Everytime i try to play a game the audio seems to stutter and slow down when the game drops below 60 frames. Setting the kernel to performance didnt help, and its present on oxygen os and custom roms, both nougat and oreo.
does anyone have a fix for this?
What game are you playing? If it's a demanding emulator (such as PPSSPP), using the Vulkan API instead of OpenGL is a great help. You should also look for cheats to stabilize the framerate.
Dolphin however, lag and stuttering are to be expected when using OpenGL. Unfortunately, Vulkan is useless on Dolphin at the moment, due to missing almost all textures on screen. The devs over there blame the GPU drivers for being faulty, and they're not too willing to work around the issues.
I don't know what to say about any other games with this issue.
Mine is doing this with Animal Crossing Pocket Camp - not exactly the most demanding game. It also does it with FFXV PE (more noticable when casting). The games are playable but the sound issue is annoying.
I am stock rooted, stock kernel, and the issue is present with or without V4A. It has become more noticable with recent (Oreo) updates.
Other games such as the [email protected] rhythm games, Neko Atsume, and Magikarp Jump don't have any problems.
I can confirm this was fixed in the latest update. The changelog included "Fixed sound instabilities during video playback"

Anyone else tried PSXDroid on their G2?
I tried playing marvel vs capcom, chrono cross, and x=men vs street fighter.
Im using PSX4DROID v 1.3
The sound is super laggy and glitched and games are not running at 100%. However, i have read many comments taht say v1.3 is just a horrible version of the emulator. Anyone else playing and having a good experience?
How does it work?

With sound on, everything is very laggy. but i just saw this video on youtube and his PSX4DROID emulator is running much faster, so i think its the version i have.

Well try the older version... because you know its NOT the phone. The G2 is the most powerful android phone out there, period. Let us know your results... I was thinking about getting it but heard its too buggy for use.
When I first got the G2 I tried out Chrono Cross on psx4droid. It ran very well, although I did have the sound off (not a fan of annoying sounds while playing games on my phone).
But after updating psx4droid from the market yesterday, the emulator runs very poorly. Hopefully the dev undoes whatever he changed so that it will start running well again.

Yeah, it might be the update. From past experience with many emulators, sound off always runs better. The problem is not that the g2 can't handle ps games but it has to emulate them in a player than runs inside android if that makes any sense. In other words native games like nova or heavy gunner which are graphic equivilant to ps games run better because they run pretty much natively. Where ps games are ran inside a emulator coded to run natively in android. I know that explanation is poor but you get the point. The ps emulator is relatively new too compared to the others. But ps games are pushing the limits... have you heard if any N64 emulators that run well or at all yet?
well, either find a better warez source to update to 1.5, or stop being cheap and buy the app from market; sound is crappy, but when it is off ff9 and chrono cross run very smooth

Newest ver on the market is 1.5 (you know that though since you purchased it )
Ran 1.5 today w/ ROMS on class(6) and it was about the same performance I believe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802147
Haven't tested with sound much, but on my G2 with psx4droid 1.1 I've been playing:
FFVII
FF Tactics
Megaman Legends
all with no problems, great playability
I purchased it (support your developers, anusholes), but it does seem laggy and sound is glitchy when I play parappa the rappa. Haven't tried any other games.
I have had extensive experience comparing the galaxy phones to the g2 performance in psx4droid. First of version 1.1 is the fastest. It is also the buggiest. On psx4droid 1.1 the g2 does very playable speeds on all games but really heavy polygonal games like fighters and whatnot. Zodttd released versions 1.3 and 1.4 that were much slower while trying to fix bugs. Now 1.5 is the best balance. Only slightly slower than 1.1 but slow
enough to make a lot of games unenjoyable on the g2 while the galaxy phones are able to keep up. Side by side they are like 30 percent faster than the g2 in psx4droid. Im hoping for root soon so we can overclock.

Thanks, this was very helpful
i'm currently running Tmobile G2 overclocked to 1.45 GHZ using a root module, and unfortunately psx4droid 1.61 is playing horridly aweful =(. This was an upgrade from 1.5, which played phenomenially better than 1.61. In 1.5 if the CPU could not process enough power (logically), the game would be a little slower, however 1.61 has sound that is TOO FAST for ALL games, with slow graphics (wtf)?. So in other words, My sound for the game is INCREDIBLY fast, while the in game graphics are sloooww to a crawl. Is there anyone that's willing to host the psx4droid 1.5 apk for me to obtain? I've bought this emulator expecting only improvement, not drawback =(
What would be the best custom kernel and ROM for playing games smoothly without any lag on nexus 7
And is there an optimization technique to reduce game lag on N7 especially Mc3 and nova 3

The stock rom and kernel is fine. idk how you're seeing lag in these games... I'm playing MC3 fine with 0 stuttering or lag.
No such thing.
Just read and try them like everybody else.

I want to hear from those who got their hands on the phone as soon as it came out. Have you guys noticed any degrading performance over the updates Google has pushed out? Before I updated, my phone ran games like Vice City like a charm. Now, on 4.2.2, it seems like some performance has been lost. It may not matter to some, but the gaming performance means a lot to me. The random frame dips on games just kills the experience. Have any of you noticed a performance hit? Also, has anyone found a way to make games run smoother? I've tried Cyanognemod 10.1 Nightly and AOKP V3, but neither seemed to push out the performance standard Jelly Bean does. Faux123's kernel, after overclocking, didn't seem to help either.
I haven't noticed any difference i still run GTA 3 and vice city on maximum setting smoothly and i havent noticed any drop in frame rates
I have never played GTA on Nexus 4. But I did play Asphalt 7, NFS MW on both 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 Franco Kernel. Feel no difference.
hence, give FrancoKernel a try?
It's all in the governor.
Alright. What governor are you guys using? I'll give Franco's kernel a shot, but I would rather stick with Faux's after paying for his app and learning how to use it. I have it set up for maximum performance, but it just seems the games aren't running the way they should. For example, I notice that Need for Speed Most Wanted tends to have a large frame dip when nearing other vehicles. It's not something immediately noticeable, but I can see that it almost does a slow motion sort of thing at moments. Also, with Vice City; With everything maxed out, it'll run fine with the camera directly behind the car, or when Vince is running. But should I need to maybe make a slight turn or a large one, the frames drop unbearably.
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aatt.fpsm app to check the ingame fps.And btw with gta vc on stock 4.2.2 with franko kernel,i get 25-30 fps.
Hello!
I got my g pad a few days ago and I got it rooted running xposed with greenidy and G2 modules with nova launcher. Antutu scored about 23600 and performence is pretty great excpet for one thing : gaming.
Most if not all Games are laggy, some start laggy and some become Luggy after a few seconds.
What should I do?

GTA San Andreas is laggy on my GPad then I tried to flash custom rom then the game became smooth on max settings
Mine also. i have several that freeze up but work perfect on a custom rom. Rayman jungle run and reckless racing 2 amongst others. kinda sucks as i like the lg rom.
I play asphalt 7 and 8 also real racing 3 and gt racing 2 with no problem at all.
That's true. But If a quad-core snapdragon 600 clocked 1.7ghz and 2gb of RAM can't handle a game smoothly then I think that's the optimization of the app's fault, not the hardware. My San Andreas also lags, at half resolution, medium details and 70% draw distance. That sucks : /. Order and Chaos Online is so laggy that it's taking away any joy from playing, while a LG L9 with 2x1Ghz handles it perfectly...... I think this is unacceptable that a flagship device has such issues

Is it laggy from the start or after a minute of playing? Seems that this tablet gets hot quickly and keeps throttling CPU/GPU
Real boxing lags for me sometimes. Other games like Riptide GP2, Injustice, and Modern Combat 4 all play perfectly though.
Those games are laggy:
BADLAND, Pivvot, Subway Surfers (A little bit), Rayman Jungle Run (Half of the time buttery smooth, other half laggy)
But after further testing I found out:
I also have games that don't lag: Modern Combat 4 (which is very demanding!), Zynga Poker (but a galaxy s wouldn't lag on that one), Lumber Jacked, Reaper.
I guess it's a compability issue, hope I could get better performence on AOSP ROMs (although I heard they have a gaming problem, maybe it will be sorted out soon)
Just installed latest cmb rom, all games are buttery smooth.
I laugh at lag's face now.
Only problem : pivvot doesn't respond to touch. Oh well, probably a 4.4.2 compatibility issue
it plays even intensive games like Asphalt 8: Airborne well, and nothing ever felt overly laggy. But stock KitKat clearly comes with a huge speed boost, and switching from one model to the other for days at a time, I always noticed the difference.

Yeah, Absolutley NO LAG on kitkat. The S600 is truly superior.
Gaming..

Is the S600 another model type of this tab ? Anyhow after a week of using the tablet and reading and using and Romming and ...you get it.I have noticed lags here and there w/ certain games , YouTube etc but Browsing is good. Gaming depends on what game you play Nova 3 lags a little not as smooth as N7 , Nitro Nation is fine lags here and there no biggie, injustice lags some,Dead Trigger 2 is OK doesn't really lag very much but I haven't installed the graphics mod either .Deer hunter stutters a bit,Respawnables, shadowgun super smooth online or off My experience so far.
Well I'm on Malladus 1.2.5, and I have absolutely no lag at all. RR3 runs perfectly smooth during the races (but the graphics seem to be in low settings everywhere, so that shouldn't come as a surprise), Angry Birds Go is equally good, and Asphalt 8 is perfect in high settings. I did have some lags on all of them while I was on stock though.
I also tried CM11, and apart from some games that just wouldn't launch, all of the above ran perfectly.

Could you two me about Malladus 1.2.5? Do all stock features work? Can you do apps to sd sym linking? Will this prevent lg app updates... How is battery life improved
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk
Yes, all stock features work if you flash the LG apps with the Rom. As far as I can tell, it's a custom stock rom, with a bit of optimizations and tweaks.
I don't know about SD sym linking. I'm assuming you're talking about Link2SD ability to create a link with your external SD card, and I can't see why it wouldn't work.
Battery life seems to be a bit better, but it could be a placebo effect.
Good day guys, i just want why Sniper Assassin is not smooth when i'm doing sniper? There's a lag everytime i hit headshot.
I wonder if it is because of nougat? I saw a lot of videos on youtube but its seems fine there is no lag when they hit a headshot. I'm using snapdragon variant which much more power when it comes to gpu. Anyone how to fix this? Anyway my graphics setting is BEST in Sniper Assassin.
