What is the best Rom/Kernel for playing 3d games? Im trying to play emulators and all of them are really slow, but I'm sure theres a way to speed things up a bit.
And YES I DID SEARCH THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING :0
CM7 is nice for gaming. But if its just slow, go into your governor settings and ramp up your cpu usage just a bit.
Been using Salvage-Mod 1.1 for gaming. Works great for me : )

Hello,
I've tried to convert the games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (SLUS 01419) and Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX (SLUS 01113) with PSXperia 2.0. The games inicializated properly in the phone, and ran without any lag, but in both cases, the characters textures were much deformed, making it just unplayable. Somebody get one of these converted games running 100%? I was figuring the possibility of use FPse v0.11.26, but Tony Hawk's ran without sound, and Mat Hoffman's did not get a good fps rate (was slow enough to disturb the game play experience).
Is there anyone who are playing these games and can tell me how to do?
My device is R800i with stock rom, 2.3.4.
I had the same issue with THPS1, I think all the games are affected. Have you tried FPSe? Looks like it may have better luck, maybe not perfect but certainly better.
Yes, i Have tried FPSe, version 0.11.26, but it didnt play the THPS 3 sounds, and its nothing wrong with the rom, in epsxe, for PC, the sounds are played. In Mat Hoffmans, FPSe didnt get a good performance, sometimes the fps falls highly, getting rates under 25.
FPSE v0.11.28 is newly out.
Maybe THPS2 is the best one? I've got THPS1 somewhere, not tried it...
At 1.0GHz I can play in software mode without frameskip, just some occasional audio/music stutter e.g. around the plane on the first level.
At 1.4GHz I can use the OpenGL plugin with music and without frameskip, again with only occasional lag. Frameskip or Boost Mode kills the gameplay. It's kind of my benchmark for testing roms.
So not perfect, but nearly there and playable.
I'm not stock though, currently using Doomkernel v14, Gin2ICS 1.6.9 plus the 15scheduler & 20perfsettings init.d scripts from JokaWild to set and tweak the sio i/o scheduler.
Just wondering, if anyone can play N64 games on their phone without lag. I know it lagged on stock but maybe if I OC it wont lag, what governer/scheduler do you recommend I use.

I'm using the Scary Governor and the Sio I/O Scheduler with the Kernel (Dust V9.0) Overclocked to 768mhz which gives the best Battery/Performance Ratio. I haven't tried an N64 Emulator with it yet but if it doesn't work with that then it probably never will.
P.S. Don't overclock more than 768mhz, the phone will get alot of problems.
So is this confirmed running good or??
Like can you can play ocarina of time at all???
Or what games run smoothly?
Hi, i'm using the franco kernel r66 nightly with android revolution 10 rom 4.2.2, The newest one now. Oc'd to 1.5 ghz with 700mhz min and interactive governer and i'm experiencing lag in the game need for speed most wanted. I have no tasks open and it feels really really slow, 0.5x slower, like the timer in the top right counting up is choppy. How can i get the performance that youtube demos of this game on the gnex has? The videos on youtube, they're playing it perfectly but im not playing it perfectly.
I also have force gpu rendering on with android revolution hd
You are playing the game with all graphics unlocked AKA QuadCore quality smartphones
It happened because franco kernel overclocked the graphics to 512mhz, and the game thinks you have a awesome phone ( and you do!)
If you force it to go back to the original Nexus graphics, you'll want the nice graphics back, so my sugestion, is:
If you want to play the game, CPU - 1500mhz or 1600, and Governor: Performance (this is the key point)
You can also tweak other performance settings in the custom kernel part (in the franco kernel updater app), like finding what IO suits you best for the game.
With those tweaks, i run the game with full 30fps, except 1 or 2 tracks, in which there is a lot of water on the ground, but in those tracks it is completely playable still(23~27fps), but the game runs well in most tracks, with amazing refletions and shadows
Edit: Don't force GPU rendering
Wait, Wouldn't it make the game think i dont have the quad core phone if i use a trinity kernel 384mhz gpu? Then wouldn't that be fine?
Thankyou for the tip.
No idea, but it might work like that
Although in my opinion, i prefer the game with those graphics
I can withstand those 1 or 2 tracks
Thank you for everything, I flashed trinity and it worked, Honestly i dont see the difference but now its so much fun since it's playable now

Am using samsung core. Not even one game plays smooth in my phone
I just finished rooting my phone, installed Monster rom.(Even before root, it wasn't good at all)
I've set the frequency max-1.2ghz and min.frq-700. Governor- Performance.
Is there anyway i can play em smooth ????
Hi Guys, i missed my xperia play so i bought a new one, the scene has changed on here since i left it a year ago for the better, brilliant roms and kernels now!
However am i doing something wrong?
I've tried many kernels and rom combinations but im still experience lag in games (not as bad as a year ago though)
It annoys me as i will be enjoying a game then it will just lag really bad and i lose control of the dpad / touchpad for a few seconds.
Its not constant lag but enough to bug me!
I've tried LuPuS v12 480p and extremkernel R2 000p with the following roms:
Gin2jellybean
Aurora Play
XElite
Atomic
I cant get bane of speed to install (keep getting E: partition error? help?)
These are all GB roms will i have better success on Ice Cream Sanswhich?
i usually OC with 1.6ghz smartass v2 / sio (However i've tried all settings even under-clocked)
Any advice / help would be great
p.s.
Major annoyance is when i play Mario kart 64 on n64oid it freezes my phone no matter what kernel / rom / OC settings im on!!! v2.7 doesn't crash on mupen any ideas?
You should really try ICS roms. Pritty much stable and able to run even heavier games. Just keep in mind that in ICS roms it's everlasting battle in perfomance vs features. Use lupus ICS/GB 480p kernel.
Ofcorse, it depends what games/emulators you are playing, but i can say ICS is compatible with 95% of games (that i try).

Did u data reset before tryuing each rom? (use Tiyanium Backup to backup and resote apps exactly where they were!)

Edit
Imo best rom is stock debloted+RTmixManager/v6SuperXharger/Pizza_Box(not all jusr 1 of em)
Edit2
Sounds weird but keep ur oc to 1.2 GHz in games, just try thqt, nd dont use performancr govenor unless emulating
It is obviously personal preference - i have just spent the whole night testing roms.
Don't like the ICS roms they all seem too fiddly,
I finally settled on LuPuS v12 480p and Gin2jellybean 1.4ghz / smartassv2 / sio
UI is smooth and modern looking and most games run fast as! only getting the odd stutter during a game but only on some and its rare.
I have one major issue now which i dont know if its the rom or the kernel, but i'll pick 2 games its occurring on: Rage of the gladiator and Lara Croft both games are not playing videos in game?
The phone doesn't play any mp4 on the basic stock player, anyway i can fix this? (3rd party players do work but not for the in game videos)
Thanks in advance
why don't you try JB ROMS ..try this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357756
always wipe data/cache/system/rom before installing a new ROM. hopefully this should fix your problem..

It was the kernel learnt the difference between full / ram (full contains video playback) im all happy now it doesnt have seemed to affect the games in anyway that i can notice anyway.
thanks for all your help and suggestions
I use performance for gaming as it keeps the frequency set. Smartass changes frequencies constantly and that could have some affect

On the lupus 480 kernel I get that too with the videos not playing. Asphalt 6 wontload the opening video but says it's unable to play it. Then it loads the game

Hey there guys,
I'm currently on latest PA and mpokang. My question is how does GPU overclocking help? I read about a few stuff on Google. It says it improves our graphics, ok, but I didn't notice any change in my graphics while playing, Fifa 14 suppose. Just my phone heats up pretty fast.
Help maybe?
It gives your phone more power in graphic intensive tasks. It means you'll have more FPS in games for example which will make game run smoother
