[Q] Every rom is extremely laggy, what i can do?

I was wondering why does almost every rom seems to be so slow? Opening screen takes usually 10sec+, opening app lags the hell out of my phone. Seems that it lags more over time. (been rebooting this thing, doesn't help)
What i've done to this device when installed Slim Bean 6:
FULL wipe, /system etc gone
DID NOT RESTORE any backups
Changed DPI to 240
Apps that are running always:
Tasker, Hangout, Facebook messenger, Mail apps, Nova Launcher
I just don't know what to do with this.. Every rom i used has always lagged like hell after little of my usage.

Install nx kernel and tell me if it will smoothen. I also suggest using latest slim

Have been using NX kernel from when it first came out, and i don't think slim version do anything, cause this is also happening on every other rom I used (TW and AOSP) =/
Running out of ideas, i have tried everything i can to help this issue, been over year for now and nothing that is suggested helps =(

There is a new feature in android 4.3 called TRIM support, which has been around since windows 7. It's a feature for solid state drives that enhances the way the os reads deleted or old data. Without trim, drive performance lessens over time.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM
So on our notes, every rom will get slower as the os continues to access data that's already been deleted because it doesn't realise it doesn't have to anymore.
So if a 4.3 rom gets released for the note, grab it!

Current androbench result, I don't see that these are so bad tbh https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2k18210adf5de7/2013-08-06 08.55.31.png
And lagfix, which does TRIM also, has this warning:

here are some devices affected by BrickBug. Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy Note are known to have it. There are also reports that some Acer A210/A211 and LG O2x are affected too. There is a Got Brickbug? app to test your device, but it is only intended for Samsung users. BrickBug means DEATH of your device if you try LagFix! There are some unlucky guys already. In case of brickbug - use warranty and exchange your device. This is a hardware fault and manufacturer is responsible.

My chipset is *know* to have brickbug, but got no way to really comfirm that.

I also feel that I'm facing slowness and laggyness on my note.it is running cm10.1. If we can't use trim support on cm10.2 and if we also can't use lagfix application, then what can help us regain the emmc speed back to original? Some kind of firmware or flash file that will write 0 everywhere? (I know this is not a good idea for life of the emmc).

You don't need trim or other tools to gain back the device performance. Trim and LAgfix and such are only usefull when you want to keep the partition data.
If you don't care about the data, a format of the partition is usually enough.

Thanks Daedric, but doesn't format only reset & write the filesystem data structures but do not actually touch each cell in the eMMC. Therefore, the data on those eMMC cells remain as is and when it's time to write to them, don't the eMMC spend time to erase first & then re-write?
I mean, why does a secure erase or writing 0's everywhere speed up then? Is it placebo?

OK, regarding eMMC and SDD in general i'm not the most wise. When i refered format, i refered unconditional format, and not quick format. (read format.com /U vs format.com /Q)
Regarding the secure erase, it's not placebo. Benchmarks prove it, not just "i feel it faster".
Now, when it comes to the note, i believe only a few partitions are mounted ReadWrite, that will be /data and /cache, don't know about /preload. So, a recovery script that does dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk_where_data_is should clean the partitions.
Yet, i don't know if it will have any effect when running a secure kernel, where secure erase has been disabled.

Hmm, I thought secure_erase works by applying a special command that sends some special voltage to the cells which wipe everything out there. But writing 0's everywhere may not actually be a secure_erase, but I do not know in detail unfortunately.

[Q] Performance Issues on both Stock and CM10.1 ROMs

Hi There
I got my Nook HD+ a couple of months ago, and I've started noticing quite a bit of slowdown in Apps, in particular getting a lot of "xxx isn't responding, do you want to close it - Wait/OK messages.
I've installed various tools to monitor CPU/memory etc but not been able to. Running Cleanmaster to clear memory and caches sometimes seems to give some brief respte, but not for long> I also used Malwarebytes AV and found a trojan dialler, and removal of that againseemed to help for a little while, but the problems came back a few hours later.
I therefore decided to give the CM ROM a try and installed 10.1, and which I really like the interface and woul dlike to carrry on using it, it would seem that the problem is even worse on this version of Android. The basic laucher itself isn't too bad, but applications are barely usable, which initially made me wonder if I've got a hardware problem.
I'm using a Kingston 8GB memory card (I did read somewhere that somebody else had problems with speed on a similar SD card, but as far as I'm aware Kingston should be a decent brand)
I've been reading through the forums about the trim issue, and it would appear I have the MAGDA eMMC which is suseptible to the trim bug, here are the details on my version:
$ su
# cd /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device
# cat name
MAG2GA
# cat manfid
0x000015
# cut -b 19,20 cid
6
# cat date
10/2012
There seems to be a fair amount of debate about wwhether it's safe to try the fstrim fix along with 10.2 on this version of the chip. I'm also wondering if pulling the SD card and trying a hard reset might be worth trying.
Would anybody be able to to offer me some guidance on whether this is likely to be the trim issue, and whether I'm safe to try fstrim/Lagfix?
I have tried to read up as much as I can before posting, but there's a lot of information and I'm not entirely sure how much of it is currently in date, so I'm still not entirely certain whether this is what's affecting me, and what the best course of action from here is. Apologies in advance therefore if this has been covered elsewhere.
Thanks very much in advance.
Alex.

It does sound like you are experiencing LAG and are in need of trim. But you have the buggy emmc chip and I would not recommend it. Try booting to your CWM SD and going to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. See if that helps. An ordinary factory reset does not really format /data and will not make it better. That is why you still had LAG after installing CM10.1.

Thanks very much for the reply.
I've booted back into CWM, and the Mounts and Storage menu gives me the option of mounting or formatting several partitions:
/sytem
/cache
/emmc
/data
/sdcard
There doesn't look to be an option for "Format data and datamedia" however (I get the impression this should be a distinct option?).
I tried formatting just /data, after doing so and booting back into CM it started to run through the initial setup. The CWM version I'm using is v6.0.3.2.
A bit of further googling suggests that /data/media is hosted on /sdcard, but if I navigate through the filesystem it looks like my personal data from the stock install is /emmc, but I'm a bit wary of formatting this in case it affects the stock ROM. Coudl this be what I should be formatting instead?

Are you running CM10.1 on SD? I thought you replaced stock with CM10.1 on emmc. That was my basis for saying you need to format 'data and datamedia'. It uses the same /data that stock used, thus carrying over the LAG problem. An SD install puts /data on the SD (unless you used the hybrid SD install which then does use the same /data partition on emmc).
And I am not talking about /data/media. I am talking about 'data and datamedia'. That option actually formats all of /data including /data/media. A format /data with CWM does not "format" anything. It erases all of /data except /data/media, leaving your media files intact. An actual format is necessary to remove LAG.

Leap,
Thanks for this! I did format 'data and datamedia' and this fixed the lag I have been experiencing. I had to register w/CM and it reloaded some apps from Google play and I had to re-install other apps using Apps Back-up and Restore. Not ideal having re-install periodically (monthly?) in order to keep it running smoothly.
This proves to me that these tablets need TRIM. However, I have an HD+ 16GB with MAG2GA Date:11/2012, FwRev 0x06. Do you think it would be safe to try KitKat on SDcard or would that still subject my Nook to bricking?
BTW, Bought this on the Mother's Day deal so, still under warranty

Understood. When I couldn't find the "data and datamedia" option on CWM I did some googling, and "/data/media" returned a lot of hits, it seemed like a plausible alternative.

That is why you did not find that option. You need to use the CWM made for stock from my HD/HD+ CWM thread.
And the lag when running from SD is likely caused by the brand and class of your SD. It needs to be a SanDisk class 4.

To get around having to re-register and re-install everything, do a nandroid backup with CWM and after the format 'data and datamedia', do a CWM restore. That will put everything back but your media files. To save them, back them up manually to your SD or PC and manually restore them later. I know this is a pain to do but it is better than bricking your device.
And I don't know anything about kitkat on SD and trim. Even on SD some things are on emmc.

Right, understood. Sorry, when I made the original post I think I don't think I fully understood the purpose of the eMMC chip, obviously if it's running on a separate filesystem can't be the same problem. I've now got a Sandisk card on order, will give that a try next and go from there.
Thanks for your help, appreciated

[Q] Nook extremely slow unless running ROM from SD

Hoping that someone might be able to give me some insight and/or direction.
I've been running CM 10.2 off EMMC for a while now. I started having some issues with slowness and I was interested in CM 11, so I put CM 11 on an SD card so I could dual boot. CM 11 ran well. CM continued to run worse and worse. Bluetooth would timeout, web browser was extremely slow...it was pretty unbearable.
CM 11 ran like a dream so I decided to put CM 11 on EMMC. After I did so, it ran just like 10.2 did. It took 10 - 20 minutes just to get through setup. Gmail would timeout (and reboot) when it tried to sign-in. Apps wouldn't load. I would click on buttons and it would take 1 -2 minutes for the the NOOK to respond.
When I put CM 11 on, I did a factory reset (a couple of times).
So, I decided to put stock back in...without CWM...pure stock. Well, it is still slow. Booting from SD card runs fine.
Any ideas what could be wrong? I'm running pure stock now, so I could take it to B&N, but I don't remember when I purchased it. I'm not sure they would do anything.
I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Yes, you are suffering from LAG and need to run TRIM to fix it. But be careful as these devices with certain internal chips can be bricked running TRIM.

Thanks. I was running CM 10.2 with the trim-enabled kernel. Also, I had completely wiped /data and all the caches.
I noticed in settings (which took forever to load) it said I had used about 10 gigs or so...which I thought shouldn't be the case if I had formated /data and did a factory reset from CWM. I did a hard reset with factory restore and now things are moving along well.
Do you still think it was the LAG issue? I thought that formatting /data and /cache would fix the LAG (also I thought running the trim-Kernel would fix it too. Perhaps TRIM didn't have a chance to run because I've been dual booting? Although the reason I went to the dual boot was because of the slow issue.
I don't know...perhaps I reflashed a 10.2 ROM and forgot to flash the Kernel, but I've been on the same 10.2 rom for a while.
Either way...things seem to be working now...but now I have to start from scratch to get CM 11 on EMMC.
Thanks for the response!

There's a thread over in Android Development that discusses the TRIM related issues. It seems the only chip effective is rev. 5 (if I remember). I believe I have the rev. 6 and have been running the trim enabled kernel since last October or November. Sorry my memory is so faulty. If you need me to, I'll find my chip again (have to wade through the very long 10.2 thread to see what the command is since I've forgotten).

Some people say it is safe to do. I have tried it myself with no issues. You have to ask yourself if your device gets bricked can you afford to replace it? If no don't do it.

Your issue was you did not really FORMAT /data with those CWM commands. Because the HD/HD+ uses an emulated internal sdcard (/data/media), it only ERASES part of /data keeping the media files intact. So all of your earlier media files remained even after CWM /data format and factory reset commands. The only way to really format /data is to go to mounts and storage in CWM and format 'data and datamedia'. Then it really FORMATS all of /data (including your media files in /data/media) and gets rid of lag. Of course your hard reset and factory restore did that too.

Okay. That makes sense, although I wasn't aware of that behavior. Guess running TRIM manually would have fixed my issue. It took a while, but I have CM 11 running now. Thanks for all your work on that. It seems much faster than 10.2.

Advice please
kk so last night i had a go at the kit kat tutorial.
Think I got the right files in the end. (see attachment photo)
Managed to get CWM flashed on the 32gb micro SD and insert it into the Nook and reboot it into recovery.
Then i needed to back up stock OS to SD but it goes through the process but at the end it says no EXT SD found.
So it has the back-up on the internal memory which i cannot get off.
Why did it not back up to EXT SD?

That EXT SD it says it cannot find is not the external SD you are thinking of. It is looking for an old scheme not used anymore where apps sometimes were stored in an extra partition named that on the external SD. Your backup was probably stored on the external SD. It depends on which option you chose when you made it. If you chose the wrong option it might be stored on the internal memory. In any case it is easy to get it off.

You can't with the Nook HD/HD+. Since internal media files and your app data share the free space internally, your best solution is to store all of your media files by default on the SD so that all internal space is available for apps. You can do that by going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flashing my swap SD for CM zip. See item 4.

So what exactly will that do to my nook? It will then store all of the app data on the external SD instead of internal?

You can repartition your sdcard and use Link2SD. It won't move OBB files, but it can move apps, data, libs and dalvik files.

No, just the app's media files. They will go by default to external SD instead of internal SD. The regular app data stays on internal.
But maybe you do want to try the link2sd. I used it on my limited storage phone in the past and it worked great.

I cant even get links2sd to work and now my CWM is acting strange with the scrolling either getting stuck or not responding.

It sounds like you have some software problems. You did not say but I assume you installed CM10.1.3 on internal memory. I recommend a factory reset to clear things out and then reinstall your apps.

I actually have 10.1.3 installed on the internal memory. I might just do a factory reset and re install CM when I get home today. Will factory reset get rid of CWM as well?

No. It will not effect the ROM (CM10.1.3) either. It just wipes your installed apps and data. Just try the factory reset before you reinstall to see if that fixes it.
