Bst gaming optimized kernel? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know each kernel works different but they also are optimized for different things. Which kernels are best optimjzed for intense gaming. Such as playing deadtrigger with the tegra3 graphics settings on.

Now this is just me.. the nexus runs fine either way with you try to play, what makes me say this is the no lag in N64roid when playing Zelda.
But for the best way to avoid lag? Most kernels are the same and I don't know much about the kernels.. well the advanced stuff.
But from my understanding Performance plus Overclocking usually 1800* will pretty much avoid the lag, I've played Dead Trigger with full detail and haven't lagged at 1036*.

It lags with glados with me. But nit with regular "high" settings. Also glados lags with most games for me. All the kernels are diff tho. Most are optimized for battery as ppl complain about that the most. So its hard finding the opposite. Im trying ti find one to play the Tegra3 "ultra high" settings without such high lag

Try Franco or Trinity.
I've played on GLaDOS before and games ran fine.. could be ROM related too.

Yea for me it was usually ROM related

Games laggier on 4.0.4

am i the only one experiencing more lag and slowdowns in gaming after the update?
not sure if it's a kernel or rom problem.
Dito.

some stuff are messed up, maybe they are related due to the compatibility.
I get a bit of lag on fruit ninja paid

No issues with Angry birds space or Wind up Knight, haven't tried any others yet.
no lag here, what games? its most likely app compatibility.
I don't really play much and OPs claim is very vague but I quickly installed Temple Run and it runs flawless. Also the not very demanding games like Cut the Rope and Where is my water run without problems so far. I recently bought Shadowgun for my Tablet. Maybe I'll try that later but I have no comparison to 4.0.2/3 with this game.

I used to play temple run on my 4.0.3 very smoothly without any lag. But after upgrading to 4.0.4 bugless beast it has become very choppy and almost unplayable when there are many coins.

actually. what kernel is OP using? are you using a OC'D GPU kernel? switch back to a kernel with stock GPU (384mhz)
i have NO lag on temple run.
Stock GPU is 307mhz.
That said, there is no lag here either.

Aokp milestone 5 games problem

Currently I am using aokp milestone5 with Franco nightly r162. my problem is why I can't play certain games. Exp :mini motor,dungeon hunter or
gameloft games.
I thought custom from should be better performance.
Can someone out there give me advise.

i had that same set up and some games were laggy...i believe its kernel related...probably due to low GPU (not 100%) you can change that if you want...i switched over to popcorn kernel and now im using jame bond...which i believe is also running a low CPU clock (307?) but for some reason both of those have noticeably better performance in terms of games and speed for me
Where to configure?any step?

I wasn't hoping for amazing batterylife. And there are always governors like smartass and power saver.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
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.

Temple run lag

Has anyone noticed lag while playing temple run on cm9 or aokp? When on android revolution hd theres no lag at all. I really like the extra features on cm9 and aokp, but the speed and fluidity of android revolution forces me to come back.

Slowdown
Yes, I have the same problem too.
Is not just lag, is slowdowns during gameplay. And the swipe problems I have it too, but I think is related with the slowdown, it takes more time to react so you loose.
If you have play on an iPhone you can notice the difference, is smoother.
I have friends that can do 10 million points on iPhone but on my Galaxy Nexus they cannot surpass 1.5 million.
I'm running stock.

I have crossed 5.5 million. But I can't go on anymore. I would suggest to try a different kernel and use Interactive governer for your kernel.

1.5 is pretty darn easy to pass on this phone...conversely, I get nowhere near that on my daughter's ipod...so thats not really scientific evidence. It just so happens they are used to one device, rather than another.

[Q] Highest Stable Overclock? (On JB)

Hello, I'm dumping my most amazing phone ever (Dinc) that I've had since the day it came out because Verizon are greedy *******s, and I just ordered a Gnex GSM from the Google Play Store.
When it arrives, I was wondering what I can expect to achieve via an Overclock and have the system still perform rock solid.
Thanks!
subjective. different for everyone and depends on temp, usage, stability of app youre running etc etc. just bump 5% at a time until you crash then drop it down one notch
You also need to disable smart reflex to hit the higher clock speeds without random freezes or crashes. I am running the trinity kernel at 1520 MHz stable with mpu smart reflex disabled.

i can't provide any input on overclocking because this phone performs so well without it that i haven't found a need to. plus, the battery life is bad enough.

really, its different for every phone. I run 1.804ghz(trinity) stable after a little voltage adjustment. and you would have to turn off smart reflex for that. you will have t read up about smart reflex.
As said above it varies. Fastest I ran that was stable (at least for me) was 1.9 GHz (Franco Kernel) but there wasn't much benefit. I'm currently on Trinity at 1.4 GHz. Trinity on 1.7 GHz crashes for me.

I can get 1500 MHz on faux kernel, 1800 crashes me
Out of interest for you guys on 1.8/1.9Ghz, what do you have yours so high for? Games? Just interested as I actually have mine UNDERCLOCKED to 1096 and have no 'real world' use for anymore. Mind you, I'm not a big gamer so I wouldn't know how the nexus really handles 3d gaming.

Because I can. Because Android fills my daily fix of tinkering and tweaking.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
With Trinity kernel for JB, I'd guess that 1420MHz CPU / 384MHz GPU would be stable for most phones, and it gives you a good little boost in benchmarks, fwiw. That's about the highest you can run without having to remember to tweak other values. And you can knock it down to 1036 or 1190 MHz if you need to save battery. My phone tests ok with the 15xx/5xx MHz kernel, but there isn't much additional oomph in the benchmarks, so I just use the 1420. Also don't want to abuse my phone too much.
Well the faster CPU helps with n64 emulation some games need a bit more omph to play smooth

Gnex overclock
I have overclocked my Gnex to 1.6 with the glados kernel and using the glados control app it's very stable. I tried 1.8 but crashes but I would highly recommend glados very stable at 1.6 and runs a quadrant score in the 2800's

Congrats on dumping Verizon. They are the worst. I am happy to be rid of them. Trinity 1344 and Franco Milestone 5 have been the most stable for me. I currently am running Franco Milestone 5 at 1536, it's fast and stable. You gotta remember too that this phone is running Jelly Bean and a dual core which will be faster than your Dinc anyways.

You have to see the battery issue as well, if not to its will end quickly! In my opinion, use it in Stock is enough. But sometimes I get to put on 1.4Ghz CPU, and I reduce the voltages using the app franco kernel.
I was running Franco milestone 5 at 1536 nice and stable. I think I'm going to drop it back to stock-ish speeds and undervolt it a bit to save battery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Thanks for all the input everyone.
I guess my last question now would be, if I root and keep the Stock ROM, has anyone experimented overclocking the stock kernel?
And if I decided to install CWM, and keep the stock ROM, would Trinity or Franco work on that? Or would I have to install something like CM10 or AOKP to use those other Kernels.
I would rather just like to stay stock without CWM and overclock the stock kernel.
