I have it rooted with gingerbread 2.3.5 and i am not pleased.
my phone was slow. like making me mad slow. Its like my phone only wants to be fast a couple. I had launcher pro , go sms and go key board. But then i uninstalled all except launcher pro and removed all my widgets. and its a little faster but its still really sluggish. also my battery seems like it goes down pretty fast.
Should i download a new rom ? Im thinking of getting a new phone also. i was thinking about an iphone but not sure .
Wich 2.3.5 and kernel?
I have Jvs
Well I can't offer any help on a I9000 rom. Haven't been on one of them for a while. I would recommend you trying a native rom. But Have you tried reflashing that same rom you are on?
is it stock or the custom rom? I am running S_Bamboo rom based on JVT and talon kernel...its really really smooth, fast and decent battery....
Im on apex , and i have tried reflashing . Im going to try a different kernel
My captivate was running extremely slowly (almost unusable) when I was running Mosaic VII. It was so bad that I almost dished out ~$600 for a new phone (contract wasn't up yet). As a last effort, I decided to try out CyanogenMod 7. To my amazement, my captivate is suddenly extraordinarily fast and ridiculously usable! The data connection is actually fast (used to take about 7 minutes to update Pulse (news reader), and now it completes in under 4 seconds), GPS is still meh but better than previously, and the phone interface is very snappy.
If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly recommend CyanogenMod to see if that solves your issues. It saved me a buttload of money since now I don't need a new phone until my contract is up!

how is your battery life though? I personally have had the best luck with pinnacle.
CM and miui had awful battery, and i would often have to turn off and on the data (at least once a day).
this also was when i was using nightlies (maybe a month before the stable release came out) is there any difference in the rom now? Should i give it a shot again?

Battery life has gotten way better since then. Also it's faster and the new features are great

CM7 has been great for speed and battery life for me. Absolutely astonishing. I don't even care about the SGSII anymore.
PS If you try it, I suggest doing a complete restore, i.e. not using Titanium Backup as it seemed to slow things down for me.

Going to give it a shot when I get home.
I'm optimistic, but I really can't see how it can even come close to a kh3 ROM.
If I just leave my phone in standby, after 10 hours, it might only go down to 85-90 percent. Last time I tried cm, it would go down 5% an hour.
The last nightly I remember flashing was around build 100 or so. Have they fixed the proprietary driver issue that causes the bad battery life?
Should I go with glitch kernal? Or stick with stock? And what glitch should I go with if I do use glitch?
Fingers crossed that it works better this time!

My battery life is actually extremely better than it was with Mosaic (and previous ROMs). After a day (from 8 AM to 11 PM) of pretty heavy use (reading emails, Pulse news, non-stop texting, and web surfing), my battery is probably between 10-20% left. Obviously thats not a lot (definitely requires a charge every night), but compared to my 8 AM - 5 PM (completely dead) battery life previously, it is a substantial increase. I have found that it drops from 100% to 60% pretty damn quickly, but then hovers in the 50-60% range for a long time (playing a 3D game for 30 minutes made it drop from 90% to 75%, but on a different day, the same 3D game for 30 minutes went from 66% to 65%).
I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't do a backup and restore of your apps though....I'd reinstall each one again manually (you can restore the data to some apps if you want). Also, clear all caches and battery stats. Don't freak out if your battery dies to ~60% after an hour...it will stay around that percent for almost the entire day.
PS: On standby, this thing is a beast. From 8 PM to 11 AM (on standby completely while i was sleeping), it only lost 1% battery life. I don't use anything like Juice Defender or anything. Data was still enabled.
I've been using Serenity rc4.1, and about to flash rc5. Been fast, stable, and good battery life for me. Light use yielded me 1 day and about 17 hours on a charge. Haven't had any problems with wifi, gps, or really anything else. Good luck.
Well I'm on it right now and I like it better compared to apex. I can tell try hat my battery life is better. Does anyone know the best modem/ kernel that I can get for my phone

I use the stock kernel without any issues, but I've never tried any others. Modems are very geography dependent so it will take some trial and error. I am currently using UGKG3 with great success if you're looking for a starting point, and I've also had great luck with JJJV5, but YMMV.
Well, I'm writing from SGS2 right now, but I do have SGS too (my working phone no.), and I was not satisfied with with any stock (or/and) deoxed ROM I've tried (JVH,JVK,JVP,JVB, JVO,JVQ.....), because even fresh flashed or (and) tuned ROM felt sluggish to me. I've tried even few CM7nightlies, but I've been pushed away by some of it's aspects (it was fast, rock stable, but something around nightly #80, it wasn't mature yet for daily use). After a while on JVQ, I've finally decided to give that crappy chineese piece of **** a go...
Well, now I'm satisfied. MIUI ROM is based on CM7, so it's stable and fast, it can be configured to the bone, and with some gentle touch from MIUI team to the graphic design, it is best compromise between graphically advanced, but slow and unstable Samsung ROM and it's derivates, and superior rock stable and reliable CM7 which lacks any unified user friendly interface for all apps, and some details may not even work at all.

Hey Guys ... Did you look to the Ram status in the Galaxy Note ???
I have 600+/800 usage in normal situations !!! and when I clear ram it reached to 400+ which goes back to more than 600 Mb after moderate usage !!! what about in your Notes guys ??? Any solution for this ?? plz comments ....
What is it you are planning on doing with the free ram? Has the use of ram caused any problems? Don't worry about it and use the device. There is no point in trying to worry about something which is being used or not being used which is not affecting you in any way. Until it does have fun with the phone.
Do you think Android is running on air? The Note has 1GB RAM which the OS takes 200MB at boot. The rest is used by apps and other things. If you're not going to use the RAM, then why do you need it?
"My computer uses 50MB of RAM, And i have 32GB of it!" WHAT'S THE POINT?!
Try RAM Manager by Juwe. Be aware that the more memory you free up the worse multitasking will be.
Are you kidding me? Use RAM Manager when your device has 1GB of it? Please slap me as hard as you can.
This thread needs to be deleted.
RAM is there to be used.
I would use 100% of my RAM 100% of the time if I could. If it's not being used, it's being wasted.
Unused RAM is totally wasted. When 2GB devices come out OMG my device is using 1GB out of my 2GB!!!
To each his own, who are you to tell others what to do with their RAM? I'm not your typical "as much free memory as possible freak" but how comes that when I kill some apps before running something more intensive it's usually smoother and performs better?

600mb usage is totally normal on moderate use. Obviously you don't know how RAM Management work on Android. Go and replace your phone but nothing will change.

Would you replace your computer because it's using to much RAM?
Chances are you would find the RAM hog and keep it from starting up when not neccesary.
600mb is normal usage.... if you are not happy with that high of usage delete the apps that have services running or are always in the background. Android does this for you as you approach full RAM usage anyways though...

Yes, I've read about Android memory management quite a while ago. Very smart and very convincing. Now on the other hand - every now and then after some intense moments - let's say I'm driving and I'm using offline satnav then online satnav then there is a phonecall, then I make a voice note, I get out, send a text, use my GTD app and whatever else - after hours of such use when I get home, stretch my legs and I fancy to play let's say Galaxy on Fire 2, I find it smoother and less likely to crash if I just press "kill all apps" button in Task Manager. And since I installed RAM Manager I don't have to do it. And I haven't noticed any side effects that would interfere with my style of using my phone.
So guess what - I really don't give a **** about Android memory management and all expert opinions because I know what works for me and I'm happy with that state of things.

I posted in this thread beacuse another user complained about the problem that I came across and found solution to. It's certainly not the best one, but it's the one that works for me.
In the meantime I got ridiculed by more social-oriented users who need to accept and be accepted. To which I got upset and posted some crap. As a result I hijacked the thread. I apologize and shut up.

Memory usage
My daughter started a game where a photo is used in the programme, and I got the message "Free RAM low, resolution of photo reduced". Had to kill running services to be able to run it without the reduced resolution. Checked the overall Galaxy Note ram usage and just out of the box I have around 230mb free of RAM, I have an HTC Desire HD (768 ram) that has the same free and it is filled with running apps. When you get that kind of messages from a new phone, from some ****ty simple kid programme before I have even filled it up with stuff I get really annoyed. When I kill all I can i can get max up to 400mb.
Yup, TouchWiz is a greedy RAM eating whore. Wait for CM9 and then you'll see why custom UIs like TouchWiz and Sense is bull****.

What rom and set up do you have?
I'm also using go Launcher for home screen.
Tried this V6 thing and still doesn't appear any quicker although some of the options to select in the process didnt make much sense to me?
i was using go launcher ex, cm7 temaseks kang 91 and etana kernel version 1204021106 LOC DS version, but i changed to 1204021107 LOC LITE version few days ago (testing which gives better battery atm) but i have a profile set for the cpu to be max on 1Ghz (i tend to try and save battery ). also i have a 48 mb ramhack enabled
maybe your sd card is defective ? (im using class 4 8gb atm) because i had an sd card that was acting REALLYYY slow and after a while it just broke down.

Hello,
My mom uses a samsung galaxy ace and the battery life is super bad.
When she takes her phone to work around 07:00 its empty at around 13:00. All she does on work with her phone is using whatsapp. When shes at home she plays fruit ninja, lets say her battery is about 70% at that time. She plays for about 20 minutes and when she stops playing its on 17%. When I charge the phone after the game it goes from 17 to 54% in like 5 minutes, how the hell is this possible? Searched google and XDA but couldnt find anyone having the same problem...
We already replaced the battery for a new one, didnt solve anything and i also flashed a new stock rom for her, didnt help either
Hope someone can help me!
Thx !
you run lots of apps which runs in background ? or you have many widgets? It might one of the reasons

Yeah, the battery meter on the Ace is faulty. And this battery isn't meant to be used constantly otherwise you'll get a huge drain. You can't treat a mid range like a high end phone. Its only 1350mAh, to get the usage you need, you'll probably need around 2100mAh like the S3. There's no such battery for the Ace so you can't.
If she turns off 3G and uses Edge, it'll double the battery. Its the same thing, just connection is slower. Now if she takes gaming out of the equation, she'll get around 7+ hrs of battery. Realize I calculated that without any widgets that require background processes, no live wallpapers, and no other things besides the main app you're using.
Also try to flash a new rom with good battery(can only be done if phone I'd rooted though!) And try Battery calibration (after flashing a new rom)

i guess u need to replace ur battery

You need to replace your battery with a new battery. Your current battery is nearly-dying. Your phone and ROM are both ok! Don't worry about it.
Just replace the old battery with a good quality new one and you will be good for another few months.

Pretty sure everyone knows, and if you look at a changelog there was no mention of it being fixed: http://aosp.changelog.to/aosp-LRX22C-LRX22G.html
There are commits that fix a memory leak (https://github.com/Lethargy/android_frameworks_base/commit/da2133d046e59b590e51448eda31d710da217d40 and https://github.com/Lethargy/android_frameworks_base/commit/e30ccdbeac2c53b04a389c7ffd8e9d500c93ef30), however I do not experience such memory leak myself so I cannot say if it fixed the issue for others.

I'm not sure if those commits fix the memory leak that is widely experienced by some users. I only know it fixes "a" memory leak. Again, I did not experience a memory leak myself before merging those commits to my ROM source, so I can't comment on whether it helps or not.
Not sure if turning off animation will make a difference or not, but I don't think it will.

This memory leak obviously is not hitting every device, me and 2 of my buds are seeing this issue (system fills up RAM and handling the device becomes a struggle), while a fourth friend is not seeing it on his N5.
3 days ago i ditched the Google Now launcher and returned to Nova, and i think the problem is not that severe anymore, but i have to keep an eye on it for a bit longer to be able to say for sure.

How is this a memory leak? When more memory is needed, it will open up. Contrary to a long time "windows user" mentality, using memory is good. Especially on android. Why do people think using ram is bad? Using ram helps speed things up.
On a semi side note, after perusing computer forums for many years, I've seen many people get as much RAM as possible then try to get their systems to use as little as possible. It makes no sense. RAM is your friend. Use it.
I haven't had this 'memory leak' ever..even from 5.0.0
Yes using ram speeds things up but only when its being used for things like caching preloading and keeping apps in memory. Even then too little free ram can result in lots of paging when using multiple apps so the system tries to achieve a balance keeping some things in memory while having enough free to not cause paging. In this case people are reporting the opposite that after a few days the phone becomes slow and laggy and memory usage is very high even when they have no apps open so there is no swapping it paging going on. If it was just the is caching things it would just delete them to make room for the current app but that is not the case, the only explanation there fore is that something is leaking memory and consuming it till there is very little left for anything else. Also the os might not be managing memory properly but that seems unlikely as android has always been pretty good at memory management.

I'm thinking the highly modified ROM/kernel combination might have more of an effect on OPs free RAM than any "memory leak". Stocks working just fine. Still 1.3Gb free after games, forums, screen on/off, been on for three days, etc.

It has nothing to do with amount of free RAM. As shown in my pictures you can see 600 mb free ram, but phone starts shutting down apps. This happens on stock ROM without installing extra apps too by the way. Navigation and google music streaming quickly makes this happen it seems for me.
Duh, most of the changes for 5.0.2 were for Tegra N7.

How is this a memory leak? When more memory is needed, it will open up. Contrary to a long time "windows user" mentality, using memory is good. Especially on android. Why do people think using ram is bad? Using ram helps speed things up.
On a semi side note, after perusing computer forums for many years, I've seen many people get as much RAM as possible then try to get their systems to use as little as possible. It makes no sense. RAM is your friend. Use it.

It's not the usage of RAM the issue, I think it's more about RAM management, if bigger apps need more RAM let them take it up. But the issues arises when the OS does not release the memory take up by the previous app back into the pool, so then each time we take the same program it takes more and more of the space until other apps cannot access it easily. Presto launcher redraws or apps fc's(or not even running or abruptly stopping the background music playback service) in phones, and whole system freeze or "hang" of the OS in desktop environments.
