[Android] Optimization

Post » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:56 am

Here i want you to suggest how to achieve best performance on Android devices. I have one quad-core+1GB RAM, Android 4.4.2 KitKat phone and tablet with the same specifications. I experienced lags when i got more rooms and dwellers so here are few things that i figured out so far:


- In Settings -> Applications -> Running i checked which apps consumes most of RAM even when i almost never use them and i've uninstalled/disabled them.


- Non-living wallpaper.


- Basic launcher. (i read somewhere that some launchers can save more RAM but i do not know which ones)


- Whenever i want to play, i switch airplane mode on.


- Turn music and sound off ingame. (i watch tv when playing so it is ok for me)



Yesterday i found something about virtual ram which is like swap file in Windows but it requires minimum of class 6 memory card and ROOT and i do not know if it will be worth it and how dangerous it could be to my device. Anyway, with the settings above, the game runs smooth on phone and just little laggy on tablet.


Have you any other suggestions?

Quite minimal things I can do to make this game run better, it's mostly up to devs and their optimizations. I have done everything mentioned above + clear recently used apps list and RAM before playing, but still my playing experience varies alot. Sometimes game is choppy from the beginning and crashes within few minutes, sometimes not. Doesn't seem to have any logic. Also weird how game may run well at first but gradually slows down, why? I keep same number of rooms and dwellers etc. but still game gets slower and slower the longer I play. Where does it lose it's framerates?

I also reload the game shortly after graphic glitches appear. (Health bars that do not fade away, pregnant women that can not be moved etc.) My game never crashed.
