Hi I have had this tablet for a couple of months now both running stock and custom roms and It runs Temple run 2 perfect, it also runs games like Dead Trigger very well. I personally found the stock Samsung 4.1.1 rom could be laggy on some graphic intensive games but I do have alot of apps installed now and it was faster when I had less apps. It is very smooth and lag free on the optimized custom roms tho so I think you will enjoy this tablet very much. P.s. There are a few nice Kernels for stock and custom roms which will squeeze more juice out of the cpu with over clock and gpu over clock to.

Mini-Review The Dark Knight Rises HD video

Hello all!
Here is my mini review of the game.
So the game is great...outstanding graphics etc. Things that need to be fixed...Performance. It is laggy and not only on the Note.
So if it lags on the GS3 then I expect an update to fix it soon...or at least I hope :laugh:
Also, it wouldn't hurt if people actually moved their mouths during cut scenes!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.
Dont forget to watch in HD

ive got this game on my gnote using the miui rom but its extremely laggy even if im oerclocked to 1.6 Ghz
MIUI is based on CM9/AOKP not Samsung ROMs correct?
If so, that is normal. Currently those roms cannot match the speed of Samsung ones specially since the kernal I am using has an overclocked GPU.
I am a CM9 fan from my Captivate days but for the NOTE, it is still not on par sadly.
Running 4.0.4 Classic rom with Notecore v7 EX
This game lags terribly and heats up the phone so much near the camera area, its crazy...
Tested it out on my wives Ipad 2 and it runs like a dream, looks better and also sits in multitask area and opens again no problem, why the hell with a 1.6mhz dual core super machine can we not get it to run anywhere near as good as bloomin god I hate apple, but they always get it right
Is not optimized for android. Check the GS3 having the same lag. If that one with a quad core and faster GPU cannot handle it then you know is the game. I hope Gameloft fixes it soon though as the lag does take away from the fun :\
my CPU is ocd to 1.6 and GPU to 400mhz (notecore v7, cleanote 3.1 rom), still laggy as hell. spent the last hour to tweak the setting using chainfire 3d, trying different plugins. and it seems better, but maybe its just a placebo effect.
def, need an update for performance...
I dont even try with chainfire. For now, Notecore is as good as it gets. The only thing that made me smile was seeing the GS3 with the same issues...a little bit of hope I mean, it still plays fine but I rather wait and play it better...hopefully.
To be honest even my newly updated Lets Golf 3 lags like hell, even though im OC'd to 1.6 with Notecore, I suppose its down to the shear size of the screen the graphics are having to push too.
Not sure these huge 3D games are ever going to run well on our notes
Nova 3 , Mass Effect 3 , Real Racing 2, etc..all run super smooth. Have you tried those?
Also, is screen resolution not size that matters.
What ROM you using?
Sent from a galaxy note far far away
Clean Note latest.
Aha, used to use clean note, was fantastic, will return to it
Sent from a galaxy note far far away
Sweet. Post back if you can, to see if you got some improvement.
Tried Cleanote 3.1 and Classic also tried stock ICS and GB still all lag pretty bad...
Then I stumbled across this rom
AniDroid-N7000 ICS ROM
This game certainly runs the smoothest, with a few lags but not as bad as the others i have tried, also tested Lets golf and it runs superbly smooth, not sure what he has done with this ROM, but it works for me.

agreed. what dev's do is just port the game over to android instead of starting from scratch thus giving android devices a bad name if the game does not properly run on android platforms. A quad core SIII should be able to handle this game with no lags or whatsoever. The galaxy note is not far behind the SIII so we should be able to play the game smoothly, a few fps drops is acceptable

Did you try the OCed kernel with Cleannote ?
I have tried that ROM you mentioned and the performance was not close to CleanNote with the OCed kernel in any of the highend games I tried before.
Its weird I tried Cleanote last night with OC Notecore EX ver 7 and this game ran exactly the same as when I tried it with Classic ROM with the same Notecore.
Now this morning i am testing AniDroid-N7000 ICS ROM and my findings are very much better, cant explain why, would love to know. I can actually play this game now and enjoy it, Ok its not quite as smooth and nice as the IPAD version but then thats not our Notes fault I guess, its down to the production of the game on Android, would love to hear others experiences with other roms.
Another point with Dead Trigger I was finding graphics set to high I would occasionally get screen freezes, but with the AniDroid rom it runs smooth, not had a screen freeze.
That is very odd indeed. I just played Dead Trigger for a while yesterday with the very high settings (Tegra 3) without a hiccup. In fact, that will be my next video
Gotta love how everyone's experience can be so different even with the same phones.
What OC settings do you use ?
I just leave Notecore defaults. Sometimes change to pegasusq maybe but everything else I leave as default for the OC kernel.

is it only me or everyone? (lag in most games)

i usually feel lag in most of the 3d games like MC3 Fallen nation,nova 2,3 , asphalt 7 bla bla bla,,, and when i see videos on youtube running the same games with neo v , arc, desire HD, they look a lot smoother ,,
why does it lag on my desire s????
are you running stock Rom with sense? It was one of the reasons I rooted mine, solved the lag issue straight away.

Well if you're running the rom that's in your signature it's no surprise considering it's using the cm9 kernel which is still in alpha stages. You're not going to get the same performance on a rom that doesn't have the best drivers and optimized kernel compared to the stock gingerbread or stock sense ICS roms such as the incredible s rom that was ported over using our ICS 3.0 sense kernel. If you're using the stock rom then it could be that you're nearly full on memory or you have to many apps running. Those games are really resource heavy games and the desire s is only a 1ghz single core device. In today's standards that's becoming quite poor. But the games shouldn't be lagging too much. You're going to get lag on nova 3 and asphalt 7 because they are brand new so they will be optimized for dual core devices on ICS

I'm running asphalt 7 and nova 3 with no lag whatsoever, ok I'm oc but only to 1250. Don't know why they would lag, only thing I can think of is the sense elements taking ram

I must of installed over 20 different roms when I had my desire and I didn't find one that was as "smooth" as the stock rom. Maybe a little bit quicker but not as smooth. I think the main problem could be someones view on what they think is laggy and what they think isn't. There are people out there who think anything less than 50fps is laggy which is ridiculously smooth or people like me who think anything less than about 25fps is laggy. It would help if the Op replied to this thread to let us know what rom he is running
Im running project X
4.0 sense 4 rom. Before i was running ice cold sandwich ,but that was scary ,bcoz my device all ways frozed during running heavy games.

what rom r u using?
Currently I'm running codename, and before this blindIce, Blindbean and Reaper. I've avoided all sense Roms like the plague. No offense to the devs just don't like sense anymore.

[Q] Games lag on htc desire s?

Iam searching for a good stable htc desire s rom. That can play heavy games like, Gangster Rio, Nova 3, Asphalt 7, Gta 3. As smooth as possible!
I have tried many roms but they r all bad in heavy games. (Sometimes Crash, Freeze)
and the xperia play has exactly the same spec. as my htc desire s. And it doesn't lagg? How is this possible?

By the way i got know: ICE DS v.6.0 Rom
Android Version: 4.0.4
Sense: 3.6
Kernel: 3.0.46-Ck1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
And i tried today gangster rio. and it worked way smoother than the other roms. but there is still a bit of irritation lag here and there?
i even overclocked it to 1,5 ghz. the fps raised but. however it's still laggs.
Can someone please help me or give me some advice to run games smooth on a good rom!
By the way sorry for Pretty bad english!
I couldn't realy help you, but i can say I'm playing Asphalt 7 and Temple Run on my DS. I'm uing the sam ROM like you and there are no laggs, crashes or freezes. In case of the other games I could not say anything.
Did you flash FULL_WIPE_DS befor installing ICE_DS? Maybe there is gone some performance?
AOSP ROMs will be better for this case.
Not sure how they will run on JB ROMs, but I had great performance on CM7 a long time ago. Not lag-free, DS hardware isn't capable enough, but manageable.

yes!! same here,, i bought nfs most wanted today,, played one race ,, it was laggy, went on youtube , watched a video of xperia play running the same game with few lags and running like a boss!! then i thought it must be my rom or something,, went again on youtube , watched a video of desire hd running the same game ,, and it was also lagging ,just as mine,, its kinda weird , play have the same specs as compared to our desire s, and 256 mb less ram , still it runs the game smoother,,,,,,,,,

^^^ What he said ^^^ I don't play games on my phone much, but never had a problem either on pure CM7 or on Reaper. The latest games are going to struggle as devs are optimising them for quad-core devices, but that's to be expected.

Firstly, you are playing modern games which are designed for the newer phones - quad-core etc.
Secondly, there have been at least 10 threads this month from people asking for the best ROM for gaming. Try a non-ICS ROM - Reaper, CM7.2, Endymion.
Agree with Simon, but I think a lot of the lag is actually due to sense running in the background. I've noticed lag all all sense roms granted not to the extent to which you describe. Reaper is a lovely rom for gaming though.

[Q] Does Dead Trigger lag only for me? o.O

Hello guys i am new to XDA and i have just a question in mind......
Before purchasing my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 i saw some gaming reviews as i am a gamer and games like Dead Trigger [My Fav.] and MC4 did not lag at all but when i finally purchased it Dead Trigger showed noticeable but negligible lag. I did not expect lag from this! Am i the only one? Need help guys
Info:-
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3100
Rooted
No custom ROM installed!
All dead?
All dead?
The graphic really lagging. So just play with Note
No lag at all with mine.
Even when I was in stock 4.0.3 I used to play MC4 and Deadtrigger just fine. The auto-graphic was set to low, but I manually changed to high and also didn't have any problem with lag.

Our SGT2 7.0's family tab doesn't "lag" unless if I'm changing guns. Its the same with my iPad
(All on High graphics setting). The zombie in the black suit/jacket spits out a ball with blood on the iPad version whereas its only blood on Android.
It was smooth at low graphics!

It was though smooth on low graphics but i want to play with high graphics. Will installing a custom ROM help me?
The lag is negligible but it irritates me
If i had a good pocket i could get a Note for me

Custom Roms do help but have you tried Samsung's 4.1.2 yet? I don't have negligible lags on it but changing guns.
You should have gotten the Nexus 7, its round about the same price but a lot more fragile.
Doesn't have negligible lags even while changing guns unless graphics is on Tegra 3 settings (pity)
