[Q] Dungeon Defenders lag

anybody able to play Dungeon Defenders flawlessly?
i like the game but it gets really laggy on my nexus s when theres enemies on the map. im thinking that this game requires a lot of ram which the nexus s does not have a lot. before i start the game i check my available ram. it varies from 120-150 each time i check. i have CM7 RC1 loaded on my phone with netacrhy 1.2.4 cfs.
anybody have the same problems?

Have you tried using a bfs kernel? I remember on the HTC desire, cfs always lagged more than bfs kernels, not 100% sure but just a thought.

or even overclock. use SetCPU to overclock since you're already using 1.2.4

thanks for the quick reply guys!
i tried over clocking my phone but its still laggy. im gonna try bfs now see if that fixes the lag problems.

well, bfs didnt work as expected. its just about the same as the cfs. still experiencing lag. did you guys have the same problems?

I am able to play dungeon defenders flawlessly. I'm using cm7 and 1.2.2 bfs netarchy kernel without overclocking. I have yet to experience any lag and play frequently.

i know some are going to flame me but...
do you use any task killers? i do, and it helps to keep my phone running smoothly. i rather decide when ram memory needs to be freed rather then let android decide. before playing dungeon defenders, i usually kill all the background apps first.

weird, no Task killers here and dungeon defenders runs flawless

Damn. I have a task killer but I still lag. Maybe I just have to do a wipe. See if that helps.

update: i restored my phone to factory default. 2.3.2 and dungeon defender plays better now. ill try to see what the cause of the lag was when i was on cm7-netarchy124cfs

I'm was using nightlies but just today I switched to rc1 and it works great just like before.

runing legles here.though it was after reboot and only 94MB in usage.
make sure you have enough MB's free.
and dont use task killer!!
gingerbread already has one build-in.well..sorta

reflashing made everything smoother.

RAM doesn't mean everything.
Its like, so many people think that having 24 GB of ram in your computer is the s***. The desire hd has 768 mb of ram, but that doesn't make it faster

[MOD] Graphics Performance BOOOST

Hey,
So i was running quadrant on my friends phone the other day (Xpera X10 ,adreno 200 GPU ).So you all know the planet test right . Our device
scores like 10fps .The xperia x10 was doing like 45 fps .
So now the fix is here.
Go to /system/lib/egl
There you will find a file called libGlES_android.so.
Just move that file from that folder to another place.
Best thing is to create a backup folder inside that place.
Now run the quadrant test you should see much higher fps in the last 2 tests.
1-2 fps increase is there in the first 2 tests
Explanation
It turns out the quadrant standard was using a feature of OpenGL which was not properly supported or implmented in the PowerVR drivers
So it was using software rendering(i.e the CPU instead of the GPU).
Have fun
It can work for other games maybe i dont know.
If you any of you find that it affects other Games post here i will update the list
List of Affected Games/Benchmarks
1>Quadrant - Planets/DNA Test
2>Roboto Game.
3>sygic
4> Raging Thunder
5> Asphalt 6 adrenaline
7>NOVA
9>Fruit Ninja
and Many more
People are seeing an increase in performance in 3d Apps in general
Thanks and Regards,
Gana

Awesome! I was thinking along the exact same lines, but I thought that it was a fsp capping limit, since the fps was very consistent in some of the tests! Good to know that it is not a device-wide limitation and that it is just software rendering instead of hardware rendering. I know a 1-2 fps increase seems insignificant, but that starts me thinking about what other limitations may have been placed, or improper instructions used.
Will try it out and see what happens!
Thanks again!

lol i get 60 fps now.testing several times for best score will post soon.
well no score improvement still getting 2450 max witch is confusing since number of fps in 6 times higher.

will try this asap

Awesome!!! I did this and my phone is getting a lot more of fsp in Quadrant.
I will test some games...
Thanks!!!

So far I juz testing with Fruit slice but its not working..

really great fix! thanks dude , and i confirm graphic boost in games as well, i had this game called Roboto, before it used to lag alot but now runs really smooth!

Quadrant fps increased, but score does not. Fruit Ninja works fine and so is Raging Thunder 2. Texture is fine in planet run, used to have clipping issue.

Thanks for this trick.
I hope any dev also overclocking our GPu as Sgs gpu.
I am just thinking samsung just launched this phone to fulfill gap of this price range without make any efforts to make it near perfect.
Edit: atutu 3d fps not changed.

[Q] Modern Combat 2

I have heard many people in this forum mention that they are playing Modern Combat 2 on their infuse but when i try to install it it says my device isnt compatible. I purchased it from the market and have tried running it on CM7 and MIUI. Can someone who has been able to play it on their infuse please tell if there is something i need to do to get this thing to run?
Thanks in advance!

Do you have your ro.sf.lcd_density set to any value other than 240 in your build.prop file?

On MIUI and CM7 Modern Combat 2 does not work. Try GSInfuse that is far better. I used to think that MIUI and CM7 were good but to tell the truth they lag a LOT and are secretly unstable. Modern Combat 2 nor any Gameloft game will work if u have MIUI or CM7. And even if they do...it will lag a lot. My fps on MIUI when rendering complex opengl scenes such as the ones in MC2 is at max 30. On any other ROM im always maxed out at 57 and never go below 40. That goes to say...for a gamer...stay away from MIUI and CM7 for now. Lag is something i cant stand but MIUI was my favourite ROM. I want it again but with the normal android features and its awesome theming. Thats really all its good at. Theming

I'm using the j2 leak and it works fine. Also used infused 2.2.3

have you tried putting your phone into airplane mode and then activiting wifi and then DL'ing and installing the game that way? I did and it worked from me. Ive got both modern combats. both N.O.V.A's, Burnout 6, splinter cell, hawx, rainbow 6, BIA 2, need for speed shift, and GT racer, spiderman, and dungeon hunter and dungeon defender. All work perfectly on the inuse (infused 2.2.3).
And if you download chainfire 3D and the plugins you can even get both Deadspace 1 and 2 work! this Phone can kick some ass when it comes to gaming

Not true. I am running the latest version of MIUI and I have several gameloft games that play excellent. Modern combat 2, backstab, shadow guardian, splinter cell, and others. Absolutely no lag.

After downloading NOVA 2 tells me the phone is not comparable, how did you get around this?
Change the build.prop phone ID?

DownLoading sorry just get lazy sometimes

Games smoother but stuttering under ICS

ROM : Stock nordic ICS
Kernel : ardadat 4.1
Others : CPU Master Free : 1.32 GHz @ interactive/sio (sample rate 30000/maxspeedload 80)
Most games run much smoother (like 60 FPS as opposed to 30 FPS on GB, are they vsynced as on pc/consoles ?) but have random stuttering (complete pause for 1-2 seconds then resume). Most noticeably on games like the Temple Runs. Any fix ?

It's weird, because the first game i played on ics was NOVA 3 and it runs flawlessly. But i recently bought "Granny Smith" and i have the same problems as you (i thought it was the game).
Is there any program i can run to record the processes on background? (how they catch the cpu). Maybe we can get what is causing the problem that way.

If you are asking about about CPU Governors, check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856256

I found a solution for me, PvsZ stops and go each 10 seconds, now everything is ok . We use to configure SetCpu with "sio" scheduler but when I change it to "noop" the stuttering disappears. For me doesn't matter what governor you use, only, scheduler affect to it. Try it. I'm using Ardatdat beta4.

Fps drop games after few seconds

I have noticed (since today this is happening to my device) when i start up a game, it runs very smooth. But after a while it begins to stutter and it is just not playable anymore.
I play real racing 3, i have seen videos on youtube where they are playing this game on ultra high quality and it runs smooth, but on my nexus 5 it is laggy and not fun to play.
What can cause this problem? This never happened before till today.

It might just be thermal throttling. Let the phone cool down a bit and try again later.

Thank you for your reply, i will try again tomorrow then. But i hace a feeling thay it will comeback because my nexus gets a little hot while playing heavy games

Wrap it in a shirt, throw it in the freezer. Try to get it to like 20 degrees Celsius (use CPU z app to check temp) then play the game. If it still lags, then you can confirm its not thermal throttling.

Hi,
You have a quadcore phone running at 2,26 Ghz (ok, not all the time but...), enclosed and without a cooling system, so when you play an heavy game "for a while" expect some heat then thermal throttling... (the CPU freq decreases according to the CPU/battery temp, maybe the GPU freq too but I'm not sure about that) so you can have at a certain point some FPS drops... Nothing more. And in a game it's not only the GPU that plays its role but also the CPU.
If you don't want to root (at least unlocked) there is nothing to do (like decrease the max CPU freq to limit the thermal throttling, undervolt, or tweak the thermal management), maybe trying to play less longer? Have you some "huge" apps running in background? You don't play while charging your phone?

Thank you for your reply! Before all this i could play deadzone 'shadowgun' for like 1hr without any problems.
Now i cant play any high quality games for 5 minutes because after the 5 min it starts running laggy. That is what i found strange
Its very sad because i see videos on youtube where they play on hughest graphics with real racing 3 and other high end games. And mine cant even run smooth for 5 mins.
All other things besides the gaming runs smooth

I havent done anything between then and now (maybe installing some apps but thats it) my room temperature is normal. 21C - 18C i live in a cold country haha.
Sorry i forgot that question with apps in the backround.
I never have any apps running in the backround, i always use task manager and i always close the recent apps.

How did you measure the FPS drop? Does your game have really some lags?
In any case I don't know a single game with a solid and constant FPS..., for me nothing wrong with your phone, try a factory reset to see...

Nope, or at least it could confirm thermal throttling that's all, full stock you should score about 28 000-30 000...

Also you should be mindful of the heat coming from your phone. You say you can play games for hours in the past. I know after 1 level of dead trigger can have my phone @ 105 degrees easy. I can't imagine playing for a hour straight with ultra settings. Heat is the biggest enemy to your CPU and Battery.
