[Q] Root question - Speed question - LG Optimus 2x

Hi
I have O2x and I'm wondering what you guys think about rooting ?
Should I root my phone?
For now I'm not sure if I want to chage the rom, but I want to speed up phone a little (cpu, memory & sd card).
Is this possible without new rom and only with root?
When I root, do I lose warranty?
I tested a little bit my speed.

Please give me your experience.
What are your test results and with what ROM ?
Thank you very much for your time guyz

Sure you can root your phone without flashing to a different rom..

What about other questions ?
tnx

I dont know, i didnt test the phone yet with Quadrant, and i really dont care how much it scores on a benchmark..
It's a phone for gods sake !
Oh and the rom question, i use stock V10A ROM
LauncherPro for launcher and a few widgets like ClockQ for time, thats all

If you root it you may install clockworkmod recovery and apply perfomance pack it makes the phone a bit smoother. I am using v10c with perfomance pack and its really good.

I tried this pack. It is giving a littke more speed.
What about overclocking?
Can you help me with this

Hi,
I definetely recommend you to root your phone. You can use pimp my cpu to OC/UV (overclock/undervoltage) your phone. You'll get better performance and better battery consumption.
And about warranty. You can always unroot your phone
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App

rooting i think is always a must, just flash the modaco rom and u wont see the changes, u will just notice the speed

In my opinion oc is not needed but it is your choice! But perfomance pack is compulsary to be applied over stock.

How to overclock it ?
I installed pimp my cpu but it says that I'm not using supported kernel.
I have stock rom installed.

you need ClockworkMod to flash a new kernel, don't ask me which
im still @ stock ROM/Kernel too

Anything else that can speed up phone?
Rooted-stock !

download root explorer, go to /system/app
remove some stuff like LGHome (install LauncherPro first)
remove SNS.apk
remove all widgets you dont use
remove FSecure Scanner.apk

You can just like that remove them??

Music Lags

Is there anyway to solve this problem? I dont remember that the whole phone lags when I am using the stock rom.. Is it because that that is in low memory and it's a Gingerbread rom?

Yes, gingerbread rom uses many memory, try to end useless process or use task killer.
Scale ur sdcard cache according to ur sdcard class speed.
And use overclock that suited you.

I had the same problem, the problem was the sd cache. I changed it to 512 KB and now music plays without lags.
Thanks...
One more question please..
What is the perfect sd cache for memory card class 4 (16gb)?
Sent from my W8 using Tapatalk
I have 16 gb class 6, 2048 KB and 1024 KB produce music lags. I find 512 KB optimum and can recommend this value. If you still have problems try a lower value. The minimum should be 128 KB, if you still have lags then try to close/uninstall some apps which run in background. OC is not necessary because music play-back needs only 245 MHz.
Thanks! I will change the sd cache tomorrow and report back. Bye..
Sent from my W8 using Tapatalk
Okay...
So I tested it. I changed the cache to 512. Then I reboot. The phone lags less when playing music, but still laggy. Anyway thanks. I am still searching for a way now...
Hit the THANKS button if I helped!!

LG P990 - slower and slower.

Been using LG P990 ( Gingerbread ) for nearly a year. Recently I noticed the phone
seems to slow down. Just to open the Message folder or Phone dialer
it takes 20 seconds.
I wonder if a hard reset is needed from time to time for Android phones.
Or it it due to too many applications ( over 100 ) being installed on the
device ?
I used Anti Virus scan, Memory boost and other tools to clean up the
memory. But of no use.
Appreciate any suggestions any of you may have.
Thanks
You don't need to hard reset, just find out what apps are messing up or using a lot of RAM. RAM is the key. Have at least 100mb free and phone is fast.
I had this problem. Used a ram optimiser then eventually had to hard reset as all interal memory used up. Works like a harm now and gps also working. At same time i upgraded battery to a gold one. Phones like this are not built to last... the solid state memory itself wears out..
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
Try Custom ROM.. usually has better memory management. or maybe supercharger will help
Ninjas are creeping into your room at night and underclocking it 200mhz at a time.
After 5 minutes of flashing Stock rom my 2x was already like a slow motioned grandparent, so I strongly suggest you a new rom.

I have used all sorts of RAM optimizers, memory boosters etc..still the result is only tentative. After a while some of the programs start by themselves and run in the background gobbling memory. I do wish there is some tangible solution to this problem as I am sure many others are also facing the same problem of slow response and low memory reserves.
Yeah I'm on CM7 Nightly and my gf is on stock galaxy s 2 and her phone is amzing quick and no lags or nothing.
My phone is meant to be souped up and it's really poor now :-(
Search for V6 Supercharger it really optimizes your memory usage.. If not helps then do a clean install of a more stabile rom.

Can't find V6 Anywhere in market?
because its not on the market. because its not an app.
you need to download terminal emulator (or script manager) from the market, then look up the v6 script here on xda (we have a port of it in o2x dev section somewhere) and just follow the instructions.

Search for zeppelinrox's thread here in XDA, download its latest version (PDF format), run script manager, choose the downloaded PDF file, run as root (skull icon), and follow the instructions. One of the most, if not the most important tweak released for android imo.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
I have stock V20Q with a Flix123 performance pack, no custom kernel no custom rom, and am very stisfied (smooth, efficient, no bugs).
I tested all the roms available in XDA dev (CM7, CM9 and custom stock) but no one is stable and full functions like the 20Q one. If you start with these roms and have probles is better that you give up.
You may update your rom and baseband using LG Mobile in your country.
In order to have better efficiency, I also freezed in Titanium backup some unused system applications (kit auto, google talk, f-secure antivirus, Email, backup, LG PC suite); no antivirus installed, installed only the used applications and not the nice to have ones, no application killer (android take care of freeing ram).
Ok I found it and followed instructions but got an AWK error message!
What do I do now?
Ta
Do you have Busybox installed? Did you run it as root? Cant think of other problems.. That's all you need.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Yeah i did and do.
Says can't determin the busybox version!
Reinstall Busybox, or try a different version of V6.. That's all I can think of. But if your phone is really messed up then I'd consider reinstalling it first. With a Titanium backup it would only take an hour. Still better than suffering from this.

flash a new rom. wipe the phone completely. its "healthy" to do so time from time imo

[Q] Noobish - CPU doesnt want to be controlled

Hi. I'm new to here.
I have rooted my Gnote, and i dont know wether it is a full root or what.
For maximizing my battery, i underclocked my Gnote by setting max CPU freq to 800 MHz or 1 GHz using SetCPU.
But.. according to the CPU history using No-Frills app, it written there it is still clocked to 1400 Mhz and 1200 MHz sometimes.
Is this a rom problem? Or kernel ?
Btw i'm using stock and SpeedMod k3-3 kernel.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
sometimes setcpu seems to not wanna start after a reboot so I really recommend you start the app and see everything is well in the app and see from there that your cpu frequency does not exceed the selected value. Otherwise I recommend using voltage control. I'm using it on speed mod and all is good for me.
Cheers.

Open super user and double check that its been granted permission. If so open your file manager and make sure you can access the data folder in root and set rw priveledges, make sure you have full root.

is there an app / rom / anything else that do it all automatically to ultimate?
i really new at all this so its like chinese to me, anyway i try my best : )
i have some questions about the devil tools :
in cpu, i see min cpu 400 MHz, max 1000 MHz, and also - oc value 100%, oc target low 800 mhz, oc target high 1400,
whats the diffrents? i thought i will see a button for just - normal / fast thats all ;D
and also i saw in the recovery > devil > performance 3 options : smooth, normal, power save
whats this? is this maybe what i wrote about " normal / fast" ?
i installed the autokiller memory optimizer and also the pro from the black mart (only the pro) , and it says to me that the licence not good.. do u have any ideas to fix it?

liveOC mean liveOverClock, u need it to force da cpu thru da limit, last limit was 1.4/1.5 so use at ur own risk, u may need it to play 3D games or hardmultitasking, juz pick one sort (120 or 140) n see if u got any hang or forceboot after applying, if fone reboot thats means it cant archieve it, lowering da OC will be da option.
juz pick one choice in recovery will automatically set da minfree value.
and for third question, we dont discuss warez here, so u need to think for urself
script tweak use binary n script created n placed inside init.d folder inside system to improved lagfree minvalue, sdtweak, wifi n much more, but i dont think u need it as u already choose devil kernel, using script tweak force u to close any tweak inside built in kernel tweak (sdread ahead for instance) so just ignore it.
da choice or option inside devilish recovery quite easy to understand, so no need for manual, juz read it mate

Hi,
First of all if your phone is rooted , try "greenify" , you can find it in the playstore . it will increase your games speed .
Try also to install a costume ROM (modified system) . try to choose a ROM for gaming . if you use an external SD card remove it , it make the device lagging ....
And remember to clear ram before run any game.
That's it

alaataj14 your adivice are messy and wrong so if you don't know what you're talking about please do not reply.
These are all the steps I think can make the Galaxy Ace a fairly good gaming device
1° step: Install a custom ROM that allows you to get better performance (CM 7.2 is perfect)
2° step: Install script (like FlyOn mod) to increase overall performance of the system
3° step: buy a class 10 sd card so the access to game data is superfast and reduce lag
4° step: use Seeder to reduce lag and Greenfy (works only on Android 4.0+) to freez all the apps running in background using ram and cpu
5° step (OPTIONAL): do some overclock to get a bit more performance out of your device (must be at least 100mhz to see a strong difference)
6° step (OPTIONAL): make a little partition (128/256 mb) for swapping with a low priority (30 is perfect) so if some android core process are running in back ground can be stored of that partition increasing the ram availability.
That's all
OK so i see a true gamer here
Fly on mod, Overglock just 928...
No money for SD card...
But i looking for the other steps, thank you very much bro
And i dont think that the PAC Rom is good anymore cause its lagging...u know? So thanks a lot

Seeder is already in the Fly On Mod script but must be enabled. Olso the user have a pair of sharp eyes so he can read trough the info about the script before using it.
