does anyone lag when playing games on the gnex? it is very choppy when playing 3d games like running fred or dungeon defenders.
im currently on stock, unrooted and am wondering if installing custom roms will improve the frame rates?
I have aokp m4 installed with Franco's latest r98 kernel and I have no lag in any game... and I play the same ones u listed plus shadow run modern combat 3 and back stab

Modern combat 3 is very smooth, but the multitouch bug kills the gameplay
Can't speak for stock, I was only stock for 20 minutes. But I haven't experienced any lag in any games on the ROMs I've run. Games include: Shadow Gun, Flick Golf, and Asphalt 6 HD.

can u try running fred and dungeon defenders?
they are my favourite games but the lag is quite frequent on both games, especially dungeon defenders...
I tried Running Fred and it indeed shutters 2 or 3 times per seconds. What is strange it that it seems to do it for several frames.
I'd guess the game has a bad rendering pipeline.
Just tried Running Fred, no lag. CM9 currently with stock CM9 kernel, GSM phone.

thanks..i guess i have to root and install aokp + franco kernel. any ideas what is the best and easiest way to root the phone (im currently looking at the GNex Toolkit)?

If you're not familiar with fast boot and/or adb, that's the safest bet. I'd encourage you to at least review the fast boot method however.

I'm running cm9 with glados kernel, default settings. No lag for fred, and the only lag in dungeon defenders is when they spawn the new waves.

I play Dead Space on Android and it is as smooth as you could ever imagine. But there is occasionally a few lag and buggy, but it doesn't bother me much. Also, multitouch is a breeze on that game too. It's rooted, stock ROM
kind of sucks that you have to root and flash a rom in order to play certain games lag free
I'm rooted but on stock...i'll give the games a try and let you know from my end. It's a better comparison since I'm on stock too.
The other posters who have custom kernels and roms are obviously going to have different results.
I'm on stock too and no lag at all for Super Monkey Ball Sakura and The Sims FreePlay.

Aw, I thought he's asking about gaming in general on GNex.
It's probably a better idea to email the app developers than asking here.

Ya that's what I was thinking too....could just be they aren't optimized for ICS yet.

who knows if you have to; there's obviously a selection bias here in that most of us already have custom roms/kernels installed.
Awaiting your stock results.

Just tried out running fred...definitely not "very choppy" for me. I am getting slight stutters usually when one of those "checkpoint reach" pop ups come the framerate will stutter a bit and the sound will as well. Nothing seriously bad, I've run into certain parts of Shadowgun that will have similar behavoir.
Not 100% but doesn't make the game unplayable for me. I'd suggest check to see if you have any background processes that are slowing things down for you. Maybe a bad app somewhere is ruining your 3d gaming experience. Also, game might not be fully optimized for us yet so might be a good idea to get in touch with the developer and let him know.
I won't be able to check dungeon defenders second wave today because my internet and 3g coverage is spotty right now at my hotel. And the extra content will take forever to download.
Hope this post helps a bit.
Ok so after about a month of running unrooted stock I have just installed aokp + Franco kernel and this seems to have a positive impact on the gaming performance. Running Fred runs quite a lot smoother now. But I haven't tried dungeon defenders yet. Will probably post results again when I have the time, but still its enlightening to know and let the community know that the custom roms and kernels not only benefits in synthetic benchmarks like quadrant but also in real-world application performance.

had a look and theres no similar thread.
temple run finally released on google play. i couldnt find it at 1st but did a google search and it gave a play store link.
quite good on GS2 feels a bit more hands on compared to iphone/ipod touch as our far more superior screen as it handles and displays the game so well, getting used to it on a bigger screen, smooth and responsive, happy days its here for android
Tapped GS2
works well on Hydrog3n ICS. no problems with responsiveness and/or extra presure to the screen. and it's as smooth as it gets. strange at first, but after few runs becomes quite addictive.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imangi.templerun
Awesome game! Being waiting for this since a long time
Things like this make my sleep hours shorter and shorter
Thanks for the heads up
ok so im officially addicted and just noticed its battery hungry lol.
Tapped GS2
and so on?
google play force close when trying to install
Finally! the darn thing is out!
Just tested it on my phone - it is excellent!
Currently running GalnetMIUI ICS.
Wow. This game is addictive and runs great on my Galaxy S2 GT-9100 Stock ICS 4.0.3. Although its battery hungry, but which game isn't?
Runs silky smooth. No crashes so far. No Lag.
Didn't even know about this game, until this thread. Thanks!
Isn't this just like Running Fred?
Running Fred is for high end devices only like our sgs2. Temple run supports mid range(galaxy ace for example at full speed) and some entry level devices, and is a bit easier than running fred. Running fred is just straight while temple run has turns.
Finally this is out!! been waiting for this ever since i got my new phone
just got the SGS2 and rooted with ICS 4.0.3
and temple run came out 3 days later!!

Great game but pity about all the crashes it's making my phone have. I'm on CyanogenMod 9 and whilst at first, everything was running smoothly, it often just freezes whilst in the middle of a game.
Also, it drains battery really fast. That being said, this is still version 1.0, so hopefully they'll fix up these things as it's annoying losing all your progress every time it crashes.
cm9 + temple run
i was running cm9 and also lost my data multiple times and the game kept freezing, im now on a stipped back stock lp7 and it runs perfect for me
Yeah, ge crashes in cm9 but runs prefectly on a stock samsung ROM.

So I have had my gs3 I747 for a week now, I previously owned a galaxy s 2 I777. and I am finding that whenever I run a game like nova 3 or asphalt 7 or any other hi Rendering games I have really bad frame rate problems. I thought for sure that the adreno 225 whould at least run those games so I am switching to a I 9300. Has anyone else had these problems.

Im on CM10...
The problems with games are
Asphalt 7 goes slow it isnt smooth it's runs faster on my old ipod touch 4g.. so fail
Real Racing 2 have problems on graphics cut-cars lag slow...
GTA III it's a bit slow just a little bit it stutters some times but it's very good
the only game that works perfect it's shadowgun 0 lag smooth perfect
Riptide also on maximum graphics it's just perfect too so I dont understand why gameloft games have those problems.

Ditto that. Shadowgun & Riptide are smooth as butter here too, on CM10, but Nova3 chugs.
I tried giving KToon's 2.1GHz overclocked kernel a try just for kicks, but no change.
Anyone still on Touchwiz have a problem with Nova3 (or other gameloft game) lag?
I think those games just need an update for better integration..

Not really, unless you are referring to the apps being updated to "play nice" with JB, in which case we probably shouldn't hold our collective breath. That will be a while.
Asphalt7 runs flawlessly on stock ROM but is hit-or-miss with other TW-based ROMs I've run, and is simply a stutering, hacked up mess on CM10-based ROMs I've tried.
I'm still trying to figure out what the deal is here myself.

All I know is nova 3 ran smooth as silk on my i9100, and choppy and crappy on my i747. Stock, TW, cm10, doesn't matter. Runs like absolute poo when the action gets busy.

And the flipside to that coin is that some games ran like crap on ICS Touchwhiz (Restaurant Story, and some others I'm forgetting), but run like butter on CM10.
Resurrected from the grave.
Sorry XDA Mods stupid I know to bring up such an old thread but seems to me that this problem still exists regardless of how bad ass phones get.
I have a T-Mobile GNote 2 and the GS3 both run games horribly with anything based off of AOSP. CM10, 10.1, 10.1.0 Rc1, AOKP, PA, etc...I am still trying to find answer to this, it is litterally Night and Day difference between TWiz roms and AOSP when comes to FPS in games.
Thanks,
Sam

what kernel were you using on each of these? your signature says you're using phablet mode. i'm having a hard time moving past that.
Lol I just call the note 2 a phablet cause that's what it is to me. Phone plus tablet. Phablet.
Now on topic. I've tried several kernels including stock ones on both devices.

Have you emailed this to the game's developers? I run a ton of games on my S3, all of them high impact, and they all run great, so this has to be an app-specific issue.
Lately I've been playing Asphalt 7, Dead Trigger, ShadowGun, Riptide GP, Ski Safari, Mini Motor Racing, Monsters Ate My Condo, and none of them have lag issues.
I am curious what people feel is the best rom for gaming and speed on an r800at, guess that part doesn't matter as long as its a GSM Rom.
Thoughts and if you can detail why you feel said rom is the best. Again I am looking for best gaming rom, speed and available memory.

[ROM] DiXperia 2 'Everlasting' | Performance. Stability. Experience. | 04.09.2012
I used a lot of GB ROMs but I always return to this.
I believe it's smoother and more stable than others.
Cant believe u open a thread just to ask this Q. Scrolling down my xda app there's a bunch of thread asking the same. Not to mention in the general sect.
But since u new to Gsm i like to point out to ur Q that ALL GB ROM can gme & they hav their own pros/cons. So to know which suited u best, u just gonna hav to try it. Coz we may hav the same phone but our taste & view are totally diff. Cheerio.

Normally I balked at these threads, but okay. I like NXT Lite rom and Doom kernel, though honestly I find all gingerbread roms to be good with gaming performance.
You can check here on explanation of the cpu governors and and i/o schedulers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817, it might help with tuning between performance and battery life. I'm using 'smoothass' and 'bfq' @ 250-1000 and it's very smooth, as far as this old phone goes.
Thank you everyone for the replies. As stated I am new to the GSM xperia play but have been on the CDMA for 18 months. I pretty much stick to my own stock VZ rom but heavilynmodded and debloated. So I am just trying to determine what are some users preferred choice(s) of roms as I have been limited to choices of roms when compared to the GSM model.
I guess I should also ask as I have been on 2.3.3 since pretty much the beginning but with the recent release of JB for the PLAY I would imagine that the xperia games launcher doesn't work as these roms are not built on Sony framework, am I incorrect in this? And also how people rate the gamepads on JB? I pretty much play some of the following
Shadowgun,
asphalt 6, backstab,
modern combat 3. (want to play 4 but its not smooth enough for me to play it emjoyably.)
NFS most wanted. (If you want to add me - ozzmanj1)
Order & chaos
The built in PS1 emulator
Other emus
Bards tale
Dead space
All kemco RPGs
Nova 2.
Sorry for the long list. But if someone sees any games above that don't really play nice with JB can you state below. Thank you

Some ics roms can play them with no trouble apart from mc4 but mc3 works good and so does gta vice city on low graphic settings on ics but as for jb there's touchpad lag in some games lie gta mc3 and a few others shadow gun works but I couldn't get the expansion pack (leftover) to work just kept force closes but some games can run pretty good like fifa 12
But if you want perfect gaming any gingerbread rom
For ics my personal favourite is miui Australia
And jb slimbean or Turbo ui
But these are just my findings and opinions

Thank you. I game a lot (when I have the time) So I would prefer something that would be best with the following features:
Excellent for Gaming
A Rom that has the most available memory.
Is DiXperia and/or NXT2JB / NXT Lite good with these above perks? Again sorry for all the questions its just that now that I have all these choices of ROMs I cannot decide and thought I would pick everyones brain on it.
My vote goes toward jokawild. No titanium backup issues, great on gaming, better wifi strength, xperia stock look. Best of all its based on stock gingerbread.
Hello guys!
So, not long ago I started "modding" my Defy. Things were not that new to me, since I used to "mod" my Xperia Mini Pro).
The main point is, Xperia Mini Pro had a Game oriented Rom named Gingergames, so my question is, if is there anything similar to that for the Defy!
I took a few searches but could not find any so far.
For the record, I tried Quarx 4.2.2 rom, but it doesn't do good at games even though its looks are fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
some states that stock rom is good for gaming..

This is actually true, but I was hoping for a rom with especifical game optimization.
Well, after looking the internet up and reading a lot, I came to the conclusion that White Rabbit Next Gen ROM would have a good performance on gaming since it was deemed as very light, fast and reliable and the final fact is that my Defy is running all 3D games I have tried so far without barely any lags or slowdowns. I have tried Asphalt 7 and Contract Killer 2, and both run just smooth.
So, in case anyone else is wondering, I am not sure if White Rabbit Next Gen is the BEST Rom for gaming, but I can assure it is a pretty good one!
Well, I'm on Quarx's cm10 20130326 ROM and gaming is buttery smooth. I have been playing FIFA 12 and Need For Speed Most Wanted with no lags. I still wanna try GTA III and see if passes the test. However, I had to over clock. Here are my settings
300/16
