I've been using the mini running 2.1 for about 2 weeks now. At the start I noticed considerable lag while sync or while heavy multi tasking. This simple way made my phone give a quadrant score of 570 without JIT.
* Install titanium backup
* Freeze every unused applications
* restart
Your so called lag will definitely vanish.
Removing apps is kinda bad to the file system because some apps will depend on the other for a service. Freezing just makes the app unresponsive and takes it out of memory completely.
Have fun. Post the result. Those who have already removed apps , ignore !

Thanks. Works really well. Only problem is still my lag in my msg app. Do you know which system processes we can freeze?

I read you have +7000 messages... i dont think you can reduce lag with that... you will need to delete
How can you freeze your unused AppS? I can not do that.
Whew almost repaired again, me and my stupid impulses..
Just to clarify, the apps that I would most likely freeze would be the same as those listed as safe to remove on the other threads?
I haven't really removed applications from my ROM, as my TB doesn't show me an option to restore an app once its been removed [though it has a backup]
Hence my 4th, most recent, repair >_<
warning i did this earlier and froze something that stopped the market from working, i unfroze everything and now i still get force close when i open the market
Specifically which apps did you freeze?
Can't remember but i know i did some google ones, i didnt think freezing them could mess up my phone
did you reboot the phone after unfreezing.
Yes many times, I have removed a few apps before I tried this maybe freezing them caused some kind of error?

lags much less lol but still hangs up now and then
fixed mine now, had to reinstall the firmware
Could anyone pelase post the AppS to freeze in orden to get such an important performance improvement? I have tried a lot, even with jit and can not get higher than 570

I also get random system restarts on mine. I don't know what's the cause because it's intermittent.
I can not launch market, neither sync my Google acount. I have unfrozen everyapp, but no solution. Please help!!!!
i had the same problem! google apps stop working after being frozen and still dont work after being defrosted the only way i found to fix it was reinstall the firmware
I keep getting the "Process.android is not responding" a lot and "System" is not responding too. And the phone sometimes reboots/turns off by itself. I'm running J.A.F.'s CM7.2 with the fix applied, allinone, ICS theme with animations. Governor set to SMARTASS and min cpu up to 245MHz with max at 800.
Does anyone have any idea about this? I'm starting to get these frequently.
Besides those error reports, reboots/turn offs, everything works flawlessly. I really don't know what the issue could be :/
I suggest trying a full wipe - dalvik/data/factory and reflashing without the theme. I had no problems without the theme. Don't forget gapps.

What are gapps for? I never used them or flashed them. But will do the full wipe if it happens again, already backed up all my apps.

Yeah man, I know what you mean. But Quick Pic messes up when I scroll from picture to picture. When I slide to the next image, it lags the previous one behind it and shows the next one but with the previous one chopped up behind it.
Let me take a screenshot....
EDIT: Reinstalled and there's no lag. The difference is that I took off the ICS theme. I'm not sure if the theme was the one that caused it but its not happening anymore. If it happens again, I'll post a screenshot.

I would still flash them. Those you don't use can be frozen. Some of these apps need each other to function. For instance I have been told by many people that the Market need GTalk to work. Save yourself unnecessary trouble and play it safe.

Thanks. Will flash after completely wiping phone.
EDIT: Weird, I wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik cache, Factory reset) then reflashed the rom and my phone was stuck on that ANDROID word before the bootanimation. Was I supposed to go back to CM7.1 and reflash 7.2?
I forgot to mention, I moved all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card with S2E. Think that would have performance issues?
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???

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.

Forgot to mention, wasn't able to download apps from the market while connecting through wifi.
Browsing was fine but had to connect through 3G to get the app to start downloading.

A rather strange thing happened today: when the alarm came on, the screen was totally black, and i could not set the alarm off. The phone was charging, so i unplugged it, and after a while the screen came back on.

I guess it took a while for the Alarm program to load.
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.

I had no idea this was possible do i have to unzip>edit>rezip or can i just replace the files with a zip explorer?
finally i can have rootexplorer as my system file manager
I´m getting a lot of screen-related bugs...
I´m gonna do a wipe, re-install, and see if it gets better.
Is the any way to backup all my data and apps, so i don´t have to download it all again?
Thanks

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

Thanks mate, gonna try it!!

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!!
Anyone else having crash issues (stops responding) with the calendar?
Particularly the day view? It seems that it hangs half the time I'm trying to use it, particularly if I try to sweep it before doing anything else.
This with 2.0 and hotfix2 applied, using Finnish language.

Yes, same thing here. If I try to change days, the applications freezes.
I am experiencing a lot of crashes and freezes. I did a full wipe before the install, but i´m still having problems. Anyone else?

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.

Hey Guys,
If you are having the re-draw issue, try this. I can confirm that it fixed my re-draw issue.
Settings>Developer options>Uncheck "Don't keep activities"
After you do this, you should get the re-draw one more time, afterwards, there should be no more re-draws. I was also able to re-create the re-draw issue when I checked the "Don't keep activities" option.
Hope this helps!
Btw, I'm using the Nordic Combined version of ICS right now.

Isn't that the default option (if you flash a ROM fresh, that option is unchecked by default). So how does it help
Try opening loads of windows in the browser and looking for a good 10-15 mins and see if it's still fixed?

Thanks Mate worked for me too. Initially i also flashed directly on .75 but was feeling lags. Today i reflashed after clearing Internal memory and restoring too default. But today I was very unhappy with the lags that too when i have only the stock softwares. The Leg was killing me when i perform basic functions such as going to dialer and it shows redraw while coming back to home screen the icons on home screen will take second or two to come back and was thinking of going back to GB but your post helped me.
I really don't think sony has worked very well on the update or may be they haven't provided proper installation information to customers.
Please note when i initially flashed wihtout restoring to default and clearing internal memory even for me these options are unchecked. Also today i flashed with SUS not PCC.

To tell you the truth, after flashing and before I did anything else (install apps, etc.), I would go into settings and set everything back to how I had them on GB which included checking that option. So this time around, I installed all apps before settings which led me to discover that that option was what was causing my redraw issue.

I can not confirm whether it does or does not. However, I've taken a browse at some of the folders and files that are left behind from various uninstalled apps and such, I would propose that it is probably a good idea to clear your internal storage and perform a factory reset before your flash. Now, once again, I can not confirm whether this actually does anything, but it's just what I did.
mhm okay.. could you try to open some heavy apps like browser or games and then right after open the dialer or contacts and tell me how fast it is?

I tried it. The initial launch was a slower than normal however, after that, it was fast like normal.
okay.. just cleared everything.. its way faster now imo.. thanks mate! =)
It should be unchecked by default in all pure stock ROMs. If it was enabled on your phone it means you manually enabled it before, or the custom ROM you installed had it enabled.
Yes, it was unchecked. But as a habit (probably because, like everyone in here, I'm obsess with making sure that I have the most amount of memory free), after flashing, I would go and check it; not knowing that it was causing an issue with this version of ICS. Now, I certainly suspect that this alone did not "fix" the issue, I'm thinking that it was a combination of clearing the internal storage, resetting the phone, and not checking "kill application" that fixed this issue.
about a month ago this happend to me:
out of the blue everything on my phone started FC repeatedly (whatsapp, camera, Luancher Pro, phone, etc..) so pulled out the battery and it then it didnt want to boot up so i tried a fresh install from recovery but.. recovery was crashing as well and i had to pull out the battery every time. finally afer playing a speed game with the phone i got to re install (i wiped user chache/data /dalvik ) and the problem was gone ...
these recent days some apps started FC on me but i thought i was somewhat common .. mainly Mi file explorer .. so right now my phone started to do the same thing again.. FC everything! The main one crashing is = the process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. i have no signal now and cant open anything.. if i pull out battery I know it wont boot up and may not let me use recovery without a hassle!
i dont know if this has to do with but when i install a rom ( i had topsmarts 1.3) i use root uninstaller to uninstall lots things i dont want like: weather and news, terminal emulater, dev tools, es explorer..
what is can be causing this problem and what can i do to fix it??? it looks like i wont be using it today because its as good as a brick right now.
edit before OP: i selected reboot and as expected its looping at the Unlocked screen:crying:

It's not a living thing or a machine with mechanics that suddenly doesn't work because of a misconception. If it was a misconception it would not work at all. If you solved it by reflashing, then it's a software issue and it won't happen again if your CWM image is not broken. But just to make sure I would reflash CWM to make sure it doesn't cause any trouble.
and be careful with removing system apps
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I believe it was you removing system apps which caused your problems. You should always freeze system apps instead of uninstalling/removing them. That way if your phone starts to act up you can thaw/unfreeze them until you figure out which one is causing the issue.

Exactly. Removing system apps can result in accidental removal of base code and intrinsic system processes that are required for your ROM to function properly. These apps can probably be disabled and hidden instead of removing them altogether.

A logcat would help tremendously here. Would show exactly why things are FCing.
sorry i dont know how to do a logcat .. but the things i remove are:
es file explorer
news and weather
gtalk

theme chooser

You really have to freeze apps one by one if you are unsure of what you are doing. On stock Blur build for example, Yahoo Authenticator can cause FC issues with your contacts if you freeze or delete it. You wouldn't think this would affect your contacts, but it does.
