How do you gain more PPSSPP speed on Android - Please Share
Let's share, how do you gain more speed/perfofrmance on PPSSPP on Android.
This is some possible way as I can see:

1) Overclocking
2) Increase Swap Size
3) Use Chainfire3D by reduce texture quality etc
4) ...

wellllllll

disable buffered rendering (got +10 to 15 fps with that disabled)
jit (got another 10 to 15 fps speed up)

games was already running at 20-25fps before these 2 change XD

overclocking give a little 2-5 fps (1.2ghz to 1.6ghz)

sound doesn't affect fps and I don't think chainfire will do anything Wink

increasing swap is not necessary! ppsspp isn't a big ram user IMHO

Actualy making sure that Swapfile is not being used would mean better speed. You want to make sure PPSSPP runs of your RAM not from a page. Chainfire3D is placebo for stuff like PPSSPP. Overclocking would help most of the games. Also my phone doesn't seem to mind at all resolution, native or 2x I get equal speed, not even 0.1VPS less for anyone wondering.

swap size is a part of the sd card used for ram (fake ram, and slow)

Not necesarily, zRam (new version of ramzswap) Compresses the actualy ram of the phone, works a lot better than ramswap and the performance descreasing is barely noticeable compared to ramswap, though, this depends on wether the developers working on your device have added this to the kernel or not.

Anyways, for me, the main things that will affect the app performance are

-CPU clock,from 1.2Ghz to 1.6 it's actually a big difference, it goes up some 10 or more fps depending on the game and settings.
-GPU clock, not all the phones support this, but overclocking the gpu (with the right voltages) does give some nice improvement.
-ROM, not actually the big thing, changing from stock sammy 4.1.2 (dual core@1Ghz) to stock SlimBeam (same, dualcore@1Ghz) gave me few fps more, it also depends on how much crappy apps you got on the background, or "bloatware" as they call it.
-RAM, no need to say it, more ram, better performance and multi-tasking, I don't personally like ramswap or zRam but it comes in handy when your device has 512MB of ram or less.
-I/O schedulers and CPU governors:
This is complicated overall if you don't understand how it works, I recomend to take a look at what each I/O scheduler and CPU governor so you know what you're dealing with (take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthre...=1631894), personally, what works better for me are ROW and SIO schedulers and as for the governors, Lionheart or SmartassV2 (if single core) and PegasusQ (if multicore, I lock it to dualcore though instead of quad, I personally thinkg that using quad is a waste of battery...)

Will update this post if I remember anything else..

-Samsung galaxy S3 International version - Android 4.4.2
-Dual Core locked CPU, Clocked at 1Ghz-1.8Ghz
-Mali 400MP4 GPU Clocked from 160Mhz to 533Mhz
-1GB ram, boo..
