Hey everyone. I'm trying to choose a new rom to switch to as calk seems to be out of the game. I would really like to know everyone's opinion on which Rom provides the best gaming performance. If you make a suggestion please say whether it is an ics or gb Rom. Also feel free to list benchmark results or avg fps in games. I will be testing myself I'm sure and I will update this post with results in the future.

I myself would recommend you to stay in a GB ROM they are much muuuch more stable with games that ICS I am not ROM specific but if I feel like in a trip or like a gamer I always go for GB my games are much more stable
Ex. N.O.V.A. 3 just works 1 of 3 times I open it
Modern Combat 3 the same
Front line Commando doesn't even work etc

Blazer rom works wonders for every game I've thrown at it with great battery life also.

calkulin l29 or a stock like rom ics
With ICS roms, I had plenty of issues with games. I've been using Calks EL29 and everything has been working well.
Ive never had an issue on mijjhs goodness rom, but I pretty much only use emulators for gaming (lots of fpse)... I get surprisingly good battery life while playing as well...

Reloaded? I don't think anything is lighter and faster. If u have a thing for sense id go with classic.

Reloaded is what I was thinking. I play games not meant for the evo like king of fighters android and mass effect infiltrator.

I wasn't hoping for amazing batterylife. And there are always governors like smartass and power saver.

That is true. But any modern sense roms that I used to use when I had my EVO just didn't offer performance or battery life. I love sense but performance and battery life just weren't there. Cm7 always played everything well for me and good battery life though

That is true. With new governors like Brazilian wax and wheatley in mason kernel you have even more options for speed vs battery life. This setup of Mason+reloaded+vipermod is gonna get u the best bettery life and performance. I've flashed almost everything and highly doubt it'll get better.
You can get good battery life gaming on your EVO. You pretty much have only two options to choose from:
1. AOSP rom and use wheatly governor
2. Senseless 1.0 rom (Alter is the best) underworld kernel
Don't forget to use chainfire3D app, and try not to overclock unless you need the performance boost.
Just in case anyone was wondering I tried out all the sugestions . But be live it or not team dirts cm9 ran games the best. I was running gta 3 on medium setting smoothly.

Is it better to play games with GB roms, or ICS roms? If possible, state the rom
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
IMO if u like GB then use the baseband ver. XXLM8 its smooth but if you like ICS then use CM9 by arco..
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app
Personally, i tried CM9 and GB and there is really a huge difference in gaming... CM9 is really not that excellent in terms of gaming, but how is the BETA version?

I think the most stable rom for gaming is still the gb because ics for our device is just released and still take time for other games to adapt to our ics based.
Sorry if i'm wrong just saying my opinion

I'm not a pro gamer, but imho CM9 works much better with games than stock GB ROM (less lag, more fluid gaming experience).

Lol, that's probably a good point!
What is the disadvantages of CM9 ??
Camera quality isn't as good and slower to take photos, interface is a bit laggier than a stripped down stock gingerbread, battery drain can be worse depending on customisations and tweaks, some apps run slower/graphics can be jerkier/Mobo player is buggy (an ICS issue)
Advantages are AOSP interface, higher app compatibility, ability to install application data to the SD card and many more

I think the battery is quite good. Because mine can hold even almost 1 day. You should wait for 3 - 4 cycle charge before you can complaint about the battery issue If you just flashed rom. About the other I can say much because I don't use gb rom very much.
But for me cm9 is good fast smooth and stable for me

You should at least try using some GB roms before coming to a conclusion
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
I think the strength of cm9 is in its ability to hold large amount of Apps without lagging like stock does.
The one and only thing I can think of is the fact that there are too many different choices you do not know which suits you.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
If you want to use GB roms then use RebelROM something like that... simple like GB Stock but more reliable and transparent and it has no complaint.. i use just a month and then join ICS

I used a whole bunch of GB ROMs for the W before eventually settling with CM9 again after thinking it was giving me battery drains since CM9 provided a cleaner and smoother interface also better gaming experience than any of the GB ROMs provided.
GB is alright but compared to ICS and CM9 its not as good if you do alot of gaming since I found even the best GB ROM has more lag than CM9 gaming wise.
Just a poll of who is still using GB and why?

Great battery life and everything works flawlessly. Don't need to do any special tweaking or disabling or vodoo to get good battery life and have a stable phone.

I'm on GB too unnamed rom now.I just wish there were more GB roms out.
I am also. Because it is way smoother than ics. Really the only reason battery wise I got same on ics as gb. But can't wait to get the jb update!

Just switched back to UnNamed for the weekend. When i need to 100% depend on my phone, GB is always there for me and never fails me.
Unforuntely Im a flash addict so i will keep switching roms. But can always depend on good ol' gingerbread
KEEP a Blazer 4.0 backup!

I keep a Blazer 4.1 always ready and load it regularly to update apps then re-backup. By far the most reliable I've had. I'm on venum Fi27 right now. Its the best ICS I've had so far.

better battery life...
I don't know if anyone is picking up on the trends here. But you will notice people basically stating they either use or in some way shape or form revert back to gb to get things done or perform functions that should be trivial. With that in mind it becomes clearer and clearer that samsungs implementation (not Google) of ics is seriously flawed. I can only pray that jb doesn't turn out like ics.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Surprised to see the support for gb. I do live the battery life, but the ui of ics is just too nice.
With that said, is calk's Rom still considered the best gb Rom? I've seen unnamed and phantom mentioned as well.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'm on calks 3.0 and I love this Rom and the battery life.. don't get me wrong, I love ics/jb bells and whistles and the customization but the stability of a gb rom can't be beat until all the bugs are ironed out... but who knows, maybe when ics /jb is really official and there's an officialcustom kernel built, I don't see gb being beat...

On Calkulin GB rom
Only reason still on GB is not sure how to pop up to ICS or Jelly a little confused and looking for a good how to upgrade breakdown tutorial.
I would've stayed on blazer or any gingerbread if YouTube and Songza were usable, no 4G in my area and those apps would just keep loading on 3g. I honestly don't see any difference in battery life with gingerbread and the newer ICS roms, only slight speed difference.

i went to JB/ICS but the download speeds are so much slower for me on them so i stick to GB to tether to my laptop.
Me. just all around more stable and faster to me.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm running blazer 4.1 because the GB data speeds/ping are better than ICS/JB. I can't stand the touchwiz super-scroll and AOSP ICS/JB still has the 4G bug. Once AOSP fixes the 4G bug I will update. I have never had battery problems on any Rom.
What ROM is the most stable and fast ROM she likes extra features and likes touchwiz. She says here phone feels slow and wants it to go faster. Any suggestions I know I could just go flash some roms and test them but she can't go with out her phone to long
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
Feels slow? With 2GBs of RAM there should be literally no slowness whatsoever. I haven't experienced a single bit of lag or stuttering
on either of the stock images. Either her expectations are just too high, she's got a defective device or she's got too much going on. So far as I hear though the AOSP ROMs seem to be a bit faster than stock, but not by much.
I found BlackJelly to be great in those aspects it also has a dark theme so that can help with battery life. (;
I've switched over to AOKP which I also find stable, smoother (more so than Touchwiz), lots of customization, and nothing but android!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If she is keen on having TouchWiz, check out the threads over in android development. Inverted apps can also help improve her battery life. Lastly, custom kernels such as KT747 can aid in battery life and performance.
The phones not slow but the launcher lags big time even when installing nova or apex its weird it just started doing that. Everything else is fast

I'm just going to flash aokp and see if she likes it thanks for the replies
