So whenever I play an heavier game (Ex.: Gameloft's Tintin, Backstab, Blood and Glory, etc), it crashes after a random amount of time, usually between 5 and 20 minutes. Is this normal?
I already tried V6 supercharger, underclocking the phone and removing several apps and widgets to free some RAM, but to no avail...
Details:
- Xperia Neo running 4.0.2.A.0.42, rooted (ZergRush exploit);
- Bloatware removed + 36 SE apps moved to the SD;
- Go Launcher + 4 widgets (Go Clock + Go Calendar + Widgetsoid + Minimalistic Text);
36 SE apps moved to the SD
Should you be even doing that ???!!
Im guessing its due to you moving the SE apps to SD
Games worked fine before you moved the 36files ??
Underclocking?
I think you could better overclock than underclock if you experience this problem. I use inteks kernel v15 and i never experienced any stability issues at 1,4 GHz.
Yes, try to overclock the CPU.
But it's the game that crashes or it's the phone that it reboots?

Those apks represent widgets, applications and functionality I don't use (such as Timescape + Timescape Plugins, Chinese keyboard + Skins, SE Store, etc). I know what they do and the problem persists whether or not they are installed.

It's the game that crashes. No warning, the screen goes black and it quits to the home screen.

Thanks for the tip, but I really don't want to unlock the bootloader just in case I have a defective unit.
So are you guys saying that you don't have this issue with any of the games I mentioned above? Is it possible that my phone has some obscure issue that prevents it from working properly? Should I try another ROM? This issue also occurred in 2.3.3...
Quick Question :
What app did you use to move the SE apps to SD ??

Did the back of your mobile got heated after the crashed done?
if that so, try to install again the app/games that you download.
or reboot your phone go to CMW clear cached and dalvick.

It heats up a little. I tried to underclock the processor but the problem still persists.
And again, thanks for the tip, but I really don't want to unlock the bootloader yet... just in case I have a defective unit.

I didn't want to move those apps - I wanted to removed them and keep a backup on the SD card. And yes, I also use Apps2SD.

Hi! I'm not sure what I can do to test the card. I'm going to try a couple of utilities on my PC right now to see if I have any luck...
Problem solved.
Just for reference, I formatted the SD card and flashed the phone (wipe user data). Right now I installed 70% of the apps I that used to have and the games work fine.
It's also noticeably faster than before... I'm not really sure what was slowing it down.

THIS ARTICLE IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES. ALL CREDITS TO THE APP OWNER. FOR THOSE WHO KNOW ABOUT THIS APP , LEAVE NO COMMENTS.
I found an application on the market called 'Swapper for root' , which creates a swap memory to speed up your android device.
I tried it and found some great improvement on my regular usage speed. Search ' swapper' on the market and install.
Some changes i noted-
* No lagging in 'Abduction when switching to full graphic detail
* Home screen more responsive
*Apps loading a bit faster
*ROOT REQUIRED*
Let me know if the app does good for you!
Hi. How did you measure your 30% speed increase?

I've just edited the post Read
Just tried this on my mini pro.
The app works, as far as i can see but by using the busybox free command, as recommended by the app owner, it does not use any swap memory.
There is a swap file created on the sdcard though!
Any thought on this?
Thanx for mentioning the app!

OT
Abduction works flawlessly on my x10 mini pro. Even NFS Shift works smoothly. The only app that stall in the middle of the game for me is iBasket. I have to kill some apps before playing it.
-Pabs
Abduction gets sluggish on the stage where it rains !!
Buat... The real name of the app is swap for root 2?
Thank You!
Well it works fine
How swap works
In my opinion it doesn't makes sense because swap is used just when does not there any memory ram available in the system, and if that occurs frequently there something wrong, maybe there are many apps installed; more than the phone can handle.
To know if this app is making effect, download "terminal emulator" and type "free -m". That will show how much swap space is used. If it is 0 this swap app does not make any effect.
Means it using our SDcard as RAM when the internal ram is used up?
Sure will the SDcard class type play some role too?
And running this apps in the background is also some resources eater as well as battery drainer??
'hi ppl
Just wondering, has anyone got Pocket Legends to work on your HTC Legend handsets? I can't find it on the market, and when I try to install the .apk, it just says I don't have enough space...
It is working fine on my Legend. Clear up some space and try installing it again.
When I try to install it, it simply won't!
Azure, most recent. "Application can't be installed" (Translated from dutch this is) I have 50mb free internal, and 2,4gb external. It won't install on either.e
Try downloading from another source. Maybe the apk that you have is broken. I had that issues with some apk, but I redownload and everything went fine.

I got the same message (about insuffienct space) when trying to install Angry Birds, until they released the new version for lower res devices, so I was afraid it was the same problem.
I'll keep working on this then..

hmm, well I've tried 4 different .apks now and I have +60mbs available.

Don't think so. Anyone playing? Add me - Rajasyaitan. This game is awesome! Lol.
Has anyone got it on an unrooted phone? I suppose it would install direct to SD on 2.2 which would negate the whole size issue.
It is kinda insane since I can find it on the market on my wife's x10 mini running 2.1, but not on my Legend...

Thought rather than creating a new thread for each bug found in subpsyke's latest release of CM7 for the i5500 (20120206) we should just compile them here, perhaps make life slightly easier for the developer???

I5500NEJP1
Upgraded form CM7 1.9 hf3
Couldn't install apps from the market, phone gave 'not enough space' error during install of apk. I experienced a similar problem in early versions of CM7.
Also theme chooser app behaving strangely, only two available themes in there, one of which was not displayed correctly.
MUCH LOVE TO THE DEVS FOR THE SMARTPHONE REPUBLIC.
Good initiative on creating this thread!
I´m having the same problem with the theme chooser, where it won´t display one of the themes. I have 3 themes, and one of them (androidian) displays as a black rectangle.
So far, nothing other than that.

Everytime psyche release a new version of te CyaogenMod porting for our GT-I5500 I take a look into the zip file of the rom.. I do that 'cause I use to remove some bloat I don't use and something I don't need, like live wallpapers, quite all the CM wallpapers (which i finf horrible), File Manager (I insert RootExplorer), ADW Launcher (I get my version of ADW Launcher EX) and so on..
Usually I also use to remove 2 of the 3 defult themes of this rom, 'cause I never liked them.. They were called Androidian and Cyanbread, if I well remember..
but this time, in version 2.0 I cannot find anymore those themes, so I assume that only the default theme this time is been installed into this version..
Infact into my Theme Chooser there is only the default theme (and the 2 I installed after first use, I love LunarUI!! )and much of all I cannot notice any error on Theme Chooser!!
I think that you could consider wiping your cache and your data; if this could not help flash alla gain from start! If you don't want to loose your data (but I'm sure you have not so much data after 1 day of use, or you already backup before flash this new version) wait for a psyche reply (if he will read) or post directly into the MadTeam forum..
Anyway, for me, no error till now.

It happens to me with calls sometimes. I might be browsing the web, then I get a call, and I can't answer it because the screen is black. It would be good if we could answer with the physical button, but I can't find any settings to get it working.

Titanium Backup * Root is what you need here. It should come preinstalled on all android devices in my opinion.
It will allow you to backup all your existing apps and system data to your SD card so one you've reflashed your device you need only download Titanium and restore them.
- You could save a copy of the Titanium apk to your SD so you wouldn't even have to download that

sure you can, but you will indeed loose the signature/md5 of the file, but if you don't use the signature verification in CWM you won't need it.. anyway you MUST pay attention when modifying those files, 'cause they will go to replace system files into your phone, so be sure they are not corrupted (for example veryfy files with the archive manager).
Usually I use to unzip all the folder and then zip it again: but I do that 'cause I need to remove / change a lot of files (I remove all non italian/english languages, for example).. if you want to remove only the FileManager.apk you can do that directly with WinRAR: remove it and then add RootExplorer.apk (I follow the same name style)..
Just a little note: I'm not sure that all the apk you will put in will work!! For example once I tryed to do that with SamsungApps apk but it didn't start!!
enjoy!!

Well, when i open the calendar in 1 day view, if i navigate to the sides using the navigation buttons, the app freezes and after a while i get an error message saying the app is not responding, and i have to force-end it.
This doesn't happens if i use the touchscreen, only if i use the navigation buttons.
Asides from that, i´m getting random crashes and freezes that didn't happen in v1.9... i´m considering a downgrade.

try to use a taskmanager app, to see what is running and how much memory it uses.
Also install greenify, even if u dont have root, and set it to kill the apps that are not necessary to you.
Things like this happen on all phones when there is no ram, bad optimization of the ROM or bad ram management (phone tried to kill the apps to keep core procceses up).
Hi there, I have an Xperia z1 on latest android kit kit rooted with xposed.
I have had a lot of lag and it's weird Because one second it's buttery smooth then suddenly crazy lag spike!!

Make sure you install your root app (SuperSU or Superuser) and Xposed into /system/app if not already. For backing up apps and Settings, I prefer Titanium Backup. Reset in recovery.
If you want to know what's causing the lag, it's possible that a logcat could tell us what's going on. There's plenty of info on here and Google about how to run a logcat.

You'd have to run the logcat when it starts to lag and post it for others to take a look at. Copy and paste to pastebin.com and provide the link. It's not my forte, though I understand some of it. Hopefully someone else will come by and check it out.
Thing is the lag is sooo fast, like its just spikes?

Sounds like a badly coded app causing memory leaks which is utilizing too much RAM. After a reset, might be best to start adding back apps a few at a time to try and pinpoint the problem.
