[Q] Trying to Play OOT at Full Speed - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Currently I have a Hauwei U8800, hence my choice of the forum category to post in. As mainstream is the Adreno 205 GPU, it's bottlenecking my 1.6Ghz OC Scorpion CPU (800Mhz Stock) a lot! I'm using N64oid v2.6.3, but it's just not good enough. Is there a better emulator or GPU overclocking app? I'm really dissapointed...

Moved To Q&A​
Please post all questions in the Q&A section​

N64oid is, as far as I know, currently the fastest emulator. I got halfway through the Deku tree using Oxygen at constant 1.2 GHz, if I remember correctly. Performance wasn't game-breaking, in my opinion.
Which ROM are you running? You could try a different one. I've tried a few and usually run an Antutu benchmark; I remember being particularly awed by the 3D performance of the CM7 ROM in this thread: http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_57121700/tm.htm (use Google Translate if Turkish is Greek to you, like me)
I don't know why that particular version has such good 3D performance or whether or not it's just the libs it's using, but give it a try.

I don't really wanna flash 4 the third time but thanks

3D driver optimisations

Hello every genius !!
Can someone add 3D driver optimisations in their fabulous kernel / rom like cyanogen mod7?
In cyanogen mod we can notice a real boost performance in 3d applications. So why not include the cyanogen 3d driver in next rom or kernel ?
Thank you all !

I'll quote my post from another topic
Guys, look at that:
http://glbenchmark.com/subtest_results_of_device.jsp?D=Google+Nexus+S&id=405
There are 12 tests of Nexus S in GLBenchmark, and 11 of them are below 2400 points (more or less like our SGS), but the most recent one (uploaded at 2011.02.11) scored 3025 points, more than Tegra 2. This result's is made by someone from GLBenchmark, and shows at "GLBenchmark team tested" page of the results. How is that possible?

So, according to this benchmark, the performance of Nexus S'ses SGX540 increased dramatically somehow. And according to this article,
LG's software build also uses a newer version of Imagination Technologies' driver (1.6 instead of 1.5)

So, maybe, in the latest update (2.3.2, or whatever) Nexus S got this new 1.6 GPU driver with increased up to 30% performance?
Now this is getting interesting!
any more info about this ?
fake?
I think ots a fake or it was a special rom, i use darys rom with voodoo and have 2537
But wich driver the Cyanogen team use in their cyanogen mod7 ?
Their 3d driver score in quadrant pro is very impresive, nearly 30 to 40% more than stock froyo 2.2 rom.
I will try to ask the cyanogen team.

// oh your right
Well.. This really looks interesting.
Now this is interesting
Looking forward to this
Surprised someone with a little more knowledge hasn't commented on this yet. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon
In the meantime -> report here if the sources (I mean precompiled module, which will be inside the package) are online

What is your quadrant GPU score in CM? On JS5 2.2.1 i have 2d:293; 3d:879. Are CM scores really better?
SGX540 is much better GPU than the one used in Tegra 2.
So I guess these results are caused by the newer driver version (1.6) released by IT.
with mitra rom i have these score on quadran advanced:
overclocked to 1.3ghz (on set cpu min and max @1.3)
total score 3702
at stock 1ghz (on set cpu min and max @1ghz)
total score 2865
good score for me with this rom.
i thing that the driver are updated...

Chainfire3D on Optimus One

The Optimus One has the adreno 200 GPU which supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and meets the requirements for Chainfire3D. I have it running on my Optimus T with 2.2 and haven't noticed anything different when configuring the default settings. Nightmode works, but that's just about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Warning: This replaces (from my understanding of the thread) an existing driver with a new one. It requires root.
I would like to hear back experiences from others who have an Optimus one and tried Chainfire3D.
It also requires a 1 ghz+ cpu. Try running a tegra game to see if it works. Don't know if they will even start... HDPI res required.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
Tegra Zone doesn't render properly in HVGA but the screen resolution is not entirely the problem. Installing a game from it crashes the device, probably because it was never made to work with ARM11 chipsets.
Maybe it is/will be useful for something we don't know yet.

For me only pinball hd for tegra works fine... nothing else :/
Tried with guerilla bob thd, and a few other thd games. But chainfire doesn't work with those games.

Problem with Chainfire
I am using an Optimus one Myself and attempted installing this but not only did it fail to install I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now it won't even open upthe app to allow the attempt of the installation of the codec. (basically I attempt to launch it, it fails goes back to menu, this first happened when I was able to launch the program and attempt to install the codec) Now my best guess if I had any is It's incorrect ROM or something. I'm not entirely sure I'm still getting used to this phone. Already rooted it and broken once thus fixing/reflashing. So I've learned a few things. But if someone better then me and I'm sure there are lots of you here could just point me in the right direction I'd be very happy person indeed. Also, If I'm posting in the wrong section I apologize I really suck at this forum thing.
Another odd thing I noticed, I was only able to oc to 600mhz when I've heard I could oc it to 1000mghz. Is this something to do with my rom?

Overclocking to 1ghz is not possible with optimus one...maximum stable clock speed is 806mhz...it seems u r on stock with root...in that u cannot oc to more than 600mhz...
use any other custom kernel...or simply use any other ROM...
LOL 1gHz on an Optimus One... Haha my O1 gets 806mHz tops!

I can run 864MHz on my phone and combined with the correct settings on chainfire 3d u can definitely notice a difference in gaming performance
Would the fact that Chainfire 3d is now not even booting also have something to with the fact that I'm running a stock ROM and cannot overclock passed 600?

I'm going to try out this talho rom and hope for the best.
I figured it all out. simple reading errors on my part as it were going through tutorials and whatnot. either way I got chainfire working just working on download GTa3 to see how it performs.
It worked for me a while ago on CM7 and oxygen, it doesn't need 1GHz+ and is no risk, reflashing the ROM replaces it
Just give it a go, but you need opengles line in build.prop

HTC Titans CPU versus HTC Desire HD CPU (MSM8255)

Hello everyone!
I've been looking on the web for some time now about the new HTC Titans CPU,
clocked at 1.5GHz, named as Scorpion MSM8255 (same as ours (DHDs CPU)).
What do you guys think about it? Since our MSM8255 can "officialy" only hit 1GHz,
but now HTCs new MSM8255 can get it to 1.5GHz?!
I've searched the wiki also and i cannot find any differences.
Oh wait, is it that T at the end maybe? Just found it now.
HTC Titan: MSM8255T
Okay, so anyone know more about this? Feel free to comment
It's the same chipset. HTC did the same on the Flyer. They just OCed the cpu to 1.5 GHz since the cpu can handle it without problems.

How easy is it to actually oc the dhd cpu and is it really wise?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
A fellow Bristolian! Hi!
How easy? Very. 1.3GHz is achievable on the DHD with stock volts (1.1V). Wise? Yeah, anything up to around 1.2V is sensible, and safe is far beyond that.
To be honest, nobody will need to go past 1.3GHz, virtually all ROMs run smoothly at that clock.
Haha hey nice surprise lol
Oh sounds good. Pretty new to this only just rooted and flashed custom ROM the other day. Wasn't sure if I should OC or not tho. Guessing it's going to reduce an already poor battery life haha

I've had mine at 2GHz. I clocked it down to 1,3GHz after 10 minutes since it got REALLY hot. But it managed to run just fine at that speed.

Well, all of the kernels undervolt as well. Almost all of them run the processor at 1.2GHz at stock voltage. So overclocking shouldn't shorten battery life. Also, remember that many of the ROMs have andrev or virtuous OC daemons installed, so they will be underclocked to minimum speed most of the time. So either way, battery life and performance will be improved.
As for overclocking to 2GHz, while it is possible, I'd very strongly suggest you don't do so.
But it does prove that firstly, the MSM8255 is very overclockable, unlike the larger processed chip in the Desire (which I think will really go as far as 1.2GHz only, correct me if I'm wrong...). The Flyer's processor is exactly the same, just selected (a process called binning) because it is "capable" of running at that speed at the required, and desired voltages with the required stability that the manufacturer (Qualcomm) wants.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently using rcmix runnymede ROM and its not oc'd. Would a OC of 1.3 be wise on stock voltages?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
1.3 might be pushing it. Mine needs 1.125V to be stable. I'd suggest that you probably do the same just in case, or even better 1.150.
The safest thing to do is take a look at the NCTeam kernel voltages, and use those (use IncrediControl from the Market to change voltages). They should work for virtually everybody. 1.3GHz is the speed I needed on Sense ROMs to be very smooth, you might find it is less though.
The desire hd doesnt actually overheat much @ 1.3ghz (I use that + Performance governor when playing some games), so the CPU can probably be overclocked quite alot without any problems
Other phones overheat quite a bit @ stock speeds...
Mine is set to 1,6GHz and it can handle 3d gaming for hours with the case only getting a bit warm. I wrote in a different thread that WP7 is getting an update and it will be able to run on DHD hardware. Maybe some devs will be interested in porting it to DHD then. It would be nice to dual boot Android and WP7. I can almost see all iPhone users faces.

Just to make sure I was clear, I meant that 1.3GHz could be pushing it on stock voltage, not that it could be pushing the limits of the chipset for speed. I think everyone got that, and knows that, but was just making sure.
As for heat, my phone didn't even heat up at 1.3GHz. You can push very far with no problems.

Don't forget that we need a wp7 bootloader. The android one can't handle wp7. Furthermore we probably have to repartition our internal memory (or sdcard if you want to run it from there) since wp7 uses other partitions than android (not sure about that, but i guess we have to.)

[Q] Which ROM for performance on LG P700

Hello there, community!
This is my first post on xda forums and I will try to make it quick.
I'm looking for a fast ROM that will run smoothly sacrificing more unneeded features and options. I found stock 4.0.3 rom stuttering and lagging from time to time, even in Contacts section.
With no work in the background, my LG has around 80-100 RAM left, which I'd like to increase. I also plan on running some more advanced 3d games, so a little overclock would also be nice - I know this CPU is already oc'd from 800 to 1000 mhz but maybe it's worth trying to push it a bit more and take the weight off by disabling CPU rendering in favor of the GPU (I mean this great performance boost everyone is talking about when you force GPU rendering). If it works the way I think and with the GPU taking care of all the rendering, maybe processor won't heat so much and could be overclocked above 1 Ghz. What do you guys think?
In short, I'm looking for a fast ROM with a gaming and overclocking potential. Thanks in advance for the replies!
I use Slimbean 4.1.2 and it's really smooth and fast!
It's also perfect for my gaming needs but I don't really know what games you're after though!
Give it a try, you will certainly like it!
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda app-developers app
Well, I'm looking for overall better performance. For example on this stock rom, in the game Galaxy on Fire sound and interface lags etc. I found it odd that some simple games like Jetpack Joyride often stutter during gameplay, but Rayman Jungle Run with much better sound and graphics runs smoothly.
I'll check the rom you mentioned. Any more sugestions?
You should give a try to PAC ROM 4.3.Even it has some bugs,I found it smoother than I thought.After it will become stable,it will be one of the best or even the best ROM as performances.

[ULTRA KERNEL] the project Extreme

Hey every developers in XDA.
now XPERIA PLAY is not as good as before,because its performance to keep pace with The Times.but the RAM, ROM,CPU,also the screen are still very well THERE is ONLY one problem ––the GPU
so i want to develop a GPU OVERCLOCKING KERNEL with my project ExtremeRoms
the GPU CLOCK must be over 310mhz!!
dose anybody want to teach me how to develop?
thanks
sorry for my bad English

You should read the rules of the forums here on xda. This isn't the place to ask people how to develop a kernel. Devs have already proven overclocking the gpu on it phone is bad.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
It has been said many times before. A the Adreno 205 in our phone and basically all Adreno chips are CPU/GPU integrated into one chip. When you overclock yoour phone you are also OC your GPU. Devs who have managed to OC the GPU by itself have run into issues that were not conducive as a daily use. Many have tried and it has been said time and time again.
Now that being said just doing a quick search for Adreno 205 Overclock GPU XDA brings up dozens of pages of where other phones with the 220 and or 205 were said to be overclocked, but then reading down even more its not overclocked.
Hate to rain on your parade and your thread, you are certainly welcome to try but even devs with loads of experience, DoomKernel himself, has been unable to make a GPU OC, in V13 of his DoomKernel for XP he quickly released v14 and reverted the GPU overclock due to issues.
---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------
Given the age of our phone and its hardware I think what we are able to do is about the best we can get out of our beloved device. I am sure there is always room for improvement but without all sources from Sony (Ericsson) and Qualcomm I believe we are at the limit of what can be done to our device. Its either be happy with where are device is and be happy that it plays MC3/MC4 and a boatload of emulators with a sweet kicka$$ gamepad, or bunker down and buy a newer device with far better specs and no gamepad/touchpad/triggers.
Now, I was able to use a GS4 for a week and an HTC One, and as much as those device are beautiful in their own right, gaming is horrible. I quickly came back to my PLAY and am very happy with this device still, yes even with its old age and its issues, I am still a happy camper.
Now, this being all said, if you want to work on making an Ultra Kernel I know myself and several people would happily give your kernel a shot. Please dont take my comments as demeaning or belittling. I just think people need to realize that at this point theres very little improvement upon whats been done.
Now, that also being said if you want a beta tester for your kernel I would be happy to test it for you.
oh thats my foul
