Hello people I have a question:
My phone has only like 40 apps installed, with go launcher ex and some widgets, but every time I turn it on when I get to the menu its like slow, when I try to move between apps again the same slowness, and then after some time the slowness dissappear and goes normal. What can it be?
Thanks
That happens because you are running too many processes at the same time, try killing some via Adv. Task Killer, then tell me if it works. And the slow boot is because there are too many apps (you said ONLY 40 ) when I had 50 it was Very Very Very slow, then I uninstalled some of them and its very quick now. Or the slow boot is because of your rom, try MiniCM7 Pro by paul-xxx, its very good, fast and stable.
Hope it helps you

Thanks for anwering, are 40 apps too much? I thought the phone would slow at 150 apps or sth lol.
I have the custom firmware 2.1 sony, and I dont know much about roms like MiniCM7, Saw them in a lot of topics but never understood, are they firmwares? The apps I have installed in my phone with SE firmware will work in that rom? Does multitouch works there?
Really thanks
By the sounds of it you should read a bit more so you understand what were on about before you think about cm or custom roms or pm I will explain a bit better

It becomes slow with 150 apps only if you have a very good processor and RAM, but if not you just [email protected]* your cellphone. And the custom roms are like new Android versions, for example I use MiniCM7 Pro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116), its very quick and stable, so I installed it via CWMrecovery (if you want root and install xrec: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913136). And so I'm using Gingerbread now on my cellphone. If you need help PM me
There is actually nothing wrong with 150 apps. It's just the apps that self launch as services in the background that cause the memory issues.
Actually having 150 launcher draw icons could have some impact.

my sony x10 too laggy when i use live wallpaper, does anyone knows about the optimize x10 with .apk? like one click lag fix on SGS ?
Usually it will lag until it caches everything, then with time it will only get better, JIT helps as well but some of who used it faced battery problems ( I was one of them ) having 7 hours of battery life, however with time I noticed a huge improvement as my X10i now can go more than 20 hours with live wallpaper ( beautiful weather live wallpaper ) and JIT.
you can un-install Timescape and all of its components as it improves your device performance a lot

you can always re-flash it to the original state and gain the warranty again
It's you choice in the end, but many people are doing that.
You can backup timescape before un-installing it, similar to what I did, so whenever I wanted it back all I have to do is restore it

Use minfreemanager, what will force android to free up more memory(mine about 70MB always free).
It's like a task manager, but the droid's default one. Mine is a little smoother, what's really good
Search on the market, install, and open link what it shows for details

Actually you want Android to use as much RAM as possible. If you keep forcing it to free up RAM it will make things worse. Let the OS do its job people! This is not Windows!
can you video how to install JIT app? i have rooted my x10 with Z4root

Actually there are ppl around here with ~120MB free limit with no problem. As the app have presets I use those instead of set an insane limit. And Android itself is what wipe apps from RAM, so it's not like the Windoze
The Aggressive preset means ~65MB and this is still better than default ~28MB

Pretty newbie
You need to combine several stuff to make your phone much more efficient :
- Delete all apps you don't need : all useless keyboards, Face Recognition (big eater), MediaScape, TimeScape, Playnow, all useless widgets ... using Root Explorer
- Use autokiller in strict mode (example), it will free up ram
- You may use Setcpu to max performance when you need (remember it will drains you battery like black hole !!)
- Use startup auditor to block unwanted processes
- Use Android System Info to monitor running processes and kill memory/cpu eaters once you don't use them anymore
- Avoid use of widgets
where i can download root explorer? i cant find it in the market...
please give me video "how to install JIT"
Hi All,
I came across a few articles online that suggest that the task managers/killers actually do more harm than good. As far as I know, the Android OS is pretty good at multitasking and managing apps when it is needed to free RAM/CPU.
Would like to hear input specifically regarding the X10 and how these apps affect the system and/or phone specially after the 2.1 update?
Thanks!
Well aince I got to 2.1 Ive havent found the need to download a task killer. Its been stable with 100-140mb constant no matter how many apps I open. But in 1.6 I was getting 20mb if I didnt use task killer lol im guessing the need for task killer as the os upgrades gets less and less as 2.2 really gets ****ed by it lol
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I've read online about how closing some apps such as mediascape will affect your other media applications cos these services are tied together. But I've always killed all of the ones I don't see myself needing in the next hour or so, and nothing's ever really crashed for me heh.
But I do make it a point to close all apps before running quadrant. Very very pleased with my 730 score

Dumb question, how do you check the RAM?
Best get something like autokiller memory optimizer.
You generally don't need much ram free and if you don't use apps that will eat the hell out of your system in the bg then there's no problem at all.
I haven't used a task killer since switching to 2.1 and there's no performance problems.
I still facing ram problem even after upgrade 2.1, hope no need any task killer anymore once we get 2.2

Not sure if the X10 will get 2.2. Looks like 2.1 is the end of the road for us.
By automatism, after I updated to 2.1 I installed advanced task killer, and at one point I noticed that, whean I had killed apps ammount of free RAM decereased ? So at that point, I uninstalled task killer to check will I notice any change in performance, and there was NONE I could notice, together with same battery duration.
So, so far I vote for no task killers.

Yeah I know we have custom ROMs. I was referring to the official update from SE. I know we will get the UXP update sometime in the future but, not sure if they will go as far as releasing a 2.2 update for the X10?
I don't use it anymore since on 2.1, when using it on 2.1 there's a lot of glitches and it DOES do more harm than good. I get better overall performance without it.

Yes but, according to Android developers, 2.1 automatically closes these idle programs to prevent that. They claim that android is capable of handling this and that any task manger apps are useless.
Read this article http://androinica.com/2010/05/07/go...-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/
Since upgrade to 2.1, I installed Task Killer. It cleaned my memory to have available mem from 80MB to 150MB. However, it got some weired behaviour such as
- X10 got lag for a moment when the screen is just back on.
- when the screen is just back on, Wifi cannot reconnect. I have to disable and enable it again.
So I read to post of Android multitasking and I try it by disable AutoKill but keep the widget on the sceen to see the available mem.
My mem keep available around 70-80MB and X10 performance is increase. No more lag or have to re-enable wifi after screen is back on.
I already remove Taskkiller but installed Watchdog instead. Because there are some bad coding software out there which comsume the battery and CPU even you've exited. In such a case, I have to kill those apps manually.
------------------------------------

You want the memory to be as full as possible!!! This means that those often used tasks are there, waiting. This is not Windows! Stop forcing Android to reload everything from scratch! No wonder things are lagging for you.
I've done many experiment about it.
Here's few conclusion, everything you guys claims are all true.
Android is nix base, fulfilling ram mean more cache, more speed.
However, more process mean more CPU usage in some service.
Some softwares are not properly coded, it, unfortunately, doesn't release the resource when it exits
And it's also true that force killing it, will eat more battery because without properly closing, it will eventually open up again
I suggest, instead of killing a task using ATK.
try this one.
http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller
It teaches android how to deal with the memory, so it's android who do your dirty job.
Hmm.... I take a look at at autokiller. I think it's better to let Android handle the mem for me. What I'm looking for is an apps that monitor backgound processes/apps that consumes CPU and memory which they should not.
Once identify those apps, I need to kill them individually.
Watchdog paid version suits me well on this purpose. I can put those apps in the blacklist. If they consumes more CPU in the background process, Watchdog will kill them automatically.
I may consider autokiller when I have of low memory warning from my X10 which is currently I have not.

I do without but my phone is seriously laggy at times, it drops under 20mb free ram within seconds after rebooting, extremely annoying! I heard things about jit, but I really have no idea how it works. Also I have a mac, so all those adb needed programs I can't run.
Is there any good application which can make my phone quicker? Now I have some times half screens by sliding through pages in the launcher, that can't be normal!

Try install these app
1. RamDroid
2. Advance Task Killer- set the killing frequency to 'switch screen off'
3. CpuTuner (setcpu)- i prefer use the 'ondemand' frequency cos i wan to conserve battery.
all free app.. and need rooted phones. it quite user friendly. jus play with it awhile, u'll know how to use.

I'm using minfreemanager from market with aggressive option, what gives me ~70MB free RAM by the Android's native taskkiller. It's the best choice as of the 2.1 have a lot services running in backround and nobody should harm them.
Trust me, minfreemanager is your weapon against slowness
Helo,
recnetly i have checked few roms and used for some time with stock kernel. I have tried Ginger DX, minicm7 v21. And here what conclution i came to:
Best rom is....stock one 2.1, no matter what features other roms do have still 2.1 is the best.
Why ? here is a lilttle overview what i think minicm7 and most of custom roms have better essential stuff than stock.
Advantages:
New android market
Battery life
New android version 2.3x
Flash Support
Better sound quality on video camera
Disadvantages:
Bad performance
roaming doesnt work properly (in some countries it connects to network in some it does not)
native thetering doesnt work
user interface just looks awful compared to original stock
Photo camera application (picture quality is just bad compared to stock)
Opera browser doesnt work stable
So i just pointed the things whom i think are really essential for a good rom.
Now a little notice about performance...
Dont be fools, do not believe that 2.3 has better performance than Stock.
IT DOES NOT
Only Quadrant scores are higher, but in practise performance is worse!
with same launcher pro and even less icons and widgets on minicm7 the performance is way worse than stock rom. For example if i want to give a call and open contacts i have to wait for a second at least to load contacts application, same with messages unless i kill all the tasks. I dont have this with stock rom. Another notice, if i use lets say Opera browser or Gameboid emulator and then go back to dekstop, widgets and icons always has to be re-drew per new. This doesnt happen on stock. Overal even with killed apps games on 2.3 are running worse then on stock 2.1 (Where is my water? Angry Birds, Gameboid, Snesoid).
So is it really worth to upgrade? I think no it is not worth to upgrade. Unless you die-hard need Flash Support and Video Camera sound. Then yes. For the rest, no i dont think so.

bad performance - sorry but i do tweaks so mine is better than stock
roaming - dont need it
tethering - is there a native tether with stock?
awful interface - maybe but stock is well stock cant be changed
opera browser - mines doing great
I use MiniCM7 Pro V21 (By god Paul) on my phone and I'm just happy, stock user interface is so ugly compared to MiniCM7.
Only think I dont like is the Camera freezes sometimes while recording a video.
A Tribute to Blade Runner
After I discover XDA-developers ....
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe....... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion....... I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate....... All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain...... Time to die......
....Time to back to Stock 2.1......
Sorry, it's only a joke, all opinions are wellcome and very respectables but, after I read your post, this scene of Blade Runner return to my memory.
A little tribute to Bade Runner.....
I think Stock is best rom... No bugs + good performance(i dont think in games )

Maybe, but on stock rom I can't connect via adhoc connection. I share internet connectio via notebook. And on stock rom it is imposible to connect on that type of wifi connection.
Also, I need ultra brightness, what is also weak point for stock rom.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Yeah stock dont have usb and wifi tethering but in market u can find aps like EastTether or WifiTether.
And stock have best launcher for this device but I think this launhcer needs modification.I dont like this fact Only 1 widget at screen and no icons at screen.
Only corners
Sent from my U20i using XDA
I respect your opinion but I don't agree. Stock from is full of touch bugs, lacks dual touch, native tethering( works now with latest custom gb and ics nAa roms) . Also, we cannot remove some of the bloatware as it is attached to some .apk bundle and we could end in boot loop or even constant force close messages. I forgot to mention that /system has 20 mb only free so laggs are guaranteed... no apps to fat32 option. I tried many times to undervolt my stock roms with apps and .ko files etc. but didn't make it... stock battery life sucks.... gaming experience is cr4p.... I can't remember anything else cause I am on custom built roms many months now.... every opinion is well accepted.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Custom > Stock.
Only if you understand well how the phone works and how to set the phone's settings and features to it's minimum or maximum performance. And also, if you managed to tweak the phone to it's best performance.
Else, Stock is the best and only option for you.
Also @ OP, those disadvantages you pointed out, on the latest stable custom ROMS out there, all of it works fine now. Except ICS, still has work to be done with that version.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Stock is nice but i think the custom rom's have more advantages that cover its disadvantages.
As for me the only disadvantage in custom rom's would be the hopeless battery life.

not really i believe you can use governors in custom roms but not in stock rom. thats why i have custom rom so i can use governors and apps to sd
Prefer custom
I've been using custom Roms for a very long time, now.
I must say that, even though custom roms have some bugs, stock rom has some bugs also. And it lacks some features, which I consider essential.
The most important is the ability of saving apps in SD card. I know (and I've used it) there's link2SD, but I needed to root my device as well. Link2SD was very unstable.
Stock lacks flash and some apps won't run under 2.1.
Battery life? The same.
Stock apps? Great looks, I'll give them that. But some are very basic.
I needed to install some apps that come with custom roms. I prefer to install custom rom.
The main app, to me, is phone/contacts. Stock app is lame.
Will stick to cm7-2.2.0, for now.
Sorry to disagree in every point. I have a x10 mini (not pro).
I couldn't find a single advantage on the stock rom over the custom miniCM7 (2.2.1).
The stock 2.1 rom feels like a slower CPU and GPU, it's sluggish and lags to the touch. I think the interface is OK, with the corner shortcuts and the bigger icons. It was well designed, but I always end up unintentionally arrainging icons in the menus and the corner shortcuts because of the lag. Applications are painfully slow, including the dialer. As a windows computer: when I fresh install (factory reset) the mini, it's fairly responsive, but as soon as I install half a dozen apps it gets sluggish again.
Bad performance?
-no, much better responsiveness and performance with miniCM7 even with lots of apps installed.
roaming doesnt work properly (in some countries it connects to network in some it does not)
-This one I can't tell
native thetering doesnt work
-stock has none.
user interface just looks awful compared to original stock
-matter of taste maybe. I like the new UI better all the way.
Photo camera application (picture quality is just bad compared to stock)
-Maybe in older versions? this one works better, and now I can have instagram.
Opera browser doesnt work stable
-It works fine here.
I am a little dazzled because, in my x10 mini, things are about opposite. Everything is just smoother with the new rom, and the old rom fails me exactly in the way the new rom fails to you: it's unresponsive, slow, annoying, glitchy. Maybe it's just personal taste, or something is different between our phones.
So my girlfriend got a X10 Mini (E10).
It came with 1.6 Cupcake, so I updated to official 2.1 and then rooted. Then installed nAa kernel and installed miniCM on her phone.
Seems to run smooth so far. But the anti-aliasing settings seems to be very off. It's hard to see the text.
But, there are some "bloatware" that she will not need and will probably press and mess up phone settings. Like the theme chooser, spare parts, terminal emulator, DSPManager, etc...
I know you can disable the shortcuts, but they still take up space. Yeah I know you can uninstall with what-you-call-it-app
But are there other roms that have minimal apps installed? It's her first smartphone, and I want her to be able to install and try a lot off apps. I saw the MIUI, but doesnt look like its stable yet.
Are there any stable 4.x roms yet?
There are so many Gingerbread roms to chose between, and there are quite a few ICS roms too! Don't know where to start really
So - whats important for her;
- Smooth and stable
- Easy
- A lot of space
If you want smooth and stable, stick with GB, all the ICS-ROMS have some trouble with lag, often with waking up and receiving calls, not to mention the missing hardware-acceleration with encoding en decoding video.
Try MiniCM7 or DingerDX on the nAa GB kernel.
If you want to get rid of things like spare parts and dsp-manager, you can do so in Settings - Applications, or remove them manually from system/apps with a file-explorer with root access.
By the way: You may call that bloatware, but since they're all installed in system/app and not in the user-application space (data/app) they won't take away any space for user-installable apps, because the /data is on a different partition in the internal storage. And ofcourse you can always enable A2SD in settings - Cyanogenmod settings - Applications for more application-space.

Unfortunately The only real MIUI Rom is based on an ICS rom, which is not very stable and has not been updated in a while either. I would love to see a GB-based MIUI, but i guess everyone is too excited about ICS and JellyBean to do anything with GB anymore.
Hi,
Has anyone else noticed this? When I freeze bloatware in Titanium Backup on a stock Sammy rom, my device begins te lag a lot more than usual. But when I leave all of the bloatware, it's way smoother, is this even possible?

U might have frozen them but the phone still tries to activate them through startup.
Download ES task manager and remove the start up of the bloat you froze and then reboot the phone.
What apps have you frozen?

You catch my drift, I guess. Just basic stuff I don't ever use. I've got the same effect when I just disable them in Applications manager.
Also, I flashed LL5 recently and I didn't disable anything at all, runs smoother now but I do notice some lags sometimes as I run out of ram.

Added it now, XDA-app was acting funky.
Hmmmm I'd suggest downloading one of the de-bloat mods or using a custom rom such as WanamLite or Omega with bloatware removed or Foxhound Essentials (Skinny rom) or Hyperlight. Any rom can be stripped of fat but some do it easier. Hyperlight is only 230mb in size where as most roms are around 800mb although I found this version of hyperlight to be a bit laggy at times. I used to find WanamLite laggy at times but this current version (in my sig) and without all the crapsung apps runs so smooth. .
If you want to squeeze in a bit more ram, use Perseus kernel which raises the limit to 856mb of ram compared to your 832. Don't worry if you get to down to around 120mb free, just means apps you use are in ram. If you see apps you never use being cached in ram then use an app like Autostarts to disable them from loading at boot or just freeze them totally

No offence to the hard working developers and all, but I've tried about 2 dozen of 3rd party roms / custom roms so far and yet, I haven't seen any rom that doesn't lag at all and I always keep getting back to stock Sammy rom.
Right now I'm on stock 4.1.2 with stock everything and no apps disabled or whatsoever and it runs like a motherf*cking train.
Okay, ram usage is at ~100-150 MBs free, but seems to be waaaay smoother than stock rom with disabled apps or debloated. Don't know why though.
Anyways, thanks for your help and for the replies!
