Is it slow everywhere or in a specific application?

Check what filesystems are you using for /data and /cache partitions -- converting them also to EXT4 gives a performance boost in some scenarios, including screen rotation speed in most apps.

RE: [ROM][09-03-13][Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[17]

Is it possible to nandroid backup, convert to ext4 and then restore the backup or would it become incompatible? Only my /system is ext4 atm, rest is ext3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
It's possible. I did a backup, edited fsinfo file which is created within the backup files, and then restored it back.

But there's a lot easier way to do this (and I didn't know about this until now :D ): in 4EXT Recovery (I think most of you are familiar with it), you can select "tools > convert or change a backup to EXT4 > convert DATA" and "convert CACHE" options. It will do a migration in one click.

Since I got my Nexus 4 now, thought I would flash the 4.0+ ROM's for my old G2.

Any tips for speeding this ROM up? Ive tried the other JB ROMs and its pretty much the same, a bit faster on AOSP ones but less settings. Extremely laggy opening apps and rotating screen. Think Im missing something in settings.

So far I have it OC to 1.5ghz. Have all the RAM settings checked in the Performance settings (ZRam and etc). This is a fresh install with all my apps loaded (56 apps). Im using Kbreezie's SD-EXT Enabler though. Its 2X as slow as the latest CM7 Nightly clocked at 806mhz (with more apps loaded and similar settings). There has to be some secret from those guys running this as a DD.

Also my number is shown as "Unknown" in about phone and my voicemail number is not setup for Tmobile. Anyone have these issues? Both work on my Nexus 4 and G2 with GB ROMs, so its not the SIM card.

RE: [ROM][09-03-13][Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[17]

Firstly follow NeverGone's advice above, extremely helpful, now my screen rotations are lovely and smooth (thanks very much NG) don't forget to thanks him. Now go to dev options, make sure Max BG processes is set to 2 or 3, also force GPU rendering and 4xMSAA. Next go to performance settings, disable all dithering, enable 16bit transparency, and allow purge able assets and KSM.

Use the swap enabler to use apps to sd-ext (I don't use memory swap though) this makes an enormous visible difference.

I also use zeppelinrox's KAK, I'm using the row I/O scheduler.

***edit*** sorry didn't see you're already using swap enabler and have looked at performance settings. I think my advice still stands however, and also I wouldn't use zram. ***/edit***
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Oh Im well aware of formatting partitions in EXT4, no newbie here been with the G2 and its community for 2+ years.;)

The only thing I didn't do of what you mentioned was setting background processes to 2 and enabling 16bit transparency. Thanks.

Edit: I also didnt install V6 Supercharger and KAK yet. I tried it on a previous build and it made things slower. On GB ROMs it worked perfectly.

Edit: Looks like 16bit transparency messed things up. Lock screen off to the right side and everything garbled up. NVM reboot fixed it.

Anyone else seeing this? Been having this issue on the past couple builds. Not sure if it's caused by transfering files to/from thru usb or something else, I have 92 gigs free when seeing this. Whats weird is it only happens when I sideload a app thru the play store it installs no problem.

I'm not sure... as it didn't work for me, I must have it wrong.

I've edited the file 'build.prop' (that is in the /system foder), and added 'sys.mem.max_hidden_apps=3' as a last line. Then rebooted and sadly no limit set under dev options. I haden't find PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES so I guess I did not do what was supposed to work.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
It shouldn't change a limit in Settings. This Dev Settings option is designed to alter the default value, which is loaded from max_hidden_apps. So you're editing a "default" background processes limit.

It works, you just didn't notice :P

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

It was my change :)

I really didn't like that unnoticeable-but-still-noisy vibration (moreover, the vibration motor in my Vision became squeaky for some reason :mad:), so I decided to increase the vibration length from 30 msec to 50.

To change this value, you need to decompile framework-res.apk and change values/config.xml:

<integer-array name="config_virtualKeyVibePattern">
<item>50</item>
</integer-array>

the number is a vibration length in milliseconds.

Maybe one day I'll code a tool to change the vibration strength without modifying framework-res, but not that soon :)

Hi!

I'm posting this because something extrange has been detected and I would be great that other users try it and post here his results...

1- When I installed the ROM (clear install) the GPS signal delayed a lot...but finally I got signal. Two days later the GPS signal won't work (I try the EFS utility to wipe cache GPS and nothing)....and suddenly yesterday it woked perfectly and so quickly...It's so extrange...

2-Yesterday I make my first video with this ROM (make videos is not very important for me) and It only has recorded the sound and the image were not correct, the image seems like codified. Later I try to make another video and It simply doesn't work, it doesn't record anything...but some time later it works perfectly another time...

Go in Wifi settings and uncheck "notify me of open networks" (not sure what it is exactly in english)

Ok, thanks ! Do you know what the real default limit is?

In dev settings you can only set it to 4 max, so I wonder as my gf has a nexus4... (with 2gig of RAM the device could afford a lot more, 8 or 10?!)

BTW, I like the new vibration delay !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asp2010:
I don't think there's actually a default limit. At least some time ago, Android used to clean up cached apps when there were more than 15 of them, even if there was still free RAM (which I don't think ever happened, though), but this doesn't apply to services (tasks running in the background without the user's aid). Your best option on such a high-end device is to just leave the system decide when it needs to free up space, and do it the way it finds best. Imposing an artificial limit will not only not bring you any benefit, but will make your experience worse, since you make it destroy stuff it doesn't need to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
You're right -- the default background apps limit is set to 15 :)

Re: [ROM][09-03-13][Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[17]

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
I suppose you've tried different headsets

if this does not happen while on speaker then your headphone socket may be faulty, overtime moisture builds up on the contacts of the headphone socket causing music to skip and headphone to constantly disconnect and reconnect, you can try cleaning the socket using some spirit, once the contacts are clean you can try again, at any rate it wont hurt to try.

Well, this is the Vision thread, but,

I feel like it's definitely getting better and better, but the performance is still far, far short of Andromadus on ICS/CM9, which is the fastest and smoothest I've ever seen this device run.

There are two outstanding problems that really stick out with me, and the first is Google apps, which seem to take ages to load and are often very slow.. Downloading something from the market practically freezes the phone while it installs... Like you mentioned, Google Now loads slowly, but so does Gmail. It's like the JellyBean Google Apps are built assuming more horsepower (and specifically RAM) than the Vision has. I absolutely do not have these problems with any other apps (except games, which is perhaps more understandable).

The other is waking the device from sleep, which is still sometimes hit-and-miss, especially if you're resuming into a heavy game of Angry Birds or somesuch.

Like I said, it's getting better and better, but I'm not sure we'll ever reach ICS levels of performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
I get the same freezing effect with CM7.2, so it's not a ICS/JB issue (unfortunately).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
There is no single option. You have to do it contact by contact. Either remove photos or replace them with low res pictures. You can do it on a phone or in Gmail web interface (if you sync contacts with Google).
