[Q] Home Screen Lag on Android Rev HD 17.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
First of all, this is my first post here and also this is my first time flashing a custom ROM in my phone.
I would like to ask for advice regarding my current situation.
I came from stock ICS 4.0.4 and flashed android revolution hd 17.1 through CWM recovery. Everything went smooth in the beginning but later on, I noticed that there is lag during home screen panning.
Here is how to create the said lag.
1. In the home screen, you should have an app inside a folder. Open the folder, open an application. preferably not a very lightweight application.
2. After launching the application, exit using the back key.
3. Immediately, pan the home screen left or right.
4. You should notice a slight lag which is not present when panning the home screens that does not come from exiting an application.
So i thought this could probably a problem with some cpu and memory management.
Anyone have the same experience with me. I use the default touchwiz launcher btw.
And also I tried re-flashing the rom and selecting the perseus kernel included but the problem still exists.
If you have any suggestions how I can remove the said lag, please do so. I like the speed of the ROM and the smooth animations but the consistent lag that I am experiencing is just more noticeable because everything else is smooth.
Thanks in advance.

I don't experience this... :3 Same ROM.

No lag for me. Did you do a full wipe before flashing ARHD?

I am not really sure if I did a full wipe.
But I wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, used the wipe that is provided with the AROMA installer.
The internal sd card remained intact.

Try wiping in CWM data and caches en then reinstall the ROM.

I get the same thing using Perseus kernel. I like the options it gives but the lag really bothers me. Using cleanrom 4.5.

Dalvik cache? If so I just did and I will report back
Did it start happening after the supplement 5.1.1? A few users rebooted reboot issues especially after using Flash in the browser. I haven't been able to replicate it, but I also wipe user data as a rule between mods and updates.

before I tried the supplement. I have min stuff on the tab and use it for web browsing. but I did install a few apps that I could share folders off my pc.
it seems to be doing it after I use market at some point. i done the cache clear as above and it worked fine for 2 hours, then I opened up market and looked around. with in 2 min the screen went blank and i was to the lock screen. other times it goes to the home screen.
I done a shut down, restart and havent been on market and its been up for a hour.
I'm running the supplement at this time. only thing downloaded was quadrant and kindle.
first time I done the quadrant test also, it was 2152 or close. not sure what it should be if that matters.
thanks for your help.

Doesn't make sense it would only happen with the same 2 apps & on different roms.
Have you tried browsers other than the stock browser & does it happen with those? What version of Market is currently installed, an older version or the nesest (3.0.27)?

After switching roms you are doing data/factory reset, wipe cache & wipe dalvik aren't you?. Have you tried doing Fix permissions?

Are you talking in CWM, Mounts & Storage?
Shouldn't have to do anything there. All that should be automatically mounted. you wiud know if one of those wasn't. ..system would come up.../data is where installed apps are, /sdcard is where you store stuff, /system is where your rom is, /cache is by the system
If you use cpumaster,setcpu or similar, try removing.I found setcpu to be responsible for crashing some apps and sleep of death on my tab and was only overclocked to 1.2Ghz.I now overclock by editing script included in rom and no more problems.

Is latest CM6.01 firmware ok?

Tested v6.01 CM firmware for X10 Mini Pro. Here my summary:
Much more stable than v5. But there is still random reboot once in a while. Once a day. On v5, random reboot was like four times a day or more...
Performance is also much better. Faster and more responsive, less lag.
Can't run Opera Mobile Browser, still crashes on start up.
Dialler buttons 1,2 & 3 is partially blocked by display.
Good job to developer(s) and hope for more to come!

Just installed and tried it. I noticed the icons for programs stored on sdcard are missing every time after reboot. I had to kill "Home Screen" process and reload it again for them to reappear. Anyone having same problem?
I suspect the Home Screen process does not wait for the sd to load and failed to refresh the icons accordingly...

[Q] AOKP 4.2.2 (Task650) ROM, missing lockscreen and notifications

I've recently installed AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2) Task650 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808015) and the basic install seemed to go very well. I came from stock 4.0.4 (rooted) and for the record I'm using Recovery 6.0.3.0 and I did a full wipe including format system, data, cache, dalvik etc. I installed the new gapps after the ROM, and later restored apps using Titanium.
I have a few issues I can't quite sort out though, and I'm not sure if they are JB, Nova or AOKP related so I thought I'd start a new thread.
1) Lockscreen doesn't appear. At all. When I wake the tablet up, it just comes straight back on to the previously used screen. I've checked all the standard Security settings (unlock mode set to slide or pattern, lock on power button, etc) and also the fancier AOKP ones, but whatever I do the lockscreen just does not appear. I've re-cleared cache and dalvik.
2) Notifications are not showing in the Notifications area. I can see the AOKP 'Toggles' icons/tiles for wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc; the clock; the battery level; the wi-fi SSID, etc - but no general Notifications at all (e.g. list of any updated apps, any download statuses, Poweramp mini controls, new emails/facebook messages, Samba active display, etc).
When these various notification are issued, I do see them appear briefly in the lower-right corner in a grey rectangular box which covers the clock/battery area of the status bar (so the notifications do appear to be triggering) but as soon as that brief message disappears, I can't see any of the notifications within the pop-up notifications area where they should be.
Does anyone familiar with JB, AOKP or this particular ROM have any suggestions, as I'm as a loss at the moment?
Andre
Ah, no-one with any ideas of where these issues might be coming from then?
I might have to try another full-wipe install, and if that fails just go back to stock 4.0.4 until (if ever) Samsung releases a JB update for the original 10.1 tab.

I'm not familiar with that rom, but there are a few things you can try.
1. Try posting in the development thread, it might be a known issue that has a quick fix.
2. If you really want to stick with that rom try the full wipe again. But since you already started with one I don't know if it will fix the problems.
3. If you want to stay with jb I would recommend Aopk build 6 by djmatt604. It runs smoothly and the dev is pretty active.
Hope this helps even a little.

Many thanks for the reply. I have searched and asked in the dev's thread, but I get the very clear impression that if it works on his hardware and no one else has the same problem, his opinion is that it's 100% up to me to sort it out - which is entirely his prerogative, of course: his ROM, his thread, his rules.
Thanks for the recommendation of another AOPK option (I assume you mean [ROM][P7510][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] AOKP Build 6 :: MR1 :: Mar 29 Nightly). I think I might go down that route since, like you, I'm rather dubious that another full-wipe will be any different to the first one.

Yup that's the one. I'd recommend doing a full wipe on the first install to avoid issues. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I went with [ROM][KERNEL][RECOVERY][JB4.2]Infamous AOKP 1.4 (14-Apr-13) in the end, from the same dev you suggested. I added Nova as my launcher and it all works like a charm (well, after I recovered myself from a stupid near-brick when I decided to format the user sdcard in order to clear out any remaining junk from old installs; it cleared out a lot more than I wanted!!!)

Yeah, I usually just wipe data / Factory reset when doing a full wipe and then go in manually and clean out folders that I don't need to clear space. SD maid is a good app for clearing unused space too.

Yeah, I'm normally the same but I thought I'd be nice and thorough for once and get rid of any remaining legacy ICS stuff which some JB updates shove into hidden folders when you upgrade. In hindsight, I shouldn't have bothered.
Still, at least when I finally did get the system recovered enough to install the new ROM, the free space was amazing!

I think the problem may have been with something that Titanium Backup restored from my previous setup, but I never found out what. I had to do a factory reset to clear it in the end (although not a full ROM reinstall).
As I'd already gone that far though, rather than risking re-installing apps again I actually chose another ROM anyway - Infamous (see above) - which I'm very happy with, and the devs there seem much happier to talk to you in general. Just my observation anyway, your experiences could well be quite different of course.

[Q] Issues with Android Revolution HD - Need help.

Hi, I would like to tell you my series of unfortunate events.
I was on Stock Android Rom with my International s3.
Yesterday i got bored and i installed Revolution Hd Rom (32). It was awesome! i liked 4.2 and i liked that it was stable/fast.
My main concern WAS the stability and speed about roms. And Revolution was flawless.
So while i was setting up my phone, i did something HORRIBLE!
I was trying to install Jobnik's slow mo camera app with cwm. But stupidly i tried to flash it like a rom (Used app to reboot and install rom.)
So my device was stuck on boot. (on samsung logo)
- I tried to wipe cache
- Tried to wipe cache + dalvik cache
- Tried to wipe cache + dalvik cache + factory data reset+user data wipe (a little problem there though, all of my files were still there.)
And nothing helped.
I give up.
I was lucky, i had the rom image on my sd card root. So i flashed it again. Installed with aroma. And ta-dah! My phone was back!
SOO here comes my problem;
- Now my rom is so slow! I have some flickering issues too. When i first installed i've selected some tweaks. (build.prop, sqlite and seeder.)
Second time i didn't.
Now i don't want to flash my rom AGAIN
Is there any way for me to get those tweaks again. OR even is that possible those tweaks were THAT important.
My phone feels like **** now. Please point me towards somewhere.
I've installed Watchdog and there are no apps that hogs my cpu. So i think my performance issue lies somewhere else.
- Note: My account is new, so i couldn't posted to the rom's thread. (Also couldn't able to find an Official Q&A thread.)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
I was poking around and i found out if i disable HW Overlay from Developer options flickering issue goes away and it "seems" like i have less lag.
But what i've read about this option tells me to not disable it because HW overlay is good for performance & battery. Should i disable it. Or does my ROM requires HW to be disableD?

[Q] YP-G70 SGP5 USA Home Screen Icons disappear?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873670
Having a minor problem similar to the above thread - icons disappear from home screen after reboot for apps on sdcard.
I changed launchers from trebuchet and this seems to have remedied the problem for the time being for any other launcher so far.
The thread above suggests launcher change is only a temp remedy and unchecking fast boot android setting may help too.
But that setting is missing in cm11-0712 - anyone know if this setting still exists or where one may find it?
Thread above also suggests real issue requires an added flash of Convert2ext4 which is prob too complicated for me to understand at this point and so I wouldn't try it without more study - not even sure if this particular flash would play right with my current ROM.
Anyone else with this same problem?

Just out of curiosity - if I full wipe (i think full wipe means in cwm to do factory/data wipe & cache wipe & format system & dalvik cache wipe) and then attempt to reflash the same rom cm11_0712 - would I have to restart from scratch meaning cm9 to cm10 to cm11_0712 or can I just push cm11_0712 directly? I am asking because I think cm11 already contains a kernel embedded so this might work directly?
Then of course I would have to restore my apps from TB which I'm still working on learning how to do. But am interested in poss increasing performance by turning on ART so I'd want to turn on ART first thing and then one by one restore my apps+data. Would this also work? Or is it not advisable to restore from backups with data from before ART was enabled?
Could I poss also restore some system data like launcher & live wallpaper data settings at this point without being too destructive?
I don't think you have to start over from CM 9, unless you're coming from q stock ROM, which you aren't. But yeah, just do a full wipe and reflash CM 11. As for ART, I wouldn't recommend using it until there is CM for Android L. Oh yeah, and restore your apps BEFORE you convert to ART if you haven't ever messed around with it before. Your device will automatically do the conversion from Dalvik to ART once you enable ART in Developer Options, then you will be able to mess around with it. Hope this helps

Yes, thanks. Perhaps ART is alittle too much to bite off for now and will wait. Since my other thread talks about FC's, I was thinking ART might help too but better instead to just direct re-flash cm11 fresh vs update flash (what I had been doing and redoing). Everyone's tips very helpful too.
Just a quick update - for other reasons, I reflashed cm11 fresh (full wipe) and restored apps from TB backups. The trebuchet home screen icons still disappeared for sdcard installed apps but also poor battery life returned too. Tried to mess with settings again to save more battery life but not so good battery & this compelled me to switch to carbon ROM fresh install as a new try out.
This now has launcher3 & home icons disappear too & the few battery saving settings get the battery life to pretty good. So going to stick around with carbon for a while for now - many more settings in carbon too if that appeals. As for the icons disappearing root cause still not sure exactly but at least carbon seems to support std fix also used with cm11 to change launchers to something else. Am using smart launcher instead and home icons don't disappear with it.
