Hi, fgenari...

Never ever be afraid of voicing an opinion... no matter how 'stupid' you may feel it is. Sometimes a different perspective is needed to resolve a problem.

And a problem of another kind... is when surrounded with hugely experienced stalwarts, one feels naturally intimidated about speaking up... I would never have considered Trebuchet as being a cause of the reported lag, primarily 'cos I've never used Trebuchet (I'm a fully paid up Apex man:)).

But now, I've learned something as result of your question... thanks to osm0sis...

renice

... in terminal emulator... I've no idea what this means, or what it does... but I have every intention of finding out.

On a wider note....

Some random ruminations on r63/64

r64 is ridiculously smooth - (as was it's immediate predecessor, r63 - but I didn't get chance to post my opinion on that, before r64 came along!)

Anyway... no problems here, on my Cyanogenmod based ROM running Apex launcher... r64 just works. And deliciously so:).

----------------------------------

Although I have just bought franco's updater app, I use this procedure for flashing...

In recovery (TWRP in my case), run

osm0sis f.Ku Emergency Settings Reset Zip

. This guarantees the clearing out of any garbage...

Flash franco's kernel... in the same TWRP session.

Reboot.

It's a bit more time consuming (around 4 minutes - all that 'Android is Upgrading - Optimising app [x] of 207' stuff is pretty tedious)... but it's worth it to know you have a CLEAN install of franco's latest masterpiece!:).

----------------------------------

On the weird touchscreen issues...

In a word (or three)... VANISHED, VANQUISHED... and GONE!

I'm a big fan of Temple Run and recently purchased

Temple Run Oz

, which runs at a more frenetic pace than Temple Run 2... and accurate and precisely timed touch screen swipes are necessary to make any progress in the game.

With the test builds, r999v1 and r999v2, this wasn't possible (touchscreen was all over the place!), so I went back to r61osmod - but even then, there was occasional staccato like behaviour.

So back on r48 for a few days... until r62 came along... which I eyed with dubious suspicion... but the accolades heaped upon r63 eventually convinced me, and I made a leap of faith... and I flashed it.

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!:(. (Temple Run Oz now runs without problems.)

The sublime smoothness of r64 makes r48 'feel' like sticky treacle!

However...the viscosity free nature:) (ie, not treacle) of r64 DOES carry a battery price penalty... with r48, (one core online, whilst idling), I can get around 7.5 hours screen time... with r64 (two cores online, whilst idling) it's around 6 hours screen time.

But I consider this a worthwhile tradeoff for iPad like smoothness.

----------------------------------

Android is a bit like buying flat pack furniture - 'some assembly required'...

And the effort in assembly is as every bit as rewarding as the achieved goal.

Thanks franco, for your continued efforts in perfecting this kernel (r64 is wonderful)... and the many experienced hands who facilitate him in that quest.

Right, I'll shut up now... less my natural loquaciousness extends this post by several more paragraphs.

Rgrds,

Ged.
