Slow launcher/ROM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm a new developer and I've got an MIUI v4 port for my phone but it's in very early stages. The launcher is laggy along with nearly every other aspect of the phone. I'm wondering if any of you experienced devs would be able to tell me some tips on how to make the overall ROM work faster and smoother.
Thanks.

{RANT} Y NO Smooth UI !!!!

Okay, I'm 15 i started getting into android about 5 mounths ago with my good'ol "Samsung galaxy ace" after using it for about 3 mounths i decided that i needed a higher res screen and a proc capable of playing most main stream games (GTA. Nova 2. Minecraft etc). So i bought my beloved neo for theses reasons:
1. 1GHz Proc
2. 265 DPI (854x480)
3. 512mb RAM
After about 2 mounths usage i can't seem to understand how all UI interactions are faster and smoother on my Galaxy Ace?
No matter what ROM (ICS or GB) with whatever kernel I can't get my neo to live up to the smoothness of STOCK Galaxy ace rom, let alone a tweaked rom.
It makes no sense to me how a phone with a faster and better proc and more ram can't achive the same smooth UI
If anyone can explain to me what i can do to improve UI smoothness or how UI scrolling smoothness works in roms etc THEN I BEG YOU TELL ME!
(IF ANYONE SAYS "Buy an Iphone" I WILL REMOVE THERE SCROTUM WITH A BLUNT SPOON)
Roms i've tried:
ALL ics rom (apart from miui) (ICS roms are WAY too laggy for usage)
Most gingerbread roms apart from:
SE tweaked (couldent get it working)
any MIUI (Y WOULD I WANT MY PHONE TO LOOK LIKE AN IPHONE APPLE ARE ****)
I have treid super charge on lots of roms, dont really see or feel difference to scrolling.
Currently im using Stock .62 as it is by fair the smoothest rom for neo.
Thanks for anyone who can point me in right direction or explain y UI isnt smooth.
Sorry for ranting, Josh. (moonytoonyking)
root and launchers
I dont know if this would help you but, have you tried installing replacement launchers? such as Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher EX? they have both smooth UI scrolling interface. Also smooth app drawer UIs. In fairness to Xperia Neo, It has smooth scrolling. Are you sure you are not running too much apps in the background which makes your device slower? Are you rooted? If you are rooted, then I bet you get control of your device, Disabling (unnecessary) background apps, taking control of your CPU/RAM. You could also install Chainfire 3d which would help you a lot in playing games (in terms of hardware enhancements)
Give us details about your mobile, and I mean details so we could help you out mate.
If you're looking for absolute smoothness go for cm7.2, but use other launcher than adw, it lags, at least for me.
Have you tried cm9? it is the fastest rom ive ever tried, i tweaked it for faster and battery friendly.
And its awesome mate.

Have you ever considered about the fact that comparing to Neo,galaxy ace got a lower resolution.Anyway try removing bloatware and use a custom launcher like apex.

lol
There are loads of way to make your phone faster and smoother this is how I do it
1: Over Clock to the highest possible even tho it says recommended not to lol just wack it up lol
2: Memory Booster - I like this app just because ever 10 mins I set it up to boot to get ram back up
3: Launcher on ICS at the min so I been using Apex or Nova launcher on gingerbread I would use ADW or Stock
4: SD Maid - Clears all the junk that your phone make for you from internet and other apps
IPHONE IS THE BAIN OF ALL LIFE ..MY WIFE WANTS ONE I AM GONNA GET HER ONE JUST FOR THE FACT SHE CAN GIVE ME HER NEO AS ITS BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED UNLIKE MINE LOL

it's rather strange for you to tell me Neo's Scolling is laggy...
to me...it is more smooth than SII and iPhone 4... without root and mod.
U may try 3rd launcher like SPB Shell, AdW EX, Go EX and Launcher Pro.
Also, u may want to enable GPU rendering (HW acc.) of launcher
Hope these help...
I suggest you to use this ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570499 combined with Apex Launcher and NightElf kernel v1.0 RC2 lite...The only problem is that many games aren't optimized for ICS,but the UI it's way smoother than Galaxy S2 or even Galaxy Nexus,plus that the battery life is amazing (use setCpu to underclock the processor when screen is off,i'm using it @245-460 mhz w screen off,and 245-1024 mhz in normal use,and battery life is deffinitely improved (in stand-by it drained 1% in 5 hours).
Thanks for all the replies
I've tried a load of launchers my fav for GB being ADW and for ICS being Apex.
they work well and usaly improve smoothness. BTW i agree that neo is smoother than Gs2 (on stock) but not Galaxy Nexus, that is super smooth.
I have root.
Overclock helps to an extent but if rom is unsmooth it dosent do much.
Havent tried that I-scream ROM as i have found that all SEMC based ICS roms LAG really badly, however since you recomend it i will try. I have been reading up on things like swap and zram but im not sure if they will improve my speed much?
Again thanks for all the help I LOVE XDA'ers

Cm7.2 is kinda smooth at first but after i install my apps (i only have like 20) smoothness isnt good.
OH an yes the default adw with cm7.2 LAGS LIKE A MOTHER *****

If you still experience some lag, try turning off scrolling cache, force disable, on cm options.
I have about 30 apps i install and don't experience any lag.
Sort of glad to see i'm not the only one having issues with adw.

Not bad but stock .62 is smoother by alot still, shame i love ICS. I actualy found the AOSP rom to be the smoothest ICS rom but it has many bugs

You've used Apex Launcher? Because i know that stock launcher is very laggy.I'm currently using this rom with apex launcher and on-screen buttons,and i'm never going back to gingerbread.

Apex improved it alot, but still not smooth, cm9 amazes me its sooooos smooth but buggy and sturf dosent work.
the smoothness of the rom is always tied to the framework files sony didn't optimize it well in their ICS release....

i can't do it myself but back in the days when i had an x8 ginger bread was laggy on it and a guy called doixanh or something fixed it by optimizing the framework and it became very smooth silky smooth
FINALY: CM 7.2 (fxp17) with disabled scrolling cache Is SUPER SMOOTH im very happy, hopefuly cm9 will be this smooth when its done.

[Q] I9300 Jellybean "LAG" when opening DIALLER @ CONTACTS

Hi all !
I have been using many different custom jellybean rome over the last month or so and have realised that they all have a noticable lag when you try to open the dialler or contacts from the home page especially for the 1st time or after you open the task manager and kill all running apps.
Does anyone have a explanation or fix for this as its really frustrating me and looks bad when someone wants you to add there number into your phone and see how slow it is to do so ....
Some of the roms i have used are : Criskelo, Dragon, Omega, Turkbey, Wanam lite to name a few.
Look forward to your feedback !

Thanks for your reply but what are these AOSP or AOKP roms & what does the abbreviation stand ?
Android open source project & android open kang project.
AOSP is the 'rom' originally released by google.
AOKP is a rom based on AOSP but with some additions.
Many thanks to both your replies !
So there is no fix for this lag in the normal jelly bean roms?

Can't stand those lags anymore on JB.

Exactly the same for me. The dialer, call log and favourites contacts performance is a pain in the... I can't understand how a firmware is realesed where one of the most important apk is not working properly. My solution has been exdialer (which is working flawlessly).
sometimes I think, this is the difference between Samsung and Apple products (I hate to admit that)

Yes, ex dialer, nova launcher. ... did i buy galaxy s3 or some zte blade? !?!
Does anyone have the solution for this? Now I'm on 4.1.2, and the lag is still there, I can't believe , didn't anybody complain about it? Samsung doesn't have an answer for that? Is it impossible to make a fix?

it is because contacts & dialer are not kept in memory. There is a big thread in the General section about it already. Solution till now as I understood: use for instance exDialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807819
+ 'Whitelist 'Dialer/Contacts' on/off toggle (make sure Contacts stay in memory.. removes the lag!)

Exactly the same here. Even stock jb has this Lag. Such a fix will be a huge improvement.
i just tried deluxe settings but it doesnt seems for me to do the trick. i am on omega v37.
AHAHAHAHA The wonderful android on quad core cpu

it has nothing to do with quad core ...
if u install cm 10.1 it opens instant too. its just the bad software that runs on the quad core. and u think the phone boosts up all cores just for opening dialer? play heavy games on both device than u got the true power of that phone

[Q] Lag, Stutter and Choppy Pull Down Notification

Hi there all!
I'm porting MIUI JB for Samsung Galaxy S III. Almost everything works smooth as it should and I'm left with only one little but verry annoying issue: when pulling down the notification status bar the animation lags, it's choppy, not Jelly Bean smooth. All other animations run smooth. This problem prevents many user's acces to a beautifuly crafted ROM in wich I invest most of my spare time and I wouldn't want to stop developing this just for an animation issue.
The MIUI I port is original miuiandroid's Galaxy Nexus version and the base I use is CM10 for SGS III of course, which has nice and fluid animation.
I also tryied other MIUI base, such as Nexus S, and also changed the CM10 build, but every combination has this issue. Related to this I read in different places words like SystemUI, surfaceflinger, motion blur, and vsync... but don't know much about them.
Please can someone give me a hint, a place to start, or maybe a solution?
Best bet would bbe to check the MIUI site. No real development for it is done here nor will it ever be.

IcySnap tweaks?

Hi.
I'm using XPERIAICS ROM beacuse i can't live without XPERIA UI, but neko95's IcySnap is faster, as far as i know it has some tweaks for faster speed, and it's really smooth. Is there any download link for these tweaks,or they are icySnap-exclusive (wich will be bad).
if u knw to extract them well .. you can use them for your personal use... neko would not mind that... but if you make it public with some other rom.. then you must atleast tell him about it.. :fingers-crossed:
we need his permissions to remove the tweaks and make it public.. ask him :good: he would surely help
It's just if IcySnap had XPERIA UI i would love to use it as it's the best ICS ROM for O1, and it's truly fast, even faster than CM7, but XPERIA UI is XPERIA UI and it's a dealbreaker for me
I just want the tweaks,nothing else, so i can enjoy smooth ROM,as i have some lags with XPERIA ICS and low game framerate,
> the latest ICySNAP is already applicable to any theme you want.. just install a theme a launcher and widgets you like.. you'll have it on the ROM.
I think that the problem is that the features and changelogs are TOO detailed. Lol. I read that, but I rtfm as much as possible

request: Xperia P - ICS without bloatware

Pls pls can anybody make ICS without bloatware? Clean rom.
I'm using Xperia P for two years from now. I was install 90% XP custom roms from XDA.
Gb the fastest and ugly :-\
ICS is the most stabile rom with modern look, but custom roms are unfinished :-\
4.1 sucks and dialer bug (but slim rom almost perfect+dialer bug) :-\
4.4 almost perfect, but some days can be slowly and crushy.
5.0 - whats the point?? =-O pls develop native roms (gb/ics/jb and kitkat is cool )
Can anybody make ICS without bloatware? Or can anybody tell me how I can remove bloatware.
I dont want sell XP. I love this phone!
Curently I'm using 4.4.4.
Thnx developers on yours hard work.
actually i'm preety pleased with 4.4... i use greenify donation with xbooster pro... just greenify most of the apps including system and schedule xbooster to boost memory after every hour.... use multitasking profile in xbooster... change cpu governer and io scheduler for better performance... its much better than ICS.
