Most of stock ROMs are laggy. GB/ICS - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like title say I have a problem with all stock based ROMs. Most of them are laggy in games and in launcher too (but in launcher is not that heavy). I have suspicious that is issue of my phone because people say that for them is ROM lagless. It's interesting because CM9 is nearly lagless but in all GB/ICS stock based ROMs i experince lags with/without overclock. Any ideas what's wrong with my phone?
Sorry for my bad english

I have tried adrenobooster 3 times on three different roms, all getting severe lag. Although I appreciate the devs work I found adrenobooster to be a massive hit to performance.

Yes i have installed apps like Facebook etc. but i'm using greenify (on ICS of course). It's the app that freeze apps like facebook so no RAM eating from them. In GB is different but still with those apps i have about 180 MB RAM free. I deleted AdrenoBooster and performance is little bit better but not good. Mystery is that when i use CM9 based ROMs lags are gone.

Adreno booster is really great think but not for me. Yeah in some apps is really big performance boost but in others there's huge performance downgrade. So i think that for me is better living without AdrenoBooster

The best so far that I stuck on using is Xperia Nxt 1.3 by Kris dee. I've tried lots of ROM and I think this is the most stable yet beautiful. Flexible also because you can install facebook, timescape, twitter, battery widgets, maps, walkman, by your choice. Can't wait to the next update. I have lots of applications that I installed now but still no lag and still 110mb free on phone memory.

that's what i'm saying when i recommend a rom then it's nxt 1.3.
also for me it's the best, stable as stock, all the special features like quick panels and walkman in lockscreen, the "good" clock app from other sony phones (with timer and stop watch). it never let me down and the battery life in combination with the good old doomkernel seems also unbeatable.
used it over 6 months - then i tried a lot of other roms. now i'm back again.

Some custom ROMS are just for your eyes only. Just to tell your friends you got ICS or JB even your phone is 2011 model. The thing with those ROMS is they remove the Sony UI which is I believe the most professional looking UI on androids than Samsung/LG/Moto/Htc. Some ROMS will even remove the functionality of the gaming pad of the xperia play. We bought the PLAY for that reason. For "GAMING" ....

[Q] Gameboid lag on ICS

So I recently unlocked my bootloader and have been trying various roms; however, whenever I try an ICS rom, I always experience framerate lag on gameboid (with sound on). FPSE and N64oid seem to run at full speed. I've have tried overclocking as well, but I still experience the same lag. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this, or should I just go back to GB?

I've noticed this as well, but haven't put any thought into it being caused by ICS. I'll play with some settings and see what I can find out.

B*tch please, Gameboid can't even start a game on FXP116 CM9! Please tell me what rom are you using
Anyways setting frameskip to 0 or sometimes even automatic often fixes "emulator lag" in every device that can run one (PC, PSP, etc.), at least for me.

The framerate is fixable with the frame skip, but the sound will always experience that distortion. The better your CPU and RAM, the better the sound is processed, but overall it's difficult to get rid of the sound problems.
I use a Galaxy S 4g and I still get those sound issues.

That's funny, because FXP has only released 115 CM9 for the Play so far. Expect 116 later today, though, unless you compiled one yourself.

Well the sound works perfectly fine on CM7, but on CM9 it gets very glitchy. I'm assuming it's because how much of a ram hog ICS is.

WRONG! Stock official ICS isn't actually a ram hog or battery hog, but other unofficial builds for some phone models are. For example, CM9 experiences battery drain and consumes half of the ram for Sony Xperia devices and others while it does not for some other phones, then there's the official Sony ICS beta for the Xperia devices built separately for each one, which runs smooth, and has its own problems, like broken wifi indicator.
tl;dr: If you are going to blame someone, it's the ones who built CM9 for your device, not Google, AOSP or your carrier.

But in general, ICS is more resource intensive than GB will ever be, so even stock ICS (IMO) probably wouldn't run as efficiently as say CM7. (I might be talking out my ass, but this is the conclusion I've come to from user experience)
Edit: Also, my gameboid games are starting fine on CM9
This is what I did to fix the problem.. Turn your data connection off and the emulator will run a lot smoother

[Q] play running extremely slow :(

Hey guys, I've had my play for just over a year, I've installed countless roms and had a ball doing it. Unfortunately I think the old girl is struggling to keep up with the last couple of custom roms, cm9.1 and mark phyton's un/official ICS rom. The latter is the one I am running now and even after a reinstall it is nearly unusable, it's extremely laggy and freezes on apps like facebook, kindle and youtube. Ram sits at 30-40mb free, I have link2sd running to free up internal memory and am overclocked to 1.2ghz with setcpu. I know ICS is pushing the limits of the play's capabilities but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be this bad can anyone suggest anything to try to get better performance please?
ICS roms are not suitable for the play. If u want better performance use a GB rom instead

[Q] bad perfomance?

Hi there,
I don't know, if it's my imagination, but I think the tegra3 is not powerful enough to play games like "Need for Speed" or "Shadowgun THD". While playing I'm experiencing fps-drops and laggy tracking shots in cutscenes. I've also tested the gaming boost app, which changed nothing in my opinion.
When I look at a friend's Nexus4, everything is buttery smooth. But: 1080p playback with BS-Player also works smooth as hell on my HOX (with MHL to my TV too). So I think, it's a little bit strange, that I can't play properly.
Someone also encountering this gaming-issue or is it just me?
Well the problem is sense is very heavy requires more ram and htc stock kernel doesn't make the most of the phone so if you want to take most out of your phone flash an aosp rom with ncx kernel repacked for it
Sent from my HTC One X using ViperX 3.2.4
Thanks for your answer. But I would miss sense a lot. So is there any chance of a + in performance with a sense rom?
If you are on stock there is not much I can suggest for you to do. With certain games like need for speed, modern combat etc. it is up to the game developer to optimise it for the device. Unfortunately with some of them like Gameloft there games are not properly optimised for the one x.
If you are rooted and on a custom rom though, there are other possibilities.You can go for a non sense rom like Cyanogenmod, stripped down versions of sense like Renovate, or there are even mods which speed up the device like Renovate gaming boost.

A rom without sense makes no sense to me.
I've already tried the gaming boost-app, but didn't notice any effects.
make sure you havnt got powersave mode on.
Also if your rooted flash this through recovery -

Try it, and let me know if there's any difference. Sounds like this might be an issue. The zip only cleans the free space and makes it writable again. Over time it becomes unusable, fstrim repairs it. Doesn't do any harm.
It may be another problem, but this is likely.

clean Gingerbread vs CM9 rc5

Can anyone please name the advantages of CM9 installed on our phone?
Currently i use Bagux 1.4 and I've noticed these pros against cm9:
Better battery,
No connectivity problems,
Camera works faster..
CM9 r5
I bought my Galaxy W has 8 days and I am already using the CM9, not sorry ...
Advantages:
1- It is ICS so it has more features and options. CM gives even more customizations to Android
2- It looks way better than stock GB
3- There are many custom kernels!
4- It has more attention from the devs, GB has WAY less attentions now.......
5- The theme option in setting, this means that you can change the colours of the rom just by installing an app
6- You will be upgrading to a rom that has been made by Sir Arco..........Enough said!
Disadvantages:
No FMradio
CM9!
arco68 is very good at it ... CM9 makes! The samsung is so ***** that left us in 2.3.6, but for that there XDA developers! : D: D

You can download Spirit Light, it's a FMRadio and it works greater than the original one for what I saw till now.. =)
i would say if you've used stock GB for a long time like me, you will find stock GB's interface to be more simple haha. But learning a new interface is never too hard so this is not much of a pro.
some even speculated that GB roms uses less battery than ICS/JB roms since well u know... GB has not much to offer xD! But I believe with more and more kernels developed within the ICS/JB frameworks, GB will also lose in the battery department.
So in conclusion, GB is outdated and should only be kept for preference purposes. (right now, I'm too lazy to migrate due to all the customization I have to redo and the ICS/JB rom still not finalized yet, yes I'm unreasonably demanding lol)
I've tried a lot of roms. Thought i will stick with CM9, but after experiencing wifi, data problems, battery drain, I've came back to GB Bagux rom, which runs smoothly for me and has no bugs or problems. I always change the interface with custom launchers, so looks of GB isnt an issue, since there is themes for its framework too. I think its better to have more free memory, than to run on the Edge of memory shortage like on CM9. And battery is definately better for example 1d16h on battery and 66% left. (didnt use phone much but still on cm9 it was 2-3% while deepsleep)
We can talk all day bout this topic. But in my opinion it really depends on what type of user you are.
In my case, i use camera a lot at work, i also use fm radio, and plays a lot of 3d games.
It's a mix feeling when you try those different roms. When i flashed CM10 i thought i was never gonna go back to GB.
JB brings new stuff, buttery smooth as they say, and it's the latest Android. But there are still bugs in the camera, and battery life isn't that good yet compared to GB. After using it for more than a month, i decided to try the latest GB update (2.3.6 dated December 2012).
I think i'm gonna stick with GB for the moment. Not until battery life is improved and those glitches in the camera are fixed.
To compensate the feeling of being outdated, i tried different launchers. I mean really different, like launcher 8 which totally mimics the windows phone interface. Looks can be easily achieved whether you are in GB or JB as there are plenty of launchers and customizations out there.
When it comes to performance, i managed to get the best of my current GB rom by carefully managing start ups and disabling apps which i do not really use. It plays all the 3d games i have with no lag at all. I do not overclock my phone, coz it will just eat up more battery.
Overall, i think my current setup is better and just what i need for daily use. It's quick, no bugs, reliable, and the battery can last 2 days with minimal use. So I'm satisfied and happy with it. For now..

if you want to try gb for gaming install the latest euro update XXLMI (december 2012). i think it performs better.
install "autostarts" from market and disable auto starting apps to save memory.
u may want to freeze system apps you don't use also with link2sd. this is what i did basically, without any other tweaks and i'm happy with the result.
same here ,,, im a big fan of link2sd apps,, i used to link all my apps to my 32gb class 10 mmc,,, so that my phone memory never gets full,, whenever new game comes,,,,

Hi, well this is a hard question, i like to know what rom are you using and Why?, because im flashaholic Ill try a lot of roms like gin2jelly, Atomic, aroma, miui, etc, but i still using the true ancestor 1.6 because for me this rom its fast, If i dont want open my XP i can play with the virtual jostik and have a battery life very acceptable..

i didint have any lag till now and everything is working great for me in v2.4
Last night i install gin2jelly 2.4.0 this from q clean install.. First install 2 3.0 and later the patch.. And i dont know If im the only one with this issue, but in all the games i test the virtual jostick doesnt works, or the buttons on screen, this like the touch doesnt Work, i really freak out because i think my touch era brocken, but when i get back to my nandroid of true ancestor everything going fine again. So tell me one of you have the same issue than i?

Performance
Best Gaming performance? Stock Rom (GingerBread) + Custom Kernel (Lupus v10 GB) for max and stable fps.
After a lot of time passing flashing roms, i found that all the "performance scripts" or "boosters" are causing fps drops in games, or they are placebo effects.
I tried flashing several versions of "Gin2JellyBean" but the only things i liked of this rom are the keyboard and the sound quality. Adrenobooster give me fps drops so i always delete it.
The custom rom that gave me best results after deleting Adrenobooster and init.d scripts is "Bane of Speed v4", that have almost the same gaming performance of the stock rom.
If the gaming isnt ur priority, you can go with Gin2JellyBean without Adrenobooster that have the best features.
