How to flash Gamerz's ROM

I had personally tested this rom and it is really fast, stable and smooth. About the battery life, i on 3G for the whole day, some gaming, call and messaging, it can last me whole day without charging it. I strongly recommend this rom to those who like to play all those high end games. This rom is also suitable for daily usage.


THIS ROM WILL ALLOW YOU TO PLAY ALL HIGH-END GAMES SMOOTHLY.
-Semaphore Kernel (353mb ram)
-Speedmod color and sharpness fixes
-Voodoo Sound v10
-CPU Overclocked to 1200mhz as default.
-Touchscreen sensivity increased for better gaming.
-ICS like statusbar and toggles with battery percentage (a bit modded and looks better)
-ICS keyboard
-ICS Animations, CRT Off and other fancy stuff.
-ADW Launcher (ICS themed)
-Green colors on rom changed with ics blue. No ugly green progressbar or something never again.
-Deleted the bloatware which runs on background and eats ram.
-Used thunderbolt scripts and CFS settings for better smoothness and 3D performance.
-Zipalign script to zipalign apps on startup.
-No EXT4 because EXT4 has more cpu overheads than RFS. This casues lags on games. RFS IS FASTER AT ALL.
-200mb ram free on startup. Clean memory with task manager to have more.
80mb LMK for better ram management during gaming.

  4. what you mean by cant download games? u can try GTA...
    this version not support 1280x720 because of the kernel limitation. you also cannot use the front camera.
    for the wifi, it is the XXJVU bugs, you can try update the custom to the latest v6.2. http://gamerzrom.blogspot.com/2012/02/gamerzrom-v62-is-released-for-galaxy-s.html

    1. i'm not that good in over-clocking. i just use the default one...i think when you oc to 1.2 or 1.3, the phone reboot because it's not stable on that clock speed. i think you need to change the core voltage as well.

      you try to change the clock speed and the core voltage as well in tegrak overclock.
      for 1ghz, the core voltage is 1275mv.

      i'm just using the rom default clock speed. later i will try and let you know again.
