I was using cm12.1, tried asphalt 8 and it force closes even on medium graphics, I changed to stock .207 and game force closes on high graphics, even with greenify hibernating alot of apps, the only way is reboot every time before start the game.
Already tried OmniX kitkat, and it hangs well rebooting one time per day but it heats alot and can't play 60fps videos on youtube, I can't consider for daily drive.
Any tips for heavy gaming on our bugged device?
You can't.
Xperia SP's RAM is 1GB. And the device itself is marketed as midrange.
You won't try to run Crysis at high settings on a Pentium 2 with 256MB RAM, would you?

What? No need to sorry!
It's really a fact we need to accept. I could barely use keyboard in Clash of Clans and sometimes my SimCity game crashes!
And NFS No Limits, once you get your car doing great speeds, it will crash instantly
Quite a bummer, apart from the low RAM, this thing has a pack of a GPU and CPU power

Yes, sad thing, initially I bought this device thinking on games first, I could play nova 3 and games like this with no problem, but asphalt 8 and newer games broke my heart
I play Asphalt8. On some tracks it's the game has some freezes, but most of the time its playable.
I run AdrianDC's CM 12.1, debloated (froze many system apps), and a lot of apps greenified.
I typically have 400MB free RAM with no apps running.
can you tell me whats apps you greenified and frozen?
and this cm12.1 from adrian is the official or unnoficial?
you really frozen whatsapp and email apps too?
Frozen (via titanium backup) :
Calendar (I use aCalendar+)
CyanogenMod Setup Wizard
Android Setup Wizard
AOSP Keyboard (I use swiftkey)
cLock
CM Updater
com.android.SMSPush (don't know what this is, but I still get SMS and it was running 100% of the time as background app)
com.google.android.partnersetup
Cell Broadcast
Themes provider (I don't use them)
Deskclock
Soundrecorder
Music (Cyanogenmod's eleven)
FM Radio
CM bug report
Exchange Services
Print spooler
NFC Tags
CM Themes
Trebuchet (I use Nova Launcher and it was still running in the background)
Greenified : allmost everything but needed background apps. So it's easier to tell what's not greenified :
WhatsApp
Llama
OneFootball
Swiftkey
aCalendar+
Google
FolderMount
Kernel Adiutor
Waze

you greenified all system apps too?
I still ask, it's the official or unnoficial rom?

No, I use the free version of Greenify so no system apps are greenified. Those that I don't use are frozen, the other ones are just running. I installed micro Gapps package so there are not many system apps.
Oh, you remind me that I believe I moved some system apps to user apps so that I could Greenify them.
Probably Google Music and Google Maps.
I am running AdriandDC's unofficial from late february, currently updating to it's latest unofficial (03272016).

thanks, you was helpful
You're welcome.
After verification, I used the nano gapps package, not micro.
you think the official one will hang well as the adrian's one or the performance is clearly different?
In AdrianDC's there is ZRam enabled by default, and that makes all the difference for Asphalt8.
FC's in Asphalt are due to low memory, ZRam is a must.

i'm on adrian cm13 actually, you think I should turn to cm12.1 or just greenify and freeze all on cm13?
I can't tell you, I never tried CM13.
Users seem to be happy with it's performance, but I don't know if they are gaming on it.
You can use swap for increase your RaM and play heavy games
sent from Xperia™ SP | Android 5.1
ZRam is swap. It's in RAM, but it's swap.
I used lolipop most of the time on my S5 mini but I also used marshmallow recently. Even with all **** disabled there are still very noticable delays when I switch between applications and scrolling isn't smooth, some transitions are not as smooth either.
I'm using Slim6 at the moment and first thing I noticed when is that it's so smooth. For a while I thought this phone's hardware is too weak for system or it should run it damn smooth. On another hand I see phones like J5 2016 from Samsung which has Marshmallow preinstalled and it's so much smoother than my S5 mini ever was.
So my question is what causes the system to preform so slow and not as smooth as one would like? And it can't be bloatware because even if you disable and uninstall all of that **** it still runs just as bad.

Stock Lolipop is full of bloatware, and the problem is, this software runs mostly in Backgroud, even if you don't use it.
Wow I'm actually shocked. After removing around 20 Google and Samsung crap that came preinstalled using Bloatware removing tools I can actually feel the difference in smoothness and device is a lot more fun to use. Again understameted what all those annoying apps from Samsung and Google can do.

What app and with what parameters (setup) have you used for debloating?
Nevermind it's getting slow overtime still. ****.
It's the kernel, don't use Samsung stock kernel. I've got a G800Y variant and that sh*t was as slow as a fkn fliptop I swear. I've got the following on mine:
- Xposed (23/87.1 for Samsung) <- Personally, this is also partly to do with being able to maintain everything, there's a module called like 100M+ Memory Saver (module list below)
- No Google Play Services/Play Store/Location/ANYTHING (even using Yalp Store as an alternative to that cancerous bundle of leaching bloatware)
- Hopefully sometime soon the open source OpenLauncher gets fixed up sometime soon, swear its the best of every Launcher -Performance draining features/+Free and it's pretty tidy too (but broken)
- HEBF Optimizer (Free - XDA), not sure about this one but the UI is tidy and it's got some good stuff, personally used to 3C but I have both installed
Running on the SpookyCity v2.5 CM13 Kernel (you have to CM-Auto-Root to get an install without that dirty blue/red in the top left and fix up some root permission issues I was getting), with LineageOS 13.0. Don't install addonsu, pretty sure I got it going using some divine blessing with SuperSU 2.79.
Xposed Modules
- 100M+ Memory Saver
- 3C Toolbox Pro (Free/Paid - Xposed/Play/$9.99) [Xposed-capable] little outdated, but it's got a whole bunch of options for lazy/new/any user
- Adblocker Reborn
- All My...
- Android N-ify
- FS Keyboard
- Xposed Settings Injector
Even though it states the G800F Kernel is just that, for the F model, I managed to get it going primo, gonna see what RR is like so I'll prob do a guide on that to be honest, all I know is this phone was never going this fast before I threw a custom Kernel on it, exponential speed increase.
Sounds like a lot of work. Will keep that in mind but he also made great rom that works really well for now Slim7 which also offers stock UI which looks so much better than lolipop skin from Samsung, so I'm gonna hopefully be able to stick with that.

Just to be noted, that was with a G800Y. That variant doesn't seem to have too much support but I haven't really found anything other than the bands to be that different between the two although I can't seem to get this '1500MHz' clock speed I've seen here and there.
Since I last posted, I installed got rid of MM - the features are great but I have a friend who's running N and their battery life is more than double what it was stock or MM. So I factory reset (TWRP - No need to lose your pictures etc, just make sure to make a .vcf back up of your contacts), flashed the SpookyCity v2.5 RR Kernel and threw on the latest build of Resurrection Remix (2.8.4). No need to opt into the Google scam or anything stock that Samsung has to offer, just use Yalp Store*.
Sure I've lost a handful of features from Xposed, but with a phone that ranges from 35C - 45C combined with a battery life of ~8 hours, kinda worth it. Resurrection Remix is a combination of LOS and another ROM (Resurrection *something*) and it runs flawless. No need for Google because that's the real killer..
*Yalp Store - Featured on the F-Droid repository, you can log in using alt. credentials or even your own (at your own risk!), if you want purchased apps you can use APK Extractor (F-Droid) OR buy it via PS website and use your login. Google isn't in the picture when it comes to enhancing your phones performance, however you can still use the pixel launcher in RR 2.8.4, and if you're curious as to what you can use instead of the Google search engine try DuckDuckGo
IT JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE !

The only reason i want EMUI 9 is because this issue is fixed there.
And not for the "Pie features" in there.
Sarcasm intended.
The problem is solved on emui 9 because the ram management is so aggressive no apps stick around long enough to consume much battery!
I think I had that notification disabled in my device since I'm pretty annoyed too. In my case, it was facebook messenger. Sadly I can't remember how I was able to remove it but I'm sure I found a fix for that just by googling.
You can set power intensive app notifications to off in the settings..
Good Day.
I would like to clarify that I do not know how to create ROMs and I do not know how to write codes(anymore) but since our devices are aging, would be it great to send our Xperia SP off with a bang with an Android GO edition-like ROM? our devices cant handle newer apps and processes anymore but at least I think the Go edition ROM can still make our phones as usable as daily drivers either on Android Q or Pie.
please consider. thank you.
As far as i may concerned, LOW RAM optimisations are already implemented in the codebase for current active ROMs for Huashan. And, to the best of my knowledge, which i may be wrong, these optimisations are derived from Android GO itself. I vaguely remember that at one time this is a main topic said by Adrian the master himself.
Huashan is no longer capable to run modern apps that somewhat uses heavy resources (which i myself don't understand why Instagram needed such a computing power). Unfortunately neither do current Go phones. That is why PWA is a thing to all Go devices. I.e. Maps Go, Twitter Lite, etc.
Of course this is not an objection to your proposal. Just thinking of dropping my thoughts here
Android Oreo and Pie just doesn't cut it well for this phone.
Instead of shoving newer android versions down this phones throat expecting miracles. We should go back to one of Lollipop or marshmallow ROMs and realise how much lag free and usable it is. They're still pretty modern looking and does the job well.

Free yourself from Google and then you'll see how smooth current ROMs are.
Not to mention that they offer battery times like 7-12 days.

I don't use gapps on LOS 15.1. Knowing that they crap the phone out.
LOS 15.1 is good, we get latest security updates, better UI etc.. but hangs and stutters more with apps and multitasking.

I don't agree with that, KaBombaBoom. I ran Oreo for a long time and recently upgraded to Pie. The phone is still surprisingly fast until some hungry app gobbles up all RAM and it starts running on swap.
That's what doesn't cut well for any phone in the long run, those apps that keep growing bigger and bigger and requiring more RAM though mostly or no new functionality is added.
Google Play Services itself is heavy, not to mention other google apps such as their mail, I open it from the browser these days. I'd love to get away without GApps but retaining the deep sleep wake that push notifications provide.

How is your experience with that emcom? Does your phone wakes up from deep sleep when you get IM?
That's the main reason I never tried android without GApps. That and the fact that all drivers are mostly proprietary anyways, so why bother

Of course it wakes up. I've been using it as my daily driver with WhatsApp for some time last year, and it was perfect. There was just one problem which I could not resolve : message backups. I mean, it was working perfectly when I made backups on the SD card, but if I wanted to have them somewhere in the cloud, the only option was the Google Drive - which is not working without Google services.
Btw. it's possible to use One Drive instead of Google Drive (eg. for photos backup in the cloud, but not WhatsApp - if you have maybe Office 365 subscription.
And it's possible to have anything else running without Google - contacts, messaging, even a lot of applications indicating they need Google on the phone - they are working without Google anyway. Thet's except for paid apps, of course.
I find the recent update One UI 2.0 / android 10 making my ram management worst. Before i don't even notice my apps reloading but now that i'm updated to android 10. i get app reload from time to time. Are you guys experiencing it too?

No I didn't see that through the beta and haven't seen it since I received the release version this morning. I'm on a US Snapdragon S10.
S9 Ram Management Issues
Im on my s9 snapdragon beta 3 and I see major
ram management issues. If I dont restart my
phone for 48 hours, I can open calendar, then
open calculator (the two smallest/lightweight
apps I can think of), just switching between these
two leads to reloading every time.
If I restart my phone everyday, I can open maps,
snapchat, spotify, 5 big apps or 10+ small apps no
problem.
