[?] ICS rom that works good with games? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says, I'm looking for a ICS rom for our Desire which works good enough for games.
I have tried many of the ICS roms and on every rom there was a problem with almost every game.
Temple Run doesnt respond to my swipes correctly and it often automaticly turn left and dies.
Tap Tap Revenge 4 doesnt recognise the phone resolution and therefor the size of the game is incorrect, menu too big and the screen while playing is very small.
Angry Birds doesnt respond to my touch. It responds to regular buttons like the return button but when i touch the screen nothing happens.
I want to have a ICS rom that works with atleast these 3 games cuz they are my favorite. If there is a ICS rom that works with one of these games then please tell me so that I can check it up.
I want to have a ICS rom cuz ive seen the big smoothness in these roms and in the games and it beats the hell out of every other rom that I have encountered
Thank you in Advance

I'm using COS ICS rom, and I've suffered your same problems with Angry Birds many times (don't know about the other games, as I don't have them).
All the times, the problems went away if I started the game just after rebooting. The problems seem to be related to something I used before playing, or perhaps with degradation after some hours of use...
Try it...

Unfortunately, some of these apps cannot be used until the developers update the app.
Temple Run- It's a problem with the touchscreen and it does not really run well with ICS. Some official ICS for certain phones (such as Xperia S) has the same problem
Tap Tap- It is not compatible with Android 3.0 and above. You have to wait for an update from Tapulous. However, seeing that the app has not been updated for more than 6 months already, it's likely that they abandoned it for tap tap 5.
Angry Birds- I can actually play it on Sanvold ICS perfectly, albeit with slight lags. So I don't know why it doesn't respond to your touches.
Hope this helps.

I have seen today that temple run has gotten a update that according to the logs fixed many problems with ics. Maybe it fixed the swipe bug?
I didnt know a tap tap 5 is coming. Is it coming to android too? Im very addicted to tap tap and i play it alot ever since the tiesto week. One of the song that came in tiesto week was my favorite and many more good songs have come so i play it now more than ever
And ill try sandvolts rom and will cross my fingers hoping that all my other games work as well as angry birds should work.
Hope also the update that has come has fixed the swipe/autodeath bug.
Edit: Aw, sandvolts ics beta doesnt work with usb tether!
I really need usb tether cuz without it i cant have internet on my pc.

I'm using Sandvold's ICS Beta Rom 0.10.1. Seems okay for games so far. And some games you've got no choice but to wait for the developer to sort out the bugs the game has with ICS.

sandvolds ics beta 0.10 is best. i have played even mass effect without any lags or freezes.

Temple run update do fix the swipe bugs. However, its still rather unresponsive sometimes. However I'm sure it would be fixed in the near future.
According to Tapulous, they are working on Tap Tap 5, hence they haven't be updating Tap Tap 4, I don't know if it will come to android or not though. They only assured iOS. Although hopefully it will come to Android, I missed playing it ever since I switched to ICS.
And for sandvold ICS, although usb tether don't work yet, why not just use personal hotspot? It does the same as usb tether.

Confirming that the following games work fine with Nikez Lente 1.0.1a5 ICS ROM:
-Temple Run
-Angry Birds
-Basketball Shoot
-Cut the rope
-Fruit Ninja
There is a known bug that for some cases there is no sound in Temple Run, dev is working on it.

BCM von dk_zero-cool. I'm running RC3.6U0 it has the same new adreno-libs as sandvolds port and at least angrybirds and templerun a working very well, touchpad is working, too. it really sad that the phone hasn't a real multitouchsensor.

Oh very nice, i dont care so much about the sound just want the game to work. Thanks aloot for tge info. I will definitly try it out.

Multitouch issue

How many people are having this issue?
Ive had it since purchase and im on 4.0.2 now (manually updated) and still having issues.
I have no idea if google or samsung are aware of this but a quick search on google brings up loads of articles about it.
If you not sure download a multi touch test app from the market and follow as they do on the video.
While in landscape mode with the power button at the top the right hand side of the screen will being temperamental which you try to have more than one point on touch on the screen.
I noticed this issue playing heavy gunner today

I get it playing anything which requires multi touch. Causes modern combat 3 to be un-playable.
Can be fixed sometime by turning screen off and on.

oke this is a copy of my thread here :Gnex Game thread
"Oke.
just to point this out and help a couple of people.
the current state of gaming on the Gnex is..rater terrible.
Allot of game's camp with the multitouch error/glitch/compatibility.
Yes multitouch doesnt work how it should work.
The cause of this might be the SB(software buttons)
and an API that needs to be implemented to the game to hide the SB.
"
as this might be actually the issue.. that apps dont have the right API/support for the Gnex.
all the linkts and video's you posted are apps that arent native and dont support the GNex at all.
yes they run.but as soon as you get close to the SB you get issue's.
and there is the problem.
the apps need to include the hide SB api that are in the native gnex apps.
there is your problem.
not all apps are affected by this issue due to apps being programmed differently.
(different API level or coding)
as soons as GTA3 has gnex support,than we can see if i was right or you were.

Why would turning screen off and back on fix it for a while?
I hope it is easily fixed but i hope its in android source rather than apps as thats alot of incompatible apps.
Whew. Just tested. Multitouch is perfect!

my multitouch issue only happens with heavy gunners. Once I play heavy gunners, I can see the multitouch issue.
I don't have this issue when playing shadowgun or deadspace.
The first time I tried the multitouch issue it appeared, but after that I have tried a lot of times and is impossible to reproduce the error againg. Eitherway, I have played a lot of times to Modern Combat 2 and I have never had any kind of problem with the multitouch.
BTW, when I achieved reproducing the error, it was just in the typical position of the onscreen controls for games and emulators and just in the left side of the screen if I look it in portrait mode, was strange, in the right side it worked fine, but in the left side not
Mine happens just like in the video. Works perfectly fine until I play a game like heavy gunner, then I get issues. Turn the screen off then back on and everything works again.
edit: Actually, toggling the screen off and back on during the game seems to fix multitouch in-game too
I have the same issue in GTA3 and N64oid.. I hope it will work in updated versions of these apps.
this is what happen to me:
If i'm chargin the phone multitouch goes crazy and doesn't work,litteraly impossible to use, if i unplug the power cord, put the screen off and back on everithing goes back to normal, since i' testing the multitouch with antutu so i'm sure of this bug,
So if only battery powered multitouch ok!
With power cord plugged in multitouch not ok!
let me know what do you think.

Shadowgun Tegra3 -> Explosion crashes?

Has anyone else played Shadowgun on their HTC One X yet using the new 1.28 update? I've only just now played the game but it crashes every time I shoot a red barrel or a turret. I think an explosion is supposed to happen, but I just crash instead.
I have 1.26 and its the same i think its a bug in game and i hope they are gonna fix it soon.
I had the same on my 1.26. I'm awaiting a replacement, will report back when I recieve it.
Just hit the search now button in software info and you should get it in no time
Hum, strange, I just tried it today and no issues. Using Coredroid 1.0 with it's boot.img flashed.
using leedroid 3.0 and facing no issues. just minor lags in between. plus my x is not getting hot like before !!!
just one thing at when the screen appears for loading of level 2 the app crashes and when i restart the app i start with the last stage of lvl 1!!!!
I have the same issue. Emailed MadFinger and they just suggested a reboot of my phone and turn off Developer options in Settings.
Not had chance to see if that helps yet.
Device also gets very hot when i play the game.
If you just look at the google play its there a new version 1.1.2 and it says fixed Htc One X issues

Shadowgun THD v1.1.2
Hi
I've got the 1.29 Rom (ARHD) and Shadowgun THD 1.1.2 and it works pretty fine.
The crash, when shooting at a red barrel, was an error of the Game (v 1.1.0 and below).
So just update your Game and it should work
Just update the game it will works.

To update to ICS or stay at GB, the question is now :)

Hello.
I need your opinions.
I preffer something stable and smooth, and it's GB for me, I flashed ICS, and browsing on youtube is not so well. I need flash content, havent test it with games.
Lol.
Update. Or try ICS custom ROM's
Arc S, Updated here, very pleased. Performance is about the same, or better in other areas.
I rooted and removed some of the included crud, switched to Go Launcher and limited my background apps to 4, and it's running very nicely.
I think most of the problems and gripes are from the less powerful Arc Lt15i owners running hacked roms.

Exactly the same here but with stock launcher And it's been really good so far.

Stock launcher worked well (perhaps better than Go Launcher), but I miss the Go Launcher widgets and can't live without them.
Unlocked my bootloader using the testpoint method, and tried some of the custom ICS roms. My phone now feels much, much faster than it did even on GB. It absolutely flies.
Surprised to hear that stock ICS is laggy. Seems to me that if there was ever a good reason to unlock your bootloader, ICS is that reason.
I'm on locked boot loader and have upgraded. Remember for anyone upgrading using flashtool, connect to Sony update service and REPAIR, I flashed last night and I am pretty impressed. I don't know what everyone is moaning about. You even have root already. One thing to do as well is download Apex Launcher which is only available for ICS so go and check out play store and see three phone fly!!

You need to download adobe flash player 11 from the Android market in order to used the flash.

I started a similar thread but got closed.
I to was wondering about staying on gb or go with ics, in the end my techie nerd took over and switched to ics, can't say it has any real benefits apart from the show of factor that my arc has got ics.
I was very sceptical because of the negatives that people had,i have not had these issues even when playing games like temple run or angry birds etc...
The only thing I miss is the amount of mods, themes available,i know in time they will come but my techie geek wants them now.
So in short yes upgrade and enjoyB-)

So, I'm still using GB on my Arc S, and planning to flash ICS, there are two major bugs I've collected from posts on the forum that concerns me:
1. Low fps video recording
Is this only for 720p video or also for lower resolution recording?
2. Games not working smoothly,
Is this only for HD Games, or do games like Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds also have problems?
Been to ICS for less than 24 hours,got back to GB,I owned lt15i,maybe that is the main reason why is it lagging in some parts,but, there is no real big thing in ICS Arc to really shout about.
If i am upgrading,I will probably wait a month or two after it's official launch for my model,for the sake getting everything else easily,because to get recovery for ics on lt15i is real pain right now, in my opinion at least.Depending on which arc you owned,I really think that it will make a difference if I actually owned lt18i.For lt15i,it is a strict no,no for me right now.

[Q] ICS build .562 Temple run and other issues

First of all my Xperia Arc S is not unlock or rooted, its completely stock no modifications made upgraded thru Sony PC Companion.
anyone experience some issues on temple run when you swipe to side to side sometimes the character jumps or slides instead of turning left or right?
and another issue for me is xperia home launcher it doesnt save my settings to arrange my drawer in alphabetical order it always return to own order after opening some apps like playstore?
any solution guys?
need your help badly..
hmm,i think i read somewhere that some games arent fully compatible with ics and there will be problems with the touch screen.
yea my arc s is GB and temple run is running smooth. Then after i get ICS its not recognizing touch properly
It's appears when i update wif ics 4.0
When I downgraded this problems havn't appear.
This is a known issue with Temple Run and ICS on some devices including ours. Plenty of comments on this on Google Play so let's hope they fix it soon.
Congratulations, you are the 100th person to ask this!
It is an ICS bug, happens in most of the games. Sony's fault.
I am not happy with Sony's ICS. I actually run Achotjan's SEMC Debrand Engine and it's awesome. I recommended it.
Downgrade to GB is the best solution for this case!
I think so
Temple run is not fully compatible with the ICS.

[Q] CyanogenMod 10.1 Game issues/problems

Hello there, I was wondering if anybody has had any issues with first person games on the new Cyanogenmod Version 10.1-20130203-unofficial-d710? The android version is 4.2.1.
So my games load up fine from the market, however when I open them and start playing them I seem to loose control with my character. For instance on both games, COD black ops zombies, I have limited control over my character, it freezes/lags during gameplay... I can't fully play the game, this is the same for the amazing spiderman game. If anybody has an idea about this I'd like to hear it. Thanks

Try updating to 2/15 or 2/18 if you don't mind doing a full wipe. These two builds are very stable and should have no issues with games
OK well thanks for your prompt reply. The fed 18 version has a lot of problems; for instance it does not allow you to do screen rotation. Still the same issues with games. Feb 15 runs very smoothly, is very fast. however it did not solve my game problems as well. What happens is the screen moves all over the place. I know that I lose control of the buttons. My hunch is this this is a interface issue between the CyanogenMod launcher and the games themselves. If you are experiencing any issues with 3d games such as call of duty and GTA 3 I like to know..

Hmm, ok that's good to hear. Yes I was referring Call of Duty Black ops Zombies. I want to check and see what you did to install the rom. Did you use the El29 Rom to install it use odin one click? Does your rom when it boost up say GT I9100... Ok so I used the video from qbking to install the rom, the only thing that he did differently than me was that he used mobile odin. So your not having any control issues huh... Any ways, I'd appreciate to know how you downloaded the file. So far everything runs smoothy except for gameplay where I loose control of my character, experience freezing/lags/shuttering so I'm really trying to this annoying problem out of my way.
Thanks for you help
~rockingfreely
When i first boot up, it just says galaxy s II. Also..i did one click to el29 through odin. I downloaded an earlier build on my computer. Then i just downloaded each new build on my phone. Hope this helps and i hope you get this problem worked out soon. Let me know if you need any more help
