I saw on a website that Rezound doesn't have gyroscope , is this true ?

No, it doesn't have a gyroscope. I'm not aware of any phone which does. The Rezound does have an accelerometer, which can sometimes do similar things.

Accelerometers, yes. Gyroscopes are now in many phones but older or cheaper phones may not have them. Reading around the web suggests most mid and high end phones this past year or so have gyros, but there are still exceptions. Searching the web also brings up a running list on another forum:
http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/308045-androids-gyros.html
This list is not necessarily accurate (Vivid has a gyro, and the Razr has the hardware but conflicting reports on it being engaged at launch) but it reflects how not all phones may come with this component. Note the Rezound's predecessor, the Thunderbolt, doesn't seem to have one - that was surprising.

True, Temple Run probably does just use the accelerometer to accomplish its simple movements. Same goes for a lot of games. Gyros are more often used for accurate movements and are in games like GTA III and Asphalt 6 (though users sometimes get "bugs" from the gyro not initializing accurately and need to recalibrate it.)
Now, it is also worth noting that programming for backwards compatability ensures the app "degrades gracefully":
http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2011/01/how-to-use-gyroscope-api-and-remain.html?m=1
So an app may, for example, be coded to "prefer" using a gyro and accelerometer together for movement input for top notch performance, then roll back to just the accelerometer if gyro isn't there. Just the jist of things there without getting too technical.
Yes, the rezound has a gyroscope.

I've been trying to search around as to why you'd need anything more than 3 fingers touching the screen at once(realistically only 2), and i can't find anything.
can someone explain the reasoning for it?
same thing with the 10 point multitouch.

consider this...
i know that we have the fingerprint scanner which seems to be a good tool for privacy. but a multi-point / pattern should increase the security of the pattern, if that's your lock preference.
and i'm sure it wont be long until we see mods for zooming and scrolling. possibly even page flipping. personally i'd like to see it incorporated to work with the clipboard. that would greatly multiply browsing and searching speed. not to mention the uses that could be handy with terminal emulator.

why do you need more than 2 or even 3 fingers for that game?

Android doesn't have lag. It suffers from low framerate at times, but latency is not the issue.
That said, the only place I ever see low framerate is when I have a huge widget list to scroll through.

Okay, just gave 1.1 a shot. Apps are in fact loading up faster when pressed but that's the only thing I notice so far. Can't have a final say on anything else because it's so hard to tell on a Quad Core device with Jelly Bean. But thanks for letting us know of this.
Haven't tried it myself but....
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/
There are valid concerns about lag and how the Android OS handles them, and there is discussion currently ongoing within the Android Code about this, but this fix does not address those issues and instead gives performance gains through boosting CPU speed. The developer himself stated that this could in effect reduce battery life, since the hack is waking the CPU every second.

I grabbed this a few days ago when you mentioned it on CTO (thanks buddy). I notice apps opening noticably faster when it's running. I have it set to "start automatically on boot" but any time I "remove all" from a home button long press, which I do after I've been on my phone for a while, the app stops running and I forget to restart it. I wish it would persist that.

My theory is that people are launching apps before and then enabling it and testing those apps. Thing is, they are all loaded and load instantly.

I tried explaining the the thread that Steve Kondik isn't endorsing the app like they think he is. He performed his own tests, with his own compiled code and saw some inexplicable results.
Seeder didn't do anything for him on any device he has.
A moderator deleted it though, conveniently. They of course left behind the part where CM is allegedly endorsing it though.

If the games that aren't compatible are free games, I'd suggest just downloading the apk and sideloading it. One of the reason they aren't "compatible" may be due to the DNA being classified as a phablet by some people (which is the reason why Skype isn't available on the DNA).

I think the resolution of our screen is an issue more than it huge size.

Well they're listed as being used for 'contextual awareness' and'natural language' so maybe the contextual processor has something to do with it. this all depends though on how those processors operate on a firmware level. big difference if they are simply nonconputing but aware cores used to activate the main application processors like most sensor processors or they actually run specific software actions like Motorola seems to be alluding to with the nomenclature.
I would suggest running a hotplug governor to produce a similar effect.

almost every kernel that allows customization has some type of hotplug governor, although they don't always call it that. Hotplug simply means it only (should) turn on cores when they are needed. theoretically, that means your phone should only be running one core to display the active notifications. do your research on whatever kernel peaks your interest and try it out.

Hmm maybe, but I don't know what hardware it would use that we don't already have. It's just the front facing camera and gyroscope/accelerometer I believe. It sees you're looking at the screen then you tilt for it to scroll. So maybe it could be possible, but assuming the actual code for that was created by Samsung, it's probably close-sourced.
In that case, OP, don't you think something like this would've already existed before the GS4 if it could've been done? It's not really a revolutionary idea, but the coding itself may be pretty complicated. My guess is that if programming U.I. behavior based on the coordination of multiple sensors was within the capabilities of developers before Samsung threw money at it, then it would've been an app on the play store already.
Of course, I have no idea if that's the case regarding our XDA developers or Samsung's, I'm just guessing.
