[Q] best rom for gaming - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what's the best rom giving best performance for gaming? e.g. to reduce lags on asphalt 5 or 6?
e.g.

Htc hd2 with custom rom is able to play asphalt 6 (though it's lagging) but on native stock desire, it lags like hell... should be able to run it at least like on hd2 as desire has the same hardware

I just installed the free version of 5 and I got no lag at all. My processor is overclocked to 1190MHz but that still shouldn't make much difference.

what rom are u using? have u tried asphalt 6? it requires more resources

I played Asphalt 6 on Oxygen 2.0.1 just fine. But its not butter smooth like on phones with better GPU. I'll say that as for gaming with more advanced games, Desire isn't powerful enough + the lack of multitouch doesnt give much of a gaming experience.

Asphalt 6 doesn't work too well.Desire isn't a gaming phone for a start so it has its limitations. You're looking for a dual core really

Although I haven't tried Asphalt on my phone, I'm more than happy with the games I run on my desire running GingerVillain but to lower the chances of lag I use SetCPU to overclock to 1113 MHz and change the governor to Performance. This gives me a quadrant score of 1355 which seems to run all the 3d games I want well enough. Probably not exactly what you wanted to hear but I thought it might give you a couple of options to try before binning your desire!

ok thx just bought the htc desire... other games work fine and are pretty good.. will play nfs shift instead which is quite good

[Discussion] Dungeon Defenders on the Desire!

Has anyone managed to play Dungeon Defenders flawlessly on the Desire yet? If so, HOW!!!
I personally am using supeROM HD 2.0 D2EXT which is rather fast but I still cant get the fps to stay smooth even in tablet mode and the graphics level on under 50%. Also without damage numbers.
So anyways, I'm certain I'm not the only one with this issue and was wondering what everyone else does to get it going with maybe a certain kernel or application.
ROM: SupeROM HD v.2
Kernel: HAVS Froyo Kernel V5f 1113Mhz max
SetCPU: max 1113Mhz (smartass) min 384
PS: I don't wanna use an AOSP rom to play a game =P
I get the feeling that the main issue is not which ROM you are using but the hardware from the Desire is simply not strong enough for Dungeon Defenders.
The snapdragon processor in the desire does not have a gpu capable to run dungeon defenders smoothly.
Work smooth under MIUI...

Thankfully I'm not a massive game player on my desire otherwise this fact would make me unhappy with the phone and start lusting after new hardware.
Other than the lack of GPU I think the original desire should be 'the standard' for a few years more. It does full screen flash internet and google maps with GPS, what more do these phones really need to do?
Not sure if the way forward is to have media players with built in phones/sim slots in stead of phones with medai capabilites...

Are you sure? It doesn't rub smoothly with the oxygen rom.
I think that the Miui Rom isn't much faster than oxygen

[Q] Anyone have better emulator performance after O/C?

I was running CM7 at 1.5 GHz for a day, but I forgot to test out n64oid before going back to stock.
Has anyone here had any noticeable increase in emulator performance after an O/C?
zelda ocarina of time runs much better in certain areas with an overclock. market is prob earliest example.

Tegra 3 performance

Hey guys,
I wonder if the so called gaming SoC will get any better in terms of gaming performance with further updates from HTC. At the moment the games run barely as good as on my SGS2. I know..the resolution of the HOX is twice as high but the games graphics ar getting better and I cant even play NOVA 3 with my 'gaming device'... There is a way to make it a bit less laggy with new Base and franco kernel but it's still far away from beeing smooth. What I want to ask you is: Is there still potential for tegra 3 to run those games smooth and it's just a matter of time till an update comes that improves the framerates or is it just hardware limited? Are there other Tegra 3 devices which can run these games without any issues? I'm hoping that the 3.* kernel will improve something but actually I have no clue.
well u have to look at this from the point of view of the game/software/hardware
the one game u mentioned is not HOX compatible,
it's been force run on the device.... so as far as this go..... you'll need to wait for the game to be T3 optimized
software optimizations are still underway from both xda devs and htc.... and as u see they are getting better by the day
and finally not much to say about the hardware but... its more than capable just give it time.

[Q] about this phone

hi boys
pleasse tell me
that now this phone can help me for run new games
There a so many new games out there that can be played in htc DZ/G2.
But that also depend upon what rom you use.
I would prefer gb roms to play games better than ics roms...

I didn't tried that much new high end graphic games lately, but I play candy crush while listening music with poweramp. And it run smooth for now.
I'm playing with plants vs zombies 2, a bit laggy in the ''street'' but in the game it runs great.
GTA 3 also run, but isn't that smooth, it's payable.
I mainly play casual pass the time games like Dots, Bejeweled and things of that nature, and they run perfectly smooth, with the once in a while quick little stutter, I can say that about all of the vast amount of roms I've run. Gingerbread roms are the smoothest when it comes to gameplay though

Which rom are you using for those games?
I'm using miui by strawmetal, is like miui on steroids. I think ilwt has the best gaming performance which is the same kernel used in miui strawmetal.
To achieve better gameplay use chainfire3d (there is a risk of soft bricking) and use seeder for lag reducing .
Plants vs zombies 2 has lag when a lot of zombies, but it is logical since the games requirements are 1 gb ram. I play subway surfers pretty good with minimal lag and temple run.
As others pointed use gb roms for gaming

I'm running slimbean 6.2
Subway surfer has no lag at all. But I can feel the difference when I play it on my gf s4.
Actually, what is really bugging me, is the phone takes sooooo much time to switch app to an other.
I,e : if I,m browsing, and see something and I what to take a fast picture, it will took easy 30 seconds.
I'm sure that I never had this issue before I tried to reinstall. same problem.
With seeder is better but still takes times.
Pureperformance X gives me the best results, but it wont last long before the multitasking-lag come back. Looks like if android isn't able to kill app fast.
If you are searching phone for games, Desire Z is not a good option.

[Q] How can I gain 15-20% more speed when using emulators? (Without OC'ing)

Hey all,
Currently using xElite Gamer 2.0, tested in Aurora Play 2.0 as well, didn't notice any difference in frame rates. I'm getting +25-30 FPS in Justice League Heroes with PPSSPP but in combats the FPS drops to 20-22. Now I was wondering if there is any way to gain a little more speed, since I'm already using my Play at 1.6 GHz, and honestly I don't want to push my luck against higher frequencies. But I'm willing to "sacrifice" something like the camera to gain more RAM (don't know if it's going to help that much).
PS: Some players say Swap really helps with games, does it help with emulators as well?
Thanks in advance.
Hardly. There is already enough free RAM that PPSSPP need, weak CPU is to blame for low performance in emulation. That's why you gain speed only by overclocking. Maybe in future, if they optimise code to run better on lower end CPU's, you might gain some speed. For now, what you see is what you get...
I agree with Bakisha, sadly Xplay's hardware is ancient nowdays and 1GHz CPU single core is really weak for gaming, especially for emulation. Overclock doesn't help that much trough, I've tried FF Dissidia emulated with PPSSPP with 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 GHz overclock and there wasn't almost any difference, the game was unplayable and I got a phone crash (forced reboot) with 2.0 GHz. Consider that some PSP games lags a bit even on phones like Note 3 with 3 GB RAM and quad-core CPU so you can't expect much more from the Xplay.
