Question Boost Gaming Performance (No-Root) - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Curious if anyone knows the best way to get maximum performance in games (100% ignoring battery saving and device heating).
I want to crank my games at max settings without worrying about being throttled. Should I disable Game Booster and GOS using ADB or use them in conjunction with Game Plugins? What settings should I use?
Any help would be great.

but which game do you want to give that improvement to, or which game has lousy performance, because a game like "call of duty" depends more on the Internet for the pin, or a game like minecraft for some HD texture.

Diablo Immortal

Tried thermal Gardian from GoodLock? and setting it up to max heat/power?

Yes, unsure what that is actually doing though compared to not having it at all.
The consensus I'm getting is nobody is really sure. GOS at one time did throttle games but since March 2022 supposedly not anymore. In Game Booster and Game Plugins, they both rely on services from GOS. Through GOS, Game Plugins and Game Booster seem to be doing the same thing except 100% unclear about exactly what that is.
The other option is disabling GOS, Game Booster, and uninstalling Game Plugins and just close all apps and maximize memory prior to launching games myself.
If anyone has actual concrete info on the specs here id appreciate it. Through, descriptions provided by the service themselves, the answer is not clear.

I use a game boosting app that somehow worked, I even bought the premuim version, I didn’t see much (still saw some very little) improvement over free, but you could count it as a donation. This is app. I don’t not vouch for it, just sharing my story.

I have the pro version of this app and noticed some decent improvement as well. I think these apps just do a good job pushing all memory towards whatever app you have listed. At least with that I know I'm not being throttled, unlike with GOS. It's just too suspect.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm amazed this game is free!
Does somebody know why it is free? I don't see any in game purchases yet...
I want developers to make some money so they will make another game later
Thnx for the headsup! Gonna chck it out!

its admob supported as of the moment
and yes the ad placements is sometimes distractive on gameplay as it blocks the whole screen
but i agree with you
they should make a paid version soon or else these devs'd go bankrupt
Is there an Inotia 1 or an Inotia 2 for our devices? Or was it only for iPhone/iPod/iPad?
Seems so many RPGs these days are really into these anime-style characters. It works for some games, but it's getting old.
I applaud the developers, though on their technical merits -- I'd just like to see some variety.
Does anyone know why the game needs so many permissions?

I don't think the quality of many of these games is very high though. They're all missing the mark. This looks good though and I hope we see more quality JRPGs. All we get are lousy, cliche knock offs with crappy graphics.
Thanks for sharing!

Why does a game need my phone number and serial number?
Why does it need to know what apps are running on my phone?
Why does it need Market Billing Service permission? Isn't it free?
Why does it need to mess around with my network settings?
Of course, full internet access is required to transmit this info out into the ether.
I'm not going to try it until these questions are answered. Call me paranoid, but I think this game requires too much.
Thoughts when compared to zenonia? I was a huge zenonia fan and that game set the bar pretty high for other anime styled rpgs

1. This is required for almost all games especially when they are resource extensive. Because it seeks permission of the android OS to kill cached running apps to make room for itself.
2. IDK
3. It needs this one because this app is ad supported. How can it get ads if its not connected to the internet?

Yeah, I think so too. Zenonia series was great, along with Illusia, another good game from Gamevil. For me, the best goes to Spectral Souls. It is beautiful 2.5D, good (super long) story, many characters (85!), for a tactical turn based rpg. Purely revamped classic.
But pretty costly though.

Shadowgun

I can confirm that Shadowgun works with Chainfire on the Xperia Play, gamepad also works! Unfortunately, the only functional buttons are the d-pad and the square and cross buttons, so you'll have to use the touchscreen to look around and switch weapons.
how smooth is it?
interesting, i used the CF patch, and the game says: "Not supported device [Exit]"
for me it crashes....
it will only go through the opening movie then crashes, what settings are you using so the rest of us can enjoy some shadowgun goodness
Same here, opening movie then crash.

Saw this on another website for the game.
"Non tegra users use this method works for me
enable NVIDIA OpenGL driver then "Disable MAp Buffer emu" and "Enabled Reduce texture size" ! on chainfire3D"
I do not have the game or chainfire so I cannot say if this really works. Just thought I would share what I found in hopes that it will work, becuase if it does I will seriously sign up for it.

played around with it some more and the settings i used were unroll textures, reduce texture size , and disable mapbuffer emu.

Guys the devs of shadowgun said there will be a non tegra version out in a couple of days.

from what i read from the other forums, once you killed the baddies you must not see their corpse slowly disappearing on your sight, or else you gotta do a battery pull.

Deathsmiles out now - Not XPO optimized

I hate to bring up games that aren't Xperia Play optimized but what I'm wondering is: is it possible to set up the controls with gamekeyboard? I've never been too good with GKB and have not been able to figure out how to configure a profile with a game that allows a full range of touch movement. None of the Cave games are optimized but Deathsmiles seemed like a logical choice being a hori. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and for anyone wondering the lite version had no slowdown on my device so much like Resurrection the game should run just fine even with more bullets thrown at you in later levels.
The lite version of DDP Resurecction ran fine on my XP. To be honest, I ain't even mad this game isn't XPO because it controls like a dream! Just get it seriously, if you remotely like shmups you can't go wrong with Cave. Also, dat soundtrack:

Is Bug Panic any good? I'm honestly not that in to Deathsmiles so without optimization I'd say it's far out of my price range.

Plays well, but has on screen controls, with the movement one being adjustable.
You can leave it as stuck(original), smart(you touch the screen somewhere, they will appear), or autocorrect,, which I dunno, lets you move with depending on where you touch.
G-Gee / Cave won't optimise Deathsmiles, I just can't see it.
Besides the onscreen controls work like a pad anyway, so movement etc is fine.
Deathsmiles is a great game. There is a demo version for free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.vividruntime.gg_1652
Mushihimesama has a free demo too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.vividruntime.gg_1650

Super Touch App- Reduce Lag and make you touch screen smooth.

I did not make this app, I'm just helping a China Developer to post on XDA.
Super smooth on Android touch screen, avoid content not-follow-up problems.
Review :http://www.phonearena.com/news/Spot...d-up-your-sluggish-Android-smartphone_id75851
AndroidCommunity: Super Touch optimizes touch function, improves battery consumption. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIw1fjbuCg
Facebook page : https://m.facebook.com/supertouchapp/
1. Magnificent screen sliding respond, easy sliding on screen and no longer delay.
2. Incredibly smooth on zooming web pages or images as well as any operations needing to zoom.
3. Sliding to all directions is unbelievably quick and smooth.
4. Unbelievably quick and smooth lists rolling.
5. Much faster launching and loading Apps.
6. Speedy and accurate typing experience.
7. Much rapid on playing all sorts of games.
8. The first power-saving optimization app that does not affecting phones’ performance.
Super Touch allows you to experience unprecedented smooth smart phones.
Main functions:
One of this App’s main functions is to allow Android devices sliding much quicker and smoother, which will solve the problem of slow drag.
Sliding, dragging and zooming are far smoother; content follows up your fingertip; switching columns is also a lot quicker.
Lists rolling is extraordinarily speedier and smoother, typing is incredibly easier.
There is also a very practical power-saving optimization function, which doesn’t sacrifice the performance of the phone.
Important Instruction:
720P resolution is recommended a level of 600-1314
1080P resolution is recommended a level of 1520-3998
2K resolution with Qualcomm’s GPU is recommend a level of 5186-6998
2K resolution, non- Qualcomm GPU is recommended a level of 600-1520 ( For example, Samsung S6 and Series Edge )
2K or 4K resolution with Qualcomm GPU both can use level 9998.
The above information is only reference; please adjust to the most appropriate level for specific phones.
1. Higher the GPU ability is, the smoother it will be within a higher level, relatively, a high level with a poor GPU is less effective.
2. After launching touch optimization and being enabled, it can work without running in background (about 1 minute to take effect, depend on CPU’s performance)
3. Do not switch off auto start-up, every time rebooting system requires a auto optimization permission.
There will be a small portion of extra power consumption while enabling the optimization system, and after power consumption will go back to normal.
Advanced function is a smooth level of 300 – 9998, it can be open to use when a phone reaches the standard.
No Root permission needed for all functions.
Sliding optimization will be disabled for some devices while charging, (system controls the effect when it disables) It will be notified of the optimization system disabled while charging.

Im using this app and idk whether it helps to reduce stuttering while scrolling on my phone. But im using a custom lock screen and the lock screen doesn't show during unlock when i enable thiss app. Lock screen shows when this app is disabled.

Agreed with the above poster.
And in your video, the app/optimization is "disabled" by plugging in your charger. Ive experienced personally some of my devices become laggier when connected to charger maybe because of actions/apps which are running when plugged in.

How is your experience so far with the Quest ?

Hello!
As you know it is one of the futuristic technologies, Please share your experience so far!
Games - Screen resolution - Sound - ergonomically...etc
Thanks!
The best thing I think I have ever bought! Has a few software quirks but is solid . Especially the tracking(hand, head and your physical location in space). Side loading any APK via Oculas Screen is a god send. My brain has a hard time remembering it not reality. And there a lot of games and apps already via oculas and third-parties. Can't recommend it more. Got to be seen to be believed.
Absolutely love it. I got to test it a while before it was released, and I absolutely knew I needed to have one. Beat Saber is amazing, and everyone that I've shown it to was really impressed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get robo recall to load, so there seem to be a few bugs waiting to be ironed out (might be because I'm traveling between Europe and the US, and the store had some issues with the location?)
I Must say iv loving the quest so far. coming from a psvr the freedom of no wires is amazing. somebody has already mentioned the sidequest pc app, the helps you upload and download software from your quest, also gives you access to the full android on the quest, so you can link Bluetooth joypads and head phones. my quest also had 5 hidden demos of which 2 still worked this was taking up about 2Gb of storage and i could remove them via the full settings app which i now have access to. i have also loaded on some 3D Movies and find that skybox was the best app to view them, with it, its easy to select SBS or Under/Over and the soundtrack. As for Games Beatsaber already allows for custom tracks using the Questsonginstaller, iv not get over 100 tracks on my quest. and as for emulation, i really like the Virual Boy Emulator of Oculus Go which works perfect on quest in full 3D, but you do need to pair a Bluetooth controller to use it. but its great. As for the normal quest games, Vader Immortal, Face Your Fears 2 and Robo Recall are the main ones iv tried. they are all great, the tracking was great and now been able to do full room scale was a game changer for me. the games make visual compromises to get them working, but still looked good and ran great for me. if a new games was coming to both PSVR and QUEST i would get the quest version not just for the ease of setup and the visual hit was`t that much of a deal for me.
Thats about it, iv loving it so far, there are still a few more quest games i want come payday. If you want to try any of the above things above like me, i recommend looking up a tutorial on youtube and they tend to have all the links you need in the description.
cheers

A fair number of them can actually be pulled via adb and sideloaded on the quest
I was in 2 minds about the quest or the rift s.
so glad i went with this - as if you sideload ALVR its basically a wireless Rift as well. And i have essentially a mobile VR gaming console - i can take it to a field and simply go mad!!
simply love it! jsut need to know how to pair bluetooth gamepads ?

just search for the APK file and OBB if needed
sideload the apk and copy over the OBB (if needed)
I have a very annoying issue. Probably anybody faced it and found a solution.

Memorable experiences?
Exercise.
Eye contact in a porn video. Kind of frightening.
RecRoom paintball.
Chatting to what sounds like a 4 year old in BigScreen.
The pirating warning thread. We don't know this device well and I worry about the messiness of sideloading with a company like Facebook and Oculus. What data do they really have? I'm really looking forward to seeing how this thing is pulled apart.

you bring up a very interesting point with regards to piracy and FB.
You almost think....by making this thing on Android, and making it so easy to register as a developer and sideload apps - they have made it almost too easy to simply sideload games rather than pay some of the exageratingly overpriced tags!
Some of the games are extremely good IMO - namely:
Superhot
Creed
Sairento
Vadar Immortal.
there are many more which are very good also.
Yes the porn is scarey - i have stopped using it for fear of developing expectations in real life which are unattainable looool
So far I am pretty impressed with this headset. One thing I do not like is the head strap that comes with it. Totally ruins the whole experience for me. My HTC Vive is pretty much obsolete compared to the headsets I have now, so I used my 3D printer to print some adapters and put my Vive headstrap with the integrated headphones on my Oculus Quest and it is so much more comfortable. I wish the library for apps and games available were a little more robust, but overall they have some really good games that showcase this headset. Last night I just realized I could turn guardian completely off, so I was able to enjoy playing Red Matter while sitting comfortably in my recliner without my legs activating guardian because I was out of the play area. I did not think I would be enjoying this headset as much as I have been. It's not perfect, but definitely worth what I paid, for what it is.

Hey buddy - if you use sidequest you can sideload all sorts of developer apps.
as you had a Vive i would recommend you use ALVR - this will enable you to use the quest as if it was a Vive or a Rift and play all your PC games with it - and the best thing is it works wirelessly!
Enjoy!!
I have used sidequest to load Root Explorer, Virtual Desktop, and a settings.apk I found for android online, to access some of the extra settings that are initially hidden. Not that there is much you can actually do, with out rooting and/or installing TWRP or something. I tried using Virtual Desktop to use the Quest wirelessly like a Vive or a Rift, but I was not really pleased with the performance, and I had my PC wired directly to the router. I also have a fairly decent PC so I think its more of the app performance than an issue with my PC, which can probably be improved with updates overtime. I was thinking about trying ALVR in the next day or so to see how it is. Virtual Desktop was not bad, but I was hoping to have a little bit better graphics fidelity. I really hope we will get root eventually.

I have used sidequest to load Root Explorer, Virtual Desktop, and a settings.apk I found for android online, to access some of the extra settings that are initially hidden. Not that there is much you can actually do, with out rooting and/or installing TWRP or something. I tried using Virtual Desktop to use the Quest wirelessly like a Vive or a Rift, but I was not really pleased with the performance, and I had my PC wired directly to the router. I also have a fairly decent PC so I think its more of the app performance than an issue with my PC, which can probably be improved with updates overtime. I was thinking about trying ALVR in the next day or so to see how it is. Virtual Desktop was not bad, but I was hoping to have a little bit better graphics fidelity. I really hope we will get root eventually.

I wouldn't recommend VD to do what you want to do.
ALVR works seemlessly and i can play all my VR PC games on my quest perfectly.
ALVR is not intended as a VD solution - it is specifiacally to use with Steam VR/Oculus and in a sense simply tricks your pc into thinking you have connected a Rift or Vive headset and then displays and lets you play accordingly.
Remember to set the height offset to 15 otherwise it will look like you are on the floor....lol
