Games running slow

hi there, i have a rooted Samsung Galaxy 3 as most of you too.
here's the thing, i've rooted my phone, installed 3d chainfire and updated all of my drivers (of chainfire that is) installed setcpu and set it on perfromance base on 1300MHz. after that i thought to myself well a everything is done i can start downloading games now, i first downloaded PES 2011 and felt really excited when it booted and expected some good gaming and fun when traveling but when i started the game it was just horrid...the game is running approximately at 20% of it's usual game speed which kills it off entirely it feels like i'm playing the game with VSync enabled all the time.
So i was hoping if i could get some feedback from you guys to inform me what i did/am doing wrong or to give your impressions on the way things are shaping up for you.
thx in advance.

Hi
Did you tried different configurations specific to the game?
Did you installed plugins?
well, different games needs different configurations and each of them works good with a specific plugin.
Here is some examples:
For Nfs Shift you only need to select "Reduce texture quality and Qualcomm plugin.
For Modern Combat: Sandstorm you have to select both "Reduce texture quality" and "Reduce texture size" and choose Qualcomm plugin.
So the best way to play a lag free game is to try different settings.
Good Luck

trust me i've installed the plugins and have all 3 updated to the newest version i have tested all possible configurations and plugins even reducing texture and size settings still i can't get the game to run at more then 20-30% of it's potential...it's kinda sad as i saw that many of you are playing games smoothly on the SG3

Try using on of g3mod OC bus kernels.

em, could you please provide a link (with possible explanations) as i'm kinda new to this stuff, i got my SG3 a few months back and never had an android before.

this topic Must be very useful to you:
[How to]Play "HD" games on SG3 (NOVA, Shift, Asphalt5, AC, PES11 and more!)

PES 2011 working slow on every G3. You can't do anything with that but games like Nova, Nfs Shift and many others working great. You can try Psx emulator also, Fpse is the best I think and then you can play with psx games like Tekken 3, Gran Turismo, Civilization or Mortal Kombat.

So, overclocked processor even to 1300 Mhz doesn't provide performance in 3D games. (Neocore benchmark @ 667 Mhz - 13 FPS, Neocore benchmark @ 1200 Mhz - 14 FPS). Practically zero growth in performance of 3D.
Fpse emulator? The same situation. gran Turismo (time trial, only Your car on the track - 30-42 FPS - playable) Gran turismo (race, 6 cars - slow, not playable)
I5800 is not for games and emulation.

well, G3 is not good for 3D games, that's just how it is. There are awesome 2d games for android though. Refraction, rope cut, mx mayhem-a bit slow but fun and playable, angry birds all run fine. believe me if you had high end 3d games on g3 they would become boring in a week. better to just stick to your pc or console for real games

Thinking of buying L7, few questions

1. Does default launcher shows missed calls and sms notification bubbles on the messages/calls app icons themself?
2. Does the phone has notification led?
3. How is the gaming performance? Can you run GTA 3, Max Payne, Modern Combat 4 and other heavy games so they would be playable with a solid FPS?
4. How is the general and web performance?
5. Have any of you expierience working with Sony Xperia J? How does it compare by performance (general and web) to LG L7?
Thank you

1) Yes
2) No
3) With stock firmware,even Temple Run 2 sometimes stutters if you have too many apps installed. With cyanogen everything is a bit better. Anyways,if you want to play heavy games i think you should buy something else.
4) To me it seems pretty good,but this is my only android phone so i'm happy with it. I use it mostly for sms/calls/web/music and i've had only some problems with whatsapp (i don't know if it's only me). Anything else is almost perfect for my normal use.
5) Sorry but i don't know.

1* Ofcourse YES ..
2* NO
3* The Game PerFormance Is very good comparing to 1GHz .. but if you want MAx Payne go to Galaxy NOTE II .. Max Payne designed for Quad Core .. but you can play PES2012 .. NK13 .. Asphalt 6 .. Need for speed MW and moree
4* After CM10 No lags at all > Iam Using Opera Mini .. SUPER FAST !!
5*MY friend have Xperia J and he wants to change it with mine .. BUT I'll not accept

[Q] I have a problem with my LG G2

I've been using LG G2 D802 international for a month and it is very fast device, no complains except one day I installed flappy birds and It didnt run well, it skipped many frames, but subway surf runs very smooth and also device in normal use is fast as hell .So I did a little test here is my experience: Those games lagged: Flappy bird, jetpack joyride, fruit ninja. Games who ran very good: Need For Speed most wanted, Modern combat 4, subway surf, GTA vice city. How is possible those heavy games runs smoothly but those small games like fruit ninja and flappy bird, lags , I think those games do not support snapdragon 800, I want to ask you about your experience , thank you.

I noticed same problem... I just installed flappy bird and its lagging.
But, I need to say that my whole phone is laggy a little...
When im in viber message and press back it needs 2 sec to return into viber inbox... That is realy slow for top smartphone...

i dnt knw abt flappy bird but fruit ninja does lag only in the staring point not always...i hav the same problem in my note 2 and a chinese tablet...

I think that problem is because flappy is in 2D and G2 wont run his power on that game...

Upon a few more min of research quite a few people are saying that a few games such as flappy birds aint quite compatible with the snpdrgn proccesser. Other games are compltey. Commpat and run great dont hold me to it but that might be worth more of a look in that direction

After some research i found that the lag is due to lg hotplug idk why but after installing dorimanx kernel and changing hotplug removes lag. Something wrong with lg hotplug

So have you managed to max out your G3

I have been playing allot of games on my G3 and maxing the graphics settings to the max. I have had no frame rate issues on ultra setting with the most demanding games on the play store. Just for info, I play Dead Trigger 2, Riptide GP 2, Shadowgun, and other high end 3D games. I also play psp games upscaled to native resolution and most games play at full speed. Even God Of War. That is awesome.
I have yet to see the snapdragon 801 get bottlenecked by the 2k display playing even the highest level 3D games. Also the soc rarely throttles and I notice that the cpu cores do not all get utilized which tells me the 801 is more than adequate.
How about you guys? You can talk about anything. The thread is not centered around gaming. Thats just the most demanding thing I do on my phone. ?
T-Mobile LG G3 here [emoji41]

I've noticed heavy throttling when I play games while the device is charging, which is understandable because the battery get quite hot while it charges.

Yeah when i play demanding games like dead trigger, after 10 minutes the cpu throttles to 1.5ghz max. That is only while charging. But no lag happens still. Besides it has to with 2 amps of current flowing in.

Can you tell me your settings for your psp emulator, which emulator and which version of the emulator you're using? I'm trying to play GOW GOS but its either dark or lag.

My phone throttle while web browsing sites as xda ... No other apps running.

GTA San Andreas chokes it a bit... but I haven't seen a phone able to run this maxed out, it's terribly optimised.

Gaming slowness

Hey there,
So i tried to play some games like NFS No Limits, The Sims Mobile, SimsCity Buildit etc. And i wanna ask, the games dont have any fps drops, but they are like slow, 30 fps on NFS, i think its the same for the other games.
I'm running s7 edge, 935F, Exynos ofc.
Thanks for replies.
