Hey guys,
I havent flashed Jelly Bean yet but I think i know why for example Temple Run 2 lags.
The GPU has not enough RAM allocated.
At GB the GPU has around 200 of RAM
At JB it has only around 100.
Anybody know how to change it?
Even if u play 720P video, it lags and sometimes freezes I experienced that.

200MB of RAM allocated to the GPU? That's impossible, on GB we had 555MB of usable RAM, 213MB was hardware reserved, some of this was allocated to the camera, some for HD 720p playback and a tiny amount for the GPU itself, the specific amount to be allocated is kernel dependent. You can't do anything about that. The change to kernel 3.0 brought several changes, the whole Mali libs were reworked and newer modules were used, that should bring better performance in theory.
The reason behind the lags in Temple Run 2 may be either hardware acceleration (which may not be working as it should) or a GPU lib issue. Both shall be fixed in the final firmware. You can't just expect things to work right away in such an experimental firmware which wasn't even meant to be used on a daily basis.

yes, basically it is not for end user, this is just experimental rom so we can find what's inside the rom (feature etc) and find some bug if exist.

Ever thought that this "leak" brings Samsung free testing? In a relatively short amount of time people found some bugs with battery drain and BT issues.
It could be a premeditated release to help developers build a bug free firmware sooner.
Next step would be to make the source code public and then they would get help with code generation as well
Just a theory, don't want to start any flames

To any of you who might have concerns, there is no doubt about it -- performance is lower on JB at this point, but hell...
IT'S NOT GPU RELATED.
The issues you've been reporting directly address video decoding issue and/or lower CPU performance in some scenarios.
GPU does not take care of video encoding/decoding. My guess is there is still no full HW accelerated decoding available.
On a side note, vRAM is irrelevant to GPU performance as well. vRAM keeps pre-rendered frames and texture data. How does that quantity make GPU faster or slower? If there was not enough vRAM to handle all the texture data and pre-rendered frames - you'd see artifacts on the screen, yet you don't.

This may be a more general issue affecting other android phones as well but for a long time now I've had issues playing mp4 format videos. The sound is perfect but the video plays back abominable slow so they are completely out of sync. I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has any ideas on this. I've tried multiple players including rockplayer, moboplayer, stock player, vplayer and many others and I just can't get them to play right. All other formats play without any issues.. flv ..mov ..avi ..xvid..mkv.. all are great.. just not mp4. Please if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate a hand with this...thanx!

im not sure if its just because of the hardware on the Thunderbolt but I have the same issues aswell. my workaround is overclocking as well as using good apps like MX Video Player & if you are playing 720P videos check out Dice Player.
Appreciate the response. I'll try out those players as well. What are you overclocking to? I'm usually at about 368 low end and 1.2 high end I think right now using the bamf tools to do it on bamf forever cubed rom.

regardless of the rom, I always set low to 245 and high about 1.2 if its an aosp rom and 1.4 if its sense based. I don't like to go much higher as I've had my battery get very hot and battery life goes down a bit also.

I can't go below 368 on mine or phone will do random shutdowns. I try to use my phone and it was powered off. As soon as I moved it back to 368 never happened again.

i use setcpu for all roms(even if they come with bamf settings, cyanogen settings, etc). if it's not letting you go past 1ghz then you'll have to install a kernal that will. i was recently using that bamf soab rom and they had an imogean(sp?) kernal for it in the same thread. you can either check bamf's thread for a specific kernal they recommend or check here on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249328
Eh just checked setcpu and it does the same... Neither are allowing me to go past 1024000 and minimum is 245768. Not being allowed to clock it past up to 1.4 which is weird because I know I've done so on past Roms.. maybe it's just this rom? I'm using Bamf Forever Cubed with the stock kernel it came with. Any suggestions on why I'm being locked down to a top end overclock of 1024000?..
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Sorry just posted my response as you responded.. yeah I have the 3 optional variations of the Imoseyen kernel that works with his rom.. it was a stock, learn and 368 something... Maybe I'll switch and try them out instead...kinda odd being locked down to 1024000 when the phone can handle up to 1.4..

You are wasting your (cpu) time if you are playing anything more than 480p on it. In landscape mode you only have 480 pixels vertically, so playing a higher rez movie means you are making it scale on the fly and probably dealing with a higher bitrate on the source file as well.

personally, I download a lot of shows with my phone and watch them on the phone. Lots of times(especially lately) I will find stuff only available in 720P.
why no tv?... well, when you drive limos you can't always just go back home in between jobs & I don't want to get a big ol' inverter and bring my laptop.
Interesting. I convert a lot of dvds to mp4 format to watch on my phone and have never had any playback issues. Phone running the latest leak, rooted and debloated of coarse. Unfortunately, the AOSP roms don't have nfl network.
I also use system panel to kill all running tasks before playing any videos. All videos are played on Vplayer and I doubt any of them are 720p. Seems like overkill to me.

I'm considering buying a Xoom, and I've been trying to read up on it, and it seems as though video playback has been discussed to great extent. Most of what I've read is about HD files (.mkv).
How is the video playback of .avi files on the stock player?
If it sucks, would you recommend any other apps? Or would I need to re-encode them?
I will use this when travelling, so I can't use any streaming software from my regular pc.
I have no problem with rooting and installing custom ROMs if that would improve anything!
Thank you!

In my opinion it is not worth doing. Just download Mobo Player from the market and you'll be fine. Not had 1 .avi that would not work with Mobo, nor noticed any difference in the quality.
No issues here either, there are a few things that I've reencoded due to size but not found any issues..
fyi I've been using freemaker video converter to reencode stuff if it needed doing.
On the xoom page on motos website it says that .ago is not nativly supported by the android OS, and that using decoders may reduce battery time if its not done on a hardware level. Any of you having trouble with battery life?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Mobo does both hardware and software rendering and there are other players on the market that will use hardware rendering.
As for battery life, I cant honestly say that I have seen a decrease that would make a difference to my useage.

Don't think about it, even If you found a player which can run it and you overclock to 806, still you'll run it below 7-8 FPS, which means it will be too laggy and the worst thing is that you can't enjoy that video, use your computer to convert it to 480p

I don't like trolls on xda. I assumed kiranbandre was asking a legit question to what he didn't know. Again, because I assume people here don't troll those in need. So I explained that umangleekha was in fact referring to the same thing by "converting".

Currently I'm running Tweaked 2.2, EXT4, and 5/24 PBJ kernel. I'm generally not overclocking, but I've also tried 1.2Ghz.
Video playback on webpages very choppy and unwatchable (I've tried stock browser, skyfire, firefox, boat, opera,etc, etc) . Video's on YouTube play great.
Is it a lack of memory problem? Is everyone seeing the same thing?

The newer (may releases) PBJ kernels never did work quite right for me. At least in my case, the cache to SD option in dolphin was the difference between smooth and not so smooth. But again, stock kernel, stock clocks.
It really depends if it was optimized for mobile or not. Some Flash content (e.g. Starcraft streams from TeamLiquid) will run very choppy with a painful frame rate (on full screen Flash sometimes complains of "not optimized" ) while other videos (you know what I'm talking about ) will run smoothly because they were "optimized".

While i think you're asking a lot out of your hardware by attempting to play a 720p video at such a high bitrate considering the overhead that flash imposes, it got significantly better once the entire video downloaded. Still a relative slideshow for me though. A single 1.0-1.3 ghz processor isn't gonna cut it for a video of that quality without some kind of gpu hardware acceleration somehow. That video will never be completely smooth on this phone.
And when i said flash videos play fine, i clearly meant those that are optimized for mobile. I have realistic expectations for this hardware.

If you run custom ROMs like CyanogenMod or flash a custom kernel such as KK, you realise that most graphic issues are resolved. The problem lies mostly with the outdated/poor implementation of PowerVR drivers in Samsung's stock ROM. Custom ROMs & kernels are using newer drivers.
HM I tried to do that with the game in example (Real Racing 3) and it worked but I don't see how to do that with other games

HM I tried to do that with the game in example (Real Racing 3) and it worked but I don't see how to do that with other games

There's some patching tool for Modern Combat 4 that can tweak the graphics if I recall. I think you can check in the HTC One X forum.
But that's beside the point, the main point being that the PowerVR SGX540 GPU is starting to feel a little underpowered as it shows its age. Even if you could force the games to run on high or max settings, performance would take a big hit, in some cases, the game slows to an unplayable pace.
The reason why there are patches, tools & mods to manually tweak graphics settings is because of the fragmented nature of Android, some devices have powerful hardware but have not been properly supported by the game developer yet.

By the way, I have checked out the screenshots in this thread, they seem fine?
I would recommend the threadstarter to check out these games on other PowerVR SGX540 devices for a better comparison. If these games look better on other PowerVR SGX540 devices, then it would warrant further investigation.
As I mentioned already, the stock Samsung firmware for P31xx uses older PowerVR drivers according to various modders. By switching to custom ROMs or kernels that implement newer PowerVR drivers, users have reported better graphic performance/compatibility in games.
Well i had bad graphics with brotherhood of violence
I had installed brotherhood of violence game and was surprised to see the difference in graphics between s2 and tab2 for the same game. Graphics were soo terrible that i had tp uninstall the game from my tab and had to play on s2....
Well one possibility to have better graphics is to overclock the gpu(more computations per second) and then use patches for higher settings in games... as previously mentioned in the thread some developers ( mainly gameloff) seriously cap the performance...
u can use any custom kernel like kk's blackhawk/next kernel or dhollem kernel to overclock the GPU... see their respective threads for more info..
Our tabs GPU is clocked at 304mHz by default in stick and cm... these kernels allow overclocking 384mHz and 512mHz..
so the problem of frame rate drops when using patches can be solved by overclocking the GPU...
But we need to remember that Powervr540 is at least 4 yr old technology( i first saw it in galaxy s)... so we need to cut it some slack...
