Best Rom for 3d Gaming or Gaming period.

Just as the title says im looking for the best rom for gaming on the g1 3d and 2d. i used my g1 as a spare so that i dont kill my daily phone playing games. all opinions and responses are appreciated thank you

SuperD without the RAM hack or Enomther's

From my experience rom does not make that much of a difference, but the kernel does. Whenever I want to play a game, I use this:
-CM based 2.6.34 kernel with BFS
-Cyanogen 5.0.8 test4
-No sound
-All tasks killed before the game starts (by menu-> applications->running processes)
-Overclocked at 691 min/max (Universal overclock, and always plugged in)
I've also heard that HTC 1.5 roms are very good but I am more then happy with with the frame rates I get on RT2. The above set up get 30.2 FPS on neocore. I need to try some froyo gaming to see if the official git helps it some (its supposed to help with big applications like browser so I'm assuming it will help with 3D performance too). I've found that you can overclock higher/stable-er when plugged in then on battery alone.

[Q] Pocket Legends and Angry Birds - low performance

Hey, I'm using FroydVillain 1.7.2 with the OpenGL 1.1 update.
I got Pocket Legends to work, and I have tried both the AngryBirds 1.3.5 modified and the newest from market. The problem is, all of these 3 games lag horribly on my HTC Hero GSM. I'm using Minimum freq 352 Mhz and Max 691 Mhz. Any ideas/solutions, or am I out of luck?
Btw. Before installing custom roms, the 1.3.5 worked so-so, even though it lagged at later levels and had white textures, now it's unplayable, even though it should be faster.
EDIT: I updated my kernel.
Getting 26.7 FPS in NeoCore, now after new kernel 26.7 FPS again, I have
Flykernel 12a
OpenGL 1.1 (VM Heapsize 24)
Min 176 Max 614

Having installed the OpenGL 1.1 update, Angry Birds 1.3.5 (modded) also seems slower to me, but it can also be the kernel. After i installed flykernel some other games started slowing down also. How did you exactly get pocket legends to work
VillainRom 1.7.2
Open GL ES 1.1 (VM Heapsize 24)
Min 264 Max 614
FlyKernel 12a
-edit- the original angry birds 1.3.5 works without lag, just search on google Textures still missing offcourse

I have
FroydVillain 1.7.2
Android 2.2.1
FlyKernel 11c
I got Pocket Legends to work by changing egl.cfg in /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg to
0 0 qcom
0 1 android
This breaks my Angry Birds though.
Should I update my FlyKernel? Also, where to see info about OpenGL?
EDIT: Getting 26.7 FPS in NeoCore, now after new kernel the same, now I have
Flykernel 12a
OpenGL 1.1 (VM Heapsize 24)
Min 176 Max 614

Yeah thats neocore score with sound right. If you turn sound off in options you will get around 35. That's what everyone is oosting. About pocket legends. Its slow here too, phone just too old i guess. For open gl info download android system information in market

I get a 57.4 neocore score, im running open GL ES 1.1 on android 2.3, overclocked to 710MHz and i have no idea why i cant run this application
running on HTC Hero GSM

To all people who are running 2.3 and try to play games. make sure the game is installed on the phone and not the FAT SD partition, look in manage aplications and then under the app move it to the Phone. if that option is there. I can play all games on 2.3, well the ones that atleast run on the Hero.

Keep in mind that you miss a lot of stuff in Neocore on 2.3 so that is why it is so high, if it had all the graphics it would prob be lower then 2.2.

[Q] [request] $$ for control of my hardware! (tegrak,supercurio,chainfire come here!)

hi, i just changed my galaxy s2 for this lg p990 because i needed some money. i love this phone but current software lacks of full hardware control. for instance on sgs 2 tegrak apps and kernels provide a full customization in frequency and voltages (cpu and gpu). if you can find a lucky phone like mine was you can undervolt gpu from 1,1 to 0,75 volt at full frequency with a great battery life improvement. i love small but powerful apps like
-voodoo control
-tegrak apps
-chainfire 3d
and i paid for all of them! so i will buy also a nice app to control gpu and avp of my tegra 2 lg p990! i don t care about need of reboot or aomething, i will just watch my full hp movies on hdmi without lag or frame skip!

Hello!
What you want is available - to a certain extent.
To UV you need a OC/UV kernel to do this and you could use either one of kernels like i.e. spica(Horse Power kernel for stock rom), dr4go(fps kernel for stock), SetiroN(ironknL for CM7) or vodonka (KANG kernel for CM7).
Then use i.e. Pimp my CPU to customise under-volt over-clock...whatever...
But if it is possible to undervolt GPU independently in Tegra 2 chips - I don't know. You could ask any of the kernel devs above!?!?
Chainfire 3D is available - if you bought it just install it - it gives some performance but MSAA customisation isn't supported by the Tegra 2 - if you are looking for this...
Voodoo sound control is available and still under development - right know their are only some basic features - but it works and brings some dynamic range improvement. IMHO it is a noticeable improvement.
BTW: Watching video with full HD up to 1080p is possible out of the box - no need to OC or to OC GPU for that.

hi, thank you for your answer! i flashed cm7 and now i don't cry anymore for my ex sgs2, but a friend of mine gave me an hd file for test and it was 1080p with low bit rate ( 2,5gb for 2 hour lenght) but impossible to watch properly on my hd tv. and i was very disappointed when the encoding speed was almost the same switching beetween hw and sw decode ( on mx player). i don t think tegra 2 sucks as it seems. i manage clock speeds on my mobile with pimpmycpu but it is not very reliable and still don t have any control on gpu and avp clock. so what i think that really lacks on p990 sw
environment is a gpu/avp control. i home cm9 will bring any improvement on this side

The last thing i heard was that CM7 and HMDI 1080p and 720p playback didn't work 100%. on stock, that should work..

yes, it played well on stock gingerbread....not like sgs2 but something lile. dual boot on lg dual (italian name of lg 2x) could be a good idea also

Hello!
The Question is if the used codec that was used for encoding the video is supported by the hardware.
BTW: I use moboplayer, but my TV only supports 720p with this phone (don't know why - while it supports 1080p with my laptop) and I used 720p sources from OnlineTVRecorder.com for testing - this works without glitches...

Playing videos & HWA

Guys my Nook Color does not play videos flawlessly. I find no audio - video proper sync. Sometimes it slows down. How to solve this issue ?
Currently I am using Mirage 7.2 [03042012 build]
I have no idea how to overclock, so I assume I am using at stock speed. Does overclocking help this issue ?
Does my nook HWA enabled ? How to check ?
Which is best media player ? something like VLC / GOM as for PC ?
Here are the two videos I'd like my Nook Color play flawlessly :
Video 1 : http://npteldownloads.iitm.ac.in/softlinks_mp4/106102064/lec06.mp4 [source]
Video 2 : https://d19vezwu8eufl6.cloudfront.net/algo1/recoded_videos/[420f432a] about.mp4 [source]
This are free educational videos & I am not pirating.

I just ran the 11mb file you posted and it ran flawlessly. I suggest you use Mobo player for playing video files. My NC is overclocked, set on conservative from 800mhz to 1200mhz. I suggest you check out the post from mr72 in General Discussion about his setup, you don't have to do the first steps about repartitioning. Just do the last few steps about battery and performance improvements. Right now im posting from my nook so its a bit cumbersome to get the links for you. Once I get on my laptop ill edit the post.

Edit: Ok go into mr72's guide and follow the steps from 17 - 19, this should help with your performance.

Thank you very much, I will look into it
Is overclocked needed OR it can play at 800 Mhz ?

I would definitely overclock. It is very safe and easy and gives a significant performance boost in all areas. 1200MHz seems fine for every Nook C, some push it to 1300MHz but that can actually start to slow some graphics performance measures down. You won't significantly hit battery performance as the Governor slows the clock speed down when its not needed.
Just get one of the apps from the market like antutu CPU Master pro and set it up.

Just an app from Market can OC it ? no other flashing any zip file / kernel etc needed ?

If you are using Mirage it already comes with overclocked kernel capabilities, just follow the instructions in mr72's guide (the link I gave you earlier).
Or just go into Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Performance>CPU Settings:
Min CPU: 300mhz
Max CPU: 1200mhz
and voila!
But I highly recommend that you take a look into mr72's guide for undervolting these specific steppings, so you get better battery life.

on a side note, anyone able to play 720p videos?

[Q] Noticeable lag when playing games

I have a nook color running phiremod 7.2
I have noticed a lag while playing games like Angry Birds. Angry bird space is unplayable it lags so much.
Is there a setting I should change? CPU speed? Or do I need to change ROMS?
Thanks
Ryan

I would start by updating to cyanogenmod 7.2 stable. How old is the ROM you are using right now? Sometimes its best to do a data and a cache wipe once and awhile just in case you corrupted your kernel base through updates. You will need to do this if you want to go from CM7 to CM9.
You can do this with the options in ROM manager along with clockworkmod. A nandroid backup first is recommended.
I use the built in overclocking with these cyanogenmod builds, I got mine overclocked to 1200 mhz. Any higher and you start running into problems with stability. I use the "on demand' governor within those options.
I have had no lag whatsoever on my nook playing all of the angrybirds apps. Might want to add a speed script you can find here after you update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508481
The only time I notice any lag is through the Opera browser I am using when trying to watch HD video on youtube, I just chalk that up to the processor bogging down.

Test the ram if this is an issue, by killing with task manager all that is running, before you start the game.
It's not right to use task manager like this, but at least you could check if this is the trouble maker.
Unleashed from my Revolutionized Desire HD

I checked the ram ant it was not the issue. Iended up installing cm7.2 and everything is working much faster and smoother
Thanks for the help!
