[Q] kernel update brings lag? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when i was on das bamf 1.6 i was using imo's 1.92x extreme leankernel v1.23 i think it was, and i had bought starfront collision, and it worked smoothly and everything. however, when i updated the kernel to a newer version, the game wud lag on that kernel, and it has been lagging ever since, even when i transferred the game into my GB roms. the setcpu min/max settings were always set exactly the same, and i tested it on every governor, and it wuz still lag. i dont understand. wudnt updating the kernel make it run faster or something?

[Q] OC Kernels with VirusROM

Is anyone running an OC kernel with VirusROM? I was thinking about flashing the bamf 1.2 ghz OC kernel. Am I going to run into any issues? Thanks for your help! The TB was enough to convert me away from Blackberry. Still trying to get up to speed!
Been running that kernel all day with VirusRom, no issues.
Was running that one for a while went back to the Drod 1.8 tho. But yeah, it ran smooth for me, no freezes or lag.
Tbolt - VirusRom_rc1b1-drod1.8ghz

How to OC the Vibrant past 1.5ghz??

so i have always run overclock kernels w/out any problems. bali at 1.2, bullet at 1.42, bullet at 1.48, and i cant remember the name, but another kernel at 1.5. all without any problems.
I want to try to clock higher. I have tried the app Tegrak, while using bullet 1.48, but it wont let me clock past 1.48.
Is the only solution to try to build a kernel myself, are there any Vibrant kernels that clock faster then 1.5, or is there an app that will let me set my clock speed above the preset?
thanks
Glitch kernel for MIUI and CM7 allows clocking up to 1.7ghz. It's rarely stable, but if your CPU is capable, use the ML or LL versions and see how far you can go.
You'll have to be using MIUI or CM7, obviously.

the thing is that im on always on 2.2 or 2.2.1
Yeah was gonna suggest glitch+cm7or miui but if you are on 2.2...
I think cmenard might have made a 1.54ghz bullet(only worked on some vibrants,needed good cpu)
can't remember if it was GB bullet or 2.2 though. google it yourself....
If you're not willing to move to MIUI or CM7, there's not much you can do. Regardless, 1.5ghz and above is rarely stable anyways. Only thing that has gotten me past 1.3ghz stable is the Glitch kernel with the medium leak CPU tweaks.
It is possible to build 1.7ghz frequencies to a froyo kernel(the kernel dev just have to know where to add it), but chances are few phones would be able to handle it, and battery life would seriously decrease at those frequencies. My opinion is 1.7ghz on a vibrant isn't worth it.

[Q] Lag

Hi, i'm using b39 Aokp rom with sirkay's kernel and i'm getting a little lag with HD games. I was playing FIFA 12 and it was lagging a bit. After change the goveror to intelidemand it was better but not 100%. I set the cpu max to 1.4 GHz.
What can i do to get better performance? Delete useless apps? Free ram?
Update your ROM and kernel, or use a faster ROM. Stuff like PolishBlood's and FXP's is pretty good. Lower your OC as well, to prevent damage to phone

[Q] How can I overclock this tab with ICS?

Hello, I'm have a GT-P7510 running Task's ICS, kernel 3.1.10 (stock one i think, no other kernels have been flashed)
I was playing Mass Effect Infiltrator (yes, we can play it even though Play store says it isnt compatible) and find that it lags like hell at the final boss (runs smoothly before that though). I also install the Mass Effect live wallpaper and find that it kinda laggy. In addition to some minor lags with TW, I decided to OC it. I'm a noob and I think I might wanna find some info about this issue first before frying or bricking my tab.
So, can I OC it with this kernel? If not, what other kernel can I flash? If so, is there a free app to OC? How can I set the specs with that app (for best experience)? I find myself confused when I hear about "undervoltage" somewhere. Can it help me save my battery? The battery in sleep mode is kinda good though, 0-1% loss when left overnight.
And final question, does OC-ing eat up my battery???
Can you OC with what kernel? You didn't mention the kernel you flashed to overclock.
Clock speed can be changed with Antutu CPU Master.
Overclocking will "eat" your battery if you go high. 1200 or 1400 Mhz should be fine.
I didn't flash any kernel. The 3.1.10 kernel came with the rom.

You have to flash a custom kernel to overclock. Check the development section.
from what i read, there are yoda and A1, which one is better, and more stable? oh and do you know what keyboard out there is best? SwiftKey is good but auto correct is so damn annoying.

[Q] Stock smoother than custom rom?

Ok right now I have a US 4.0 player and I'm currently running the stock rom. It runs fairly smoothly and I get a Quadrant score of just 1264. Previously I have successfully rooted it, installed Terrasilent kernel 1.3.5. I then installed EtherealRom 2.4. But I noticed that the player did not run smoothly at all, even though I got a slightly higher Quadrant score of 1330ish. I then went back to stock and things again ran smoothly even at the lower Quadrant score. So I rooted it again and installed Terrasilent kernel again. I then installed the Icy Fusion V2.3 rom. Again the player really lagged even through I was getting a higher Quadrant score than stock. When playing music through Poweramp doing anything else at all makes it stutter like crazy. And I tried other music players with the same result. Even scrolling through the screens get's all laggy when nothing is running. All I really use my player for is music, gps, surfing the web and reading rss articles. I don't play any games on it. I have tried switching to Ext4 and that didn't help either. Does anyone have any idea why using a custom kernel and rom makes it run so much crappier than stock? I know other people are getting it to run good with the custom rom and kernel. I'm just not sure what to try to get the same results as others.
I'm no expert on ROMs but remember stock has everything working like HW acceleration so that might be it. And also ICS is more demanding the 2.3 so it could be that. For me stock wasn't smooth at all.

Thanks for the response, but I'm pretty sure that both the roms I tried are both 2.3 variants, not ICS.
I tried flashing Terrasilent and Icy Fusion again and kept it overnight to see if anything needed time to process in the background. But as of today it is still running as before, very laggy and choppy.
Hanthesolo has some i9000 ports to the galaxy player 4 that worked very good for me.

Most of the time ROMs don't run as smooth as the original stock one. However, I used both Ethereal and IcyFusion and I haven't seen much lag on either. You should try bumping up the min clock speed to 400mhz or 800mhz, and keeping the max clock speed at 1000mhz. Also I listen to PowerAmp, while using Voodoo Amplifier, DSP Manager, and emulating genesis/snes games at a clock speed of 800mhz to 1000 mhz and I only see micro lag at best. Sometimes you might have too many background apps running on the player, so I would go to task manager and if you see that is 300mb or more for ram usage then that's why the player is lagging.
I use icy fusion along with terrasilent and had same results until I installed autokiller memory optimizer. I have it set to extreme. Smooth as butter now. I also have min set to 400 and max set to 1000 using set CPU.

I just tried out alpha 4 of CM10 on my player 5.0
I did not overclock that
but it is quite smooth for UI animations/transitions.
Maybe because it is Jelly Bean
5.0 and 4.0 has the same hardware, why is it that 5.0 is smoother than 4.0?
Thanks for the tips guys! It was a memory issue I guess. Not sure why stock handled it better, but once I installed a task killer things smoothed right out in the Ethereal rom.
I will switch to an ICS rom once they get that camera figured out. I know the 4.0 camera isn't great, but I use it a lot.
My friend told me that it is best to stick with CM7 because it does not have ad many bugs as CM9 or CM10

I use daily on GP 5.0 chip rom with adw launcher on 1.5 ghz and V6 supercharged...its so much smoother than stock that cant compare.

Also I just wanted to add that I've tried every launcher available on the market and the best running one for me is launcher pro. Everyone said its old and outdated but hands down, its been the best launcher in terms of performance. The only thing that has come close is the new smart launcher. But it needs a few things added in features for me to use it every day. Good luck.

I noticed that the stock rom on 5.0 runs better than the custom gingerbread rom we have.
You should try an ICS rom. Yes, the camera doesn't work, but you have a Turbocharged device with amazing battery life.
The camera on the 5.0 is pretty ****ty, so i don't care about it.
Also, in Gingerbead, transitions and animations are done by the CPU, while in ICS, GPU does the job. Thats why ICS is 1000000x smoother than Ginberbread on Player 5.0
And with ICS, i don't lose any battery percentage at night, basically you have 5x standby time.
And the RAM managment on ICS is much better, i never noticed any jaggies or lag on my player since i put RemICS on it. :good:
