[Q] Tab 8.9 slow with every ROM I try - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hi all,
I've had my tab 8.9 WiFi from the beginning and have never really been a big fan because of the lag it produces. It has been laying on a shelf for a long time, but this week I decided to look on xda and maybe make this thing workable again.
I have tried CM 10.2 / 11 and the nameless ROM, but this thing keeps lagging!
Opening chrome takes 2 to 3 seconds, scrolling is not smooth everywhere. It's just not funny anymore. Even clash of clans or boom beach is lagging so much that it is unplayable.
When installing the ROM I wiped dalvik, cash and do several factory resets. Even changed dalvik to art, but also no luck. Locked the CPU at 1400 MHz, still not working.
How do I get an smooth tab 8.9????

That is not an option. Apparantly p7310 devices have the brickbug.

Tough luck. Lagging was the #1 reason I sold my 7310. Watching devices as old as the Galaxy S1 managing HD videos without hiccups, and then watching the tablet struggle even with YouTube HD videos was a revelation that I made an error trusting a nVidia SoC...again. It was a real shame as I loved the screen size. I hope you find either a solution and/or eventually a better device.

I haven't been using the tab that much and the time I did the 'lag' was noticable, but hell... i bought it for a real good price at the time. So I said to myself, you can't have it all
After laying on a shelf for quite some time I wanted to start using it again, now kitkat is out for this device. But being used to a Nexus 5 I started to really get annoyed by the lag. Tried several roms, clearing cash and formatting things, ramped up the cpu to 1400 and now it is bearable but still noticable some times. A game like Boom Beach is still very slow, while the requirements of the game are the same as the tab.
After reading the faq of lagfix I ran a benchmark. These are the results, and I have a feeling I found the problem:
Is it me or is this just way too slow?

It is way too slow. It is kinda sad because that LagFix app solves that issue and bumps up those numbers. I once had similar numbers for my GS3 until I found that app.

Hmm, but LagFix will brick (or may brick) my device? Bricking it will render it completely useless right?
Any thoughts on another solution?

It is very hard to say. Have you checked (searched) the thread for brick reports?
Hmm...have a nandroid backup ready, then flash this and test.
What is that? This (quote grabbed from here):
*snip*...a completely different, lightweight and efficient random number generator called Havege . This sharply reduces cpu consumption and corresponding battery life loss compared to Seeder. It also does a better job at keeping entropy levels high hence your device is more responsive. It doesn't run in a CPU intensive loop either.

Not one brick report, but BrickBug says the chip inside is KNOWN to brick. There is just one mention (see my previous post) of the p7310/p7300.
Edit:
Okay, flashed the zip and installed the app:
Current Random Entropy Value = 4090
Not really sure what that means?

Ah, no, not seeing any results... the lag is still there.
I guesse that's it? 'This eMMC chip is *known* to have the brick bug!' means it's probably 100% sure I'll brick my tab when running Lagfix?

Hard to say. If you do venture and use the app and it bricks your tablet, it's not my responsibility. It's a 50/50 situation where you may or may not brick. As I said I ran out of ideas for your tablet lag issue. Best of lucks!

More like their old devices. At least my GS3 has gone strong, but their latest products...eh. Sorry I can't be of any further help.

I too experience bad lag with jelly bean custom roms. Honestly I gave up and went back to ICS. I am using the "ultra" stock based ROM and it performs pretty well.

You won't brick the tab using lagfix. Trim is not supported on our device. Our tab is affected by the brickbug but it's already patched by Samsung with the rollout of official ICS packages. I have done several factory resets using the stock recovery.
IMHO, all post-ICS roms are laggy and buggy. I never had problems with stock ICS. Just put the right combination of tweaks in there and it will be buttery smooth even w/out overclocking.

I totally agree. Our tab does not support trim and brickbug has been fixed. Currently using stock ics ultra by OmarEinea and works perfectly. I disabled animations and use nova launcher with all animations set to lightning fast and I have no problems. Few glitches here and there but its expected.

Quite sad things did not get better after I sold the device. I still remember that ICS ROM by motley and Team Galaxian Soup, it was the best running ROM for my P7310 back when. Also it's quite sad the NAND in these doesn't support trimming as that would have given it a serious boost in smoothness.

Yes, that's the bad part about it, tab has no TRIM support. In any case, I usually get around this limitation by using the stock recovery's format function (factory reset) as it wipes the device clean.

Sorry for bursting your bubble but that's not a replacement for trimming, we're talking about flash memory "defragmentation" and that doesn't go away with any formatting. Otherwise my other devices would still be running like new and the LagFix app would've done nothing to speed things up in the I/O department.

Anyone here used V6-Supercharger on their D3?

I'm itching to install it but I'd like to hear from some people who have used it first.
I'd advise against it.
No need, since no weak memory allocation and management like the DX2.
I did it worked had to get correct busybox version couldn't tell if anything really happened but why the avoid krazy?

Have you rebooted your device? If not give that a go, and tell me how it works out for you.
I didn’t' even execute any options with the script and it cause me to bootloop once I rebooted, and someone else experienced the same.
I did bootlooped factory rest got my stuff back re-supercharged and works fine I even did a reboot after 30mins and still worked

I figured as much, but I am getting a pretty decent amount of lag, even after fully removing bloatware (about 32 apps total). I don't see how people are claiming 200mb free. Even after bloatware removal, I still only have 80-130 free at any given time, and I personally hate using an app-killer.
Don't get me wrong, I do know that Android will try and use up any memory that is free and that having a low number of RAM available isn't a bad thing. But, as I stated earlier, I am experiencing a good amount of lag from time to time (mainly due to my widgets I would assume).
I did a factory reset and a battery pull 2 days ago, and the boot-up process is twice as fast now...just as it was when I first bought the phone. But the lag is still present, and the REDRAWING is driving me absolutely insane.

Yeah. That was me. I did run the script though. It didn't even get past the Droid part of the boot animation. A factory reset will fix it, and you'll still have root after.

not true; v6 is for all android OS released so far. It was specifically developed for Gingerbread, but works well on Froyo also.
BUT: There are still conflicting reports that changes it makes in the /system folder may cause problems with the D3, so until an .sbf is available, i'd proceed with great caution doing ANYTHING to the D3 that is not entirely in userspace.
I removed most of the bloat I was comfortable pulling off... but I must say the biggest jump in responsiveness has been from tweaking the build.prop to increase the events per second (I'm at 120) and VM memory (64m).
Please, err on the side of caution right now as we have no sbf, no clockwork recovery. I had to sbf my D2 enough times playing with things I didn't think had a chance of breaking it, that did, that I'm very careful what I poke at on my daily driver, and urge you to as well

4.2 more like 4.0 than 4.1

Hi all anyone else noticed that the 4.2 update seems to make the N7 worse not better compared to 4.1.2. To me it feels like a step back compared to the speed of Jelly Bean 4.1. It's like project Butter never happened to my device
I've seen a few scattered reports wondering if everyone is seeing this, for instance start up NFS:MW then switch to say Gmail or any other app, the entire thing starts to crawl for me. Problem wasn't present in 4.1.2
Considering reflashing but cant see that making a massive difference I did a full wipe before upgrading.
Thoughts all?
I am still on 4.1 with paranoid..will wait about a few weeks to read how is working..i am happy with curent setup so dont see to rush something "unknown" ..and i see that Bluetooth native tethering does not work which i use for connecting with my phone internet.

AHH now then, I've got 2 additional user accounts setup, 3 in total.. Could that be the issue, android is monitoring these other accounts even when not in use. I have two accounts with full access and another account sat at welcome.
Anyone else confirm that if you have multiple user accounts the N7 becomes sluggish switching apps?

I'll go out on a sturdy limb here and say.. Because it's the factory image provided by manufacture of the OS? That would seem like a right thing to do huh? Just like when you want to start fresh with Windows you wipe your drive and install via the factory image (DVD in Windows case).. It's 100% of the time a sure fire method the installation you have is the installation the manufacture intended.. Sometimes updates don't turn out all peachy and full of rainbows like they are intended to be.. So, some people take this into consideration and opt for a fresh install instead.

And there is nothing wrong with that. I agree with you.. 4.2 is a step backwards in Android development by a lot.. 4.2 spent 30 entire minutes on my device before I re-partitioned it back to a 4.1.2 file system (getting rid of the user account folder tree) and put 4.1.2 back on it and it'll stay that way until development catches up.

yup i like playing NS:MW and last night after the update the game slowed and stuttered like i was playing resident evil 4 on windows 95.
i think everyone soon will stop making ways to get to 4.2 and start concentrating on a guide for reverting back to 4.1 lmao
4.2 things i dont think i like:
the "edit" look lockscreen with 1 clock number bigger
the effects on games
no otg usb yet
the double notications windows
the update stole my working video cam effects and added a non-working photo-sphere mode....great

Agreed it does feel a bit slower. Opening apps and transitions don't feel as smooth as 4.1
Sent from my SGH-I747 using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah it is a bit slower, no doubt. It's not just you. Hopefully 4.2.1 brings back the speed.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
4.2 certainly "feels" slower to me. The transition on the running apps seems different but I can't tell if it has been updated or is just happening fractionally slower so I'm noticing the transition more. I notice that you get the screenshot and then fractionally later the icon slides in from the left. Has this always happened?
Certainly when tapping the power button to turn off the screen it seems to fade slower and the click noise happens fractionally later than I would expect, which suggests it is just a performance issue.
I have added one new user profile account which I suspect is part of the issue. Pretty happy with the update but roll on 4.2.1

It is definitely slower while the screen is turning off. I suspect adding another user has got something to do with the performance degradation. I really hope 4.2.1 solves these issues.

Hey, just a heads up on my experience with JB/UltimateN7000. My advice is don't do it..
I had the latest ICS stock German version with root, and mostly everything was acceptable. Default Samsung home screen was very smooth at first, but as I install apps (about 20 apps, no games) and use it more, it gets slow after about a week. Then I install Nova Launcher, and it's much better (smoother and responsive) than the Samsung launcher, but it feels slow time by time as if the device is already showing it's age. (I bought this for $600 in April 2012, and it already has 3 tiny cracks on the thin rim that wraps the screen, never been dropped, no scratches anywhere.)
I keep hearing about how JellyBean is wonderful and all, the awesome project Butter, and that it's going to be the true cure to make everything fast and smooth, competitive enough against Windows Phone and iPhone.
This is the same promise that ICS had when we were on Gingerbread. Lack of hardware acceleration on the graphics was the explanation back then. Even after ICS, it's still not as smooth as the competitors even with superior hardware.
I installed this XXLSC based Ultimate N7000 (had stock leaked JelleyBean for couple days before), I'm sorry to say this, but the performance really sucks. I understand that it could be due to this being a leaked ROM, but I'm kind of worried about this device's future. I wonder how are you guys are using your devices with leaked JellyBean.
What's with the lock screen, the overwhelming ink drop effect? The hardware is clearly lacking, but why are they (Samsung) trying to shove stuff in?
What's with the the pull down (notification) menus' small buttons on the top - springing back every single time wasting CPU cycles?
The dialer still takes 2-3 seconds to pull up. Opening contacts, or switching to recent call history tab makes me hesitate because it takes so damn long. This was a problem also in ICS.
Did you guys try the Camera app? Try taking a picture, and then try to review the picture you just taken. How long does it take? Mine takes about 30 seconds, and it lags horribly while doing all that. Now try that on a iPhone, it takes less than 10 seconds, and no stutter at all. (No, I hate iPhone's closed eco system so no thanks.)
It's like playing a FPS shooter game with high quality graphics/every effect enabled but only at 15 FPS, when it could play 30 FPS with lower graphics quality/effects. (I would much prefer at least 60 FPS though.)
I'm going back to my ICS stock backup for now, and maybe later on when Samsung releases JellyBean, and some developer makes a lean version, or do it myself, and I'll try it again.
It's just sad to see that a relatively powerful dual core phone is too slow to function satisfactory these days.
Lastly, thanks to the developers, and sorry for the vent. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to mock you or anything. I really do appreciate you and every other developers out there.

Although at first when I downloaded Bakery Story it seemed to have a lag like a wounded turtle crawls which made me doubt that my device is starting to suck but after when I downloaded Restaurant Story I had the same thing in front of me which made it certain that my Raider 4G is innocent. I have read a thread on the storm8 forum but there nothing or no one seems to be willing to resolve what's occuring. These are interesting games but wonder what is causing them to lag.

What rom are you currently running

No rom, completely stock.
I'd blame poor memory management in ICS...
You can try raising your minfrees...
Any of the kernel tuning apps will let you...
If not that... Then its the 1.2ghz CPU clock speed...
I don't see why you wouldn't be running PAC or are you holding out for the return of cm?

My laptop's motherboard fired up a couple of months back and I haven't been able to get that replaced since, I don't have any other system in spare that I can use so I can't flash anything at the moment.
I've read in a thread that these games are not optimized for dual core processor phones yet, no word from TeamLava. Convinced me to believe that?
And from 'raising minfrees', what exactly do you mean?

It would affect androids low memory killer...
Get kernel tuner...
Look for either minfree or OOM on the main screen..
Choose either aggressive or very aggressive...
Try your game...
Hopefully your rooted... Or else this prolly won't work

Yup, there's an issue with their games.
Tried setting the OOM to very aggresive, same thing.
Edit: Playing it on my sister's Acer Iconia B1-A71 with stock Jellybean (4.1.2) and it works like a charm!
So it seams there's something seriously wrong with the stock ICS with HTC Sense, it really sucks because the Iconia also has a dual core processor and this game works great on it.
Although on my Raider, while the game is on, I press the back button of the capacitive phone buttons and the screen displays a dialogue saying 'Are you sure you want to quit this game?', and while I look back in the game, everything runs silky smooth. This is strange.

Does this mean I need a new rom?

[Q] Gaming lag

A few days ago I upgraded from the Note 3 to the Nexus 6 (LRX22C - Tmobile). I have a handful of games that I love to play like Madden NFL and Brave Frontier. These games worked flawlessly on my less powerful Note 3. For whatever reason, these games lag like hell on the N6 and its driving me nuts.
I have already rooted and disabled the forced encryption and it made no difference so that isnt the cause. I have a feeling there is something going on with either Adreno or ART compatibility.
Is there any way I can fix this performance lag in games? I'm sort of ticked I just spent all this money and have a less powerful device. It feels like I was falsely advertised or something...
:crying:
*** Update ***
I have taken the liberty to put on a custom ROM to test with. With any luck the games will start working as expected. I'll post back my results everyone. Wish me luck!
*** Update ***
On the Euphoria ROM its a little bit better, It still lags but not as much, so its a step in the right direction. I'll test some other stuff and let you guys know. FYI this was tested on Madden.

You do realize that we have already done that with custom Roms and kernels

Yes I figured as much but by 20 pages into the post I had not seen negative results, so I figured I would try it on my device which is having the trouble to see if the ROM helped. I still havent found a solution though.

I've went about it ROM side and RIPng went about it kernel side and we found that the problem is the apps themselves. Doing too much GPU on the main thread, all kinds of issues in the game code calling the wrong APIs
Shoot

Well thanks for the heads up man. That sucks but it is what it is right? I bet that's whats killing the battery so fast too then.

I know testing magic 2015, it hung in the background still using up CPU like I was still playing it so I wouldn't be surprised that the other games would be chewing up battery too. During the preview, apps that weren't updated for it, lagged and chewed up the battery.
I figured we would run into the same issues with the nexus 6 before I even bought it because the other devices still have some backwards compatibility with kit Kat even though they are on lollipop now. A new device is started clean and tailored specifically for the firmware they are made for

Yeah I just wonder how long its going to be before vendors get on board cause I enjoy games in my spare time.
