[Fascinate General] laureanop:
A lot of controversy and heated disagreements have developed around these subjects so out of respect for devs and members I decided to open this thread.

I have run every iteration of TW rom with stock kernel that has ever been released for this phone with the same results: after a few hours or days of heavy use the phone bogs down to almost a halt. In addition, performance was always less than remarkable.

There have been significant improvements in eh 09 and ei 20, either of these could be my daily driver, but the problem still persists.

Comradesven, imoseyo and djp952 have provided us with custom kernels that are full of the features we love: Bln, voodoo sound and color, voltage and oc options, flashlight, zram, etc.

It is my contention that these kernels + the memory optimizer+other tweaks take this phone from average and dull to snappy and exciting, performing better in every aspect but perhaps paying maybe a little price in battery life and in some cases stability.

I've been accused of giving uneducated and biased advice on the subject. I experiment with this stuff on a daily basis, and my opinions are based on my observations and my phone' s behaviour. Other than the phone testing way higher on any benchmark I ran I don't have any solid proof of what I'm saying

[Fascinate General] sendan:
When your phone gets bogged down is all of your ram used? (I've personally never seen mine past 325 no matter how hard I try, because the default android task manager is doing it's job I assume.)

I have had zero problems while running this setup with TSM res:

-Latest imsoyen with recommended settings in setcpu, along with the default zram values

-Dalvik heap 64M (or higher)

-permissions file

-Im not running voodoo lagfix, however thats for reasons other than performance

Do a full data/cache/dalvik wipe before flashing all this, and don't flash anything extra like xix. Also don't change any settings in setcpu, and don't use any task killers. (manually using the samsung task killer shouldn't be necessary)

I'm not saying this will work, this is just my control group because I personally have had success with it. If you give it a go post the results and we can go from there.

Also, do you have any apps from the market that always run in the background? (like tasker or widgetlocker lockscreen)

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Fascinate General] laureanop:
No, it gets bogged down right after ram usage exceeds 302-304mb. It's like the android low memory killer cannot keep up with the demand or doesn't act fast enough. I do run widget locker though.

Here' s what I'll do. I'll turn off the memory killer and widget locker. My heap is already 64mb. I'll set up the zram at the default value and run it until tomorrow.

For those of you that wanna install the latest adrenaline tweaks v12, beware that it makes drastic changes to the low memory killer values. While the phone will run tip top it kills apps left and right. I got rid of it immediately

A trend I have noticed is quite a few folks are having lag and rebots on pwgb and tsm1.0 no matter which kernel or setup. I find it interesting nobody is reporting these issues on ei20 geewiz? I wonder what's different in dj's rom/kernel?
[Fascinate General] laureanop:
@Sendan. You were correct sir. Widget Locker was creating mayhem when ram got past the 302 mark. I purposely tried to jam up the phone while running a logcat and it turns out widget locker was making calls every millisecond. When running OS monitor it didn't seem that WL was causing any issues.

So basically I've been running without memory optimizer for a day with no issues. The ram usage now gets into the 315-320 range and is able to recover with minimal lag, not enough to warrant the use of akmo./me hanging my head down in shame

So now I'm oc again and trying to figure out what the best zram value is. Phone is running great

[Fascinate General] sendan:
Nice thats good. As for other apps that may cause problems....widget locker uses an extremely large amount of ram, it might just be as simple as our phones specs aren't meant to run apps like that. I remember having the lag issues with cyanogenmod so it's definitely not exclusive to TSM Res.

I never had reboots on pwgb w/ tks 1006 kernal... 10/12 is when the reboots started for me just as laurenop posted. I tried akmo and widget locker and it seemed to do more harm than good. I never posted because these damn fascinates all react differently... the only main issue I had on pwgb was browser always shutting down and lag. converting the 1006 tks kernal back to rfs fixed the lag for me, but not for others. The same stuff goes on with every rom including mtd...Im starting to think it's more of a device issue than the rom/kernal combo because so many fascinates will respnd differently to the exact same setup...
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
i know this comment is a little late, since it seems you all have came to a answer on some slow down issues. But always remember to include apps as a cause for slow down, all apps are not created equal.

It drives me nuts when people say, I have tried every kernel, rom combination possible and it still acts this way. Or when they say I have loaded this on a few phones and mines the only one acting this way. Most of the "its the same" ends at Loading the rom and kernel, once you hand a phone over to its owner, and they install apps thats where it ends. Unless you can say you have the exact same apps as the other person, you can not say its the same.

This is the general rule I do, if i get some major issues, I go to stock, stock kernel and ROM, and Gapps and thats ALL, now I agree running a complete barebones system will suck, but if you have no extra apps installed and your still having slow downs, then you can blame it on the kernel or the rom.
[Fascinate General] laureanop:
I see what you're saying, but there's only a handful of apps that would cause significant issues. Problems that are common to a lot of users are usually Rom or kernel related

[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
I agree but the easiest way to know if it is a ROM or Kernel issue is remove all the other factors out of it.

Just like when troubleshooting issues in windows, one of the best things in the world is safemode or just removing all the startup items and services.
[Fascinate General] jcurley:
OK, let me throw a wrench into this entire topic.

If you have uninstalled the AKMO recently, you may still be running those AKMO settings.

Go to the file sys>module>lowmemorykiller>parameters>minfree. view as text, if you open this file and you are showing 1536,2048,4096,10240,12800,15360 or higher, you are running AKMO settings without the app on the phone.

Stock settings are 1536,2048,4096,6144,10240,12288

this is the only way to be running the stock low memory killer settings. Anything else is the AKMO settings, hence, No lag after uninstalling the app.

You can open this file and change those settings to stock if you want.

I found this, by uninstalling BLN app, but the back light will still light when I have a notification.

Check this out and tell me what your findings are.

Edit:

My wife's phone running PWGB, w/stock EH09 kernel, gets so slow, she reboots it, since I installed AKMO, she has not one complaint (about the phone that is). But I wonder if this has anything to do with Go weather clock widget.

Anyone else see the Go Weather Clock widget cause slow downs like widget locker?
[Fascinate General] laureanop:
If you're using TKSGB dont forget@comradesven changed those values in the kernel.
[Fascinate General] jcurley:
Yes, but after you run the AKMO, those values have also been changed and do not go away once you uninstall this.

Just saying, maybe that is why some folks get rid of the app and have no slow downs.
[Fascinate General] ibrubeer:
FWIW, I was using the stock kernel on PWGB before coming to Resurrection, and it was laggy as heck! Made me want to switch roms in short order. Luckily, I learned how to make things work better. Much better overall with the configuration below.

TSM Resurrection 1.0, TKSGB10-27 bleedingedge, lagfix, XIX, ec09, 64heap, soon, ondemandx, Uv-50, mem opt, zram 44372.
[Fascinate General] jimv2000:
This is not entirely useful, but I was having bad lag issues with TKSGB on TSM Resurrection until I wiped data and only restored a subset of necessary apps. I left off Facebook, Twitter, and a bunch of other apps. Fantastic performance and battery life all of the sudden, and minimal slow downs. I'm using FriendCaster now, and it still seems pretty quick.

I've also noticed that the Market tries to autoupdate everything now unless I go into TB and disable all the auto-updates. The IO from the updates could cause some unexpected lag if you didn't know it was happening.
[Fascinate General] laureanop:
The issues seem to start after a few days of use. Data, cache and dalvik wipes are only temporary cures

"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
[Fascinate General] the entity:
Last couple of days I've been trying a few different configurations. I've been getting no lag using

Tsm resurrection

Default heap

zram 64 mb

Akmo on aggressive

Bfq & smartass v2 (modified to upscale >65 cpu load)

Tks kernal undervolted, overclocked to 1200

I run tasker with multiple, complex profiles and it tends to use lots of ram. This keeps things smooth.

Sure smart ass keeps cpu running moderately high, but when screen goes off it keeps cpu ~400 or less. Acts like conservative. Plus the smart ass governor can be configured.
[Fascinate General] laureanop:
I installed adrenaline shot 13 on SC and found it to cause a lot of lag and confusion in my phone. Yes I scored 3100 in quadrant but the phone wasn't working properly. Also,, enabling zram seems to have no effect either way

IMO after TKSGB 11/14, there's no more need to tweak. Performance is fixed. (Now to make the charge and light behavior bulletproof.)
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Nitsuj17 seems to think something in EI20 is behind the hotboot issue (please correct me if I misunderstood, nitsuj17). The next version of TSM Resurrection will be based on EH03, which is finally Verizon-specific (of course the Mesmerize and the Showcase are the same hardware, but Verizon has a reputation for putting each Samsung update through rigorous testing while they add their bloatware to it). Perhaps the next TSM Resurrection release will eliminate some of these stability issues. The feedback has been positive from most users who jumped to Superclean 3 from Resurrection 1.2.

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Fascinate General] thebaron862:
It seems like for my phone, any kernel i tried for ei20 or eh03 ROM's ran much smoother with the lag fix disabled. I had most of my lockups during extended browser use.

I am running sc 0.3. I had it just a short while before I realized that I wanted wifi tethering monitoring removed, so I put the tks1117 kernel on it after seeing people liking that. However now when it is plugged in it makes the usb connection sound every time the battery drops below 95% and starts charging again- really annoying to have happen while I sleep. I see the battery notification and sound are supposedly removed from SC .3, so is this an issue with the kernel? I don't need to overclock or even really care about voodoo or other custom kernel features, I just want no annoying battery noises and no hotspot monitoring. Please to advise? If it's just possible to get rid of that sound file, that would work, too.

[Fascinate General] darkmage1991:
exactly why i don't use lagfix, i havn't used lagfix in about 2 weeks. performance increase from lagfix is very marginal, and only really shows in benchmarks. but in world experience i don't see the need for it and havn't had any issues out of my rom's without it, except for a game was making the touch screen freeze and require the screen to be turned off and back on, but that is in no correlation with lagfix but seems to be a driver issue, as the screen randomly freezes with a lot of people. and that's what i read from a dev post lol. but so far eh03 doesn't have this screen freeze issue that i notice even during shadowgun (the game that caused me hell on pwgb & tsm)

But as far as any tweaks i use none. i only overclock to 1.2 i find superclean 4 to be perfectly fast and stable. i would have even stayed with the stock kernel if it supported bln thats the only thing i really wanted from my kernel.

Did not have this issue before on TSM resurrection. Anyone else having this problem?

This was my experience aswell. Ahile back(2 months ago) I kept telling folks to disable lagfix because that actually fixed my issues on TW gb...all those extra tweaks do nothing imo.
