[FIX] Gaming lag on MM based roms ( CM13, RR etc) - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Soooooo...... You just flashed the first marshmallow ROM in your beloved redmi 2..... for the first time..... digging the features, enjoying life.... Right??
But.... Wait what! Why clash of clans is so laggy! What the hell!! Why I can't play Pokemon Go smoothly.... Who is gonna catch em all!!
Damn these developers.... why don't they reply!! (Well they also have a life mate, go fix these little problems yourselves -_- )
But you, the gamer, is forced to go back that MIUI ROM because of these lags. Well wait no more, here's your fix!
1. Go to battery.
2. Switch the battery mode from "Balanced" to "Performance"
3.. Done. -_-
If you are too scared about battery life.... You can switch the battery mode to performance again.
Easy, right?
Tested on 2014818 with 2 GB ram, plain cm13, RR and with berserk kernel.
Feel free to ask any questions and hit thanks.
Have fun!!

doesn't help

doesn't help at all

use the latest builds and lateautumn kernel, gaming lag is fixed there.

do you think or know if CM9 will solve the battery hogging issue?
Not sure, but surley if it has battery hog issues , then iam not going to CM9 , waiting for an expert reply though
It's definitely better then CM7, and probably better then many other roms out there. At least try it out.

Try tOnecosmic's ICS Port!!!
It is amazing, good battery life, very smooth, works great as my daily Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
I DON'T recommend going to ICS just yet (unless you want to beta test), builds are still too early, they are unreliable for everyday use and it'll be a while until we get a stable and good performing rom, CM7 is much better right now, but it may change in the future though.
ICS launcher FC a lot, gallery app and browser are laggy, and if you use live wallpapers everything slows down a lot, also there are many app incompatibilities now. I tried to like ICS but it's still in alpha stages (don't believe all those RC1 or beta labels, it's really not ready)
CM7 is great but yes, it's a battery hog. You could use a samsung rom (a custom ODEXED rom or stock are fine) and a custom kernel, I use semaphore with thunderbolt and it's very good performing, it can't touch CM7 in RAM management (isn't as good in multitasking), but videos, games play nice and samsung has a few good apps (it's dialer has smart dialing and its a looker, it can play almost all videos even h264 720p 60fps, music app uses very little battery since it's HW accelerated and its browser is as smooth as the iphone's, it can't be touched by CM7's), and you can delete all other samsung bloatware.

Thanks for your reply !! , i used to be on almost every new ROM lately but i couldn't handle the Lag even with using Thunderbolt and stuff , it was veryyy laggy and not responsive , iam now on CM7.1 and i have to say it is waaaaaay faster than the sammy build roms , too bad i get some force closes often and i HATE how low the music is , the music player sucks alot of battery though
my best Samsung experience was on Hybrid roms , stable , fast.
btw not all CM9 builds are bad ! you can try search for the AndroidSoul's review of cm9 , it looks veryyyyy smooth !
any recommendations for now ?

Thanks so much man ! i have seen some videos for the onecosmic's port and it is veryy fast indeed !!!!
i wonder how long do you last with heavy usage / medium usage ?
what about standby ?? , iam so going to try this soon !
With heavy usage I can use my Phone one day, but this was the same with Gingerbread.
When I only have low or medium usage, the battery lasts 1 1/2 - 2 Days, very good for a non final release. But most i charge my phone every night.

I didn't watch any videos, I flashed both versions myself and ICS isn't ready yet, got too many FC, lags heavily on some occasions and isn't as fast as CM7 (we're talking about the version for the i9000 right? )
It'll reach great performance levels in the future I'm sure, but saying that it's perfect for daily use or better than CM7 is just going a little too far.
And have you tried a high LMK for sammy roms? Like 80MB or higher, you won't be able to multitask much, but performance will be very good for games or heavy apps

I guess iam going to skip flashing CM9 then ! , iam an average-heavy user
- well , i have never tried messing up with memory but i assure you i have had troubles multitasking , and very very very bad response time on almost any sammy rom , even with overclocking i don't really feel any difference
all what i used to flash on sammy roms was base rom + custom rom on top of it + some tweaks like thunderbolt script , overclocking wasn't even noticed
i also used to tweak the colors

Lagness in general

Hi all guys, I want to ask everyone to help me understanding why I my device is a bit laggy. Ok, I don't have a nexus, but I have an amazing quad core processor, a tegra 3 chipset!!
And even if flash custom ROMs I have this lag feeling, and not only feeling sometimes. I will be more accurate.
1) When I install apps or uninstall apps, I have some lags, now OK the phone is doing a big task but it is a bit too laggy.
2) Switching between apps can be laggy some times, and not just with big apps.
3) I have noticed that even having not much apps working background, the phone give me this impression of lagness, I have 1gb ram and a quad core, I get angry if it start to run slowly only for some apps working background, I mean the hardware is powerfully enough.
After all I must say that I have tryed these ROMs.
Carbon, slimbean, liquid smooth, and CyanogenMod (that is a bit better on performance).
My favourite is slimbean because I feel it stable.
And I have tryed most of the kernels, like werewolf, optimous prime, and iodak at last, and I like this last one.
Can someone help me understand this? Thank you guys!
Ah, sorry for my not clear English :S

I always felt that too, until I flashed kit kat and mokee kernel. You can try it out
If you're on stock, number 1. might be caused by MLT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187920

Nono i don't like anymore stock beucase is not best for performance. Anyway thank @Coolneng I will try it. There are compatibility issues for apps like GTA or something else? I have heard something.

I have no idea, I don't play any games on phone ^^
I have tried kitkat and it is nice, but it's not much stable so I have chosen to return to stock (zaiben rom) with iodak kernel and I'm impressed, it is fast and smooth with this kernel.
Anyway I think that all Roms that we have are unstable in their way, so I prefer stock where all works.

If you're on a stock based ROM, I suggest you still check for that MLT apk

This rom doesn't have mlt.apk but have logservice.apk and if I delete it the Rom stop working

Pokemon Go on Redmi 2

This is by far the biggest surprise my Redmi 2 gave me:
This game shows the min requirements as 2GB RAM. But yeah I do know we could somehow manage with 1 GB. So, for a better performance I was using CM 13 and decided to start playing the game. But the game lagged a lot, battles were like impossible to be made. I even tried few other ROMS like Nexus, RR, Slim and Snapshot( this was a bit better). I wasn't satisfied but then I shifted to MIUI as I wanted to test the new MIUI 8. But when I started playing the game here, it stopped lagging :fingers-crossed: ( It seldom lags). I couldn't believe it. My friend asked me if its lagging on my phone while he was using RR. I told him the same and it surprised him the same way it did to me. Did anyone else notice this? Anyone with custom ROMS able to play lag-free?
i'm able. it's ok in the most of the time. but my redmi 2 is pro version.

custom roms....
Orion mm latest build (cam also good)
tipsy
and plus point in these custom roms ---u can use fake gps also...i used n tested...so i m saying...
I love the pure Android experience, but I also came back to MIUI (now MIUI 8 beta) because apps seems to lag less.
I'm playing Pokémon GO but my problem is with GPS, sometime it doesn't fix or stuck and I need to restart the game.
YOu can try on miui 7 i play on that
I installed Orion in my phone and performance on Pokémon GO is worse than with MIUI 7/8.
i'm currently playing in miui 8 latest update, and it seems fine, except when you are under the sun and charging the phone then the cpu throttles xD
2gb version

I had that problem early on when I just started using MIUI. Later, it went well. I used to turn from High accuracy to other modes and then switch back. It worked sometimes.

Long story short, no. Pure Nexus has been the most consistant performer to me, along with Xceed kernel. The other ROMs start out fast but seem to slow down to the point where it freezes over time.
thank you very much for ur reply ill try it and give u feedback

I have used JDC for more than a month now. No freezes, no dips in performance. Maybe you should try that.
MIUI EU 8.2.2.0 doesn't disappoint me in performance.

Better Gaming does not goes in hand with Battery life
Anyways, speaking in performance terms only, none of the Oreo roms atm since they are a bit slower than Nougat roms for some reason, probably aospa is good for gaming
Stay clear of oreo roms. Los nougat is the oly decent one for gaming. I don't know if any other nougat roms get you better performance but oreo roms definitely don't
i have tried many roms,, but for mi5 (mine is prime 3/32), i use viper os nougat + soda kernel b1.2.1 or you can use RR nougat too with soda b1.2.1 too,, it can handle many games.
