Looking for advice here. I have no idea if this is hardware, software, something I'm doing wrong. I'd say the past year of having my note, it's painfully laggy. I've tried most of the more popular roms that are released. It's not always horribly slow.. but just about any time I switch to any new app, it becomes temporarily unresponsive. I've just come to terms with this thinking it is what it is.
I'm currently running the first cm 4.3 nightly, with the Uber kernel, running Jamie's settings. I've never been too into modding kernel stuff, so I don't know if I should look there first. but yeah.. any help would be appreciated. Just sick of the inconsistent speed
thanks!

Since you said this was with all roms you flashed, I'm going to guess something you're doing.
This is usually due to not properly formatting data and system areas before flashing, and also improperly restoring apps after flashing.
Install Black Star X or an ICS based ROM. If it's laggy, it's your phone. If it's not, it's because you've been trying jelly bean ROMs.

What is your flashing procedure? do you do the proper wipes... wait a bit after install before touching or changing much, rebooting like 4 times at least to let it settle in?
What clock speed / governor are you running?
undervolted?
SD boosting cache write amount, if any?

Ok.. I'll try to give my best answers.
Using TWRP, i'll go to wipe>system, then factory reset (data/cache).
Then flash the rom, then gapps if necessary.
Settle? Eh, I usually try to let it. I've also heard from the Devs there's no actual reason to do this, it's just to stop people from complaining the first 10 minutes of using the rom.
As for the other stuff... I've never really messed with it. After flashing the UBer kernel I tried to follow some settings I saw jamie recommend.. ondemand governer. That's really it.
Do I need to get more into tweaking frequency profiles, voltage, etc? different governors?
And btw.. yes, these are all JB roms. I refuse to use ICS.

Storage saturation is far more important than any of the factors we've spoken about.
Just answer this one question. Have you ever moved an app to your SD Card?

I went to apps>sd card in settings. It appears my user downloaded apps are all on my SD card. I'm guessing thats a problem. How would I change that? That's nothing I ever did, that's a default.
edit: nvm. I misinterpreted that screen. XDA app was the only one that was checked off for on sd card. They're all on my phone.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.
I meant moving your apps to your external SD Card when the internal storage (the 2gb /data partition) got full.
Moving as few as little as a single app to your external SD card can dramatically slow down android (for some reason). Nonetheless, a full partition elsewhere can still effect performance significantly.
Download "Storage Analyzer" from the Play Store, and see if any of your partitions are particularly full.
I try to keep 300mb or more free on all of them.
Additionally, you can wipe cache & dalvik.

1. if you have been around at all, then you would know many wipe as many as 3 times.
2. I don't know what dev's told you there is no reason.........there is and it not to stop people from complaining. that sounds pretty selfish to me and the folk who develop here are far from that. I am not sure of he actual terminology, but the data basically needs to work its way through the system. your phone needs to read all this new system it is supposed to run.
some developers will even flash rom, then flash rom again with gapps. let it boot and settle the 10. then boot it again. set it up and then boot yet again and wiping davlik and cache every flash.
3. many developers ill also suggest you give rom a day or so with stock kernel. if you make so many changes so fast how do you know what working or whats not?
but hey if that's all to much trouble for you, to have a phone run the way you are expecting it to....... congratulations. your phone is perfect.
I apologize if this sounds harsh, it just sounds like you expect your phone to run flawlessly, but you don't want to exhaust what minimal efforts are needed to get it that way.
good luck my friend

Playing with JB roms you have to keep in mind that the radio you are on, and corresponding certs/ril/PRL .. etc, will most likely not be made for that rom and have your radio switching back n forth, left, right, n all around looking for a signal because it isnt configured right... that being said, your kernel is an integral part of the whole package and should also be flashed properly (wipe CACHE/DALVIK) at least once.. 3-4 times is proper. Go into settings, select remove method of -rm .. and repeat the wipes. Then flash kernel on top of an already settled rom ... or sometimes you flash the kernel before you even boot into the rom (my preference when possible). FIX PERMISSIONS . . always. Then sometimes do a Cache/Dalvik wipe AGaIN after the flash , especially if instructed. Same goes for flashing radios.
When flashing a ROM .. you gotta wipe everything except the external SD (Assuming you didnt move apps/data) there... remove android secure with a wipe, system wiped, boot, dalvik, cache, system, factory reset, internal SD, wipe wipe wipe wipe. If you have ever looked at the partitions after only one wipe you will know why all the fuss.
Assuming you flashed PERFECT, no dirty overlapping/conflicting stuff going on, and the rom has executed its post install scripts without being messed with, reboots done a few times to break it in.. the kernel you flash will have to be configured to the hardwares capabilities. Not all can be undervolted and or overclocked the same. . SD boost cache size is almost a must 1024 - 2048 or whatever are adequate .. might wanna do a benchmark in ROM Manager to see where your SD sees the best performance. Also, the IO scheduler type (sio, noop, cfq, vr, etc)
On demand is a good balanced governor but its only one in many variables... SD Swap.. dalvik vm heap sizes, JIT
pretty sure you know how to get into dev mode with those roms.. enable debugging .. if not, just go to phone info and hit the build a buncha times . .
memory and task management is another thing.. how many things you got loading at startup .. what is managing memory to close unwanted processes etc. .
Android Tune + ROM Manager should take care of that.. .
I've found the latest beanstalk rom with the latest uberkernel 4.3 and the Blaze modem isn't laggy but I have a new factory-refurbished phone. I have not moved any of the apps to the SDcard. But then again I don't have any games on the phone and I just came from an old Galaxy S 4g so I may not have any idea of what lag is. I noticed that some of the 4.3 roms, the Pac-Man nightlies, for instance, seemed slow enough so that I immediately flashed back to Beanstalk.
this may be another question, but I've noticed that the IO scores -- file system writes and database reads -- come out a bit slow on quadrant. On my previous phone, there was a script that sped that up, but I don't know what the equivalent would be for this phone and jelly bean.

Hey,
I've been using Galnet MIUI for quite some time and have had no issues except for late. Whenever the USB cable is plugged in and i choose mount USB (did it with only internal sd-card, and also with internal/external sd-cards) the phone decides to hang.
Now i'm unsure if its a full hang as holding the power button down a bit makes the phone vibrate (and i assume bring up the power menu had it not "frozen") aswell as the screen dimming after a while.
I've tried a different kernel to no avail as well as formatting both sd-cards then fixing permissions.
Has anyone else had this sort of screen-unresponsiveness?
Cheers
I've been using Galnet Miui for a while & haven't had that problem. You might wanna ask that question over @ the Galnet forums given GM is pretty much a dirty word on XDA (don't ask )

i agree
Did you change the lower cpu freq value?
Which governor do you use? Try to use ondemand or interactive for instance.
Sometimes low cpu freqs can mess up the system behavior ending up hanging.
Good luck!
hello,
once I had this problem too and solved it by reflashing the rom
(with all "cleans" like wipe cache, dalvik..)
good luck to you !
ahah MistahBungle i will not ask then i did post a thread on their forums but didnt get much of a reply so figured i'd ask here.
@asfpf i havent touched any of that, im using stock settings lols
@mijol cheers, ill give it a go. dunno if it fixed anything last time however
Mijol's suggestion to reflash the rom without a wipe might just work/is a good suggestion. One GM build I flashed I couldn't mount the external SD card over USB, a reflash/no wipe fixed the problem.
Hi all,
Im not a noob around here I have been lurking for a few years since I had my HTC hero and have been flashing my S2 for about 5 months now, very impressed with the amount of development here ...
I understand most things about flashing etc but am still unclear and have found it hard to find answers for the following:
I have Resurrection Remix 2.2 + siyah 3.3.2 + dualbooted with omega v15 4.0.3
1. Am I better off changing CPU frequencies/governers/voltages with the built in "performance" on Ressurection Remix or using the Siyah eXTweaks app
2. If I apply some settings in the extweaks app, such as an undervolt/BLN... will these settings apply to my second rom? + also, If I change settings on main rom, then load second rom, then go back to main rom will the settings still be changed on the main rom or do they get wiped.
3. I have one of those stupid small mini bluetooth keyboards which are about the same size as the phone and are under £10 on ebay... I also have a bluetooth mouse.. The bluetooth mouse works fine and stays connected for as long as I want, however does anybody know why the connection to the keyboard constantly times out after a few minutes? Very frustrating as I bought it to use with MHL adapter and have trouble reconnecting after its lost connection... I bought it because it was cheap and I dont have a lot of money to spend on that kind of thing, but if anybody has any other cheap alternatives can you post link.
4. A lot of the time recently, my phone crashes when watching a vide with MX player or playing a game... it just hangs.. dont know why, ive had RR running stable for over a week now with no tweaks applied and its still happening...
5. i have 4 copies of every folder showing up on memory card not enough space to copy data to laptop and format... any advice?
6. Advice needed on whats the best undervolt settings for me,I see multiple threads for Siyah _ extweaks but every time I mess about with that I end up breaking my rom and changing it... but when it has worked the battery life is great!
Apreciate anyone who helps or has any advice to offer, I will give thanks to you all.

1 make sure that they both are on the same settings.
2 I'm pretty sure it will only affect the rom you're on. Not both. Might want to check the dual boot thread though
3 try to forget the device and reconnect it/reboot then try to reconnect it
4 did you do a full wipe when you installed it?
5 I'm pretty sure there is a fix in rr FAQ on the op
6 not every device can handle being oc / uv.. If you break the rom on the setting increase it by 25/50 until you get it stable
Hope I could help

well the only little more advice given may be never under volt or over clock ur beast (GS2) since it never likes the same, they r only done on some specfic issues so keep the default settings
also the duplicate file issues its no more with 2.2 if u fallowed the extended installation steps in the FAQ properly

Do you mean it never works the same? I see, it's never been stable for me... however the extra battery life vs. risk of having to reinstall rom is a hard choice.. maybe if keep even more regular backups it may help if things go wrong..
And I have reinstalled 2.2 properly following the extended which I always do. Still have 4 copies of every file folder, and it's showing up the same in windows as well now. But i dont think it's taking up 4x the space...
Is there an easy way to fix this or am I going to have to reformat memorycard? is that best done on the phone or on windows?

ver2.3 is going to be released today install the same with a full wipe and ur issues of duplicate file gets resolved
Hello all.
As the title says, I've been having random reboot sessions on my phone lately. When these reboot sessions occur, the battery gets hot.
I'd like to give some more information about my situation:
I've been using CM7.2 on my Huawei u8160 for almost half a year now, without any kind of problems. Lately, the phone started rebooting randomly, especially during phone calls, making the phone almost useless. The reboots also occur when the phone is idle. These reboots drain the battery extremely fast.
I've been using CM7 with the V6 supercharger, as I said, for months without problem. When these reboots started happening, I reflashed the rom, doing a full wipe (clear cache, clear dalvik, format system, format data, factory reset etc.) , but that didn't solve the problem. I reflashed CM7 several times, with / without V6 supercharger, without deleting those system apps that are safe to remove (live wallpapers, update notify etc.). I also reflashed the stock froyo rom the device came with. None of these methods worked.
It is getting more and more frustrating, since they occur randomly, and I can't make a proper phone call, since it's almost guaranteed the phone will reboot during the conversation.
I tried formatting the SD card, using another SD card, resetting the battery stats, using a program on the market and the CMW Recovery - nothing helped.
Another thing I noticed (this may sound very stupid) is that the phone reboots more often when I'm outside (it's winter here now), or when I enter in a warmer place, or when the phone is in my pocket.
I asked an assistant from a nearby Vodafone store, she said that it is a software problem ( -.- ) and that the phone needs to be sent for service. I told her I've already reflashed the software, and she said I only did an update not a full soft flash (lol).
I would really appreciate if anyone could give some suggestions, or help me in any way.
I have also created an error report using the device specific setting menu included in the CM7 rom, which I am attaching here.
Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yeah, going to the store after flashing a custom ROM is rarely going to yield favorable results. Honestly, I'd try clearing app data and fixing permissions. What recovery are you using? When in doubt, wipe twice.

Yeah, I know that rooting void varranty and everything but the naive me thought maybe they can say something clever...
I tried clearing everything, formatting system, data, cache, everything, fixing permissions etc.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.x.
I am planning to buy a new battery because I observed it's getting really hot sometimes, and after the reboots occur, it's also really hot.

The more time you devote to this the more you'll realize that most of the folks at the stores dont know much. It wont hurt to buy a new battery. Wipe the battery stats. Do you use a custom kernel? Ovetclocked? Underclocked? Played with the voltage tables?

Yeah, you're right...
I did wipe the battery stats, let it drain completely and did a full recharge. For the kernel, I don't really know much about these stuff (yet). This is the ROM I use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259739. Im my phone info menu it says 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #23 (no idea what this means) so I don't know if it's a custom kernel or a stock one. For clock values I use min: 30MHz max: 600MHz (which is the stock value if I'm not wrong). I don't know what you mean by voltage tables, I'd appreciate if you could explain that.
Thanks so far.
Well basically in a nutshell, voltage is the power sent to the CPU. Some custom kernels allow for what's called undervolting. Basically you're you're lowering the amount of power sent to the CPU, where in theory you'll achieve better battery life. However, this can be very dicey. I would not recommend playing with voltage tables until you're a bit more experienced. I asked because undervolting can lead to boot loops and seemingly random reboots. You're running a solid rom with cm7. If you didn't touch it, then that's the stock cm rom. Have you searched the forum thread?

Yes, I haven't touched anything in the ROM I'm using currently.
I've been searching the forums for days before starting this thread, without success.
What I noticed about the reboots is that it occurs almost exclusively when making / receiving a phone call and when the phone is idle.
*edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using Segoe font, not sure if that makes a difference though. I have replaced almost every font in the /system/fonts folder (droid sans+bold+mono and even droid serif+bold+italic+bolditalic)*
I flash a lot. I also have noticed my CM10.1 running like total crap lately. I also went back to Sense about a week ago but came back to CM.
I have done this once before and had great success, and just did it again today and my phone is running super smooth.
1) Back up anything you care about (pics, music, docs, titanium backups, etc)
2) boot into recovery
3) FORMAT EVERYTHING.
4) Copy ROM to storage (might have to mount it)
5) Flash
I did not restore everything from TiBU, but installed most of my apps from the Play Store. I decided to install things as I needed them because I realized I don't use probably half of the apps I have backed up. I did about 20 apps from TiBU (no data).
Copy stuff back to your phone that you want to have on it...for me it was just pics and a few eBooks.
I know a factory reset and a flash would normally do the trick, but I think perhaps something got screwy when I went to the Sense ROM. Since did these steps this morning, my phone has not rebooted, crashed system ui, screen always wakes up, no proximity issues, and battery life is pretty good (stock CM kernel from Fly)
Edit: statement that proximity sensor issue did not occur has been revoked.
3)FORMAT EVERYTHING

I don't just wipe data and factory reset. I format the storage media and the system partition. If you have TwRP go to Wipe, advanced, check everything and wipe. Basically your phone is a clean slate.
I used to use AmonRa and I know you can do the same, but can't recall the actual steps.

I've been having FC and reboot problems for almost 3 months, and I can not figure out whats going on. I thought this was going to be the solution, but I followed the steps you listed (even flashed a stock RUU and wiped again for good measure), and I'm still having problems. I have alot of problems when trying to wake the device. Any other ideas? I'm really getting sick of flashing every other day!

First, backup all your files, including your SD Card.
@D8nkE posted these in the Infection thread
Boot into Amon Ra
Format data, system, cache Ext4 | Ext3 > Format all to ext3
Then Upgrade all to ext4
Hopefully this helps

I had wiped everything, but changing the formatting made me nervous. I'll give it a shot today. Thanks!

I have noticed a lot depends on what you are flashing and what you are doing with it. I use FlyHalf's CM build and kept getting myself into trouble with custom kernels. I have been running incredibly stable for about a week now on stock kernel with no tweaks. I do have Autokiller Memory Optimizer installed now however. Not sure if it's helping, but it definitely is not hurting.

So I've been on Infection 2.7 since Sunday. Formatted as instructed, installed very little apps, all from the play store. Didn't restore anything (including my Nova backup, which I did almost every time before this), and I kept the stock kernel (Funky 3.4) without making ANY changes to the settings.
I have noticed that it is much more stable, as I have only gotten 1 or 2 FCs since flashing...I used to get 2-3 per hour. I am still getting the "hot reboot" on manual wake though. The scenario is this: "Notification!", I press the power button, the soft keys light up but the screen stays black, a few seconds later I get the infamous spinning matrix android. To me, because it happens almost exclusively on wake, it has to be related to the kernel/governor and have something to do with it pulling out of deep sleep.
I am following the Infection, SenseXP and Funky AOSP threads, and will try each of the new ROMS/Kernel/Recovery combos this weekend and post some results as soon as I get something definitive.
As always, post if you have anything else I can try, but for anyone wondering if its worth formatting....it certainly appears to have made my phone alot more stable, so give it a shot.
I have another user that is getting very similar symptoms -sans the FC's on a different rom I dev for. Best me and him could come up with is that it is a signal issue, causing a crash at low end. Try a minimum clock @ 432mhz.

Try that out. Are you able to get any recovery to flash at all?
@Luke1213
You tried Hiro out lately? My buddys work has been flawless as of late!!! Half tempted to ditch the current CPU table in my base and revert back to the old one.

I was able to flash CWM and AR fine with fastboot. Just flashed the zip, and it sits on the HTC logo, then reboots.
Should I try HIRO, with Amon Ra, or is TWRP worth the hassle?

This may be another issue altogether.

Is there a way to prevent deep sleep? I know this would destroy battery life, but it might help determine if its related to waking from deep sleep. In the mean time, I'll bump the min to 432.

Yeah, I'm on RA, HIRO, and Infection 2.8.1 right now, so we'll see how it goes.
You don't want to disable deep sleep. At max you will only get 2hrs of battery also could even trigger thermal throttling. Try a sense ROM with my kernel version 3.4 and report back that's if 432 doesn't work out.
Also try switching to Br0kens vanilla aokp.

UPDATE
Increasing to 432 did not solve the problem, but then I thought that my screen brightness app Lux may have something to do with it. After disabling the app, I didnt have a single quick reboot in 2 or 3 days. Just re-installed it this morning and rebooted on my first wake. I did not have any reboots on the stock live wallpaper or a replacement wallpaper, but I was on a non-live wallpaper when I got the reboot from the app.
If I have any more issues, I'll try the Sense or Br0ken roms and report back.
OP: Sorry for the thread jack, and thanks again for the tip to wipe. That plus what I mentioned above has given me the most stable experience I've had since March!
Things were getting wonky with more than usual reboots, no matter what rom I loaded. So I backed up pics, formatted everything in recovery (all partitions and storage, flashed (Beanstalk) and treated the phone as if it were new. No app or data restores, etc.
Phone is running super solid without any issues, not a single blip.
It's like formatting a hard drive and reinstalling the OS and rebuilding from scratch.

Hey guys,
Currently I am using CM11 M9 snapshot, boeffla kernel, no OC/UV. But the problem occured even back on CM 10.2 Jelly Bean.
The phone randomly freezes when there is a lot going on (updates for example), also it becomes laggy after a while and needs a few minutes of quiet time. Even after a full wipe and only ROM install (no apps, no custom kernel) I sometimes ran into it freezing for a few seconds like it's working hard and then coming back. It seems to register touch commands and executes them "when it's back".
By now I have over 120 apps installed that I use from time to time. I thought having a big amount of apps does not matter since they're not running at the same time and even then the android memory management does a good job?
I am really confused, maybe I have broken hardware? Is there any way to test my hardware stability/quality? Could the CPU have degraded? Or the internal storage? What else can I do to my phone to "clean it up"? I thought a factory reset or FULL WIPE, clean install and trimming the storage is all I can do? I uninstalled the facebook app which seemed to help a little bit but I am still confused.
Would this help at all I wonder, but it's only for jelly bean.
I know there are multiple threads out on this but they all recommend "factory reset & clean install" which is what I did...
I really hope I did not make thread x-thousand on this case but I did not find anything related to "phone slow after factory reset".
Thanks in advance guys.:highfive:

Propably thats M9 problem. Seems like every snapshot is getting worst and worst.
I added some information to the first post.
The problem occured even back on CM 10.2. It just started getting worse and worse over time. It was the reason I wiped and flashed CM11 M9. I do not feel a difference between the two.
But seriously, that freaking facebook app gone helps a lot.
Still, is there any way to test my hardware stability/quality? Could the CPU have degraded? Or the internal storage?
i dont really know

I dont think your hardware is degrading, try to to do a comlete wipe even the internal storage...anyway i didnt notice a big difference too. My s3 was slowed down since M8 and now M9 with this problems. Just switched to those s5 roms

Internal storage wipe -> format SD card?
Hmm, switching from CFQ from ROW scheduler really bumped up the performance.
I start to suspect that that dredded facebook app and the CFQ scheduler screwed my device. I will test some big apps/games now.
EDIT: Aaaand it's running pretty good. Mhh, I will continue monitoring.
Good
