So...this may seem a noobish question...but i don't think it is so.
Today I made an experiment, a test between some devices to see how they played good 3D games. I chose for it:
1: Sony xperia arc s, with stock ICS rom and kernel.
2: Samsung galaxy s 2, with stock ICS rom and kernel.
3: Samsung old galaxy tab p1000 7inches (single core 1ghz cpu and 512mb Ram), with Aokp rom and kernel.
And I tried to run:
A: Temple run.
B: Babel rising 3d.
C: Castle master 3d.
And what I got???
Both Samsung devices could play every game of the 3 perfectly.
ARC S MANAGED TO PLAY ONLY TEMPLE RUN. The other two games started then freezed. And freezed the phone till I had to remove battery.
Try by yourself, installing and running castle master 3d from play(free game).
So...WTF?????? Is this a low Ram problem??? Why the hell the arc s, with a better hardware than the old galaxy tab, can't play quite heavy 3d games????
I always thought this was a low ram issue, back on gingerbread I could run GTA 3 perfectly, on ICS however it starts then freezes.

Ok, I thought that too, but so...why could I play every game in the market with my old galaxy tab that has got only 512 mb ram and is running Ics???

Using ICS on Arc/S is not good for gaming...
-Game can force close
-Crash
-Freeze (every 2mins)
-Rarely reboot the phone

ok, i saw it by myself, but why?? the system in arc s ics cannot free enough ram to play a game that runs smooth on other older devices?? can we do something more than just downgrading to gingerbread?? or the answer is that we have a crappy phone and we should take it as ****ty as it is?

Never. I'll never install the rom of a copycat. the worst rom in the forum. However, I tried each other rom and the problem persists. So it must be a sony base problem.

Maybe it is because the system takes up more ram on the arc s than on the galaxy tab, so there is less available for the user. I think there is an app or something that can make your phone use some of the SD card as ram, That could help?

Yeah that's it! But never mind because....
I found a solution!
Now my 3d game I wanted to run was GTA 3. Whenever I tried, it would play for around 30 secs and then finish. I thought it was a ram issue, but I tried over clocking, now I never thought it would make a difference as because I'm on stock kernel it cannot go past the already reachable 1400, but I set the minimum from around 200 to around 1300 and the maximum to 1400, and now it can run GTA 3! Whenever I'm not playing I'll just change it back.

If it makes you feeel any better, mine is always between 300 and 315, even from boot it is at least 250 and soon ramps up as all my apps are loaded
Oh thanks for the info man. I guess its just normal then . But are you feeling a little lag in that condition of ram?
Sent from my BioWonder using xda premium
What ROM are you using? Maybe you can try another ROM, or maybe you can try to disable some apps's background processes, it may help a little bit
i usually use go powermaster to know what app are runnig in background, i sometimes i uninstall, usually maps, facebook, email, that kind of stuffs are always runing and wasting ram
you can try to install v6supercharge and use the script to clear ram, time by time...
I'm using indroid remics when I feel the lag, now I'm using biohazard it's smoother though
I already installed v6 supercharger on the indroid but no result still laggy

lags are just normal, since its android. its a bit complicated but here http://www.appleinsider.com/article...ag_occurs_more_often_in_android_than_ios.html
with v6 supercharger you have less ram I guess, because it holds launcher always in ram, so restarts are disabled, and it makes multitasking better. I dont know what exactly is meant by "better multitasking" but I guess it keeps apps longer in ram, so they dont need to re load. but i'm not sure about it.
maybe you can try a lighter launcher like launcherpro (it needs 9-15mb ram).

Yes sometimes, it really annoys the pants off me when i'm in a hurry but I came to SGW from a Nokia N95 8Gb which was stuffed to the point of bursting (not literally) with software - so the lag on my droid is still far less than I had got used to.
From a fresh flash of a new ROM it amazes me how 225 - 250mb is all thats needed, but all the apps I install are pretty much essential to me in one way or another (otherwise i'd have a dumb phone instead ) so I just put up with it, and save toward a new droid with RAM measured in Gig not Meg :fingers-crossed:
My phone usually use up to 210mb of ram and that's all, sometimes 180mb

Does anyone know of any fix for launcher restarting ? I am on stock ics and have not long done a fresh install of Rom using pc companion. It is rooted with bootloader unlocked using testpoint and I have removed some system apps bloatware using list from xda. I don't want to install a third party launcher or even a launcher from another xperia phone just want to know if there's a fix to stop launcher from restarting. It happens after leaving an app all the icons and launcher need to refresh and its really annoying. I have latest beta of greenify app installed and sefix app installed and have 160mb left on phone memory.

I ran supercharger on stock gingerbread and phone was way faster. I can't say how it was on ICS, because all custom ROMs come pre-rooted.
If you won't miss ICS features, and care about stability and speed, then go for GB.
Or buy a new phone if you have money

If you can afford Nexus 4 then get one - it's a wonderful device and in my opinion you won't need a new nexus or any other phone for years.
But if I were you, I would try some custom ROMs first. They are a lot better than stock. It's free and you will feel like you have a new phone. I was playing with custom ROMs on Arc for over year and decided it's time to move on
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
ICS ROMs require additional tweaking for Supercharge script to work properly due to different services.jar file.
I can't guide you, because I do not have access to such things at the moment.
Ive tried the ics setup it didn't work the fact is this phone can't handle certain apps mainly games so uses CPU when I come out of these apps its taking it'd time booting everything up again just got to face the fact its old and needs replacing.

The smoothest I had on Arc was supercharged gingerbread. No ICS ROM came close to that.
And your problem isn't CPU - it's low RAM.

Well seen as u have zRam enabled u will have less ram. Along with FB which eats RAM and then playing games. Try disable zRam and see if problem persists that way if ram gets low FB will be killed.
But also u should always full wipe before flashing any ROM. Meaning wipe /system /data /cache and /dalvik-cache.
Hm I thought that zRam enlarges Ram memory, now I have disabled it and will try it that way,i have also moved Facebook back again to phone memory.

Today I moved the app to the SD card it seems that the lag in the launcher is less but still in games there's still lag,so tomorrow I'll flash the rom again by wiping everything to see if the problem still exists.And I have another question does really the adreno booster reduces gaming experience and it only helps in benchmark tests?

Hi guys, I've recently just rooted and unlocked my bootloader not too long ago (approximately 15 minutes ago), but I can't understand why I couldn't flash the custom SSpeed kernel?
This is what happened, I first flashed to the stable 1.96 kernel in case **** happens. Then everything was fine so I proceeded to try flashing the SSpeed kernel V8 using CWM however, after flashing that kernel my screen kept on trying boot up and it eventually just keeps restarting when my Arco S loads to the "SONY" screen.
Did anyone else had this problem before? Mind sharing your solutions or guidance on what exactly should I do?
