Don't bump threads on XDA - read the damn rules. Especially don't bump just because you've not had an answer in four hours - people here aren't paid to help you, they do this for free when they get a break from Real Life (TM). If you want an immediate answer then send me your bank details and I'll charge you £100 per hour for my consultancy, otherwise show some respect and patience. :rolleyes:

Read the thread (especially the OP) for your ROM - see what it says about wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache - although that is normally a minimum requirement. If an update is the same ROM then it is not, usually, necessary to wipe data - but check your ROMs thread.

And if you want to backup and restore then search on those terms, or on Titanium backup - but also check your ROMs thread as sometime you can only restore certain things unless you want to risk the stability of your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] TeeJay3800:
Yes, questions like this should be asked in your ROM's thread, or at the very least include some device and ROM info in the OP. Thread closed.
[HTC Desire V] kiwiandy:
I purchased a Desire V a couple of months ago when it was released, because im a frequent traveller, and the Dual sim capability along with 3G made this the perfect solution for travelling.

When I am at home I use a HTC One S. Maybe I am too used to the superb performance of my HTCoS.. but i am increasingly frustrated with the extremely slow and laggy performance of the Desire V.

I would like to install a vanilla rom (ideally a CM rom) so that I can get some reasonable performance from this phone.. as I guess that Sense 4 is slowing it down too much.

It surprising that there is no dedicated forum on here for the Desire V... and a lack of any ROM cooking activity... what do I need to do to get this fixed?
[HTC Desire V] bigjimmy546:
totally agree with you, I switched from HTC Chacha + Xperia S to get this dual sim card Desire V, but it is so slow,

but seems like a custom ROM is unlikely as dual sim is not popular in US/Europe, where most developer are.
[HTC Desire V] DutchF:
The thread is a bit outdated but I'd still like to share my experiences on Desire V performance. The phone is not very fast but for me it's ok. Some actions may have a little delay but it doesn't annoy me. However, after a couple of weeks I noticed performance was deteriorating and single actions took seconds before they responded.

I found two solutions that may help in solving this issue:

1. Go to settings > power and uncheck 'fast boot'. Then reboot the phone. Starting up and shutting down takes a bit longer but performance should be ok now.

2.Completely drain your battery until the phone shuts down. Connect it to charge it and start the phone. Performance should be ok now.

Hope this helps for others that experience a slow Desire V.
[HTC Desire V] Rew64:
I've just tried this but don't see any immediate difference or improvement. I'll give it a bit of time and post back.
[HTC Desire V] RNL365:
Rooting resolved the lagging issue for me

Hi all.

I too bought a Desire V a few months back and was unpleasantly surprised by the lagging issues described above. However I rooted it as soon as a method was published (from a compadré here on XDA) which immediately fixed the problem.

It's been my everyday use phone since.

Obviously this is just my opinion and not an instruction that anyone else do the same. Goes without saying that you are responsible for your own actions/modifications.

@kiwiandy

Keeping things simple. Do the following and trust me your device will get usably faster without busting it's ass straightaway by using a custom rom.

1. Install Nova/Holo Launcher and use it as default. Apex is slow on our device. HTC sense is a RAM Hog.

2. Disable all animations from Developer options. You can use animations in Nova or Holo launcher.

3. Disable Fastboot in Power settings.

4. Avoid registering into any HTC services.

5. Disable Show Me and Weather in Accounts and Sync. They are useless without Sense. Try and use 3rd party low animation applications.

All these will ensure a better performance and battery backup.

Goodluck and enjoy your device. Let me know if it feels great.

Regards,

kyinx

Thanks for the suggestions, will give them a try.
[HTC Desire V] manaskb:
Here are a few things I tried, and at the end of the exercise I find a smooth lag free Desire V.

1. Root the device (and lose warranty) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077774

2. Remove any default app that you don't need, e.g. - 7digital, tunein, G+, facebook etc. These apps auto start and eat up precious ram. Idea is to make the ROM as light as possible. I used Rom Tool Box Pro to remove the apps, there are other tools as well.
​

After step, I saw much more free RAM and lag was much reduced. At this point I flashed a custom ROM which anyway did step #2. Similar lag continued to show even with the custom ROM.

3. Now create a swap file, I used Swapper2; you will find it in Pay Store.
​

There is improvement, still not much gain. My HTC Pico Explorer was way smoother.

4. Finally, installed Seeder 2.0 (find it here). Started the Seeder service, left it in default setting.
​

At this stage, the Desire V started behaving smooth with very little lag. I have push mail running on the device, now when I open a email the text display instantly with no lag. The Phone dialer and the contact and the messaging opens with little or no lag.

Any combination of #1-4 may have helped getting rid of the lag significantly. While it is still not as smooth as my SGS3 running AKOP 4.2.2, but the gains were noticeable. I completed the exercise only a few hours back, cant say how this will affect the battery. Also note that I have NOT disabled any animation.

[General Questions and Answers] phreak24:
Here we go: I installed STOCK 4.1.1 from Google. Did it make me happy? You'll be the judge...

The SMS bug is still present: when you use a number already stored as a contact, the area code mysteriously disappears and SMS fails due to invalid phone number. But this is just minor stuff compare to something else: at a certain point I was unable to install 5.26 MB Titanium backup due to 'insufficient storage available' (I still have around 12GB free out of 16GB on my Galaxy Nexus). Does it make any sense?

I did some research online and it seems it is a known problem for many months already, and there are articles about how to fix it in '8 easy steps'.

You've gotta be kidding... I ain't doing no 8 steps! Installing a program from Google play is something as basic as it can get, and as a consumer I'm not willing to fix major bugs myself! I still can't understand why I was sold an early beta OS as properly functional program without any warning. I want my money back! (I doubt it's possible though...) I'm in the process of being born again... as an Apple 'fan boy'. Can't recall any bug at all (even minor) for 1.5 years of using iPhone 4.

Google, get real: hire QA team to test your OS before it is released to consumers - I'm not being paid for doing a job of your software tester! You have all the resources in the world to do so...
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
That titanium backup problem is isolated on only ti backup and no other apps.

I had the same problem and I had to wait for titanium track to update it.

SMS problem has got to be a device specific issue, never had any problem like that and neither has the majority of Android users.
[General Questions and Answers] phreak24:
I hope that's the case with Titanium backup only...we'll see...

When it comes to SMS bug 'to be a device specific issue', well, the device is GOOGLE Nexus, and obviously on this phone one would expect device specific issues less than on any other Android. That's exactly my point: Google doesn't bother with proper QA testing prior to release, any we can not blame phone manufacturer in this case as the phone belongs to Google as much as to Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
No i mean device specific as in your device only specific, not all galaxy nexii

And titanium backup just updated today, perfect timing :D
[General Questions and Answers] brunnels1:
You cant be serious with the whole cant remember apple having bugs stuff. Apple is notorious for pushing out updates and phones full of bugs, remember when the iphone 4 came out and they had to give everyone a free case to solve the phones terrible antenna problems? I used to use the iphone and every software update was full of bugs and problems, and i even had to jailbreak the phone just to get around some of the issues.
[General Questions and Answers] phreak24:
OK, here is an update: I have to disappoint you - 'insufficient storage' issue is not related to just Titanium backup. It may effect absolutely any application you are trying to install or update (even auto-update). Rom manager can't update itself due to this error. I was not able to install 'world clock' and it goes on and on and on... This is the major bug users have been reporting at least from the beginning of 2012 and Google doesn't give a **** about it. But it still releases new OS without even bothering to address major issues with a previous one.

When it comes to SMS issue mentioned above: the suggestion that it's just my phone affected is ridiculous - it's obviously a software issue, not hardware. I checked with my friend who used to own Galaxy Nexus and he reported exactly the same SMS bug!

Android may be an open source, but Android cellphones are not free and can be quite pricey. So I don't see any excuse for Google to come up with their own phone (Galaxy Nexus) with lousy hardware (which can be partially blamed on Samsung) and as lousy OS (which can not be blamed on anybody but Google).

Besides that, Galaxy Nexus is poorly designed from hardware perspective, and plastic toy look and feel and touch screen sensitivity is not the major problem. The volume buttons are so easy to press by accident when holding the phone that you have to adjust volume all the time for no obvious reason. This is the most inconvenient phone I've ever had. It's really funny to read reviews comparing Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4: how can you compare fully functional well designed product with an early stages prototype which needs to be worked on a lot before any commercial release? It's really time for some class action lawsuit against Google for deliberate fraud. Can't wait to dump Android alltogether if iPhone 5 supports AWS frequencies.

Wanam has created an LG9 ROM.

But I'd say it's probably because developers have real lives and real jobs outside of XDA, and only do this in their spare time. Just because something came out recently doesn't mean there'll be a rebased ROM within the hour.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmahon:
I've been running the GHarmony ICS ROMs for a while, and have really been loving the 1.5 release. Super excited to try 1.6, but no matter what I do, it won't boot past the birds. (Trust me, I mean NO MATTER WHAT - I've tried everything anyone suggested anywhere that I could find, I asked anyone that would give me any suggestions. Nothing has worked.)

I'm not sure if it's some abnormality in my hardware or the changes in the ROM - I was hoping maybe to get some advice or at least commiseration here...

Is anyone else using this ROM?

If so, is anyone else having this problem?

if so if so, has anyone figured out a workaround or a fix?

I could switch to a different ROM (most others have worked with no problem) but in my experience, this is the best ICS I've used on this tablet...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clymerrm:
I'm in the exact same boat.

I had been using flashback for the past few months and loving it. However over the last few weeks, it had gotten to a point where I felt like playing around with what is out there and decided to move to g-harmony.

After running the nvflash file and installing (which work perfectly) the most i can get is a black screen after the birds that just sits there and does nothing.

I just reinstalled flashback with no problem at all on the gtablet.

Really looking forward to using g-harmony but need help.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmahon:
Can you get any version of GHarmony to work? What process did you follow to nvflash and do your install?

I was able to get earlier versions (pre-1.6) by following the raywaldo instructions first (the "nvflash for dummies" ones, but they were recommended to move to an ICS ROM), and they went on perfectly, no problems.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clymerrm:
much enencgres

I have not. However, point me to 1.5 and i'll give it a shot.

I did just give 120 a shot however and got excited because the birds were flashing more than before, but same results, a black screen going nowhere.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmahon:
Yeah, I'd like to know if your problem is with all of t hem, or just w/ the latest (like mine).

I can't include an external link here, so check your PM - I'll send it there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clymerrm:
Sorry, looks like mine is a different issue. Just puts me in an endless reboot to the birds stage. I tried nvflashing the 250 mb again. I even tried the 300mb on raywaldo and still, the same result.

And even though i didnt want to go to the drh rom, i gave it a shot to see what would happen there. Same result, just a loop through the birds and then the black screen making it look like something is loading but nothing is happening.

Went back and installed flashback again, no problems at all. Booted up perfectly the first time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmahon:
So GHarmony 1.5 just gives you the endless reboot to the birds? If so, that's what I get. The birds, then a quick flash, then back to the birds.

The 300MB version didn't help me either. Neither did any of the diagnostic techniques anyone suggested anywhere.

I did get stuck in a loop last night where I went from the birds to a black screen, after I nvflashed something. I was able to get out of it after nvflashing something different. It looked just like APX mode, except it didn't respond to commands.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clymerrm:
Exactly what i'm getting.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clymerrm:
So i had gotten excited. After getting flashback running, i decided to download all of the g-harmony files again and give it another go. Figured something happened with the download of the files.

Run nvflash again, wipe cache, reboot into tnt, worked great.

Fresh download of 1.6, installed no problems at all.

Power off.

Birds show up for about 2-3 seconds and then just a black screen. Not apx mode since you can tell the screen is still on, but just blackness on the screen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmahon:
So similar, but not quite the same as what I'm getting. I don't know what the problem is, It's weirdest that there's no hint of a problem anywhere. All the installs go fine, the tablet will boot before I install the ROM or after I restore it back, and I even checked all my partitions and made sure they're the same size, with no bad blocks (that I could find) or anything else that might gum things up.

I haven't seen anything else in the topic about the ROM itself that suggests others are having issues, so I don't really know what a next step should be.

So I came across this article today http://m.engadget.com/2012/05/10/htc-one-x-remote-camera-shutter-bluetooth-headsets/?CG01 and it says that the One X has this little feature that allows you to use certain bluetooth headsets as a wireless camera shutter button. This peaked my interest, so I found my old Motorola H505 headset and gave it a shot. And surprisingly it worked with my EVO 4G LTE! All you have to do is pair the headset with the phone, enter the camera app, and click the phone key on your bluetooth.

First of all, when you're booting and see the Google logo, look at the bottom of it and see if you see any unlock sign (lock that is unlocked)

For ROM, it's really your choice. I personally am in love with aokp black bean ROM, but battery is pretty average.

For kernel, trinity is best in my opinion. Not only it has great battery life, if you buy tool app from play store, it gives you do many customization that you need :)
