How to play heavy games on my milestone

Hi!
My MM is on CM7 RC10. I've tried a lot of gameloft games, gun bros and others like Age of Winds and only could play to Asphalt5 and Raging Thunder.
Any of you could play heavy or HD games on his MM?

Thank you rrohanjs.
Maybe I give a try to cronosginger, but right now, I don't have many time to change my rom only for play the games . Anyone knows a walkaround to play something on CM7?

that rom is not only for gaming, its very stable n the quickest ive used .. n the best part is its battery life ..

HEY! you know! I'm having that problem since I've changed to custom firmware, in the beggining I used stock eclair and ALL heavy games run without problems, then I changed to custom firmware (now on CM7 RC10) and I have problems and crashes on most Gameloft games, BUT all the emulators work excelently, this is little weird, so can a DEV answer that?? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Oh! I forgot! each CM7 versions were compatible with other games, for example, Spliter Cell Conviction ran on CM7 RC5, but did not work on next versions, nor even on RC4, just on RC5... I insist: weird!

Excuse me roohanjs, I didn't want to said that cronosginger was only to play or CM7 is better than cronosginger. What I was trying to say is I'm fine with CM7, and now don't have time to backup, download other ROM, read about it, install, tweak, load again all apps, etc. etc.
Maybe the weekend I could try cronosginger, but meanwhile I hope someone could give me a tip on CM7.

Hi Hearts king101.
I forgot to mention about SuperCharger. I've try it, and tested diferents scripts but the games always crash after intro video or after a few seconds of playing.

I use CM7 RC10, set the vm heapsize to 42 and I am able to play Modern Combat 1&2, the Settlers HD and the normal market games like Angry Birds without stuttering. I havn't even aplied the V6 supercharger mod. Oh, and I overclocked to 1,1Ghz
Just make sure you don't have to much useless stuff running in the background. You can prevent apps from running on boot in the latest versions of CM7

How do you prevent apps from running on boot with CM7? I look inside all settings menus but couldn't find anything.
My MM it's overclocked at 1GHz and vm heapsize is 40MB. I try with JIT enabled and disabled and any of both settings make a difference playing heavy games.

In the CM7 settings menu there is an entry for application management (I have the dutch language enabled, so I don't knoow what the exact english translation is), and you should enable this. Once enabled you can change the app settings in the app management menu in the normal settings menu. Just click on a app and scroll down to the bottom and there you can enable and disable settings. This only works for the apps you installed yourself. Pre installed apps can't be altered.
And I have JIT enabled, thrown the standart ADW launcher away and installed GO Launcher EX wich is in my opinion much faster.

CM7 + Kernel?

Hello everyone,
I am a newcomer to the O2X world. My previous device was an Xperia X10 and having that device for a long time it was fairly easy to follow the forums and know what route to go, which rom to get or kernel, etc.. Now being introduced to Rom Manager, and this phenomenal (to me) device its like starting all over again. I flashed to CM7.1 nightly (yesterday) and the device just only seems to get better and better, although being honest, I truly loved the Music App 2.2.2 had, as well as the camera. I tinkered around a little to get those to work without any success yet.
In any event, my real question is about the kernels... running CM7.1 nightly, what is a recommended Kernel to switch to? I am not looking to overclock the device as I feel it just isn't necessary (used to the Xperia), so Im just looking to get any fixes, tweaks, been hearing about Voodoo Sound etc to just solidify the phone.. might someone be able to point me in the right direction? I had been reading the forums for days now since I got the device but still haven't found what route to go as all the features are completely new to me.
Any help would much much be appreciated! and I must add, there are mixed reviews on the O2X but my take thus far, Im completely blown away.

vork is good in ironing out cm and showing off large score in tests like(quantrant etc.) while
swiftextreme is very good on batterylife
but I still prefer stock cm kernel
welcome to the o2x forums btw

hi, welcome
i stick to vorkkernel(normal version), you can get app to install in market for free.
i run it on 1,2 Ghz, with sleep profile in setcpu with 816Mhz.
gives me about 35hrs battery life and great speed in everyday use.

I am on CM7 with swiftkernel, [email protected],2GHz and I am really satisfied. I get 36-48h of normal use with 3G on and the 2x runs as hell.
Only drawback from the swiftkernel: You get a wakeup delay (1 sec.) because the kernel locks the cpu down to 256MHz when the screen is off. (Which results in a higher standbytime.

Hah, I remember my X10, used to run TripNraver MIUI on that does he even still make roms?
Anyway would stick to the stock CM7 kernel if i were you, least problems with that (no SOD, BSOD etc). On vork / swift problems keep popping up (for me at least). CM7 kernel no problems

I really dont have any knowledge about kernel!! pls help me
i am using cyanogen mod 7 and i installed swiftkernel by overclocking to 1.2 ghz wont it damage my phone??? pls do reply thank you very much in advance .....

You always take a risk when overclocking. With 1.2 it's not a big risk, but there's always one.

Thank you so much!!! can you pls tell me which kernel is good for daily use ??? i am using cyanogen mod 7 ??? when i installed swiftkernel .. i realized that it was automatically overclocked to 1015??? is this fine???

Yo...
I'm using CM Nightly's, in last week I did the install the Vork Kernel, I think so good to diary use.
Now I'm using the #201 with Vork Kernel, all ok. No BSOD and others bugs.
You can use SetCPU with personal profiles.
I'm using max 1216mhz and Profile's Screen Off: max 816 min 216. All ok in this time.
Already did one week, no problems with this.
Just had problem with #202 CM, in #197 and #201 all ok.

so bro if i am running MIUI , what do i need to do to overclock it??
sill any of these kernals be good enough or is there any specific kernal for miui??

Hi guys, I got NfsMW working on our HD2's. It's not laggy but the problem is that after about 2 minutes, it just exits. What's the problem? Ram? I think that android turns on it's ****ty apps(for eg. Play store) to "update" them, and then they take too much of ram..
I'd like to see your answers, thanks. Maybe chainfire can solve the problem? Or we should KILL everything with ram manager?
Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm running Aokp jellybean build 3 from xylo on nand.

The new NFS: MW? I highly doubt that works without lag, I've seen the graphics and they're quite heavy for a mobile game. No single core, 404Mb RAM (in Android) phone could run it smoothly. Even Temple Run has a poor framerate. If you mean the old NFS: MW then that runs perfectly for me without lag, and it doesn't close after a while either.

Well, it's not without lag, but it's really playable, I firstly thought that it won't even run. I'll make a short video tommorow if you want. I've found out that I can play it with the ram manager setted to hard gaming.
Yes, it's the new one. HD2 is never going to die.

NFS MW is working on HD2 without any problem! The game is really good. You can watch a short movie from the game, just search on youtube: NFS MW HTC HD2
I play this game on paranoidandroid without overclocking. Only thing you must do is to change build.prop file.
Sorry for my eanglish

I certainly wouldn't say without any problems. The game runs at half the speed it should! Even then, I'm impressed at how smooth it is since it's running on such old hardware.

I'm impressed too. That good game on this phone, it's a miracle
Do you have a problem like me: You're racing and suddenly the game crashes because of GPU, RAM?
If you don't, how did you fixed it? I tried with that ram manager pro setted to hard gaming but I don't think it's due RAM.
When installed chainfire3d, it crashed my phone so I had to reflash my rom(stupid man forgot to backup current).

Hi there, I got a question! Where I can find the right NFS:MW for the HTC HD2? I got the game but when I try to download the files which he need I got the windows where they saing "The Device is not Compatible"
Some tip?
pleeease...

If you have the softbuttons activated, it won't download because of that.
I'll upload apk to dropbox and send you a pm.
And yes, problem was rom, not the game. We have strong enough gpu and enough ram to run it. I'm playing on paranoid 1.5b without problems.

It's bad it doesn't have those "lightning effects" etc. But i think it would be slower with this turned on.

Devs will probably make some patches with light effects that will work on every device that can run the game(eg. like Dead Trigger..).

It plays on the Hd2... But then there is a lot of difference running it on my note 2 and Asus tf300

I managed to run it smoothly without those effects with normally downloaded data for Desire HD. However, after 2 weeks, the effects for POWERVR devices (better textures, lightning effects etc) activated, so it lagged horribly.

Lagness in general

Hi all guys, I want to ask everyone to help me understanding why I my device is a bit laggy. Ok, I don't have a nexus, but I have an amazing quad core processor, a tegra 3 chipset!!
And even if flash custom ROMs I have this lag feeling, and not only feeling sometimes. I will be more accurate.
1) When I install apps or uninstall apps, I have some lags, now OK the phone is doing a big task but it is a bit too laggy.
2) Switching between apps can be laggy some times, and not just with big apps.
3) I have noticed that even having not much apps working background, the phone give me this impression of lagness, I have 1gb ram and a quad core, I get angry if it start to run slowly only for some apps working background, I mean the hardware is powerfully enough.
After all I must say that I have tryed these ROMs.
Carbon, slimbean, liquid smooth, and CyanogenMod (that is a bit better on performance).
My favourite is slimbean because I feel it stable.
And I have tryed most of the kernels, like werewolf, optimous prime, and iodak at last, and I like this last one.
Can someone help me understand this? Thank you guys!
Ah, sorry for my not clear English :S

I have tried kitkat and it is nice, but it's not much stable so I have chosen to return to stock (zaiben rom) with iodak kernel and I'm impressed, it is fast and smooth with this kernel.
Anyway I think that all Roms that we have are unstable in their way, so I prefer stock where all works.

Pokemon Go on Redmi 2

This is by far the biggest surprise my Redmi 2 gave me:
This game shows the min requirements as 2GB RAM. But yeah I do know we could somehow manage with 1 GB. So, for a better performance I was using CM 13 and decided to start playing the game. But the game lagged a lot, battles were like impossible to be made. I even tried few other ROMS like Nexus, RR, Slim and Snapshot( this was a bit better). I wasn't satisfied but then I shifted to MIUI as I wanted to test the new MIUI 8. But when I started playing the game here, it stopped lagging :fingers-crossed: ( It seldom lags). I couldn't believe it. My friend asked me if its lagging on my phone while he was using RR. I told him the same and it surprised him the same way it did to me. Did anyone else notice this? Anyone with custom ROMS able to play lag-free?

i'm able. it's ok in the most of the time. but my redmi 2 is pro version.

Orion mm latest build (cam also good)

and plus point in these custom roms ---u can use fake gps also...i used n tested...so i m saying...

I love the pure Android experience, but I also came back to MIUI (now MIUI 8 beta) because apps seems to lag less.
I'm playing Pokémon GO but my problem is with GPS, sometime it doesn't fix or stuck and I need to restart the game.

YOu can try on miui 7 i play on that

I installed Orion in my phone and performance on Pokémon GO is worse than with MIUI 7/8.

i'm currently playing in miui 8 latest update, and it seems fine, except when you are under the sun and charging the phone then the cpu throttles xD
