The initial Wild Blood 1.0.7 had full effects and it ran bad on Tegra 3 devices (especially the slower ones like the Nexus 7)
Gameloft quickly botched the game with the v1.0.8 update and downgraded most effects to make it run well on Most Tegra 3 device
check this post for screenshots comparison and how to return your game to v1.0.7
Interestingly the game runs well on stock 2.17 kernel with gaming boost, yet it runs very bad on the One X gaming optimized kernels like Faux, Tegrastats revealed it's using only one core, without gaming boost it rarely crossed 50% load and with boost it rarely crosses 82% load, in other words this game is not using the Tegra 3 CPU at all
Not only it doesn't even begin to use the CPU, Gameloft still fails to optimize their games for the Tegra 3 GPU shortcomings for example Wildblood has an high level of Anisotropic filtering and our GPU is pixel fill rate bound, a reduction to this filtering could have been enough to relief the GPU instead of killing off all the effects
The very best way to play wildblood v1.0.7 is using the One X base 2.17 stock with gaming boost 2.1 or even better with the custom gaming enhanced stock 2.17 kernel
For some very specific reason it runs perfectly playable on this kernel even with full effects as long as you use gaming boost
However if you like to force this game to run well on custom kernels like faux and franco, continue with the following methods
Since this game and many Gameloft games don't uses Tegra 3 cores, we will want the maximum out of our single core
How to Run Wildblood and many Gameloft games at the maximum possible performance on custom One X kernels
First Method: Dual Core lock
- Download the latest Renovate Gaming boost
- Download any CPU control app like SetCPU
- First Enable boost in the gaming boost app, this will set the maximum background free memory and tweak the GPU
- Then change the CPU Governor to Performance mode using your CPU app, this will lock Tegra 3 to dual core mode at maximum clock speed, since two cores are disabled for safety in this governor you don't have to worry about overheating
Run Wildblood 1.0.7, you will notice it runs at least 2 to 3x the performance of default values
Recommended custom kernel for this method is Faux 11 mainline but also works with stock kernel, make sure you don't use an OC kernel since this method will push the device and you don't want it to overheat
OCed kernel might have issues with this method
Don't use this method and game on the charger otherwise your device might overheat
This tips is for non Tegra optimized games, using it with the THD games will surely cause high heat
Once you are done gaming disable boost mode and restore your CPU governor to ondemand to conserve your battery
Alternative method: Quad Core + Throttle lock
This is a much more aggressive method and will heat the device
for some reason the game runs in full quad core on the userspace governor using faux 12b1 and it runs over 30fps with full effects v1.0.7
we also need an OC kernel like faux' variant free this is because we don't want it to throttle all the way down to 1200MHz which always cause a massive drop in speed, I think its related to linked memory speed, so faux variant free or ultra or beta, will throttle to 1350
I didn't try any other kernel like stock but Franco doesn't have userspace and ondemand is only single core on this game, the stock kernel has userspace but I didn't try
so using faux 12b1 enable gaming boost 2.1
using setcpu or ur fav CPU app switch to userpace gov and Noop scheduler
set the min and max clock to 1400, this will lock to the throttle speed of 1350mhz at full quad
run the game and be surprised
u can reduce the lock a little if u feel its too hot, but don't set min below 900 because this governor has a mind if its own
In theory this should also work on stock kernel but it will lock to throttle speed of 1200mhz at full quad
Don't use this method and game on the charger otherwise your device might overheat
This tips is for non Tegra optimized games, using it with the THD games will surely cause high heat
Once you are done gaming disable boost mode and restore your CPU governor to ondemand to conserve your battery
This is cool to use on stock kernels?
Nice tip thanks hammy! XD
Any other CPU tuners worth mentioning? I'm skint atm and cant afford to pay for it XD

yes tons of free CPU apps just search in google store, system tuner is one of them
AND YES it works on stock kernel, although it beyond me why you insist on not trying a custom kernel like faux (2 to 3x the frame rate in Beach buggy)

TBH I can't seem to ever get round to flashing a custom kernel, also I'm still not 100% confident enough to do it. I'm not sure on which kernel to flash tbh and I'll be jumping up to ARHD 11.1 soon so don't see the point until after then.
I haven't played beach buggy yet.
Nice tip, thanks a lot!
This method is working perfectly for Faux 11 mainline and the device remains so cool :laugh:
Hamdir,
It's possible to get full effects whit v1.0.8?
What for?
This update addresses performance problems experienced by some users on Tegra 3 devices (including Nexus 7).
The update is NOT required for non-Tegra devices.

Both version is same, just for 1.0.8 version, they've decreased the graphic.. so hamdir just giving us how to revert back to 1.0.7 that hold full graphic enable for those have update to 1.0.8. So, this is the way to make it full effect enable.
@nashshafrulrezza im also getting freezes with the game, Faux11 mainline it's but not the kernel because i press home and i can exit the game, so i think there is something wrong with TB back of v1.0.7
extremely fun and smooth though , this method proves the real problem is that Gameloft is not using the CPU well
@everyone else v1.0.8 made the game smooth by killing effects so you don't really need this method, its only for those who want to play it with full effects enabled on v1.0.7

Guess you out of luck too hamdir. Have you try it with franco? I'm not in mood to change kernel today, so hoping for others to report it.

no im sure it's the games fault, i remembered it also happened pre 1.0.8 update while i can play beach buggy with this method and it gets very hot but rock stable
plus didn't you hear? faux 11 mainline is now glued to my one X until JB source is released, me and my One X are exhausted :laugh:
hold on, i just remembered i have UV50, so next time i play ill try with out UV
anyway i don't think its the kernel fault, if the kernel the entire device would freeze and not just the game

It just the same.. already try it without uv and it really working great at 1st.. then when it comes to lot monster stage.. the game hang as before.
Agree.. it's the game could be.. just need anyone to test it with latest franco.. cause before this, franco kernel working better when it comes to wildblood.. Maybe we'll found out an answer to this freeze problem.
BTW, I don't want to glued my HOX yet.. Still hoping for better gaming experienced. Not because gaming experienced is bad with our HOX but I'm just hoping gaming will last longer with our HOX, maybe same as iphone.

will last with all the focus Tegra is getting and not even a word about Tegra 4 so far
why dont u try Franco for us
but correct me if im wrong, when you had franco and no trouble before, you were using your own v1.0.8 and not my 1.0.7 TB
I did the tweaks: Enable Boost and Performance Mode
Beach Buggy Blitz is much smoother at full resolution. But the device still gets overheated I can blame either the chip in 'my' One x or like other people said the jb builds heat up while gaming.
I remember when playing beach buggy blitz normally without tweaks, the lag in the tunnel/dark areas was the most. With these tweaks the lag is barely there
Thanks Hamdir!

While it works great, this tip is not intended for Beach buggy ill make it clear in the first post
beach buggy and other real Tegra games uses the CPU core and GPU pretty well and they get heated as they are with gaming boost
unlike wildblood which is barely pushing the GPU or the CPU, with this tip it remains very cool
so yea this tip is for wildblood 1.0.7 and maybe other non Tegra optimized games like the ones from GL
the JB kernel is confirmed by many as hotter (so far) if they didnt' fix this, our kernel gods will deal with it, of course this means waiting for the kernel source, once the OTA roles out ill be annoying HTC with requests about the kernel source on Elevate
This is why im now happy that my devices has Asian OTA and will gladly update later when the gaming situation is clear
Alright. Thanks once again.

oh and maybe we should trying playing it for while without the performance gov on faux, to see if the gov is to blame (i know its hard lol)
I've played many high end Apps on my SGS2 for quite some time (IE:Shadow Gun, Modern Combat, etc) with no problem or lag whatsoever. But now a days it feels as if those same games feel rather laggy on my same phone. (Stock but rooted). I found Need For Speed Most Wanted to be rather fun but there are times where it lags very badly. Is this everyone? And if so.. How can I over clock but stay as stock as possible? A guide would be lovely. Thanks in advance

I have a few lag issues (unnoticeable). Maybe trying running an AOSP ROM like CM10 or AOKP? Also you could try the h0tcakez kernel, which also has GPU Overclock. Also trying using the CPU rendering = GPU rendering mod which helps to free up the CPU.
The adreno 220 chip in these phones is already past its prime guys. Be thankful the games even play half as well as they do.

Comments like the one above are just so pointless.. Go away .
It's true though, three GPU in or phone was nothing new when it went in in the first place... but is far from not being good enough to play these new games.
I have also been play NFS most wanted, but i have not had any of the slow Downs of lag your seeing. Granted i am on paranoid android with my CPU and GPU OC'd'... but my wife's sensation also plays it super smooth and i have her CPU undercloxked to help with battery same CPU and GPU...
The game shows incompatible on my SGH-T989 with kodoo stock 4.04 firmware.
can someone help me sort it out?
Where can I get NFS MW?

Hey guys I was running nxt 1.3 on the Xperia play and at first it was running games pretty smooth. Then I started restoring my old games and downloading more apps. All of a sudden the games have become very slow and lag badly. I increased my overclock frequency to 1.6 GHz and games were a little smoother but still unacceptable. I was getting about 17 fps in vice city, 23 in real racing 2 and about 24 in modern combat 3.
I couldn't take it anymore so I returned to stock and I flashed doomkernel and now I have overclock frequency of 1.2 and here's the fps scores .
24 GTA vice city, 27 real racing 2 and 33 modern combat 3.
Please return to stock. And get the best gaming performance
hmm.

Well I am a bit new here too . But as far as I know , I think u can remove bloatware by rooting and using root explorer. I was gonna flash Nxt rom because essentially its cutted stock rom so in theory it should be better. But quite a few ppl like you seem to be returning to stock and finding it better for gaming. So i did make a question about it too ( which u can see) but havent got satisfactory answer yet . I think I might have to just flash nxt myself and compare performance with stock :s. Btw, I think considering Lupus is still developing for our phones and doomkernel isnt maybe u should give Lupus a try .
xdark
you could also try XDark ICS V0.2 Rom, i find gameplay on this quite good, i got quite a lot of lag on NXT. I use Doomkernel V3. Also Darkforest ICS is good, but i like Xdark as it is closer to sony stock look.
Why do my my XS have such bad 3d performance? Even Fruit Ninja lags littlebit. AnTuTu benchmark says at 3D test 5-6 fps and my bro's sgs2 is at least 25 fps.

True, if you're having issues and need a benchmark to start from, I'd stick with the stock ROM until documented testing had been done.
The XPERIA LT26i using an Adreno 220 only gives about 7.2avg and maybe peaks of 8.9FPS using AnTuTu test(OpenGL 2.0)
The Adreno 220 GPU is reported to be considerably stronger than the Mali400-MP GPU, but Samsung seem to 'pimp' their GPUs for higher performance.
HOWEVER, you're comparing the Samsung Galaxy SII 480 x 800 ~217 ppi SD (Standard Definition) screen with an XPERIA LT26i 720 x 1280 HD ~342 ppi (High-Definition) screen.
Plus, there is a fair chance your bro's SGSII is running Samsung supplied JB 4.1 and colour me stupid, but I'm not always sure if you're going see GPU improvements(Hardware Acceleration etc)[clarification needed] in XPERIA S ports to JB before the official Sony release becomes available.
So, yes, technically the XPERIA LT26i is a stronger phone however with graphics FPS, it's gimp'd with the larger screen.
Fingers crossed we see some GPU performance gains in the upcoming Sony JB 4.1.2 release (when it comes)
I've just started using [KERNEL][ICS/MIUI][3.0.8] RaymanFX' ELiTE - V2 | STABLE | SMOOTH | BALANCED on a stock rooted 6.1.A.2.55 ROM and the CPU-GPU-OC Kernel does gives some real world improvements. I ran the Epic Citadel benchmark with and without the GPU modified kernel and the difference over a stock kernel in this given test is approx 3-4FPS increase with both Kernel CPU clocked at the same speed/governor/scheduler. I know it's not much, but still, better than being smacked in the face with a maggoty cat.
Oh and the bonus is that you get to keep GPU HW acceleration, which is not always the case in some of these mod'd Kernel/ROMs.
Hey guys!
I am thinking about buying this phone and want to know how the Roms are for this phone? Are there bugs? Well working cm10.1 is very important for me!!
Scan through the original android development and android development sections.
Cm-10.1 is stable as a mountain!! Also our AOSP and AOKP builds are in really good state and in active development.

How is gaming performance? Is the battery ok?
I guess it's OK. At least nfs most wanted runs well.
You can't however get gaming performance and good battery life at the same time.
If you don't play a lot, you can squeeze maybe 4 hours of screen time.

most hox i have seen only get between 2 - 3 hours, i get 4 -5 with a custom kernel and i've tweaked it alot.
the JB custom kernels have a GPU clock of 520 MHz stock (why it is from HTC) is 416 MHz, you can also OC the RAM from 667 to 800 MHz.
but like said more to overclock the faster the battery goes.
TBH i used to disable 2 cores and run it with stock 416 GPU and it was smooth as butter.
I gave up trying to put CM10.1 on my HOX custom boot.img and all that.
Been using IceColdJelly for the last couple of weeks and it has to be the nicest rom I have ever used, even after CM10 and Android Revolution HD.
Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to HOX custom ROMs having switched over from my Nexus One last month, which would be the recommended ROMs to check out? Just unlocked my bootloader and contemplating the various ROMs and could use some input here. It would be nice to have some of the Sense 5 stuff too if there're any with em...
Oh and how do I get photosphere functionality on my HOX?
Thanks in advance!
On stock AOSP with single core 1.5ghz and Xperia Z launcher. Smooth as butter and no lags at all. Very slight random stutter in games. Getting about 3.5-5 hours of screen time depending on usage but mostly around 4.5 hours
