Hi everyone,
I recently have bought a Defy for me. I had it with official Froyo BLUR so I rooted it, installed 2ndInit, recovery and then CM7.2.0 Stable.
The trouble with me now is while playing games I am experiencing jitter/lag or sudden hicups. I have watched videos of people playing those games more than smooth on their MB525s.
Can some of you experienced flashers give me feedback on which rom is good with Battery life + 3D Acceleration? I am finding CM7.2.0 disappointing for this case.
Thank you for your time.
Try different ROM
Sometimes these people over-clock their CPUs to high (which is something not safe at all) I'm over-clocked to 1.1 Ghz (defy plus) and very stable smooth.
But first try different ROMs before staling on anyone
I am deciding on whether to buy an s4 or an xperia z1 ... I have watched gaming videos of the s4 and some games seem to lag (e.g. san andreas) while they work fine on the z1... And i read people complaining that the s4 is indeed laggy, not just games but in touchwiz and transition animations also.... are there fixes/updates that solve this 'lagginess' or is it still present till now?
lag in TW roms is a must...hehe, all TW roms lags, some lags more and some less, there will always be a tiny little of lag...sadly, about gaming its not TW problem, its more of optimizing the games for the cpu and gpu, if you look at galaxy s2 and s3 they plays gta sa without lag, but in S4 it lags a lot.....
is it the same thing on the exynos version? it's strange, galaxy s4 being the most popular smartphone at the time did not get optimized versions of games.
yes, its in every version, i my self have i9500 and even with TW custom roms it lags, cm based roms are a lot better in terms of speed, but they have some bugs so its not the best solution, miui rom is very good but they don't support it anymore, maybe later they will be back, i have TW based custom rom and i get angry when i want to use the phone quickly but don't have the needed speed......in the beginning of the next year i will be buying a new phone but its a bit of problem for me, i really want to have the NOTE 4, but i know that it will lag like the S4.....
I understand it lags in touchwiz interface but it does lag in games at well? the exynos version?
Lags
I got a S4 with a custom kernel. No lags so far, I got the International Variant, the GT-I9505 with the latest Firmware from Samsung. I debloated it by myself so maybe that could be the reason why it don't lags. My Ram is around 800MB when I use it normal. Greetings
it lags in games not because of TW, its because of bad optimization for the cpu and gpu....maybe if you flash cm based rom it will lag a bit less but still don't think for a second that its going to be smooth, its not only S4 problem, htc one m7 also have the same problem....and many more, for gaming you have to get an iphone......sadly....

Use this Xposed module:

This will probably fix your lag (only for TW). From what I read CM/AOSP roms also have better performance.

No it's probably because you have a custom kernel where the tweak is already applied.

Well than he can also flash a custom kernel. I can give him a link
No lag
I'm using stock 4.4.2 NG8 [open Europe] and there is no lag ever
lagged with me once but i found that an apk called [Galaxy Locker] causes this lag, the battery is kind of good and the overheating is almost fixed
while playing huge games Like [Modern Combat 5,Iron man, Assassin Creed Pirates] or even browsing.the max temperature my cell phone reached was 36.2 *C and it's great, while recharging it's only 31.2 *C
can't say much tw rom is full of bloatware..debloat the rom and you get smooth TW rom
hello guys, my father changed phones and left me the legendary htc hd2. so i started playing putting android on it so i can use it as a secondary device or as gps/media center in the car.
being a nexus user i know that android 5 is kind of bugged an possibly heavier than 4.4 that why i choose to install ChauTien SlimKat 4.4.4.
So my big question is: what rom (or kernel) do you recommend to install on the legend for best performance and/or battery life? is there any specific tweak that i should do to the device??
thank you in advance!

I just used the carbon rom (as far as im aware there only is one carbon rom for this phone) as i had it for long on my nexus and really like it. I tried quite a few roms but in reality on android you will always have long app launch times and some UI lag. In terms of absolute smoothness the WP 7.8 easily wins. Not a single bit of lag at all, only annoying problem is getting the thing activated to use the app store as i couldn't find a way to get into a chat with microsoft on their website(might just be the case like a lot of times, that i missed it somewhere really obvious). Avoid android 5 roms, the performance is horrifying. Tested android 6, and it is a little better but still i think that 4.1-4.4 roms are the best if you need android. On android 4.1-4.4 after the long loading of a app is done i found graphical performance quite okay and hill climb racing ran with only minimal lag every once in a while (totally playable), but didn't even get into the actual game on android 5. It also helps a lot to disable HW overlay and force gpu in developer settings as it gets rid of most UI lag.
Hello people, good night. Galaxy S4 I9505, have good hardware and it's good smartphone, lately I've test some games to see the results on our S4. On TW many games runs without problem, on oddworld and Vainglory in maximun quality settings have little lags and slow down sometimes on Vainglory ( oddworld have little lags), on AOSP Roms based 5.1.X the performance increase in general , Vainglory and oddworld "fly" on maximum quality, now on marshmallow 6.0 and Nougat, the performance gaming decrease on this two games, mainly Vainglory, it's unplayble on maximum quality. The best Rom I've found is GPE 5.1, the drivers graphics is very stable and good, bully don't need gltools to fix the glitch, Vainglory and oddworld fly on maximum settings, but GPE have little bugs :/ ....
Some users mentioned about the latest update from adreno 320 (2016), I think this update affect the games, if the devs try to port GPU Drivers from GPE or any Rom based 5.1.1, the new roms M and N will become better.
I will appreciate if the devs hear my analysis, mainly team canjica
If any user to doubt my analysis, you can test by your self and will see I am sure
GPE Rom ?

Yes this version.
Hi. Just wondering if you guys could update me on which ROM would be the best to go for to revive a couple of old nexus' for the kids to use for browsing, YouTube and a few games
I've hunted around a fair bit and settled on a 4.4.4 index build followed by mkernel a69 then upsated to faux123 kernel for tweaking??
Or are there any gems I'm missing. Maybe a install and forget ROM?
Thanks in advance
Sam
I still have my old 7 running, but compared to even older phones I still keep here its a pain to use, especially with games.
I think the lack of RAM (1GB is installed only) is the issue and this cannot be improved.
I'm thinking of making some decent use by using it as a web radio player - but I kind of lack the use for one.
I really liked the size for browsing the web, but it has become too slow for me.
However I will try this now:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-android-7-aosp-grouper-t3467514
maybe it proves me wrong
I was able to reimage mine from the 5.0.2 (or whatever the highest stock os was) to the better-running 4.4.4 by following a video on youtube from mojolevel.
