[GLtools]Play Games At MUCH better framerates(eg- GTA3 with steps) - Samsung Galaxy Star

Gltools (which is similar to chainfire 3d but works on jellybean)
made by @n0n3m4
Latest Edit:19/03/2014
it helps in lowering graphics and emulating other gpus so that a game which is tegra exclusive works on all phones
is a must have app on our phone for gaming
i tried lowering graphics using gtools3 on gta and the game is working too good
touch is completely responsive ingame (ie no lags when changing the view) and so on
Go to this thread for gameplay videos on our phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51197303
first download free version(limited features) from google play
or the xda version(all features unlocked) provided by the dev frm this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615514
(Im using gta 3 as an eg to show how this works)
install gltools
(Note: Enable backup option in the app in case something goes wrong. a cwm flashable zip which can uninstall gltools will be formed)
open app. then give root access and install tex plugin(and not none otherwise this app wont work)
reboot the phone
open app. a list of apps installed will come up
select ur app(gta 3 for me)
check on enable custom setting
tick forcce 16 bit rendering
tick optimize glsl shaders
set enable texture decomp. to all
set enable texture recomp. to none
set downscale textures to 0.5 and check if it still lags make 0.25x(anything below that will make text unreadable)
i also faked gpu info though it may not be needed (i did adreno 320)
in gta 3 display setting i minimised the resolution and draw distance disabled frame limiter
now the game is very smooth (textures are blurred and graphics are low)
thats all
please share ur own config for any game u manage to make smooth

Enable custom settings
Force 16 bit rendering
Drop visual quality to 0.5x
Thats all.....
Rest for ram and overall performance of the phone:
-Dont use task killers...
-Use Greenify for hibernating apps that are always open. Eg- FB , whatsapp , BBM
-(Optional)Use tweaks and mods. I recommend Pure graphics HD from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627406
Thats all

Ok , sir
Is it safe to install pureperformance if I have cwm 5xxxx installed?
The thread is for cwm 6.xxx. ?

I wud recommend pure hd over pure performance
but it shud work
if it doesnt there is a uninstaller package with it just flash that

Edited the first post. 19/03/2014
Found a better config. that has increased a lot of fps ingame
gladiator has minimal lag now and the graphics have become less pixelated

the older gamelft games used to store data at gameloft/games
which isnt recognized by jellybean so ull always have the problem of no data
but u shud try before we make conclusions
yes its closer to cf3d it can lower grfx and emulate other gpus

Newer versions of gltools available at play and the thread(xda version)
1.07
1.08

16 bit rendering wud be enough
If lag is bad the visual quality to 0.5x(will not decr the main game graphics but the grfx in menu)
For better grfx (but slower game) set decompression to always and recompression to none and drop visual to 0.5x
dont fake gpu keep default

Its more than likely that the game actually doesn't work. I had spiderman total mayhem installed on my phone it showed the opening video and would just then close down

Tried to run on G-ROMf1. I waited for about 10 minutes while game was loaded. Then I heard sound with VERY heavy lags(1 fps in 3 seconds) Then optimizes to 10 fps/s but still heavy lags.
Will try to optimize it and give my view
Overclocking to the max??
Yeah Samsung video drivers may work as it has all the graphic extensions implemented..but will be laggy coz of less optimized coding done..as tom said..
cm7 and cm9 users have to wait for fully working of openfimg..it may be our last chance to check our gpu's performance... and I also think our ram is also not sufficient to run temple run..
played this game for a while start up is lagy after when game start still so lagy with cf3d then delete cant play a which lag so much.
Tried the free version barely worked and it isn't even that fun on my S3 imho not worth it.

Anyone got it to work on defy? I got it to work on cm7 but even at 1.2 ghz, the game lags quite a bit. Its playable but not that fun. Can anyone give me ideas to make it a tad smoother?

Chain3D won't help. The game lags, end of story. Adding additionnal processes on top of the game itself won't help at all. If you see an improvement, then it's a placebo effect (source: Chainfire himself)

You need to use the root/offline method or use the apk by muzhiwan. Then you need to change date to 2010 to make it work sounds weird but it does! Same goes for spiderman, although with spideeman you can instead deny "read phone state" permission to make it run

Best rom for gaming.

Looking for the best rom for gaming.
Been playing nova 3, 69p at the moment.
And real racing 2.
Both games lag at times.
Can anyone recommend a rom and kernel combo which they find works very well, Im looking for the best.
I'm currently on foxhound 1.4.4, using siyah kernel, the rom itself is the best I've used, however when gaming on the said two games I get lag.
Any help, pointers or suggestions is appreciated.
Cheers.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Really? What games have you played on that rom? Any of the two that i mentioned?
thanks for replying.
It doesn't really matter, most tw roms are the same anyway except for a few cosmetic changes.
What you need is to overclock your gpu when playing graphics intensive games, siyah will let you oc the gpu up to 700mhz and still be stable (it goes up to 800 but it's not stable)

If you NEED to overclock one of the most powerful GPU's for mobile devices around, then there is definitively something wrong with your game...
well dead trigger runs really well, even with tegra 3 graphics switched on, now i know that real racing isn't optimized very well and i've only just played nova 3 this once, but surely it should work well on the S3, and fyi, theres nothing wrong with my device m8, i've tried this on about 4 different s3's and all yield the same results.
The games are all paid for versions too.
Maybe i'm not ocing the GPU, i hadn't touched it but will check it out.
Cheers.
What are you using to OC your gpu?
thanks.

I agree completely, mine is at 440mhz and I have no problem with any games I play (gtaIII asphalt mini motors etc) but I do know that some games are very badly optimised and need an extra bit of grunt to get them to run smoothly.

stock rom is good enough for all the hd games. Nova 3 single player and multiplayer, and real racing 2 run perfect.
Check if you have something intensive running in the background

i dont think roms have anything to do with playing games! some apps may FC in some roms though, generally a fast rom will be ideal :good:

Nothing i can put my finger on m8, it's a clean install of foxhound and it appears to be fine running the rom, i'm using apex if you think that matters.

I have a fast rom (foxhound) nothing much installed, killed all 3rd party apps with autostarts.
Using Siyah and although the games run at an acceptable frame rate, i think there is some lag still present.

[Q]Rail Rush is not running smoothly.

Recently I've downloaded a game from google play Rail Rush but its lagging and showing pixels so i'm unable to play it.so please give some solution to run it smoothly without any lag.

Your signature says "GT-S5302" so I assume that is the what you are trying to play on which is a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Duos as best I can tell. That phone has a single core 832Mhz, it is a budget, low performance phone. Unless the game has a way to turn down the graphics settings a lot I don't think you are going to get good performance out of it.
i got the same problem but my phone is prestigio 5430 and other games higher graphic work without lag just rail ruch is with high lag.

Now open chainfire and use reduce texture quality and qualcoom plugin. So IT works on my device.
But if IT doesnt work use also reduce texture Size
