[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..

Improved or just the same fps for fruit ninja?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium

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.

yeah that was the issue with software rendering.

put sygic in the list

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.

Nova 3

So Nova 3 is out... its the first game that I found the device struggles to play stock...
I have to o.c. to 1.3 ghz to play lag free

damn already! the phone have been in the market for less than a year :S
i'll download and test it

I can't seem to find it on the market or on gameloft

Yeah but in less then a year major gaming titles have appeared and they keep getting more complex and higher graphics...
Nova 3 beat my record of resource data to download... 1.75 gb of space needed...
If that trend continues the number will slowly rise to about 3 or 4 gb like console games...
In which case dual core 512 MB ram phones will quickly hit the weak list...
Just think of the best one out there right now...
Sgs3 : quad core 2gb ram!!!

That is wired I don't have that problem and I'm running stock 1Ghz

There is a lot of discussing going on HTC One X forums about this game.
Tricks to make it go smooth on the Tegra 3, tricks to play on full graphics.
There I read that if you have Chainfire installed (which probably trekfan have) the game will run on full graphics and it will lag even on 1.3 GHz because the device can't handle those graphics.
Without Chainfire game runs on 1GHz without any problems.

I found out it was a bad rom. But now I have it at 1.0 ghz and even have it running from the next SD card and it runs great.

Water Bear. No OC. Laggy. It's strange because Rom seems to be really light and fast. Don't know why.

NOVA 3 created so much hopes and was waiting for its release.....and after the release the hype it created has met all and the total engaging levels make ur experience memorable and u get kind of addictive... its a gamer's choice
try it totally recommended:good:

Hi,
i install nova 3 in My O3D , but in game said :
"Your Device Is Not Compatible, Please Request a Refund"
What is problem?

when i download the data i just get a temporary black screen and then the game closes, can anyone help.

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.

Shouldn't we be playing a tegra optimised game without even a single lag/freeze..?

or maybe the build by sammsung is poor...
just think that ardatdat has helped to resolve maximum of the game lags...so i dnt mind those occasional and very rare lags on T2 optimised games...

Can someone put up an explanation on how all the governor settings work ?

Click to expand...

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.

Game lags corrected. (Atleast have stopped for me)

So yesterday i was researching about gamelags on STOCK ICS.
I found out this solution somewhere.
Initially i did not flash ardatdat's kernel
but
after doing this plus flashing ardatdats kernal lags have like vanished.
So just do this thing
1.Go to settings---> developer options and check 'Force GPU Rendering' and restart your phone.
2. Use Ardatdats kernel v4.2 beta 6 *HIGHLY Recommended*
Games tried :
1. Temple Run Brave (15 minutes of play..No lag)
2. World Cricket Championship (10 over game..no lag)
3. Farming Simulator
4. Plants vs. Zombies
5. Stick Cricket
6. Stick Tennis
7. Temple Run 2
8. Race, Stunt, Fight 2
9. Drag Racing 3D
10. Fruit Ninja
Hope it helps

+1 for this. Didn't try games, but it's good to have this option always set to on. Increases overall performance.

I tried gaming on stock ICS.
Did try unofficial JB on our phone. But then vibration problems.
Actually some nexus version had an ICS lag in scrolling and gaming.
So someone posted it as an answer.
I tried it for gamelags of our device and it worked.
(Obviously the nexus solution did not have include the ardatdats kernel part )
@adam sir: please help us with the vibration problem in Pacrom

Didn't notice it, but theoretically yes. It uses the GPU for rendering the UI. However, I have it always turned on, regardless of which rom I'm on.

So wasnt quite evident.
But i couldnt notice some MAJOR chunk of battery % vanishing in thin air
But the lags have finally gone on ICS (Hopes held high)
Rest lets see...

Yup, ardatdat kernel with performance governor, almost eliminates the Game stutters(I won't call them lags)

On ardatdat kernel use setcpu app to set both the cpu freq's to max(equivalent to performance governor). Then try a game...eg temple run...no lags.

But remember when u select performance then top level of clock will work and hence battery backup goes down.
@deep: buddy its my pleasure if i would suggest or make u understand the thing and become part of ur few moments.

Well if you know how to use SetCpu go ahead it will completely resolve the issue. (Never tried as i am not comfortable..but our senior members do recommend using it )
But if youre still not comfortable with the stutters we have to live with it till official JB arrives (maybe..on samsungs mercy :'( ) :sigh:
Atleast the frequency of the lags seems to go less.
My games even stuttered with PacRom :'( (stick cricket did )

Buddy apply it..and then restart your phone after 2-3 minutes.
If not working use setcpu and clock the minimum to 1000mhz i.e. Max=Min=1000mhz.

did any one faced slowness in games.
while am playing subway surfers and temple run, am facing little lagging.
i have updated the phone and even cleared all cache things.
but still same lagging while starting of the game.

yess dude ..
i have tried it.. even i have updated it at service centre.
but still am feeling laggy.. i didnt understand what to do..?

Hi! What is your model of phone: the C2104 or the C2105? What is your build number?
I have the C2105 and there's no lag on Temple Run 2 or on Subway Surfer. My build number is 15.0.A.1.31

I have no lag in Temple Run 1&2.. But, when the mobile data is kept on, there is noticeable lag in subway surfers.. If kept off, there is lesser lag rarely..

yupp i am also facing with C2104 & with update 15.0.A.1.31
lag is clearly noticable at the starting of game & later on it become normal after few movements may be 2 mins.
need some suggestions buddies.

maybe you can use Vengeance Kernel in Xperia L Original Android Dev. section...when I'm using that kernel at 1,4GHz, performance governor, noop IO scheduler, I never met any lag till I can get score 30k++(in this score it will be very fast game)

I used to have this problem, too. All I did was overclock a little. Even changing the governor on your kernel could help.
