Play GTA III with less lag

Hi everyone this thread is made to tell you how to play GTA III with less lag first at all you must be on gingerbread on bml with Antox latest kernel ( I have tested on: Valhalla Black, Barebone, SCOM and ICBIN and it give the same result, except Valhalla Black and SCOM that it seems to be more faster )
Now you must go to setcpu and overclocked with max. 1400mhz and min. 1400mhz, and put the governor in ondemand and I/O scheduler in deadline, then go to the governors settings and chance the up threshold to 80 ( I know I know that these settings arent "baterry friendly" lol but its just when you are playing games like GTA III)
And finally go to the GTA 3 app and in settings, display put the settings as the attachment and... voilà you have the fastest non supported gta in all the wild west! (if you have any problems pm me)
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED!!!

Have you tried chainfire3d and play with texture and size?

Yeah i have already tried out and the app doesnt starts (idk why that happens)

Not trying to bring your contribution down but seems kind of harsh to have to OC to 1.4 just to play GTA

Gta is a butch to run. I seen somebody post about it not running smooth on a dual core, I think it was the evo v.

I would try playing with chainfire settings and I wouldn't over clock past 1300mhz.

Try using different settings in the chainfire3d opengl settings. Reduce texture size, unroll texture, and reduce texture size. Play with those 3 options hopefully 1 will work for you. There is a post in the that is posted with different video plugins for different THD games.

Don't worry man if you want, try to play with the chainfire 3d app and use the settings I attached to the thread

Thanks for the info I'll tried the others video drivers tomorrow (I only have the nvidia game driver and it doesn't work)

Nah I don't play GTA and my everyday phone comes clocked at 1.5

OK anyway thanks for the tip, I will see if i play with the build.pro tomorrow and see if I can get more performance without having to sacrifice the battery life

Thanks for the tip. I got gta3 to run smoothly with these settings with voltage control on firestorm rom.

Also I got gta3 to run just fine on ICS Paranoid Hybrid Rom. The kernel it has will not oc. The only thing with that is you would need to turn off your auto sync and free up some memory. Also turn down the graphics settings to about somewhere in the teens like 15% is a good starting point.

SGS3 verizon gaming performance

Did anyone play 3d games like frontline commando? I need to know if it is just me, I have slow performance issues on this game sometimes. YES it depends on the amount of enemies, but even so it baffles me to see it go visibly sluggish as I play. I dislike playing it less than 60 fps, and though I can believe it won't reach that all the time, I want to know if it is true that it can't play in a consistent 60 fps.

Gonna try will let you know in a bit

Are you on the stock ROM? Lots of apps running in the background?
So far every game I've run as been very smooth

Thanks for your finds guys, I'm glad to find out that it does play very smooth. I am at stock rom on the verizon sgs3, I was going to jump the bandwagon of the international sgs3 owners, since its gpu is better. But I was wondering if adreno 225 gpu can hold itself for games like frontlinecommando, it has to be 60 fps all the time. SO you guys aren't running stock? Or have a lot of apps running in the background? I had it with many apps running, took all off except that game and it did improve the performance, but it still did go a bit laggy sometimes.

What are the best games out for the s3 graphics wise?

Batman,mc3, mass effect, shadowgun,asphalt 7.dead trigger.those games are great graphics, no lag, I'm on Verizon stock.

Phone freezes on games

Ive upgraded to the S3 gave my son my ns4g. He plays games on it and it keeps freezing up. Running rasbean. With matrix. Tried CM10 stable too.
Any suggestions on a rom and kernel?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

It is subjective to the game you (your son) are trying to play. Apart from that, check the CPU frequencies and use a bit of overclocked frequency. Also, try to shift the Governor

He played them on his evo4g I guess ill switch it back to that.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

try jellyshot rom with marmite kernel.you probably won't have any issues for games destinated for nexus s.i play gameloft games with severe demands and have no lags or forced closures.

Like others said previously, a little overclock can go a long way. Just be careful not to overdo it!

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.

Well the games are too
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 )

Guys, One of my friend is working as a senior developer at Samsung in Chennai.. he said there was not even one person voting for jelly bean for our SGR during a discussion about updates thing for all phones in a meeting...

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.

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.

I don't always play the CPU intensive ones like Dead Trigger, GTA, they're all too big to download on my 200KBps speeds. I do play the 2D ones like Bike Race, will 600Mhz be stable enough?

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.
