[APP] [TEST] Test performance of app - Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development

Hello,
I've received a few reports from users about poor performance of app running on Samsung Galaxy S4, the models w/ Snapdragon chips. Strangely enough, it runs perfectly smooth on Nexus4 w/ similar chip - Snapdragon 4. After googling for possible performance bottlenecks I've found some clues that this can be related to OpenGL drivers.
Could you please download app and tell:
1. If animation of live wallpaper itself is smooth.
2. If animation of launcher UI is smooth.
3. Firmware details.
You can check performance with postprocessing set to Medium and Off - this can be changed in live wallpaper's settings.

Performance:
the UI is a lot more responsive now overall feel of speed is much enhanced
in games:
ondemand governor is improved it now ramps to full dual core 1400mhz on screen unlock, its also much more aggressive in launcher and certain games
interactive governor seems even more aggressive with reduced clock change latency but it still get stucks sometimes in dual core or even single core mode
performance governor still locks to 1.4ghz dual core only
Ripetide, shadowgun and zen pinball much improved n stable performance on the stock governor
Sonic 4eII still very bad dips on stock governor and minfrees
Nova 3 still very bad frame rates without some tweaking
the performance improvements seems on the CPU side and not the GPU
i tested games non stop even locked the clocks at 1.2 the device never got HOT, hoping the temps and over heat problems are improved

now that the leaked Rom has settled I can give better feedback on performance base 2.05.405.2
its excellent news for stock users first! the stock governor has been completely fixed now it properly uses t3 in games
the Rom us completely stock, so I didn't touch anything n been using it as is
all games even sonic r playing very well without touching the governor no sharp dips anymore
yes sonic frame rate is not great to begin with but the governor related issue us gone, I even say its a little better than before withy tricks so definitely we have performance boost
heat issue are gone too the device gets warm but no longer you feel on the screen
some broken games r still broken like temple run stuttering and nova but I rally blame the games I see no faults on the CPU governor
all in all an excellent much needed update, only sense launcher still has smoothness issue, but the new ultra Rosie is running great, we still have the hiccup on drawer opening however
I love how the CPU ramps to full speed on screen unlock and how smooth the folders open
they fixed many other things like the gallery scrolling 60fps on the main thumbnails view
also the weather app is now 60fps
great job HTC wish your ego let's u dump the 3d widgets

3D widgets are good for me. They look better, and they doesn't slow down the phone for me.

[Q] Lag on simple Javscript/Web-based game (APK)

Hi,
I've recently switch from Galaxy W to OneX. And I found out that a game i've been playing (Playstore) lags on OneX. It is a simple, word based javascript/php powered app. And it ran smoothly on single-core Galaxy W (and my friend's S3), but lags on OneX.
Any ideas? Thank you all.
Things I've done:
Force GPU Rendering (in dev options)
Force GPU overlay (in dev options)
flashed ARHD 18.1
flashed new kernel (ncx v17b)

Sweeeeet! Using your guide, I got it working on my Nexus 7. I did make one change, I set cycles = max and that seems to have make the audio much much better, the tradeoff being that the framerate is a bit slower.

Hey, glad you got it working! The auto setting will give you the best sound quality but will cost you some performance.
Try doing this

Half-Life on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 with Stock Rooted 4.1.2 Firmware
Good work, but this barely passes for even mildly playable. Why? 1-10 fps is nothing but a big pile of steaming bs. I mean, why waste time on this crap when you can play better native games.
Also, I think we should all be thankful to the id software, because if they had not released their game engine as free-source, the guy called n0n3m or something like that could have never developed the DIII4A app. Its fantastic, I got a rock steady 25-30 fps without fail. Also, I played Quake 1,2,and 3 along with RTCW(Return to Castle Wolfenstien) with HD enabled 1080p screen size without problems.
As far as HL is concerned, this game cannot be enjoyed at the framerate the DOSbox turbo is giving. Quite frankly,its pathetic and one should not even try to waste time as I did, because the game is a classic and can be only be enjoyed with full audio. Oh, and did I forget to mention the fact that there is no audio in the gameplay?
My Verdict: This project has a rock solid future as just being able to even get to the in-game screen was like drinking the sweet morning dew from the leaf blades of lemon grass, but quite frankly, it has a long way to go to even come under the category of playable.
: TECHNICAL CONCLUSION :
1) PLAYABLE : Yes, goes in game and is playable as long as you dont mind the bs framerate.
2) FRAME RATE : 1 -10 on a QUAD-CORE PROCESSOR WITH QUAD-CORE GPU
3) AUDIO : No
4) GLITCHES : Yes, Multiple, with wierd graphics here and there.
5) WORTH TRYING : Hell yeah, if you are a dev and wanna contribute to make it better, or just a casual tester or a user. Definitely worth a shot.
Wow...this community is great. I swear...people are blowing me away with these kind of mods. Good stuff sir!
HELP!!!!
This worked for the first time but after i tried to load it again it said has performed an illegal operation and must be shutdown!

Yes you are correct.
This update is a kind of lollypop that Sony has given to us. Below is my analysis of this update:
Pros:
1) Improved user experience
2) Improved performance
3) apps to sd option
4) All new Sony apps update including new theme manager.
5) Improved battery.
Cons:
1) No significant improvement in camera. Still experiencing low frame rates in low light situation. Almost impossible to snap a pic.
2) No significant improvement in sound.
3) No new lockscreen included.
4) No xperia Z1 like live wallpaper included.
5) Antutu scores have fallen down to 17.5k from 19.5k (this seems like a joke. What were you thinking Sony?).
I think that major issues with Camera and Sound are still present. And overall, I am not very happy with this update. Though there is definately an improvement in overall performance of the phone which is commendable!

Games like Asphalt 8 on low res?!

I noticed that some games like Asphalt 8 do not use native resolution, but are in low res although video setting are set to highest.
I'm on a stock lollipop, not yet rooted and Knox 0.
Is it a common issue? How to enable native resolution?
Same here on Tab S 10.5

same here since lollipop update, any solution? cheers.
galaxy tab s 10.5, sm-t805
I have also experienced this behavior in Asphalt 8 since I have updated to Lollipop in the beginning of December 2015. I am on IronROM 2.5 which is TW-based Lollipop 5.0.2 ROM.
Interestingly, in some rare cases I was able to play the game in high quality. I have noticed that at least in one case the battery was full when I started playing game. But most of the time the game has been in terrible quality and sometimes even in this low quality it is lagging. Having the battery full is not a guarantee that it can be played in high quality.
I have found out that when I use Link2SD, and I enable to use Android standard "fuse" filesystem for internal storage, instead of Samsung's standard "sdcardfs" filesystem, the lags are getting worse. So by restoring the Samsung's sdcardfs filesystem the lags are not so bad.
But I was unable to force the game to go into the high-quality mode. I have even used integrated tool Hulk-Kernel STweaks to set CPU governor to "pegasusq" or "ondemand", and also set min and max CPU frequency to 1900 MHz and GPU min and max frequency to 733 MHz, but it had no impact on gaming performance in terms of graphic quality. Before starting the game I have also used task manager to free up memory (so I had some 1,8 GB of 2,71 GB used which means still some 900 MB free).
I guess it has something to do with Lollipop but I am unable to find out what is the problem.
Seems the last game update (2.3.0i) did the trick. Asphalt running on high res again. Brgds.
