Which X8 tweaks are worth effort? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Im currently running GDX v28b with alfs v8a kernel. I didn't make any big tweaks so far, only overlocking and SuperCharger.
Is making ext3/4 and swap partitons on microsd worthy? Can i really make my X8 faster thanks to this? I heard swap can shorter microsd life-span. I have 16gb 6-class microsd card. How much can it shorten it's life-span?
What are other tweaks i can do to make my x8 faster?
Thanks for the answers!

yes, i uninstalled the unused apps too. i'm just wandering how could i do more . thanks for your help and i'm waiting for more opinions

Actually the ROM you are using is pretty much tweak for performance and I guess adding more that your not certain of might cause problem to its performance. Btw do you play on your phone a lot?

No, i don't play a lot, but sometimes when i have to quit one app and load another one the phone is very laggy. That's why i thought about applying some more tweaks to the phone .

Thats normal because of our device low memory. You can try Ram Manager.

btw supercharger is tweaks too,so many tweak include there are 3g turbo charger,kickass kernelizer,flush engine,etc...
but if you need more tweak you can try "jimdem droid"...its easy to installing

i heard that i shouldn't use Ram Manager with supercharger script. Nevertheless i used Ram Manager once, but for me the phone was just... slower. now im trying to make a swap and ext3 partitions, but i can't make it. maybe someone could help me? CLICK

[HELP] increase memory in milesone (RAM)

i have a cm7 iceandfire rom on my milestone and i only have like 20-40mb of memory i want to increase it to 100 i heard of rumors of it being possible any ideas?
Install TheFroyoMOD (or another MOD on Froyo, eg CM6) and you will have free RAM.
GB eats to much RAM and Milestone/Droid have not that mutch.

awn i wanted to keep cm7
Try supercharging it, follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 it won´t give you 100mb+ but it´ll make it way smoother, and if thats still not good enough for you then you might follow mblaster4711's advice and go for either froyoMod or the latest update to CM6.

[Q] which enhancements/modules/scripts should i use?

hello..
i am currently using primeHD v8.0 custom rom and i am on STOCK kernel..
i want to make my x8 more fast like while scrolling or app open/close etc.. , with better gaming, and more better battery life.
i have the following enhancements in my mind... i have read enough of reviews but seriously i wanted to collect them at one thread and ask about opinions..
1. primeHD v8.0
2. oc at like 710Mhz
3. v6 supercharger
4. chainfire3d with powervr plugin
5. smartass v2 cpu governor
now i came to a personal conclusion that the above 5 are certainly good and will definitely boost performance [i havent tried any of them yet except the first one obviously]
and then i see some other threads or tweaks/mods like
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621808
2. e15 optimiser [i read t reviews.. and unfortunately it doesnt seem well]
3. jimdem droid tweak.. [this has particularly good reviews.. please take this into consideration]
now i have the following questions:
1. do i need the above mentioned 5 ? i mean all of them or some of them..
2. if i install all 5 mentioned, will there be bugs, forceclose, or any problem like rebooting .. if used TOGETHER? [exclude the overclock while answering this, as i know it depends on the hardware.. so..]
3. if anyone has installed or tested all of them please give a reply.. based on performance with games and at the same time improved battery life and day-to-day multitasking.
4. i mentioned 2 other tweaks too.. do i need them if i already installed the v6 supercharger?
5. does jimdemdroid tweak does any better thing at primehd v8.0 for PERFORMANCE and issues??
6. i know these scripts and mods involve libraries which at the system level do therir work.. how.. i dont know.. i a noob.. but anyway.. please provide a concise list of the things which are significantly good and will seriously yield!
if any better mod/tweak is available, please do share.. and remember i am on STOCK kernel with a custom rom!
does chainfire3d realy support the x8 gpu? i think not
Use Crazy home launcher, it has few features, but its the BEST for speed

..and please can someone relevantly answer all my questions??..
a lots of questionlets give a shortest.Here what i do to maximized my phone
1.stable rom-primeHD is quite stable
2.oc not more than 700-higher oc not make big diff except eat ur batt.
3.play with others cymod performance setting for best result
4.use smartassv2-balancing between batt life and performance
5.use RAM manager pro instead superchager for easy switch RAM requirement
6.use swap for more RAM
7.turn off unused funtions for more batt life only on when i need it.
8.use Titanium backup to freeze or uninstall any system apk that me dont use
God willing,ur phone will be fast,stable & have good battery life.many custom roms has build in tweak so install others will bring more harm unless u know what u doing
cheers

so that means that i dont need v6supercharger.. rom manager pro is a good alternative..??..
and do i need chainfire3d??.. to play hd games etc.. and the point you said about cymod performance settings.. i did not get it.. i mean how to use these settings??.. please tell..
and swap wouldnt be possible on stock rom i suppose...

Its up to you man,
1.both of it is RAM manager but u cant install both in 1 time.I cant tell which one is good but the easy and safe one is RAM manager PRO.
2.Chainfire basically is Graphic card emulator to run games for other card.also its can reduce games quality to minimize RAM usage.so its nothing to do to boost up ur performance.use it only if u want to play certain games
3.Its Cyanogenmod setting like cpu setting,compcache RAM usage,WM head size,etc options.
in my opinion these setting is the best:
a)in cpu setting,use smartassv2 governor & set cpu below700
b)Comp RAM=26%
c)use JIT,Eneble surface,use 16bit,allow purging,lock home=ON
d)VM heap size=32
options may vary for diff.ROMS by default setting but u always can check for fully options by make shortcut for cyanogenmod setting.
long press on homescreen>shortcuts>cyanogenmod settings>Performance settings.
4.yes,some ppl says its no use to swap on stock kernel but if u on costum,believe me,its worth it
cheers

thanks a lot.. i got all my answers.. um.. actually i got a prob here... i was trying the v6 supercharger.. but i couldnt install it .. it said i had crappy version of busybox.. so i went to android market.. got busybox installer 7.9.2 [latest] and installed it... which while installing said that it couldnt correctly be installed as some old version of busybox was hindering it.. and it said to remove any version of the previous busybox... after that.. i anyway.. tried to run the v6 script through Terminal emulator.. NOTHING HAPENNED!!.. i exited terminal.. did a reboot.. what i get is a soft brick!!.. i was on primehd rom and stock kernel!
edit: i got the prob.. i used 1.20 version of busybox.. which bricked my phone.. any way i have installed ram manager pro now... and am not suffering from any problem now.. thanks !
and 1 more thing.. i couldnt find the comp ram settings anywhere.. others i have done..
npglad to help
Not sure about stock kernel.maybe stock cant support or rom itself
sometimes dev will set it to 26% by default & remove the option to prevent somebody mess up with it.not sure about primeHD.use search button to have some answer.If u couldnt find a satisfaction answer,u always can open new thread maybe some advance users or dev himself can confirm it.

thanks.. i installed the rom manager pr.. it works like a charm... but another prob arose.. i tried to do smartass v2 governor module via terminal.. with the steps written as to how to do it... it gets incorporate in the cpu settings also.. but only for sometime.. ie .. when i restart my phone.. the smartass governor is deleted.. i have to again and again do that.. i don know if ram manager is hindering with it... i have set it to balance!.. any solution??..
sorry,bro...
cant help u with this one.Never had the chance to play much on stock kernel(unlocked bootloader after 3 days bought it).If search button cant helped,I think u need a new thread.many Ppl here actually read only a title.they only step in if they got something to share.Good Luck!

Pure stock ics sense 4
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
A full restore might work
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
I have already done..
Desire C has few problems:
- crappy processor
- low RAM
- low internal memory
Stock ROM is good until you start to use your phone. I found that cleaning cache regularly improves the speed. For some reason, too much of internal memory is used for temp files, and that slows down the phone. You have the "Get more space" option to help you with that.
Try to move all your apps to SD card.
But I sincerely advise you to install some of slimmed ROMs, revolution rom I use is great and snappy. And overclocking the cpu helps a lot.

yep try revolution ROM it's the best ROM out there!
but the desire c doesn't have a crappy processor at all it's HTC Sense wich is making it lag!
Or if you're a bit advanced try the SuperStripped Revolution Rom.
It has less apps than the others and so it doesn't need that much memory.
And like the others said, try which oc kernel is the best for you.
V5 Customizer

Get V5 Customzier and install moderate ram which will boost your free ram as realistically it only has 412mb of ram (Requires CWM).

Milestone Performance With CM 7.2.4c

Hi guys. My uncle gifted me this device with CM Mod 3 month ago. Now this device lags as nokia 5800 .
I have only 72 mb of 256 free RAM space .. I cant play Trial Extreme 3 and so on.... I run Opera and Vk , and my device cant open any other applicantion.
Processor overclocked on 1Mhgz and i use JiT ( setuped in cm settings)
It surely needs a swap partition. Read other topics how to set such a partition on the sd card.
Sory but i dont understand, i need to swap a partition for more Ram ? Or better to setup CM 10 with android 4.2 ?
Swap partition is a partition you create on your sd card. It supports your phone with extra memory and its capacity. You can use mini mod by fufu to setup swap, ext partitions.
If you want to set up Cm 10 on your milestone, you can't make it without ext. The swap partition is required too.
Cm10 will work faster or slower? I can make 1gb swap , i have 32gb flash, cuz i only want very fast phone
Definitely it is cm7. Much faster and smoother. The thing is, Milestone is kind of outdated phone in terms of hardware (some say it has pretty good cpu, but has to be overclocked anyway), thus you cannot expect miracles. I would sick to cm 7.
CM7 is your choise

How to speed up jelly bean performance?

Hi there, I have question how you guys speed up your jelly bean performance on ace?
Maybe u will tell something new for me
For example I:
* Use memory managment - zRam to max, allow purging of assets ON, kernel samepage merging ON
* Limit background processes to 2-3 (in dev options, unfortunately after every reboot that needs re-apply)
* After reboot I try to force stop every non-system app, whats running
(using task manager to see whats running)
* Using only one widget

And at this moment my task killer shows 140mb free on CM10.1 (bieltv.3, RC2 release)
Maybe you should flash Adrenaline Engine and install Seeder + Greenfy to keep ram usage to low level. The first two things I mentioned works very well on stock GB and make the phone really fast. Also you can use CAREFULLY Pimp my rom to apply mods to speed up more the rom. Be aware that you can't do that much because the phone is very not powerful and the rom is not optimized at 100% so above some level of smoothness you can't go. P.S. You can also use a swap partition or the kernel patcher Memod+Swapall.
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830
Pushing free mem into 50 or 75MB, smartassV2 or smartassH3 + sio, Greenify, replacing Launcher2 with the launcher from XperiaZ.
For swap I use Swapper 2 from Google Play.
Is it best of kind? and how good is performance?

I am sorry. I did not see your post.
Do you mean Swapper 2?
It is just an interface. You need a kernel which supports swap (like the one of the Cm 10.1 builds or erikcas' AOKP ROM). The performance depends on the kernel. The app just invokes busybox commands.
There are few apps that manage swap. If you want a simple one for swap files, use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper
If you want it to have more features and/or support a swap partition (which is faster and better as it is mounted even if the phone is connected to a PC). The biggest advantage besides that is its feature to clean the swap partition when it gets full. If the app does not (like the first one), it will be lagging like hell.
So I recommend Swapper 2. :good:
However, make sure that you have a class 10 SD card. Other classes will slow down the phone. And the life of the card will be decreased due to the many read and write actions.
You can transform you rom on a Bareboned Rom to make it as fast as possible, e.i. deleting all useless apps!! instead of using apps to freeze others as Greenify, TB, AndroidTaskers... that of course is runnig in background, so the best way to stop all background processes is removing the app that produce these processes xDDD

Yes, probably one of the best methods. However, you will have to do that again for every new release.

JB is already faster than GB.

lol but gb is much more stable i think.. thats why some users prefer stock roms instead latests jb roms
