Anyone tried the app GameBooster?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.gamebooster&hl=en_GB
I know that the same changes can be achieved through other (free) means , but i was wondering if anyone tried it?.. i have a friend that swears it works.

Yeah I have it on my phone and I'm using it together with Ram Booster v1.25 (need to test it without the latter to see just how much that contributes). The result is I'm playing NOVA 3 in all it's full HD glory with very little lag. The game does run a 'tad' bit slower in general but because it's uniform throughout the game it just feels like it's the way it's meant to be played.

Really? Wow thats great to hear , i might buy it to see if its really worth it.
Have you tried using autokiller , ram manager or V6 supercharger though?

Looks interesting. Would love to see if there's a free alternative though.

Okay maybe its a placebo effect , but im getting playable framerates when i use it in combination with Ram Manager pro on hard gaming, playing The Amazing Spiderman . AFAIK Gamebooster also does something similar to RMP , but it seems to be less agressive .
I also have supercharger , but i only use it to lock my launcher , nothing else.

Hey Drivenby, been a long and busy day at the studio so haven't had an opportunity to get back to you till now. Haven't used autokiller , ram manager or V6 supercharger, will have a look at them. I am using Chainfire 3D Pro however to increase the graphical quality of some of my games (like NOVA 3), but you probably figured that already.

This all shuts down all the other apps and even prevents the them from trying to boot and regains system memory.
It has its own overcloked setting after ultra gaming mode but I then can normally be change it. I really recommend this app.

Tried it with Metal Slug 3 but got to the same bit as I usually get to before the phone starts lagging like hell (Was In Ultra Mode Aswell)

Yeah it really depends on what type of system you are running . The app does work for some games but its obviously not adding more ram or doing the developers job of optimizing a game for our specific GPU . Some games do seem to work better with Ram Manager Pro on hardgaming , rather than Gameboost.
And ultra doesnt really overclock , it just sets the governor to performance , as far as i can tell. The dev claims it lowers other processes too but i dont know how to check if thats true or not.

on my opinion , gamebooster is better that rambooster and ram manager, it decreased glitch on my phone , now it's easy to play BATMAN

The Governor is set to performance And cru speed changed to 1.2Ghz

I honestly doubt that an app can overclock my stock kernel so easily.
Besides , Rom manager shows 1024 and gover performance. Nothing about 1.2ghz

This app made some games that ran smooth blotchy when I set to hardcore. I have been running v6 for a long time so it may be fighting each other for control. Hard to say. Still thanks for sharing. Sure a lot of people will like this app while others maybe not so much

Yeah about v6, AFAIK it changes the oom kill values, which game booster does too, so there might be some conflict.
On my experience v6 is excellent to increase performance with the Android ui and multitasking, it makes everything really snappy but at a cost.
Let's say you have the regular stock launcher and have 3 o 4 widgets and a billion icons... If you have supercharge your launcher you might make it nearly impossible for the system to kill when needed.
I think that running most games, you should have no problem with this, but with the likes of recent game loft games that are known resource hogs, you really need everything the device has to offer, and while killing the launcher might make your device post game laggy for a couple of seconds, the whole point of the xperia play is to play games and if you can't do that well, it kinda defeats the purpose.
Right now I'm trying to keep the lightest configuration possible, while still getting everything I need and more.
Currently using lightning launcher, because it's fast, simple and runs with as little as 6 mb. Only one widget too. I guess I could try super charging it, but android has never killed it that I noticed, or maybe it just redraws super quickly.
Personally went back to ram manager pro, I think the ultra settings for game booster are not optimal for gaming or something, I swear I'm getting more ram but less performance, which doesn't really makes sense but whatever.
Also it has a couple of bugs that need to be ironed out. I'll check it again when the next version comes out.

Will this work with phone with locked boot loaders but rooted? I really want to know because it said of but I have a stock kernel but I'm rooted.

the tweaks n scripts are already preinstalled in the rom.... the developers or modders who created the rom chose the best scripts n tweaks for our device... n released their roms... .... but just in case to give an external boost(not a boost exactly, its like lowering the games graphics details to play it, like v do it in pc) .... there is an app chainfire 3d... try it... operate it... open it and you will understand what to to..

uhm..... as far as i knw other users also have recommended using chain fire and it does make a difference... it reduces lags n makes few games smoother to play... well there might b similar apps... you can find them in similar apps list frm the market..

Chain fire is best solution for gaming performance :what:

use tgb gaming engine or 99power script by aspee . it does boost performance.

> you'll find the boost your looking for,, read my signature

Without offence to any moder, I never found any performance boost in any tweak/rom...
Flash an up to date kernel which have a good TS driver for gaming(Paolo, Caveman, Ta...)along with your favorite GB rom, then test it in neocore without touch and then touching the screen.
And if you really want some more fps, put your phone in airplane mode and force close/uninstall all apps that run on background...

GTA3

Guys do any of you know why my Desire S Hangs while running GTA3 for like 5 mins while MED settings, and hangs after few seconds on max settings . It looks like something to do with RAM as if its getting full faster or slower, but it would be nice to be able to play it without hangs :laugh:
BTW i am new to this devise and For the monent i am running official MIUI V4 (newest version) with Tweaked3_7.1-MIUI_StockICS KERNEL at 1400OC-smartass v2-bfq (second day with this phone so its my first setup (hit me to the head if its faulty))

No worries, looking at your posts you are progressing very fast
smartassV2 is designed for battery saving so do not rely on it for performance. Set ondemand/deadline and smash that game
Do not cry for the battery though

THX for advise . But at these settings it hangs 2 seconds after spawning in-game on med settings, maybe its something to do with freq. of cpu? What is supposed to be most stable FREQ. OC? I am using 1401Mhz maybe its not stable

Or maybe MIUI with its disabled hardware acceleration is not the best choose for gaming
With the settings I gave you above I have highest FPS in Antutu benchmark

I just tried lowering FREQ it still hangs.....
I dont think that Miui being bad choise for gaming is cousing this, becouse until it hangs game is running smoothly. And HANGS means it stops on that frame and phone is nolonger responsive until i remove battery and start again

Do not pull battery you may end with new bricked DS. Have you undervolted?
EDIT: don't know what version of GTA are you using but it may be the game itself. Look here

Yeah its probably game related so i will try to delete all game data and download it again, this game data is from my old phone's SD card maybe files will be different in some way(anyway we will see).
Thanks for help man :good: + rep for you. And by the way I figure you have a lot more experiance with roms than i do :
What would be build (ROM+kernel) that you would recommend me to try next? I dont need real gaming rom i just sometimes have few extra minutes in work or in college that i need to spend somehow and gaming is a good way. What i would like is overall average perfomance 50%battery -50%perfomance or something similar if possible

how did u do it?Did u use rom toolbox

And this belongs in the development section why?
My recommendation to you is to lower that back. The way it works is that it allows an application to store a maximum of that much memory. Setting it high would force it to garbage collect much later which means more CPU cycles for the app. Bad thing is low RAM and bad multitasking as said by murad. Setting it low would cause it to garbage collect much sooner so better multitasking but worse performance. Overall this doesn't really affect performance that much unless making an app use up the whole of the phone like OP did which is an obviously bad thing.
64 is good and don't change it unless you are just testing.

i dont understand its running better and it was never that fast and i have no more wake uo lag and everythin is loding realy fast ...i chage it from build.prop whit root browser.....and i just try to run 3 smol games in the same time and lissen muzic ...and i didn get lag when i run ups in task manager the ram is use 315 mb.....

Very bad idea to take all the system ram and put it in dalvik heap.. way to much.. 64mb is default, if you take all ram for heap then everything will be preloaded by default. this may result in some faster loading times but the memory is constantly unnecessarily filled. when you have 315mb in use your almost at the limit.. think about it, any app that suddenly requires more ram will lack the ability to get it. And I'm not even mentioning LMK that is also active (so you force your memory to be full and lmk keeps killing apps since its full). This is how i think about it.
edit: just read that you don't use any specific lmk, so i guess that's lmk 20mb or so. still your idea just doesn't work out

Dude...way to big...usually the modders only use 140m max..but still not quite supported for multitasking...anyway not wrong to experiment it....cheers...

[Q] Game problemo

I have been using mmx a110 for over a year and half. In the beginning i used to play gta liberty city and temple run and graphic intensive games on ics stock rom but since i have shifted to 4.2.2 based phoenix rom with bb kernel latest and project mod boost, i am not able to play games like them smoothly and tried to play fifa 14 but it lagged badly.
I have over 1000 apps and games combined and my 32gb card got filled. i thought lack of space was the reason for this lag so i emptied it but no difference. now still i find no difference. all heavy games lag.
suggest plz!!!!!!!!!

Anybody?

might be due to ram
For me it sometimes lag and sometimes runs fantastic. I have no idea about it but experienced it when keeping the ram clear game runs smooth. Brother did you try Saurabh's 1GB Pre-Swap?

I really am getting frustrated with how much my phone is lagging these days.

Hey bro..
Just use such things i say...
1.entropy seeder
2.gltools
3.greenify
4. Maintain governor & shedular of ur kernal specs.
And

Just used entropy seeder and I can tell now for sure that there is a HELL of improvement in performance. Small but heavy games are lagless and only some heavy games hang that to rarely eg. Badland. Fifa 14 worked with only 2 lags that too was minor. But still it doesnt even compare to high-end phones. I think i will just get one of them in a few months... seriously I have had it with local phones.
Thank you guys for helping on this thread. I will press thank for everyone.

ok, this is another prob i am facing: how to install and run asphalt 8? i downloaded the data and apk but when i verify licence, it force closes. FYI placed com.whatever-it-is in obb

For lag free performance and gaming
U should be on rejoice
In performance control app do...
Governer- performance
Sched- cfq
Set on boot in each tab
Now u can play games without lags
Also kernel which u r using is a feature kernel + for casual games
But for heavy games it need improvement

It means that it has failed to verify license .Clear the data of apk and try again with internet connection.
Btw Canvas 2 has a good old chipset MTK6577 but its GPU is PowerVR SGX531 like a granpa in wheelchairs.Its too weak so u cant expect to play asphalt 8 that smooth but u can play with lags.Use GLtools to ;- Disable antianalysing
reduce texture and resolution
Try Mipmode and fake cpu and gpu.But its FCs on some applications.
I can run NFSMW with 1x1 texture very smoothly.So give a shot
ICS is not resource hunger like JB.If KK come maybe v can run those games cuz of ART
Now about swaps;- swaps does not increase the RAM.Its substitute for Paging and Processed Cache of application.It does not increase ur performance by 50 or 75%.I use 256mb of swap and i hardly get 125 of mb filled.So 1GB of swap is useless.Try increasing ur Swapiness
