Has anyone tried an app, such as the Gamers GLTool, that claims it boosts the CPU & GPU, and various other system performance tuning? I've been looking at paying for the pro app (the free just blocks the notifications and stuff). Does anyone have any experience with these sort of apps? I fully understand that the 3a is not meant for hardcore gaming, but if it's possible to boost permanence a tad, it would aid in a couple more graphic intense games I'm interested in playing.

n3wgames released a port for android which works very well!
This game is availaible on android market for a very fair price, though originally intended for tablets running honeycomb with tegra chip.
I have bought this game for my tablet and works wonderfully. I have thought of trying this on older hardware to see how this game demanding is.
AND IT WORKS!
I am successfully running this game on typhoon ROM HD2 with chainfire 3D(NVIDIA plugin) There are few problems, but it's nothing hard to fix. Current issue is with S3TC texture compression and rather slow emulation of NVIDIA Tegra part. Looking a way to overcome this.
I'm trying to fine tune graphic settings to:
-get most of detail on my tablet
-reduce quality on HD2 to improve gameplay experience
For example you can tweak some options under
/sdcard/android/data/com.n3vgames.android/trainz/files/userdata/settings
#globalmodule.txt
for example draw-distance can be set higher to increase viewing distance with cost of few FPS, also good/bad-weather-fog can have dramatic impact on game speed. In game options are quite lacking and doesn't have all tweaks needed.
I'm still looking for some settings to add in this file.
Thanks for adreno 200 support
Trainz is adreno200 compatible BUT you must use NVIDIA plugin or you'll get white textures. I'm looking atm for a way to disable S3TC texture compression, it's major performance hogger.

So on a dhd it will work OK then if it works on a hd2

So when using the FPS meter on the Shield , as well as trying out different emulators that I have, I've noticed a few things
1. At the top left when the FPS meter is enabled , the max I have ever seen was 29FPS for an emulator(PPSSPP).
2. I seem to have different issues with streaming, when it comes to emulators
a. When streaming PPSSPP, games run pretty much perfectly. Though i've noticed menu's being slower, in terms of gameplay it seems perfect. Shows 29 FPS for the games I've tried out.
B. When streaming a game like DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3, I get framedrops. This is for Dolphin and PCSX2.
-For the Dolphin version, it'll show 28 FPS at first, and then drop to 25-26 FPS at many points.
-For the PCSX2 version, it'll show between 19-20 FPS. But have framedrops in the gameplay
- FOR PCSX2, when I stream a game like Infinite World, and SMT Nocturne it seems to run great however(they both show 20FPS on the meter, but for some reason I can't notice a huge performance hit when it comes to those games). For anyone who isn't aware, IW is a DBZ 2d fighting game, and SMT is an RPG.
3. The basic thing is this. Are certain games from emulators subject to not having perfect or good experiences for streaming? Is it normal to not see anything past 29-30FPS when it comes to streaming emulators? Because if I stream PC games, I can see higher than 30FPS. But when I set the option for 60FPS and the bitrate, for emulators I've never seen it go higher than 29-30FPS
Or could this be some type of bug I only have? Any Shield Owners here who stream emulators, can put in their input? For anyone who doesn't know how the FPS meter shows, I believe you just press the Shield screen twice with 2 fingers, when Gamestreaming.
My set up is a laptop with a GTX660m. Using ethernet.5ghz. No slowdowns on the laptop when gamestreaming, only on the Shield.
The emulator is at fault. All emulators are slow even when played directly on a PC. There are so many computations being done not just for the game but to emulate the device the game is played on that it is almost mind boggling. Emulation has always been faulty and iffy at best on even the highest end PC's now add to that you are pushing that across a wireless stream and you compound the issue even more.
Having no problems here streaming PCSX2 to Shield with a GTX770,
streaming Final Fantasy XII and even God of War 2 at constant 60fps with no probs.
Your mobile GPU might be the problem that bottlenecks the Emulator while streaming.
I have Moto G2 XT1068. As most of you guys must be aware that a majority of android games do not provide graphics settings. Instead, they auto detect the device configuration and set the graphics accordingly. For example, games like angry birds transformers, need for speed: no limits, assassin's creed pirates, modern combat 5-- all these games don't have any option for setting the graphics level in the game. They auto detect the device as low end and run on terrible graphics. Main thing is that the game renders on lower screen resolution instead of 720p. What I want is that they run at the native resolution of the screen.
I tried using device faker for faking device model and all, didn't work. I used GL Tools, faked CPU/GPU/RAM, didn't work. Is it possible to achieve what I am trying to, in any possible way? Can GL Tools really help? (I don't really understand the options it provides)-- is there any configuration that can force the games to detect the device as high end and run at good graphics?
I am having the same problem overclocking cpu/gpu didnt work.

You could try making build.prop edits to change the device model.
This would make apps believe you have a different phone than you actually have (basically it would be the same trick as people used to get Google Assistant on any device).
Overall the device is good but having come from an iPhone7+ certain games worked perfect out of the box. My device update to 7.1.1 so I can't root. I tend to use my device as a gaming device more than anything so this lag is annoying on graphics intense games. Is there any way to adjust settings on stock to help with this issue?
You can actually increase the gaming performance for games with video graphics, on all or any smartphone, be it Android, iOS iphones/ipads, Blackberry, Nokia etc. So if you are experiencing poor Video Game Graphics, maybe due to the type of mobile phone you are using or may be from the game itself.

Whenever you are playing most of these games on your smartphones, and you notice they phones are still functioning very well, no overheating or any misbehave of any sort, then that simply means your mobile phone still have some extra power reserved. Your work now is to turn the reserved power into use in order to improve and make a better performance on that smartphone image quality. Are you experiencing overheating on your smartphones before now? If yes, then we have got you covered with some tips to stop such from happening to your entire android device, even in hot weather conditions. The solution can be found in our previous post on how to stop Android overheating system problems.

I cannot find that option.
This large text for... Almost nothing. Smaa x4 is an anti aliasing code. It cost many CPU and GPU ressource.
If you have a bad GPU with low framrate don't touch Smaa setting. Just download 2D games.
If you have a high end smartphone you can check this but you may not notice any "boost", some games already use smaa or any equivalent (sometimes more accurate and efficient).
