[Q] BEST ICS Rom for HD Gaming

What is the best ICS Rom with working TouchScreen for games? I want to be able to play games like Modern Combat 3 with the TouchScreen responding throughout (if you get what I'm talking about when the controls gets locked and you can't do anything really).
A game like ShadowGun where the TouchScreen is completely bugged. I found a fix for the HTC Sensation and a rom which fixes the problem for the Xperia Play (DarkForest). I hope there is a rom like DarkForest or ICS++ for the Arc/S.
Please help me out here people

[Q] Up coming gaming?

I had just saw N.O.V.A 3 trailer for iso and android, I would really wish to play that game on my xperia arc s if it's out, However... my arc s which is running "Stock ics with all the bloatware remove" could bearly even support modern combat 3 without heavy lags every few sec...
So share your gaming experience on any 2011 xperia phones, were you able to enjoy any game without any lags? stock rom or custom? etc etc...

In GB with Arconium 8.2 and DoomKernel v22, games flied off (including MC3)
Now am in Leaked 4.0.4 and i cant even think of playing games in it though the UI is a lil bit smooth.

hey, i have 8.2 and v22 aswell, but mc3 sometimes doesnt respond, i get those options force close and wait, do you have those problems?

Use stock kernel for gaming and you'll have no problems. Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCK0dvRbTHI i had this problem and the same as yours with mc3, on stock kernel everything is okay...

GTA 3
After upgrading my Xperia ARC to ICS 4.0.4 its impossible to play GTA 3. It freezes and its very laggy. On 2.3.4 it Worked great. Any ideas what's wrong ?

gaming sucks in ICS..thats why sony stopped working on ICS for xperia play..

ISO is great OS. I think iOS is better, isn't it?

Is the hardware acceleration in ICS helping or isn't it?

Well i have not played much memory intense games. But im crazy about temple run and its quite smooth in my ARC with JJ 3.1 custom rom/ Arc Night Kernel

Its causing problems with some games. Some run, others don´t.

i think GB will be a lot better than ICS for games i used ICS and had a lot force closes in games...like n.o.v.a. 3 and order & chaos and i had 160 ram free!! then i changed to stock GB first and i saw differences...a lot faster !! no force closes! after this i unlocked my bootloader and installed custom ROM arconium 8.2 and doomkernel...WOW! now my phone is great!!! i will give chance ICS but i will w8 when they will repair this rom beacuse now is not for me
sorry for my english;p

yes n.o.v.a 3, max payne, dead space, heavy gunner i play them and are good.... n.o.v.a 3 lags a little and have crashed 2-3 times. But u will check more problem when u connect it to hdmi and then play on lcd, etc.... even heavy gunner 3d crashes and force closes then. My phone's currently on 4.0.4 stock ics rooted .

My's has no error with nova 3, may lag at times but it's bearable unlike modern combat 3 which lag's is far worse... GTA 3 does lag too on ICS, reckless racing 2 crushes on some maps... But ICS should be a better software so issue like these will be solved but... =\

Your best bet is to Flash a GB rom and see if there's any change in game play performance. ICS is game crippling.

I use Snesoid, so if snesoid is failing I'd imagine everything else would be equal or less in performance

Snes9x EX works brilliantly, and best of all it's still being updated (sadly not on Google Play though). Here's the site: http://www.explusalpha.com/home/snes9x-ex

thank you so much
but i've checked super mario RPG with that ( one month ago ) , it couldn't run that game smoothly , full of lag . is there any option on that to improve the game performance ? like "c Core" on snesoid ?
can you please let m eknow the best settings for super paper mario ?

I think the best solution would to go to Gibgerbread
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch w/ Stock 4.0.4
Xperia Play R800X w/ supercharged stock 2.3.3 and doomkernel

Have you tried with Super Gnes? It runs fine but the audio crackles sometimes.

I'm actually running a earlier version. Of this. EMU. and I don't have any lag. But at the same I am using the wiimote function because the button on the screen don't respond well

yeah , i've tried super Gnes , nut that one is not as good as snesoid ( even on GB ) .
so , i think there is not a good emulator for ICS ! that can run super mario RPG as well as sensoid(on GB )
thanks all ,
for the reason like this , i always think thank ICS ia somethings like windows Vista , useless
i hope jelly bean can be a windows 7 ...

I've thought the same thing! GB is like Windows XP, stable and still frequently used by many. ICS is like Vista, full of lag and bugs. JB is like Windows 7, improving upon ICS and fixing the vast majority of issues and performance.

[Q] List of the games that are not supported

Okey, I found out there are some games (most common gameloft games) that do not work on this phone, or they work but only with mods and some of them have lag issues.
I've made this thread so we can put the list on, and not be suprised when they try to download them from store, or they have weak performance.
So, can we get the list of the games that are incompatible with HOX or HOX+ ?

if you have some of these games then write them here

N.O.V.A. 3 - heavy lag
GTA 3 - laggy
Batman The Dark Knight Rises - laggy
Asphalt 7 - laggy
The Amazin Spiderman - bit laggy
Wild Blood - heavy lag
Mostly Gameloft games.
If somebody experienced same thing with different game, post it up.

GTA3 runs fine for me on CM10 with ncx's kernel and on my mate's HOX which is running ICS ARHD with stock kernel...

do you have rooted device? if you install a non-stock rom you won't have these lags! as i know, they're persistent only on the firsts ics roms

No, my phone is not rooted. I'm on JB though.

I know that, but on sense 4.1 is painful experience.. And I hate HTC for making only 8 apk to be multitasked.

Do you use any apps like Android tuner or Root Control?, (chainfire 3d?)

Not enough RAM, you should try to restart your phone and kill unwanted apps before play.
