[Q] N3N Games & Apps Performance Issues - Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I have my Note3 Neo for a month now and it runs superb, love this device. However.. there are few 3D Games that glitch during gameplay
Beach Buggy Blitz- Starts up fine but after a while I start to notice game Glitches, The checkpoint clock and the Boxed graphics on the sides don't act as they should be. There other parts of the game that acting the same way.
Dungeon Hunter 4- (Great Game) Starts Fine, After a while all the characters lose their characteristics.. face.. sword details.. armor details.. etc..
PlayStation® All-Stars Island- The Game itself runs fine, but on the main menu (the Island) it like the 3D is broken (pieces disappear and appear again).
Other 3D Games like Kritika: Chaos Unleashed, Dead Space, Dark Avenger, Dead Triger run smoothly.
Just want to know if there is anyone else out there having the Same Problems or its just me.
P.S i read about Modern "Combat 5 not working" If thats the case Big.Little Possessor is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

Although the reviews compare it with snapdragon 800 and they say the cpu is on par and gpu os on par with adreno 320...however I have noticed games were much smoother on my Nexus 4. At SOME point on note 3 neo games do stutter.

Maybe neo is hexacore so that is the reason some games lag.

Is there a way to disable/enable the dual core possessor via terminal emulator or with scrip? I tried using couple of apps but some didint work and other were made for quad core devises and showed only 4 cored...

I know that hexacore is better than quadcore... I just want to know if there is a way to disable/enable them to see if the games will work better without lag or glitches or if its because of the "Big.Little" possessor

Hello Guys :laugh:
This is my first ever post (or reply :silly on XDA :laugh: . I own a N3N (SM-N750 INDIAN VERSION). I bought this phone like a week ago, and i am enjoying it (except for the KNOX ). I rooted it the second day :laugh: and was playing around with it as i previously had a Galaxy Y :good: . I installed the same app (System Tuner) i used in my SGY to manage all the root level settings. I installed it on my N3N and first went into the CPU section and it actually displayed 6 CPUs (from CORE0 to CORE5) and also the first 4 cores which are based on Cortex A7 were clocked at 1.3 Ghz and the last 2 cores ie. CORE4 and CORE5 were clocked at 1.7 Ghz. And guess what it had all the options like configuring the speed of the cores, forcing them on or off and also changing governors (but i say dont change governors it freezes the phone then u have to pull the battery :laugh: ) and it had couple of other option to use on a rooted phone like FS Trimmer, Build prop tweaks (it works on mine no bootup issues ) entropy fixer (like seeder i think) sd card cache size, oom fixing, and all the other things u want on a rooted phone :laugh: . However i was not able to find any option to control GPU freq.
In short it was the best app I found till now to control various aspects of your N3N including CPU. :victory:
As I m a new member i cant post links i think :silly: just google "system tuner" and you will get it :laugh:
As i mentioned earlier if it is my first post, if I did any mistake please forgive me :laugh:

Have a look at this App to change GPU speed

FYI just tried the GPU_OC up to see if it will do any difference to the games.. But now i get an "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" error on the long press of menu button (recent apps). P.S i own an N3N 7505.
just saying as heads up..
The error was caused by the secure settings the apps asks you to download..

I belive custom kernel is needed for that kind of stuff

Yes 5th core isn't seen by the system itself so not an issue of the app.

U`ll never see the companion core.
It`s invisible to Android OS
management is on Nvidia level
the companion core only works wen the screen is off, It's used for background tasks which doesn't need the quad-core.
It's controlled by hardware so even Android can't see it
so what they using in the video? As that can see it?

Android OS never sees it, but I've been digging through nvidia's tegra kernel repo[1] and the kernel definitely knows about the extra core. But it doesn't get reported over any of the regular performance monitoring interfaces.
However arch/arm/mach-tegra/sysfs-cluster.c[1] defines a sysfs interface than can report if the low power core/cluster or the high performance cluster is in use, tweak a few parameters and even force it to switch between clusters.
Reading /sys/kernel/cluster/active will report the currently active cluster (LP or G). writing 'lp' or 'g' will force it into one of those modes.
You can also find various stats in /sys/kernel/debug/cpuidle/lp2 and /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/stats.
I've only skimmed some of the code, and so far I'm not sure if the completely automatic switching from the low power core to the fist core that nvidia brag about actually exists. Some comments in arch/arm/mach-tegra/pm-t3.c suggest that the at least the first generation of Tegra 3 chips have bugs and don't quite switch the entire cpu state and implement some workarounds.[3]
Anyway back to the main topic, I'm guessing that someone could hack together a cpu monitor that polled /sys/kernel/cluster/active and assigned the activity of the first core to either the companion core or the first core depending on which cluster is active.
As a new user, I can't post links, but here are some urls you can copy/paste

Based off above posts saying that android itself is not aware of the extra CPU...
I have not rooted my HOX yet however i have installed SetCPU to monitor clock speed of the CPU.
To my supprise, it seems that the lowest clock you can set is 51Mhz...
Im not sure if this is a bug with setcpu/stock rom but to me if it is at 51mhz then that would be the +1 core.
The lowest i can monitor my phone go to when i am watching SetCPU is about 100mhz
U`r getting close......
The 4 cores have a min clock of 100
The 51Mhz is indeed the companion core cause the 4 cores never NEVER drop below 100Mhz

how did you manage to get it to install on your HOX ? I just bought it but the download don't start ! tryed through wifi & 3G, nothing changes.
It seems that google play store is blocking the download for non tablet user, although it say it's compatible with the HOX...

I was able to download it from market but uninstalled within my 15min window since it's not optimized for the one x screen + quicksystem Info & CPU spy app can do the same with more functionality
Sent from my Leedroid powered HTC One X
I finally managed to install it on my oneX but I'm disapointed to see that the companion core seems to be never used.
I was expecting to see the four cores down to 0% in numerous low usage case but it NEVER get down to 0% even when sitting on the desk and doing nothing
in the vid which have been posted in the first post, you can clearly see that the companion is activated at least 90% of the time.
I don't know what to think about that, is the companion core included in the four cores stat through Tablet CPU Usage Monitor, or is the companion being never used ???
Also, I have read around here that the GPU actualy doesn't render 2D things (even the desktop), so it might explain why the companion is never activated...

Is ICS enought strong to play latest games Smoothly ?

hi guys,
I wanna switch to ICS. I have 3600mah battery so I'll Oc to 16 ghz and I will do all of performance tweaks. ( But I don't know ) With all of these, Can I play latest games smoothly ?
Final Fantasy 3 plays great on ICS for me.

nope unless your overclock which you have to 1.6ghz but to have no lags in game if it still does just use ramexpander as I have been using it for the past 4 hours... I have seen so much improvement as now I can play dead trigger on High detail and able to play other games as well such as black ops and fifa 12.
to use ramexpander you need to set it to 512mb and swappiness to 90 (and click start top left and let it load) then your down and minimize and enjoy playing
both use does kill battery fast but I lasted 2 hours game play to 14% using mark phyton ics with doom kernel at 1.402ghz no frills smartass v2, deadline
also reminder is to shutdown app when your not playing games buy clicking on ramexpander on notification bar and click start to uncheck box then wait for few minutes for it to deactivate as it freeze phone for 2 - 3 minutes as it takes time to deactivate then exit application and when you need to use it just start it up again.
Requirements;
SD card number 4
overclocked to atleast 1.402ghz at smart ass v2, deadline (1.6ghz will do fine if you wish to use)
ramexpander 512mb ram - 90mb swappiness
games to play and test out
I hope this helped!

[Q] Does binding memories affect cpu ?

Hello everyone
I bought new sd & I was excited to try out some of the mods in the forums & what I've noticed during this experience that each mod I download & swaps the memoreis the cpu frequency will not go to 200 mhz at all , its always on 1Ghz or 800 Mhz even when I use DirectoryBind app will get the same side effects
Could anyone that tried any mod or the directory bind confirm this issue or us it goin on only with me ?
Any useful answer is apprecited

no idea what you're trying to say.
if you're talking about why the cpu doesnt downclock really low compared to previous phones, its because jelly bean's project butter keep the clocks at a reasonable speed to reduce UI lag.
What I meant I used to see current cpu speed through any app like set cpu & when I dont press the screen the normal awake speed Is 200 mhz when I press or try to open menu the speed increases to 500-800 mhz
But after I flashed the sd swap mod or tried directory bind , the speed is on 800-1000 mhz all the time
That is my question ? If u flashed anything like that or even used script manager to run it , have you noticed this issue ?

Family Guy game issues please help

Alright, its a long shot but here goes,
Ive been really into this Family Guy Quest For Stuff game, for those who havent played it I recommend you do!
Anyway it really seems to hate custom roms, It lags unbelievably and becomes unplayable, Yet when im on stock it is smooth, fluent and works flawlessly.
Ive been into the game for a few months now and have progressed well and would like to keep playing it, However I dont wanna be on stock to be able to do this. Are there any other Family Guy players around here with the same problems?
For what its worth all other games work as they should, this is the only game in my collection that has this issue.
Cheers people!
? "Family Guy" and "Big Fish Casino" are the only 2 games I play on Android.
? I solved the lag issues by installing the games on my Tablet instead! (Bigger screen & more processing power).
Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk
That doesn't help me identify the cause though, the issue doesn't lie with the devices processing power because on a stock rom it is fine.
I want to figure out what is different between stock and custom that could have an effect on this particular game.
The game is server based. Could there be something limiting my connection to the server? Could it be that there is different gpu configuration between stock and custom? I really don't know much about how things work but there must be someone who does around here
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
I think you already answered to your own question, when you mentioned "different gpu configuration"...
Try using some game booster app?!
Here some examples:
"clean master" for example, has a game boosting option.
Or maybe a more specialist app like (Android Tuner) that will help you to fully control how your device operates.
? I hope this can be of any help to you,
Good luck!
Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk
Well I've been boosting the game through clean master and it has no effect. I've used an entropy generator to try and reduce lag. Still no difference. I've overclocked the cpu and fiddled with the governors too.
I will give the Android tuner a go and see how I get on with that.
Thanks.
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
Okay so I have optimised my device to the extreme for playing games. Boosted through clean master, had Android Tuner highly configurated and had the cpu overclocked to the maximum possible as well as kernel tweaks and gpu tweaks.
This issue is 100‰ not related to the devices specifications.
The conclusion I have come to is that the game isn't compatible with 4.4.4 as when I was stock I was on 4.4.2 it worked as it should. Can someone shed some light on this?
Also, what could possibly change from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 that could influence the way this game works?
I know it's no big deal it's just a game. But it's the principle now, it's got me intrigued as to what is happening behind the scenes.
Cheers.

Hearthstone optimization thread

Hi, I had some reboots and freezes when trying to get the game to run, but I think I finally found a decent setup, loading times are nothing to write home about, and there are some graphical artifacts when holding a card from your deck, but the overall performance is surprisingly good.
So, if you think you found the perfect setup for your n7, pls do share.

The newest update to android(5.0.2) and hearthstone made a big difference. on default kernel settings just slight lag in animations
Slim LP F2FS m-kernel 1600/484 is very smooth compared to when HS first got released to Android.

I installed this ROM(Slim-grouper-5.0.2.alpha.0.91-UNOFFICIAL-20141220-1511), and performance is really good overall.
But I installed trickster mod and can only change max GPU, if i change max CPU it goes back to 1300, what I need to do?
Thanks.
Hi i have installed freakslimrom and trickstermod can't stick my 1600 cpu setting only default 1300, so i installed rastapop 5.0.2_r1 f2fs version, m-kernal a73, and google apps minimal edition, default trikstermod have 1500 cpu. Its not as fast as freakslim but hearthstone is going really nice only small lags on loadings. If only gltools work it would be awsome.

Its hard building a game for such a wide range of hardware... See Windows for example.
The cost of freedom I suppose.
