Android running VERY slow?

I updated to the 4.1.99
and it is running veryyyyyy slow... even after I upgraded to extension 3.
What can I do to speed it up? (I have already closed all running applications)
or will upgrading to 4.1.999 make it faster?
Help.. really, I feel like I have an 80 year old phone

that is the reason 4.1.999 was released, to fix bugs in 4.1.99. yes, it will be faster, also if you don't have a linux-swap partition, i recommend getting one.

Linux-swap makes just about everything faster.

Uhhmmmm I have linux swap, on my SD and CM 1.4.999 (3 nines) ROM ran so slow that I almost chucked my pone at the wall before NANDroiding. So does anyone have reports of there CM Rom being majorly increased inspeed after upgrading to 1.4.9999 (4 nines)?

999 ran great, and 9999 runs really good. did you ever wipe your rom and run a fix_permissions to clear everything up

I had that problem with 4.1.99 and 4.1.999 till i wiped/factory reset a few times for OCD satisfaction and reformatted (not just wiped) my sdcard. If you aren't super computer savvy, amon_RA's newest recovery image will give you a one click option for formatting and partitioning sd card without knowing or inputing script.

Ya I wiped but I never ran fix_permissions, ill try it.

it took me awhile to get 99999 working i lost root, so i have to start from scratch.

wow 5 nines, what are you doing giving cy a little side funny biz

No funny business thats what i thought it was called

Wipe, wipe, wipe.
Run Swapper with the recommended settings.
Get a class 6 SD.
?????
Profit.
oh, and format your ext2 using Ra's recovery image every flash.
I'm using RAv1.2.0G and can format the ext2 w/o deleting data from my
FAT partition. It's nice and fixes most probs going from ROM to ROM.

ext & froyobylazo

Hello
I try froyo by lazo rom on my g1 and for me it's one id the best i try ( lite and fast )
But i got a problem with the ext partition, it does'nt apear in internal storage.if i select alowed application move to sd ext it work, but after reboot all the application desapear...
I got an ext4 partition and a swap one done thrue RA
Is this rom need a special ext?

You might have better luck asking in the development thread.

I know but i'm not able (junior member )

once you choose app2ext,you should reboot your phone,then install the apps.
otherwise they will desapear

Ok. I'm actually on this ROM now, and have been for a couple weeks. Despite the fact that the thread says to NOT use Firerat's ALL in ONE patch, you need to. The options you want to use are 2, 4, and 10 ONLY! Nothing else. This will force apps2ext to work on this phone/ROM combo. I thought all of this was fixed in version 5 of the ROM, but not sure. Any questions, the email is in my info to the left.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

just flashed mine to the version 5.1 from previously ezGingerbread.
So far I can say the install on sd-ext functioned. Just set it to sd-ext and reboot.
Btw I don't install any AIO from Firerat as it is not advised to do so

Ok for me i partitioned again my sd using gparted and now everything work. I think the problem come from RA partitioning.

Take it from not only Tribal but from myself who are two very experienced members, if you don't want your data partition to be eaten up rather quickly then run the AIO patch options 2, 4 & 10 when you flash the rom, tried and fully tested working.

hurmm, could u please elaborate a little bit as i can't really see why my data partition will be filled up quickly.
As for now, every apps that I've installed, just go nicely into the sd-ext partition. (actually I've already read the comment about AIO patch in FroyoByLazslo thread, but just couldn't make my mind) .
And if it is really needed, should I reflashed everything back or I can just run the AIO? Thank you in advance
Update : I've tried the script AIO but got an error saying that MT3G dalvik-cache didn't need to be bind. It is normal ?

i would like to know this too..

You can just run the patch. No need to re-install everything.
Basically, the patch forces your ext partition to mount. Options 2 and 4 kind of work hand in hand with each other, while option 10 is a dalvik cache bind point. If you get an error with option 10, disregard.
In forcing the mount of ext, this ensures that future apps continue to properly install on the ext partition. they will still have a bind point, so don't fret. This is MUCH better than the ext option "possibly" messing up and your precious internal storage gets eaten away. While this has probably been fixed by now, since they are now in version 5.2 at the time of this post, I take no chances. LOL..

Nexus One internal storage low

So out of curiousity I backed up all of my apps using titanium backup and installed the new MIUI Rom based on ICS. It kept crashing because for some reason the internal storage filled up. Now I re-installed CM7.1, but my internal storage is again almost full.
My question is, what can I do? I moved ALL my apps to my SD card before I even installed MIUI and before I installed MIUI, I had 170mb free. Actually while typing this I realized that I guess MIUI didn't remove CM7 when it installed or something... hmm. Anyway any help is appreciated, and be gentle this is my first post.
Also android.process.acore keeps stopping.

did you wipe data/factory reset,cache and dalvik cache atleast 3 times before flashing new rom???

Do it 4x, just to be sure
Each apk (program) on your system has a corresponding entry in the dalvik-cache that gets generated from the .apk. If your storage (/data) filled up things are going to be broken in all sorts of ways, including the inability to make the dalvik caches. Since you didn't format between ROMs, you'll also run into permission issues and settings that don't make sense in the new ROM. Cyanogen uses an alternate location (/cache) for the dalvik-cache for system apps, I don't know if MIUI does, but that could be some of the difference in space. Duplicating data for the same .apks in different ROMs could've also filled up your space. It's best to format all the phone partitions to not worry about this stuff. Usually you're safe not formatting /sdcard, but some ROMs are picky. Some ROM install scripts don't format /system and that leads to BIG headaches. If you format all the partitions, then you don't need to worry about clearing user data/battery stats/dalvik-cache because that was already handled when you formatted the storage that contained that data.
tl;dr: Fix permissions after installing a new ROM. If the old and new ROMs are different enough, everything will still be broken because you made the android gods angry. Sacrifice (format) /system, /data, and /cache (and sd-ext if you have it) *before* installing the new ROM and things should be fine.

Haven't used MIUI for awhile, but didn't think it had an ICS version. There is one in XDA, but it is not stable and I think requires blackrose hboot and differnet partition sizes for hboot. It also runs a2sd on reboot i think?
CM7 uses Dark Tremor beta4, that's what I use. It needs flashed after rom and scripts run to move apps. Check out their site
As suggested format all including system and format sd card with sdformatter, full erase and size adjustment on and set up 1gb ext 0 swap
copy sdcard and have a good nandroid first

MIUI has both blackrose and non blackrose version of ICS

right, but one is unstable and he can't keep his ics partition if flashing non ics one

I've tried the latest versions and both br and non-br ones seemed have problem with data connectivity. Some others have experienced the same. Thought the dev's investigating it. But, previous version, i.e. 2.3.2, worked fine.
Try non-br 2.3.2 with 185/85/166 partition layout, that was great.
Sent from my Nexus One

Having similar issues with ICS MiUI which really seems rather unstable (v2.3.2), and going to flash the latest update from a few days ago (v2.3.9).
Any suggestions on how to deal with some of the stock MiUI "bloatware" that comes with it and seems stuck on the system ROM? A2SD is supposed to be enabled, but unless stuff I dowload off market/play or restore is deemed systems apps, which I doubt is the case, I can't seem to choose to move them to SD card or in this case the "USB Storage" (Sorry, my postcount's too low to post on the actual MiUI Dev thread)
Also, as a sidetrack, does anyone know how best I can sieve through my contacts storage/DB? recently I think i might've accidentally synched with my FB countacts and it seems to have bloated up to 16-18+Mb which is alot from the previous 10-12Mb or less from what I recall. Is there an app or something to help 'manage" it better or do I have to manually go through and get rid of excess contact info on the phone or from my Google contacts list?
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys might have.

evervolv factory resets after freeze

i don't know if this is the place to post the question, but i have no other place, so i'm sorry in advance if i'm in the wrong...
well, the title says it all - i have evervolv (JB) and a2sd used. this is the 2nd time this has happened - evervolv freezes and then when i hard reboot (pull the battery out) my phone clears everything, as if new. please help me.
thanks

Vijjendrahs CM10 also factory resetting after freeze / flat battery
Hi,
I've noticed the same issue using Vijendrahs CM 10.0. If my battery happens to go flat (which has happened a couple of times) then the phone does a factory reset. I'm using CWM recovery, A2SD and it's getting a little tiresome having to restore the backup from Titanium and Nandroid every few days - another couple of times and it'll be getting flashed back to stock.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm guessing that some file handle isn't being appropriately closed and that's causing sd-ext not to be found on reboot (but that's a real shot in the dark).
regards,
James.

Did you try partitioning your SD card using CWM ? I would suggest using 4EXT recovery for creating your sd-ext partition.

Thanks
Hi Sphinx,
I've tried partitioning my SD card a number of ways, BlackRose, Linux, A2SD and ADB (mke2fs to format it). None of those made any difference and I had a suspicion that the "fault" for want of a better word might have been with A2SD not gracefully handling a shutdown or hiccuping when a reboot took place. I've swapped to Mount2SD today, reinstalled everything and just pulled the battery and everything came back just fine. Of course 1 swallow doesn't make a summer but it's a good start.
James.

[Q] JellyBean Rev. ROM - Internal Memory

Yes I know, it's another internal memory thread.. but I can't post on the original post about the JB ROM I use without 10 posts so I hope someone can help me here...
I'm using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951086&page=50
It's the only ROM I've found till now that makes my very battered Ace actually run smooth (it was in a car accident.)
What I've done till now to increase internal memory:
- Used the CWM Recovery Mode to format an Ext on my SD Card
- used MiniTool Recovery Wizard to format an Ext on my SD Card, used Ext2/3 and 4
- Tried to flash the CronMod Int2Ext+ zip, but it's getting stuck halfway through
None of these methods helped any :/ is there a way to increase memory or am I stuck with 3-4 apps before it says "nope"?

You are using int2ext+ in a stock rom = Stability and NO problems
...
Let's start again.
Did you create a sd-ext partition? which format is it (fat,ext2/3/4?
How did you do it? Using mini partition tools is a piece of cake
How did you flash the script?

Uh no.. as I wrote in the original post
int2ext did not work, it's getting stuck halfway through
I created an sd-ext partition using both the CWM Recovery, then MiniTools Partition Wizard, after every try I deleted, formatted and reassigned the SD card back to its original state. I tried Ext2 Ext3 and Ext4.

I thought I answered everything XD but maybe you mean as to why I'm not using the stock rom and decided on a flashed rom?
Simply put because it lagged like hell, the mobile was in a car accident, ever since then the stock rom had nothing but problems, couldn't run any entertaining app without it crashing or lagging
So I decided to get a copy of the stock rom and format everything, then flash the stock rom back on it. It worked, the stock rom loaded, but the lag came back pretty quickly.
Then I went on to search for a rom that wouldn't lag, after a few dozen of failed attempts I used this one by pure coincidence and it works for me, it does not lag, it doesn't crash. Some games lag if I play them too long, but music and video runs perfectly.
But the internal memory was still an issue, I managed to get 1024MB of internal memory on another semi-stable rom a few weeks back using the CWM Recovery tool for creating an ext3 partition. This does not work anymore on this rom, I also tried to get ext2/3 and 4 with MiniTools PArtition Wizard on the card but the internal memory stays the same.
When I tried to flash Int2Ext+ inside the recovery it just stops at a halfway point and shows "4ext: disable_scrn_update" and stays there forever, the little yellow bar in the background moves to around half, then stops there. I waited 30 minutes but no change, then I restarted the phone and there is no change to internal memory.
That is the whole story

LOL!! I was meaning "how to do things"
How did you flash the script? It isn't answered yet
....
Btw let's start
1. Backup your current data
2. Reflash the rom
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
AFAIK int2ext+ script works with ext2/3 and ext4 partition (so It is the best to avoid troubles, or simply use int2ext4+ [only works with ext4 partition] )
5. The script should work fine, JB Rev rom use BE kernel, so you won't get any trouble

But I said that already :/
I restart my phone into CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
I mounted and formatted everything you just said multiple times
then I go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "chose zip from sd card" -> CronMod - Int3extv2+ / Int2ext4+
then it disables the screen update and installs in the background but stops at around half and doesn't budge for hours until I remove the battery and force a restart.

If THE STEPS I POSTED DOESN'T WORK...
Extract the script and paste it in /system/etc/init.d folder and set the permissions
Code:
x - x - o
x - o - o

The reboot your phone
It should work too!
