Man, this worked really nice for me, I can now do Temple Run 2 with no lag - Running AOSP

Just so you know, disabling journaling means there may be data loss with unexpected shutdowns (e.g. the key combination to hard power, OS crashes, etc), which can corrupt files, including the OS if it was mounted as r/w (not by default).

I remember back in 2010 when this was big on the Samsung Moment. I was pretty much placebo on that phone. I wouldn't bother.

Same thing on the Defy -- while it helped a tiny bit, wasn't worth doing cause of safety concerns and system data loss\file system corruption. When you can't format your file system, you don't want to corrupt it (locked bootloader problems).

phone is getting slower

Hi guys. I'm using cm mods for like 2 years. But it seems that it's getting slower and slower. I guess the new apps need more ram or something. Is there any way I can make my i9000 faster? Should I go back to gingerbread? Or any rom you can suggest for faster use?
It's really annoying to use the phone lately. Always lag.

this is normal if you're on JB , try wipe dalvik-cache and use greenify
Its the rom. Greenify will help but my suggestion is to flash a new rom try gamerzrom no slownes nothing just speed

For my phone helped me wipe cache/dalvik cache/fix permissions and factory reset... After these wipes my rom runs fast and smooth but after 2-3 months I need to do it again because the phone getting slower again Try it if you want I hope this can help you
I just use CM7.2 stable and no lag plus I can use chainfire3D in some games which gives them an extra boost... not sure if chainfire3D is compatible with any other version
I am using GamerzROM and the Fly-On Script and I can tell that it's super smooth. I also ticked GPU Rendering in Developer options, it seems to me that it makes scrolling so much smoother and basically everything is working fast.
Thanks for recommends. I installed gamerzrom and it's really good. I mean it's like i bought a new phone. I hope it won't do lag again after a week or so. If it will, then I'll try to add fly-on script I guess.
What is the difference between gamerzrom and CM???

Basically nothing. It's a rom with a modification of stock cm I guess. But very fast (compare to stock cm).

solution to reduce the lag on your GT7.7

WARNING -- you may try this on Jelly bean only, as ICS and HC are not protected and might lead to BRICK bug
Hey All
I noticed that after we made a factory reset our device is extremely fluid fast and smooth
but after couple of days it starts to lag, and continue to lag more and more.
I found that the problem is Storage performance is decreasing overtime due to not wiping and trimming the blocks that we don't use.
This is a famous problem and discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971852#fm
even google fixed it on Android 4.3
Just try this application and tell me, how did you find you device state now?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en
and you can benchmark it before and after
Thanks all
WARNING -- BRICK-BUG
OP, for certain devices, the app developer has stated BrickBug means DEATH of your device if you try LagFix!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37029420&postcount=122#fm
There maybe users with SGT 7.7 models still running stock HC/ICS kernel (edit: unpatched) and recovery, so potentially at risk.

do you think it might happen for me too? should i remove the thread?

As far as I'm aware, JB is not faced with the brick bug. I was warning about previous Android versions. Have a read of the XDA thread I linked, can explain things better than I ever could.
No, I think this thread is ok, but maybe make reference to JB only in thread title etc and possible brick warning if used with other.
Edit: I see you put a warning in OP, thanks.

for real, and i tried it several time, it restores the speed of the device to the day i made factory reset.
it's not placebo and i benchmarked before and after, and the topic above also shows benchmarking.
and even reviews of Android 4.3 talks about trimming and how he removed sluggish from N7 first Generation.
Anyone with JB are welcome to try it.
I miss PA android BTW and the feel of nexus on my device
when Android 4.3 based ROMS are out, I will flash it.

Doesn't work
Im on stock ICS 4.0.4 XXLQ2, rooted, with custom EZYKernel XXLQ1, no brick bug.
LagFix doesn't work because

My friend, you have "b**ls of steel" (if you're a guy). I'm not entirely sure his kernel is entirely safe. In addition to removing the "mmc cap erase", there needs to have a patch applied as well.

Yes I am male with b**ls of steel and i raped my P6800 many times. I know what I am doing and i'm familiar with my hard and software.
If your Kernel is avaliable with 3G Support, I'll give it a try. My P6800 is my every day Phone/Multimedia device and act also as a laptop replacement, with native Debian on it.
If I wreck it, it was my failure and I didn't cry for my mom
I must say, I tried your app for fun because I don't have any lags on my device. I have no need for "Project Butter", I use ADW Launcher ex, 268 Apps for IT Administration, Produktivity, Games, Multimedia. If I feel an app opens slowly it's time for "fschk" the Partitions. After that everything works fast and smooth as before.

Not this again..... :beer:
BTW: I've never actually factory reset etc using the stock recovery, and suppose never going to get the chance .The app developer also made reference to various bricks using his app caused by brick-bug affected devices.
Samsung themselves have signed off the patch (amongst others), so good enough for me. Just a shame that I don't have the option of using this app (safely) unless I use daniels custom JB ROM.

I've had this program on my P6800 for some time now. It has been a blessing, and even upgraded to the Pro version.
It certainly feels snappy like Jelly Bean was just installed. I've set it to do a trim once a week.

SkyHigh kernel for P6800 is built from official JB MD3 source, and because i don't have JB, I can only assume that it is OK and chips aren't affected.

Basebands Reviews

I made this thread so users who tested basebands to provide some useful reviews (battery backup, performance, bloatware, etc) for every user who want to know which baseband, new or old, has what he`s looking for or the baseband just came up and it`s new and he wants to know about it.
I tested MBM-XXLQI from Macedonia recently and all I have to say it brings nothing new about battery backup on the contrary it seems worse than DDULP8 from India or XXLQG-ITV from Italy, and in addition it has a lot more bloatware too.
I am going to test the new VSLPA from Argentina(moviestar) to see what it brings new as it has the latest build date and changelist, and I`ll provide a review in a day or two. You are free to do the same as we may have different opinions.
I am using VSLPA from Argentina from 1 day now and I have to say it provides the best battery backup till now, only 1% consumed over the night.
About performance, it`s pretty much like the other firmwares, tough i notice that lag is slightly reduced in this one or it may be placebo effect, don`t know yet.
Go try it yourself and report back to see if you have a different opinion from mine
I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use
Sry for the way I express myself but english is not my native language

This is as if you were explaining you saw a ghost.
Are you sure about this? Cause I heard similar things for previous FWs before, even though they all lagged like hell.
And 7 hours ago you were saying the opposite, how's that possible? What exactly fixed it, when it was the same when you first tried it?
Anyways I'm on GB now, got burned once and now I want to be sure if it's really lag free before I upgrade.
in sammobile, some of the firmwares are made for some particular carriers.Is it safe to flash that carrier basrd firmwires??

If your device is network free(meaning that another carrier sym is working) you can flash any firmware you want for our device with odin. Juat download it from samsung-updates, unrar it, put the tar file in pda section of odin and hi start.

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Why would you want to downgrade? First read guide about Odin and then go and read Harshjelly thread first then flash his rom and from there on should be easier to learn about governors,I/O schedulers,kernel etc. After you think you have a good knowledge base and you`re still not happy with you`re android you can move on to CyanogenMod 10.1 of Team Canjica(19.10 nightly is the most stable version).

Thanks, but been there, done that. All I'm saying is that I doubt it's lag free, I did try various firmwares, kernels and stuff but 5 sec delay when opening apps and lag in games, videos, UI is so bad that it's unbearable. That's why I had to downgrade, which is a much complicated process which frankly I don't want to repeat. That's why I want to make sure the new firmware is lag and delay free before I upgrade again.
And I'm pretty sure JB isn't supposed to be that bad, despite the fact that S Advance isn't much of a phone.

In cyanogenmod you wont encounter any kind of lag. So you can flash VSLPA via odin then flash cwm temporary make a backup then root it play with it a day or two and see how it goes and if you dont like it restore from backup then flash cyanogendmod 10.1 and i guarantee that you wont encounter any kind of lag there.
And btw id you want to thank me for any help just hit Thanks button and I`ll know

I think this may be the rom that will hit over the 3k barrier. at the moment hitting constant 29XX mark in quadrant even with first 3D test staying on avg between 40-60FPS, 38-44FPS 2nd 3D and 23-25FPS on last 3D.
My Setup
Gapps: Banks Min 4.4 7/29/14 build
Runtime: Art
CPU Freq: 1.4Ghz 1.2mV
Govener: Ondemand
I/O Sch: SiO
Additional Tweaks
Malive Booster v2.0
Flashable Seeder by ryu found in seeder op
Hyper Cola v1.6
Once again , Thanks @jfbs for another treat.
To others who are curious, this rom is stacked feature wise, responsive and impressive
Flashed this earlier today and I agree with @det0xx, this ROM has some great customization features and is very responsive!
I've only noticed a few bugs here and there (long pressing location tile doesn't navigate to location menu, needed to re-check and then un-check to disable flip tile effect, unable to remove torch tile), but nothing major. Overall, this is one impressive ROM! Great job @jfbs!
One bug I have is the lockscreen wallpaper disappears and stays black. Did a fresh install, not a major issue, just wanted to report it. Thanks for the rom, really nice.

odd i haven't got that issue or at least not yet. Mind giving more feedback as to
Gapps used/using: List all the ones you have tried only that has this issue. CM, PA, Banks, and/or etc. vers such as 4.4.2 -.4 and build date.
Theme: default or 3rd party if 3rd party link or name of theme
Wallpaper: used gallery or 3rd party app to set it.
Runtime: Art or dalvik
Gapps: banks standard 4.4.4 7-24 build, standard theme. Wallpaper set through gallery, dalvik runtime. The problem seems to come and go. I'm not really concerned with it as at the moment I'm using this device as a media player. If nobody else is having the issue maybe I messed something up when adjusting my settings. When I have the chance I will see if I can sort it out.

Sorry for the delayed reply been tweaking to hit a constant and stable 3k benchmark. at 2950-98 atm for constant and stable. i've hit 3k just recently however phone becomes unstable. if your phone can handle 1.5ghz oc without problems then the 3k is already possible but battery life i'd assume would drop quite a bit. i've also hit unstable 3k using 1.4ghz and tweaking some settings but haven't messed with it much yet. anyways as far as your issue. yeah it has me stumped without physically seeing everything. If your not worried about and at least to my knowledge no one else is having the same issue. let us know if you do figure out what it is that is causing it.
I got my issue resolved. I'm not sure what caused it, but I fixed it by re-flashing the rom.

prolly just flashed without wiping davlik and not 1 zip at a time per a reboot.
I used this ROM on my s4, it is a really nice ROM. Think I will pull out the exhibit and give it a try.
Well this rom is awesome.
And I finally figured out what I did wrong when trying jfbs's roms. It turns out I was not always loading just one zip at a time, and not leaving it alone long enough after booting the rom.
This time I left it be but with the settings screen on and CPU overlay enabled in developer options so I could tell when it finally stopped thrashing the IO subsystem in the phone (over 90% usage in the overlay, showed blue for a good 20 minutes).
So far so good! Been running it now for a day and no major issues.
Though one niggling thing is no way to adjust the hard buttons back light. I prefer to have it always on with the screen instead of timing out after 5 seconds.

if you really want to get the most follow my oc guide in general op. Note battery life decreases past stock voltage. however higher frequency does not. i would also recommend waiting til you try the phone for a little bit before overclocking. however if you want better battery life and lower cpu temps now without sacrificing performance you can always undervolt the cpu for stock frequency. Stock if i remember correctly is 1ghz at 1.2mV i know almost if not everyone using the galaxy w (which is where most of our stuff comes from) can run 1ghz at 1.1mV as far as i know all our exhibits can as well. I could be wrong but at least from others and my own experience 1.1mV works flawlessly for 1ghz. as far as flashing a kernel to do it with jfbs roms you dont need to flash anything with cars1198's roms you do. Also i would not recommend starting at 1.1mV as a starting point.
EDIT: @jfbs so been running this rom for some time now and i can honestly say this beats AOIP by a long shot now. rock solid, still constant 29xx .8%hr sleep, 24%hr (max 4hr15mins) at stress test usage oc'd at 1.4ghz @ 1.2mV. No rom/kernel sided bugs encountered.

Nexus 6 Encryption

From reading various threads on xda the majority say it's better to un-crypt it. can someone just explain to me is it worth it ? and how to do it. Thanks

In daily performance it doesn`t make much difference, when dealing with large files it makes a bigger difference as i noticed.
Just unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash a custom kernel that doesn`t fore encryption and fastboot format userdata and cache and flash cache cache.img and reboot. That should do it.
Coming from a Moto X 2014, I noticed enough screen lag and delayed touch response and momentary freezing to look for a solution. I ended up resetting and reflashing with a Kernel only modified to remove default encryption. No regrets for the effort, the overall usability improvements are worth it.
