[FIX] Lag fix for cm10 based roms (cm10, paranoid android, jellybro) - Nexus 7 Original Development

I originally posted this in the Galaxy nexus forums, but its not device specific as far as I know and works on both my nexus 7 and galaxy nexus so I'll post it here.
Original Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875486
I have a fix for the lagginess in builds from the past week and a half or so. The culprit is the surface flinger library. It is the android compositing system and some changes recently made to it are responsible for the significant lag in recent builds. Most noticeable spot is if you hit the home button if you have the notification drawer down. It becomes extremely laggy without this patch. Scrolling is also less smooth whenever multiple things on the screen are being drawn. This fixes all those issues.
Just flash this in cwm or whatever recovery you choose. Should work on all cm10 builds and cm10 based roms like paranoid android.

I'll give it a shot in the latest nightly of CM10 in a few minutes.

Cwm aborted the flash as it was a bad zip. Is there an md5 to check?

Can't say how it flashes from CWM (I put the lib in the CM10 zip and flashed it like that), but the fix does seem to work. I did:

and I don't notice any lag. Don't exactly know how bad it is without this fix though.

Hmm, flashes on mine. Try disabling md5 check. I didn't sign the zip.

Will this also work on pa for the HTC One X?

Really don't know if that necessary, my Roms runs pretty smooth.
I am not using pa but domination.
It's this fix necessary if I am running pa 2.1 on the nexus 7 or does it have this fix already, especially tapatalk seems laggy

Seems to have solved the stutter when scrolling quickly through web pages on Chrome.... however, I have been drinking and it could be a placebo effect. (Honesty!)

i just pasted the .so into system/lib with root explorer...it crashed the rom but it is still there upon reboot. I changed permissions and rebooted again....will do some testing now.
Edit: works. Worth it.

Ok, please tell us what you think

Alcohol aside... definitely feels ALOT smoother!

[Q] fully working stable jellybean rom?

hey guys, quick question?? ive been running thtrough jellybean roms but theyre all buggy in their own ways.. i was wondering if theres a particular jelly ROM thats stable enough to use everyday? som give me "com.process.yadayada.com" errors and in some i cant get back out of fullscreen videos viewed through the browser?? lol i just really want a chill stable version of jelly.. could be 4.1.1 for all i care i just want it to function like a phone is supposed to.. and believe me i tried everything.. wiping cache/dalvik/factory, fixing permissions, reflashing the roms and nothing?? maybe im not doing something right? thanks in advance everyone.
All JB roms are going to have some bugs. The code for the note has not been officially released from Samsung. Just something you have to deal with and probably why no one has answered your question.
If you want my opinion try Jamie's latest and greatest CM 10.1 build. It's under the Android development thread. For me it has been the most stable.

I haven't found a bug on Jamie's yet
You may want to try different governor and schedulers. Some are more stable then others and different ones work best for different phones. For my phone ondemand/sio is the best setup.
JamieD's UNOFFICIAL CM 10.1 preview 4 is very stable is based on the latest 4.2.2 and can be tweaked in many wonderful ways to work how u want it... I would trust ANY of his ROMs ... If u want 4.1.2 get his PA ROM from official development. If u want all of the latest features and also like updates then go for 10.1

Just to be the Devil's Advocate here, I actually had quite the opposite results. When I first started flashing and learning more and more, I got super into running different scripts and experimenting with different governors and schedulers...i think just based on the intrigue of having the capability itself, as well as seeing all of these posters on here saying how smooth and solid their phones were after running ________ governor at these super high over clocked speeds.
But no matter what combo i tried, I would always either LOSE UI speed, start overheating at the first sign of additional processing, drain battery like it's going out of style, or a combination of all three.
So I finally just gave up and started being patient every time I flashed a new ROM, just sticking it out for a few days on the stock setup...and sure enough, I've never been happier - UI smoothness, processing speed, battery temp, and battery life in general have never been better and more consistent for me since I "wizened up". Now keep in mind, this (like every ROM, kernel, etc) is rarely ever going to be exactly the same for anyone else - I have no doubt that your setups are working great for you - so take it with a grain of salt of course. Just wanted to provide my two cents!
So which Jellybean Rom can use the TETHERING & PORTABLE HOTSPOT. I installed the CM10.1 preview 5 last night. But the tethering funtion is not working too. Even I turn on the tethering but I can't see from another device. Please advice.

i dont think that protable hotspot works on any CM10.1 rom. i also have P5 and and also P1, P2,etc....usb tethering is the only way that it works.
i also tried apps like FoxFi and WiTether and they dont work on this.
but i read in this thread, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082057 ), that running it without a password lets it work. i have not confirmed this yet.

Can't get a Smooth AOSP Rom

I'm a huge LTE fan after switching from the Galaxy Nexus, but I'm missing the smoothness. Why is it that the Gnex UI is so much smoother? Isn't the S4 a lot more powerful than the OMAP? The only thing can think is that I have a defective device, or AOSP is simply more optimized for the Nexus devices.
Try Dastins or Evervol 4.2.2 AOSP, Nothing smoother in my opinion.

Sometimes I wonder if everyone is just drinking the same AOSP Kool-Aid because AOSP roms just don't work well at all on my phone, yet everyone keeps posting about how fast and smooth they are. I haven't experienced that at all. Maybe I just have a defective phone, but Sense roms run so much better for me that there's really not even any comparison.

^^^^^^^ weird, sense just lags like mad for me. I never use it. Been playing with sense 5 last few days out of curiosity, and it does have some really strong points, but still feels slow and laggy compared to rootbox and PACman ROMs. And BTW, OP, those are my suggestions. Heard carbon was amazing, but haven't personally tried it yet due to playing with sense 5 last few days.

I have not the slightest hint of lag or stuttering on any Sense rom. AOSP roms have proven to be extremely hit or miss for me, mostly miss. I'm on Root Box right now, but to be honest I'll probably go back to Sense 5 tomorrow because it's just so much better.

I guess I'm missing something. I don't get lag when scrolling on anything, with exception of when a webpage isn't loaded or something.
Scrolling through settings? I can flick settings and it scrolls like a motherf'n greased pig through a butter tunnel in a frictionless world going straight down, etc.
Is there something I'm missing? I walked my fingers along the screen and things scroll fine. I don't do as many extra stuff with my phone anymore, so maybe that's it? How much of a lag or stutter could there be?

I'm wondering if this phone was somehow reconfigured internally at some point without it being publicized. Some people are having excellent luck with AOSP roms, and some (like me) are definitely not. What's more, the people having good luck with AOSP seem to have terrible lagging with Sense. CM10.1 is worse than using a single core phone for me, and the experience isn't much different with any other AOSP rom. Sense roms, on the other hand, absolutely fly on my phone.

I could see them making some changes -- are you guys flashing kernels separate as well, or just using the ones that come with the ROM? Or a setting, or something? I dunno...I've just never had this problem on either kind of ROM.

Major Lag

Hey xda!
I just got this tablet yesterday.
Ever since it first booted, there's been terrible lag. Im planning on rooting and slapping on CM, but I'm just wondering. Is this lag normal? I mean even as I'm typing this message, the keyboard is lagging terribly.
And on a side note, is the cm nighties available in the development thread stable? Including the kernel?

Maybe is the system problem, or some hack may cause the device to hang.

May i... You have to enable wallpaper quick render in your launcher settings to eleminate the lagg in cm
Settings > launcher > wallpaper quick render > enable.
Oc your tablet to 1400 Mhz in performance settings.
Performance settings are hidden, you can unhide them if you go to 'about tablet' settings and tap 7 times.. I think... On the build number,
But from my experience is that you don't need so much power so i stay on 1000-1200 Mhz unless i watch video's
The lagg should be pretty much over.

First thanks for your reply!
1. Yes, that's already been enabled by default.
2. I'm over clocked to 1.2. I guess I'll try OCing to 1.4.
The lag is not in the homscreen per se, it's more throughout the OS. Lockscreen, notifications, apps etc.

I've experienced the same thing. Mine is rooted on CM 10.1 nightly from a few weeks back. Even when I was religiously updating on the nightlies it is still very laggy. 2-3 seconds for the soft keyboard to come on or go away, 2-3 seconds for apps to even think about loading, choppy transitions. It is extremely noticeable and frustrating.

Quite frankly, I sometimes also have this lag issue, no matter what ROM I've tried, how many full wipes I make, still very lag. Weird thing is that for me it will go away after a few days.

I use system cleaner's widget, once i experience lagg, i click on the widgets and it,s over again, i know task killers are propaganda, but it helps for a short amount of time, anyway' it's not hard to click on a widget for a second

I use adrenaline boost when my tab gets laggy. It drops the caches so you can get more ram when needed(very useful for gamers like me ). But in these few days of weird lag, nothing helps, even installing tweaks and mods.

Lag and dropped frames on custom Roms

Hey all,
Last night I rooted my DNA and installed TWRP recovery after using the latest Moonshine method to get S-OFF. I first installed the CM 10.1 Unofficial rom that I found under the DNA Original Android Development section, and that was a disaster, as it dropped frames constantly and was super buggy. I even did an Antutu test which it struggled through and scored a 11000... Then I went ahead and flashed one of the newer Sense 5 ROMs from the DNA Android Development forum and that one only faired slightly better with performance. I find it odd that they're running so terribly. Did I do something wrong in the process? I wiped the cache and dalvic cache and did a factory reset and all. I thought that with the DNA's specs, I wouldn't have this trouble...

Pretty dang sure. I did the Moonshine S-OFF method, flashed TWRP, did a full wipe and installed CM 10.1.

There is definite lag in the Sense 5 ROM's. If you want stability and speed then go back to original development and give Viper a run. A ton of customizations and very stable.

Whoops, accidental post... Lol. What I was gonna ask was if there were any 4.2 ROMs that are relatively smooth and stable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Try Seeder.
I barely experience lag on the Sense 5 ROMs...
I definitely know what you mean. Trying out Sense 5 currently. I love Sense 5, but the drop in performance in relation to stock can be glaring at times. Especially opening and closing the app drawer.
This has been my experience on many custom ROMs over the years. I just think some people are more tolerant.
I downloaded an app from Play Store that fixes TRIM issues. Phone speeds up for a while, then slows down again. I also overclocked to 1.75 Ghz. The app is called LagFix

MotoX 4.4 Dalvik Libs Increase Performance

Check this thread out and read the remaining discussion (four pages)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967843&page=197
Some peoples Antutu increased by 3k. Anyone willing to try it out? Can these libs be merged into ROM builds?
Here is the link to the separate bionic and dalvik libraries, instead of the original file which contains both. This link also contains a very nice FAQ.
Also, the new files were modded so it works on CM!

More info. According to this it should work on any rooted android. Maybe because it's 4.4 related we need the latest tarp or clockwork to successfully flash it

Qualcomm optimized Dalvik libraries boost benchmark scores of Nexus devices
By Rajesh Pandey 7 hours ago.
Google is all set to replace Dalvik with ART (Android Run Time) in the next version of Android. Whatever lag issues that are present in Android currently can be blamed on the use of Dalvik, which compiles app when they are launched compared to ART pre-compiling apps. Comparisons between ART and Dalvik have shown that the former provides much superior performance in apps including lower load times and smoother animations etc.*
Android SoC vendors like Qualcomm have constantly used some proprietary tweaks to speed up Dalvik runtime on their SoCs, which have helped increase scores in benchmarks dramatically. However, since these optimizations are proprietary (closed source), they are not included in the Nexus devices and cannot be used by developers in custom ROMs, because of variations of OEM skins from stock Android. The lack of Dalvik optimizations is also the key reason why the Nexus devices always scored lower in benchmarks compared to offerings from other OEMs.
However, thanks to the Android 4.4 update for the Moto X, Nexus owners can now also enjoy the goodness of these closed source Dalvik optimizations. A senior XDA member, kszaq, has extracted the Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik libraries from the Moto X KitKat update, and repacked it into a CWM flashable ZIP file for Nexus devices.
Initial reports show that post the installation of the optimized Dalvik libraries, the benchmark scores of the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 jumps up by a pretty huge margin. The improvements in day to day usage, at least on my Nexus 5, are tough to say. The optimized Dalvik libraries should work on any rooted Android device, that is powered by Qualcomm’s Krait processor. Head over to this XDA thread for the download link.

Woah... I'm gonna have to try this later. Maybe this will keep me from having to switch back and forth between gpe and aosp.

I was being adventurous because the libraries are for 4.4 but I'm on Carbon 4.3. Kept my fingers crossed after flashing and it stopped at the boot animation. I restored my nandroid and I'm back to normal.
Edit: I quoted an article in the op saying it should work. Will try again later.
Edit 2: tried with latest twrp, still hung at boot animation. I don't feel like trying clockwork, maybe someone else can.
Oops, I didn't realize it was for 4.4. I was about to flash it on carbon too.

That's unfortunate I hope we can get this working somehow... From what I'm reading it's an actual performance increase and not just for benchmarks. Maybe because how difficult it was to get our device working it's just not compatible?
Also I don't know if cm11 is deodexed or not but I would assume it is... You're using dalvik and not ART right?
Perhaps I'll flash a Kit Kat ROM this weekend, a different one that's closer to stock aosp and see if out works. I think everyone that's been using it has been on stock deodexed Kit Kat.
Edit: BTW if you have issues you shouldn't need to restore the whole ROM, just either restore the system partition or wipe system and reinstall the ROM.

It appears it doesn't work with the CM11 Nightlies. It's supposed to be for deodexed roms.
Edit:
These libs appear to for Qualcomm Krait processors, which the DNA has. In theory devs should be able to get these libs to work.
The Nexus5 guys love it, dramatic increases in benchmarks and noticeable performance increase.
They have tested it on odexed and deodexed ROMs and confirmed it works. Some guys successfully ran it on beergang and cataclysm ROMs.

Okay, I just tested this on Gummy 4.4 and it worked like a charm. For what it's worth, I was using the latest CWM, not TWRP. I also didn't clear dalvik or anything afterwards. Here are the results...
Quadrant Stock:
View attachment 2411154
Quadrant w/ Moto X Dalvik Libs:
View attachment 2411155
As a reference point, engadget's quadrant score was 8,028 when they first reviewed the DNA.
I did wait a little while for the phone to cool off between benchmarks. Sorry, I didn't get a chance to do Antutu or any other tests.
More important than benchmarks, though, is how the phone actually performs. I'm not ready to commit to a kit kat rom just yet, so I didn't use it for too long, but I can say from what little testing I did that it definitely felt much smoother during opening/closing apps compared to stock 4.4. I also tested True Skate (pretty much the only game I play as of lately, if you haven't played it you really need to), which is basically unplayable on AOSP ROMs on anything except the lowest settings, although it works pretty well on medium and high settings on Sense and GPE ROMs. The game is now playable on high settings.
So basically, as I had hoped, this mod is more than just a benchmark booster or a placebo effect, it actually puts my DNA's performance back up to par with Sense ROMs.
Unless I messed something up I just tried applying this update to CM 11.0 4.4 via CWM and got FCs upon bootup. Had to revert to my backup, gonna try Gummy next.

Yea I did some reading and saw it has to be an AOSP ROM which Gummy is. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, I just finally got CM11 set up and customized how I want. I'll update once I try it out, if only Gummy didn't have camera and data issues I'd be more motivated to do it now.
Oh man I cant wait til this gets working on other ROMs! This looks very interesting!!!! Thanks for sharing

Wonder if VanirASOP ROM will work?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure vanir and beanstalk should both work, they're both aosp based. I just picked gummy because I know it's very very close to aosp. I just wish I knew what it is about cm that makes it not compatible, because that means there will be other Roms that will have the same problem.

Interestingly, it appeared to have no affect for me on Gummy ROM. Tried with stock kernel, CRPalmer's kernel, modified settings, etc. Nothing seemed to make a difference. It's the same score on ART on CM11 or dalvic on CM11/10.2/10.1. Still nowhere near the 10k quadrant I was able to get on stock ROM.
I haven't noticed any change in the speed in using apps either.
I guess it's a YMMV type of thing then. The only time I was ever able to get a 10k quadrant was with [email protected] on Sense 5.

Yeah. I'm not sure why it didn't seem to make any difference for me. Almost like it wasn't really flashing appropriately (even though I attempted many times including reflashing the ROM and the mod multiple times). And, you're right I guess it was with beastmode overclocked that I got 10k. But, currently with AOSP 4.4/4/3 and CM 11/10.2 I get anywhere between 3k's to 4k. Once, got it up to 5k during a random quadrant score testing but that was it. I'm curious though to now how/if other's are able to get it functioning what their procedures and settings are.
