Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the n64oid app on their EVO? And if so how well does it preform? I am wanting to know before I buy the app.
Thanks!

Runs fine for me.....
Runs fine for me, just a lil sound lag, but its expected.
Decent for me on LOZ:OOT. Bit laggy though.
Ive used it, but quite laggy on the game i was playing, Diddy Kong Racing. It will get better tho
I just downloaded it, and EVERY rom i've downloaded on the EVO for n64oid is Super laggy, unplayable. Anyone know why?
ive had the same problem on my evo, except for mario 64 and harvest moon 64, but otherwise all the other roms are so laggy i can barely play them, even though some of the same roms i've seen youtube videos of them running perfectly. same question as above; anybody know why?

is there the option of changing the framerate? the higher the frame rate, the smoother the game, but it takes a heavy toll on your battery, you'll be best to play while tethered to the wall via charger cable
I just bought this app as well. Downloaded Goldeneye, Mario, and Mario Kart. All games are extremely laggy. Mario kart is playable, but the on screen timer takes about 3 seconds for every second in real time. Goldeneye, which I was really looking forward to, wont even load past the pre-game animated video. Very disappointing.
I changed the frame rate in mario kart, it worked okay, but still really laggy. Goldeneye and NFL Blitz were terrible no matter what the framerate!! I thought EVOs were fast?!!! What's going on?

Our processors are fast, our GPUs are outdated though. All the cool people run Adreno 205, we're stuck at 200.
Plus, as someone noted, it'll get better. There's a lot of stuff for the developer to work out to make the programming as efficient as possible so we don't experience so much lag. If you recall, it took the guy who did SNESoid several months before he could even get Super Mario RPG to work, and even so there's still enhancements being made to make it more playable.
patience...or buy a phone with better hardware. your choice.
Its not our phone, the dev clearly states at the bottom that the app should be considered an Alpha as he has so many performance updates to push thru to get it working close to perfect on most high end phones. Just give it time.

Yes, the results posted here are actually typical of most phones right now. The Evo does have a slightly lower GPU, but that actually doesn't matter with these emulators. Someone explained that unless the emulator was using openGL, which it apparently isn't, it shouldn't matter. I don't know, I just read that.
I have tested it on two roms. Myns 2.2 RSL5, and UltimateDroid 2.5. Both with kernels that support overclocking. On the sense rom, I have to download setcpu and set it to performance. On UD, I can set it in the settings. I overclock to 1.19GHZ.
In the app I have found it doesn't really matter if sound is checked on or off. Turning up the frameskips seemed to help. My results so far are the following games play well:
Mario 64 (flawless)
Mario Kart 64 (just a little bit laggy, but very enjoyable)
Star Fox 64 (menus and videos are very choppy, but in game it's super smooth and definately worth the download)
If for nothing more than these 3 games, this was well worth $6. I would have gladly bought these for $2 each if there were available as standalones somewhere.
That being said, the developer is known for updating all the time. Star Fox is running much more smoothly now than it was when the app first was released, so already I have seen a compatibilty increase.
Expect to continue to see updates, and as they do, more games will be available.
Now, if ANYONE has some complaint about the $6 they paid, go complain somewhere else. We don't want to hear it.
Runs like bunk on the evo because of the adreno 200.
Just ran it on an epic and it works perfect with the almighty powervr. (although the rest of the phone sucks)
It has potential so I bought it. I just want to play Zelda and Mario Kart. I can't wait until the Dreamcast emulator comes out so I can play Shenmue.

if you install CM7 and over clock to 1.1ghz it runs a lot better.
So, I have the same problem that others have reported, several of my games just stop working after playing them for awhile. I'll get so far in the game and then the game just shuts down and goes back to the home screen. A couple examples of the games that do this are Pocket Legends and Muffin Knight.
I am rooted. I was wondering if flashing a custom rom helps at all. So far I am rooted, but stock. I guess I haven't figured out exactly what is causing the problem though I know it's a known problem with the S2.
I am curious myself. It feels like I'll never beat Plants vs. Zombies because of it.
As far as I know it's a sound issue with the E4GT in general even rooting will not help the problem. Atleast I don't remember seeing anyone saying the games we do know of that are crashing are now working without a crash on a rooted rom.
Play with the sounds and/or music off.

Tried that with Plants vs. Zombies it does not work still crashes after a few minutes of play time.
The biggest thing I've noticed was that the phone will heat up quite a bit during game playing.
I've found that underclocking the device down to 800mhz and using the conservative governor I'm able to play longer, but the phone still becomes incredibly warm.
I've been having this issue since day one. Its really aggravating.

It has something to do w/ the soundpool bug that's causing the crash. It's been happening on the Int GS2 and Samsung still haven't fixed it. Turning off sounds doesn't fix the issue either. You can read bout it here http://groups.google.com/group/andr...hread/a40bf951f420b47e/6b736dba33793e00?pli=1
I've never had a problem with just headphones, n64 emulator, and starfox at 1.6GHz for hours.

N64oid isn't affected by this. But nearly every other game is.
Thanks everyone. When i'm on the desktop I'll hit the official thanks button.
I don't use the emulators. I did try playing with the sound off, but no joy. I'll try underclocking just for fun.
I contacted Samsung and they keep singing the song that it's the developers fault.

Just a FYI, PopCap did an awful hack job porting their games to Android, so I wouldn't use Plants vs Zombies as a baseline. In their case it's highly likely it's the developer's fault. Can't speak for any other games / developers, though I've had zero issues with playing Cut the Rope for 1+ hours.

I agree they did do a mediocre job but that point isn't valid. These same games play very well on other Android phones. My G2 had no issues running them but my wifes E4GT freezes all the time playing certain games.
On another note, I find it odd that the issue has something to do with the sound on these phones. Top of the line mobile GPU and we are trumped by a sound bug...

I guess I shouldn't *****, I haven't had any problems with LOS or GPS, but I do game a fair amount and it's annoying. The screen for camera and gaming is why I wanted this phone the most.

I played Plants vs Zombies through to the end on my Evo3D and the game never crashed one time.
Plants vs. zombies is the only game that crashes on my phone. Unfortunately, it crashes so regularly as to be unplayable.

N64oid crashes consistently for me. Usually playing the Zelda games. Anyone with N64oid emulator experience frequent crashes?
I've been playing Chrono Trigger on the Snes9x emulator and it crashes on me the same way Plants vs. Zombies do.
Does anyone still play fruit ninja?
Well, me neither, but I thought I'd try it out with this new big screen, and was really disappointed.
Note: im running a custom ROM: Jedi5
Back to fruit Ninja, the responsiveness is pretty delayed - almost makes the game unplayable. There could be several factors involved, but was wondering if others were having the same experience and curious what the problem is.
Or further, if there's a development setting that mught be causing it.
I'll flash back to stock at some soon point to see if it's ROM or kernel related.
Fruit ninja (free) non THD version no slowness. Only when there is an attempt to connect to "open feint". I have attached settings for fruit ninja via screen shot.

Its not i was on total stock a while ago and i had similar issues... **** ive had issues with a few games i had purchased.. i guess until they update im not playing them..
I've played FN several times with no real issues. At the beginning of each game it may be a little jerky while it starts up. Not sure if that's the CPU governor or the game, but my Galaxy Nexus did it too. When it starts though, it's smooth as butter.

Btw, the lag im getting is literally miliseconds.
But it takes my avg scores from like 7-800 down to 4-500. I feel ridiculous for typing this.

I've got Fruit ninja puss in boots and have that annoying lag too.
i dont have lag so much (a little bit), but my main gripe is that with most games i play, the whole game would occasionally freeze, then resume after 1-2 seconds. It's fairly annoying and I still haven't found out a fix to it yet. Seems to happen on any 3D rendered game.
Well, I have noticed one thing. In draw something, while using the SPen, disabling airview significantly reduces stutter and lag.

thanks i'll try that, but i think i might have narrowed it down to it happen mostly when i'm on the train. i think 4g disconnecting and reconnecting has something to do with the momentary freezing.
Hello! i got my lg g4 as a present 6 months ago never played any games on it before, downloads pokemon go and all is see is 5 to 10 fps what is wrong with the lg g4? how can they even sell this crappy phone? anyway to my question you guys think i would be able to send it back and get a refund? the screen does get so hot that when using it in the sun and then calling someone it hurts your skin...
Same here

Which Rom you are using?? R u on stock?
the problem is the extreme heat that generates while playing pokemongo...
I've noticed that once the phone gets hot the game starts running slower.
My friend's HTC M9 gets twice as hot but everything still runs smooth.
You can turn off Home screen buttons (those triangle, circle and square shaped) and your fps will be better. Tried and it works.
I'm with T-Mobile USA, software 20i was horrible with the game, when upgraded to 20o version, game got smoother but not as smooth as CM based ROMS. reason why I'm not with CM baseds are because some of reason youtube will freeze on HD playback but audio continues.
If Pokemon is life, go with CM based roms, it'll run so smoothly.
well tbh dont want to root i should not have to if its the heat that is the problem then well LG is bad
to the guy who said something about using a oneplus 3, it also has problems running the game smoothly also the network and gps strength is really poor for some odd reason (software problem) pokemon go is optimized for ios and sammy phones because of the popularity they have
All I can say is that my g4 has dropped many frames and become so hot while playing that I got a temperature warning and 2 minutes later the phone shut itself off
this is my theory LOL i dont know much.. when phone gets hot thermal kicks in so it lowers cpu frequency so thats why you see frame drop.?? and as for heat .. theres no fan in there so heat has to go somewhere i think LG uses the screen to disipate heat...
Guys my G4 never gets noticeably hotter than all my other phones, even I think others are worse. That game I don't have the nervs to play it long time, but for 5min it runs just perfectly. 90% of the games I've tried do.
The games than don't I thing it's more of a compability issue than weak hardware. If that particular game runs normal when the phone is cold there's no chance to see a drop down to 5 or 10fps just because of the heat.
I thought the jerky, twitchy aiming and movement was a problem in Battle Bay, but now playing Shadowgun Legends I'm getting a similar, but more often, jerky response that leave me looking in a random direction or sometimes in a different position as if I suddenly sprinted.
Anyone else? It's common enough, and annoying, I've thought about trying P.

It's the worst! Im pretty sure its on a lot of devices running Oreo 8.1. try searching multi touch for more related topics.
Took a short clip of me playing this game and slowed it down.

There's a magisk module now that I got from this link.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70344455
It works, I just flashed it about 30 mins ago.
It is working I am using it for 3-4 days.
I flashed Android P. It's much better but still there. At least Shadowgun Legends is playable.
