I just DL System Tuner. And i would like to have some guidance on what i can do. For example can i make the transitions of screens more faster and smooth. Or can i make my games less laggy. Improve internet speed. Improve battery though dont really matter though. haha. But what are my possibilities with this app
there is a lot of things you can do with it, however I find that most of them tweaks are placebo and cause more problems then just staying stock.

Me and my friend just downloaded Raging thunder 2 I have the eris and he has the motorola droid. Well let me tell you his rendering on the droid stock rom is running perfect no stuttering and on my device which is the rooted leaked 2.1 its sucks not even possibly playable. It is a great game but not on my phone. Does anyone know of anything we can do or is there something i am missing to make my 3d rendering a little better. There arent any options on the game to lower quality etc. Thanks
Tips?
I would suggest using advanced task killer before running your game, this way any applications sucking up your RAM, will no longer, for a bit.
Also the Moto DROID has a [slightly] faster processor, not much we can do about that one...
Also, are you still on SENSE UI? [I'm running NexusOne Launcher and totally removed SENSE from my Rom, and BAM, increased response from my phone..]
Advanced task killer was and always will be the first app i Install. I am still running sensui I closed it and went to the regular home to see if it made the game faster and it had a negligible effect.
Well...
I am downloading the apk from the app market right now and I will run it in a bit and let you know if my set-up runs faster...
Thanks please let me know how you make out
Soo.. I'm back
annnd I got the thing to run with considerably less lag... still not 100% smooth
I did the following things...
1) My ROM is trimmed down quite a bit, I deleted HTC SENSE UI, didn't like it too much, I deleted amazonMP3, and a bunch of system apps I never use and that keep showing up on task killer
2) I made sure to temp change my live background to a non live background, for obvious reasons [ram, processor]
3)went to task killer, killed apps running
4) opened SetCPU [downloaded from app market, free] and set to 528MAX, and 480MIN <-- I found this setting doesnt make my battery run hot
5) opened Raging thunder and it loaded pretty fast
Now until we can get the kernels for 2.1 and modify the CPU clock speed, aka overclocking we can do too much but minimize unnecessary RAM and CPU usage.
I hope this helps..

Please look into how android does memory management, task killers are a BAD idea. Dalvik/android will kill background apps as needed.
Android22 try using ivan's 0.7 rom.

I am on Ivans .7 Rom again now... reflashed it earlier this afternoon after this. Same results. I dont play games on my device...just trying to help others!
I know they say they remove bloatware, but I also read that they just freeze the Motoblur apps so I'm not too sure how much of a speed improvement they give.
I'm currently thinking about buying an Atrix but all the reviews I read say that because of Motoblur it is laggy in a lot of places and it becomes an annoyance after a while. Do these ROMs completely fix that problem? Or do they only fix it a little bit?
It doesnt completely go away. For example, I still notice lag on my lockscreen and if I have a wallpaper going, whenever I open my app drawer(regardless of launcher) with Gingerblur 4.
Motoblur isnt THAT sluggish though unless you have a live wallpaper going. Just replace the default launcher, doesnt matter what you change it to. The default one is slow and somewhat irritating.
I stumbled upon a very interesting new launcher that's currently in development.
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.pierrox.tiny_home
I tried it on my phone and while it definetely lacks a LOT of features that we are used to even from minimal launchers like Zeam, it's can be so incredibly fast and resource-friendly, I almost think it makes other apps run smoother.
It's a bit buggy and currently has no support for widgets at all, but it's very customizable ...and did I mention that it's fast?
I set the "All Apps" section to 3 columns and increased the top and bottom margins a bit (dimensions), set icon filtering off (miscellaneous) and reflections off (reflection). The app drawer is almost iphoney smooth now.
There is a bug that reverts the app icons on the home screen from time to time. I haven't found a way around it, nor did I find a solution other than to delete and readd the icons, but the dev is aware of the problem.
While this launcher might not be a potential daily driver in its current state, its worth checking out and following..
Looks pretty good, I'll test it out later and get some screenshots up of it!
Will give it a try to. thx
It's my daily driver now. It makes my phone so much more comfortable to use. I still fear that I'm imagining things, but I could swear that there are less app restarts and scrolling is smoother. I don't use any tuning scripts since they seemed to hurt more than they helped. The developer says that he's planning to implement some basic widget support. This can only get better, I think
looks very very good hope that the dev. work on bugs ^^
I like it, it just win7launcher
I've been testing go launcher to see whether it suffers from home screen redraw issues and so far it seems that after about an hour of testing by using apps, keeping around 8 max apps in memory , the launcher has not redrawn yet.
The phone has killed apps but not the launcher.
Sure its a tired launcher but its fast as hell especially with animation settings at 0.5 and seems so far to be resistant to home screen redraw.
Will post back if anything changes but so far all good.
Cheers.
Nova launcher is waaaayyy better than go launcher and never redraws either!
I don't like those Chinese type things like miui or go launcher etc.

Every launher so far redraws including nova. I'm not saying go launcher is amazing I'm just saying so far it is the only launcher that doesn't suffer from home screen redraw.
Tw , apex and Nova all suffer from redraw from time to time whether people like to admit it or not.
Just trying to help :-D
Peace.

Well I would admit it if it did.
I don't work for nova or anything!
Maybe you should try android.mimic.ca and use that to upload your services.jar and change the oom priority settings.
It stops the launcher being killed off.

Surely this procedure is just moving the problem elsewhere. The screen re-draws because it needed the RAM to service what you were just doing. Then you hit home and it assigns the memory back to the launcher.
So, what would the performance have been like with the app/webpage you were looking at before hitting home if the launcher is now hogging the RAM it needed. Surely instead you'll now get crashing browsers as its out of RAM.
The real cure to this is trying to reduce the amount of RAM the whole OS is using. The ROMs are huge especially compared to the S2 which never suffered with the re-draw problem as it always had loads of memory/RAM to play with.
All these new features have cost us performance as the RAM is the same as the last model. I'd rather of had 2 cores with 2MB of RAM rather than 4 cores with 1MB of RAM. How did Samsung get this the wrong way round? Guess it must have been the whole "Quad Core" marketing crap balanced with cost of production.
The problem is de-bloating and thining the ROM down to stop this RAM issues makes this an S2 with a bigger higher res screen. All the new features need to be taken out.
I experienced my first redraw on Go launcher first time i launched firefox after installation yesterday. I uninstalled immediately as I didn't like it.
This issue would suggest 1GB internal RAM isn't sufficient for the S3.

It doesn't move the problem, the oom settings were too aggressive.
I haven't had a launcher redraw since, never had an app crash and don't experience this music stopping problem that other people are having.
Its not a lack of ram that's the problem, its Samsung poor ram management settings.
Although that's not to say these roms couldn't do with losing a few pounds, 600mb+ for a rom is obscene.
Its still early days in S3 development so I'm sure the devs will sort it all out.
Remember the s2 has had loads of time for devs to fine tune every aspect of roms and kernels etc.
Modifying the launchers oom priority has worked for me so at the end of the day people can try it or not.
I'm happy with how I have my system running.

go launcher works very great for me! no lag at all
You can try moving your launcher to the system/app folder ... tha "status" of system application is different than "standard" apps.
I haven't had a redraw since the latest few jb. I completely forgot about the problem until I saw this thread.
not that it matters, but I'm on apex launcher.
I just installed SlimRom and I am loving everything about the rom so far.
I just wish APEX wasn't as choppy as it currently is. Any suggestions on how it can be made to be smoother without switching to a different launcher?
I came from CleanRom Pro 4.5. with Sense. Very smooth scrolling with that. I've been hearing APEX on Nils is also smooth. I would like to stick to SlimRom due to its simplicity.
any inputs would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
set scroll speeds to 1 or 2
It's all about the settings and configurations, you can set the scroll speeds, set the animation and transition scaling in settings/development options, use something like spare parts plus to set some transition speeds and force 2D GPU rendering, things like that. But you can get it set up and dialed in to feel however you desire (well within reason) if you spend some time in there. About like having a girlfriend I guess.
Part of it if you're on is a desensed rom is that without the smooth rosie tweaks in a lot of the roms, the launcher graphics acceleration feels weird.
I've never had any choppy issues with Apex on SlimROM, or any other ROMs. Nova has always been choppier for me regardless of the ROM while scrolling though.
I usually keep my homescreens pretty simple, 4 widgets total, a few apps and a live wallpaper, so there's not a whole lot going on to lag things out. Plus I don't have a bunch of apps installed, so it doesn't have a lot to load up either.
I'm not sure why it's laggy for some people but not others...
