LT15i Custom kernels performance

Hi, first at all i want to say that i tested nearly every rom & kernel combinations and still i'm not satisfied with the performance. Overall device is performing better (i'm running @1,4GHz - Stock Plus & DoomKernels 15-20) and in 3D heavy games framerate is higher for sure, but there's a lot of stuttering and sometimes games are unplayable (for example Backstab and Asphalt 6 with annoying one sec stuttering). On stock kernel game (Backstab) is running without any performance issues (only few dropped frames when there's a high draw distance) and the device itself is running "only" at 1GHz. Now something about DoomKernel - interface is not running smoothly (with simple 3D live wallpaper but 2d is ok) and i can give you another gaming example with MC3 - main menu is running at ~20 fps (and game itself is also stuttering) and on stock kernel/stock plus it's much smoother. So there is any fix for my problem or it's something wrong with my arc or what . Stock kernel by Sony > custom kernels? Something is wrong here... Thanks in advance and pardon about my english .

try playing on performance governor

I played with governors with no result ;(

okay, now i'm gonna "stress test" every single governor available in kernel ; d

Bump!
I've added a video :<

Have you tried Stockplus Kernel? It's based on DoomKernel but has a lot of changes and tweaks. Some people report better results with it when compared to DoomKernel.

Performance:
the UI is a lot more responsive now overall feel of speed is much enhanced
in games:
ondemand governor is improved it now ramps to full dual core 1400mhz on screen unlock, its also much more aggressive in launcher and certain games
interactive governor seems even more aggressive with reduced clock change latency but it still get stucks sometimes in dual core or even single core mode
performance governor still locks to 1.4ghz dual core only
Ripetide, shadowgun and zen pinball much improved n stable performance on the stock governor
Sonic 4eII still very bad dips on stock governor and minfrees
Nova 3 still very bad frame rates without some tweaking
the performance improvements seems on the CPU side and not the GPU
i tested games non stop even locked the clocks at 1.2 the device never got HOT, hoping the temps and over heat problems are improved

now that the leaked Rom has settled I can give better feedback on performance base 2.05.405.2
its excellent news for stock users first! the stock governor has been completely fixed now it properly uses t3 in games
the Rom us completely stock, so I didn't touch anything n been using it as is
all games even sonic r playing very well without touching the governor no sharp dips anymore
yes sonic frame rate is not great to begin with but the governor related issue us gone, I even say its a little better than before withy tricks so definitely we have performance boost
heat issue are gone too the device gets warm but no longer you feel on the screen
some broken games r still broken like temple run stuttering and nova but I rally blame the games I see no faults on the CPU governor
all in all an excellent much needed update, only sense launcher still has smoothness issue, but the new ultra Rosie is running great, we still have the hiccup on drawer opening however
I love how the CPU ramps to full speed on screen unlock and how smooth the folders open
they fixed many other things like the gallery scrolling 60fps on the main thumbnails view
also the weather app is now 60fps
great job HTC wish your ego let's u dump the 3d widgets

oh yeah (did you expect any different?)

3D widgets are good for me. They look better, and they doesn't slow down the phone for me.

[TUT] MIUI v4 for every day usage

Hello WFS users!
As you all know, user Henry_01 relased MIUI v4 recently. It is a very nice rom, but it have some bugs like music player won't load mp3 files, deep sleep not working, and rom is little slow. BUT, in this tutorial I will show you how to fix these bugs without making some changes in code.
First, I would like to say thanks to Henry and wfsdev team for porting amazing MIUI v4 to WFS!
How to get my music player to load mp3 files?
Well, when I installed this rom I have noticed that music player won't load mp3 files. Bcos of that I went back to CM7, but that was a big mistake.
All that I and every one of you need to do is to download music player with build in decoding. TTPod is great music player and it is not force closing like one user said. It is working like a charm and you can listen to music.
Okay, one big bug solved
How to get deep sleep to work?
Without deep sleep working your battery life will be poor, bcos cpu will use 245 or 120 MHz of power all the time. How to get it to work? Well, it may sound stupid, but for me it worked disabling auto rotation in display settings. If that doesn't work than put your phone in airplane mode and enable wifi.
How to get better performance?
Overclock cpu to 806 MHz and select performance governor. Then download ram manager and activate balance option. Your performance will now be better.
Why my camera isn't working?
If you get message like 'Can't connect to camera' or something like that just reboot your phone.
Some more tweaks
Here are some more standard ICS tweaks.
If you don't want to get apps force closing go to Settings - Developer options - Background process limit - At most 4 processes. You will have to do this after every reboot.
To make more internal storage use data2sd for cm7/cm9. Or use link2sd if you don't have powerfull sd card.
Last row on the screen can't show widgets in full size. To fix that use LCD density modder and change resolution to 140.
If you have and sugestions fell free to tell me, and feel free to press Thanks button

Thanks for letting me know
- Now fixing deep sleep, thanks modpunk for saying how
- Music player is fixed
- Implementing new kernel for better performance
- Maybe fixing location and gps too

Frame drops and weird lag

Hello fellas
I have enjoyed my s4 mini for about 9 months i have played alot of game without lags and so
but since i updated my s4 mini to 4.4.2 i get weird lags ( fifa 14, when i run it suddenly stops running either with fps games) before the update i had seriously no problems, and GTA SA framedrops like s**t before this update i had no problems not even a lag on medium high settings (after some missions i had little bit frame drop problems but is playable)
this issue is driving me crazy like hell
does anyone have any solution??
i wish you a nice day fellas
friendly regards:good:

Guys
I did a hard reset but it didnt solve the problem unfortunately
It was a waste of time and lost some important stuff
However is there anyone who can help me with this performance/what ever lag

My gf is having the same problem. I think I'm going to install a custom ROM on her S4 mini and see if the problems are gone.

I've always had lag problems with this device. It's annoying that it lags in games that run perfectly fine in phones with lower specs. Especially 2d games like zombie tsunami, impossible game and so on.
I think the problem is very poor optimization; If an higher clock frequency is forced, games run fine. atm I'm on XXUBNB3 firmware (4.2.2), arco's kernel because of the battery problem, and I set trickster mod app to apply at boot these kernel settings:
ondemand (stock governor)
down_differential 13
sampling_down_factor 10
up treshold 42
other values all stock
It MAY help seeder app too. Games STILL stutter sometimes, but WAY less than before. You can try these settings with stock kernel too... Of course root is still needed.
Battery consumption will be higher, but I'm still able to reach 4 hours of screen on (even 6 w/out data, wifi only)

Gaming performance on CM13

So i've cm13 and been trying out some games like Vain Glory (which is awesome by the way) but the thing is it hangs and random frame rate drops i wonder if its the issue with Rom or does anybody has any idea like kernel tweaks etc to improve performance of modern games .Also i found GPU over clock option in NUI kernel is that really a good idea ?i mean does it work and even if it does how will be the heating scenario ?
