So I have been trying to play GTA III lately. I notice some lag in my play sometimes it will completely STOP until it catches up. It's quite annoying. Now I would think that our SII could handle such a task. I have it over clocked with SetCPU. I have it in airplane mode. And clear other apps out of memory before I start playing. Are there any other gaming tweaks / mods I could utilize I'm not aware of. I've run other games like Dead Trigger, BIA 2, Skies of Glory with no issue. This just lags and sticks ALOT.. Thanks!

Gta doesn't lag at all on my phone. My boys play it all day maybe you need some int.d tweaks or build prop tweaks to make it run better for you.

Anybody else having a problem where Gameboid and GBCoid keep randomly going back to the select rom screen? The apps aren't force closing either and when it does happen it says in the notification bar "Gameboid is running" as if I just pressed the home button or something. Other emulators such as N64oid or SNESoid don't do this either. Idk its just really annoying because the emulation itself is fantastic. If it helps I'm running Starburst rom v1.3 and the kernel it comes with but I don't think that matters because it was happening before I was rooted. Anyways thanks in advance for any fixes and sorry for the long post.

Happens to me. It's definitely something with the device. Ever since I started running midNIGHT rom v2 I haven't had a crash. Although I only tried it about 10 minutes

Same with me. I'm on starburst rom and I can even play for 5 min without it crashing
Do you guys have any ideas on why this is happening or what we could do to fix it?

This also happens to me on stock. Kinda frustrating, but I have confidence it will be solved in the future.

That's strange. What ROM/kernel are you using? N64oid never crashes on me. (Except for certain roms, such as Zelda).
Stock rom and the latest zedomax kernel. It doesn't force close either.. Just ends the Rom and brings me back to the Rom selection screen.

this happens with just about any kind of game I play, not just emulators. any kind of tower defense game or plants vs zombies or anything that requires some sort of graphics. games like spades or dominoes or games with low graphical requirements seem to be fine. ive been rooted from day one and have always had a custom kernel and rom. my gf's e4gt was stock until about a week ago and her's did the same thing. you can play for 5 - 10 min then the games would just close. no FC, just close. battery temps rise as well when this happens. I wonder if its not a dodgy gpu or gpu driver?

Mine's the opposite. Runs fine on n64oid, Alchemy, Cut the Rope, and even Beats. But Gameboid and GBcoid both randomly crash (without prompting a FC.)
I believe I may have found the culprit, at least for me. I was having the same issue as many of you, SNESDroid would just go back to the main screen without a FC. Then while trying to play the same parts of the game all over again, I decided to fast-forward everything and I noticed for the longest time the game didn't crash on me. So I decided to try something out and disabled the sound in the settings menu. So far the game hasn't crashed on me. It's unfortunate that I don't get to hear anything though, but I'd rather play a quiet game that doesn't crash. Than hear some audio and have the game crash on me every 5 - 10 mins.

I will try this out when I can, but like others, why does it only do this with Gameboid and GBCoid and not the heavier emulators like N64oid?

It still crashes. Just checked

Has anyone made any headway with this? I've tried a variety of tricks but Gameboid keeps crashing within 5 minutes of starting the game.
I've had the same problems with some emulators from the android market. They would crash within a mintue or two. So I uninstalled them and found NESoid and SNESoid. They last longer but they still crash with no FC message. I'm running Starburst v1.5 and Zedomax OC Kernel

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..

I have installed gamebooster v1.2 but it cant disable even i uninstalled gamebooster, but i have told gamebooster v1.3 the problem has been fixed, so have you link gamebooster v1.3? Thanks

I also couldn't remove ultra gaming mode from game booster. Have removed the app, now my phone seems like it is out of ultra gaming mode because its not as hot as it used to be

Does anyone else play Home Run Battle 2? If so, do you notice any lag? Sometimes the game will play smooth but other times, it lags so bad that sometimes you can't even play it. Is anyone noticing lag in any other game or this game?

Dude yes! I notice it with temple run and it sux because this phone is powerful. I just hope its the app/game not being optimized yet
I feel your pain man with restaurant story all TW ROMs lag in these type of games even OC to 1.8ghz when I go to a CM9 or CM10 jellybean type ROM they work perfectly fine smooth and with my G2 games ran smooth as well not sure what's the deal here. I'm on AOKP based of CM10 and they work fine but I sure do miss TW.

I suppose this sounds like a software problem which sucks. If the games are running fine on different roms then it looks like the hardware is obviously powerful enough. I hope this issue gets fixed quickly.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think it's app related. On my HTC One S playing temple run I would get lag and it would be bad enough for me to miss a jump, slide show and die. I get is far less on the gs3 but it's still a bit noticeable.

I'm running stock with a few tweaks and I'm noticing that most of my classic console emulators run like crap with either poor frame-rates or choppy sound. On my S2 and OneX they all ran fine. Anyone else experiencing this? Would think these would run fine on the S3 due to its cpu power...
Ps also have and issue with Max Payne Mobile not displaying the controls.

Download a cpu app such as system tuner or SetCPU and whenever you are playing your game, switch the governor to "performance".

I would think ondemand profile would be enough, but especially for snes...

Yeah well performances insures that your cpu stays at max all the time, so your gameplay won't lag as much.
If you really want to heighten your gaming experience, flash any kernel such as Zaventh as they can clock up to 1812mhz!

Try going into Settings > Developer Options and change the setting for Force GPU Rendering. Reboot and try it again.
Not all GS3's are able to handle overclocking to 1.8ghz. Try lowering your clock speeds if you're using a custom kernel.
Try a different kernel if nothing else is working.
Download CpuSpy from Play Store. It will show you how much time your phone spends at each speed.
For Max Payne, you should probably email the developer about that. He's probably seen it before.

Could any one explain about oveclocking in DINC 2... I am using Chilly's rom. When I am playing some games with fast moment like temple run, subway surfer and so on... it was not good and a millisecond stuck makes a big bang on the play time... any one please help me and guide me how to make the settings for overclocking...
If you are using Chilly's ROMs, check the performance section in the system settings. You can set the processor max speed as well as governors, etc. Remember though that overclocking will impact battery life
