[Q] Fast ics is a real possibility?

The HD i bought had already installed a 2.2 sense in magdlr. It is fast and stable.
Im willing to change and i tried miui 2.3 in sd. Worked ok but suffered sometimes apps made it slow, showing me the chinese guy with the turtle a lot.
After this i tried tostidroid with ics v9.0. Loved ics. Apex launcher, everything. Hated the performance.
Changed to tostidroid 10.0. Usable but not for everyday use.
Now, all the questions:
1. Is having ics on this phone, with nice performance, a real possibility? Or should i just stay at 2.2, 2.3 roms?
2. When changing version of tosti from 9 to 10, i deleted the entire folder and did all the setup. Is that the right way to do it or there is a way to just "upgrade a build?
3. When looking to improve performance in tosti, tried to overclock the phone with rom control. Phone reset itself or freezes. So i should rule it out? Should i try overclocking to lower values?
4. Could my sd be the one to blame for poor rom performance?
5. During all this time i left my sense 2.2 in magdlr as a fallback. Should i just backup this rom and flash a new one directly to the internal memory?
Your thoughts?

We`re not going to have a fast ics without lags,unless if someone can port full hardware accelleration for ics in our device

im running the latest tostidroid on the NAND with dorimanx 5.6 kernel
I dont really notice any lags, only in the browser when using multiple tabs but using dolphin solves this
full HWA would be sweet but it is not really a dealbreaker

Ιn some point you are right.Ιcs is fast or even faster from gingerbread if the app you use doesnt need hw acceleration.For example in ics launcher i have lag but i havent it if i use zeam launcher.Same for default ics dialer.If i use dialer one there is no lag.Αlso i think that it scrolls better in some programms.for example in k-9 mail

So, trying so me replacements might work? I noticed the facebook app is almost unusable, mobile versión works ok. I love apex launcher, maybe should try nova? Da, twitter, baconreader seem fine. Widgets i only use simicalendar and clock. Was cable ti overclock a bit the phone and so dar looking good.

Best graphics on games

Hi all of you people.
I use my s4 to play some big graphics games and i notice that if i change its name on build.prop i can get better graphics on those games. For Eixample by putting s6 name on build.prop (like the touchwiz ported roms do) you get s6 graphics on s4.
Do you know if there is another thing i can change to improve graphics? (Device product name,etc , i dont know)
Maybe a root app , idk.
Thanks for your time trying to help me!

I'm anything but an expert on any of this stuff but it occurs to me that you may be getting more detailed drawing by fooling apps this way but it has to be at the expense of drawing performance. after all you're asking the phone to do something the games devs didn't think was a good idea.
for increased performance in games disable hardware overlays in development options after you bootup.
maybe get yourself an overclockable kernel (if you can find one for your rom).
the GLtools app allows you to spoof hardware details if that's your thing...

Hardware overlays is disabled by default on most roms. So is Force GPU rendering.
Resurrection Remix rom has an "Force High-End Graphics" option. It is experimental and I don't know if it even works, I prefer better performance.

Click to expand...

I've never seen a rom that had it disabled, it resets to it's default active position with every boot...

Phone works slowly, what is the most lightweight ROM I can use?

Hi
About 6 months ago I switched away from the stock ROM to Cyanogen to improve phone performance.
With stock rom, the performance was really bad. Switching tasks would take ages. Scrolling facebook would lag, starting apps etc.
After switching to CyanogenMod things seemed to work faster, however I've noticed that about 2 weeks after a new rom is flashes the phone starts lagging again. Currently I'm running a nightly build of Cyanogen 12.1 (android 5.1.1).
The performance is bad, switching tasks takes ages, loading new apps and what not.
I don't use the phone for anything other than WhatsApp, Facebook and emails.
I need a suggestion for a lightweight rom that has the best performance. I don't need any fancy widgets. Just have the base android 5.1 features.
Could it be that Google Now launcher causing the performance hit?

Switch back to old GPU drivers?

Hi there,
I'm having issues with the new r12p1 graphics drivers when using Dolphin emulator (https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Forum-android) where performance is bad and there are a lot of graphics issues, in fact the issues appear very similar to those experienced with the galaxy s6 on Marshamellow rom.
So I'd like to keep the old GPU drivers so I can use the Dolphin emulator but use the newer roms and kernels which are including the new GPU driver - does anyone know of a way to do that??
Thanks in advance.

If you want to use old driver...
-Use older rom and kernel.
-(Might not work) Use newer rom and replace some libs file with older one(I don't know which one) with old kernel.
These are 2 option I can come up with.
Also
Have you tried reinstall the app(uninstall and install again)?
Some apps that experience graphic glitch after update can be fixed by reinstalling apps.

Thanks for the ideas, I tried reinstalling the app but no joy, I think the driver is just buggy.
I'm going to try backing up the old drivers and importing them to the new rom and also installing a new kernel without the new drivers.

Hi, I used dolphin emulator in my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for playing Dragon ball zee bt3 and it was extremely slow thus I tried to run the game in vulkan support and after that the game was fine but the video doesn't appear and it only shows a black screen while sound keeps coming from the background, so anyone have any idea in how to fix this vulkan support glitch. I have Naugat 7.0 and 3GB Ram with 32GB Rom......pls help me as I had seen many people play this game on small phones like Motorola G4 etc..

Lag and stuttering T580 / T585

Hi there. Just a quick question to t585/t580 users. Do you guys experience lag and stuttering as well? I tried different Roms (debloated,...) , but cannot get rid of em.

I get it when changing between large apps like games, chrome with several tabs etc. It only has 2gb ram which isn't that much.

I switched to ultra lean rom. Now it works like a charm, but yes 2gb seems bad for the tab.
