Hi all,
I've done a quick search around the Q&A and there are not many threads about the fastest rom for ICS. (Yeah don't be pissed with me for asking.) I need a rom that is fast and good for gaming. I tried KA20.1 and stock, but frankly i'm not too happy with the performance. Should I go for AOKP, and if so, are there on-screen buttons on the rom because I don't like it Thanks in advance.

Yea AOKP is a good choice Practically most of HD games can run on our phone AOKP has on-screen buttons, but there is always an option in rom control to enable/disable them. You can try I-scream too. Good choice for custom stock rom.
Use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666171&highlight=multitouch&page=3
It's an AOSP ROM by PolishBlood (group I think)
All other ICS ROMs I've tried had multi-touch issues. This is the only ROM without any of those AND you can play Max Payne Mobile on Max Settings with everything on at SMOOTH FPS!
Seriously dude. Use it. I am loving it.
use sos latest rom...
i'm using it so for its good.. 4.0.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663915
so really max payne mobile and it's issue of multi touch only works properly on Polish Blood becuse I really want to have option like wifi, brightness in status bar and actually I think best camera app Is this from Sony so there not any sony stock rom on which Max Payne don't have Multi Touch issue??
Install Chainfire 3d on any rom ... or buy it .... you'll be able to play all games without a glitch
actually on SOS rom I don't have this glitch that's really odd

Hello people the keyboard is terrible.... especially using dictionary.. i try better keyboard but I have same result.. anyone has any solution?? I want try with original android keyboard but I don't know install it...help me..
Thanks
in HTC keyboard turn vibration off and lag dissapears
Not really! The keyboard lags especially with sms application for me. It works perfectly with Email, market... ?!!
Eris lag then use Legend
You could try a vanilla rom like aHero or Vanillain, they run way smoother then the Sense roms.

same with me. i've tried all vanilla ROM. but sense run a lot smoother than it.
i hate sense but not find any good vanila rom yet.
the lag seems inherent of HTC kernels, that is one of the reasons cyanogen released his modded kernel... The behero legend build is fairly good with lag compared to others! Well I say that but soon as it starts to asterix a password then things get a bit freaky!
BeHero
Just download behero. The keyboard isnt laggy at all.. almost better than 1.5 firmware. Plus its based on the Legend.
Okay, I'm 15 i started getting into android about 5 mounths ago with my good'ol "Samsung galaxy ace" after using it for about 3 mounths i decided that i needed a higher res screen and a proc capable of playing most main stream games (GTA. Nova 2. Minecraft etc). So i bought my beloved neo for theses reasons:
1. 1GHz Proc
2. 265 DPI (854x480)
3. 512mb RAM
After about 2 mounths usage i can't seem to understand how all UI interactions are faster and smoother on my Galaxy Ace?
No matter what ROM (ICS or GB) with whatever kernel I can't get my neo to live up to the smoothness of STOCK Galaxy ace rom, let alone a tweaked rom.
It makes no sense to me how a phone with a faster and better proc and more ram can't achive the same smooth UI
If anyone can explain to me what i can do to improve UI smoothness or how UI scrolling smoothness works in roms etc THEN I BEG YOU TELL ME!
(IF ANYONE SAYS "Buy an Iphone" I WILL REMOVE THERE SCROTUM WITH A BLUNT SPOON)
Roms i've tried:
ALL ics rom (apart from miui) (ICS roms are WAY too laggy for usage)
Most gingerbread roms apart from:
SE tweaked (couldent get it working)
any MIUI (Y WOULD I WANT MY PHONE TO LOOK LIKE AN IPHONE APPLE ARE ****)
I have treid super charge on lots of roms, dont really see or feel difference to scrolling.
Currently im using Stock .62 as it is by fair the smoothest rom for neo.
Thanks for anyone who can point me in right direction or explain y UI isnt smooth.
Sorry for ranting, Josh. (moonytoonyking)
root and launchers
I dont know if this would help you but, have you tried installing replacement launchers? such as Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher EX? they have both smooth UI scrolling interface. Also smooth app drawer UIs. In fairness to Xperia Neo, It has smooth scrolling. Are you sure you are not running too much apps in the background which makes your device slower? Are you rooted? If you are rooted, then I bet you get control of your device, Disabling (unnecessary) background apps, taking control of your CPU/RAM. You could also install Chainfire 3d which would help you a lot in playing games (in terms of hardware enhancements)
Give us details about your mobile, and I mean details so we could help you out mate.
If you're looking for absolute smoothness go for cm7.2, but use other launcher than adw, it lags, at least for me.
Have you tried cm9? it is the fastest rom ive ever tried, i tweaked it for faster and battery friendly.
And its awesome mate.
Sent from my Xperia Neo using XDA
Have you ever considered about the fact that comparing to Neo,galaxy ace got a lower resolution.Anyway try removing bloatware and use a custom launcher like apex.

lol
There are loads of way to make your phone faster and smoother this is how I do it
1: Over Clock to the highest possible even tho it says recommended not to lol just wack it up lol
2: Memory Booster - I like this app just because ever 10 mins I set it up to boot to get ram back up
3: Launcher on ICS at the min so I been using Apex or Nova launcher on gingerbread I would use ADW or Stock
4: SD Maid - Clears all the junk that your phone make for you from internet and other apps
IPHONE IS THE BAIN OF ALL LIFE ..MY WIFE WANTS ONE I AM GONNA GET HER ONE JUST FOR THE FACT SHE CAN GIVE ME HER NEO AS ITS BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED UNLIKE MINE LOL
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
it's rather strange for you to tell me Neo's Scolling is laggy...
to me...it is more smooth than SII and iPhone 4... without root and mod.
U may try 3rd launcher like SPB Shell, AdW EX, Go EX and Launcher Pro.
Also, u may want to enable GPU rendering (HW acc.) of launcher
Hope these help...
I suggest you to use this ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570499 combined with Apex Launcher and NightElf kernel v1.0 RC2 lite...The only problem is that many games aren't optimized for ICS,but the UI it's way smoother than Galaxy S2 or even Galaxy Nexus,plus that the battery life is amazing (use setCpu to underclock the processor when screen is off,i'm using it @245-460 mhz w screen off,and 245-1024 mhz in normal use,and battery life is deffinitely improved (in stand-by it drained 1% in 5 hours).
Thanks for all the replies
I've tried a load of launchers my fav for GB being ADW and for ICS being Apex.
they work well and usaly improve smoothness. BTW i agree that neo is smoother than Gs2 (on stock) but not Galaxy Nexus, that is super smooth.
I have root.
Overclock helps to an extent but if rom is unsmooth it dosent do much.
Havent tried that I-scream ROM as i have found that all SEMC based ICS roms LAG really badly, however since you recomend it i will try. I have been reading up on things like swap and zram but im not sure if they will improve my speed much?
Again thanks for all the help I LOVE XDA'ers

Cm7.2 is kinda smooth at first but after i install my apps (i only have like 20) smoothness isnt good.
OH an yes the default adw with cm7.2 LAGS LIKE A MOTHER *****

If you still experience some lag, try turning off scrolling cache, force disable, on cm options.
I have about 30 apps i install and don't experience any lag.
Sort of glad to see i'm not the only one having issues with adw.

Not bad but stock .62 is smoother by alot still, shame i love ICS. I actualy found the AOSP rom to be the smoothest ICS rom but it has many bugs

You've used Apex Launcher? Because i know that stock launcher is very laggy.I'm currently using this rom with apex launcher and on-screen buttons,and i'm never going back to gingerbread.

Apex improved it alot, but still not smooth, cm9 amazes me its sooooos smooth but buggy and sturf dosent work.
the smoothness of the rom is always tied to the framework files sony didn't optimize it well in their ICS release....

i can't do it myself but back in the days when i had an x8 ginger bread was laggy on it and a guy called doixanh or something fixed it by optimizing the framework and it became very smooth silky smooth
FINALY: CM 7.2 (fxp17) with disabled scrolling cache Is SUPER SMOOTH im very happy, hopefuly cm9 will be this smooth when its done.

Thats the thing I really liked In your POST LOL
I am on MIUI 2.4.28 Its Amazing Highly Customizable,, But only Battery Drain Issue...
you should try the new aokp rom >>> incredibly smooth but still some problems to solve.
It have been a while since my bootloader was relocked,and now I will unlock it back to install some custom ICS firmware...can you suggest me some great ICS custom firmware?
stock rom 4.0.4 with messa kernel 1.6. its best in battery life time and performance or you can also try cm9 fxp 131 its almost stable rom

used real ics and well ucant play games in it as smooth as you can in cm9.0....... plus i encountered a weird BUG the time on my phone was different in the status bar in the lockscreen and on the clock widget i had.....
and i know the only reason going for that rom is the looks especially the gallery and the xperia s style... but still it is not the pro as in landscape mode almost everthing in it is distorted.....
yes real ics is just a modifies version of xperia stock ics with bugs

i have Sony Live with Walkman since about 5 months, and have been on stock ICS for some time.. finally im looking for a Custom ROM, that preferably gives me a good interface and improves performance.. after searching a little, i found the MIUI V.4 ROM to be the most attractive. does anybody reading this post have that?
i'd like to get a user's on opinion on its performance, plus would like to see some screenshots that i couldnt find as yet, messaging, main app drawer, settings etc needed.
should i go for it?
thanks
If what you want is performance in ICS, you should try DeliciousSandwich or Serenity (bootloader locked talking, that's what i am), i'm using Serenity atm works really really cool, and it's customizable

MIUI is a fast ROM and has very beautiful graphics... But their is no app drawer... It's good for playing games... But i suggest HASA or EXPEACER MIUI
coz of higher customizable settings
HASA MIUI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828637
EX MIUI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578109
or you can always try CYANOGENMOD :thumbup:
Sent from SMULTRON running CM9
Yes, definitely try miui. I'm a miui fan. No matter which rom i try, cm, aokp, pa, stock based etc, i always came back to miui.
Anyway if your phone bootloader is already unlock, try lasan's miui. Its the most stable miui of them all.
I reccomment sandy7's Hasa MIUI :good:
Great ROM
HASA MIUI is a great choice..stable and fast. average battery life i think
alright, im currently looking at Hasa Miui, as well as ExMiui. any more inputs on this?
I've Been Flashing Roms For A While, From ICS To JB 4.3.
I Like the Broad Amount Of Features And Customization Of Roms, Yet I Really Need Something That Will Work.
The 1st Rom That Did Work In The JB Side Of Things Was @bibhu059 's Complete JB Experience, Fast, No Annoying Blur At The Bottom Of The Screen In SD Video Watching For Youtube (I'm A Big Watcher Of Youtube Videos By The Way) And Sonys Stock Being Something I Like..
Then I Went Back To CyanogenMod With 10.2 By @DroidModderXtreme. Its A Good Experience And If I Decide To Go To Stock, Id Wait For A Stable Version Or Another Flavour Of 4.3 With His ParanoidAndroid Coming Soon.
So Basically I Need A Good User Interface Experience (I Hated Sonys JB), Fast And Smooth, And Fully Working Functions, Yet I'd Like To Be Able To Use A Custom Launcher (Being Action Launcher Pro As It Lets You Use Icon Packs And Has A Good Interface). Also, If I Were To Go Back To Stock, Id Still Be Rooting And Maybe Getting CWM..
What Do You Guys Think, Stock W/Root Or A Custom Rom. If You Think Custom Roms Are Better, Any Recommendations? Thanks.
