Hi all,
I have a question while enjoying my Milestone to the max, thanks to CM7!
Since RC4 I have a problem with ADW Launcher after booting the device.
First it seems like there's a delay connecting to the SD card, because the icons of apps installed on SD don't show up on my homescreen. Instead a stock or native icon is visible.
Then the homescreen goes black for a few seconds and reloads completely. The icons of apps on SD still don't show, and my weather widget says it can't connect.
After a little while a message pops up, saying that "activity ADW Launcher in process android.process.acore doesn't respond". I can choose to close ADW Launcher or wait. In both cases all loads well after making one of those choises, it doesn't matter which one.
Since I suspected some kind of delay affecting the SD card and Internet connection, I expected this to be (partially) solved in RC4.1 according to this release note: "fix: kernel modules sometimes installed too late (sd-ext not mounted, overclock not applied)". But unfortunately in my case it isn't.
I already have tried disabling Sense previews and Wallpaper Hack in ADWLauncer settings, but that didn't help. Am I the only one with this problem or does it sound familiar? In that case, what can be done?
Thanks a lot,
Gerard

the problem of the launcher crashing is sumthin everyone faces .. n it does slow the phone down as well .. ask a techie if u can remove adw launcer and install another launcer cuz ther has to b a launcher faster than adw ..
Okay, but I can't imagine this behaviour occurring on every device at the moment?
on most devices u c this prob .. tht is wher stock rom is better and snappier ..
in rc4 sumtimes the power control widgets in the notification bar also disappear .. its werid ..

Not on supercharged phones. No launcher redraws. Ever.
Plus, gingerbread packed with apps feels as light and fast as stock froyo with nothing installed on it.
You should try it.

I sure will. In fact, I wanted to supercharge my Milestone since I read the topic, but I'm still struggling through the loads of information trying to figure out what I need and need not to do. Once I created a step-by-step instruction, I'm good to go.
Maybe you can help me to make me see the big picture. From what I understand, I need an app like AMM and one of your scripts. In the app I can modify the minfree settings. The script takes care of loading these settings on every boot. Is this correct? If so, can you please tell me which files I need for the first 2 steps? I don't need extra apps like GScript and Busybox so far, do I? Trying to start off simple...
Any additional instructions are welcome!

Yes all the steps are in the Gscript section.
You don't need AMM or AKMO but I use AMM just for diagnosing and poking around to see how everything is working.
All you gotta do is install busybox and gscript as per instructions in the Gscript section.
Hi all, and especially Zeppelinrox,
Since CM7 RC4 my launcher hardly ever gets NOT redrawn/reloaded. Very annoying. I've tried every setting and combinations of settings with no luck. So I've decided to step into the deep and give Superlaunch and Bulletproof a go. I'm still not sure if I understand the whole package though, so I'd like to verify whether or not I did the right thing.
I've just installed Gscript and in there I activated from script v5: balanced, status and the Bulletproof launcher. I unchecked the "keep launcher in memory" setting. Then I rebooted.
Now I'm gonna do some tests, but was this procedure correct and complete? And does this stick after a reboot? If not, how can I make it stick for both Superlaunch and Bulletproof? I assume I don't have to manually execute these scripts after rebooting every time?
I'll report my findings later today. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Gerard

Yes it all sounds correct and the settings will persist after reboot.
However, by default the launcher is not bulletproof you can run that script separately if tou still get redraws.
V6 has Hard To Kill Launcher which is as strong as it can be without bulletproofing - much stronger than lock home in memory.
With V6, bulletproofing should not be necessary at all while allowing games to be played.
But it is still an option for those that don't play games.

Well, I can tell you this: it's awesome! I've been poking around for hours now, and never had a single redraw. My Milestone runs smoother than ever. Fan-tas-tic!
I just don't understand the AMM readings. It always shows it's own mild settings, but shouldn't it display the script values?
Thanks a lot!
Gerard
Which script did you apply?
AMM is stupid that way lol
Just be sure SuperUser give no permissions to AMM
AKMO will show the current minfree values when you run it though - just disable it's apply settings at boot option - or don't give superuser permission.
I applied Balanced3 from gscript-Custom_ROMS_SuperCharge+BulletProof_Pack_v5.zip (10.7 KB, 461 views)
In SuperUser permissions for AMM are denied.
So AMM doesn't read the current values at all and I'm OK? Guess I'll have to calculate the values myself from the show status script then, or is there an easier (preferable newbie) way to verify if all settings are correct?
Now we're at it, later today I'm gonna install the CM7 update. I know I'll have to recalibrate the battery after that, but do I have to run these scripts again too?
Thanks again!
Gerard
Ya I'd like to figure out a way to do the calculation with the script.
I haven't been able too get to far on that as of yet.
I mentioned in my prvious post - you can quickly check with AKMO - Autokiller Memory Optimizer - just disable the apply on boot option.
There is also Minfree Manager.
Yep, run the scripts again after flashing a rom
I just installed AKMO and it displays the scripts values flawlessly!
Don't know what AMM did, but apparently it kept on changing the values to very strange numbers after a reboot. I can't remember them, but the 3rd one was 256 (1). I'm sure it had no root permissions though. But now AMM is gone, all loads well after rebooting according to AKMO.
It makes all the difference in the world, I can tell you that. My Milestone runs like a complete new device. So smooth, fast and stable. I can recommend it to everyone!
I have just one more question. What script is best suitable for running big map apps, like Google Earth? It's lagging, freezing and closing with the standard minfree settings. The Balanced3 script makes it better, but can it improve even more?
Thanks again and again and...
Gerard
I dunno.
That's a big app
Maybe you can overclock it more LOL
btw... I DID IT... I got the script to convert pages to mb... woohoo
I'm already at 1000 Mhz, can't seem to get it running at 1100 or higher though, cause it keeps rebooting from the M logo. But maybe there's potential for a script handling "big apps" ;-)
Anyway, congrats on your progress with the scripts! I wonder why devs haven't implemented this in their ROM's yet.
Now it's time to move on to my next project: an ext-partition. I read so much about it. Still no idea about the advantages though, so I'll start by figuring that out first.
Thanks for all your help and good luck with your work!

Use that and only do the steps to create the ext2 partition. Then after that, reboot CM7 and you should have all of your apps on your ext2 partition, thus making your phone a bit faster(less internal memory used) and the potential for a TON of more apps installed on your phone, depending on the size of your ext2 partition.
Really! You just saved me a lot of reading, thanks!
So after I created the ext2 partition through my PC, rebooting the device handles moving my apps? No reinstalling, no manual uninstalling from internal memory? But how about apps without apps2sd option, will they be unaffected? Or does ext2 simulate internal memory, so all apps can be installed there? If so, will apps from the Market then automatically be installed on ext2, with or without apps2sd?
Sounds great!
Thanks in advance,
Gerard

All you should have to do is reboot and the reboot might take longer than usual as CM7 would be transferring all your apps to the ext2 partition. All apps that are installed afterwards are installed on your ext2 partition.

Can someone explain what the advanced launcher is? Maybe I am just confused by the options it provides. What does creating a submenu do? What is the application drawer (when I click on it, the screen is blank)? What does it mean by the number of home screens? Tray Launcher columns? I've been on XDA for a bit of time now but I've never understood the Advanced Launcher thing.
I can answer some of these for you.
Sub menu, in the app draw (the thing at the bottom that you slide up with all of you applications) instead of everything all listed you can make folders so they are grouped.
Home Screens when you swipe left and right how many do you want? default is 3 1 middle 1 left 1 right but you can have more.
Tray launcher columns, in the app draw when you open it up how many icons wide do you want? I think default is 4 but you can set it higher and the icons are smaller so more fit in the window.

It is the Homescreen on steroids. Submenu means in the app drawer you can have folders to categorize apps. The app drawer is the tab that you pull up to see your apps. It lets you have more than the default 3, I think it allows for up to 10. How many apps do you want going across in the app drawer, 3, 4, 5?
Ahhhh, I see. So basically its useless for my needs...How do I delete it? In applications -> manage applications, there isn't an option to uninstall. Thanks, guys.

That's probably included by default. You can't delete it because I think there is no reg. homescreen included.
But if you want to try, then
rm /system/app/AdvancedLauncher.apk
I don't recommend it though

I'm using Cyan 4.2.12.2 w/Darkstar .6.8 and I flashed the AL separately. I wanted to check it our but it sucks IMO (not the AL itself but it sucks for my needs).
While I have your attention, I have also gone to only FAT32 and Linux Swap partitions because I wanted to see if things run faster w/o A2SD. I was trying to do my partitions via ADB and only wanted to use a FAT32 because I think I read Cyanogen doesn't use swap. I got some sort of error but I was at work and couldn't really pay too much attention to the error. So, I formatted with 64 Linux-swap and the rest FAT32 just to get my phone functioning again. Soooo, my question is, should I just keep the swap there or should I try to get rid of it and use all 8GB for FAT32? Do I need to delete any user.conf's that may be lingering in there somewhere? Anything else I should pay attention to given that I don't have an ext partition right now? Again, thanks a lot for your help.

Since it seems that it didn't work without swap I would keep it. It also helps if you ever want to use swap, then it doesn't require you to flash and reformat again
I understand there are many lag fixes, but i think my issue may be past that
My SGS is very very sluggish lately and was before
I'm constantly finding myself at 100% cpu usage (finding out from android system info app) and its making the phone so sluggish, not only is it embarrasing to hold in my hand... but makes me think about suicide (even my htc vogue wasn't this bad)
Reason i even go close to saying the htc vogue comment is, if my vogue lagged... i would press the reset button.. and quick boot back up and all would be well.. but the SGS once after i remove battery and put it back in, it still has very sluggish boot time and isn't as smooth as before
I AM on the latest firmware btw... this is the info i grabbed from Android System Info
The process is android.process.acore (using 100%) which comes from package org.adw.launcher
The EXACT same thing happened with Launcher Pro which is why i tried adw launcher... i thought it might've been launcher pro to begin with, which is why i did the switch.. but now im having same problem
First launcher pro, now adw
I'm guessing the problem is something else..
-- is this lag the one everyone seems to be having? Hence the "lagfixes?"
I applied Ryans lag fix via apk and no difference at all
Is there a way i can dump log / info / apps so maybe we can trace this down?
I LOVE the phone and constantly show off its abilities, but lately its been doing this and making me look like a jackass haha
Appreciate the help!
What's is your quadrant result? But the 100% cpu is abnormal, you need to solve that first.
Did you get that when if you use the touchwiz launcher?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
touchwiz is smaller.. but I'm currently waiting for it to get to that point of lag again (probably in another hour or two) and i'll manually kill adw and launch touchwiz to see how it works
I just ran quadrant with 1808 and i got error while it was showing my result saying internal error during benchmark execution with a close button
I did it again.. got 2198 but same error
... Before i used to get 2200 and before lagfix it was 880
I'll wait for the 100% lag (i just rebooted) and try again and update
Which firmware are you running?
Sounds like you need to do a reflash and format. Try giving jm1 rev.3 a shot as that is by far the best fw to date.
The latest stable firmware on kies, or from here?
From Kies... JH2
I'm on Bell btw, got the GT-I9000M
Toss3: I guess if there aren't any ideas, i'll do a full backup with titanium... and try reflash/format and see how that works... if not its either phone hardware wise or some app that i have
Sounds like a homescreen widget that is doing a ton of processing and pushing your CPU up to 100%. It believe would show up under the launcher, cause widgets run on the homescreen.
that is also one of my theories.. just dont know the easiest way to figure out what it is..
only way i can think is to delete all and slowly add one by one

You don't need to delete all, you can't have too many widgets that could potentially be burning that much CPU, although if you do that'd be my place to start .
Think about it logically... Widgets that need to poll data (facebook/twitter/RSS) and widgets that use a lot of RAM (anything pretty/animated). My inclination is that you have something set to poll very frequently (1min) that is also trying to pull a lot of data at a time so that its not finishing one full pull before it starts the next one.
If that still doesn't do the trick do a backup and reflash (even to the same FW version is fine) and set it up with the absolute bare minimum of widget and homescreens. See if the problem remains with NOTHING, which it shouldn't, then refill over the course of a few days.
Alternatively, you could just try autokiller on agressive. Your problem is obviously coming from an errant process that you aren't knowingly using. Don't see why autokiller won't keep it stomped down.
i dont have any widget with a low update frequency
i have facebook.. vlingo button.. beautiful home and weather... pure calendar.. stock youtube. . google search. batterylife and a brightness toggle
the rest are just contact or app shortcuts
ive tried killing widget processes as well but that hasnt done much help
today ill experiment a bit more though
The phone is really testing my patience though, constantly having full UI lock ups
Tired of your widgets redrawing and lagging when you come back to the home launcher? Well then enter this into your data/local.prop file
Code:
ro.home_app_adj=1
Just put that into your /data/local.prop file and then reboot
You should be good to go!
How does this work ?
Does it keep them the widgets and homescreen elements in memory thereby increase memory usagE ?

Yes it keeps them in memory. However, the X has plenty to spare. No performance issues whatsoever, just a faster redraw.
Its almost like the checkbox in LP that say "Attempt To Force into Memory", only this way actually works.
Is this just for the Blur Home or will it effect things like ADW.Launcher?

I used text editing the local.prop file with fission rom v2.1.RC2 through root explorer. The setting seems to stay after a reboot. However, I did not notice any improvement at all.

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.

ADW Launcher in CM7 RC4.1
Started new thread for a specific question, but i can't delete this post.
Hi all,
I have been using Moto G2 since October 2014 a year ago I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CM 12 and now using CM 13. In the first few days, the performance of the phone is good but as days are passing the performance keeps on slowing down. I'm now using a 32gb sd card also I have moved most of the apps to sd card but still the problem persists.I clean the cache memory from the "Storage and USB" option in settings and have been using Ccleaner for a long time now but I see no improvements what should I do?
Should I switch to any other ROM or is there any app causing the problem?
Or should I revert back to stock ROM?
Problems I'm facing:--
1. Slow loading of settings
2. Apps becoming unresponsive(these were the apps which used to run smoothly).
3. If 5-6 apps are open the home screen takes 10-12 second to load all the shortcut icons.
And there are some other issues.
Pls help me out with this ASAP is anyone else facing the same issue?
Thanks for reading.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Hi! After years of suffering with 1 ghz mono core and 403mbs of RAM here are my tips:
What's causing all this is the low amount of RAM available on the Moto G in comparison to other devices. 1gb is really pushing the limits nowadays. So you'll have to compensate for that. The only way to do that is by making it so that you can't multi-task that well but the app you're on atm runs great.
1. Get Kernel Aduitor, go to Low RAM Killer and set it to aggressive. This should already make it a lot faster.
2. Reduce background activities by disabling unused sync operations. Go to Settings>Accounts and then check them all one by one and disable sync for whatever isn't needed.
3. Get a Custom Kernel. Always a good idea.
If this all doesn't help there is one last option. Go to Developer Options and scroll to the bottom. You will find some options for background activities. Set it so that it doesn't keep anything in memory.
If that doesn't help, then one of your apps is causing issues, start investigating.
Also ,you should remove CCleaner and also any task killing app. They cause issues and slow downs.
Best of luck!
Chris.
ehm, try this....
dismount SDcard, maybe its broken, reflash ROM, with full wipe, data, cache, system.
only flash rom and gapps, and try it without SDcard.

How to investigate which app is consuming a lot of CPU and RAM?
Which custom kernel is the best?
Which kernel would you suggest?
Thannks for the reply.
