I had rooted my Hero a year or so ago with Android 1.5, and recently upgraded to 2.1 which lead to a great deal of lag at all times namely while using any Phone functions. I rooted the 2.1 and have been using ZenHeroFX 2.0 ROM with the Darchstar - Standard_vUV2_710 kernel for a few days now. Phone performance still has been pretty laggy with the overclock on many functions. however, most annoyingly I've been having the same problem others have been, extreme lag answering calls to the point of missing them constantly.
I installed SetCPU today in an attempt to address this and tried to look around the forums for some good settings and profiles for the Hero. My battery life has always been excellent but was looking for more of a performance boost without sacrificing TOO much on the battery life front. I saw a few scattered ones but was looking more for people's complete profile setup to find the best or close to it.
Here's what I'm going with for my initial setup:
Base Settings: 768 Max + 633 min
Screen Off: 480 Max + 245 min [priority 95%]
Charging/Full: 768 Max + 710 min [priority 85%]
Battery <21%: 537 Max + 245 min [priority 75%]
Battery <66%: 710 Max + 537 min [priority 65%]
I haven't messed with any of the advanced settings at all. I'm basically going to see if I notice any difference with these and I guess just play around to maximize speed and battery performance.
Can I get some feedback as far as my settings go as well as some of the settings more advanced users than myself are using?
The settings that those OC kernels run at are already optimal, you wont lessen lag by running setcpu also, probably just make it worse.

Check that your 'Slot Cycle Index' is at 0. It's how frequently your phone 'checks in' to the tower to see if any calls or messages are coming to your number.
Pull up the Dialer and type in ##DATA# (DATA=3282 fyi)
Choose View Mode.
Then select Advanced.
Scroll down until you see Slot Cycle Index and it should show a number. I think the Hero's default is 2. If you take it down to 0, it will make your phone check-in to the tower much more frequently (like every second as opposed to every 4 seconds or something like that), which lessens your phone call lag a great deal. I changed this a few months back and haven't missed any calls due to phone lag since then.
You'll have to choose Edit mode to actually change that value, and you'll need your phone's MSL passcode from Sprint to do get into that.
If this isn't the problem then I'm not sure what to suggest.

After all this modding done to my phone, how come I've never seen seen this mentioned ?? Anyway this sounds great! However, it sounds like battery life would suffer as a consequence...? What are your experiences with this tweak?
Edit: here's an easy way to get your MSL without calling sprint:

I haven't noticed any negative effects on my battery life in everyday use, still lasts me a full day with all the stuff I normally do on my phone.
It does drain your battery a bit faster if you're in an area with really weak or no signal, but that's all I've ever noticed.
I able to view the settings... slot cycle is set at 2. However it requires a password to change it. Any clue on which password it is? I tried entering nothibg but it didn't work.

Hello guys...
well... this is will be my first flash using android tools ((from symbian i'm quite used to it)).... this is my second android ((today I own a Xperia Z1 and before a Motorola Razr i, which i never flashed))...
and I have some questions regarding this flashing procedure.... some one mind just clarify me around some doubts ??
1 - after I flashed my mobile and if I regret, can i reinstall the flash the sony fw in the same way? i mean, download it from sonymobile.com and flash it? is this works?
2- these custom roms to Z1 ((cyanogem, miui, and so on)) are the pure android with sony drivers OR are they the same from sony but modified? I'm asking this because i like ((and use so much)) the sony features like stamina, throw, screen mirroring ((I use this one a lot to play on my tv))... If these ""sony features"" doesn't come ""out of box"" when I flash a custom rom, can i install them later?? I never saw any video showing these stuffs or any at all...
3- these custom roms can I enable and disable animations and other things to enhance my phone?? because with my previous phone ((Motorola Razr i)) i was able to do this and much more, and this save battery a lot... can I do this?? if yes, mind to attach a screenshot to show what can do? I was reading many other forums ((including from sonymobile) and even there they complain about drain battery and random freezes, just like I'm having these days....
4 - Ok... i read a lot but I couldn't understand exactly what is TWRP.... mind to explain as if i 6yo?? =)
5 - Is it normal to screen not shows up when I press the power button to ""wake up"" the screen?? I mean... sometimes i want to check my phone, and when I press the Power button the screen just freezes in black, not showing anything .... and just show something after some seconds ((ten or more)) or after i press the Power button for some seconds as if i want to shut it down.... this happens more ""often"" if i press the Power button to lock and after 2, 3 seconds i have the need to use the phone again ((which this never happen with my Razr i))...
6 - my phone heats a lot.... i mean.... a really lot.... is that normal?? i was reading about this and many other z1 owners complains from this same thing...
thanks in advance =)
1. Yes
2. If you install cyanogen or other AOSP roms, you need to unlock bootloader. also you will loose stamina mode and other sony features. i dont think you can get them back, look around in other sections.
3. It could. Honestly, my z1 hasn't frozen on me ever. I am on stock rooted 761 fw. If you want to disable animations go to developer options and disable the animations there, you can do it both in stock sony and aosp.
4. Twrp is a recovery, you need it to flash roms and do backups of your phone. Team win recovery project.
5. I do not know if its normal as my z1 is very responsive, no delay in screen opening time even when i underclocked the cpu to 1.7Ghz
6. Yes it does tend to heat up after prolonged gaming etc. You can lessen it by underclocking. It works trust me

minor questions regarding your answer...
#3 - mine z1 freezes everyday... and i dont have too many apps installed... just a few.... for real... like 20 apps... only 2 games...
#4 - ok... finally i got it =)
#5 - mind to make a test with your own? press the power button normally, as if you gonna lay it down... then, after 2 or 3 seconds, press again the power button, as if you wish to check the hours or a message.... try this at least 5 times if you dont mind..... so... it worked all the times flawlessly?
#6 - nope.... even if im not using it.... not doing anything at all...

#3 - maybe the RAM is cluttered?
#5 - I did it around 8 times. Turned off the display, waited for 2-5 seconds then turned it on. Works flawlessly. No lag. My device is even underclocked when it is in sleep or display off. When the display is off, i set it to run between 300 - 900something Mhz because I found that the device could still respond without any lag with that setting when turning the display on. When the display is on its 300Mhz to 1.7Ghz.
#6 - maybe have it checked at a sony center.

#3 just keep clearing it manually. if you ate rooted install xposed fw and recent apps cleaner for it to be faster. closes all apps in one click
You can underclock in stock rom, just need root access.

ok... i will try it then.... i have "advanced task killer" and "clean master" running together ... i always clean the memory.. the ATK is set to clean every time i press the power button to lock the screen... and, even doing this, my phone keeps freezing all the time... i dont know, but maybe after you rooted the phone, you could enable/disable any options were enhance the phone... no?
well... i will try to install any custom rom to check it and see if i enjoy any of them.... any recommendation for a custom rom? cyanogem? miui? iHacker? DooMLord?
I havent done anything to my phone but root it and underclock + xposed but only modules for camera and cosmetics of the ui. Its your pick. I use stock 761. Just stock + root.

I'm on Verizon, so I just got my Nexus 6 last week, and I've still been trying to get it looking and feeling like I want it to. I already unlocked and rooted it. I'm working on getting Light Flow set up, but I've been having no luck at all. I'm dealing with the finicky double-tap to wake. I know there's apps to enable the stock battery percentage, and I have done so, but what's the best way to change how the status bar looks? Is there even a way, besides a new ROM? I know Xposed isn't available/stable for 5.1 yet. The percentage is so hard to read like this, it's making me miss my Note.
The battery seems a little iffy so far, so I've been keeping an eye on it. Wakelock Detector was is telling me "Proximity Sensor Manager" has been running almost constantly. Not sure what that is exactly. Any advice or help with these or other issues from those who have had it for a long time? I'd love the help. Thanks!
I also just spent 3 or 4 hours in the car with my headset on, and the battery drained by Bluetooth says 37%. Is that normal?? Seems like an awful lot, especially considering I only made one call.
Google play services is the battery killer for me, often using more than the display does.
As for mods on stock 5.1 ROM, I would recommend maybe Franco kernel (love the color calibration and vibration intensity adjustment) and the MoDaCo modpack for some nice customizations like percentage battery and center clock just to name a few.

Is there a reason for the service to be using that much? That's kind of annoying. :-|
I've flashed ROMs before, but I'm fairly noob-ish when it comes to the rest. I'm on stock 5.1, but just unlocked and rooted, so what would I need to do to flash a kernel or a modpack? What are the pros/cons of doing so? The modpack sounds like it has a good chunk of what I'm looking for. Thanks for your response!
Well, with Franco kernel you just install his app and it will install it directly from within the app itself . . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel.free
That is the free version of his app kernel app. It basically just does that. For all the extras his kernel does, you need to buy his paid app I believe. I am sure there are other ways to access them, but his app is worth the few bucks it costs . . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel
As for the mod pack, you would start with installing a custom recovery. If you don't know how to do that, easiest way is download the app flashify, which will download and install twrp recovery quite easily.
The mod pack is even easier, download the 5.1 version from here . . http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/mcr-modpack-for-the-nexus-5-6-and-9-r11-r1437 . . and flash in recovery. Would highly recommend creating a twrp nandroid backup before proceeding at all so you can easily fever everything you will be doing.

Awesome! Thanks for the links. For the modpack...it says near the bottom "Ensure your device is running STOCK LRX22C - use on any other ROM version will make bad things happen!". My Nexus 6 is LMY47E. That doesn't even seem close. Is it compatible with all, or only a few devices, or certain ROMs? Again, thanks for the help.
The mod pack is for stock or stock based roms. And if you download the 5.1 version you will be fine. What they are saying about the 22C build is for 5.0.1 stock, the v11 for 5.1 is what you want. I myself am on the 47E build and it works perfect.

Its probably finicky for you because Nexus 6 **DOES NOT HAVE** double-tap to wake. It has SHAKE to wake.
Which deactivates under certain conditions, like it woke from being shaken within a few seconds of this attempt without being fully brought to wake (by touching the screen). Or because the proximity sensor registers a "near" event (i.e., it thinks its in your pocket).
I know there's apps to enable the stock battery percentage, and I have done so, but what's the best way to change how the status bar looks? Is there even a way, besides a new ROM?

Why do you need to know that precisely how many "percent" the battery is at? Even if you think you know the "actual percent", you realize that it is only accurate to within about 15%? Its a rough guess no matter how you look at it. If the little battery icon is right up to the top, its full. If its close to the bottom and red, its time to charge. If its somewhere in between, its still ok.
The battery seems a little iffy so far, so I've been keeping an eye on it. Wakelock Detector was is telling me "Proximity Sensor Manager" has been running almost constantly.

Some crap that you installed. Uninstall it and your battery will last more normal.
Battery on this device is excellent. Low/mid use can run for THREE DAYS on a charge.

OK, for light flow to work you need the paid version. Once you have that go to settings/Device Settings and root, and check direct mode, root mode and run every command as root (you'll want to disable notifactions in supersu for this app or you'll get constant pop ups saying lie flow has been granted permissions)
Now go to notifications settings and, for each app you want the notification light, got to settings, the light tab and enable the light, scroll down and enable the mixer, check app controlled flash, select the color mix you want and for each color set the state to solid and whatever brightness level.
That should get your light working. You might want to check the "exclude from sleep mode" under each app as well.
The light works just the flash rate is somewhat random.

I am definitely interested, but I sadly burned myself out on ROMs during my Galaxy Nexus days. Having to constantly redo settings and update nightlies and all that stuff got draining after a while. I'm really looking to just modify stock in whatever small ways I'm able to, which as of tonight has been awesome. More battery life would be helpful though. :-/

Does anyone have any suggestions for messing with the vibration settings? The vibration on my phone is so violently loud that I sometimes would prefer the notification noise over it. Not to mention that I normally love haptic feedback when I type, but on the N6 it just sounds ludicrous, like I'm literally typing on a mechanical keyboard. Will any of the kernels let me adjust intensity? I heard somewhere that Franco kernel does, but it was never confirmed. The way my Galaxy Tab S feels when I type is phenomenal...I wish I could figure out what it's set to and have everything set that way.

As far as the proximity sensor being active, my guess is that ambient display is using it
. If your concerned I would try disabling ambient display and see what happens. Again that's just a guess.

Yeah, I ended up getting it and trying it, and it's much better now, but not as smooth as I had hoped. I just set up my dad's S6 today and the tactile feel of the haptic on that thing is just...mmmmm. It seems like the motor they put in the N6 is just grossly overpowered, it even sounds weird.

It was the ambient display, I finally figured it out a few days after I got the phone. Thanks for the tip!
Hi my Razer 2 will just randomly freezes. By that I mean sound will continue to work, the screen will remain on passed it's 5 min inactivity cutoff point, but the screen and the side buttons( all 3 buttons) will not respond to any input. I'm not sure how long this will last but I know it has stuck that way for more than 15 mins. Most of the time I just immediately reboot. And about 25% of those times it will still be unresponsive once it comes back on. But most of the time it fixes the issue till it decides to do it again. It does this about 2 times a day.
I'm not rooted, unlocked, nor have I flashed anything to my phone. It is still bone stock. The phone is only about 2 months old and I'm on the latest update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Exactly the same issue here, stock completely but will crash on nearly every app I try to run. Screen is so unresponsive it is painful, playing Pokemon Go is a horrendous experience. Taking my handset to Three today to see if they can give me a replacement.
Mine doesn't do it on every apk. But when it does I'm usually watching a video...... Haha no not porn.... Lmao. And the other weird thing about it is when I reboot it it will show the splash screen then boot animation then it cuts the boot animation short and pops up a very basic very old school window requiring me to enter my password. So I enter it and it goes right back to the boot animation where it left off. And finishes running the animation then before I can go to my "Home" screen I have to input my password again. But this time is normal password screen and I have it set up to require it at that point. It's the first generic password screen in the middle of the boot animation that puzzles me. It just started doing this about 3 to 4 days ago.
Had a previous phone that would randomly freeze.
The solution was to enable developer mode. (Settings about phone and tap on build number 10 times)
Head back and find developer options.
Set Window animation scale to off
Set Transition animation scale to off
And set Animator duration scale to off
Restart phone.
Hope that helps.

Exactly the same issue here, stock completely but will crash on nearly every app I try to run. Screen is so unresponsive it is painful, playing Pokemon Go is a horrendous experience. Taking my handset to Three today to see if they can give me a replacement.

I've faced the same. Three are not only swapping my handset for a Mi 8, but they have upped my contract benefits to the top level, and reduced my costs by £10 a month. I know the Mi 8 specs slightly lower than the Razer, but I'm fed up with this

That's one of the first things I do when I get a new phone, flash a rom, or just generally anytime I have to set it up from scratch. So it's not that. I guess I'm gonna flash the kernel in these forums that has root capabilities and twrp built in. See if that helps..... I like the performance it has during mobile gaming. PUBG runs on the higest/best video setting and speed like a boss.
Did you set it to adoptable storage when you first got the phone?

If that is the issue is this something that can be reset to have the option to choose the correct storage if the factory image is flashed?

You would have to do a hard reset.
When asked how the memory card is to be used select as portable storage.
Not to be provocative, but why have the option of adaptive storage if it doesn't function as it should on this phone? I've never had this issue with any other device. Personally I'm extremely disappointed at Razer. No updates since the Feb security patch, we are now in June. Razer forums show very little advancement and support, and we know the mobile division has been scaled down significantly.
I would have thought this device could be a devs dream, but alas it appears long forgotten

I agree. Not having any update since feb's security patch shows Razers laziness or lack of concern for their supposedly high end mobile gaming device. Not a confidence booster going into a round of PUBG knowing it may freeze at any moment.
It just froze again for no apparent reason.
And by the way I don't even have a micro SD card in the phone.
This is weird I've never had any of the issues you've described in either my RP2 or RP1. I would contact Razer send it back or swap.

Same. Haven't even had it for a month. Completely stock, latest update, freezes completely when opening either version of Chrome (Canary and Stock) sometimes, and forcing a reboot usually gets it frozen AGAIN before I even unlock it, which makes me force another reboot. Not to mention I think I'm already noticing a dead pixel on the screen. It hasn't even been a month.
I did a factory reset in the stock recovery about 4 or 5 days ago. It's been running beautifully since. No lag no freezing just running as smooth as a unicorn sliding down a rainbow. So I guess I picked up some kind of malware or something along my journey. I've gone to the "dark web" a few times. Just snooping around. But I was safe about it. I used a VPN and ran thru tor browser. But it could have been there that I picked up something. Who knows. But what I do know is it's back to as smooth as it was out of the box after a full factory reset.
same here on rooted
it mostly crash when I want to watch videos on Facebook or similar pages.
it does on stock/rooted stock/gsi and i think it's vendor problem
Moving back to Internal storage seems to have done the trick, especially as my SD card has been disconnected several times now.
Same issues with Radom and sometimes more often freezing as to where I have to hold power down until it reboots.last time it did it was a few minutes ago I was trying to watch a clip about oppo 7 pro video about 5g on the chrome search app it played about 15 seconds and solid froze my phone everytime I tried to play it.it worked fine in YouTube app
My phone is been having this issue lately.
Seems to have started only in the last week or so..
I am running the custom kernal and the "stock deodexed and zipalign" rom.
It could also be that I've rooted...?
I don't want to go back to stock rom so I live with the random frozen screen once a day and since people here have said it happens on stock.
Phone has never been dropped and it isn't hot when it happens.View attachment 4803124

Mine has done this a few times in the past week. Stock rooted, tried stock kernel and arter's kernel with same result. It's only happening to me while using chrome and videos in Facebook.
Running complete stock Three ROM, no rooting. Chrome took an update over the weekend and now the phone locks up when watching video. Works fine on Samsung browser on the phone, just Chrome.
Might finally get around to flashing and getting LDAC working on this thing....
