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.

hi I have searched but to no success, I need the best Rom for gaiming and oc kernel I mean which is going to give me best performance and fps on games like backstab which lag abit. cola Rom looks perfect but it's only for cdma :-( so can someone who's played abit with roms on there play give me some advice please as I have finally gone and unlocked my bootloader thanks in advance and any help will be appreciated
The best for gaming is stock rom + custom kernel (like eg. DoomKernel) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176502)
For me it works on every game without lags (OC to 1.21 gHz)

thanks for reply, you have no lag on any game just by upping cpu by 200mhz ? is your stock se Rom bloat free ? I was thinking maybe oc by atleast 1.4 to really notice improvements because backstab lags quite abit in some places
with this kernel u got root and u can (using Titanium Backup) delete all bloatware from SE.
U can OC to max 2 gHz but i think it drain to much battery and i dont need more than 1.21 gHz, but if i find a game with lugs i change it.
doom kernel here I come
Best Gaming Rom + Kernel
Best Gaming rom is:
NXT Gaming 1.2
Its amazing All the tweaks in it together make it so fast i dont even use oc unless im like playing MC4(Yea,mc4,I can play mc4,The game that lagged so much on the xperia play,I can play it at minimal 30 Fps,i even get 50 somtimes and in cutscenes i get around 60)
I also use Lupus GB,It is truly amazing,I used to use Doomkernal because of its 1.8Ghz Oc capability but Lupus is truly faster,I got on average 30 FPs with Lupus @ 1.2 Ghz vs Doomkernal at 1.2 Ghz i got on average 26
I mesured all this with an app in the appstore called FPS Meter
Hope this helped!
I am playing around with some other OC/UV apps other than SetCPU and was wondering, for those who do OC /UV /UC, what app do you prefer?
ive tried out (so far)
SetCPU
Voltage Control Extreme
AnTuTu CPU Master Pro
CPU Control Pro
ROM Toolbox Pro

Is there a way to make a shortcut to the performance settings, under settings?
i tried to make an action shortcut but haven't been able to. I myself don't play with UV often. If i could create a faster way to access the performance settings i would prob use it.

I've had my A100 for a few weeks, up to now I've used AnTuTu CPU Master Pro to overclock and undervolt, hasn't failed me yet, originally used my ROMs built in settings but that began to be a bit tedious, constantly having to dig through my settings for it got a bit old, a convenient shortcut to the performance settings would be just dandy.

The only thing i find built in ROM performance settings lack is voltage control, generally liking my overclock/undervolt, performance is nice, generally pretty stable up to now.

I found overclocking the GPU helps a lot more. There is a kernel for jellybean rom (a.k.a. CM10) and may work for ICS and the GPU overclock helps a lot. Use built in CM over clocker @ 1.5 GHz and GPU @ <400 MHz or whatever speed the kernel builder put it at. The original GPU clock speed was around 350 MHz or something so that is a substantial boost in terms of speed. Other then some heating when playing games no problems and perfectly stable. Battery doesn't seem to drop a bit maybe 1 or 2% faster.

Wanna get real crazy push it to 430 GPU and 1.7 cpu. Quite an interesting ride. The kernels are all compatible with ICS or jb, just don't get the ui acceleration in ICS.

He did one that high? I built that one myself lol.
Good call pulling them down if he did though, not all devices can handle it. The old board did, the replacement didn't take it so well.

hello, i use setcpu pro. set on boot 1.0ghz. uv is on test. i read many pages, the result is all -100 the last three cpu steps -75 -50 -25. on hd gaming (wild blood, nfs undercover...) set 1,2ghz. 800mhz is more better for the battery and all running smooth. (many times with livewallpaper). for music when i going to the city ... my system: a101 - flexreaper rev2, ezterry kernel (ezT20), apex launcher.
setcpu can not ov the GPU. which programm can do this?

Your English is not too bad my new friend. Thank you for your feedback. I like to find out what programs and settings users are using on their A100s. Helps me find different options to try on my tablet.
I love SetCPU and have PRO version as well, but it was causing bad SOD problems on my tablet. I am now currently testing others.

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
i have a xperia arc and i have installed lupus kernel on it but in only allows me to overclock to 1.6ghz and i also tried arc knight kernel but it also only allow me to overclock to 1.6 ghz . how i can i overclock to 2ghz using one of these kernels i am using xperia ultimate hd tom
P.S - i have tried doomkernel and it allows me to overclock upto 2ghz but it is not working with internal memory increase mod , so please don't recommend it

Oh man , I really wouldn't do this! You got a 1.4ghz phone and oc to 1.6 is fully okay.
I warned you , you will be responsible when your phone doesn't want to start no more anyday.
UHD Rom hasn't so much increases than the Stock Rom , it got only small increases.
Try a Cyanogenmod 9 Rom , they are fast , and the batterylife is only WOAH!
CM9 is only avalible for unlocked bootloader.

Oh okay then this overclocking isn't soooo hard
Use CM9 , cause Arc/S handle Ice Cream Sandwich best.
CM10 is good too , but after 4-5 days it hangs over a gain!
Overclocking does not give you any noticeable performance boost, don't count on it. Better look, what is causing the lag in your phone.

ICS is very very very bad for gaming. Use Gingerbread, works best for games. JB might also do the deal, but still GB has best performance.

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.
