Playing HD Games

TO INCREASE RAM SIZE AND PERFORMANCE

Download And Install Speed Boost the app on your phone.

On your home screen add the speed boost widget... it’s like a button and is very handy.

A click of this button frees Ur memory Ur phone actually becomes amazingly responsive with low lags

[This step may degrade ur memory card life...above two steps will sufficiently free your ram but this technique will give u that extra mb of ram apart from your phone ram using swapping technique]

Download an app called "RAM Expander Pro" from market and install

Open the app and grant the app permission [better to select remember this decision] for then if you have a 4 GB memory card...

Tick "swap active".

Enter the size in the box as 600 mb...make sure u have 1 GB of free space on your memory card all the time.

Now it will take some time and you must have patience and wait...do not click anything because it is creating a swap file on your memory card.

Once done select "autorun"and "Hyper".

Close the app...

NOW YOUR MEMORY CARD WILL BE USED AS 600 mb EXTRA RAM WEN U NEED IT DURING PLAYING HD GAMES WHAT I WILL TELL HOW TO IN NEXT SEGMENT.

Note: 600 mb swap is taken as example you can take any size needed

HD GAMING ON A87

Assuming u followed the previous segment till step 3...i.e. swapping process....now we proceed to turn the ninja to a gaming device...YES!! All HD gaming u need...

Step 1:

Download and install ChainFire 3D Pro ....you will get the pro app after the Google search just copy the .apk from computer to sd card and then install on your phone.

Step 2:

There are 3 zip files inside the Drivers.zip file...copy the 3 zip files to your root folder of SD card...

Step 3:

Open Chain fire 3d and in that select "CF3D driver" and select install driver or search driver....it will automatically search and install drivers

Step 4:

To play a HD game. (Ex: asphalt 6) install the game and open chain fire 3d.

Go to "per-app openGL settings"

Scroll the list and find the game (ex: asphalt6) and select it

U will get a menu...with default settings ticked....untick it and
