For the galaxy s2, you can boost your gaming experience by using a custom kernel like DorimanX and overclocking your device. Play around with the kernel settings to get optimal performance for your device. TRIM you devices with a TRIM enabled kernel which will boost your phone's read and write speed.

Thanks for advice but I really don't know anything about kernels. Can you help me on that? Now, I'm using resurrection Remix Kitkat rom. Is there any kernel compatible with that? Or what should I do? Should I go back to 4.0 or smth for best gaming-performance experience?

Try flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-dorimanx-jb-4-4-4-t3123487
Install the latest version and see how it goes. If something goes wrong, just reflash the ROM.
As for stock ROM, you may get slightly better gaming performance if you do switch back, but IMO it's not worth it. You do lose a lot of features on newer android versions.

[Q] Anyone know of a good, stable custom ROM for the Go?

Title says all. I'd like to know if anyone knows of a decent ROM for my mum's XGO, which has been mostly suffering from random lockups and reboots with the stock ROM, even despite resetting and/or reloading the original firmware. Any JB/KitKat firmware may do, as long as it's good enough as a daily driver.

AOSX is my favourite! It is smooth but with the use of Greenify, App Quarantine, Seeder and No-Frills CPU become very smooth for save battery life and keep the rom smooth use Conservative governor max:800Mhz min:200Mhz and Sio scheduler(is the best for dual-core devices)

Which kernel should I put?

Hello there! I've a question: I had Slimkat rom in my Galaxy S3 (I9300) but for many reason I moved to Resurrection Remix, everything is ok except the bad audio recording quality, the bad consumption of battery and an anomalous heating of CPU and battery in the daily use. I have the stock kernel, should I try to change it with someone else? If yes, which? Can you post the links?
Sorry for my bad english. Be patient :silly:

There are couple of kernels that you can use with Resurrection Remix: Boeffla, GoogyMax2 and Agni.
Boeffla is more popular for soundmods though.
They're mentioned in the ROM thread as well.
Please check development section for kernel threads.

Someone recommended Onmi version when I checked last time. You can ask RR users on the main thread for their opinion.
I've personally used CM version and it worked fine except a few things here and there.
Note: If you have camera issues, you can check Rohan's Camera Fix in Apps, Themes section. I used v2.3 and worked best for me

Wrong kernel = bootloop
In severe cases even permanent damage (esp if you flash for wrong device). Most of the times it's nothing to worry about though. Just make sure you check the version with ROM users first.
Nandroid is fine and make /efs backup (not needed atm but always crucial for future uses). :good:

I never took the time to really test differents setting with boeffla. Sultan's was really good on OOS 2.
Out of the box, the Blackreactor on the lasts versions was really good.

Performance base setup for i9100 Suggestions

Hi guys,
Trying to setup an i9100 for daily use but something that does not freeze and runs without any issue.
Currently have been using cm13 with lanchon kernel but I am finding that it does freeze a little.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated whether it be changing/over clocking the settings.
Also happy to try new thing and other roms.
Thanks for any help.

Try cm13 by marcox with or without dorimanx kernel, it runs smooth without the kernel, but if you want over clocking and cpu or Gpu adjustments use dorminax kernel with the rom, u can also try lineage Os 14.1, it's so smoother than cm13 official rom.

You can follow this post to update to LineageOS:
Post link
I'm a bit behind with the latest release of LineageOS nightlies as I'm on the Galaxy S5 currently, but I assume the process is the same.
Alternatively, if you are already happy with the stability and features (some are missing in Lineage) of CM13, just use CM13 by Markox. Don't flash any additional kernels to ensure maximum compatibility and stability.

If stability and battery are the main considerations, would you advise using one of these kernels with miui or staying with the stock kernel?

That strongly depends on your usage pattern. But custom kernels are made to perform better than stock kernels. Every kernel has its own characteristics, some are performance biased and some biased towards battery savings. But for everyday usage I'd suggest a kernel which can balance both performance and power savings.
As far as kernels for mido which have MIUI support, I'd suggest Stormguard kernel as it is pretty well balanced.
But in the future if you plan on flashing a custom ROM then go for Franco or ElectraBlue kernel.

Tbh i don't think that miui should be used with a custom kernel, cuz the rom is already optimised. And the kernel in made to work efficiently, so in a word no tbh.
But mann why are you not trying out the custom roms if you are having an unlocked bootloader? I mean there lies a whole world of awesomeness and performance on the other side of rom world

Only because I have a problem with custom ROMs, but not with MIUI ROMs, where the phone goes into a bootloop, apparently from overheating. If I could solve that, I would certainly use custom ROMs.

If you want to like prevent overheating, then what you can do is like underclock the kernel. Setting the max frequency to something around 1.3 to 1.0 ghz will greatly help with the temps.

I like miui but I'm annoyed by the bug Wich causes the CPU to get stuck at 1689 MHz till I reboot.
I would like to flash a custom kernel to get rid of this or just find the fix.

Underclock kills the performance. Might even kill the cpu, might*
