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.

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

guyzz how to increase fps rate..pls help
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Simply use ChainFire3D with texture reduce option ticked, use performance governor with min/max frequency at 832Mhz, also select deadline as I/O scheduler, turn off radio data (mobile network, airplane mode). Thats pretty much sums it up.
By the way, you have to have root access to do most of the things mentioned, except airplane mode of course.
thanks for replying..but i think you are not getting my question
actually i want to play 1280*720 videos on my cell smoothly and that is possible by increasing fps rate i guess.

Smooth hd play is dependent on hw. I don't know what video types your using but it will play fine if you use a codec and container that your phone supports. If you use the proper file type and Codec your phone will use hardware and not software to decode. Hardware decoding is much smoother then software. And much easier on the batt while playing.
Also u can grab mxplayer off the market. In the top right corner of the app while playing a video it will show u if its using hw or sw to decode. U can also switch between the two. But it will help u narrow down friendly codec and containers for u.

^ What he said. The problem now is that our little SGY plays any video (I think) in software mode, that is, and is completely dependent on CPU speed (frequency). Just as said, the GPU inside sits and does nothing to help the CPU to decode video. Thus we are not able to play 720p or 1080p videos. Unless H/W acceleration works properly, it's impossible to play HD videos for now. But really, it doesn't matter, cause you couldn't tell a big difference from 720p to, lets say, 480*640 because of SGY's small screen size and low DPI.
i have tried mx video player...720p videos play but very roughly....my friend has.got a
samsung galaxy fit...in his phone 720p video plays smoothly..he told me that he has increases his fps from 15 to 30.he is not telling me how to do it.

I've alrdy told u what you can do. Re encode your videos into a format your phone will use. I didn't see a gpu in your specs. So I don't know if your phone will support hardware decoding. Research your phone and try to find a format it likes. Or upgrade and click thanks on everyone's post in here.

Any video format won't play in H/W mode on SGY because of the drivers fault.
Just for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VideoCore
Look at the bottom of the table.
For now we are dependent on sheer CPU power.

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?

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.

On my stock optimus2x or anfriends note 2 there is not the slightest lag when installing a app.
GN basicly locks up so i doubt its android somehow...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Because the CPU takes a hit with processing the install (unpacking resources, etc). OMAP CPUs are very open for development/modding compared to other CPUs, but the side effect is they're not quite as powerful due to avoiding some libraries and hardware techniques other CPUs might use that are proprietary in certain cases.

so i went back to stock (with the exact same apps as before) and this is a huge difference, no lag at all, no even when installing apps from the playstore. no need for any seeder or lagfix hack to get the device working as it should.
so now the question is wether the lag apears as well after some time or if the lag thing is only present in custom roms. and if so then the question is why.
i will keep my device on stock for some weeks to see how it goes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It will almost certainly come back, and it's not only present in custom ROMs. A clean install of a custom ROM should result in the same speed boost as a clean install of a stock ROM. See the following thread:
Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM
I would also say it depends on what governor and I/O scheduler you use. I would say try the stock settings of interactive and cfq.

as far as i can remember all custom roms literaly froze when a app was installed. so far i have not seen this on stock and i dont think that is a mather of trim or sheduler/governor.
but i will find out soon enough i guess...
Edit: forgot to ask, you are on a custom rom and your device doesnt freeze while installing apps?

I have tried 3-4 ROMs so far and never faced this problem.
While downloading apps, I can parallely do other tasks, play games, make and receive calls.
And if this helps, My GNex is 7 months old.

I agree. I'm using XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364. Ever since dumping the stock ROM, the Play Store performance is painfully slow. I have 276 apps on my Galaxy Nexus and the Play Store seems to be the only app that impairs the phone's performance so dramatically.
As a previous poster said, a lot has to happen when installing an app. So I tear myself away from my beloved comm dev from a few minutes and do something else. Like relate to my wife

so on 1000mhz should be 15fps

If you want to play full hd smooth you must wait for OC kernel and pray to get 1400mhz from NT u8500 (near impossible) Or my theory is not god , heh For what you need 1080p?

Why do you think that you need more Mhz in order to play a smooth Full HD?
Let me tell you something about hardware acceleration:
- It's a really old feature to have GPU decoding video, that's why every GPU is capable to decode video up to 1080p, CPU is needed only to get data.
- But there is a problem with Hardware acceleration: It only support a limited amount of codecs, so if you video is not x264/AVC, you won't be able to use HW, and cpu is weak by default on this tasks.
- Other problem is data transfer: Full HD have more than 10MB/s bitrate(up to 30MB/s bluray), a lot of SD cards can't sustain this speed, especially when trying to write something at the same time.
I won't recommend watching videos in software mode, CPU is weak for this tasks and you'll end up with low runtime.
Maybe true, but is right that on our screen size and resoliution is enought 720p.
