EDIT: Probably fixed. Looks like switching to the "on demand" scheduler (or something else I did) has restored performance, at least after playing with it for a couple of minutes. Leaving this here for now in case it helps someone slightly.
Hey guys, I apologize in advance if this has been discussed, but I haven't found anything through doing some searches.
I started noticing intermittent slowdowns during gameplay on my Xperia Play during FPSE. I figured it was something to do with performance being sketchy on Final Fantasy IX anyway.
Then the weird part - I started noticing this same slowdown playing Pokemon Silver on GBA A.D. I have never experienced any lag even playing on my old Optimus V. So I'm thinking this is kind of strange.
The interesting thing is that I'm able to end the slowdown by pressing the menu key and then going back to the game.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems like this. I believe I didn't have the problem when I was on GB.
Currently, this is my setup:
ICS++
DoomKernel
OC to 1.6 Ghz (I reverted it to stock levels when I noticed this problem to see if there was instability - it hasn't helped).
brazillianwax scheduler (I'm going to play around with this and see what happens)
I've uninstalled some nasty background-sucking apps like Facebook to see if that will help, but it looks like that didn't do anything. I also cleared the current running programs, again not doing much of anything.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I might go try some other ROMS perhaps, like Darkforest or even going back to GB. I would prefer not to go back to GB because of how N64oid has analog touch controls working in ICS only. If anyone knows if it's possible to go back to GB while preserving analog touch controls in N64oid and FPSE that would be really good.

Thanks, i was playing normal kwaak3 without on screen controller using volume buttons to go straight and back that sucked ;D
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i finally got it installed properly in my phone, the speed is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
it puts any computer to shame
1.It works a tad better on eclair than froyo.
2.When running kwaak close other apps for best performance.
3.Best setting - wide screen res, 16bit depth, everything else to max.
~60 fps.
It doesn't put any computer to shame
from present time that is
still..
i was comparing it to the CPU of the time when the game was released
Ahh... sorr to bump an old thread guys.. figure its better then starting a new one.
Ive been running kwaak3arena 0.2 for several weeks now without issue, but the other day it seemed to stop working properly. main issues are that the brightness of the textures seems to have increased, the controlls have been muddled up, and the application crashes sometimes in some levels. This all came on unexpectedly after running flawlessly for ~2 months!. The only thing i can think of is that after i used the application with it working perfectly, i had downloaded the XE.com app, and after that it starts screwing up. Im also noticing, though not sure if its just me, that other areas of the phone are running very slightly more laggier / choppier then they were before.. i think.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kwaak3arena, as well as getting rid of the xe.com application, but still no fix.
Phone is basically standard running voodoo lagfix.
Anyone else having similar issues?
I also noticed that the developer has released a new version which he's charging for
edit: Also, for symptoms, ive noticed ive been renamed "unnamedplayer," from GalaxyS
I have been experiencing some extreme wake-up lag on my R800a running DoomKernel v11 after installing a theme. It's so bad that it takes a solid 3 seconds for the screen to light up and during those seconds, the music is choppy as hell. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't ruining the music. I first installed this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321314 and I noticed the intense lag right away. I thought it was just a glitch in the ROM so I just went back to stock. Then I tried installing this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464375 and I got the same problem again. I completely wiped all the user data and started from scratch twice and am still faced with the same problem. The phone runs perfectly when it's awake. There's absolutely no lag anywhere, just on the initial wake-up. I even used an app called Soft Locker so it wouldn't go into deep sleep and set my minimum CPU clock to 1.5ghz and I still got the lag. The theme is way too sexy to just give up so I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this before.
So I tried using the stock kernel with the theme and the wake up lag went away so I guess the DooMKernel was causing the problem, which is unfortunate because I love that kernel. Has anyone else had a similar problem while using the DooMKernel?
Actually SE.Tweaked isn't working well right now.
I have R800a as well, I installed it, and it wouldn't even boot. R800i users seem to have no problems, but R800a and at users seem to be having problems.
As well all ICS roms are in BETA. So things not working properly with all phones/kernels should be expected.
So it's not doomkernel, it's the ROM.
Might sound like a strange question, but hopefully someone can help out
My One-X is now away for repair due to a wifi and screen issue, so at the minute I'm back to my Xperia Play - and I notice the multitasking is *so* much better, which is a bit depressing.
I can switch between apps all day long, and I came back to my music app after playing a few games, and it reloaded the last song I played and continued.
With the same program on the One-X, I would have to reload the program from scratch, back to the main menu, and take it from there.
Is there anyway, changing settings etc, I can emulate what's going on in the Play on my One-X when it's returned? I'm running CM10 on my Play, was running ViperX on my One-X, if it makes much of a difference.
Thanks everyone
So, since the day that i got my xperia play i've been noticing a really annoying input delay. I'm a fighter player, and like to speed run sometimes, so delays are realy easy to notice for me.
I've already tried all kinds of roms and stuff and the delay is always there. Someone here have the same problem? Someone know a fix for this?
I was thinking about running my phone on a 480p kernel, but I'm not sure if the input delay is caused by the screen and its resolution.
Helo have you tried this ROM, it runs very smooth and fast to me, my max benchmark score is 7652 which is very good for xperia play

Hello guys,
Excuse me but let me get straight to the point: I really need a solution. I upgraded my Tab 3 from JB 4.1.2 to KitKat 4.4.2 yesterday, and one and the sole problem for me is now I'm always experiencing lag in a certain rhythm game. I'm not sure about overall device performance as I don't pay much heed and for me no extreme differences apparent for me to notice. Even if it's slower on KitKat 4.4.2, I wouldn't really mind it. But the problem is, the only thing I care is the one experiencing problem from the OS upgrade.
The game is called School Idol Festival. You can see the example of the gameplay in youtube. (can't post any link since this is a new account)
The problem is now the game lag heavily causing the notes to move shakily, especially when there are more notes appearing on screen at the same time. It's like when you move your cursor when the pc is lag heavily, the cursor would look like it's shaking a lot while on the move. It's disturbing my timing on playing the game. Previously on JB 4.1.2, the notes rarely move so shakily like that even in far more intense songs. I have tried to turn off many stock apps. My internal storage is still 8 GBs free. I already tried to close all other applications before launching the game. I never limit my CPU performance. I already tried turning off power saving. Already tried to tick force GPU rendering in Dev option. Already tried to play after I cooled down my Tab 3. But none helps.
Is there any solution for me, preferably without the need of rooting and without any good risk of breaking my device?
Thanks.
