Hi,
I really like to play games on the O1 and now I'm looking for the ROM/kernel combo that delivers the best performance. As of right now I'm using Oxygen Rom and fraco kernel 4 (min 480/max 748 @ conservative), and I'm pretty happy with it, but some games like flick quarterback still don't run all that smooth so I was wondering whether there are any better combos. So basically which rom and which kernel would you suggest me to play games with?
Thanks in advance

I have noticed games run differently on some rom's for example on cyanogen mod battleheart 1.2 runs smoothly while on Gingerreal it crashes all the time, so which ROM would be best for gaming? thanks alot.
I usually dont play games on my phone but we all tried angry birds and i'd have to say it worked best when i used CM7, was really laggy at some points when running gb.
btw, wrong section
is CM7 really better at games?
Hey, I have some problems with almost all games, I tryed all, thd games, gameloft games, market games....
I cant play any game smooth, what is wrong, I tested it on all actuell custom roms.
Please help me, the games running blazing fast on my galaxy note, but not on my tab
These would help make it easier on other's to help, Firmware Version and #? What tab version? Custom or Stock Kernel?
But yes I will have to agree, most games that end up scaling are **** laggy, Only game that hasn't lagged on me hard was "Where's My Water?" and "Osmosis HD", if you aren't on 1.4Ghz by Pershoot, most lag so damned hard, BS tegra2
Yoda : I couldn't play initially, lag strong with this one, yes.
Just change the governor in Pershoots Kernel to performance but don't keep it on performance all the time, when your done gaming, change it back to ondemand or something as performance on all the time will kill the tablet faster as it makes the GPU processing 100% making games smooth and lagfree at most.
My tablet was doing that too but then I followed the advice of people in here and installed pershoots kernel and set CPU and set it to 1400 and it got super fast
What governor did you use? Performance?

I did that. My games work perfect now. Thanks
Does anybody else experience lag in games if they use a non stock kernel?
I play a lot of fpse PSX emulator. But if I use a non stock kernel then the games are unplayable, like 5fps, even if I overclock to 2ghz.
As soon as I install stock kernel at 1.5ghz they play fine.
It's a shame really as I like to overclock and have hardware keys
i would also like to know the answer to this question.. i have a lot of hangups and game freezes on anything but stock kernel..
cool,thought it was just me doing something wrong.
After a lot of playing this afternoon the stock kernel just seems so much smoother in everything which is strange really as you would have thought something like doomkernel running at 1800mhz would be much faster.
Well i have rooted my phone and wanted to overclock my S2.. Now i need to install a custom kernel for that , so was thinking of going with siyah..
However i just wanted to know whether is it really worth overclocking? I mean i will go back to stock settings for day to day usage.. but like for playing games and stuff..i would like to overclock my cpu..
There are few 3d games mainly open world ones like gangstar rio city, amazing spiderman which lag a bit even on S2..
So just wanted to know whether overcloking to1.4 or 1.5 will show any improvements or not? Also how does it affect the overall performance of the device i.e. opening apps, swiping through home screens, home screen lag etc.
Answers would be greatly appreciated
thanks

well OC does improve performance of the phone while doing the benchmark test's,but the same is not recommended for longer use since it creates lots of isssue's like Random freezing, rebooting, overheating etc which is not good for ur phone.
hence the best thing is to try out some good kernels like Siyah, fluxi etc and see how ur games fare with there default settings and also u can set the Governers in the same(siyah, Fluxi kernel) and try, that way its safe rather than Overclocking
Well, more performance (but for me not that much) at the expense of battery life and a damaged chip set sooner than later in the future

So do u think installing siyah kernel will have a postive impact on the performance of the phone overall as well as games? by the way regarding OC, ofcourse i wont overclock the whole time , only when playing those demanding 3d games..
more replies especially from experienced overclockers would be appreciated, thanks..
I am not installing any custom rom currently as RR and few others have reportedly been not so stable for gaming..the games crash or force close etc..
so gonna stick with stock rom for now..but i do want a performance enhancing kernel
You won't need to overclock at all whilst playing games. The cpu will be more than sufficient and stock speeds. Also the gpu does main of the gaming bits and that will have no problem as it can play tegra games
well thats d prob..there are few games that do lag on d great s2 lol as mentioned in my post... so was wonderkng wheyher overclocking cpu and/or gpu will affect performance or not..
thanks for f replies though
So do you guys have answer? I want to use my phone for gaming, music and video playing.
What ROM is best for it? CM10 isn't really good as the games lag with any kernel I tried.
For me, the best performance Have viper3d sense 4.1 rom with anthrax kernel... yes it can be funny because of sense, but every other rom cm10 or miui (For me) lags in games more than sense 4.1 . Just install few, play games and u will see which is best. Dont forget to O/C Cpu to 1.5ghz and gpu.
Honestly phone and gaming shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Try playing any game console with your hands in front of the tv and you get the idea.

How to find the right one?
There is no such thing as the best ROM. Period.
