I will be getting this phone. I love everything about it. Being a developer how about we talk about some things people might be interested in coming into the SGSII. What things would you like to see being developed on this device? I would like to have a general discussion about it!
This doesn't mean I personally would be doing everything suggested but might be nice for future devs to see what people are interested in!
I would love to see some Cyanogenmod love for this device ...
But also some Stable/ Fast Roms to chose from ... that would be good enough for me
I really appreciate what you Devs do ...
Biggest thing for me would be a good solid AOSP build with working 4G, other than that I'm good.
I want to see kernel development and see how fast this thing can be over clocked.

Possibly an aosp that keeps the HD camera. Otherwise it may just be left stock w a launcher haha. Thing looks nice!

lithid, I'd like to see the full capability of this phone unlocked by a well-written kernel, modem, etc. AOSP roms are a given.
I'd love to see Carrier IQ removed in ROMs... and I'd like to see a nice solid build of Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI, and anything else developers have in mind. I really appreciate their work, and love to see the creativity that they have
Aosp with hdmi support. Mostly for the improve bluetooth stack so we can get some quality emulator action mix in with some PS controller fun. Exynos + emulator = hopefully some smooth emulations. Mostly need this to rub in the faces of Iphone users.
Cm7 and i will be content for the life of the phone

MIUI **** cyanogen id rather use stock touchwiz
I would like to see MIUI on it, although I love TW4.
MIUI FTW! LOL That is no surprise for those of you who know me.
Id love to see Cyanogenmod 7.?? And I can't wait to see how fast the devs can push this Xynos 1.2Ghz....can anybody else say 1.6+....I pushed my epics 1Ghz processor to 1.5 with stable results...can we get a dev guestimate on potential speed?

More unique features like the recent 8 lock screen mods and more status/notification bar controls possibly the tablet notification from CM7...maybe wishful thinking...idk

I hope Miui,CM7, and anything great gets ported to this phone. Nice custom kernels would be great as well...something that overclocks well and is stable but from the looks of it, the phone flies out of the box.

miui looks too much like iphone yuck
cm7 ftw!!!
My expectations are it can handle my usage patterns with no lag
Evo is lagging
I just want options. The more the better.

Everything he said, plus better bluetooth stack for ps3 controller!!
oh and i want the phone to make me a sammich! Guess ill have to wait for the real Androids for the last bit....
I also would LOVE to see miui on this device!! It's been way too long since I've used it I can just imagine where it is now!
does anyone lag when playing games on the gnex? it is very choppy when playing 3d games like running fred or dungeon defenders.
im currently on stock, unrooted and am wondering if installing custom roms will improve the frame rates?
I have aokp m4 installed with Franco's latest r98 kernel and I have no lag in any game... and I play the same ones u listed plus shadow run modern combat 3 and back stab
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Modern combat 3 is very smooth, but the multitouch bug kills the gameplay
Can't speak for stock, I was only stock for 20 minutes. But I haven't experienced any lag in any games on the ROMs I've run. Games include: Shadow Gun, Flick Golf, and Asphalt 6 HD.

can u try running fred and dungeon defenders?
they are my favourite games but the lag is quite frequent on both games, especially dungeon defenders...
I tried Running Fred and it indeed shutters 2 or 3 times per seconds. What is strange it that it seems to do it for several frames.
I'd guess the game has a bad rendering pipeline.
Just tried Running Fred, no lag. CM9 currently with stock CM9 kernel, GSM phone.

thanks..i guess i have to root and install aokp + franco kernel. any ideas what is the best and easiest way to root the phone (im currently looking at the GNex Toolkit)?

If you're not familiar with fast boot and/or adb, that's the safest bet. I'd encourage you to at least review the fast boot method however.

I'm running cm9 with glados kernel, default settings. No lag for fred, and the only lag in dungeon defenders is when they spawn the new waves.

I play Dead Space on Android and it is as smooth as you could ever imagine. But there is occasionally a few lag and buggy, but it doesn't bother me much. Also, multitouch is a breeze on that game too. It's rooted, stock ROM
kind of sucks that you have to root and flash a rom in order to play certain games lag free
I'm rooted but on stock...i'll give the games a try and let you know from my end. It's a better comparison since I'm on stock too.
The other posters who have custom kernels and roms are obviously going to have different results.
I'm on stock too and no lag at all for Super Monkey Ball Sakura and The Sims FreePlay.

Aw, I thought he's asking about gaming in general on GNex.
It's probably a better idea to email the app developers than asking here.

Ya that's what I was thinking too....could just be they aren't optimized for ICS yet.

who knows if you have to; there's obviously a selection bias here in that most of us already have custom roms/kernels installed.
Awaiting your stock results.

Just tried out running fred...definitely not "very choppy" for me. I am getting slight stutters usually when one of those "checkpoint reach" pop ups come the framerate will stutter a bit and the sound will as well. Nothing seriously bad, I've run into certain parts of Shadowgun that will have similar behavoir.
Not 100% but doesn't make the game unplayable for me. I'd suggest check to see if you have any background processes that are slowing things down for you. Maybe a bad app somewhere is ruining your 3d gaming experience. Also, game might not be fully optimized for us yet so might be a good idea to get in touch with the developer and let him know.
I won't be able to check dungeon defenders second wave today because my internet and 3g coverage is spotty right now at my hotel. And the extra content will take forever to download.
Hope this post helps a bit.
Ok so after about a month of running unrooted stock I have just installed aokp + Franco kernel and this seems to have a positive impact on the gaming performance. Running Fred runs quite a lot smoother now. But I haven't tried dungeon defenders yet. Will probably post results again when I have the time, but still its enlightening to know and let the community know that the custom roms and kernels not only benefits in synthetic benchmarks like quadrant but also in real-world application performance.

Out of curiosity, which governor are you using? Settings -> ROM Control -> Performance
So I have had my gs3 I747 for a week now, I previously owned a galaxy s 2 I777. and I am finding that whenever I run a game like nova 3 or asphalt 7 or any other hi Rendering games I have really bad frame rate problems. I thought for sure that the adreno 225 whould at least run those games so I am switching to a I 9300. Has anyone else had these problems.

Not likely you're experiencing these problems on stock ROM.
Please give some more details.

Im on CM10...
The problems with games are
Asphalt 7 goes slow it isnt smooth it's runs faster on my old ipod touch 4g.. so fail
Real Racing 2 have problems on graphics cut-cars lag slow...
GTA III it's a bit slow just a little bit it stutters some times but it's very good
the only game that works perfect it's shadowgun 0 lag smooth perfect
Riptide also on maximum graphics it's just perfect too so I dont understand why gameloft games have those problems.

Ditto that. Shadowgun & Riptide are smooth as butter here too, on CM10, but Nova3 chugs.
I tried giving KToon's 2.1GHz overclocked kernel a try just for kicks, but no change.
Anyone still on Touchwiz have a problem with Nova3 (or other gameloft game) lag?
I think those games just need an update for better integration..

Not really, unless you are referring to the apps being updated to "play nice" with JB, in which case we probably shouldn't hold our collective breath. That will be a while.
Asphalt7 runs flawlessly on stock ROM but is hit-or-miss with other TW-based ROMs I've run, and is simply a stutering, hacked up mess on CM10-based ROMs I've tried.
I'm still trying to figure out what the deal is here myself.

All I know is nova 3 ran smooth as silk on my i9100, and choppy and crappy on my i747. Stock, TW, cm10, doesn't matter. Runs like absolute poo when the action gets busy.

And the flipside to that coin is that some games ran like crap on ICS Touchwhiz (Restaurant Story, and some others I'm forgetting), but run like butter on CM10.
Resurrected from the grave.
Sorry XDA Mods stupid I know to bring up such an old thread but seems to me that this problem still exists regardless of how bad ass phones get.
I have a T-Mobile GNote 2 and the GS3 both run games horribly with anything based off of AOSP. CM10, 10.1, 10.1.0 Rc1, AOKP, PA, etc...I am still trying to find answer to this, it is litterally Night and Day difference between TWiz roms and AOSP when comes to FPS in games.
Thanks,
Sam

what kernel were you using on each of these? your signature says you're using phablet mode. i'm having a hard time moving past that.
Lol I just call the note 2 a phablet cause that's what it is to me. Phone plus tablet. Phablet.
Now on topic. I've tried several kernels including stock ones on both devices.

My poor Xperia Play is getting on a bit and I think it's time to put it into retirement. I'm hopefully getting an Nexus 4 soon, but I want to hang onto my Xperia Play as a pure gaming device. Mainly emulators and such, but also supporting the touch pads if possible (particularly FPSE).
I want to give it the best ROM for this purpose, with a good balance of speed, stability, and support. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Any Gingerbread rom with a custom kernel capable of overclocking will probably be fine for gaming. ICS and Jellybean are more resource-intensive, thus decreasing the in-game performance on such roms.

All my games have ran perfect since switching to NXT Light Edition.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into the ROMS suggested so far.
What's the situation with the touch pad controls in FPSE these days? Last I heard, a long while ago, they worked provided you were on an ICS ROM?
FPse touchpads work on GB/ICS now. Probably JB too
Just read my signature... No lags any more!!
I tested all roms for locked BL and that's the ONLY ONE that gave me the required performance!
Just thing what can you do with an unlocked BL!!
Cheers mate!!
Cola rom. Not sure if it works with 800i but if it does you'll love it.

I've decided to unearth my Xperia Play for some emulation (N64 and PS1). It's currently running Aurora Play 1.1, a GB based rom if I recall correctly. I have not used it for about 1.5 years, and was wonder what is the best rom now with the greatest performance with emulation for N64 on Mupen64Plus AE and PS1 on ePSXe. My phone antenna is broken so I will not be making any calls or texts, the device is purely for gaming/emulating.
I'm open to GB, ICS or JB roms but the touchpads need to function perfectly with no lags (I remember trying ICS roms and there was lag whenever the pads were used). Thanks for everyones feedback, I look forward to see what ROMs people are running and do the same things I do

High-five for being an Aurora Play user.
To my knowledge, for perfect functionality and performance, GB roms are still the best. Aurora Play is a little outdated now, especially that version, although there haven't been many fantastic advances since that rom was made in terms of GB rom performance. Vokal's GB to KitKat rom (something along those lines) is quite good, whilst I've not used it personally it was a damn good alternative to AP (better in some ways too) back in the day - I can only assume it's gotten better in the past year or so. I recommend giving it a shot.
I don't personally recommend any other Kernels aside from Doom and Wedges Kernel's to be honest - any others have originated from theirs anyway, and if they could've made them any better than they were they would've.

Thanks for your reply. I spent the last couple of days trying various ROMs. Tried xElite Gamer 2.0, but for some reason the touch pads were not functioning, as well as a couple of other ROMs. I've ended on Gin2KitKat which is what I think you're mentioning + extremekernel r3. That kernel interested me with its extra VRAM and higher OC if I needed it. This is perfect, the ROM is super fast and it almost managed full speed PPSSPP with 0 frameskip on Burnout Legends (and some games it does run). N64 is also great, SM64 runs full speed. On the previous ROMs, it gave me some stuttering sounds but that is totally not present on this ROM. I expect that the results with PS1 will be similar.
Yeah that's the one I was talking about. Nice one.
I have to say though, not so sure on the vram thing. Nice one anyway lol.
