Hi all,
With CM7 i'm enjoying my Milestone like never before. But since it's my first custom ROM, i have some questions though.
1. When returning to the home screen, 9 out of 10 times it reloads and rebuilds completely. How can i avoid this?
2. If it's a memory issue and i want to keep it in memory, how can i accomplish this without the risk of losing other essential apps from memory, like SMS and phone?
3. I read something about priorities for apps, how does this work?
4. Sometimes my device reboots randomly. My CPU is set to 900. Can this be the cause? If so, what's the best CPU speed setting?
So far for now, but i guess i'll be back with some more ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Gerard

I'm no expert so someone please correct me if i'm wrong and sorry for all spelling errors.
What version of CM7 are you running? If u'r running RC3 0.08-11.03.16 that homescreen Redraw (problem number 1) should be minor, something like 1 out of 10 times, atleast on my milestone. There is "Keep home in memory" setting in Cyanogenmod settings -> Performance, make sure it's enabled and for the problem number 2 enable "Keep SMS in memory". You shouldn't care much about app priorities cause CM7 memory management is taking care of that pretty well. Random reboot are DSI errors, they are minor in the newest CM7 version but there is no failsafe way to avoid them, if you don't want to chance the kernel, you can read about that in CM7 for milestone thread.
Thanks, i just can't find the "keep SMS in memory" option?
Then you probably won't have the newest version of CM7. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 and flash it just like u flashed it at the first time. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache from open recovery and you will get to keep all your personal settings and files/apps.
That's the one i have and i already found it. But thanks again!

A few answers of my own:
1) The CPU speed is probably NOT the cause of your reboots, but if you want to be sure, try it for a week. 700 is safer, 550 is default.
2) If it is your CPU overclocking, you may be able to fix it by upping the voltage on your overclock. This will lead to a bit more heat and a bit more battery drain, but should fix the reboots if CPU related
3) I would look at the SUPERCHARGE your Milestone thread about memory management settings. Although Zepps's settings and scripts are meant for tweakers and are probably a tad aggressive if you don't know what you are doing, they did speed up my phone by 200%.
I would recommend installing AutoMemoryManager and using the mild settings if you want to do something less aggressive than the Supercharge scripts...
You will get some of the benefits of the supercharge and a very low risk of apps getting killed by the memory manager.
My 2 cents!
thanks caz.
I'm pretty sure the new minfree settings that I've been testing out are the best of both worlds... superfast and background friendly.
I hadnt had a chance to update the thread yet and post the new script.
But for those interested, this should really work great... 6, 8, 24, 26, 28, 30.
Thanks all, i'll look into those things. By reading that is, because i've got a lot to learn!
Hi all,
I'm still experimenting and impressed by this ROM. Just now I performed a fix permissions to prevent apps from fc. That modified the read & write permissions of all apps. I assumed it couldn't hurt to try, but now I'm wondering what it did exactly. There aren't any noticable changes. Can anyone fill me in?
Thanks,
Gerard
Do you think that is better than FroyoMod??

I'm not sure what you mean, but this is my first custom ROM coming from stock Eclair on my first Android device.
So I have no idea which is the best, but I do know that I'm very impressed by CM7. It runs perfectly on my Milestone, so I feel no need whatsoever to try another.
Yup, for sure

Can you tell me if the camera & video work well?
My 2 bigs problem with froyomod are the camera that often FC and freeze and the video that are stuttering so much..
I can move to CM7 only if I'm sure that this stuff work well!

I can only speak for myself, but I haven't had one single problem so far. Shooting pictures and videos works fluently on my device. I am also not aware of any possible known problems, but maybe others can confirm this.
ADW Launcher in CM7 RC4.1
Started new thread for a specific question, but i can't delete this post.
Hi all,
I have a question while enjoying my Milestone to the max, thanks to CM7!
Since RC4 I have a problem with ADW Launcher after booting the device.
First it seems like there's a delay connecting to the SD card, because the icons of apps installed on SD don't show up on my homescreen. Instead a stock or native icon is visible.
Then the homescreen goes black for a few seconds and reloads completely. The icons of apps on SD still don't show, and my weather widget says it can't connect.
After a little while a message pops up, saying that "activity ADW Launcher in process android.process.acore doesn't respond". I can choose to close ADW Launcher or wait. In both cases all loads well after making one of those choises, it doesn't matter which one.
Since I suspected some kind of delay affecting the SD card and Internet connection, I expected this to be (partially) solved in RC4.1 according to this release note: "fix: kernel modules sometimes installed too late (sd-ext not mounted, overclock not applied)". But unfortunately in my case it isn't.
I already have tried disabling Sense previews and Wallpaper Hack in ADWLauncer settings, but that didn't help. Am I the only one with this problem or does it sound familiar? In that case, what can be done?
Thanks a lot,
Gerard

the problem of the launcher crashing is sumthin everyone faces .. n it does slow the phone down as well .. ask a techie if u can remove adw launcer and install another launcer cuz ther has to b a launcher faster than adw ..
Okay, but I can't imagine this behaviour occurring on every device at the moment?
on most devices u c this prob .. tht is wher stock rom is better and snappier ..
in rc4 sumtimes the power control widgets in the notification bar also disappear .. its werid ..

Not on supercharged phones. No launcher redraws. Ever.
Plus, gingerbread packed with apps feels as light and fast as stock froyo with nothing installed on it.
You should try it.

I sure will. In fact, I wanted to supercharge my Milestone since I read the topic, but I'm still struggling through the loads of information trying to figure out what I need and need not to do. Once I created a step-by-step instruction, I'm good to go.
Maybe you can help me to make me see the big picture. From what I understand, I need an app like AMM and one of your scripts. In the app I can modify the minfree settings. The script takes care of loading these settings on every boot. Is this correct? If so, can you please tell me which files I need for the first 2 steps? I don't need extra apps like GScript and Busybox so far, do I? Trying to start off simple...
Any additional instructions are welcome!

Yes all the steps are in the Gscript section.
You don't need AMM or AKMO but I use AMM just for diagnosing and poking around to see how everything is working.
All you gotta do is install busybox and gscript as per instructions in the Gscript section.
Hi all, and especially Zeppelinrox,
Since CM7 RC4 my launcher hardly ever gets NOT redrawn/reloaded. Very annoying. I've tried every setting and combinations of settings with no luck. So I've decided to step into the deep and give Superlaunch and Bulletproof a go. I'm still not sure if I understand the whole package though, so I'd like to verify whether or not I did the right thing.
I've just installed Gscript and in there I activated from script v5: balanced, status and the Bulletproof launcher. I unchecked the "keep launcher in memory" setting. Then I rebooted.
Now I'm gonna do some tests, but was this procedure correct and complete? And does this stick after a reboot? If not, how can I make it stick for both Superlaunch and Bulletproof? I assume I don't have to manually execute these scripts after rebooting every time?
I'll report my findings later today. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Gerard
The Netherlands
Yes it all sounds correct and the settings will persist after reboot.
However, by default the launcher is not bulletproof you can run that script separately if tou still get redraws.
V6 has Hard To Kill Launcher which is as strong as it can be without bulletproofing - much stronger than lock home in memory.
With V6, bulletproofing should not be necessary at all while allowing games to be played.
But it is still an option for those that don't play games.

Well, I can tell you this: it's awesome! I've been poking around for hours now, and never had a single redraw. My Milestone runs smoother than ever. Fan-tas-tic!
I just don't understand the AMM readings. It always shows it's own mild settings, but shouldn't it display the script values?
Thanks a lot!
Gerard
Which script did you apply?
AMM is stupid that way lol
Just be sure SuperUser give no permissions to AMM
AKMO will show the current minfree values when you run it though - just disable it's apply settings at boot option - or don't give superuser permission.
I applied Balanced3 from gscript-Custom_ROMS_SuperCharge+BulletProof_Pack_v5.zip (10.7 KB, 461 views)
In SuperUser permissions for AMM are denied.
So AMM doesn't read the current values at all and I'm OK? Guess I'll have to calculate the values myself from the show status script then, or is there an easier (preferable newbie) way to verify if all settings are correct?
Now we're at it, later today I'm gonna install the CM7 update. I know I'll have to recalibrate the battery after that, but do I have to run these scripts again too?
Thanks again!
Gerard
Ya I'd like to figure out a way to do the calculation with the script.
I haven't been able too get to far on that as of yet.
I mentioned in my prvious post - you can quickly check with AKMO - Autokiller Memory Optimizer - just disable the apply on boot option.
There is also Minfree Manager.
Yep, run the scripts again after flashing a rom
I just installed AKMO and it displays the scripts values flawlessly!
Don't know what AMM did, but apparently it kept on changing the values to very strange numbers after a reboot. I can't remember them, but the 3rd one was 256 (1). I'm sure it had no root permissions though. But now AMM is gone, all loads well after rebooting according to AKMO.
It makes all the difference in the world, I can tell you that. My Milestone runs like a complete new device. So smooth, fast and stable. I can recommend it to everyone!
I have just one more question. What script is best suitable for running big map apps, like Google Earth? It's lagging, freezing and closing with the standard minfree settings. The Balanced3 script makes it better, but can it improve even more?
Thanks again and again and...
Gerard
I dunno.
That's a big app
Maybe you can overclock it more LOL
btw... I DID IT... I got the script to convert pages to mb... woohoo
I'm already at 1000 Mhz, can't seem to get it running at 1100 or higher though, cause it keeps rebooting from the M logo. But maybe there's potential for a script handling "big apps" ;-)
Anyway, congrats on your progress with the scripts! I wonder why devs haven't implemented this in their ROM's yet.
Now it's time to move on to my next project: an ext-partition. I read so much about it. Still no idea about the advantages though, so I'll start by figuring that out first.
Thanks for all your help and good luck with your work!

Use that and only do the steps to create the ext2 partition. Then after that, reboot CM7 and you should have all of your apps on your ext2 partition, thus making your phone a bit faster(less internal memory used) and the potential for a TON of more apps installed on your phone, depending on the size of your ext2 partition.
Really! You just saved me a lot of reading, thanks!
So after I created the ext2 partition through my PC, rebooting the device handles moving my apps? No reinstalling, no manual uninstalling from internal memory? But how about apps without apps2sd option, will they be unaffected? Or does ext2 simulate internal memory, so all apps can be installed there? If so, will apps from the Market then automatically be installed on ext2, with or without apps2sd?
Sounds great!
Thanks in advance,
Gerard

All you should have to do is reboot and the reboot might take longer than usual as CM7 would be transferring all your apps to the ext2 partition. All apps that are installed afterwards are installed on your ext2 partition.

Hi Everyone,I am new to the forum(But following it from many days)
As the title suggests, after I updated the firmware through Official LG PC Suite, i am experiencing massive lags.
Used RAM is always at approx 700 Mb. Opening more than 1 tab in Chrome phone lag badly. There are launcher redraws and much more.
Tried a factory reset but it made no difference.
Usually wiping cache, valpik and resetting to factory settings before flashing solves the problem, and most of the time its an app, usually a battery saver app with permissions to modify CPU speeds that causes this.
Also please stop capitalizing each and every word in you sentence. It's not a title!

You should carry out a factory reset AFTER the upgrade. Wiping cache and dalvik (not valpik) cache is done from a custom recovery, which I preusme you have not installed on your phone?

I suggest you go back to ics like i did. jellybean is full of crap and ram usage is always high for no reason.
If not. then root the phone and freeze some apps, disable others and uninstall the ones you don't use. to keep your launcher from redrawing then force it into memory with ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 paste this at the end of your build.prop in system folder.

the only way you can follow instructions incorrectly is if you brick the phone... and i found a lot of issues with jb mainly performance.
Lagg is resolved with a factory reset. Dont restore your files and apps just install them again after factory reset! Not all files and apss from ICS have same settings and functionality on JB so that can lead to lagg..
RAM is here to be used,if RAM isnt used then your phone isnt performing his full potential! If RAM isnt used that means that apps in the phone are not working,so when you open them you will get lagg because they have to start up every time..Some apps drain battery so you can grenify them but apps have to run for your phone to be fully exploited!

You should install through LGFlash Tool for the cleanest install, after that root and install your apps again. It's a pain in the ass but, the best way... About ram, if it's being used, the phone performance is better but that might reflects in the battery life. I use to close all processes after use the phone and my battery life is very good, the delay to access the apps 1st time after being stopped is about half of a second, soo... I can live with that.

Seems to me that as long as you have all the default services running, you hit less than some limit of ram, or a period of inactivity, and the OS preemtively starts garbage-collecting programs in mem - among others, the launcher/homescreen app. Makes sense, more or less, to do that. Because it'll free up priority for apps that don't actually receive input (such as the launcher screen).
But on the other hand, homescreens can contain lots of apps, and could take more than 5 seconds to load, so not such a brilliant idea to destroy the cache. Meanwhile, services you never use tend to poll the system on their own, and suddenly they're treated with more attention than the programs you're actually using..
Seems the running programs being replaced by fifty useless services is less of a problem the more free ram you have, though.
And that's why a lot of "garbage" was un-installed on my device (other users made the same).

Afternoon peeps,
Recently my Mini 2 has just ground to an unusable, good-for-nothing pile of crap.
- It is soooo slow to do anything.
- It rotates the screen when it's not being rotated.
- It locks in the middle of performing tasks.
- It blacks out for 30 seconds or so before becoming responsive again.
- Voice on Google Maps or Runkeeper apps keeps glitching.
I'm running CM12 [12-20150411-NIGHTLY-memul] with TWRP recovery.
Reinstalling the ROM returns the phone to a normal function, temporarily, before descending into chaos.
Clearing the cache partition sort of works....for a little while.
I/O Scheduler is ROW.
Storage isn't anywhere near full with 3.65Gb free.
Available RAM is on average about 170Mb
My thoughts are that an app is causing this.
Can anyone throw some troubleshooting ideas into the pot?
Thanks

Clearing cache and ram just makes it worst as Android works different from PC's.
It seems you're in the good path as just need to find what APP is doing that. Providing that you run CM12 without extras and its ok, than try install/uninstall one app at the time until you find the one its causing trouble

Well CM12 its a bit buggy so if you gonna run high end apps i suggest stock ROM.
Regarding RAM, android manages that pretty well for you. The more ram in use, the better things work. (if you know how RAM works) same thing with cache. So don't use stupid programs to clear RAM as they are useless.
You can google for more info.

Interesting, the reason I'm on CM with this HTC is because the Stock ROM also showed the same symptoms, so I moved to CM to try to cure. I really liked the stock UI and was reluctant to move away from it.
I do know RAM and that does make sense - more stuff in RAM = quicker access to resouces, but surely its still a good troubleshooting step to clear down if these problems arise?

Like i said, Android will clear the apps when it need to open resources for another.
Reading back your posts, you might need to do full re-installation .
If you install Google Apps bundle, start with re-flashing that. if still no good then go for the all ROM.
But you say that it also happened with stock rom so finding the app that's causing that its crucial.
Also note the apps that stay open in the background (click the 2 Squares) only nine stay open but all you need its a game to keep eating all the resources.

Like i said, Android will clear the apps when it need to open resources for another.

I've begun by uninstalling OneFootball and Facebook and performance has improved somewhat. This might be quite a long process as im going go leave a day or so between each action.
I have fully reinstalled before, but selected to restore data and apps from backup. Maybe I'll try setting up as a new device if it comes to it. Want to avoid that tho.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing about the same issue with my HTC One Mini 2 after installing CM12. It ran perfectly smooth in the beginning but now it is soooo slow and it takes forever to load almost any apps (especially Facebook and Snapchat).

I think it's either Facebook or Facebook Messenger, probably more messenger.
I first uninstalled Facebook Messenger and performance improved. Still a little glitchy, but much better.
Then I uninstalled Facebook. Not much change.
Facebook is now reinstalled, but messenger isn't and I've been happier with the phone.
I'm still getting some background apps crashing, but not as much as before uninstalling FB messenger.
Not really a 'solution' as it could be different for you, but as mentioned previously, start uninstalling an app at a time. Leave a few days inbetween so you can tell if it changed anything. If not, reinstall and try again.
Same issue here with mini 2..i dont have facebook or that football app
So I recently updated my Note 9 to Pie (May update), honestly I am satisfied with the update, phone feels smooth, lots of customizations with good lock, battery life is about the same as in Oreo.
The only problem that's bothering me is RAM management, apps don't stay open in background as they used to on Oreo even if I always have 2GB of free RAM at least. I have disabled all sorts of power saving features, tried a magisk module for better RAM management but it's still bad.
Is there any solution for better RAM management? Root or non-root?
Thanks.

since updating from v8 to v9 is not a proper clean start. u might want to contemplate wiping data and cache in recovery mode and start fresh from v9 instead .
shouldn't be different but you might also consider flashing latest firmware again ontop( just dont forget to wipe data first then flash.)
its always best to start fresh than to use a phone that go updated and still has all the clutter from previous version.

I started fresh with Pie, had everything wiped and started from 0. I noticed that some other users on reddit had the same issue, but haven't came across a solution yet.

I have the Exynos variant N960F, I'm on Pie May update and I am rooted with Magisk.
I don't have many apps in the background as I use Greenify to hibernate apps that I don't want to be running in background, as I said I usually have around 2GB of free RAM most of the time.
Now when I was on Oreo, I used to have for instance PS App open in background (meaning I exit with the back button not home button) and a few hours laters or even after opening lots of apps later, when I go back to that app, it doesn't have to reload. Now this is not the case with Pie, if I do the same, I would have to reload it, it's not that it takes time to reload but it's just annoying to have lots of free RAM yet you have to reload apps every hour or so.

Yes I do, and none of the apps that I want to be running in background are Greenified of course. In fact I have the same apps + settings that I used to have on Oreo as I restored them fully after rooting, the only thing that's different is the updated OS.

Sure, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks.
I have the same problem too, recent apps are closed by itself no matter what battery optimization you do for the apps that you don't want to close.
I just noticed every time it happens it just keeps the last 5 apps used opened and close the old ones.
You can also try to go to device care and then battery then on the upper right hand side the three dots then settings, there turn off put unused apps to sleep. Maybe this can help you.
That dont work mate ,there is no fix trust me.pie closes your recent apps list over night regardless of what setting you use.ive given up trying to keep my favourite apps in the recent apps menu.i just hope Samsung fixes it .but nobody other than me and a few others really want it fixed.most people dont care that all there apps get closed over night apart from 3 or 4 that stay.its terrible
