Tips to speed up my phone?

So I am running fresh, and I love it, 2.1 is awesome, but I can't stand the keyboard lag. Turning off optic doesn't help me that much and everything else is off. So my question is, dies anybody have tips for me to speed my phone up? Short of course of overclocking my phone? Also I love and use sense. Thanks in advance!

Some people will say use swype, some will say they don't have lag, some will say no matter what you do there will be lag, some will say "Why didn't you do a search for this"
Do a search in the forum and you will find plenty of threads with possible solutions.

I get very little lag.
Download auto killer, set it to the most aggressive setting and try it out. You can always adjust it from there.
Keeping free memory up helps a ton.

i know this is just a suggestion and ull get a ton of these but im using the original aosp keyboard with no voice to text or anything and get next to no lag. i think its the voice to text that is messing everything up. do a searcvh and find it and try it

i have found a solution to everyones problems, try this keyboard out in the market called thickbuttons it doesnt lag at all and its freakin sick

Yeah I've done the searches and tried all the fixes/ suggestions. I will try the thinkbuttons thing, but I don't like swype. Anyways, I'll look into enabling JIT on fresh, I haven't done that since I was on Darchdroid. Thanks alot! Any other tips for speeding things up? Does a2sd speed the phone up?

Only if you're SDcard is faster then the phones ROM, in which case it will make loading them faster.

on that note i have a question...How can i remove my app2sd, till i get a better chip? my hero was flying till i installed it on my stock chip. Now i need to undo, so what reformat? got to b an easier way??

I think you can make an EXT backup, but I'm not sure how to do it short of manually taking everything from /system/sd/app and moving it to /data/app

Hit up Damagecontrol 2.08.1, he included a new lighter keyboard that doesn't lag anywhere near as bad, the only real problem is the fact that the vibration feedback is sometimes messy, but I just turned it off. Otherwise it types like a dream.
Also, Damageless is customizing that latest 2.1 leak that came from Sprint, and in 2.08.1 there's DCUpdater, which allows you to update directly from the phone itself without a complete wipe. I strongly recommend it, it's got what you're looking for and more.

Sorry bro, but thick buttons has such a terrible learning curve. If you stare while typing, sure it works. But if you type faster than you can process what key gets larger, it isn't for you.

Do you have lag anytime you use the keyboard, or just when sending texts?
I know I had bad lag with the stock KB and the HTC MMS app.. but I have since switched over to the AOSP Mms.apk, and I have no lag in it at all.

Sorry to budge in, but I have had the same problem for a while now, I love the layout and prediction of the HTC keyboard (XDA) but the lag is annoying. For a while I used the AOSP mms.apk and all was well, but I couldn't send pic messages, let alone view them.
Is there a way to get around that and still have AOSP?

I use the AOSP Mms.apk on RegawMOD. Works just fine. Try repushing?

It hasnt been re-released yet, but I love TouchPal. You can still find the apk on rapidshare or hit me up and I can send it to you. You can turn off haptic feedback and make it scream and it has all the functionality of the HTC keyboard and then some.

Load up Zen's latest ROM - I kid you not - any questions?

I finally have no lag. I have no lag period even when I run pandora. I run purehero with the regular htc.ime. that was one of my main goals in finding a faster rom.

As long as you are using it on a low res screen like the hero, the attached apk should work. If you need it for something higher res like the droid, I think I have the APK at home. There are a lot of settings for this, so play around until you find a set that works. I suggest turning of the haptic feedback because that seems to slow down all keyboards on the hero.

Whats new in FRF83 Froyo 2.2

I'm wondering what all we can be expecting, and looking for here.
I've been running the first released Froyo 2.2 that was FRF50 so I know of all the changes to that. I'm wondering what anyone is finding with the new FRF83 that just dropped.
If you see or notice anything, please post it.

- new kernel build

Protected apps now show in the market

no fm radio then...

Screen problem?

Never had screen problems with mine, even with 2.1, nothing different here.

I've not had the screen problem at all on FRF50.. really. I think it was fixed. and not used 83 long enough yet to comment

Flash seems to run smoother, (the intro-video of adobe flash site is very nice to view!) but i still only can see flash BETA 3 :S

the crazy screen is worse than ever in 72. maybe cos I have korean keyboard installed i dunno. but it's also playing up in the market app when scrolling now.

trackball wake???? WHere

So far, the major change I see from FRF50 is the web browser. Scrolling is improved on certain (more complicated HTML?) web pages when Javascript is enabled. For example, try browsing Slashdot.org. Scrolls much smoother than FRF50. Seems like mild improvement over FRF72 also.
Edit: That's not all. Scrolling in market is smoother too - I suspect a change in kernel scheduling/interrupts or something fundamental and system-wide. Linpack is scoring 41+ with *default* kernel now - that's a good 6-8% faster than default kernel on FRF50 (I never tested FRF72). Either a side-effect of kernel improvements or further improvements to JIT.
Edit2: One more thing I noticed - something has changed with Flash handling in FRF83 from FRF72. Flash video on NYTimes.com was smooth and awesome (except in fullscreen) 2 days ago on FRF72. Now video quality seems to be significantly degraded (this is all on Wifi so I can't imagine what else would be different). I am still running the same Flash 10.1 beta 3 I was running before. This could possibly be something changed on NYTimes.com or elsewhere, hard to know, but I was really enjoying watching Flash video under FRF72 and I can't say the same now. I also tried switching to UAString Desktop in browser and playing some Youtube video, and they weren't degrading but seemed to be losing audio sync instantly. Definitely a few glitches in the matrix with the interactions between FRF83 and Flash 10.1 Beta3 that need to be addressed.

No, this has been discussed a thousand times. Google is not putting FM radio in, likely ever. It'll be up to the community.

Trackball alerts are not colored? wtf?

Sure they are, install Blink from the market.

Hahahahhha, it automatically reinstalled all of my old apps off the market after a wipe. That's new right?
I effin love google.

Edit: Ok, now it seems to be working. Can't change incoming call LED (well, I tried orange, maybe it didn't like that color?)

Try switching off the default notifications see if that helps.

New Android Market V2.2.11

Just an FYI, I installed it and a bunch of stuff I couldn't find in the market before is there. ( I doubt it though )
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P3SVF3IE
https://sites.google.com/site/droidlife24/home/Vending_2_2_11.apk?attredirects=0&d=1
Let me know what you think, I've had problems, so use at your own risk ( I should have put this earlier, I hope it didn't hurt anyone, as always back up first )
* I have been having wifi issues since this update. When it comes out of sleep the wifi wont connect automatically

might be jumping the gun trying market fix.

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.

Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim

Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.

I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.

I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.

I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.

anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1

I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.

ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with

Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..

@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative

[APP Help] Photaf

Hi, could someone test the photaf app out (in Market) as I am having trouble using it on my Nexus S. I have emailed the dev and he seems to think its a hardware problem or calibration issue. When you load it up and 'create panorama', select auto. Once it has taken a photo you need to move the camera right or left (it tells you) and there is a frame on the bottom left that should move too. Mine keeps juddering.
Can you let me know how you get on so I can report back to the dev.

I've used it once or twice with no issues.

I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution? Was really looking forward to taking panoramas

This doesn't work for me either - I thought it was me not using it properly.

it's the borked gps / compass / accellerometers that are to blame, same problem for me. so yeah, hardware / driver issue. maybe the dev can "dampen" erratic values to work around this problem. and what an awesome app btw!

No the dev said it was just hardware issue on the phone, I never got round to replying unfortunately. Shame as its a great app

Hi,
I'm the Developer of Photaf. Did the latest Gingerbread update fixed the compass issues?

Yes, it did. The compass works fine on 2.3.4

It works better if you don't use auto and manually align it anyway.

Screen Capture

Well here is another question sorry if it has already bein answered. Well the other day while surfing the internet at the bottom of my screen in a box it said "screen captured" I don't know how I did it but I did. Well it created a new photo of what I was viewing and a folder for it. So has anyone heard of this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Are you rooted and do you have ShootMe? ShootMe has an option to use the accelerometer (by shaking) to take a screen shot. You don't need to shake it very hard. It also has options to use the proximity sensor and noise (yelling at the phone).
With 2.3.3, there will be a built in screen shot tool, but that isn't even a twinkle in our eye yet.

Nope I don't have any screen capture apps and I am running froyo 2.2 from att stock non rooted. It really has confused me..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Hrm.. never heard of that happening unless you have downloaded an application that will take screenshots.
I would double check what apps you have installed. Also... I know a lot of the custom ROM's are starting to "harden" their builds against spam/ads/spyware etc..
Possible you will want to update your hosts files to block the crud on the internet. Unfort I don't know if their is an app in the market that does this or if you would just have to move to a custom ROM.
Keep us posted.

Well after doing some research I found this...http://getandroidstuff.com/how-to-take-screenshot-with-samsung-galaxy-s-with-no-root/ now I can't get it to work on my phone but maybe it will work on others and when I went to my running services I had one called "screencaptureservice" I may just be pushing the wrong buttons though any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Well.. this is a whole lot less scary.
The site states if your holding down the back button then press the home button it will take a screen cap.
I would just monitor how your using your phone and be careful when pressing your capacitive buttons. Could be it just recognized the command as you wanted to take a screen shot and you just fat-fingered it
Good info to have though - thanks for the tip.
***edit... btw I couldn't replicate this - but then I'm running a custom ROM. Anyone on stock 2.2 been able to repeat this?

Lol no problem hopefully it helps somebody though I still can't get it to work for me
Though I did just root my phone and I don't really need it seems iphoneish
