yea you can use it and everything, but since it's not supported, it wont work as smoothly asa you want it to be. If you uninstall it, go to the market and look it up, it'll say not supported on our device

ive been screwing with chainfire 3d trying to get it running better, ive gotten it to be on the verge of playable but it could be better, im gonna tinker with it some more and see what i can come up with. thanks for the info though.

Have you oc'd at all? Or set scaling to performance?

Off you are on a bml ROM (haven't cheeked out bare bonne so i don't know) you can flash lightning zap then adjust the governor settings... There are instructions on how to do so linked in the OP... That should smooth out fps refresh rate...

Im on the oc kernel so yeah i got that bad boy cranked up to 1400, it was my understanding that only ondemandx and smartass worked in regards to scaling on this particular kernel, but hey i'll try just about anything, if that makes a difference i will let you know.

Do you suppose id have better luck on a mtd rom in general? But ive installed lightning zap plenty of times, so i will give it a go and if i get something real smooth and playable i will report back how that came about. i appreciate all your work thanks.

What Rom and tweaks are you using?

Each phone is different, tweaks and such that improves your phone performance may not help the next phone. That is also why the game might be unplayable on your device. Also most newer roms have the various tweaks built in. So installing them twice can end up harming your performance.

I was in the same boat as OP. I used Gremlin Remover, and started from scratch, and now I'm getting decent performance from GTA. Still lags some. But not as bad as used to. Definately playable.

It works just fine for my wife.

Game lags corrected. (Atleast have stopped for me)

So yesterday i was researching about gamelags on STOCK ICS.
I found out this solution somewhere.
Initially i did not flash ardatdat's kernel
but
after doing this plus flashing ardatdats kernal lags have like vanished.
So just do this thing
1.Go to settings---> developer options and check 'Force GPU Rendering' and restart your phone.
2. Use Ardatdats kernel v4.2 beta 6 *HIGHLY Recommended*
Games tried :
1. Temple Run Brave (15 minutes of play..No lag)
2. World Cricket Championship (10 over game..no lag)
3. Farming Simulator
4. Plants vs. Zombies
5. Stick Cricket
6. Stick Tennis
7. Temple Run 2
8. Race, Stunt, Fight 2
9. Drag Racing 3D
10. Fruit Ninja
Hope it helps

+1 for this. Didn't try games, but it's good to have this option always set to on. Increases overall performance.

I tried gaming on stock ICS.
Did try unofficial JB on our phone. But then vibration problems.
Actually some nexus version had an ICS lag in scrolling and gaming.
So someone posted it as an answer.
I tried it for gamelags of our device and it worked.
(Obviously the nexus solution did not have include the ardatdats kernel part )
@adam sir: please help us with the vibration problem in Pacrom

Didn't notice it, but theoretically yes. It uses the GPU for rendering the UI. However, I have it always turned on, regardless of which rom I'm on.

So wasnt quite evident.
But i couldnt notice some MAJOR chunk of battery % vanishing in thin air
But the lags have finally gone on ICS (Hopes held high)
Rest lets see...
Bdw if you're on root, Antutu Battery saver is kinda good too for saving battery Has helped me

Yup, ardatdat kernel with performance governor, almost eliminates the Game stutters(I won't call them lags)

On ardatdat kernel use setcpu app to set both the cpu freq's to max(equivalent to performance governor). Then try a game...eg temple run...no lags.

But remember when u select performance then top level of clock will work and hence battery backup goes down.
@deep: buddy its my pleasure if i would suggest or make u understand the thing and become part of ur few moments.

Well if you know how to use SetCpu go ahead it will completely resolve the issue. (Never tried as i am not comfortable..but our senior members do recommend using it )
But if youre still not comfortable with the stutters we have to live with it till official JB arrives (maybe..on samsungs mercy :'( ) :sigh:
Atleast the frequency of the lags seems to go less.
My games even stuttered with PacRom :'( (stick cricket did )

Buddy apply it..and then restart your phone after 2-3 minutes.
If not working use setcpu and clock the minimum to 1000mhz i.e. Max=Min=1000mhz.

Subway surfer occasionally lags

Hi,
I want to know whether anyone of u also face the same problem..
Its not exactly lagging but there are occasional pauses of about half a second where the screen pause and when it resumes, the game moves ahead two to three steps.
Well I am a big fan of the game and my high score currently could have been much higher had such problem not been there :banghead:
Please help

First off, wrong section!
Second, this is a known problem in ICS for almost all Games. Use the search button.
Third, there's already a (possible/probable)solution available. Flash Ardatdat kernel from dev section and use performance governor. Again use search.
Fourth, Ask the Mod to move this thread to Q&A section yourself, before anyone else does.
Thanx!

No need, its done (or will be by the time you read this).
And FYI reporting is disabled within xda app because its not really compatible with the current report system.

Well earlier I had Ardatdat kernel flashed but faced the same issue.
Then I gave my phone for format in the service center and they reset it.
However, will using performance governor make any difference?

Yes buddy, it will. Coz performance Governor runs you phone at highest Clock & gives you better performance. But battery will drain very much

The game doesn't pause in note. Sometimes just the frames of the game video becomes noticeable
And in s2, I don't face any problem.
However, s2 has horrible touch sensitivity when compared to our precious sgr

Buddy S2 has problems..
Maybe not of games lagging...
But lags are there in the pinch gestures..
It overheats like anything while multi tasking
And try using SGS2 and SGR side by side...
difference is not even 10%.
I have both..
Same is with the note..
Plus use performance governers in the developer options (i have made a thread of how to run games smoothly without stutters read that..)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094279
Here you go
Plus if you know how to Flash ardatdat's kernel use it too..
rest here is the thread regarding that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983262
And few members faced problems with the superuser after flashing Ardatdats kernel (as ardatdats kernel automatically roots your phone)..
It is recommended that you first root your phone with the latest Superuser/SuperSu and then flash Ardatdat's kernel...

[Q] About lag

Hi. I want to ask about S2 Skyrocket lag. Is he really hangs or can endure? Or maybe it doesn't lag?

It really doesnt lag. Well, not for me it doesnt. Just make sure powersaving mode is off and the phone should perform fine. If it does lag, then you could always root and just overclock ur phone.

Honestly the lag depends on what up got running what hidden in the background if you underclock for me no lag unless I'm using hardcore

I have not experienced much lag. Typically it depends on your apps. If you installed too many apps, phone tends to slow down.

on 2.3.6 t lagged for me like crazy, but I was under clocked too so... right now I'm sitting at ~ 24 total with 3 onscreen on LTE only and clocked 384-1512 with smartassV2 with sio scheduler on blinkyrom and kko kernel. Absolutely no lag and waaaay better than stock performance

Best kernel for saving battery on 7.0?

I am on cm 10.1 and the battery isn't much different from stock. Also, the tab gets hotter than it did on stock. Any kernel that keeps the device cool and saves battery? I am willing to change ROMs if its CM's fault, but the ROM you suggest should be waaay better to convince me to change ROMs.

not sure whether it's kernel or CM10.1's fault! But i don't like 4.2.x based roms just yet, they're just not stable enough for my liking.
I use AOKP Milestone 1 on my P3110 and i was using it last night and battery was on 7 days and blah blah blah with 47% battery left! Admiting i only use it about 4 hours each day!

Do you play games????
If not go to processor clock settings and underclock it to say 800,600 or less.
Your tab will not get hot and you will get better battery life!!!
Also you can try ketut kernel...
And about other Roms cm10.1 is best one after stock 4.1.2(debloated)
And device getting hot is normal.

Bike Race runs fine at 300-600MHz. It still heats up quite a bit though.
Nobody else really uses my Tab but my mother for Candy Crush, and PIE doesn't even work. But since nobody else is recommending any more ROMs, it looks like I'll be stating on cm.
