yea you can use it and everything, but since it's not supported, it wont work as smoothly asa you want it to be. If you uninstall it, go to the market and look it up, it'll say not supported on our device

ive been screwing with chainfire 3d trying to get it running better, ive gotten it to be on the verge of playable but it could be better, im gonna tinker with it some more and see what i can come up with. thanks for the info though.

Have you oc'd at all? Or set scaling to performance?

Off you are on a bml ROM (haven't cheeked out bare bonne so i don't know) you can flash lightning zap then adjust the governor settings... There are instructions on how to do so linked in the OP... That should smooth out fps refresh rate...

Im on the oc kernel so yeah i got that bad boy cranked up to 1400, it was my understanding that only ondemandx and smartass worked in regards to scaling on this particular kernel, but hey i'll try just about anything, if that makes a difference i will let you know.

Do you suppose id have better luck on a mtd rom in general? But ive installed lightning zap plenty of times, so i will give it a go and if i get something real smooth and playable i will report back how that came about. i appreciate all your work thanks.

Each phone is different, tweaks and such that improves your phone performance may not help the next phone. That is also why the game might be unplayable on your device. Also most newer roms have the various tweaks built in. So installing them twice can end up harming your performance.

I was in the same boat as OP. I used Gremlin Remover, and started from scratch, and now I'm getting decent performance from GTA. Still lags some. But not as bad as used to. Definately playable.

It works just fine for my wife.

Droid Overclock [Pretty Sweet App]

Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

Regardless of your partiality, you are still correct. To back up this statement, I point to the current battery life on my infuse. I am sitting at 11% after 3 days, 50 minutes with a screen on time of 2 hours over those 3 days. One hour of voice calls and HEAVY text usage.
ZEUS, quite simply put, ROCKS.

!!!Zeus!!!​​
Is ZEUS the most stable as well?
Stability is the #1 factor for me. That and lack of amateur theming. Can't stand it when authors choose to put in weird looking fonts and other stuff. I watched the video that showed off zeus rom though and that is definitely not the case. EXTREMELY pretty.

[Q] Best options for performance?

What are the best roms, kernels, tweaks, mods and pretty much everything else? Because right now I have the Valhalla Black Final rom, sms kj6 i think for the rom, and the universal adernaline shot. Is there anything that can make my phone faster, because the games still lag a little sometimes.
I would use only the tweaks in VB, same kernel as you are now

For gameplay I haven't found a ROM that beats icbinb, and all the necessary tweaks are already built into it to make it as good as it can be.
However my favorite ROM is unnamed, and with adrenaline shot 14.1 its as close to icbinbs game performance as I've ever seen. And with the sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ kernel from bhundvens original kernel thread, UV/OC at 1.2, its the most stable I've seen. Literally no reboots.

Just curious why are you not using AS 15?
What's the difference bw as and booster shot? And as for oc, doesn't as already take care of that?

Because 14.1 works best for me. In my situation 14.1 is smoother than 15. I find updates don't always equal improvement.

Can it be used in addition to as, or are they pretty much the same?
You don't need both. DSexton wrote both of them. And most tweaks are written to delete or overwrite whatever else is in the folder.
But if you have as, is the phone already overclocked, or do we have to do that ourselves? Would it just be the same thing?
You need tegrak ultimate to oc. The paid version of the app. And it is definitely worth the money to undervolt for battery sake.
Ok so right now I have Valhalla Black Final rom, SMS Kj6 kernel, and Adrenaline shot 14.1 mod. Do you think I should flash a modem? because I don't know what they do.
Different modems are generally said to work better in different parts of the country. Try a different one and see what you think. You can always flash back to KJ6 if you want. And hit thanks.
Alright thanks for the help. For anyone else, I am running Valhalla Black, KJ6 and Adrenaline Shot 14.1, and the phone is running very smooth and is very responsive.
Just flash Val black and call it a day.

Funny, it has been working fine for me. For anyone who doesn't use an app like setCPU and is on the OLD baseband this would be great. This on the NEW bb WITH a screen off profile is even better. It's still not pre-new base band like drain, but I don't wake up with a mostly drained battery. I just looked at faux's release notes and it sounds pretty tailored to the new bb, so I think I will see how his does alone.

Excuse me folks but alot of people can't use the new faux kernel and Jarvis kernel isn't exactly stable on all phones niether, the guy is simply sharing something he found, what about Harsh, Morfic, etc???

2nd core inactive

I just noticed that my second core is inactive on my g2x phone. Does any one know is this normal or my phone is malfunctioned? I downloaded this app name CPU Identifier and it shows my second core is inactive. I also did run a benchmark test on Quadrant and the score is around 1914 where as the normal score for g2x should be around 2500. Any help how to fix this would be appreciated.

Probably has malfunctioned due to overheated. the first core is showing 1998BMPS and the second is showing 0. I haven't done anything major to the phone since I brought it two years ago except rooted it. May be I will try different kernals. Hope that it will makes it work again.

I hope that is not a hardware problem. I will try to install cyanogenMod to see if it can fix that.
Im currently running MIUI (SINGH UI) for the g2x and it also shows that my second core is down. Doesn't bother me though....I have not seen any drop in performance since I have originally rooted the phone and as far as overall speed is concerned I don't think my phone has ever been faster.

Try Quadrant benchmark you will see how much has affected. The normal score should be around 2500 but now is around 1989. Also, now I can't play games that has 3d graphic.

Hey thanks for pointing out the second core was inactive as well as the other minor bug of the date an time resetting. Adressing these issues, do you think another release will be made with fixes. I love this rom personally i think its more interactive with its user interface an adjustable themes.
My performance was lowered.. wait with the 2nd core inactive is deep sleep even possible? I noticed a minor battery drain with the wifi... thinking its just me..
