Why does the phone lag to the point of barely working?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Well, for starters tell us what your running.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Must be on stock 2.1.....
I haven't had lag at all in a very long time. Do yourself a favour and try one of the froyo roms...
I also will lag a lot sometimes, a lot that even the launcher will restart whenever i go back to home from an application. So I check the free memory it's less than 30mb even though I used autokiller memory optimizer setting (60,70,80). Thus I check the apps run, nothing wrong with it. I reboot and run those apps again, and I still left ~90mb ram and it back to normal (fast).
P.S I am using 2.2
Weird, I seriously cannot think of the last time I had any lag at all....
The only time I get any is when the phone first boots up for like a couple seconds before the sd card reads, then it is fast as hell.
What rom are you using? Could it maybe be an app you have?
I'm on the stock 2.1 with Rogers.
even killing all tasks doesn't help when it's lagging bad.

Oh god, stock 2.1 sucks. Do you at least have jit enabled?
try to change to 2.2.1 ROM, I use CM 6.1.3 and it's awesome!!!
it will lag when the gallery tries to cache all the photos in your memory card. You can't do anything about it(well i don't know what can you do to remove the lag).

No I don't have JIT enabled.
It's not even when I'm loading any photos. Even if I'm in handcent_SMS the thing slows down to a halt. Very annoying.

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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Was set CPU. Now using CPU master its all fine, and am saving about 5-10 seconds off my boot time. Guess it wasn't working well with my setup!

For some reason, the RAM on my galaxy ace is always running at about 80 something even when I have auto memory manager set to aggressive, clean up ram after every minute and set the presets really high. After it clears up, some apps get automatically preloaded again.
Is there a way to control how much ram can stay consistent on the phone? It lags when the ram is running pretty low so I was wondering if there's a way to keep up a whole bunch of free ram.
I'm running my Ace on 2.3.5 stock rom rooted.
Try allinone script frm development section. It free's a hell lot of memory. It needs cf-root or cm7 to work.

Dont jus say thanks, use d 'Thanks' button. [XDA-RULE]
If you don't like scripts try the Ram manager app by Juwes11, it helps maintain some free ram.
some apps cannot be killed/are persistent so don't bother killing those.
Thanks guys! Will try them out
autostarts is a great app to prevent useless apps from restarting/starting in a certain situation. (e.g. when you start your phone/wifi etc.)
Used it for a few months and im very happy with it.
Wont it close the app when I start it up manually though? Have you had any errors with it?

when i bought SGA then i noticed first thing ram usage was high as there were most of bloatwares from samsung which were starting on there on...
rooted it on that day and removed them
now on CF-ROOT using allram script
Ooo what does that script do and how do I get it?

for that you need to install CF-ROOT kernel which is pretty good..
look here
but if you are on locked device do confirm that it is safe or not to install kernel as it may make thing much worse..
if it is unlocked ace then feel free to install it right way..
if you are new to flashing this thing then there is complete guide for cf-root Here
and allinoneram script here
Oh man thanks a lot dude! Ill thank you when I go on my pc. I don't know how to thank through the app. XD

is your phone unlocked??
then surely give it a try
I'm not sure. How can I tell if its unlocked? The boot animation from my phone company is gone was soon as I upgraded to 2.3. Do I need to switch it to a different company's simcard or something?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
yeah if you can use phone with other service provider sim card then its unlocked one
and if you get some error or no network then mostly its locked
Well if its not unlocked, how can I unlock it?

well about this i will not suggest anything as i have seen many people just ****ing up there phones with no success but some says it works....
some method works but i will not encourage you for doing things and screwing phone
Oh okay. I can't wait to give the whole ram thing a try though. About how much free do you have? Mines circles at around 70-90 and sometimes lower.

nonono xD For instance. When i start my wifi some apps automatically starts, and i dont want that (bec it would be a pain if my 5+ apps started everytime i did that).
And also, some apps starts when the phone turns on, even though they dont need to be started. If you manually start an app autostarts wont harm it.
Oh okay. Sounds really good! Can't wait to see it in action

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

Auto-Brightness & Picasa photos
Anybody having issues with the auto-brightness not working 100% of the time?? The screen takes incredibly long to change brightness levels on the few times it does work.
Also, I've been having an issue with not being able to view my online picasa and google + albums in the gallery.
Suggestions anyone??

Well I don't know what to say. I've run all the jb ports and most of the ICS roms and haven't noticed this happening to me. Then again I probably have a lot less apps installed than most. Have u tried doing full wipe a reinstalling and giving it some time to settle in again?

Hey everyone,
I have a unlocked O2 phone it seems, on Monday I tried rom'ing it to Jelly bean.. I found a decent rom from the Internet and went ahead with the firmware update. The firmware turned out to be the most basic of basic jelly bean builds... I couldn't even sign in with my Google account...? So I wanted to restore it.
I found another rom and rooted it first etc but after this one installed it kept looking the Samsung start up logo.. Looked up the symptoms and it seems a mild form of bricked. So I went into recover mode and did a data wipe and restore.
When it restored it booted up and now I had jelly beans with all my old settings and it even started to download my apps etc. Great I thought just what I wanted but I have no idea how it's done this.
Anyways... Been playing on it for about an hour now and it seems dead slow. I've cleared the cache and cleared all recent apps and I'm running at 86% ram capacity it seems. Is this normal when no apps are open? Opening my contacts seems to take a good second or two to open. It never did this on ics.
Any ideas anyone? I've attached a screen shot for illustration.
Thank you in advance.

That's what happens when we don't do FULL wipe. Search megawipe and use before flashing roms.

No.
Do not use megawipe, superwipe or bullish*t-stupidwipe.
They are not necessary, juts wipe cache, dalvik and system before flashing a ROM.
That is all.

Get rid of that damn monitoring app, don't use task killers or any other pointless apps.

Back up just using the feature in the recovery mode or use something like titanium back up?

My phone shows 684/833MB RAM but it is very smooth. I let Android do the memory management in my phone. Don't bother myself with shutting down any apps or getting more 'Juice' out of my phone.

YEs, it is normal.
The motto with Android is that "unused RAM is wasted RAM"
The way Android manages RAM has nothing to do with how we are used to see RAM with PCs, since PCs don't cache apps that are not running.
In Android, the apps are cached so they are easier to access the next time you need them. This is specially useful for apps like Contacts, Dialer, etc. Remember that everything in Android is an application.
My phone yesterday had only 80Mb free and yet it was quite snappy, very responsive.
So, in short forget about RAM in Android devices. We gotta get rid of the old paradigm of how RAM works in a tradicional PC.
I want something that feels a bit quicker, can anyone recommend a nice rom that's like stock but lighter? My current model shown below...

I have the same symptoms with stock JB. I updated my G3 via Kies. Any ideas how to speed it up without wiping everything?
You can try Foxhound Rom Essentials Version which has a lot of things removed that aren't needed (Like S Voice, Samsung Apps, Bloatware etc). There's also Hyper Light rom (I think). Have a look in the rom section and look for roms that mention the word light.
I've got a awesome rom installed now... No Samsung crap.
Thanks for all the help peeps.
