Homescreen refreshes after heavy games

I also wanna know. Also I want to know a RAM management app coz when I quit heavy games like FIFA 12, GTA III, Asphalt 6, Backstab and sometimes even with Timescape, gallery! ,the icons of my home screen restart. Due to RAM

This is probably the only method which can make homescreen more persistent.

Could you do some research instead of creating one thread after another?

Chainfire 3D doesn't work!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong because I tried installing chainfire 3D on my wfs but after installing it and rebooting, it still says for me to install. I'm not sure if I did something wrong but can someone help me with this issue. Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

You didn't read the app description, did you? It says:
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
The Wildfire S is only 600Mhz.

It just doesn't work, deal with it ... even with 806mhz oc ...

maybe one day we can overclock to 1ghz

it worked before when i was on android 2.3.3 but after updating to 2.3.5 it just doesnt work anymore for some reason

okay I was tryin to upload some of my screenshots here from Dead Space but I just cannot since I dont have enough posts on this forum = D. Nevermind, so just quicky..
I was testin it on 2 games Dead Space and Eternal Legacy.
There wasnt much difference on Dead Space. The textures looked the same, the HUD was just blury, game is playable without some changes via chainfire so no biggy. However I was tryin to smooth up Eternal Legacy because the game is really unplayable. With chainfire the difference was big. The textures was downscaled, less details and the HUD was blurry. Still the game is unplayable...

Best Custom Rom For Xperia Play

I can't seem to find a Rom that im just 100% happy with. I've tried various GB and ICS roms but still am not happy. I like to play the Asphalt racing series and every rom I've tried on still lags. My Xperia Play 4G I've had unbranded bootloader unlocked and have tried cyanogenmod 7 and 9, I've tried the official ICS, nxt, true ancestor, and various other roms. I don't understand swap file or swap partition usage. Im also a user of supercharger v6 script which im not sure if it actually works. Please advise me.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Gin2JB or Xperia NXT (i think that's the name). Try overclocking as well. If you don't like V6, you could unsupercharge and try RAM manager from google play store.

what ICS Official do you use ? is this what you mean ?
i plan to flash this ROM to my Xperia Play , and i plan to unlock the bootloader of my device
what you mean missing the game play ? is the game play getting more laggy on that ROM ?

Yes thats the ics Rom im talking about. I call it official because Sony has been helping that developer finish it. But asphalt 6 and 7 lag on it but very playabe. GTA 3 is unplayable.(same with all ics roms) nova 3 lags. Gingerbread is just what our xperia plays are meant to run. PsXperia games converted for GB are also unsupported. Meaning only ps1 games can play on ics are the small list of officials from the store. so if you want a gaming phone stay with a GB stock or custom rom. Im using 2.3.3 stock with lupus kernel o.c. to 1500ghz and supercharged

hmmm so some games is still uncompatible with the ROM :crying: even the converted ps pocket games with PSXperia :crying:
but isn't ICS has improved memory management for running apps ? then why the game is more laggy & incompatible
based on your testimonial i guess i cancel my plan to unlock bootloader and flash this ICS ROM + custom kernel , for now
until markphyton can make the very stable release ( let's just hope so ) hehehe
i currently using Xperia NXT 1.3 KrisDee with stock kernel ( locked bootloader ), i found this stable custom ROM for GB and great gaming performance
but i have found a few small problem like , missing DLNA feature , cannot like track in music player ( like on facebook ) , cannot sync with senseMe & cannot charge the battery in OFF posistion

Ive had a bad experience gaming on ics. I dont necessarily say ics is unstable. It has came leaps and bounds from where it was on xperia Play its just I think these devices lack the extra hardware requirements. I.e. Cpu,gpu,ram. Gingerbread unfortunately being outdated is still the most stable for gaming. You can still achieve dlna by using es file explorer and setting up ftp with your router, pc. I access all my home files everywhere on my phone.

Unlocking your bootloader is still not a bad $20 investment. The test point method is simple, effective, and fast. You also might be able to find flashable addons for those other options you mentioned. Just saying. Im still happy im unbranded and can flash roms and kernels at my desire.

You wont be disappointed after unlocking your bootloader. I recommend the lupus GBv5 kernel and dont forget to flash the lupus wifi modules afterwards.

so Xperia Play HW is not good enough for ICS , hmmm so maybe the other 2011 Xperia product is laggy even on official ICS
yeah i want to unlocking the bootloader , is it worth for flashing other custom kernel ? is the differences is significant ?
and one problem is , i dont want to lose the DRM on my devices , so i prefer the testpoint method , but i find it hard to remove the sticker on the back of the phone it's very sticky , lol :laugh:

Its totally worth being able to flash custom kernel. Id say the changes are significant. And removing the sticker is the hardest part of the test point method. You wont lose drm either.

That has an interesting install method. Restore from CWM rather than installing from a .zip I imagine I'd have to flash myself back to stock 2.3.3 before I could install that?
Anyway, thanks for the heads up on Turbo Kernel (yeah I'm running r9 right now) I'll check that out too.

Just out of interest, wy does the regular version (as in what's on Google Play) of Subway Surfer not work on the Gio? Is it to do with screen size, processor speed or what? I'm not really into the games, but my little girl liberated my all-singing-all-dancing HTC, so she could play things like Subway Surfer, and left me with the Gio. Her friend has a Gio, and I guess it would be nice if she could play as well: I could also wave "my" Gio under my daughter's nose, and say "Nuh nuh nuh! My phone runs Subway Surfer as well" OK, real childish, but what the hell :silly:

It's about the processor,our is armv6 and u need armv7 to play smooth this game but it can be ported to armv6 but i didn't found any good port
