[Q] Dealing with lag? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my phone has evolved into a setup I can't do without but I'm experiencing a lot of lag unfortunately. Ive never had to deal with this before as I don't do much intensive use and don't play games on it.
Wondering if anyone can simply point me in the right direction from here to resolve it. Running cm10.1.3 stable on the i9300.
Programs I installed after which lag started:
Xposed Framework
Xprivacy Module
App Settings Module
Greenify Module
LMT
Apex Launcher

I have similar problem like you, my phone works a bit slower while using Xposed frameworks but the scrolling jitter is the worse problem because it's more noticeable. I also tried Fstrim app,greenify, and forcing GPU rendering in settings but it's didn't help much.

Maybe try Seeder (search the playstore) and see if that helps?

found a couple of things that greatly reduced lag:
-turn of usb debugging (moderate improvement)
-turn off magnification gestures (huge improvement)
tbh i'd like to try seeder before I buy it but there doesnt seem to be that option...

Wow that was instant! Didn't realize how much lag there was till i tried this!
Will definitely be buying this after a little testing (crossbreeder caused random restarts when i'd tried it)

[Q] Prime's performance in Balance mode, honest answer please.

Hi Xda forum,
I sent my Prime for repair after the hdmi port was not working. Right now, I'm am getting lags when swiping between homescreens quickly and i'm in balanced mode.The lag seem to improve when I switch to performance mode but it still exist. And also when clicking on the app drawer there is slight lag as well.
I would like to know if any of you guys are having the same issues as me ?
Please try it out for me, I really want to know if its a defective hardware problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Venz
my prime works great in balanced mode. when I'm not overclocked, I always use the 1.2Ghz balanced mode. no lag at all. everything moves fast as far as swiping thru homescreens, launching apps, loading web browser pages, scrolling thru web browser pages, etc...
try a fresh reboot to see if it clears things up. if sounds like you installed a bad app or widget or something. check the last things you downloaded. then uninstall one by one to see if it clears issue.
Ya,I've tried all types of reset.There always a very small lag when swiping across screens quickly and sometimes when clicking the app drawer.I find the prime pretty smooth hefore the repair.Confused.
Thats not normal.....i dont even see any lag when im on power save.
i run it in balanced and everything is super smooth. i have not been able to make it lag yet. only while using Wifi certain games(Glu) will lag.
other than that Nothing.
I've found the biggest thing that affects homescreen performance is the number of screens and widgets. Are your screens pretty cluttered? What launcher are you using?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't run Launchers or have numourous number of widgets on my homescreen.Even after a factory reset/Wipe/hard reset, I get slight lag that appears when sliding across homescreens.
I told the asus service staff about this but their reply was "It passed all the required test and there's nothing wrong with your tablet"

Do you mean you are having lag on HDMI? Because I think everyone misunderstood you here and think that you are having lag while using the touch screen. I don't have an HDMI cable to test your problem out though...
I run my tablet always on the balanced mode. I have never see any lag while swiping. In fact I am using multipic live wallpaper with random effects. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta. Give a try with different launcher.

you shouldnt have to do that with the prime in my OP anyway. i mean if it fixes it great. but this thing should not have any lag as far touch screen flipping through home screens. i even cluttered my screens up last night after reading your post with pictures, and widgets and live wallpaper to have have as much going on as possible. and didnt see any lag on any cpu setting.
i would try and find a way of getting it replaced.
that would bug the hell out of me........
Live wallpaper? If you a live wallpaper such as the Asus Water ones it will lag a little bit especially when the animation is starting after you wake up your screen.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
i didnt use that one. just simply because i do not like it.....but i will use that one to test with when i get to the house.
and he was only talking about flipping through home screens.....not the start up lag. so thats what i was reffering too.

Thanks alot Guys! I have returned my prime back to the service center.Furthermore, I tried out a Prime display set and noticed no lags whatsoever.
The lagging bothers me so much !
Hi Forum, I just got back my prime from Asus. It got it's motherboard replaced again. But i'm still finding lags and stutters ....I don't what is the issue..seems like Asus can't figure it out too.
Do you have any suggestions on what could it be ?
Build Number : 9.4.2.15
Kernel version 2.6.39.4
AnTuTu Benchmark v2.7.1 (In performance mode) : 10610
CPU frequency : 1600 MHz
your score seems right for your device. you have something going on in the background causing lag. try this. go into settings. then developer options. then turn of window and transition animations. then force gpu rendering. that should speed you up. although that's not required as my out the box setup was lag free, that will speed device up. as far as ui n such goes. do you have any oddball Widgets on homescreens or anything? also download a free app called system panel. it will show you what apps are running. this shows alot more than Asus task manager. if you see something running that's active, and you not using it or shouldn't be running, just kill it.

Hi Demandarin, thks for the suggestion. I tried it but there isn't any improvements. I just noticed one thing, there isn't any lag when I click on the sides...the homescreen shifts smoothly but whenever I swipe it across the screen, there's a very small stutter during the transition period.

Hi Demandarin, just one question...I launched system panel lite app, settings > Dev info > Under the CPU section : Processors/Cores : 4
SYSFS CPUs Present : 4
Processor : 3 << Is it suppose to be like this ?
both powersave and balanced modes limit the framerate to 35fps, it is not totally unreasonable that some people are able to see the difference, while the vast majority do not.

I don't think its anything to be worried about. maybe just false reporting in the dev. info section.

Process Android Core UI stopped working?!

Hey guys,
As my title says, I keep getting that message quite often! Sometimes 2 times a day and it messes my wallpaper up. When I hit the recents menu and clear it enough times, the UI "reboots" or redraws itself and I have to enter my knockcode (using Xposed) and reset my wallpaper. Anyone here know what could be causing this? I can provide a list of Xposed modules that I use if that might be the case. I also use Nova prime (latest version).
Please can someone help pinpoint this problem or message me if you have found a solution? It annoys me to no end!
Thanks!

u can hit Thanks Button instead of typing it...

as u said only customization that can effect System itself (and exactly UI) is that module.
if u say more if u install something with root access it may help to figure out exact issue...

Fair enough. I'll go with the whole trial and error and if it's pinpointed I'll update the OP
Ditto on the error
I get this, can you post the Xposed mods you use? There might be a common mod we could identify as the issue.

Hey! Yeah I use the following modules:
20MP superior auto
Advanced power menu
App settings
Gesture navigation
Gravity Box
Holo themer
Keepchat
Knock code (have a feeling its this one)
Snapchat full caption
Snapshare
Xperia Xposed (KK)
Xposed DTN Disabler
YouTube adaway
I also use Adaway itself and have an Android L theme (from the cross development section)
If I had to guess, I would put it down to either knockcode, App settings or Xperia Xposed (KK) or MAYBEA gravity box!
What do you use?

I have the following matching ones...

Snapchat full caption *
Snapshare *
Xperia Xposed (KK)

But the ones marked * I installed since having the error message so probably not them. Also I did disable Xperia Xposed for a few days to see if it was this and still got error.
I'm going to back your choice that it's the Knock Code module. I'll disable for a few days and see how it goes.

Hey Darren, thank you for your reply. Sorry, I have been extremely busy with work.
Yeah I do get the feeling it's knockcode but I've just had the message come up now when I hit the recents menu and I was already using the phone. Do you think it could be the xperia Xposed (KK) module? I'm not even sure what the hell I'm using it for to be honest.
Let me know your findings on knock code. If it is that, I'll be sure to disable it and report the bug to the developer or to the dedicated thread on XDA.
Cheers! :highfive:

If I had to put it down to something I would say Gravity box or Xposed xperia although at this point it could be anything! I'm running catlog in the back as often as I can in order to catch the process actually stopping. Think this will pinpoint what causes it?
It is gravity box I think...

Could potentially be it! I had the nav bar tweak on where my navbar was a different colour. The process only stops working when I hit the recents menu so it might be that the UI isn't refreshing properly or something. I've disabled it anyway, let's see how that goes.

I did try with that mod off but I'm going to uninstall for a bit and see what happens.
I've tried taking gravity box off and uninstalled it too but the process still stops although the wallpaper doesn't mess up anymore. The ui just redraws and takes me to my lock screen (knockcode) which I then enter and everything is fine. I have a feeling it may actually be knockcode. Might turn that off now and see what happens.

Same here, had the Xperia Xposed uninstalled and less than 24 hours had 3 of these errors and knock screen appear.

Here's the thread for the mod nobody seems to mention the error though?
If yiu are using a different wallpaper for your lock screen, then change it to the same one as your home screen. I did that and no more messed wallpaper or android process force close for the past few days. The option is in the personalization section I think

Tried this and still got the error and knock screen. I have tried with Xperia Xposed on and off and still has issue. I'm still thinking its the knock code mod.

This is the correct answer. Since I last posted, I had turned off Knock code and that is exactly what was causing the process to end. I now have a pin entry and so far I have had no problems with the wallpaper corrupting or the android.core.UI process not working. I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem; turn knock code OFF if it happens to you. :highfive:
Reflashed phone a few weeks ago and stopped using Knock Code mod then. Not had the error since so yep it's definitely that. Shame as I really like the mode

[Q] Android L Question, Xposed related

Hi,
Since Xposed doenst run on Lollipop (yet hopefully), I was wondering if any of you could recommend some alternatives if there are any. I know there is nothing wich is as good as Xposed but some tips on usefull apps might come in handy. Could Tasker be any help there, and if yes, how.
Thx in advance.
Xposed has never been "good". I'm so happy support is dropped.
Regarding alternatives it depends... What do you need?

I thought it to be good. I would lik to be able to add quicktiles, extended volume settings, more options to GEL. Stuff like that
I don't recommend anyone to use xposed.
Concerning your needs:
Volume: monitor this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barrasso.android.volume
For now it doesn't support lollipop but the author says he will.
Quicksettings: don't know any alternatives
GEL: why? You a fan of Google now? Otherwise look at some alternatives. I use nova. Action launcher is soon getting a nice update.

naaaah come on, there is a lot of nice modules in xposed ...well with lollipop I don't really need them any longer.
But there are a few modules that I miss:
*Snapchare
*Keepchat
*Snapchat Full Caption
*SnapColors
Going to move this thread to q&a...
Just an FYI, a good launcher that gives you a decent level of customization (for a free launcher anyways) is Lollipop Launcher (from the creators of Holo Launcher)

Do you get more or less performance with Lollipop?

I tried two ROMs, CM12 by Temasek and CM12 by Archi. Both weren't fast as Kitkat for me. I was using boeffla kernel with battery saving presets (1ghz CPU, underclock GPU, and both undervolt). This is what I use on Kitkat too but it performed better. Can you guys give me your views that how you feel it performs and if you thinks its better than Kitkat, list me your kernel and ROM.
And my main problem is xposed modules. One is gravity box and other is hack connectivity services and last one my favorite is greenify. I use gravity box to turn on flash light on lock screen by holding home button. I also use it to skip songs by volume keys but I think its possible in LP without modules. I use it for other purposes too but I want any alternatives for my most used favorite functions. I use hack connectivity services module to do reverse tethering and use all apps. Any alternative for that too? You can ignore greenify.
Another major issue is that when I restored apps from Ti backup, most of them didn't worked. I think its related with runtime? Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Xposed Framework support Lollipop now.Try it and try to dl your Gravity Box and Hack connectivity.
Yes probably due to new ART of Lollipop.Just wait an update from the dev's.

what are the best xposed modules?

Hey guys. I've looked about the forum seen some modules that people are using but some modules including ad away I can't find in exposed. I have ad away for YouTube but I want to remove ads from my browser and from apps. So yeah, what are the best Xposed modules that people are currently using?
BEST? Depends on your likes and preferences I guess. For Adaway you're looking in the wrong place for it (not related to xposed, try F-Droid)
Currently on xposed I'm using: NoOverlayWarning, XNotifications, Greenify, XPrivacy, One-Tap Video & G4 Tweaksbox(which I currently have disabled, but it works!) I love Flat Style Bar Indicators for customization but not so much on the G5 because its been running hot

I downloaded greenify and amplify but not entirely sure how to use them effectively lol. Also is F-droid secure?
There are threads on all these modules. Look into the xposed section, lots of good reading for example...Amplify is something you don't want to be touching stuff if you don't know what you're doing. And yes F-Droid is actually very secure. And they have a strict policy on keeping it that way
