Regarding Doomlord Kernel - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Regarding the newest doomkernel, is the xLoud working for you guys??

No, pretty sure it was confirmed it was the new firmware that broke xloud, not the kernel.
However, I'm not sure if 4.0.2.A.0.42 has this issue or not, I haven't updated yet.
It seems to me that the volume has increased from the last firmware, regardless of xloud, so it doesn't bother me.

yea, it sure is louder I noticed, but not as loud as I remembered lol..
Btw, do you experience any laggings when playing games such as Backstab HD? Mine is lagging pretty badly from time to time....

Try changing the I/0 scheduler to noop

It's still lagging for me =(
What's the difference between those profiles? I use the default governor.. should I change to something else?

I mean the I/O (Input/Output) scheduler not the CPU Governer You can use no frills CPU control to set it

I did that in the nofrills already.. even overclocked to 1.5ghz but still lags=(

Can I use this even on stock rom? I have some laggy games too..

Yea you can use it on stock rom.. But it didn't help my case at all though..
Hmm, updated to the latest generic rom but still didn't solve my lagging problems

xLoud's definitely working for me with Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42, and DooMKernel 5v2. I haven't had even the slightest bit of lag either (once the bloatware was removed of course), in fact I find it's the fastest firmware yet for me. Or maybe it's all DooMKernel that's making it speed by. Either way, no problems to be noted.

[Help] Lots of freezes and crushes after updating to 4.0.5

Hi,
I've had my Archos G9 80 updated to the latest android official 4.0.5 from and since then i'm expriencing lots of crushes and freezes. I'm getting them randomly with no specific app working.
Also, i have tried to do full formats (Android + Data), and still having same issues.
Does anyone have any idea what else i can try?
Thanks.
I had lots of freezes too (not only with the latest firmware). They seem to be gone since I changed the CPU govenor from "hotplug" to "interactive". I'm not sure yet that it was the reason, but try it and let us know if it helps.

Yes, can this be done from the phone itself? Within the ROM?
You can set this in any tool that is intended for overclocking. I don't overclock, I only changed the Govenor.
I use "SetCPU". ("No-frills CPU Control" should do the same.)
So does this have any other effects on the phone?

Nothing too serious. Your CPU is clocked dynamically so it doesn't run full speed when there is nothing to compute(save energy). To my understanding the govenor is basically a policy to manage how quickly the frequency steps up/down on changing CPU load. So "powersave" is supposed to save energy but make the system a little less reactive than "interactive" Governor for example. I think I read somewhere "hotplug" deactivates the second core on low load situations, I suspect for some strange reason my device might have crashed sometimes on trying to wake up the sleeping second core. Well maybe I'm wrong, that's why I'm interested if it helps others.
I didn't notice any change in battery lifetime, mostly it's the display anyway that drains the battery. Everything is running well, battery lifetime is great too and no crash/freeze at all since i changed that setting and it crashed almost every damn day before, no matter if it was Honeycomb or ICS.
I downgraded the device to 4.0.4 and since then, no crushes.. I guess for some reason 4.0.5 isn't stable on my device.. ill stick with this version unroll they get another one out..
To downgrade, just install official update file of the version you want to upgrade to..

changing govenor from "hotplug" to "interactive" seems to help against random freezes. 4 days without problems until now i had freezes with ics, but never with honeycomb.

That seems to be my problem too. Setcpu requires root. is there a very easy way to do this, just to run this setcpu? There used to be a z4 tool, but can't seem to find it anymore.
Edit I see that I need superoneclick. Will temporary root suffice or will I need permanent root to change the governor setting.and keep it so.
Unfortunately all know temp root variants tend to brake things- im Honeycomb sound, in ICS 3d driver.
The only real option is to enable SDE and use custom firmware.
As for freezes- try reinstalling apps. Direct upgrade from Honeycomb does not work for all

sorry for the n00b question, but SDE stands for ??? S ? Develeper Edition ?
Will "Superoneclick" not root my device ?

No, it won't. Gen9 system layout is different than for most other devices
hey, back to topic
5 days without freeze with govenor "interactive". i witched back to "hot plug" this morning and had to reboot my tablet 2 times today. for my case, "interactice" seems to help against random freezes.
mines performance intstead of interactive... experienced some freezing n interactive..
Man I'm really pissed.
Yesterday I had to hard reboot 7 times

hmm,
sounds not good. archos stands not for high quality i guess. we get what we pay . i had an archos 101g8, now a 101g9 and trouble with hard-/firmwares since 2010. i think, this was the last one - no furthermore advantures
@IrishStuff09: you did reformat for ics or upgrade from honeycomb? the best way is to start from scratch and skip upgrades.

I have already try this but the games are lagging (Reckless Racing 1 and 2, Rainbow Six, etc..). Can it be beacouse i am on stock rom?
What version of Doomkernel do you have? v11 and v13 2013 have a GPU overclock which caused some of our phones to underperform. v13 3013 should be fine for everyone.
I actually got very slightly higher 3D graphics Antutu scores with Darkforest kernel, but the battery life was better on Doomkernel (this is judging on JokaWild 2.5 rom) so stuck with that.
I am using Doom Kernel oc'd to 1.6ghz on a Stock R800X build, and game performance has improved dramatically over the Stock Kernel. Shadowgun and GTA3 used to be stuttering, laggy and unplayable. Now they are both smooth and enjoyable.

Good point, I would steer clear of ANY gpu overclocking. It has always had bad effects on my devices. Cpu overclocking is fine and recommended.
What about best Rom for gaming ?

The Rom I'm on (JokaWild 2.5) has boot scripts in \system\etc\init.d\ ...
I/O scheduler is SIO (I don't know what's best here)
CPU max/min on boot I'd modified to 1017600/364800 (SmartassV2). I only overclock as and when I need to.
I bought Reckless Racing 1 and Shadowgun when I was stock ROM + kernel and they never seemed to lag, although I didn't play them that much. Just reinstalled and had a spin of Reckless and it seems fine.
Do you find the homescreens / interface lagging as a whole? I had a problem on Doomkernel to start with where it would boot up at 921MHz max, and lag like crazy. I think it's because the CPU frequency table in Doomkernel is different to stock (eg. 1017600 instead of 1024000). Using OC/UV Beater 1.7 or SetCPU etc, or the boot script I've just mentioned, makes sure it's at the Doomkernel frequencies, and made the problem go away.
This might be someone else with the same issue on the Arc, I never took a logcat unfortunately.

Touchscreen priority in ICS

Hello guys!
I have Xperia arc(LT15i) running modded .587, running on Lupus v10 kernel at 364-1612Mhz, ondemand, sio, with the kernel memory enhancements written on unit.d.(+ disabled cpu rendering and several other unit.d scripts).
Recently i downloaded CSR Racing, just to try it. The problem is that the game is RAM and CPU hungry. The gpu handles smoothly the game, but when the cpu is overloaded, the game continues to run, but the touchscreen is irresponsible for a moment(the problem accures at most of the time, but not always). I tried performance governer with several other schedulers but the difference is bearly visible.
My opinion is that the touchscreen suffers of insufficient priority. Is there any way of having this fixed?

It's not a matter of touchscreen priority, the game takes up a lot of memory so although it runs smoothly, the touch input will lag.

Try with flashing Adreno v.3 drivers - they will make the phone more responsive in every way with nearly to zero UI lagginess!

Thanks for the response! I've flashed them more than 4-5 months ago(instantly when they were out)
EDIT: I want to flash 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. I looked some JB roms and they were told to be very performance friendly... the only thing which prevents me flashing are the JB kernels which are with disabled 720p support.

Better with flashing an custom ICS ROM that you can mod so it act and looks like an JB ROM - it will give you 720p support without any quality drawbacks!

Overclocking -> CPU heats up -> Heat affects nearby parts -> In worse case, your phone parts get damaged (meltdown!)
Don't do it.

Usually i do not play games, and when required for a moment, when running on 1.6Ghz max i have instant response. My phone doesn't get warm, except when charging and playing heavy game or browsing the net via 3G(from which i stay away from)
Thanks for the warning, as i know the silicon melts at more than 130-140C, which i think are hardly possible. Since a long time i've developed for myself a way of holding my phone while having usage with intense processing. Add that i observe my battery and the temperature was never beyond 40-43C while charging and heavy usage.
And thanks a lot for the responses connected with my phone I'll take a note

[Q] Heroes of order and chaos

Anyone playing this game on xperia play? What rom are u using? Any tweak recommended for this game? Im using JokaWildv3 1.2ghz(1.4ghz will overheated my phone and i cant type well on keyboard) smartassv2 sio and init.d file for swap but this game still lag, not too laggy. So if anyone can tell me what rom suite for this game. No lag of course. I love this game. Thanks!

I think the problem maybe it's because you are using an old version of the rom... maybe if you try another rom like Bane of Speed or Gin2Kitkat that are more actual the problem of your lag maybe dissapear... the other thing maybe is your kernel... i found really fast the Lupus Gb-ICS v7, maybe if you try with diferent roms and kernels you can find the best one for you.

Cpu throttling?

I notice that a game I'm playing tends to lag a little when the phone gets hotter. Does this mean the cpu is throttling and is there a safe way to change it so it doesn't do that?
Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk
Any phone will lower cpu speeds during a thermal event, only way to change it would be to modify the kernel or use root to change the governor to a better optimized/efficient profile.
have you tried the game function in general settings?
Yeah. The game is already at half resolution or whatever. I guess I could mess around with it some more. I did read of a kernel somewhere on here that allows me to mess with the cpu governor, but I don't know if I'll be flashing it or not. Going to do some more reading.
I might check out Lineage 17 to see if that's better, but the Bluetooth thing holds me back.
I play Pubg mobile. I also experienced lags. It is caused by thorttling. Since I rooted the phone and changed CPU governor to conservative or performance I have no lags at all. Games are running smooth as hell.
