I'm have had my hero for about half a year and have tried alot of different. Roms but all of them still run slow.
So I was hoping someone could give me instructions and download links on how I could get my phobe to run as fast as it possibly can
Thanks for all that help me

Go read this thread and use that kernel with the ROM recommended there.

Try Darchdroid or you can wait until the get all the bugs worked out of the Froyo rom. I have been running the froyo rom since June 25th and it is fast.
Sense is eating up alot of your speed .

Sorry to say this but sense doesn't slow my rom down one bit. Its all in ur head. I've got my rom oc'd and have multiple launchers including sense and there is no speed difference. Actually it is quite fast.
I just downloaded Fresh 2.3.3
I just downloaded fresh 2.3.3 and its pretty quick, you will of course need a task killer, im using AutoKiller set to aggressive in the presets. I am considering overclocking it but havent yet
Question: what exactly is it about a particular ROM that makes it fast? JIT? For example, everyone says Darchdroid is fast. What about it that makes it so? A lot also say Fresh, HoneyBun, and nfinitefx's ROM are fast. I know they all support OC, but all things equal, is there an agreed speed tier list?

What affects the speed is the number of apps (as well as their optimizations), overclocking, JIT, the ROM base, and the Launcher. The number of apps affects the phone's memory. More memory = less lag generally (apps2sd corrects this issue). Overclocking, of course, increases the raw speed of the ROM. JIT helps apps lag less (games pretty much). The ROM base is a big factor. Basically HTC ROM's have more bloat in them than AOSP ROM's, so AOSP runs faster almost all the time. The Launcher also affects the speed because large launchers such as Sense take up more RAM. The generic, vanilla launcher is extremely minimal and therefore doesn't use as much RAM. So if you can optimize the heck out of Sense, then it will run faster.
drop it out of a plane.
My Experiences:
I have tried JIT, AOSP ROM , Sense + OC, and Sense. And now I am back at Sense + OC. Here are my opinions:
- JIT:
Pro: App loading + executing is much faster
Con: Phone run HOT + lower Baterry life + Bugs (Hopefully FROYO solve this)
- OC:
Pro: This speed up the system significantly.
Con: None or not yet
- ROM that has tweaks in the following areas will help speed up the phone:
1) Low memory killer tweak to prvovide more RAM (aggressively to kill hidden app, content provider and Empty app)
2) CPU Threshold setting at lower value (instead of default at 80%) --> Cost battery life but much quicker response at UI interface level.
My phone is fast and stable with Sense + OC at the moment. The wishes that I have for my phone now is:
1. Install more RAM .. hehheh not possible
2. Move Dalvik cache to phone internal cache space like Darch Droid
3. A Kernel that OC the GPU

idk about that. i tried dd2.7 yesterday for the first time. i wiped and installed 7 times to get it to run fast. enabled jit, flashed uv kernel,i had nothing installed at the time and no lw and it was 70% slower than my nfinite rom. i honestly dont know why everyone says dd is so fast. it literally took 15 seconds just to open up the dialer. i even restarted the phone several time so it would zipalign everything. and yes i wiped everything including ext.

When you first install a rom you will need to wait until the phone is done loading everything. Usually people try to open stuff before everything has been finalized and so it will open slower. I love sense, but in my opinion it is slower, but that might have been because I didn't OC it.

Has to be something you are not doing or your phone. I am running darchdroid 2.7 right now and it is hands down FASTER than any other ROM I have tried. I have the UV kernel installed as well. Most key presses are instant. Did you set the transitions to fast or turn them off altogether? That makes a big difference.

i did everything right. like i do with all my roms. i always turn the window and transition animation to off. that makes it so much faster then if you turn it to fast. had that set to off,uv kernel flashed, let everything finish syncing,didnt even install anything. still took 15 seconds just to open up the dialer. my nfinite rom is super fast. the second i press on something it almost emediately comes up. almost **** bricks at how fast it was

Maybe you should update your signature . I'm curious, how's the speed/battery life of Fresh 2.3.3 compared to nfinitefx rom? I'm trying to decide which should be my first custom rom. Oh, and are you using the odex or deodex version?
Hey, for some reason all CM6 builds/ROMs based on CM6 crash pretty badly for me. Programs don't seem to fc but rather the phone freezes and the capicative buttons become unresponsive. I wipe everything before each flash but I still get the same problems.
I'm currently running the asim rom which has zero problems and excellent battery life. MCR21 (What asim rom is based on) also runs perfectly. CM 5.08 worked just fine but any builds after this point cause the above issues. I run stock kernels most of the time so I've ruled that out.
I don't currently have a2sd and install only a handful of applications:
adbWireless
Adfree
Adobe Flash 10.1
Bloo
ChromeToPhone
Dolphin HD
Flikie Wallpapers HD
Folder Organiser
Lastpass
Launcher Pro
Music Mod
Mute
OI File Manager
PSX4Droid
Quick Boot
Set CPU
SMS Popup
Titanium Backup
Trackball Alter Pro
Set CPU doesn't use profiles and I simply set it to On Demand. I can't see anyone else running into the same problems with CM6 so it must be something on my end, however other roms work just perfect so I'm baffled. Any ideas guys?
Thanks!
Have you tried another Froyo based ROM, such as Enom's? At a glance, it looks like all of the ones that work for you are Eclaire, which points to problems with software.
Have you tried running the system with NO apps installed? I know, it's hard to consider, but might help isolate an app problem vs ROM problem vs hardware problem.

Yep r21 is based on 2.2. I'm starting to think it might be an app problem as you say. Weird that it is only caused on CM6 though.

I've tried this for the past couple of hours and while it does help to some extent I am still getting the occasional reboot.

Hi all,
With CM7 i'm enjoying my Milestone like never before. But since it's my first custom ROM, i have some questions though.
1. When returning to the home screen, 9 out of 10 times it reloads and rebuilds completely. How can i avoid this?
2. If it's a memory issue and i want to keep it in memory, how can i accomplish this without the risk of losing other essential apps from memory, like SMS and phone?
3. I read something about priorities for apps, how does this work?
4. Sometimes my device reboots randomly. My CPU is set to 900. Can this be the cause? If so, what's the best CPU speed setting?
So far for now, but i guess i'll be back with some more ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Gerard

I'm no expert so someone please correct me if i'm wrong and sorry for all spelling errors.
What version of CM7 are you running? If u'r running RC3 0.08-11.03.16 that homescreen Redraw (problem number 1) should be minor, something like 1 out of 10 times, atleast on my milestone. There is "Keep home in memory" setting in Cyanogenmod settings -> Performance, make sure it's enabled and for the problem number 2 enable "Keep SMS in memory". You shouldn't care much about app priorities cause CM7 memory management is taking care of that pretty well. Random reboot are DSI errors, they are minor in the newest CM7 version but there is no failsafe way to avoid them, if you don't want to chance the kernel, you can read about that in CM7 for milestone thread.
Thanks, i just can't find the "keep SMS in memory" option?
Then you probably won't have the newest version of CM7. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 and flash it just like u flashed it at the first time. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache from open recovery and you will get to keep all your personal settings and files/apps.
That's the one i have and i already found it. But thanks again!

A few answers of my own:
1) The CPU speed is probably NOT the cause of your reboots, but if you want to be sure, try it for a week. 700 is safer, 550 is default.
2) If it is your CPU overclocking, you may be able to fix it by upping the voltage on your overclock. This will lead to a bit more heat and a bit more battery drain, but should fix the reboots if CPU related
3) I would look at the SUPERCHARGE your Milestone thread about memory management settings. Although Zepps's settings and scripts are meant for tweakers and are probably a tad aggressive if you don't know what you are doing, they did speed up my phone by 200%.
I would recommend installing AutoMemoryManager and using the mild settings if you want to do something less aggressive than the Supercharge scripts...
You will get some of the benefits of the supercharge and a very low risk of apps getting killed by the memory manager.
My 2 cents!
thanks caz.
I'm pretty sure the new minfree settings that I've been testing out are the best of both worlds... superfast and background friendly.
I hadnt had a chance to update the thread yet and post the new script.
But for those interested, this should really work great... 6, 8, 24, 26, 28, 30.
Thanks all, i'll look into those things. By reading that is, because i've got a lot to learn!
Hi all,
I'm still experimenting and impressed by this ROM. Just now I performed a fix permissions to prevent apps from fc. That modified the read & write permissions of all apps. I assumed it couldn't hurt to try, but now I'm wondering what it did exactly. There aren't any noticable changes. Can anyone fill me in?
Thanks,
Gerard

I'm not sure what you mean, but this is my first custom ROM coming from stock Eclair on my first Android device.

CM7 already uses EXT4, so lagfix would be pointless. That's why you flash the speedmod kernel first, because it converts it for you. I wouldn't use OCLF though considering it's been unsupported for ~6 months. I'd say use a voodoo kernel or any custom rom using speedmod or just cm7 or miui.
was also wondering if anyone ever used any of those apps like juicedefender or anything like that, and wanted to know what everyone thought of them
I have tried using juicedefender, etc. but I really noticed no difference in battery life. I find the easiest way to close an app is to hit the back arrow on the bottom of your phone until you leave the app. This usually closes the app that is on although some apps have to be closed by going to settings, applications, running applications and stopping them.
anyone else add to there experiences with apps like this

I'm still wondering why some people like you still thinking of the stone age OCLF.....
OCLF has been developed right after GalaxyS released in market.
It use old EXT2 and loop device upon RFS in GalaxyS.
(people should take a look and understand what is lagfix, what it does)
It benefit in benchmarking, Only.
But it is not really fix lag problem, file performance still bad, and lack of data integrity in system failure..
Most kernels here are full EXT4 buildin (except stock kernel),
and also has many tweaks and Voodoo Sound etc.
If you use Dev.kernel and still use OCLF,
it is so stupid and really don't understand what's going on.
imo the lagfix did make the phone perform better. the best lagfix i have every run was a custom one the i was told to run on the phoenix irc. you had to be on a universal lagfix type of kernel and it was like this
data_fs =ext4
cache=ext4
DBDATA=ext4
DATA_LOOP= ext2
CACHE_LOOP=ext2
DBDATA_LOOP=ext2
BIND_DATA_TO_DBDATA=kept on default value (Recomended)
i got super fast speeds with this

It is usable, and fast especially in benchmarking,
but it is not a good idea to put on loop device in mobile devices.
You get that speed, but you will pay the price in getting bigger chance of data corruption.
As for Juice Defender, I used it for a bit, and paid for Ultimate Juice, but it started screwing up my data connection to the point where the only way I could get it back was to reboot the phone, then it would just botch it up all over again. There was no support offered by the developers, they wouldn't respond to any communications, I deleted it and found my battery actually improved. I wouldn't bother with it.
I actually use my phone to do stuff... not only tinker endlessly with it. I have Skype, Whatsapp, FB, Twitter running on the device at all times.
Last time I checked, when I boot my phone I have 768 MB in use! So when I open Chrome, or Logmein, it takes.. .forever. Even opening the dialer takes a couple of seconds. The phone itself is smooth - opening apps is what chokes my phone.
I don't overclock my phone (on JB it's impossible, anyway). But I don't think it's a GHz issue. I think that if I had 2 GB of RAM everything would be fine.
Anyway.
Should I get off JellyBean for the time being and go back to ICS? Or, would CM10 be faster and lighter?
I can't believe that when I got my Note a couple of months ago I thought it was blazing fast, and now it seems turtle-like when comparing it to my wife's Optimus 4X
In Cm10 or 10.1, ram usage is low and apps open fast too.
There are several things you can do to speed it up and lower the RAM usage. Easiest method would be to flash a tweaked ROM like Ultimate or Alliance, which already come with various optimizations. But what I found best regarding RAM usage was to install ROM Toolbox Pro, and tweak the settings under Memory Management. I use the "Advanced" or "Aggressive" profile.
This is, of course, if you want to stick with Samsung ROMs. Otherwise you could try CM/AOKP-based ROMs, some are much more lightweight than Samsung. The best in my opinion are SlimBean and Jellybam.

You should try Cassies Xtra lite 11.1 LSA (there is slight difference between LSC so dev didn't make a ROM that's based on LSC)
Than flash LSC kernel if u want and use V6 superecharger from zepp and your antutu will be somewhere near 10000!!!

All the possibilities above are good alternatives to you, friend.
I use CM10.1 cause I'm always looking for good battery and smoothness.
As I'm too lazy to install and tweak those RAM optimizers, I always try custom ROMs.
Btw, Jelly Bam is trully great.
