same question here
adw is almost unusable

I found the same thing pretty much, that's why I've kept with TW for now, and to be honest, this is the only device I can actually cope with Touch Wiz on lol.

Hey guys.. found a solution for now..
Im using launcherpro and i bumped all the opening speeds up to max etc, now theres no lag when opening stuff!

thanks I'll try

think i may of been to quick off the mark.. still some lag on scrolling

Yeah, LP has been the best performing launcher on all my devices to date and i too bump all the speeds to ten but i get lag, ill just twiddle thunbs till ICS

Exactly the same here, Launcher Pro is no match for the stock TW....

The same here GoLauncher EX was too laggy...TW seems to run smoother than others---

I use Go Launcher EX and don't find it lags at all. I did use Titanium backup to stop TouchWiz launcher and its widgets from running.
Also you can download Spare Parts Pro for free and set Windows and Transition Animations to fast, this will speed up all the animations on the phone.

Hey I'm also using GoLauncher and at first there was a little lag but I solved it in this way:
Goto Preferences, Screen settings, Screen Transition Effects, Custom, and set Speed = 25 and Elastic = 55.
I've done that and its very usable, still stutters on drawing a GoWidget but I only have one so it's all good
I'd say increasing the speed would cause more stutter as its trying to redraw faster, so slower is the key.
I can't wait until they fully utilise the gpu as that seems to be causing the issue, either that or the fact that I haven't fully disabled TouchWiz..

hmm, my note should arrive either later this week or early next week. i might try out shell3d to see if it works well with the note.

Try zeam launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings. The smoothest launcher I was able to use on the note.

Chainfire 3D

Ive downloaded the pro version, along with the plugins. No matter which plugin i use, I never notice any different games in the market. NOVA, Modern Combat etc. Are still not showing up. Yes i pressed the 'fix market' button still to no avail. Has anyone gotten this to actually work with their device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

go to default opengl menu and select nvidia as the plugin then go back nand click fix market settings and reboot ur phone then try

I had chainfire3d on my captivate and loved it.
I am having all kinds of trouble getting it to install on my skyrocket tho.
I have tried downloading from the market and from the www page. directly to the phone and transferred from usb.
NO matter what I cant get the pluggins to install. I am root. so doesnt make any sense.
I remember needing to punch some code into terminal emulator with the cappy and i have searched and typed a few different commands into VrE again to NO avail. Getting kinda bummed about it now as its been 24 hours since root..I also installed the 2.3.6 rom on our forums last night.
SR was delivered wednsday with 2.3.5 stock from the Amazon . penny sale.
Anyone kn ow what I am doing wrong?

reinstall your phone and try again. I have it installed on my i727r and it works perfect

Can you side load the app, and use whichever plug in necessary to run properly?

Gonna try that now, still wondering why fix market still wouldnt let them show up. Anyway, will report back

Been browsing all over Google trying to find a list that displays which plugin plays with which game, is there any way to tell?

You google the game and find out which device it was made for. Also many of the gameloft games aren't on the market. Search for shadowgun.

Why are guys even using chain fire? I switched to the skyrocket from a Dell streak 5 with the original snapdragon processor and all my old gameloft games work and most others as well, even shadow gun runs flawlessly from the market with no mods at all. I'm completely stock, not even rooted on 2.3.6

Because we have games that need it.

You should atleast root it so you have CPU controls and app.controls because it saves on battery

Galaxy on Fire 2, Pinball HD, and better versions of Fruit Ninja, Backbreaker, and others. Also, even though it's not a compatibility thing, installing Chainfire 3D made the textures in Riptide GP load at a much higher res.

What are your settings for galaxy on fire 2. Mine crashed to home when loading the campaign

Scratch that i bought fpse instead, its much nicer

be sure to disable dualcore boost, it strangely runs better without it

Another vote for fpse, works very well on the Note
Anyone got metal gear solid working though?

Not tried but i was loving playing die hard trilogy while at work, right trip down.memory lane, not sure my boss would see it that way

Yeah, I also vote for FPSE...
I've used FPSE on several different phones including the Note & I get much higher FPS with no lag.
User interface, options & layout are absolutely fantastic.
I've used PSX4Droid previously and experienced bad lag and poor performance in almost every game.

Just want to lift this up. Fpse for Note is epic!

Nova 3 no effects

Has anyone else noticed a lack of smoke and lighting effects in nova 3? I can turn them on by using chainfire, but gameplay suffers from artifacting, fps drop and other glitches. I'm on the latest skyics if that matters.
I wouldn't mind so much except there is a significant difference in draw distance in multi player which is important if you have a sniper rifle.

With full effects? Can you see the steam off the gun when you fire and the motion blur when you sprint?

I've tried cleaning off the entire phone, sd cards and all and reflashing skyics, I still wasn't able to get full graphics without installing chainfire drivers, and I still get shader errors, specifically this one:
"indexing into an attribute using a non-constant expression is not permitted"
any ideas?

Mine runs perfect.

I've heard this from several people now, and it seems hard to believe that I'm the only one with this problem. Are you sure it's running with full effects? One of the things I noticed is that the full effects version always has a darker earth in the menu. Has this been your case?
I just want to make sure, because I've tried fresh installs of skyics, stock ucld2, and embryo with and without chainfire and am still having the same problem (no full effects in nova w/o chainfire, but shader errors with it installed)

Ya my nova 3 runs at like 10 fps never buying from Gameloft again all there games run perfectly on iOS and then they make them ****ty for android

see thats weird. I've never had fps that bad, without all the higher grade effects the game plays fine, high fps. There is a bit of a drop in fps with chainfire, but its mostly the shader errors that are the problem. I just don't understand why performance is so inconsistent for users of the same device. You would think all skyrocket users would have the same problem.

Help with DPI changing.

Hiya peeps, have some questions about changing the dpi on my transformer. Have been looking to download a good racing game eg, real racer2/3 gt racing ect but having no luck (not compatible). After doing some research i got to the conclusion that the compatability issue is down to dpi, right?. Well heres the next question, i have managed to get a download which appears to work up untill the screen res changes (i think) so would manualy changing the sreen dpi with a third party app allow it to run?. And finaly can anything go wrong using apps to change the dpi regularly?. Any help you can offer would be great TIA.

Im using cm10.1 on Brazil and it works great. Try to download an app called "lucky patcher" and patch your play store to be compatible with all apps.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app

Hi, back again. Have managed to get lucky patcher but to be honest i am not sure quite what to do with it. Can you give me some pointers on what it does and how to do it?. Custom Patch, remove lisence, change permissions, create modified APK?.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

You have to select the play store app from the list. It will display custom patch if you are using one of the latest versions. Then it will present you with an option to unlock the compatibility with every app you want.
