Hi so for starters i have looked around and tried to find a definite answer but couldn't get a real conclusive answer.
I have an atrix running NottachTrix 2.1.0 running with Ubuntop and now recently the Chroot backtrack on webtop. every thing is amazing except speed. i usually have 200-380 MB of ram and i know that other roms can boast closer to 600/800 MB. i recently replaced my digitizer and now the lack of speed is more noticeable. the touch screen is now slow to respond and kinda buggy ( i get that that's probably a hardware issue from the new digitzer) but with the slow phone it REALLY gets bogged down when i try to use basic functions.
basically i am wondering what i can do to cut out more crapware, i know i can freeze apps in titanium backup but i have no idea what's essential and what isnt. its taken a ton of work to get the webtop to work the way it does so i dont want to risk losing it with a different ROM. i can post screen grabs of anything you guys might want to see and am open to trying out. basically im wondering
1. how can i strip my atrix down to increase room/speed
2. anyone know anything about weird responsive screens ( it double presses buttons or wont pick up my touch. maybe a app can help ?)
Attached are some screen grabs so you all can see my specs and whats running

I am 90% sure it is the faulty digitizer who is slowing your phone down...
Mainly because i had the exact same issue with mine

Hey. Just wondering, does anyone else have a graphics issue in Browser or DolphinHD, where in landscape the progress bar breaks up, disappears, moves backwards, etc?
This behavior is not an issue, but an annoying glitch.
It is rom independent; I've had it will any CM6 releases I've used since July. I think I had it with CM5, but can't say for sure. Can't remember if I had it with stock Sense or not.
One thing to note, days after moved to CM from Stock, I dropped my phone, cracked the digitizer and replaced it with a 'for parts' eris off Ebay.
So to make a long story short, do ya'll see this too or do you think it has to do with dropping it or my part replacement?

I don't use dolphinHD (prefer opera mobile personaly) but decided to download it to see, and I'm having now problems with the progress bar. I'm using a CM6 rom (tazz froyo 17) and the phone has never been dropped. Seems like it could be an issue with your phone.
Thanks, I appreciate the test. That's what I was thinking too. Two dropped phones put together to make one good one leaves too many hardware variables. But its odd that the progress bar is the only thing I see a problem with.

Hello,
I just got my wife the Photon 4g for her upgrade (she came from a blackberry curve). Since purchasing just under a week ago we've noticed problems. Sometimes the touch screen will not respond to touch inputs, or it is very laggy to respond. A quick screen on/off using the power button (not a phone restart) toggle usually fixes the problem, and then its quick and snappy like you'd expect from a 1GHz dual core. It is also pretty intermittent though very frustrating for her. I've been searching around but haven't found anybody having a similar issue.
What I want to know is if this is a normal glitch and if there is a fix for it. Or, if it is something with the phone and we should replace it. I personally am getting the Epic 4G Touch on Monday, and based on its reviews, I'm tempted to just get her the same phone too.
The photon has been proving to have some other odd things going on as well. We've also been having some pretty bad battery life. I did a system restore and put on juice defender which seemed to help a lot. But, nothing has fixed the screen glitch/stutter problem.
Oh, one other thing I've noticed with the Photon, using Pandora the audio seems to stutter as well when moving between windows. I've done some searching on this and found it to be a pretty common problem. I don't understand how this phone has had so many great reviews with such obvious flaws. Seems very unpolished IMHO. My wife loved her BB, it was simple, stable, and had awesome battery life. Granted, not as fun, and no cool apps like Android. I just want her Android experience to be as good as possible.
Any input/advice?
Kinda sounds like bad hardware. After completing the startup process my Photon is never laggy, at least nothing that can't be attributed to specific apps. My battery life is easily a full day, even with regular use.
Pandora just sucks performance-wise; try another media streamer and see what happens.
I'd say hard reset, do all the OTA updates and see what that does. If not improved maybe swap it out. It should be better than that.
Try changing you vm heap higher to get rid if the stutter

Well we are going to go to the store tomorrow and see about a E4GT SGII for her tomorrow, or at the very least trade in for another Photon.
On a side note, does anybody know why they put the usb on the side which renders the kickstand unusable? Seems kinda dumb to me, if you want to use the kickstand and charge at the same time you are SOL. (sorry for the rant LOL) a bit of an oversight I think.

VM heap? How do I go about that? Are you referring to the touch screen stutter or audio stutter?
The kickstand is meant to be used both ways.

I was wondering if anyone else experience bugs after updating besides the known bugs that Verizon and HTC acknowledged. My unlock screen has been unresponsive and so has the bottoms on the bottom. Sometimes when i'm using the phone and just decides to go crazy, I have a screen protector so can the unresponsiveness be due to that? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I got the GB issues so the only thing I could think of was to Root and flash with a ROM that ran GB. I don't know how much more we can do until they release something stable and not full of bugs
The screen protector can affect the on screen buttons my wife had to remove hers due to this, but having your phone act crazy could be something else.

Which screen protector are you using? Have any issues with unresponsive screen before the update?
Not sure if this is a known bug yet but after gingerbread update the clock app doesn't show up in app list.only way to launch is is by the widget
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I'm on the GB update and haven't noticed any responsiveness issues. I'm also running a naked TB w/o a screen protector. It's hard to say if that's it -- I'd hate for you to rip it off for it to make no difference. Do you have any other apps running that might affect it?
I have to say the GB update seems really stable for me, aside from the known logging bug that is...
So...
I have been noticing that when I drag my finger side to side very slowly, the screen initially does not move and then catches up. So it looks like it's lagging a bit. Once it catches up though it's fine..
Maybe I am being a paranoid.. but the screen does not move side to side smoothly.
I am not sure if it's been doing that before I've done anything to it (root, mod, etc).
Is this normal? Any thoughts?
Try getting it to mess up after a fresh reboot and making sure as many programs as possible are *not* running.
If your phone is the I777 and you already have a kernel that allow you to overclock (entropy's) try turning the processor down low and see if it's worse and compare it to the speed turned up high.
If it's the same and definitely lagging there may be some system tweaks needed.
If it's not the I777, well I'm genuinely sorry.

My phone is the I777 and it is running entropy's kernel
I went back to the state where it had been only rooted and tried and I've experienced the same thing...
I am not sure what the problem might be...
So I guess there is a problem? and this is not supposed to lag like this?
Also, this is only when I drag it very slowly. It is barely noticeable when I do it as I would normally.
Thanks for your reply
Not sure what could be causing that. I just tried using tw launcher and couldn't seem to get mine to mess up.
Are you talking sliding left and right on your home screen or app drawer?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I may see what you're talking about. I think it's ok.
The phone has to figure out if you're pressing to select something on the screen or going to slide back and forth, thus the slight stutter from your finger going slow.
Since it's not noticeable at normal scrolling speeds you should be fine, otherwise you should be able to see it more so there.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Cool. I will try not to be so paranoid about this haha.
Thanks for your input!
Additional Question.
I may be wrong, but this may have been after I modified twlauncher with a mod.
Could this be the cause? If so, can it be fixed?
Depends. What did you do to mod it?

Here's the link to the mod

Well you asked for the right thing on that thread to revert. Each of the files that mod replaced will have to be put back.
You can wait and hope someone comes up with a cwm package to revert. Or use a program like root explorer to replace the files one by one from a stock rom.
I usually just go for flashing my entire phone when I'm looking at what you're doing. It's easy and it's quick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
oh. so that WAS the problem.
Every time I look into the phone and I notice this first. It's very annoying me
Well I have an access to stock TwLauncher.
Can I just replace the whole TwLauncher? Just copy and paste TwLauncher.apk file into the phone? I think that will be the simplest way rather than looking for what it replaced. Or I might just request a flashable twlauncher and someone might be generous enough to upload it for me..
You could always try reflashing the mod. It may correct the issue. If more people were reporting the problem it wouldn't be as likely.
Sometimes flashes don't 'stick', and nobody is really sure why.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I have reflashed the mod several times just to make sure.
It did not seem to help.
I just requested a stock TwLauncher.apk
Hopefully someone will be generous enough to help me out..
Thanks gr8hairy1 for replies and helps!
Please update if you get it fixed. I'll be busy the next couple days. When I get a chance I'll pull everything you need.
Though just flashing back to stock will save you a bit of time. But it's always good to learn new things.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
so I flashed the stock twlauncher, but still not fixed.
I am thinking of going back to stock and see if that fixes it
back to bonestock.
Still experiencing the same problem. At this point, I am not sure what the problem is..
It seems like this is only for TwLauncher. GoLauncher seems to work better.
Hey All!
My amaze is awesome except that I can't play games well on it! When trying to play games like Gta 3 or Minecraft that have virtual buttons my touch screen does funky stuff. When holding down a button to move forward my character will start to move and then stop like the touch screen has stopped registering my finger that is still holding down the button.
My question to you all is do you have issues where your screen is flakey or do I maybe just have a bad unit? I have even noticed in web browsing that the page stutters sometimes even when I'm scrolling slowly on a fully loaded page.
Same here on gta and other games... You got a screen protector?

Nope, I don't. I'm thinking its the pin in the back like a couple other people have said. I might just take it back and get a new one though. Lol. Its bad though... I can't even play any games on it that have virtual buttons! That and it won't detect more than 3 fingers on the multitouch test app I got.
Is this actually a problem on the Amaze or just a faulty device of op?
I believe it's a faulty device. Mine works with 4 touch points without a problem. Including other 2 device from my family member
Which Rom are you on? If its Fourth Sense then that ROM has a touch problems. Happened to me , I changed the Rom back again and that did the job for me.

I don't believe its a faulty device, it might be the actual rom, or some apps...when I restart my phone I run the mutitouch app and all 4 points register perfectly...after about a minute or so, the 4th point starts messing up...
sometimes, I can only get 1 touchpoint at a time to register properly....I'm on stock rooted rom.
I'm going to nandroid my phone and put stock nonrooted and stock rooted on my phone, to find out if it fixes the problem and if the roms make a difference. If not, then I would blame some of the apps. I've heard some roms such as beast rom work very well with touchpoints, so i'm guessing it has something to do with the stock rom itself.
right now I'm on stock kernel, but I was on faux, I'm going to also try to see if kernels make a difference:
This won't be over night, I will need time to do all this, I don't have time to mess with my phone when i need it.
update:
other people with roms and problems: it seems to be the rooted stock does not work well with touchpoints,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430210&highlight=gta
so far beastmod and android revolution hd are roms that have been reporting to work well with touchpoints if you want root.
Or.... Buy a phone for gaming....lol
Wasnt the main selling point of this phone the camera?
There is no doubt my old g2x blows away the amaze for games and video....
But I knew that buying this phone.
Even the best game eVAHr , atomic bomber, doesn't respond well on this phone. I mention this because AB is a pretty basic game.
