slow model batch rendering in libGDX

Problem solved! I achieved 60 FPS on a ver low-end mobile device. The game runs smootly. I found out how to merge multiple Meshes into one mesh so that VBO mechanizms can be used. There was a bug in libGDX which caused the Mesh-copying method unusable with multiple meshes. After the changes, the map is divided in small sectors. Each sector consists of meshes with the same z-axis value as can be seen on the following image:

The VBO mechanisms are very limitated, so not many vertices can be drawn at one-time that is why the sectors have to be rather small. New renderer had to be written to handle the rendering properly. And the parts of the renderer are merging the meshes dynamically (without any seperate tool, like eg. blender).

public static Mesh mergeMeshes(AbstractList<Mesh> meshes, AbstractList<Matrix4> transformations){    if(meshes.size() == 0) return null;    int vertexArrayTotalSize = 0;    int indexArrayTotalSize = 0;    VertexAttributes va = meshes.get(0).getVertexAttributes();    int vaA[] = new int [va.size()];    for(int i=0; i<va.size(); i++)    {        vaA[i] = va.get(i).usage;    }    for(int i=0; i<meshes.size(); i++)    {        Mesh mesh = meshes.get(i);        if(mesh.getVertexAttributes().size() != va.size())         {            meshes.set(i, copyMesh(mesh, true, false, vaA));        }        vertexArrayTotalSize += mesh.getNumVertices() * mesh.getVertexSize() / 4;        indexArrayTotalSize += mesh.getNumIndices();    }    final float vertices[] = new float[vertexArrayTotalSize];    final short indices[] = new short[indexArrayTotalSize];    int indexOffset = 0;    int vertexOffset = 0;    int vertexSizeOffset = 0;    int vertexSize = 0;    for(int i=0; i<meshes.size(); i++)    {        Mesh mesh = meshes.get(i);        int numIndices = mesh.getNumIndices();        int numVertices = mesh.getNumVertices();        vertexSize = mesh.getVertexSize() / 4;        int baseSize = numVertices * vertexSize;        VertexAttribute posAttr = mesh.getVertexAttribute(Usage.Position);        int offset = posAttr.offset / 4;        int numComponents = posAttr.numComponents;        { //uzupelnianie tablicy indeksow            mesh.getIndices(indices, indexOffset);            for(int c = indexOffset; c < (indexOffset + numIndices); c++)            {                indices[c] += vertexOffset;            }            indexOffset += numIndices;        }        mesh.getVertices(0, baseSize, vertices, vertexSizeOffset);        Mesh.transform(transformations.get(i), vertices, vertexSize, offset, numComponents, vertexOffset, numVertices);        vertexOffset += numVertices;        vertexSizeOffset += baseSize;    }    Mesh result = new Mesh(true, vertexOffset, indices.length, meshes.get(0).getVertexAttributes());    result.setVertices(vertices);    result.setIndices(indices);    return result;}     public static Mesh copyMesh(Mesh meshToCopy, boolean isStatic, boolean removeDuplicates, final int[] usage) {    // TODO move this to a copy constructor?

This can be very useful for the people trying to write their own 3D games in libGDX. Without this mechanizm it is rather impossible to write anything more compilcated than a few models.
