[I9500] How to turn off VSync? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I just wanna ask how to turn off vsync on I9500? I know i will get artifacts effect thing . i just wanna test on quadrant and more benchmarking apps. I search and got build.prop edit. And it doesnt work. Anybody can help?

Yeah, i'm asking this myself. I have a couple of games (arcade roms) that are synced to a different refresh rate and they stutter a bit. I'm thinking temporarily disabling vsync will make them smooth.
Thank you!
edit: i am on a 4.3 custom rom, with Ktoonez kernel.

Code:
debug.egl.swapinterval=0
This seems to unlock the FPS limit.
I was able to achieve higher FPS in benchmarks after using that.

So, how do i use this line?

You add it to the build.prop.

Thanks man. I'm a bit of a noob, but i'll study the buil.dprop issue. Is there any danger in trying this? Is it safe for the phone?

The worst thing that can happen is the phone going into a bootloop.

Well, that's pretty bad... Thanks!

install No Frills CPU or SetCpu and you can change the default clock settings.

Try Zephyr1988 scripts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710233
The package has loopy smoothness tweak that should fix the lag.

Try reinstalling the ROM with all wipes. I assure you lockscreen has absolutely no lag, even with 300Mhz minimum CPU (will post a video in a while)

As i say, when i move to circle 1-2 second lag is gone but first 2 sec its like 3-4 fps...
Edit: I ask other users too they got this lag too... Maybe its about screen.. My phone has atmel...
It's inherent to the OS. There is nothing you can do.

That's a good point... maybe it's really a problem with AMTEL screens... I have synaptics, and, as you can see in this video, I have absolutely no lag whatsoever :S

Thats hurt Thanks anyway
I have a synaptics touch and I also have lag.
That YouTube video is useless because it's obvious that if you don't have lag with the screen on, it not simply locking the screen that it will get lagged.
As far as I know it's been like this forever and there are several topics discussing this.
If the phone enters deep sleep, sometimes the touch events will lag a lot and it seems to stop detecting multi touch points. Sometimes locking and unlocking seems to avoid that problem.
I have a PIN unlock and this really bugs me but it's been like this forever, so I take it as a consequence of owning budget phones.

Not really, my phones sleeps like a baby, and I never experience any lags... I don't know what the problem is, but I have never noticed it. Also, I use use init.d scripts, and they don't seem to have any adverse effects whatsoever. Don't know how to help, but I'm sure this is not a general problem...

Most simple games and UI lag while heavy games work fine

Hello I have Novathor U8500 device Xperia U with dual core processor and Mali 400 GPU.
Problem is as title says most simple games lag while heavy one are working great.
By doing some tests I found phone can't push more than 58 fps,no matter phone sometimes simply jumps to 90 then below 30 and I can't debug this.
I'm asking is there any way to fix this or cap fps to for ex. 55 fps.
Thanks.

Hmm strange.. Im not an XP user but i have XSOLA.. As i know they share very2 same hardware n spec xcept for the illumination and floating touch.. I've tried several rom like FXP 207,eXperience v2.1,MiUI and more but i dont have that kind of lag.. Usually right after i flashed a new rom i will debloated as much as i can then reboot into CWM and wipe cache and dalvik.. I admit some simple 2D games got a lag but none in UI.. Maybe your CPU governor?
CPU throttling due to temperatures?

Yes it is strange,even my old Xperia X8 is somewhat "smooth" I mean simple actions like scrolling are smooth while on Xperia U are not. :silly:

What ROM do you recommend to me?

Hey, im looking to install a new ROM on my P8 Lite ALE-21. I currently have the stock one. I mainly want to use my phone for social media.
I recommend AOSPA or LOS 13.
Performance is great and batterylive isnt even bad.

You can deactivate 2 cores in the kernel audiator and batterylive wil much improve.

No - it was real. Got extensive help on telegram, cleaned some things - and all is good.
One test is wrong, so Google ufo test works and shows 120.
Oh ok so it really was on 60?
What testing software did you use?
