[Q] FroyoMod vs CM7 RC4

Hello all,
I have been experiencing some freeze-ups on FroyoMod 2.6.0 and was thinking of flashing CM7 RC4 by nadlabak.
If I do end up flashing it, is the performance any better? What about battery life?
Also, is "update-cm-7.0.0-RC4-0.08-11.04.05-Milestone-signed.zip" the file I will need to flash? Or is that only an update?
Thanks in advance!

RC4 is very good. You should try it. The best of all CM7 releases according to me. You apply it just like you applied Froyomod. Place the zip file in openrecovery/updates and apply update in AOR.
I cannot comment on battery life as i have had it only for a couple of hours.

So far so good! I'm liking the different customizations, not much different so far compared to FroyoMod, perhaps a bit zippier.
I'm having issues with the power notification widget in the status bar, it's disappeared on me, but it is enabled in settings. Other than that it all looks very good!

Cm7 seems to have many bugs...
So dare not try....
For froyomod, everything works well except
1. When someone call me, my phone would vibrate for around 10 seconds but with the screen still turning off.
It is nothing to do with the cpu and vsel i set,
The phone dialer and contact list are also very laggy
2. 3d games perform pooer in froyomod compared with shadowmod b3

Just reboot the phone....

Display settings gives me FC
Does anyone have FC when selecting Display settings? Seems to me was working OK right after installing but now I always get FC
EDIT:
Problem found and even partially resolved: issueId=478
I use Email.apk to get access to my corporate Exchange email account, which enforces some policy on my phone that should results in removing restricted screen timeout entries from the Display settings screen, it turned out that the translation files contains less entries than the numeric timeout values which caused an exception (index array out of bound) so I got FC.
A workaround is switching to EN_US language (EN_GB is affected too)
Thx to kabaldan

Anyone have problem with camera with FroyoMod? (FC, freeze) I've since the first installation of froyomod.. My camera only work with eclair??
I would like to know if with CM7 do you have any problem with camera..
Thanksss

CM7 is running well on my phone, except clock issue (can not show AM/PM) and battery life.

3. serious gps issue. 2.6.0, 2.6.1 and 2.6.1b all these roms do not have working gps, some version showed partial gps activity but no satellite locking at all. developer is working hard on this isse and will bring some solution very soon.
@James91, do you have any version of froyomod 2.6.x with working gps? I am surprised, why have'nt you mentioned here about it in your exceptions?

Experienced some auto reboot. OCed at 800MHz.

I am using cm7 rc 4.1....till now i am loving it......i never thought my milestone can perform this much....lol....try supercharging.....its the best.....

Random lag while scrolling, opening app ...

Hey all,
Thank's for a great forum. I've been searching everything I could find about this weird behavior on the Samsung Galaxy Note.
1. I made factory reset.
2. Formatted SD
3. Rooted and installed RocketRom V17 with Abyssnote 3.0.
4. Regardless of launcher, LauncherPro, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher, SPB Shell 3D I still experience lag when scrolling, opening apps (random freeze lag with 1-2 seconds).
5. Even with wiping cache, reboot several times, using SetCPU, Autostart, Memorykillers etc... still lag appears every know and then.
At the moment I've given upp and can't find any solution the problem more than it is faulty hardware. It's kinda annoying when showing the phone to friends and you click on facebook, 1-2 seconds lag, or clicking on sms or gallery and you have 1-2 seconds lag, same sometimes when you click on camera... There’s nearly a 2 second delay when you take the phone away from your ear. The screen takes a long time to reappear so you can just hang up the call or sometimes even answer the call.
I know that a lot of people don't care about this but with this phone being such a masterpiece this shouldn't happen.

Any tips or should I just suck it up

same
Same problem the lag is annoyin as hell. Bought note 2 days ago and feel like returning it until I tryed ics alpha which is smoother than stock roms, but way too buggy.
So the only reason I'm keaping this laggy phone is ics.
Btw galaxy nexus lags as much without 2d acceleration.

Well don't get me wrong, the phone is really fast and the GPS is amazing, fastets and best I've seen in a phone. Sometimes when driving I activate it, use google maps and satelite view, blows people away since their Iphones can't keep up.

i hv experience lagginess as well on all 3rd party launcher. LauncherPro being the smoothest, but the lag still there. I end up using stock TWlauncher, coz thats the only launcher that i will call smooth.
For this issue i would not call it a hardware problem.. Do you have the same lag as well on stock TWlauncher? On TWlauncher I would say its 100% buttery smooth, at least on mine.
So, but those launcher running fine on other phone, why would it lag on G.Note?
I believe its the 1280x800 high resolution that these 3rd party launcher are not designed to handle. But the way I see it, its not hardware problem.

Dude same problem here with 2 to 3 sec of lag, I have the exact same version of ROM as yours and I'm facing the same problem, I tried almost everything, so many apps and mods but nothing works it's always there. One moment its buttery smooth and the next it lags and I just got over it....
Other than that it just works fine.......

Well the lag, with scrolling is there sometimes on touchwiz especially when going from homemenu to appdrawer but, the main problem I'd say is the 1-3 seconds lag when clicking on an app installed/system. With LauncherPRO I have 0 lag with scrolling both in Homemenu with widgets and going from home to appdrawer.
I know that IOS and Android need to first start apps and then it will stay in memory for faster start the next time, but even frequently used ones like Contacts or SMS or SETTINGS or FACEBOOK will have the 1-3 second lags even if I started them and jump out using home menu. I think this i generally after a lockscreen or screen going dark or phone being idle. And I'm using default locksreen. This will not happen everytime and thats why I assume it's either a hardware issue with RAM or bad memory management, like I remember I saw on IOS when they started with MULTITASKING. I was searching and found people having LAG or FREEZE after a lockscreen, but the solutions for that didn't make my 1-3 random lag go away unfortunelty.
Thansk for a great forum and I hope we don't go black on the 18th.

I think the random bits of lag have a lot to do with the cpu governor. Which cpu governors are you guys using? If u monitor your cpu frequency with a widget you'll notice the lag is only when there's a drop in cpu clock. Using lulzactive i see some occasional lag. Lesser with ondemand and least with performance of course. Wonder if there's a way to adjust response times for the governors.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

For ondemand governor, there is.
In directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand
There are a few files controlling the parameters of this governor. The ones that might make this governor raise speed faster are up_threshold and sampling_rate.

At the moment I'm trying without SetCPU since my friends Note is default everything, however I will try SetCPU and Performance and see ... I don't care bout battery life since I'm used to charge my phone everyday.

Tuning Evervolv ICS less laggy?

Did a fresh install (wiped everything/cache) and using 220sys, 8cache (the one for Evervolv JB, so no change needed if upgradting to JB later) partitions. 1GB a2sd ext. Using smartassv2 governor.
It's laggy ---- press an icon/menu and I can feel significant lag before the app opens, and the time it take to start an app (e.g. facebook,skype, google voice) is MUCH more than CM7.2
Are these things I should try to alleviate this?
Other than the speed problem, it seems to work fine, but it's too slow as a daily driver...
Thanks,

Use Nova launcher and in Developer options turn off all animation. You will see a difference.

I did turn off the animation. However, the lag happens when starting app, going around within app. It feels not just animation related.
Trying BCM(now SpazeDog) now. It feels a bit better. (I did use the same min/max cpu/governor when comparing them)

some questions

im using aokp build 40 and i have some question looking for an answer ... and beleive me i searched everywhere and didnt find an answer
1- how to use betterbatterystats ? cause i downloaded it from here xda version and open it and it give me this when i choose any option
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4lItoDxQiKdWmRsZmh6aEVNeEE/edit
no refernance set yet !!!
2- i want any one to try downloading these app " bey2ollak " cause it didnt work for me .. it opens the start screen and suddenly off to app drawer !! so i want to know what is the problem
3- in data usage there is an option for restrict background data for any app when using mobile data ... does it really work ? cause i restrict alot of apps and when i open it using mobile data it works and not restricted at all !! is there any app that make what i meant ? actually i want an app that block all app to reach to mobile data and select which app i want to reach to it
4- in navigation bar section in rom control there are two options " width and height " didnt work for me
5- recently i figured out alot of options that i didnt know it be4 .. but there are some options still i didnt know " wifi sleep power mode - voltage control - fast charge ( does it really works ?) - zipalign apks - read ahead value - fix permissions - enable sysctl - force gpu rendering -
6 - recently these error message appears alot " system process not responding kill the process ;ok - wait "
7- how to replace any system app with one i downloaded ? ex: if i want to delete the stock camera and replace it with camera fx to be the default camera app and poweramp to be the default system music app
8- is there any risk if if i played with max cpu speed and gpu clock speed and touchscreen clock speed ? if not so by ur experience what is the ideal values to set ?
and thanks in advance

Maybe nobody know the answer.
And by the way, your google docs doesn't allow access.
Anyway, BetterBatteryStats, just run it, charge your tab to full, and let BBS run for say 1hr
then open it and look at the kernel wakelocks "since unplugged" and also partial wakelocks.
You can paste the picture here and I can try with my limited knowledge to help.
BTW, why do you want to run BBS? you have battery consumption issue?
And for your other questions, I don't know the answers.

Answers, I think I know'em
You can force GPU rendering for playing games smoothly......!!!!
For improving games performance.....
Max CPU: 1200Mhz
Min CPU: 100Mhz
Set Governor to Lagfree.....
and see that games performance changes......
Also for the apps(Why do you want them to be default?????) Everytime you get an option to choose something:
For example: If u have have multiple launchers.......When you press the home button, a dialog box appears which wants You to choose one from them.....There you can set that launcher to default.....Hence everytime you press home button you will get the selected launcher without any dialog box popping up
You can do that for music players and other stuff where you have multiple apps to do the same thing....

Battery problem on JellyBean

Hi, I'm using a Galaxy S Advance with 4.1.2 XXLPZ + ThunderZap Reloaded 3.5, and i have a big problem with my battery.
Battery in my i9070 sometimes dropping for example from 50% to 45% in a few seconds. This happens several times on a single charge..
I think it isn't normal.

Sometimes I get 100% to 96% drop...

I also have this on Gingerbread, but on JB it happens more often.

i have the same config and the same problem on battery ... i have dezactivated GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, Auto rotation, Network, Sincronization and i have the luminosity on very low... i don't have any chat apps .. only stock ChatON
my CPU config is Max 1GHZ min 200MHz on guvernator : conservative and I/O set on sio
And with all of these my battery life is about 1 day without playing a small game more than 30 min/day

I think the battery is undersized.
If we turn off all features why do we need smart phone?

When i was on gingerbread my battery would last about two days if phone was not used much.If i left fone overnight and wake up in the morning,the battery drop would b 1% or sometimes same as i left b4!!
But since i upgraded to jellybean,my battery dsnt even last a day.Overnight drop is about 25-30%(huge from before).
Do u guys also hv the same prob?
I am rooted and using tz 3.5(same prob was there on stock jb also,so i dont think its the kernel).
I am a hardcore battery saver(haha,i use total black wallpaper as i heard amoled screen dsnt consume power to show black,lowest brightness,swtich off wifi/gps/bluetotth etc when not in use)but still my battery dsnt last long enuf as it did in gb.
So is there a solution to this,or its the way jb is and nothing can be done
PS:- I read about battery calibration in the forums,and did it but it dint change nything.

Another thing I have found to help save battery with JB:
Enable JIT: echo "dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit" >>/system/build.prop
Also: remove Samsung bloatware - some of them get started in the background and consume power.

Battery Issues & Testing
Till now jellybean for me on this device has been great.... works like a charm... first thing go to developers mode enable it and set background apps to 1 , 2, 3 or 4 which ever pleases you it clears all background apps which you dont wana use! next thing clear out all samsung bloatware junk if your rooted thats goana help alot, also the final thing if your not a big fan of high colours so lower your brightness level... follow these points and everything is perfect and dandy

i found some apps that work for me and made my phone smother and faster but needs root acces and 10 minutes time for configurate them, the apps are :
Pimp my ROM (Alpha) this need to be configurated as you like
SGS Touchscreen Booster set preset "super optimized" and check "start service at boot"
Memory Optimizer(Root) set as fast mode and then appy
After all setting restart the phone
Here you have my build.prop is from XXLPZ version with Thunderzap 3.5 kernel and Pimp My Rom installed so if you have these you can use it but i recomand to back up your own build.prop
P.S. I'm not responsable if will not work for you... you will need to install after that Sony BRAVIA Engine 2 and xLoud & ClearAudio+ for these only go to APPS & MODS then to each app after only click on each install but dont restart after that enter recovery mod and you will have in the sdcard a folder named pymp my rom there you'll find the zip packages install them after that reboot
