My phone was lagging on heavy games such as Dead Effect, End of tomorrow and asphalt 8. My phone also lags on 2d games such as virtual city (heavy volume objects). I thought that s4 was a good phone but now I had a bad impression in gaming.
Anyway, I am using Phoenix rom v8.
I have no idea if the "rom" affects the game because of some scripts or is it just my phone. I really have no idea what was causing.
Is it because of ext2sd? Greenify?
I optimize the ram before I play and see if 50% of ram and below is available.
I am a noob? Yes.

Sounds like it may be the DVFS introduced by Samsung that a lot of people have problems with. There is a way of disabling this, check the link below.

Thank you so much!! To be honest, I didn't know it was the cause of bottleneck. I tested some games including the ones I mention and yeah, it was awfully working now as it is..

I will build a gaming rom. Currently playing all high end games with my current set even no microlags. Dungeon defenders, gta 3, shadowgun, modern combat etc.. Better than most of dual core htc phones.
tell me more games for test.

[BLACKLIST] What will cause lag on your games. + RAM friendly replacements
Sleepy Jack caused lag when there were lots of enemies. Also, when I played a few of the games you listed after a fresh reboot, there were no lags as well. However, if I kept the phone on for like 2-3 days and tried to play the same games again, they would lag. Are you running odexed or deodexed rom at the moment?
what rom exactly are you on? i hope there will be an ics cm9/miui for that.

What rom base are you using? 2.2.1 or 4.03? I left gingerbread out because it can't play games without lags.
And I'm looking forward to testing out your rom since GTA always lags regardless of what ro I use.

You will able to play it better than froyo. It will be stock JVU value pack rom and I will update it insantly when new roms come.
And rom will be RFS and no EXT4 support because EXT4 causes CPU overheads and this producing lag on games.

Ok trying now I will make a video for all games. Rom will be odexed. You don't need to restart the phone for playing games.
Now trying a new script named "gaming mode" by me.
This script force closes most of things before launching game even status bar.

Oye! Great idea. What about closing stuff like gmaps, gmail, gtalk with that scripts??btw, also can that script automatically move to some of the higher frequencies of the processor. Like 800-1000 when u r on stock kernel.

I've never noticed much improvement after converting to EXT4 anyway, apart from the higher but insignificant quadrant scores.
By the way, the JVU rom has very high ram usage, and that might interfere with the gaming performance.

I'm trying all with terminal but looks like I need a big help.
I can close all apps with terminal even haptic feedback. But how can I restart them after closing game again with scripts?
I think we can make a interface that stores high end game list to launch.
With launching a game this will launch script too and after a few sec delay game will work.
And other problem is how can this program or script detect the game is closed to restart closed process.
If we can do this we can use all widgets live wallpapers and high end games on our phone!

Hmmm.....need to do some research on that, but u can do one thing, specifically mention those games process names . And then the script can specifically get activated when any of these processes starts( we launch a game) and as soon as we KILL the process the script also gets deactivated.
U can take pikachu's help. I have exams so I am busy these days.

I will work a little bit more.
Tested bang bang racing and sleepy jack works perfect. No microlags.
You have to do the same like apple with ios. Not multithreading or multitasking, you have to make a script or rom or whatever, that concentrates only on one task/thread/or whatever it is called.
Someone posted it here already
Thats why fruit ninja is also laggy, if you slide with your finger, you arent as fast as on a ipod touch with 412mhz. Thats ****, but we have to live with that :/
Otherwise, get an iPhone

Blood & glory lags big time on darky 10.2... See how this runs on your ROM?
Video is coming!
Just don't change the stock appearence of the rom.
Gta3 is the best app to **** up the phone with lags ( my opinion )
hey guyz.i,ve been using Arconium ICS and i noticed Phone app and setting open terribly slow.so here is what i did to get them smoother.
just go to setting ,developer options and choose at most 2 processes from background procces limit bar.don,t choose don,t keep activities cause it will kill launcher every time.try and see for your selves.hope this helps
anybody else tried this?
use my touchscreen, responsiveness and battery tweaks from the android development subforum for xperia arc. i have been read the last post about the governor and the rampling too. i've been ggetting over 18 hours on an average already. (those tweaks were for the ics beta, i bet i can tweak it more).
I am having problems with some games like Backstab and real racing 2..they crash when they load..I think it's a matter of a driver issue and not related to RAM availability..

games use a lot of ram. getting out of ram can cause FCs. (try reducing your vm heap to 20 and see what it does to the other apps )
Thanks for sharing bro, it just help to improve responsiveness a little bit. It's really annoying that when u tap the dialer and few seconds later it appear...lol
are u kerenl is doom v4?
orgain kerenl is slow
Guys, just supercharge your phone. Details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533044
It's working great for me on stock ICS and just wanted to share.
After you supercharge the dialer & sms apps only lag the "first" time you open them after a reboot. After that they open pretty much instantaneously (unless you run a massive app which uses all the phones memory) in which case it will lag the first time after closing the massive app.
You can bullet proof apps of your choice including dialer, sms, launcher etc.
For me the overall smoothness of ICS is noticable.

This is definitely the way to go! Don't go crazy and bulletproof everything or else you'll end up with the same problem but definitely do the basics and you'll notice a difference for sure, without having to drop down to 2 background processes.

Hi
Im currently running Paranoid Android with Nova Launcher plus homescreen widgets and a fairly simple live wallpaper.
Gaming is not that great, emulators run fine but games like NOVA 3 and Asphalt 7 are choppy.
Ive checked CPU-Z and my CPU usage keeps jumping from around 10% to 100% so I guess I have a problem.
I know I could just uninstall a load of stuff and get rid of a lot of my customisations, which Im sure would help, but while Im on this I may as well get the best ROM I can for gaming.
Ive read stuff about CPU and GPU throttling and undervoltage setting etc, and to be honest I dont really want to go messing around too much.
Is there are ROM that has been optimised for gaming? Or should I revert back to stock? Or stick with PA and clean out all the crap?
Please help, I just got myself a MOGA PRO and its excellent, but choppy frame rates in most games are a real pain!
Thanks
Nat.

I would think that the kernel would have more importance in gaming performance than the rom itself, try FauxKernal/Matrix kernel which has slightly overclocked gpu

No I haven't.
I would recommend faux or trinity, like above. Battery life sucks on heavy gaming though.

Threre is no such thing as a best Rom, try some and see which best suites your needs.

So I picked one of these up. I run the stock ROM and am using Nova Launcher. Phone is not even rooted, it's just out of the box but with nova launcher.
During GTA Vice City and Amazing Spiderman the lag is just unbelievable. I thought a phone like this could run GTA Vice City maxed out, but if I set the resolution to above 70% and visual effects to anything but low, the lag is UNBEARABLE.
I saw people running games just fine, but I just can't figure out. Help me out here?
The firmware is the XXUBMEA, it updated to that when I first started it.
You may need to look into rooting and then removing or freezing a lot of the samsung and google bloatware if you don't use it. A lot of these run in the background regardless and take up ram, reducing the available amount, which in turn will hamper the phones performance as the ram available gets low.
Standard my phone was using around 1.2-1.4gb, now that I've rooted, frozen a lot of crap, and even used greenify to stop some apps running in the background (candy crush as an example hogs 200Mb in the background), I'm now seeing around 700-800Mb ram usage and the phone runs quite well. Haven't played any games like GTA to really push it, but I'm not seeing any more lag.
Yeah GTA lag can't really be resolved
I'm on a 4.3 AOSP rom with Ktoonz kernel that has CPU + GPU overclock and I still couldn't get it smooth even when lowered to high effects and about 75% resolution.
For some reason, practically every high end game I've played lags on the i9505
Sent from my :tank:
I was shocked at the stuttering when playing Robot Unicorn attack (Excellent game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pikpok.rua2).
Every 3-5 seconds the phone would stutter for 0.1-0.3 seconds (subjective). This did NOT happen with my i9500 Exynos.
I don't understand whats wrong. If it's a driver issue, it should be resolved by now 5 months after launch.
Can a game developer or kernel master enlighten us?

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.

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

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
