I have been using Omega Rom from version 8 up to version 18, then switched to ProBam, then Pacman, and now I'm back on Omega 19, giving the "official" 4.3 a shot.
I have tried many many settings and kernels to get this game run without a lag.
So far, I have seen no lag when using performance governor while playing for a few minutes (no overclocking the CPU or GPU) that was it...
Every other setup gives lag, more or less. The second best setup would be pegasusq governor, not much changes when overclocking CPU or GPU, or both.
Using a stock kernel is also not bad, but lags every now and then. (not dependant on Rom)
But I want to get the sound settings from trickster mod for example, so I feel like I need a custom kernel with my Rom of choice.
So, does anyone have a good setup that matches performance governor, but does not stick permanently to maximum CPU load?
I don't care about battery life, so I need a good performing setup.
(Just on a side note: when people say "there is no lag at all when scrolling through my homescreens" then I can only think that this should be normal with ANY setup. And I never had any lag while scrolling through my homescreens, except while I was using my HTC Hero...)
I would very much appreciate if someone with the same goal could help me out, or someone knows the default settings of the stock kernel...
Or is this whole idea just utopic, because the game is badly coded?

Does anyone know how to over clock you're DI to say 1.2? Thanks for any help.
You first need to root your phone, then install a kernel that is compatible with whatever rom you are using, then you need to install an OCing app like SetCPU and adjust accordingly.
I'm rooted running the 2.2 RUU and I have set cpu. So do I just need a kernal? Which one?
i reccomend King Kernel bfs #4, best freaken kernel ever... its located... here
so when i install this kernal is it ok to just bump the cpu speed up to 1.2? are there any guides to do this?

A lot of factors come into play when you start overclocking, every rom will respond differently.
The first thing to do before anything is to do a complete nandroid back up.
When overclocking keep in mind that the more you overclock the more chances you have of making your system unstable.
I have experimented a quite a bit and I have found that the King Kernal #4 seems to work well for me and at 1.2 it seems to be pretty stable. Any higher than that and my phone will sometimes re-boot itself for no apparent reason.
Again, your rom may handle things different so experiment and see what works best for you.
And remember - Do a complete backup first!
I'm using the number 4 kernal and it only goes to 1.19 is this what you mean by 1.2? I have to keep mine at 1.1 ghz at 1.19 my di gets unstable
Ya that's as high as they can oc these chips. I can only get to 115 safely 119 just crashes. But the charging experience will be better than stock with the BFS #4.

Could you guys please tell me what your settings for setcpu are?
I want better battery life and a faster cpu but im noticing that my phone almost needs a wake up time when i come out of screen off.
Thanks so much

If you are experiencing slow wake up, try increasing the min cpu speed to something around 460. Better batt life and increased speed takes a lot of experimenting. Your OC speed might differ from others due to differences in the phones cpu. For example, I have never been able to oc to 1.19 without the phone freezing or rebooting. My phone can handle 1152 but 1113 is perfect. In my opinion, ROMs have something to due with best batt-speed combo. I am running Ruby 1.1.1 with a setcpu profile of Screen off=245 without any wake lag. Other ROMs I have tried had wake up lag at that speed profile.
My set up:
(ROM-ASOP) Ruby 1.1.1
King's #1 ASOP "I told you so"- only works with ASOP
With the ROM's "Gem" performance scaling setting off, I use setcpu to OC to 1113, min is 245. I have a profile set to SCREEN OFF = 384 max/245 min.
I haven't worried about battery life since I started using King's kernals (I've tried them all with every compatible ROM on xda). I have several posts elsewhere on XDA showing 12 plus hours on a single bump charge and heavy phone use. Good enough for me. Stock cpu speed plus Sense ROM seems slow to me now.....to each his own though.
I hope to get some help because i value the opinions of those on this forum. Currently i am running virtuous 2.7 with virt. kernal v2. I am rooted, s-off, 2.15.xx radio. I want performance without draining my battery. What are the best settings to use in setcpu?
I did try king's kernal #4, but it was rebooting. switched kernals this morning.
One other app I use in conjunction with SetCPU is MinFreeManager. This will readjust your free ram to a higher standard. But with SetCPU I have it at 1113/Ondemand with no custom profiles. One other thing I really don't set is the Set on Boot option. I don't know why but I do. So with SkyRaider Vanilla 3.0 RC3/ KingX Kernel #4/ and MinFreeManager my phone fly's. I can't say for certain what settings you need for your phone but 1113-1115 is preferred by "most" phones and keep the set on boot option off. I keep a Galaxy S live wallpaper running and pandora while browsing the web and no lag what-so-ever.
CyanogenMod 6.0.2 and KingX kernel #1 with the same setup runs almost as smooth.
Hope this helps you out.
Hey guys.
I wanted to know to get the best performance in the game, what steps do you go?
And what is the best ROM for the game? No matter the Jelly Belly 's or IceCream Sandwich, just tell me which are the best thing that I need?
For example,running the Batman, or Modern Combat 3
ROM and personalization capabilities of its beauty is not important to me. I just want to run games smoothly!
Please tell:
1 Android version that you use
2 Which ROM do you use?
3 Which kernel do you use?
4 Do you use (a) special program(s)?
5 and personal experience ....
6 What suggestions do you have?
The goal is to minimize the lag in games
Thanks
Very much

I wouldn't worry about the ROM. Just get a fast kernel with an overclocked GPU. Stable Trinity kernel has just been released in several overclock variations. Just use the fastest one that runs on your gnex without problems. Might try the 1420/384 or 1420/537. Then use Trinity Kernel Toolkit to turn up the minimum CPU speed one notch, from 307 to 6##. That makes more of a difference than overclocking the maximum CPU speed IMO. Experiment with different governor settings, too. The default (on-demand) is better for battery life than performance. Works on practically any Jellybean based ROM, and there's a version for ICS too. You can also play with the hardware overlay and force GPU settings in gnex developer section.
I agreee with strumcat. Kernel matters most, and Trinity is what I'm using now. And yeah, setting the governor and the min CPU will help.
Thank you!
You know?
I remember when Jelly bean was released, I tried Franco kernel & Trinity kernel on ice cream sandwich , both in frequency of 384 (or 386, can not remember) were stable, but at frequencies 512 (or higher) when running games, everything was corrupted and I could not play!
(Even the samurai against zombies!)
(I do not know this problem has recently been solved or not)
The problem is the ROM or the kernel?
(I am a novice in the use of kernel; Whether a particular adjustment would be done that I forget?)
Different phones are able to handle different amounts of overclocking. But I'd guess that the TNP1344-384-JB-STABLE Trinity kernel would work on most gnex phones without trouble. The 537 GPU has trouble on some phones but not others. So your experience was not unusual and doesn't indicate any inherent problem with the Trinity or Franco kernels. The higher speed kernels aren't really for everyday use.
hey buddy!!!
u know what's my setting for playing
i've heard some people can OC their GIO to 921MHz stable, but on my gio it can't even get stable on 883Mhz. on 864MHz is somewhat stable but i still get hung or FC randomly, im super stable at 844MHz.
Why does my phone can't be OC like them other guys?
Not all devices are made exactly the same. Processors can behave differently as do the batteries and other hardware.

is there nothing i can do? i've tried many ROMS, on some i can get to 921 for a few seconds, but still the same. will changing kernel help?
Why not stop overclocking ? Just find a very fast rom and then you can save the overclocking , hence the instability and hotness and draining battery. That way you will have longer life on your Gio.
L.E. : just change the minimum frequency to 245 and refrain from using roms that are heavy right now , like CM 10.1 , try anything based on gingerbread like Adrenaline or Enhanced 2.3.6 or DebianDroid for example , or AOSP ICS wich i find very fast.

well currently im using AOKP milestone 6 CM9 based, i use conservative governor 245-844MHz, installed adrenaline engine 4.4, and pim my rom and set my OOM and LMK to medium settings. battery is drained only when im using data or playing games obviously. actually this ROM is superb for me performance wise, its just, i feel like i can squeeze a bit more of it for playing games you know. its like i see this slight lagging and i thought if only i could use a little more CPU power, the lag will be gone
Even you can overclock a 1st gen AMD Duron to 2Ghz with liquid nitrogen, it just doesn't make sense doing it
AW: [Q] OC problem
i can oc my cpu to 960mhz but i think it makes no sense... you don't feel the extra speed in normal use only in benchmarks... my cpu is set to 480mhz because it's enough for every app i am using (facebook, whatsapp, xda, browser and so on).
So I have found that recently every kernel I try to over clock with will cause bad performance on my phone. I am judging this based on benchmarks which should improve when you over clock (I know benchmarks aren't everything, just using them to compare). Every time I over clock to 1.89 it automatically reboots no matter what kernel or rom I am running. No one else in the kernel thread has this issue. If I run benchmarks with the max clock anything above the stock 1.5Ghz makes my benchmark performance absolutely drop. I have tried:
-multiple kernels and ROM combinations
-multiple CPU managers (ROM toolbox to CM performance control)
-multiple bench markers
Did I somehow destroy my CPU on higher clocks somehow?
And I know I don't need OC for good performance, I am just wondering what's up here. It wasn't always like this.
It's not necessarily anything you did. Not all devices are created equally. Some phone can run at 2.1GHZ and get amazing battery life. You just got dealt a bad phone that doesn't over clock well.

Yes, if you go over 1890Mhz your phone will restart or get stuck in a bootloop. As the person above said is right. Some phones can go up to 2000MHz and some can't. My Gs3 can overclock to 1890 but I keep mine at 1809.
1. Benchmark apps have no use at all.
Its literally just numbers thrown at you. They have no reflection on real world performance.
2.No one phone is the same. Your phone maybe able to go up to 1.8 with out an issue, but other phones might not even make it past 1.7 I even know of a GS3 that runs at 2.1Ghz with out a problem.
3.OC isn't really needed on an S3 if you're having lag issues or anything Odin back to stock and start again.
I personally run my S3 at 1.1Ghz.
I use custom kernels to under clock and not over as over clocking can drain your battery. Your phone will always reboot past 1.8 regardless of the kernel. That's just how your phone works.

I don't understand why stock based, even if modded have lags already after some hours... but why the cm based not????
i tried all modded rom stock based with same results on ver. 32gb and 16gb. the same problem in my friend's phones.....
what has cm based for solve this problem?
thanks
Stock based ROMs got much more apps than CM12 (stock based ROM zips are 4 times bigger than CM ROM zips), therefore it gets cluttered.
Easiest way to get rid of lag in stock rom is to replace LG's keyboard with an alternative keyboard. Also change governor, interactive is worst out there, laggy as hell. I prefer conservative.
You can also try out many stock based kernels on forum. They got better performance and battery life.
can you help me to find a stock based rom and a kernel to solve this problem? i tried novastock, cloudy and others... also kernel gabriel but perhaps without correct settings... always lag! thanks
i'm using gabriel kernel with alucard governer and alucard hotplug. max frequency scaled down 4 times to 1728, reaally gets rid of lags, battery and overheating issues for me. if you want you can scale it up by a little bit but I think alucard governor is really good
I use Cloudy 2.5 with Cloudy's kernel, set to conservative governor and adjust Read Ahead Buffer Size to 4096. I noticed that with buffer that high the essential apps open instantly, without the white midscreen.
Sometimes when I'm bored I restore backup to CM12 and the performance is pretty much the same, except stock ROM got launcher that crashes a lot lately, but that is LG's fault, not developers.
Because LG applications and services seems not optimized for the device
