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!
Hello,
I'm on SGS 2, lite'ning rom 2.2 and i use launcherpro plus cause it looks great.
Now... if i use like 6-7 homescreens with calender, friends, facebook etc...will it eat more battery than using 1-2 homescreens?
It should not right? cause the program itself is running...
Any thoughts are welcome..
greets
maybe my android os = 50 % :S
I dont think that the pure amount of homescreens drains more or less battery, but ofc. the more active widgets(Twitter, News, ...) you use, the more battery will be used.
More homescreens makes the process use up more memory. With you using more widgets, your Launcher Pro will use up more memory. More memory usage equals more battery power is necessary. So if you USE those homescreens they'll suck your battery dry.
Btw, you made two threads.
Will asking the same question twice eat up more forum space?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168611
It's not about more Home screens but the widgets in them. More widgets=More battery drain, especially the one like Accuweather which continuously searches for place and refresh temp at an specified interval unless you stop automatic refresh.

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, and flash'ed the Resurrection Remix 1.7 ROM. BEST!
What I missed is a Taskmanager like the original Samsung ROM Taskmanager.
You can see what is open (okay... I can see this with ICS too), whats in the Background open (this I cant see), and how much RAM it eats /how much RAM is free...
I looked at the Play Store, and there are Apps, they are old (are they still ICS compatible?), or they are ugly or have Ads like "Wanna have better Battery!?! OMG!!! Download my all-can-fix-app here".
I dont want anything, only the funktion, whats in the Background open, and how much RAM it eats... Like in the Samsung ROM with the one widget.
Sorry for my bad english.
Hope you can help me. Becouse I dont find something...
Thanks.
+1 I was wondering about this too.

you dont need a task manager on android
android manages ram differently
if you kill a app with a taskmanager
android will just restart it= wastage of battery life
apps in the back ground are frozen and wont affect performance but u can remove them in the ics multitasking UI

Thanks for the answer.
But when I will watch/show (...my english... ugly!) what is in the background? Or what CPU eats?
Can ICS show me this too? Becouse I doesent find enything. In Stuck ICS from Samsung, I can watch it, and so I can see, for example:
I have installed "Testapp A", and I wonder, why the battery will be so short, I go to Samsung Taskmanager, and it shows me that the App running in the Background, so I go to Play Store, and delete this app. So it dont running more...
With Stuck ICS I wonder, why the battery goes down... I looked. And an App was in Background. A Game... So I have deleted this crap.
Do you know what I mean? Its for me more Diagnostical, I know, when I kill something, it will restart.
Maybie it´s not a Taskmanager, it´s more a Diagnostical app?
Sorry for this english.

what a bunch of bull
background apps are frozen on iOS, not on android, they fully run, hence the term "full multitasking".
also, just services will restart on their own, normal apps, like youtube, games and so on are fully quittable, why would they restart? do you think all your apps run all the time?
the more ram is consumed, the more power the device uses, so exitting background apps saves battery.
i am also still looking for a good task manager like the samsung stock one, because in ics, some apps just don't quit, like skifta, with the dlna server running all day the battery life goes down massively and swiping it away in the recent apps screen just doesn't quit it.

Actually it's not a bunch of bull. You can freeze apps on android using Titanium Backup. Also you can disable some apps that you don't use (not all of them allow it) or don't use frequently with just app manager in system settings. Then you can re-enable them when needed.
You can try apps like Task Killer, etc... (and make sure you kill it too so it's not on all the time), but it's not as good as freezing with TB.
Good luck.
Don't know if this is "ugly", but it's ad-free anyway - Diagnosis.
I like it anyway, and the dev is great, posts on the apps section. His SD Maid app is a godsend.
I use ES Task Manager. Find it useful and you can also mange cache and startup programs.

Hi,
I just switched from Apple and bought my first Android Phone. I am loving the overall experience of Andriod and the power of the SIII but sometimes, it gives me a headache.
Often times, the phone becomes quite sluggish and unresponsive for a short time and then gets back to normal. This usually happens at the home screen and the phone takes a while to redraw the screens. The phone becomes very sluggish when moving from one screen to the next.
Sometimes I notice sluggishness in the contacts and in the messages.
I have tried Apex and Nova launchers too and am currently using GO Launcher. It is great and I was loving it all the way but after about 10 days of use, even GO launcher has become sluggish and during this time, I did not make changes to the phone nor added any new apps. It seems like the RAM is full with apps and little resources available to the launcher itself. I feel Andriod can do better with RAM management.
How can I speed up my phone ? Optimize my RAM / CPU resources ? Is there a solution or do I have to live with it ? I can't imagine a phone so powerful behaving this way.
Please Help ! Thanks.
I am using the I9300 with 4.1.2
Hi
The reason for this is sometimes the ram becomes full and to free it up android starts killing up processes, including the Launchers too.
The best solution would be to jack up the RAM, but that's not possible.
One way you can avoid it for 90% (if not 100%) is by using Nova Launcher.
Go to Nova Settings -> Scroll to the bottom -> Advanced -> Check on Aggressive Desktop.
What it'll do is that it'll try to keep the launcher in memory as much as possible reducing the redraws and slugginess.
It doesn't work always, but for most of the part it does.
Root your phone and install a custom kernel such as siyah. Allows you to adjust certain gpu and cpu options as well as deliver far better sound.

Yes, rooting seems to be an option but that is the different route. I would like to try out the non rooting solutions first. I even installed Start Up Auditor and Watchdog, well theoratically it seems to be working but in the real sense, not most effective.
Q&A section awaits you
Make sure "Power saving" is off
Make sure you havent accidentally activated power saving mode, it makes the phone noticeably sluggish and scrolling skip frames.
Turn off animations in developers settings or set to .05

Ok let's get it started.
Install nova or apex and enable keep in memory from their settings.
Disable ripple effect in lock screen settings.
Go in application settings - all and disable following.
S voice
S suggest
Samsung applications
Video hub
Music hub
Everything Samsung which has a small blue cloud as an icon, there will be 7-8 apps.
If you only use Gmail. And don't use email app, you can disable it and also exchange services.
Disable flipboard
Disable everything Yahoo.
Disable live wallpaper and use a static one.
Have only one weather widget installed at one time. I would say default weather widget is good enough.
You will gain good amount of ram.

These are good for finding the problematic apps but I would not recommend these to be run in background permanently.

If I have to do ALL this .... then what's the point to buying the best in the market ? There is no better method than using all these small tweaks ?
I mean a top notch phone with great hardware and software should be able to do fine just on its own (without the tweaks) ...
Anyway ,,, my animations are already set to .05. I tried Nova, but GO launcher is just much better and faster. There is nothing in the settings or an app, that can reserve more RAM for the desktop and keep the million apps from running in the background ? Even when I kill apps from Watchdog, they pop right up after a few seconds.
I was showing off my phone to a friend who owns Apple, and right there in the middle of my Demo, The curse began and my desktop took 10 seconds to load ... it was pretty embarassing.

But this is Android my friend vastly different from the generic iPhone where everything works out of the box and everything looks the same but you are highly restricted in what you can do.
With Android you can modify and change to your hearts content, my Galaxy S3 has none of the problems you have, it whizzes along with superb battery life, people have already given good advice to you, usually noobs are told to use the search function
BTW not a chance is Go Launcher better than Nova, the best launcher in the business

I see from the above that you came from Apple... you know, you have the Android phone now, most of the stuff unfortunately have something to read or to set up. This is especially important for ANY apk which was not written specifically for I9300, as there are plenty of Android devices on the market.
and, typically for plenty: My IPhone was brilliant, and now I have to suffer, my, oh my!. Let's start from beginnig: you have changed the Launcher on I9300 for something what was not specifically designed for it (it is only COMPATIBLE, I mean: was not optimized). Try to replace it on iPhone, and then claim something, please.
OK, let's try to make your Go Launcher more playable now.
While on main screen, push menu button, then open preferences.
go to advanced, here you will find two important for you options:
1. System persistent and 2. Prevent force close.
Furthermore, unless you will root phone and uninstall/disable TW, it will be always somewhere in running processes.
Finally, please tell how many widgets do you have, Live wallpaper? etc.
Last but not least: you should look on the processes running in background rather than on apps. And feel free to use Go task switcher for that, it is add-on to Go Launcher, and free as well.
just don't use any task killers to clean your RAM, Android handles it pretty well and you're only messing up the system
Usually rooting is the best option as Samsung updates might be pushed before its stable.
If not turn off power saving option. And other small tweaks

Can I ask how you managed to do this (specifically Flipboard). I am running a typical stock International firmware that is rooted and have managed to safely remove a good deal of the junk/bloatware but Flipboard persists in returning upon reboot. Is there something I am missing? Any advise appreciated.
Hi there,
I have a GT-i9300. I was wondering: When I check out some messaging apps like WhatsApp in my friends' iPhones, I see that they get this little transition effect right after sending/getting a message, whereas in my Android device the messages sort of pop up without any effects. I see these little transitioning differences in many apps. Is that related to Android's and iOS's core coding system, or is it because big companies' Android developers are just too lazy?
It could be because android developers are all about speed stability and performance, while iPhone developers are all about looks and could care less about speed stability and performance.

The latter. There are many beautiful Android apps out there, much better looking than many iOS apps. It depends on the developers. Whatsapp just looks ugly on Android. I don't know why it's taking them so long to adapt the holo UI and make it modern looking.

Not true. iOS apps are very fluid and smooth. You can hate on iOS for many things, but definitely not for speed and performance. Also, there are many beautiful looking Android apps which work perfectly even on low end devices. Ugly != better functionality.

I agree. Just because an app is beautifully designed doesn't mean it has to have poor performance. And the fact that professional (and probably rich) developers like Whatsapp Inc. still don't make visual improvements on their apps of the biggest operating system out there amazes me.
