Why not flash a new ROM?There are so many wonderful ROMs here.
Choose any one you like and flash it ,your problem would be solved at the same time.

Are you using any task killer? I guess that not because of too many used RAM...
Install ZDBox and add on your desktop its widget called task killer.
Other thing which is very important to uninstall every app which you dont use. It consumes RAM even not opened.
And last thing - install CPUspy and run it. It will show how is your CPU running on frequencies and how is under pressure or idle.

It seems that he definitely dont want to install another ROM.
So please do not recommend this as first solution to all-kind problems.

Trouble with root apps.

Is anyone having issues/know how to fix root apps hanging? It only happens with root apps but I open them and they are just a black screen, so I wait and eventually force close. I think all my root apps have done this at least once, but mainly have problems with:
CPU Spy. 8/10 hangs.
Autokiller memory optimizer 2/10 hangs
Set CPU 1/10 hangs
Use about 8 others but they have only done this maybe 1/100 so not too much bother.
Am wondering if its something to do with superuser apk.
CPU spy is really bugging me, any help/advice much appreciated.
Edit: CPU spy works fine once I get it going, until I reboot, then it gives me grief again.

First when you root your x10 you need to restart your x10 before rooting any app.

What is your phone running at the moment, a ROM or SE Firmware? And your baseband, so I can figure out your problem better.
Did you overclock with set cpu, that can mess up things?
Am running wolfs v006 with custom kernel, however these apps used to hang before I installed new kernel. So yeah I use overclock, but only last couple of days and had this problem like forever lol. Same issue on Z's freex10 beta 4.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have an idea that is a slight idea, how about you reflash the ROM and not put any modifying system apps on the phone and carefully watch which apps you put on the phone.
Did you do a nandroid flash back up to restore your settings in the ROM? Also, did you properly wipe full system, all caches before flashing the ROM? This could of been your issue too.

Yeah I have backups for about 4 different roms so that's no prob. I think its autokiller doing it tho, will uninstall all root apps and try one by one.

[Q] Help with phone being awake almost 100% of the time

As the title says, my p500 is awake almost 100% of the time. Even with the screen off (please look at the attached image).
The only apps running at startup (used Startup Manager app to check it) are Go weather, Maps, Market, Minimalistic text and Quick System Info Pro. On my home screen (Go Launcher EX) I use Go Weather, minimalistic text and Winamp widget, nothing else.
Is there somewhere I can look at or maybe some app I can install to see what is causing it?
I'm using Mik's CM7 6.5.5 and franco.kernel v16.1 bfs (this one gives me almost 30% more battery life than the newer versions) and running at 729/245mhz Smartass.
Uninstall maps and you'll be back in action
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I can try that but I've always used Maps and it never happened before. Sure it eats some resources but I dont remember it causing the phone to be awake.
Uninstalled maps and phone is still awake.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Reflash the kernel. And I agree with you.I found the V16.1 better than the later updates

PROBLEM SOLVED
I was planing on sending the phone to repair on monday, but at the time and with the phone here i didn't want to give up so i thought of rooting it and reinstalling the firmware, but nothing worked and the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to a computer. So i kept search other ways to reinstall the firmware and came across a website that talked about a "secret menu" code for the phones and i remembered that this phones must had one and that from there i could do something, i did. From there i did a factory reset and, unlike the ones i did before by going to settings-privacy, when the phone rebooted it told me right way that it was connected to the computer. I also tested the problem with the screen light and so far, so good.
So, if anyone else has this problem(sannielyk reportedly had) what i did was entering the "secret menu" code : 3845#*500# and did the factory reset from there.
Apparently it was a software problem or something that wasn't installed right by the lg service. But so far everything is good, and i hope it keeps that away.
Thanks for the help

I think I've found the villain. I started manual proccess of uninstalling apps and letting the phone sleep for an hour or so to check awake times. After I removed Live Holdem Pro the phone finnaly slept through an entire hour.
Still have to test through a complete battery cicle tho.

Yes, I have tried it. It helps when you do not use 3G/HSDPA. As soon as u enable internet and browse the net and after that disable the internet, the Fast Dormancy process starts to drain the battery again and again. Disabling the Fast Dormancy does not always work.
I swhitched to 2G and then it stopped draining the battery, but it is not the solution, as I can't live without 3G/HSDPA... Don't know what to do

[TIP][ICS ONLY]Improve MultiTasking, reduce launcer redraws and better gaming

Ok I am not sure if it will work for some people cause they are not using too many apps like me -125 at least. So just go to { } Developer Options in setings and scroll down - Background procces limit - 3 processes at most. It also improvers Supercharging

Yeah try even 4 bg procceses . Have you noticed that when you exit a game you wait around 5-10 secs to launcher to show. When you press teh app drawer every app is there. That means that the launcehr is succesefully locked by (ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1) but when you game you have 1bg process witch is the launcher. Then you have gapps on background there are 2 and smthing other till they are 3 bg process. so that why i use 3 teh standart limit is 1 so the launcher is locked but its to active... if you get it xD. Also try ading Zipalign apks at boot. It will also help for more free ramhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266735

SuperNexus ROM Problems JB 4.1.1

I have had this ROM installed on my Galaxy s2 i777 for about 2 days. in this time, i have noticed that there is no way to clear RAM on it so when i am close to running out, the device starts to lag a lot and slows down. is there any way to clear the RAM? i know that the stock firmware has Program Monitor and i used that but this SuperNexus one doesnt have anything to clear my multitasking. I have tried to hold down the home button until the tasks pop up in the small windows but when i slide to clear them, im not sure theyre actually being killed.
Please help me find a way to fix this lagginess because i am thinking of going back to stock firmware.

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just download a task manager or task killer from the market and kill the apps to free up the ram?
Lol idk! I just restarted the phone because it started to lag/ freezeup . When I checked ram there was only 64mb free out of around 800. After I restart it the phone works fine but I guess I have to reboot frequently

If your phone does not lag, or if performance has not changed I wouldn't worry to much. I have been using this rom for a few days now with no issues with speed or performance, so I wouldn't worry to much

(All Sony ICS Devices) Instant Speed Improvement to ICS

Have you been running stock Sony ICS and found that it's very slow/laggy on your phone? :good: Annoyed about RAM issues? Think your device runs poorly on ICS?
Want an instant fix?
Settings/Developer Options/Background Process Limit/*Select* 2 Process Limit
This INSTANTLY improved my Sola, the speed and smooth movement through the phone with this setting is incredible. I spent many hours trying to change settings and look for more suggestions and amazingly this speeded up my phone. I can actually use ICS with fewer problems. I see 150MB RAM compared with 20MB a few days ago, even though I have the same apps and data.
This would reduce multitasking ability a little. I haven't found a problem but that's theoretically the compromise for this faster UI. Also note that this setting is *reset* after you restart your phone, so you will need to press this after a restart. If there's a way of overcoming this I'll post it.
IF you find your Sony device on ICS is running slowly, this may run well for you.
thanks a lot it helped

I'm glad. I'm absolutely sure it works for my device. One thing though, if you restart your phone, that setting is reset - so you need to press 2 process limit again.
I wonder can any more experienced users than I can recommend a tweak/script or something to do this at boot or something? Or some similar idea to take advantage of this?

Shows improvement in benchmarks too.( alot of improvement) .. Bt it is useful only for devices having 512mb ram...

I wonder is there a way of applying this setting to a ROM permenantly? If you select this setting and reset the phone, the setting is reset and the phone slows down, so you need to press 2 process limit once more. If we could apply this at boot or something...:victory:

Now that I think about it, you can just about anything in Android, right? There must be a file we could modify to make this happen as standard. Any ROM devs for example might be able to help.
have you guys checked into your device's multitasking capability after set this stuff? this setting reduce your device multitasking capability alot.
Yes, this will definitely reduce multitasking ability a bit, that's the compromise. If you prefer more multitasking (I don't) then no need to try this.
I can't be sure of all the devices but definitely the Sola on ICS is embarassingly slow. If it were a custom ROM, few people would choose it, it's that slow for many of us. :crying:
Who wants multitasking?? I want speed

Even if this is disabled. The multitasking still sux. Apps after calling to home are closed. If I reapply them from recent apps menu they are simply relaunched... this is not what we can call multitasking
