I see people report that new rom is fast in graphics and slow in cpu response but for some reason i'am getting oppposing results
I am using this rom now... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361368
Reading through 3-4 messages is slugish and its not smooth and angry birds thend to lag.When i was using older jakintaru rom(salsa port) my phone was flying and games where smooth.Anyone have any idea what can i do to make it better?(any tweaks,tried clearing caches)Tnank you in advance
When I referred to faster graphics and slower CPU scores I was referring to the stock RUU of that release.
Rather than Jikantaru's release I installed the stock and let it upgrade my radio, hboot etc.
I have no Supercharger V6 or kernal scripts on it.
I used Link2SD rather than App to SD and any widget app or app that needs good priority on boot, like Set CPU, Battery Monitor Pro, Superuser, etc, I leave on Internal and don't make links to the second EXT2 partition.
Boots nice and fast then and becomes responsive sooner.
I also use Rom Toolbox Pro and define the various startup apps, freeze out system apps that I don't need and leave widgets unloaded that I don't need.
I also make use of the default memory tweak from RTP and the SD card read speed tweak.
I use Green Power for battery and wifi management as well. Works well.
All in all it has allowed me to install 400 MB of apps and I still have 50 MB of internal memory free, plenty of system memory free at all times for things like in memory processing of camera filters, etc, and a responsive, fast booting system.
Tnx m8 for sharring what do you use
Where did you get stock img for flashing?

It seems like you are just too laze or you want everybody in the forum to show you everything without searching...

I prefer Jik's Salsa ROM, it looks and feels exactly the same as the 2.3.5 update in my opinion, response feels the same etc.

OK, sorry about my manner but there are lots of people just thinking that the other members are supposed to sort the info for them and I was a little bit nervous after I read some other threads.
We all have to help each other not only with knowledge but with time spending too, I hope the people will become more principle and will request things just after they tried (no matter if they are sure) to find the info themselves.

I'm using the stock RUU 2.3.5 release and it's much faster, graphics and all.

Agreed. It's what I've been running on and I've tried every rom on here over the last month.
Off to play with the Salsa Euro 101 with the OC kernel mod and remove Data2SD in exchange for Link2SD.
I would love the Stock RUU 2.3.5 with an overclockable kernel. Nothing else fancy except the ability to have min 19mhz max 806 mhz.
Yeah,i will now install stock and wait for the overclocked kernel and i hope we can then stop flashing our phones every few daysFor now i think we can use that stock 2.3.5 with supercharger scripts couse they do verry nice(lag fix) in my pnone
After installing official rom and some testing i can also confirm that this rom is fastest i have ever triedIt works verry nice,smoth and graphics is great,cheers
Hi guys and gals, I'm currently running AOKP Maguro build 23 and have had a few issues trying to get GTA3 running. I have been able to get it to run with just using the stock kernel that comes with the rom but if I try say Franco, Faux, Imoseon or whatever I can't launch the game. It just won't start. I love running custom kernels as I can OC and UV and get great battery life but I also love GTA3.
Has anyone got it going on a custom kernel and why can't I get mne running? Is the custom SD binary?

Make sure you're running the most recent version of GTA3 and you might want to just use stock clock, it runs smooth at 1.2ghz and the GPU is stock clocked on Lean kernel 2.0.1
I'm using GTA3 version 1.3. I tried that kernel and it failed. Maybe I should try again.
Using MCR r11beta2 with Lean kernel. GTA3 runs really well. I was using Franco's kernerl before this and the game lacks periodically (but really smooth when it wasn't).

Wieird thing is that the game was working great before its last update. Now I experience the same as you : smooth game and then suddenly a bit of lag. May be because of the memory speed not being able to handle the map loading ?
It was the Chainfire 3D app plugin

Well I never had that problem again after using LeanKernel. Not sure if there is something wrong with Franco kernel or LeanKernel just does something differently than the rest.
Had the same problem with francos kernel.. Made a backup of the savegames in
/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/ (3 files for me)
Uninstalled and reinstalled and copyed savegames back.
Works now, pretty smooth i think.
Running gta v1.2 and Bugless beast ROM.
hey guys
didnt want to start new thread so thought it was appropriate to post here.
I used to have an older version of gta3...upgraded it to 1.3 from another.apk.
i manually copied the save files over..worked perfectedly.
fast forward few weeks i was getting weird graphics glitch so i reinstalled.
Thing is now I can't find the com.rockstar.gta3 folder at all to put my old save files in...
I may have rooted the phone since then...would unrooting help me case at all?
any help is appreciated. I'm on yakju 4.0.2 stock
I had the same problem. The folder was just hidden in windows for some reason. No matter what I did in windows or linux I couldn't see the folder.
What I did in the end was install a 'ES File explorer' from android market. Then copied save games to the storage then copied and pasted them to the correct folder in the phone using ES explorer
Hope this helps

"[Feb-11-13][Update6]-=RPEngine™=- Turn your Lame Ass
Phone into a Good Gaming Rig.
old thread here
What does it do?
-MPEngine is a live engine script which was supposed to help on some parts that LazerDroid script couldn't handle,
but now its complete independent script(some little parts are shared), this one beast engine will demolish all those crappy huge lags
How do i apply?
-if you have a older version of my script, or other scripts, delete them.
-my old script is located in init.d, wipe init.d with cwm, or manually delete them before flashing new version.
-now that my script is coded to be completely UNIVERSAL, i dont see why not combining with the other scripts out there!
-you must have cwm recovery that supports wipe init.d or nandroid backup.
1.first download busybox from stericsonhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox and install busybox.
2.download the latest flashable zip in attachments, flash through recovery.
3.reboot & enjoy!
for latest RPEngine: -REBOOT TWICE after flashing. its a part of procedure, for full installation.
if you want to uninstall, flash rpengine_uninstall.zip. only works for rpengine.
inside usrguide.txt from MPEngine12
========================================================================================================================
usrguide.txt
article updated at 1-21-13.
hi guys, this is the mpengine author known as Lag Dr. in xda-developers.com
here im going to show you how does it work, benefits of tuning usrsettings, and how to use it.
lets begin!
1.how does it work?
this engine is made to clear out all lags that happens while playing high end games on your inefficient ram memory.(512mb or less)
tuning LMKs will tend to freeup more memory, so many of you think just tuning this will kill all the lags on games.
well then how about gta3 or max payne games? do they work better?
afaik, LMKs kill processes but the leftovers(registered caches) still remain.
the free ramspace youre seeing through task manager is not entirely a freememory.
so even though LMK cleans all the processes, games will suffer from lags because they have to detect which cache remains and which cache gets dumped.
this engine calculates all that sh*t and flushes page caches REALTIME. once you apply this and play a game, you will notice that there is no more hanging on gta3 or max payne games.
some of you may have a question about why this cache doesnt drop dentries and inodes.
its because clearing inodes will make apps totally lose control and have to rebuild it again, what a resource waste. also apps will still be able to load faster since inodes and dentries remain.
page cache normally takes up bigger amount of ram than dentries or inodes. so why you want to drop all caches? dropping only page cache is more efficient than ever!
2.advantages of tuning usrsettings
this version has a cool feature called usrsettings.
changing values for this file will immediately take affect, you dont have to reboot(except VALUE11 & VALUE14).
the default settings were based on my crappy and sluggish radiowave walkie-talkie, so manually tuning them for your own device may give you much more advantages.
3.how to use usrsettings.
there is a file called usrsettings on the same directory. open with text editor, and edit.the descriptions about which value does sth is included in there also. good luck!
(some engine parts were disabled by default like dalvik booster, but these settings can be re-enabled by editing usrsettings. oh, and some easter eggs are hidden in there)
thats all for now. enjoy

========================================================================================================================
How to check if it works?
for new RPEngine™.
-open terminal shell
-type cat /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.
-if the result is 1, it means its working!
if you have problem that the script doesnt get applied, try manually extracting files and copy those files into the right position.
-/rpengine/ should be pasted to your /system/rpengine/
-/etc/ should be pasted to your /system/etc/
-/xbin/ should be pasted to your /system/xbin/

Every times i flash this tweak , i will get bootloop.
I have tried it on CM9/CM10/AOKP
none of them works for me.
Many people have asked the OP , why we get bootloop ,why the values of cat /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches always 0
but he seldom answer them and never fix it lol
a certain co-filipino xda member here,, also shared that thing to our own filipino forums/android section,,
i was tempt to try it,.,, and flash the latest mpengine_12,,
he said i just flas it via cwm,,, but after flashing,,, my wonder never got the chance to boot... i've tried to wipe cache/dalvik/fp/ but to no avail...
my wonder didnt even got the chance to reach the bootanimation,,,,,, after the wonder preview,, it was just plain black screen....
Hmm.. I guess i habe to delete this thread since everyones isnt working...

i think not,,,,,
some may try it,, and might even tweak it to make it really work to our devices..
the same thing happened in our forum,, some said they're stuck at bootloop,, others confirmed that their device works wickedly faster and smoother...(someone confirmed that by using the tweak,,, he was able to play nba2k13 to an xperia mini pro)
so i guess its just a matter of tweaking to make it work to our devices....
iv followed n tried the mpengine since mpengine 10 n the command given"0".sometimes give "3".did try the manual method using terminal n got "1" but after rebooting my device the command didnt work anymore..iv tried many other tweaks to my wonder..for those who really want to try this tweak,try follow every step of the instruction including the installation of the busybox.if im not mistaken from the original thread someone did mention that the installing busy box from that particular provider/site is an important step together with the removal of any other script n tweak.(im guessing not only in the init.d but mayb in xbin folder if there is any)hope it will help and CMIIW.

just as an information for those who didnt know,the lag doctor is currently developing LMK booster.a new script which is said more better than the latest mpengin/rpengine.

The intro says:
Hello Android community! I'm an advanced developer of custom roms on XDA.
I'd like to continue my Xperia Play Z rom here. The rom will be available on Android-Hilfe.de starting today (May 4th 2013).
I've invested a lot of time and I hope you appreciate it more than the XDA community.
Instructions:
1. Download the rom and put it on your SD card
2. Also download R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf (link on german site)
3. Flash the .ftf file using flashtool.
4. Unlock the bootloader (link on german site is... you guessed it, german)
5. Download Lupus Stock ICS&GV v4 kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167766
6. Flash it using fastboot with the command: fastboot.exe flash boot xxx.img (don't forget to put your phone into fastboot mode)
7. Now go to recovery: press the volume down after the vibration
8. Go to install a zip and find the rom.zip you downloaded
9. The first boot takes a while, be patient
Hi, I have tested the v.1.1.0, and debloated it a lot to see if I can get more free ram to play real racing 3 on this Rom, but I can't get more than 120/130Mb, if you guys got more than this, could you help me please??
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
this rom has 100 mg of ram reserved for gaming so it means you have 220-230mg free of ram
Mark has just recently released v1.2.0
Changelog:
PSPocket removed
Send anonymous user status removed
Several duplicates deleted
Browser replaced by Chrome WALKMAN, album and movies updated to latest version
New Sony sound driver
Odekaka. Apk, DTCIPlayer. Removed
New scripts for more stability
it's one of the better ICS. i tried it and everything worked fine (except display bug in the timer app - but it's a theming issue from the z version i guess).
but don't expect a fluid experience like on GB. it comes quite near but for every day use i need to spare every second i can.
version 1.1 ran real racing really good for me. fluid. does not feel it falls behind GB. every 3d game should run fine. but in CPU intensive tasks like emulators (N64, PSX) - GB is the way to go if you don't want to overclock and loose battery life.
krisdee's hybrid rom also looks promising. if someone want to try ICS i would recommend those two.

v1.2.0 is a little buggy and seems slow but the An Tu Tu score is higher ,also Mark announced he's working on v1.2.1.
My advice is stay on v1.1.0 as it is more stable or wait for 1.2.1
UPDATE: Mark is no longer working on v1.2.1, he's moving straight into v1.3.0 (Maybe Final)
Overall v1.2.0 works pretty good but the inclusion of Chrome as default browser makes it more unstable because it uses more ram than the ICS standard browser.
Maybe v1.1.0 is a little more balanced and stable.

I'm curious to know if you had any problems with link2SD on v1.2.0. Because whenever i reboot i get the following message:
Right now I'm not using Link2SD.
Using Phoenix rom and Lupus ICS&GB v5 kernel before flashing the Xperia Play Z rom I have 610MB of internal data storage so moving apps to the SD card in the classic way it's fine for me.
can anyone compare games performance with gb?
task switcher was slow as hell and for every day usage i was not satisfied.
already tried 1.2.0+gb&ics v3...good theming everything works but...this rom is a mess,took me 1 hour to debloat it.working smooth on the "home" screens.
gaming not so good real racing 3 lags...luncher got killed too often becuase of the "100 mb reserved" thing.
when you open the apps list the transition between screens is not smooth.and i checked and its rom fault.becuase the home screens are smooth and overclock is not helping.
1.1.0 is better?real racing 3 lags?how much free ram the 1.1.0 have?

In my opinion v1.1.0 is better as it is more stable.
I'm not sure if real racing 3 lags, but i play need for speed most wanted and it runs smoothly.
I get around 150mb of ram free using Memory Booster but i use tasker and other programs that constantly run in the background so you might be able to get more

stock rom is still the best.
always row back to stock after tried out those new roms.
u need to know w i8150 hw limits, even with swap n zram, still wont let u play ram hungry apps/games.
i have done my own script n add a few to boost performance/battery saving (no enhancement apps).

yes, is my personal choice after all i did tried out all those custom roms n still row back to stock rom.
tried 4.4.2, no 3G, no over-the air radio, does not wait up when i plugin my headset, very hot when play games......etc,etc,
back to stock rom with some tweaks, faster n cool (never hot up), run with no bugs, never once fc (force close).

Thats just what i would say about my phone, too Stable, fast, ui that doesn't hurt my eyes badly (That's really important to me!), not noticed any f/c or (random) reboots yet, temperature is good during use. Of course mobile network works. I feel happy using it
To be fair i have to add that DarkCM 03/19 was first release without issues noticeable for me. All other versions had AT LEAST one bug: ProCapture camera didn't work as it should. May be i find issues while using it. we'll see
I used OneOfAKind Rom now, pretty stable but some apps are just slow and eat a lot of ram. I blamed the apps, not the ROM. You should try it.
I know Stock is great but I upgraded mine because some apps doesn't work on Gingerbread.

luv to share but .......many (cyberbullies) here didnt want it, want latest fads.
GB is old n past just like XP (eol), which to me is the best OS. :angel:
use at ur own risk.
requirements:
basic knowledge
rooted phone
init.d support
(if unsure wat to do, search n u will get ur answers).
i only use these two on stock rom, no other enhancements or tweaks.
attached r two files zipped:
1) build.prop.GB.Addon - copy all texts n paste to end of line build.prop, if u have duplicate, just remove the sentences.
(mount read/write b4 edit if u cant edit).
2) VMscript140309 file is a script, u can use script manager if u want but i preferred to copy n paste to etc/init.d.
remember must set permission, chmod rwx,r_x,r_x n chown root,shell, else it wont work.
(mount read/write b4 paste if u cant paste).
edit 03/april:
deleted these lines from build.prop.addon file, becoz GB orig apps - music, gallery n video will not update with new add music, videos n pics.
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=true
media.stagefright.enable-record=true

original lines in GB build.prop has two portions:
top portion is this:
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
further down is this:
media.stagefright.enable-player=false
media.stagefright.enable-meta=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=false
Click to expand...

i'm using this bottom portion, becoz the last entries will be log-in, replacing the first entries.
another concern is the read ahead for the rams/cards, it seem to speed up but when i tried use clockworkmod backup, the md5 is mismatched. backup is useless, if u have this problem, remove those read ahead sentences.

Thank you! I'll try as soon as possible. Also, could you tell me about game performance?

most games with installation files below 100mb runs good, board games will just fly thru.
those power n ram hungry games, i dun recommend play games with installation file above 100mb (hw limitations).
candy crush sage is quite power n ram hungry even its installation file is below 100mb, it runs without problem.
edit:
i played magic mania for more than an hour on GB, generated less heat than when i played candy crush saga on KitKat for less than 10 mins. :silly:
I'm looking at flashing my W too. It has GB still, but I modded it by CWM recovery, root and debrand plus stripped out un-needed bloat. What I want to do with it is flash it to possibly JB and run VIPERaudioFX and either Poweramp or Neutron audio player and mostly keep it as a smart music player for my car. I run a modded quad core phone as my main device now because it is a great multitasker and has a big screen for my failing eyes. The W is a nice, small size for a music front end though. So pocketable or fits nice in the centre console. I still have a thing about that phone despite it being old now. So, a modern and light OS is needed. Must be stable but it's not going to be a main phone. What are the recommendations?
If it's not practical, I will keep GB on it and see if I can slim it down further and if I can get a version of Viper that will work with it.
in general, i recommend stick with GB becoz its less buggy than the new android OS (ics/jb/kk).
if the app(s) cant run on GB, its becoz the app(s) need more RAM (hw limitations).
new OS have swap n zRAM which makes it laggy (in one way or the other).
I found it laggy on GB anyway. Removing Touchwiz and various Sammy apps after installing Legacy Launcher improved things. Also Smart Launcher2 Pro is nice. I'm actually running that one on my W200.
I was thinking getting rid of the Samsung account and extra software plus Keis etc would help things. strip out as much as possible without breaking it, do CWM backups before any major change, just in case.
I do know what you mean by the RAM, despite newer ROMs running well, they do need a lot of RAM. Minimal widgets, only the Gmail account etc will help.
I'll have a play with it. Mine is an i8150T, not an i8150, the Australian Vodafone version. Does the phone support 900MHz 3G in hardware? It's not accessible on my Vodafone ROM as they run 850MHz 3G. Maybe I could use a ROM meant for a different country. I did that with my Garmin Asus Nuvifone a50. Installed a Canadian ROM and got it working on 850 instead of the 900 it was supposed to be on as it was an Optus phone originally.
