[Q] Which GB rom and kernel are the best for gaming? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My question is the same as the title, but I'm kind of confused as to which rom for GB is for gaming. I know about Xperia NXT Gaming edition and Bane of Speed, but I just can't figure out which would run the best. The same thing goes for with the kernels. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it muchly. Thanks!

im also trying to figure this out, lupus GB is giving me a bunch of issues...

what types of game that u really want to play if u get a gaming rom?

I agree, there are way too many roms and kernels for the xplay, even though i was pretty happy with my debloated stock rom, it still didnt had recovery or the ability to overclock/tweak so i decided to first try a kernel: doomkernel v14. It is only the kernel so you can keep everything (apps&data) including the rom and still tweak it. I also installed V6 supercharger script but this might be too complicated to configure for most. So i suggest, first try doomkernel v14, it gives you recovery so you can flash any rom you want if you are still not satisfied with it.

Like, emulation and other straining things. I'm also thinking about overclocking and getting an extended battery too, but I don't want it to explode from overclocking. I'm thinking about trying 1.6 ghz at first and trying it at 1.8.

Any suggestions from anyone?

Ultimate HD v6 is the best one I ever tryed, you can easily get 150mb free ram with whatsapp and messenger open, when you use greenify is 213mb. And also this rom have great battery life even overclocked at 1,2 , this ROM is good for daily use and gaming(emulators and android games in general).

i flashed that kernel just last week, and yeah at first its laggy but when i think the engine heats up it will boost your phone, i also complained about laggyness to yewsiong since he was the one who got the tutorial for flashing a kernel, i even ask him how to revert my kernel back to normal, but after a few hours i tried again and its smooth, it lags a bit but not as laggy as the stock kernel. maybe there are some apps or you put too much on your phone memory that causes the lag.

hello guys,
i've been successfully flashed my kernel this morning, from cow kernel into the xxlm8 kernel. But i got a same problem like fayosi said, this kernel makes my phone run very laggy. I'm not very shock with this condition coz i've already read this thread before, and referring to the kemaro30 explanation above, it will laggy in the beginning. So i let my phone and wait with very patience.
But now, it's almost 6 hours since i flashed this kernel but still no improvement progress in my phone performance. Still very laggy
how long should i wait?? or, should i re-flashed my kernel?? any ideas or solution maybe..??
thanks n regards

Its not laggy anymore like 18hours after also try to turn the phone off take out battery then put in on again------if that dont work you can wipe cache and dalvik cache. My 3d games does not lagg anymore after this xxml8 is working fine now.

maybe you should check your cpu or use some application that can tweak your phones performance,, btw i use ram manger pro and always set to balanced. i also use advanced task manager to autokill apps that the phone really doesn't need.. and i use stock rom, never tried on other rom. and one more thing, i think my phone took about a day or more than 24hrs before i notice that its not laggy anymore.
here's what i experienced before to let you know http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26780650&postcount=53

Hi guys, first thanks for your some ideas n solutions to me.
And after read both of comments above, i think i know what is cause this problem.
I found that i was using the powersafe governor as my main governor, really my bad at all !!!
Now, with ondemand governor it runs very smooth with no lag, and tomorrow i will give my review about this kernel.
Once again, many thanks for your help guys :thumbup:

[Q] TDKR and NFS Most Wanted problem

I have a problem with both games installed, I need to install chainfire3d so that NFS MW would work (black screen problem), but when I install chainfire3d, TDKR shows graphical problems, I tried messing with the per-app setting but still no progress
What should I to so I can keep both games without switching chainfire3d on and off? thanks in advance
In case you need my device's details:
R800i
ROM: NXT 1.3 LE
Kernel: DooMKernel

You are using a very good gaming rom and one of the best kernels out there. I dont think there is a need for chainfire. When you enable chainfire it tries to reduce the graphics for better performance but in TDKR it will only mess it up.
I dont really know what the problem is. Have you tried overclocking??
I use chainfire so that I can play NFS most wanted, I'm getting the black screen problem (only UI and taillights are visible) if I don't use chainfire with the powerVR plugin
Solution? Use de-bloated stock ROM. Nuff said.

Excuse me, is there a MORE debloated stock rom than NXT LE???
I admire the talents of our devs but I just don't trust custom ROMs. Debloated as they may be, devs usually add features that are not to my liking. If you ask TLRTheory, he'll tell you the same... That the best ROM is stock ROM. My point here is that to be able to properly play games without having to add mods and tweaks time and again is to play using a stock ROM debloated to the brim so as to boost performance.

As much as I respect tlrtheory an like his viedeos on YouTube I would have to disagree with you both nxt le is the fastest rom I've ever used more so than a debloated stock
But tbh it does all come down to personal opinion
And the joy of of being able to tweak stuff to get Better performance and even messing up really bad and having to start over again is good learning but again everything comes down to opinion and preference

[Q] ARC S - 1st OTG , 2nd Games Quitting

Hello to all,
Please Help me
I'm getting several issues in My ARC S.
AT this moment i'm using the last arcknight kernel with OC at 1.6 Gzh , for my Rom i'm using Ultimate HD 2.0 updated to the last version 2.4 .
1st - I'm having problems trying to make work the OTG cable in my device, I already upload several drives and app's to try to make it work without success untill now.
2nd (Main Problem for me) - Other issue is during 3D games as several other members as in this forum the app just simply STOP and quit the Game to the main screen.
I new user at XDA, but i already have this kernel in my mobile for 1 mouth and the kernel for 1 week. Until now i'm very happy with the work developed here, but i'm facing this two problems that i would like to solve.
Keep with the good working that you all are doing here.
Best regards from Portugal to all (sorry for my English)
For the otg, look at kernel thread for flashable zip
That the games quit can be a issue because of kernel and oc to 1.6 ghz
2nd (Main Problem for me) - Other issue is during 3D games as several other members as in this forum the app just simply STOP and quit the Game to the main screen.

If you tried other kernels and the game still wouldn't work then this must be a problem with your rom. I'm on CM10 and this game plays flawlessly.

Games are working perfect flowing now =)
I install again the same ROM(Ultimate HD 2.0), but during the install setup, theres an option than now i choose something like: ``gaming mode´´ in time to have ``multitasking´´. Now everything is flowing perfectly in the menus, Games, etc. Very fast and stable ROM i recommend =) even for games
For the first issue of the OTG cable i will try with other kernel, also because this last one from ARCKNIGHT with the OC takes a lot of my battery life. Any suggestions of a good Kernel? My interests are life battery and gaming mode with good flowing, OC not is not very important for me.
Thank you to all.

your issue really is not with a specific rom but with a specific game, what i can advise you is to try different set ups, different governors, try with andreno boosters, or maybe try with gaming mode with boost my xperia app, its really hard to advise a rom for you my friend since i think your main goal is to optimized a game which is NFS. but hopefully trying out my suggestions could help you
I'm using AuroraPlay and feeling satisfied with it. It's fast, lightweight and the performance is great. However, don't expect to run heavy games without lags. You can't force a 2-year old android phone to play modern heavy graphical games

Which rom have the Best performance in XP.

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..
Sent from Xperia Play with Tapatalk 2 Pro
in my option gin2jellybean is best in xp and futures and everything
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.
