Hamdir,

I entirely agree with your answer about kernels.

I thought i was alone but as i always control my cpu and battery stats i founded francos bad for me, cpu was working at 30 % higher than faux with light applications....

Ok for the benchmarks franco is good ;)

I gonna try your settings Hamdir !

Thanks.

Hamdir,

Again me !

I have re read all your guide and setcpu guide.

I just want a confirmation :

You say : " On the new leaked 2.05.401.2 base onDemand is much improved, however the interactive governor and minimum clock controls are broken so you will have to go with a custom kernel or sadly just rely on the stock onDemand"

and again : "interactive governor on franco and faux does not get stuck in non quad mode unlike the stock 1.29, 2.05 and many custom kernels"

and : "thankfully you can also use franco's values for the stock 1.29.401.11 kernel and any other custom kernel (like faux if you want swipetowak) but not the 2.05.401.2 kernel since its currently broken if you use anything other than ondemand and there is nothing we can do for it"

I am am a bit lost now !

May i understand that it is POSSIBLE to stuck the frequencies (max or min) if i use faux 03b10 (it is based on 2.05 isn't it ?)

I just want to be sure, maybe i dont read english very well ....
[HTC One X] hamdir:
we should discuss in the related thread

I was talking about the governor getting stuck, in the stock kernel of base 2.05 the on-demand governor is much improved but interactive gets stuck in single core mode

I never talk about clocks
[HTC One X] py_martinez:
You're right better talk in the related thread !

Ok i close this discussion and thanks for your help ! I Try faux now with all my stats apps !

Have you create a guide or link to improve multitasking : I often switch with dolphin, tapatalk, appygeek, flipboard, and i am annoying by pages updates !

I was talking about the governor getting stuck, in the stock kernel of base 2.05 the on-demand governor is much improved but interactive gets stuck in single core mode

[HTC One X] hamdir:
what the hell

anyone update Mass Effect from 1.0.30 to 1.0.38?

the game now appears compatible in the store

added some effects like reflections and weapons heat haze, some smoke, etc

but the frame rate went down from 60fps to under 30fps....seriously the tiny effects are not worth the loss in frame rate, also some textures r now lower res

they mention its has updated effects for the SGS3 in the play store but...its now broke on the HOX I restored my 1.0.30 backup n the game is back to its full glory

seriously game devs r starting to piss me off

why the hell do they fail to support a gaming centric platform like tegra3 and why isn't nvidia dealing with this ....
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
Because Samsung is BIGGER than HTc. :(
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Frankly I never felt Gameloft supporting Tegra chipset. Maybe nVidia is not providing enough support to Gameloft or they are just not interested since there are less number of T3 devices. Anyhow we can always raise this issue to nVidia and Gameloft because people are spend $$ to get a phone that to the latest and greatest and they are not bothered to develop to take full advantage of our chipset.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Yayyyy Puddle THD runs great, looks great too.

Interesting game indeed.
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
Let's wait for the first Playstation games for the HTC OneX
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
lol I have been playing Playstation games on a smartphone since early 2009 :D

I wonder if the official PSX games will look nicer than the ones emulated with Fpse in openGL :confused: Wait and see!
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
I was referring to that Playstation partnership they announced some weeks ago.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I love the update, it now says compatible for me, and I can now actually use it. Woo hoo

I don't know how it ran before, but runs great on mine, smooth gameplay and awesome graphics.

And no 3dot menu - awesome.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
it ran at like 120fps lol

I managed to have a dual install (my old was north American) duplicated the sd files into different _row and _na folders (no change in sd files)

so I have both 1.0.30 and 1.0.38 installed the difference is night n day in frame rates and the effects r not worth it

equally some textures and details r much higher in the previous version example the hair texture

good thing I had a backup

ill redownload the sd files for the new version today maybe something messed up lol
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
Heroes Call wont start here.

I see the Heroes Call logo.

Then at the bottom it says "Loading data.." then it says "loading game..." and there is stops.

I shows that loading circle at the bottom right corner and loads, and loads and loads.

Till the screen turn off. It just wont start.
[HTC One X] Malooga:
Heroes Call working fine here so don't know what's wrong with yours, you on a custom rom? (I am and working fine, paranoid android)
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
No, I'm on the original Rom by HTC 1.29.401.11

I'm going to reinstall it.

EDIT: Reinstalling didn't help :( I also cleared the cache before uninstalling

[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
Yes, I know, but IMO it comes a little too late, especially for a device that doesn't have real gaming sticks like the Xperia Play used to have. I really wonder what they can do more compared to what already exists now. Eager to see.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I've heard it's really laggy, which is a shame, hopefully batman will run better but I'm not holding out hope!

I'm with you Hamdir! I'm a massive Sonic fan and Death Egg MkIII was amazing, it's a brilliant stage!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
gameplay videos coming up today :D
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
The final boss is epic too!

Great thinking behind that baby!

Just trying to nab the last two Chaos Emeralds now but the special stage for #6 is a byatch! :crying:

Sweet, can't wait to see gameplay vids man!

C'mon Dead Trigger! Release already!!! I heard theres a great opening discount, I hope so lol.

Still haven't played Mass Effect, was going to buy today but I'll wait for more info on the update :s
[HTC One X] hamdir:
buy mass effect from the euro store

ill send you the 1.0.30 apk after you download the SD files

the Sd files will work for both 1.0.30 and 1.0.38

the difference between the two version is some few effects and a massive difference in fps

.38 = under 30fps

.30 = over 60fps :eek:

I have bad news guys

i just downloaded the leaked Asphalt 7 on the HOX

still not optimized, frame rate is ok but all the reflections and specular effects are turned off

however

i found this xml

com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftA7HP\files\data\Dev iceConfig\DeviceConfig.xml

i think we can tweak the settings as we want
[HTC One X] mrt159:
I wouldn't be so generous.

I tried it earlier and fps was horrible on stock locked device. Almost unplayable especially when there are other AI competitor cars in the view.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
nevermind the 1.29 base bro, the performance is massively crippled on this firmware, htc fixed it in the upcoming 2.05 (leaked)
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
Just tried it with stock 2.05 kernel and it's running like complete utter trash because it's only using one core. Sigh, I really liked the kernel for battery life too.

About the xml, we can definitely change the settings there if they were disabled, took a brief look through it.

Also lol'd they have a special S3 setting, also seeing can see all the Apple crap below. There's an option for ''ultra'' high textures, only saw it enabled in the ipad 3 so guessing thats for 1080p and higher.

Game doesn't look very good either imo
[HTC One X] realunited123:
In other news it is the day when DEAD TRIGGER arrives! Can't wait. Deciding whether to wait or buy on iPad 2.

[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I've tried to play the leaked version, whether we have the same version or not I dunno, I can't remember now if effects were on or off, I'll check, fps seemed okay, I only tried the tutorial though...

I'll report back tomorrow... :angel:

Still no Dead Trigger yet!!! CMON Madfinger!!! RELEASE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
I was using ondemand, didn't even try interactive for Asphalt 7.

But yea we should be in the S3 class, but is it just me or does the game not look impressive at all? Guess I've been spoiled by all the THD goodness
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes im trying to enable everything than we can judge

i saw some ipad2 trailer and it looks better with effects enabled

but yea nothing on the market matches THD tegra3 games

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

so i tried messing with the xml file

i basically emptied all the configs and parented them to the default one but the game redownloaded the original xml

pretty clear from these xml files that GL is simply ignoring Tegra devices there is nothing nvidia or tegra specific
[HTC One X] Castellano2:
Shadowgun THD and Samuraii 2 are on sále due to fan on facebook ;).. around 1 euro

Hmm, what if you don't delete anything but change all the values up to the Apple stuff to max settings, apart from the ultra textures. Maybe it won't redownload then

Asphalt 7 running smooth on HTC One X

How come this guy has Asphalt 7 on his HTC One X and it runs so smooth, lag free and it looks quite nice ?! www . youtube . com/ watch?v=-HEMXirnWiQ (Remove the spaces):confused:
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
It isn't that smooth, very often dipping to around 20 fps
[HTC One X] b2k811:
But still its not that trashy, atleast it seems playable..
[HTC One X] Pointlol:
No it's very playable, I've tried (as long as you're not using the stock 2.05 kernel). But meh, the graphics don't compare to THD games at all when you see it in person.
[HTC One X] Feregorn:
The same applies to me. On unrooted HOX with the 1.29 base the game is very playable even with other cars on screen and certainly not unplayable! However it doen't manage to impress on the graphics department, although, it was generally proclaimed, among reviewing sites, to have "near console-quality graphics". Bah! Tegra 3 exclusive games are much more impressive...
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup it runs smooth just that they turned off many nice effects
[HTC One X] Ape187:
I've tried to modify the DeviceConfig.xml but when I try to start the game it wants to download 1MB on data. After that I looked into the modified DeviceConfig.xml and the values I have changed were back to the way it was before. It seems GL doesn't want us to change that file. :mad: I even tried the menubar trick, but no luck. Maybe there is a way to have those graphics, but I'm out of options.
[HTC One X] boshot:
did you tried it that way?

Send via Tapatalk HD
[HTC One X] Ape187:
Unfortunately yes. Even if you change one value it wants to redownload the file.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
figured out how to edit the xml file

you must make sure not to change the number of characters so if you change false to true u r loosing on character so switch another iPad value to compensate

the file size should not size a bit and the game will not redownload it

now I need to find which values apply to our device

I first thought its android medium high def but its not the case
[HTC One X] Ape187:
Ah, I see. Sounds logical. You're the man! Hope you figure it out, so that we can play Asphalt 7 the way it used to be. Good luck!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok solved

our device is using "android_medium" config!!

I've changed them along with some of the parent's default to be exactly like sgs3 most of them worked..blur on impact, blur on nitro, reflections on buildings, high quality car shading and dynamic reflections and higher res textures all worked

frame rate fell down though

I attached it for you guys to see it

next step ill optimize it for our hox

but seriously hating GL at this point tegra3 devices deserve much more...
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
I managed to get it start.

I had to enabled WLAN at the first start up. On the 2nd, 3rd, and so start up you then don't need the WLAN.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok i can even run it at higher detail than the SGS3 but there is only one vital trigger that is killing the frame rate

use_hires_map switches the track details into high mode, including windows reflection on buildings, high quality models and reflections, so far nothing i can do can save the frame rate with this mode and without it the game looks like last year no matter what effects are on

not a single reference to Nvidia devices and modes in the xml...:mad:
[HTC One X] Ape187:
Great work! But somehow i cannot download the attachment, it gives me 404 Not Found when i click it.

the one with all the pluses its also the worst in frame rate

its a beta by the way so lets hope...they fix but i wouldnt hold my breath

Gameloft should learn from these guys how to make great looking games for a fraction of size . Seriously this game is only 100 mb where as asphalt 7 is nearly 1.5-2 gb and it doesn't even look as good as this one does. Also maybe they should start optimizing their games instead if making 10 games each month.

Definitely buying this one.

& on release day sale!
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
Me too

Amazing, that s why hox rulz

I ll keep playing..you should too. My first shop in gmarkt:D

LET THEM TALK, ALOUD!! HTC ONE X, THE ONLY ONE
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Dead trigger is arguably the best looking game on any smartphone,

Its a big F.U to Gameloft, as it runs great and is just 100mb!!

Gameloft release games which exceed 1GB and run like crap on our HOX,

Madfinger are truly grabbing hold of tegra3 and supporting it, the same cannot be said for Gameloft.

And just look at the price difference too, and support - I message mad finger, and get a human friendly response - unlike Gameloft who seem to be ignoring the performance issues with tegra3.

Madfinger rule,

Dead trigger is awesome

And anyone - ANYONE, who owns a tegra3 device should buy this IMMEDIATELY!

... can't wait to play this on my nexus 7 in a few weeks aswell! (With all the tegra enhancements muuuhahahaha)

I waited,

I hoped,

I dreamed

Madfinger delivered :-)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
as mentioned in play store

we are the only ones getting it with ragdoll and water simulation, gotta love quad assisted graphics ;)
[HTC One X] boshot:
yeah..and I play the quad assisted graphic with only 2 of the 4 cores absolutely smooth :)

Send via Tapatalk HD
[HTC One X] Feregorn:
It's a 100mb because it doesn't have the same amount of content as Gameloft's Asphalt7 or Backstab have...I'm not bashing on Madfinger's yet again excellent deliverance, I just pointed out a small fact....

@HAMDIR: Mate do you think its possible to modify in a similar way for better graphics other games from Gameloft, like Amazing Spiderman, NOVA 3, etc? Because I checked the folder of Amazing Spiderman and it has various config files.for different devices. If you don't have the time to modify every game, can you at least provide some guidance on how to modify them ourselves? I haven't got the hang of it, yet...:rolleyes:
[HTC One X] razorracer83:
Thanks for the info! Finally another game to test out the muscle of my tablet's Tegra 3. And at a good price, too. Now I just hope Gameloft makes the android release of Asphalt 7 Heat work for the TF300, and all will be good.
[HTC One X] shankly1985:
Dead Trigger Runs superb here, what a great game :)
[HTC One X] iMack007:
Tweaking is already on the way

Buddy, if you read/look back just a few pages at the topic of Asphalt 7 from Gameloft, you will see that Hamdir & the other members were doing just that. Even an experimental config file was supplied via direct download, for anyone to try Gamelofts latest and greatest racer with all effects turned on etc (but with a performance hit).

Anyway read back a little.
[HTC One X] speedofheat:
I bought Dead Trigger for my iPad 2 and it looks and runs fantastically well with water effects and ragdoll physics. Why are all those supposed "Tegra 3" effects possible on the dual core iPad 2 but not on phones like the SGS 3?

BTW, I own a HOX so it's not like I'm complaining.
[HTC One X] kokusho:
What's good to see is the end of the fragmentation from madfinger.

As much as I love my THD games I don't think its a good thing to release SoC specific paid apps. What if I ends up buying a SGS3 with my HoX ? or a S4 tablet, or anything non tegra really. I'll have to rebuy my games ? That's non sense and I'm glad Madfinger is putting a stop to it.

One game, one sell

Multiple packages for multiples device (with special effect for Tegra3 ones if Nvidia wants its special treatment)

That's how thing should be.
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Yea I was kinda annoyed I had to buy Shadowgun again for my S3 after having the THD version on the One X

And Dead Trigger stills looks impressive on the S III, I get the in-face water effects like I know the One X gets on riptide
[HTC One X] kokusho:
Btw Puddle THD is a great game and runs very well, there a lot of creativity in the gameplay, a lots of different fluids with various properties and georgous levels.

You should try it.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
iPad2 has dual core GPU (4x2) very powerful and runs a low res display

the real question is how it runs on the iPad3 ;)

as for the SGS3 Nvidia provides easy to use libraries for tegra, ie: rag doll effects/particles/physics/water simulation effects are easy to integrate and can use the all the quads

as for it running great @ only 2 cores, sorry my friend i doubt you tested it well, shadowgun THD runs well with 2cores but let the action gets heavy with explosions, objects and ragdoll flying and the frame rate will dip

check my gameplay videos of Shadowgun THD and see how it runs with all the action @ butter smooth frame rate

the quads assist the frame rate, they dont create the graphics, you can also run glowball at 2 cores but the frame rate will dip too

im pretty sure the SGS3 can do even better with its brute force GPU and quads, provided they get similar optimization efforts and software support as NV does for its THD intiative

don't forget part of all this physics THD t3 stuff is part of the Nvidia PhysX sdk

oh and regarding SGS2/SGS3 and gameloft games, believe me its not even optimizations, simply put GL is relying on the brute abilities of the Mali GPU and nothing less

looking at the XML they disabled a lot of stuff on the SGS3 versus the iPad2, like the second render target (bloom), they reduced the car quality on the track and garage and increased the far distance clipping

so yea GL is not optimizing anything, all they do is start with the PowerVR iPad version and disable things until the game run acceptable on the targeted android device

sorry but this is non sense, no specific libraries of improved code that take better advantage of the unique abilities of each GPU and most definitely almost insignificant use of dual and quad CPUs

in other words they are still coding in a very similar way to the days of the XBOX1 where GPU is doing 90% of the work
[HTC One X] Ape187:
Thanks for that. Works like a charm. Using the config with all effects minus the hires track textures.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yup this is the best one so far

im trying something new

ill try to enable the high detail track and increase the track clipping

sadly there is one thing that would run it a lot better like ripetide

if GL included a way to run the game at slight lower resolution then 720p! that would run great and is the best solution for high density devices like the HOX
