[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... =\

Gloft Games problem on CM9 - device not supported or not downloading

Hi,
As i own legally bought from gloft store two games: Nova 3 and Asphalt 7 HD, after installing CM9, Nova is saying device is not compatible, and Asphalt does not even download files, like there was no files for my phone...
I think problem might be in showing up phone info or something, because even on Google Play its saying Sony Pro or Sony Pro Plus instead of MK16i like before..
Any fix to above?

could of downloaded the .apks
Gaming on ICS is not a good option due to issues, but if u are a gamer use MooDeD 90.7 or Xperia Ice Bean 4.0.4 [Jellybean 4.1] anyway try re-flash CM9 always works!
and if Asphalt is not downloading the files through the phone, then manually download them from ur PC and place them in your Asphalt data folder (what ever its called)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268128 compatible gameloft games

As far as i know, Asphalt 7 downloaded from their store is "blocked", i cant see links to download on PC. And anyways, i had files on my microSD from "before flashing" CM9 and it was saying they were broken and need to dl them again. So i deleted all Asphalt 7 data from card, reinstalled it from their store, and still same prob - its not downloading.
But i was playing on ICS, but "stock" soft with root, now on CM9 its just not working. And both of games are not listed on topic you linked, on compatible list nor uncompatible/untested, so they didnt even think to try running them.
Also MooDeD and Xperia Ice Bean seems to be not ported to my MK16i
Can i change something in my phone to get it reporting as MK16i like before, or it must be "sony pro" or "sony pro plus" on CM9?
Edit:
I just changed build.prop to Sony Ericsson MK16i and asphalt started downloading. After it finish, ill try out nova 3
Edit2:
I've sent also message to gloft, and they sent me Spiderman for free to test if there is an APP or phone problem. But funny thing is, it started downloading files as "sony pro"

[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.
