Not completely without lags but it's playable. Dead Space is really a great game and you can download it for free in Samsung's Appstore.

Worked on my SGS+ pretty much lag-less, not OCed, Brood ROM RC2 and updated graphic drivers. That said however GTA3 hangs my mobile pretty much every single time during gameplay so that the restart is neccessary after few mins of gaming...

Asphalt 6 is choppy depending i think on which Govorner and I/O you use.
ive found that onDemand and SIO is best for Asphalt 6.
i couldnt play it on a totally stock rom because it was too laggy but with the Galaxy W drivers it was much better.

Real racing 2 works!!

Nova?? I have tried 2 different versions but didn`t work... where did you get it! don`t post the link just give a hint

For some games we should also list the version numbers which have been confirmed to run.
For example, I bought Asphalt 6 from gameloft.com (which they list as compatible with the i9001) and the version they provided me with was 1.0.4. Unfortunately it did not run and always crashed after the intro video. I then found out that version 3.5.5 runs without problems.

im using Asphalt 6 1.0.8, how do you get it to version 3.5.5 ?

9mm hd works fine without any lags v1.0.2, other versions give pink graphics, modern combat 3 works fine no lags (Android market v1.0.1 )
Games like mc2 and mc3 have now been optimized specially for snapdragon chips,
after testing mc2 on i9000 and i9001, the snapdragon version works much smoother with slightly different but better textures.
Can anyone help me i can't see gta 3 in the market ?? i really want this game

Actually version 3.5.5 is an older version. Blame Gameloft's illogical versioning schemes...
some website said:
Gameloft always used build numbers starting with v3.x.x (sample: v3.1.6) but since Q2 2011 they started with build numbers 1.x.x (sample v1.0.2). To avoid confusion v1.x.x is always the latest/best version to use

Nexus 7 Performance?

Hello,
I have bought my nexus 7 3G 32GB about one month ago.And tried to play many games,all games ran pretty smooth without lagg except these:
nova3,nfs:mw...Also I didnt get any special effects like fire on buildings in nova,however asphalt 7 ran very smooth no lagg at all,altough many people said that it's laggy.So how could i optimize my gaming performance?I've tried trinity kernel and m-kernel.OCed at 1.7ghz and 700mhz didnt helped in games... All what i felt performance increase was only in benchmark scores.Games ran almost same as before flashing kernels...What kernel should i use only for best performance ,i dont really care about battery.And what other optimizations should i do to get all these effects in games and reduce lag?

Hi man i played those games on my nexus but havent ur problem ...r u sure it is for ur kernel?

Yes.I'm sure.By the way you mean that you don't get any lagg on nova 3 or nfs mw?

I'm a Trinity fan, but on my 7 I actually found faux kernel to provide me the smoothest gameplay.I didn't start with much lag in the first place though, biggest thing for me is on dead trigger with graphics set to ultra high there would be a stutter at times when blasting zombies with my shotgun. I could just turn graphics down, but then the zombies don't get thrown backwards which looks cool.
Faux smoothed it out a bit, though I've never had a kernel make a significant difference on any device. NFS MW plays smooth for me, as it did with the stock kernel. Haven't downloaded nova 3 on the 7 yet.

trinty is not that good, I use franco and games play withoud lag. When I played GTA Vice City with trinty kernel, my nexus got very hot and than shutted down. With franco it just stays pretty cool.
and however, try to play that same game with some different kernels (m-kernel or faux), or put the govenor to performance and than try it again (but that really sucks battery). it is strange, those games play smoothly on my nexus 7 with franco.

How about nova 3?Is it smooth on franco or faux kernels?

Nova 3 was poor for me too. Played better on my dual core EVO 3d....checkout this post for more discussion on it...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085452

BUMP.

Bought Asphalt 8 - Heavy Lag on GS4-i9500

Just bought Asphalt 8, honestly expected it to run flawlessly on my Black GS4-i9500 but that was not the case. Installation was fine, but game is really laggy and the graphic is kind of messed up and unstable. It's like the graphic card is not powerful enough to run it at full speed. I'm playing on default settings and I made sure there is no other application running besides Airborne. My phone is a genuine one and have not rooted it. It's the same for Minion Rush and Asphalt 7.
What might be causing this problem according to you guys and is there any way to fix this?
Many thanks.

Had no lags like this on stock. Everything ran flawlessly.
but smearing issue bothered me so I rooted it and installed perseus kernel. Everything is fast as hell. And using wanam rom.
try a factory reset. Then update to latest ota. And test again.

There is no such thing called "lag" on my I9500, on GE Port or stock Touchwiz.
But yes, my phone is rooted and got swapped external to internal.
Probably there's something wrong in your beloved storage.

It is the way it is.
Forget these guys who says Asphalt 8 run flawlessly on I9500/I9505, it doesn't. Flawlessly is 60fps all the time. S4 can't deliver that.
It doesn't matter which ROM you are using, they do little to no help on GPU performance, unless when you are OCing the GPU.
Just make sure you don't have background apps running.
For Asphalt 8 on I9500 expect a frame rate on High Quality averaging on 30fps, with peaks on 40fps and dips on 15fps.
I9505 is a few frames worse.
If you really want have a gain on FPS, you should have root, be on Android 4.2 and change the resolution to let's say 720x1280.

got ard 30fps, can't say perfect but good enough to play. Anyway racing game don't require very high fps.
If you experience HEAVY LAG then something must be wrong.

I am playing real racing on i9500 from past few days. and IT SUCKS. fone get stuck time to time while loading game. I have to reboot it again and again

Sorry I'm a little bit out of the main subject.
Is there any way to show FPS when gaming on android devices ? I looked in playstore and there's none.
To get back to the subject, you should see what's wrong with your phone .. Asphalt runs well on S4 as it's running on IPAD 4 (but the bigger screen makes it better experience really) .. S2 also runs it well with medium graphics.

I thought the 3d titles were a bit laggy or jerky but played on iPhone 5 and we're the same smaller screen was rubbish.

FPS Meter (root required)
It is paid though... It used to be cheaper, I paid U$ 1.00 (maybe I bought it on specials days, don't know...) but now it is around U$ 4.00.
It shows fps on screen. It affects the performance a little bit when active, something around 5%-10%.

It effects much more than 5%-10%. It is taking down the FPS by about 10-15FPS!

I found no Lag yet on my phone. I've played and still playing Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 4, shadowgun:deadzone etc. and all run smooth.

I had the same problem with my S4, I noticed that it only happened when playing using the Bumper Cam view.
Since switching to the hood view its never frozen or stopped once.

been playing asphalt 8 for 2 weeks now, never had a problem.

Wow. All this time, I've been thinking that it is running at 1080. Are you sure its at 720? I mean have you tried to run the game at 720p and noticed any difference?

Works fine for me. Never had a problem

Asphalt 8, NFS Mostwanted, Fifa 2014, GTA Vicecity, all running smoothly and lagfree on my I9500 on Omega rom V14 stock kernel

i have no problem in my i9500 and i9505 i am using wanam rom in both

Somethings weird on your phone... To everyone, the Adreno 320 and PowerVR SGX544 are pretty much the same in performance. On that note, I'm playing Asphalt 8 at around 40-50 FPS. No frame drops at all. Using a Canadian SGS4 so its a S600. Running Broodplanks Pure AOSP. Its most likely the best ROM for gaming. Gets 29000 in Antutu without any over clock.

here asphalt 8 is just fine..
around 40-55 fps. No overclock.

[Q] LG G2 game lags

Hello,
i downloaded a few games and i`m surprised that on Snap800 are some lags...
Assassins Creed Pirates
GTA San Andreas
at last this 2 game has lagged for me and idk why? can anyone help?

If games are not optimised for the chip, lag will occur. If games aren't properly coded or graphically intensive the phone will use a lot of processing power and heat up quickly. Then it will start throttling the CPU to avoid overheating.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Ok, thanks for answer... but can be removed some lags via changing rom? cuz im now at stock wit no root and maybe such lags?its really noticable

Try disabling thermal throttling. I would consider this a design flaw
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

i dont want warm phone for this games, i already have disabled high temp off, if ut suggestion wont warm phone ill do it

actually on GTA not so many lags as on assassin xD bu gta sucks as his gameplay so not so interesting game, im worry about assassin lag its sometime goes really noticable but still playble but i saw that that game was running smooth on nexus 7 abt interesting wrf with ubisoft that cannot make game optimized x.x or aaah im confused what ti do that not warm phone and makes games smooth

hello guys,
I have recently bought G2 D802 and i have found the same type of lagging in my device to, previously i was using S3 and S4 and gaming was smooth in both of my previous devices. I play games which do not have high graphics like Temple run 2, Granny Smith and Banana Kong.
It is such a costly device and i am ruing the day i bought this device because i also dont like the camera result of my G2, hoping that update will resolve this problem....

try setting down_differential to 70 in ondemand settings. this stops the CPU frequency jumping up and down so much
you can use apps like trickster to do this easily, but you need to be rooted
remember to turn it back to 10 after playing your games for better battery efficiency
edit.. oops, sorry I brought up an old thread, I forgot I was looking at search results

Best Gaming Setup Thread + Gameloft Sale!

So i was wondering for hours what are the most common or better most preferred rom and kernel configuration and their settings for gaming(not benchmarks) most people using for smooth gameplay and for what games.So i decided to create a thread for everyone to post their personal config on gaming.
So i will start:
I use cleanrom 2.6 with latest elementalx with stock values and gboost enabled and deadline
i get some lags playing modern combat 4 and other heavy games.I could never achieve a steady framerate. Can you recommend something? Im also a little afraid of oc :silly:
So whats your benches on gaming on your roms or kernels?
P.S. Gameloft Sale!
Following games are 0.99 cents:
Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour
9mm
The Amazing Spiderman
Order and Chaos Online
The Adventures of Tintin
Gangstar Vegas
The Dark Knight Rises

sorry for oot, but try install 'heroes of order and chaos'. It's free and good game. Can you pls give feedback whether it runs smooth or laggy, because I want to buy nexus 7

I'm currently using stock ROM w/ ElementalX kernel 2.6. CPU @ 1.7Ghz, GPU @ 490Mhz.
I've yet to find any Android games that don't run smoothly and I also have no problems emulating PSP, DS, PSX or N64 (some 64 run a little slower but still playable at 20-30 FPS).
P.S. thanks for the heads up on GL sale items, looks like its time to jump into Order and Chaos.
