Dears,
I have a requerst - can anyone chcek the game CSR racing - it's free how it is performing? On standard ROM it doesn't fork on my HTC - it frezess after few minutes.
On custom ROM's it works, but just only on based on JB 4.1.2 or 4.2.2,but still even if overclocking CPU to 1.5 (5500 points in antutu) the game have some slowdowns.
The game doesn't work on custom ROM's based i.e. on Sense 4.0.3 v2.22 Canadian Koodo (Beaver) - as I said it works only for few minutes, sometimes second and then freze the phone.

In god old times of LeeDroid 1.7 (my first customrom on Desire), there was a fix called GPU+. As i remember, it was a fixed driver which gave us 5% more 2D performance, while 3D increases about 30%.
Since 2.3 i have never seem this fix here anymore, but games need it today more then ever (like Contract Killer, even lagging while running at 1152MHz..)
But there are two other things i miss:
1) Highperformance OC - there where kernels with 1,2GHz enabled, yesterday i stoped flashing a rom because there were only 1050MHz enabled. Is there a nother way to "unlock" the possility of open end OC?
2) Camera OC - When Froyo brought us 720p, i think Leedroid Roms include a fix named Camera Overclock, increasing the FPS on HD video capture. In 2.3.3 ROMs, 720p is still laggy, but where is Camera OC gone?
I hope you can give me the answers i want, or even some solutions.

HTC did not release the kernel sources for the 2.6.35 GB sense kernel, so there is no possibility to create a kernel with these tweaks yet.
Are these kind of things possible on AOSP?
Thanx for your answers, i thought the sources opend with the upcoming new Kernels.
Good to know, that its just a couple of time till i got my features again
I tried so many ROMs but never found a good/not buggy/non laggy one
I want a stable rom and a radio (not one using internet) that doesn't sound like a tv with no antena (spirit fm)
Also i'm asking for an improved rom not an official gingerbread version, please don't suggest this
Thx
Interesting. You could try AOSP ICS from MoltenMotherBoard team or Maclaw version , both you find in development section , them being release canditates and all are a whole lot of bugfree , well for me at least . As for the AM/FM radio i`m curios of an answer myself , maybe someone can enlighten us with a good one
Well, i have tried several cm 9, 10, 10.1 roms and all have their fair share of bugs.. most notably the very low speed with usb transfer, lag in certain scenarios, problems with s2ext or symlinks apps, some have problems with big screen callers, and so on..and i too am very annoyed by lack of radio (spirit fm sucks).. i can recommend you the current rom i am using which is absolutely bug-free once you get it going: cm 7.2 based JellyBread .. from my experience i can tell you that it is:
-lag free, with smartass v2 governor.. especially when waking up the phone after some idle time, other roms (lilke oldroid`s) take some 3-4-5 annoying seconds to wake up and go full speed.. in jellybread is absolutely instantly responding, which for me matters
- usb transfer works at it should..i have 4 class memory card and it is writing at 4 mb/s.. most other roms provided me with 1-1,5 mb/s,, i am talking about formated card with 2 part, one fat32 and one ext2
- wifi has some hiccups, that is transferring a video of 300 mb between my laptop and phone works like this: 1 mb/s for some10 seconds, then drops to zero for 1-2-3 seconds, then again pumps up to 1 mb and so on, like a roller-coaster.. but this happened on ALL roms i ever tried, and in others it was much worse than this.
- it has included fm air radio, and it works fine (but dont have your earphones plugged in-ear when turning the radio on, it is going LOUD for 1 second)
- it is looking great, jellybean like-ish (see for yourself in pictures), smooth animations and everything.. ofc, it is not jellybean, so the visuals when scrolling and such are not as crisp, cm 7.2 lack the tehnology ..but the menus, fade in- fade out and everything, are jb-like, much more nicer than old gingebread, while the performance is the good ol` 2.6.3.7-ish.. a fair trade i`d say
- my battery lasts 3 days easily, with some 2 hours of usage (screen on) during this time..if i turn of background data and stuff, i make it to 5 days of standy (true, very little usage, just some calls during that time, but still)
- s2ext is working fine..which is important..
Apart from JellyBread which i strongly recommend if you want stability and also native radio, as i said Olddroid`s rom which is genuine jellybean is pretty good and almost stable.. once you got it to woke up it works, just some bugs with some specific apps like custom call screen and custom sms handler which were force closing, but definitely much better than the total mess 6 months ago when all these ics/jb roms were virtually unusable.. i remember in august-september i was on an ics rom which was draining the battery from 100 to 0 in under 2 hours, whit screen of i do hope that maybe this summer there will be a stable, bug-free, lag-free jellybean based rom for gio..i intend to give it to my girlfriend when upgrading But for now, I stick with Jellybread
but JELLY BREAD has a problem with lucky patcher.
currently im using AOKP milestone 6 CM9
for me its a great ROM, NEVER had even a SINGLE random reboot, just a few bugs oh and cronmod a2sd++ works just fine
camcorder not working using stock camera app (you can use videoillusion)
usb tethering not working for me (you can use other tethering app)
no FM radio player
well thats the only thing thats bugging me with the ROM, but this is the ROM that still impressed me the most till now
Hello all,
A long time ago I got bored of the stock ROM on my Desire HD and ended up rooting and installing CM7.2. That was a fantastic move as the phone was now faster, smoother and had more features than the stock ROM ever had. However, as Android has progressed onwards I've looked wistfully at 4+ phones and wished I had a slice of that goodness. So, over the past few months I've experimented with a couple of ICS and Jelly Bean ROMs (PACman, JellyTime, TrickDroid). However, despite these ROMs all being fully functional, performance was always often so frustratingly bad that I always ended up going back to CM7.2. The interesting thing is that individual applications generally tend to work very well. For example, a good portion of the time, web browsing on the stock browser on PACman is fantastic - smooth, fast, better than anything I'd experienced on the DHD. However, when loading and switching between apps (including sometimes when using the keyboard), going back to the homescreen etc, the performance would often be molasses slow. Reverting back to CM7.2, sadly, always feels like a breath of fresh air!
The only thing I noticed was that the device reported twice as much free RAM in CM7.2 as it did in the 4+ ROMs (between 200-300MB, compared to less than 150MB). Interestingly enough, in PACman when you go into the AOKP settings you can enable a RAM counter in the application switching interface. This always reported much less free RAM available than the the stock RAM counter that you can find in Settings->Apps->Running Apps (why is that?). But regardless of that, that counter was very frequently showing very little free RAM (a few MBs) when the phone was acting super slow. I tried messing around with memory management settings (enabling zRAM, enabling the shared kernel paging option etc), but to no noticeable effect. The only performance tweak I make to all the ROMs is to overclock the CPU to 1.5GHz...other than that, I just use the ROM.
Is this just an expected side effect of using 4+ ROMs on such an old phone? Or are people able to get super-smooth, never-frustrating, always-responsive performance with these ROMs by tweaking/changing stuff etc? Any thoughts?

I haven't experienced any problems using CodefireX. Did you make sure to fully wipe everything when you reinstalled the ROM?

Thanks for the CodefireX suggestion - I'm downloading it now. And yes, I always do a full wipe before installing a ROM.
Some users have reported auto rotation issues with just flashing the stable releases..currently there are two options I know of. One is to download a stock ROM than dirty flash a jb rom soon after..the directions I gave you for that one are probably out of sync. Than there's another option such as flashing codefire nightly than dirty flash the latest codefire stable release. I flashed nightly 20130219 than dirty flashed the latest stable release and auto rotation works for me. What surprised me the most is I came from a low end smartphone. That being a LG optimus one and even that had a cm10 ROM but I never messed with it so I'm not sure if it had the same problems as the ones I flash now on my I4G. Than again that LG only had 512 mb of memory

If you want more ram and you don't need many programs to be working in the background you can just set max backgr processes to 4 in dev options

Amazing that a phone from 2010 is still usable and can almost run Dead Trigger 2 but prematurely exits app probably from running out of memory. Currently running CM 10.1.3.1 stable. Anyone know of a low DRAM memory footprint ROM that can run Dead Trigger 2 consistently?
Update: Decided to try different CM versions and it's looking more like a low memory limitation as suspected.
Results
CM 10.1.3.1 - Exits shortly after launching African level which is more complex and resource hungry.
CM 10.0.0.0 - Same as 10.1.3.1
CM 9.1.0 - Can play through a few African levels but still randomly exits so not 100% but best so far. When it does play it performs surprisingly well.
CM 7.2.0 - Unable to download due to Google Play reporting not compatible plus app does mention that it requires Android 4.0+. Avoiding side loading from questional sources.
Trying CM 11 preview next since the claim to fame with Kit Kat 4.4 is that it's suppose to work well on devices with low resources.
Gingerbread can give you an extra 50MB at most, but I doubt that's enough for Dead Trigger 2. It could be beyond our phone's ability hardware-wise.

Maybe CM7 will give you enough space, but games like that are too space and GPU intensive for older devices like the Epic.
I know this question was asked many times before, but last topic I found is almost an one year old. I tried some ICS ROMs somewhere in 2012, but none of them weren't so stable, optimized and with such gaming performance as GB. There were many FC's, touchpad support was mostly bad and so on. Meanwhile there come JB and I hope that nowadays situation is much better then before. I use about 6 months Gin2, before I used AuroraPlay and before Aurora NXT roms. There weren't much reason to upgrade from GB, but last time there are more and more games and apps that I would like to try but can't cause they are only for 3.0+/4.0+.
So I'm looking for rom, doesn't matter if ICS or JB:
1) Full touchpad support like GB - I don't know if there is any such rom, but I hope for it;
2) Performance close to GB - I want play XPO games and emulators (PSX, N64)
3) Good battery life - 2 days when I don't play any games and phone is most of the time in standby or max playing music (on Gin2 3 days is no problem)
4) Percentage battery and on/off tools in notification area
