With so many lagfixes out its a bit confusing for me and probably others on w/c one to use..
Even though I dont feel the benefits of the lagfix on my own device, I am still open to using it and gaining more performance..
I would just like to know w/c fix is the most stable/safe and w/c ones are designed purely for speed ?
i m using this fix on my samsung galaxy s , this fix does not require but "common sense" go to youtube and search for "NO PC NEEDED...fix lag part 1 of 3 .. galaxy s vibrant"

Hi guys ,
I see everybody excited about eminent official release of Froyo.
I have Bell Galaxy (JH2) and I'm very happy with . After rooted and lag fix with Voodoo the phone is very snappy .
My question is , apart from the Flash thing, what else Froyo will improve as I read many people complaining about the phone becoming slow and sluggish.
It will worth the hassle to upgrade if my actual version is very good ?
Thanks.
Stick with eclair if you are happy with it, eclair + voodoo 4 beta is the fastest combination on SGS.
Beside flash support, froyo did few minor tweak, for example
- "call" and " message" in contact now appear right under the contact number, not at the bottom, improve usability
- camera now with front and back camera shortcut available at the top most interface
- the input cursor is very helpful for typing correction
- google group contact can now sync down to your phone
- new youtube client for better support (with flash support)

Yeah I likw the minor tweaks in froyo to the interface etc but Im going to flash back to eclair actually. I miss the speed and can live without the froyo stuff.
Flash is _slow_ and I actually didn't even miss not having it. The browser is froyo is a memory hog and slow compared to eclair too....
Hopefully later froyo versions will speed things up a bit..
especially since froyo seems to correlate highly with corrupted internal sd cards in our phones.. (i9000m) i would wait till official release and then about a month to make sure that there is not a rush or people with corrupted sd due to the release.
Okay , I didnt quite know where to put this ..
i'm a newbie; like a newbie newbie .
So i'm familiar with like.. jailbreaking the ipod and what not .
And I had a ****ty phone up untill today .
I got the cricket huwaei ascend .
its pretty cheap, but its still a droid .
I rooted it .
whatever the hell that means ?
I assume its the same as jailbreaking an ipod or iphone .
Now that I rooted it .
I want to customize my theme .
i want to make it hellakool and crazy .
I dont really understand how to do this ?
I keep finding themes on the internet, but I dont know how to install them on my phone .
And I don't quite understand what a 'ROM' is ..
I have superuser .
and i'm kind of stuck .
Can someone help me add apps, a theme, explain what a rom is, etc .
thanks .
Having root on your phone means you can change /system files. It's not the same as jailbreaking. Jailbreaking on the iPhone means you can install 3rd party applications etc Apple doesn't approve of. Having root means you can switch out anything in your phone, you have administrative rights.
Customizing your Android phone depends on the popularity of the phone itself. You're kind of in the wrong section: Go to your phone's Android and Theme development forums and adress your issues there, you will most probably get more help than you will here.
A ROM is basically what your phone is running on, the system. You can think of it the same way you think about Windows or OSX. When it comes to Android phones there are a variety of ROMs which are built for specific devices. Go into your phones' Android Development thread and you'll see what I mean.
You get applications in the Market.
You get ROMs in Android Development. (Your phones section)
You get themes in Android Themes. (Your phones section)
Hope this is somewhat useful.
That helped quite a bit .
Unfortunately , my phone isn't in the development thread :/
But I have my phone rooted, and I have ROM premium .
So perhaps I can explore a little bit until my phone gains popularity ..
Well is quite simple. What are you looking to do with you phone? That's the question. I've explored many many options on how to make my HTC Eris. But ill tell you. Not knowing how to do these things was vary difficult. Xda and YouTube helped me out. At first I ran kaodroyo v38 but couldn't get it to load the Zip not untill someone told me to download rom manager, that saved ky time so much but i was vary unhappy with the camera and video not working. But in exploring I found calebfroyo v9 cam and video worked great but and a vary huge but.... the android market was gone. So back to kaosfroyo it was. Then I ran across Google apps tiny which reinstalled the missing apps. So now with calebfroyo and Google apps tiny everything works 98% battery lasts way longer cam and video work great, it runs faster than ever but but there is a bad lag from time to time. Now a trick if you plan on running calebfroyo v9. When the reboot loads into the second screen where is shows cryogenic wait for the phone to vibrate and press power of and then on and it will take you to the lock screen. Your ready to go. If you want an easy way to flash a custom kernal search YouTube. Vary vary vary simple. Saved me alot of confusing time.

To dagthedangerous. To load a custom rom get onto you computer and download the rom you want. Then plug your phone into the comp as disk storage and drag and drop the downloaded file to your SD card but have it a stand alone file which means don't put it in a file but place it in the open. Now once loaded unplug your phone from comp. Download rom manager from market. Choose install custum rom. It will download clockwork for your computer. Then chose install rom again once you've done that you will scroll threw you SD card till youfind the zip(don't unzip the file just leave it as a zip file) and load it. Now your good to go. Your phone will install rom. For a custum kernal just search that threw YouTube. Once I did it took me 5 minutes to get the kernal going

I would recommend asking a few developers what your phone is similar to. One of my friends had a cricket phone he rooted that also wasn't here. A developer pointed out that it was very similar to another phone (I can't recall) and he pretty much hung out in that Dev section because he could flash most of their packages. Welcome to the Android community
hi i'm not an expert excuse me if the question seems silly:
i own a google nexus one. i've seen a lot of kernels around and i was wondering what is their purpose. besides i wanted to know if the roms (cyano, stock deodexed rom and so on...) come with their own kernel or if it has to be installed separately. in this case how do i know which my stock kernel was?
Think of Kernels as mini ROMs, they are addons that you can install to the System Partition. Common addons are Undervolting (less power consumption), overclocking, and enabling 720p video recording. So yeah, they're like ROM addons. Some even speed up the phone and fix lag and coloration issues, but thats mainly for the Galaxy S line.
an example is the battery driver edits we did to the nexus one. if you want to change how the phone works with the hardware, changes had to be made to the driver, and re-compiled, then install that kernel to the phone.
so all the devs have all sorts of ideas and things they want to change to drivers and cpu voltages and whatnot to get better performance and stuff. so each kernel has different edits like that battery one. and people like to try out different ones to see which works the best. that's the idea.
ok tnz a lot for the explanation
This Q is for active devs...
Can you guys do RAM to be like after installing V6 supercharger...
Supercharger is great but, it lag from time to time and it needs to be refreshed... So is it possible to modify stock android ram managment to be like supercharger...
(to tweak it actually, to modify minifrees like V6 SC??)
I think performance incrase will be massive that way! Better than some third party scripts.
If it's impossible than, allright.. but it's always good to ask, isn't it?
EDIT:
...oh .. I apologize, I accidentally posted this in dev section instead of general.. so don't mind please!
ANSWER IS: #2 post

Hey Dare-Devil,
this Supercharger script actually does exactly what you asked for:
it modifies the settings of the internal/stock android RAM management,nothing more and nothing less.

One more question..
Is this possible to achieve more multitasking like FROYO on Gingerbread Roms without the things like:--Swapping,supercharger etc.
1. Gingerbread roms are bug free and with extra features but I can run only 3-4 application at a time
e.g.- suppose that I am downloading some files(100-400MB) with opera/dolphin etc in background and suddenly I have to open root explorer and install some applications then during the installation of these applications opera/dolphin automatically kill by the android and downloading stops.
2. FROYO roms are with less features and some bugs like DSP, A&V Sync.
But one thing that is impressive is that I can run 8-9 applications simultaneously.
Take the same example....I can download files via opera/dolphin in parallel with installing apps via root explorer, playing music, market downloading, Emails etc.
I don't know why there is too much difference. I think this point should not be ignored.
Ram manager pro + swapper + sd class 4
That's all you need.
PD: Supercharger it's laggy and doesn't installs easily...

And I were telling this ages ago...
Gingerbread requires more memory for the OS itself than Froyo. It's as simple as that.
This is why our devices are already out of spec and we have to use many, many hacks to make it run to an acceptable level.
If you want to fix that, you have to analyse where this RAM is consumed and rewrite the code of these components more efficiently. This is actually google's job though.
now i'm interested about this part
wait till i release new optimizer
i'm pretty busy lately
new version released
link : Here My Optimizer
Guys use ram manager app by juwe11.it really does its job.buy the full version and use hard multitasking setting.

Auto Memory Manager. The idea behind it is simple, but dont restrict the RAM too much, it can **** up performance.
What swapper exactly does?
Please use Google uncle for this question u will get the answer.
As naa said we have to identify the ram eaters. And rewrite memory management segment for those modules. So the basic question is to identify the modules. For that we need a tool that will show the memory consumption.

Hello people.
I recently bought an xperia z1. A very nice phone which works really well, except for a few things. Hence this topic.
I experience good battery life and quite fast loading of apps etc, but i notice that scrolling inside some apps goes stuttery and laggy. Something i didn't expect from a phone with this kinda hardware. Ecspecially phonebook, call log and gmail have problems with this, just like facebook for example.
Now the questions.
Is this a thing that will be fixed in a future firmware release? And if i install a custom rom using a something like doomkernel, will this issue be better?
It really bothers me somehow, and i don't mind unlocking the bootloader to fix this issue. But if i'm not sure that it will fix this stutter and lag, i think it might not be worth it getting problems etc with warranty.
Thanks in advance for answering
Yes, it can be improved. There is not fix on that and no one can said perfectly what is related too. I got some light laggy launcher but i live with that as it do more stuff than the stock one.
So, if you find an application laggy is not the phone, is the application it self which is badly coded and don't working correctly as it should.
I give you an example, I have Virtua Tennis purchased long time ago, V2.0, then updates after updates the game become laggy as hell, what that mean, that mean updates are ment to improve the application but if they are bad coded they will give you laggy issues, I reverted to v2.0.
At the end I don't think a Firmware will solve all this problems but you can be sure, you will get improvements installing Custom Roms or Custom Kernels which are ment to performing your device.
I don't saying it is worth to unlock bootloader, check also the applications which working in background, all the time they are the main reason for laggy phone as they run and eat ram and CPU.
You have to spend time flashing some latest FW and find the most stable combination.

Thanks for the quick answer!
And what you're saying about the background apps eating ram and cpu, i was thinking the same thing. I notice the lag is random, sometimes it goes quite fluent and sometimes its like i'm working with a phone that can't handle the os because of low specs. Really weird. Is there any tool that gives detailed insight into these background apps and stuff?
The main thing bothering me is the phone/phonebook/call log app which is delivered from sony itself. It's just text, and even that makes the scrolling in that app very stuttery. While i get updates for apps like album, and the scrolling inside that app goes smooth as silk. Just like scrolling within chrome (although it sometimes hangs for a very short moment).
And btw. rooting and deodexing without unlocking the bootloader, will that help too? I guess there's tools that make better performance too then. Or is working with unlocked bootloader better?

Yes, there is an application which check what application wake up your phone or running when the phone is in sleep or even when it should be off but is not. At the moment I don't remember that application as I never used that one, but I know there is as it was mentioned many times for the same reason and battery drain.

Root your phone will definitely help in many ways as many Applications to check your system need Root access, and also if you find an system app that cause your issues and uninstalling is necessary then Root is needed too. Deodexing can improve the customization as it meant for it but is not for performance, so is just up to you if you want to do it or not. There is no tool which will improve performance on your phone, my personal opinion they are all junk application, like the kind of System cleaner. Android is not Windows.
Rooting and Deodexing can be done without Unlocking Bootloader. Unlocking Bootloader is for flash Custom Kernels only. You still can flash Custom Roms based on Stock Kernels.
I'm really thinking of doing that right now. Also because of scrolling cache, which i think might be the cause for the issue i'm having trouble with.
Do you know something about it?

Not really but that kind of stuff it can not be done without Root, I guess.

I noticed that custom roms like romaur and ihackers included that mod. Then i looked it up on google and found some articles which said that many apps have a bad way of handling that cache. I also don't have any experience with other firmwares than the unrooted 4.4.2. Hence my question.
Now i'm also thinking that sony puts alot of effort into optimizing apps for this purpose with new devices, maybe that's why i hear that the 4.2.2 experiences are much better than the newest 4.4.2. But that can also be a bit negative thinking, since i still got hope that future firmwares will make scrolling through call log/phonebook or gmail better.
Although on my old xperia s i noticed the same. With the 4.1 firmware installed, the facebook app scrolled alot better then the with the updates that came after it. Just like stock browser always been the best scroller. Unlike chrome and firefox for example. On my z1 chrome clearly is the best scroller btw, just hangs sometimes. But then it's on long facebook pages etc. Otherwise its very fluent.
