My phone always seemed to run about every game I threw at it flawlessly till I went to kk4. I'm on my third kk4 rom now and while everything seems lightning quick otherwise, my games seem to stutter quite a bit. I was just trying mc2 and every minute or so the game would stutter and go into the pause menu. Madden 12 is unplayable. Just picked up trial x2 and the first one ran flawlessly on my old froyo roms but again stuttering issues. What can I do to improve this? Clear memory before I launch?

So anything 3D intensive seems to run terrible right now. Very frustrating. Any suggestions? Everything will do the sudden hesitation, nothing is really playable right now. Help someone! Suggestions please!

Try ICS.. My games are faster and smooth than kk4 roms.
I wonder if this is drm related and titanium backup based issue. Because it'll run stuff just fine for maybe 20 seconds then it'll just pause, the screen will flash black and then it'll kick back on and run fine for a bit before it does it again.

Are you running a ROM that includes the thunderbolt tweaks or that has modified the LMK?
I'm currently running stocky 2.2.3 voodoo lag fix enabled, no other modifications

You might want to check that you don't have any scripts hanging around in your init.d folder. Also, check the options for that kernel in CWM. I belive it changes your I/O scheduler and your Governor.
OK stupid question time where is the init.d folder and what do I look for when I get there and wouldn't flashing a new rom clear that anyway?

Not a stupid question at all. Some ROMs are no wipe and don't actully reformat certain areas of the system or data partitions.
/etc/init.d <---I would just check to make sure the folder is empty. If you have anything in there, move it to your SDCARD and then reboot.
OK checked the folder its empty and there were no performance tweaks options in the recovery, it's samauri kernal Btw.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I had to go read what was in that kernel as I haven't used that one yet. This is the only part that concerns me:
topiratiko's ORAM+ inspired LMK settings (not exactly the same but similar)
LMK settings can mess with game play if they are set too high. You could try flashing one of the corn kernels or even the stock kernel to see if that improves it for you. I think you would have to convert back to RFS but I'm not sure. I know Corn does support ext4.
If its no better, you could always flash back to Samuri.
Yeah I was on the corn kernel when I was on Saurom, no voodoo but ext formatting options

EXT4 = Voodoo lag fix
Corn also has the Voodoo Color and Voodoo Sound
Yeah I'm aware of that, wonder if it matters or not if I disable the lagfix before I install the corn kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Check the OP post. I think you have to because the first time it boots it defaults to rfs and then you setup ext4 in the CWM

Well I'm on the corn kernal now and sadly nothings changed. I'm using asphalt 6 to test and since it has 3D cars in the menu, the same hesitation happens in the menu.... Hey I just had a thought, could it have to do with having the games on the sd card instead of internal memory?

Delete one of the launchers cause they always run in the background. And use task killer mainly to free up ram space which affects your speed. And dont use too many widgets cause thats alot ram space. And use setcpu set it to 100-1000 ondemand. Hope this helps man

what rom are you on? do you have the icbinb init.d folder? the kh1 fugu tweaks? are you overclocking? are you setting your accounts to update less frequently or manually? have you fixed permissions? deleted unnecessary apps and bloatware?
i went back to frost for a while and it is nothing but speed, especially with the init.d and fugu tweaks. ocing at 1.4 and it is great so far. battery is crazy as well.
You should try changing your launchers too. I realized that my launchers perform differently from ROM to ROM. I'm using ADW and LauncherPro. Also, some launchers have the option of adjusting the opening speed of the menu and the scrolling speed, which gives a better illusion of speed.
As for internet speeds, try switching up your modems.

KB5 is stock. It's out of box.
KB5 > KC1 > KD1 > KF1 > KF2 > KG4 > KG6 > KH1
K means 2011. The second letter represents the month. The number represents the revision number.
Im currently using KF2. if that changes anything.....

For gameplay I haven't found a ROM that beats icbinb, and all the necessary tweaks are already built into it to make it as good as it can be.
However my favorite ROM is unnamed, and with adrenaline shot 14.1 its as close to icbinbs game performance as I've ever seen. And with the sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ kernel from bhundvens original kernel thread, UV/OC at 1.2, its the most stable I've seen. Literally no reboots.

Can it be used in addition to as, or are they pretty much the same?
You don't need both. DSexton wrote both of them. And most tweaks are written to delete or overwrite whatever else is in the folder.
But if you have as, is the phone already overclocked, or do we have to do that ourselves? Would it just be the same thing?
You need tegrak ultimate to oc. The paid version of the app. And it is definitely worth the money to undervolt for battery sake.
Ok so right now I have Valhalla Black Final rom, SMS Kj6 kernel, and Adrenaline shot 14.1 mod. Do you think I should flash a modem? because I don't know what they do.
Different modems are generally said to work better in different parts of the country. Try a different one and see what you think. You can always flash back to KJ6 if you want. And hit thanks.
Alright thanks for the help. For anyone else, I am running Valhalla Black, KJ6 and Adrenaline Shot 14.1, and the phone is running very smooth and is very responsive.
Just flash Val black and call it a day.

Each phone is different, tweaks and such that improves your phone performance may not help the next phone. That is also why the game might be unplayable on your device. Also most newer roms have the various tweaks built in. So installing them twice can end up harming your performance.
I was in the same boat as OP. I used Gremlin Remover, and started from scratch, and now I'm getting decent performance from GTA. Still lags some. But not as bad as used to. Definately playable.
It works just fine for my wife.

Funny, it has been working fine for me. For anyone who doesn't use an app like setCPU and is on the OLD baseband this would be great. This on the NEW bb WITH a screen off profile is even better. It's still not pre-new base band like drain, but I don't wake up with a mostly drained battery. I just looked at faux's release notes and it sounds pretty tailored to the new bb, so I think I will see how his does alone.

Installed this mod.. not sure if it's really working or not.. I ran a sunspider bench which tests rendering speed of the browser and I got a 1450ms speed on CM10.. seems like it's def faster? I'm not sure though.. I want to say I used to get a 1600ish score beforehand.
ROM/Kernel combination?
I am on Paranandroid's Hybrid CM10 based ROM with Imosyen's Lean Kernel. Has someone tried this tweak with this (or any other CM10 LK combo)? Also, does this have any improvement on HDMI/MHL connectivity? If i play vids using MHL, the video kinda flickers and frames overlap.
I asked this in the main thread but figured I'd pop it here as well. I'm on a T999v GS3 (rooted), and the flash file failed in recovery and my phone doesn't have a system directory to manually put the ecg folder in. What do I do next?

I have the same question as WolfePack. Would enabling gpu acceleration in developer settings do just about the same thing?
The guy states...
"On ICS and JB I don't think this tweak is really necessary, GB never had it as an option, I guess that's why it feels more effective on GB roms. It's almost as if it's already rendering for UI with GPU on ICS and JB, correct me if I'm wrong it just seems that way to me. "
"Yeah I noticed that, doesn't make much of a difference on ICS for me. If you can try GB you may see a big difference."
"On ICS I can't really notice a difference, but on GB the difference is very well noticeable."
and
"debug.sf.hw=1 does that, which is very default in most build.prop I think you don't have to mess with egl.cfg if you have debug.sf.hw=1"
and on the SGS3 default is debug.sf.hw=1 already so.....
so.. are you sure your really seeing anything? I think this is bunk for us given the above points.
installed... makes ZERO difference, in feel or scores of bench marks.
but it does install just fine
Well either it's imo's .9 kernel or this mod because I'm getting 14 hours at 48%. Your benchmark scores should be lower. At least the 3d ones. But I'm not sure what the difference is for the option in the dev options
