Has anyone had any issues with extreme lag when using Words with Friends?
I've tried a couple different ICS roms, and they have all displayed slowness (or FC) after playing a word, or choosing a wildcard letter. Its a relatively minor gripe (and really my only gripe of my current rom) but it is a nuisance. I saw a related post in the ROM's developer thread, but I didn't see any responses there.
Thanks
I'm not on ICS but when there was an update for WWF I saw that people were complaining about it but I don't remember why, so if you are using the latest version maybe you can try installing the older one.
I am using ICS and have absolutely no issues at all with Words With Friends. Seems to work perfectly fine here.
I would try clearing its data and cache and see if that fixes it.
i just use hanging friends.. no lag there either, but with the first ics leaks it was very laggy
I had the game briefly, with no issues, I only got rid of it because it's a battery killer.

I have had the exact same issue right down to the issues with the blank tile. I will try clearing data and cache, and see if that does it.
yeah, clearing data and cache didnt fix it, unfortunately.
also cleared cache and data, no luck
Turn off fastboot and be patient with the app. I can sit for horus playing the game without issue. Even restored app data from gingerbread for it.
Same issue
Yeah I'm having issues with major lag between screens on the free version of Words With Friends. If anyone finds a solution please post.
I think the issue has to do with the ad block in ics rims.nilsp has a zip to remove ad block but I can't get it to work.the people who have no lag do you use the free or paid version? I'll spend the 2.99 if it fixes the lag,but don't want to be the guinea pig if it doesn't

Free version using BAMF 1.1, .22 leak, 3g or 4g doesn't matter.
Yep, have had the same issues on every ICS ROM. Fastboot has nothing at all to do with it, so I'm not sure where that came from. Been jacking with things trying to figure it out, but to no avail. Have an Email out to the Zynga. Hopefully we hear something.
Wait, there's an ad free version for $2.99? Yeah, I'll have one of those please.
That will at least fix the ad lags.

You have to buy tokens to kill the ads. Well worth it. Seems much smoother now, as it doesn't have to load the new page and go back to the game.
Same problem with the blank tile thoughl

I've been having a similar issue with "Where's My Water". Plays fine, but loading levels is EXTREMELY slow.
No ads, so I get the feeling it's a different issue.
I'm having the same issues with WWF on ICS. I'm running Calk's E4GT 2 1.4 and it's almost too irritating to play. Let's hope there's a fix soon.
Simply good. I didn't expect to be this stable. Everything works. I made a Day in the life without an issue. I even took 3d pix and video. Battery life is similar or slightly better than Gingerbread. Just wanted to share my experience for those who hasn't tried. I did not flashed the new firmware (CDMA). Just same ole method of Wipe / Flash. Cheers

Thanks for the info. If you do start having problems please post back here. I did the hboot downgrade but revolutionary won't five me s-off so I'm forced back to hboot 1.5 and stuck with s-on and can't flash the firmware.

My battery life seems tons better than it was before. But who knows, maybe I had some crappy rom that said it was using a single core but it was really wasting battery by enabling the second one at all times.
All I know is I was reading on my phone for about an hour this morning and it was still at 92%.
Other than that, I'm pretty surprised with how well it's running. Sense 3.6 is ok, a little jarring to see some of the sense colors go out of the way for real ICS stuff (like when you're attaching a google account).
One thing I don't like is how they ruined the default app behavior. Before if you clicked a link from a twitter app, it asked what application to use. That's ok, you can change that particular thing from the default apps settings (and ICS Browser + destroys the default Sense browser), but if I'm in an email and I click a twitter name, it just goes straight to the browser. Previously it popped up a menu for a browser or twitter apps, and I'd rather have it go right to the app.
I'm a little disappointed that the Car Panel isn't there (Well, it is kinda. When I plug it into my car dock, the icon shows up in the bar, but there's no Car Panel App or anything). Other than that, the desktop dock mode is nice with the added music player feature. Everything runs smooth, and I definitely like the swipe feature in the drop down menu and task killer.
Adding the performance tweak has made this thing fly..sacrifice just a little battery but its worth it.

Like I said, that works fine for which browser to open thankfully, because the stock browser is as bad as it's ever been, but there's nothing in there for anything else I want to deal with, like twitter links from gmail. They don't let you add anything
Peep is missing, it kinda kills Friend Stream's usefulness & Twitter contact syncing.

I ****ing love this ICS leak! Like the OP said, everything works! From 3d to in car Bluetooth to HDMI out, its all flawless. I love the tweaks HTC made to sense, I don't even mind that its not sense 4.0. I'm using apex launcher to replicate that stock ics look and best of all, I can use chrome!

Hi,
I tried this ROM this afternoon,
My phone: HTC EVO 3D x515m
Camera: 5M*2
hboot: HTC *** UNLOCKED METHOD ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.49.0018
Oct 3 2011 15:03:01
First, I extracted the boot.img from the archive and I flashed with the option of EXT Recovery.
I rebooted in recovery (4EXT v1.0.0.5 RC3 Build 102)
I Wiped data, system, CACHE, Dalvik-Cache
Then I flashed the ROM and then reboots Virtuous_Shooter_v.3.0.0.zip
I tested:
Bluetooth OK (associated with a headset MOTOROLA)
Phone OK (not stop during a call)
Wifi OK
2D and 3D camera OK
Spiderman 3D OK!
I realized that the ROM was not rooted. So I flashed in Recovery mode, Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. ROOT is ok now.
When configuring the phone, I took the backup on Google. All my applications were then restored.
I restored the data from each application with Titanium Backup.
I think we would finally an ICS ROM from which The developer will be able to build their new ROM.
It's really good. thank you to Virtuous Dev Team: Diamondback, Flemmard, seo, rmk, chrisch1974, eViL_Dee, mdj, cypis, cjward, tbalden
Thank to Mdeejay!!!
Sincerely,
oh yea, best part about the perfect leak, no sprint bloat!

My battery life has been worse than when I was on mean or zr3d. I am down half battery and it is only noon.
I don't like the new gmail app. The old one was dark this one is white and for me hard to see what is new and what is old.
In time it will be better. I dis not flash the firmware. Just the ROM.

The Gmail app isn't new in the update(just the icon), and it's always been white since the beginning of time... A lot of ROM developers and themers have made different color variants, though, with the most popular being the 'Inverted Gmail' which is probably what you got used to using.
My experience with the ICS leak was good and bad. I like all the changes to UI, but some of the stuff was buggy at times. First, it took a few reboots/battery pulls after flashing to even boot into the ROM for the first time. I have Sprint VM saved on SD, and after installing it, it didn't work. Cache cleaner app was non-responsive. I'd go to clean the cache and it would sit there for several minutes 'cleaning' until I just gave up. I restarted the phone once and when I went back to open my text messages, all I saw were phone numbers(instead of contact names) for a few minutes until I turned on Wifi and everything sync'd again.... just a few things I can remember right off-hand. I'll probably just wait until we at least have a 'Sprint Leak' to go back again. I'm sure the OTA isn't too far away anyway..

Actually gmail does update for ICS and only for ICS. It is completely different from the gingerbread version it takes some time to get use too but the end result is I kind of like it.
I love the release but I just wish the app drawer was side to side instead of top and down.
I'm not in the mood to buy a new phone that is worse off than my current one. Since none of the reviews mentioned it for the One X, I don't expect them to bother looking at it for the EVOLTE. Any news on this?
Same concern here.
Also seems as if the SGS3 is following suit with the same aggressive multitasking system.
dont buy it then lol
im still getting it. people love to ***** about the smallest things.
Perhaps a reviewer who has it can tell us

It's an issue to people who aren't on XDA & feel it's an issue.
Not worried about it. Root, Custom Kernels & a Custom ROM will be dictating how aggressive the TK runs.
I think most people don't realize that it's probably more of an ICS issue than an OEM one. When the Galaxy Nexus first came out people were complaining about the same thing, but you don't hear much about it anymore with the update to 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
My Evo 3D with the ICS leak (4.0.3) doesn't do this so I'm not to worried about the Evo LTE doing it either.
I have a loaner Evo lte and it doesn't seem to have this issue. I started playing a video on youtube, then jumped to the browser. I surfed the internet for over a minute, and switched back to youtube. The video was on pause. Once I hit play it restarted where I left off. Then after watching the video for more than a minute, I switched back to the browser. The webpage did not reload and displayed what I was previously viewing. Seems all good to me.

I really liked it. My current phone is the Evo 4G, so I'm a little out of date. The screen is amazing, as expected. The phone is quite a bit bigger which surprised me. Not too big by any means, but definitly bigger than I expected. It's nice and thin and feels more sleek. One thing my wife mentioned was that the machined aluminum edge felt 'sharp', like maybe it needed to be deburred or rounded. It wasn't a compliant, just something she noticed. I had no issue and thought it felt great.
The camera was very nice. It takes pictures very fast. One slight dissapointment was the time it took to turn on the camera when pushing the manual camera button on the side. I expected instant readiness, but it took maybe a second or so. The onscreen camera button launches the camera faster.
I actually like the multitask button. It instantly popped up the app screens and rolled back the previous app. Kinda nice that it doesn't start on the current app and require you to scroll back. My current Evo now seems slow having to hold the 'home' button. I kinds miss the menu button. The menu in differnet apps can be on the bottom, top, or not have one. I found myself hunting for it sometimes.
That's all I can think of now. I had to give it back Sunday night. Overall the phone is great, and I can't wait to get my pre-order from sprint!

For real. Why are people complaining so much? How long have we had ICS now? If you don't know your menus and settings by now, don't even bother complaining here.
General users, yeah, more understandable, but not us. But still, if something isn't working right, check your Settings and see if you can change something. Is it really that hard?

If the two of you were staying on top of this story, you would know that checking this doesn't help. Even with that option checked, HTC has changed the settings within the kernel to kill open tasks at a much more aggressive rate than ICS normally would, in order to allow sense to be smoother. They just pushed an update to the international version that helped, but the issue is still there. Personally I don't think it's a big deal, but it is something that can't be changed through checking that item off.
The more you know...

I've only had my EVO LTE for a few hours, but I'm already noticing that apps are reloading a lot more than they did on my EVO 4G. Specifically with the stock browser and titanium backup (woot for root!). It's not a deal breaker, but it is annoying.
Phone activation restarted for me. I'm guessing that's the aggresive task killer at work. D:

Seriously, im disappointed. I loved my phone before the update, but now..after getting the update, I hate it. I want it OFF my phone. It totally fd up this phone. Pinch zoom is incredibly SLOW and CHOPPY. It freezes and lags like a SOB. And facebook...forget it. I visited the full site constantly because the mobile site caused too many problems. It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Im sorry if I came off the wrong way, in a way certain parts are quite speedy...but others, like Facebook took a huge hit. I tried a few of my emulators. They seem to work. Nesoid even works despite what I have heard from others. But it seems to lag on frames. Like, the video frames will appear faster but it will skip many thus the motion is choppy instead of fluid. N64oid works faster. I guess thats a plus. I only tried Goldeneye. Typing seems more accurate, but this sollg and screen jumping business is making it very difficult to type..with what was once cake. It wont stay centered on your text. The text boxes in facebook nuke the cpu as soon as you click inside them. It wasnt bad at all before this. I have not tried maps, but since you asked, I might as well.

Unlike on locked down Motorola phones, it is perfectly possible to revert to gingerbread.
1. Unlock Bootloader with HTCDev
2. S-OFF with juopunutbear
3. Run Gingerbread RUU
4. You can stay S-OFF and Unlocked, or if you want to, S-ON and relock.

Right? I was on gb until like a month or two ago and I still prefer gb firmware over ica firmware. I have yet to try the latest radios but I still love the gb radios
I found Opera Mobile to work better. But damn...and yea, its either revert back or custom ROM. I still have not ever flashed before. Guess its one of those things I worry about because if reading a few horror stories of someones phone being bricked after flashing or phone radio not working.
I have seen people in here praising ICS left and right like it was the best update ever. I dont come in here often enough so maybe I missed the posts saying ICS is slow. I wonder if it is Sense 3.6 causing the slowdown?
Most things are the same probably butvsome stuff is def faster and hardware acceleration/gpu rendering makes everything completely smooth and not choppy like GB. Things will get better with some gud kernels when they release source

Hey all,
Having a little trouble here with maps/navigation. Almost everytime i open the app and start a navigation somewhere i get the message "maps has stopped." The weird thing is that the voice will still talk to you and i can still see the navigation notification in the drop down menu.
once i click on the navigation app, however, it disappears and i must reopen it. Maps works just fine alone, but when i tell it to navigate sometimes the graphics will get glitchy and and will give me the error mentioned above. It seems like all of this started after I flashed the JellyBam 3.1 ROM with the komodo kernel...and just for the record i never got the komodo to work (almost everything force closed with it installed).
Now even after flashing various other AOKP and going back to sense ROMs, my navigation/maps app still closes on me and gets glitchy. ive already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
It is an EVO 4G LTE hardware version 0003, S-OFF
Any help would be greatly appreciated
It's a known issue with Jelly Bean, not any particular ROM. Navigation apparently eats up huge gobs of memory until it eventually kills itself. I suggest an alternate navigation app. I'm using Waze and I like it.

As stated, its unfortunately a known issue....seems to be nav eating up memory and crashing itself...I dealt with it for a while just like yourself and finally resolved it by going into a sprint store and they acknowledged an issue and my refurb replacement doesn't have the issue...my personal opinion is that it has to do with what batch of phone you have (mine was a release day phone)...no fix in sight...only options are try getting replacement phones til you get a more recent build phone (no way to tell besides activation date in ##786# menu) or try telenav or waze as many have done...good luck and hope that helps and let us know what you decide to do...

Oh okay so its a JellyBean issue. That makes more sense now that i think about the timing of everything. I was running ICS roms before flashing jellyBAM. Thats a relief because i was think i may have messed something up permanently by flashing that komodo kernel.
I think ill either run an ICS rom or just use a different nav program. Dont really feel like going through the process of unrooting only to deal with whatever shenanigans sprint has waiting for me if i were to request a refurb
EDIT: btw good call on the waze...this app is awesome!

Yea it sux if you're trying to run a jb based Rom (ics roms were I did too for a while) but somewhere along the way the phones have a tiny manufacturing difference newer/older build wise (at least I believe so) and can't handle the jellybean update reliably...using another nav app obviously defeats running a clean uncluttered phone but it'll have to do til someone/htc/google fix whatever is causing the nav issue...IF they ever do.

If it is a batch issue, it isn't as simple as old vs. new. I have a release day phone and haven't had any issues with Google nav and Jelly Bean.
I have a release day phone and currently had it crash 4+ times on a drive home last night, running jb as well, very weird
This happened to me, so I uninstalled maps, reinstalled from market, and the glitch has not reappeared.

Well there goes my theory somewhat...darn it...hmmm...can't pinpoint any other reason for it besides maybe bad batch of certain memory module or part inside phone.

That's interesting also...I think you and maybe a handful of other users have had luck doing that and having success. Looks like it'll probably be an issue that won't be fixed except by getting funtional replacement phone IF the store goes through with it for whoever does have the issue.

Well sounds like there isnt anymore talk of getting a fix for this. Looks like I am going to have to pay the $50 for a refurbished phone... This is a hardware/software issue I think Sprint/HTC should be replacing the phone at no cost even without TEP. /endrant

Ill be surprised to hear that they charge you for it...they shouldn't...just tell em the truth, the update screwed navigtion up along with other issues, and you want to get a phone with the older software on it to have a functional phone....when you get it, just unlock and don't update your hboot and read up on how to get jb on it with older hboot (like I have my phone now) to see if nav works.. if it doesn't then you'll still have the option of going back to older ruu before jb...

I'm surprised this is related to memory. In my experience, and I've had the app freeze/crash since Feb. update, the issue is just related to navigation when in 3D mode. If you tap the compass in top left to lock north to up (put nav in top-down mode), it does not crash. Seems to be directly related to 3D rendering.
I hate using the map in that mode, but none of the other map programs give as good a quick overview of local traffic as google nav. Waze is close, but the UI is more cluttered.
Anyway, if you still want to use google nav on JB, just tap the compass before it crashes, and it will keep that setting for future navigation.
I just think it is unbelievable that Navigation has been broken for so long and Google is doing nothing to fix it. Since the JB update, Maps has been updated at least twice, as recent as this week, and it is still broken. The issue is quite widespread. By looking at the Maps reviews on Google Play, if you filter by phone, almost every review by EVO LTE users says the same.
