Hi Guys,
As the title says, I would like to know which is the best Arc S Rom for overall performance/smootheness.
I'm currently on the stock Gingerbread Rom, and honestly I'm quite happy with it, but I really like some of the extra features that ICS has.
The thing is, with all the negative feedback people are giving about lagging and battery consumption, i'm apprehensive about updating.
So I would just like to hear some honest opinions on what do you find is the best ROM, and how does it stack up to the stock gingerbread one.
Thanks
Recently upgraded to the Mooded 4.0.4 rom and it has been great! Coming from Doom's 4.0.3 rom, the newer rom is MUCH better! Overall very responsive and as a result, i can run at 700mhz all day, with no noticeable lags! I did have GB once, but that was quite a while ago, so i can't really compare.. Hope this helps
Current setup: Mooded 4.0.4 rom + ArcKnight RC2 Kernel
GB.
Rooted 2.3.4, Removed all Junk apps.
Ill Tried so many ROMs, all are in my eyes crap.
****ty compatibility, all ics had Problems with 720p Recording, Crappy Games Compatibility and stuff
At least such Superlative ROM Titles like "Hd Gaming, Superfast, GPU Oc" are all lies
Arc isnt a good ICS Base.
No Dualcore, to small RAM.
Gb is The best Choice.
I love the ICS Holo Style.. But for me, Function over Design.
On my old Defy, with Quarx Cm9, all Games runs like Hell, Do a Test, putt Real Racing2 on your ArcS..
On Defy, a ****ing Performance, on Arc, a crappy Joke, even Menue Stuck every Second.
ARCONIUMS work is good.
Now, with GB on 1.6Ghz, ms Arc runs like Charm

Arc does not need even the OC to be fully capable of running ICS. I think you haven't tried Arconium ICS 2.4, the one with the software rendering enabled. Find it in the Dev section and BE HAPPY. It's smooth as hell, everything works fine and I haven't had ANY problems with it so far.
Performance & Smootheness...
I suggest Arconium(GB) , JJ's Hybrid(ICS).
CM7.2 from FXP130 is the best one. It is base on gingerbread. Amazingly fast and support themes. The only issue is it needed custom launcher. I suggested Go launcher. It have ability to overclock up to 1.6 ghz and many other stuffs. Tested and work with many games nice and smooth. Asphalt 6 running fluency. Shadow guns running fine with chinfire 3d by change open gl to nvidia. 200+ free ram. That it!
Edited: if you want holo theme. Theme it CM7.2 have lots of themes including ICS.
i recommend jjhybrid for performance and smoothness. i use this rom from 2.5v til now 3.2v...
im using arconium 4 with XArc kernel. at first it was a little bit laggy but after i installed latest V6 + kick ass kernelizer it was great. very smooth scrolling and everything works just fine
and i overclocked to 1,6GHz for daily use, no heat and stable with XArc

i suggest Xperia S ICS v2.5 . smooth, fast and stable.. :laugh:
GB is dead, deal with it!
Move on.
JJ's Rom & doomkernel smoother than butter
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
For perfomance, on GB - Stock 62, Acronium 8.2; on ICS - Acronium 4.0 (if you want stocklike ROM), JJHybrid, both with XArc or ArcKnight 3.5.1 OC kernel.
GB is suck! but the best Rom now for Arc is JJ HYBRID very smoothnes and really fast Recommend this rom. Sory my english :laugh:

So I would just like to know currently which ROM is better for gaming and everyday use. I know that JB was supposed to be much faster than ICS but I don't know how far it is in terms of porting. So which is better for gaming and everyday use? When I say gaming I mean with touchpad support fixes and stuff. Also please don't consider the speaker problem on JB as I have considered that. Any help is welcomed.
ICS should be more stable. At this point it's difficult to get a polished JB rom because there is no official rom from Sony to build something around it for Xperia Play, but some JB projects look promising so stay tuned.
Agree with this, JB seems promising though the FXP team are working hard at it. But if you want something with most things working go for an ICS based ROM

Is ICS still the way to go? Or is JB now the better alternative to GB?
JB is better at caching, which means you can multitask better and stuff. But on most JB ROMs panorama and video recording are not fixed yet, so if you want a fully working phone , go with ICS. I have also noticed that ICS is smoother in gaming, so if you are a gamer, you better stick with ICS. However, personally I would think that JB is smoother than ICS in general.

Stick with GB. ICS lags on gaming.
So far ive used ics and jb. But currently in love with cm10 jb. I love the stock feel with it. Lolz. Not a gamer much. Just wanted a full brewed working android phone.

Ics is definately the best. Currently ics beta 4.0.4. Has no bugs camera works and wifi works perfectly . Gaming is also very smooth with very little problems. Jelly Bean has a lot of bugs. And isnt very stable.
GO FOR ICS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Some jelly bean Roms are much smother then you every ics Rom.
For example: turbo ui

Hello, could someone tell me how smooth is nova3 and wild blood on cm7?
from my experience I would say that the highest performance ROM is android revolution HD
Nova 3 works fantastic on my ICS rom as well as MC2 and MC3. A few games seem to stop working on ICS like Shadow Gaurdian being one of them.
sent from an Ice Cold Imspire
1. I ask about cm7... but thx.
2. On AospX nova is slooooow and laggy (multi), as is the wild blood.
CM 7 has kinda slow reacting cpu governors if you know what i mean...
and its a huge battery drain even compared with ICS roms....
hi..
I make this thread because I get sick of my HOX..
As you know, it's Tegra 3 GPU in this phone and I expected much more.
First, many games are laggy, who even built for this phone / Tegra 3
Mine is rooted and uses the IceColdJelly with NCX kernel.
A game that I like very much is SG: Dead Zone that is build for Tegra GPU. But why the hell does it lagg? It should be the other way around.
Is anyone having problems with this game?
It does not matter what I use for graphics settings, Low,medium,high or ultra high
The game works much better on my Galaxy Nexus, but would far rather use my HOX!
Is there anyone who can give me a tip on what kernel / rom / sense rom that is good for gaming?
It would be wonderful and grateful
Hi.. im looking at a kernel from NCX what called NCX gaming kernel at NCX
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33805830&postcount=10399
or EternityProject Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33672330&postcount=10158
Does this need a sense rom? or does it work with CM10 / AOKP rom? If it need a sense rom ? Which rom? i dont understand how to install it ? is there any one who has done this before and maybe give me a little guide how to install ?
It would be sweet. Thx, maybe this is a solution for laggy games?
Turning back from JB to ICS was the best thing i ever done.. running viper with NCX gaming kernel and Gaming booster and it really runs great. But dont know anything battery life yett..
Case close.
I've used to run Jelly Bean on Desire until I installed Nikez's ICS 4.0.4 to check how games run there, and they ran much much faster, no lag at all. Still, JB is smoother in every other aspect besides gaming.
But ofcourse, no ROM has same speed and I was wondering are there any good/known tweaks to improve performance in games for JB 4.2.2?
Nikez's JB is faster than other JBs I tried but I still need little performance boost to make them run fast like on 4.0.4....
This is an interesting discussion.
I was on froyo before and jumped to JB 4.2.2 directly.
I can't compare some games because the newest ones work only on 4.x and did not work on 2.2... but the games working in froyo are working smooth on JB.
I'm using CyanoMod007 v21.
I think I could try the Nikez ICS you mentioned.
I am using it. It is faster than other Jb roms but not as ics.
JB is a resource hog compared to ICS and you can't get the same GPU perf on JB. It's a fact and you can't really change it unless we somehow become able to change the GPU clock on Adreno 200. I had the same experience on my Defy; CM9 is much faster for gaming than CM10.
Don't be disappointed, Adreno 200 is crap anyways and Qualcomm made a wrong decision in using the AMD Z430 in their debut GPU :laugh:

I agree with you. But still, CM9 has laggy animations and feels slower then CM10. Gaming is it's only advantage IMO...
I used to play this mobile version of BFBC2 on my Defy all day and although it wasn't the best game I could easily get playable FPS on any CM9 or CM9-based MIUI ROM. The move to CM10 made my frame rates drop to the boundaries of unplayability. I can't even play it on my Desire, QSD8250 is so bad.
I think the system is just so focused on hitting 60 fps on JB ROMs because of Project Butter, that the GPU really has to push hard so there aren't resources left for gaming especially on a device with 512MB LPDDR1.
It's really a tradeoff; either you can have smoother animations on other apps because of Project Butter in CM10, or you can have better gaming performance with CM9.
The system isn't trying to hit 60fps since the desire doesn't have project butter
