[Q] The background is taking control of my phone

hey,
iv'e replaced my rom last week from pilotx 4 to miui mint berry+glitch 13 kernel
now everything goes fantastic
but, like allways there is a but
every time that i run a game the background from the desktop is taking control on the view i mean i can play the game but but it's like that i have a layer of my background in 50% transparency on the game for example:rainbow six
that thing happens only on hd gameloft games
if it helps someone to know

reflashed everything by those steps:
1.recovery>mounts & storage>format data,system,cache
2.install from zip file>the mint berry rom
reboot my phone and finish the self installer that starts on the first boot
3.recovery>install from zip file>ultimate kernel cleaning script(cm7/miui version)
4.install from zip file>glitch kernel>reboot my phone
5.pimp my cpu>oc to 1200 mhz
by the way thats also what i did in the first time i've flashed miui
i had pilotx 4 before with speedmod kernel, it was a lame but a least the games worked, now it's like i'm trying to play gta iv with onboard graphic card,
and still the same situation after i've reflashed it,
woolf clubs, if you can post it there that will be great,
until finally i've found custom rom that i'm not cursing it
it's not working well,
dam* you murphy...

Will do mate. The accelerometer is pump on cm7 based roms anyway.
Check out mintberry thread.

weird maximum CPU running

model: SGS international GT-I9000
due to corrently hot topic ICS on air everywhere
so im going go give it a try
at the first whn im on 1.12.30miui rom with glitch kernel, i upgrade to OneCosmic 2.11 with glitch kernel too, i realize that my phone is hot, after that i use all the check what happen with my cpu keep running on max speed for few hours for DRM, Media storage and download manager...
after 1day of using on 2.11 i feel like not hitting my target of lagfree, so im changing bk to miui 1.12.30 and after boot up, i get the same thing happen again, my cpu keep running on max speed for same, seem like it keep running on scanning media storage.
i just want to know why it keep running like thay, can anyone give me a answer? or is it because of gallery＋?
SGS GT-I9000 OneCosmic latest build!

onecosmic is still in beta is not final ics so there's bug, because the cpu heat is forced because of such applications that are open gallery

Very slow Galaxy S

I have galaxy s since last one year and i love it... However my phone has become very slow these days.. I tried several roms and kernels.. Formatted both internal and external SD cards... But still it is very slow... I remember that I dropped it 3-4 times... Is it because of it?
Can someone suggest me please... What should I do...

Maybe over clock it ...? I thought the new ROMs would have helped. It could be the fact that your phone is older now and some internal hardware has been worn out

Can I do anything related to the hardware? I mean how can i check if it is not giving 100%?

I'm no expert so I'm not sure. Best bet would be to replace the hardware which Costs a ton of money. Its better to just a get a new phone. Either that or maybe mess around with new ROMs some more. Maybe you are wiping your phone incorrectly or maybe you use it too much

my suggest...
1. update your firmware to last version (2.3.6).
2. try to change kernel and custom rom.
3. maybe, with some different kernel and custom rom, you can choice the better option for your device. for example, try using kernel semaphore (gingerbread) and custom rom F1 or other.

I would be very surprised if physical trauma has simply caused a slow-down in speed. It would more likely show itself as random reboots and other more obvious symptoms.
Much like Windows, after a lot of use, it slows down - you have said that you've flashed other roms, maybe you just haven't come across a good one; there are after all a lot of different ones...
I would suggest the deodex-ed / rooted stock rom from RAMAD Gingerbread JVT. As I remember it was always quite stable and fast.
The hardware components inside a modern phone will not wear-out after a year - they are not moving parts! - when ram or a processor wears out it usually results in total system crashing not just a slow down.

Thank you all for your feedbacks and suggestions. I use my phone a lot. Usually i use TV out a lot as i do not have a cable connection in my hostel room. I use my phone a lot. I flashed it atleast more than 100 times. I have not seen any reboots, crashed , soft reboots etc very often. When i use MIUI rom my phone is very fast indeed however , it does not have a TV Out and therefore i have to use a stock based rom.. i will try Rammad's GB Rom as per your suggestion and will report back. As i told you that i dropped it a couple of times, is it possible that any of the Internal components have become loose?

Have you ever tried Advanced task killer? Or even killed tasks?

Did you try the ics roms. These r pretty fast..specially team icssgs.

Try ICSSGS RC 4.2. I had the same situation as you. It was fine for one year and I was using Darky rom by that time. Suddenly I started feeling that my phone is too slow. Lot of stuck. Sometimes I had to remove battery just to restart.
Now running above ICS rom with Devil 14.2 Kernel its rocking ...

yeah I'd suggest u the advanced taskkiller too
in options you can set the auto killlevel to safe, so that it kills smth like games in the background but not important apps
since then my phone is quite fast even with stockrom

Yeah, and you can just use the ATK widget when you close out of something press the icon and it kills all the background apps...

I will surely try ATK and ICS roms as per your suggestions...

keep us updated...

Just get stock jw1, flash with reparation to wipe everything, then do a factory reset via secret dial code. Now install semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Dl superuser to get root. Now install thunderbolt tweaks the main package and the 60lmk other addon(read thread how to) . This is the best setup i can think of in terms of speed bat life and functionality. Next step look in pikachus Android optimization thread and remove the bloatware listed there, basically remove as much bloat as possible. Enjoy ur fast phone.

Perhaps you should try the ICSSGS RC4.2 with Devil 14.2 LED VC Kernel. I'm on it and its awesome, my phone lags no more and I'm using it for my primary phone.

[Q] Having issues. Make me not hate my phone please!

Boyfriend (more technically apt than I, however, currently unavailable) helped me root and install a new rom on this POS and am still having issues (running [ROM][JB][4.1.2]Slimbean 3.1.0 Unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G by camcory)
Issues I have are as follows:
- Constantly having to use a task manager to kill apps that constantly start and restart so nearly all my memory is being used and phone is laggy as all get out. (Consequently, anytime I try to open an app, it takes AGES before it starts..including my contacts or msging...any app in general)
- Randomly (and sadly, not consistently) when I plug in headphones, music player starts on its own. Have to kill multiple times as every time I kill it it starts again until I reboot phone out of frustration. Only solution at moment was to delete all mp3s I had on my phone and remove music player (which sucks, cause I would like to be able to listen to my music on my phone...).
- When I use Pandora, Google voice search starts on it's own. I have to kill it multiple times as it keeps restarting, before I have to reboot phone out of frustration and that tends to take care of the problem..again, temporary (and annoying) solution.
- Curious, when I bought phone, it was partitioned (or so it appeared) so there was USB storage, SD storage, and then external SD. Even after installing new ROM, a lot of files that were on the phones internal SD storage remained, wondering if there's a way to wipe that so there's not duplicate files laying around, or files that are no longer necessary as they were part of the original phone's system, or if these are files that should remain on the phone for some purpose.
Also, in general, not terribly pleased with the look of this ROM. I really enjoyed the look and some of the default apps that came on the phone (the msging and contacts especially) when I bought it. Any recommendations as to possible ROMs that would be similar to the stock, yet not as craptastic, would be much appreciated.
Any and all help is much appreciated!

ITry Linero either version with formula84 gapps and either PoweredbyEvil v1 or DemonsBlood v8 over clocked max 1612 smoothass gov SIO io and set oom and minfree to strict in ROM toolbox. Use pimp my ROM for additional tweaks such as entropy sdcard tweaks all and carefully read memory tweaks
This benches and runs smooth with zero lag for me.
No problems with music or headsets. I deleted Apollo with ROM toolbox and installed fusion.
Memory is 168 free on average without using task manager due to tweaks in pimp my ROM and ROM toolbox.
I don't use Pandora but have yet to have Google now open when opening other apps
If inserted sdcard then you have the proper storage. The partition is for boot and internal then sdcard is external
Note that I use swapsd included in linero so my internal is really now external as most all goes by default to internal when installed so with a 32gig card I don't worry
When flashing ROM wipe cache + dalvik cache + system + factory reset + internal storage and I also wipe android secure. Be sure files you want saved is on sdcard along with ROM + gapps to be flashed.

Finally having a moment to look over everything and give it a shot today. Fingers crossed I don't brick it
Do you have any recommendations for launchers/themes? I was really keen with the look of the stock theme that came on the phone. The hololauncher that came with slimbean and the default theme I was not terribly keen with.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it all pans out!

I personally use jellybean extreme cm10 and love it. Have tried many but always go back. I use the blue one as it is near black and updates is often and very well supported. It is a paid theme but worth it imo

So I've done all as you said except for the pimp my rom just yet (battery started dying and I couldn't bother to be tethered to the charger while I worked ). As it is, it seems a bit faster, and I've yet to run into the bugs that I had previously (but that's always how it is in the honeymoon stage). Am trying to stay optimistic.
I am dying for the old messaging, contact list, and alarm clock that stock had, but cest la vie I spose. I'll have to nose around in the future and see what's out there.
Thanks for all your help

So I installed and all seemed to be going well and then I started getting crashes and lockups. So I reverted back to Slimbean that I was running previously. Now most of the apps I had before (even on Slimbean) will not work; "aren't compatible."
I can't for the life of me remember how we bipassed this last time I dropped that ROM on here. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do a factory reset 2 times , wipe ROM 2x and wipe internal SD 2x then flash the ROM again. I recommend causing team win recovery made for our galaxy exhibit. Since of what I read you want jelly bean but a stock feeling I recommend you using remics jbjob rom

You need to change your dpi to 240 and reboot. Then clear cache on Play Store and reboot again. It might take a few app cache wipe/ reboots before your apps come back.

Freezing and rebooting

Hello friends.
I have a Galaxy S 9070 almost 1 year old and he is currently rooted and the Cocore 9.8 TWRP and use Cocore Manager to adjust the kernel options.
From a while now he began to crash randomly, sometimes crashes when squeegee Facebook app, Whatsapp app, in the middle of a video in Youtube app.
It is very annoying having to restart the phone to continue what I was doing!
Could anyone help me figure out what might be happening?

Did you overclocked it? If you did - that is the reason.

Try using CoCore 8.2. And revert settings that you have changed to default and see what happens.
Deepsleep should be 3 or 4, on 5 it gives same result that you are getting. Freez and reboot on some time.

My deepsleep is "3".

Then do first thing I told you before that. Without any customization, and with 8.2 version.

Ok, I'm going to flash to 8.2 cocore and keep the default configuration for testing

I tested version 8.2 with the settings in stock and did not freeze in no time.
But I think this version a bit outdated. Could test a newer version?
I looked today launched a new version of cocore, I think I'll install it and test.
In my archives I also have the 8.3, 8.6 and 9.6.

Try that newest.
8.2 was pretty good. No matter if it is old.

I tried the newest (Cocore E-v10) and still suffering from random freezes, causing the responses to touch are noticeably slower.
At this time I will flashing to version 9.6

Hello friend.
I tested the newest version of the kernel (refresh-r08 @ 14-Jul) and a few days ago that had no reboot.
But before I used the app tweek (cocore manager v2.1 or Kui) and believe they left is that my system unstable, because after that they uninstalled and I started to tweek the command promt using the Busybox my system has become lighter and reliable.
So it leads me to believe the problem was in the app customization.
