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
Hi all!
I love the work of laufersteppenwolf in making ROM for this smartphone, but it's not the aim of this post to say how much I appreciate his work.
I have a question.
Have anyone tested gaming in this (WerewolfJB CM10.1 beta3) ROM. How it looks? For example how it looks like with the games that used to lag a little: NFS:MW or Shadowgun, and how with those, which where almost unplayable because of the lags: i.e. Spiderman.
Are they running smooth?
Some are better, need for speed is smooth. Spiderman still laggy but not as bad. Some are worse though like nova 3, in benchmarks most stuff was higher but I/O speed is lower than stock which may explain why some are worse. I haven't tested today's new kernel though

Thanks for your response. Have anyone else tested it (w/wo new kernel)? And what about the classics like GTA III or VC?
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...

Hi.
Today I did an update to Marshmallow and I noticed that games such as Hearthstone work much worse than lollipop.
You know rom best to be running for the games?
hey guyz,
can any one of the knowledgeable ones provide me the kernel setting to play very games like pubg, asphalt 8, without lags on op3t.
i have used kernels like madys, ex, holydragon on stock and on gaming spectrum profile, but not satisfactory.
plz somebody provide me with the settings and i am not willing to buy any gaming phone.

lack of optimization and not using of latest resources by one plus in my opinion. oreo will get better later so for now gamers should stay on nougat
No lag on OS 5.0.3

Well, i don't feel any lag on latest Oreo ie. 5.0.3
All heavy games Like MC5, PUBG & Ashphalt 8 too running very smoothly...
After flashing so many custom roms, I've returned to latest stock, & I feel its too OP.
Would suggest u too flash latest stock OS.
Check ur Ping too for every games u r playing

No..happy with returning to stock...
Not even Rooted this time.
An update guyz,
I tried vertex nougat rom in which ui was smooth af but gaming was not as smooth,then I switched to sultan lineage, and the games i mentioned ran smoothly.
may be the cpu driver made by him works well with 3d titles.
Skydragon + mcd kernel works well in my case
No throttling at all
No fps drop too in pubg
Totally lag free gaming
