I started this thread because i just bought my device and first thing i did was to flash cyanogenmod 7 but now i'm starting to think that the problems i'm having, is it only me who's having these problems. What i found is that by hardware acceleration enabled by default in cyanogemod, there are graphics glitches and texture missing when playing open world games such as miami vindication. I chosen this game because it's an open world game and requires lots of texture rendering (aka GPU stress) but when i disabled hardware acceleration using an app called blade buddy, the game ran fine BUT the UI started to lag like crap.
So i started this thread to share my problems with other if others are having similar problem, do report please. Also if you play miami vindication specially, i would like to know if it runs fine.
Screenshots comming soon !
me too it the same prob

Witnessed something rather strange a few times so I thought I would ask if anyone else has seen it and what does it mean?
Set up Fast & Furious Adrenaline and was excited to see what it looked like - it loaded up and i began to drive through the level - I was very disappointed as it was very choppy and dropping frames - then, after almost a minute of play when I was about to turn it off it began running full FPS and looked awesome - i was pleasantly relieved but didn't understand the delay ...
I also experience this on the desktop frequently, I have a mario coinbox widget that sometimes I click (usually to adjust audio volumes before I enter certain programs) and sometimes when clicking it it runs in slow motion (i'm not aware of anything running in the BG that would cause this) and is later fine.
Additionally I had installed the mario live wallpaper (freaking awesome!) and went to show it to an iPhone fanboy - of course, when enabled it went in slow motion dropping tons of frames - then after about 1 minute it began to run full FPS without issue.
Is this a memory issue where memory is being realocated to perform operations or does the GPU take this long to throttle up? can't wait for root to adjust things like this ...
On another note I installed PSXDroid and FF7 runs OK but the sound is pretty choppy - I'm thinking it may have to do with the slow stock Class 2 SD, so I'm in the midst of replacing it with my old G1 Class 6 8GB
Could the SD be the problem the whole while
Certainly hope so! Do try out the faster card and report to us the outcome!
I noticed the same thing when looking at www.espn3.com over wifi... the connection and audio was fine but the video was very choppy... and then all the sudden the video would be smooth.
FF7 is barely playable with sound on this Vibrant handles it much faster.

yeah ... I just updated PSX4Droid from 1.4 to 1.5 and I'm seeing about the same performance in FF7 ... (using a .bin image - are you using the same or .img? or something else?)
I want to say that after moving everything over to the Class 6 I am seeing better performance with: MarioLive Wallpaper & F&F Adrenaline - however no improved performance on FF7 in PSX Emulator (I'm guessing it's optimized for motorolla procs and not snap-dragons is all?)
How come it takes 5 mins to pull everything off of the SD and about 30mins to put it all back btw?
If your having issues with FF7 try this version of psx4droid

ff7 ran fine for me? all i did was just buy the version from the market.

i'm using psx4droid 1.1 and it runs everything great. i do think that the gpu is probably alittle slow when increasing it's clock speed. might be the lag your looking at.. or i heard they had driver issues with the live wallpapers for opengl. and the devs for those apps were looking into the issues. something about a nasty hole in the drivers. dont' quote me though

Invalid thread - but I will check out a lesser version per suggestions and per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8514607
Have anybody tried yet reckless racing on their HD2 android .. graphics are awesome and might need some overclocking, but I'm interested in knowing if anybody tried out yet.
Droid Life Review with videos and screenshots
whohoooo run great on my HD2 a very nice game!! thx for this tip
Best racing game for android in my opinion. It runs smooth on my hd2. I really like the "micro machines esque" overhead gameplay. Its nice to see something different. The accelerometer based 1st person racing games aren't really fun to play, more of a novelty.
Definitely gonna check this out looks like loads of fun
Not sure if it will take over my HomerunBattle3D addiction tho
plays great on mdeejay rEVOlution 2.2...nice sound effects and graphics
also playing "dungeon hunter"...nice game
Hi
I have a serious Problem with my HD2!
I'm using Nexus Hd2 2.9 : (Its Really Great!!! But ...)
but when I try to play a 3d game just like Reckless Racing the screen would be like this:
hxxp://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3291/recklessproblemonhd2.png
Please Help me! Should I Change my ROM cause many friends could run the game with out any problem!
Can I Fix it?
Kind Regards
Senamas
this is a seriously cool game thanks for the headsup on it
chainfire 3d :download from the market
download the plugin nvidia
install the chainfire 3d find the nvidia plugin (it will find) and fix the market from the menu, push pre-app/ reckless racing / load plugin / nvidia
it will work
So I got "The Dark Knight Rises" game from Google play. Took me quite a long time to download. But it was just the beginning of my problems. The game lags so much to the point that it freezes during gameplay and force closes. I have tried using chainfire 3D and loaded Tegra plug-in and tried playing but no joy. So after paying around $ 7.00 for this supposedly awesome game, I am not even able to play it. I can't even ask for a refund. Has anybody downloaded this game and played on our 7.7? Any suggestion on how to make it lag free? I have used System tuner Pro and killed almost all except for the required tasks. I have uninstalled so many of my favorite games and apps just so that I could play this game. I am all ear to all the suggestions for a better gameplay.
I am still using android 3.2 though my phone is rooted.

Nope. The game itself is buggy and/or not written well to support our processor. I've tried it on my sgs2 as well and same results.

Hi guys,
like many of you. i just received nexus 10 yesterday after some basic browsing, everything went fine.
now i want to try google earth to see how screen will perform. it was so laggy to the unusable.
then i tried some tablet made game (http://machinarium.net/), is also very slow.
please see youtube video 1 & video 2.
so is my unit defected? or this normal can anyone confirm please.
thank you in advance
Games running very badly
Overall Responsiveness?
On the first link, some people there are also experiencing some FPS issues, but a possible fix for that seems to be to Force GPU Acceleration. The second link has a reviewer mentioning dropped frames a lot, which might mean it could be a common experience. Forcing GPU Acceleration though might help.
i cannot find where the developer setting on my nex10 can you please tell me where?

Runs slow for me too. Its not just you. I have a feeling...and I hope I'm wrong. The resolution this thing outputs cannot be handled by the GPU in graphic intensive games...

Instead of knee jerking why don't you send an email to the developers to report the issue and find out when they're going to optimize their apps for Nexus 10.
If demanding games like NFS MW, Dead Trigger, MC 3, etc. run smoothly I don't how they can't optimize that child's game.
Hello Everybody,
Well,I guess its over a month since I've bought my smartphone [Grand 2] but I am noticing very minor lags on even low end games.
Well,Grand 2 is well equipped with quite good specifications but Still games like Temple run,Temple run 2,GTA Vice City is lagging.Though,The lags are very minor.Touch is responsive but there's a lil lag in Graphics rendering.
I don't why its happening so,
I tried almost each and everything- Disabled Bloatwares [NO ROOT],Disable S Voice,No widgets at Home Screen,Tried clearing RAM before each gameplay,Changed Windows and Animation scales to "OFF" in Developers Settings but still there no such effect.
I also own a Nexus 7 but I am able to play each and every game without any lag even GTA SAN and GTA VC.
I don't know what's the issue with this Samsung Galaxy Grand 2.
Can anyone please help me out of this trouble?
I am really regretting right now that Why I am bought this smartphone.
Thank you!!
Thats weird. I've been playing a lot of Low-end as well as High-end games on Grand 2 and Rarely experience any lags.
I'm not really sure if this works :fingers-crossed: but you can try downloading Clean Master from the play store. It provides a Game booster feature which says that it'll speed up your games by up to 25%. You can add a game booster shortcut folder on your homescreen and whenever you start games from this folder, it'll speed em up.
I am sure you would have checked it but still, did you bychance have the power saving mode on?

update to the latest version this lag had been fixed. and while playing game disabled power saving mode ,close all the running apps and do force stop and clear ram and sometimes phone memory get fulled also caused phone slow so see ur internal memory as well.
Do you mean, HD games want to play well & smooth on midrange smartphone?
Just try to disable unwanted apps like samsung apps etc...
In my experience, maintain ram free above 500mb. Now i can able to play games smooth & without more lag.

the thing is...after the Kitkat update that is the 4.4,2 every basic game has some minor or considerable lag. Its not the device that has the problem ,its the update that has the bugs. Jellybean never had any such lag in any basic game.
