Hi everybody.
Right now, I am using ResurrectionRemix 1.7 ROM and the Siyah 3.2b8 Kernel. I love both the ROM AND the Kernel, however, a while ago, I noticed the performance of my SGS2 being pretty bad.
Now, before you call me a noob that knows nothing about Smartphones, Custom-ROMS, Kernel, etc., please, do me the favor and read on.
I know that neither ResurrectionRemix or Siyah Kernel are optimal if you want pure power and maximum Performance. I have always been a Fan of balanced battery/performance. However, I find it to be quite bizarre that my phone gets very bad scores in Benchmarks.
I know that benchmarks can be unaccurate/treaturous/not representative, but the thing is that I never got a higher score than 4000 on AntutuBenchmark and no more than around 2500 on Quadrant, no matter what settings and tweaks I use!
I have tried so many of them and the scores never really changed much.
For example, yesterday, I flashed the new Version of my Kernel (Siyah 3.2b8). I then changed the ExTweaks settings to "performance" in CWMRecovery. I overclocked my CPU to 1400MHz with VoltageControl, locked it (with performance governor) and changed the scheduler to VR.
I still only got 3264 on Antutu and 2442 on Quadrant...
Before that, I had tweaked my Kernel (using ExTweaks) with the sample values given in the awesome Tweaks Post by droidphile. I really tried lots of different Tweaks and settings, but never got any good results in Benchmarks. NEVER!
I would be glad if some of you had suggestions what could be the Problem. I know you can easily get to 6000 (Antutu) or 4000 (Quadrant) with the GSG2. Normally, I am not the guy who just cares about Benchmarks and compares it with others on a daily basis, however, this (very) low performance of my phone really intrigues me. After all, we bought the GSG2 for its awesome Power capabilities, didn't we?
Info:
I have quite a lot of Apps installed (about 190), if that helps.
As you have failed to read the rules and post in the wrong section you are a noob or worse .
Its been well posted for over a year benchmarks are a waste of time Quadrant in particular .
No two benchmarks run one after the other are the same .
jje
You have some thing ****ing your results and maybe your overall performace with games are affect.
Did you tried full wipe ?
Here with stock lp9 + siyah 3.2b8 i got 4400 quadrant and 6500 antutu
Using CM9 3900 on quadrant and 6100 antutu.

I also Have same problem
First of all, I am very sorry to have posted in the false section.
@ Eric-Filth: Thanks for your answer!
I often did a data wipe/factory reset when I tried different ROMs.
My games run fine more or less, but I am sure that the performance could be better/smoother.
Again: I have NO IDEA why absolutely everyone has better results than me.
@ JJEgan: Yeah I know Benchmarks are often inaccurate, but I did run them so often and always got about the same results (very bad ones, obviously). It only varied about 100-200 points in both benchmarks. That is not too big of a difference, is it? But whatever, that is not what matters. Do you have a suggestion, noble sir?
BTW: Thanks for the quick judge! Compared to you, I am definitely a noob. So, why don't you use your wisdom to make suggestions for a noob like me?
No offense, m8!
Cheers!
Looking you results both benchmarks showing your problem is with cpu performace. Gpu performace is ok.
Enviado do meu GalaxyS2 usando Tapatalk 2.1
did you restore via titanium backup after wiping?
Yeah but what could be the problem? As far as I know, a modern CPU cannot be half-broken. It either works correctly or it's broken completely. The only reason I can imagine is overheating (thermal throttling lowering the performance), but that doesn't seem to be the case, as my phone hardly ever gets very hot...
Mine is also lagging in performance also around 2200in quadrant

@bluefa1con: errrrrr it's possible that I backed up my apps from stock after rooting and before installing my first custom ROM, which was actually the ResurrectionRemix ICS 1.x. After a while I backed up the ResRemix ROM with CWM and tried different ROMs but I eventually came back to Resurrection because I like this ROM most.
So yeah, I might have restored Apps with Titanium Backup when I first installed ResRemix.
Could that really be a problem?
Big thanks anyway!
I have almost sure if you do full wipe and no restore anything and install all again this problem will resolve.

Besides the benchmarks (sigh), how else have you noticed? If the answer is that you haven't, move on with your life.

maybe some of the data in your backup is corrupt and runs in the background and ruins performance
My phone went from 4k+ on stock Rom to less than 3 with ics resurrection..the rom is blazing fast and hence I don't really care.

Thank you very much! All of you!
I will do a full wipe and install everything all over again.
Only two more little questions:
1. Is there a "best" way to do the full wipe? After doing a factory reset and wiping the caches, I would go to mounts and storages and format internal storage. Would that do the trick?
2. Is there any way I can keep the user data of the apps so I don't lose all of my settings, game saves,...?
Cheers!

Have two good methods.
1- if you using stock rom. Type *2767*3855#
2- if you using custom. Enter CWM Recovery and wipe "data" "system" "cache"
I keep my save games this way.
/data/data/nameyourgame/files probaly you save game is there or inside /android/data/nameyourgame/
Post your results later.

Hi there. Why am i getting only about 1000 quadrant score, while everyone getting somewhat like 1500 on the same roms?
Do i have a different hardware or what?
Different roms will get you different results. Gingerbread roms appear to run around 1000+ while Froyo roms run closer to 1300+. Run it a few times and you should get a better score. Quadrant doesn't really matter too much though. What's important is how the phone feels for you not what a graphic tells you.
Thanks for reply, but the problem is that i'm having different results than people on the same rom.
And does the quadrant score affects on how smooth the games are running?
Do you have a lot of apps installed on your internal memory? The "cleaner" the phone is the more optimized. Junk apps will definitely decrease performance. As for running games, quadrant doesn't affect how smooth your game is running but does show performance measures that could be related to efficiencies of your phone. Theoretically, the higher the quadrant score the better your phone will be at running your games.
What file system are you using...quadrant takes your free space for apps in score consideration..
If your using data2sd and have 2gb for internal(ext2,3,4) then quadrant is going to show a better score than those on rfs.

Oh ok..
But my point was having lesser apps and having more. Internal space will increase the quadrant..
Sent from my GT-I5800 using Tapatalk
Which rom(s) are you using?
FYI - Fresh install of 2.1 will only get you around 500. JIT enabled gets you around 600+, removing additional junk apps will get you 700+. 2.2 Roms will get you over 1000+ easily. Z's Froyo beta 3 got me around 1500+. Others including Gingerbread hover around 900-1300.
I have tried CM7.0.3 J020c and trip's froyo.
In both roms my quadrant is about 1000, but for other people trip's rom giving them about 1400-1500.
I am on wolfbreaks rom..(as per my signature)
The only other thing i do is move all aps to the sd card that can be moved and leave the ones with widgets on my internal memory.
I average about 1450 to 1550 with my best score of 1609.
Run it a few times as well..
On J's rom I run around 900-1200. Never tried running quadrant on Trip's froyo but on his Arc rom I get around 1000-1250. Again, quadrant isn't that big of a deal. Your games will run fine on your phone. Remember, try to have more free internal memory and get rid of junk apps you don't need.
on wolfbreaks rom. i move all apps to the sd card (except widgets)
1300 - 1400
Okay, thank you, guys, quadrant isn't important, but it's kinda wierd that i'm having lower stats than other people.

Its not weird at all. Everyone has different apps and settings which affect benchmarks differently. Higher Quadrant scores don't neccessarily translate to better performance either so why does it matter. Also in order to get reliable scores in quadrant you need to run it twice in a row as the OS will kill apps and adjust as the test runs the first time and the second test is always higher and more consistent.

Hello everybody, I'm opening the thread just to read opinions from you all about the kernels that are currently available.
The one I've been using is void #echo, which in my humble opinion with the combination of a tweaked deadline scheduler and a lionheart governor provides great performance, battery life and minimum lag whatsoever.
I do understand that it depends on needs which shall be used, however, I would like to know which one to you guys works smoother and provides better performance / battery life.
I always aim for performance over battery life (I didn't buy a SGSII to get poor performance )
In terms of battery life, I can get it up to 22~23 hours on battery, using WCDMA only / HSPA+ during day and enabling airplane mode during night.
Fast Dormancy disabled and deep sleep working correctly (XXKL1).
I don't like the complexity of siyah and to be good on batt you have to tweak it more with UV and thing like that ,wish is not my style to make trying/errors on my brand new 600$phone !
I tried speed mod wish is very great actually with great overall perform
void echo is the one Im trying right now ! since 2 days its feel very strong and good on battery with good performance on games without getting the phone very hot
neak is good but its more a copy/past of the overall coders over wish is good in one sense but its a bit laggy in game with lucrative mod but defenatly one of my favorite kernel out there ! Im waiting for 1.3 to let simone correct some bugs
Siyah is the tweakers' heaven. You can fine tune every last bit of your phone.
I personally love void, it feels very fast and has good battery life.
I tried NEAK for a short time and it seemed fine but quite many report lag in games(using on demand governor seems to fix it though).
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm waiting for N.E.A.K 1.3x too

as one of the posts above said siyah is the tweakers heaven..haha trust me i never used it before as i thought it was to complicated. but once you have done your reading and read other peoples posts and what they do to get the best out of the kernel you have a winner...all the rest look good i am not saying anything bad but for me from now on any rom i use siyah is coming with me due to the fact it has so many options to it and so much i can play around with i am in heaven
hope that helps...oh and on a side note i have been tempted to upgrade to a different rom but the current base i am using and with the kernel i have and the settings that i am using the only time i will actually jump ship is if one there is a stable cm9 out there by the amazing team hacksung. Two if Gokhanmoral does a siyah kernel for cm9 which i think will be when kernel sources are made available and three cause i have already my voodoo app all configured with my poweramp player to get the best sound possible i would be foolish to make the step at this moment of time...
So my advice for battery speedmod if you are not into tweaking alot with voltages and clock frequencies and if you want the best of both worlds then siyah
siyah 2.6.4.

Great feedback bro, I tried Siyah in the past but honestly when I used it I didn't know there were parameters to tweak (didn't check the REF documentation LOL).
Do you get smoother behavior / better performance / higher benchmark scores tweaking the parameters? In quadrant I get around 4604 with void.echo.
as my "personal" opinion...
since i instaled V3RTR3MA.V.4.0 rom, i've been using void#echo
couldn't ask for more its fast and stable... nothing too complicated and i could get 8186 in the quadrant benchmark... a really great kernel...
void echo.By far best kernel for common user,who doesn't want to do all kind of tweaks&stuff.By default is great.If you are into a litle tweaking, you can OC and UV without any issues.
I used it since it was released.No issues at all, battery friendly, great performance.
Trully a KISS principle follower.
My personal advice to all,avoid all roms&kernels that are heavily customized and have alot of useless "tweakes" and scripts on them.The more things on it, more chances of breaking up.
Look for simple builds,as close as it can be to stock,eye candy is not performance.
Jkay makes great themes wich you can apply to the rom.

100% agree most of the battery better and greater speed for these kernels is actually unproven and just advertising bumf .
I have used the kernels listed in the topic and in each case stock kernel has benchmarked better using multiple tests .

I agree with your opinion, and that's the reason why I use only Sammy Stock ROMs
I've flashed a number of roms and kernels in the past few months since May, best combination for me is usually a near stock rom, plus a stable kernel like Speedmod, they just work without needing any tweaking apart from custom set up that's it.
I don't generally like the number of tweaks in some roms but each to their own.
I find stock fine and fluid and stable enough without much problems.
Yeah..i get 6500+ without rawr and oc to 1600.you forget one thing,ALL other kernels have tweaked I/O scheduler enabled. Knzo says very clear in his thread.it's a way to cheat,that's why this tweak is not default on his kernel.
About rom,look for odexed.tornado2 by brotuck is one of the best around(odexed,pretty much stock,only useless apps removed from it).combined with jkay theme and coid echo...my s2 flies

Thanks for the suggestion dude! I'll take a look to it! Beside the removal of stock apps, what tweaks are included to achieve that score?
Best kernel so far for me is hardcore's speedmod.
Fast, first time I broke the 6000 barrier on Antutu benchmark without overclock. And great battery life, one full day + charging only by the end of day two, with normal use.
Normal use for me is making phone calls, surfing web and playing games sometimes, not more than 20min per "session". Turning wifi and 3g off when phone on standby. And switching to airplane mode overnight.
And yes I tried other kernels....

but itv very big for me
and i feel the changing with smoothness the s3 is incredible smooth
so my question is,should i root it and put custom rom?
because in my notre i change almost every 3 days the rom because the note little bit lag
but here with s3 its looks goddes with everything
so should i do it it will be better with the custom roms or it will make it more lag then the stock??????

It really depends on the rom and kernel you are using. At the moment I am on Omega 4.2 (going to update to 5.0 now) and SiyahKernel 1.0 over clocked at 1.6GHz. I find the S3 very smooth, more compared to stock. The stock rom is pretty smooth but if you feel that there is a lag you could always install a custom rom and kernel. With the SiyahKernel you can overclock upto 1.8GHz.

What is even the point of overclocking this phone with the software available now? There is really no need. I've actually used SetCPU to downclock my CPU when battery gets below 40% to save battery, and even more at 20%.. and it still runs fine.You're just wasting battery and shortening the life of your phone.
Stock is smooth as poop, ask yourself if you're happy with smoothness and speed.. Why risk to get weird bugs like camera fc all of the sudden etc?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Agree you need to read what the custom rom is offering in real terms not hype and decide . bear in mind that every custom rom built claims to be faster smoother saves your battery and will fly you to your destination in first class .Few say hey this rom is slower than stock as i have messed with stuff and cut and pasted a few themes .

PS saying that i am in the process of flashing a stock rom purely to test out my recovery procedures for getting back to a clean stock rom .
I have a question about installing a custom ROM, will it wipe your device after installing the custrom ROM? (I want to install the latest firmware AF2) TIA

Nope, underclocking won't harm it, having a massive overclock for most of the phone's life will probably shorten it's lifespan though.
I have two puzzling questions. I have installed both the AtrICS Rom and the ICSROM, from which two issues have surfaced.
1) The AtrICS Rom feels slightly cooler than the ICSROM (both are warmer than they should be, but that's expected with a new source code).
Has anyone else noticed this? I have tested both AtrICS 1.0 and ICSROM 1.3
2) The battery life using AtrICS appears to be slightly better than ICSROM.
Has anyone else noticed this?

1) "coolness" depends on how you use the phone, and what frequencies it is running at. It is only affected by your usage.
2) Battery life also depends on that. Seeing as the AtrICS rom is cooler in your case, it means you are using it less and therefore the battery life is better.
ICSROM is based on AtrICS so it should not change much the battery issue and the problems that are already known. In my case I'm running AtrICS, with some modifications I'm testing, and apparently the battery life is much better.
the 2 roms are the same thing

If you could share those modifications...
I am testing both AtrICS and ICSROM with the same applications; i.e. Dolphin Browser, Shadowgun, Wild Blood, etc., and I have noticed that ICSROM is warmer and more sluggish during heavy use. Is there something I can send you to show you my results? Maybe the modifications in build.prop in AtrICS are the cause.

well i have downloaded both
what i wil do.....
restore my aps (without data of course) using titanium backup....
doing this, i will have the same apps on both.
will test using webtop etc....
im currently installing atrICS 1.0 as i type this n ICSROM 1.3 is being downloaded so will see how it goes
I have deleted some lines as suggested from other posts in regards to ICSROM, installed AnTuTu CPU Master Pro and TB Pro. I can see some increase in battery life with the default profile set at 216 min and 816 max. I won't be able to see any major results for a couple of days. Purchasing the pro versions of AnTuTu CPU Master and TB were worth it. I will keep an eye on my system stats.
P.S. I am a noob, but can you dual boot two roms? If so, how? Also, in regards to a few posts behind this one, did I read correctly where you said you will try both roms out at the same time?

Well I been using AtrICS n its been his so far. Only had about 5 this and phone got hot but back to normal now
Also did a benchmark and its low. Lower than standard antic but the phone moves very smooth n easy with this ROm
i got rid of atrICS because the battery life was awful, think i had 6 hours on my 3rd day or using the rom, i sent 10 messages uysing whatsapp, used 15 minutes of internet and half an hour of music and it was dead..
some problems...
i am a taiwan version atrix user(me860)
after i flash atrics or icsrom
my atrix will reboot again and again automatic
and the frequency is so high that i cant use it
what can i do now?
My experience:
I was getting more random reboots with ICSROM+it ate my battery little bit faster than AtrICS, so I would suggest AtrICS. I didnt flash latest build of ICSROM, but i dont believe battery life is much better.

P.S. I am a noob, but can you dual boot two roms? If so, how? Also, in regards to a few posts behind this one, did I read correctly where you said you will try both roms out at the same time?
Please and Thanks!

well as AstroBoy89 did. i installed AnTuTu CPU Master, the free verson though.
i had gotten 4 reboots in total n those were with the spaace of an hour...
i have not gotten any since... but now i have installed the cpu master n lower max cpu a tad bit cause i realize it fluctuates alot and this can cause the phone to get HOT and thereby GREATLY decreasing battery life......
since doign that, phone been running cool, smooth, no reboots.....

I have two puzzling questions. I have installed both the AtrICS Rom and the ICSROM, from which two issues have surfaced.
1) The AtrICS Rom feels slightly cooler than the ICSROM (both are warmer than they should be, but that's expected with a new source code).
Has anyone else noticed this? I have tested both AtrICS 1.0 and ICSROM 1.3
2) The battery life using AtrICS appears to be slightly better than ICSROM.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Please and Thanks for answering! <(^_^)>

I truly think both of them are based on the same kernel and rom, however I found some difference like why mymusic on ICSROM works but doesn't work on AtrICS. And Weatherwidgets which I love very much could not be installed on ICSROM...
well guys
things to a turn for the worst for me!!!!
my battery goes from 100% to 1% in about 2 hrs!
n yes i have take every battery saving step...
reinstalling rom from scratch after full wipe and downloaded app directly from store (did not restore anything from previous backup)
hmmm......
gonna try ICSROM and see how that goes
Make sure you're doing a full wipe between roms.
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Wipe dalvik
Under mounts and storage in CWM...
Wipe /system
Wipe /osh
Wipe /preinstall
Then:
Flash Webtop with CWM
Flash Rom
*Flash Apps package if needed
Reboot!

Try this .apk, it should help with the battery calibration.

Well, i didn't try the atrICS, but i'm using the ICSROM since the v1.3 and now the v1.4. My battery maximum life was 14h and a few minutes, but not on heavy use. It's not warming too much, in fact, it's cooler than my gb stock. Games are running smooth. I'd only like camera quality to be better, and battery life to be longer.
Hey guys I just got NFS: Most Wanted on the ATT Note. The gameplay and the controls are great but the game sort runs in slowmo. Anybody else getting different performance in other ROMS?
I'm running flapjaxx's AOSP ICS rom W/ GPU OC and CPU OC. I assume the slowness is due to the Note's large resolution and it's not quite as optimized as it could be for our phones. It is smooth but just terribly slow.
UPDATE
OOOOKAY guys I am back with some interesting results!
I continued to try more roms and see the performance with Need for Speed Most Wanted. I first tried Flapjaxx's stock ICS rom with touchwiz with an overclock kernel and gpu OC. That ran better than any of the AOSP but still had some slowness to it.
Seeing as the stock roms tended to give more performance, I tried another stock rom. This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766933. No OC kernel, everything stock pretty much. Here is what happened:
1. I restored NFS from titanium
2. NFS says this android is not compatible
3. I uninstall NFS and install it from the Playstore and redownload the SD data
4. Ran the game and observed that there was little to no lag! Well I'm sure it could be a bit better, the frame rate was totally playable and it actually felt speedy!
Now i'm not sure what is happening here. Either 1. the game downloaded a new SD data with lower graphics requirements, 2. the game recognized the device as a different device and choose the graphics setting accordingly, OR 3. the device just performs better @ mostly stock. Now can anybody inform me on how the SD Data actually works that would be great so I can pinpoint what it is.
My next test will be using the above rom that yielded good performance with flapjaxx's OC/GPU kernel to see if it speeds up the frames anymore.
UPDATE 2
After a bit more testing I see that without the OC kernel and using the kernel from 'better stock' ROM above, the road actually is missing some water and effects which is probably leading to the smoother gameplay! If anybody else is testing this let me know what your results are!
UPDATE 3
Trying out flappjaxx's Jelly Bean rom with his GPUOC and CPUOC. No surprise there, graphics got bumped up.
What I did notice is that there is almost NO DIFFERENCE in frames (from what I could see) from Stock rom + AOSP/JB roms with OC kernel in BUMPER CAMERA MODE despite the higher graphics. To be clear, those of you on AOSP that are already using bumper mode will not get higher frames in bumper mode on something like a stock rom. There is little to no difference in bumper modes. Should be all that I can test now. I will be sticking with this Jellybeanie and playing NFS in bumper camera mode myself (in car view).
EA, give us graphic options. That is all.
UPDATE 4
In conclusion:
Game is somehow determining the graphics through the kernel
SD Data downloaded is the same on every rom, don't have to download new SD Data.
Some roms perform better than others. I had a lot of luck with Jelly Bean roms on stock kernel, no need to overclock.
Figured I'd give you guys a ranking list from roms. Going from best to worst
1. Latest Jelly Bean Nightly 11/21 Stock Kernel - Great out of car and even faster in car - graphics medium
2. Flapjaxx's FJ Stock Rom Mod - OCGPU/CPU best performance (in car view only) - graphics high
3. Electro's Stock Rom - Stock Kernel with no OC Okay performance in both out of car view and in car view - graphics medium
im running AOPK milestone 1, You can kinda play the game....but all the cars are black the buildings are black and the road is black....Not really sure what is going on! but I do get the slowmo at first but after I go to the menu and go back to playing the game it starts to run smoothly....in black that is!
I noticed the slowness as well, I switched to the in car view and it runs much better. Give that a try...
Sounds like u downloaded the wrong SD data

That's jelly bean right? I had some problems running games and with graphical glitches in jelly bean until I turned off HW overlay and that stopped my problems.

Wow, yeah running in that camera mode is a lot better. Hopefully the fix the issues completely. Thanks for the tip!

What do you mean?
Seems to run a little laggy on mine, and it's a real battery hog as well

Ditto, switching to in-car view is definitely a lot smoother, has decent graphics but looks like the limit of S3 Adreno 225 chip has been reached, this (and other games of similar graphic quality) may be enough reason for me to upgrade to note 2 later. I also have slow down problem with NBA 2K13.
No real graphic glitch however, if you see missing textures it has to be wrong sd data, remember we are Snapdragon NOT Mali.
Im on liquid RC7 with KK.12 kernel no overclocking and the game seems to run fine for me with no lags..however Tomdg07 is right its a battery hog which quite frankly isnt a surprise. I just got off a 30 minute subway ride and I was playing it the entire time..used up exactly 20% of the battery.

Really? No lag? Hmm, what's that ROM? Is it one of the Jellybeanies? Have you tried in car view to see if it is even faster than out car?

Yes indeed no lag at all - Liquid is a jellybeanie you can find it in the original development thread. To be honest I havent had the need to try in car view because the out car view has been working fine.
I should mention though that whilst I have not over clocked I am using several build prop tweaks some of which Im sure optimize graphics and what not.

Just tried NFS Most Wanted on Liquid with KK Kernel and no luck. I even tried some build prop tweaks. It just feels too slow. Weird.
Going to try deleting it and redownloading the SD Data instead of restoring it from Titanium. Will report back with results.
EDIT: No go either. Still low frame rates. On a good note however, Liquid Jellybean Rom is probably the most stable of the Jellybeanies.

UPDATE
Tried the OC Kernel on the stock ROM which lead it to being slow again! I'm not sure now what to think. Going to wipe and go back to the 'better stock' kernel not the 'pure stock'.
After a bit more testing I see that without the OC kernel, the road actually is missing some water and effects which is probably leading to the smoother gameplay! If anybody else is testing this let me know what your results are!
I really just wish there was an in-game settings option to reduce the graphics quality...... (if there is and I'm missing it please fill me in)

Agreed. Right now there is no way to change graphics quality. Certainly would save me trouble. What I think is happening is that with some Roms and Kernels the game thinks we have higher hardware and cranks up the graphic quality thus slowing down the performance of the game.
What I found is every time I used an OC kernel of some type, the game slows. So it might be a kernel issue.
I just cant comprehend why despite having the same phone and same setup (i.e. rom, kernel etc) we get totally different results.
PS> Tomdg07 props to your state for pushing obama over the 270 he needed to win. Americans totally made up for giving dubya two terms.
I was testing some more Roms yesterday including Black IV and Electro's stock debloated Rom. Black IV had flapjaxx's kernel with the ability to OC and on the Electro was not OCable.
My results were the same. Something about flapjaxx's kernel or kernels with the ability to OC makes the game bump up in graphics thus making it slower. The game must be scanning the clockspeed or something or maybe it's something deeper than that. If I can I want to test out AOSP roms again to see if its the kernel or both the kernel + the rom.
Trying out flappjaxx's Jelly Bean rom with his GPUOC and CPUOC. No surprise there, graphics got bumped up.
What I did notice is that there is almost NO DIFFERENCE in frames (from what I could see) from Stock rom + AOSP/JB roms with OC kernel in BUMPER CAMERA MODE despite the higher graphics. To be clear, those of you on AOSP that are already using bumper mode will not get higher frames in bumper mode on something like a stock rom. There is little to no difference in bumper modes. Should be all that I can test now. I will be sticking with this Jellybeanie and playing NFS in bumper camera mode myself (in car view).

UPDATE: Those of you that are finding this page and reading this post. Look on the front page for what roms are the best for this game.
Got an alert to update the game when opening it, after updating it won't even open, anyone else issues after update?

Same issue. Luckily I had a backup of the SD data on my hard drive so I can revert back. But yeah something messed up in that download messed up the game for us.

Only form of a backup I have is in the nandroid backup I did before flashing cm10, I suppose I could dig it out of there somehow, but I'll give them a day or two to fix it first
