Which lines should be edited?
Or are there lines which should be added? (if it is even possible...)
The only line i've found, which could/should most likely be edited, is the dalvik.vm.heapsize. Which value do you use for it?
I'm running on stock froyo 2.2.2
Thanks!!
Use either 24 or 32, depends if you plan on running large apps or prefer to have a smooth home and never runs apps that need a lot of ressource.
Actually what I remembered was that the Heapsize was deciding how much could an app use before the Android system would do his "clean" so setting to 24 would give you a smoother overall use but you may lag or f/c when running big applications and settings it to 32 would somehow drain a bit more battery and maybe a less smoother home even if I doubt you can really see the difference.
Anw I think the best setting is 32.
Just tried it with 32M. In quadrant and speedpi there is no in- or decrase of performance.
Subjectively the system (like the drawer) feels a lil bit smoother.
A big benefit is the quick switching between (big) apps. Just launched angry birds, pressed the home-button and opened the browser. After a while i relaunched angry birds and it was that damn fast open.
Regarding to what you said about battery life:
Are you sure, that a bigger heap is consuming more juice? As the garbage collection has to run less often.
just my 2 cents.
any other ideas welcome

So are you looking for a better/faster benchmark?
I'm just looking for the best overall experience (as for longest battery life).

So the gaming is bad huh?
pros:
battery life
tegra chip
ram(1gb but at s3, it's 700mb!)
hd ips screen
cons:
get warm when using 4 cpus
slow charging time
it's big for me, standard is iphone5 size

Very Happy Now we have unlocked BL
I came from HOX as well
There isn't a lot of difference really, screen is a bit better on LG and I like the design more. Feels like a premium quality phone to hold.
We Need More Devs though!!!
Gaming will be just like HOX, depends on the kernel and also optimisation of the game ie crappy Gameloft coding
In general, yes but I would like to see much better battery life - especially sleep. My GTab 7.7 can idle for up to 20 days but this phone can only idle for 2 days. Sure, different battery size and all that but it still should hit 4-5 days of pure idle.
I'd also like to see less heat and another thing that can't be helped is that the screen (when tapping stuff) doesn't feel as solid. I feels a bit hollow when you touch the screen when typing but it is accurate and quick so it's not a bug deal.

not so happy
Hi, 3 days ago I bought my Optimus 4x and I'm kinda sad for a few questions.
I'm using the latest version of the Rom (original jelly bean) and I saw that the unit gets hot and the battery is not have a good performance. I tested the battery with Antutu battery tester and came to drop 1% every minute.
I really want to find a solution to my problem. I'm thinking of selling my phone and buy a Galaxy S3.
Sorry for my bad english.

I am absolutely happy with this phone .. It has many advantages more than disadvantages .. Thanks LG for this great phone
LG 4x HD its Amazing
Hi all, i'm happy with this phone, i had a SIII but verizon version... no luck with GSM Networks (3g) in Mexico... now i have 4ox with bootloader unlock and CM 10.1 4.2.2 then its amazing... very fast.. still needs development but i think that's come alone in a few months.... gaming no bad and 3g its great...
for me not really , because of battery drain 1% 1 hour in idle, \
i have try to delete all unused app and disable fastdormancy and disable auto configure mms setting event
what i see is the stock developer is bad
talking about stock rom ..
as far as i changing many region rom, the best is open Europe the gsm and data signal are more stable then asia rom
but all stock rom are drain battery 1% in 1 hour in idle mode,
anyone have same problem ?

..I had my 4x run 11 days on mostly idle to get to the yellow line once. That's with contact to the mobile network. When the battery on the 4x is less than half the size of that in the tab7. 5100mAh vs. 2100mAh or so.
But yeah, you're right. LG just hasn't optimized the device all that well. And on a stock setup, with the standard apps (that will keep preventing the phone from dropping to idle speeds), you'll be lucky to get over 2 days on standby.
Pros:
- Very clear, sharp and big 720p IPS screen
- Battery (at least for me)
- Shape (it fits in hand really nice)
- SD card slot (up to 64gb) unlike HOX for example
- 1 GB ram
- Tegra 3 quad processor (plays 1080p HD videos without problems, great for multitasking, nice performance also in games with some tweaks etc.)
- Solid 8MP camera and 1080p recording
- Unlockable Bootloader + CM support and also other devs are starting to work on our phone now :victory:
- Nice price/performance ratio IMHO (I bought mine for 250€ which I think is kind of cheap for a phone with such specs)
- Removable battery
Cons:
- Heating (Tegra 3 is based on 40 nm technology)
- Needs some tweaking for gaming (mostly for more high end games)
- A bit long charging time
So with 1 word, YES I am a happy and proud owner of this phone.
Hey XDA-ers!
BCVictory here! (Call me Bailey, my real name, if you want)
Ever since our beloved Nexus 7 came out there has been claims of people having problems with lag.
Especially since 4.2, the claim has gotten even more traction and it's more of an issue.
I'm here with some things you can do that may help fix/stop the lag.
But first, what is lag?
Lag is: Fall behind in movement, progress, or development; not keep pace with another or others.
So in Android the definition of that could mean: Falling behind in frame rate, not keeping up with or detecting your finger and not 'buttery' or 'smooth' (microstutters)
So now we know what lag is here is a few ways that people claim it stops/reduces the lag.
THIS ALL COULD BE PLACEBO!
ANDROID SETTINGS
Go into Settings
Under the System heading, go into 'About Tablet'
Tap 7 times on the Build Number
You should see Developer Options appear
In Developer Options
Turn these options on:
Disable HW Overlays
Force GPU Rendering
And change these options to either off or 0.5x
Window Animation Scale
Transition Animation Scale
Animator Duration Scale
APPS
Seeder
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en
This app claims to:
Assist the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it with data from the non-blocking (high performance) random device. Optionally, it can also help alleviate MMC I/O contention by extending the I/O queue, allowing the I/O scheduler to make better decisions, and combine more writes.
On some devices, applications load significantly faster (particularly large ones like Facebook, Chrome, and Youtube), and task switching becomes effortless. Fewer visual "hiccups" occur.
Alot of the media and devs have said this app does not work but it does make this note:
This app does not increase raw performance, but rather eliminates some types of annoying lag (ie. applications briefly freezing, jerky scrolling, delays returning to the home screen, etc).
LagFix
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix
LagFix is a user-friendly implementation of fstrim utility. It allows you to select which partitions to trim (you should leave defaults unless you know what you are doing) and run the process easily.
Forever Gone
This app will fill your SD Card with many blank files(*.blank), then delete all of the *.blank files.
One of the main 'fixes' people say to fix the N7 lag is to delete some files to make sure the storage has at least 2GB's free.
This app has helped fix lag that relates to this problem without having to delete those files.
Greenify
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from lagging and battery leeching, in an unique way!
This app helps reduce the amount of rouge apps in the background and save RAM. It's not like a normal Task Manager, It does it automatically.
Pimp My Rom
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.pimpmyrom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269
Pimp My Rom is an app that will allow you to choose between a plethora of tweaks, mods, hacks, features and apps to modify and improve your current rom. Pimp My Rom gives you alot of options to enable speed and battery saving tweaks therefore theoretically reducing lag.
FLASHABLE MODS / INIT.D SCRIPTS
Crossbreeder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150
This is a new take at Android lag reduction. It's lightweight and won't consume battery. Users have reported drastic improvements in usability and even benchmark scores. It will show noticeable improvements on all Android devices from Donut to Froyo to Gingerbread to Honeycomb to ICS and Jellybean.
This is a combination of 5 different methodologies to reduce Android lag.
1. Removal of DNS lag
2. Change wakeup threshold kernel parameters so read blocks are released instantly and writes never wake up as we have an external entropy generator.
3. Modulate OS entropy levels for lag reduction. (Just like Seeder)
4. Remove /dev/random as it's blocking
5. Frandom support
Mitsuyoshi EXT4 Mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280496
This removes the journal from all EXT4 partitions. This gives (on average) a 25% increase in system speed (due to the increased I/O rate)
V6 Supercharger
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
This claims to: Makes your phone/tablet FAST... super snappy with better multitasking! It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values. So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX! NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why? Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Jay's Recipe for Buttery Goodness
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946347
The script remounts /data and /cache with discard and noauto_da_alloc, disables fsync, enables a 128mb zRAM and set-ups a good, stable starting point for further modification. The result is a stable, considerably smoother multitasking powerhouse with overall better power management and performance.
INSTALL/CHANGE KERNEL - OVERCLOCKING
If you are running stock kernel or another kernel, it might be a good idea to try a new one.
One of these benefits is to overclock the CPU and/or GPU.
For my guide to the 'best' kernels for the Nexus 7 click here: N7 'Best' Kernel? (Performance & Battery Tests)
CHANGE LAUNCHER
If your launcher is the only thing that is lagging you might want to change it. There is a guide to the smoothest launchers at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899350
CHANGE ROM
If none of these tweaks aren't working or aren't enough for you, one of the last options is to change your ROM. There are lots of options out there so have a look around the Android Development and Original Development sections.
My personal favourites are Paranoid Android, P.A.C- Man, RasbeanJelly & SaberMod.
DOWNGRADE TO 4.1.x
If all of the above is not working try some of the older roms that use 4.1.x as their base.
WIPE EVERYTHING AND START FRESH
If absolutely nothing above works then it might be best to wipe everything and install a clean rom.
If any of these steps worked or didn't work for you, please vote in the poll above and also post below what did so you can help others.
If you find anything that helps or doesn't help reduce lag, please post it below.
If you found this helpful, give this post a thanks and give the people who made these tweaks a thanks too.

This guide is for people who don't know much about changing kernel settings, etc. Experienced members should leave now.
All flaming will be ignored.
Please, for anyone who will complain that there's no point in disabling everything that makes your smartphone smart, please leave now.
NOTE: Just because I hit 6 hours screen time on average, doesn't guarantee you will. Everyone's phones are different. And how we use them is different too. This is just a thread containing guidelines to help you get the most battery.
Please note that performance may be affected.
Your ROM shouldn't matter too much. But I personally use AXI0M.
Kernel: This matters a lot. I personally use Air Kernel #10, the O2 version. This yields the best battery for me. If you use a different kernel, please don't complain that this guide doesn't have the desired results.
--------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
All of these settings are optional but will help a lot.
Sync - off.
Screen brightness - 50% or less.
Wifi - on. 3g uses more battery.
NFC - off.
Use 2g networks only - on.
Auto rotate - off.
--------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
--------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
These settings, again are optional, but highly recommended. Please don't complain about this guide if you don't use these settings.
Governor: Wheatley
Minimum frequency: 286Mhz
Maximum Frequency: 1.118Ghz
GPU Maximum frequency: 400
Hotplug control/Maximum online CPUs - 2, minimum online CPUs - 1.
Undervolt: This is up to you. Find what is stable for your device. I don't undervolt at all.
All other settings should be left as default.
--------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------
That's it. Give it 2-3 charging cycles or a few days for the settings to settle. And then you should get optimum battery results with minimum effects on your performance.

Basically you are downgrading the performance of the Phone by under-clocking the CPU.
What would be more beneficial is to find a way where we don't have to sacrifice the performance of the phone for Battery life.
Stock rom and faux stock enhanced kernel gives me the best performance and Battery life.
It also helps to hibernate the rouge apps that are constantly waking the phone during deep sleep by using Greeninfy app.

Click to collapse
In any case, here's some general guidelines:
- Undervolting, Underclocking, and disabling cores make the device use less power
- Lowering brightness makes the device use less power
- Turning off wireless signals makes the device use less power
- Using lesser signals (2G Cellular, 2.4GHz WiFi) makes the device use less power
- Having higher signal strength makes the device use less processing power, and thus, use less power
Most of that is just common knowledge though, maybe aside from the lesser signals thing. I don't really see anything in this guide as anything significant. It's basically saying "restrict your device's processing power for more battery", which is pretty much true for... anything.
Edit: As for the kernel, I can't think of any significant difference this would make either. Still uses the same drivers and same Linux kernel base, and most kernels have the same optimizations. Only things I can think of that would make a difference is if it came pre-UV'd or implemented a longer WiFi scan interval.
Edit: Somehow I failed to read the very first sentence (or skimmed over it completely, idk)... I should've just left
I never understood the cripple and downgrade your phone for battery thing but whatever floats your boat I guess.

**** yeah, disable two cores and get better battery life. Using airplane mode helps even more

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I can get 4.5 to 5.5 hours of screen on time (browsing, whatsapp, hangouts, some gaming) using auto-brightness, WiFi throughout, and a good signal zone without crippling the phone so such an extent. Getting 6 hours of screen on time is great....but if it isn't doing anything when you're not using it....not sure why you need a smartphone.
Actually, I found the that the phone is still pretty snappy when you turn off two of the cores...I don't think you have to lower all the way to 1.118, maybe 1.3 or 1.25 should be sufficient enough plus some undervolting. Screen brightness more than anything is the biggest factor though IMHO. Hope you guys get some good results.
Brightness alone makes up for almost everyone's battery issues.

Honestly do not see the point in disabling everything that makes a smart phone.. well smart.. but I guess it's a good guide for people that just want their phone to last.
can anyone tell me what they are using to test out how stable the phone is when undervolting? What guide lines are there, what is a good indicator that the amount you under volt still leaves stability?

Oh ok.
Then could u suggest me a tweak like loopy or cosmic for XZ?
I've applied pretty much all the basic build.prop and init.d tweaks looking for something to speed up my XZ a bit more.
PS: I see all these tweaks in phone specific forums, why isn't anyone doing it for XZ
I just looked briefly through those mods and for me most of them are just placebo's. Since ICS most of the build.prop tweaks are just placebo's that will either work or not work depending how Android is compiled. And if they 'work' most of them just doesn't do anything. For instance, there was build.prop tweak in there to enable 3G or HSPA, but those are already enabled by default. This build.prop tweak will only show the difference between those speeds with a notification bar icon. Also the wifi tweaks can break a stable connection to your ap.
Just remmeber this; if a tweak is that good and stable enough, why wouldn't a developer at Sony or another company implement it in the stock rom? Do you think they want to only screw with you and your device? Making it slower on purpose? And why didn't CM include those tweaks? Because it's just a placebo. Both of them will (try) release the most stable and fast solution there is and not screw with you or your phone.

This build.prop tweak will only show the difference between those speeds with a notification bar icon. Also the wifi tweaks can break a stable connection to your ap.
Just remmeber this; if a tweak is that good and stable enough, why wouldn't a developer at Sony or another company implement it in the stock rom? Do you think they want to only screw with you and your device? Making it slower on purpose? And why didn't CM include those tweaks? Because it's just a placebo. Both of them will (try) release the most stable and fast solution there is and not screw with you or your phone.

Ya i had that feeling too that's y i went through a lot of threads about these tweaks before implementing them, but i have to say few of them did work wonders and increased smoothness and battery life. Like these:
Build.prop-
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
Thats y i'm not skeptical anymore and want to squeeze out how much ever i can out of XZ. So i ask if anyone knows any good tweaks compatible with XZ?

Thanks I've added those to build.prop already
pm.sleep_mode=1 - enables deep sleep when idle
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0 - switches off the cpu cores when idle,there are 4 other modes (1,2,3,4,5) each has different ways to switch off the cores 0 is the most battery friendly as it does it asap.
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1- locks launcher in memory
debug.performance.tuning=1 - improves touch responsiveness
video.accelerate.hw=1- smooth video playback
there are a lots more http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29627835
This is an excellent resource for build.prop tweaks that debunks almost all the myths regarding the tweaks people put in them: http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-build-prop-tweaks-for-android-ics-a-comprehensive-guide-part-1/ and http://www.jeffmixon.com/examining-build-prop-tweaks-android-ics-comprehensive-guide-part-2/.

Sorry but you're pretty much wrong on everyone of those..
Pm sleep mode hadn't worked since gingerbread
Ril is radio interface layer. That hack was supposed to enable a low power mode for radio. It never worked.
Home app was discontinued in ics
Debug the modern version is already in build prop
As is video accelerate
So they are just placebo

I've already come across those articles when i was searching around, after reading through a lot of such blogs i went ahead and decided to test the tweaks.
Placebo or whatever it may be i did see a difference and most importantly they didn't seem to cause any problems so whats the harm.
I have to mention one thing though, as i found a lot of articles against the working of build.prop tweaks i couldn't manage to find anything against init.d ones so does that mean those tweaks work ?
No. Just because they are in a different place doesn't mean they are going to work.. This is not magic... this isn't apple...
We have source code it's very easy to find out what could and couldn't work...

Let me sell you my range of magic butterfly badges, artfully curved and imbued with all manner of secrets unknown to most.
people swear they make a difference, others don't see anything, but hey they don't hurt(unless of course you stab yourself in frustration with them repeatedly, after prolonged exposure to the sheer stupidity exhibited by most of the human race).
I'm calling them plah_sae_bows.
If there is *no code* to do respond to these calls you are putting in , then they can't make any difference.
Do you know a few years ago some of us made some of these up?
Completely fictitious and people still insisted that made a difference?
ro.bollocks.enable.large =true
That one really make your device go into 'hero mode' a hitherto undocumented mode that increases speed. Saves lives and give you wings ..
