Currently downloading Asphalt 7 on both my Nexus 7 and HOX to see what differences (if any) there are between the two.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
awesome by the way mate

if you care about temps and Sense UI speed go for stock 2.05 kernel

if you care about speed in games even faster than the N7 (more like transformer infinity) go with faux

Gaming boost app works for both
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'll have a look for the stock 2.05 kernel later hamdir, asphalt 7 awaits me. Lol :)

(Unless you have a link for it)

I did notice my phone currently gets darn hot. :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you with faux? if so don't ask about heat lol, the thing is beastly :D

over 12000 in Antutu and 72fps in Egypt offscreen :D

by the way i play in my middle eastern heat and it never crosses 52c so yea its uncomfortable hot but not bad at all

the stock kernel is the one default with ARHD mate

awaiting you feed about Asphlat please confirm to us if the games has effects on, screenshot will really help

here are some screens with my previous optimization configs for the Asphalt 7 beta
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Both devices are downloading the additional data slowly aagghhh

I think Gameloft servers are taking a massive hit.

Dont worry, I'll take plenty of screenshots on both devices for comparisons if you want.

As for kernel, I jut clicked kernel+ramdisk - I haven't installed any additional kernel. :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
awesome you are on stock! this is the only kernel with lag free sense UI (provided u have ultra rosie) but im suprised u say its hot, its the coolest kernel around

dont forget about the gaming boost app
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I havn't installed ultra Rosie, unless its built into the ROM. :)

Agghh ashalpt 7 additional data is taking ages on both devices!

Both devices have a Max WiFi speed of just over 30mb and I'm on 100mb, so they shouldn't be slowing each other down - I think their servers are taking a congestion hit. :-\

I hate waiting for things grrrrr.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
during ARHD install it should have asked you about ultra, i guess you missed it

you can flash it from the link in my sig, use the files for base 2.05, massive difference in sense launcher
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
If it was the performance tweaks, I ticked them all.

However, I've performed a factory reset since then as damn android started automatically installing all my apps which I didn't want.

Hopefully that didnt remove any tweaks, as the rom is still intact. :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no u get two pages during install its in the second page, called ultra smooth rosie
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'll flash it later just to be sure hamdir, thanks :).

Just 10% left on my asphalt 7 downloads muuhahaha :)

Hope it runs great on both.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Aaaghhhh I still have the 3dot menu after flashing custom hamdir.

Anyway, here are some shots.

It is not running smoothly at all on 2.05 stock.

HTC ONE X:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mate go to display menu in settings and change the menu button

as for the screenshot, all effects are still off just like the beta, STUPID GL

do you see polygons crawling/clipping on buildings? if so they didn't optimize it for Tegra

as for smooth, yea they didn't do their job, so try the game boosting ap, also my config to enable all the effects (provided the files are left open on sd card)
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Done :)

Nexus 7 also runs crappy, so not just the HOX.

Both devices look and run like ****e, however the frameratenis bad n both and this probly makes it look bad too.

Nexus 7:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
horrible! STUPID $@#$#@$@%#$%$ :mad: where is Nvidia how does they accept this BS

ok rant over

quickly now download game boost app and my Asphalt 7 config files

should look this :) runs between 25fps and 60fps

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

someone should ask GL how the N7/One X are running Batman in its full glory so well and not the other games

seriously perplexed
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
More from HOX

--------------

By the way - HOX has some serious control issues, gyro is all over the place and is impossible to play.

Nexus 7 doesn't have this issue and plays fine.

Both versions look and run at a slow frame rate.

Awful.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
dont have gyro problems on my hox with the A7 beta

must be the stupid frame rate
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Gaming boost app on my HOX has helped a whole bunch, gyro still seems messed up.

Touch to turn is working though, and the frame rate has increased with the app.

Not completely smooth, but 10 times better.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea like i said this is the exact same version 1.0.0 as the leaked one

so my guess an update will come soon saying "nexus 7" support like they did with batman

did you try the config trick? to enable effects?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Here are some shots with the gaming boost app, not sure if it will show the better graphics because of the better frame rate.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
No, think that's something I would need to do on my pc right, think your configuration file is a rar format.

Plus, I looked for the config of Asphalt to change in root explorer, and I couldn't find it.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok then they changed the file, the beta had them extracted on sd too bad

the boost app will only boost speed not graphics

i would say don't touch it until they update it

its only the list of the games they said will be optimized for the N7
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
What does the gaming app set?

As I changed my governor to interactive in setcpu and seemed to get a similar frame rate as with the app running?
[HTC One X] boshot:
Is Asphalt 7 playable with a controller, e.g a PS3 one?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mate no

interactive is no go with base 2.05 its kernel and custom kernels like faux

single core mode gets stuck try glowball and 80% chance it lags like hell with interactive

the boost app, tweaks the multicore ondemand governor by optimizing its values, locks out single core step and switches to maximum memfrees

its not as simple as you think :D

check my gaming thread to better understand the history behind all this
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Ok, still learning with HTC :)

My first HTC device, so to unlock, root, install custom roms etc all in one day is all overwhelming. Lol

Just flashed ultra Rosie and my home screens are silky smooth, even with full Page widgets.

Woop woop. :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea i know :cool:
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I can't play Asphalt 7 in its current state without the game booster app.

And even then, it's not completely smooth but at least in quite a few parts it is, and at least makes it playable.

Hopefully they will update it ASAP.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
remember always retoggle the boost mode after a screen off, otherwise only half the parameters work, sorry it's HTC's code fault
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Mmm, if you set the booster app and then the screen turns off and you need to turn on the screen again it resets the clock frequencies
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup

re-toggle boost everytime before you play
[HTC One X] catalindan:
Here's my current game colection. They all run smooth on stock rom 1.29 but some heat up the device and drain battery less or more. I would like to get rid of the 3 dot menu on stock tho ...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i really doubt nova runs smooth for you mate :)
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Or GTA 3. :)
[HTC One X] catalindan:
Just posting my experience guys. I've had my HOX for a week now and loving it. Apart from being so hot and battery hungry.

Just did another round of nova and after exiting got bliking red+green lights. What's that about?

Should I film my experience on gaming? Gta3 is my most played game and runs smooth..
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok quick heads up

don't game on the charger or you get overheat the blinking means the phone is using more current than the charge and overheating

now regarding heat in general the first week it will heat up a lot more than usual until the battery settle

finally the upcoming software having drastically better temps and kill the 3 dot menu judging by the leaked 2.05.401.2 test firmware we've been using
[HTC One X] catalindan:
That's great news ! :) Hope it'll happen soon.

And thanks for the charging tip.

Much obliged.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] boshot:
Yes it is :)

Hopefully GL fixes the performnce issus soon..
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
OK so how are we supposed to apply the graphics fix on the official play store version of Asphalt 7?

The mentioned file isnt available anywhere :(
[HTC One X] boshot:
I think we have to wait of an official update by GL.. :(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i think you can extract the obb file and it runs fine google it
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
I just extracted the obb file with winrar and it works fine :)

EDIT: don't extract the whole thing just open the .obb file with winrar then navigate to where you would find DeviceConfig file and replace it with hamdir's one or you could take out the DeviceConfig and customize it yourself ;)
[HTC One X] boshot:
OK, I will :D

Send via Tapatalk HD
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Awesome thanks!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
awesome than i guess you can do the same to enabled tegra graphics on sgs3 dead trigger lol :D
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Actually if you modify the .obb file the verification check will have to download 1MB (It's the DeviceConfig) so I'm all out of ideas...
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Yeap, thats what happened.. So should i just extract the whole obb?
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Don't exctact the whole thing if you are just modifying DeviceConfig file, either way it doesn't pass the verification check and will re-download 1mb unless someone has a solution to this
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes just replace it with my file, if the size is different edit the original urself n make sure not to change the characters number it should be the exact size
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
OK so i replaced the file in the Cobb and used that. The game did ask me to download the 1 mb file ... but even after that.. the particular profile I had chosen was applied successfully.

Thank you so much for the mod !!!! :D
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
LOL that happened to me! I changed android_medium area enabling all effects including msaa, even though in game it told me to reinstall 1mb, when I played a race the reflactions boosted and it looks much better :D I have no idea whats going with the validation check thing but at least the graphics have improved! :)
[HTC One X] HTInOxM8:
Auralux is now compatible with tegra devices and the hox. :D pretty cool game. :)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] hamdir:
batman working beautifully with the gaming boost app

very smooth v1.0.6 but i have to say by default its not

and on the Nexus 7 its not smooth at all
[HTC One X] nadejo:
Please create a rom which is fully optimized for gaming. It should contain all scripts installed and have optimized governors. otherwise it will take always long to reoptimize the rom after an update.
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Your kidding right?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
renovate Rom will soon include the app in it and so it will the ROM for gaming

ill work with wilkyyy on all the optimizations

for now its really easy u just need the gaming app
[HTC One X] nadejo:
Yeah but i use jellybean and the app cant be installed on android 4.1.X

Jelly bean has better performane than icecream sandwich so that rom should be jelly bean
[HTC One X] timlambo:
He can focus on ICS if he wants to:rolleyes:. I'm also on jb, but just use the conventional method with the scripts.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Actually this has nothing to do with ICS or JB, it relates to the Sense SDK and since we still don't have a Sense JB release the app will not work on JB

for now without wilkyyy or a solution around you can still use the scripts in my gaming guide

or use a Setcpu profile to set them permanently

Finally i have a Nexus 7 and i can tell you for sure there are no benefits to gaming in the JB update, all the benefits are actually from the Nvidia 3.x newer drivers which we already have them all in the latest Faux kernels

Sense 2.05.401.2 base + Gaming boost + Faux kernel = 200% faster than stock Nexus 7
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
It's time for my ASPHALT 7 Graphics config for ya'll :)

Link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?x8g843b4fqhazbj

What it does:

Since our HOX's are classed as "android_medium" I simply just switched the "android_high" for the sgs3 for the "android_medium" so now we will use the sgs3 config file :)

I disabled hires maps because it will lag like hell and Instead, Enabled MSAA which looks really nice. I also modded the default values in the gamma.txt file to match sgs3's one :D

How to install:

1) extract the download file

2) connect your phone to your pc and navigate to: (letter of drive)/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM/

3) move "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.obb" onto your pc

4) get 7zip up and open the .obb file

5) replace the gamma.txt file in the root of the .obb file

6) In the obb file navigate to data/DeviceConfig/ Replace the file inside with the DeviceConfig that you downloaded

7) Once done, replace the obb file in (letter of drive)/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM/

8) Go on Asphalt 7 and it will say that you will need to download 1Mb of data, press ok

9) Even though that 1MB data was downloaded this time, it will not reset the graphic values so it will stay on the modded values

10) enjoy the maxed out quality :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes but my configs goes even higher than the sgs3 mode, except hires mode and msaa doesnt work on the one x

anyway ill try them
[HTC One X] demasdestruction:
Would it be possible for someone to continually update the main page with the new 'one x compatible' game releases? I frequently check this forum purely to discover new games for my phone, and find it tiresome to browse through numerous pages of discussion.

Thanks
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea well we need Ali to pass the torch because I think he is too busy to update it
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Actually looking at your files i see changes in the final version of the game

im downloading the playstore A7 to test your files :)
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Waiting for your feedback :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok A7 playstore on Stock N7 = very simple graphics = lagfest

A7 playtore on the One X + faux + gaming boost = same graphics = 120fps or something :D but sensor not working

its an insult GL chose those graphics default for the T3 devices, now ill try the configs above

google and nvidia and htc are all very very very very stupid, crippling tegra 3 with the single core maximum step....seriously shocked no one took notice of this yet!
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Yeah, i tried the everything but Road's config and its pretty playable. But not as smooth.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i didnt understand what you mean mate? the hires map?
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
This one

DeviceConfig+Effects+Post (and enabled Highres myself) :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
dont use it with the playstore version!

that was from the beta mate, the final playstore version is a little updated

also the file posted by ZeroInfinity is not the correct size (this is why its requesting redownload the config file should stay the same character length) ill test it and see what i can improve and post it
[HTC One X] ZeroInfinity:
Yeah I know, It's different size and gameloft will ask to download 1mb but strangely, It still keeps the modded graphic settings for some reason, Reflections is better and msaa seems to be in effect (less noticeable jagged lines)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
all you have to do is fill some spaces and maintain the same character length mate :)

im trying this moment and ill will report on your mods :)

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

ok i tried i think you shouldn't use the gamma luminance it looks ugly

i can confirm no MSAA but maybe the MSAA is applying a blur filter on inner polygons but not the edges so ill keep it on

anyway its crazy crazy smooth n fast on faux + boost even with your configs :laugh: i bet HTC don't know the One X is actually this crazy fast hahaha

i have the sgs3 with me today and i can tell you now NOVA3 is a match on both devices in terms of speed :D

HamdiR A7 configs coming up :D
[HTC One X] boshot:
Looking forward to it :D
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Waiting!!

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

How did you get NOVA 3 so smooth? Possible on jelly bean?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
nope faux 005b1 + gaming boost app, stock ARHD 2.05 base

200% times faster than Nexus 7 and its stock JB
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Must shift back to ICS i think :P

Also whats the battery drain like?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
same as stock 2.05

awesome screen off times

2.5 hours of screen on times if you game like crazy

much more if you don't and screen brightness makes all the difference

im not BSing you ask anyone the performance difference has to be seen to believed
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Alright so make sure you inform ARHD people that they have one more customer now xD
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no need ill wait for your "ooomnmmmmggggg its faaaasssssssssssssst"

for the gaming boost app make sure install the zip file version with stock values for ARHD 7.2.x
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Can you please link me to it.?

Or is it the one in the Signature?

Also i meant to ask, should i use the Supercharger script along the app? Or only the APP is enough?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
download the file RenovateGamingBoost_v1+StockScript.zip

and make sure you read everything in that post
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Ah ok.. so only the app will do everything?

I was actually going through your main Gaming boost thread, and all the stuff actually got me confused.

Do you recommend the Die Hard patch + Supercharger script with the app?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
just die hard patch and the app

like i said in the app, i was just explaining different methods to the same results

the app is the quickest and easiest, it does everything in the guide

just flash DieHard with it (no need to run supercharger)
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Aye Aye captain.. reporting back in another hour! :D
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Asphalt 7 v1.0.0 - PlayStore - HTC One X - Tegra 3 - Optimized graphics [works for any Tegra 3 device]

- go to SD:\Android\obb\com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM

- rename main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.obb to .zip and open with winrar navigate data/DeviceConfig and relpace the DeviceConfig.xml with one from the attached pack

- replace the Gamma.txt in the root of the compressed file

- once done rename back to .Obb

this will not request a re-download since the .xml files are a match in size

Two version are included

DeviceConfig+FullEffectWithoutHighMap_ 60fps

- Added full dynamic reflections without frame rate skip

- Added traffic shadows

- Added blur effect on impact

- Use high quality car shader

- Use second render targert (bloom)

- Added swf post effect

- Added car reflections in garage

- Increased car detail in gameplay and in garage vs SGS3

DeviceConfig+OptimizedWithHighMap_30fps

- A little less effects than the above plus High details tracks in order to keep it playable

DeviceConfig+S3Exact_HighMap_30fps

- The exact same quality as for the SGS3 including the gamma luminance filter

Use with Faux005b1 and RenovateGamingBoost App in order to achieve the targeted frame rates

by the way the game is still not optimized for Tegra3 as evident by the clipping polygons problems
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Bloody AMAZING!!!!! :D

---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

I enabled High-res in the first config and it is still pretty playable with the Gaming Boost app.

Does the High-res argument improve anything other than the road textures?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Added one more config for Asphalt 7

DeviceConfig+S3Exact_HighMap_30fps

- The exact same quality as for the SGS3 including the gamma luminance filter

This is the exact configs for the S3, very playable in usual faux005b1 + gaming app recommendation

by the way it looks the exact same also on the iPhone 4s, except polygon clipping is much further, on the 4s it's 30fps stable on the SGS3 its 60fps rock solid
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Whats the FPS like One X?

UPDATE : very very playing with the boost app.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
what is very very? :)
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Lol
[HTC One X] hamdir:
you know what's funny iUsers

my friend just downloaded Nova3 on his iPhone 4s

its running in full effects but at worse frame rate than the stock HOX as well as constant hitches/pauses

and yet they say "its playable, good enough, it will load and get faster"

now let see a game running this bad on Android device they will scream burnnnnnnnnnnn
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Well, not just playable, VERY playable!! xD

I really dont know how to check the FPS. Hence the VERY VERY! :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
its little over 30fps for sure like the speed on the iPhone 4s
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Probably! Just gets a little "hitchy" on tracks with a lot of buildings.

Personally i was playing A6 yesterday, and i really didnt find much change in the game to warrant such low frame rates. Gameloft at is prime *****iness maybe?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
if the iPhone is their base platform i can tell you they are not doing such a good job

i jusd tried A7 and Nova3 on the iPhone 4s today, A7 slightly better at around 30fps, on the iPhone 4 it looks very ugly, while Nova is certainly less than 30fps plus tons stutters and hitches

on the iPad3 NOVA3 is running with most effects off

So honestly the only device eating these new GL games for breakfast is the SGS3 with power saving disabled, the HOX is the second best but needs our optimizations
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Fat Samsung Paycheck.
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Bought asphalt 7... anyone else having problems with stearing?... everything else runs smooth, but seems rather pointless if i am unable to stear ha :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yea it has a problem with the stupid sensor, the problem wasnt there on the beta version and its only happening on the HOX

GL fail again
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
@hamdir

You have to give this a shot -

Insert coin 7.3.0 + Faux b51 + Gaming boost (+stock script)

Freaking amazing! Try Asphalt 7 sgs3 config after this .. you will be plain surprised.!!

I made this additional change in build.prop - increased VM.heapsize to 256m .
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Just plain bloody amazing. easily a boost of around 10+ fps minimum!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no i wont change rom for this, i tried the VM increase didnt notice change in Nova ill switch my A7 config files and see if its better

but for now im happy with where we are mate :)

i tried the Galaxy tab 7.7, iPhone 4s, Nexus 7 and SGS3 we are now trailing the S3 by a small margin and we beat all other devices in GL games
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
With Insert Coin, even that slight gap is gone! :D

With ARHD i wasnt having the smoothest of the Sense experience, so decided to switch. 15 mins later i deleted my ARHD backup xD
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Good for you mate, i need the full stock features in my phone as well as stock dignified theme, so i can never change from ARHD

im happy with where we are now and satisfied, massively faster than my Nexus 7 as it is

i think the reason for the improvements is maybe less Sense bloat and more RAM, you can achieve this on ARHD by using ROM cleaner

there is a new 2.15 base coming today on ARHD, so lets hope HTC reduced some of the sense bloat and extracted more performance, ill report if we get better gaming with it
[HTC One X] bloodhawk:
Yeap, same base for Insert Coin 8.0.0 .

But i doubt its just because of less bloat. Because i myself used ROM cleaner on ARHD and it still was not as fluid. So id definitely disagree :P

Finally i can settle on one ROM for a while. Atleast until CM10 is stable or HTC releases a JB based Sense update.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Batman added to the One X wapstore: http://wapshop.gameloft.com/us/hdplus/index.php?ms_sid=4&phoneId=5579&phoneId=5731&c=223&sv5551=9193f3b96115a9a55308&from=ADID-147084&ms_sid=4&cf=qatest

that's it i'm convinced! Samsung bought Nova3 away from the One X
