Lag on phone - LG Revolution

I've been noticing lately since flashing gingervolt 2.0 that i get lag quite a bit when playing games even simple ones like angry birds or world of goo as well as just when im scrolling between homescreens or opening or using apps. When I had gingervolt 1.3 with the supercharger script running my phone ran even faster then stock. Like it should. Especially after using setcpu to overclock it to 1.5ghz. Anyone else experience this or have a solution

Did you reinstall the supercharger script?

I have the blitzkreig script running cause it comes with GingerVolt 2.0 and so I wasn't sure if they will run together and I don't know how to remove just the blitzkreig script without removing GV 2.0 all together

Just run 1.5 ghz, it fixes aloot for me.

I am currently running at 1.5ghz actually, cause it seems to be the best balance between Speed and Battery-Life.
If anyone can tell me how to remove the blitzkrieg script itself without having to remove GV 2.0, that would be great. Also, if someone could let me kno if the SuperCharger script will play nice with the Blitzkrieg script, so that way i can just run em both, that would be cool too.

If you want to get rid of the blitz kernel just look in the dev section for the stock kernel. I can't comment on the supercharger because I refuse to use it.

I just don't get why angry birds and world of goo are laging on me. My droid 2 global played em just fine. I think that there just has to be too much taking up my system resources and making my phone run slow cause those games should run smooth on my phone. Especially if I set the CPU @ 1.9ghz (I normally run it @ 1.5ghz) whatever it is its annoying the hell outta me and I want to get to the bottom of it so I can get back to enjoying games on my phone.

I'm running 1.3 with supercharger script (I believe?) because I have been monitoring the 2.0 thread, and some things stood out for me as potential red flags. Saying that, I purchased "Bejeweled" and it plays brilliantly for about 20 minutes before it turns into the ultimate lag fest. It actually makes my phone look like it's locked up, and the phone produces heat at higher levels than normal.
Most of my racing games hiccup in strange places as well, making them near unplayable (which means I have never tested them up to the 20 minute mark).
Something is definitely off, and I wouldn't be afraid to blame this on the device itself. Heat and response times of this CPU seem to be hit or miss, but so far, on anything semi-strenuous, it appears to be mostly miss.
Anyone else have a different experience? If so, what are you running?

Well when I was playing games on this phone when it was just stock rooted it ran fine and when I has GV 1.3 flashed it ran fine. But ever since flashing GV 2.0 with the blitkrieg kernel it has started lagging out randomly. Its not constant but its more so then it should be. Like I said. When I had GV 1.3 installed. It played games perfectly smooth and when I was jst stock rooted and stock un-rooted it ran perfectly smooth as well. And like I said I'm my last post. I think part of it is I just have s lot of widgets and apps running so they are taking a lot of my system resources up and not leaving much memory for running games and what not. Therefore causing it to lag off and on

I personally have played just about every kind of game on my revo with no issues.
Duke Nukem
Brothers In Arms
Gang star
Fruit Ninja
Assassins Creed
Tiki Golf
Tiki Cart
Baseball Superstars
I know there are more but can't think of them right now. Some of them might have been a little slow when loading but never lagged during game play.

Is my Nexus One slow?

Hi,
I'm having my Nexus One for about two weeks now and I already started a thread about the choppy scrolling between homescreens but now I want to know if there are other people that find their Nexus One slow and if they were able to make it faster in any way.
When I bought this phone I thought android would 'fly' on it cause I already had a HTC Magic and that went reasonably fast. But everything I'm using on my Nexus One feels choppy and not fluent as I expected/want it to be. For example when you start the browser or any other program you get this zoom animation which is nice but it doesn't go fluent, it goes choppy like you would play a videogame with 5 FPS.
And as I already mentioned the same counts for the launcher, it's just not fluent and doesn't feel fast at all.
I've tested different rom's, froyo, etc. but nothing seems to make it right so now I'm wondering if there are people that have the same issue's? Is it normal that the Nexus One isn't super fast to use or is there something wrong with my phone and should I return it?
i think something is wrong. especially with froyo the phone is ultra-fast.
Try Linpack and some other benchmarks and post the results.
Or try osmonitor for example and see what the cpu speed does, perhaps it is stuck @ 245 mhz for some reason lol
Ok, my score in Linpack is 6844 (MFLOPS). Don't know if that's good or bad. In BencmarkPi my Nexus One calculates Pi in 2842 miliseconds. And in Neocore I get 26.4 FPS which seems pretty normal to me.
I don't think my problems are hardware related, it more feels like it's the software.
Ow and I ran OSmonitor now and there's something strange. It says Memory Total: 217.440K Free: 67.500K
Is this a known bug or should it say 512MB?

your using eclair without a highmem kernel, thats why it only shows that much RAM. What roms have you tried? Try cyanogens or even stock froyo and see how the speed improves. I think you may be feeling its slow because of the extra animations that werent present during 1.6 which is what the MT3G is on

But the kernel thing doesn't affect the speed? I believe stock Froyo is one of the best I've tried so far. I tried cyanogen too, 5.0.7 I believe, but the launcher was extremely slow on that one.
Or am I flashing my roms the wrong way so things don't run smooth? I just download the .zip files, put them on my sd card, boot into recovery, whipe and flash. Normally it should work that way I believe.
And on my HTC Magic I was using a rom with Sense UI that worked very smooth. Maybe I should try the Desire ports but I like the stock Nexus One UI better.
Also I can't understand why there are developers OC'en the Nexus One? If it's really that fast already why would you risk that you're phone dies quicker for that extra performance?
And I don't hate animations, I even like them, but not if they are choppy.

the kernel is actually the primary factor when it comes to speed. how the kernel manages actions on the phone is the deciding factor on what makes it run fast. you can have a very fast phone hardwarewise, but if the kernel is designed poorly, the phone will run slow as well. Using a kernel that does not have highmem enabled means your probably running an older kernel that does not have updates for speed. the latest froyo kernel has highmem and JIT enabled for faster application use as well as over smoother feel.
i love the animations as well
im coming from the G1 and i havent had any of the of the problems you seem to be having. you are flashing the roms correctly (unless there are additional things such as google apps you need, idk whats the procedure on that for the nexus) Im running fully stock with froyo FRF72.
I would imagine that Desire would be SLOWER than stock android not faster. However the animations may be better optimized. I only used sense on the G1 and it was slow as heck on there (i would have used it all the time otherwise) The main reason that things look so choppy is because rendering is not handled by the GPU, rather the CPU. This puts more strain on the CPU than should be necessary.
I don't get why they OC the CPU either. Seriously, 1gHz is fast for a PHONE. I can understand why when the phone starts getting dated why you would....but its not gonna be dated till at least Q4 2010 when the 1.2-2gHz snapdragons are coming out.
Qualcomm will have a 1.5gHz ready for new phones this year. DUAL-CORE

As for the problem. Sounds weird. Try LauncherPro for a test. That is smooth launcher that flows like butter. If that is choppy then there is something seriously fu-bar going on with yer phone
I've flashed the stock froyo FRF50 now and till now it looks a lot better. OS manager now shows a total of 400MB memory. Is this the normal amount it should show? Or should I be looking for another kernel for froyo? And what is the difference between froyo FRF50 and FRF72?

so is your nexus smooth and fluid now? because mine is very smooth swiping the homescreens. using launcher pro. no choppiness at all.
Stock launchers to me are kinda choppy too. And that was my only complain with the nexus. Like the previous posters advised, try launcher pro and adwlauncher, tweak the settings to your liking and you'll see the difference. As far as kernel for froyo try pershoots kernel, it seems to be very smooth and speedy.

Minor suggestion - install ADW.Launcher (you'll have to tweak the settings a bit to make it nice) or Launcher Pro (works great as is) with your Froyo ROM. You'll thank me for it. The stock launcher scrolling is choppy - always has been, never was really fixed in Froyo (at least as of FRF50 - I haven't even bothered trying it with FRF72).

Anyone using snesoid or nesoid?

I have tried both and even at 768 MHz with JIT disabled or enabled, I get massive lag playing any game only while pressing something on the virtual keyboard. If I don't press any buttons, games look like they run very smoothly, sound and all. But of course to play any game, you need to be holding one of the controls constantly. As soon as I press or hold any virtual key, my frame rate drops so much it becomes unplayable. I tried disabling haptic feedback on the virtual keypad, no effect.
I tried Super Mario World (snesoid), Donkey Kong Country (snesoid), and Super Mario Bros. 3 (nesoid)...
I just want to know if I'm the only one having these lag issues.
If anyone asks: yes, I own these original cartridges
I also had lag on the nesoid. Couldn't really play anything. I have tried all different settings and still had lag

Bleh, and I've read that people don't have any lag with G1 (might be thanks to hardware keyboard) or Cliq XT (has no hardware keyboard, and same processor as us!)...
i've tried all of the hero's 2.1 and 2.2 roms and hve had snesoid/nesoid/gensoid/supergnes and they run fine on all the roms i've tried. currently im running zenhero and same thing, no lag whatsoever. i have not messed with any settings. just installed and played. also, im using the stock kernel for the sense roms. i noticed that whenevr you use a custom kernel and OC a sense rom than the lag on games is unbareable! that may be yalls problem. i always use "caligo chaser" for testing the lag on games. runs flwlessly on sense roms with stock kernel. but as soon as i flash a custom kernel....lag from hell!! anyways.... thats my 2 cents, hope thats helps you guys out
Hey, can anyone verfy that? If thats true then ill nand back to my non-oc'd rom.

download the caligo chaser demo and try playing it. if your on an OC'd sense rom then it should be laggy. if so then make another nandroid (just incase) and then nandroid back to your non OC'd rom and play the caligo chaser demo. $100 it will run almost perfect on the non OC'd rom
OK, so hang on... is what you're saying about custom kernel and OC only relevant to Sense ROMs? This is what I got from your posts...
A) If You have a Sense ROM, you need to run the original kernel. Hmm I actually wonder if this kernel would work, since it is built from the HTC Hero kernel source
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750170
B) AOSP ROM should not lag in general
Is this right?
WOW thanks for the advice, cp0020!!!
Indeed after I flashed the kernel I posted above, almost all lag was gone, even during multitouch button pressing... thanks so much!!

lol no problem man. did you use caligo chaser to test it on? it should run damn near perfect on sense with stock kernel. and the lagginess crap is kinda weird, no lag with caligo chaser on the DD 2.7 and darch's froyo, which are OC'd by default. but when i flashed the blackmod theme the games(caligo chaser) was laggy again, just by applying the theme it made the games laggy. so its just kinda retarted. so whenever i flash a rom, i just stick with whatever kernel came with it
I can also confirm that using ZenKernel the lag on nesoid is gone.
I had this problem too on Fresh Rom, but now I switched to Zenhero and it runs great, I still get minimum lag though. =(

Maybe you know what I have to with my HTC Magic (Rogers Sense 2.1) to play a nesoid etc. without lags? Is there any ZenKernel-like for Magic?

What is the fastest ROM?

I am getting annoyed with the speed of my Sprint Hero. the lag on the dialer is really annoying me, I hit dial and wait 5-10 seconds before the phone actually dials then it does the stupid vibrate after the call is ringing already.
Sometimes I think i did not hit the call button so i hit it again, and nothing happens for a while then suddenly I get 2 calls going at the same time to the same person.
I am rooted and running a 2.1ROM but I forgot which one, but it doesnt have any special features besides the super user app and htc sense.
Im willing to settle for something with out sense as long as it speeds up the phone.
I am even considering if its possible to unroot and to whatever 2.1 version sprint has out now and hope it fixes things.
Please let me know which ROM I should try, I dont care about sense, live wallpapers, special animations, just make the phone quicker.
cyanogen 2.2 mod is the best...overclock it to 768
Well, I assure you that using stock 2.1 will *not* fix your problems, especially lag issues. Better to stick to modded ROMs, to be honest.
After trying a few ROMs, I came to love ZenEXP. And with the 0.9.7 release that just came out, it seems like things have gotten even faster. You're rooted, so... do a nand backup, and give it a shot. Try Cyanogen too, as the last person said.

Please note that not every Hero will tolerate 768 on the processor. Really, seems only a select few can run it without stability issues. Mine will freeze instantly if set any higher than 710. This is why the new CM6 is clocked at 691, so everyone can boot it, and so it is rock solid. If you can get 768, then you are one of the lucky ones!

The app that you use to manage your OC speed doesn't determine how fast your processor will actually run, it's all based on the kernel embedded (or flashed) onto your phone. If you're running stock 2.1 then SetCPU will only show your max speed as 528mhz because that's how fast the stock kernel is. Other ROMs like DarchDroid and CM6 have kernels that boost the max speed to over 700mhz. If you install one of those then you'll see massive speed improvements to your phone and with SetCPU you can either leave the kernel to allow for maximum speed or you can throttle it down if your phone becomes unstable and can't handle it.

Wow, thanks for the tip. I'm running the stock 2.1 atm because I haven't found a rom that combines both live wallpapers and multitouch yet. I play games on my phone often, probably too often, and I have to be able to use two fingers. The live wallpaper thing is just because I think it looks really cool, especially that mario one.

Best overall experience performance/game/battery-wise is Eclair (2.1) for sure. If you don't mind loosing some features on GMAPS and not getting the latest GMAIL client. But you need a good sd-card and sd-ext or just not use much apps on the phone, as eclair doesn't support app2sd natively. Ah, good old time where I could play Angry Birds, pause it, open You Tube, watch a video, go back to Angry Birds which was still loaded in memory, no need to reload everything and start again....
I've heard bout that. Honestly I would go back to eclair if it wasn't for the lack of flash and apps2sd. I really don't understand what makes gb so slow
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
i think the best blance between features and snappynes is 2.2 . it has a lot of additional features and it runs good. i personally love 2.3 because of the look (im a big fan of the screen-off animation) but its too slow.
Interesting. I know this sounds stupid but what's actually new in 2.2 (excluding jit and apps2sd). And on 2.1 shouldn't that be the best for gaming if you can find a rom that has jit and supports ext2. And can't you get flash from the market anyways?

JIT takes up a lot of RAM that Milestone doesn't have =)
best performance is still Eclair... Official Froyo is laggy...

From what I have heard, Eclair has a 30FPS cap, so my favorite would be Froyo. I disable JIT on all ROMs as I don't notice much of a difference.

Hi guys !
I'm a new owner of Motorola Milestone and mine came with stock 2.2.1 Froyo installed.
The thing is that despite having Froyo the interface looks just like 2.0. Main screen contains old grey tab that slides up the screen to reveal apps, camera interface is old too and there is no tethering.
I've already checked motorola update software to see if there's anything new, but apparently not and right now I don't have time to root the phone to install custom ROM (2.2 or 2.3). Is there anything I can do to get the new interface working?
Hi, have you tried Cronos Ginger ver.1.4 b4?
I just installed Plants vs Zombies on my Milestone.
No problems on my Milestone running Cronos Ginger ver.1.4 (with my Autokiller Memory settings).
See this video below:

I have also played Modern Combat 2 on the same ROM too and have completed the game.
Isn't the Cronos Ginger a custom ROM that needs rooted phone ?
Sorry for such a question, but I'm new to the subject.

This is not official version (from PopCap). Official needs about 180mb ram free to run.

But still, has anyone met with such issue when stock froyo has an old interface a'la 2.0 ?
Get ADW launcher from the market. It is the lightest launcher for motorola milstoen
guys ive noticed something.
Of all the roms i think cronos runs the FASTEST. but the launchers seem to lag quite a lot. On miui (laggiest milestone rom) adw is fine(ish). But on cronos it lags
EDIT: Hmmm just checked my phone again. The lag is getting better. Spooky
Android 2.2 keeps alot apps in memory and I task killers like Adao doesn't works as good as it works on 2.1. I miss 2.1 but I'm loving the new apps on 2.2 but the memory management system is poor.
lol that video of PvZ is pathetic. My iPod Touch 4G runs that smoking smooth on its 256mb ram + 800mhz processor and retina display.
The milestone simply cannot do it.
With that said, a 512mb device can do it MUCH better. Even my Nexus S struggles since it only boots with 100mb free. A lot of crap gets killed.
I don't get why Android apps need SO MUCH RAM.
So which version actually uses the smallest amount of RAM?
Right now I'm on 2.2.1 and most of the time I have about 40MB free.
Well, it's not really about how much RAM is free, it's more like how much RAM can be freed in case you need it. So, be it Eclair or Froyo, you get around 30-40 megs free, but Eclair can free 120MB easy, without killing essential apps, while Froyo can do 85-90 with JIT and 100-105 without JIT. Unfortunatelly it is exactly those 15-20MB of RAM that we need to keep out home screen alive, or read and SMS without killing Angry Birds.
And how about Gingerbread? I'm currently waiting for new 'RTM' version of CyanogenMod 7.1 from Nadlabak and I think I'll give it a try.

Hi guys, I got NfsMW working on our HD2's. It's not laggy but the problem is that after about 2 minutes, it just exits. What's the problem? Ram? I think that android turns on it's ****ty apps(for eg. Play store) to "update" them, and then they take too much of ram..
I'd like to see your answers, thanks. Maybe chainfire can solve the problem? Or we should KILL everything with ram manager?
Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm running Aokp jellybean build 3 from xylo on nand.

The new NFS: MW? I highly doubt that works without lag, I've seen the graphics and they're quite heavy for a mobile game. No single core, 404Mb RAM (in Android) phone could run it smoothly. Even Temple Run has a poor framerate. If you mean the old NFS: MW then that runs perfectly for me without lag, and it doesn't close after a while either.

Well, it's not without lag, but it's really playable, I firstly thought that it won't even run. I'll make a short video tommorow if you want. I've found out that I can play it with the ram manager setted to hard gaming.
Yes, it's the new one. HD2 is never going to die.

Haha I'm sad to say that the HD2 will eventually die, but probably not this year. Don't bother making a video for me mate, but thanks for the offer
Dude DO NOT post shareware stuff on this forum. Read the rules before posting such stuff.
NFS MW is working on HD2
NFS MW is working on HD2 without any problem! The game is really good. You can watch a short movie from the game, just search on youtube: NFS MW HTC HD2
I play this game on paranoidandroid without overclocking. Only thing you must do is to change build.prop file.
Sorry for my eanglish
I certainly wouldn't say without any problems. The game runs at half the speed it should! Even then, I'm impressed at how smooth it is since it's running on such old hardware.

I'm impressed too. That good game on this phone, it's a miracle
Do you have a problem like me: You're racing and suddenly the game crashes because of GPU, RAM?
If you don't, how did you fixed it? I tried with that ram manager pro setted to hard gaming but I don't think it's due RAM.
When installed chainfire3d, it crashed my phone so I had to reflash my rom(stupid man forgot to backup current).
Hi there, I got a question! Where I can find the right NFS:MW for the HTC HD2? I got the game but when I try to download the files which he need I got the windows where they saing "The Device is not Compatible"
Some tip?

If you have the softbuttons activated, it won't download because of that.
I'll upload apk to dropbox and send you a pm.
And yes, problem was rom, not the game. We have strong enough gpu and enough ram to run it. I'm playing on paranoid 1.5b without problems.

This nfs is one of the newest games out there.

I know it! I have to change Android OS "Again" but the biggest question is "Which one is smooth and stable" and ofcurse no battery drain?
BTW, I will wait for the .apk , I already clicked thanks for you!
Thanks man.

I have NFS_MW, the game is great! it has some lags, but it's playable it doesn't crash on my HD2

It's bad it doesn't have those "lightning effects" etc. But i think it would be slower with this turned on.

Devs will probably make some patches with light effects that will work on every device that can run the game(eg. like Dead Trigger..).
It plays on the Hd2... But then there is a lot of difference running it on my note 2 and Asus tf300

I managed to run it smoothly without those effects with normally downloaded data for Desire HD. However, after 2 weeks, the effects for POWERVR devices (better textures, lightning effects etc) activated, so it lagged horribly.
