Have you changed the IO Scheduler. sio setting does reduce lag substantially. Bfq is worst noop so so cfg not too bad. That's all I tried and ran for a day each so far. Smoothass governed. Bfq will crash apps eventually. Also optimum perf setting for memory or next step up. Too aggressive won't let multitasking work as required as will run out of min free.

I do. I tried peach sunrises for the first time today. Damn its smooth. And complete. If only it had an oc kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
I'm on slimbean oc'd to 1.6 max, 480 min, smoothass governor, sio scheduler, and min free set to aggressive so I never go under like 120 mb free memory; most of the time it's around 150-170, and off a fresh boot 180 - 200 mb. No lag and everything is super smooth and responsive. No FCs either. I used peach for months and it was great, but I would never go back.
Unsure if this is merely a coincidence or maybe there's some substance to it, but I've noticed a lot less lag overall when using CWM as opposed to TWRP. It didn't seem to matter which ROM or which build, everything flashed with TWRP would have occasional laggy moments. Overall, the ROMs would run smooth, but then the phone would randomly just hit a 3-5 minute "I don't wanna do a damn thing" period, then as I'd tap stuff in frustration without any reaction from the phone, it would finally catch up and do a few random things all at once, sometimes even rebooting itself. I was getting angry, trying to figure out why it was happening so much all of a sudden. Then it hit me - the recovery was the only common denominator. The exact same ROMs would behave normally when flashed with CWM. Just an observation of my own experiences, anyway... So needless to say, I went back to CWM and haven't had any lag issues since. And yes, I always wipe /system /data and /cache more than once between each ROM flash, regardless of the recovery being used. It's an old habit, but at least it ensures a fresh slate to work with every time. I know it sounds strange, but maybe it's something that should be investigated further. I recall an issue with an older build of CM10 when it was flashed with CWM6 because of a compiling script. camcory was using CWM5.5 at the time. Now, the script was changed to prefer CWM6. This makes me believe there may actually be something recovery related, if not in the recovery itself, but maybe in the way ROMs are being compiled.
I've harped on this MANY times but the lag just plain comes from the fact this phone has no real hardware to operate an OS above GB. You can try every tweak and retry but the lag will not go away. Trust me I know this from experience. You run any GB based ROM against ICS or JB and you tell me. The only way these other ROMs are barely tolerable is by keeping 100mb of memory clear dead minimum. Even the OC kernel can't make up for lack of RAM. It's true with PCs and it applies to any portable device like this.
I like to run the latest OS just simply to have Google Now which gives me times for the next bus right away and tells me what's going on nearby. Cosmetically JB looks better also. So if we want to continue using this phone you have a difficult choice to make. Either run the OS the phone was made for and get left behind, or run JB to take advantage of the newest things. The manufacturers aren't going to make a cheap device like this run anything but the bare minimum. If we don't like it, we have to buy a much more expensive phone & get a contract. That's what they want folks, simple as that.

Try to Hardreset your phone...
I never had an issue like this...
Root it.
SuperCharge it.
Enjoy.
Try overclocking, or preferably try a new ROM already overclocked - that way you will get fresh rom + optimizations + OC = you will be pleased.
You don't even have to use supercharging as many roms already do great without it.
And many are slow as a snail to the point where the phone is unusable...
Not everybody loves clogged memory like you do lol
The guy wants it fast... not slow LMAO
Edit: Actually, you're kinda sorta almost right in some cases... as more and more devs are supercharging their roms
LMAO LOL ROFLLMALMAO
please, point out those which are slow, let us know
Search the forum for "redraw"
You may actually get 1 or 2 hits...

I'm still waiting for those roms which you meant as "slow as a snail"
PS: it is not called supercharging, that's just your script. people used other values even before your "fancy" script.
Ya, but nobody dared to actually fix OOM memory groupings... bub
I even say in my OP... playing with minfrees is NOT memory management...
What I did IS memory management...
I control what goes where and when it gets killed.. that's the only way to do it
An app like AMM or AKMO will let you set minfrees for 6 slots.
That's it.
Big deal.
But stock froyo and stock gingerbread group apps differently nevermind all the different configurations of custom roms.
Hell, CM7 has NOTHING in the third slot.
With AMM you can set slot 3 to 100mb on CM7 and it won't do squat.
Edit: Of course, when I say "slow as a snail" it is my opinion based on a rom unsupercharged as compared to when it is supercharged.
So out of the box, HONO and MIUI are supercharged to begin with at the moment so except for those, all the others would feel slow to me.
To you, EVERYTHING is fast, because you like sloooooooooooooooooooow with lots of apps that you aren't using clogging up memory.
Which is NOT what the OP was asking for

I'm with the stock LG ROM on the LG Thrill.
Can I do something to make my phone faster.
Yes roms and the right tweaks and this phone is awesome
sent from my acidhazard thrill
A custom ROM will make your phone run faster. There are you can tweak the build.prop and other things like scripts to improve the phone as well. Right now I just flashed the Mokee v1.0 ROM and it is the best ROM I have ever used on this phone. I would definitely recommend getting a CM7 ROM as long as you don't care about 3D and HDMI as they are broken currently with CM7.
I find the phone quite snappy, but then again I'm coming from a Samsung Epic. That phone was good but is getting very long in the tooth. I'm using Thrillseeker 2.1 on mine and so far I can say yes, it does improve the phone's speed. Next on the to try list is CM7(which is downloading on my phone as we speak). It's a boring day at work, might as well be productive, right?

hi dude can you explain further about that scripts and how to usw that? tnx a lot dude
Actually, I've been fighting this for a while.
Sometimes the phone is blazing, other times it chugs like molasses.
I've slowly chipped away at the issues, because it's obvious not everybody has these issues, but considering how many times I've tried custom ROMs and kernels, and nothing fixes it, it has to be something I'm running.
Over time, I got rid of Folder Organizer, because that seemed to make it chug. The device seems to have very little RAM and it goes REALLY slow when it's close to full. I also tried things like deleting the downloaded files for the GameLoft titles to speed up the media search on boot. (Less files searched, less RAM used, right?)
Recently one change I made that seemed to help IMMENSELY was uninstalling SwiftKey. I'd LOVE if I could get some help confirming. The circle-swipe to unlock seems much smoother, even after a day, after getting rid of SwiftKey. I'm guessing it just used too much RAM.
At this point, I'd be at a lost otherwise. I changed launchers and used CPU monitors to see what's using up all the CPU, but came up empty.
Additionally, if you haven't tried using Seeder, I'd install that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
Got my Exhibit 4G back when it was called something else at WalMart. Ran it the first two months on T-mobile with the stock rom and it was "eh", but the monthly cost was cheap and as long as I stuck to mainly text messages the phone was passable.
Now a year later I am on CM10 - which means the almost latest ROM on a phone that cost under $200. It runs faster and lasts longer on a charge than when I first got it - though partly that's because I now cheat and turn off the 3G/4G radio to use it only via WiFi. Still with Skype service I've had folks ask if I was borrowing my daughter's iPhone or my wife's Nokia - sound is pretty darn good.
So if you're looking for a good budget phone with a very active user community, you've found the right place!

I am running camcory's slim bean rom with smartguy's 1.4 kernel oc'd to 1.6, 368 min, with smartassv2 governor. It runs super smooth and I have no complaints. Battery life is nice too and it seems really stable. I highly recommend you try slim bean rom and smartguy's kernel. Makes this phone a pleasure to use.
After a 100+ flashes this phone still works as good as the day i got it. An the color still looks good too unlike my other phones where it gets wore off on the corners. It has some minor scratches but dont use a case or screen protector. It has been by far the best phone i have ever owned. Most fun too thanks in large part to the devs.

Despite the ghosting thing that happens, the screen on the Galaxy Exhibit is really quite nice. I'm always impressed, and even a couple co-workers with an S3 and Note II have commented on how vibrant and crisp/clear the screen is.
This is only my 2nd Android. My first was the Optimus V and I cut my romming/rooting teeth on that thing. I haven't hit 100 flashes quite yet on the Exhibit, but I'm getting close!
The biggest thing that made the Optimus V such a fantastic little phone was the development community. When I bought the Galaxy Exhibit, I wasn't yet aware how great the development community was becoming. I had no idea I'd be running a smooth-ass port of Jellybean so soon. I have the same feeling about the Exhibit as I did for the Optimus V.
It's nice when a boom in development affords you the opportunity to feel like you have a new phone (sometimes many times over), when in fact it's the same piece of hardware you've had tucked away in your pocket for months, or even more a year in some people's case.

Since running SlimBean, I no longer overclock. I have the regular Camcory CM10 kernel that comes with it. It's very fast, and I always have more than 100MB of free RAM (this will of course vary on your personal apps).
But it's really so quick and smooth at stock speed, I feel no need to mess with overclocking. I've tried the OC'd kernel with CM10. On CM10, it made a big difference in eliminating a lot of the lag. On SlimBean, I don't really feel or see a difference. Honestly. I realized the slickness I was experiencing with SlimBean and the OC kernel was placebo, when I reflashed SlimBean without the OC kernel and it was just as quick and slick.
there is no placebo effect when you flash my kernel haha just playing but slim is fast with an oc kernel

Sorry man! Should have worded that one better. Don't want anyone to think your kernel doesn't do anything. lol. Cause it certainly does. When I was running CM10, along with a lot more apps, Speedy Gonzalez certainly made a significant difference. Since I've been running Slimbean, I've purposely kept things slim across the board. Minimal apps, and using stock stuff that I used to replace (keyboard, browser, etc).
When you keep it slim, Slimbean flies with it's stock kernel. So for ME, it was placebo, but only in that slimmed down Slimbean configuration. I'm started to add a few more apps now and I'm already feeling the sluggishness creep in, and I'm almost ready to flash Speedy Gonzalez again!
haha its cool man i didnt take it wrong i was just messing with you....you are right tho with some roms its not needed but its great to have....slim is well slim so its blazing fast any way same with the rom im working on its fast to out of the box
This topic is nice, but I have no clue what some of these stuff mean.
Only thing I even considered doing was to root the stock rom, then flash it to peach sunshine via cwm 6.x
Does this topic mean that doing above will not help much and it will still be laggy? What are some of the things you guys mentioned like overclocked kernel (can it run with any rom, how can I install one? Or can I install one on top of stock rooter rom?)
Like "Smartguy's 1.4 Kernel", "Overclocked to 1.6" "368 Min", "Smartassv2 Governor"
Is it that SG's 1.4 kernel allows overclocking or can you overclock stock kernel?
What is the stock processor setting does it actually go below 368? And of course what is Smartassv2 Governer?
Sorry if I asked too many questions, but I just got this phone for my wife and even though she doesn't seem to complain, I can see that the phone gets laggy once you have two or three apps running (and I try to have her keep Skype or IM+ running all the time so we can chat, we don't have texting plan)
Any input/guidance will be very appreciated.
Thanks guys.
The sg kernel is for cm9 cm10 slimbean and so on. As basic rule has to be CM9/CM10 based rom. If using a stock based rom such as peach you won't be able to overclock. Icecream and jellybean Roms are all pretty decent with multi tasking and don't really need overclocking. Smoothass is the governed to use as smartass v2 has been k own to cause probs

Since I have gotten this phone I have noticed an influx of complaints about how slow and laggy this phone is due to it's low RAM. I too have experienced these same issues as everyone else. After using the Galaxy S 3 since July it was hard not treating this phone like it was a power house. Well this phone obviously isn't, and as Android OS and Apps are advancing the slower this phone is going to seem. Remembering what life was like when I had the Samsung Intercept on Virgin Mobile I was able to get some what of a buttery experience with this phone. So I am just going to share my set up and what I am doing, and other's may share their experience. My hopes is that we can all learn what to do and what not to do and somewhere in between. I am no expert and do hope to learn some pointers from people more experiences and more qualified than me
#1 I am using a light weight rom, slim bean 4.1 to be exact I am sure any rom will do, but with this phone I would assume less is more in terms of performance. Also play around see what works best for you, ,GB, ICS, JB4.1, JB4.2. There is no best rom just best rom for you. Once you find one that works for you golden!
#2 Since I am using Jellybean I went into developers options(to enable go to about phone and tap build number 7 times) and I set the background process limit to 4. My reasoning is I dont' want to forfeit multi tasking all together but it's very apparent that this phone can only handle so much. You can also set it "don't keep activies" which wont allow any multi tasking like old school iOS.
#3 I use Android built in task manager to exit out of applications I am using quite frequently. If you hold the home button for an extended period of time the task manager will appear. (maybe different depending on which rom you use)
#3 don't overload this phone with apps, not only do we have limited storage for apps, but the more apps that run in the back ground the slower that it takes. What I did is many apps are basically short cuts to website for instance bank of america. What I did was in the stock browser I bookmarked the website, and then made a short cut to my desktop. I also changed icon to something similar to what the app icon would look like. Not all launchers support changing the icon. I did the same with facebook as it is often runing in the background. If you don't use Navigation uninstalling google maps might be a good idea. If you play games delete all processes before and after playing
#4 A lot of games take up a lot of resources so if you must play games especially one that uses a lot of power than maybe a good idea to delete processes before and after game usage. If the game(or any app for that matter) is constantly freezing than perhaps you should just delete it.
#5 don't use a launcher that takes up a lot of memory, the lighter the better. Stock launcher is probably a safe bet. I use Espire launher(iOS launcher), I know Atom would also be a good one. Stay away from any 3D launcher anything with eye candy imo is bad idea. In my experience Go Laucher, mihome, Launcher7/8 are memory hogs, I mean if they slowed down my old GS3 just imagine our phone. Although with Launher 7/8 If you were disable the live tiles it may run smoother. My opinion though is what's the point. The live tile's is the reason what attracted me to those launchers in the past. In the end just use what works for you
#6 If the phone starts acting up go ahead and reboot,
#7 If using a rom that supports theme's try not to use them, often times I have run into many so called bugs that magically disapeared when reverting back to system theme. Right now I am using xperia cm10.1 and so far no issue's what so ever
#8 I disabled Google Now, my experience has shown me that our phones aren't capable of handling it. Google now is constantly running in the back ground and I suspect causing the phone to slow down, freeze, or just randomly reboot.
#9 I do not use live wallpaper, nor do I use any widgets. I love widgets and depending on the widget may not use any extra resources. That being said for me on this phone I would rather be safe than sorry
#10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
This has improved my phone greatly. Make sure your ROM meets the requirements and doesn't have any tweaks.
Using these methods I get decent performance, and battery life. This is no GS3 so I believe to get the most out of this phone you really have baby it to get the most out of it. I believe the issue is with how little Ram this phone has. I have had the HTC Mytouch 4g and I never had this issue. The MT4G also had almost a gig of Ram. I don't believe it's the processer as there are many 1GHZ single core processing phones that do not have the FC/Freezing issues we have.
Try CM7
I have been using Slimbean 4.1 and 4.2 too for the past few weeks and I have experienced frequent lag spikes when multitasking which sometimes drived me crazy. Recently, my phone was stuck in a bootloop while I was out of town so I had to flash CM7 and I was surprised at how buttery it felt. Overall, I really like the performance (although I do miss some features of JB) and I strongly advise you to try it out.

Well I'm fed up with this Jelly bean garbage! For you that say certain ones (Liquid smooth seems common) are 'fast', you're only kidding yourself.
JB on the bionic is terrible. It lags and is buggy (on after market's at least). I give props to the developers who have spent time making it usable for the most part.
I'm going back to ICS roms.
I had the same problem for a while. It wasn't until after I flashed Blurry JB after the third time did it work lag free. I had no idea what was going on but I just followed the advice of the developers and deleted the slot 1, wiped everything and reinstalled it.

You seem to think all bionic users share your experience. Not true. My bionic running JB stock rom & kernel, rooted gives great performance and a better user experience than ICS. Mine is fast and stable with no lag. Your blanket criticisms miss the mark for most.
I thought you can't go back to ics once you have jb. No?

I certainly agree that some percentage of users experience lag or other problems and I don't doubt that you are one of them. Not sure what that percentage is though. I did an FDR after the JB update and clear cache once in a while. I sync manually and turned off Google Now, but use Voice Search extensively. Various settings, sync options, location services and some apps can cause problems that have little to do with the rom.

No problems here.
If you're still running ICS as stock with JB in a safestrap slot, that's your problem

I'll try and update it to JB then I suppose. Thanks for the tip.
I get 2-10 second lags when doing a lot of tasks.
I have been reluctant to go from my extremely functional ICS based bionic running Icarus HD Remix to JB. I have not seen any post that convinces me to make the jump.
I have JB on my tablet, my wife has it on her Samsung S3, and my phone as it is kicks butt.
Why should I upgrade from stable to JB??
Thanks anyone with constructive responses.

I deleted all my partitions (slots), uninstalled safestrap, did a Full data reset/cache wipe. Downloaded and installed JB stock (OTA). Then installed safestrap and Liquid Smooth and it is still super laggy.
It'll be fine for a few swipes/screens then all of the sudden you go to open an app or go to the homescreen and it takes forever (5+ seconds). I've also had it reboot once randomly tonight as well as freeze with nothing on the screen but the 4 lights on the bottom lit up.
I dunno what else to do. Maybe it's time to start looking at new phone.
Well good news. One of the guys at work broke his phone last night and wants to upgrade to an S4. Since we have insurance on it, all I have to do is pay $100 and I get brand new S3...should be in tomorrow. :good:
I reformatted my phone twice, and i got heavy lag after a long while. Something was definitely up with JB. GB was fine, ICS got a bit worse, JB is just completely unusable with lag.
A emergency phone call will lag for 60 seconds (absolutely unacceptable), as well as sending messages. Keyboard pops up after 10 seconds, typing a simple sentence takes over a minute, and sending just barely responds. Although chrome is known to be pretty slow compared to browsers, it was also completely unusable for 90 seconds of lag from opening the app to retrieving search results.
I killed off a lot of apps, as well as clear out images/messages, and other cache/data things. But still, it crawled like a slug.
I gave up yesterday, and just installed CM10.1 . Already, I feel relieved that I don't feel restricted by anything. Bionic is in the RC stage for cm10.1. It does all of the necessary things flawlessly so far. I suggest everyone hwo's having slowdown issues with this stock bloatware to move over to CM or some custom rom. Keep FAR FAR away from it.
For now, i feel like I have a completely new phone since GB, and it is keeping up with the responsiveness of my Nexus 7.
But, if you are very inclined on staying on stock: I'm not sure what will help you speed it up again, other than completely wiping it again and reformatting.
Mine was still laggy even on aftermarket roms (JB).
I have it listed on craigslist now since I'm rocking an S3 since last Friday.
No lag on this bad boy.:victory:
I've been using FlyingJelly and it's great! My wife is stock JB and she has no complaints either.
Lag caused by the Overclocking?
In another thread, someone suggested that the lag many bionic users experienced could be fixed by clocking the CPU back down from 1.2 to 1 GHz. I tried this using the CPU Control under ROM Toolbox and I have found this worked for my phone, although I haven't found a way to make it permanent (it seems to change back to the 1.2 GHz setting, most of the time when trying to download something over a bad wifi or 4G connection). But it has helped with the frustration to know that when it lags, I will find the setting just needs to be changed back.
I am on ICS, running Icarus remixed or whatever it is called, and everything works.
My phone is tweaked and customized and runs great.
I have not seen any posts that answer my prior question: what is the benefit of switching to Jellybean when my phone works great right now?

There isn't unless you want there to be one; as has been beaten to death on this forum, any updates are completely 100% personal preferences. If you're happy with what you have, then more power to ya!
thanks. I've always been on the edge with this phone, loading leaked upgrades, roms, etc. but now that it works nicely, I'm sticking with ICS & Icarus remixed. overclocked...
I wish I could go back to ICS. JB hasn't been able to keep my underclock at 600 and keeps resetting it back to 300.
