i am currently running Ice Cream Pureness rom with stock ics kernel....but i tried to play real racing 2 which had very choppy gameplay....i initially thought that maybe the Arc S hardware isnt capable...but i read somewhere that it might be down to what rom & kernel i use. Is this true? If so, then what rom & kernel combination would be the best for full on performance?

I play real racing 2 with arconium 4 with KTG kernel, runs fine, but the game ONLY crash everytime I try to play the H2 NRGEE cup, also sometimes the menu lags

GB is not dead. i find GB more battery friendly and stable for playing HD games and besides there's not much difference ics and gb its only the numbers.

From my experience with Pureness V10/11 its always laggy with games.

If you don't care about graphical user interface , definitely JJ hybrid rom is great (fast - compatible with games - has ROM control as well) ,few bugs though like wifi hotspot http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1537717

If you care about having nice user interface with reasonable game performance with lots of free ram available you can try Jelly sandwich http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1836993 or the Remix http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1884958


For the Kernel i always advice to use stock kernel in order to avoid battery drain issues.

I'm using ArcKnigt Kernel RC 3.4.
I agree with you on Pureness V10 always laggy with hq games.
I tried JJ's Hybrid rom but i guess i am a UI person and changed myselft into Jelly Sandwich 6.2 with lots of free ram. Also i can play Real Racer, Agent Dash etc witout lag. :good:
But for a game performance i guess JJ > Jelly Sandwich 6.2 for my observe.
Didnt test Jelly Sandwich 7.0. Maybe that one a bit faster than 6.2 who knows?:confused:

GB is better than ICS in case of playing game, but if you like ICS, choose advanced stock kernel ,jelly sandwich or Ultimate HD 2.0 Rom.

I've tried xgamer 1.6 on xperia arc GB .64,used doomkernelv22 and had battery issues,my battery drained every 3 minutes 1%.So i don't know if that was problem with my phone and me only but i don't think xgamer ROM is ideal.
Till now i used GB .42-Arconium 8.2-doomkernel v22 and it was perfect,with games,smooth no lag,very,very stable.But...now i'm on GB.62 Stock rom-doomkernel v22 snd some new apps from xperia s,didn't try gamings yet but one is sure,GB rocks with gaming,ICS on the other hand,sucks.
