GB is the best for gaming
If you are a hard gamer i suggest a gaming rom
There is two gaming rom avalaible in the android development section
1- Simplified GB with SIII look
2- Stock Gaming XXLM8
If u want to have a nice look for a gb rom and play games i recommend the first one
If you just want to play game and the look doesn't matter with you
AND if you want overclock the phone, rom n.2 is recommeded
Press thanks if it helped.

ICS just because its faster and smoother.
I tried games on the GB ROMs but they always have some lag but when tested on CM9 it runs smoothly without the lag that was present in the GB ROMs.

I have tested CM9, but it was just the opposite from your comment
Most of the games didn't work
It maybe faster than a stock gb rom
But when it compared to an customized GB rom, GB is better

I tested all of the customized GB ROMs and the lag was there each time and it was alot more noticeable than when using CM9. I don't know what game you were trying to play but all the ones I tried works perfectly even the big ones like Chaos Rings.

For me, iam running my own rom.
it's also on the android development section
and i havn't faced any problems with it, but CM9 was buggy for me. it's interface is powerful. i know
but for GAMING, GB is still better.
BY THE WAY. I have tested Gangstar RIO on CM9 and GB
on CM9 it was very laggy, freezes alot even when Swapping RAM + Chainfire 3D
on GB it rarely lagges without Swapping RAM or even Chainfire 3D

maybe in some situations CM9 comes better than GB
but i still prefer GB for Gaming

Thats weird because I tested that new NFS most wanted and it runs perfectly on CM9 the only problem I had with it is its boring as hell and Asphalt makes a better racer than NFS.

Will Lag like Hell on CM9 even after Swap RAM + Chainfire 3D
while on GB it have very small lag without any swap of ram or even Chainfire 3D
also the reason i say GB is better than CM9 in gaming is the RAM Usage of the system
I on my Custom ROM, i can get only 140mb used by system, so i have nearly 210mb free ram
on CM9 i can't even get 150 free ram

Please read and then reply
I don't make any ROMs or any other things for Android since i'm mostly a designer but even I know the basics of this stuff and why I will continue to say that CM9 the pure CM9 not the ROMs based on it is better than any GB ROM that can be developed now but I would be happy to take that challenge to see the limits of the ROM.

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..

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).

Gingerbread over ICS/JB ROMs?

At the risk of getting flamed, how come the most popular ROM (MildWild) is based on GB? I myself have a ICS/JB and the performance and stability is far above that of GB when it came to my SGS2 custom ROM experience. I'm going to guess that it's simply the best ROM?
For me it was simple, jb looks great, and performed quickly on my phone, but not everything worked. Using a 3rd party app for video recording was a simple solution for one problem that I had, but BBC iPlayer didn't work for me, add a few other niggles and it just wasn't worth it for me, though I still have a nandroid backup if I feel like a quick look again

I think the most common problem is the lack of internal memory and ram that keeps Desire Users from updating to ICS/JB since most of the bigger apps need much storage and run instable.
Tried ICS too and went back to my CM7.
If you're looking for a ICS/JB ROM, go for VJ's CM10.1 port. Pretty decent
Yes the VJ ROM is very nice and fast but I love gaming and the ROM doesn't run hard games ... So for now I'm using Alex 1.8 ROM modded , nice and stable but not that fast as VJ Rom but I can bare with that for now .. when in VJ's ROM hard games will run , I will go back on it

Best ICS For gaming

Hi all, what is the best ice rom for gaming?tried marks rom very sluggish.gamer4/Mui Australia/express don't try..tried some jb slimbean very good but no auto brightness touchpads weird problem with headsets.so decided to try nxt2jb but no new adreno drivers not very good performance.so I think ics is the best choice what you think is the best?thanks
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
the best for gaming is gb.... ics is still slower .... if you want feature from ics or jb and the performance from gb use the next updated of turbo-kernel... you can boot the both or maybe the three of one

marphytons ics rom is the best for gaming.

Do you have the cdma version or gsm. If you have gsm Id recommend aurora play or gin2jellybean. They are both gb and have everything working. (Ginger bread is the only version with everything working). If you have cdma then stock would be the best and just theme it using one of attacks themes. There are plenty ics and jb roms but games don't run smooth on them so id recommend you to stay on gb.

gingerbread roms: aurora play/gin2jellybean / ICS: True Ancestor / Hybrid / with the ICS true ancestor im on gsm everything is working fine games are smooth battery life is good. benchmark score of 6740
which rom are u currently running and is everything working and hows battery life
for me im using aurora as my gb rom and i use ics beta fixed as my daily rom
battry life is great and touchpad and gamepads are working perfecly
and are you sure about true ancestor benchmark
For me;
GB: dixperia 2
ICS: True ancestors/Hybrid
JB: cm10
Right now I'm on ICS True ancestor and for me, no bugs and the games run very smooth :thumbup:

yes im perfectly sure, i have customized this rom used it as a based applied, tweaked build prob, custom libs, and many more so far im getting 6000 on every test i run. and of course the battery life last me a long time, long enough to have a pokemon leveled up to 99 ahahahaha
still confused i dont know which ics rom has everything working dont wanna keep flashing i like games and at the same time need good battery life
I havnt tried atomic gb but i think its one of the best roms
Dixperia 2 is a little bit laggy and only the theme is customized. Its not good for gaming
gin2jellyabean is the best rom

[Q] GB or JB?

Hi guys! I ordered my SGA 2 today and it probably comes with GB, so i was wondering should i update it to JB? Some say JB lags in SGA 2 and others say its better with JB. Could u tell me ur experience with GB and JB in SGA 2? Question is: Should I?

In my opinion jb is in many ways better than gb, besides the battery life. however I've found the stock roms to be laggy but when you install one of the costum jelly bean roms that problem is out of the way too. So I suggest u upgrade to jelly bean, I think it's really worth it! p.s. next time post your question in Q and A for ace 2 thread, it's there for a reason!
If JB only CM.
So basically you read on our forums that for some people JB lags, for some not, and then decided to open new thread to read the same things once again hoping that maybe now everything magically works fine for everyone? Both sections are full with opinions and threads on every available release of JB, we have also Q and A section to ask such questions there.
Android lags every time. I have LG with Quad Core Tegra 3 and I see lag. Same with any other device. In other case, Lumia 720 is running flawlessly. Why? Not open source and full of ****. In any case, I advise to install ME7 Android 4.1 to Ace II. Better than GB.

CM is buggy and luggy)))
I use JB since the first release and I never again had a thought to revert back to GB. Current JB roms are quite stable, so there's no need to stick with GB. Just don't use CM or any other rom which is in alpha stage. Wait for stable release and you'll be okay. And to answer your question - Yes, you should upgrade to JB.
I ´m using JB XE7 since 10 days and it´s working fine ! I update from GB straight via odin and got 624MB memory. For me, i won´t go back to GB!
JB Looks a bit too boring to me... Yes it has better battery use capabilities and 'new' features but for me... ICS is my personal pick. But I would choose GB over JB any day

Look? Do you mean the theme?
If yes, flash cyanogenmod and get thousand of themes.

Cyanogenmod 10 Unofficial by dh.Harald is very good. There are a few Bugs, but if they are no Problem for you, try it.
GB over JB any day for me.
I have flashed all JB release except MF1. All roms were giving too much lag when playing a video (play and then go forward or back and your phone might even become unresponsive) and youtube and facebook videos especially high resolution videos. I have tried Italian Job over MC8 and Kyrillos over MB4 (or MB2?), they were better than stock but not close to how GB plays videos. GB is best for SGA2 in my opinion and experience.

Man, clean RAM sometimes with dedicated Samsung app. I have ME7 and everything fine.
Gb maybe a bit faster but jb is very stable if u install a good custom Rom. Try the italian job rom by mkel91 the nature ux version or kyrillos v8. They are both good but i feel that italian job is more stable.
Plus jb is capable of running a lot of apps that gb can't and don't forget that BBM will only be available for devices with ics and up
If u need any help installing roms just ask

Cause we use 3.0.x kernel which is more better than gb kernel
Look at benchmark score (quadrant)
sent from my galaxy ace II
I do believe Jelly Bean is better, it may be slightly slower at some stages but the touchwiz UI is so much clearer and more advanced. I bought my SGA 2 back in november with GB, and got impatient with o2 not giving an update for it so I decided to root it and get Bagnz0r's sakura droid project on it. I prefer the AOSP look overall
i prefer JB
I use CM 10.1 from bangz0r is faster then gingerbread and more stable.
