[Q] Why do some Roms lag at gaming? - HTC Sensation

Hi
I have noticed that certain roms, e.g. CM10 just cannot play games like Dead Trigger or Asphalt as fast as ARHD. Why does ARHD give seamless gameplay (but annoying HTC Sense) and CM10 give a buttery interface but lag during gameplay?

Sense based ROMs have superior graphics drivers.
Try hyper nonsense for a good mix of both.
Nb: until jb is released for the sensation (by HTC) there won't be good jb drivers.

So CM10 is never as fast as the native rom for any phone?

[Q] GTA III - acceptable gameplay

Hello,
I noticed that it's almost not possible to play GTA III on any ROM besides MIUI. I like when games are running fast and it's very laggy on all roms which I tested comparing to MIUI where it's much better. Is there any way to make it playable on Endymion for example? Is it possible that because in Endymion there is hw acceleration enabled for UI there is not enough gpu power for GTA?
The game is meant for dual core phones

I'm aware. My colleague has HTC sensation. When I tried this game on MIUI on my Desire S it was running as smooth as his sensation on Sense.
That's because Sense is more bogged down than AOSP.
MIUI is a AOSP ROM, which is lightweight and fast, therefore it is smoother.
I notcied it too, on CM7, I get considerably better gaming performance than on Endymion.
GTA is primarily designed for dual core initially.
BUT it is normal designed for single core too.

So I guess that the only option to play it is to switch the rom to AOSP :-\

Sensation's N.O.V.A. 3 advanced graphics and effects

Hi people, since Nova's 3 release, i've been wondering why our Sensation version has no full video effects (like blur, depth of field, hi-res textures and improved shaders...), and another phones like SGS 2, have it. Take a look over Youtube and search S2 gameplay and Sensation gameplay; youll be able to see the difference. Why is it possible? If I use Chainfire 3d I can see the full effect mode, but in certain part of the game (sometimes at first load) game stasrs to turn the screen to black and show glitches and artifacts that ruin the game because they do it unplayable. Anyone has the Sensation and can play nova with full effect?
Rrgsrds!!
on my galaxy tab 7+ the gameplay is like ps3 but on sensation it is like nova 1
how did you get it to play? it refuses to download on my sensation because "it is not compatible"

I just bought it on Play Store. I'm using ICS AOSP (sense based) ROM - Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2.
Anyone else have tried it and want to conplain? We can write emails to Gameloft. It's not too fair paying 6 euros by a low end version.

Here same as you. Probably its due to Adreno 22x processor architecture or something like that, because the HTC One S has this problem too. But the matter is... Its likely that Gameloft fixes the One S problem soon, but Im afraid the HTC Sensation won't be that lucky. Gameloft develop a low version for the Sensa and avoid working on it because it isnt new like the HTC One s. Bussiness matters...
What do u think guys?
ya i play nova 3 on my htc sensation with full effect
I play N.O.V.A. 3 without put Chainfire 3d , and the game i perfect with full effects . I'm with Elegancia Sens 4 v.2.2.0 and everithinh is perfect , it's fly

maybe the graphics glitches are due to ics because it runs fine on full effects on my evo 3d non ics yet.

After suffering the screen turning black issue, i have had some success. I am running the elegancia sense 3.6, 2.5 rom with the sebastian kernel, and chainfire drivers. I checked the box to hide CF running, and disabled the mapbuffer emu, in the settings and am using the powervr plugin. this is working really well with no issues so far.

If you hide CF, you play the low end stock version of the game for our Sensation, because the game doesn't detect the cf driver, so you are not enabling the advanced effects. The question is... why doesn't gameloft enable the high graphics to the Sensation? It posseses a high end hardware like Adreno 220. Why?

yeah. i played it on my XE too. its not perfect, but its good. just sometimes the accelerometer stops working or something else. the car's steer freezes and it goes at a direction for some seconds and then it comes back to normal. i don't know that it is my phone's problem or the game's.

I have played through the entire game on my Sensation. At first I was hesitant to purchase it because I didn't know if it would run at all. To my surprise it ran reasonably well even on the stock Sense image I was using at the time. However, after playing through it a little there was obvious lag, stutters and just hiccups that would come at inopportune times and cause you to lose the race. I then switched launchers to Nova while still retaining the stock Sense ROM. Things got better, much better actually, but still not good enough. Then I rooted and went to cm9.1 stable + Nova and things were almost perfect! I played through the rest of the game, actually pretty much the whole game, with cm9.1 + stable and there were only a few occasions where framerates degraded or hiccups/stutters messed up the gameplay. I thought what I was seeing was pretty much the best the sensation could do. That was until I recently upgraded to Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang. With that ROM NFS-MW is now running practically perfect. I think the key difference here is the amount of free RAM. With CM10.1 I have significantly more free RAM and can hold open 2 or 3 times more apps than with CM9.1. The Sensation is severely lacking in the RAM department and NFS-MW is a very memory-demanding game. The lighter the OS load, the more RAM is available to the game, the less swapping occurs and the ultimately the more fluid the game plays. Hope that helps.
perfectly running under cm10 by albinoman
if you are running sense, use faux kernel 10b9 or 10b8 overclock it to 1.7 then use intellidemand as governor.

Problems with some games

I used to be able to run all games nicely but now beach buggy stays black but playing the background music and carmageddon doesn't open at all, just black screen. Using albinoman's aosp.
Any ideas?

Albino's ROM is 4.2.2, whereas a lot of games are not compatible with that version yet. And so far as I know, including Modern Combat 4 Zero Hour as well, but I'm not aware if they have released any new version. It's too new for them
By the way, Albinoman's ROM isn't AOSP (Android Open Source Project), rather is a Kang, that is, an edition of CyanogenModâ„¢.
Spit out from an HTC Sensation XE, a revived device while was dying due to lack of support, with TeamVenom, and other astonishingly amazing developers' benignity...
Yes, I know it's AOKP. It was a mistake
I don't think it's 4.2.2 problem. I have a tablet running 4.2.2 and they both work there...

ViperOne Sense 5 Discussion

Rumors...is it true or false? Does camera work?

Even if the rumors are true this rom will be unusable just like the other two from viper... It's ridiculous that after few days the phone lags like hell, and the phone is unusable when installing apps from play store.
IMHO

I can't say that ViperS 1.6.3 lags as hell, but 3.0.x versions are unstable, true.
ViperOne ROM will be for HTC One only. And ofc, that phone will have working camera.
ViperS project (i believe) will have sense 5 version, because ivicask booted it.
Working camera depends on all our sensation's developers. We lose them because our device is relatively old.
nvm...
