[Q] Lost Hardware Acceleration for Flash all of a sudden? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I recently flashed back to a stock ROM to do some research. That was the moment when I found out that flash videos in stock browser ran just horrible. Scrolling is still smooth though, but the videos themselves just seem to run at a very low framerate, alot of frameskips, too. This really bothers me and I don't know how to tackle that issue. When I got my beloved SGS2, flash videos ran buttery smooth in stock browser, even at 1080p.
Anybody else with that problem? Any known solution?

Unable to play 1080p videos on YouTube after ROM flash

This is very annoying: before I rooted and flashed a new rom (cm7) I was able to butterly-smooth run 1080p videos on yt (considering I had touchwiz and all that crap) . The situation changed after I rooted and flashed cyanogenmod 7, because now it lags horribly which for me (a mediocre user) means that something definitely changed. I confess I've only played a bit with the cpu frequencies using "system tuner pro" but i think it doesn't really matter whether I use the system one or this one... the thing is I'm very worried about this situation and I hope there's a solution for this issue. Please forgive my stupidity. Thank you!

did you install the flash player?
Yes, it was installed. Videos on yt wouldn't have run at all.

[Q] Real Racing 3...slow and low res...phone or game?

Anyone else notice that this game runs slower than it probably should given the specs of this phone? Also, doesn't seem to be rendering in 1080p either.
Running stock 4.2.2 so I'm sure the ROM isn't the issue (ran the same on the stock 4.1.2 as well...slower actually).
Just wondering if my issue is solely my issue or not. Thanks guys!

Major Lag-DNA

So, I'm coming from an LG Lucid, and the damn thing performs better then this DNA. On Sense based ROMS, the DNA is buttery smooth; no issues. On AOSP ROMS however, the DNA has so much lag. Scrolling is pitiful and even Temple Run 2 has a stutter every two seconds. I've tried flashing different kernels, always fails to boot. I forced GPU rendering, no dice. Please help me. I want 4.2.2, but I don't know if I can deal with this awful performance.
EDIT: I downloaded a free app called LagFix which messes with some TRIM issues and all is buttery smooth. Hope this helps anyone on the same boat as myself.

[Q] Best ROM for Video Recording

Looking to use my old tbolt to record band performances. Currently using a 4.04 rom (can't recall which one) and am only getting 12fps at 720p. Wondering if going back to a Gingerbread rom might improve performance. Literally nothing else needs to work, just video. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

[Q] Something wrong with gaming.

Hey folks , I got some strange problems with my phone here.
So,what's my story about. My gaming performance just suddenly got bad. Before,I was on official 4.3 with everything stock and games ran flawlessly. Then I flashed AOSP ROM and everything still worked as it should (games didn't lag) and I was on AOSP for more than 4 months.
Now,I flashed back stock sammy-based ROM , and only after 4 days,I noticed that gaming performance is really bad.
Let's start from the fact that only god knows what I've done with my phone today to fix that, but I was unsucsessful. I changed ROMs,kernels,tweaked my phone,overclocked it,but nothing , games still lag like hell. Real Racing 3 has BIG fps drops,dead trigger 2 (low) has some lag spikes and some fps drops,too. Now I downloaded modern combat 4 and it was unplayable! I haven't flashed stock with odin,as my computer doesn't read my phone in download mode (again!),so I'm lazy to do it on other computer. But still thinking of that. Maybe at least very official ROM is the last hope.
So,can anyone help me? This is the first problem which I can't fix and that's bothering me,though I already got used to fact that now I may have to live without gaming,lol. Not a big problem,as for now. But really? What can be the cause? What's wrong with my phone? Why is UI smooth,why can't I see any lag when watching HD videos and etc, but games lag so badly? Look how good my score in antutu is (no overclocking,cpu and gpu - everything stock):
If you are using a custom kernel disable zram. Real racing 3 will lag when offers are loaded at the title screen. If you get lag in game then you have something else going on.
System panel on the playstore can help you see what is going on. Also disable dvfs with the xposed module as that causes issues with overclocked devices.

I'm not overclocked.
Btw,will try and report back. Thanks!
EDIT: Helped partially,like 20%,but still lags,just less fps drop downs. Thanks for trying to help!
Anyone else. Would like to fix this issue.
No one?
I have similar problem (just posted a help thread about it), in my case it's thermal throttling which is scaling down CPU to 800MHz after 5 mins of playing heavy games. try running CPU analyzer from System Tuner and check if that's the problem.
