Question about entropy - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, its been a while. I've seen a thread here discussing this and I would like to know more about it. I mean does it really work? I have Seeder installed on my phone set to lite mode. I couldn't seem to discern if its really working or not... is there some other way to find out if its really working? I got a phone running on stock JB 4.2.2, clocked at 1.2Ghz quad core with 1GB of ram and so far so good. Been playing games like Dead Trigger2, NBA 2K14 with no lag or whatsoever, of course there are occasional few hiccups every now and then when scrolling on the menus but nothing serious. The reason I installed Seeder is to make sure that it will still run smoothly in the long run. Any insights are greatly appreciated, thanks.

[Q] G Tablet Freezes

My g tab is an amazing device as all you can attest to. However ive been running cm7 and now cm7.1 RC for a month now. I get random freezes constantly. Itll boot up and then once i get to using the tavle whether scrolling through a video or the app drawer itll freeze up.And can't do anything unless I do a hard reset ive searched endlessly for answers but got nothing ...please help..
All I can tell you is this. Cm7 has an extremely high volume of reports of problems. I'm amazed its still so popular.
I'm running CM7.0.3 stable for Netflix sake. Time to time I got freezes in Dolphin HD 5.6.
Sometimes I just wait and Dolphin would FC or tablet would go into reboot when I tried to put it in hibernation.
Well, as far as I know and my research on this and another problems - it's a nature of Android OS (not mature OS and buggy software for it).
Though I never got freezes from Netflix.
PS: might be overclock CPU to 1.4GHz is too much for your tablet. Try lower it to standard 1Ghz.

nope. I'm running calk clem and have not had a single freeze. Calk and clem really struck gold with this one.
I run 7.0.3 and it has been the most stable Gingerbread ROM I have tried. No problems at all and much better battery life - Love it!

[Q] graphics and performance issue

Hi buds
I bought my xXoom recently, about two weeks, and i been having some questions aboutit.
I dont know if there is really some problem, but i think i should askfirst.
First of all,...
I love to play games and, yesterday, i installed Shadowgun on my device. It was quite cesappointing to see that it runs not with that beautiful graphics, it looks like it needs aanti-aliasing, and the game is runing in 30- fps.
Ok,i tried other games too, and all of them looks like there is a lack of anti aliasing. Is this normal?
Another issue ihave is the web browsing, using default browser and dolphin hd... i must sayit is nothing smooth it freezes for some milliseconds, take a lot of timeto load pages( my internet is 15mb).
And posting this thread using xoom i get a lot of delay while typing.
Please, guys, is this the normalperormane of stock, or there is anyproblemand i should seek RMAA or warranty?
Desperatly need to know. Thanks for the attention.
I hate the stock performance since I've rooted and running overclocked cpu/gpu from almost as soon as I got the Xoom. TIAMAT makes the Xoom fly.
for xda, chg it to classic view.. scroll to the bottom n u will c this option

About the jaggies you're talking about...are you using the zoom in/stretch to fit feature with games/apps that are still only sized for phone screens? Otherwise, the Xoom has a good gpu and graphics are quite smooth if in the right resolution. Also, Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) may fix this issue as it is bridging the divide between phones and tabs.

Hey, bud.
Here you are helping ,me again!
IF there was a "10x Thanks" Buttom i would use it!! =)
Man, i didn't understood the "are you using the zoom in/stretch to fit feature with games/apps that are still only sized for phone screens?".
I'm using Xoom as it came for me. =)
What i really noticed, and, for me, is strange, is that on Youtube, i watched a video of a guy running shadowgun and the performance/overall graphics was a lot better.(you know, what i noticed is that there is a lack of anti-aliasing on the game running on mine) than mine.
And when i run 9mm HD, the situation is worst. It runs at like >30fps.
Well, i will give a try on the root later(just gathering some courage =D) and will post the results.
I really hope an improvement, man, otherwise, such HD games would be impossible to play.
And another problem i noticed, when using the Xoom for a lotta time is that it heats a lot. Not too much , to burn my hands, and that i must to Shut it Down, but enough for me to put it in front of a Fan.
And one last question...
With the Root and OC, the processor's lifetime will lower??
Thanks again, man.

If the app or game is only configured for a phone's resolution, you might see it 'blown up' which may show jaggies. Do you see a little x icon in the system tray,near the clock? If you touch it, it will give you a choice whether to zoom to fit or stretch to fit. Zoom to fit usually looks better.
On the lagginess you are experiencing, I think rooting and overclocking the cpu plus using an over clocked gpu kernel will resolve that problem. If you're running hot, you may be pushing it a bit hard. If you root, you can set a temperature profile so that your clockspeed will decrease once you hit a pre-defined temp.
We don't really know if overclocking will make a lot of difference in the cpu's life...just enjoy at a stable oc speed and if it burns out, get a newer tab.

Rogers HTC One XL very laggy in games

I dont know if it is just my device but if im playing pretty much any game it is very choppy and laggy GTA 3 is constant lag cannot play because of it. temple run will miss turns and jumps due to lag. Im very disappointed with this phone i love the screen on it and thats all i can say about it right now . it heats up in minutes doing anything on it battery life is low on benchmarks its telling me the cpu is running around 1100-1200 mhz is anyone else having any of these issues with theres?
I have the HOX L from Rogers (have been for the past 2months). I can safely say that I've had no lags in games,
neither do i
I noticed your roooted and running a custom Rom have you tryed playing any these games completely stock
yes i'm on stock and games run fine lol
It works quite well on stock. No lag or screen issues. Might just be you.

Anyone tried the app GameBooster?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.gamebooster&hl=en_GB
I know that the same changes can be achieved through other (free) means , but i was wondering if anyone tried it?.. i have a friend that swears it works.
Yeah I have it on my phone and I'm using it together with Ram Booster v1.25 (need to test it without the latter to see just how much that contributes). The result is I'm playing NOVA 3 in all it's full HD glory with very little lag. The game does run a 'tad' bit slower in general but because it's uniform throughout the game it just feels like it's the way it's meant to be played.
Really? Wow thats great to hear , i might buy it to see if its really worth it.
Have you tried using autokiller , ram manager or V6 supercharger though?
Looks interesting. Would love to see if there's a free alternative though.
Okay maybe its a placebo effect , but im getting playable framerates when i use it in combination with Ram Manager pro on hard gaming, playing The Amazing Spiderman . AFAIK Gamebooster also does something similar to RMP , but it seems to be less agressive .
I also have supercharger , but i only use it to lock my launcher , nothing else.
Hey Drivenby, been a long and busy day at the studio so haven't had an opportunity to get back to you till now. Haven't used autokiller , ram manager or V6 supercharger, will have a look at them. I am using Chainfire 3D Pro however to increase the graphical quality of some of my games (like NOVA 3), but you probably figured that already.
This all shuts down all the other apps and even prevents the them from trying to boot and regains system memory.
It has its own overcloked setting after ultra gaming mode but I then can normally be change it. I really recommend this app.

Tried it with Metal Slug 3 but got to the same bit as I usually get to before the phone starts lagging like hell (Was In Ultra Mode Aswell)
Yeah it really depends on what type of system you are running . The app does work for some games but its obviously not adding more ram or doing the developers job of optimizing a game for our specific GPU . Some games do seem to work better with Ram Manager Pro on hardgaming , rather than Gameboost.
And ultra doesnt really overclock , it just sets the governor to performance , as far as i can tell. The dev claims it lowers other processes too but i dont know how to check if thats true or not.
on my opinion , gamebooster is better that rambooster and ram manager, it decreased glitch on my phone , now it's easy to play BATMAN

The Governor is set to performance And cru speed changed to 1.2Ghz

I honestly doubt that an app can overclock my stock kernel so easily.
Besides , Rom manager shows 1024 and gover performance. Nothing about 1.2ghz
This app made some games that ran smooth blotchy when I set to hardcore. I have been running v6 for a long time so it may be fighting each other for control. Hard to say. Still thanks for sharing. Sure a lot of people will like this app while others maybe not so much

Yeah about v6, AFAIK it changes the oom kill values, which game booster does too, so there might be some conflict.
On my experience v6 is excellent to increase performance with the Android ui and multitasking, it makes everything really snappy but at a cost.
Let's say you have the regular stock launcher and have 3 o 4 widgets and a billion icons... If you have supercharge your launcher you might make it nearly impossible for the system to kill when needed.
I think that running most games, you should have no problem with this, but with the likes of recent game loft games that are known resource hogs, you really need everything the device has to offer, and while killing the launcher might make your device post game laggy for a couple of seconds, the whole point of the xperia play is to play games and if you can't do that well, it kinda defeats the purpose.
Right now I'm trying to keep the lightest configuration possible, while still getting everything I need and more.
Currently using lightning launcher, because it's fast, simple and runs with as little as 6 mb. Only one widget too. I guess I could try super charging it, but android has never killed it that I noticed, or maybe it just redraws super quickly.
Personally went back to ram manager pro, I think the ultra settings for game booster are not optimal for gaming or something, I swear I'm getting more ram but less performance, which doesn't really makes sense but whatever.
Also it has a couple of bugs that need to be ironed out. I'll check it again when the next version comes out.

Will this work with phone with locked boot loaders but rooted? I really want to know because it said of but I have a stock kernel but I'm rooted.

Iview 420TPC-TW Rom an bootloader support help

I everyone,
A wile back I bought an IVIEW 420TPC-WT and its a nice little device for tinkering but its slow and unstable out of the box. I was able to install Nova launcher and no-frills cpu on it and it ran better but the stock rom is terrible and the device runs out of its 512 Mb ram quickly. The apps crash and the devices freezes. Even my HTC Incredible runs better than this.
Does anyone know how to make a good working and light weight rom with possibly a custom boot loader for it?
There is already root that works great. Apps are starting to not run on it anymore due to its limitations. Its fast but the stock rom does not handle the hardware correctly.
I don't mind testing anything if it helps others with similar questions.
