CM 4.2.12.2 black screen when pressing home - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get a black screen and have to wait 15-30 seconds for the launcher and icons to show up when exiting an application. This has happened to me with earlier cyanogenmod versions as well. I was thinking maybe I should wipe and reflash the ROM. Does anyone know the cause of this and any fixes?
Thanks.

Wipe is definitely in order but first you should look at your usage:
1. How many widgets do you have on your screens? How many apps do you have on your phone? Do you use "Advanced launcher"? Obviously all of those factors will make a difference.
2. Get an "Advanced Task Manager" from the market and see how many programs do you have running that you don't need. You can set it up so ATM closes unneeded programs once every 30 min thus freeing up your ram memory, make sure to exclude google stuff and programs that need to be running at all times (like weather widgets)
3. Do you use any 3D graphic intensive apps or watch a lot of video? If not, then 10mb hack is in order and is the best thing to happen to a man since the sliced bread.
4. Go into Spare Parts and activate "Keep home app in memory", it makes a world of a difference but may drain your battery faster, although not a big deal for me.
5. Wipe your dalvik-cache from SD. A regular wipe only goes so far so you need to make sure that you wipe Dalvik-cache every now and then.
All in all, let's face it, our G1s are very limited in terms of CPU power and Ram memory so anything we do will have trade-offs. Cyan's roms push it pretty much to the limit so lag is expected, although can be minimized.
Good luck.

get rid off linux swap it slows down the phone cuz cy doesnt use swap in his rom b get Set cpu or overclocking widget.

Thanks for the info borodin.
I wiped and reflashed the ROM, as well as flashing the 10 mb RAM hack. I've also done everything else you mentioned.
Is there a way to get rid of the regular launcher after installing advanced launcher?

Reboot into recovery, make a back-up, drop into console and
Code:
mount /system
mount /system
rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache
reboot
Same thing with any other system apps you don't like (such as amazon.mp3, or whatever else). Just make sure to make a back up and stay away from google stuff. If you need to see exact names of apps you can use ls command

Is their a way to make the G1 fast?

I have the CyanogenMod and It comes with 5 screens but I cant use advantange of it because my phone gets so slow.. I use like 5 widgets and everytime I go to my home its frozen for like 10 seconds untill eveything is loaded again. I have apps2sd so im wondering is their a way to make the G1 lightning fast because its acting so slow it was like this in the stock rom also
What 5 widgets? Have you experimented with disabling them? What other apps do you have installed? Some wait in the background and use up memory / CPU. CM is pretty much the fastest ROM, so you need to look at the apps if things are slow.
You can also try the links in my sig for info on using compcache or swap to reduce the delays when you switch back home or in and out of the browser.
Well I have the free weather widget, retro time, retro date, and a battery widget and a few other application shortcuts on the home screen and it still lags when I go to home and its always like this and what does a swaper do?

I would activate your linux-swap partition or use the compcache userinit.sh. I wouldn't use swapper, its out-dated.
Basically what swapper (and linux-swap) is, is like creating extra memory for your phone to use, but places it on the sdcard. The increased memory allows for you phone to do more at once without having to constantly close programs left and right, speeding it up. But, the constant read/write of the sdcard wears it down quicker (don't worry, you'll still get about 2yrs of life out of that sdcard) and can become slow if it is writing/reading to the memory at the same time is it reading an app or file from the sdcard. Not noticeably slower, but slower nonetheless.
Compcache is a better solution IMO (its the new thing haha). What happens is that whatever RAM stores is compressed instead. Because its compressed, you can store more stuff on it. so like 24MB of RAM would be extended to 72MB of RAM and then you wouldn't have to read/write to the sdcard so often, saving its life and allowing for a small speed boost compared to a swap file.
There are threads on how to do both of these things in the development thread. The compcache is pretty easy, all you have to do is copy userinit.sh to your /system/sd/ and your pretty much done. Linux-swap requires you to create a 3rd partition in addition to the FAT32 and ext2/3. A little extra work, but well worth it. Most ROMs will automatically activate the linux-swap partition if you have it.
Note: Compcache can also use linux-swap as a backup, allowing for an even faster phone. I'm using jacHEROskiv1.4C_a2sd and it works pretty fast IMO. Certainly not as fast as Cyanogen's but fast enough for day-to-day use.
If you really really really really, don't want to mess with any of that, I would just use swapper. Its like linux-swap (follows the same principle), but its not as fast. If you do choose to use this solution, make sure you place the swapfile on /system/sd/ so that when you mount your SD you won't mess up your phone.
Can you please show me a link of how to do the Compcache because ive searched and only found nothing yet.

Does having 5 home screens use more memory than the original 3?
slightly, but not enough to make the kind of differences that the OP is describing. I know cyanogen and dude's builds both have 5 home screens, not sure about the rest, but this is the first slowdown complaint I've really heard.
The two questions I would ask to the OP is this: 1. how many applications do you have installed? 2. What size and class SD card are you using?

Way too Slow?

Hopefully there is someone out there who is smart enough to fix my issue!
I have a htc G1 rooted running the latest Cyanogen rom and i have a SanDisk micor sdhc 8GB class 6 card. Ok my issue: It seems like for the past 5 or more roms that cyanogen has put out every now in then when i go from like say a game or contacts to the home screen it lags for say 5 sec. During this lag i notice that my icons are visible on the homescreen but the widgets are missing and i only have like 3 widgets on the screen. I dont know if my SD card has taken a crap or what? Please help

You were doing something that was memory intensive, gmaes (especially 3d) tend to do that. They used up too much memory sot the system pushed the home out of memory. When you go home that means it has to reload everything, hence the lag

@ Op, if your playing a game on i dont know, Xbox or Ps3 when you exit wouldn't be slower then lets exiting the browser or being in a chat?
Similar on Pc, closing browser is quicker then exiting a game like crysis or maybe flashpoint.

Are you using 10MB hacks?

Well if you don't play to many 3d games, then I would suggest using it. It takes away from the graphics to add 7.5mb more of memory for apps
i once had this issue (slowness, lagging), and i did the following, now the device is zippier and faster than ever:
Decide to do a complete make-over (reflashing the ROM)
0. backup your apps & files, copy SD to harddrive, in order not to lose data
1. reboot into recovery screen, WIPE
2. flash the ROM, reboot, flash the theme you like (and that fits to the ROM), reboot, flash AdvancedLauncher 2.1 if you like (i use it for its certain functions), reboot
3. if you can live without 3D-games, you can use the 10MB RAM-hack; in terminal emulator flash RAM-Hack image (boot.img) (IMPORTANT: it needs to be the boot image that fits to your ROM!
3. reboot
4. reboot recovery; in console or adb shell: fix_permissions
5. reboot
6. install "user.conf Creator" app, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS (inside the app), open it and:
--> enable permission_fix
--> enable compcache (i use 64MB)
--> enable ccbackinswap (i use swappiness 50)
--> enable linux-swap (my linux-swap partition is 128MB; i use swappiness 50)
--> backup files
--> push files
--> reboot
(i experimented with different "swappiness" values, 50 worked out best for me, but it may be different for you. at swappiness 80 loading of apps is really fast, but scrolling and going back to home screen is really slow. 50 seems a good middle value.)
7. done
this can easily take up to 1 hour. After applying user.conf it may take a while on first reboot until the phone is fully loaded, but it's well worth the effort.
i also use SetCPU, to set CPU clock to 528/528 when charging, 384/245 when sleeping, and 128/128 when power <10%
good luck

Is my lagging phone normal?

Hi,
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.2.13. 8 GB Class 6 SD card with Apps2SD formatted with EXT4 and something like a 20mb swap partition. I have around 35 applications on my phone.
My home screen consists of 3 screens - 1 widget (Power Control) and 12 icons.
Here's the issue: When I hit the home button from any application, it takes about 20 seconds to load the home screen. If I hit the phone button from any application, it takes about 20-35 seconds to load the Dialer application. The phone just feels laggy. Task manager apps only show a couple processes running - nothing excessive. Is this normal?
If this is not normal, how do I fix it? I wipe about once a month. I've tried clearing the dalvik cache from terminal with this:
mount system/sd
rm -r system/sd/dalvik-cache
reboot
... with no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Do you have compcache enabled in spare parts?
Do you have 'keep home in memory' checked in spare parts?
No, I didn't. I just checked them and the home seems to load a bit quicker. The phone app still takes awhile. Should I expect it to speed up as it starts caching stuff?
is the phone app taking 10 seconds?
What are you using to setup your swap?
Try changing the swap size to 32 or removing it all together. compcache should be enough for a donut rom.
You can download CacheMate (the one with the icon of a recyle bin/trash can) and try deleting all the cache. That can really speed up a phone.
Or go into the recovery and delete the dalvik-cache or just backup everything and wipe everything on the phone possible and partition your sdcard like this
512 mb ext 3/32 Mb swap (or if you want a swap size that is good for all roms like donut/eclair/hero then make the swamp 96 Mb)/ rest fat32
It looks like it's getting better. I restarted my phone and it's taking less than 5 seconds for the dialer app.
If it starts slowing down again, I'll try messing with the swap.
Good to hear. are you using the default launcher.apk from cyan mod? Because i know it comes with 5 screens, i know you're either using an alternate launcher or just using 3 of the 5 screens.

[Q] Speed! How to make it faster...

Well I must say, aside from some slowdowns, the Nook HD+ with Carbon Rom is really REALLY nice. I was given it from a friend who didn't want it and if not for XDA it would have been on Craigslist the next day. Uncovering the Android potential within this device has really opened it up, the gorgeous display doesn't hurt either...
...its just.... SSSssssllllllllloooooww; SLOW!
I do run Startup manager and task killer occasionally to keep things in check. I like to have as little daemons as possible running in the background. I do have Nova Launcher running, but thats about it. Everything else are Android system files and the kernel processes that are necessary.
In Startup Manager, under the "User" tab, I have the following startup daemons run:
Google Search
Google Play Services
SD Booster
Question: Are the 2 Google ones really necessary and does SD Booster really work?

Yes to the Google ones if you want to use the play store. SD Booster, I never noticed a difference. Ditch the task killer, those make the slowness worse. Get a real utility package. Wipe cache, maybe wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions, zipalign the apk's, get SDMaid and remove the corpses (as they say). Hold on until the developers find a workaround for the trim issues. You might even reinstall Carbon and GAPPs if the
utilities don't work. I have switched from Carbon to CM 10.2 nightlies and have been very happy.

Please help: big lag issue

Guys, I need a help. Tried everything, but still facing big lag especially when I click on dialer, contacts or messages (waiting couple of secs until they show up). This is more obvious when I click right after I 'woke up' my phone from deep sleep.
I'm using stock 20b with Iodak v8 kernel (tried v9 as well, but due to bluetooth and fm radio issue on stock, reverted to v8). Also, I did everything what I could found to improve performace: disabled and then deleted MLT, did a full wipe of everything (clean install), installed only apps that I need, turned off 3g, data and gps (only WiFi is on), installed Greenify and so on..
My current setup of kernel is following:
Governor: interactive (tried ondemand, but was even worst)
Max: 1600000
Min/Max Screen Off: 760000
Scheduler: SIO
CPUQuiet Power: userspace (noticed that only 3 cores are online instead of 4)
I appreciate any help, but please, don't tell me to search, 'cause I did. As for the other custom roms, I tried CM, but I prefer more stock, mostly because of Gallery, Polaris and FM Radio Apps.
Guys, is there any way to fix this lag issue? I don't care much for the battery, since this lag drives me crazy.
Thanks in advance.

This is "normal" for system apps. Download custom apps from google store like ExDialer,GOSms.. That will resolve your lag.. When you install those apps from store, use titanium backup to freeze stock apps(dialer,contacts,messages).
@vladja10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49272503&postcount=1986
Thanks guys, but neither of these two options helped. There's some improvements, but still pretty much laggy.
Think I found out what causing lag: synchronization. Every time when phone is synchronizing, everything is so laggy, otherwise is ok. Following accounts have sync turned on: Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and Google.
Does anyone of you have experienced similar problem? Is there solution for this?

I have all those apps running in my phone, but I did not face those lags.
But ya I did felt those lags when I'm still using stock JB OS. Stock JB from LG is sucks man, you should instal another ROM.
Currently I'm using CM11 (Kitkat 4.4.2 based), its lag free and have more free RAM. (around 350 - 400MB). :good:
The difference is like heaven and hell compared with the stock ROM (I only have 150 - 200MB Free RAM).

The ROM can make a difference, but it has nothing to do with "Free RAM". I wish people would stop perpetuating this myth.
Free RAM is wasted memory on an Android device. Unless you are getting below about 50MB there is not a problem as the device is designed to use as much as it can and then swap it out automatically.
I agree about CM11 though. I'm running the latest nightly and the only problem I have is the delay in waking when you press the power button

You might want a read of this;-
RAM: What it is, how it's used, and why you shouldn't care
Well, I’m afraid that I’ll be forced to get back to CM (used it once, but missed some apps such are: FM Radio, stock gallery app (couldn’t find good replacement that synced photos with google acc) and Polaris Office – these apps I use on a daily basis). Anyway, before install CM, I’ll give one more try to Stock.
I did what @ottomanhero told me, and that actually helped. But, since I used Trickstermod to tweak governors, after every single reboot, stock values would be back, so I had to use init.d script, and there comes a problem.
Here is what I did (followed instructions from Iodak's OP):
- Using ES File Explorer created folder /system/etc/init.d and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x
- Created new file in init.d folder and name it 1script (used Note++ instead of Windows editors to avoid leaving an extra space at the end of each line or an invisible invalid character)
- Then added following commands:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "70" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load
echo "70" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/midrange_go_maxspeed_load
echo "60000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time
echo "20000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/timer_rate
echo 200 300 400 450 500 600 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_overclock
- and finally set permissions to 1script rwxr-xr-x and owner to root group to shell
So, that should be it, but didn’t work for me. Then, I installed SManager to check what’s wrong with the script, and it stated that with first 4 lines error is: no such file or directory (which is strange because exactly that's the path), and for the last line is stated: permission denied.
Did I miss something? Apologize if this question is too noob for you guys, but I’m running out of ideas.
Thanks all for your help.

Of course you need some free memory, but not hundreds of MBs of it. I notice that you pointed the same XDA quote that is used and linked to by lots of different sites when this is being discussed. To use someone else's quote - better written than I could do so myself;-
In the most simplistic terms, here is how it works, and why "free RAM is wasted RAM," but also, why you don't want all RAM in use at any given time.
If an application is not in memory when you try to open it, that application haa to be loaded into memory, thus triggering a "load time." Having the application in memory (prefetched) prevents this load time and has the application load near insantly. This is why a modern OS will preload our most commonly used applications into memory. The more memory that you have, the more applications that can be preloaded, the smoother your device will run. Clearing this memory gives you no immeidate benefit, and will actually slow your device. Idle applications in memory consume almost no resources (CPU cycles, battery power, etc.). If an application is consuming resources, that means that it is doing something. Closing it will only force the application to re-load. Using a task killer for this purpose will cause a "boxing match" where the task killer closes the application, the app reopens itself, and back and forth. THIS will consume resources.
However, you want to have some memory free. Your devices will not have enough memory to preload EVERY application, so it has to guess based on your actions. It needs to have enough memory available to quickly load an app that you may want.
Let's say that you want to load an application that requires 256MB of RAM, but you only have 128MB available. This means that the OS is going to try to clear 128MB of RAM to accomodate your app, and as your app loads, will try to clear another 128MB to return to its previous state. This clear/load/clear causes a longer load time and more slowdown than just loading an app not already in memory.
So, the ideal situation is to have most common apps in memory (pre-fetched), but enough memory available to handle 1-2 common apps that are not already pre-loaded. Touchwiz (Samsung) devices allow you to clear memory from the task manager. My S2 had about 870MB of user-available RAM, and if I trashed all apps, it would go as low as 300MB in use. This may look cool, but it is a complete waste of resources, and the OS is simply going to re-load those apps over the next 2-3 minutes anyway. And if you use a task killer to keep your device idling at 300MB of available RAM? This is simply going to slow down the device, harm the battery, and give you the same memory performance and availability that you would get with an HTC G1.

As the OP was stating that "I only have 150 - 200MB Free RAM" with the Stock ROM, that is definitely NOT what is causing a lag issue. If you have that much free memory (before Android goes caching stuff and not declaring it of course) then you are absolutely fine on any Android device there is.

Well, you were right about the quotes (now, the new values are set), but as the other 4 lines, they still have the same error: No such file or directory, and all values are stock.
Do you have any idea what's going on? Why did it work for one, and didn't for the other lines?

Maybe your partitions aren't mounted.I took these lines from pimp my rom init.d script.Create another script but it has to come before the governor tweaks script.
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,barrier =0,nobh /system
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nosuid,nodev,nodir atime,barrier=0,nobh /data
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nosuid,nodev,nodir atime,barrier=0,nobh /cache

For example, name this script "93Mount" and name the governor script "94Governor" so the mounting script will be executed before governor script.

Well, I did like you said and here's what I got:
Code:
exec /system/bin/sh '/etc/init.d/93Mount'
h '/etc/init.d/93Mount' <
failed: No such file or directory
failed: No such file or directorybh on /data
mount: mounting atime,barrier=0,nobh on /cache failed: Invalid argument
Any idea?
For the People who want Stock Gallery on CM and hate Aosp Gallery like Iam, check facebook offical cyanogenmod. They send a link to their new gallery next. Its in beta stase, so its not avaible yet. But if its stable itll be in play store. Its like the stock gallery app. Very beauty

I'm not sure it's the right track or not, it does happen to me quite ago.
The problem is the SD (my case, luckily it's external). The system try to read files from card but it got error thus try again => laggy
I removed the card and it's alive. Try to check your internal sd. hope that help
App didn't help, I got the same error. Never mind, I give up Will use Trickstermod after every single reboot until finally find solution. Thanks @ottomanhero for all your help.
@GalaxyVolvoZ that app looks realy nice. Finally a good replacement for Stock Gallery.
@klbterminator I don't have any problems with SD, at least didn't so far
Thanks guys.
Regards,
Vladimir
