[Q] Flowless ROM for HD games ?

Hi,
I have a HD2 EU version 512.
I try many versions and also create an EXT partision on my SD card.
But none of those versions can run a HD game without any lag. Also fruit ninja has lags.
I have an approximative Quadrant score of 1400 - 1600, but I think it doesn't change anythings.
I used Chainfire 3D to reduce the quality, but steal lags appears.
I don't understand why, because HD2 has very good hardware.
A friend of mine has a galaxy S doesn't have any problem running all those games.
Do you have any ROMs recommendation?
Thank you for your help

Hadn't any issues with gameloft games so far.
Got dungeon hunter 2, sacred odyseey and shadow guardian...other games like fruit ninja works also fine.
rom is in my signature...but don't think that any current nand rom got any problems with games.
Are you on a nand rom, or on a sd rom? Read some time ago, that s.o. else got problems with a sd build and games...after using a nand build everthing was fine.
Could also be, that your sd card is to slow..

Thanks for the answer.
Yes I'm on nand rom since January but I always had lag problems.
My SD card is the one sold with the phone.
Is it a good one?
I already try CyanogenMod, But I don't really like the interface I prefer HTC sense.
Is there any ROM specially with good gaming performance on HTC sense?

Test your sd writing/reading speed with this tool.
You should also read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010767

Well I've many HD games and none run slow at all. No CHAINFIRE drivers or anything (I thought chainfire was just to let SGS2 play tegra games? maybe im wrong lol) and fruit ninja should not be running slow. Hmmmm dunno if I would say the sense rom is THE problem, but in the past sense roms have ALWAYS been slower for me

Thanks again
I try your software.
And the result was: 8.3 write speed and 7.7 read speed.
I think this might be a reading problem don't you think?
It there a way to solve this problem?

yeah, seems ab bit very slow.
got a class 6 with 27mb reading speed.
you can try to format your sd card with:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Dont forget to backup your data

Hi, thx for the answer.
I went to the link you gave me and change the cluster size of my sd.
I'm now at maximum 14mb reading speed. But I think it still not enought.
I have a class 4 sd, can it be more efficient than 14mb?
If I use you sd formatter, will it also delete my EXT partition?
Thanks

Mhh, 14 mb is much better than 7
Do you mean cache or cluster size?
Yeah, formatting it will kill your sd ext.

Hey,
Yes my mistake, it is the cache size, I set it to 2048 KB.
But still with 14mb reading speed, even fruit ninja wont run smoothly.

mhh, you could try, if it's really related to your sd card, but therefore you have to install the game to your phone.
try boot your phone without sd card and then install it on your phone memory.

It seems that I can't run the OS without the SD card.
I'm on the ROM : imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0
I chose this one because it has good result on quadrant and says that it's a speed rom with the HTC sense.

then make a cwm backup, backup your sd, format it and test it again: formatting will delete you sd ext and ensures that you install e.g. Fruit to phone mem and not sd.
if it runs fine on phone mem you should change your sd, if not you should try another rom.
After testing you can create the sd ext again and restore the data with the cwm backup.

Honestly, if you want speed for os and games, Sense should be out of question. Stocl/CM is the way to go, you'll never find faster. It's a question of choice...

I installed your Cyanogen ROM, but I know know why I didn't like those ROm.
Because it's full if bug lol. The most important feature, which is calling doesn't work properly !
I think I will buy a Class 10 micro SD then this should works with any rom.
I hope !!

no matter what sdcard you buy it will not work.The only way is to install a nonsense rom.Try BOYPPC SHIFTPDA sense s rom from 16june ,then flash rafpigna's kernel,overclock at 1227(stable and fast) and run any game you want smoothly wih no lags.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Thx spookhc, but I not confident using an overclock kernel.
Also it will be using more battery, isn't it?
I'm downloading the rom, and try it.
But I can't find the kernel your talking about.
Is that this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940823&highlight=rafpigna%27s+kernel
If yes, should i take the 1,9 OC or 1.9 OC GB
But is that good to overclock the proc to 1,5ghz???

How do I apply overclock setting??

Gameloft games to external sd card

Hello,
i know that this is been ask alot for other phones.
But how can I get my Gameloft games to the external sd card?
I know there is a patch for samsung galaxy s2 but it don't works on my galaxy note.
The note stores the games in Android/data/asphalt6(or another game). so not the gameloft map.
i don't want to root my phone.
Thanks for helping me.
Best regards

not just gameloft ones...all game data...is it possible to do that?...
If we use app2sd apps will move to internal sdcard not onto the external one.
If someone know a solution let us know.
cheers!

Would be nice. I'm running out of room with all this game data on the internal sd

How about a settings--->apps--->edit apps--->choose any apps--->move to sd card...
Have You tryed this? Is it working???

That will move them to internal sd, not external

If it was possible on the s2 then there must be a way to do it on the note. Whatever mod was used maybe someone can edit that app/mod to use the android/data on the external card. This should be easy for the right person

Yeah, tried SGS2 old trick with gamelofts games, too bad it doesnt works on Note too and really need move all gamedata to external card. 4 games takes up 4gb already and I havent started to try out emulator games yet.
Wish there is 32gb Note.

this same method works with NOTE also.
download "Auto_Patch_APK_for_Samsung_by_Duero__include_Java_" from fro SII forums and use the patched apps
working as i can confirm:
1) Asphalt 6 HD
2) Rainbow 6
3) brothers in arms 2 HD
4) splintercell HD
5) NOVA 2

Hmm..weird, tried that with Asphalt 6HD and it didnt worked for me. Gonna try it again and see then.

Has anyone tried "gl to sd" from market? Supposedly moves data to external sd card
GALAXY NOTE

if u dont want all that mess just simply copy the gameloft folder to external sd and use
create a script in script manager and set it to run on boot and the script will be
"mount -o bind "the new gl directory" "the old gl directory" "
without quotes
works like charm.

thanks .. working with galaxy note..
but need to redownload data again..

The patch does not work for me.
The easy way is to root your phone. everything is original you have only root and then use gl to sd.
I have 8 games now on my external sd and works perfect.
@smackdownn: do we need root for this?

yes u have to root because script manager needs root access

So you have to root in order to move the games over? I just moved several gameloft games over to sd including asphalt and bia2.
Is that normal?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

That is your phones memory the 16gb.
What we want is the game data on the external sd card.
Via root and gl to sd is it possible and via script manager (never tried that but sounds good!).
@ smackdownn: so i only have to download script manager and put your text in script manager? Sounds good.
Is there no bad side whit this method?
How will this work when we get ics?

[Q] [Help] Unable to Run Game from extSD card on Galaxy S4

For quite some time I am facing this issue with Galaxy S4
As the Internal storage is limited to 8GB, so installing Big games like Asphalt 7,8 and FIFA 14 in the internal storage is a challenge.
Earlier on my Galaxy S2, what i used to do was copy the OBB/Data file to 'sdcard/Android/obb'' or 'sdcard/Android/data'. By this way i can install many large games.
But with Galaxy S4 - I9500, this is not the case. DATA files are only recognized when put in phone memory /Android/obb.
Is there any way to solve this issue? Is it only me or others are also facing same problem?

Hi, i would recommend using FolderMount, you can transfer your big games or apps (data and obb) from internal memory to external sdcard, i use it on my i9500 and it works pretty good.......however i also recommend a class 10 external sdcard to increase the read data rate on heavy games like the ones you mentioned above.......

Don't worry about bricking as long as you know the exact model of your S4!
And if you are in the EU, rooting does NOT void your warranty as kantjer pointed out in another thread: http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu

Question?

Hi guys, I have rooted my LG Optimus L3 E400 about a year ago, with the installation of CM9 and CWM. Now, I removed CM9 and went back to my Stock ROM. Now here's my problem:
I want to play Puzzles & Dragons by GungHo.
However, my system memory is only 157MB, meanwhile Puzzles & Dragons is roughly about 50mb, but also downloading its data is about 180mb. I obviously do not have enough memory to fit the whole game. I have already moved Puzzles & Dragons to my Internal Memory(1GB), but how is the data going to fit, if the data downloads to the System Memory?
Any Ideas? Directory Bind, etc....?
If so, please give a tutorial.
Thank you for reading.

It means you have either SD card partition, which is faulty, or no space on SD card, or maybe corrupted SD card!
If u have any memory tweak, then uninstall it! If it doesn't help, format SD card to remove partition!
(Don't blame me if you've formatted SD card & doesn't work!)
Note: I experienced same bug in Reincarnation ROM using memory script! But, after removing the script, it worked!
