G1 slowness...normal?

Hey guys,
I'm making this thread because i'm not really happy with the speed of my phone, and i wanted to find out if it's just my phone or if everybody has the same issues.
I have a rooted phone with Cyanogenmod 4.0.4 and a Systemforce 3 theme installed. I even had it overclocked with one of the apps thinking it would increase performance. I do only have the stock 1GB sd card though, partitioned into 2 for app2sd, which i'm looking to upgrade soon.
Basically the issue is that if there are more than one or two apps running in the background (god forbid more than a couple of widgets) my phone starts to lag. I always have to go and kill processes to return it to a good speed. Going along those lines, it will also start chugging when music is playing, and even worse now with Pandora running in the background.
But the worst are the few times when i press home in an application and the phone just stalls for a about 5-10 seconds, with my widgets and icons disappeared and only my wallpaper showing......and then they all appear again.
Basically i'd like to know if this is the performance that all of you are experiencing, and if not what can i do to my phone to improve it. Thank you

try a wipe and try flashing without the theme

My son is set up exactly the same as yours, CM 4.0.4 and systemforce 3 using the 1 gig stock SDcard and he's not having any lag at all. He also has a ton of apps on his phone. I'm CM 4.0.4 using the neon theme but I have a 8g card class 6 (well worth the investment) got it from Amazon for about $25 after shipping. So yes wipe and reflash CM 4.0.4 is fast

Did that, it seems faster now, we'll see.
I definitely need a new SD card, its probably holding the phone back.
I don't wanna start a new thread but is there any way to control which apps start up with the phone, because a bunch of them start off right away and it slows the phone down. It's not that much of a hassle to turn them off one by one but it's be easier to just pick the ones i want beforehand.
Any app that does that?

Homescreen load time

Hey guys,
I've got a little problem for over a few months, so I thought why not ask it on XDA maybe all those smart guys know a solution!
Problem is that when i'm in a program (mail, music, sms, or any other app / game) and I press the home button, it always takes about 15 to 20 seconds before it's fully loaded. First after 3 seconds you see the blank background. Then the icons come back after like 13 seconds, then the widget(s) (i only have 2) and finally after some more seconds waiting it's all usable.
Well, it's a pretty annoying problem, everytime i have to look for something fast, I have to wait those 20 seconds. I can't find a solution, here is what i've already done:
1. It started with the CM 4.xxx roms so I wiped installed it again -> nope didn't work
2. Fully wiped everything including the ext partition and flashed Super D -> nope
3. Since CM 5 is out, wiped again and flashed CM5 -> nope...
The weird thing is, that when I freshly installed one of those roms, it seems to work but after a few app installs and phone useage, it starts lagging loading the home screen. And in 2 days it becomes worse untill every press is a looong load time!
I've got an Transcend 8GB Micro SD which is class 6 (should be enough). It was standard delivered with my T-Mobile G1. The ext partition is 457MB large (and there is 351 free space on it). Internal on the phone is now 21MB free. But even with 70 free it won't work...
I don't have swap enabled now with the new CM, but I did had it with Super D so that also doesn't seems to work. I've got Compcache enabled now. I REALLY don't know what to do... it just sucks that it takes so long to load, I hope anyone of you has a solution
Thanks!

Here is my approach:
In spare parts enable both comp cache (you indicated this is done) and launcher in memory.
The hope is launcher will not need to usually fully reload but can be compressed into the compcache when not is active use.
This applies to cm 4.2 and cm 5 on the dream.. every now and then the system will still kill the launcher if memory is tight so don't be shocked at it fully reloading from tike to time.. but usually it works out and keeps the phone very responsive.
Do not use swap.
(Well if desperate you can try 20-30mb but more than that will not work well with android memory management.. and even that small amount may do more damage to the SD card then actually help the system runtime.. I just don't use swap and attempt to back out of applications when done)

Thanks for the reply, i've done that and hope it will load a bit faster now I'll let u know!

Thanks it works great, my phone just feels so much faster now!

Video lags with bult-in Camera-App

Hi all,
right from the start i noticed lags when recording videos with the LGOB - I´ve used 10a at first but then did a reflash with 10.c German. I use Go Launcher EX.
After flashing it seemed the video lags have dissapeared with the freshly installed phone, but now after a while and after i reinstalled all my apps it´s still as laggy as before, no matter if i record HD or TV format.
To me it seems that some background process may interfere with the camera recording... i´ve tried to use Tasskiller to kill all apps before running the video app but it doesn´t help much.
Is that something you just have to live with on the LGOB or is there any hint to correct this? The generel video quility is very ppor to, especially on quick pans lots of blacks are visible in the video image.
Thanks,
Kusie

same here with 10b firmware. today i wanted to record some long jumps and it skips 3 4 secconds. so i have just the landing or just half of the jumps! ( maybe the speed of the sdcard is the problem? I'll try with a class 6 sdcard to see if the problem is solved or not! this is a serious BUG for me!!!

i dont have this issue and i dont see this issue being brought up anywhere... hmm try installing Nova Rom?

I have read several similar complaints about video skipping and lagging on LGOB... right now i don´t want to go through the whole reinstalling process again after switching from 10.a to 10.c and reinstall all my apps and settings, i think that this basic functionality should be OK in the stock Rom, too.

Hi guys i use to have similar prob on v10b but since i updated my phone to v10e eu open every thing is fine and yes even scrolling is better. Video prob is soft prob not hardware or sdcard.

I have video lags on 10e as well...

now my lgob is in service
for dead pixels or subpixles. aprox 5 pixels! i hope that they will change the screen or change the device with another one. ( so 1 or 2 weeks of waiting!

Has this been fixed??! I'm really pissed off! I tried to record a Taekwondo tournament and I missed the best parts because it's skipping! [email protected]#! HELP!

i don't have any problem....i have v10b and stock card 2gb

I have v10e firmware and Class10 card and no video issues. One of these helped, I assume 10e is that good.

The problem is with SD Card.... It doesn't have enough speed to "write" to sd card your video recording... The cache buffer gets full and it needs to "empty - write" to your card before it can record again...
For most of video recordings with this resolution you need a class 6 sd card - minimum!
Best choice... class 10!
Expensive... but it solves this problems!

i have the same problem with both v10a and v10c. now i changed for a class 10 , 16gb sd card, but the bug still remain; and it can't be cuz the quality of sd card, cuz i tested it and i have 13mb/s in write...

Thats weird!! I've tested this with v10a... and v10f and it works in here!
And... the problem you complain its usually caused by card speed as i said...
Sorry to hear that the problem still remains...

I use a class 10 16gb and nova rom and still lags (not like before)

Format the card with 32kb allocation size and try to restart the phone every time you take a bunch of pictures... That seems to solve the prob for me... To make things simple, I just reboot the phone everyday...

Maybe i solved it. I have installed sd card booster from market and set a value of 2048 as adviced , and now seem to be no lag at all...

[Q] Video Recording Freezes

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem, my OB seems to freeze 9 out 10 times I try to record something, everything's stock and I haven't changed anything, using adw launcher and whenever I press the record button, it freezes and the timer stays at 0.00 and about a minute later it would skip to 1.00 and the video would be recorded with major stutters and off sync sounds, I'd have to perform a battery pull sometimes as it does not respond to anything at all. Using a class 10 Transcend 16 GB sd and I have formatted the card through the phone but the problem's still there. The problem comes and goes and it seems to work best when I allow it to focus before recording but this does not work most of the time.
Edit: Only happens in 720p mode... Other than that, everything's fine...

Same thing also hapening on my device

Might be related to your actual SD card. Any chance you can get a spare card for a couple of days (even if it is a lower-class one) and try out the recording function? this way you could safely say if it is the card or the phone causing the issue (process of elimination)

Im having this problem too, and i use class 10 card

Try to upgrade the V10X version.

Figured something out, formatted my sd with SD formatter and recorded 3 720p 5 minute videos, smooth without stuttering... And the issue seems to be gone for now... Hope it stays this way... Also, back up any stuff in the card and once it's done formatting, take a pic to let android create the necessary files and copy everything apart from the files created... You can keep your apps and files this way... If you need to have pics in your phone, just put them anywhere but the DCIM folder... I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem at all but that's what I did... Hope this helps
XDA doesn't let me post outside links lol... New user here...
Just search for SD Formatter 3.0 from sdcard.org...

Redmi 9 3/32 - Questions

Hello. I have a question regarding my phone that is constantly running out of storage space and have to use cleaner almost daily. I would like to be able to install more games and other apps but I can't do that due to low internal storage space. I bought a sd card (32 GB) in the hope of installing or moving apps to It. Unfortunately I can't do either. I moved all other files to it but it's not enough.My phone is not rooted and no free program I have tried successed (thought rooting could help). Do I have to buy a new phone to get possibility of using more amount of apps or is there another way? If I have to buy a new phone, recommend me something please. I would like to get a phone with a comparable CPU and GPU or maybe better, at least 4GB+ and 64GB of internal storage or more. It has to be a budget phone but upgrade should be viable.

Hello, I'd like to asked to if you guys also experience this:
Whenever I try to maxxed out the volume and play something whether its a video or music, the phone just reboots right after.
Idk what happened but before I noticed those kind of stuff to happen in my Redmi 9. I just previously fixed it from bootloop w/o recovery & w/o fastboot due to downgrading from MIUI 13.0.5 CN ROM to MIUI 11.0.4 GLOBAL ROM.
So I was wondering whether it was a software issue or hardware issue in this case the battery. Idk if someone had ever tried this but I've watched a similar problem got fixed in youtube w/ Redmi Note 9 instead
with soldering or reheating the fuse within the battery.

Before, Android can still do that transfering apps + associated data to the sd card iirc it was Jellybean. Lol
But right now you can still do that but i think you need some root access correct me if im wrong. Though that is still not advisable cause accessing those apps would be much more slower or rather laggy than installing your apps within the internal storage.
One way to not run out internal storage is to transfer all "passive/static" files like photos/music/videos to your sdcard. The ones that are left for your internal storage should be the apps only that is if you want to install more apps in your device. Also you can set where the files should be saved everytime you take photo or video or download files, and set them to sdcard.
