Dead Space Works Again!! (CM7 Official version)

I have been trying to get dead space to work since i upgraded to gingerbread...it only worked on froyo for powervr (at least for me lol) because it always froze the phone or crashed...i tried the new version and it runs perfectly on my epic with cm7...thanks CM7 team..
p.s. off topic, there is a street fighter IV game for android floating around the internet and I think it awesome..

so how is it CM7 gets Dead Space and GTA3 to run? Can these games run on other ROMs?

I' m not sure, deadspace always forced closed on me on the normal gingerbread and froze on cm7 but ea recently updated the deadspace game and rockstar updated the gta3 game for powervr phones (samsung and some motorolla phones), try the new versions of the apps and see if works for you..what rom are you on?
p.s. I have been running cm7 since november so I am not sure about other roms

iv been switching back and forth between Marcusants and CM7, mainly because I want to see how the CM7 holds up. Found out Marcus's ROM has way superior battery life and im sticking with that. I read somewhere that if you get it to play on CM7 then back it up you can restore it to any other ROM. Might try that out.
Edit: I just successfully installed GTA3 on Marcusants ROM. Just had to wait while the content was downloaded, make sure you let it do its thing when its downloading at 100%, DO NOT CANCEL and it should install fine

Right. And on cm7 I don't have to OC cpu or gpu or run any plugins or reduce quality. GTA III, Dead Space, ShadowGun, MC3, everything runs super smooth. God I love cm7.

The version I have is HD and meant for tablets so I can only see part of the 720p image lol.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

My experience has been that Shadowgun and Dead Space both drop frames all over the place regardless of what rom I run. With a lot if onscreen action they both become slideshows. I'm on CM7 and it is not any better. Maybe 15 fps is acceptable for a phone game though.

Running Marcusant v.1 bml - both those titles are perfectly smooth, given that I set the cpu governor to lock @ 1200mhz. DON'T USE PERFORMANCE GOVERNOR. It can drop and lock @ 800 or 400. Just keep it on ondemand ans set min and max the same. ;-)
also on earthbound's 3.3.0 250MHz/60Hz

Gta 3 lags badly

Does anyone have suggestions on how to run gta 3 more smoothly on my wonder?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

Did you use a custom rom or stock rom?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

I agree, it always chrashes on my phone, havent tried to solve it though. V6 supercharger might help, also Gamebooster Root (paid app) might help. Im not sure because i havent tried. Please report if you get some improvement

i played gta 3 with no lags

Maybe you can try to set cpu governor to perfomance (means it will run at 1.4Ghz all the time). This helped me with other games, but I haven't played gta 3.

Will that cost battery?
Sent from my bananaphone.

Of course it will cost you battery. More than "ondemand"
Cause the CPU Speed is always at 1,4GhZ; which is alot.
And your device may get very hot..

[Q] Arc S can't play heavy 3D games. Why???

So...this may seem a noobish question...but i don't think it is so.
Today I made an experiment, a test between some devices to see how they played good 3D games. I chose for it:
1: Sony xperia arc s, with stock ICS rom and kernel.
2: Samsung galaxy s 2, with stock ICS rom and kernel.
3: Samsung old galaxy tab p1000 7inches (single core 1ghz cpu and 512mb Ram), with Aokp rom and kernel.
And I tried to run:
A: Temple run.
B: Babel rising 3d.
C: Castle master 3d.
And what I got???
Both Samsung devices could play every game of the 3 perfectly.
ARC S MANAGED TO PLAY ONLY TEMPLE RUN. The other two games started then freezed. And freezed the phone till I had to remove battery.
Try by yourself, installing and running castle master 3d from play(free game).
So...WTF?????? Is this a low Ram problem??? Why the hell the arc s, with a better hardware than the old galaxy tab, can't play quite heavy 3d games????

I always thought this was a low ram issue, back on gingerbread I could run GTA 3 perfectly, on ICS however it starts then freezes.

Using ICS on Arc/S is not good for gaming...
-Game can force close
-Crash
-Freeze (every 2mins)
-Rarely reboot the phone

ok, i saw it by myself, but why?? the system in arc s ics cannot free enough ram to play a game that runs smooth on other older devices?? can we do something more than just downgrading to gingerbread?? or the answer is that we have a crappy phone and we should take it as ****ty as it is?

Never. I'll never install the rom of a copycat. the worst rom in the forum. However, I tried each other rom and the problem persists. So it must be a sony base problem.

Maybe it is because the system takes up more ram on the arc s than on the galaxy tab, so there is less available for the user. I think there is an app or something that can make your phone use some of the SD card as ram, That could help?

Yeah that's it! But never mind because....
I found a solution!
Now my 3d game I wanted to run was GTA 3. Whenever I tried, it would play for around 30 secs and then finish. I thought it was a ram issue, but I tried over clocking, now I never thought it would make a difference as because I'm on stock kernel it cannot go past the already reachable 1400, but I set the minimum from around 200 to around 1300 and the maximum to 1400, and now it can run GTA 3! Whenever I'm not playing I'll just change it back.

Yeah sorry :/ just tried it again, ran buttery smooth for 30s then closed.
I'm not sure I want to try the swap because I heard it can reduce SD card lifespan, and i can't find my other SD card.

Download a custom kernel and flash it
Overclock the kernel with set cpu
Gameplay should be smoother now with no lags
Hit thanks if appreciate this.

[Q] Subway Surfers bad performance on my i8150

Hey dudes, I'm having a really bad performance in Subway Surfers on my cellphone, i'd like to know if this is happening only on my phone or is there anybody else experiencing this too?
I see many phones equal or lower in hardware executing this game pretty good...
Thanks dudes!
(sorry about my english, and in case that I posted in the wrong place, plase sorry I'm knew here)

What ROM are you using?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

i'm not playing subway surfers, but i check out in the play store. its just 2D game, it should be smooth for thr graphics. but i see it require full internet access? maybe the problem is on yours internet quality.CMIIW

Subway surfers i think is a 3d games not 2d. CMIIW
Pressing "Thanks" button will be much appreciated if user's posts useful for you

Same
Same goes to mine,had to use chainfire 3d,but that makes it abit smoother..not much

Same here. Always lags (and not playable at all) when play those big game; Subway Surfer, Dead Space, Shadowgun etc.
I gave up already. Just play some lightweight (but awesome) games like Inotia3 and Samurai II Vengeance.

Same here. Very laggy. I'm on AOKP 17.9 of iatillagy's. Any tweaks? Will using adrenaline or geeky engine improve?

Yes. I've cleared the RAM before running the heavy games.Same goes to background apps, I've closed all the memory hunger apps like FB. But still no luck for me.
I dont understand whats wrong. We have a same device and same ROM (yes, I tried with stock, cm9b3, cm10a2, bioniccow2 etc), with and without tweaks, but everyone got a different experiences when it comes to gaming. Weird.

before some update I could play subway surfers without any lag, but since the haloween update (I guess, I'am not sure) its very laggy. so its not the hardware, they distroy just the performance with a ****ty update.

Hmm.. I use the forvivo's kernel and it seems working flawlessly till now.

Played games with Mutant rom and chainfire. Subway surfer works with no/minimal lag

I am using CM10 Alpha2 by arco without any tweak or MODs and it works smoothly.
note: for high performance with this game i change the governor to Performance with cfq I/o

write sirmate
I'm using ParanoidAndroid JB 2 and it work perfectly on it

So I see that's the problem here is the ROM... I'm using the stock ROM, yet.
I've already tried to clean memory before playing, but it works just for the time of one single run, after some time it begins to become laggy again.
And now, after you all said, I'm considering moving to CM10, what do ya think?
Thanks for the replies! :good:
