So I bought the gameloft games on sale... NOVA2, Backstab and Asphalt 6...
Haven't really tried the other games, but i play asphalt 6 a lot... But now and then it sorta freezes up my dz... kinda random... never ingame, always in menus or when entering a race... Seems like it's not gonna go away...
Has anyone experienced something like it? Should I try download the games files once more?
I'm running virtuous 2 with v6 unity kernel and sense 3 lockscreen... Haven't seen this behavior in any of my other games and i've got a lot of games..
Of course I'd rather not pull my battery if it can be avoided... but how damaging is it? I mean... it can't be that bad, can it?
Anyone?
Sorry I haven't tried running that game on my device, so I can't add anything about that.
But on pulling the battery: no, pulling the battery isn't bad for the device, but it is quite annoying. Something is obviously going wrong if its causing your phone to lock up. If this isn't happening in other games on this ROM, I'd e-mail the developer (of the app) and give them a crash report or some info on whats happening.
I'm guessing you have undervolted your CPU? The game is probably running at your max frequency and the custom voltage you set for that frequency is not enough to run stably. Happens to me too after I undervolted my DZ and tried running at 1.5GHz at 1300 voltage setting.
Awesome tips! Trying them out!
Same here with my galaxy s GT-i9000

Current phone rom and radio in sig.
Im using SetCPU and anything over 1036Mhz will eventually crash. Anything over 1113Mhz will cause instant crash and reboot-to-crash loop.
I've tried other CPU programs and the same thing happens.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not simple set the CPU and have it run at that speed, or is there another mod I should have completed before attempting to overclock?
I've tried search, nothing came back relevant. If there is a thread I've missed feel free to link.
Many thanks.
overclock a device that is much faster then anyother device to make it even faster?! bit greedy wouldnt you say? anyways.. it is very likely that you might have damaged your CPU.. use search button seen this problem before
I wouldn't say I'm greedy but overclocking is available and when there are a lot of CPU heavy apps, things can slow down. I wouldn't necessarily say I am running a lot, but I like the smoothness o/c brings. For the few seconds before it crashes.
If it was damaged then it wouldn't work at all. I don't think that is the answer I'm looking for. Thanks all the same.

yeah I know.. that why we have cutom ROM, make the most of the phone we pay for
tried helping, with my limited knowledge about o/c'ing .. sorry !
if it's like PC overclocking, then it won't damage it unless you overvolt it - although some mods will allow this (custom kernels).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8373423&postcount=7000
Whenever I am overclocking to its MAX 768 Mhz. the phone is not responding and then i have no other option left but to restart the phone by removing and inserting the battery. This thing makes me quite irritate.
Please suggest how to fix this and also quadrant standard app is not running.
Sorry for my noobness
Then don't overclock to such high speeds. Try increasing slowly and see what speed is stable.

I mean to ask that if it can be fix through any kernel or else.
No. Your CPU cannot handle such a high frequency and such things cant be fixed through "kernels" or "something else". Only solution, Downclock in steps of 1 and see which is stable. (Go to 748, then 729 and so on)
Thnx 3xeno I was waiting for ur reply on this. I hv installed set CPU and now running on 710mhz.
Can u clear one thing y games are not running frequently on this device. If u r using good games which are supported den please suggest d name or provide links. I will b highly thankful to u.

Its because of the lack of a GPU. CPU Speeds alone don't have much of an impact on it, which is why even after overclocking, games will lag and not play properly.
I do have a few games installed like Angry Birds (Obviously), X-Construct and Alchemy, but that's about it. Thankfully, my iPod Touch is far more competent when it comes to games, which is why I don't even try to run any games on the Wildfire.
I use games such as
angry birds
Tank hero
Baseball superstars
Basically games which arent heavy 3d graphics

Hi guys,
as most of you have experienced, Grand theft auto 3 came out for Android I have been waiting for it quite long, so I am very excited that it's finally here now.
I downloaded the game, and started playing it. It is playable, but it runs very snappy, laggy. I am playing with like 10 fps, wich is kinda slow..
What I tried to fix it:"
-Install the Blackice AOSP rom, so see if there's improvement.
-OC my phone to 1,5 gHz
- play it with Chainfir3D, and put the textures on low.
Like I said, the game is playable, but I think I can get more out of my phone..
Maybe I am wrong, and is this all I can get, or maybe there will come updates soon to optimize the game for this phone..
Let me know if you have any solution!
Thx
That's weird, I'm running it on Ultimate ace with pretty good fps (>30), maybe try changing the CPU governor to performance, or check if there's any battery saver enabled which could affect performance...
Thx for your fast response!
Unfortunately, this didn´t seem to help.. I even decreased the texture quality with Chainfire 3d, but this only gave me 2-3 frames win haha.
I don´t think it is because of the rom, since mine is as simple as you can get ;O
Do you have any other solution I could try?
Maybe try redownloading, perhaps you've got a bad file?
Im using the Black Ice Rom but Game runs quite good. It isnt that fluent but looks pretty good though. But I cant play the game properly. My DHD freezes and reboots after playing about a minute. I turned off undervolting, but problem didnt go away
Can someone upload there handling.cfg plz, I downloaded one for the SE arc and now the cars fly when accelerateing

Hi all,
I've been fiddling with RipTide GP a little bit, just wondering if anyone else has noticed a dip in fps when you set the graphics up from Default to Sharper Graphics?
I mean obviously this is to be expected but I was hoping the T3 could cope okay, what settings do you run it at and are you ROM'd or Stock?
Chears M'dears!

you loose 60fps with the full resolution, thats kinda acceptable given how effects heavy the game is
i also noticed with this game the interactive governor is better but not perfect, since your are using the tilt sensor and not "interacting" with the screen as muhc
and so the governor drops the clocks sometimes
best way to play it is with minimum clock set to 1.0ghz and interactive gov
wish so wish there was a game launcher app on android where we set governor, clocks and minfrees per game

You lose a full 60fps when set to sharper Graphics?! Jeez that's alot, still as you said it is really effects heavy!
At first I thought I was getting tired and wasn't concentrating properly when playing lastnight! Now I know I was loosing a lotta fps!
Interactive Govenor seems best for most games then I think, RipTide GP, Nova 3 etc...
Still haven't set my Govenor yet as I need to install System Tuner.
A game launcher App that set up the Govenor, Clocks and minfrees would be great!, just click in and out of 'Gaming Mode' before and after you play would be amazing! Instead you need to change it all into 'Gaming Mode' and then back to defaults or loose loads of battery!

Is it best to leave it running the interactive gov? or is it best to change between Int. and OnD. govs?
Also, Task Killer... I thought I heard once that killing everything in TK is not a great idea as thememory managemnt is pretty aggressive... plus, it's got bits running in it that I'm not 100% on, should be okay to kill it all right?...
---EDIT---
Got System Tuner, how do I actually change the Govenors?

no dont use task killer
you can use supercharge which is complicated but follow my guide to save the stock minfrees and change them on the fly using script manager widgets
or simply in System Tuner auto-kill menu you can change them on the fly
rebooting will restore the stock values
as for ondemand it best to switch back for battery when ur done
all explained in my gaming guide by the wide you just have to force yourself to read it

You experience slowdowns on HOX with Riptide GP? What's wrong? I mean, on my device with graphics maxed out the game runs silky smooth, no lags of any kind. In my opinion it may very well be the best optimized game for our device. And my HOX is still locked, unrooted and not modified in any way, I'm haven't even done the tricks hamdir has suggested in his guide. I never needed, although he does provide some sound advice. I just played a match of 3 rounds, finishing first just to check. And it only at a 3% of my battery!
Is it possible that you have loaded your Sense launcher with widgets/pages/cities or have many running background tasks that may actually cause the slowdown?

frame drops are different from slow down
@ Feregorn: The game isn't slowing down I'm loosing frames, they're different.
Slow down is when everything slows down because the CPU/GPU can't cope with what they're processing and/or get bottlenecked.
Frame Drops are what happens when the game stops showing like 100fps and drops to like 40fps, so gameplay will look less 'smooth' and may appear to 'skip' a little bit.
Atleast that's my take on it, @ Hamdir, correct me if I'm wrong?

approved
speed remains the same just the smoothness sensation lowers as the frame the rate is reducing from 60fps to 30fps or less
Mine don't lag at all
I stand corrected then...Oww guess I'll have to live with my mistake....But although it may seem that we are talking 2 different things the gist of the matter is that while playing with Riptide on my HOX I still don't experience any framedrops/slowdowns or whatever. Game apperas to me, to run silky smooth (and I'm an experienced gamer), just like GoW 3 did on the PS3. I'm talking about THAT kind of optimization. I can't understand what in the world has made the game to have on your defice such an inferior performance that it becomes noticeable.
which firmwares do you guys have?
1.29.401.11. for me
I only get noticeable frame dips when I am on stock on franco and eternity I don't notice any

I have the same also. Everything stock. But on the Sense homescreen, I only have 3 pages, one with the Weather clock, google search and a birthday widget, one with the full-page music widget and one with the full page calendar widget. I've also disabled autosyncing for most of the time. Maybe these are helpful in improving overall performance???
Alright, so, I've had my nexus for a few months now, it's been the best phone ever, really happy with it.
The past 3 or so days, the Lil thing started to get FPS drops in every single game I played. It goes all butter smooth for a while, then, for about 5-10 seconds, it just goes with 2-3 fps, then goes back to buttery smooth for a while, and the thing repeats.
Games it happened during: Benji bananas, manuganu, slingshot racers, subway surfers, temple run 2, temple run oz.
All of these games worked perfectly before, no sort of lag whatsoever.
Rom I was using: xenon hd 7.1, I had it on for a few weeks then the lags started, I had ak kernel installed.
Thought to change kernel, tried Franco, same thing happened. Changed back to an updated version of ak, same thing.
Meanwhile this, the new xenon hd 8 was released, I installed it today, thinking it will surely fix the problem, it didn't.
I tried forcing gpu rendering, no improvement. it only happens when I play games tho, at least that's when I notice it happening, phone is butter smooth everywhere else.
Also, tried running the apps with and without any other apps in the background. The cpu is untouched, no over clocking no undervolting no nothing.
Any suggestions?
Anyone has any idea?

Try getting pimp my Rom ( search it on the play store) , install init.d and go into tweaks then kernel and select both I/O options, all the sleepers and reenable vsync.
