Wahey, Sonic Episode 2 THD is out! - HTC One X

NOTE: Title should say Sonic 4 Episode 2 THD!
Bring on the fun!

There's a LITE version too!

I feel some lag. not enough 60fps , it about 25~30 i think.

Some lag, yes. Also the virtual joystick is to small for me, so I struggle with the movement.

Seems like they rushed the release of THD version, it really needs some optimization.

The joystick is balls, it's laggy as sin!
I can barely move!

Try enabling GPU rendering in developer options, it seems to work a lot better for me. Not sure if its just a placebo effect yet though lol.

Are u using a Sensation to search the game? If that's the case it won't work it's Tegra 3 only for now.

use tegrastats and you will see its not requesting full performance mode
when you play S4E2 you will see the game is running between 640mhz and 1000mhz most of the time with only two cores!
run glowball and it immediately ask full performance quad mode @ 1200mhz
using setcpu and changing governors is no good since its unpredictable, performance gov never uses over 2 cores and interactive well its mostly using three cores
the best trick to play S4E2 for root users and counter the lag, use system tuner instead of SetCPU
leave it OnDemand and set the minmum to 1200mhz and max 1500mhz, if you want less heat 1200mhz min and max 1200mhz
this will force it to never drop clocks and hence never stutter, it will run mostly on three cores and sometimes asks for the 4th core
ofcourse remember to set back the minimum speed when you are done

Tegra 3 and SetCPU

Does using setCPU with the Tegra 3 and it's 5th core muck up the Tegra 3's native power saving capability (ie. using the fifth core as a low energy solution for minimal activities)?
Has anyone seen tests of battery use with and without?
What I have seen from my use over the past week or so with SetCPU is that you can set the governor and the minimum clock both of which have an effect (although minimum clock is not strictly adhered to).
I don't believe the 5th core is exposed to the android OS so SetCPU shouldn't effect that at all.
I'm testing the beta and no it does not effect the max 100% of the time the tegra power management seems to kick in. I have informed mike (setcpu author) about this issue he is looking in to it.

I guess set cpu is not supported quad core yet
As James pointed out, the 5th Slave core is Transparent and not visible to Android, so it 'shouldn't' be effected by SetCpu

It supports quad core CPU scaling, the question is about the 5th core.
That the 5th core is invisible does make it seem like it wouldn't effect this issue, however I would like to understand a bit more about how it works to be sure.
From what I understand, when processor use is low and the CPU is scaled below 500mhz(?) then the 5th core alone is used, whereas at higher frequencies the other 4 cores are fully engaged.
I would just be worried that setting the CPU speed through methods other than whatever method HTC/nvidia had arranged for might negate this benefit. It'd be good to know from the setCPU guy what's going on, since he likely understands a lot about how CPU scaling works...
Here's my Feedback on using SetCPU with HOX:
When trying to underclock my phone
Max: 1000 Min:51
Result: rebooted within 5 minutes and then kept on doing this untill I reset the SetCpu settings to phone defaults and uninstalled
similar user experience here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596992&highlight=setcpu
I have seen that there is an app created for the HOX:
CoreControl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652136
I want to give this a go and I feel this a relevant topic to be stickied maybe under a different Topic Title ie. Custom CPU settings
Will install CoreControl and revert...
BTW: what settings have you tried using with SetCPU to underclock that doesnt result in a random reboot and that works, also what version of setCpu are you using
system tuner will allow to set the clocks for T3 properly
CoreControl is for enable/disable cores, not for overclock/underclock, I've been using it for a while, at least my HOX doesn't heat up much

I can now concur with @vegasphinx it doesn't heat up as much and I dont notice the difference besides the toastie popping up every so often saying CoreControl has been granted SU
can any of you give me an idea how to setup the Battery Stats within CoreControl
It crashes because there's no kernal that supports overclock/underclock.

Laggy Games

I have played the free version of Fruit Ninja THD and it is a little laggy sometimes. Is there anyone with the same problem? Maybe a solution?
I also played reckless racing 2, and the tar looks very very bad. I have uploaded the screenshot of reckless racing 2 to dropbox. The link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78880032/Screenshot_2012-05-24-16-38-20.png
I know this sound stupid but on an ipod touch the graphics look better for Reckless racing 2 and Fruit ninja plays much smoother. Is this normal for a quad core beast?

I'm running on Leedroid v6.00, with build number 1.29.401.7.
In one word, optimization.
Developers of these games didn't care enough (or weren't paid enough) to bother optimizing it for Tegra GPU.
Install Shadowgun on your HOX and let iPhoneys weep in tears of amazement.
PS: Ever tried installing an HD texture pack in Minecraft, along with a bunch of mods? It will lag like CRAZY, I'm talking around 25-30 fps. That's with i7 @ 3.2GHz and double gtx570. Engine just isn't using the hardware to its full potential (or ANY potential). Slow, inefficient drawing procedures, zero usage of actual GPU acceleration, most likely making CPU do all the work.
Shadowgun doesn't run that great on my One X and its pretty much nearly stock since I bought it.

Shadowgun doesn't run so great??? Have you tried Shadowgun THD??? It's graphics are equal to the iPad 3! And the performance is superb, greatly optimized for Tegra3 devices and especially HOX. Go and try it! And my HOX is stock too! I've downloaded many games till now, and none were laggy.
Tegra GPU is overhyped, but it isn't the GPU performance, its the CPU scaling from the 4 cores at a low 'Mhz', put it to dual-core and it should run smoother.

wrong the dual core trick is no good for quad games like shadowgun thd
all you have to do is root, download system tuner and switch to interactive governor when u game, the problem is the stock on-demand giv is tweaked fro battery saving
performance gov is also no good for quad optimized games eitherer, since it locks o dual core mode
with supercharger and interactive shadowngun thd is smooth like butter for me, s4
e2 is running pretty awesome too

Yes you can. The performance governor is only for games which do not use all 4 cores. See which governor works best for you. The best governors for games is interactive and performance(Hamdir). You can switch back to ondemand when you're finished gaming. Also you might want to use supercharger/"development settings trick" to make sure only the game is running.

yes and no its not just HTC fault
to be honest i always had to do this governor switch with all my old android devices
i think its android fault + manufacturer fault + app developer fault (for not requesting full performance)
for example glowball immediately requests full performance quad mode without any tweaking
thanks for the quick response... what's this supercharger/"development settings trick"? how to do it?

[FIX][UPDATE] Wild Blood Full Effects v1.0.7 Performance + GameLoft games - Root

The initial Wild Blood 1.0.7 had full effects and it ran bad on Tegra 3 devices (especially the slower ones like the Nexus 7)
Gameloft quickly botched the game with the v1.0.8 update and downgraded most effects to make it run well on Most Tegra 3 device
check this post for screenshots comparison and how to return your game to v1.0.7
Interestingly the game runs well on stock 2.17 kernel with gaming boost, yet it runs very bad on the One X gaming optimized kernels like Faux, Tegrastats revealed it's using only one core, without gaming boost it rarely crossed 50% load and with boost it rarely crosses 82% load, in other words this game is not using the Tegra 3 CPU at all
Not only it doesn't even begin to use the CPU, Gameloft still fails to optimize their games for the Tegra 3 GPU shortcomings for example Wildblood has an high level of Anisotropic filtering and our GPU is pixel fill rate bound, a reduction to this filtering could have been enough to relief the GPU instead of killing off all the effects
The very best way to play wildblood v1.0.7 is using the One X base 2.17 stock with gaming boost 2.1 or even better with the custom gaming enhanced stock 2.17 kernel
For some very specific reason it runs perfectly playable on this kernel even with full effects as long as you use gaming boost
However if you like to force this game to run well on custom kernels like faux and franco, continue with the following methods
Since this game and many Gameloft games don't uses Tegra 3 cores, we will want the maximum out of our single core
How to Run Wildblood and many Gameloft games at the maximum possible performance on custom One X kernels
First Method: Dual Core lock
- Download the latest Renovate Gaming boost
- Download any CPU control app like SetCPU
- First Enable boost in the gaming boost app, this will set the maximum background free memory and tweak the GPU
- Then change the CPU Governor to Performance mode using your CPU app, this will lock Tegra 3 to dual core mode at maximum clock speed, since two cores are disabled for safety in this governor you don't have to worry about overheating
Run Wildblood 1.0.7, you will notice it runs at least 2 to 3x the performance of default values
Recommended custom kernel for this method is Faux 11 mainline but also works with stock kernel, make sure you don't use an OC kernel since this method will push the device and you don't want it to overheat
OCed kernel might have issues with this method
Don't use this method and game on the charger otherwise your device might overheat
This tips is for non Tegra optimized games, using it with the THD games will surely cause high heat
Once you are done gaming disable boost mode and restore your CPU governor to ondemand to conserve your battery
Alternative method: Quad Core + Throttle lock
This is a much more aggressive method and will heat the device
for some reason the game runs in full quad core on the userspace governor using faux 12b1 and it runs over 30fps with full effects v1.0.7
we also need an OC kernel like faux' variant free this is because we don't want it to throttle all the way down to 1200MHz which always cause a massive drop in speed, I think its related to linked memory speed, so faux variant free or ultra or beta, will throttle to 1350
I didn't try any other kernel like stock but Franco doesn't have userspace and ondemand is only single core on this game, the stock kernel has userspace but I didn't try
so using faux 12b1 enable gaming boost 2.1
using setcpu or ur fav CPU app switch to userpace gov and Noop scheduler
set the min and max clock to 1400, this will lock to the throttle speed of 1350mhz at full quad
run the game and be surprised
u can reduce the lock a little if u feel its too hot, but don't set min below 900 because this governor has a mind if its own
In theory this should also work on stock kernel but it will lock to throttle speed of 1200mhz at full quad
Don't use this method and game on the charger otherwise your device might overheat
This tips is for non Tegra optimized games, using it with the THD games will surely cause high heat
Once you are done gaming disable boost mode and restore your CPU governor to ondemand to conserve your battery
This is cool to use on stock kernels?
Nice tip thanks hammy! XD
Any other CPU tuners worth mentioning? I'm skint atm and cant afford to pay for it XD

yes tons of free CPU apps just search in google store, system tuner is one of them
AND YES it works on stock kernel, although it beyond me why you insist on not trying a custom kernel like faux (2 to 3x the frame rate in Beach buggy)

TBH I can't seem to ever get round to flashing a custom kernel, also I'm still not 100% confident enough to do it. I'm not sure on which kernel to flash tbh and I'll be jumping up to ARHD 11.1 soon so don't see the point until after then.
I haven't played beach buggy yet.
Nice tip, thanks a lot!
This method is working perfectly for Faux 11 mainline and the device remains so cool :laugh:
Hamdir,
It's possible to get full effects whit v1.0.8?
What for?

Both version is same, just for 1.0.8 version, they've decreased the graphic.. so hamdir just giving us how to revert back to 1.0.7 that hold full graphic enable for those have update to 1.0.8. So, this is the way to make it full effect enable.
@nashshafrulrezza im also getting freezes with the game, Faux11 mainline it's but not the kernel because i press home and i can exit the game, so i think there is something wrong with TB back of v1.0.7
extremely fun and smooth though , this method proves the real problem is that Gameloft is not using the CPU well
@everyone else v1.0.8 made the game smooth by killing effects so you don't really need this method, its only for those who want to play it with full effects enabled on v1.0.7

It just the same.. already try it without uv and it really working great at 1st.. then when it comes to lot monster stage.. the game hang as before.
Agree.. it's the game could be.. just need anyone to test it with latest franco.. cause before this, franco kernel working better when it comes to wildblood.. Maybe we'll found out an answer to this freeze problem.
BTW, I don't want to glued my HOX yet.. Still hoping for better gaming experienced. Not because gaming experienced is bad with our HOX but I'm just hoping gaming will last longer with our HOX, maybe same as iphone.

I did the tweaks: Enable Boost and Performance Mode
Beach Buggy Blitz is much smoother at full resolution. But the device still gets overheated I can blame either the chip in 'my' One x or like other people said the jb builds heat up while gaming.
I remember when playing beach buggy blitz normally without tweaks, the lag in the tunnel/dark areas was the most. With these tweaks the lag is barely there
Thanks Hamdir!

While it works great, this tip is not intended for Beach buggy ill make it clear in the first post
beach buggy and other real Tegra games uses the CPU core and GPU pretty well and they get heated as they are with gaming boost
unlike wildblood which is barely pushing the GPU or the CPU, with this tip it remains very cool
so yea this tip is for wildblood 1.0.7 and maybe other non Tegra optimized games like the ones from GL
the JB kernel is confirmed by many as hotter (so far) if they didnt' fix this, our kernel gods will deal with it, of course this means waiting for the kernel source, once the OTA roles out ill be annoying HTC with requests about the kernel source on Elevate
This is why im now happy that my devices has Asian OTA and will gladly update later when the gaming situation is clear
Alright. Thanks once again.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2013) Overclocking

So, I was wondering if it is possible at all to overclock the Nexus 7 (2013). When I go to the app to overclock it (Yes, already rooted and installed busy box) I am unable to change max CPU's frequency higher than the default 1.5ghz. I also can't change the GPU's frequency over 400. Was wondering if there's like a limit to it or something. I was hoping I could overclock to 2ghz. Please help, thanks

Not to be mean or anything. But you really should not be overclocking your device at all when you don't even know what is required to over clock in the first place'. Let alone 2ghz.

Everybody has to start somewhere.
The kernel linked above should work fine. I would recommend backing up in TWRP/CWM before installing in case something goes wrong.
Why would you need to overclock this device? It already runs amazingly smooth with no lag whatsoever. What is it that you need the overclock for?

Well Beach Buggy Blitz would lag at times when there was a lot on screen (like the cave full of coins would kill my fps), This was on stock Kitkat, with custom kernels works fine with no drop in fps.
On a funny side note, cm11 runs everything lag free without needing oc or custom kernels, so maybe it's the stock kernel that's crap

I am currently using stock rom with elementax kernel, cpu @1,72ghz and gpu @450mhz. When i tried 2ghz oc, everything worked fine, but it got really hot while gaming. So i´m asking me how dangerous it is to use such high oc values in daily life. How much could it decrease the lifespan of the components?

I am currently using stock rom with elementax kernel, cpu @1,72ghz and gpu @450mhz. When i tried 2ghz oc, everything worked fine, but it got really hot while gaming.

We can only guess. Keep it at 2ghz, and let us know how long from now before your CPU is baked, then we'll all know for future reference.
Also there is an inductive charging coil on the inside for wireless charging some day when they come out with the chargers, sweet ****

Actually it is an underclocked snapdragon 600, but i didn't know that this cpu supports a clock speed until 1.9ghz (thought 1.7ghz would be standard clock). So i think up to 2ghz there shouldn't be any problems and it's okay for everyday use. I've also heard of some rumors that our nexus 7 2013 contains a "second choice" snapdragon 600 chipset, which didn't fullfill the predetermined requirements and that's why it was rebranded as an s4 pro... but this is really unimportant and just speculation.

omg you certainly shouldn't overclock it because the SOC architecture is designed to run at optimal clock speeds... by overclocking it, you might shorten the lifespan of your device and you might even damage it permanently as well

[Q] CPU Temperature exceeding 80°C! How dangerous?

Hi guys,
I understand that some heat when running resource intensive applications and games is to be expected but I believe I've passed into the danger zone, so to speak. When playing XCOM my CPU temperature quickly exceeds 80°C. From my googling on the matter I have come to assume that a temperature as high as 80°C is dangerous for the hardware of the device, but I have had trouble finding upper threshold limits for the model itself.
I guess my questions are as follows:
1) How damaging would running the CPU at 80°C for an extended duration (1hr +) be?
2) What would you consider the max acceptable CPU temperature to be?
3) Assuming it is as bad as thought, what are my options to reduce the CPU temperature, short of avoiding the problem applications? Underclocking seems to be a common suggestion, but I get the feeling that XCOM, or similarly taxing applications, may just fail to run or become incredible sluggish under such constraints.
My device is rooted and running Lean Kernel v2.4 along with the w03Slim ROM. Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638116
I've done similar test runs in the Temasek kernel with the recommended configurations through Trickster Mod and there is no difference, the CPU still exceeds 80°C when playing XCOM. After a week or so of googling, searching the forums, and digging through device manuals I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.
Any insight or advice you all might have is greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Does not exceeds to 80c now?
You can try a custom kernel, i would recommend you BioShock kernel, with conservativex, max freq 2.2 ghz and undervolt 25 mV... No more over warming for me, great performance and battery life

Agree with this post, conservativex is a great governor to keep your cpu in check and not over throttle itself, also check out my thread I made here awhile back and apply the 8th post down. It really helped keep the temp down on my phone when playing graphically intensive games like dead trigger 2,riptide gp2 etc. Also if you have trickster mod or faux clock(really recommended) you can scale down your max frequency, that should really help keep it cooler and you won't see much of a performance drop (if any) while gaming or heavily using your phone.

Does it works with KitKat?

Sounds great.. But i have a question.. Some settings are for ondemand based govs wich are unstable with kk... So would you recommend to try this with interactivex? Or wich one. TIA
