Best gaming rom (especially SubWay Surfers) ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so ,first of all i DO know there are other "best gaming rom" topics,but with so many new roms out there,i was wondering if anybody changed his mind.
I used helly bean and some other jellybean rom and it wasnt ok. Now i came back to CyanogenMod 7 and i like it as stability and battery life.
The game im interested in is Subway Surfers (my girlfriend is obsessed by this game). Sometimes it moves ok,sometimes the fps is very low.
Also keep in mind that i tried with and without "Game Booster" at ALL levels.
The battery with CM7 is extremely good (used for music,games,high light display and it was up for 3 days) . What i'm interested in is a rom with a decent battery life (lets say at least half of CM7) ,great stability (i hate reboots,crashes etc) and the best gaming performance out there (as i said befoe,especially to be able to run Subway Surfers with no freezes).
I don't care if its 2.3.6 ,ICS or JellyBean as long as its stable,decent battery and best gaming performance.
Thanks in advance,i hope you guys can help me install the best gaming rom at the moment.

Should i move to cm9 already ?

Hey guys , i really like the CM9 ICS , but do you guys think it is time to move ???
CM7.1 is just a battery HOG for me , Sammy build roms are laggy...
every thing has its disadvantages and advantages
so what's the Advantages / disadvantages of cm9 ?

do you think or know if CM9 will solve the battery hogging issue?
Not sure, but surley if it has battery hog issues , then iam not going to CM9 , waiting for an expert reply though
It's definitely better then CM7, and probably better then many other roms out there. At least try it out.

Try tOnecosmic's ICS Port!!!
It is amazing, good battery life, very smooth, works great as my daily Rom

I DON'T recommend going to ICS just yet (unless you want to beta test), builds are still too early, they are unreliable for everyday use and it'll be a while until we get a stable and good performing rom, CM7 is much better right now, but it may change in the future though.
ICS launcher FC a lot, gallery app and browser are laggy, and if you use live wallpapers everything slows down a lot, also there are many app incompatibilities now. I tried to like ICS but it's still in alpha stages (don't believe all those RC1 or beta labels, it's really not ready)
CM7 is great but yes, it's a battery hog. You could use a samsung rom (a custom ODEXED rom or stock are fine) and a custom kernel, I use semaphore with thunderbolt and it's very good performing, it can't touch CM7 in RAM management (isn't as good in multitasking), but videos, games play nice and samsung has a few good apps (it's dialer has smart dialing and its a looker, it can play almost all videos even h264 720p 60fps, music app uses very little battery since it's HW accelerated and its browser is as smooth as the iphone's, it can't be touched by CM7's), and you can delete all other samsung bloatware.

Thanks for your reply !! , i used to be on almost every new ROM lately but i couldn't handle the Lag even with using Thunderbolt and stuff , it was veryyy laggy and not responsive , iam now on CM7.1 and i have to say it is waaaaaay faster than the sammy build roms , too bad i get some force closes often and i HATE how low the music is , the music player sucks alot of battery though
my best Samsung experience was on Hybrid roms , stable , fast.
btw not all CM9 builds are bad ! you can try search for the AndroidSoul's review of cm9 , it looks veryyyyy smooth !
any recommendations for now ?

Thanks so much man ! i have seen some videos for the onecosmic's port and it is veryy fast indeed !!!!
i wonder how long do you last with heavy usage / medium usage ?
what about standby ?? , iam so going to try this soon !
With heavy usage I can use my Phone one day, but this was the same with Gingerbread.
When I only have low or medium usage, the battery lasts 1 1/2 - 2 Days, very good for a non final release. But most i charge my phone every night.

I didn't watch any videos, I flashed both versions myself and ICS isn't ready yet, got too many FC, lags heavily on some occasions and isn't as fast as CM7 (we're talking about the version for the i9000 right? )
It'll reach great performance levels in the future I'm sure, but saying that it's perfect for daily use or better than CM7 is just going a little too far.
And have you tried a high LMK for sammy roms? Like 80MB or higher, you won't be able to multitask much, but performance will be very good for games or heavy apps

I guess iam going to skip flashing CM9 then ! , iam an average-heavy user
- well , i have never tried messing up with memory but i assure you i have had troubles multitasking , and very very very bad response time on almost any sammy rom , even with overclocking i don't really feel any difference
all what i used to flash on sammy roms was base rom + custom rom on top of it + some tweaks like thunderbolt script , overclocking wasn't even noticed
i also used to tweak the colors

[Q] 3D Game Performance: Jelly Bean vs. Gingerbread

Howdy folks
I've noticed something rather perplexing: game performance for Note on GB Roms is streets ahead of JB Roms in some cases. Bear in mind that this is all subjective (ie I haven't measured FPS) although in most cases where this is noticeable the performance difference is so large that I hardly need to. Think jerking and stuttering movement that interferes heavily with gameplay.
It only seems to effect some titles though: for example Dead Trigger and Shadowgun seem equally good on either (maybe the same game engine is the reason?) to my subjective eye. Real Racing 3 and Let's Golf 3 are very, very bad on JB roms that I've tried. Let's Golf 3 is jerky graphically. Real Racing 3 is jerky to the point of being unplayable.
On GB roms Let's Gold 3 is silky, silky smooth - literally everything, it's an older game of course. Real Racing 3 is jerky at times, in particular on the scenes before you start racing where it shows the cares, but not as much as JB. During gameplay it varies from jerky but still playable (when there's lots of cars/crashes) to that wonderful framerate steadiness where you feel in complete control of the car because everything FPS is consistently the same. Which it is not on JB at all. I realise RR3 is probably getting a bit beyond the Notes capabilities but the difference between JB and GB is night and day. And that's before I use any Chainfire3D features on GB.
I've tried Stock GB and Rocket ROM GB but only 3 JB ROMs - that being ParanoidAndroid 2.54 (utacka), PA 3.10 and Stunner v2 to get these subjective results.
So point of this post is: are all JB Roms like this for 3D performance? Particuarly interested in people that have tried RR3 and LG3 though I'm sure there's other games that this effects. I have read that Asylum and BlackCNA are good for 3D gaming - is it better/same than GB though?
I'm really in love with ParanoidAndroid features other than the gaming issues so I might try a dual booting solution or swap between nandroid backups to have a GB and JB roms even though this will be a PITA (the dual booting would require flashing a kernel before changing ROMS though at least I can do it online with KTools .
Just wondering

Why are the gaming performence differences between CM11 and Stock 4.4 so drastic?

I tried CM11 nightlys recently and i was impressed with the performence, especially with PPSSPP running much better and with constantly high FPS and speed. Also in GTA San Andreas i was able to run it with much higher visuals while still playing smooth.
However what bothers me about CM is the terrible speaker quality, just exceptable battary life and over all i prefer Sense UI.
So yesterday i flashed the updated version of maximus HD (wich is the best stock rom in my opinion) and yeah, its awesome, i love the UI, normal UI performence and bettary life is great and also the speaker sounds much better. Gaming is not bad, for most games that are not that intensive performence is more then good enough but as soon as it comes to PPSSPP and San Andreas its just not as smooth. I tried to gain better gaming performence by flashing elementalX kernel and clocked the CPU to 1.8 ghz and the GPU to 450 mhz. (I never overclocked anythingh with CM)
And yeah the performence is a tiny bit better but nothing compared to CM.
Why is that the case and and is there any way to either bring gaming performence on stock to a CM level or bring at least improove the speaker quality on CM?
Also can anyone report how google edition 4.4 performs? I never tried is becouse i am still S-ON.
Please share your thoughts
Gaming on GE is way bttr than on sense atleast for me.i had never seen a lag in games like san andreas ,asphalt 8 even in high graphics.
P.s:- why dnt try viper4android for better sound in cm...

MIUI Custom Kernel or MIUI Based Custom Roms

As the title says, my mix 2 lags and drops fps hard in heavy games like pubg, i tried game boost app from pocophone it helped a little bit and now it became useless. Phone doesnt get hot a lot, i try to play in smooth extreme fps but fps drops a lot, i think it is kernel related or due to miui. I have tried global stable and beta miui 10. It is just the only problem i have with the device. Are there any other kernel that is compatible with miui? Are there any good miui 10 based custom roms that performs good in games and gets better battery when on light use? I dont really want to change roms(aosp ones because i had 5t before and tried almost every single one. Im a guy who fell in love with miui since 2013-2014. Thats why i got mix 2 and i wasnt expecting that bad performance on the same snapdragon chipset. Like i have said its either rom or kernel issue.)
Im also open to suggestions. I have used several pubg graphics tools and the results i got are with those apps. It is even worse with default graphics options. Also i would change the kernel if possible with EAS as they perform better in balanced tasks.I own mix 2 for 3 days and im satisfied with it. But that performance issue really bugs me out. I could play the game at hdr with 60fps on my old 5t. It wouldnt get that hot. I can say the heat is the same i get with mix 2. Animation transitions are ok, i dont get any stuttering in any apps or in system, it happens with heavy games.
This thread can be a discussions thread of gaming in miui.

You can use a different kernel (like skizo or placeholder) or swich to AOSP roms and try NFS-injector (optimized for PUBG only).
