Gaming @ S III

So, here is the thing.
The only thread i saw about Games on S III is one from whic games work on LIB FW. Maybe i didn't search enough but it seems there isn't an "actual one" so i'd like to know which games are natively compatible and which others you can make compatible like for example editing build.prop and change device, model, name and brand.
Did this in my Motorola RAZR and chage it to Galaxy Nexus, i couldn't get NFS Hot Pursuit, Modern Combat 2 and 9mm to work, so did that and then installed SD DATA through the game, and all went well, fully working games. But now with S III i can't get 9mm to work and with CyanogenMOD9 i can't get Modern Combat 3 to be compatible trough Play Store when in Sammy's ROM it was compatible.
Then i edited build.prop to be a Galaxy Nexus, installed them, downloaded DATA for 9mm being a GNexus (can't being S III) and tried to play it, but the game it's about to start, no FC, no error, but game just closes itself and system goes to homescreen, game is open in background but it kept doing the same thing. Diferent from Modern Combat 3 that works fine.
I think it's obviously 'cause i downloaded DATA being a GNexus but how can i download compatible SD DATA for S III and play it???
So, i wanna know if there is a way for make this work and i'm leaving games that i have that works well with CyanogenMOD 9 so we can make a list perhaps.
Games:
· Modern Combat 3
· Modern Combat 2
· Asphalt 6
· ShadowGun
· Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit
And then i got all of the Humble Bundle games for Android :
· Anomaly
· BIT.TRIP BEAT
· Canabalt
· Cogs
· EDGE
· Fieldrunners
· Osmos
· Smuggle Truck
· Snuggle Truck
· Spirits
· Swords & Soldiers
· Toki Tori
· World Of Goo
· Zen Bound 2
PD: Sorry for my english, it's not my language, so if someone can help, i'd really appreciate it!

Can u try nova 3 by changing the build.prop because nova 3 isn't compatible.............and thanks

:facepalm: Maaate, are you really serious with your post?
I can explain it to ya....
Guess why the Gnexus games work on your Moto phone?
Gnexus SoC is a TI4460 and the moto SoC is a TI4430.
The only difference is the frequency clock of the cpu and gpu (PowerVR540)
Look here.
And now take a closer look at the hardware of your Galaxy s3.
I has a Exynos 4412 chipset, that includes the same 4 arm-a9 cores, but uses the MaliMP4 gpu instead of the powerVR solution.
And thats all.
I know, there are games, that can use the same data on different chipsets, like dead trigger.
But older games from gameloft have data for each chipset. So if you change your phone from GS3 to Gnexus it will work with some games, but with others those have special data for every SoC it just wont work.
Sry for ya
and I hope I could help you a bit with your problem.

Facepalm why? Not all of us have to know that about chipsets and whatever.
So there isn't anyway to play 9mm on GS III? Or any other game that isn't compatible??

Nexus 10 gaming lag discussion

Hello folks
Some high res games in the nexus does have frame drips or even lags
Such as Modern Combat 4
Or GTA maxed out
So do u think its a software or hardware problem...
To start off, I personally think that the high res screen that the nexus 10 has has a large impact on its performance
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Its not the high res screen dude. Its the kernel. If its the high res screen the game wouldn't run smoothly for 15 secs then lag for 5 seconds.

In some cases it maybe but check the video in youtube of modern combat 4, overall it just stutters
But for GTA ur right maybe its kernel problem
My 2 cents

Glad someone brought this up. Mine lags in vice city at 80 PC resolution. N.o.v.a. 3 seems to be fine but stutters at times. I tried every benchmarking software out there and they all returned normal scores for the nexus 10. So I really don't know where the problem lies?

Mine starts to lag when the back of the unit gets too warm. Hoping the devs can fix it via kernel or custom rom. But so far though this is the best android tablet for gaming thus far. Gonna have to see though whats going to be released by others at CES next month. I may just return and hopefully they come out with tablets with quadcore exynos and slightly better gpu.

The MC4 N10 YouTube videos that I've seen are running the leaked MC4. The leaked version had Galaxy S3 specific settings (Edit: I'm wrong about this). The version that you can currently purchase on the N10 is way smoother than the leak. Unfortunately, I uninstalled the copy of MC4, but I suspect that if you open up the android manifest, you'd see different settings. The leak ran at native resolution (Edit: not positive about this). Based on the limited time I played on the N10, I think the production version on the N10 is running at 1/2 resolution, possibly with lower quality textures. It still looks and plays great, but the movement felt a bit "slushy" compared to the iPad version. I highly reccomend the game. The only reason I uninstalled is because I had 40 hours of multiplayer gameplay on the iOS version and was ranked around 300 with nearly all of the weapons purchased. Unfortunately when I log in on the N10 with the same Gameloft Live account, none of the multiplayer progress is carried over. It seems the Android players are on different servers, though I can confirm that WIFI/local multiplayer games are cross platform.
Edit: I'm completely wrong about the AndroidManifest.xml. Both specify xperia play optimized content and the same OpenGL ES version. I'm not sure where the changes are but, the production version plays pretty smooth. If you look at AndroidManifest files for other games, like Shadowgun Deadzone, you can see specifications for texture compression and things like that, but I don't see anything like that for MC4. Sorry for the mistake.

The Exynos 5 quad is supposed to first be paired with the Mali-T658 GPU, which is similar to ours but with twice as many cores and a few other better things. It also isnt supposed to be out for another couple quarters.

Games seem pretty smooth to me

the king has fallen (high end games that dont work smoothly on max setting)

The mali 400 in sgs 2 is bound by it's vertex and triangle perfomance so newer vertex and triangle heavy games will not run smoothly on S2
here some list that i tested :
Real Boxing no full effect
Gangstar rio (effects disabled on android)
Gangstar vegas(need optimization, still quite playable on high)
Anomaly 2 (vertex and triangle heavy games low perfomance benchmark score test)
modern combat 4 (need compatible rom and kernel,playable on latest neatrom but still not smooth)
Tainted Keep
Horn ( SGS 3 and note 2 optimized,seriously???!! lag on my sgs 2)
Conduit HD (optimized tegra 3 vertex and triangle heavy,still very playable but not smooth)
The dark knight rises (little - mid Stuttering on some area, i wonder is there any android phone that run this game smoothly)
still our S2 can play 90% games smoothly on max setting,the best and cheapest android gaming phone to date
any info or tips to play those game smoothly... just post below

From what I understood mali was supposed to be marginally better

Well its true that our mali 400mp its OLD almost 3 years
But still can play games
And what the f*** intensive graphics games on a phone ...c'mon i dont think that someone have an s2 (and plays the dark knight rises,i played it too and arkham origins) and doesnt have at least a dual core pc with at least 2 gb ram
I play games like assasins creed 4 far cry3 and crysis 3 on my i7 4770k 16gb ram ddr3 2133mhz on 2 monitors using asus gtx 690 4gb ram at 1920x1080 for each monitor

Hey, BTW
Real Boxing was working with Tegra 3 graphics on my i9100
Gangster Vegas was working very good on High as well
Modern combat 4 works great
The dark knight rises works great as well
I haven't encountered any lags with those games
Even Dead trigger 2 performance on the s2 is acceptable with the high graphics enabled
NOTE : I am running stock cyanogenmod 10.2

I can pretty much confirm this on CM10.1, except maybe 'Real Boxing' haven't got around to ever playing it

all i can say that the galaxy s2 is always and will be a device that has its magic ... i tried the s4 and the note3 and all the galaxy new devices but the s2 has its ironic shape that most if us like and its performance is very very good and we are getting every single android version here thanks to xda alive members and its 4.3 inch screen which is to me the best in the business where its not small nor big :good: ...but all i hope is we can get an official kitkat or a new TW official rom newer than 4.1.2

CyanogenMod performance is much better than any touchwiz based rom, dorimanx kernel is awesome too but it's just part of your system not full system. I'm sure performance increase in games is also noticeable compared with samsung crap loaded roms. "Clean" android (aosp) is really clean. Only downside might been not perfect implementation of system parts that are only available for newer devices and these supported already by official updates to system base, so android 4.2.2, 4.3.1 and 4.4.1 is not perfect on s2 just because unofficial libraries still taken from 4.1.2 base. For example GTA III wasn't working on 4.3.1 but had no problems back with android 4.0.4... Compatiblity is random For FPS in games I'm still really happy we can at least run these games and as said before better get a PC if you want to play games, for price of today's high end phone you got great machine. S2 is enough for having a smooth android based device and for me that's a border where you need to think you need spend money on phone that won't be big change anyways or pc, console that will make real difference in gaming.

galaxy s2 is now like a midrange phone old gpu but still awesome

Try running these games on DorimanX Kernel with CPU and GPU OCed. Should stutter less:good: (I dont play too much games myself but from experience DorimanX kernel + OC = Best performance SII and ever provide)

so after reading a couple of posts i guess it all comes down to rom level. I myself personally have not had any good gaming performance on slimbean roms or either it doesn't work at all.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

I haven't played the games you listed, but a week back I did install Injustice: Gods Among Us.
And I have not seen a single hiccup at all.
I'm running Stock 4.1.2, unrooted so obviously not overclocked either.
I'd say this is still a hell of a device..

Hi guys,
The king has not fallen yet.
Have you heared about PurePerformances X MOD? It does increase the phone performance without OC , someone told me he can play dead trigger 2 at max setting (playable)with this mod:good:,note:its flashable via CWM so flash this recovery first and the MOD.
Hope this helps

real racing 3

hi every one just wanna know how run eal racing 3 on your galaxy tab 3 10.1?
I test this game on my tab but frame rate is low and laggy

First of all , this thread must be posted in the Tab 3 Q&Ans forum . And for the answer to your question - there should be no lag on tab 3 bcoz my tab can support as big games as gangstar vegas and modern combat 4 without no lag at all . Download greenify , and hibernate all the apps , and open build.prop and edit phone model to GT-I9505 . There will be.no lag at all . Trust me .

Yeah u r right . It is not customized for intel cpu . If tab 3 would have a cortex cpu or qualcomm cpu , everything would have been awesome . Development of roms and kernels would also have been very easy . Though now , I hope that kitkat will arrive soon for our tab and every issue will be resolved . And remember the rule of xda , instead of making a thanks post , we must press the thanks button .

it's not about ram because samsung use swap ram in tab 3 10.1 300swap+1000 =1300 so problem here just optimizing you can play modern combat 4 whit full graphic without any problem or n.o.v.a 3 or asphalt 8 because gameloft optimized thair's games for intel cpu
but even games that need low spec some time laggy on this device

Your argument is INVALID, sir
Tab 3 8.0 have 1,5GB RAM = True
Tab 3 10.1 have 1GB RAM = True
Tab 3 8.0 perform better than Tab 3 10.1 = False (sorry)
A 32Bit CPU is faster even than Exynos 4412 aka Exynos Quad
The BIGGEST problem is the bad optimization of apps for the Intel Proccessor, that's why the Tab 3 10.1 lags in many games where Tab 3 8.0 don't lag at all because of its Quad Core GPU i.e Mali-400PM4
I have been a Tab 3 10.1 user, and honestly it's just a GREAT tab. Didn't regret anything about it.

[Q] galaxy note 4 snapdragon gaming performance not that good?

I am considering buying the note 4 snapdragon version.. I currently have the s6... but I have seen some videos and the heavy games seem to lag: modern combat 5 and real racing for example.... Have updates solve this problem or performance is not that great on the snapdragon note 4?

Doesn't the S6 come out on April 10th?Also Exynos and Snapdragon are both good...maybe the Exynos has somewhat higher frames and if you are about that then go with the Exynos variant.

lol i meant s5 sorry lol

Hi, I have the Note 4 910F, the snapdragon version, and Real Racing 3 runs perfectly on it. No lag, no overheat. The Exynos version has more temperature range between start and máximum performance where at this point is higher than the snapdragon versión.
For the rest there's no differences you could appreciate.

Really? Your W8 that bad?
Should run great. Have run that game and other high demand games on both stock and rooted/rom'd.
TW is brutal, yes but on this beast it's actually "manageable" and runs everything just fine. Maybe it's something else in background holding yours back?
Currently still using my Note 4 as my daily but may switch back to my Nexus 6 now that LP 5.1 has been pushed out.

i have 910G with snap.. I played games and benchmarks . I don't see any heat on it.
if some one have heat wipe his phone

Not that good?? Lol have a look at the score I got on Antutu for 3D Graphics. The Exynos Version can't touch that ;D. So for gaming get the snapdragon Version.
And for CPU stuff get the Exynos Version.

I am using the n910w8 and I do not experience any lag while gaming.

n910f no lag wile playing real racing 3 but the game has bad grafic no antilaizing

does that mean all videos on youtube are fake? cuz the heavy games really lag on the snapdragon version

On mine 910F, stock 5.0.1 (Snapdragon), not rooted, Real Racing 3 and also many games lags terribly. Tried factory reset, won´t help...but for example Subway Surfer runs great even for a long time...don´t know what´s the problem.
