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.

I don't know if it's "over-hyped" or not, but in my case, it sure as hell does far more than its job in every situation...
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

+1 absolutely my experience as well.
If not enough you can try performance governor (locked dual core 1.4 no scaling)
Thanks eventually got fruit ninja to play smooth. Used the performance governor with supercharger. Playing smoother than an idevice for me.

Honestly. Should we be having to do such tweaks for a phone that is being marketed as the best gaming experience on a smartphone (see HTC keynote at E3)
The "new" iPad is marketed as a gaming device and I've not had to be tweaking anything or other to get my games smooth etc.
HTC must get their act together.

about tuning the interactive governor thingy, can we revert it back to the original settings after playing games?

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?
can anyone recommend a kernel thats simple that provides a smoother experience for gaming and UI. i know JB has project butter but i notice in some games like ski safari, there are stutters that i don't experience on my galaxy s2 (exynos). do i need a kernel with 512mhz gpu for smoother gaming? or a lower step (higher than stock) is enough? im asking this because in my experience overclocking gpu or cpu too much causes more problems sometimes.
use any of the trinity kernels and it will take care of any lag in games.

I use Franco kernel with 512mhz GPU, no problem so far.
Hi guys,
I've got a Galaxy S3 via Rogers, rooted, running the rom Triune II, I haven't messed around with custom Kernals (tbh haven't figured that out really), I recently installed SetCPU to overclock my S3 for running graphic intensive/slow loading games like Asphalt 7, etc.
So far for that purpose it's been amazing, the games literally open twice as fast. I've setup SetCPU for a variety of CPU changes, ie. higher speeds for graphic intensive games, lower speed for screen off while charging (ie. overnight) and it seems to be working great.
My questions are:
Can "overclocking" damange my device? Ie. I know that obviously overclocking shreds through battery life, but is playing a game at the top speed available on SetCPU (1512 Mhz) bad over a prolonged period?
Also, am I not reaping the full benefits of over/underclocking having a custom kernal installed?
Also...nother totally n00b one, if the S3 is capable of reaching the "overclocked" max speed, why doesn't it in the stock ROM? I just don't quite get that....is it because the battery life would be terrible and people would blame Samsung for it?
Never had a issue overclocking. And I've overclocked every phone I've owned beside the iPhone.
As far as how much better it will make your phone it depends. Depends on the rom too. I've noticed better benchmark results yet not always better real world results.
I use it more for the ability to underclock, and overclock when necessary.

a little off but do you know of a way to measure the temperature of the phone (when you overclock/or even normally) ?
My phone does heat up sometimes
For over/underclocking there must be support for it built in kernel ! So if stock kernel doesn't support it you cannot probably change frequencies without changing kernel on stock Rom !
Also read the kernel's documentation - stable frequencies will be listed there - jumping back and forth these frequencies won't cause any troubles apart from the obvious battery drainage depending on your settings

Yes overclocking can damage your cpu from overheating, some even believe it may reduce the lifespan of you cpu.
If you are running 1512 max you are running stock mhz, that isn't overclocked. You cannot run a stock Sammy kernel and overclock it unless it's been recompile..to be overclocked.
I recommend ktoonsez kernel it can be overclocked to 2106mhz and underclocked to 96mhz. As well as undervolting support which is pretty much essential for overclocking because an undervolt will make your phone produce less heat by lowering the voltage your phone requires when running.
To answer your second question, yes you are not reaping any benefits without a custom kernel, this is evident.
To answer the last. The stock kernel is maxed at 1512 because that is the best mhz for the STOCK Sammy kernel performance and battery wise. Also its possible that overheating happened when they set the max at higher mhz during their tests.
Some good general knowledge if you decide to overclock, would be learning how to and what undervolting does for your phone. You can read up on that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33282284
Ktoonsez kernel thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28399829
Make sure you download the right one for your rom!
If after reading about undervolting and installing kernel and would like some safe undervolting and gov/scheduler settings let me know! You can also find many other settings here:

Sorry that kernal thread is a bit confusing.
Does that Kernal only exist for the stock carrier ROM and CM?
I'm using Triune II, if the kernal doesn't exist for that ROM then I take it I have to change ROM's?

No. Triune is a TW based ROM. Therefore, you need to download KToonsez TW kernel. Keep in mind there is a ICS TW kernel, and then there is a JB TW kernel.
There are other kernels out there. Faux123 has a good one. It is capable of OC to 1.8Ghz, I believe.

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!

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.

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

Hi, I need some info from all the Project T users out there (both phone models).
As I made some tests I discovered that the OC code in ZE551ML doesn't seem to work consistently (or not at all according to some users).
I know that UC works, but depending on your feedback I will just continue with one UC'ed build or keep the normal and the OC/UC build
So here my Poll question:
Who has real performance improvements with the OC code?
1) ZE551ML and OC does work
2) ZE551ML and OC doesn't work at all
3) ZE550ML and OC does work
4) ZE550ML and OC doesn't work at all
Thanks!
I can see the phone running at 2000mhz in the freq table... But no much performance boost...
550ml
It doesn't improve performance but yes showing 2ghz in 1.8ghz..
And as I said I can test any build which have 1.8ghz to 2.3ghz if you want and zenfone zoom is going to have 2.5ghz, gpu @640mhz, if they released source, try to implement what they did in that, becoz basically all are same hardware with different clock,. .
It shows 2.5GHz, but geekbench score is not higher than using 2.33GHz. The score for 2.5GHz is even a little bit lower. Tested with performance governor.
Yeah, I feared that...let's see what this poll says, then I can decide if I at least keep the underclocking and keep only the UC version
Intel processors are probably well locked. If tdp throttling is an issue, that can be worked with, but playing with the multiplier is probably out. If anything building a kernel with support for implausibly high frequencies could be a good test. If the phone "works" at 4ghz....

As I sayed in the Kernel-Thread, all my testing makes clear, that on my phone OC doesn't really work. I see the higher clock used in CPU Spy / Kernel Adiutor but there is no performanceimprovement (551ML).
Thank you for your work. And maybe, there is a solution to unlock the SoC.
