Is there a way to improve the performance of a stock Bionic (ICS).........with a Lapdock (Bionic model)?
Will a de-bloated custom rom perform better ?
I understand that one of the limitations is the 1GB ram on the Bionic. and maybe that particular lapdock itself. But wondering if anyone has seen any substantial performance when using a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I need some arguments for using OC-Kernel or not.
Does the OC-Kernel significantly reduces the battery time? If yes, how long can I use the phone, without charging?
And does it affect stability of the running rom?
What are other disadvantages or benefits? Are there some important problems on FroYo Roms? I wanna use OC-Kernel with SPQRom 0.6.
Hope someone can help, thanks in advance!

Hi. I just wonder about this.
Many times, when a new firmware comes out, after 2-3 days there are custom roms based on it, with tweaks (edited build.prop for example) and other speed mods.
Do they really improve speed? I mean seriously, if someone tests the 3-4 most known stable custom roms, based on same android version, and with the same kernel, also with the same apps on it, will be any noticeable difference in speed?
I see other devs releasing a rom after 3 days, and I can't explain what kind of tweaks could give more speed being stable at the same time.
Maybe custom roms are just modded/themed stock roms, and when there's a speed differenve it's because of the kernel inside.
Just being curious about that (also could make the choice of the rom itself easier...)
Any opinion? From your experience at least.

A mixture of both .

definately a mixture of both. They both make huge improvments over stock. in my opinion anyway
probaby karnel or speed
some costum rome improve your phone speed or karnel speed. especially visuality.

I don't need to improve my phone's karnel speed, it gets enough girls as it is.
However in my experience speed improvement and the smoothness that comes with it are mainly the process of the kernel as that controls the interaction between android and the hardware, where most performance bottlenecks happen. The ROM itself adds functionality, appearence and most important of all...stability.
At least so it appears to me.

I partially agree. I mean, if we assume stock roms are stable, custom roms can;t be more stable.
So, they provide some speed, maybe because there are not so many system apps inside, and mostly they provide some nice mods (visual and functional).
My GF received a nook color for christmas. She is excited to use it as an e-reader but would love to use it for email, video and web-browsing, too. She's pretty dissapointed in the performance of it compared to her Galaxy SII phone. I admit -- the phone is a LOT snappier.
Is this a problem with the stock software/rom or is it the device? Will flashing an aftermarket rom allow her to watch youtube or other streaming video sites? Right now the web browser is pretty slow (especially for video.)
Probably the most immediate cause of slow performance is <tada> the Nook Color is a relatively slow device compared to what's now available, especially the Nook Tablet which is not only two cores crankin' along but two cores crankin' along at what, 50% faster as well.
A custom ROM has two primary benefits:
1) allows for more options and potential, including more highly tuned kernels that can improve performance and battery life, and...
2) overclocking of the processor because those more highly tuned kernels allow for such things (the stock kernel = no overclocking potential at all)
A lot of people definitely overclock the Nook Color because it's relatively easy to do, offers significant performance increases, and doesn't really "harm" the hardware at all in the process.
So, while there is a limit to just how far the Nook Color can go, using a custom ROM designed for it (and it's entirely possible to run a custom ROM directly from the microSD card so the NC remains purely stock) offers almost entirely positive benefits from start to finish with very little negative impact at all (aside from maybe slightly reduced battery life when overclocking).
It's a win-win I'd say.
Or tell her to return the NC and get the NT which obviously is far more powerful and the hacking on that is really just getting started (even in spite of B&N's apparent attempts to keep it locked down a lot more than the NC ever was).
Agreed. You're comparing a dual core high end phone to a single core e-reader. Performance will vary.
A custom ROM is an option. I rooted mine the day after I got mine (only because I didn't have a mSD card) and within a week had CM7 running on it. It has been running custom ROMs ever since, chugging along at 1.2GHz. The overclock to me does help quite a bit in performance.
That being said, isn't it possible to root, install recovery, and flash dal's kernel with the stock ROM. TO be able to OC and have other additional features? That is, if she really wants to keep the stock ROM with things like ICS being developed.
Just wanted to ask others about their experiences on using custom kernels vs the stock kernels that come with custom ROMs.
I've tried the custom kernels and it seems that they either sacrifice performance (screen on delays, random lag) or battery life (usually because of overclocking the GPU) over the ROM's stock kernel. I'm curious to know if others have experienced the same thing or if it's something wrong with my settings. I always flash the custom kernel right after installing a custom ROM so that everything's clean.
Thanks!
I use ARHD 21.0 and it performs better than att stock for me with better battery life.

Sounds like a classic trade-off. You don't get anything for free.
Hi, I have a one plus 3t and I would like if someone knows a configuration to play, if it exists or something.
Thank you
As long as the Kernel does not underclock your CPU/GPU for Battery Life, any Kernel/ROM should be fine.

That's what I would think. The hardware on this phone is killer. Only bettered by Snapdragon 835 phones (or the upcoming phones for this year).
I wonder if the top poster is having a specific issue with games? Or just looking to tweak/overclock, despite no real issues?

I'm guessing the latter. He's probably on Stock, and he just wants to know if there's any possibility on increasing Performance in Workloads/Games. Nothing much else.
If he does want some recommendations, Caesium Kernel or ElementalX paired with Stock or a highly AOSP based ROM like NOS should do well. Not that the other Kernels or ROMs will be much different, this is just my experience.

right now I am using the z-unleasht, it runs well the games but it was out of curiosity if there was some configuration of Kernel so that it does not drink so much battery and render better
You should try helix engine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/app-helix-engine-v1-0-beta-3-t3745746/
Then use "AKT balanced" (change in settings). You can choose for every App other profiles -> change it to performance for your games.
Then you have a fast smartphone with great battery life, and performance while gaming.
You need to be rooted

It's not possible to go after battery economy while wanting to perform heavy duty tasks.
It's either one or the other.

thanks for the app i am researching to have ..
Hi guys, i have tried many custom kernel such as ElementalX, Flash kernel, Boeffla, Blu_spark, Wolfram..... etc and I still find that my OnePlus 3T can't handle big games..... unstable FPS even at low settings.... and It heats up pretty quick and render the CPU to lower its frequency, etc.....
