[Q/A][DISCUSSION] CyanogenMod 10.x/11

This thread is created to reduce off-topic posts in development section.
Use this thread to discuss my work for Mini 2. (recoveries, ROMs etc.)
Please don't make any requests and most importantly, use the search button to make sure the answer to your question/problem is already present somewhere in here.

Hi , that´s my opinion
Twice 10.1 or JB port , have a problem with battery duration (and other minor bugs)
the game play are so laggy ,and you really have a slow experience with diary use.
AOkp I think that is trustworthy to the JB use. but the same with lag .
Thanks for your work !!!! and I hope you get new roms updates.
Sorry for my english...

jelly bean requires a lot of more RAM than GB. That's why there is some lag, I suggest to use smartassv2 as CPU governor if you need performance, if you need to save battery use interactiveX.

Is it possible to fix the camera now?. Since preview problem seems to be known now?

i tried installing cm-10.1-20130629-UNOFFICIAL-jena today but get an error 7.
factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache have been wiped, i`m using cwm 6.0.3.2.
versioncm-10.1-20130611-UNOFFICIAL-jena works without any problems.
what could i be doing wrong ?
edit: i returned to the working version and flashed it new because i finally wanted to get rid of the gapps package i installed before.
however even after flashing 0611 again gapps still seem to be on my system.
do i have to wipe anything else i`m not aware of ? the target is a cyanogen 0611 or 0629 without any gapps

do you have cwm 6.0.3.2 build 4 ?

ohh! it`s build 3 actually!
thx a lot! will give it a try at once

no problem

it worked perfectly thanks again!
the only thing i`m still facing is that gapps still seem to be on the system from a previous installation, although i wiped the 3 settings mentioned above.
is 0629 supposed to have the play store, services and other google named services? can i get rid of them somehow?
edit: solved, i had to format /system /data /cache. now gapps and other parts of the previous installations are definitely gone. happy happy!

The performance greatly depends on the game you're playing. Currently with CM10 20130629 (the NFC patch doesn't work, BTW) I have good performance with Icy Tower 2, but micro lags on Jetpack Joyride. Of course both of these games run perfectly on stock, but Icy Tower 2 has some graphical glitches not appearing on JB. But Jetpack Joyride is a lazy port from iOS and it can stutter even on better phones. But the overall performance is just fluid. Will test Vice City later to see if a lot has changed since April 2013, when I lastly tested VC on CM10.

those "micro lags" are because of RAM. I had an old PC with 256MB (!) RAM like 5-6 years ago, when I played NFSMW, I would get freezes/lags each 3-5 seconds, the loading screen took ages to load, then I put in another 512MB and everything was fine. No lags/freezes, loading screens didn't load forever etc.

On cm10 and cm9 for less ram usage i went to Developer options, scrolled to the bottom and set background processes to 1 or 0.
There are no these options on cm10.1, right? I dont know did you mean slow ramread/write or high usage with old pc example...

Ahh...the old-school NFSMW - one of my favorite games of all time.
But Android manages RAM differently than Windows, so 512MB shouldn't be a problem because it runs file on stock 2.3.6.
Looks like Jetpack Joyride stutters when there are certain sprites drawn. Seems to be some kind of GPU thing. If GTA VC runs better than this, I'll uninstall this crap.

That was just an example that RAM matter a lot in games. Temple Run 2 uses >100MB. Imaging what more demanding games require. I have about ~50-60MB free RAM when the phone is idle.

I have 210 at idle and still same lag and low fps as it is when 120 is free
Edit: cm9 has more than 100mb/s faster ram read speed than cm10, .1, aokp. And it has performance as good on 800mhz as cm10 has at 1.05ghz. Stock rom read is 500 mb/s, cm9 450, cm10 350
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda app-developers app

Well, looks like that's the problem. I noticed that actually earlier when people were posting benchmark results, everything was higher than on stock, except for the RAM speed.
I guess there's nothing to do about it? It's all in the kernel.

Probably gpu performance depends on ram speed... So improving ram speed will improve gaming performance and overal performance of the device in cm9, cm10, cm10.1 and aokp.

thanks for your job TheWhisp CM 10.1 is awesome like you thank you very much

I don't know which games you play but I play various gba roms and hacks via my boy emulator and it is very smooth. those temple run etc. do not appeal to me. If they were then probably I would have bought a better phone. but know this. Mini 2 is not a phone to play games.
oh and a question to @TheWhisp cm10.1 or aokp. whats the difference. which one do you prefer?

You fixed camera using same liboemcamera?

[Q] Performance of [ROM][JB-4.3.1][HALO] CM 10.2

I am interested in this ROM recently posted in the Development section: "[ROM][JB-4.3.1][HALO][P7300/P7310][PORTED] CyanogenMod 10.2 / SGT7"
The last time I experimented with a JB 4.3 ROM on this tablet (back in October), I had issues with Netflix. Excessive buffering and choppiness.
Has anyone used this ROM and tested Netflix extensively? How was it working?

I think it is a good and fast ROM, but it does not work 3G and telephony

Thanks.... I ended up trying it and am quite pleased. I don't have a 3G-enabled tablet so that is a non-issue for me.

After using it for a while longer, I am seeing buffering/choppiness with Netflix. Anyone else? Otherwise this ROM is pretty nice.

I gave up on this ROM.... it just felt too slow. Not sure if it's because not enough RAM was left over for apps and the like, but everything just felt way too slow.
I am now trying the Stock-based Ultra ROM and the performance is MUCH better. Of course I have to put up with the Samsung stuff.

I used this rom for a couple of months and never experienced lag except in hd videos and games. I disabled animations, disabled hw overlays, forced gpu rendering and set background process limit to four processes at most. Used nova launcher amd set all amimations to lightning fast and this rom worked like a charm.....never had to overclock. I also disabled a number of apps that I never use.

Custom roms, or stock rom modification?

Hi,
im on stock rom, with bootloader unlocked and root installed. my deivce is still very hot even after system configurations, so id like some advice on how to tweak the kernel or improve performance, make it not overheat, install custom roms or delete system apps and so on.
Ive tried uninstaller system applications or bloatware, tweaking the kernel with CPU Tuner, installing and configuring the L Speed app, who i was someone had awesome resaults with here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/themes-apps/one-to-tweak-apps-l-speed-t3350288
i only get around 2 hrs of screen on time with my deice, and a lot of heat, i saw it over 80 degrees yesterday...
id like some good optimization and battery life for the device, as im not able to do so now...
thanks in advanced

Ive been using that firmware sins the day it released (a weak ago almost)? but no change there...
what i have done now is done some heavy modifications to the kernel and some CPU governors.
I flashed this Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/development/kernel-andropluskernel-t3392772
the kernel works like a dream after under-clocking it with this program: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=no
Used the "alucard" governor, CPU is sitting around 60 degrees when using the camera, and its a bit laggy, but much more survivable that it was before...

This Kernel is the best you can do, perhaps you can try to deactivate one or two of the big cores.

I never tweaked anything but mine is only hot when I play heavy games and record video for more than 20 mins (720p)
Anyway your lag is too much or just a little bit???
And one thing I use stamina mode whenever I'm about to do something CPUy
So try it without tweaks and tell me what's the result.

I get the stamina thing, id do that too if i did not need the screen brightness
The laggs are not small, im talking CPU om 80 degrees an so hot that i can not touch top backside of the phone
and thats withou any tweaks on MM .244 with everything stock. Ive also tried it with root, but really that does not make any differense, i need to edit the kernel to be able to use the camera, or else it will shut down when recording in 720p.
Anyways, underclocking the device for me, actualle made it faster in my case, i have no idea why makes no sense, but there is no throtteling and cpu struggles when underclocking it, so now it relly smooth, a lot smoother than on stock .244 MM,
Hope it help!

Well it gets hot but I don't mind about the heat, I'll throw it in a glass of water or inside the refrigerator if it's too hot [emoji48] . And I didn't underclock it. It's still running stock governor.

Pokemon Go on Redmi 2

This is by far the biggest surprise my Redmi 2 gave me:
This game shows the min requirements as 2GB RAM. But yeah I do know we could somehow manage with 1 GB. So, for a better performance I was using CM 13 and decided to start playing the game. But the game lagged a lot, battles were like impossible to be made. I even tried few other ROMS like Nexus, RR, Slim and Snapshot( this was a bit better). I wasn't satisfied but then I shifted to MIUI as I wanted to test the new MIUI 8. But when I started playing the game here, it stopped lagging :fingers-crossed: ( It seldom lags). I couldn't believe it. My friend asked me if its lagging on my phone while he was using RR. I told him the same and it surprised him the same way it did to me. Did anyone else notice this? Anyone with custom ROMS able to play lag-free?

i'm able. it's ok in the most of the time. but my redmi 2 is pro version.

custom roms....
Orion mm latest build (cam also good)
tipsy
and plus point in these custom roms ---u can use fake gps also...i used n tested...so i m saying...

I love the pure Android experience, but I also came back to MIUI (now MIUI 8 beta) because apps seems to lag less.
I'm playing Pokémon GO but my problem is with GPS, sometime it doesn't fix or stuck and I need to restart the game.

YOu can try on miui 7 i play on that

I installed Orion in my phone and performance on Pokémon GO is worse than with MIUI 7/8.

i'm currently playing in miui 8 latest update, and it seems fine, except when you are under the sun and charging the phone then the cpu throttles xD
2gb version

I had that problem early on when I just started using MIUI. Later, it went well. I used to turn from High accuracy to other modes and then switch back. It worked sometimes.

Vainglory

Hi guys, now that I'm really desperate and gave up, I want to ask you all if you guys know a single ROM that can play vainglory without any issue, I literally have tried all ROMS in this forum, but nothing could satisfie me, maybe JDC 7.1 is an exception, its a perfect ROM for playing games, but in long term of use, it started to slowed down, and issues occurred, so any of you guys know which ROM, or maybe a best configuration to play vainglory without any issues like lags, thermal throttled, and high ping issue? Or is it just me? Or maybe I bought a wrong phone for gaming? The snapdragon 820 in this Mi 5 really gave me boner but now that its not sound so awesome anymore, even Redmi note 4x could play this game without any issue at all. Thank you in advance guys

did u tried Purefusion OS? or CRDROID ? Both are a great ROM, and i play all those game without any issue.

Saying Issues u mean FPS drop? Im playing similiar game Mobile Legends and I had same problem.. after 10min cpu throttled like sh*t with gpu.. both went down gpu from 624mhz to 410 and cpu from 2.1 to 1.6. I found solution here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/how-to-disable-thermal-throttling-t3636574
On every rom I just delete these 2 files and everything is fine - phone is not even HOT when playin. Im using it for like 3 months or more and its awesome.. 60fps without lags even if im playin 2/3hours from 100% to 0% battery. u should try if u want to play mobas on mi5 ))))

Okay, tried crdroid 7.1 and its fast, true, but not fast enough, and purefusion 7.1 is at the same speed compared to JDC 7.1, i think it's because "EAS" similarity, i dont know for a long time usage, soon i will find out if this rom is really the rom that i looking for or not, thank you so much sir, oh btw i read in the purefusion thread that using bb kernel is recomended, i mean, how bis is the difference with using it?

Yeah, i already knew about that sir, but i dont know, my phone seem stuttering for a long term usage, i tried with JDC 7.1 and Viver OS, on both ROMs i deleted those files, but still, after a while the lags came back., but thank you for answering

I am also searching for this one, but for another game haha, I bought it for playing Rules of survival but while playing fps drops, i tried on several roms but still didnt find solution, i would be glad if you tell me if you find any solution?
