General cleaning - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If i flash my phone with flashtool , and then I will reinstall my GingerJHv5 will my phone works faster ???
Sorry for my english

just reflash the rom. it's like formating a pc it will run fast for the 1st week (give or take) then it will slow down, just like your phone will. so dont install tons of useless crap and it should be fine.

If you want your phone to work faster use Ti backup to uninstall or freeze useless apps. You should also try autokiller memory manager. Set it to aggressive if you are in need of ram.
PS: Dsp takes up a lot of ram. If you don't use it, uninstall or freeze it.

Freeze apps only with Titanium??

Your X8 will never be FASTER. But, by OC, using app2sd, and Swapper2, you can optimize it so that it doesn't lag.
(Napisz co chcesz uzyskać, i do czego używasz najczęściej swoją X8, a napisze ci post z pełnymi instrukcjami jak dobrze zoptymalizować swoją x8'ke do danego celu)

I use only "traditionall" movment apps to SD by Setgings. It's good???
I want to improve my x8 for RAM, games, music and internet.

CyanogenMod Settings
- CPU: min 320MHz, max 748MHz
- COMPCACHE RAM: 26%
- JIT: On
- SURFACE DITHERING: On
- 16bit TRANSPARNECY: On
- ASSET PURGING: On
- VM HEAP SIZE: 48m
Download Swapper2 from the market. It's free. Making a partition for it is not necessary.
After downloading Swapper2, launch the app, goto settings and set 'Swap Size' to 256MB, and 'Swappiness' to 10, and check the box next to 'Run Swapper at Start', then restart your phone. After it reboots, go to your TerminalEmulator app, and type free. It should show a line saying you have 300MB+ of RAM, with XXMB's used, and XXXMB's free.
App to SD instructions:
- Move to SD the apps which you use the least.
- Do not move to SD apps you use to customize your ROM with.
- Do not move to SD apps which you use the most.
Use a Cache Cleaner. Plenty of them on the market. I use AppCacheCleaner
Use Supercharger if you play games on your X8. It might help.
Here's some facts about RAM, CPU usage and why YOU SHOULDN'T USE TASK KILLERS.
That's it.
If your X8 is still slow, then save some cash, and get a Sony Xperia S... I can't wait to get mine....

The last advice is very helpful Oc 340MHz is goos for battery?

Battery drain is always a problem, especially with Ultra-Brightness and Wi-Fi.
You can always try different minimum CPU speeds and different CPU managers, but, on some ROM's with Android 2.3, you will almost always encounter screen lag, unless you raise your minimum to 320MHz.
Your phone will not reach the maximum speeds, unless you're playing some demanding games, or, have various app's running while engaging the phone, GPS, or Wi-Fi. Almost always it's running at below 40% speeds.

What about GingerCM???

Unfortunately there is no definitive standard answer because everyone's phone's run a little differently. What works for me, may not work for you and vice versa....but here's some info to get you going. These options are under Cyanogenmod Settings.....
Overclocking...best max cpu settings will probably be somewhere between 691 & 748
Underclocking...can go as low as 19 mhz, but that may cause sluggishness when you wake your phone up, and also may give you problems with screen off music player, camera, & navigation problems. I usually have my min set around 264 (going from memory here..the Hero is home & I'm at work).
Governor....On Demand or Interactive seem to be the post popular governors....I use On Demand.
Compcache....mine's set at 18% per someone elses reccomendations after having some nav problems.
Enable JIT....Seems to be personal preference, try it both ways.
Surface Dithering....off
Allow purging of assets....Personal preference, try it both ways.

Id disable compcache. Read up on it. And keep jit off. Just makes system unstable with no performance gain.

What is compcache?
Compcache (compressed caching) is , in short , virtual swap , setting aside a certain percentage (usually 25% ) of your RAM as 'compressed' swap. Compcache compresses the data that would normally go to swap, then moves it back into RAM, and reverses the process when moving it out of the 'compressed' swap. However, this is a classic space-time tradeoff . You effectively get more RAM from the compression , but it is slower than 'normal' RAM due to the CPU time required to compress and decompress the swapped pages.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
Surface dithering improves the quality of images but takes away from performance.
Try jit if u want. Some people say games run better but other than that theres no difference. All i had was instability when i just tried it again.

Guess its all in what u do wit ur phone. Wasnt saying u dont know what it is but disabling it would give u the best performance. But if u need the extra bit of ram it creates then go for it. Did you actually see a gain with jit tho? Ive used it bunch of times for days at a time and seen no gain. Just random reboots n lag that i never had a problem with before or after i enabled it.

I could be wrong but I think jit has a lot to do with how much mem you have free. " I think " I was running data2ext ext2 on a 16gb class 4 sd and a 2048 ext2 partition with the boost added and jm's 806 kernel oc to 768 max and 691 min. When ever I turned jit off I would notice a big difference in app loading, scrolling in apps,web page loading, animation and transitions. Boot time was a lot slower as well. But with jit on I automatically notice a speed gain in all of the above. Its true though no to phones are alike so its a hit or mis with it. I was one of the lucky ones were it actually benefited me. Also with comcache any amount of ram gain on the hero "Imo" was a plus.

Well from my knowledge on data2 ext. Ext2 was faster but ext 4 was safer. In terms of data loss and battery pulls. But I've always used ext2 and have pulled my heroes battery several times and never lost any data.

[q]Why SGS use 150MB of ram while xperia x10 use only 90MB?

game use more and more RAM, so... I noticed that wolf's rom on my father's x10 use only 80-90MB of ram....
... so Xperia got more free ram than SGS? Funny? NOT
I know I can't change it, but why Wolf's made damn light rom, and we got less free space?
Are the firmwares the same? Different firmware requires different amounts of RAM.
And yes, actually, there is something you can do about it. Check out the V6 Supercharger script. With that, you can change how much RAM the system keeps free.
I mean everything is closed. And yes I know the trick...
Still SGS with launcher took 120MB (fresh after flash) and 130-150MB after all Aps restore, SWYPE etc....
So clean Android here 130-150 with no apps running at background...
Xperia X10 I open setting, I did not clean any of apps, and Android took 88MB ...
It was surprise for me.
The worst part is that SGS got 512MB of total Memory vs 384MB. I got around 160MB free memory on Xperia vs 160-170mb free memory on SGS.
So only real possible way to increase free memory is to put to SGS Bigmem kernel that break 720p recording.

Again, if you're talking about free RAM with no apps running, then you're talking about how much RAM the firmware is using. If you want your phone to always keep more RAM free than it currently does, you can use various tweaks to modify Android's memory management—such as the V6 Supercharger Script that I previously linked to. If this isn't sufficient, then you can flash a Froyo ROM (instead of a Gingerbread ROM), since Froyo uses less RAM.
If you're asking why Android on the Xperia device is using less RAM, I honestly have no idea. But it's likely due to a difference in firmware.
My froyo uses 240mb of ram with no apps active. Just some widgets like facebook,clock,callendar...So i guess your ok with 150mb.

[Q]Does Quasar kernel support swap?

hi guys,Does Quasar kernel support swap?and how to enable it?
i tried to enable it but failed
and i'm thinking about there's a lot of free space that i never used in /data and /system,so why don't we use those useless space to swap for more ram?
or we can use ZRAM?and how to use it?
we have 512 mb memory, for what you want swap?
actually the ram we can use only have less than 300mb
hmm partitionning SDC should do the job, isn't it ? do "ext" partitions have something to do with that ?
I think there's no reason to use swap, but dxdiag32's idea is not bad... internal memory is quicker than sd...
Regards.
Nah, it doesn't support it.
I did some tests with ZRAM and ZCache back in the LG P500 days and it didn't seem to help with anything so I usually disable Swap support now.
Anyway, you can always mount a tmpfs partition to some applications to boost their I/O operations if that's what you're looking for.

Depends on the microSD card's class. A class 10 is faster than internal memory.
In fact, it's a shame they dropped the yaffs2 filesystem as in non-sequential I/O operations it's the best one.
Class10 is faster? At least internal memory will be less energy hungry... won't be?

Yes, class 10 (>= 10 mb/s write speed) is faster than internal memory.
This is why moving app, data and dalvik to microSD when you have such microSD provides a good boost on I/O operations. There's many folks using the combo CM + S2E + MicroSD Class 10.
As for battery, it's a good question but I bet it should be the same. I/O stuff isn't heavy.
most of us now is using C4 sdcard,at least in China is .so i wanna give us some more performance.my free space in /data partition keep more than 800MB for a long time,and i think more ram can provide us more stable phone.
Beware that RAM works differently for Android devices.
Whereas free RAM in Windows is arguably better than occupied RAM, this is not so for Android. In Android, having RAM allocated is good which is also behind the reason of why we shouldn't use task killers. That being said, we don't really need more than 512 MB of RAM for a heapsize of 32 MB and proper OOM groupings and adj values! Even with an aggressive usage, it's unlikely you'll manage to trigger an OOM (out of memory) throughout your day.

I understand the theory but because of my own experience I do not agree in 100% with You. My previous smartphone was Samsung Spica ( not much RAM ). I used to use my favourite IGO for navigation. It was impossible to succesfully launch IGO if I have not used task killer before.
Without task killer IGO just started and vanished within seconds.

That's because IGO triggered an OOM event and the ROM you had instead of doing an intelligent swipe and killing applications based on certain heuristics, was killing the process responsible for the OOM instead (IGO). It's a flag in sysctl called: OOM kill allocating task.
So in that case, it was just a lousy ROM/kernel. Or perhaps in Spica (old kernel, old android version) there wasn't this setting and the phone always killed the application that made the phone run out of memory. This explains why it vanished after a bit.
Either way I stand correct, there's no need for task killers in a device with >= 256 MB of RAM or properly configured.

Agreed. I still have my old Galaxy Apollo, with 256 MB ram it goes perfectly as it should. In fact, on a careful observation i 've noticed that if we use taskkiller at autokill level at let's say 30 minutes autokill, it will technicall consume 4 CPU cycles in an hour for each app (two for killing, and two when applications like gmail/facebook etc. starts automatically again).. but without taskkiller they may have stay idle, and not used any CPU cycle at all for as many hours as phone is idle. And for battery purpose, it is the CPU cycle that drain, not the used memory !
in my opinion,we only need to kill the apps that use internet in background to save battery.such as Google Maps,once i used it,its services stay in background and after 3 hours i didn't use phone do anything,battery drain 3%,and if i kill it,no battery drain after all
Google Maps and DRM service process sometimes cause battery drains indeed.

You don't need any RAM managing scripts/apps/whatever.
All they do is actually slow it down, as when you open apps, they're stored in RAM so you can open them again later. If you clear RAM all the time, you'll have to load the app every time you want to open it.
Depending on your launcher, this may be a problem with scrolling lag too.
My advice is just remove any RAM managing...stuff.
I'm using Wp7 extreme rom its modified to the Max with visuals and IV got 15 apps on top of that, I haven't even over clocked it and its still smooth and fast with no lag and IV got 1gb partition, the rom it self sorts the has built in app2sd, not the app, it also comes with ram manager what I haven't used yet so maybe try this rom and also try clearing cache on all the apps this has a massive impact on performance

You don't need a ram manager, huh? So when you have 50+ apps and 25MB ram left with your phone TRYING to crawl through whatever you're doing, what will you do? Close them all up one by one to free up ram?
Amazing how all these devs make ram managers just for show, huh. They must be pretty bored.

The Ace can't run anything COMPLETELY lag-free because of it's lack of hardware. I've tweaked my phone to the max and it's already as "lag-free" as it can get. And it STILL has its slowdown moments. Don't feel bad, it's not just your phone.

[Q] DjangoManouche X installation questions

Hi there XDA,
I've been using the custom rom DjangoManouche for some time now, and it's great! But while installing i'm usually guessing the settings. If someone can clarify it, it would be great!
Note that these settings are asked of you while you install DjangoManouch custom rom.
1. Available Kernels.
When installing the KoB kernel, you can chose between several options. NoOC or OC, with or without RamHack. I know that OC stands for over clocking, but what does the RamHack do (28 / 32 mb)?
2. Dynamic Fsync (active / inactive)
I found this explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33381928
If i understand this correctly it means that you have a small lag when ending calls. But when your system crashed you won't lose data.
3. Frandom Optimazations (active / inactive)
I can find no information about this on the internet..
4. Zram (active 96/128mb or inactive)
I found this explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077072
If i understand this correctly it means that ZRAM is handy for devices with not a lot of RAM. But the LG 02x has 1gb of RAM(?). Wich raises the question what good does it do?
5. RAM Management (stock RAM values / Supercharger Free Ram values / SuperCharger Balanced Ram values)
I found this explanation: http://www.technorms.com/10319/boost-performance-android-phone-supercharger
Wich explains that supercharger script boost your phones performance. But doesn't explain what the difference is between 'Free Ram values' and 'Balanced Ram values'.
6. CRT Effect (enabled / disabled)
Is this the awesome animation that shows when you power on / off your phone?
7. Fast Dormancy (enabled / disabled)
I found this explanation: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/674208-fast-dormancy-in-nutshell.html
In short you want to enable it if your provider supports it, correct?
8. Cronjobs (active / inactive)
I can find some javascript related information, but not connected to Android. So i'm in the dark here.
As last i want to add that I'm posting these questions here because flooding the original thread with these questions is just creating noise And i'm sure there are a lot of other people with the same questions.
Thanks in advanced!
Dynamic sync is better disabled.....when enabled and issues of reboot....has a risk of data corruption.
ZRAM....96 is better....makes apps open faster......one correction-O2X has 512 and not 1GB.
Balanced RAM or free RAM.....old timers from GB will know....so maybe Carbs did not feel to state it again
Kernel ....OC is better but for rh....I prefer no ramhack
Frandom....I chose not to activate....did not find a big difference in perf
Fast dormancy.....better disabled for battery
Ramhack....is hacking and in simple words stealing what is normally for the system.....for faster performance.....but can be lagging or missing some features ....higher RH can lead to issues in Camera or other apps....so I prefer the minimum of rh and less RAM consuming background apps
I hope you can read the threads which you have posted but on experience ....I have posted what I have tested and used over quite some time on this device.
Thanks for the understanding
EDIT: forgot the cron job.....this is something Carbs first started in the O2X long back to free RAM periodically......everyday at a specified time,,,,cron script will run and clear.but you need to activate it by giving permissions
To be exact, Optimus 2x only has 384 Mb of RAM available to use for Android and apps, because 128Mb of that 512 is dedicated to the GPU. This is why many developers embed RAM hacks, because that is not much.
Since I've been using DMX I've experienced that with supercharger off, I'm always suffering from very little free memory, but many people claims (mainly Carburano), that supercharger eats much CPU even when the screen is off, that's why he doesn't suggest to use it.

in android.....extra or too much RAM is wasted RAM.....so generally speaking we dont need too much too....like in WIN
but, less RAM can be leading to lags and screen freezes
Ramhack can be leading to some unpleasant things sometimes.....too much of RH can also make a few apps, system apps to FC....so I always prefer to have no RH and use apps like greenify or minfree manager.....I agree with the DEV as the testings and general usage over time will show the correct results......some of us users might not see that....

Dynamic sync is better disabled.....when enabled and issues of reboot....has a risk of data corruption.
ZRAM....96 is better....makes apps open faster......one correction-O2X has 512 and not 1GB.
Balanced RAM or free RAM.....old timers from GB will know....so maybe Carbs did not feel to state it again
Kernel ....OC is better but for rh....I prefer no ramhack
Frandom....I chose not to activate....did not find a big difference in perf
Fast dormancy.....better disabled for battery
Ramhack....is hacking and in simple words stealing what is normally for the system.....for faster performance.....but can be lagging or missing some features ....higher RH can lead to issues in Camera or other apps....so I prefer the minimum of rh and less RAM consuming background apps
I hope you can read the threads which you have posted but on experience ....I have posted what I have tested and used over quite some time on this device.
Thanks for the understanding
EDIT: forgot the cron job.....this is something Carbs first started in the O2X long back to free RAM periodically......everyday at a specified time,,,,cron script will run and clear.but you need to activate it by giving permissions

Thanks for your reply!
It seems that cronjobs are actually really useful! But how do i give it permissions? Usually SU ask to give you permissions when the proces starts. (For example when you open Titanium Backup). But i can't manually add permissions.

To be exact, Optimus 2x only has 384 Mb of RAM available to use for Android and apps, because 128Mb of that 512 is dedicated to the GPU. This is why many developers embed RAM hacks, because that is not much.
Since I've been using DMX I've experienced that with supercharger off, I'm always suffering from very little free memory, but many people claims (mainly Carburano), that supercharger eats much CPU even when the screen is off, that's why he doesn't suggest to use it.

Thanks for your reply! So it means that your device is faster, but also drains your battery faster when screens is of?

Thanks for your reply! Let;s see what Greenify can do!
I'm gonna install the new DMX 1.6.1 in a few minutes with these settings:
1. KoB Kernel with no ramhack
2. Dynamic Fsync inactive
3. Frandom Optimazations inactive
4. Zram 96mb
5. Ram Management with Supercharger Free Ram values
6. CRT Effect enabled
7. Fast dormancy disabled (For better battery life)
8. Cronjobs active
Has anyone experienced differences in performance between 'Supercharger Free Ram values' and 'SuperCharger Balanced Ram values'?

Not much, only the amount of free ram is more, but it doesn't effect the smoothness much imo. I had heavy lags with stock ram values on DM1.6 unfortunately, so I would have suggested you to use supercharger too. I hope you will be pleased with the settings you chose.

Thanks for your reply! And we will find out today how smooth it goes
I've used my phone now for 2 days with these installation settings:
1. KoB Kernel with no ramhack
2. Dynamic Fsync inactive
3. Frandom Optimazations inactive
4. Zram 96mb
5. Ram Management with Supercharger Free Ram values
6. CRT Effect enabled
7. Fast dormancy disabled (For better battery life)
8. Cronjobs active
But it's far from smooth. I'm installing Greenify now to see if it changes anything..
If you Supercharged rom lag should happen. Which version are you using?

Using DjangoManouceX 1.6.1A (the latest i believe).
But most of the lag happens when switching between apps or starting one. When an app is running, it's usually smooth.

Install 1.6.1 without supercharged and apply script for more free ram.
In my opinion for kernel use 1.7 KoB OC 32MB Ramhack.

I will try this out on my next install! I prefere to use a install for several days so i can test it out better.
And after installing Greenify things got a lot smoother! That app is just black magic
