Quick one here, I hope. I flash a new ROM everyone few weeks or so and when I do it seems very fast at first then just starts to chug like no other. Happens with CM9, CM10, AOKP, Slimbean, helly bean, etc. I know it's not the ROM then. I do the standard wipe/reset and then flash the ROM, then flash the Gapps, then let it boot up and go from there. Not sure if I really need to wipe the cache partition, or cache, or davlik cache...but usually do. Why do they always seem to slow down so easily ?
I use a wiki widget, sound search, and the clock... nothing more and close apps out often. It just seems to chug when just navigating, or going through pictures, or just typing. Any ideas or good habits I should have ? Thanks !
Bad question? Anyone I can ask ? Thanks

One thing that I found to help was to reboot the phone every night. I flashed often, so I set schedule in titanium backup premium to redo my backup every night, and then reboot the phone. This dramatically helped the rom slowdown.

I agree with this. Also, all roms naturally tend to get slower after use. One reason they get slower is due to human psychology. We become used to the rom's speed, so it seems slower after a period of time. Another reason is all the data that is created after you start using a rom. During day to day usage of your phone, a lot of caches and personal data is stored, so they clunk up your system and ultimately slow down your phone. Rebooting deletes a lot of temporary caches and restarts services that may have started leaking memory, so it speeds up your phone.

Hello Community!!
I am seeing a problem with my Revo, and I'm putting it out here because you guys are good at finding answers.
I am running Gingervolt 1.3 with the blitzkreig kernel installed. I have previously tried Hicks' little ICS responsiveness script.
Here is my problem. Most days after little to moderate use, Phone/text, I have to reboot my phone by either soft reboot (power button) or a hard reboot (battery pull) because nothing at all is responding. By nothing I mean, touch the screen..nothing, open a program...nothing...etc.
It is a slow degrade sometimes where (and my wife has mentioned it using my phone) that the touch screen is really really laggy and non responsive, especially when using a keyboard or even trying to play angry birds.
I have done a full wipe including data, cache, dalvik. I have formatted my internal and removable SD card, I have not used previous backups, instead resorted to downloading programs and installing from scratch.
This is a very frustrating issue. If it was a computer I'd say either the processor was overworking, or the ram was used up. But since we don't use program killers in GB I'm kind of at a loss. And I'm tired of having to wipe my phone every few days just so I have meh performance (and no, I'm not hating on the phone, or the rom or any of the developers, nor do I have any interest in changing phones,etc)
I'm just looking for suggestions/solutions etc. I'm sure I missed something in my troubleshooting steps.
Thanks in advance for those who read through this and try to give a hand. I appreciate it.
Wow. Since you've already gone to extreme measures, I'm at a loss. My suggestion would be to freeze the apps you do install to look for a culprit there. Or, don't install any and see how the phone performs.
I restored a nandroid prior to Google's 10ยข apps promo and my phone is back in fine form. It was lagging badly before that. I was rebooting daily. Now I go for days and the phone's solid.

I was experiencing similar issues about a week after updating to blitzkrieg 1.0. I restored from backup and it's been stable since. I just installed 2.0 today, so I'm curious to see if it'll have the same effect.

I can't say yet whether or not 2.0 has added to or taken away from the response type issues. I did have to do a couple of battery pulls yesterday just to get firefox to do anything. I'm going to uninstall that one. I may, just for S&G's do one more factory wipe and put all the tweaks and mods in place before downloading anything but the most essential programs. I did this phone, but the unresponsiveness sometimes can be a real pain.
What do you have it clocked at? I have issues at 1.9 so maybe back it down a bit. I get lots of screen freezes and have had some rebooting issues at 1.9

Currently I have it at 1.7, before when it was really bad, the oc wasn't sticking and I was at 1024, so not overclocked much. I am sure its an app that is causing the problem, but I'm not sure what.
I've never had this type of issue using Blietzkreig or any of the other tweaks so I'd guess you're right in thinking it's an app. Since you've pretty much tried everything else I would say maybe try going back to complete stock then rooting again? That just seems like what I would try if I had tried everything else and nothing worked.
And yeah you definitely don't want to overclock too much because it could definitely damage the hardware of your phone since it's not meant to run at that level. But you said you had it at 1.0ghz so it doesn't seem like that is the problem unless the damage was cause when running at 1.7ghz. I had mine at 1.9 and didn't see any issues except my phone randomly started to vibrate for a while then just restart. It did that twice when i first flashed everything but it seems fine now. I brought it down to 1.0ghz just cuz i'm not really using it now and I don't want it causing any problems with the hardware.
Thanks for the Feedback everyone. I am not sure what the issue is/was/going to be. I think Firefox was a big part of it and I have since removed it. But I am still getting random freezes, almost like the deep sleep while the screen is on. Oh well, maybe I do need to go back to complete stock.
I was deleting apps and files, no problem. And I think I was going so fast that maybe I hit delete all be accident when I was trying to delete google talk and EVERYTHING is deleted. My phone when black except for the notification bar, the phone was still charging and my F Secure program was going crazy keeping the memory card and all.
I just stayed like that for about 30 seconds and the screen blank except for the status bar and finally it slowly came back. First my back ground, then the apps. First it was slow and about 2 minutes it is back to normal, EXCEPT...
Now when I go into ES File Explorer, everything is gone, it says that ll my folders are empty. I pulled the battery and restarted and things seem to be extremely slow now. But I do have my list back and everything is fine but very slow.
How do I fix this?
You could have wrong rights on folders. If you have CWM then reboot into it and then go to Advanced and there should be an option to "fix permissions" or something. Use it and it should be fine (at least it should not make things worse ).
Bringing this back to life because I notice there is a big problem. My phone is EXTREMELY slow. It takes about 10 seconds to open every single app. Right when I got Gingerbread it was extremely fast, but after the incident happened above its very slow.
Even scrolling through my list of apps, which is a small list, it is very slow and does not scroll smoothly. Whats going on?
Have you got a Custom Rom or do you use Stock Rom?

100% stock, besides being rooted.
Funny thing, I started deleting more apps, and I deleted a 3G counter and it seems to have made things faster now. But we'll see how it goes. With this phone, it seems its fast one day but slow another. Presently, it is fast again.
Thanks for the reply though. Avoid the program Onavo, it would take about 10 seconds to type one word in a SMS. Sorry for crying wolf again.
Why not flashing a decent (custom) ROM?
Time for a full flash lol

Hi, ok so I've been having several issues with my cappy ... here they, not in ranking order:
1. Hot reboots (phone will start lagging when using app or browser and then just restart, typically boot time is quite long when that happens)
2. Freezes/gets stuck often. Doesn't matter if i have 100% or 10% or anything in between, phone will freeze up a lot, happens when using app, browser, navigation, and sometimes for no specific reason...if it doesn't hot reboot then Im forced to pull battery and restart, boot time again is very lengthy, and occasionally colors on screen are all distorted and pixelated (but do return to normal once booted)
3. Very poor battery life. I probably charge my phone at least 2x during the day and always overnight. Phone can show 85% life, and then freezes, after rebooting/restarting batt shows 70%, wtf?
Here's some stats on my cappy:
Simply stock ics2.0 kk4
Corn kernel 7.06 (bln off, oc off, no tweaks, rfs, sio, ondemandb, lmk 60, SD read ahead 512, voodoo sound & color enabled)
Kk2 modem
I really am at a loss, i have no clue what to do, the other day i was so pissed at my phone i almost drowned in the pool... :-( I was going to start from square one and backup my int SD, apps, and music, then totally wipe SD, and rom, and try reflashing saurom kk4 (don't remember having as many issues re: stability). I initially got the phone in Aug, but had to get a replacement which is a refurb. I'm open to any advice/suggestions anyone out there may have... thanks in advance to all that reply.

When you received the refurb was it on Froyo or Gingerbread? That description sounds like you don't have the Gingerbread bootloaders.
Try going into CWM and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. It will take a while to boot after that but it could clean up some of the issues you are having.
The refurb was originally on froyo, and have flashed numerous gb, ics, cm, miui roms up to this point... each time I restored my apps (app only) with tibu

Do you get the pixelated screen on every boot or just on the hot reboots?
it happens somewhat sporadically (the pixelated screen colors). but seems its always freezing... can cell phones get viruses? i have lookout, but phones acting a lot like a computer does when its got a virus or something nasty along those lines...
It sounds like you could maybe use a full wipe, format, and flash back to stock. That should clear up whatever could be wrong software-wise.

Should I flash back to stock gingerbread or froyo? Then flash saurom? Aldo, should i flash with or without bootloaders?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
Gingerbread should be fine. No bootloaders. You should already have the Gingerbread ones.
Or you could try just Flashing Saurom after doing a full wipe and then seeing if your situation improves. I suspect it could be an application causing an issue.
The zip I have of saurom is a full wipe... I can still restore my apps with tiny, right (app only, not app & data)?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
Yes. That should be fine.
i tried almost every ics rom and at start they all were very fast but after some time they become much much slow. any solution for this
Can this be because of your installed applications and overall system debris.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
No not like that. I installed vry few apps but stil it gets slow. I tried Docs rom, slim rom even every 1 but they all get slow after some time. I always do full wipe and than instal clean fresh rom

Try restarting your phone, wiping up all the cache. Maybe this might help.

I have exactly the same problem. Wiping cashe through CWM doesn't change anything, it still gets slower after a few hours or a day max.
I have SE xperia neo v, rooted, unlocked bootloader, rom pureness 11, kernel nightelf 1.4. It gets so slow it actually refreshes/crashes (not sure) ex launcher pro and I can't do anything but reboot. Then everything is great and very fast at the beginning and then gets slower.
There is about 70mb RAM both at the beginning and later when it gets slow so I suppose it's not the full ram problem? CPU is also mostly free, I check if games are not running in background so that is not the problem as well. Internal space: about 85mb free and a few GB free on SD.
I have lots of apps installed (about 50) but I think it would slow my mobile from the very beginning after reboot?
Any advice?
I'm no expert on these devices, but I can tell you what I do to help with this problem... I simply hold the home button down until the recent apps show and then slide them off the screen. My phone runs OK for a few hours until I rinse and repeat...

Thanks, I will try it when the phone gets slow again and let you know it it helped.
Edit:
Nope, that's not it at all. Deleted everything from recent apps the way you told. Go launcher EX is right now turning on and off constantly, most of apps that are usually open have long since closed themselves. I have to reboot, there's nothing else I can do.
Edit 2:
I have deleted a few apps that I don't or rarely use and 4/5 of games I had. It stopped crashing my launcher and I don't have to reboot anymore. So I guess it was just too many apps and games (unless on the way I've done sth else that helped that I'm not aware of).
Hi,

weird you might want to flash the newest revolution rom, my guess is that there is an app running in the background. game perhaps? i would just recommend a fresh install with 4.2.2 =D
Sounds like you have some naughty apps or system processes misbehaving, you need to find out which ones they are, try installing the watchdog app and set it to monitor system processes as well.
Also a good one is wakelock detector.

Verify the rom your flashings MD5 checksum.
To eliminate any apps that may be causing your phone to get hot, do the following.
Go to your internal memory and clean up anything that you do not need, so pics, music and videos i would keep, or copy them off, delete everything else that you don't need. *Make sure you leave a working ROM to flash on your memory* (I personally do a good clean up every third flash, so i delete every folder and just leave the ones i mentioned above and a flashable rom of course)
Reboot to recovery and perform a full wipe (Data, cache and dalvic cache)
Install your rom.
Don't install any extras at all
*Do not restore anything whatsoever*, no advanced restore and no titanium
Allow the phone to boot and don't install any apps, just sign into your Gmail and keep it like that for a day.
No overclocking / underclocking no undervolting / overvolting of any kind, keep it on stock kernel.
Turn off unwanted wireless connectivity when not in use, ie: GPS, NFC, WiFi, Mobile Data.
If your phone gets hot after that then I would say that it could be a problem with your handset.
When it's charging or your running an app the phone will get hot, thats a given but if you follow what i've written then your phone shouldn't get too hot.
Good luck m8
Use this app and see which apps getting energy
