I think he's referring to RAM not ROM. Which is still pointless anyways. Android doesn't manage RAM like windows, OP. Having your RAM full actually helps speed and battery life contrary to what most people believe. Having apps stay in RAM keeps them in a frozen state that allows them to be opened much faster and use less battery life than starting apps fresh every time. The only thing you have to worry about is an app staying in RAM that is using CPU cycles, because that is what burns more battery. When well written apps stay in RAM, they aren't using CPU cycles and therefore don't really use any battery. Android manages RAM very well, so don't worry about it.

Also, OP...3 new threads in a stretch of what, 2 hours? C'mon man. That's just cluttering the forums up. If you have a question about a ROM, ask it in the q&a thread for that specific ROM, or in blackstar's case, in the ROM thread because that's where I believe bigfau wants his questions. Don't post a new thread for a question that can be asked elsewhere please. You should really only start a new question thread if there is no q&a thread started already, or if you can post in the dev thread like blackstar. Thanks.

It's system ROM.. When you open titanium backup, look at the bottom where it shows where all your resources are being used

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
In that case its just the size of the ROM. Since black star is tw based, the size is much larger than anything aosp based. All of the jb ROMs are aosp based. Not much you can do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
why don't you just delete the bloatware to slim it down?....that's what I did...in fact I deleted maybe 10-20 things...Blackstar is a very nice rom...fast and completely stable!!!

After deleting bloatware your phone will run even a bit faster....research for bloatware and see what's safe to delete or freeze using titanium backup..that's what I did :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Stock my Gnex was a rocket, but after I started ROMing it is a laggy MESS. I do a clean wipe on each ROM install, but even before I load up any apps it stutters like crazy. The nav buttons can take seconds to respond, swiping through home screens jerks really bad.

Currently I am running the latest CM10 nightly JB rom, but it acts this way on any ROM I have tried. It seems to be a file system issue...the lag feels like the lag you get when you update a lot of market apps all at the same time...except all the time. Opening Google now can take up to 30 seconds on a clean install.

Any ideas on what may be going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eternitys:
Suggestion-1: Flash stock once again and check whether the same happens. If the same happens again you may contact for phone replacement.

Suggestion-2: Try Wiping cache and Dalvik cache in CWM and reboot. Many times this has helped my phone to work fast.

Suggestion-3: There are many other ROMs around. Try them out.

I am not an expert to suggest you. But hope above works. :) Hope any more suggestions come up for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
I have tried every popular ROM out, and wipe data and all cache on every install. They all act exactly the same. I really think there is some kind of bandwidth issue on the system partition. Maybe the flash storage has degraded? I will try flashing it back to stock to see if that would makes aay kind of difference.

I had been planning to RMA it anyway because of some major screen burn in issues...but was trying not to because I bought it through Letstalk, so I need to deal directly with Samsung for a replacement...which means being without a phone for a week or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irizwan:
I believe prior to flashing you should do data wipe cache and wipe System also :/ don't know if you've tried that it's under mounts and storage in CWM =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
I just setup a Samsung RMA for the screen issue. Hopefully they simply give me a refurb instead of repairing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
logcat, df, dmesg and in this case, maybe a 0xbench math/vm test or it didnt happen.

not sure how a custom rom would be slower than stock.

i dont think its hw issue, or stock would suffer from the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
My apologies, I wasn't clear. I meant that the device worked great while it was stock, but now it runs like crap. Custom ROMs may or may not have anything to do with that which is why I mentioned it. I will say that the stock-ish JB leaks ran flawlessly, while the ICS custom ROMs I was running before ran like crap. After I moved off the JB leaks to custom JB ROMs it started to run like crap again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
I thought I'd update this in case anyone else has ever had a similar issue. As I was preparing the device to be sent back to Samsung for a screen defect, I flashed the stock 4.1.1 factory image, and locked the bootloader. It feels like a completely new device..flying faster than I have ever seen it go.

I do not know why this resolved my issues and a wipe data/clear cache never did. Maybe encrypting the bootloader did something to the file system a normal wipe data doesn't? But then again the JB leak seemed to run well too if memory serves..so I just don't know.

Now that it is running properly for the first time in months...I really cannot stand sending it back and being without it while waiting for the repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldrazor:
Cm10 issue same happens to me

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
It did it on ICS ROMS too, but now that i think about it every ROM I have tried was based off CM9 or 10. Either way it's on the way back to Samsung now (for screen problems) so hopefully the next one doesn't have this odd issue.

Hi there. I've updated my GNex to 4.1.1 (GSM version) and at the very beginning everything was superb. But after some time, my GNex starts to lag. And under "lags" I mean home screen freezing.

When I'm using some programs and after that I pressing a home button and immediately switch to the next home screen - its freezing and switching to the next home screen like in the slideshow.

I've used CM10 jelly bro and AOKP nightlybuilds - and they doesnt solute my problems.

If someone had this problem and already got reed of it - can you say me the ways of solution? Thanks.

Btw,excuse my for my English. If I wrote something wrong - try to understand it,or ask me about it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
No lags here...

Could be an app you have installed using a lot of memory.

Also perhaps try custom kernels, I recommend AK currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firewalker551:
Can you gimme a link to download that kernel?

And about apps - stock apps like contacts and messages.

I dunno what's wrong with your phone but I don't have the same issues.

if you don't like it, get a new phone and leave us be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Rule of thumb: factory reset when updating between actually os updates like ics-jb . Allows for a better experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
Get an iPhone, no lag
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
You didn't specify which iPhone, so your argument is invalid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
this is so untrue..

I have seen tons of lag on people's iphones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AshtonTS:
The only time I have seen lag on an iPhone is if it's jailbroken. Also, my iPad doesn't lag. Then again, GB and ICs didn't have huge lag issues for me either, so maybe I just don't see it much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
lol I think you guys think I was serious... I wasn't, yes I do realize iPhones lag

Use stock CM10 and aokp some times have lag trouble or try surface flinger

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MadManMoon:
Wondering if there has been any confirmation that the Verizon Galaxy Note II will be Global (GSM) Ready? Google and forum searches are inconclusive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gahh Its Lee:
All verizon lte phones are global now I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
I realize it is always dangerous to rely on anything you hear form the Verizon salespeople but I have heard from several that what you just wrote is incorrect. Some of their phones are and others are not according to those spoke to and they do not know yet whether or not the Note 2 will be a global phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
Has anyone heard definitively yet whether or not the Verizon Note 2 will be global and unlocked so that you can put in a foreign sim card when overseas like you can do with the Razrs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
global

yes it is global, I saw it on their website
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Care to point out where you saw it? I looked on VZW's site, and they don't have any of the network capabilities posted there yet, and Samsung's site for the VZW Note II has the incorrect info posted for network connectivity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IvanNCase:
It says it on verizons site if you go to the phone's page when shopping but not on the big info page you go to if you click the add on there homepage. Also when I pre-ordered mine it asked if I wanted global set up on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Thanks. Why would anyone ever think that a HUGE picture on the homepage of VZW would take you to an actual device listing and not a different page that looks like a device listing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
My question is does "global" mean that you can use it abroad using Verizon's sim card and paying Verizon's global roaming rates or does "global" mean the sim card is unlocked and the phone with recognize a foreign sim card when overseas so you can pay the much lower local rates? The Razr's can do the latter but I have yet to make sure iot is also true for the Note 2. That is a HUGE difference for anyone who spends a significant amount of time out of Verizon's service areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If it isn't SIM unlocked, you should be able to call in to VZW and request a SIM unlock code assuming you meet not-so-strict prerequisites.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WERUO:
Very thanks to you all the news, looking forward to your update again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
the sprint one is global...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggity Janx:
And there's always the possibility it will just be gsm unlocked by the community as in the case of the Verizon GS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drknight01:
i think it possible because galaxy s3 was unlocked and work on global????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Verizon's S3 doesn't officially have global capabilities yet. They said it would be updated to be capable, but that has yet to happen. My guess is that it will come with the Jelly Bean update, whenever that drops.

Verizon's Note 2 will be global out of the box, and like all other LTE devices released on Verizon so far, it will be unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Just so we are clear, you mean all the other global capable LTE devices right? (I can think of several phones off the top of my head that did not support anything but LTE/CDMA)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Even the non-global devices are SIM unlocked for LTE use (although, due to differences in used bands from network to network, and in technologies used for voice, it's pretty much a moot point). So technically, every LTE device that has been released on Verizon has been unlocked, regardless of GSM capabilties. That's why I differentiated between the two in my post - 1) Verizon's Note 2 will be global out of the box, and 2) like all other LTE devices released on Verizon so far, it will be unlocked.

An unlocked SIM slot for LTE means by default that it's also unlocked for GSM if the device has a GSM radio that's enabled. That's really what I was getting at - all Verizon LTE devices are SIM unlocked (regardless of what hardware radios they actually have), so in turn, any that have enabled GSM capabilities will be GSM unlocked as well. There certainly are a few Verizon LTE devices that don't have a GSM radio (such as the Galaxy Nexus), and they're not capable of global use. They're still SIM unlocked though, but just for LTE.

So, all Verizon LTE devices are SIM unlocked, but not all Verizon LTE devices have GSM capabilities. Any Verizon LTE device that does have enabled GSM capabilities will be SIM unlocked for GSM use. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Gotcha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wildta:
I wonder if the SIM slot on VZW's version will be accessible unlike Sprint's version which is global but inaccessible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
No, it won't be sealed like Sprint's. Sprint is the only U.S. carrier who seals their SIM cards in. Verizon does not do this. You'll be able to remove and replace the SIM card freely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloud_9:
is anybody can confirm this? I mean, is it truly we can insert SIM card freely? not like sprint's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
You have full access to the SIM card slot on the Verizon version. It's not sealed like Sprint's is. No Verizon LTE phone has had a sealed SIM. Sprint is the only carrier doing that for some odd reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Superguy:
Yes, but is it SIM locked or are we locked on to Vodafone's network internationally? And can you readily switch between GSM and CDMA out of the box?

Verizon scares me a bit with these "world capable phones." A lot of their phones these days are capable but never get promised updates. Rezound is still waiting for theirs (officially anyway).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Every other Verizon LTE phone with enabled GSM capabilities has been unlocked out of the box. I don't see why they'd start locking things down with the Note 2 (especially when very recent high profile exclusive releases like the DNA and RAZR HD/MAXX HD are unlocked).

And the only LTE phones that are capable that haven't been enabled yet are the Rezound and Galaxy S3. The S3 will be enabled with the upcoming Jelly Bean update. Every other LTE device with GSM capabilities has either been released with the functionality working or has had an update to enable it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
From what I hear on the RAZR HD front, while the phone will accept any SIM out of the country it will not work on a domestic GSM network. Unlike the DNA, which appears to work on AT&T and T-Mobile fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Yeah, most Verizon devices with unlocked GSM capabilities only work with GSM carriers outside of the U.S. The DNA is an exception (and an odd exception given its exclusive status on Verizon).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Superguy:
Cool thanks. This was a concern for me as I travel internationally for work. I'm currently on AT&T with a GS3, but will pick this up tonight my fiancee and I are merging our accounts to Verizon.

My only experience on VZW was with the Rezound, and well, using it abroad hasn't been an option so I didn't know if it could be easily changed to GSM mode or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
If you take the verizon note 2 out of the country and is unlocked, and used on a carrier somewhere in the UK, will it be running on the GSM network in the UK or CDMA? If the verizon note is a legitimate GSM phone in which it can be used any where in the world like T-mobile's note 2 pentaband version?

is the verizon note 2 pentaband?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
At this point there does not seem to be a way to enter APN numbers into the Verizon version of the Note 2. Even though it is unlocked and could be used for voice with a foreign sim card, it would not be able to be used to access data even on 3G unless you could direct the phone to the APN of the local carrier. I sure hope someone comes up with a (preferable non root) solution to this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yeyoman:
Root the phone and add the APNs to the/system/etc/apns-onf.xml file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
Is there an APN file around that already has most APNs? What program/editor do you use th add APNs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I think there is an app called APN Manager that will do this for you? I could be wrong but that is what I used to put gsm sims in my S3....?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
I looked at the apn-config file on the Verizon Note II and it only has a handful of APNs which are all for Verizon. Maybe we can get our hands on the Apn-config file from the Droid DNA and put in on our note.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
I've never rooted a phone and am afraid I might brick my phone trying to do so. I did try to use an app called APN global to enter the APN's on my non-rooted Note 2 and it didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
Ya, I am pretty sure you need to be rooted and then convert the app I mentioned into a system app using Titanium Backup.... That was how I did it on my S3 and I was able to use T-mobile on it but it was 2g of course...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ibmman69:
I am in Egypt right now w/ a Note 2 I purchased at full price right before I left. I can confirm the Vodafone SIM will work to make phone calls but gives a message that a non-Verizon SIM is inserted. I called VZW very pissed off and was told the problem was I have an iSIM from Vodafone and the phone requires a uSIM. I compared the two SIMs and the structure of them is different, but I believe the real problem is the APN issue discussed above. I'm in the process of downloading root image and will try to update the APN after I have that installed. I'll report back on my success. VZW will do something about this when I return because I was told before I left that I could use any SIM in this phone without a problem. I am very, very, upset with VZW and this may be the last straw for me. It is a complete misrepresentation to say the phone is a world phone, unlocked, etc., but block the menu necessary to make all the functions work. I'm so sick of the games VZW plays with its customers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndyRoss:
This might be completely wrong, but after a conversation with VZW global support, I was told you had to switch the phone to GSM mode. In case you haven't done this yet:

Settings->Wireless and Network->More Settings->Mobile networks->Network mode->GSM/UMTS.

Per this rep, "Global" mode is for Verizon data roaming only. Might be worth a shot, since this doesn't require root or any additional .apks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] textron:
I saw someone selling one on Ebay claiming it worked on AT&T with a bad ESN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ibmman69:
I already tried that. The fact is they've locked out the APN modification just like they did on the SIII.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
An underhanded way of trying to get around the requirement that their LTE devices be unlocked. The phone is technically unlocked, but they won't give us the access we need in order to fully use the unlocked state of the device, because Verizon wants us to roam on their SIM and pay outrageous data prices.

I didn't have any plans to root the phone, but this changes that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
Got it working on AT&T.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joderme:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joderme:

Did you do any other modifications or the phone was unlocked out of the box?
