hello friends,
in recent months I have worked with in sdl2 with freepascal on android compiled from (codetyphon) this way came to the conclusion that Native give me better results than java.
I compiled sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_mixer and sdl2_ttf all in one dll for Windows and separate (.so) for android.
the next step is to compile for Ubuntu .
on this pack i have one demo using sdl2 sd2_image and sdl2_ttf on my experia x8 have 55 fps
and 20 on BlueStacks.

(DOWLOAD)
(windows dll with demo) app.box.com/s/wcvfaw1huwpa011t9re8
(andoid bin demo) app.box.com/s/906nasyoewfk6x96dpq4

my game (sdl + glEs) (200 particles and tile map) on my device i have 45 fps

I ran your android version on a Tegra 2 phone and a Tegra 4 tablet. Attached are screenshots.
The Tegra 2 phone gives 59 FPS. It's surprising that the Tegra 4 machine, which I suppose to have a much better performance than Tegra 2, gives just 60-61 FPS.

BTW, did you try getting a GLScene sample running on Android?

The Android GPU is capped at 60 FPS to save battery. You will not get above this results without disabling vsync.

thanks mdalacu for the note. I'm new to android development. I quickly look up on the web and did this change in a terminal as root user on my phone (I installed a custom ROM, and there's already a terminal installed):

sys/module/dc/parameters/no_vsync
Change from 0 to 1.

FPS went up slightly from 59 to 61. Not sure if that change really did that or not.

The tablet is not mine so I do not want to mess with root access on it.

I'm interested about that too.
