Where is the shaders option?

In my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2), I had Theo Town. But I can't play it because ITS VEEERRYY laggy. I'm 100% sure its because the shader is in Fancy, which kills my tablet, but the option to change it is missing. I had Debug mode enabled, Experimental feutures on, Energy Saving mode at off, and more. Any help?
I can't wait to play Theo Town in my tablet!

It should be in the Graphic option

If the setting is not listed in graphics (which would be strange) it might help to reset all settings.

Yeah, its not listed. Reinstalling didn't help at all. It became worse :(

Wow, I can't. It just said "Internal Server Error"
But here is some clues for you:

This is exactly the graphics option show:

Screen Orientation: Landscape Portrait Auto
Resolution: Really Low Low. Medium. Big
Graphics: Classic Gray. Colorful. Old

As you can see, the shader option is missing.

To me it looks as if no shaders are active. May you have some more details about your tablet? Did it ever run smoothly there?

Shader options are probably missing due to lack of hardware support.

Every game run smoothly there (except Theo Town, because of that Fancy thing)
And hardware support.. What ya mean? I allow Theo Town to have external accessible.

We use a large 4096x4096 texture for all the graphics. Older devices may not support this size so that we have to use a much slower fallback solution. We don't allow any fancy shaders in that case.

So, how can I fix this problem? I don't really know the difference of Fancy to non Fancy. (Except smooth, its obvious)

It means that there is no real solution other than reducing the resolution :roll:

I dunno yet. But its brand new unlike my Samsung Tab 2. Tab 2 was just recovered in recovery mode.
And the phone is still unknown..

Maybe Short-term memory loss?
