Hi guys, i want to ask you about tegra 3 performace question. When im playing batman dark knight rises, in fights game is unbelievable laging, somtimes its smooth, or for shadowgun dead zone, when im underfire the game starts laging for a while, but then its smooth again. I watched few videos on youtube aboutt playing those games on nexus 7 (almost same specs as i know, corect me if im wrong) and games was still smoth, no so much lags. Please write me about your experiens, thanks. PS: im on stock jb rom rooted, cwm recovery touch version

My tab is overclocked to 1.5GHz and I have not noticed any lag whatsoever while playing games. I play NFSMW all the time for long periods with no lag.
Have you installed a kernel that will overclock? If not, you may want to do so.

Some games, especially the dark night, are not optimized for tegra 3. Many games will not fully take advantage of all our cores. As the above post stated, over clocking your cpu will help very slighty however the cpu is not the cause of the lag. Over clocking your gpu is what you really want to do for graphics performance. Ive also found that linaro roms have many speed optimizations that greatly improve performance across the board. (my nexus 7 is running full linaro andriod, i use that for gaming) as for shadowgun... Did you buy the tegra optimized version? If you bought the regular version thats why its lagging. I recommend downloading tegrazone from the play store. It showcases ALL tegra optimized games and highlights gaming news/upcoming games. Thats where i get most of my apps.

Thanks for replies, i tried overclocked kernel, but i restore backup because i think the tabet started to be hot and battery drain was bigger, and maybe im paranoid whats do you say? And about games, i readed about bad optimalization, but how is possile on youtube is it on nexus 7 so much smoother? And about shadowgun, i have free multiplayer one, Dead zone. Thanks

When overclocking, you don't need to max out the CPU. I usually keep mine at 1.5 to1.6 ghz and that is plenty. I never turn mine up over 1.6 except to benchmark.

Thats right, but when i did it, games was buggy, for example in nfs most wanted was reflections on cars bad, or dead zone crashes after startup, but gta vice city or batman dark knight rises wwas much smoother... what about you?

Need for speed MW runs perfect on mine as do other games. It may be due to the fact that the GPU is set differently in the ROM/kernel I'm running. I'm running Paranoid Android v2.54 with the modified Unter kernel. If you decide to give it a try, make sure you choose v2.54 and not the the 2.99 beta version. Also, the modified Unter kernel for it is loccated in the 3rd post under EXTRAS. It is a must if you run the ROM. Setting your tab to 1.5 ghz will be sufficient.
The ROM also has many other setting to adjust and tweak to get the most out of your tablet. I usually run mine in phablet mode. It puts the status bar up top and moves the home, back and settings tab to the middle/ bottom of the screen. Like most CM ROMs, it also has performance settings in the settings menu so you can adjust your CPU. It also has zram if you choose to enable it. I could go on and on about all the extra features this ROM has.
The only thing that doesn't work properly is GPS. You can make it work but you must make the changes every time you reboot in order for it to work. Instead of making the changes, I just wirelessly tether to my phones hotspot and set it to work off the mobile signal. It gets a GPS lock in no time.
I suggest reading the thread and giving it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Make sure that you do a factory reset then wipe cache and dalvik before rebooting. This is very important. Just follow the directions Keegan posted and you'll be fine. It really is a nice ROM, especially when you learn to use all of the features. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a personal message. I'll be more than happy to help you out if I can.
Also, I don't remember if you said you are running TWRP or not. If not, I highly recommend installing it. Keegan also recommends using TWRP in his instructions.

I've got a sgs+ I updated to android 2.3.5 from 2.3.3 it improved the overall lagginess abit. I have tried almost everything not too difficult to smoothen things out because I'm not really into custom rom kinda deep stuff. For instance, temple run, lags every 10 secs and I fail. Angry birds? Same thing. My buddy with SGS "classic" does not have any of these kind of problems.

If you want to have a better gaming experience (no lag..) you can either buy a phone with a stronger cpu, or root (which is really easy) and see if there is any custom kernels available for your device. With a custom rom and kernel you can make your phone more powerful than it is by increasing the speeds of your cpu. Phone's that don't have enough power don't play certain games well. I know you said you aren't into roms... It's really not that complicated. There is no way to make your phone more powerful, than to root and install a custom rom and kernel... Hope that helped.

The only problem with that is that the sgs+ has a 1.4ghz processor *COUGH*. its a single core but 1.4 is more than enough for temple run or angry birds. have you checked what programs are in the background? maybe there is a process that is polling every few seconds and lags the phone.

Yeah my phone too can get pretty laggy crashy and unstable when I am using it allot without turning it off.
ICS on my Samsung Gio lagged allot so I had to switch back to an earlyer version which increased my CPU performance by 400%, (however, graphic performance change was almost negligible)
You could also try something like a2sd, if you already have something like that your SDcard might be slow. (I suggest you get some confirmation on this one from more experienced android users before actually going and buying a new one, since I am quite new to this whole android stuff).
Hope I could be of service,

You probably have a lot of apps running at the background. Try installing a 3rd party app manager and end all apps. I mean all. Should work. If not then your phone has a problem. SGS+ SHOULDN'T lag behind the SGS not unless the SGS is rooted.
What is your "better phone for games"? Will it be released for ever?
Buy an iPhone for 0 lag gaming.. Android has some lags.
If you don't want to root and install ROMs then pretty much your only option is to uninstall unnecessary services and apps. Try uninstalling an app, testing the game, and keep uninstalling untill you know which app is possibly the offending one.

Rebooting helps for some 10 minutes, I really don't want to reboot that often. My phone goes 40-50fps but lags 1/4 seconds every 10 secs. I sometimes get bigger fps drops when playing reckless racing 2. I guess that is for dual core processors, but mostly it runs fairly well apart from those little lags

Sigh...... advanced task killers or any of them are just a pile or **it, they just use up ram, on android we all know theres no way to close all apps, they'll just keep opening anyway and they can't close most apps. It drains your battery and has your processors trying harder with a ram drainage. Absolutely USELESS.

hello
dear user it may occur to you that sometimes when you apply a custom rom to a phone it is now built right for that phone because of all the different specs to that phone so it would be best advised to stick with the set defaults if you don't realy know what you are doind (like me) but also you could try and root is (universil androrot) and then use some programs like memory booster or just un install some apps from your device all together so free up some of the phones memorry.
hope it helped daveveej.

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.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers 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

I honestly doubt that an app can overclock my stock kernel so easily.

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
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
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.

Hello Xplay users !
I initially posted this in dixperia2 thread but there's no reason you wouldn't try this in your roms
If you didn't know there is an app called seeder in this thread ( a thread witch grows every second) it worked for me and killed almost all the lags I had with my Play ,
everything is smoother than before ( for real ) !
I used to overclock my Play to 1.3ghz like the op recommended to have good performance but now I reverted to 1ghz with seeder activated and it's way better than before !
The app is not/not obviously working for a bunch of devices (especially the latest high end ones) but for my 1ghz/512mo it definitely makes a difference
there is also a controversy about HOW seeder works and if it harms battery but I didn't notice anything for 2 days now
The installation and uninstallation are easy just take the latest one (seeder apk v1.1) and make it launch at boot
The official thread is saturated with all types of comments so can we discuss here our experiences with seeder for our device only ?
I use lupus kernel V6 for GB and Ondemandx with SIO , with 170mo of zram
So just install the 1.1? Set on Boot and then what? Should i keep it or uninstall? How about a better installation process? Can i uninstall it afterwards?

sorry for that I totaly forgot about the dev section as I supposed this app is more likely to be in the "app" section !
@bhavei you just need to tap "activate" and tick "on boot" that's all , if you want to remove the tweak and all what it does just uninstall seeder
In the main treath there are more files... I tryed the 1.0 alpha and 1.1, but no diference at all... May be it requires another way to install it completely...
I'm wondering.
install ONLY version 1.1 , a common issue is the app doesn't get root permissions so check if it's the case
In my case I noticed that apps open quicker and multitasking has improved
There's a flashable zip also

Any disadvantages, you people who have tried it, that you want to share?
I tried it, and right now i see immediate removal of lag of games that i play that are usually laggy. I would have to test it for days (it could be placebo) before i decide if this really works.
I read some of the threads discussing it, and all i can say right now (in layman terms) is that:
According to the app maker, there is lag coming from random number generation, because the os itself did not prepare enough cached random numbers. There seems to be lag when the a random number is requested and the one prepearing the random number (a file called '/dev/random') has no random number ready to give (like you just woke up somebody and he has to give you something, i guess lol).
According to some respectable android experts, nobody uses '/dev/random' but those security stuff (ssl etc.), so it does not really work.
My 2 cents: Random numbers are obviously used in games. It may also be used in special effects. Maybe it fixes those stuff. Although from what i read, those random numbers does not use the affected file '/dev/random' (i am not sure about this, any experts?).
Well right now it is working for me. According to cpu spy, i still have deep sleep and the cpu does not work like it is always in 'performance' mode.
Well that's disappointing. The title of the thread says project butter for gingerbread, and I was like "where have I been?!?!", but no. No project butter for me. :crying:
Pocketnow made a video on how this actually works and it reveals that it doesn't really help, but instead it makes the phone run at a higher frequency for longer, so it seems like it performs better.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhH4Gf8Az5o
it will not be obvious for a nexus7-quad-core-possessors to see if it helps with lags (because a nexus7 isn't supposed to have lags) , if you have a nexus7 and it lags then there is a problem in the first place !! and again , no one seams to know HOW it works the only thing a can assure you is that it doesn't eat battery while gives better performance in my Xplay
It does help and it's built in to turbo kernel

Thanks for you help!
Rooting allows certain apps that will speed the tablet up. Installing a custom rom will increase the speed of the tablet tremendously,however to do so you must unlock your bootloader which then voids the warranty on your tablet. If you install a 4.2.x rom yes it will move the navigation buttons into the middle, however not all roms are 4.2 yet. When ASUS releases 4.2.1 for the tf700 they will have it optioned to switch between layouts, which will be implemented into Cromi when it is update, is what I guess will happen. So you will have the choice. But you wont be forced to use the new layout.

If you root it, you can install Browser 2 Ram and that will help with the browser lag.
To install a custom ROM you will have to unlock the bootloader, which will void your warranty -for good!
And it can make all the difference...
I was frustrated and disappointed with the TF700 until I unlocked and flashed CROMI -now I adore it!
Each custom ROM is slightly different. What you are referring to may be the 4.2. launcher which puts the soft key buttons in the middle.
There is no 4.2. stock or custom Rom for the TF 700 yet. But the 4.2. release for the TF 300 lets you choose between the 4.1. and 4.2. launcher. I would expect it to be the same once we get 4.2.
But then... I would not touch 4.2. unless it's been CROMI'd

Won't be too long. My bet is, Asus releases 4.2. for the TF700 within the next 3-4 months. Then the only question is what the bootloader will look like and how long it will take sbdags and _that to create a CROMI version...
I'm not in a hurry. Entirely happy with what I got right now
And actually.... I'm so contend right now, 4.2 is going to have to have some serious candy to make me move....

If the best they can do is that multi-user capability, I will probably stick to CROMI 3.4.4 as well -- at least we have very little known bugs whereas a new 4.2 stock ROM might bring unknown new and fresh ones. Ugh. Another boatload of work for sbdags and _that...
One thing rooting does is give you the authority to define which apps load on boot (startups). This is huge since you can disable most of these and get back tons more RAM after boot, which is the main reason this device is so glitchy in my opinion - lack of sufficient RAM. Phones run strong in 1GB RAM. Tablets do not. Because you typically load so many more apps on the tablet, all the RAM is gone by the time you boot. And when its gets low on RAM, all hell breaks loose. Not to mention the lag, if thats not bad enought, but 25 apps just can't run together properly in 250MB of space. Now try 260 user apps like I have and you'll agree you have to root.
After rooting and tweeking I now get about 500MB of free RAM after boot and use RAM booster (by Root Uninstaller) to manage and autoboost my RAM regularly. Its now fast, reliable, and runs all week without ever random rebooting like it used to do all the time. Also, Dev Options, enabling "Force GPU rendering" is highly recommended.

VERY interesting discussion. I think I might do it. Excellent feedback! Much appreciated!
Unlocked. Rooted. ROM'd.
I feel like such a rebel! So much for the warranty.
Not sure I notice the speed up yet but I haven't used it enough. Went with CROMI.
:good:

I'm going to go ahead and add to the countless times this has been said aready, just for the record, and for the future readers of this thread.
1. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
2. I had a lot of apps installed, but I didn't get past the 130 mark. Who the Hell has so many apps in use anyway? This is an invalid remark, im ny opinion, for it has absolutely no bearing on the device's capabilities, but only says something about the owner. With that kind of number of apps installed, you make it impssible for ANdroid to manage your memory.
I haven't rooted my device yet but when you root it you can use programs that allow you to speed your phone up (battery drain)

If you on stock rom, you may need to do a factory reset and disable any unused apps. It will speed up a little bit.
For the custom, I like Cromi X for performance and the speed is improved quite a bit comparing with stock rom..

"Quite a bit"?????
It's been a while since you were on stock dear friend! LOL
It's more like: Night and Day!
BTW, @LetMeKnow, have you tried _that's new kernel? I may be imagining things, but the tab seems to run even smoother.
@OP: that's the question on CROMi-X: does it run great, really well, fantastically well or just buttery smooth...

@berndblb, "Night and Day????? :laugh: I am always conservative and let the users decide.. Yes, Cromi X is running very fast and very happy with it.. :good:
About new _that kernel, I downloaded it already but I am still testing Hund hotplug interface on 3.3.8... As soon as I am done with the testing, I will give it a test drive.. I read a lot of good comments about it. _that knows what he is doing and of course his kernel is great.. I will post my opinion as soon as testing it..
