[solved] Need for speed - most wanted freezing - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I bought NFS: MW few days ago and it was running fine on sammy's stock 4.1.2. I decided to flash custom rom to get better performance, but the game freezes my phone shortly after starting the race. Audio is stuck as well and I can only turn it off by holding power or removing the battery. Those are the roms I tried so far, it freezes on all of them the same way.
Cyanogen 10.1 - nightly (latest) (CM's kernel)
Cyanogen 10.1 - nightly (latest) + Dorimanx 9.41
CM-10.1.3-i9100 (stable) - default kernel
CM-10.1.3-i9100 (stable) - Dorimanx 9.41
Sentinel Rom 4.80 (default kernel)
Sentinel Rom 4.80 + Dorimanx 9.34
Sentinel Rom 4.80 + Dorimanx 9.41
I tried turning on Force GPU Rendering and I tried "Disable HW overlays" in dev. options. Any other ideas?

This is called "The Mali Bug" . All CyanogenMod ,and ROMs based on that have it.That means on heavy GPU load,like NFS,it will simply freeze,no matter what kernel you are using.All CM 10,1 and 10.2 are bugged.Your options are:
- go back to stock 4.1.2 ROM,or stock based
- use an older CyanogenMod (CM 10 and older doesn't have this problem.)
- Carbon ROM is the only non stock based ROM without Mali bug.You can try it.

Some ROMs have a base code to programming, TouchWiz per example give support to Samsung apps, and this apps can't run on other ROMs. In case of heavy games like NFS, which have a specific programation to use all HD potencial of the hardware, they may use this base to make game run faster and clean. Maybe this explain why NFS can't run in custom ROMs.
I read some ROM threads which said in the post NFS isn't compatible when someone ask about game compatiblity...
Sorry about any mistakes if i wrote something wrong. English isn't my natural language

Thank you for letting me know about "The Mali Bug". I will try Carbon ROM since I am already flashing/wiping and if I don't like it I'll get back on stock.

[Q] Dual booting JB with Dorimanx

I've never tried dual booting before (im still a very lite noob user of my phone) but i'd like to give it a try. I currently have Neatrom Lite 4.0 with Dorimanx 7.38 (i think thats the latest?) and i'd like to installing either another Sammy based ROM such as AllianceROM or an AOSP/AOKP (i still dont know the difference) such as Resurection Remix or JellyBam.
I read this guide and it seems easy enough but aftre doing a search i also found this thread which report problems with JB and Dorimanx dual booting.

Is the same thing with me ROM (with Dorimanx 7.38) and the CM10.1. I think the leak of Samsung isn't compatible with the dual boot.

Thanks
7.40 is latest. http://dorimanx.shine.sk/
Can't dual boot with NeatROM JB for now.
You can dual boot 2 ICS ROMS (NeatROM UHLPZ & something else) using Dorimanx 5.92
*NeatROM* Its Neat, and its a ROM!
Same issue here...
[Almost] Same issue here:
Phone: SGSII I9100
Kernel: Dorimanx 7.44
1st ROM: CM10.1 (2013 Jan 28 build). Boots perfectly
2nd ROM: Omega ROM 19.1 (2013 Jan 23 build). Loops....

Dorimanx 9.4.2 link please!!!!

Hi there,
I wanted to play games and since JB 4.2.2 roms are bugged with the new gfx driver and that games crash or freeze the phone after a few seconds or minutes, I switched back to RootBox 3.2 based on CM 10.0 JellyBean 4.1.2
Now I'm searching the good old Dorimanx 7.4.2(and not 7.42) version that had the best battery usage I never saw and good stability, but I'm not finding any download link all over the web
Dorimanx 8.xx and 9.xx don't work with this version, I think dorimanx 7.50 wasn't fully stable and don't have that good battery life neither.
I think Dorimanx 7.4.2 would be the very best for this 4.1.2 AOKP rom, please help me find it!
Thank you
Dorimanx dev link

There's no link for 7.4.2 out there but it's all right, I'm gonna give a try to RootBox 3.8 based on CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2 with OLD Mali V1 drivers, I think that could work with all games without the crashes from Mali V2
You can find v7.xx in Here

[Q] A stable ROM for Galaxy s3

Greetings guys,
Can anyone recommend me a good and stable ROM without bugs for Samsung galaxy s3 . I had previously Cyanogenmod but the camera bug was really annoying.
Thank you.
CM11 M12 snapshot is most stable and bug free I know of. Maybe you should also try old UGNA5 stock rom. It's quite good but only 4.3. In other hand camera works flawlessly in this edition.

If you want Sammy stock I recommend QS stock 4.4.2 or Neat Rom stock 4.3.
But, if you want aosp lollipop, I recommend Euphoria. I try this for a week, it run more stable than CM 12.1. I just seen messaging app fc only. Solution is 3rd party sms app likes Textra, etc
These have balance of Performance, Rock stable and Battery friendly.
If you are looking for stock sammy then I'll suggest you Back to Noot 4.4.4 pure stock Rom by Arter97. Its ported from Samsung S3 LTE version since that version had 4.4.4 released by Samsung. With boeffla kernel V7.6
I am using this Rom for 3 or 4 months now since first day it was released. Rock solid and no artificial stuff just pure stock Rom.
Boeffla kernel 7.6 was released some two or three days back. So i can't say about it yet. But 7.5 version of the kernel was pretty solid.
And if you are looking for something stock in android 4.4.2 then I'll suggest QS Rom with latest boeffla kernel 6.xx. its ported from Samsung Note 2 and is a pretty good work. Stable and trouble free. I moved from this Rom to Back to Noot 4.4.4 as ofcourse it has more latest android.

Does the camera work also in CM11 M12 snapshot?
depends on what you for looking for in a rom
The issue of roms is like fleets of vehicles. They both gas and they cause accidents.. For me I would opt for a well known Rom like touch wiz based for stability purposes and cynogen based for fancy and style. Going on a Rom that is new is both fun and classic but using well researched roms is peaceful.. you would never got the n00t way since I had the latest version 9 unable to pic signal and crashed imei.. efs. ... I suggest hypermax for speedy phone ..... roms are like cars.... you always admire what u don't have. Do more practicals to discover your taste. ... For me am on carbon. ..

Kernel for 5.1 lollipop

Does anyone here know if there is a i777 compatible kernel for the galaxy s2 i9100 5.1 lollipop roms . I have tried using Shift- Eternal- lollipop kernel. It was compatible with the i9100 5.0 lollipop CM Resurrection_remix ROM, but I have not been able to get it to work with the 5.1 release.. I have tried replacing the boot image file from cyanide L 5.1. It boots but there is no wifi or Mobile data.

No, sorry. @rogersb11's kernel is pretty much the only game in town now. It's possible (purely speculative) that you've run into problems because he builds his own kernel instead of CM's, and RR is basically CM with added features so you would need a pure CM kernel to port.
Again, that's a guess, as that's how it used to work. He's posted an update to his rom; did you try pulling the kernel from that update?
Steve, thanks for taking the time to reply. I was afraid that was the case. Rogerb11 first 5.1 release was without his lollipop kernel. he stated that he was having problems with his kernel with wifi. I tried porting that kernel and I believe that it just boot looped. His second release with his kernel booted, but then I experienced problems with wifi and mobile. Hopefully he will release a 5.1 standalone kernel that can be ported over to the i9100 ROMs.
The truth is I have not been able to find a stable lollipop rom yet for my phone. The closest was resolution remix 5.02. and I was wanting to try the 5.1 version. Will keep checking the forum. Thanks again

Need a good rom i93000

im using LOS14.1 and i have an issue like when im using the phone if someone call me the call screen come after 5-10 secs or sometimes i cant play videos until i reboot my phone , if there is any rom 5.1 - 7.1 that is smooth and battery freindly enlighten me please
Just flash latest cyanogenmod 11 with boeffla kernel or some touchwiz 4.4 ROM. Android 4.4 is by far the most stable version for the i9300.
CM 12.1 also works but it is a bit slow and some apps like greenify cause a bootloop on the ROM.
