you use a runnymede sense 3.5 rom on a desire.
hardware limitations come into play. a SENSE rom (especially a ported sense 3.5 rom) uses some amount of RAM. desire has only 512mb of RAM. so when you play game, both system itself and the game use some RAM. then you go to the messaging app and apparently, in order to launch the sms app ram has to be freed (either for the app or maybe to ensure system stability(?)) so it kills the game (which probably consumes a LOT of ram, so that nothing else could be killed at this specific situation).

Yeah pretty much what dzumagos said.. lol..
Sense are RAM eaters, so you may have enough for a few apps, but then as soon as you open some more, Androids automatic task manager kills off the ones you aren't using to make space.

I'd advice you to move to a ROM without Sense, much cleaner and more rapid response. "Silky Smooth"

You can also try this. Go to Settings>RCMix3D Tweaks>System setting(the 2nd tab)>Default Memory Configuration. I did that and my apps don't close itself often now.

[Q] My xperia play can run the games smoothly only right after reboot

I usually play Fifa 12 with my xplay. it run so smooth but only when I reboot the phone before I play the game. So when I play Fifa12 during the day, There is so much lag and slowdown, Even with Hard gaming mode of ram manager pro and use fast reboot app before I play the game. on the other hand, if I reboot my phone. Every game run so smooth and I don't need to change to hard gaming mode in ram manager pro.
Any suggestion ?
ps. Sorry for my english

Because your system is probably using more ram in the middle of the day, after a reboot your system uses alot less & slowly increases, you should uninstall unused apps & close unwanted services & maybe use Advanced Task Killer (From The Play Store)

I had tried advance task killer to kill any task that show on screen. But the result is the same, the game (Fifa12) is still laging so much. Cannot be compared with its performance when reboot.

why on earth still people hold on to Task Killers when tons of reliable articles already prove they are useless and do more harm than good? oh good god

Android booster. Frees ram, actually freezes apps not kills them, saves battery. The problem is your ram is being used up. Easy fix though!

Uninstall the task killer if you are using one and let Android manage the apps on your phone by itself.

I tried it this morning. It look like just another task killer, and the result is no change, the game is still lag after I hit optimize button.

really ? Is it more effective than ram manager pro ? So, which option in v6 do you choose for you xplay ? I will try it to night and test for 1-2 days. Then I will back to report the result.

I use v6 supercharger, the kernel script they have and the die hard battery script both work great and I can go 17hrs with heavy use with gaming!

i have the same problem , it runs great after a reboot and gets slower. I installed v6 supercharge which made the homescreen blazing fast , but the games still lag after sometime. I even set a widget for "engine flush" , which may or may not help , im not sure.
Im using die hard launcher and super ledded 512hp

V6 Supercharger settings ?
Hi,
First thread I read so far where people are mentioning they use V6Supercharger on XPeria Play.
I have a question :
Do you use V6 Supercharger on the stock 2.3.4 Sony-Ericsson ROM or are you applying it on a custom ROM ?
If on the stock ROM, what settings are you putting in ?
I ask before I tried to apply V6 Supercharger on my R800i under Stock SE ROM without success.
Frozen boot screen of death...
Had to recover through ClockWorkMod. Thanks ClockWorkMod !
Thanks for your feedback !

Hi there,
As nobody answered my call so far, I come back to give feedback on my own experience.
I tried again to install the V6Supercharger Script and manage to get through this time.
The first time, I guess I simply did not wait enough time.
In fact, I had to wait like almost 10 minutes on the Sony-Ericson XPeria logo (after the boot animation) before my phone came back to life.
It can be quite stressful !
After that, I went through the pin code entry screen and found out some of my widgets did not properly load and some applications were not showing up.
Therefore, I rebooted and everything went fine on the second time. All the apps showed up properly (only mixed up in the scrolling app section).
Launching the script again, it confirmed my phone was 100% supercharged with the following settings :
- DieHard launcher
- Rock&Roll Kernel
- Miscellaneous tweaks and 3G enhancement installed
- 512HP setting with V6 CustOOMizer option
- Minfrees set at 8, 12, 40, 47, 55 and 62MB
with 367MB of Ram (is this correct for the XPlay ?).
This was applied on the Sony Ericsson stock ROM 2.3.4 and the stock Kernel.
The first impression was that the scrolling between various home displays was faster.
I started Dead Trigger, running correctly (maybe just a bit slower, not sure) and when I exited the game, I had almost no Redraw time to wait.
Before V6 Supercharger, I used to wait around 5 seconds before all the icons were there again and I could scroll.
This time, the icons were right there and the scrolling hesitated for maybe 1 second but got super smooth again right after that.
Ok, this is to share my experience with you, guys.
No idea if anyone has experience on the XPlay ? Maybe using other settings ?
As there is a clear note that this script is not intended for heavy gamers, it tends to indicate it should not be really used on the XPlay, mainly used by heavy gamers.
What is your opinion on that ?
Cheers,

How do i boost my Arc S perfomance?

Ok guys, i installed ICS 4.0.4 from the Sony site then later removed all the unwanted bloatwares....
Installed LINK2SD and now i got 340 mb free internal storage..
But when it comes to playing games, it lags alottttt. I used task killer, history cleaner all of it still no use. Games lag. Temple run lags the most... I tried swapper but i dont think it helped either (or maybe i did the steps wrong)
How do i make my phone fast?

ics will lag
SUGGESTIONS
1. go to settings and force stop each application manually(don't use any task killer)!!!
2. then go to cached memory(press the menu button) and force stop every application....
3. IF using any custom kernel then try to overclock at a higher freq..(be careful!!overclocking is dangerous)
**ICS rom can run smoothly(NON GAMING) on your device but due to low amount of ram it can't play every application without lag:crying:
**FOR GAMING ON YOUR DEVICE I WILL SUGGEST YOU TO INSTALL GB>>:good:

Dude, flash Xperia Pureness ROM v13 and Sega kernel v9 (with WiFi modules) and you will get the best gaming performance on ICS. Ever!

No problem with games on ICS.
Backup your imprtant data. Repair with pc companion. Enjoy a faster device.
Ps. Dont use pc companion if unlocked bootloader.
I did this first time ICS went out and i have no lagg, most games are smooth
Remember to set both animationsettings to 0.5x feels smoother

[Q] Lag in Games with NXT 1.3 Rom on Xperia Play

Hello to everyone, i have installed a custom rom for my Xperia Play with Locked Bootloader, the Custom Rom is NXT 1.3 and its performance in games was excellent newly installed, but when i started to install my apps or restore my apps the performance felt. So i thought that was ocurred cause was filling up the internal memory, so I put most of the applications on the SD card and some go to the ROM, but the performance doesn't improve as well, i read and a i have try different things like install Ram Manager Pro to free more RAM in games, to Use Task killer for Tasks in Ejecution and i dont see an considerable change in its performance. So Can i do for play more smooth?
The another thing is the NXT 1.3 have Busybox and support for scripts Init.d but i try to use an option for swap but maybe my stock kernel dont support it and another option for max size aplication's data in Ram Manager Pro ask me for busybox as if i didnt installed it, and i don't know why.
Thank yo
PD: Sorry for my poor English cause my native language is Spanish. XD

you need to overclock your rom.
here is the link for download No-frills CPU Control (i use this one): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wOSwiaXQuc2luZW8uYW5kcm9pZC5ub0ZyaWxsc0NQVSJd
After download that overclock it to: Max - 1,709 Ghz | Min - 249 Mhz | Governor - smartassV2 | I/Oscheduler - sio

i use doomlord kernel.

A Question
But if i have locked bootloader and by that stock kernel i cant to overclock cause i cant change kernel. is there another option for improve the game experience with the NXT 1.3 Rom or another???

I know this might not help but could you tell me how good heavy 3d gaming was when you first installed the ROM. Did you play games like GTA:VC/GTA 3/Modern Combat 3/4 / Batman Dark Knight Rises etc without NO LAG or with minimal lag? Im on dixperia 2 and out of the 3 ROMs ive been on, its provided me with the good performance although it does slightly lag when doing heavy 3d gaming...

Nxt Light 1.3
I was experiencing the same issue. I am using the light version of the custom ROM, and it was blazing fast upon installation. Now that all of my games are installed, it is slightly slower than it was before, not very noticable though. If it helps, before playing a game, I use Es Task Manager to clear up about 200mb of memory so more is available for the games. My bootloader is locked as well. I wish there was a stable ICS on the Xperia Play. The ICS user interface, in my opinion, is much smoother than gingerbread.

Well i played games as Nova 3, Modern Combat 3, Pes 2012, Fifa 12, Asphalt 7 and i felt the rom really smooth but later when i had all my apps restored and time after working with the rom, definitely the was slower than rom newsly installed, now i have lag in all games :S. I have Advance task killer installed and when i'm going to play i free memory with the task killer, i used chainfire with Qualcomm and i free cache memory, but i never have 200 Mb free only when i reboot. Cause the services are restarted and the Ram memory is fill up really fast and i dont know why and what i can do :S

Dont use any task killer!!! This has been discuss throughout XDA in any android dev. All custom rom hav init.d support & they hav thier own set of minfrees'. Using task killer/manager will conflict with all the roms' tweak. Capish!!!

Many task managers are there just to run ads, they can eat up your battery, the programs will try to load in the free ram, it will kill it and over and over.
Install LBE (in my signature), it have the feature to prevent user and system programs from autostarting, although there might be other lighter apps that does this. Leave the ram management to android, just clear the ram before you launch a game.
You could try and watch what programs use up the most ram and see if you can replace it worth lighter apps. Launchers and widgets tends to, especially weather ones. I use holo launcher with light widgets only.

But i feel the rom less smooth than newlsy installed, Thank you for answering!!!

Dont do anything. Just use it as is. If it gets laggy, reboot, wipe cache/dalvik-cache. Solve. Custom rom hav init.d support. That alone is enough to giv u the perf u need. Any other ram management app will only eat ur intrnal mem & ram at the same time. Just find some init.d & build.prop tweak all over XDA. Its impossible to "NOT" find any. Cheerio.

Another question my friend what app can i used for cache/dalvik cache (For no reboot all time XD) and i can't use swapping on Stock Kernel? cause i cant in my XP with NXT ROM with locked bootloader. Thank you!!!

U can use swap if u need'em. As for cache/dalvik-cache, there's an init.d tweak for it. U just gotta find it. I think dixperia 2 hav'em. Did u tried that rom before?? If dont, mybe u should giv it a try. If not try finding them tweaks.

I've tried to install a swapper but when i verify if it is running on memory use the swap space are in 0 like if i didnt install the swapper or if it isn't running, what can i do? The another question is this:
I found a tweaks collection and i want to try that but i dont know if that could generate conflict with the tweaks of the NXT ROM have with it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456777
Somebody said games are better installed in internal memory than SD Card, that is right? by the way what configuration or tweaks or apps you used for games like Nova 3, Asphalt 7 or Street Fighter IV? Thank you for answering!!!!

Remember i have locked bootloader and by that stock kernel :S.

[Q] How can I have more free ram?

I use CM10 rc5 and my problem is I have like 30-40mb free ram all the time.
I only run weather and email widgets, no antivirus, no ram optimizer. I also have trouble playing games like Temple Run, it keeps lagging.
Is there anything I can do about it?
Any program to log memory consumption of background apps also?

There are many ways actualy.
Depends on what you need.
You can instal those bigmem kernels, like yoons or what was it called, it has 395mb ram, and the camera can still take pics.
Or u can instale the 423mb version, which hasnt got the camera working, but still, 423mb free.
And tick in the developer settings, then limit to 1 background process.
THat should make more RAM, or u can even tick the close the programm after u end using it.
