GTA3 - HTC Desire S

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

Hey man, I have the same problem... Have you fix it after reinstalling and downloading cache? I have ice cold sandwich ROM and few 3D games dont work And cache from this games is from my old SD too

very hot !

hi, i'm running android revolution HD overclocked with faux kernel at 1510 and i noticed that my phone is getting warm each time i use it ( gps, internet, games). when i play games i goes to 48° celsius. I am a bit worry about it. I'm thinking about overheat maybe ? is that normal ? do u have the same temperature ?
(temperature at home 28°c)
Try underclocking it to like 1.3 GHz, whenever I do that my device cools down and I don't notice a drop in performance....

Thanks for your answer, that's what i tried yesterday night, temperature goes to 44° when i play Xplane 9 or 3d games .... it's a bit less than 48° but it's still a bit hot .... ?!
Overheat is at 50° isn't it ??
To my knowledge the faux kernel has heat problems. I know I can't use it or my phone gets too hot. Have you tried using a different kernel? Unity or Stock even?

I for one have not had heat issues with the Faux v0.1.0 kernel. Granted, I have not played many intense 3D games, but I have played N64oid with Super Mario 64 for roughly 15-20 minutes straight and haven't noticed any difference in phone temperature. If anything, this kernel, for me, performs better than the stock kernel in terms of temperature.
Could I be the lucky one? lol
hi everyone,
i have tested 2 differents ROM : android revolution from Mike and InsertCoin from baadnews and i just tried with stock kernel ... and guess what ? and my phone is still hot when i'm using it ... about 43°.
any idea ?
hello every one
i had this issue even before i root my mobile
and i am using LeeDrOiD but it is really getting hot sometimes for many reasons
when i connect the WIFI and i am charging the mobile
when i play any kindof games for some time.
when i browse some applications
i hope this will be fixed it is something really bad!

than don't over clock.
over clocking is going to raise operating temperatures.
What is your goal with overclocking? Or you just hopping on the band wagon?

you are right i agree with you but
so why we are having a strong phone with all these specifications ??
even when i was on stock also had the sme issue
i think Q&A for HTC is really bad for this phone.
according to the number of problems this phone have(screen, heat, Dust under screen).
these problems happend for allot of people, just google it and you will see big result and i dont see any reaction from HTC!!!

i overclocked because i am a performance addict . always wants more you know but this time i think i will not overclock ,temparture are too high and it will end very bad !
I also noticed that the buttons ( home, back, search , menu ) always stay on when i use de phone, is it normal ? the lights should not switch off after a few seconds ?

Improve gaming fps

Is there a way to increase fps in games, for example on FIFA it's normally smooth but when you get in side the box and there lots players around it lag like hell. I'm using endy 3.4

1. Overclock... increase your clock speed from whatever you have to 300-400 MHz more.
2. Undo any undervolting that you've applied.
3. Set the v6 supercharger profile to aggressive or insane
4. Change IO scheduler to SIO
5. Turn off the internet (both Wifi and Mobile Data) and sync when you're playing.
Do this without being sceptical... first try it out and then report back if it made any difference. See if that helps.

Well, in that case, i think you should just flash Reaper and see if Sense was the problem... See if you get a performance boost with a lighter ROM.
You could also give chainfire 3d a go. Never tried it myself though
yeah install reaper ,oc to 1.2gig+,install chainfire pro and you should see a good improvement
Imho chainfire 3d doesn't give any performance boost, it's more of a compatibility tool. In some cases games run even better without it.
Ahhh... screw this. Just go out to the field and play real football man!
Amen to that brother.
Or buy a beer. Beer is always good.

it does if you select reduce textures.
Oh yeah. Actually You're right. The downside could be game looking much worse, but I actually noticed some improvement back in the past on one of games.

It's all down to the individual chip, some oc happily whilst others don't, I've been quite lucky I started at 1.2 then gradually raised it over a couple of weeks. I'm not so bothered now because I get a new one in a couple of weeks. But I've been quite happy on 1.5 for about two months

Gaming speed + stability

First of all I am no noob but I haven't had this phone long, I know there are different opinions but I want some different views from everyone to help me in my quest for the perfect gaming setup. Opinions on best gaming roms (must have decent gameloft compatibility), recommended tweaks etc please? My current setup is reaper rom OC to 1.5 and mc4 is still kind of laggy
Sent from my rooted baby monitor
I experienced no lag at all while palying the MC4 on Stock ICS ROM And that too also without OC..
Only Temple Run was bit sluggish on ICS Stock ROM.

Oh and btw what's the framerate on mc4 like? By lag I mean bad framerate which causes sluggish rate of fire, makes it feel like I'm playing mc1 lol
Sent from my rooted baby monitor
Overclocking too high, to the point where data failures start to occur / major heat builds up and causes thermal throttling of the CPU - will cause instabilities, stuttering and lag. I'd guess that you're already at that point.

Not sure about the Frame rate...But the experience was good and I never felt that I should quit. I played almost all the games of Gameloft on my Stock ICS and GB..Was bit annoyed about Temple Run when I updated my phone through RUU..
Give me some time will check on my current Viper ROM and will update you.

Using reaper with un-touch oc. Seems okay to me, didnt experience any lag. But then again i dont play much of this games.
*didnt know aiming was so simple. Just needed to click the scope and it auto aims :silly:
Update: tried reducing OC a bit and actually did see an improvement, best speed seems to be between 1.2 and 1.3, not 1.5, I fell victim to placebo effect

[Q] HTC One X Games - Low FPS

Hello,
I dont know if Im writting to correct subthread,
I was reading a lot of topics about it..
I bough that phone when it was released and I was happy that I got most powerful smartphone, but then I started playing games on it and everything was bad..
Some super graphic games like Shadowzone, Dead Trigger, Dead Space and Epic Citadel are without even little lag (+30-60FPS), but games like GTA Vice City or today released Dungeon Hunter 4 .. they are un-playable for me on my stock HTC One X even at lowest graphic settings.
I was reading that application on google play will let me boost CPU Frequency and my games will be lag free.
I just need to root my phone download that app boost my cpu freq. and play? Or I need to do anything else or do u have any recommendation for me?
Hows your HTC One X doing for gaming?
Thanks!

Root your device.
Download setCPU or Any other cpu app like the one you gave link of.
In the app choose interactive governor.
This will be helpful. But if you want better performance use gaming boost app, too.
More info available at the link I gave you.
Pretty simple but very helpful.

You can install ota's after root, just do NOT remove any system apps ! And after applying the root with the custom recovery you need to flash back the corresponding STOCK recovery.
When you UNLOCK the bootloader you will be put back to full factory stock, so yes. Nothing will be erased by applying root itself
You can however make backups of the stuff you need from the stock rom with the app called CARBON.
hope this helps you

Please tell me answer for this:
I got HTC One X but games on it are lagging for example Dungeon Hunter 4, Need for speed Most Wanted or other games by Gameloft.. Like Wild Blood etc...
If I root my phone and after that just download that setcpu application and set CPU frequeny to 1GHz will be my games lag-free? I wont do anything else I will just root my phone and download that application and set CPU frequency.
Thanks
The hox goes to 1500 mhz not just a 1000 .... But when all 4 cores are enabled they go up to max 1300 if i recall this right. To get real lag free you can install a custom kernel that allows unlocking the 4 cores to 1500 mhz at the same time.
There are even kernels that go up to 1700 mhz

Well I bough that phone because it was labeled as Most powerfull machine in 2012. It cost me 650 dollar and I though I will run every game on highest setting with lag-free experience .. and whoaa I cant play everygame and almost every third game is lagging on my HOX. I will buy iPhone as next phone really. This is ridicilous.
When its that strong why my HOX cant run these games without lag?
I saw a lot of videos of HOX running GTA Vice city on full graphic without lags and I cant even run it on minimal without frame drops. Why HTC dont include firmware to fix this? Its not in hardware its not in game its about HTC firmware.
Im quite noob in these kernels roms etc.. I dont want to break my phone it was quite expensive for me. I also want to update from oficial HTC server to prevent bricking my phone.
I think its more about the games being unoptimized for the t3 rather than the t3 itself.
Shadowzone used to be one of the games that lagged badly.
