[Q] sgs3 lag help - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi, ill try to be quick
I am on stock android 4.1.1 rooted. stock kernel. power saving mode off. full battery. half storage space still empty. Everything should be running smoothly.
The problem is that when I go to play games like nova 3 or modern combat 4, there is a significant amount of lag and stuttering and loss of frame rate.
Sgs3 is a good phone and this is a good processor even though its not the international version...
Does anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks

Have you tried to get the update? You are behind a little. The latest stock version is 4.1.2, build MD4. Not sure if that's your issue but it might help. You may need to do a factory reset as well.

I just noticed that you are rooted. You should back everything up, download all the new stuff from freeza's thread, wipe, and flash.

Hey thank you very much for the reply. I will try that
In the mean time, can anyone give confirmation that these applications run on this phone?

Just a thought... why did you suggest freeza's thread (this is a custom rom right)? Would cyanogenmod work? I have been trying to find time to flash to that and get a kernel for overclocking.

No that's a stock sprint rom on Freeza's just rooted. MD4 is the latest update.

So basically you guys are just saying to update to latest firmware. I'll try that when I get time but it hasn't helped any before. I guess I'll try again...
Thanks for the help so far

People said they had better smoothness with the newest kernel and such...so like said above, just flash the WHOLE rom, not just the firmware, because the firmware will only affect your mobile data reception, not the performance of your phone.

Alright well thanks so far. I flashed the whole rom, the firmware, and the optimized kernel. Still glitchy and laggy. Any other ideas?

Crossbreeder might help a little but I'm just looking why my phone isn't able to run these applications. This phone should be able to run them fine but mine lags like crazy.

Anyone else have any other ideas?

I would recommend changing the kernel to one which you can tweak a little. Change the governor and such. That way you can get a more performance based tune for the games. This should eliminate the lag and choppy results your getting now. I know with ktoonsez KT747 kernel and the different tweaks in the Team Kernelizers thread you can actually save several different profiles if you wish to run one for battery saving, another for performance.
Also keep in mind the games with the issues, are these online games that are relying on a data connection? Could the lag be a data speed issue and not a processor speed issue?

Thank you. These can be online games but the campaign is just as laggy if not worse. I guess my next option is to flash a new kernel and then to overclock after that. My question is that why would this devise not be able to run these applications?
Well thanks for the help everyone. If anyone has gotten either of these games to run on this device or have any other ideas feel free to say something.
Thanks

Question about Jedi Mind Trick instrustions

I want to try out the Jedi Mind Trick ROM but I have a question about the instructions before I flash it. At the end the OP says "DO NOT RESTORE DATA!!!". Can someone clarify what this means. Does that mean don't restore your apps that you backed up using titanium back up for example? Sorry for posting here but i'm new so i can't post in dev section yet.
You can restore apps, but that's all. When you get the option to restore apps only or apps+data, choose apps only.
You should never restore data to any rom, it causes issues more times than not.

I have a few more questions to add to this thread. In the op the features say that there is cpu sleeper on this ROM so does that mean i dont have to download the separate app? Will it work in its own right out of the box? Also is there a way to under clock this ROM with setcpu or should I just leave it the way it is? Thanks in advance!

Sleeper script is built in. Radio should match your android version. If you are on gb now, you need to flash the uvle1 radio for ics. Communication between your radio and rom will go haywire if they don't match versions. Being able to change kernel/CPU frequencies depends in your kernel and what permissions your rom has. Play around with it, it should be fun to explore and sometimes the risk is what makes technology fun, but also creates advancement. You might discover something the rest of us haven't. This world is about sharing and discovering, but also a way to become self sufficient. The whole teach a man to fish adage

Alright I've flashed the ucle1 radio. I also installed setcpu. I set it to power save right now. Are there any setting you would recommend to maximize my battery. I don't intend to do any over clocking but rather under clocking. Has any one experimented with what max frequency would give okay and stable performance?

Settings that other people use often are irrelevant to know. We all have different apps, add-ons, and use our phones for different things. Honestly the best thing you can do is create a back up of a stable point and then play around with it. If something goes wonky, you can restore and try something different.

No need to use the sleeper app, Faux has it baked into the kernel. I'm mobile so can't link now (lazy) but should be first page on android development page for the radios easy to use flash em in recovery like the rest. The dev has been real cool about any and all questions, laid back forum over all. Its a great ROM

I've ran streamline kernel and boot looped, dark side allows for UC which I'm a big fan of, been running the Faux kernels for days now and just let the system control it I've had no issues with looping or anything else and I'm getting some great battery life with Faux

Oh wow, I have stock rooted gb now too and I didn't know the difference. So what would the instructions be from gb? Like when do you flash the radio? Can I use dark sides radio? Do you have to flash a kernel? If so when and which one? Otherwise it seems like dark sides instructions are more complete and easier from gb.
How long does it usually take for the ROM to settle in? I've been using it for two days now and the battery isn't worse but it's about the same as stock gb. When should I be seeing some improvements? And has anyone in nyc tried out the new note radio?
also what was the default CPU speed on this rom? I want to run it the way it is for a while before tweaking speeds. I already changed it around with setcpu and now idk what to change back to before I uninstall it.
When I was in NYC this summer, the UVLC8 radio worked very well for me.

Alright thanks I will try out that one. I usually have generally a good amount of bars its just that some places in my house have bad reception. The second i step out and I have full bars lol.

faster performance with the debloated rom?

Just curious to hear from those of you who tried cleanrom or one of the other debloated roms? I'm still hedging on rooting now or waiting a little longer. Has anyone tried before and after benchmarks to see if theres a real difference between just disabling the apps in stock vs flashing one of the roms? I'm also curious to know if the lag when waking the screen got any better.
thank you
Those ROMs have a bit more done than just debloating.

Was i supposed to type the entire release notes out? My question remains the same.
You might as well go ahead and root now so you can see for yourself. To me, my phone was just as snappy running the stock rom. But I still want all the features we get from our dev's. They are doing some awesome things right now.

The perseous kernel runs bad imo. Takes the smoothness away I noticed.

I see it. On all benchmarks too. Try it on quadrant when the planet shows up. You will see it skip alot. Th en compare it to stock.
i observe the opposite. it's about 10 times smoother on perseus than stock.

I hate to be "that guy" but really...why did you think that DEVELOPMENT would be a better place to post this than Q&A?
It's pretty much Perseus or stock. Stock runs fine for me as is.
I think different phones handle kernels different ways. My battery is better stock. Also why can people post in development. You should have to be a dev or get permission from a mod if your new.

Probably cause it really doesn't happen that often. They'll move it soon enough. I just hate opening up the forum & at the top see that the thread count has changed, so I start looking for a new rom, only to find something like this.

I just loaded deodex lk8 fresh installed. perseous 31 and it makes my phone run jerky. I play arcane legends aswell and its noticable there too. stock is smooth for me.
I'm using ljc. I have force gpu rendering checked also. Seems to help a little.
Hmm I noticed that frame skipping too, but even when forcing performance at 1.8ghz and capping the gpu at 533mhz it still happens (even though its capping the vsync)
but besides that perseus kernel runs smooth for everything use.
I wonder what's causing it. I haven't tried stock yet. (no joke I rooted this phone within an hour or so of owning it. Didn't even mess with it stock outside of activating it)
No one sees this really? I have a cov worker with the same setup. installed the kernel and his does the same jerkyness. so it can't be my device. I'm very keen to stuff like this btw.

Quadrant has issues on ics and jb anyways and benchmark apps really dont tell give you a look at the whole situation. I'm running perseus v31 on my rom and have it overclocked to 1.8ghz cpu and 800mhz gpu and undervolted 75mv cpu and 50mv gpu and its way smoother than stock. But then again I've odexed and optimized my rom and slightly modified the kernel a tad but b4 the modifications and odexing etc it ran just fine on deodexed ljc

back to my original idea. It would be nice to have a total stock kernel with no tweaks at all but just the ability to overclock. anyone else want something like this?
Has anyone tried overclocking stock kernel with tegrak? I have my paid version and think I'm going to take it for a test run. Haven't really used it since my og epic days. Didn't really use it on the E4GT.

KT747 Questions!

Hi all, i am currently running tasks aokp rom (latest). I am on underwear and wanted to get KT747, hearing a lot about it! So I have a couple of question!
1) Is the aosp version for aokp as well?
2) How is the battery life if combined with tasks?
3) which governer would be the best for a noobie like me?
4) How is the battery drain on idle (how much percent per hour)?
5) I read that if I flash this kernel and try to go back to rom I have to reinstall the wifi and Bluetooth drivers, How can I do this (what are the steps in case this does happen, so I know before hand)?
Thanks in advance!
You should spend a few hours reading in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886233
1.) Yes
2) Battery life and kernel performance/response will always be device dependent and vary dramatically from device to device.
3) If you're using KT's kernel, I suggest using his governor, Ktoonservative. KT even shared his own setting recommendations in his thread.
4.) Idle battery will again vary between device and settings, but to give you an idea, I had about 10hrs of battery time , 1hr15m screen and was at 67%. So, in my personal experience, battery life is phenomenal.

Keep it default meaning what the kernel governor, scheduler and voltages, etc are when freshly installed? If so, yes. Though the beauty of the kernel is the customization and control.

That seems kinda low for an overclock gn2. What ROM are you running? If you are custom right now try stock without any mods to it and see what you get. You also may want to try and undervolt it. Also check what CPU settings you are running using setcpu or nofrills. Change the setting to performance and see if that helps.

If it were me, I'd focus on getting my imei back and starting with a fully functional phone. Playing with unsupported (for our device) roms (such as the TW 4.3) or modems is a typical way to lose the imei. I am referring to the other request for support thread you posted.
Lag sucks. Not being able to use your phone as a phone is worse. Focus on one problem at a time.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
4.1.2, no OC whatsoever, and my phone is a Beast!
Given the status of my phone. Being on custom clean rom didnt really need to OC or anything. OC tends to make my note 2 unstable and bring the battery life down a little. Think the cons out weighs the pros really.
