[Q] GingerDX runs very slowly - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I was using GingerDX for 2 months on stock kernel, and it was really slow. Apps launched slowly (took 3-4 seconds at least), when i pulled down the statusbar it was very laggy, animations were laggy etc. I had only 40-50 MB free RAM even when i closed every running apps and unnecessary services, and it restarted the launcher everytime i pressed the home button. So the whole ROM was very slow (I even overclocked it to 710 MHz).
Yesterday I installed the stock 2.1 ROM and it is freaking smooth compared to GDX, no lag, launcher doesn't restart, I have around 80 MB free RAM when nothing is running, and it goes down to 50 MB when i run 3 foreground apps and more background apps at the same time, and touch is way more responsible. I didn't even overclock it.
I haven't tried any other custom ROM. Is GingerDX really that slow? I don't believe, because it is very popular. So what is the reason it runs way slower than 2.1? Maybe because I have stock kernel? I really want to use this ROM since it has so many features.

Hi Lajbymester ,
Welcome to the community.
Please take some time to Introduce Yourself and read FORUM RULES.
Hope you enjoy your stay here, and help others in the future.
I beg to disagree. GDX is popular because it is a very good ROM. Please do try fullwipe, then flash the ROM as instructed in GDX first page.

Thanks for the welcome
I have already full wiped and reinstalled the ROM about 5 times, used all versions from v021 and it didn't get any smoother.

Hi,
For now, I´ll just ask you to give us some more information. Could you post what do you use on your phone?? Even in stock kernel I´ve never felt laggy on GingerDX.
With fresh install, what did you change? Undervolt? OC? I remember that ppl had issues on Stock Kernel and GingerDX running with OC module from doixahn. Try to see if the Rom you are using is undervolted or not.
Will you try it on Custom Kernel?
BTW, which laucher are you using on it?

I flashed doixanh's OC module and it seems i used the Undervolt too because it is integrated into the ROM. I can't flash a custom kernel because my phone's manufacturing date is 11W48 so it would be a brick. I'm using GO Launcher EX.

No we mean the step you do. What are the step you do and setting you do to your phone?

try removing the OC and UV modules, and I suggest you to use Laucher Pro, it seems to be smother than other lauchers I ever tried.
To remove both OC and UV just open a root File Explorer (ES File Explorer has root access), go to /system/lib/modules and delet x8oc.ko and x8uv.ko if I´m not wrong. Them you test the rom again and see if you get better performance

It seems to be a bit faster now, I'm not sure yet
I got some free RAM with RAM Manager Pro, now i have the same as on stock ROM.

Well...I didn´t use any app to kill process or manage RAM on my phone, and It is smooth enough for me without OC . I´m using MiniCM right now, but it was the same on GingerDX

It seems to be smooth now, thanks for the help

You´re welcome bro. That is why me and other ppl is here

Fullwiping

I dont agree. I run v025, stock kernel, and i dont flash the overclock modules. It runs fast and smooth. Maybe u installed too much apps, widgets and kind
thanks for the thanks......
rom: gingerdx v025

I found GDx (stock) a bit slow too
I dunno why.
That made me switch to PrimeHD.
That's very fast

And the magic is: when i sleep, i turned off data, wifi etc and my battery level doesnt change a single percent. 25 % when i go to sleep, and still 25 % when i wake.

[Q] Serious lagg , tried every thing you could imagine

Hello guys , i own SGS I9000 , came across very weird lagg when i flashed from stock eclair 2.1 to Gigerbread 2.3.4 , i have tried almost every rom except CM7 and Miui
i really liked the F1 GS2 V6 custom rom but i removed it due 2 bugs and reboots / lags
my MAIN lag is in browser and ANY thing that is related to scrolling , i just don't know what the F*ck is wrong with scrolling when i scroll down in my android market ...it's not smooth , when i scroll down in my music player , it's not Butter smooth but rather kinda choppy , scrolling down the contacts list , is rather choppy /laggy a bit not smooth , APP drawer , is choppy /laggy and not SMOOTH omggggg
i have tried clearing dalvik cash , wiped cash , factory reset , changed many roms , like JV6/ JVR/JVQ,JVH,JVP they all have the same problem
i tried darky's rom , jeuwes , F1 gs2 v6 , they all have the same problem :/ :/
BROWSER has some laggs too , when i pinch to zoom it takes about fraction of a second late to respond sometimes , also i can see some pixels when i pinch to zoom (( please help i will try to donate to whoever helps me solve this crapp problem , iam on Surface rom last , Speedmod kernek K15i-16
Lag fix disabled ( i have tried on many roms and i can't seen a change ) but not on this rom
i haven't tried Miui rom , i have watched some videos like this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ls4V496kwI
look how fast this thing goes !!!!!!!! can any one help me make my SGS like this one !????????????????????? any tweaks ?
is it available for 2.3.4 ?? JVR
I have galnets miui (chameleon RC1) with the neo 17 r7 kernel (really fast kernel).
Its increadibly fast even without overclocking.
I do recommend a ram tweak because with the stock settings it starts to lag after some time.
I personnaly use "autokiller memory optimizer" from the market.
Then I set the presets (press the menu button) to strict.
Now my sgs is really fast and it never lags.

i have flashed miui rom like 2 hours ago and iam shocked, it's very beautiful , buti i experince the same lag in the same place at the same time again..... it happens with all kernels and roms man iam tired of **** sh*t , any idea ??? i even tried Over clocking to max 1300 MHZ...... not even 1 single change in speed has hapened
Just out of interest, what quadrant score do you get?
Sent using geek power
1500 , less than 2000 for sure
sounds like you need a complete cleanse of your system and a clean install. The latest GTO Tornado kernel provides for a complete clean, flash the kernel, go into recovery, clean your system, connect usb, mount the sd card, copy rom, unmount, install rom in recovery, all clean and no lag (at least with Tornado RC2 rom, can't guarantee any one else's roms, but then you have tried most to know that already...)
Hmmm....
If you download the TEMP/CPU app, what is your CPU utilisation and free memory when the phone is doing nothing? (set display timeout to a long time) and watch.
My phone ticks over at 1-2% when its doing nothing proving the android overhead is very low.

I think you do need to a clean install of JVR (odexed) followed by a factory reset. I also keep my apps in internel memory.
Then try latest semaphore kernel, I use Tegrak to set max CPU speed to 1.1Ghz and its very fast and rock solid.
u need to format the internal,(phone),ext mem ,,i mean a totall format
Install CM.

uptime 20Hours 1m , battery level now is 66%
Processor ARM v7 processor rev2 (v7l)
and no i didn't mess with any of these on any rom i install , i have tried JVQ , JVP , JVH , JVR , JVP and now i flashed miui on JVR 2.3.5 but i guess it replaced with JVK 2.3.5
what i have tried is , Factory rest , then install clean as usall
cleared dalvik cash , cash partitions , formated internal memory ( lost all contacts , gallery , music ) then flashed normal
now iam on miui 1.8.26 and it installs JVK 2.3.5 automatically i guess , kernel = wolveren ( STOCK with miui )

deodexed: easier to tweak, lighter on ram, heavier on space, slightly more laggy.
odexed: faster boot (after dalvik wipe), easier on space, harder to tweak themes, slightly more RAM, smoother/faster!
Odexed JVR browser doesn't suffer with the known lag, also try opera browser as this is fast

i flashed MiUi Rom it's very pretty and i will be using it for a long time , it fixed some lags at certain areas , Opera browser REALLY is better than stock very fast , sometimes it's snappy but i get a bit lag during pinch to zoom OUT or move arround in browser , i get lag during transition effect , like when i switch from a home screen to the next one it's choppy , any idea ???
MIUI and CM7 which MIUI is based on are indeed super smooth roms for me and bunch of other people. I've been on MIUI for a month now and that in itself is sign of how good MIUI is, I love to flash my phone, one of the reasons I came back to SGS and android after an iOS episode.
My point is that I cannot believe all the issues you have with all these roms.
Every android lags every now and than even SGS 2, u learn to live with it. Even iOS has micro lags sometimes, granted I had 3gs but in general iOS is miles ahead of android when it comes to that. So trade ur SGS for an iphone and have a lag free life. Well, almost.

How can i speed up my galaxy s GT-i9000

Hi all on xda i'm wanting to improve my galaxy s i9000 speed, at the moment my phone runs at abt 960-1000 on quadrant standered which i know is rubbish, my galaxy s is on a stock rom & kernel (firmware 2.3.3, build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVH, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #2) updated using kies, I used to have it rooted but unrooted it don't know why what r my options regarding getting better results on quadrant any help on this topic would be much appreciated.
Thank you
John
install a custom rom,
if u want good battery, decent speed then install Darkys Rom,
if u want PURE speed (with stock android, without the touchwiz ui) then install CyanogenMod7
or just go over to the development section and experiment around with the Roms,
MAKE SURE THAT B4 U INSTALL A ROM, U ARE ROOTED BY INSTALLING A GINGERBREAD KERNEL THORUGH ODIN, AND THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A SITUATION IF U HAPPEN TO BRICK YOUR PHONE (LIKELY, BUT EASY TO FIX ) however, if u do anything to your phone and u dnt know how to fix it, im not responsible, ill try 2 help but wnt guarantee anythink
if i helped, be sure to click the "thanks" button
Forget quadrant, just a random number generator. High score in quadrant has value when you wanna show off, and at the same time let others know you really don't know.
I'm still going on XWJVH, happy user of rooted Semaphore kernel 1.8.2.
The included Semaphore app gives you access to a lot of tweaks, Voodoo color/sound and a smooth operating phone.
The latest leaked ROMs (XXJVS, XXJVT) still has bugs: phone FC, WIFI disconnect. If you feel brave and wanna try one of these ROMs, make sure to read what's fixed in their OP and latest posts for experience of users.
Sent from my GT-I9000
Try ThunderBolt! in my sig. Be sure to read the requirements and meet them before flashing
Stock jvt
or faaryabs f1 rom v13 that hopefully will be released today if you want more features.
talon or semaphore as kernel.
And thunderbolt tweaks.

delete unnecessary apps
root and delete unneccesary apps.
Flash stock JVT and Semaphore, then convert to EXT4.
my WiFi works fine, and for the Phone FC, just flash the JVT Phone Fix.
For me this is the best stock ROM that I've tried. Fast and stable, the browser has improved a lot.

Root and install a Cooked rom, anyone will do better than the stock one.
And forget Quadrant, it's rubbish.
+1 on Pikachu01 Thunderbolt script. Running very much smoother on my SGS.
Mitra Rom is faster then other and use lagfix

If you use JVT with JVK modem the phone will operate amazingly, no phone fc, no wifi disconnect, great battery life + performance.
Good luck!
try miui mintberry
My advice would be first flash a few custom roms+kernels and see how that works for you.
If that isn't fast or smooth enough you could try tweaks like thunderbolt!

Hey!
2.3.6 is very good!
you should test at the beginn of your "Flash carrier" a few Roms + Kernels.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Look, if you want a rom that supports custom themes, mods and other tweaks, then go for stock JVT or some custom rom. But it is undeniable that gingerbread will always lag slightly on the galaxy s due to low ram. Heck, it even lacks on the nexus s.
In reality, if you want a lag-free (and I really mean LAG-FREE) rom, you should go for Froyo 2.2.1 roms. Froyo roms were meant for 512mb of ram, and they work flawlessly on the galaxy s. ZSJPK 2.2.1 never lagged on my SGS.
And just to be clear, ram is indeed the limiting factor to smoothness on our phone. On Gingerbread, free ram is less than 100mb after a day's usage, and so the phone has to constantly close and reopen background processes while you're using it. If I'm not mistaken, the default kernels begin to close apps and processes once ram drops below 64mb. Eg: Free ram is 100mb. You open the browser which uses 20mb, and then when you load facebook which uses another 20mb, the free ram has dropped below 60, so while processing the webpage, the cpu has to simultaneously close background processes. Then when you leave fb, the cpu reopens those processes. Hence, the phone lags.
But on Froyo, there's up to 180mb of ram on boot, and somehow ram consumption after prolonged use is not that high, so it can last for days with over 120mb of ram and hence never lags.
In conclusion, the only viable solution to lag that I have experienced so far is by using froyo 2.2.1 roms, especially the later builds like ZSJPK or the other one which name I cannot remember. Things like voodoo lagfixes don't really help (unless you're on eclair) and custom rom tweaks are really just placebo effects actually.

[Q] gingerXperia v21B problem?

is there anyone out there that are experiencing major lags on this rom?cause whenever i use an app after that my phone lags a bit,,and the games that i play before on my 2.1 eclair that are smooth lags badly on v21B,,i lag on paper toss simple paper toss i experience lag..is there something that i did wrong?i moved from gingerdx v19 to gingerxperia v21b,will formatting my SD card help?
I havent used that ROM for a while but I read something in its thread and I noticed people complaining about v21b. v22 is out so try that one if its laggy too go back to last version that was smooth for you. And dont format your SD card in wont help, try wiping cache from recovery.
im using that rom now with alfs v6 and i didnt experience any lag ..
i froze some system apps and used ram manager..it made my rom fast..
i didnt experience lag even when im using a live wallpaper with the arc launcher
i like this rom so much because of its xperia style
how do you freeze some system apps and use ram manager?..and whats alfs v6..sorry im such a noob just started using roms on my w8.
yesterday i flashed gingerxperia v21 but it was very laggy then gingerxperia v21b. on v21 RAM is very low then v21b. i think v21b is much better for me. i using OC 710MHZ, governonndemand, and its very very fast and smooth. antutu benchmark i've got 1700+ score with this combination.
GingerXperia Contact problem
I had shifted from GingerDX to GingerXperia and I am facing a problem when it comes to saving contacts.
When I type a number and save it, it saves it directly to the google account. Whereas GingerDX gives an option to save it on Phone (un-synced).
Is anyone here having similar problems with GingerXperia?

Also try to lower your CPU frequency maybe thats the problem..
If you would read around for a bit you may discover that random reboots with GingerDX on Stock Kernel relate to low memory. Once the phone runs out of RAM, because you run resource hogging apps, it'll crash and reboot.
The only resolve is to switch to a custom kernel (like Alfs) and make use of swap.
Also, since you are overclocking chances are that you may experience a heat related crash.
At any rate ... make up your mind. Either use your phone AS a phone and buy a PSP for gaming, or use less demanding apps.
I have this problem once. Try full wipe and reinstall the rom and dont oc. It works for me.

Suggest any other rom with gingerbread with stock kernel only as i dont want to unlock my bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849622
No problem, u missed somehing, i think..
hey bro,
Just clear all the cache's and do a full wipe (atleast 2 times) when u install new ROM
If the problem still persists, get a light and faster rom or even flash a good custom kernel! (as u said u have custom kernel)
Try GingerZaraki, FDE +4 or even GingerXperia has got good performance with games
and for a good performance and fps, OVERCLOCK ! best is 729 Mhz (remains stable)
Source: my experience!
