best rom/settings for gaming - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now before I catch heat for asking which ROM is best I don't want any developer on here to think I'm against their work.
Now, I'm trying to find the quickest ROM on here for gaming. I'm using the ktmana kernel and I know that speed comes from that but I've read that using the PA ROM actually hurts gaming performance. So I'm trying to figure out which ROM and kernal settings are best for gaming like nfs

I've found CM10.2 and Flaming Monkey to get great framerates in NFS, RR3, and Asphalt 8 with KTManta, 1300MHz CPU, and overclocked GPU.
PAC, Rootbox, and PA all didn't do too well. I may try Vanir shortly.

I use rasbeanjelly or purity with trinity for performance. Highest fps for me personally

Are your messing with your voltages? Ive tried so many roms and the ktmana kernal and on nfs im getting like 33 fps which dips down to 10 at times

The app is terrible. Also, most would recommend against forcing GPU rendering.

Because it's forcing something that's supposed to be up to the developers to enable it. If it's not enabled, it's probably for a reason.

Use the old Xda prem App. It loads forums faster and is way smoother. I'm still using version 1.1.2.

Let me guess, all you lagaholics are rooted/custom rom'd. Unrooted/stock/latest rev = xda smooth as iPhone and user (me) very happy.. almost scared to ota to key lime when the time comes.

I personally prefer the lean kernel and OC at 1500 and change the Read Ahead buffer size to 1667 .... Min at 102000 interactive governor even running benchmarks using Antutu and quadrant temp does not go beyond early 60
I do play a few racing games but not the ones you mentioned but have not seen it go beyond 60'c

5529 is decent with this kernel.
How about the battery temperature???
What is the total up time for your grouper?
While holding the nexus do you feel the back rubber getting hot??
I did notice it at times but after flashing to lean kernel it was no longer there..

Ok, so have been playing around with the ROM.
First off, the ROM is so smooth its scary. Its like, another level smooth that I (personally) think trumps CM10.1, AOKP, stock and everything inbetween.
I played beach blitz...
...for 5 minutes until it froze and the device locked up.
Thats unfortunately where I stopped. I had a look and the amount of customization features are amazing.
Really nice ROM but alas, I cannot personally use a ROM with the current mali drivers, purely because it depresses me

Ktoonz kernal

Hello all,
I recently flashed Ktoonz kernels and used the Ktweaker to set it to Performance. When I ran a Quadrant test after rebooting I was more than surprised. The numbers were much lower than a stock kernel. Any one know if I possibly did something wrong? This is the Quadrant score I have and also a shot of the Ktweaker. Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Do not ever go by quadrant, if the phone feels smoother and faster then it is smoother and faster.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Okay. So what exactly is it that Quadrant is used for then? I always thought it was used to test the speed of the device?

Its a bragging rights thing really, any developer will tell you its completely pointless. Real life usage is what matters. For instance when forcerom came out it had problems with getting 6000 quadrants but was running smooth.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Okay, thanks a lot! Yeah it definitely does feel faster and smoother. Just hoping that with the performance kernel I still get some good battery life.

Yeah if the phone is.fast for you. You shouldn't be concerned about scores.

Nexus 4 throttling issue?

I am getting my first nexus 4 soon and I was very excited until I read about the throttling issue it has (or I'm calling it that) i like to game on
Phones and that's why I was planning on fixing it. But if it passes 39c it down clocks everything? If I get a custom kernel and rom will it prevent this? Quadrant scores are really low.. I just hope it performs good. Oh yeah when I am gaming on my HTC Droid incredible 4G Lte if will get 55c cpu and 50-55c battery. And my phone never change clocks. Thanks for any help.

I personally got horrible benchmarks on the N5 Experience. I run stock with Faux kernel with delvik and bionic tweaks. Also the Google now launcher. I installed xPosed frameworks and GravityBox to get all the same features as the other rom but still have incredible performance. Just my experience.
