hi gys. well ter doesnt seem much i ca do now. i enabled hi es map wich makes buidings, roads and all litle detail come to lfe. it really looks amazing. but it seems gameloft faled miserably as this setti is not enabled on any device at al. and the reason for tha is the games is so lagy. i played fo about anhour last nigt like this and while i can say i enjoyed it. the lag really took the fun out of the game.i tred with just leaving hi-res map enabled and turning off every graphic option to increase performace. but faile. the only way you could even reotly run this setting s i you have the 650gpu kernl. m device can only handle 520. bteven so i am not going to change kenelto a more battery draining one just so i can run a game that we should be able to run on stock kernel.

i am ashamed of gameloft, as they advertise this game with all of these lovely settings enabled and then sell us it like this.

maybe this is why its only 69p as the game is realy only worth 69p.

nevertheless i will upload a xml so you guysan hae a go with this hi res map enabled.

ut be warned, once i trid it with this setting enabledand ralised it was to laggy to play and had to gobackto the old xml, i nolonger wantd to play the game anymore. link will be availablein about 20 minutes or less.

i am apauled at gameloft and there crappy way of implementing dvices into there games. is it really to much to optimize for tegra? other developers seem to do it just fine in a matter of 3 weeks. i have a feeling we will never see asphalt the way its supposed to be on android devices.

ios is much easier as there arnt many devices to optimse for. gamelof are pure lazy and tere is o doubt about it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
OP updated. this is not stable. its just to show what the game should even remotely look like. had to turn some graphic effects off, so really it should look better than this.

the game is verry laggy. so i have also kept the other link to the previous file up to incase you want to revert back :0
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
a real bummer bro that you can't play it with the hi res map. when the clemsyn kernel first came out i couldn't run it either and it boot looped me. i was very disappointed for sure. i then tried again with the 8/17 update and wham bam it works. did you try the pink fix kernel???

UPDATED 8/17/2012

Overclocked to 1.8ghz with GPU at 650..WARNING THIS IS GOING TO GET HOT!!!

https://rapidshare.com/files/1034477...n1.8GPU650.zip

Pink fix

https://rapidshare.com/files/2238414...650Pinkfix.zip <<<<<<<<<<<<<< this one right here<<<<<

oddly that pinkfix kernel is more stable than motleys for some reason i don't understand. i can bench at 1.8 with no issues.

give it a yank you never know bro. fyi for others reading this always keep a few kernels in your download folder just in case you do the boot loop shuffle.

Dont use render target aa. It really messes the game up, tried it already. Yes i have tried the other one two. I disabled so e effects so we can use hi res map.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Thank you. I have just uninstalled and re installed s i can start fresh with a clean xml.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Someone mentioned i hink about gamloft only utilizing one core. This makes sense. If the medium device catagiry is for single core devices, and our device has been stupidly put in that catagory then there will be lag. I need to some how put our devic in high catagory by default without modifying th xml.

Maybe its something o do with the apk. I will see hat i can o and hank to who ever brought his to light.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Can anyone point me to wher i can download apktool? Or something to decompile? I looked in th apk using zip viewer and i have found a xml called gi_settings n this ml there is listed a number of devices, maybe i could add our device in there and oick the right textures. And then maybe that will put our device in high category in the deviceconfig.xml by default. Its a long shot but we need to get this game to recognise our device as being quad core and not single core.

What he heck have gameloft done????

Shoot me the apk I'll decompile the. Zip it... and send it to you.... make your changes zip it... and recompile. :D

Can you pm me youre email adress? Ill send you apk by email. In the apk i need you to go to res/raw/data.txt and change samsung to google and model to nexus 7. I dont even know if this will work as i have never modified an pk before. But maybe it will prooerly revognise the device as it will then be listed. Maybe you could have a better look in the apk and see if there is anything worth changing for our benefit?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Ok so i got the modified apk back from uber (thanks mate) i uninstalled asphalt so the data could be downloaded fresh to see how the game reacts to the new apk. Downloading data now. Will repirt back.

I can play the game smooth. But when hi res mp is enabled it goes very laggy. And benchmarks dont batter. We have a 12 core gpu and should be able to run this gam with max graphics on stock kernel. Ube sen me the modified apk wich i tried but there was no differance. So i am oint to modify he deviceconfig.xml but on ly change one thing. Whre it says galaxy s3 class devices, i am going to change ut to nexus 7 class devices. But at the moment i cant get the time o do it as i am very busy. The main problem is is that the game itself doesnt recognize our device as a high end quad core. Instead it sees it as a medium class single core.

So the end result i want is to manualy impalement our device into the game so it recognises our device as a high end one. Wich in term will enable ll graphics and utilize the four cores and not one.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
Well I hope you come up with a solution that works for you. With the 650gpu at 1.8 a7 plays fine with hi res / true. I even played online and had no issues with lag. All the best bro.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Yer i tried with the 650 and it seemed ok with all graphics on.

But i dont want to be using a 650gpu and plus if i cn get it o recognise our device he way it should then anyone will be able to run with full fx

On pretty much any kernel.

Glad to see its working nice for you. The game really does look gret with all fx turned on and gameloft done a good job with the game. But not such a good job at device implementation.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
No what i am saying is, if you want to run the game at max graphics and have the smoothest experiance you can then use 650gpu and ten you dont ed to verclock to 1.8, you can stay @1.3

My device is fine. I just ound i had a better exoeriance with performance setting.

Just an fyi, i have not given up on this but i am in the process of moving house, so i am struggling to find time. My goal is to make the game recognise our device so we dont have to change the deviceconfig.xml. its all good turning the graphics on but whats the point if the game only sees the device as single core or dual core. I wonder if i has anything to do with the companion core as that is a low speed core. Maybe the game is only seeing that chip. But i dont know, it makes sense when i think about it though. Unless someone can correct me?

Galaxy s3 is quadcore and that is classed as high device in the game. Does the galaxy s3 have a companion core also?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] BESS667:
Now there's no need for this, with the last version of Asphalt 7 (1.0.5) the graphics are just like in Ipad and now it appears that uses the quad core, its veery smooth now :victory:

Viewing the devicecongif file it appears like now its optimized to use all 4 cores and the 5 core for the GPU, so thats why it runs so good now with this update.

Here some caps now, without editing any file, just stock game configuration.

Nm, just got down a ways in the posts and saw someone already put this up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonillamktg:
I have been researching for the past couple of months and now something I just saw completely threw a wrench in my plans!

My wife and I have been on Sprint the past couple of years, both with OG Evo's. I decided to save up and buy our next phones outright and go with an MVNO plan. I narrowed that down to Straight Talk based on price and reviews and had decided to get a GNEX for $350 a pop since it was by far the cheapest badass phone on the market by a long shot. I've done a lot of lurking in the XDA GNEX forum to get ready for this switch, until...

Today, I saw that Wal-mart has an in-store promo for the AT&T SIII for $148, which has a $200 early termination fee. If I buy the phones and immediately cancel and pay the ETF, I'm paying exactly the same as I would the GNEX.

My question is, what holes can you poke in my reasoning or what haven't I thought of? The only concern I have now is whether AT&T will give me flak about any phone issues I have while under warranty that they may not want to deal with since I wouldn't be a current customer, although I'm thinking I might be able to run those through Wal-mart.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polish_pat:
I think the only hole in youre reasoning is the fact that you think you could get your hands on a GS3 for 350$. Thats simply impossible. The GS2 is still 329$ and the GS3 is 599$. The early termination is is probably a fees you'd pay for breaking the contract, but you'll still have to pay off the balance of the phone, so in fact the phone would have ended up costing you 799$

My wife and I both had a GNexus, she just upgraded to the S3 on T-Mobile. You really can't go wrong with the GNex and development is good and updates first from Google.

If you wait another month or to, 2nd hand s3 might be available for 375 - 400.

As for myself, I'm waiting for the next GNexus.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] itechscs:
My wife has gnex and I have the s3 and imo the only thing the gnex has on the s3 is the official jb software which isn't going to last for long. I say go for the s3 you won't regret it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonillamktg:
In reading the AT&T contract directly, it appears that the ETF is actually $325 now. It does say that if you cancel w/in 30 days of starting the contract, you have to return the phone or pay the balance of the retail price of the phone, but it takes that stipulation off after 30 days. I'll have to confirm that with them directly, but it seems like they won't be able to go after me for that extra amount.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LlF:
both of them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonillamktg:
I definitely don't think I'd be unhappy with the GNEX or that it'd be a bad decision to go with it, I just think that, if I can get an SIII for at least close to the GNEX price, I'd prefer the SIII.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cheeze[iT]:
Agreed. The s3 isn't double the price of a gnex but now since a bnib s3 is like $400 (clist) vs $300 gnex I'd definately get the s3 for a little more.... or you can upgrade to the next iphone sell it and use the money to get the phone you want with probably left over cash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Yaken:
The etf for smartphones on ATT is 350. And an additional 200 to walmart. Your plan won't work.

The carriers do this because if you did what you planned on doing the carrier would lose money.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mathewrice:
Thoughts from a GS3 Owner

Indeed,

But to compare phones by spec, the GNEX is not on par with the GS3.

The only thing they have in relative commonality is their screens.

As well, the GNEX is on schedule to be refreshed soon (so rumor has it).

Since you've waited this long, you might as well wait a little longer and get whatever else might be released in Q4 of 2012.

But this is all mostly my opinion.

On the flip side, the GSM GNEX by far has the most developer support/love.

Hi,

Is there some sort of USB hub for OTG?

I've ordered an adapter (micro usb to HDMI) to connect my note to the TV..

But i also wanted to connect my wireless keyboard & mouse.

Tried it with a hub but doesnt work..

Some ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kangal:
Can't have OTG and MHL work in the same time, choose one or the other.

You could go with DLNA and a wired OTG solution, you would fail.

Your only real option would be be MHL and using Bluetooth to connect keyboard/mouse/peripherals.

There's no dock. You can make your own though, just search the forum.

This thread can be closed down now.

judging on the screenshot you have dude, I'd say you have one massive wakelocks on your phone. It seemed that your data connection is always on. Wifi, 3G and etc.

My rule of law (I'm not sure if this will apply to you, but you can give it a try if you like), is... Use only data connection (Wifi/3G/BT) on a need to basis. What that means is, you can turn it off all your data connections and turn it ON ONLY when you need to. Your phone's always awake all the time. That explains the wakelocks your phone is getting, plus coupled the fact that there are some background apps syncing continuously. That's one of the causes on your drains.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
well, Is Google syncing really that important to you? You have to bear in mind what is really needed and what is just wanting it.

If Google Sync is not that much important, then you can turn that off. With regards to Wifi, you can also change that to sleep mode (settings> wifi settings/advanced/wifi sleep policy)

Wifi is a big battery drainer in every aspects as well and like I've said before.. if you don't necessarily need to connect to the internet.. then turn your WIFI off and 3G mobile data OFF. Just enable it when you like to use it and turn it off after your done using it.
