starting to lag alot...

so the first week with this rom was really really awesome, but now these last 2 days it's starting to lag alot. i'll get stuck on the lock screen, it won't unlock for like 10 seconds sometimes or trying to do a google search will just get stuck on a blank browser tab for a while before the search finally starts to come up. just all around slowness and laginess...

when i go to Running apps i see:

Launcher

Advanced Clock Widget

Pure Calendar Widget

Catch

Spotify

Visual Voicemail

NewsRob

Mint

Music

Google+

Maps

Google Voice

Weather Bug Elite

Google Services

Android Keyboard

is this really overdoing it? 15 things doesn't really seem like it should be overdoing it. especially when 5 of them are what i'd think would be main android things you kind of have to have (launcher, visual voicemail, googlevoice, google services and android keyboard). i have 7 widgets on my 3 home screens. i'm not gonna get rid of the clock, weather and calendar widgets... those should be basic functionality. but then catch, spotify, mint and newsrob's widgets are really useful and really some of the main reasons i even use android in the first place. as for the others, none of those are things i started manually. or at least i did at some point and they just never close on their own.

i have the virtuous oc daemon set to the default settings except i changed the wake max to 115200.

would overclocking further help? what are some good settings i could try. i also use cachemate to clear my cache every few days. it runs better for about 2 minutes after clearing the cache, but that's about it. maybe clearing something from recovery would help speed things up again?

appreciate the help. i really am liking miui and loving this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Same exact experience.

Lags in games / video recording.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ilea94:
rom itself working fine but it seems that games (for example eternal legacy) are a bit laggy.was working better on osi mood but have to test it again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
Games and camera can be a little laggy at times but for the most part RUN fine but its the initial load that's terrible. Everything completely freezes and when it unfreezes I'm either in the game or back on the home screen or a not responding popup. Its not like this is every time, but its pretty often. Reminding me of the good ol times with my g1 :-) haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Switched to Pershoots kernel, OC to 1.4: will report back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Hey tun4f1sh,

I searched but couldn't find anything solid on gett miui to recognize phone number. Is there something I'm missing? Its every miui, not just this one.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
my music issue

by the way, i found out a fix (not ideal, but still a fix) to my music problem i was having.

apparently the miui music app doesn't support nested folders. i took one of the albums in my downloads folder (which the album was itself a subfolder), and just moved all the loose mp3s into the /downloads folder and it picks them up fine. gonna make for a real ugly folder though if i decide to just move all my mp3s in there without separation, but at least it works...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Somehow it just deleted all my sms :'( I just sent a message then I went back to home screen and turned off screen . . . .15mins later I wonder why I hadn't got a reply so I turned on the screen went to sms and der all deleted :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Typically, I think this is a SIM card issue. Do you know if you have the problem only in AOSP ROMs (MIUI/CM), or does it happen in Sense based ROMs too?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
That shouldn't be overdoing it. I don't have this problem at all, and I've been running Bulletproof since the last July build, and haven't wiped since.

If it happens again, and you have ADB setup, run an "adb shell top" and tell me which processes are at the top of the list.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
In theory it should work, but I really think it ultimately defeats the purpose.

I don't think you'll see many gains between using the scary/smartass gov vs the ondemand gov for your screen-on governor. By all means though, give it a test and let me know what you think.

The main purpose of the smartass gov is to not have to use a screen-off profile, but the daemon is a cleaner and faster way of over/underclocking.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
You sure you didn't accidentally put your phone in "Privacy mode"? Check the toggle screen and see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Very sure. This was the first thing I checked. I then toggled in an out to make sure. Next I installed a 3rd party sms app which also showed no messages. Next I restarted and it seems my sms's are really lost :( I'm still receiving new sms though. I suppose its just a very unfortunate random occurance I suppose O.o still abit puzzling how it could happen though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Very odd. You tried rebooting, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Yes numorous times. It seems they are really totally lost. But it more then likely wasn't a glitch in your rom as I seem to be the only person who had it happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Cm as well, but with cm you have the option to manually add number in phone settings. Coredroid and synergy had my number showing, but a few other sense didnt .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
It does.

All my music is stored in SD/MUSIC/GENRE/ARTIST/song.Mp3

Never had any problems
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
what? really? i don't understand it then. it refuses to see any of my music if it's stored in subfolders of /Music or /Download
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
I've got my music in individual forlders. 1st being Music 2nd Genres(hiphop, rock etc etc)3rd individual folders for each artist/album. Everything works perfect for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
weird.. i was just thinkin.. "why hasn't anyone made a FAST miui.. :/"

and then i get online in a minute and see this. =] sweet.

super excited to try this out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Exact same setup :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Gaming works better than ever with this rom for me. Although I only play emulators for playstation 1 & Super Nintendo games. There's one game that always have given me temp slowdown before and after battle (Final Fantasy 7) but not anymore with this rom.

Super happy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Techngro:
This was my first time trying an MIUI Rom. I am very impressed. I don't think i'll be going back to Cyanogen for a long while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] grdnwsl:
This is an issue in Cyanogen and from my experience doesn't happen in sense roms. CM does have an option to manually set the device's phone number as a work-around.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more.then.fiction:
Do the G2 specific buttons work as labeled?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skinnyveganboy:
ext4

shoud i / can i use an ext part on sd with this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
I doubt I'm the only one with com.android.server$AlarmManager eating their battery? And activating itself almost everyminute even when screen is off.

Is there anyway to disable this process? Or to uninstall the apk starting this process because I presume it has something to do with alarms and I never use alarms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Yes. I used dartremors scripts for this and perfect. If you go to sd card settings you will see where rom looks for a2sd. Until you run those scripts it will "device doesn't support" but after it shows you the partition and how much space is left
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
You are not the only one I also have the same problem, but my battery life isn't bad.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Bulletproof is in ROM manager now :)

I should have OTA updates working for next (not tomorrow) week's build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
I get about 8hours, some browsing of fb . . No gaming, no texting today anyway. Mostly checking facebook and tapatalk.

Usually I get about 6hours with my heavy usage. And about 12 with almost no usage. I get grand battery in sleep mode usually though but not as good as it should be id say.

But consulting catlog told me that process does cause wakelock when it initiates.

I also have a self customized crazy undervolt table and have edited the daemon values so that even lower min voltages then stock are used. Also I am NOT overclocked, I run at stock 800mhz max. But iv always had battery life problems.(gps and wifi always off)

I can post my overclock daemon settings if someone thinks they are relevant to my mediocre battery :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Unable to get gps lock. Tried to instal faster fix but super user won't allow it(won't even show that it blocked the app from within SU app). Fasterfix said busybox not installed, so I tried to install and said SU blocked it again but won't show in the superuser app.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Try installing superuser from the market
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
This rom is superb. Though ive recently had to revert back to CM7. Reason being, flash isnt working properly via web browser! I've tried the stock and dolphin, both say i need to install or upgrade flash. However, i had the latest version of flash player. I do a lot of stumbling via stumbleupon app and there are often videos in there and i can't view them. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Is this an isolated case? Flash works great on CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
hey so i just finally got around to hooking my phone up and running adb shell top... it's STILL going after like 5 minutes. just line after line after line... and i tried scrolling to the top and i can't even scroll all the way up, it eventually just stops partially thru the list, so i can't see the top...

edit: if i scroll up to the top as far as i CAN go, the only things with any % of cpu use look like they're system_server with 4%, com.android.kineto with 8%, craigslistnotification at 4%, for a moment newsrob popped up with 21% but then disappeared (and now that i saw that i realize that the list is constantly changing), and something called top at 6%... but again, it's constantly changing, so i don't know for sure how to answer you about what's at the top of the list...

thanks for any help you can give me...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flyin18T:
Just tried out this ROM and I love how smooth it runs and how great it looks. One of the main reasons I haven't stayed with a MIUI rom in the past is due to the lack of organization of installed apps. I'm sure my laziness has played a part in it, however I do not believe that it should be so darn difficult to figure out how to alphabetize or sort the programs in some way. Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Personally I taught id miss the app drawer but I don't! I find folders much quicker and handier for finding me apps now. But when you have your apps in folders and click on the icon on the top right of the folder it gives you the option to sort alphabeticallly.

If you mean you want an appdrawer there is a decent program on these forums called 'altdrawer' search :) google should find it quick enough. Its an app which acts as an app drawer, its quick efficient and works well. You can even set it on your dock and have it like you wudve in other launchers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skinnyveganboy:
you can always just install whichever launcher you want on top of miui. I was using launcher pro and then it looks like any other build. but I recently started to realize that the app drawer is nothing more than just a gui thing and have been "putting up" with not having one. you get used to it. and I hadn't thought of putting my shortcuts in folders, i'll have to try that. thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flyin18T:
Wow, ALTDRAWER is perfect. Thank you so much. I would have never found that. I feel like a whole new world on this rom just opened up to me. Thank you very much!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ctraywick1:
This is how my screens are ordered and it works nice for me

* Thank you. That is all......

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
i bet that's gonna fix my issue too with it not recognizing my mp3s in subfolders. awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GetTargetedFans:
Try installing autokiller memory optimizer on the ultimate setting and cachemate, that should take care of your lag problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
i have and use cachemate but everyone says task killers on android are the worst thing. it's been a huge debate i've argued alot about in various forums, because they say that android already kills tasks that need to be killed and i say "umm... no it doesn't" haha. i'll give it a try though. can't hurt at this point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Update!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Brilliant! Off to download and test :D

This morning I lost 20% battery in 30mins of heavy usage O.o (mostly youtube/browsing) I really wonder if iv some battery problem . . . .the visable metal rim on the underside of the stock battery, should I tape this to prevent metal to metal contact? Just in case I got an odd battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
In my experience, killing tasks all the time instead of letting the android system take care of the memory makes the system unstable. You may have less free memory when not doing so but the phone still runs better in own experience. My phone kept becoming laggy and unstable when killing tasks. So I never do it anymore and the phone runs great.

The android system exits an app automatically if the system needs the memory for another app. So no need to run any task killers for several reasons.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merk_maniak:
links are not working?

Can't download the update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
available @ rom manager...

titanium backup doesn't detect root :/... oh, reboot -.-
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Raul^:
I tried miui today, its nice but when i have automatic brightness on myscreen turns bright then dark every couple of seconds. Its so annoying i revert back to sense rom. Anybody has the same issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
See I've had the opposite experience with android. I love android, don't get me wrong. But my g1 & g2, both stock & with various different roms have been laggy when left to their own task killing. When I install a task killer it at least speeds it up for a few minutes which is better than android does by itself ever. Just installed the one recommended above. So far so good actually. I'll reply again later though with my thoughts throughout the day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ballicali:
Support this ROM arabic?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
well, whats whit the market not detecting apps restored whit miui backup. not showing up on "my apps" ?

second.. whats whit the wma music files in "misc" on file browser o.O...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Fixed, thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike96789:
Another good alternative for the app drawer is wave launcher and it doesn't change the look miui at all
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Just updated :) use rommanager to download for the first time as I now have an unlimited data plan and it was even quicker then if I was to download on computer! XD

So far no major problems (did a full wipe cause I was begininng to have issues). One little quirk though is that when I installed my usual suaveHD icon pack the 'music' and 'camera' apps icons did not change, this annoys me a little bit as they now look a bit out of place.

Was the process name for these apps changed in this update?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
Can I update using the included update method in the system settings since there is a miui update to version 108260(beta)?

I actually dont want at beta but when these come out are they compatible or are these only for like the miezu 8 and stuff?

EDIT: you can update straight from the phone settings... it installed and worked GREAT. I have just one question though.. is this from the same person that put this here? Or am I now on the official versions? Or was this one an official version.. so confused..

AFTER the update everything seems to have speed up a little bit. I def recommend the latest update!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HunnyBearLewis:
Hey all, quick question/problem.

Every time I take a picture or video with the flash ON, my screen goes to max brightness. Typically I just readjust, but its gotten very annoying after 5 pics in one day. Autobrightness doesn't help either.

Any suggestions? A link? Trying to type as little as I got a gross dog bite on my right thumb so it's wrapped up right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
check "about phone" in settings, tells you what rom you are running. all these versions available for us are based on orginal beta versions. there is no "stable" version available for desire Z. Might be wrong here but, orginal ones are only in chinese, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
Just noticed that when you try to put apps on the luancher bottom sometimes the icon will disapear and you have to use apps like anycut to get access to the app again.

This happens even when dealing with 3 App icons, but its most annoying when you have 5 and are trying to add the 6th.

Edit: Also when you use google voice search the auto search google doesn't work. (all the other search options work, but when you just do a "web search" it will just open the browser and then sit there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
So can I update through the updater app or throught about phone settings ota update?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merk_maniak:
Yea this has happened to me. Since there is no app drawer I lose icons when trying to put them on the launcher bar. Just be very careful when going from 5th to 6 icons. I've noticed its very easy to just replace an icon u want on there. An easy fix for losing icons instead of dling a program is to simply just reapply ur theme. And all ur icons should be back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
Yes you can update via settings : system tab: About phone: System updates
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
MIUI-108260 now.. I was using the one OP had for this thread before updating. When I was on a different MIUI rom I think it was the OSI one, the update didnt work. Im happy this one worked out so easily.

Another issue has been when you use google voice search the auto search google doesn't work. (all the other search options work, but when you just do a "web search" it will just open the browser and then sit there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shady503403:
I don't use task killers but I do use fast reboot and cachecleaner and gives me good results.. sometimes you just "want" to kill some apps from running.. e.i. words w/friends, facebook, navy battle.. so it works good for things like that. Just my 2 cents. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] polarbearmc:
update

so when you say an incremental update just needs a simple cache wipe, does that mean use the wipe davlik cache option in the rom manager preinstallation? or should i boot to recovery and do the regular wipe cache option?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
You'll just want to select "Wipe cache"...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
i installed this right now. i'm coming from cm7. i've noticed that by default the new talk is installed (the one video voice/video chat). is it stable? i remember that goo-inside.me introduced it a few months ago but they had to switch back because it was giving issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
two more questions: i do not see the battery icon on top. i went in the settings, tried graphical, percentage,... nothing works.

how do i remove the basic lockscreen? i have a pattern lock, i don't need both.

thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Hey guys, just want to clear something up. If you accepted the OTA via the updater app, then you're likely running the miui.us build (without the OC daemon and optimizations). If you did this, no big deal, just download and flash the Bulletproof .26 release, then flash this script:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/bulletproof_ext3_to_ext4.zip

Then you'll be all set. Quick easy ways to tell if you're running the miui.us release are, check the boot animation (theirs says miui.us), and check your kernel version; if it's not the pershoot kernel, you're not running Bulletproof.

The only OTAs you should accept should be through ROM manager. The mixup with the miui.us OTAs shouldn't happen next week.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
OP updated along with 2nd post w/ resources/addons. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Just noticed an oversight in the 1.8.12 build. the conservative governor isn't supported by the pershoot kernel (which is what the daemon attempts to use by default), so make sure you go into the OC Daemon controller and setup your screen off profile.

Recommended settings:

Wake min: 245760
Wake max: 1248000
Wake gov: ondemand

Sleep min: 245760
Sleep max: 768000
Sleep gov: ondemand

If you're not using the OC daemon controller, the following commands will straighten you out via ADB:

adb remount
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox sed -i 's/conservative/ondemand/g' /system/etc/virtuous_oc/sleep_governor
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox sed -i 's/599040/768000/g' /system/etc/virtuous_oc/sleep_max_freq
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox sed -i 's/998400/1248000/g' /system/etc/virtuous_oc/wake_max_freq
adb reboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Works for me, not sure why it's giving you trouble.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
See this post for a short list of supported kernels. You can use any AOSP kernel with this ROM and the OC daemon. Stay away from the smartass gov, and be aware that certain kernels will break things.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Are.Two:
Looking forward to trying this although I've been a huge supporter of Carpe's MIUI ROM. But am going to give this one a shot and see how it performs. I will report back sometime tomorrow and let you know how things have been going on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SashaSki:
Liking it so far, just wondering if there is any need for the Updater app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Titanium Backup does not work with this rom. It does not recognize it as a rooted rom and won't function because of that. Other apps such as Absolute System works though. Not sure what is going on.

Is there a way to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SashaSki:
Titanium Backup is working fine for me =/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
im having no problems with titanium backup. when you open up titanium there is a button in the bottom left which says "problems?" click it and it will make sure busybox and superuser are up to date
