Hi,
I've recently installed Xperia Active Launcher on my FroyoPro v2.5, and I love it. However, I've been having some performance issues with it that I would like to fix.
First off, I installed a system CPU monitor to see how much CPU percentage my system uses on average. When I unlock the screen, CPU averages at about 40 %, and in time if I was to do nothing it slows down below 10 %. If I was to swipe around the pages, it averages at about 30%.
If I was to run a too big of a game for the little Xperia to handle, naturally CPU jumps to close to 100%, but the lag it causes is constant. The game just slows down a bit in rate but there are no freeze-screen type of lags.
However, if I was to run Google Play Store (and this is the only app that seems to be critical to the system), the CPU jumps very high in percentage, and it even on occasion crashes the Xperia Active Launcher. I get a message that says Sony Ericsson home is not responding, and I get the option of either to wait or force close. Then the launcher breaks and reruns itself, reloading every single shortcut and widget.
So, how normal does this seem to you? Is there a workaround or should I ditch the Active Launcher and replace it with something else instead? Because I really like the look of the original stock ROM.
Also, while at it, is there any difference at all in performance between the Arc and Active launchers? Because they quite look the same. But perhaps there are modded versions out there that seem to be running better on the X8?
You should use the modded active launcher.
Also you can use nemus launcher.
Its very smooth.
If you want its link click on my sig. And go to must have apps thread.
And yes there is a diff b/w arc and active launcher in terms of memory usage.
Arc launcher consumes more memory.(based on my experiences)

The Nemus launcher does look really good. Even though I really like the corners that Xperia Active Launcher offers, and the overall stock ROM feel, I think that eventually performance would have to come first. The Nemus launcher looks very optimized and fast.
Is there a link you can provide to a better performing Active Launcher, the one that is modded? All I've found so far is a number of threads with same versions of Active Launchers, and a single Arc Launcher thread with numerous modded Arc Launchers (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325108). I'll probably take another shot at trying the modded Active one and then decide if switching is necessary.
BTW, I pressed Thanks
Good to see that i helped you.
No luck in finding a smoother Active Launcher, but i did find this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040668
What do you guys think, would this work with the Active launcher making it more smooth for our little phone? Also, is it the same as the "Lock home in memory" setting in CM settings?
BTW, the Nemus launcher is reaaaally smooth. I'm using it as a daily launcher while still trying something for the Active launcher here and there.
EDIT: Ticking "Lock home in memory" seems to have fixed the crashes. I need more time to see if it did the trick. Also, the phone activates much faster at the lock screen.
Using supercharger with hard to kill option enabled will prevent launcher redraws.

I'm surprised I never heard about this. I would love to install it, but beforehand I would have to install a newer version of BusyBox. My version is 1.15.3. I've read somewhere that if you install a different version of BusyBox after you flash a new ROM that there is a good possibility of hardbricking the phone? How true is this for FroyoPro and is it safe to do?
EDIT: I've noticed that the crashes, following the activation of "Lock in memory setting", now seem to happen only when I install or uninstall an app. At no other occassion did it happen, even if I was to bombard the phone with app activations. I switched through the Active, Nemus, ADW and Zeam launchers, and it seems it happens on all of them. I don't think this is any longer a launcher issue, so I started investigating.
It seems that moving the apps to the SD card was when the problem first began. I did some reading on the internet, and some users believe that having too much apps can in time start clogging the launcher whenever there are too many apps for it to call. There's no easy fix, short of buying a phone with a much bigger RAM capacity. Then again 3rd party scripts like this Supercharger you mentioned can help, but I'm not sure how safe it is to run on my phone. I've read about lots of cases where the phones became hardbricked. Still waiting for feedback on that one
If it asks for upgrading busybox then dont use it.
'cos me got hardbrics 3 times in attempt to install busybox.

A shame But thanks for the warning. The problem isn't much of a hassle anyway for the risk of a brick. Perhaps if I was to some day get another phone and won't care less about what happens to this one.

I'm using Nova Launcher with One More Clock as my Clock\Weather widget. I've noticed that the widget does not update the time regularly - i.e. it'll stop updating after some time and it seems to be fairly random. Once it stops, I have to refresh the widget in order for it to update again. I've tried a couple of other widgets and the behaviour is the same, so I'm pretty sure it's not the widget. I've also gone and ensured it is a protected app, but still the non-refresh behaviour continues.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I don't see it with the stock widget on EMUI...
That happens with emui launcher too. All widgets which are not stock stop updating after a certain amount of time.
Works fine for me. Make sure the launcher and the apps are "protected" in the battery settings. If you want regular android behavior just hit protect all in that menu. This allows apps to keep running and update while the screen is off.
The battery saving options are turned on by default with this phone. Under settings/apps/advanced you can also allow apps to ignore battery optimizations.
If you are rooted you can also just freeze the phone manager and powergenie all together to get stuff to update etc (that's what I did)

I've done everything you mention except rooting the phone. I want a phone that works without rooting, so I guess the P9 isn't really suitable for me. Too bad, as the hardware and general design of the phone is really good, but EMUI really lets it down. Additionally, I'm not happy with the software update strategy for it either. I'm on build 134 for the P9(EVA-L09) and I've seen builds 136 & 152 in the wild for my device variant and geography, but there seems to be no update for my phone. And I have the green garbled images for a lot of the photos that I take, for which I've been waiting on a fix.

I had this issue on FutureRom which i guess waa based on l09.. reverted back to my L19 and the issues don't exist.. might be a buggy PhoneManager is to blame..
But why if you don't mind my asking? I've never used non rooted or non jailbroken phones. You get some nice additional features for free. Every company had phones with broken updates or other issues, if you wanna take things into your own hands and not be dependent on them, you know what to do
Wow that became quite the speech. Sorry :angel:

It's been working for 24 hours now updating every hour. Protected under battery settings + ignore battery optimizations under "Apps" wasn't enough, but when I also changed CPU from Smart to Performance it seems to be working. I also re-added the widget on the homescreen afterwards to make sure settings worked.

Hello,
I really love my P20 Pro (and also the normal P20 lying around here) but there is one thing that annoys the heck out of me, with both these phones.
I updated them both to the newest version (which is 9.0.0.203 for me, at least for the pro, not sure about the non-pro, but it's up to date as well) and everytime (or at least at 80% of the time) I hit the rectangle recent apps it's just a black screen showing me a slight bar of my background and how much RAM I use. Nothing else. I need to close up the recent apps and open it again, hoping it works that time. (Also added a Screenshot of it down there.)
Anyone has the same problem or a solution to this?

Do you use a different launcher than default one? I think it's related to that. Also,after every major upgrade,it's recommended a factory reset(make a backup to your photos,contacts,etc...NOT APPS,only their data) then factory reset the phones. I think you did not do that after upgrading.

I use nova launcher. I could try using the stock launcher for a bit and see if that fixes that.
And yeah, I didn't factory reset afterwards. I might try it on the normal P20 first and see if that works.
Only thing I tried was wiping the cache partition but it didn't help with the problem.

The most probable cause is Nova Launcher...it might not be compatible with the new system...remember,that this is not clean android,it's EMUI personalized. Try resetting if changing launcher does not fix the problem.

So Huawei really wants you to force you to use their own launcher? I really consider just living on with the bug since I hate ditching nova just because of that, since I've been using it like... 6 or 7 years now.
But I'll try switching to the stock one for a few days and yeah.

I liked Nova too,it's only an assumption,maybe in a future update of Nova this will be fixed. Maybe it's not EMUI's fault...apps need to be adapted to the new android and customizations from different manufacturers...so...maybe this will be fixed with an update from Nova. Or even from EMUI,but generally,if every other apps work,it might be the app fault,not the system. EMUI is a little different,so some options are not the same with stock android.
Hi All,
So I have been trying to switch to android 10 couple times (3 exact) but because of it's bugs/annoyances it is really impossible to have it as a daily driver. Here are couple that I've found:
- bottom chin when keyboard is enabled (like really, what the hell. I know that for some folks that option is great and all, but it is making the keyboard unusable for me. I often touch the spot where the space bar should be and because of that writing seems very uncomfortable...
- LAG WHEN COMING BACK TO HOMESCREEN FROM APP - this is the biggest one for me. That problem occurs when you are using a custom launcher (like Nova, Evie etc.). Every time when you are coming from app to the homescreen, there is slightly delay in animation (like icons need some time to load...). That for me is biggest issue. Why do I need to withstand the lag in the system, when I have the fastest android smartphone on the planet?! Yet still i haven't found an solution for that (besides turning the animation completely off....)
If you don't have any those (or similar) problems and for you this update is gods gift then please don't respond....
I'am really disappointed with this Update and it seems that Oneplus is not going fix/change anything at all with it because they have already started rolling out the updates for Oneplus 6...
Feel free to comment on that topic
Thanks
Paweł
Just so you know the keyboard space is on every phone with Android 10, it is part of Googles implementation of gestures. It allows the use of gestures while the keyboard is open without typing or typing without triggering gestures.
Have you thought of using the stock luncher?...
@Snowolf940
Well Mr. Snow wolf, "sucks" is a relative term but I found 10.0.0 too buggy for me so I moved back to 9.5.11 and waited for another update.
10.0.1 solved all of the issues that bothered me except that annoying space under the keyboard. That made it so difficult to type for me. I understand the frustration there.
I stumbled upon this awesome fix yesterday here at xda. -100 did it best for me. The -75 was not enough removal of space.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/themes/fix-adb-disable-black-bar-10-0-1-t3987731
I haven't noticed the animation lag on Nova (which I am using) you were speaking about so sorry I can't help with that. But I would genuinely be surprised if it wasn't ironed out in the next update which personally I would guess would be soon.
I hope this helps you. Hang in there man. There will be better days ahead.
I don't know exactly what the issue with the keyboard layout is, but my keyboard hasn't changed.

It has been stated many times across many threads here at xda regarding the space between the keyboard and the bottom of the phone when using gestures (not a nav bar). When someone is not used to that space, users are hitting it accidentally instead of the spacebar creating many errors in typing. If you are using a navbar this does not apply. The keyboard you are using is not relevant either.

I am just really disappointed with this update. I have thought that the company like Oneplus just can't roll out so unpolished firmware.
Right now iam afraid that going back to 10 will be just waste of time....

I have not had this issue with the toast notification. I also haven't had the animation issue either. There are users having no problems at all on 10 so maybe you need to investigate more.
My only issue was with the keyboard and that modification fixed it.
You have other companies literally breaking wifi and data with updates so if OnePlus adds a space under the keyboard which has a fix, I think most will think it's okay.
But I would at least try the keyboard fix instead of just complaining when others are giving solutions.
The Facebook thing I don't know because I don't use Facebook and that app is the worst app for a phone known to man.
I've noticed some apps crashing, but I'm rooted so it is what it is. Overall no major issues here

Same thing with my issues with Android 10.
So after reinstalling it (4th time, full wipe every time ofc), I still have a delay when coming back to the homescreen from my Lanucher (it doesn't matter which 3rd party launcher I use). It's really pissing me off...
Once again, I do not understand comments like "for me everything works fine/ I can't see the problem".

I'll report that I'm on ob5 and this is awesome. Android auto running well as is everything else. I guess I avoided the user error bug. I figure, if we have identical phones, and mine works great on the same software another is having issues with, it's either user error or maybe a bad phone and it needs to be replaced? Not sure.

Oh, there's also no delay going to the homescreen on a proper setup. If you want to use gestures on a custom launcher, it has to have quickstep support and you need to use quickswitch to set it as the recents provider

Honestly, I am surprised that nobody else has this problem with the delay or "notices" it. Of course I am happy for you! :good:
But unfortunately I also have this problem and it sucks really!
I have had the problem with Lawnchair, but the Nova Launcher also has this problem. Installing QuickSwitch does not help, it says that the launcher is not compatible with it...
That alone makes me think about either going back to Android 9 or trying out a custom Rom. But the problem seems to be widespread on Android 10.
Actually, the Stock Launcher is great, but I don't have the possibility to adjust icon sizes and grid. The presets are not enough. And I really don't like the drawer with this strange semi-transparent background.
At the end, i really hoping so that one or the either probem(s) will be fixed. I'm soo upset because of this crap but i should not be able to be so on such an high priced smartphone really...
Maybe you are mostly on Open Beta 5/6 and that lag is actually fixed?!..

I have started to notice the lag on launcher when unplugging the phone after using Android Auto.
What fixes it for me is to lock the screen and unlock it again a few times and then if will become responsive again.
This oddly (or not...) also coincides with some server side changes that Google pushed to Android Auto to enable the new features.
Adding here that the theme changes have just gone worse with 10.0.2 - theme follows the car, so if you use a dark theme and the car is in daytime, it will change the theme on the phone to bright when you exit Android Auto.
Also, the audio quality is pretty horrid and still not fixed, but I am experiencing with a workaround and will report when I have more concrete results
Hi all,
For some reason some notifications are not visible on the statusbar.
They can be seen on the Always On display, and if you pull down the statusbar the notifications are visible there, but not on the statusbar itself as an icon.
I noticed that you can configure each app individually to either show or not, but in my case they all are configured to show the icon.
Might this be a bug? Has anyone else this same issue?
Edit: I just found the cause. Some apps have 'categories' in the 'Manage notifications' submenu. You have to click on these categories and in that submenu you have the option 'Display on statusbar'! No idea why some where set to OFF.
Hi,
I found an a french youtuber who had the same issus.
I think it need to be solved by an update.
I have another question for you, i have mine X3 pro but i need to wait til my birthday at the end of April before i can used it ....
Can you give me an short feedback of your feeling with this phone ?
Thanks

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm more impatient now ! It sound great.
And last question (I promise ) the native apps is it from Google (Gmail, chrome, Google calendar,...) ? Or Oppo (like Samsung mail or Samsung calandar version Oppo ) ? Thanks again
It has a lot of Google apps builtin. I didn't really see many Oppo equivalents.
However, some apps can't be uninstalled, which I hate. Think Facebook.

I have no use for BREENO[in Chinese] or Hey Tap[ seems to replace a familiar Android System admin app] .. Cannot use Google1 to restore old SMS/MMS from my Oneplus5. Cannot select new default messaging app [ TEXTRA] . Cannot , or cannot recall how to select default Launcher [EVIE]. Hope we get ROMs here eventually so to have it behave more like a OnePlus /US phone than a Chinese phone.
Help!

default Launcher? I haven't set one for a couple of years, but now I cannot seem to figure how to choose my own preferred [Evie] , or why I cannot set default Messaging App [Textra], or get back my SMS/MMS that are backed up by Google1 to G-Drive.
How did you get Nova as chosen default Launcher?

I just installed Nova and it set itself as the default.
But if you go to settings and type default app then you can set all the default apps too.

Where did you buy your phone? I guess you have a Chinese OS Version?
I have no Breeno, no textra or Hey Tap.

Example: Settings, Messaging App: only shows choice Oppo-native, installed one. In Textra it prompts to make it default,, but sending a message results in the device declaring for some security reason it is resetting default to OPPO-native. BTW, OPPO-native is a low function featurelss app.
Launcher: old OnePlus5 in Default Apps has category: Home app [Launcher selection] , nothing like it in the choices under Default Apps on the FindX3pro
Google1 blocked from backing up MMS
My preferred File Manager: ES File Explorer pro lets me attempt to attach my G-Drive [cloud], passes through all the steps correctly, only to conclude "Auth Failed". The g-dive is fully accessible using the Google Drive app, but integration with ES is convenient, has been for years.
Any idea on how to address 'security issues' for either messaging or ES File Explorer?

Exactly, AliExpress straight from China. Language: English fine, but perhaps I was sloppy not being sure of a "Global version" . Any thoughts? Patience: Wait for rooting and ROMs?
Where did you get yours? Version?
Textra? I installed. My preferred Messaging App [ LOL, not OPPO's clearly]

I got one from my provider in Holland. International version.
Maybe it is possible to update it with an international ROM? I don't know if the connectivity is working fine too, 4G, 5G?

Sure look forward to giving it a try. Not even sure if there are tiny differences that would make the intl-ROM incompatible. I'm getting OTAs but the Chinese ones I think
[4G coverage good, not noticed or had 5G yet].
Over the last 4yrs I think I only took OTA from OnePlus & rooted it. The 4yrs prior the lock on the Samsung Note4 was never 'broken', Then 3 yrs prior with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate I sure enjoyed XDA-roms & rooting, but that was long ago, & I'm still dependent on skills of others.

I quit custom roms after the S7. And that one had a OneUI based 'optimized' ROM.
Maybe you can try this (I haven't just saw it yesterday in my ColorOS telegram group)

Problem with Nova or any custom launcher on any Android 11 phone is that the navigation gestures dont work properly, there is a screen flicker issue when you swipe to go to homescreen. Thats why i am stuck with stock launcher on any new phone i get.
