Root Best Android Version for Game Performance

So I just went back to Minimal Triumph and saw that a lot of games like Asphalt 6 won't even download from the Play Store even with the thunder prop. Is there another way to get games working? They worked fine on Miui.

Hmm, that's interesting. I don't know, since I've edited my build.prop to display my phone as a Nexus S, everything downloads for me. It may not be support the Thunderbolt, or it just may not support Froyo anymore.

As for GTA working on CM7, that's great. I guess I must've done something to lower the performance...at least now it can run smooth for me.

Did you do that on a froyo rom? If so would you mind uploading your build.prop?
 
Yes, I have ones for bROM and Minimal Triumph, as well as CM7.

Just flash the zip, or you could just extract the build.prop. I just changed

ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

Cm7, bRom, and all ICS builds have the new Adreno drivers. The new adreno drivers first came from ICS but was ported first to CM7 and bRom. I actually get the best performance on CM9. In quadrant, I get an average of 53 FPS on the first 3d test on quadrant as apposed to about 30-40 FPS on CM7 and bRom

Are you sure this is true? I just installed bRom 1.2, and my nenamark2 score is 13fps. That is the same as stock. With the later CM7 builds, it was doing ~24fps. Nenamark just tests OpenGL performance, so there shouldn't be much room for wonky results. Nor have I ever noticed much variation when running it.

I tried this on the stock rom and the market shows my phone as a Samsung Nexus S, but still shows games like Modern Combat and NOVA to be incompatible. :mad:
 
The Nexus S is not a good Choice to change your build.prop to since the Nexus S has a Samsung Exynos 3110 processor most apps and games will be incompatible with the Triumph since we have a Snapdragon processor
 
All games I have played work with the triumph, even games that have "incompatibilities" with the triumph and the thunderbolt. I did this because I saw online that the nexus s is supposedly a dev phone or something like that, so its compatible with all apps. YMMV, but this change has always worked for me. Flash at your own risk, but I have not had any problems.

I haven't tested it myself it is just my assumption that it wouldn't work properly since Certain apps like Asphalt 6 and NFS Hot Pursuit check the build.prop to know what Phone it is and to download the correct files/software

for my Mobster Tweaks and any Future Triumph Roms i will be using my HTC Droid Incredible 2 Mod it works quite well since the Triumph and Incredible 2 are both WVGA phones with a MSM8655 Snapdragon processor and Adreno 205 GPU
