Yeah, sgx540 is better than the 535 use in iphone 4, but it's all about drivers and optimisations. And we can't deny that Apple is doing a wonderfull job with iOS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] _breez_:
indeed, i also think the lags are caused by lack of ram...

when you move the camera around in the game it sometimes hangs and when the textures are in RAM, you can continue playing without fps drops or lag

a tip before you start playing:

- root your phone and install "autostarts" to disable all crap which boots up with android

- reboot phone

- after booting go to task manager and cleanup ram

- go to settings => applications => active services and kill unnecessary processes. (for example, when you close the facebook app, it still keeps running as a service, sometimes almost using 50MB ram)

i reduced lag in 9mm alot with the method above...

Is there a custom rom that has a very low ram consumption? that would fix this issues

For games playing, 2.2.1(JSD) is a Must!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
... what? You're suggesting Samsung over CM7/MIUI when you want more performance? Are you trying to troll or something? :p

Reboot my phone. Clear memory with task manager. Kill active services... just to game? Why not just close some apps? Common sense, people. It's a brilliant thing.

Yes, it's called V6 Supercharger Script. It's like a ROM, but it's actually just a script... and you can run that script on whatever ROM you want. What it does, is it lets you pick a number. That number decides how much free RAM you'll have. Then, like magic, you just have it.

There hasn't been a single piece of good advice in this thread...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lpalvaro:
I can't use supercharger with semaphore kernel, and CF bigmem settings (98 mb) doesn't solve the performance issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
No, custom roms, even so called simple and bare ones, use more ram than stock roms. I recommend ZSJPK 2.2.1, which has about 180mb of ram on boot, and an average of 120-140mb or ram after two days' usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
Then you do it without the script. What's the problem here? I have over 2,000 games on my phone. And no, that wasn't a typo. None of them lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] _breez_:
because android automatically closes apps when RAM is low and services always keep running in the background, whether you need them or not.

why would you let a service use your ram when you don't even need it? THAT is common sense.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oswade:
bigmem kernel may help? its what i use :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] leroys:
Learn some manners, people here are just trying to help. Have you actually tried the two games mentioned in op, you tell us you have 200 games installed is 9mm and lets golf included in these?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lpalvaro:
I've rolled back to froyo and now without apps in the background i0ve about 140mb of ram used, and now 9mm goes smooth. I'm not moving from froyo any more.

Also, now the battery lasts in 6 hours of screen usage, and with jvt only 4 hours
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
Do you even use an Android phone?

Are they though? When I help someone out, I tell them correct information. If I don't know the correct information, I don't tell them anything. Why? Because incorrect information is worse than not helping at all. Few people in this thread have given remotely acceptable advice. No one needs to do a 3-step process, including rebooting your phone, just to play games; likewise, no one needs to downgrade to Froyo in order to game either.

I have Let's Golf! 3D installed currently, but I don't have the most recent revision of 9MM—although I have played it in the past. I have my phone's CPU and GPU overclocked, like I'm sure many of us do here, and I can play both without noticeable lag. I didn't have to reboot my phone to play them. I didn't have to uninstall apps to play them. I didn't have to flash an entirely new ROM to play them. And I certainly didn't need to stand on one leg with the phone above my head to play them.

Bad advice is just bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] _breez_:
I posted what helped reducing lag in 9mm on my phone.

if you don't need the help i posted, that's too ****ing bad. the fact this topic was started shows people are facing the same problem with lack of usable ram memory for 9mm.

looks like you have some sort of magic phone with unlimited amounts of ram memory that never lags

the reason why i told him to reboot his phone is because ram usage is much less in most cases, right after booting up.

and btw, next time do some more effort instead of posting one line if my information is not correct
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
My phone isn't magical, I simply set it up this way. With a little effort, anyone can do what I did. I didn't even write an app to accomplish anything, as there were already ones for everything I wanted to do.

My phone has 512mb, just like yours. Obviously you will have free RAM when you boot up your phone, until Android starts launching things itself in the background (although it obviously won't all fill up). But, I wonder... how else could we do this? Oh, I know! By closing those apps...

And for the record, I just downloaded the new version of 9mm. Runs smoothly on my phone, no lag whatsoever. Sounds like you guys could use some CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
CM7 isn't as smooth in gaming as 2.2.1 roms. In fact, I haven't used a rom that is smoother and more ram efficient than ZSJPK 2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
If you have no lag on Froyo, and I have no lag on CM7, I believe the difference in 'smoothness' would therefore be negligible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lpalvaro:
But i also horrible had lags on cm7, and also i don't have lags in froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
Well certainly. Your previously stated opinion practically screams the fact that, well... you're doing it wrong.

The performance-oriented ROM is not good at gaming? Hah. That's laughable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lpalvaro:
What do you mean when you say that i'm doing it wrong? what i am doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
How would I know? Probably a lot, considering you think CM7 is worse performance-wise than stock Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lpalvaro:
But i don't think that it is worse performance-wise, i think that it takes lots of ram so games that require lots of ram doesn't go smooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] burakgon:
Look the quadrant. Froyo has better fps million times! But cm7 cant lag. Flash glitch kernel. Cm7 stock kernel 3d performance is worse than stock gb. You will get the magic.

Backing to froyo for test dungeon defenders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
CM7 may be performance oriented, but consider this. Gingerbread is performance oriented compared to Froyo, and yet Gingerbread is less capable of gaming due to lack of ram. Similarly, most custom rom makers design their roms for maximum general performance, and gaming is not much of a priority to them. I remember the time when there were several custom roms like Darky's which couldn't support the then newer games like NOVA2. As you can see, CM7, together with custom roms are ultimately Gingerbread-based, which means they use up more ram anyway. And that means that they can never be better than Froyo in gaming.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
My phone, running CM7, has absolutey no problem gaming. I haven't found a game that it couldn't handle, including all of the Gameloft games. So yeah, while it may take more RAM... I see no difference. I still have plenty of free RAM left.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
Of course the games can still be played. But on Gingrebread roms, the FPS can drop for a few seconds every 5 minutes or so. On, Froyo, the FPS is high all the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
I don't disagree with you in any way. There are routes to take to fix this though, such as overclocking and changing your RAM settings around. But you generally are correct.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cwc289:
On froyo, I can play coins vs zombies without any lag. But on gb(stock or cm), even I oc to 1200ghz I still feel huge lag in the game......
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
What kind of lag? I just tried it on supersonic sp5 and I didn't notice any stuttering or lag at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
Plays fine on my phone (I also OC to 1.2 for normal use). Before launching the game, use a task killer and kill all active tasks. It'll probably help, depending on what's cached.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cwc289:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
there is no such game in the market
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] original_mos:
Yes there is at the market.

Yes I can play it without lags.

I am using last MIUI and Glitch kernel at this time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] reggiexp:
euh yeah they say 512mb but yiu inly have 326mb ram aviable. Yeah my father has this phone and 2.3.x is heavy he alsways has 120 mb ram left I killl every thing. And it kills the phone. But its a great phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Majes:
Use autostarts program to disable apps loading automatically at startup like gtalk, gallery, voice dial and many useless apps.

After that, use a bigmem kernel, it breaks the 720p recording bust ask yourselves how many times did you record in HD with this phone. That's an extra 20mb of ram.

use Golauncher, it's got an integrated task manager very useful to close unwanted apps. Lock apps like instant messaging like WhatsApp because they are going to refloat after closing them.

Do a wipe every month or so, get helped by titanium backup. This is the most important thing. Don't know why, but after some weeks, every single rom gets laggy and choppy!

Bye!

How do you make gingerbread froyo like when it comes to gaming im on froyo now an gaming is great but browser sucks I miss ginger :'(

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zeppelinrox:
If you're supercharged, the rom doesn't matter.

The memory management gets fixed in the same manner and the same settings will give you the same results on both.

The only difference would be if gingerbread has a higher footprint, it would have less apps running in the background.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
Some kernels offer GPU overclocking, but none that you can manually change that I know of. Glitch kernel, for example, overclocks the GPU alongside the CPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] disclaimernotice:
It's pointless to overclock the GPU. The GPU works perfectly, as seen from froyo. It's clear that the gingerbread graphics drivers just suck.

Upgrade your phone. Problem solved

My this reply may seems weird to some people but for me this is reality. I have spent so much time playing games on PC and came to conclusion that to play modern games, you need to have modern Pc, that's it. Each year new games are designed and after designing these games are optimized for the hardware of that year.

Same is the case with the smart phones i believe. If you want to play modern games like modern combat 3, 9MM, Dungeon hunter 2, Adventures of tin-tin, you need to upgrade your phone. Buying SGS2 would be good option, but you can't expect SGS to run the games of 2011 smoothly. On the other hand, if you play games of last year like Asphalt 5, dungeon hunters, need for speed, gangster, and others, it will run smoothly. Changing a rom might cause a slight difference but nothing will be changed entirely bcz every mobile phones has a limit of performance. Now what i do is to restart my phone every time i want to play games like dungeon hunters 2, and 9MM. It takes a minute but at least i get around 120-130MB free ram which is enough to play these games smoothly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dirn1111:
@upichie

You are over obsessed with cm7.

And with strong prejudice.

I personally use cm7 and on stock kernel its 3d performance is IN FACT WORSE than

stock roms. You must use custom kernels to enjoy games.

Even if you are keep saying that cm7 is perf-oriented, the fact is fact. get it right

And when you want to give proper advice, first, you should not tackle people like that even if their information is bad.

Its fine that you correct them,

but such replies with such despise phrases make them piss off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DeadSOL:
Ugh, most people on this thread are useless. If you people don't have any constructive advice, get off this thread.

So far, the only good advice has been reverting to Stock Froyo 2.2.1 for better gaming performance. Supercharging your phone MAY work (some games still lag for me even when I am running Simplicity ROM- which is supercharged).

A good gauge to seeing whether your ROM is smooth or not is to try and run Muffin Knight.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] upichie:
Probably the big memory ones. They require the system to keep a higher amount of free RAM, meaning whenever you launch your game, you'll be ready for it. Multi-tasking may be negatively affected, depending on your current setup—it very well may not change.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Xtinctions:
well.. you have to check your free ram to play such HD games. more free ram reducing lag when you playing your game. I've been trying many different kernels and roms for this issue, and I found semaphore kernel just nice with 180mb free ram in my phone. that means less laggy.. real smooth :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TigerCourage:

my experience about this

Hello everybody,

first of all, I'd like to tell you I'm not a hardcore gamer, at least not on my phone, but like everybody playing some games from time to time I'd like it to run almost flawlessly on my phone.

Here you are my optimal configuration for this: let's start saying that stock samsung roms carry a lot of useless c**p with them IMHO so I'd rather use an AOSP rom.

For my needs, cyanogenmod 7.1 it's perfect.

I have found a good ally in glitch kernel (v13) which is very smooth and runs perfectly on every single SGS I flashed (mine and my friend's ones).

Last but not least, a very big improving in performances is done by chainfire's 3d drivers (which are really worth the one buck for the full version).

So, this is my current set-up: CyanogenMod 7.1, Glitch Kernel (v13 - low leakage - 1200-200 MHz userspace&noop, frequencies under 1GHz are undervolted too), Chainfire's 3D driver with beta EGL drivers.

One very big prop on chainfire's driver is the ability to configure them on a per-app basis other than system-wide.

I've been running lots of games (some for tegra 2 too like Galaxy on Fire 2, thanks to chainfire's driver advanced emulation) and I swear I have no lag in any game I play.

Except for Tegra2 games which runs on a 1500MHz OC, all other my games runs on 1200MHz (ondemand or performance scheduling).

Anyway, for you all fun of numers and rankings, here are the results on a 3-run test on 3 different benchmarks:

AnTuTu:

1st run: 3924

2nd run: 4049

3rd run: 3991

CF-Bench:

1st run: 5385, 1729, 3191

2nd run: 5229, 1647, 3079

3rd run: 5275, 1709, 3135

Quadrant:

1st run: 1215

2nd run: 1706

3rd run: 1377

This should also prove how quadrant really s**ks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] drknezz:
Just install Fast Reboot from the market before playing any games. It stops any background processes running that is eating up your RAM and usually saves 50+mb of RAM after running.

Just make a shortcut on your homescreen and run it before playing your desired game and "Walah" no lag.

I run both NFS: Hot Pursuit and ShadowGun without ANY lag whatsoever =)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DesertsStorm:
Hi, guys.

I have been thinking of buying a Touch Pro2 from ebay, but got totally confused.

I need the phone with GSM support, and from what i could see, the ones from T-Mobile and AT&T have that. Then there is this U.S. Cellular carrier. Some sellers list it as GSM capable, but the official HTC website tells otherwise. And there are other carriers too!

Would someone from the U.S. make a little guide for me, please, on which carriers did provide Touch Pro2 with 100% GSM support?

Thanks a lot!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Well here's where it gets confusing - ALL RHOD's have GSM radios. Even the CDMA ones - they were sold as "world" phones, so they had GSM radios and SIM slots.

Now your question probably pertains to which frequency is supported, and for that you'll have to look up specs. GSM arena or something like that would probably have the bands supported. Make sure whatever phone you're buying supports the bands you need for 3g.

With that said, any RHOD will work... but will it work on 3g... I don't know. You didn't even say what carrier you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DesertsStorm:
I am from Ukraine, so Quad Band GSM capability is preferable, 'cause if I'm not mistaken, our domestic carriers are 2G and use GSM 900/1800.

So, by saying that all Rhodiums have GSM radios you mean that I can buy a U.S. Sprint branded Touch Pro2 (which is listed as CDMA only, and which I like the most by its looks :p ) and can still use it on a GSM network? That's terrific news, even if flashing a ROM or a radio is needed, but... Are you ABSOLUTELY 100% sure about that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
I have a Sprint TP2, and it does in fact have a GSM radio/SIM slot. However, I'm not that familiar with the device and what bands it supports.

The RHOD400/500 is more desirable IMHO, because it has a dedicated 3.5mm jack for headphones ;).

Let me see if I can find official band info.

Hopefully this image helps:

Original thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DesertsStorm:
I'm not that concerned about the phone having a 3.5 slot, as about it being capable to make a call LOL! Still, from what I can see at the official HTC website, only the T-Mobile and AT&T version do not have it.

Also, thank you for the link! The thread explains a lot!
