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.

Yes I am talking about those occasional lags..
Shouldn't we be playing a tegra optimised game without even a single lag/freeze..?
Imo ics of galaxy r is fully not ready for gaming....

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...

have you tried using SetCPU between 1000hz and 1200hz or something like that?

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

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.

you naughty2 boy...

Slight jerks once in a while, playable, of course you cant get close to those Sense Roms but do keep in mind that it is still in RC.
-temple run(smooth, sometimes it jerks)
-angry birds(no lag whatsoever)
-dead space(smooth, jerks a bit sometimes)
-asphalt 6(smooth, jerks a bit sometimes)
-cut the rope(no lag whatsoever)
Dont have gta, sorry i

Dead Trigger is absolutely flawless on Bruce's CM10.

So please what do you suggest?
I have also tried salty bean and slim bean. But all lagged while playing temple run 2 and running fred.

Read the forum rules PLEASE before you post.
EDIT: But for your question, I don't know dude. If it's lagless on Stock Gingerbread, then stay with it. I'm currently experimenting and I'm back to Helly Bean 4.1.2 with the Devil 1.9.5 kernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz and I'm fine with games. Try Seeder, maybe it helps with lag.

Seeder? thanks but i just dont like the look of gingerbread. Thanks
I know i made a mistake having many tabs open . I should have posted in qiestions

Try different roms. Try CM9, CM10, Helly Bean 4.1.2, Helly 4.2.2...It's trial and error mate.

Ask a mod to move the thread.
Running Fred isn't an intense game....compare it to nfs most wanted for example.
nfs most wanted plays without any lags on captivating....I think that game isn't optimized for 4.2. Hence your results on different 4.2 roms.

so it is based on optimisation?
how about temple run 2?
thank you btw i will try the milestone 2

Best ROM's for doing anything would fall on you OP, with so many variables involved, user apps/user tweaks/user usage the only real way to find the best is for you to flash and run and Test....
Thanks

[Q] Real Racing 3 on Desire S?

Hi everyone. I'm a noob.
I was wondering if it was possible to make my HTC Desire S running PACman v20.0.1 ROM able to run Real Racing 3. It doesn't appear in the play store and online it says incompatible. Please reply
Thanks.

I would normally tell you to use market unlocker app, but it doesn't work anymore, so the only thing left would be warez try looking on the net for an apk... I'm playing rr3 on my DS overclocked to 1.7ghz but it's still leggy. Laggy but playable

lower the oc to 1k-1.2k, high oc is known to cause lag in some games.

Real Racing 3 was available on 28th February. I downloaded it, installed, noticed that it was laggy on my ROM. I've changed the ROM and it wasn't available. Since then I've tried some other ROMs and also incompatible. Installed with the .apk file and I'm now playing it(although it's lagging, especially after hacking and buying all cars )

Reaper V4.0 is probably the most stable rom available. Gaming performance proves to be much better on this rom, so you might want to give it a try.

Maybe the game performance would be great on it, but it's on GB. I have flashed the Desire XS and the performance of Real Racing 3 is even better, than on CM and PACman with overclocked CPU. But thanks anyway for your advice!

Your call. Something to remember is that many things affect gaming performance including governors and I/O schedulers. Also, you might want to try using V6 Supercharger script (link is in my sig) and GameBooster 2
Haven't got a chance a chance to try GameBooster 2 yet but judging from the responses in the play store, it seems to work well.

Gaming Performance on ALL custom JB roms

Lately I've been switching back and forth from Stock Samsung JB rom to Custom JB roms (4.2.2) and notice a huge difference in gaming performance and general smoothness.
For me, I feel like all recent custom roms that I've tried, whether its CM10.1, or SLIM6 or AOKP, seem to be a bit laggy when running games compared to the stock JB feel of the same games. It seems like the only way I can get reasonable performance is if I disable hardware overlays, but its still not quite as nice and smooth as stock.
Is this type of thing purely KERNAL controlled? Or is it just the fact that its 4.2.2 and not really optimized for the skyrocket yet? I mean the Android UI feels smoother on custom roms, but in games it does not... I can't wrap my head around that...
Its bugging me because I feel like all these lightweight custom roms should blow away the stock rom in almost all aspects... but if performance can't be better, its a deal breaker for me as daily driver.
I'm sure all the devs are doing their best to work on performance issues and I do appreciate all the hard work going into all the custom roms by the devs, as without them, we'd have nothing to cure our flashing itch of course... :laugh:
Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this, but does anyone have any proven methods of boosting performance of games?

Oh ok, well are you running any other mods/scripts/tools that would speed up performance? I tried stable as well but it still stuttered for me "out of the box".
ALSO, I can't even get the free game "Subway Surfers" to load off the Play Store at all... does it work for you? It used to work fine for me, but now I'm just getting a black screen on game load (soft keys are lit and system is not frozen), it never starts. I've always done a full wipe, even tried wiping internal SD, and it still won't run. If I go back to stock JB rom, it works perfectly fine everytime....
Maybe the game developer locked it down to only stock kernals with a recent update?!?... is that even possible?
