Performance Improvements

Hi together,

I have a nice tip for you to improve the performance and memory of your phone:

All you need is a good and big SD-Card. As erikcaz wrote, you can use Link2SD for moving all of your apps to the SD-Card. You can also use this to remove certain apps you don't need. So I have removed talk and music (because Play Music is a much nicer player :P). Then, you have the possibility to create a swap partition on the SD-Card. This has the effect that every part laying around in your RAM that could be used in further time but isn't used at the moment, is moved to the swap partition. This makes your phone very fast and most of all the lags are gone. Here is a little howto I have found:

Now, the ROM is my daily and the only thing I am missing is the VPN-Capability, which is not working right at the moment (I think this is missing in the not working area, right? :D)

And last but not least, very great thanks to the Jellaxy team. Never saw such a great and fluent JB on my Gio :cowboy: :cool: :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
Setted JB with Link2SD, the only a2sd working with no problem.

Now testing for some days. :)

hi, the clock has some lag when you enter it, can that be fixed?

and also can you tell me a good radio but to work without internet and also without the noise that has spirit fm radio

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WorldRacer:
Another tip: Kill the default launcher app of cm9 :) (It is a system app that cannot be the same). But be careful! Install Nova Launcher first! Else, you wouldn't have any launcher app, so your phone will be useless. Nova Launcher is almost the same (Never got the difference), but you can move it to SD-Card with Link2SD. Now, I have 75MB of free internal storage. So no app will not be prevented from being installed anymore!

Hi guys. Concerning 4.2 / CM10.1 some serious stuff is happening as we speak.

On github we and a bunch of devs are combining forces.

See https://github.com/androidarmv6

I am sure this combining of armv6 knowledge will bring awesome things!

More news soon!

Wouldn't be better idea to finish CM9 and CM10 before thinking about CM10.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WietsedeVries:
I haven't read anything about CM10.1. Erik is working on a AOSP 4.2 (based) rom. This has nothing to do with Cyanogenmod.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] movfan:
CM9 is bugfree, what more could you possibly want.

I'm using it everyday without any lag.

I've been using S2E together with ram manager pro, without a swap file.

That did the job, now its very responsive.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] gabrielking9:
What config do you use on ram manager pro?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] movfan:
Balance (More multitasking)

Set on boot.

Lock launcher in memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] gabrielking9:
Just these?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] movfan:
Yes, just these, it's giving me between 50 and 100 mb free ram.

is S2E fully supported?

is S2E fully supported? i'm getting an odd behavior

after having S2E working, i can't install apps - Android reports that i don't have enough space.

i'm using CM9.

this is how i installed it:

(i had rooted the device and had CM7.2 and CWM before, so i skipped rooting and reinstalling recovery, which currently is 5.0.2.7 by phiez)

(i also had before S2E on CM7.2, but either way i repartioned again the sdcard from CWM before proceeding)

(did a factory reset from CWM and also formated /sd-ext just to be sure)

- installed CM9 with cm-9-20121120-UNOFFICIAL-gio.zip by install zip method in CWM recovery

- installed Google Apps for ICS with gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by install zip method in CWM recovery

- rebooted, and let the wizard take place, guiding me through google login:good:

- all seems okay, google play store works:good:

- opened Terminal and did "su" then "mount" - reports /sd-ext not mounted. however, partitions are in ext4, which is good. root is working:good:

- installed Freespace from play store and it reported that /sd-ext is not detected, which is normal, since its not mounted:good:

- installed S2E from play store and it reported i can't do anything, which is normal. enabled mounting /sd-ext as ext4, then rebooted:good:

- opened S2E and enabled applications and private applications in /sd-ext, then rebooted

- S2E boot log reports no errors:good:

- opened S2E and enabled dalvik cache and data in /sd-ext, then rebooted

- Android runs application optimization on boot; S2E boot log reports no errors:good:

- opened Freespace and it reports now that /data is almost empty, and that all data is now on /sd-ext:good:

- installed some application from play store; double check on Freespace - REPORTS INSUFICIENT SPACE:confused:

whats wrong / what am i doing wrong?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
That's because tune2fs fixed some errors on your sd-ext.

So, it fullfilled sd-ext/lost+found directory by errors.

Solution: free lost+found directory from adb or terminal or root explorer and you'll have now free space. :thumbsup:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] movfan:
S2E works fine for me, i don't use freespace.

Look in the app settings , or the storage how much space is left.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ovu85:
hi, i'm having problems with enabeling data conections on Jb rom.

Any new updates in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
LPCA, use Link2SD. Much better IMHO and devs say it's the only one app they support, others use at your own risk only.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LPCA:
my opinion is that Link2SD is visibly inferior. i've used it in the past, and no matter how much it gets updated, it's the same disapointment for me, because it's just the design it was built with. not changing it's design will mean it will always be less featurefull than S2E

key differences:

- can't move everything, mainly can't move application cache, and most importantly, application data and dalvik cache which occupies the most space on any android setup

- has to autorun with Android to be able to mount applications and has to autorun when installing/uninstalling apps to be able to automove/remove apps, causing problems in low end system

caveats:

- not all Android distros will recognize it, just the same as with S2E, so at boot up, after system is loaded, then Link2SD runs and loads whats missing - causing chaos among applications that alter other applications (autoruns for example) or depend on these being stored in second partiton

- FAT32 partition is known for its problems, like removing sdcard without dismounting, causing data loss, and no linux permissions being supported. since its the default filesystem, and ext2/3/4 isn't supported on all distros, like mentioned above, you get a half-baked system

S2E in the other end, as soon as you configure it on first run, it won't require user intervention anymore, nor need to be run. and at any times, you can move apps back to system memory

for other features not present in S2E like converting apps, clearing caches, etc... theres proper comprehensive maintenance apps for that, like Genesis, ROM Toolbox, etc

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

right now i have it working almost at 100%

Freespace / df report:

/data - 79MB used, 99MB free, 178MB total

/sd-ext - 721MB used, 1200MB free, 1921MB total

/system - 195MB used, 10MB free, 206MB total

S2E setup:

applications in /sd-ext/app - OK:good:

private applications in /sd-ext/app/private - OK:good:

application data in /sd-ext/data - NOT ENABLED:confused:

dalvik cache in /sd-ext/dalvik-cache - OK:good:

with this setup i'm currently able to install and update apps.

the problem might therefor be on data, which when its being handled by S2E, is stored in /sd-ext and causes Play Store or Android to not found the directory or get a proper free disk space info from it
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bdasmith:
I disagree.

The Beauty of Link2sd is that all the system apps and their repective data and dalvik cache remain on internal memory for optimal speed. on any ROM that has init.d, the second partition can be mounted as ext 2/3 or 4.

yes, you can't move the the data at all, but that is good because thats where things would slow down, but you can certainly move the app and dalvik cache and lib files of any of the user installed apps.

Once set to autolink apps, dalvik cache and lib files, Link2sd no longer requires any user intervention either.

Link2sd also includes many other options that I don't have time to list.

In my opinion, Link2sd IS the better option.

Your Freespace report is exactly what mine is with Link2sd, and i have left some user apps, such as swiftkey 3, autostarts, titanium backup and others on /data as they respond alot quicker there.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LPCA:
with S2E, the system apps also remain in system memory (only user apps and all content in /data can be moved).

regarding performance issues, a good class 10 or better card can minimize impact. if that is not enough, dalvik caches and/or application data can be left on system memory at /data.

(you can choose which individual parts get in /sd-ext, including applications, data and caches)

regarding init.d, that is the same case as with S2E - pretty much none or close to none stock firmware.

regarding user intervention -- with the version i tested, there were often cases of apps that would not get in sdcard partition automatically when installing, or would go back to /data as soon as they were updated, plus if the partition was in FAT32, many (most) wouldn't function because of bundled widgets and other reasons -- examples of that are facebook, google+ and other large apps. i found myself wasting a lot of time, very often, dealing with such problems. in this realm, S2E is a one-click, forge solution.

while with L2SD you can achieve better performance by selecting exactly what goes in where (micro-management), it's counter-productive as you waste a lot of time. the macro-management of S2E is one of it's best features. that and not having the cross issues that can arise with L2SD that i referred above.

back to S2E and CM9/10...

the freespace report i illustrated was just to accompany S2E report for the purpose of debugging, not for comparison with L2SD. they probably look the same once you get all stuff save for app data in the second partition.

everything seems to be working fine, as long as i don't move /data/data to /sd-ext/data. for now it suffices, as i have enough free space. but i will look into it further and try to discover the cause.
