[Q] Angry Birds is too slow on my htc magic

It is installed on a class 4 sd card. Anyone has similar issue?

Try moving it to your internal memory. If it doesn't help, disable compcache and try again - and after taht if no luck yet, try clearing it's data.
I've not played it in a few weeks since I'm playing with ROMs.. But other people (@CM Forums) have said this helps them a bit.

The game is buggy itself, the phone is not a reason. I have the same Mytouch 3G, tried a lot of tweaks or methods described in different forums, but no effect, so the game is removed until a normal version comes out

There is an optimized version somewhere on the xda forums that gets rid of the ads and makes the game somewhat more playable on mytouch. It's being given out by Impaled.

The version Impaled dished out has ads again. The developer asked that he put them back in and he complied. I have the ad free version (b4 Impaled removed it) and my experience with it is the same: laggy and pretty much unplayable.

I think it has a lot to do with very little ram...
I downloaded the market gersion on my mytouch 1.2 and its laggy but playable.
But then again im using cm6.1, jit, comcache 18% and the vm heap size is 12m
also using ezterrys kernel with a 614 oc

I managed to install the game in the internal memory, but still slow.

i am still on 1.3.5 and with 28 radio it is alot better. get adfree, all my ads are gone.

or better yet like i posted in another thread before. Theres a game called Panda Vs Ninja its literally like Angry birds but runs perfectly smooth! Same gameplay just different characters.

Pandas versus Ninjas plays the same as angry birds on my phone. Playable, but slows down during particle effects and heavy physics processing. I have to close everything and turn my clockrate up for it to play perfect.
it would be funny if someone "skinned" it with angry bird textures/sounds.

hmmm when i play it , it runs smoothly and barely slows down.
and yeah that would be pretty neat for someone to skin it hahaha

I'm very picky when it comes to running games and I will discard a game even if it has slight choppiness. PvN does run better than AB in the like that when it slows down it seems to go into a smooth slo-mo as oppose to AB going into choppy slo-mo, when there is a LOT of physics processing going on.

PvN is great on my MT3G 1.2 (rooted w/ Universal Androot and running CM6.1 RC1) and I actually prefer this over Angry Birds, mainly becuase I like the theme. But I would also download if there were an AB skin.

For me newest version (1.4.2)of Angry Birds laggs to much, version 1.3.5 is still the best one working

how can this app "CHAINFIRE 3D" help our milestones ?

hey guys check this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
this is an alternate driver for open gl that lets us reduce texture sixe and texture quality among others in our milestones
less texture size and texture quality equals more memory our main problem
i´ve installed it on mine and there are some graphical glitches but i was able to play games that lagged terribly before, that now run much much smoother
i don´t have the time or expertise to explore more this app if someone wants to contribute please do .
PS : i+ve installed it on miui gb 2.3 and works fine, please read the safety precautions present in the thread of the developper or make a nandroid backup before you install this !!!

Looks promising, I might try it tomorrow. A word of caution though, it says that the developer designed the app for phones with 1GHz or higher CPUs, so stock Milestone speeds may not cut it.

Decreasing texture size will cause the cpu to be slowed down quite a lot because the milestone's processor will constantly be compressing the textures.

Technically, the CPU on our Milestone should have run by default at ~1 Ghz, but it has been underclocked for unknown reasons (battery problems, marketing strategy... idk). Anyway, with a bit of OC it shouldn't be any problem.

Sadly it doesn't work. I'm assuming the main reason why you want this is for gameloft games. But chainfire shrinks all the writing and doesn't touch the 3d textures :L so it gives a 0.5fps gain and makes all text unreadable

Actually, I forced 16bit textures (not lower res, that is excessive though effective) and set an aggressive mem freeing schema ("Gaming" SuperCharger profile), and finally got lot of games running.
I think that gameloft games like Modern Warfare 2 would run also on our stones. I can run Samurai Vengeance 2 without any problem, with these settings.
At the moment, sounds like the only way to use modern games...

Modern Warfare 2 runs pretty well on CM7 without Chainfire3D, but if you want to play Shadow Guardian HD it will help alot. It is very usefull app and I can't see much differences in graphics, but performance is visible higher (and games need less ram memory).

How to play heavy games on my milestone

Hi!
My MM is on CM7 RC10. I've tried a lot of gameloft games, gun bros and others like Age of Winds and only could play to Asphalt5 and Raging Thunder.
Any of you could play heavy or HD games on his MM?

yes i have finished all these games on my milestone ---> splinter cell , hawx , nova , miami vindication , gt racing , modern combat 2 .. etc
on cronosginger though
for gaming get cronosginger 1.4.0 with pcphobics modifications .. u will be surprised how your milestone can handle heavy games
thnx for thanking

Thank you rrohanjs.
Maybe I give a try to cronosginger, but right now, I don't have many time to change my rom only for play the games . Anyone knows a walkaround to play something on CM7?

that rom is not only for gaming, its very stable n the quickest ive used .. n the best part is its battery life ..

HEY! you know! I'm having that problem since I've changed to custom firmware, in the beggining I used stock eclair and ALL heavy games run without problems, then I changed to custom firmware (now on CM7 RC10) and I have problems and crashes on most Gameloft games, BUT all the emulators work excelently, this is little weird, so can a DEV answer that?? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Oh! I forgot! each CM7 versions were compatible with other games, for example, Spliter Cell Conviction ran on CM7 RC5, but did not work on next versions, nor even on RC4, just on RC5... I insist: weird!

Excuse me roohanjs, I didn't want to said that cronosginger was only to play or CM7 is better than cronosginger. What I was trying to say is I'm fine with CM7, and now don't have time to backup, download other ROM, read about it, install, tweak, load again all apps, etc. etc.
Maybe the weekend I could try cronosginger, but meanwhile I hope someone could give me a tip on CM7.

Hi Hearts king101.
I forgot to mention about SuperCharger. I've try it, and tested diferents scripts but the games always crash after intro video or after a few seconds of playing.

I use CM7 RC10, set the vm heapsize to 42 and I am able to play Modern Combat 1&2, the Settlers HD and the normal market games like Angry Birds without stuttering. I havn't even aplied the V6 supercharger mod. Oh, and I overclocked to 1,1Ghz
Just make sure you don't have to much useless stuff running in the background. You can prevent apps from running on boot in the latest versions of CM7

How do you prevent apps from running on boot with CM7? I look inside all settings menus but couldn't find anything.
My MM it's overclocked at 1GHz and vm heapsize is 40MB. I try with JIT enabled and disabled and any of both settings make a difference playing heavy games.

In the CM7 settings menu there is an entry for application management (I have the dutch language enabled, so I don't knoow what the exact english translation is), and you should enable this. Once enabled you can change the app settings in the app management menu in the normal settings menu. Just click on a app and scroll down to the bottom and there you can enable and disable settings. This only works for the apps you installed yourself. Pre installed apps can't be altered.
And I have JIT enabled, thrown the standart ADW launcher away and installed GO Launcher EX wich is in my opinion much faster.

[Q] THD game vs Non THD game

I have been trying to play Princess Punt THD version for O2X and it didnt run as smoothly as the normal one. Just a question in my mind, THD version, isn't it optimize for Tegra 2 Phone?

Well that one will be more detailed and using more resources so the strain will be heavyier on the phone than using the normal one made for most phones.
Iv played the optimized version anyway and experienced no problems other than its a crap game, maybe its your rom or you havnt cleared enough memory before launching the game what ever the case it works fine.... its you.

Are you using stock rom? It may cause by ran is low. Try to kill task b4 enter the game.

Usually most THD games have more detailed textures, but it doesn't necessarily mean they give more strain for the CPU. For the most part all THD games I've played run as smooth as their non THD counterpart.

Btw I have no problem running Princess Punt THD.

Hahaha, i am on "temasek's KANG build P204-69", so i guess i shall stick to the non- THD version.

just tried THD version on ICS 4.0.3 Kang3 runs without a glitch!

Yes it does the textures are larger so take longer to call into memory but it's made with the tegra 2 in mind so should be fine.
Tegra enhanced games are made to make use of the spare processing power and gpu memory that is left over so ofc the CPU is now under heavier load that's the bloody idea of these enhanced games to make use of the extra power if only you realised how stupid what you said just sounded.....

Shadowgun cm7 milestone questions

Bought Shadowgun yesterday and I tried to download the additional 250mb but after the first file is downloaded the app is closing. Tried few times but it's the same. I'm using ext2 1gig partition and I have a samsung 32gb class 10 memory card.
My other question is will shadowgun run on the milestone with chainfire3d?
Thanks!

Helló
Akkor nem én vagyok az egyetlen ezzel a problémával
BY THE WAY I installed ChainFire 3D and then i could download all the files needed but the game is still not running. After the new game intro video the game's crashed so I don't have any clue that we gonna play that or not. I'm looking for a solution that might help us to play with it. Same goes for Deadspace tho i could play with it once already with a nice fps but after the 2nd playing it becomes laggy and ish sooo... But as soon as i have any ideas, i'll let you know

Could you play?
Did you manage to play?

Milestone have a small Ram and Temple run don't work, shadowgun too. Maybe create a swap, maybe help
Sorry for my english

I play so many games
Hey. Just want to let you guys know that i play Temple run 2 without any lag! Extreme road trip 2, Angry grany run, Zombie Road Trip, Turbo Kids,
Splinter cell HD, Nova HD, Asphalt HD, League of Evil, Sandstorm, Subway Surfers(after recent updates i can't play), Dungeon Hunter HD AND MANY MORE.
Shadow gun.. I downloaded hte 250mb it asked via wi-fi. Although it said 250mb it downloaded 470mb!
I ran it with Chainfire 3D and after selecting play it just crashed :/
I'm running CM7.2.4e. Using minimod's open recovery with which i can overclock it and it comes with supercharger kit.
Phone running at 1150 mhz and supercharged for gaming. And of course i use Chainfire 3D
How do i run it lag free? First i go to running services and stop everything that is running except settings. I get around 90MB free ram
I'm happy with my MILESTONE
Share with some tips and tricks if you have some
Hope my info was helpful

i think kernel is the key
just tried this shadowgun,running smooth but rather boring
im playing aralon hd and rainbow6 hd
using droid as a portable multifunction device
running at 125-700mhz and about 100m ram available
steel droid v11.0 removed/frozen some sys apps
swapping 64m on /data swappiness tune to 100
in my case, sc doesnt improve performance a bit and over 700mhz doesnt help in addition to drain battery quickly and get chip hot
i think kernel is the key
