Hey guys I need your help The problem is that when i scroll down the statusbar it seems a little bit laggy for me. Is that normal and could you check it out on your devices? And it's only laggy when I let it scroll down slowly.
DaGodfather
I've not experienced lag on the notification bar myself, but could you give us more info? What ROM are you on, and how can we reproduce the problem?
I am on Omega 10.4 with Phenomenal 4.0 kernel. I will try FOiL 1.4 soon..
It's more likely (nearly 100% likely) to be an issue with your current configuration (ROM & kernel), so a change of ROM will probably resolve the issue, or at least change it. If you want to be sure then the best bet is to flash one of the stock or lighter ICS ROMs.
I just changed the rom and it got much better thanks mate Just one more question. Could it be that after a kernel "settles" the device could become smoother. Because i flashed Phenomenal 4.0 a few hours ago.
maybe is your ROM ... I'm using latest sammy ICS XXLPB and the status bar scroll down is super fast
Hmm okay i will try it out. How is the batterylife?

There are things that will only happen after a wipe/reset, which I assume you did as part of the flash. I suppose if you had a lot of Google data syncing then it could slow your device down for a considerable amount of time. It depends if you use things like the Google backup/restore that automatically (when it feels like it) reinstalls your market apps, or if you've got a LOT of contacts. Also the usual suspects, like Facebook and Google+.
It'll obviously vary from device-to-device, depending on how you use it. Also, I always make sure to enable wifi (if available) as soon as possible after a flash, just to ensure that any syncing is as quick as possible and not eating into my data plan.
Hmm i wiped cache and dalvik cache before i flashed the kernel but after the flash i didn't do anything like that Hmm i guess i should free my device from all that crap. thanks again!!

Okay so I took the plunge and installed my first ROM (ICS Collective Base4) among other things with my SGH-I717M (Bell). Everything went very well and here are the issues that despite reading over 500 pages in threads related to these issues, I have not been able to solve them (workarounds, sure). I'm hoping that others can confirm these glitches and whether or not they have been able to remedy them:
-Upon boot, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Annoying, but doesn't seem to affect anything. No workaround or solution.
-Baseband "unknown". Tried ODIN flash install AND coming from completely stock phone via CWM flash, neither has remedied this problem. Doesn't seem to affect anything so don't really care.
-Stock calendar application missing - really don't like some of the other calendars, but I can't seem to find the APK file in any other ICS ROM's out there, so I gave up on this. So workaround, no solution.
-Time zone wrong. Workaround is to deselect automatic network management and select the correct timezone. Reverts back to incorrect upon rebooting so apparently only a workaround and no solution.
-Upon booting setCPU max/min speeds are incorrect and you have to open the application for it to correct the speeds. Perhaps it's just the widget that's broken, but for now it's a workaround and I can't seem to figure out a solution. Quandrant benchmarks seem to indicate that if I don't do this, the performance is affected as if the speeds are 1242max/384min and not 1512max/384min.
-Phone freezes on "Power Off", have to hold power button - camera flash goes off and then restarts. Workaround seems to be to use terminal emulator or other applications to reboot, etc. Don't know if there's a solution to this.
-Wallpaper incorrectly zooms - workaround: market applications. No solution that I can find yet.
-Unrelated to the ROM, but V6 Supercharger - I can only get it to report 50% supercharged, even after modifying my services.jar file and following all "step 8" instructions (that was an undertaking!!!). Don't know what's up there, but maybe some of you super-techs have figured it out.
-Only 624MB of RAM available instead of 700MB+ with GB. Haven't heard anything about why this is, so no solution or workaround.
-Doesn't seem to be an ICS keyboard available? I think this can just be installed from the market but I haven't tried it so not sure.
I'm sure there's other things like with Swype, tethering, etc.. etc... that are not working but this is just what I've noticed within the last 8 hours of flashing and trying to set-up and configure. Any comments or helpful suggestions for a n00b like me?
Thank you for any and all feedback. Thank you to all the developers working hard on this fresh release to bring us a solid ROM!

Remember, this is a leaked firmware, these bugs are within that leak itself and a few of these issues have been addressed (unknown baseband, etc..) And will be fixed when we release the actual full ROM. this is just the base we shared in the mean time. A few are still present likesome settings not sticking through boot, and the power menu hanging.
Ithink is ur phone acting weird. Only the setcpu speeds not sticking and issue about wallpaper which can easily be fixed by using quicpics are the two issues my phone had. Just dnt use any cpu controller i noticed phone goes to sleep when no cpu controller while when there is cpu controller screen off speed sticks to 384 or 192

Absolutely. And considering what I've read about previously leaked versions of Android over the years, this one performs like a champ. Can't wait to see what comes out next, but I figured from what I've read this one works well enough to go the distance and install. Thanks again collective!

Yeah, just thought I would put my experience out there if it helps anyone or if someone could help me lol. It's very likely some of these are isolated problems, but most of them are problems with the leaked version. I uninstalled setCPU because I think you're right, something likes to nom nom the battery when the screen is off.
Oh and here's something odd which I don't know if anyone else has experienced with ICS or GB, but Terminal Emulator doesn't allow me to type anything unless I capitalize each individual letter. Which of course is useless because it can't accept commands in caps. When I press any key in lowercase it's like I haven't done anything. I had to switch to the pen mode where I scribe each letter and then it puts lowercase letters in for me. Anyone know what's up with this?
This is probably not the best Rom to run for your first flash. I would try one of the official releases in the development thread, unless you are an official tester for The Collective...
Can't wait till they release an official ROM ...

I had that issue in GB... In ICS it seems to be intermittent- sometimes it just works others it doesn't...
And regarding the baseband, not sure about the Collective rom, but DAGr8's ICS rom displays the modem correctly on my Bell Note.
I also had the timezone issue- strangely enough when I disabled network time and timezone, I also stopped get random slowdowns and ANRs.

We've got the baseband unknown issue fixed in the full ROM. We just haven't released it. Still working on a couple things before we're comfortable sharing.
Hi, here are my thoughts;
1. Flash a CWM ICS modem(fixed it for me). If you cant find a modem use Dagr8's inital version of the ICS leak, it will successfully flash the modem(unlike the initial collective version(post 501 thread). The main point is to ensure you have the correct baseband(should not say unknown).
2. For now, dont supercharge the ICS leak until you have a stable running OS.
3. After fixing the baseband unknown issue(#1), reflash the collective post 501 ICS rom. It is stable, and the cleanup of the bloat was started already.
4. After installing #3, factory reset your phone.
At this point you should have a bloated, but error free ICS on your computer. Make a CWM backup, install titanium backup, and rip out the junk APK's(widgets, samsung/att garbage). Doing this will provide longer battery life and better performance.
No other wipe scripts are needed.
Factory reset BEFORE flash. The cwm script in the zip itself formats /system and /cache before it writes anything.
And the baseband unknown thing isn't a big deal. Its not that you don't have a modem at all, everything still works you get mobile data, its just the os doesn't properly report it.
if you like what you got, i say sit tight, we're working on the full ROM. You won't be disappointed

Would be cool if you guys could make a minimalistic style rom without all the makeup and cosmetics and focused on performance
We think its cooler to do BOTH
Cause the guys at Samsung must have left their seeing eye dogs at home when it came time to theme
most of us don't usually do minimalistic... once a stable rom gets out you can expect a variety of themes. Sit tight.

Same experience here
well done guys excellent base.... Having the same experiences as helios909...
Really looking forward to the the fully packaged version. Not experiencing problems with cpu speed set on boot.
Face unlock not work properly yet. Device hangs on reboot as reported. Auto update time bug exists. Baseband version unknown. Phone crashes on initial boot. But recovers.
New voice type engine is amazing. As demonstrated here.
Here I am couple of days after flashing my phone from Shpongle 2.3 rom to BEASTsense 2.1.
First things first a huge thanks to 1ceb0x and all those keeping my antique hero living on!
A great rom 1ceb0x once again thanks - hero's now a worthy competitor for Usain Bolt lol.
Back to the topic: my question: 'Is it possible to have an android phone/ROM that won't get slower over time- ie. after a few weeks or months of use?-
Why/ how does it happen? - app caches getting too full?
Is there any clearing up etc that we can do to prevent this'. (I'm aware of less homescreens widgets and apps)
My phone-
I've pretty much never cleared up my SD card- further than, on occasions deleting a few folders etc that have been left over from previously installed apps, the standard wiping the caches before flashing a new ROM, and deleting the /data /.Trash /Android /Lost.DIR folders.
Further things I do that don't help my cause: is when using a non sense ROM have to install htc ime keyboard and a dialler that searches through contacts.
Over the years have probably flashed about 10 custom ROMs.
Thanks for reading my post any tips/ advice would be appreciated.(Sorry for the essay!)
a lot of roms slow down when you install a lot of apps so maybe try not to use up all/most of your storage. although i think every rom starts to slow down at some point. maybe after a few months of use. however i did read somewhere that if your rom does start to slow down after a few months then just boot into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik cache then the rom should 'fly' again

Thanks for the reply is really useful to know that clearing the cache and dalvik in recovery should help keep the rom fast, will definitely do this if I notice it's slowed down.
I'm quite good with my apps, try and stay on top of them uninstalling apps am not using.
latest shpongle rom should not start to slow down in time. if it does, try to do what Beats by Messi told you and it will be fine after that.
thanks for using it !
oh, and please use latest sphongle. it is much more improved than 2.3. too much speed you can't handle with
Thanks 1ceb0x I really appreciate your work- keeping hundreds(not so sure about 1000's? of hero's still going ) liked shpongle a lot, but always find myself returning to 2.1 roms, imo the hero seems to be able to handle that rom really well.

I installed shpongle 2 days ago and was really happy with it, but it’s already starting to slow down. I haven’t installed much: Go SMS Pro, MessagEase (only keyboard that works for me), aldiko and picross, OI File Manager and One Touch Time.
When I look into settings, I see only 57MB RAM are used (98MB free), and I use only 8,1MB storage (158MB free). That doesn’t seem much. I can’t figure out why Go SMS is so slow. Should I let go of it and use the stock messaging app?
Hi xda Community,
at first - BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU ACTIVE CUSTOM ROM GUYS!!
With all your FAQs, Videos and postings, you made it possible - and easy - for me, to get rid of the annoying Sony ROM by rooting and installing a custom rom.
Currently I am running CM10 FXP230 on my Xperia U. I know it is not a stable version, but still a great improvement in speed for me and also the first ROM i discovered during my internet research for an alternative to the slow stock sony stuff.
However, i am facing some problems during the daily usage of my phone, perhaps one of you can support me during finding a solution for some of them.
1. Updating ROM
Pretty basic question, just need a confirmaton that i understood it the right way. I download the new Version of the custom rom (e.g.fxp232), copy the zip onto the smartphone and reboot into recovery mode. There i use CMW to first wipe cache and delvik cache, then select and install new version from zip.
Correct way so far?
What about the Google Apps? Do i have to reinstall them too?
Do i have to backup the SD card data and my apps,?
2. The Camera Fix
At the beginning i thought that i could live with an inverted camera due to the fact, that i am not taking many of them with my phone. but during the last weeks i had to face the facts - its important from time to time :cyclops:
During my search in this forum i found a user linking to a file called "FXP231_CM10_CamReverse_Fix".
Does this work only with FXP231, or also earlier and later versions?
How do I install it, like gApps in CMW?
3. Alarm Clock
I am using my phone as an alarm clock almost every day. Its plugged in to recharge during the night. Sometimes the phone crashes during the night time and the alarm is not going off. The display turns dark, no reaction to any button i plress, only the little signal light at the top right is glowing constantly. I have to take out the battery every time and make the same changes in settings over and over again.
Is this the "deepsleep" problem everyone is talking about? Is it connected to the cpu settings - I did select "conservative" there. Whats causing the problem?
4. Dial Pad
Every time i am dialing an unknown number the touchpad is hardly responding. It can take up to 5 minutes to enter all numbers and dial. I already deactivated the T9 contact search, still no improvement. Anyone any similar expieriences?
5.General Custom ROM Question
During my journey through this Community I found out, that there are a lot of different roms available. Some - with only minor changes - based on other custom roms, some based on sony.....whatever. Right now i am totally confused that ROM to use (if the above mentioned problems cant be solved!!)
I just need a quiet fast and reliable ROM to use in daily life - well this is everyones wish i guess......
So what am I doing with my phone? Basically I am just using my phone to call people, use whatsapp, check mails, manage my appointments and take a spontaneus picture from time to time. No Video, Twitter, Facebook, Games and what else is out there...........and no big experiments and time to backup, upgrade and reset my phone stuff every week.
Should I go back to CM9?
Cant I install a "normal google android" rom? Might sound stupid, but isnt there some kind of "pure" rom for all phones, that gives you the same comfort as the sony stock rom (-> update and functionality) ?
Even if there is not THE correct answert to this question, maybe some of you can at least suggest some interesting ROMs, that might fit
uff.....long wall of text, hopefully I could point out my problems good enough to motivate you to spent your time to answer them.

First of all, this is a long question and you must donate me for answering. Haha. Just joking but you need to consider yourself and get experiences.
1. Reboot CWM and install the ROm amd Gapps needs to be reinstalled.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot. You're updated.
2. It is for FXP231 and so you must install 231 in order to have fixed
3. Go to deepsleep so much in CM10. Some said pretty awesome because it saves battery but it is in deep sleep so you can't really control your phone no more. Like you can't awake in the morning because you are in deep sleep.so hard to wake up. And yes your problem is deep sleep.
4. Use Go Dialer or Touchpal Dialer. Download from Play Store. It will make you better. Stock is still laggy and under development.
5. I run SlimCM which is CM9 and everything works except sound bug and FM Radio. Sound bug can be fix with Viper4Android. Run CM9 which is great, fast and stable.
And I really want to advice you is find out more yourself. It's more getting trouble but you will become more awesome I answer your question short so don't mind me about that but if you need anything, just quote and ask. Bye.

Sorry for asking again, but most times i just dont have the needed phrase to search for - combines with 50+ pages of results it really drives me crazy sometimes. After making a, lets say really stupid mistake, installing the rom in the beginning, it took me almost ages to find the threat to return to the beginning and reinstall it properly.

Thanks a lot for reading and answering my questions anyway, you got yourself a honest "thanks button klick" as a reward :laugh:
Okay, so now i know that "my deepsleep problem" is kind of a reversed version of almost everyone eleses deepsleep problem. Everyone wants his phone to enter deepsleep, i want to prevent that.
Will this app solve the problem? Deep Sleep Battery Saver
I mean, if I can set the phone to "wake up" short before my alarm time it might work, right?
I read something about Apps causing the problem, especially messenger apps. Can anyone verify that information, or is it some random guess?
Edit:
Also I found out, that the Phone should not enter deepsleep while being charged. Unfortunately this seems to happen to mine over and over again.

DS battery saver is the one for some phones that cannot go into deepsleep. It force the phone to Deep Sleep with some profiles to make your phone not deaf. Good app and I'm using it.
Blah blah blah, anyway, it's the ROM problem I think but you can simply reply FXP's CM10 about the fix No worries. I think you can fix nothing at this stage. And also I thought Alarm app crashing amd screen not waking up is not only the Deep Sleep issues but also the rom bug of excessive Deep Sleep or alarm app not fully functional. Please reply to the rom thread and wait for answer! High Five!!

Hi all,
I thought that maybe others would benefit from my hours trying to find the reasons for my Rezound lagging. I am sure that many here know much more than I.
So this group of issues each helped improve my speed to now it feels like a fresh install again. I am running stock flyhalf kernel
1) Use LagFix to fstrim my partitions. I do a great deal with news apps and added/removing apps. Things got so slow in general especially when updates occurred in Play store. New installs now work great. Trimming made a big difference. Not all kernels support this. Be careful to have a backup before trimming--some have had bad results 1-2% of the time. 4.3 supposedly has trim built in. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104326
2) Delete and clear accounts settings, contacts/calendar storage and cache. It seems that because I restored from nandroid or for some reason after being on the rom for a long time. Things got slow and some of my contacts would not sync. Also it seems that Exchange services even though not showing much usage in betterbatterystats was slowing down my Rezound. I think a sync was not occurring. So I did everything in this thread and again a big difference occurred and the entire device was more responsive. I cannot emphasize what a difference this made. The device would seem to lock up sometimes and then unfreeze. After this step, thinks were so much more fluid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310348
3) Apex 2.0.6 was having awful redraws lately. Seems it is this software release. So switched over to Nova for at least awhile. Now things are snappy again. I see that Apex 2.0.10 is out now so perhaps that fixed it.
I am using the original flyhalf kernel in 2.9.1 and have my clock at 96/1512.
A person may consider using Rom Toolbox or another tool like V6 Supercharger to modify OOM settings to a more aggressive stance as well. I tried this but then reverted back after 1-3.
Also it seems that some in the past have reduced redraws by using these settings in build.prop. I did not try this method either but was about to....
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
ro.HOME_APP_MEM=40960
I hope this helps get rid of pesky lag for some. 1,2,and 3 each really helped my situation.
Hi, I've been using cm 11 with ART instead of dalvik for a while, however my phone recently have become extremely slow. It takes about 10 seconds to open simple apps as Facebook, after pressing home button it takes ages to load my homescreen. I don't have much apps and only one game, so it shouldn't be a problem. Now I'm thinking about switching to pureCM rom which is said to be ultra fast. The question is: is it really good? or maybe I just need to wipe my Rom and start over? Maybe u know some other good roms which uses less memory?

You always need to do full wipe before flashing a new rom.I will suggest you to flash another rom to see if it your phone or the ROM.

Try another Rom

Hi, I've been using cm 11 with ART instead of dalvik for a while, however my phone recently have become extremely slow. It takes about 10 seconds to open simple apps as Facebook, after pressing home button it takes ages to load my homescreen. I don't have much apps and only one game, so it shouldn't be a problem. Now I'm thinking about switching to pureCM rom which is said to be ultra fast. The question is: is it really good? or maybe I just need to wipe my Rom and start over? Maybe u know some other good roms which uses less memory?

CM11 based roms dont eat up alot of RAM, I personally too, think that any rom if used for a longer time, tends to get a lil slow. That being said its not the rom- its the maintenance. CM based roms are better than pure CM roms (personal opinion). They offer more stuff- try carbon, Slim bean, Liquid smooth, RessurectionRemix, SOKP or any other similar roms, if you prefer to switch to touchwiz try, S5 Sensation rom.
And limit your apps, and check for apps that run in background , that aren't that necessary(Use greenify to hibernate apps). ANd if you're switching roms, be sure to do a full Wipe .
ALTERNATE: try other kernels and you can overclock the performance , but it might drain battery. Be sure of what you're tweaking. If you don't know what it is, Be careful.
P.S : check if you have 'double tap Home button' in your settings ON. if yes disable it.
