The Simpsons Tapped Out - Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps

Love TSTO and played it often on my OG N7 but now that I have it on the N7 2013, it seems to be zoomed in rather close on the town and it's rather annoying.
Has anyone else noticed this with TSTO?

I guess I can't comment, but it seemed okay to me. Seemed too much like farmville; I couldn't get into it, though it did visually look nice.

Yes! Finally some one else seeing this issue. My guess is that the game is defaulting to the lowest resolution because it doesn't recognize our amazing n7 2 yet. Hopefully it will be optimized soon. It is also laggy at times. My original nexus 7 is much smoother and is more zoomed out. Kind of disappointing to have a better experience on older hardware but what can you do.

What about xposed framework app settings, You could try forcing a different dpi if the module is working.

Thanks for the suggestion! Just spent an hour or so without any luck, the game just closes upon login. Actually chrome is doing that as well...

Well if you are still wanting per app dpi, some of the current roms look to be offering it. May help with the games that can't figure out the N7's awesome new screen.

Ive got paranoid android, and it seems to be stuck showing a larger ui no matter what the dpi is.

Anyone having any issues with this?
Im on 4.4 and the sound seems distorted, and fuzzy. Almost like static.
4.4 issue? or just a general crappy app?

Are you noticing lag after 4.0.2 update?

I'm not talking major lag, just a tiny bit when browsing the apps deck or widgets.
Yes, especially when scrolling through the Widget screens. Also had 2 Launcher force closes since flashing 4.0.2 Yesterday. Hope 4.0.3 will take care of that..
Yeah I noticed that as well... it's very slight, but it was noticeable for me right away.
Did you guys have yakju from the start? or switched over from another build?
I immediately noticed it with the keyboard. Slightly annoying .
Same here. GO Launcher is really bad. Stock is a bit "sticky" too.

You guys need to go into settings, into developer options and turn on " Force GPU rendering". It will speed things up.

Yep, I rolled back to 4.0.1.
Sent from my GT-P7300
Maybe one of the reasons for crashing was the acceleration and they disabled something to cure it but made worse. Sigh.

Switched to the latest version of the 4.0.1 stock build, and things are back to normal again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head lol
I think I'm gonna wait it out with this image till google releases 4.0.3. Because they obviously broke something in 4.0.2 :S
the only lag Ive really experienced is with google voice commands. After hitting thehome screen button you have to wait a second before hitting the microphone- if you hit it right away nothing happens. Maybe a little lag with the keyboard in the firt 30-45 seconds the phones on but thats it for me. Now signal thats another issue and that ones annoying.

It has to do with the CPU governors, not everyone seems to be experiencing the lag issue which is weird. Got 15min left on mikes 2.1.1 will see if his release runs better, if not restoring to 4.0.1 until 4.0.3
Just rooted mine and my speed issues seem to be gone on 4.0.2. No idea as to why that is.
I too noticed this on the homescreen, browsing apps/widgets, web browsing... I use a live wallpaper and when I scroll to the left or right the live wallpaper stutters and just pressing the home button repeatedly while on home screen... the live wallpaper stutters...
like someone else said... I think it's something to do with the adjustments they made to the CPU governor
Just upgraded to it 10 minutes ago
Android nub question alert: lots of people here flash in a moments notice, so are you backing up your settings/apps/data etc using some app to restore after flashing? If so, what r u using?
Thanks

I personally use MyBackupPro, works great for me. Titanium Backup is a very good app as well. Also suggest to always do/have a Nandroid Backup to go back to just in case.
UPDATE: Anybody that's interested, 2.1.1 eliminated most of the lag I was experiencing on Stock 4.0.2.
thank you sir!

Multitasking fail

Hi, HTC Sense 4.0 multitask is very bad, i can't use 3 apps in the background at the same time, first i thing it's ICS problem but when i compare it with Galaxy S 3 i find that HTC really need to fix there multitask issue.
Checkout this video i create it:
here's the video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sw0ALWKCZ8 i don't know how to embed the video here ><"
Any one here can fix it ?
Is already a well known issue. Somehow people begin accepting it as a feature rather than issue.

Are there any known ways to tweak this behaviour or work around it? I'm finding it very annoying, as I'm using something like PVStar+ to play YouTube in the background (for audio), and suddenly it stops working because the One X has decided to kill it mid song or whatever.
When it starts killing active audio stream, I begin to have problems :-(

The only negatives was smaller benchmark scores, nothing else seemed slow with the multitasking enhacements.
HTC really know how to limit us, s-on crap, this multitasking lack and camera locked to 2MB pics. Fixed 2/3, multitasking and photos just under 8MB for colourful , detailed scenes. And we can install custom roms with a little inconvienence. Almlst 3/3 HTC your practices suck.

Resolution To High For GPU

I've just purchased this phone and overall I like it. One thing I think is holding this beast back is the resolution. The GPU seems to seriously struggle - it's even noticeable when switching apps, navigating the settings, etc. It just seems like it doesn't have quite enough grunt.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar thing?
I was using an Xperia Z2 earlier today and everything seemed far more fluid and smooth. I'm honestly considering selling my 2 day old G3 and switching to a Z2.

Well I froze all of them via titanium, some apps in there are just ones I'm not using currently. I would freeze then instead if uninstalling them personally. See screenshots below.

I recorded a video of my screen via some app. In running nova with animations at the fastest for the launcher because I don't care about transitions. Is still very fast to open spots as you can see below. I'm sure you can see that it's fluid for the most part besides my jerk's between menus scrolling like I have ADHD

I agree, and never freeze anything that you don't know the function of. It can happen accidentally, but I've learned from my mistakes.

I do sometimes when using YouTube, there will be stutter going to the home screen . No such issue in other apps. Sometimes the app switcher has some stutter but not too noticeable.
I have no lag and I am underclocked.
No lag here, don't think I've noticed even a stutter yet
Did u install any sketchy apps?
No lag for me either. I am using Kirisakura kernel with its default settings, which is great.

Negative. It seems to be tied to the camera for whatever reason. I use Facebook messenger a lot with a bunch of my racing buddies and snapchat and the lag happens a ton there
Facebook and Snapchat ate very resource intensive apps. You should uninstalling one or both and just see if lags remains. Im willing to bet lag-b-gone! My 3xl is snappy, no issues

There has been some very weird stuff going on with those running Nova. It's not been proven that it's the cause but there is a pattern showing up. I know you've been running it like forever, I get that. But perhaps Google is inadvertently breaking some things with their monthly updates. Why not try uninstalling Nova after backing up the settings and run stock launcher for a few days. Just to see if it makes a difference or not.

I tried that a while back on my Nexus 5X and didn't see a way. But I'm sure things have changed so there might be now. If not then you'll only be stuck for a couple of days before you go back. Curious for your results on the lag and camera issue.

Question Fast swiping/scrolling issue in games

Has anyone experience any issues when swiping or scrolling in games ?
I have posted some information and videos on it on reddit... https://www.reddit.com/user/Stanleyjello
Swiping/scrolling fast in apps (non-games) works fine, also using a s-pen in games works fine -but when you use your finger then that when things go weird (swiping slowly works -but not when you do it fast).
(note: swiping and scrolling fast works fine on my other Samsung devices -but is very noticeable on the Fold 3 and does affect gameplay). This is my second device now as the first had these issues as well.
I have also contacted Samsung (but I am still waiting to hear from them).
Would anyone here be able to confirm they are experiencing these issues as well ?
Cheers
anyone ?
Please could someone help me test by downloading either GolfBlitz or FruitNinja2 to see if they are getting the same issues like I was in the videos.

I tested fruit ninja 2 and seems every thing is fine.
I have some others touch problem, sometimes the screen touch freeze for milliseconds, for example when i am typing quickly some words ignored....
I think the lack of response here has convinced me to return this device.
I have had touch issues with games off and on and what solved 90% of the issues that I had was to go into the Labs and for each game with issues, turn the Aspect Ratio to App Default.
Every game (in particular PokemonGo) that I changes to App Default has, for the most part, resolved the issues with touch.
Hope this helps!
Yes, I tried that (and so many other things).
Would you mind trying out Golf Blitz ?
I have tried everything (different forums, stores, samsung support, etc) to try and get someone to help me test this.

Ok, so I thought my next meeting was at the top of the hour, it is, just not this hour.
SO, I installed it and did some tests with playing. Fast and Slow swipes and did not have any issues with playing the game and even getting some really nice shots in!
The ball meter is at the center of the screen which I thought might cause some issues and it worked without any issues at all. Just make sure I got all the test points in, here is what I did:
1. Went through the tutorial to learn and make shots. Couple parts were a little confusing, but after getting the hang of it, not issues.
2. Played a few holes with others and won them without issue. I used power-ups and some shots without and still no touch issues presented themselved.
3. I played around and did normal swings and quick swings and still no issues.
Let me know if there is anything else you want me to mess with.
Thanks!
Ah ok, could you try swiping quickly through the list of Teams and Players in the 'Leaders' area
https://www.reddit.com/r/ZFold3/comments/px87vm
In the video where I am scrolling through the Teams and Players, I am only swiping upwards (down the list). This happens whilst playing the game as well -but is more difficult to show.

Looks good for me. I am not having any issues at all with the scrolling.
wow ok so I might have a faulty device then.
And you could scroll fast through the list without it stuttering or bouncing ? (like in the video)
Would it be possible to post a video of the scrolling?
Also do you have the latest update (Oct 1st Security patch) ?

I sometimes notice the slow scrolling in random apps in portrait. If I turn the phone to landscape then its quick. Go back to portrait and its quick again. Seems to be very random but usually fixes it for me.
