Got mine today, really dissapointed so far. Awful screen, laggy as hell, poor button placement.
Tried it with dead trigger, didn't work all that well.
On top of that it has stuck green pixel near the middle, since the resolution is quite low it sticks out a lot ;(
The only good thing I've seen so far is the mapping software, it's buggy but very intuitive.

I've had it since the 19th, I got it purely for emulators.
The SNES and Genesis are perfect, the N64 is full speed but there's some rendering issues, the PS1 it plays but you can tell it's struggling.
The buttons are awesome and the mapping tool works fine, apparently there's going to be an update soon, but I haven't notice a problem.
Overall I really like it, plying games with the buttons is a million times easier than thumbling round a touch screen.

N64oid laggy

Anybody notice that N64oid runs slightly laggy on the One X? It was smoother on my Desire HD
I'm playing Zelda on my phone, and its running very smooth.
Don't get me wrong the games work pretty much full speed but every few seconds the game will jerk and slowdown slightly, I've noticed this on both Mario 64 and Goldeneye. I shall have to try some other games too
I can confirm that games such as Mario Kart and Mario 64 have slight lag spikes, but I really have no other material to compare this to. So I can't say if performance is worse or better than, say, an SII.
Ah that's ok, I thought it was me. Must be a Tegra 3 thing, hopefully they'll fix it soon enough. Both Mario games were fine on my old Desire HD. Ah well at least the emulator works haha

I suspect the emulator isn't even multi-threaded, so there is a big room for improvement.
I hope the developer implements it, Goldeneye would be perfect with a slight speed increase
Cheers for testing anyway guys, I'm glad it wasn't just me
I don't know what you were running on your DHD, but when I had the Galaxy Nexus it would do the same thing, so I'm thinking it might have something to do with ICS. Then again, if you're playing in full screen mode and such, there are many more pixels to push when emulating as well.
Same little lags here. Strange because it ran perfectly smoothly on my Prime on ICS (video demo at my youtube channel). Runs worse than the SGSII or Galaxy Note.
On my DHD I was running virtuous affinity (gingerbread)
I am guessing its caused either by ICS or the emu being optimized for single core (most likely)

Can I ask you guys how you connect to play you N64oids? Virtual keys i guess some use but there must be a way to connect via USB or bluetooth, imagine having all that set-up via Media Link HD
Thats one thing I wanna do, play Zelda on my screen with a remote via the HTC on the TV
I use the touchscreen personally, it works ok I guess. I believe you can get a bluetooth game controller for android though or use a Wii remote

Cool, reason I ask is because it would be really cool to play N64oid and use a remote via Bluetooth or USB OTG while having Media Link connected to a nice HD TV
Its the games themselves which cause the issue remember emulation is not always 100 %
U can grab a ps3 controller and use that

I haven't had any problems with n64oid except one rom I downloaded.

A PS3 controller with bluetooth you mean?

must be the screen resolution which is around double that of the desire.
Sorry to break it to you guys, but I'm pretty sure it's the phone. I'm using the exact same ROMs, which run perfectly on my Prime, and my Note. That suggests it is neither the ROMs, nor the resolution. A bit baffling considering the hardware in the Prime is near identical. Others are noticing gaming performance doesn't appear to be living up to expectations, so makes me think it is something in HTCs implementation (I recall similar problems with the Sensation at release).
In relation to the gaming setup you're talking about above, it's sweet - here are some demos of me running a similar setup with other devices:
Probably ICS, many apps need configuring.
If you experience some annoying hiccups during emulation, just go to engine settings and set the maximum frame skip to 0, it's 3 by default.

[Q] How good is the A100 for Gaming?

Howdy all
Long time forum lurker here, never bothered of making an account.
But now I need to ask this, how good is the A100 for gaming? I can buy one really soon but I was reading reviews and apparently in the press release it is described as a "mom's" tablet.
The dual core and NVidia Tegra 250 + Small screen looks really good and I figured it should run games fine but I want people who own this tablet to let me know first how good it is. My main usage will be films and games, and I mean real games ie GTAIII, gangstar Rio, Asphalt, Modern Combat, ect.
Thank you all for your time and I wish you a good day!
- Noops.
I'm playing Ashpalt 6, Riptide GT, Cut the rope, Let's Golf 3, Road Warior.All of them running fine without glitches or lag.
Although Asphalt is not listed in the market like compatible with the device .
The device itself have some bug with the touchscreen sometimes, search this forum and you will find for what i'm talking about.I see it too but very rarely and only when typing.
For the movies 720p resolution is playable and is good looking on the device.The battery life is almost 4 hours without stop playing .Some people say that is a weak point but ... it's up to you to decide.
I agree, it can game just fine. I have not played Gta though. One Problem is a bunch of games aren't listed in the market, so you have to find the apk online and load it up. 720p runs awesome too.

Editing the build.prop to that of the A500 should make it work (and let it show up in the market).
i used this build.prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554259
and flexreaper rom but the game does not appear =(
All of the games that are actually compatible with it seem to run very well on it. Gameloft is finally putting some support on for this device; they have 15 games available for it now.
The hardware supports everything I've run on it well. When I think of a "Mom's tablet" I think Kindle Fire. This one is far more capable.

No problems then with sending the apks to your tab from phone? I thought about just using titanium and hoping that restores market links for updates

Gameloft has Ashalt 6 listed as compatible with the a100. I bought it from them back in January.

How can it be?
I managed to see asphalt changing the build.prop and i installed it. When the game tries to download the resources the first time it says the device is not compatible. This message comes up with both a500 and a100 build.prop.
So now what? (Is it possible this game is compatible with a100 depending on country? I know this is dumb but I can't see any other reason at this point)

Potential of the Archos 101 g9 series

Hi folks,
in two days I have to decide wheather I keep my archos 101 g9 turbo or send it back to amazon.
Right now I am mostly satisfied. I like the overall performance and the nice display for a very fair price.
I don't like the stuttering scrolling (and thats a big point imho) and the fact that many good games are not working on the device.
So what do you think is the potential of this device? Will there be an update to solve the scrolling issue? Will there be a solution (or a porting) for most of the gameloft games in the future?
Will there be a possibility to get CWM working? Will there be a active dev scene just to get AOKP oder CM9?
I just want to get some opinions from you, maybe this will help me with my decision to keep the archos.
Best regards.
I also have 7 days left to send it back but im satisfied with it..
to solve the scrolling "bug":
Only the orientation where you applied your wallpaper, will not be smooth..
So I guess you wont use your device upside down right?
Then now hold it upside down and select your wallpaper..
It will now only lag in the upside down orientation, not in the normal one
(archos logo on bottom)
This works for me on my 80 G9, maybe it also works for you

The scrolling bug will be solved if archos ever fixes their kernelk
CWM is already being worked on be Letama, however he said he's busy until October I think he said
Will devs be around? Ask them

Yeah,the tilting works on other games,i think it's a bug,hoping that the guys at gameloft will repair this,maybe get out a patch soon.In the meanwhille,i've allready finished 6 championships and the game is great,the graphics are good,the thing that bugs me about the game are the "post score" or different commercials that are always shown,but overall it's a great game .
Posted some screenshots bellow
Thanks mates..
Downloading.. 1.3 gB. It must be a good game.
P.s. Can I play it with a bt keyboard?
Don't know honestly,but i don't see why it would't work.

The framerate makes it unplayable for me at stock, it's just too much of a distraction.
I'm waiting on a gameloft update. (sigh)
However, with faux and game booster app it plays pretty good with a decent framerate , but still annoys me that it's still not the framerate it should be & not what iOS users get.
Stock users - I'd say not to bother yet, as the framerate is choppy hell.

For me tilting works in driving. But I don't like the way, difficult to play.
Actually the game looks far better on my new ipad (graphics)

Yeah,i don't know why but on my Ipad 3 (or new ipad,however you want to call it) seems a little bit more better the graphics,or maybe it's just me.

Sorry, (in the nicest way possible) .... you must be blind if you think the framerate is ok .
Go have a look at the trailer on the play store, that's how it's supposed to run.
Everyone I've spoken to has mentioned the very poor framerate, even android police the other day mentioned it to be 'definitely choppy' in the pre-review.
It's not Tegra 3 compatible, not really.
It runs at terrible framerates on both my Nexus 7 & HOX.
It may work, but we have to wait on Gameloft for the fix.
This game doesn't even run completely smooth at all on base 2.05, faux kernel and game booster app - stock 1.29 has no chance.
......
Unless your using a U.S snapdragon S4 version, not sure how it runs on that HOX.

Probably man,i don't realy know what to say,i will compare it tomorow with my Ipad to see how it runs,but for me it's ok,i mean,i've noticed that all consumers lately want everything to be perfect,not realising that we are running on our phones games that are larger than NFS:Underground or NFS:Underground 2 which we played a few years back on the PC or PS and we were totaly satisfied about them,even if they weren't perfect.Probably that it isn't optimized for the Tegra 3,lately Gameloft didn't perfect theyr games and haven't worked as much as they did in the past on the games.But,in theyr defence,we did pay 1$ for it,i mean,lets be serious,we can't expect great things for a buck man.

Lol, that may be true for NFS, but the size of gameloft games are wayyyyy too big in size.
To think Torchlight is under 600mb for the PC, makes you wonder how a racing game for a phone could be 1.3gb. - ouch.
i don't think the price of an app is an excuse for poor coding - the game shouldn't have been released yet, not in its current state.
I've heard the SGS3 also has framerate issues with this game (just not and severe as most of GL games for Tegra3 devices) and that's operating on a year old GPU, so it shouldn't have optimisation issues - but even here, it does.
But, HOPEFULLY - they will release a fix soon, and not wait a month like they did for batman on Tegra 3.
Sadly, gameloft ain't like madfinger who will respond to you quickly and issue a fix quickly if it's their problem.

Yeah,unfortunaly i've sent an email to them regarding the accelerometer problems,sayd they will investigate the problem,but so far,nothing...i am not an expert programmer,i understand some codes,but i mean,how hard can an accelerometer problem be to solve it?
Luckly that i've got used with the touchscreen "virtual buttons",otherwise i wouldn't played this game.
As for the size of them,i maybe saying something stupid....but...aren't the guys at gameloft using Unity to make the graphics like the guys who made Dead Trigger?I tried like 1 or 2 years ago Unity and the graphics made with that program always use to much space.
Reached championship 9 so far .
Yeah, I think android police agreed with most of us.
Hopefully, gameloft will take note with some bad publicity & make a quick fix.
It definitely seems to be affecting all android devices.
Gameloft should definitely come with a disclaimer warning that it is optimized for iOS only.

Graphics And Performance
Even with the above foibles, Asphalt 7 could be a good game. The deal breaker for me is the overwhelming mediocrity of the graphics. Judging from the screenshots on the Play Store page, this should be a gorgeous game. Instead, it's just average. Even then, only on some devices. On the Nexus 7 the texture resolution is absolutely terrible. Everything in the environment looks muddy. The cars aren't bad, but there is noticeable aliasing along the edges.
I also looked at things on the Galaxy Nexus, and the textures were a little better. I was still not impressed with the overall fuzziness of the roads and buildings, though. The jaggies are not as prevalent here, possibly because the screen is smaller, and I can't see them as well. For whatever reason, performance is questionable on both devices. Both will get a spot of lag from time to time, and the Nexus 7 seems to have a lower frame rate The brightness also looks too high, making the game oddly washed-out. There are a few places that I could barely see where I was going because the gentle blue track markers blended in too well with the background. Turning my device's brightness down did nothing to fix this. I could also see distant objects drawing as I rocketed along. That should not happen on any modern device.
For 1.4GB of game data, I expected stunning graphics. I really feel like some of the smaller Need For Speed games look better than this. Asphalt 7 is not ugly, but it's just not pretty like the screenshots would lead you to believe.
Conclusion
On the surface, Asphalt 7 is a fine game. The controls are solid, and there are plenty of tracks and race types. I can even deal with the in-app purchases because they don't seem exploitative. This is essentially a $7 game that you can have for $0.99, so dropping a few dollars on better cars seems alright. The learning curve is steep, but not to a fault However, the requirement that you have internet access is beyond ridiculous. Things fall apart for me when it comes to visuals and performance. I'm just disappointed in how this game runs on the Nexus 7, and it's not terribly good on the Galaxy Nexus. Lag, low frame rates, and blurry graphics are not what I expect out of 1.4GB of game data. If this game was free, I'd definitely suggest you pick it up to try. As it stands, you could spend $0.99 if you like Asphalt racing games, but there's just nothing that special here.

[Q] Does Root + Debloat Resolve Performance Issues?

I just got my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from Amazon and I'm already having issues with it
I play Simpsons Tapped Out and this game ran without any lag on my 2012 Nexus 7. However, when I load up the game on the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, I am having major lag while trying to pan around the town and even while trying to tap the buildings to collect money. I imagine Tapped Out is an incredibly casual and lightweight game(resource wise), so it makes me worried about how 'real' games will perform on the device.
My question is, if I root and debloat the tablet, will this improve performance on the tablet? Or is this the kind of performance that I can expect from the Exynos tablets?
I found this thread, and I was going to follow those instructions to debloat it with titanium backup(I assume I can use that to debloat it). Has anyone tried this and noticed an increase in performance?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help
As a follow up. I just went through and rooted the tablet, froze all that bloat and it's still performing like garbage in Simpsons Tapped Out. How is this possible that the Exynos chip isn't as good as a 2 year old tablet? Is it the QHD display? Is it TouchWiz that's causing it?
Out of all the reviews I looked at, none talked about this type of lag. This Simpsons game can't be that graphic intensive. Why is it stuttering so badly when I pan around the town?

May just be that that game is confused by the Exynos 8 core cpu. The device clearly has the power to run a simple game like that. In short, I think it may be the game and not the tablet.
One other idea. Try running Nova Launcher. But other users have had the same issue as you with that particular game.

That is really sad to hear. I can't get Family Guy working properly on the tablet and now this Besides watching content when I'm in bed, this is all I use the tablet for. It's making it really hard to format my 2012 Nexus 7 so I can give it to my father.
I'm curious if it's the CPU or the GPU that the game is having an issue with. I have had my eye on this forum lately and am getting excited that the CyanogenMod ROM might be the solution to my issue with these casual games. Positive thoughts :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your input. I will say that it handles my 1080p content from my Drobo with BS Player flawlessly. So at least there's something

I've loaded up a few games under my current cm ROM and they have all played flawlessly. Though I haven't tried the games you mentioned, and I'm married a month away from having a baby so I'm a bit too broke to buy something I'm not going to play.
Tonight there should be a ROM with sound working if you want to give it a go.

Both Simpsons Tapped Out and Family Guy Quest for Stuff are free to play games.
I have been keeping an eye on your CyanogenMod thread. I have never used it for more than a day on my Nexus 5 before, but I'm excited to try it out on my Tab S 8.4
Clash of clans works great! Try it. It's crazy addicting
I installed Simpsons on my S 8.4, it seems to be running smooth for me. But I only started the game and my city is pretty basic at the moment, maybe performance issues start with a larger city ?

I wouldn't say I have a huge city, I'm only level 17. Nothing like my level 40 city in Family Guy. But I have a dozen or so characters unlocked in Simpsons. I can log out of my account and play as a guest I think to test on a starter city.
well, it wont' connect to the server now :/ but I will test it when I can
There have been reports of issues with this game on the other galaxy tablet forums as well. Since this tablet is fully capable of running even more complex games I would focus on the software as the issue. I'm not sure if these issues have been relayed to the developer but that would a great start to a resolution.

Back to the initial topic: Debloating can eliminate some of the background services that consume processing power. But it would surprise me if this would result in any relevant speedup (on an Octacore).
Other than that, probably the color adaption+enhancement thing does cost some performance (and battery).
And Mali T628 drivers might not be optimized.

Just to let you know it's not your tab. Tapped out doesn't work properly with exynos. It's the same note 10.1 2014 ed and tab so. It's a software issue

thanks for all the help everyone :good:
Just FYI... The Simpsons Tapped Out also performed horribly on my Nexus 10. I think it is the app. It was never optimized for some reason

It plays perfectly fine on my 2012 Nexus 7. There has been a swarm of lag complaints about it on blogs dedicated to the game. So maybe it's on their end
We now have some excellent rom's in development which should improve your experience.
I just tried the Simpson and couldn't try to replicate the lag problem. Mind runs very smooth.

thanks for testing
i loaded a new game and it ran ok until I got about 3 or 4 people on the screen. i see different lag spots. one happens when it first loads people's animations. so even if i scroll away, when i come back it seems to load those animations again. another lag spot i see is when i try to tap on a building to activate the money or finish the person's task. when the money bounces out of the building, i see lag spikes here. they don't go completely away after i collect the money, but shortly after
the family guy from the amazon store plays fine and doesn't have this lag. i also read on some dedicated simpsons tapped out blogs that EA is aware of a lag issue. however, im not entirely sure if i am getting the same lag they are confirming. we will see though.

Out of morbid curiosity, have you tried my cm port?
