Laggy Games as well as interface? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys I just wanted to bring up a question that's been on my mind for a little while now. I havd real racing 3 as well as gba emulator on my phone and it seems that games are a little laggy. In fact, on other phones, they seem to run buttery smooth. Its not that its slow its just laggy-I think some of us that have seen other games on other newer phones such as HTC know what I mean. Does this have to do with the unusually large screen? I have tried overclocking and deleting all running applications and it still feels the same:-/
Thanks!

Real racing works fine for me. Never played it before until I saw your post.

I have never had any lag with any game on my note2

No lag here either
And I've been playing real racing 3 for a few days straight now

Which Rom to choose for gaming?

Hey everyone. I'm trying to choose a new rom to switch to as calk seems to be out of the game. I would really like to know everyone's opinion on which Rom provides the best gaming performance. If you make a suggestion please say whether it is an ics or gb Rom. Also feel free to list benchmark results or avg fps in games. I will be testing myself I'm sure and I will update this post with results in the future.

I myself would recommend you to stay in a GB ROM they are much muuuch more stable with games that ICS I am not ROM specific but if I feel like in a trip or like a gamer I always go for GB my games are much more stable
Ex. N.O.V.A. 3 just works 1 of 3 times I open it
Modern Combat 3 the same
Front line Commando doesn't even work etc

Blazer rom works wonders for every game I've thrown at it with great battery life also.

calkulin l29 or a stock like rom ics
With ICS roms, I had plenty of issues with games. I've been using Calks EL29 and everything has been working well.
Ive never had an issue on mijjhs goodness rom, but I pretty much only use emulators for gaming (lots of fpse)... I get surprisingly good battery life while playing as well...

[Games] What can the Galaxy Nexus play?

I'm thinking of getting a GNX but am unsure because of its mediocre specs. So what can you guys play on yours?
Will it run the latest titles at a playable speed?
thanks

asphalt 7 runs smoothly with overclocking kernel and aokp jellybean!
no need for overclock..
its smooth with stock kernel or trinity with the stock values
I dont like playing games on phone, so the only one i have is cut the rope exp hd, trinity kernel underclocked to 1gz and it runs without any lag
I play all the newest games with no issues or lag.

nova 3,shadowgun and dead trigger without problems,no lag at all with trinity kernel at max 1 ghz and gpu at 512mhz.i add that i have the supercharger,and one of the negative aspects of it (i red this on supercharger sript's 3ad) is the use of games..but i don't notice prob at all
I only have fruit ninja but it runs amazing
minecraft runs well on fancy graphics.

dead trigger is terribly slow with stock kernel...but with trinity it runs a lot better, there's some lagging in the beginning though
The galaxy nexus should be able to play any games out there besides the tegra 3 optimized ones of course lol. Emulators work great as well. Honestly, no apps use the superpower of the S3 yet so I'd still consider this high end.

Major Mayhem, Zombie Runaway Up, Critter Escape, Judge Dredd vs Zombies, Dead Trigger, Garfield's Diner, All Angry Birds are all FREE and Fun games. They all run perfect too.

I've tried a ton of games on my GN2 and I haven't run into a single game that hasn't been smooth. Everything has been great. Whoever said that is crazy.
Max Payne and GTA3 running without even breaking a sweat here.

Same thing here....the phone rocks man....i havent seen a game that runs slow...maybe it does in power saving mode...but normally you would love the big screen
You might wanna check which forums you were researching on where people were saying that....you might have been on an iPhone forum
Everything runs super smooth here

Nova launcher, as well as Apex launcher, both showing significant visual artifacts when scrolling. Makes them unusable for me So I have to use the stock launcher which is really not pleasant... Anyone has any hints on how to improve Nova's behavior?
The latest Opera browser on Note 2 is also much jerkier compared to Galaxy S3, I have both phones and can compare.
Tried playing wildblood nba 2k13 shadowgun (for quad core) no lag at all.

Seen that
Strangly, Stick Cricket lags a lot on my note2, but heavier games run smooth..
(i never keep power saving on)
im playing NFS most wanted also no lag..very smooth
I beg to differ, no problems at all here

lol Does this guy know what thread he is talking about? Nova 3 is a game, launcher guy. omg
btw, my note 2 is running CM 10.1.3 and games run great!
Maybe you should mention the games they're playing, because, well, to be honest, I'm not a big gamer, but I do play a little and I have had 0 lag and stutter. Great device for gaming! Let Apple have a better GPU but on a 4" POS screen ... Next will be the iMagnifyingGlass!
Huge screen, and awesome performance. Totally recommended.

Real Racing 3

I need some advice. I haven't downloaded the game yet because its shown to be a pain for me to download. Lol. I have played it on my iPhone 5 before I took it back to Sprint to exchange it for my S3, my question is how does it run on our stock ROM with the s4 processor? How are the graphics? My iPhone 5 ran it decently with some lag here and there but nothing unbearable. How's it run on our device? Please don't flame me for this, I just don't want to waste my time trying to find WiFi to download it if its not gonna be worth it.

After my Real Racing 3 question is asked we can turn this into a gameplay thread for how all games play on our phone and what ROM and kernel were running. I know there's a thread for "what are we playing" but I feel this one can be pretty informant as well.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Im on stock rooted mb1 and stock kernal, runs great but game sucks if your not using the version with unlimited gold. Dont ask me where to find it.
Peace
Haha like I said, I played it on the iPhone 5 on release day and loved it, played it for 4 hours straight and got 8 cars and stayed around 50 gold, that's without IAP purchases. But are you saying the graphics and gameplay are good? And the unlimited gold version is intriguing. Haha

I have it on both my gs3 and my ipad (4th gen). It runs smoother on my s3 but the gfx are noticeably lower than on the ipad 4. Refection's on the cars and the mirrors inside the car are just dont look the same at all but nonetheless the game still looks good. Its the same way with need for speed most wanted. I'm running slim bean with lean kernel.
I have noticed tha with Need For Speed. I also noticed when I flash kt kernel the gfx are still low, BUT when I raise the clock speed to over 1.6ghz the gfx are the same as the ipad 4th gen. How can overclocking the CPU help gfx out? I tested it on multiple roms including stock and everytime I over clock it (the cpu not gpu) the game has amazing gfx...the cpu shouldn't do that should it?

The game probably automatically checks the CPU speed and steps up (or down) the graphics based on what it reads. It's actually a really good idea for them to do this, as they can scale down graphics for older machines and can make the game playable.
I wonder if Real Racing sites this too? I noticed Asphalt 7 MIGHT do it. .. it has real time reflections on the cars but i haven't played it on an over clock cpu

dead trigger vs modern combat 4

So I was just wondering why dead trigger can run so well at such high graphics and such high resouktion textures, but modern combat 4 and other Gameloft games run with super low graphics and crappy textures but lag like hell. I know that dead trigger is optimized, but I really want a good reason for this, like does tegra 3 interpret Gameloft games badly? Is the GPU just really super weak? And why do older GPU like the gs2 Mali and the HTC sensation run this game better than our one x? this has been bugging me for so long, is the shader cores of our device not fit for gamloft games? Please answer, I will love you forever <3
The thing is that dead trigger is optimized for tegra 3 device since modern combat 4 no! You dont need more explanation, these is all!!

Oh OK, that answers part of it, but why do Gameloft games run better on older devices like galaxy s2 when our GPU is twice as fast and has 3times as many GPU cores?

Because our GPU are tegra 3 and the other ones are snapdragron, ... And gameloft optimized games foe it and they have get out our tegra 3 device because we need a lot of optimization!! Anyways at these moment the games wich i have from gameloft in my HOX they are working smooth! You can visit here in these forum some thread where you can improve gameloft games for our HOX!!

yeah like jarein said...gamelof don't care about tegra therefore it's always running so sh*tty ....no optimizing...instead of that only lower the graphics etc ...they are just porting from iOS the game and make avaiable for tegra phones WITHOUT optimizing...really bad -.-
