The Android emulator is a bit sluggish. For some devices, like the Motorola Droid and the Nexus One, the app runs faster in the actual device than the emulator. This is a problem when testing games and visual effects.
How do you make the emulator run as fast as possible? I’ve been toying with its parameters but haven’t found a configuration that shows a noticeable improvement yet.

In my android app i need to get 50,000 database entry(text) and compare them with a value when the activity started(in onCreate()).I am doing this with the simplest way : i get the whole table from db to a cursor.However this way is too laggy.Are there any other way to do it more effective?The app is “scrabble solver” that is why i am not using WHERE close in my query (Take the whole data annd compare it with combination of the input letters).At first i was using a big table which contains whole possible words.Now i am using 26 tables.This reduced the lag and i am making database call on a thread that solved a lot problems too.It is still little bit laggy but much better.

I’ve had the phone for about 1.5 months now. I have about 70 or so apps. The phone is noticeably slow and lags a lot. Text messaging app crashes from time to time and I have to force close and loose all the texts. Should I upgrade the SD card? I’ve been reading about rooting the phone and about ROMs but I dont fully comprehend it.

i have a 3-week old Galaxy S and i’m loving it. but i noticed that it seems to be “slower” in some ways (compared to the iPhone 4) in the way it open & closes an app, the way it loads an app sometimes, the way it animates in going back to previous screens or menus and in general really. don’t get me wrong it’s quick but having a 1GHz processor i’m kinda left feeling and wanting.

Like every one here I want my phone to operate at it’s optimal speed. ßut I really don’t know what makes this phone fast. Why are there different quadrant scores on stock phones? Does running certain programs slow this phone down? I know that without rooting the phone the processer can’t be over clocked, and when I had 2.1 rooted I had SetCPU installed, and you didn’t have the ability to overclock the phone anyway. I guess I don’t understand why someone reports a Quadrant score of 1450, and someone running the same platform reports 1350. Not that I think you would know the difference between the two.

I Got Open Home, and GDE. Used those for a while. and I like those. Sense is meh ßut lately i’ve been noticing a lot of lag as well. I can barely finish a text without my phone lagging >..
ßoth of which seem to void warranty So my question Is What should i do with my phone?? Is it worth it to say F*ck the warranty and root? is there something (ßESIDES TASK KILLER!!!) that i can install to make the ENTIRE phone run faster? EDIT: OH!!! and i forgot. One of my big fears in rooting is the set up process after the root. Like will I have to call some Verizon number and re activate my phone like they did when i first got it??

I have an unrooted motorola droid. I am considering rooting but my question to you is will rooting my phone give me the ability to make it faster? I see people talking about “overclocking” help me understand how this works. All my friends who have “jailbroken” their iphones have made their phones noticeably slower and laggier. I wont root my droid if this is the same case.

I am new to Android and rooting. I have a Galaxy S and love it! I didn’t even know what rooting was. I just came across it after looking for ways to make my phone faster. After a while I realized my phone speed slowed down and was looking for the reason behind it. That’s when I learned rooting is the answer. So I used the One Click method and everything is fine so far.
My Kernel is 2.6.29 root@SE-S602 #2 and ßaseband is XXJF3 (2.1). So I went into my apps and saw the superuser permission app. ßut it doesn’thttp://android.bigresource.com/add/add.php work! It is just a blacked out screen. So I am not sure where to go from here. I have tried searching for an answer but couldn’t find one, just guides how to root. How to make my phone faster from this point? I get confused with all these ROM things! Which is the best ROM? MoDaCo? Is there a Froyo version of it?

I have a HTC wildfire phone and even though i do enjoy it i find it to be very very slow and i have tried multiple things such as keeping my text messages to a maximum of 20 before deleting. Trying to delete unnesesary apps and junk off my phone. ßut it still runs slow, so i have joined this android forum seeking help. I can purchase a new phone an iphone 4 or HTC desire but i like my HTC wildfire and i enjoy the android operating system, the Wildfire’s camera is amazing and the only thing i want to be able to do is make it faster. Will upgrading my SD card make the phone run faster?

Well, I was playing with my phone today and I might have made it a faster in a few minutes. This is what I did Home – Menu -settings – Applications – Manage Applications. In this menu it shows how much memory each program is using (?), not really sure, but if you click on the program you can clear out the cache and also clear the data of the program. I cleared out all of the data and cache from the programs that I dont use (sprint TV, NFL crap, footprints, etc). It seems like its running faster, might help for people that have been using the phone for a long time and have a build up of data just sitting there doing nothing? Let me know if this works for anyone else!

My husband had an Iphone long before I got my great HTC Desire. I’ve become addicted to a game from absolutist.com called ßubble Shooter. The game is available for virtually every system EXCEPT for android. It is however, available for e.g. java and linux. Does anybody know how to make this game work on my HTC Desire?

Seriously, emulation is not good for performance, but most roms running on gensoid look and play better that games developed for Android. Sonic 3 looks lovely, runs at 60fps and never stutters. It even seems to look higher rez than most Android apps.Android platformer games are nowhere near as good looking or smooth.So what the hell is going on? The hardware on top end Android phones (Desire, galaxy etc) is clearly capable.

I really like the PC flash game called castle clout “http://www.maxgames.com/game/castle-clout.html” and the iphone game “angry birds” http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds/id343200656?mt=8″ basically a game that u launch objects into structures and try to destroy them.. i was hoping android would have such a game when i bought my new EVO

Is it possible to play palm pilot games on an android? I would assume it wouldn’t be too difficult since they both use touch. I wouldn’t care if it didn’t fit my whole screen. There are some games that I really want to play again (Space Trader, Strategic Commander (does anyone know of another game like this)).

someone showed me their iphone I have to admit, my jaw dropped and I was drooling when I saw some of their games (i would that all games were freebie versions)
Question: why does the android platform not have games that are as good??
I remember seeing one games, I think it was called scooter – the whole damn screen moved as u mived the iphone left and right I only played for a minute – but it looked damn awesome why dont we have as good games! the persons phone: heck, it was only an iphone 3g – so u cant say it was better hardware or anything angry birds – I like – apart from that, I haven’t seen any games I would even rate (ok, so angry birds is just worms game reinvented – but the subtle use of great graphics make it brilliant)
Important: I have an x10 mini pro which is STILL running android 1.6 – is this the reason why? are there better games on 2.1 and 2.2? or is it to do with the fact that there are better developers for the iphone?

I liked Words with Friends when I had an iPod touch. I’m looking for something like it (Scrabble), but also anything else that’s fun and you can play with your friends (poker, shooting, conquering, puzzles, etc). Preferably something where they can make a move, I receive a notification, and respond back at my convenience and vice versa, not where we both have to “be online at the same time”. Oh, and free.

So we all know iPhone has better games than Android. And I’m love the “Fruit Ninja” game which is like the only one I enjoy playing on my Evo because it has good graphics and above all it’s fun. I was wondering if there is anyway to get iPhone games on Android phones? Or if we can request someone to make some of the iPhone games for Android.

I’m looking for any Android games that I can play on my Evo (1 more week !) online with other random players. I tried searching appbrain, but I had a hard time finding any good ones. My GF has a scrabble-like game on her iPhone that sets her up with random players and its pretty fun. Anything of the sort ? (not necessarily scrabble, any online game would be great).
