[Q] Fastest ROM for 3D games - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which rom do you consider the fastest when it comes to playing 3D games? The speed goes up with 2.2 or 2.3 roms, but theyre not capable of flawless gaming (HW related, i know). The main problem are HD games (Miami Vindication, Fast 5 and Asphalt 6) which are the best...
Please dont mention roms wihout ability to take pics/video, or MIUI roms - i really hate their iphone like look, its like having awesome ferrari but covered in feces - no offence to their devs
Currently, no more than a few days, using TripNArc, but the camera doesnt work a with latest version (0.8) i cant call, so i probably go back to stock 2.1...

Wolf's CM 6.1.3 for me plays A6 no problem, as well as Zenonia 2.
It's a very speedy 2.2 rom, has multitouch and camera.

WB 3.16 rom.
I play Quake 2 with stencil shadows enabled.
No lags, no crashes.

Im on TripNArc 0.5 (0.9 is out, so im gonna try)
Quadrant - 1202
Linpack - 37.127 MFLOPS
but Miami Vindication lags still, even if not that much
as i read the wolfbreaks cm has fast battery drain problem, but i may try it
Would a custom kernel help increase the performance?

Angry birds for Hero

Has anyone been able to run angry birds somewhat smoothly? I tried it on a 2.2 rom a long time ago and it doesnt seem to make it run any faster than a sense 2.1 rom. Would really like to play it while we wait for rovios lightweight version
Check out the video posted in THIS THREAD (Click me). This guy is running angry birds perfectly... next to no lag! Hes using Cyanogen 6.1 Final...
Hm in the video it says its version 1.3.5, not the latest 1.4.2. Which is probably why it was running pretty good. Plus its the first 2 levels, which isnt laggy to start with. Thanks for the reply tho
It's running on the Cyanogen 6.1 Final a lot better than on the original 2.1. At least on my hero
It's not perfect but alright
try angry birds seasons, it runs a lot better on my Hero than the main version, hardly any lag at all
On 2.2 roms with a cpu at 691 it runs flawless!

Really? Can u tell me what rom and kernel u use?
I tried angry birds seasons and its still pretty laggy. Only version 1.3.5 of regular angry birds runs ok. Maybe ill try overclocking when playing
Rom doesn't matter. As long as its a 2.2 rom with Flykernel @ 691 or 710mhz and Jit enabled.
The CPU speed is the bottleneck of our Hero's

Restart loop on ROM TW & Q about game compatibility

Hi every!
a friend of mine gave me his X10 cuz he had many problems with it, mainly it was slow.
now the most important thing for him is games and speed (mainly touch responsiveness)
one of the games he wants to play is Assassin Creed, I saw a video on Youtube of someone playing this game and he uses TW ROM,
when i try to flash that ROM on my friend's device in boots and then few secs later restarts, over and over.
i cant figure why it happens, as im using the right BB. help!
besides this, i tried many other ROMs, but Assassin Creed worked on neither of them, i would think that this game is not meant to run on this device but i saw that Youtube video...
last thing, i loaded EWJET ROM, was amazing, everything was really fast and touch was really responsive compared to stock and other roms, but in quadrant it got only 1000 pt, while in TripNMIUI ROM it got 1500 pt, even tho it felt much slower and less responsive.
why is that?
Thanks!!!

I think just there, you solved your own problem.
Is Quadrant that important to your friend?
Does he want a fast phone for gaming
or a phone that scores high in Quandrant?
The thing with Quadrant is that even though is commonly used,
it's easily "cheatable" and bottom line is, it should be used as a reference
and not as an evaluation point for user experience.
Oh well, I thought that quadrant measures FPS which basically tells you how well games will run, but then, high FPS with ****ed up touch is pointless...
Thanks for your answer

It does measure FPS but it's only a part of the tests conducted,
so the results do not mean anything FPS-wise.
And FPS are kernel-related, indepedent of custom ROMs,
so you could try using Z's latest kernel that raises the FPS to about 48-50 max.
Thanks very much for your help, I am actually using zkernel which is really good...
so i guess no idea why the restart loop happens, or anything about games compatibility.
anyway, u made me wounder... you said that i can use zkernel...
is there a way to flash only kernel to use with specific ROM? or that isnt a good idea/possible at all.
Update:
At the end I loaded MIUI ROM 1.7.01 with zKernelbb67
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152555
pretty good ROM, runs pretty good, with it i installed chainfire3D from the market, and now all the games are working pretty good, so everything sorted out.

Glad you sorted it out! I also use MIUI with the zkernel overclocked and games run really smooth!
Then again I mostly play Cut The Rope and Angry Birds (2D games)! LOL!

Boost HD Game Performance?

Is there any way we can play higher end games on the X10 without lag? Ive seen people on the forums say that some games suddenly stopped working. Games like Backstab, Asphalt 6, NOVA2, Dungeon Defenders, etc. But when I play these games it is pretty laggy. Am I missing something? I am on WB's Stock GB with Speed&Hotfix 005. My quad score is around 12xx
Edit: So after digging around the forums a bit, should I change to WB's 009 rom and use a custom kernel (I heard goro's 360 is the best?). Or should I stay with WB's Stock GB and flash goro's kernel? Which is faster? Which is more stable?
Thanks

No custom kenrels for 2.3.3 for now.
Custom kenrels overclock our cpu so game performance increases i can easyly Play asphalt 6 on 2.2 with custom kenrel.
But game crashes on loading a race on 2.3
Did you know you can play some of the nvidea tegra games on our x10s such as samurai vengeance 2

[Q] Most Stable working Rom

Everyone's got an opinion on the "Best" rom, I just wanted to see which rom the forum thinks is the most stable with everything working.
I've tried lots of them and cant decide.
Obviously, it is Wolfbreak's rom. hands down.
T.A.E.M rom is great i think its better then wolfbreak's rom
Sent from my X10i or HD2 or Milestone XT720 or Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Galaxy S2
In my opinion, on the sum of parameters, now the best ROM is ThGo2, v10
MIUI is best...
I have found Oodie's CM ROM has been great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384147
Battery life is good as is the stability.
for further stability, any stock se 2.3.3 rom ( locked and unlocked bootlaoder)
custom:
miui- oodies light version, also i used tripndroid rom which was pretty stable as well..u can find this one in modaco
cm7- zmods 2.3.5

ohh you're damn right. for me, that is the best of the best. REALLY THE BEST.
@deckerm, if you want a recommendation from me, try ThGo2. There is a new version, the v13, but a bootmanager kernel needs to be fixed. but there's a stable version of the rom, just look at it, and you will look happy.
but for the majority of the people here in the forum, Wolfbreak's rom is the one.
but for me, hands down. ThGo2 rom. ^^
I like EWJet, its super fast and everything is working great!

Stock rom: Wolf, ThGo2 and ... ----- stable and can be fast with custom kernel
cm rom: FXP is ****ing fast, MIUI has greate UI.
For long term stability, Wolf is the rom. T.E.A.M. is good, too. Currently using prime, no problems except the ones I create. Any rom must settle some and although our phones are X10, they can react differently to the same rom. For your poll, Wolf will probably be on top.
I totally agree!! For me Wolf's Rom gives me best stability & fastest Gingerbread Rom I tried so far!!!
Only thing I regret is not having anything to flash no more :'(
Great Rom!!!!

I like TEAM.
I started to have stability problems with Wolf's rom after 1.5 mo of use w/o flashing (stuck on start-up after reboot, stuck in airplane mode). I switched over to TEAM for the last 3 mo. and no stability problems and speed is good. Then again everyone's phone reacts differently due to settings & apps, so I say try one, and if it doesn't work, try another.
MIUI Prime for me the best rom I had before. Very stable, nice and long battery life (about 3-5 days with 2G only, synch off, brightness 40%).
Oodies CM7 for me. Great battery life and smooth running.
wolf's ROM does not really give the best battery life possible.... I'm still looking for a ROM that can give best battery life.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Probably not but I don't think that any Rom can make my battery last much longer!! My battery normally lasts about a day, while heavy usage!! I Also calibrated it.
If you want your battery to last for a long time, I'd suggest to buy a larger battery, that's just my opinion.

Totaly agree im a cyanogenmod guy because i like the twaeks and extras and overall i don´t like wolfs WLAN instability for me again and again WLAN rips of deactivate its selfs and so on... additional if you using ttorrent you can forget wolfs rom also MUIU Prime because WLOD.
Needles to say that Wolfbreak and Oodie did a ****ing great job on this rom´s but i don´t like how MUIU looks like Iphone or BADA. Because why did we buy an android device? because it has to look like ab Iphone? Well...
FXP 7.2 is very stable and if ya a gamer... well the quadrant score for me with 245- 1037 with governor Interactiv was over 1300
many great games run smooth for example: Dead speace for android, Thirdblade and asphalt 5 runs great lags are possible yeah but very rare
Hit thanls if i helped

Well, hard to beat stock on stability

AOSP/AOKP graphics performance low?

I have switched from samsung LP7 rom to AOSP (F1 GNex) and then AOKP (hydrogen).
and I really love the overall UI smoothness on both, however I did notice that 3D graphics performance is not as good as in the samsung ics rom.
This is very noticeable (low frame rate lag) in games like Modern Combat 3 and ShadowGun..
Anybody knows the reason why?
Note: I did not underclock/undervolt the cpu or gpu
same issue here on all AOSP and AOKP roms i think there is real problem in GPU driver in Aosp OR screen refresh rate and until now not fixed i really hate the fps drops in games i feel like i have a **** device not sgs2
btw if u run antutu when it come in 3d graphic test(knight) in start of test the fps get stuck at 51 fps like 10-15 second then it goes up and in nena mark 2 when u look in the fps meter u can see the fps gose up an down like hell in all aosp roms and the test lag as hell the u will got 46 on sammy rom the test run so so smooth and the fps much better no fps drops and u will got between 52-54 fps
this issue is keeping me on sammy rom but i really like the Aosp and Aokp i really hope it will fix soon
Agreed.

idk there is many things to fix in Aosp roms and most impotent thing is the laggy 3d thing that issue keep away from cm or aokp roms but i really like them
u can ask codeworkx for fix but he will ignore u and i think he is busy with i9100G too as i read in cm thread
btw there is problem with ram too
in sammy rom i got more than 1070 points in aosp only 890 in quadrant i got more than 3200 in ram points in aosp 2000
so for now sammy rom is best in every thing performance-stability-for games - etc
in GB the Aosp roms was slightly better in every thing than sammy rom but idk what happened in ics it become the opposite or maybe sammy but some magic in there ics roms

maybe you can get driver sources from samsung so codeworkx can work on them
other wise you have to live with it
sadly samsung doesnt provide sources besides kernel
in fact no manufacturer does
which is the biggest drawback in aosp rom or phones like s2
but the advantages out weight the problems aosp ftw
what the hell the thread moved to Q&A thanks for mod now no one will see it
So it's a driver problem I assume ?
AOKP & CM9 roms are slow compare to AOSP & Sam roms. I usualy get 59.8 fps on antutu benchmark at knights where as on AOKP & CM9 roms it doesn't go beyond 54-56 fps. IMO try 4.0.3 roms instead of 4.0.4 ! You will feel the difference.
And one more thing try Siyah 3.0.0rc1 - 3.0.1. (Device gets quite hot but it gives you nice fps on HD games like MC3,Shadowgun, Asphalt 6).
I know AOKP & CM9 have lots of nice tweaks but they are not yet optimized & have some touch problems likr when you swipe left it goes right etc )
