I wonder, because I've always been into gaming on alot of consoles, so I'd like to play games on my EVO, but smoothly

About the best thing you can do is get a lightweight ROM, Overclock your custom kernel
R2R going green and download no frills app to overclock, whatever it is if its sense I strongly reccomend amon ra recovery and ChopSuey kernel

+10 This is the correct answer!!
Honestly any good aosp ROM.....decks, cm7, whatever. U should also give the savagedzen kernel a go. My handset seems to like it better, especially for intense graphic stuff......tiamat is still the standard though.
Thanks guise, should give them a try :3
i came into this thread, curious, since i've turned my evo into a media/game device and was wondering if there was a better setup than i'm currently using.
but apparently deck's 1.3 with tiamat 3.3.7 sbc and chainfire3d is... pretty hard to beat
I was not saying sense was better for gameing, I was saying if u are going to use sense that will work great on ALL levels, as in customization, speed, and simplicity...

Who's thread? I'm curious on how to use CF3D
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14091373
Chainfire3d basically replaces your opengl driver with his modified version. Download the app, open it up, and click install Chainfire3d drivers. In his thread he gives pretty detailed information on what each of the settings do.
Deck's AOSP Rom or Barnacles AOSP Rom are the best to try, they are as base as you can get (CM7 comes with ADW Launcher blah) And either kernels mentioned above but I use Tiamat.
Use setCPU to set up 'performance' governor and max speed of 1.19 anything in the 1.2 range and you risk freezing/crashing. It all depends on your phone tho so you're welcome to try out 1.2Ghz OC if your phone can handle that stable.
Chainfire isn't really required as I only use it in rare occasions. usually to play Tegra based games or to use it's OpenGL features to lower texture quality etc..
Only drawback to the AOSP roms I've found tho are that multi-touch can be a bit buggy, if you're pressing with one finger already then another to move the screen around in lets say an FPS game, it's very choppy whereas Sense roms are smooth (but it might just be phone specific) Another slight issue I've noticed in AOSP roms is they make poor use of the radio/wifi drivers, I get better signal/wifi reception on Sense based roms, but this was a topic for gaming so anyway.. I'm currently testing a recently released sense 1 official Evo OG rom for games and I'm actually impressed (using it with stock kernal no SetCPU) soon I will be trying out some kernels but if you hate AOSP you should give some of the custom OG Roms a try.

which roms do u guys like the most? and please say why?
i am currently using HOTSAUCE ROM and loving it. but battery life was draining way to quick.
VIDEO TAKING WAS LIMITED to 30 minutes.
so i installed Virtuous v0.9.0 Sense but wasnt very customizable so i switched back to HOTSAUCE ROM.
also has unlimited time for VIDEO TAKING.
(video is important to me)
GingerVillain 1.5
Why?
I like gingerbread, it's fast, OC'd @ 1,4 GHZ and battery life is pretty good.
CyanogenMod. It's the best. 'nuff said.

select the link in the post, advanced kernel allows OC to 1.49ghz but requires setcpu parameters.
I've tried a lot of roms, and let me say that Virtuous is an awesome rom if you like the Sense UI. Awesome. I just had a problem with one app fc'ing all the time, so I started trying others. I am staying on the Cyanogen Nightlies, because they run so quickly and smoothly, especially with pershoot kernel.
I have not tried GingerVillain since I'm having so much fun with the nightlies.

CM7 build #20 at the moment, runs sweet, gingerbread, very customizable, and it's receiving updates constantly, by the time you read this, I won't be probaly on the same build.
I'm currently running CM7.2 RC1 which runs amazingly and hardly uses any battery at all. Is anyone else using this ROM and tried installing Adrenaline Mod, Supercharged V6, or EXT4 all? I've tried but I haven't seen any performance increases after applying them. Does RC1 have them built in already?
Thanks!
If there is no performance improvements that you can see from installing the mods then I don't see a need to install the mods.
CM does not have any of the mods you listed. ext4 support has been added to the ramdisk of cm7 a few months back but it's not quite the same as the mod as it doesn't actually convert the filesystems like the mod does.
Do you use any of the mods? If you have, have you noticed any boots in performance?

I use ext4 and adrenaline. Ext4 is better internal memory management so no real user-end improvements, adrenaline has helped to speed things up for me. I feel like I can underclock a little bit more with it on.
What is your max clock now? Right now I'm down to stock speed again because I don't see a boost with being overclocked.

I found stock speeds (245/998) in setcpu or cm settings was best.
I hate to sound like a broken record but if you don't see an improvement with it being overclocked then the only other reason would be bragging about better benchmarks. Phone will run cooler at stock, more stable and probably better battery too.
And depending if you're running the kernel with cm7.2 or another kernel there are also governor settings to play with.
Thanks for your input! Now my only issue is how to check to see what is keeping my phone awake while the screen is off. Are there any apps or another way to check this? I'll attach a screenshot once I'm at a PC.

It's a matter of preference,
I use CM9 RC2
For Gingerbread, I love the rom Gin2Jellybean
I use cm9 rc 2 with fxp Turbo 1 kernel. Very smooth so far for the most part .

over clock with nofrills to 1.402ghz using smart ass V2 and deadline and also to boost it up even more (no lag) use application called ramexpander and set it to 512mb ram and 90mb swappiness and click start (top left) and enjoy turn off ramexpander by unticking when your not using it!!!

Camera works fine, The only browser related problem I've came across was when I went to youtube.com instead of the app then proceeded to skip a few minutes into the video... then I got a message saying the browser is not responding... other than that it's awesome, one complaint tho. The sound QUALITY is better but the sound VOLUME is lower than the stock GB.
Just bought the game earlier (well you can't really go wrong with 25c) and performance is just downright terrible. O knew about the framerate issues, but didn't know it was this bad. Is there nothing I can do about it?
I'm running omega v27 btw with the latest version of siyah and overclocked cpu/gpu or not, it runs bad. I see some people posting that it runs great on their s3 but I fail to see how that's possible unless jellybean has a performance penalty (doubt it though as everything else runs fine)

I tried reflashing the kernel used by omega and yeah, performance did improve. But it still stutters randomnly. I wonder if this is the game at its best for android devices, or if I can still squeeze out some more frames

My feeling is that this game doesn't perform well in Omega, not with Siyah and not with stock kernel. Having the best results with the official odexed DLIB.
Odd the game works fine on my phone from what I have played, I`m on stock rom and stock kernel.

I think omega 27 JB doesnt use updated mali drivers..iv read that somewhere i just cant remeber..i noticed it when i played dead trigger on stock ics i had the ultra graphics settings but when i updated to omega 27 i only get to have high graphics settings on dead trigger. it seems to be gpu drivers used in jb or omega.
I'm using checkRom v5.5 with hacked stock kernel, and it's v much playable. Fps could be better, but it's fine.
Not that I have on my S3 but on my desire I used chainfire's app (edit:chainfire3d) to get GTA3 working on it. Maybe try that?

have you tried to enable gpu rendering? give huge boost..
I have looked through the forum, and even on CM's forum, but did not find the answer I was looking for, so I ask, if thats okay.
I am Using the newest stable CM 10.1, and I would like to replace the kernel that allows overclocking. I have seen Francos Kernel, but I do not know how well it likes the New CM10.1.
Any suggestions maybe?
Thanks

I went ahead, and made a Nandroid backup, flashed the kernel using fastboot.

Only things I have seem to lost are the colour hacks, and the GPU speed setting. Hmm...
