Rom and kernel for gaming - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hu guys I've been searching forum but there are so many roms and threads so I need to open up this thread for my i9000
I'm currently running SlimBean 3.1 with Semaphore 2.8.0s kernel and rom is fast and stable and I get ~150-200ram free. I have just installed GTA Vice City and it's running really slow and lags. My personal opinion is that Galaxy S can run this game without lag and other heavy games but it requires GB rom that can do this.
So which one rom GB do you find best for lag-free games and for best battery and for every day use?
I think that all JB roms use a lot of ram and that causes laging in games, so GB is best for games but which one ?
I want to play some games like Modern Combat, TDKR and others but to play them smooth. Is that possible on this phone? I think it's beast but this games are new and heavy on resources.
So if someone would answer on my question I would be greatful.

For gaming you can use devil kernel or semaphore kernel(I recommend the first) and use paranoid Android by droidjam: )

So I found this rom in the list of custom roms for the I9000...
Its a GB rom designed for gaming apparently. 385MB ram. Try it out

A lot of Gingerbread ROMs are laggy when you play 3D games. You can try iceandfire or FroyoMOD, and try zeppelinrox's supercharging.

Like shadedude66 said gb roms are slower in comparison to froyo for gaming when it should be faster becausee gb was designed for phones with 512mb of ram. So it lags on the milestone. But if you use zepplinrox's supercharger iceandfire is a gaming god

[Q] ROM Performance?

Hello, Do ROM's like CM7 and Darky's ROM etc improve gaming and CPU performance? because im playing Shadow Gun and it's lagging like hell... will installing custom ROM fix this?
P.S sorry for being noob I'm just looking for reasons to flash custom ROM
You won't see a massive difference between ROMs but there is a slight difference. Chainfire from market impacts on performance if used correctly. also I do recommend ICS ROMs. I feel that games run more smoothly on them .

I think that in any ICS ported rom there's a little bit of increase in graphic performance.

Difference in performance is very high to me, but if you want a STABLE ROM I suggest to use Darkyy's one or CM7 stable release...
I'm on ICS by teamhacksung now but I agree with bugs anounced!

If i install darky's rom for example will that stop lag in shadow gun?
I don't now, but I can post my results in Qaudrant and you can see if they are better or not...
I remeber you that I'm on ICS 4.0.3 now, therefore I can only suggest you to give a try to Darkyy's or CM7 and try your game performances...
I only use fruitninja and works like a charm.
If I can help you in flashing other rom just tell me something.
Shadow gun is a very demanding game and the galaxy s has lacking hardware for optimal game play. Software can only do some optimization. You will not get a totally smooth experience with any rom.

Quadrant scores mean absolutely nothing.
For a game like ShadowGun to run as smoothly as possible, I suggest a Froyo ROM and RAM optimization scripts such as ThunderBolt or SuperCharger.
Give up froyo. Go for latest rom and midnight kernel. No ext4! And use agressive lmk settings. And delete all bloatware (you can use my huge list) and use adw launcher with no widgets. Only search and 4 shortcuts. Overclock a little bit. You can't believe your eyes.

Lolz you're sooo wrong. I will put a video for you. It will contain dungeon defenders, shadowgun, blood glory, gta 3, modern combat 3, dungeon hunter 2, nfs shift, asphalt 6 I'm playing all without microlags. Even smoother than most of dual core htc phones. We have a secret weapon that is sgx540 but you must know how to use it

Using your technique described above essentially strips the phone to a minimal and restricts how one would normally go about with an android device. For me that shows sgs lacks hardware for hardcore games.

Let me see this video. I'm calling you out on this, so post a link. I want to see gameplay from ALL of the games you just listed, and if I see absolutely no lag at all then you'd have proved your point. I'm not expecting 60 fps on each of those games, but if you can even achieve 35+ constantly, then it's definitely lag free.

It doesn't, I'm on darky's 10.2.2 now and shadow gun plays smooth as hell, with default it was at like 10fps, now just seems standard 30+fps...
I'd recommend flashing an ICS rom, as the UI is awesome and I also feel like the games/apps run smoother.

Naa, It's only on build #13 at the moment and isn't final release so it won't be super-stable like darky's rom.

[Q] i9000 games lag

my i9000 lags a lot while playing games..... is this beacouse it's an old phone or is this a way to improve the performance of the phone????....
my device runs on cm10 nightly
Try to install a different Rom like C-RoM Mix. Some of the games i installed are Temple Run and Dead Space. They run smoothly without lag.

(Game) lag?

My gs1 is running on cm10.1.
While playing simple games like Temple run it lags pretty bad making gameplay annoying. Not running any apps in the background. Why do I have this? Any fix?

Try live overclocking, which gives more power to CPU and GPU, or try Slim Bean RC1 - Temple run 2 is really smooth, and AnTuTu gives 4800-5100 points (over 2000 points in 3D), so it's the best ROM for now.

Change your Rom to Vanilla Rootbox. Temple Run 2 runs lag free without OC/OV. Best Rom for SGS1 based on my experience from countless Rom flashings.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Vanilla Rootbox
Kernel: Mackay 0.240
Instead of overclocking your general cpu speed you should try to use the app PerApp. It lets you set min and max cpu speed and other stuff for each individual app.
If you are a gamer then try gamerzrom, its the best by far

Aways Xylon ROM has great performance and customizability. Its well worth a look but unfortunately aways has discontinued ROM development.

C-Rom Mix by Aways is great take a look!
I had a lot of Problems with other Roms but this one got me hooked. Great Atutu benchmarks etc.
Im running helly bean and I can say it's the fastest rom I ever flashed, it's smooooth as hell
also I o.c my phone to 1320 mhz with 408 mb of ram, it's stable and running games without lagging . you should try it

If you want a ROM that run Games smooth, i recommand you to take a look at the "CyanAOSP".
I already tested some roms and i really like CyanAOSP, soo smooth and verry good for Gaming.
Tested on: Asphalt 7 , Real Fotbal 2013, Gangstar City, Subway Surfers, Temple Run, Asphalt 6, Earn to Die, Drag Racing, Need For Speed HP, Fifa 12 , Sky Safari and many others, No lag. and get 4400+ on Antutu.
All jb ROMs are smooth;specifically AWAYS ROMs.
