seeder is an apps that is focused on reducing the lag that sometimes occur while opening apps and switching to home screen.
I tried this on my phone and it does have an effect. I tried this on CM6. it is said this apps works better in pre-ICS devices.
here is a review of the apps by Lifehacker,

This app was good until v 2.0,it started eating battery up a lot.Then I found crossbreader,which for me is a touch better.

I'm using the light profile, which as the dev says cause minimum battery drain. and I still haven't experience any considerable impact on battery life. I guess it's fair enough to sacrifice some juice to get more performance. I think you'll agree.
also strangely enough, I get better performance from the light profile than the aggressive ones.
thanks for the info on crossbreeder, would keep an eye on it.
Agreed, i also have it integrated in my aokp rom.Just a few terminal commands activate seeder.

yes, I have used your ROM, actually it was the only ICS rom that I've used for more than a week.
but when I found CM6, I just couldn't leave it because of it's speed.
anyway, thank you again for that wonderful rom.

yep, an app offers customization whereas a flashable zip is something like plug-and-play.
but if there is no need for any customization, I think a zip would just do the Job fine.
but it's always great to have freedom for customization. which is why I love Android

Just installed the app. Which profile is recommendable and what does it mean to extend the I/O queue?

It depends, I guess on which rom you use, and other stuff, but if you want better performance over battery life then aggressive profile will do, but if you are more into saving juice then light profile will be useful.
Just play around with the phone with different profiles and see which one is best for you.
IO Queue, My guess; the events that must be handled by the processer are queued before they are actually processed, IO schedulers decide the order which they are sent into the processor. So I guess by extending the IO queue it makes Sheduler decisions more better.
This is as to my own knowledge.
Correct me if I'm wrong '
P.S. - I'm currently not using Extend IO queue option.

I also tested the different profiles and whilst moderate and aggressive caused several errors such as the clock.apk randomly opening, the light profile gives the smoothest experience and does not cause any other issues.

Nope, you can't use it along with Seeder. Crossbreeder is designed to stop other similar apps like Seeder. So it's seeder or Crossbreeder.
I personally think Crossbreeder is a little better than Seeder.

Ok, I had some impromptu questions.
At first look the ROM looks great. I'm not concerned about the battery life, just the performance. Could anyone post their neocore fps and advanced quadrant scores? [just as a reference]
Also, does this ROM/kernel combo solve the CPU drain problem caused due to our touchscreen? Basically can one play HD Games on it sans any lag?
And, for which kernels is this ROM intergrated?
Thanks.
Its based on. 32 kernel ..neocore as per a user's report in dev forum is 62fps(with sound) and quadrant advanced is sumwhere around 15xx..
I do not know about the CPU drain but battery is good and touch responsiveness is really good..its really fast..
I played nfs shift without anylag

Best result on Android 4.+
Description
Hey everyone,
So, I was experiencing significant lag as we all do from time to time, and decided I was going to get to the bottom of it.
After tracing and debugging for hours, I discovered the source of 90% of Android's lag. In a word, entropy (or lack thereof).
Google's JVM, like Sun's, reads from /dev/random. For all random data. Yes, the /dev/random that uses a very limited entropy pool.
Random data is used for all kinds of stuff.. UUID generation, session keys, SSL.. when we run out of entropy, the process blocks. That manifests itself as lag. The process cannot continue until the kernel generates more high quality random data.
So, I cross-compiled rngd, and used it to feed /dev/urandom into /dev/random at 1 second intervals.
Result? I have never used an Android device this fast.
It is literally five times faster in many cases. Chrome, maps, and other heavy applications load in about 1/2 a second, and map tiles populate as fast as I can scroll. Task switching is instantaneous. You know how sometimes when you hit the home button, it takes 5-10 seconds for the home screen to repopulate? Yeah. Blocking on read of /dev/random. Problem solved. But don't take my word for it .. give it a shot!
Update!
I've built a very simple Android app that bundles the binary, and starts/stops the service (on boot if selected). I'll be adding more instrumentation, but for now, give it a shot! This APK does not modify /system in any way, so should be perfectly safe.
This is my first userspace Android app, so bear with me!
Note that this APK is actually compatible with all Android versions, and all (armel) devices. It's not at all specific to the Captivate Glide.

Well yeah lol, but this isn't just another build.prop entry but a full-blown hack. As the OP states, it technically lowers security and other randomized accuracy in favor of performance.

Here's the thread for Trinity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083885
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
While that ROM gets ok battery life, it isnt the best there is. Smaller ROMs with less features tend to get more battery as they dont try and do so much stuff. But still, I dont see a problem with AOKP PUB, it still is ok enough on battery. The kernel has a lot to do with battery since it controls your CPU speed, scheduler (which some use more or less CPU), and GPU, as well as voltages. So the right kernel combo can give much better or worse battery life.
Alright so i booted into recovery mode and installed the trinity kernel. Now once i cleared cache/dalvik and fixed permissions, i have booted up and in settings it still says the kernel is: 3.4.5-g3e87446-dirty. Its the same as before, did i do something wrong?
Its possible the ROM you are on has Trinity installed by default, or the kernel didnt install right. Also you dont need to fix permissions.
I'd try and reflash the kernel again, and post back if it doesn't work.

What does that app do specifically?
Allows you to tweak all kernel related settings
All i really need is better battery life lol
Then use enigma1987 settings as a base for further optimization. Read the forum to get the knowledge about the different options that the Tweaker app offers and adjust them on your own taste. I am getting an average of 8h+ screen on time with good performance
Well when the next KTManta kernel version comes out I will be putting out a new version of the "Butterlicious" settings as there are major changes to the kernel. In addition I will also post a pre-made settings file designed entirely around best battery life. Talha746, can you please list out the things you do most on your tablet? And any games you play regularly?
I basically watch videos and play emulators and surf the web. But as of installing this kernel, i cant even play a single video file! It keeps crashing and turning off my device, any ideas?
UPDATED : 5th October 2013
Welcome to the Viper's thread on performance and battery life !
On topic : As you all know, no matter what ROM you use, no matter what the kernel is, you always seem to find a compromise for performance over battery life. If you are a guy that roams around with the charger after every 4-5 hours, and expect both performance as well as battery life, THIS THREAD IS FOR YOU !!
We'll start with the most basic settings for this and then go through under clocking etc. Let's get started !
Basic settings to have better battery life & performance :
Under the settings menu, do the followings :
1) Accounts & sync - untick background data and auto-sync.
2) Privacy - untick backup & restore.
3) Location & security - untick all.
4) Sound- Disable haptic feedback.
5) Display - Set low screen brightness, select no window animations, disable auto-rotation if you don't use landscape mode much/at all .
6) Applications- Development--> Untick usb debugging & untick allow mock locations.
7) Mobile networks : Tick use 2G only if you don't want to lose battery soon while browsing.
Some recommendations :
1) Do not use task killers frequently. Kill the tasks once. If not much memory is revived, reboot your device. I recommend rebooting your device atleast twice a day for lag free, better performance .
2) Once your battery gets as low as 15 to 20%, charge for 3 hours without a break.
3) Many roms come with applications that you never use. Either delete them using a root explorer if you never use them or just go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications ---> select the app you don't use --> force stop, in case you want to use those apps in the future .
4) Find the lighter alternatives for the heavy apps you use. For example, facebook touch over facebook for android.
5) If you're on cm7, under the cyanogenmod settings--> performance --> Enable 16 bit transparency, untick surface dithering, enable purging of assets, set zram compression to 26% under memory management for increased virtual capacity ( These options are available on CM10.1 too ) .
6) If you're on cm10.1, under the developer options, reduce window scale animations to zero, limit background processes as per your need to have a better battery life and more free RAM.
Thanks to brewy for making me assimilate the vitality of force stopping an unused app
7) Do not theme your launcher heavily. Use only those widgets that are needed. Heavy theming consumes more RAM, consequently, low battery.
Scripts that can be used:
1) Adrenaline engine : Included in most of the ROMs
Thread link : Here
Thanks to Imbawind .
2) Full GPU rendering : To reduce the CPU load & force the phone to use GPU for enhanced graphics. Thanks slaid
Thread link : Here
=-Or-=
If you are on cm10.1, under the developer options, you can enable the gpu rendering without the need of any script.
3) Adrenaline boost : It is a great script if you want just that hint of a boost for gaming.
Thread link : Here
Thanks to Imbawind again
4) Battery bar mod script : You have to draw your own results after flashing the script.
Thread link : Here
Thanks to : tazlooney89
5) Project silk : Another nice script for your overall performance & battery starvation.
Thread link : Here
Thanks to : Pulsedroid
6) Fly on mod : Another script mostly similar to the adrenaline engine.
Thread link : Here
Thanks to : slaid480
7) Pure Performances X : Recommended & works like a charm on all android versions !
Thread link : Here
Thanks to : Jeeko
8) Cross Breeder: This is another awesome performance enhancer & this script works on all the devices. It comes with a built in entropy generator like the fly on mod & the pure performances x. It also supports ad blocking to get rid of those annoying pop-ups on your shiny phone. You can update these host files periodically using the adaway app, check out the OP of the tweak to know more. Many more features this script offers, just visit the development thread to know more.
Note: Do not use seeder with this mod. You can only use it to monitor the entropy available. For more details on this, check the OP of the tweak.
Thread link: Here
Thanks to: idcrisis
NOTE : Enable USB debugging mode in the development settings before flashing any of the scripts. Fly on mod & pure performances x come with integrated entropy generator so no need to install Seeder over them. Check out the op of fly on mod to know how to enable/disable the entropy generator manually using terminal emulator. On pure performances x, the entropy generator is enabled by default.
Under clocking :
Under clocking limits the frequency of your phone and allows you to choose between different governors and I/O schedulers. This results in better battery life. But if you don't want to underclock the whole thing and prefer performance with screen on and battery life with screen off ( i.e., on stand by ), go through this thread by my dear friend SuperAce609 :
Thanks to him
Thread link : Here
You can use set CPU for root users or similar apps to set the profiles of your choice.
Apps :
Seeder : I use the Seeder entropy app for lag reduction ( moderate mode ) with all the options checked in ( ticked/opted or whatever you call it ) .
I think the app is free for XDA users.
Tweaks app on stock : This app is mostly included in all the stock based roms. It encloses several tweaks with darktremor a2sd support. Open this app, grant su permissions, tick everything except media straightfright & Darktremor a2sd. Hit apply & reboot.
All these steps and settings have been tested by myself on a cm7 ROM with fire kernel for nearly a week and I can definitely say, my battery that once lasted for just a matter of hours with much of the time on standby, now lasts easily over a day for moderate use . For browsing on edge, it lasts for about 2 hours. I just lost just 7% of battery after listening to over 1.5 hours of non stop music ! Btw, my phone and battery are nearly 2 years old ! Hope this helps you all ! It took nearly an hour for me to write this thread up ! So don't forget to leave a thanks behind .

Well, there aren't much options you know. All the under clocking etc., stuffs were mentioned in almost all the threads. But no one had mentioned about the most basic settings that considerably help even an unrooted / non-rooted user. I just integrated all the stuffs posted earlier with some of mine to make it a complete guide, so that newbies can find everything at a place.

Well, there aren't much options you know. All the under clocking etc., stuffs were mentioned in almost all the threads. But no one had mentioned about the most basic settings that considerably help even an unrooted / non-rooted user. I just integrated all the stuffs posted earlier with some of mine to make it a complete guide, so that newbies can find everything at a place.

Edit : I misunderstood your first post itself. I thought you were saying, that this thread had nothing new in it. Instead, you were saying, that you saw something new in these types of threads today. That's why I posted like I did Now I understand why my teachers spoke of the importance of punctuations in English in my school days

Various Gingerbread ROMs reviewed​
Hi Friends, this thread is aimed at all the newbies who want to know which ROM to use and the specialty of each ROM. I myself have tried all the ROMs mentioned here but many people find it difficult to find the perfect ROM for themselves from this vast ocean of ROMs available. Please note this list does not contain names of all the ROMS available. It contains only the ones tried by me. So please go through this thread, you might find it useful. Further, the comments below are based on my own experience. The reviews are not intended to make fun, complain or demotivate anyone. Just a frank opinion from me for further development.
Scoring System
Scores are given on the following basis:
2 points for Internal memory
2 points for Theme and Look
1 point for performance
Please do not be shocked to see the less weight given to performance as almost all ROMs here are high on performance with more or less same performances. Further these scores are as per my liking and not as per user comments. Also DO NOT blindly follow the score. You may have a different view from mine.
Stock Based ROMs:
SGS III v12 by Spacecaker
Well, this Rom is not actually new, It recieved an update a few days back and hence I come to edit the review. No change in performance as compared to previous version (+0.5), minor changes in UI, bringing in a smoother feel and some resized images (+1.5). A very good Rom most people would swear by it. For internal memory one can expect 125MB (approx) (+1.0). One of the best in terms of battery life (my useage is heavy, 3hrs of wi-fi browsing and 2hrs talk on 2G. The battery lasts for 1 day 10 hrs. Performance is good but nothing to write home about. Also after installing few apps and a few days use the ROM showed some lags. My score (3/5). Otherwise a very good ROM for daily use.
S'Periance Final by Ver3go
Now this is one of the most popular ROMs out there. Smooth, fast, light weight & barebones. All what anybody would want out of a ROM (+1) for performance and (+1) for look as it is simple holo. Internal memory around 130MB (+1.0). Avg RAM consumption is awesome. But the ROM lags a bit behind in terms of battery life as compared to other ROMs tried by me. Again in terms of Battery Life every user has a different experience.Score(3/5). For more info, visit the development thread.
StockRom Evolution by G.Galante
Now this is the ROM which I cannot do without. Awesome speed,superb performance, light weight, modded UI, 14 toggles and a lot more(+ 0.75). The theme is basic but a bit more appealing than stock (+0.5). The internal memory you can get is around 130MB (+1.0). Battery life is similar to the ROM by Spacecaker and average RAM consumption is also very less but a bit higher than StockLite though. Yes this also gets a bit laggy after installing few apps but the best part is that apps dont take time at all to launch. My Score (2.25/5).
StockLite V8 by tj_droid
A ROM which once created a rage amongst users. This ROM is very light, stable and fast ROM. The final version of this ROM has been released and it won't get any more updates. Using this ROM for few days, found battery life great. Gives me 1d 10 hrs useage. Performance is also superb, absolutely no lags and no force closes (+1). However the look is completely stock (+0.25). The apps too open up quickly.Also got a lot of internal Memory free (121MB) which is not the highest I'm getting among the Roms mentioned here (+1). It is the fastest booting ROM as I noticed, but again the major minus point I found was with the toggles mod. But still a good ROM for daily use.This is my Score (2.25/5).
M'Rage by MatZ69
Ok, just flashed this ROM. It is highly themed and very fresh to look at. The best part it such highly themed ROMs are generally CM7 based but this ROM offers the stability of stock ROM (+2). The UI is refreshing & attractive. Although the RAM useage is a bit high, without installing any apps the useage was 170MB. After clearing RAM the usage goes down to 111mb which is again a bit high. Internal storage is awesome as you get 147MB for yourself (+2). Tested the ROM the whole day and I guess I don't need to wait more to draw a conclusion. The performance is a bit on the low side as it gets slow n laggy after installing a few apps and heavy use (+0). But given the UI and the modification options it can be a very good ROM for people who only need the phone to call and message with light useage. Score (4/5).
Touchwiz UX 5.0 by Nathan
Flashed this Rom for a second go, found it a bit incomplete in the first attempt, maybe was not flashed properly. Well, the Rom is Nicely themed to match the Name given to it. The launcher is of the modified Holo launcher variety and is smooth with a lot of transition and customization options(+1.5). There is also the Accuweather widget. However, during initial usage performed well, giving an Internal memory of 113MB, which I found to be the lowest among all Rom's mentioned here(+0.5). The Rom is pretty smooth until some actually heavy apps are thrown in. After installing 20 apps(all moved to ext partition), the Rom showed BIG LAGS and all the excitement of the first use was drowned(+0.5). Battery life is again what one can expect out of BE Kernel (1d some hrs on average useage). However, people wanting a fresh S4 look may give this ROM a go but remember not to stuff it up with apps. Thus this ROM scores (3/5).
JellyBean Revolution Light V3 by Kranti
A nice stock Rom hiding there. The ROM gave me an internal memory of 141 mb on first install which was very good and second only to M'Rage Rom(+1.5). The ROM is Xperia themed and is very good as the Xperia launcher provides a lot of customization options(+1). Performance wise it is quite good apart from occasional lag while opening big apps. However no lag on Launcher(+1). Battery wise same as any other stock ROM with BE kernel. However the modem drivers were a bit annoying. Wi-Fi shows error sometimes and bluetooth headset was not being able to connect. But this can be sorted out by changing the modem drivers. On the whole, a good package. I give a total of (3.5/5) for this ROM.
CM7 based ROMs:
The Ultimatum by The 'A' Factor
Now this is the most stable CM7 based ROM I found. It contains many features. The ROM has just recieved its final update. Aroma Installer helps customization and choose the features users want. The themeing options are too good, like no other (+2). The performance (specially gaming) is awesome (+1). Internal memory is aroung 130MB (+1.5). Battery life is one of the best in CM7. Ideal ROM for gaming also. My score (4.5/5). Well the update has brought about changes only in terms of performance. Many claim that it's better but as per me the changes were minimum. Further a slight LAG was noticed in scrolling the App Drawer in some cases in V3. These lags were not there in V2.9. You may see the 3rd page of this thread for my review.
Miracle v4 by Itasoulas
This ROM is a bit old and most of the newer ROMs use this ROM as their base. Users looking for the latest work by the dev can try the Apocalypse ROM by Itasoulas. Good in battery life and highly customizable, this ROM is a delight to use. It comes with a transparent theme & blue lockscreen shortcuts/keys made by team carbon that make the looks appealing. Sorry no score being alloted as this is a ROM which is respected and used by many devs as a base. But still a very fast & clean compilation, great for daily use.
MIUI v6 by Gabreek
This ROM has a really good feel about itself, a very nice attempt to get the MIUI look (+1.5). Call screens are themed, settings and almost everything is themed to look like MIUI. Apart from the visual elements I could not find any thing worth a special mention here. Although the OP claims of no lags, the settings page is still very laggy and also when receiving a call the screen takes 5 secs to show up (+0). Apart from these no other major issue was found. I may suggest it to those who just want to go for MiUi. Internal around 120MB (+1). Good in battery life and highly customizeable also. Total score
Monster X4.2 by HardSol7
This ROM is quite similar to The Ultimatum ROM in terms of performance but boasts a higher benchmark and is actually a bit fast and zippy at some places (+1). This wont allow any user to complain about performance but yes, many would not like the Transparent background of settings, notifications and dialer which makes it really hard at times to read (+1). Further as mentioned by the OP the ROM has live wallpaper support, which most CM7 Roms lack including the Ultimatum ROM. Also I would like to point out that the Launcher provided here is Launcher Pro (Which I feel provides less options than Holo Launcher) which can always be changed. Lastly internal memory is again around 130MB (+1). Score (3/5).
Nitrogen "The Resurrection"
This is the ROM most users love for its Fresh look. Everything is themed from top to bottom, the call-screen, icons, status bar and everything. It's got a very fresh look and gives you an option to choose from Smart Launcher and SS Launcher this forces me to give a (+2). Coming to the performance the scripts used in this ROM are similar to The Ultimatum but performance is a note better (at least with the Smart Launcher). Gaming, multi-tasking and everything about the performance is good so a (+1) there. Coming to the internal memory, the ROM relies on memory mod kernel by PSN so no comments there. But one thing worth a mention is that being LOADED with performance scripts, the Battery Life is actually a bit better than most CM7 ROMs. Well, actually the ROM relies on wi-fi sleep and other sleep policies to achieve the battery life. So all and all I give the ROM a (3/3) (Cannot score the internal memory part so ignored).
Revolution Ultimate V2 by KrantTi
Quite old a ROM to begin with but hold, this ROM is superbly smooth and light. The first thing one would notice is the theming. The theming takes help from Theme chooser of Cm7 ROMs but let me tell you that the theming is awesome. You get the choice to select Xperia S or Xperia Arc theme and both are an eye candy. So a (+2) for theme and look. Coming to the internal memory the baby offers 125MB of internal memory which is again Not bad at all. So a (+1.0) for that. Last but not the least, the performance of this ROM is good. Smooth UI, smooth transitions and a light weight launcher. Battery life was also on the average side. So a (+0.75). Total Score stands at (3.75/5).
CM7 Apo-K-lypse ROM
This is a nice ROM. Uses apocalypse as the base. Despite being loaded with what I'd call bloatware (adfree, youtube downloader, etc.), the ROM still manages to blow off the benchmark score. It is great performance wise so I give it a (+1). Themeing, it uses what looks like a modded theme of the reincarnation ROM with a flaming android in the status bar. But the theme ain't the most pleasing of what I've seen so a (+1.5) for it. Internal storage is something that depends on your partition size (the ROM uses cronmod script). There's also a non sd-ext version of it so you can try it to have a non-expanded storage. I give a (+1) for storage. As a whole, the ROM gets a score of (3.5/5).
Reincarnation ROM v3
I simply love the theme of this ROM. So a straight (+2) for the themeing. Performance is descent but not great relatively. I give a (+0.8) for performance. Storage space available is spacy enough for me, so a (+1) for that. This ROM scores (3.8/5).

CM7 Ace ROM
The only reason this ROM hasn't created a hype it should have created is the lack of users on the ace forums these days. Everyone's bidding farewell to our dear ace & buying new phones these days. Can't help it. I give a (+1) for this ROM straight away for its classy performance. The performance is simply awesome as that of the apocalypse ROM. Integrated with the aroma installer, you get to choose your favourite launcher & theme off the 3 choices available. So a clean (+1.25) for the focus enhanced on themeing. Storage again has an option in the aroma installer with a choice between cronmod script & a no script unexpanded clean internal memory. I give a (+1.75) for this innovation & user friendly approach. The only thing I didn't like was, the language used in the aroma installer. It was may be Spanish, which not really everyone knows & speaks. So this ROM gets a score of (4/5) from my side !​
Good work there. Please keep this thread updated. You can also score roms on basis of performance, features, stability and battery life.
Would help a lot to answer ppl who ask questions about choosing the right rom.
Wish this was a sticky.

This Version is a bit old as compared to the ROMs i tried. Will wait for the latest ROM to be fixed and then will review it.
Despite being old and have no updates, the LastMyth rom by themythteam, is still the more flawless that I used :highfivedespite the white in status bar)

even if roms are old they can be good
as stock roms are always pretty stable they have a longer life
as for ace development on new roms are reducing because almost everything has already been done so there are like almost no new ideas anymore

I agree mate. There are so many good and stable ROMs out there like BALD EAGLE, BLACKHAWK, XPERIATIZD which is again your work, ADRENALINE older version, etc.
But Not possible to review each and every ROM. Further I only am trying ROMs which are considerably new as they incorporate or are based on older ROMs.
Am currently waiting release of Adrenaline Final and M'Rage. Both r good waiting to review them.

Actually I prefer to try only Stock Based Roms as i am a heavy user and thus need a good battery life to last me for a day. Hence i use BE 1.2 which unfortunately does not work with CM Roms i guess.
