Ram Hack or Graphics

I think it's time for the people to decide and make it easier for the devs. Do the majority want the ram hack or are there more gamers ^^

No ram hack. I want an great overall device.

should be in general section

Can't stand having an game lag, makes my device feel worthless

Well when I thought there were no such thing as stupid questions, you changed my mind lol.

i thought about that. but i think it's quite useful for the devs if the community decides to rather want non ramhack than with or the other way around. if im wrong a mod can move that. ^^

I like the fact I've got my g1 with 50mb of free memory available but it does get boring when I can't play games like Radiant, I posted earlier asking if their could be a toggle between the two, but it looks like a pain.

I have a pc, an xbox 360, a wii, nintendo dsi and a laptop.
I also have Snesoid, Gensoid & gameboid on my phone.
Who gives a crap about blocky choppy finished in 10 minuted 3d games on there phone?
Give me speed and fluidity over playing second rate 3d games on my G1 any day. If you really wanted a device to play pretty 3d games go buy an iphone or something as it does it so much better than android.
I also bet all the above most the users wanting to play 3d games are under the age of 18!

No Ram Hack. IMO, running a swap bigger than 32MB will not flush your apps out of memory.

Yeah if there was a rom where we could toggle through the ram hack it'd be useful. An app like SetCPU.

im almost 19 xD
and btw there are some ppl who want to kill time during work or train or whatever. also the kill of gpu memory doesnt only affect the games. apps like the new music player of felipe abrantes(?) need some gpu power for his cube to switch through the album covers. i suppose launcher2.apk would also rum smoother without ram hack (i know that is only for eclair and we have no drivers there )

App idea
@ Devs
Is it not possible to make an app that has the RamHack and NonRamHack boot.img. Then it pushes the appropriate one when you select it and reboots.
Just a thought.

this is a nice example of how mature people can talk stupid
I am 34 and still want to play 3D games for Phones I also have othergaming gears but they are just different devices.
NO RAM HACK coz it makes no BIG difference, only makes the device unstable.
Thanks for the poll anyway

Don't be a troll =U It's not 3D games I want to play, it's games like radiant and shootu. They keep me company when I want to procrastinate =) btw silly I'm 22

Dude it doesn't really matter anyways. In the end the option to do the 10mb Ram Hack is the decision of the Cook.
Both having and not having the 10mb both have their benefits and their let downs. That's why a lot of cooks are starting to make ROM's with and without the hack.
So basically, in 4 words, this thread is pointless. There are gunna be people that like the Ram Hack and there are people that don't.
Sorry if I come off rude, it's my nature even though I don't want to be.

No, you actually put it politely in my view =). This is a good point, as most devs are putting up non-ram hacks for their roms and kernels.

I agree with what this guy said^^. Well done. Bravo. Cheers. Round of applause, and Amen
So you people wanna play games huh? You gotta be kidding me. Games over speed? Never. Do yourself a favor and un-root yourself.

Well, I'm developping an opengl application that suffers from the 10mb hack : things are really slow with it.
However, the overall phone is far much responsive with this 10mb hack.
So if there was a way to easily de/activate it, that would be really great. But I assume that's hard to do (if ever possible) because as of now, nobody did it.
But then I had another idea : would it be possible to keep, say, 2Mb in gpu0 (or gpu1, can't remember where this hack takes memory) instead of freeing it all ? This way, there would still be 2mb for textures (which should be large enough for many 3d apps), giving us the best of both worlds.
I don't really know if this is possible (I need to install a linux+toolchain to compile the kernel, but not enough spare time for now), but that might be an interesting thing to test.
Oh, almost forgot : if anybody decides to give it a try, I'd like to call it "the 8mb ram hack"

There are so many games on the Market that you can play that are fun, classic, and entertaining that do not heavily require the GPU
Few Examples:
Bonsai Blast
Space War
PacMan
ProjectINF
Light Racer
So It's not like its really all that bad having the 10mb Ram Hack. Its such a minute sacrifice. Besides there are a lot more 2d games then 3d so yeah....You really aren't sacrificing much.

Ramhack is no longer necessary as Roms are so frickin fast... I have a class 6 sd swap. thats fast enough for me!
Plus I'm addicted to speedX3d

What Is Your Favorite 3D Game?

Hi guys, post your favorite games here.
Mine is Raging Thunder 2 at the moment.
I'm going to be reviewing some apps and games today so post what you want to see!

ashpalt 5 is very good game

Easily...
Homerun Battle 3D
I love that game. Best part of all baseball games is the homerun derby & thats all this game is. Awesome graphics & easy gameplay with lots of customization. Best part is you can play online against people all over the world, add your friends & play them anytime & you can battle iphone users also

asphalt 5

I hope they work on it... heard it has just been ported from iPhone, so it needs some serious tweaking for N1...

Definately Asphalt 5 version 3.0.8
Running smooth in Nexus One CM 5.0.5.3 with OCed - UVed: -1.113Ghz - 8MB extra ram + Neon Simb.
If you facing a strong lagging, that is due to version 3.0.7, version 3.0.8 fixed a lot and perform much much more better than previous version.

i have 3.0.8 installed and it still lags hell in certain turns and with heavy traffic.
i am not ready to install a kernel with >1Ghz etc.
Very honestly the devs should get the app optimized for Nexus One.
It isn't enough to port a game from one phone (iPhone) to another (Nexus) without platform-specific tweaks and optimizations --- it may be good enough for those that like to push their CPU to the limits, but it's just not working for those with stock phones.
Raging Thunder 2 works smooth enough - so Asphalt 5 could do too, if the devs just wanted it to...

besides... Asphalt 5 is 6.99 US$... a lot of money for a game that currently requires your processor to run over 1Ghz, and RAM tweaks...
that's just a deal-breaker.
I keep it installed and wait patiently for the devs to provide an update

I completely agree. The Devs even admitted this issue and yet there latest release 3.0.8 is barely what I would call a fix. My wife has an iPhone and it definitely is awesome on that. Unfortunately the N1 has different hardware. Just another way for devs to make a cheap buck.

exzeus is a nice 3D game

I agree Asphalt 5 still need some tweaking, as it still running smoother in Motorola Milestone than Nexus One.
And come on please don't compared with iPhone, iPhone only 320 resolution but Nexus One is 800 resolution. Nexus One is nearly twice the resolution of iPhone.

HRB 3d is the best

+1 for homerun battle 3d.. i'm kinda addicted to that game. if you check their site, their releasing a 3d rpg which should be sick.

we are not comparing N1 with iPhone --- we are pointing out that the game was simply ported and not tweaked with N1 in mind - i call that lazy programming!
what good is it if N1 has 800 resolution, and iPhone only 320 if the same game runs crappy on the first, and great on the second?
N1 is awesome - the programmers have to do their job properly - especially since they charge 6.99$ for it. period

From what I understand the Motorola Milestone has a dedicated GPU to handle graphics whereas the Nexus One has not, so even if the Snapdragon is faster than the Droid/Milestone's CPU, as far as 3D graphics are concerned the N1 will never do as good as a Milestone.
The game could be "tweaked" to lower the graphic details though, I don't see the point of releasing a game that only one phone on the market will run decently :-/

[Q] 3D games that work well on Gtablet

So, my gtablet has been all hacked and custom firmwared for well.... what day did it launch? heh...
What i am really looking for is a list of 3d games that people know to scale "well" on the gtablet...
So far i have seen most 3d android games are designed for a phone, it is almost like they need to fork the android market... or atleast include in a tablet comptable option...
So if we could get a good list of confirmed 3d games that work well on the gtablet, i would be forever... well ok 15 mins grateful.
(This MAY or MAY NOT be because i am doing some research of how to do a game RIGHT on a tablet..... heh.)

Dungeon Defenders works well. There are some overlaps in the menu system due to screen size scaling, but that's being picky. It's a pretty fun game.

the 3d version of labyrinth works great on my gtab.

Rocket Bunnies works great

Turbo fly 3d works, minus the g sensor. Other than that its nice and smooth.
Also, pretty much all the polarbit apps work. Like Reckless Racing, Raging Thunder..........

S4 optimized games for ONE X

Since, i find all over the internet all HTC One X games optimized for Tegra 3, there is no such thing as for our S4 Chipset.
If you guys find any list it here, maybe we can continue this thread as a list of S4 optimized games for ONE X.
List of HD games that are working, not s4 exclusive though, shows off some graphical power of your HOX
Shine Runner
Riptide
Fruit Ninja PiB
Inertia: Escape Velocity HD
Samurai Vengeance II
Cordy
Sleepy Jack
NBA Jam
Sega Virtua Tennis
Shadowgun
Cut the Rope HD
Where is my water

I suppose the obvious title would be Shadowgun, which does look downright impressive on even with the non-Tegra 3 version, but here are a few other games I've been playing a bit on my One X:
Inertia: Escape Velocity HD Really awesome platformer, looks good and plays great on the One X. My only complaint is that even after paying $3.99 for the "full" HD version, there are still level packs to buy in the game! Lame! Still, a very awesome game and there is also a free/"lite" version if you don't want to shell out a few bucks for the so called "full" version.
Samurai Vengeance II This game is a bit older, but I'm just finally getting around to playing it. There is a THD version for Tegra2 devices, but the "standard" version looks awesome on the One X. I really don't see how a Tegra version could look any better. Pretty fun gameplay too.
Cordy Looks and runs great on the One X. Performance wasn't quite there when I tried playing on my Captivate, but it's a lot of fun on the One X with the really fluid performance.
Sleepy Jack From the same developers as Cordy. A shooter-on-rails of sorts.
I really am impressed with the quality of the gaming experience on mobile phones these days. Just a few years ago, I never would have imagined we'd be playing such awesome, and relatively sophisticated, games and yet here we are - the hardware capabilities are just growing exponentially.

Haven't had any problems with Sega Virtua Tennis and NBA Jam.

Thanks all. Added to the list of games working. Cordy is beautiful btw

Totally lagging!
Hey guys, my AT&T One X seems to lag quite a bit during games. Does this happen to you?
In Cordy, it will drop a few frames, making the movement barely fluid.
In Temple Run, it will often freeze, in game, to where I lose!
In Osmos, It will drop frames badly!
What is the deal here! Antutu and quadrant show this phone kicking arse. But I have NOT been impressed with the crappy Adreno GPU!
Does any one else know what I am talking about? Does this just have to do with optimization?
MX player won't work in HW rendering at all! Software rendering is sooo slow and buggy! What is happening????

if you are not playing a MP4 file, MX player obviously cannot enter HW acceleration....
talking about the adreno...it actually served me well...720p mkv with .ass subtile runs just fine in MX player, and for games like shadowgun and NFS hot persuit it has performed flawlessly....I'm running a rogers device, so I don't know what AT&T did to their phones.

At&t didn't do anything besides add bloat that is easily disabled. My phone runs great with every game you mentioned. There was a point in which my main homescreen page was so choppy it was unbearable. I removed the weather widget, rebooted and noticed there was a gallery icon that was somehow hidden behind the weather widget. Removed it, re added the widget, everything is peachy keen again.

NFS and RF2013 aren't compatible with TF700. Also I tried to install the games, but NFS is too slow and RF2013 doesn't start. Same thing for Asphalt 7. For now we can't play this games

I can confirm that NFSMW runs at half the speed. It's ridiculous. And as the game isn't even officialy supported for the TF700 just like almost every EA games, there will probably never be an update.
On my One X (also with a Tegra 3), the speed is correct bu the framerate is far from smooth. Either the Tegra 3 is not as powerful as I hoped, or this game really suffers from a lack of optimization. Probably a bit of both.

Inferior games should be in the games forum.

Who is playing this game. I need some SP points in carrer mode. I have login to Orgin and I am looking for some friends: 1adamos

I don't want to sound rude, but I don't understand why people are so surprised that Need for Speed Most Wanted cannot be played on the tf700. It is a very graphic-intensive game that requires a really powerful SoC to play at Full HD resolution, and Tegra 3 simply is outdated. It is like asking why Intel HD 3000 cannot play Crysis 2 at max details level at full HD resolution. No amount of optimization can make up for hardware limitations.
