[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
i had the same thing happening on every rom/ kernel i tried .

and i also noticed that the cpu usage spikes to 100% for the time the device locks up.

i also noticed unusual high cpu usage whenever i/o was happening.

so i finally returned to stock and have not had any lock ups yet and the cpu never goes to 100% during i/o. its also high, but not maxed out.

i also noticed this on other devices with custom roms which makes me believe that it has to do with some stuff that was changed in the rom or kernel.

i will stay on stock for some time to see if the lockup will come back because everybody tells me it will... so i will report back in a couple of days and let you know if it started to lag.

oh and i restored all apps with titan backup like i had them in the custom rom so this can not be the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
I can confirm the high CPU usage during the heavy i/o was happening. My phone would run cpu clock maxed, and then gets hot. One of the processes using a lot of CPU was System or System UI. I was also getting system ui crashes, without a error message though, it would just close and restart system UI by itself. When I checked battery stats showed Android_System which is System UI I believe.

I'm going to try again from scratch with a custom rom (one that was at one point not giving me problems xylon 16-1). This time i'm going to wipe everything including the internal SD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vvorth:
AFAIK dalvik cache is generating right after installing app. Its like boot time increases after wiping dalvik cache.

And if so - its might be CPU greedy =.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
I see, maybe there is something gone wrong with the dalvik cache or something (I have no clue about dalvik cache) :confused: Is there perhaps an upper limit to the number of apps where the dalvik cache gets full or too large that would cause this issue? I've wiped cache and dalvik cache quite often (when trying other kernels recently) and it didn't seem to help the issue.

I went ahead and wiped everything went back to stock 4.2.1, installed 50+ apps via the market, phone barely got warm, and everything continued smoothly no freezing or high cpu usage during this (normally have 175+ apps installed).

I will test restoring app my other apps via Titanium Backup on the stock ROM and see what happens. Will report back...

I don't think I will stay on the stock rom for much longer, there are quite a few tweaks in these custom roms that I'm missing. But I will keep testing for now.

Thanks,

EDIT: Restored my missing apps with titanium (total 104 user apps) and everything is still smooth, including when installing and uninstalling apps from the play store etc... Will wait and see if that changes though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] was1958:
Humm, I have the same terrible performance from Play Store. XENON HD Stable 4.0 and Franco kernel r364, although the problem goes back through many prior versions of this ROM and kernel.

I have almost 300 apps on the device, and Play Store seems to be the only one that kills the system. I'm also running the "seeder" app, which helped eliminate all other lag on the device FWIW.

A solution would be awesome, but for now, I just walk away from my comm dev and interact with the spousal unit. Strange, I know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
I should have updated earlier.

What I did was wipe everything including internal sd, then installed paranoid android rom, installed ak.Dummy kernel 673. Let the play store restore all my apps. Everything was smooth as hell almost 24hrs running so perfectly I was even running max cpu at 920mhz, everything was perfect until restoring some last remaining apps with titanium backup.

Soon as I did that lag and freezing has come back. Lag is so bad at times system ui force closes.

Edit: I just uninstalled all the apps that I had restored with titanium backup. So far the lag is still there somewhat.

This is really driving me fn nuts. If I wasn't so used to a lot of these custom rom features/tweaks, I would just stick with the stock 4.2.1 rom. That was the only rom that didn't eventually had even after restoring apps with titanium backup.

Anyway IMO there is something funky going on when restoring apps with titanium backup. That's when it all starts lagging again for me anyway. Device starts to get hot AGAIN (even though I have cpu still set to 920mhz max).

I've had this same issue with the following ROMs:

Xenon hd (latest)

Xylon (16-19 builds)

Paranoid android (latest)

So it doesn't seem to be rom specific...

I'm going to start over again for the millionth time (feels like) and wipe everything, and install paranoid android again but this time avoid titanium backup, but even going to install it.

I will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] was1958:
Re: How do I fix this? Screen issue

Interesting. I use CWM for the ROM manager and Titanium to restore the apps. Haven't seen the lag problem, except after dirty flashes of XENON. After wiping, the lags went away, but only when using seeder (the free version from these forums).

For a while, I thought it was Facebook causing the lag. Every time I'd check OS Monitor, Facebook was running the CPU's at 40% or more. I backed off the refresh interval to one hour. Its now behaving normally but I'm not convinced that it caused the lags.

I concur: something is causing the lags. Maybe the community can piece together the common elements to isolate it. For now, my phone is running better than new and I'm really happy with the performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
I will definitely give this "seeder" app a try this is the first I've heard about it. Thanks!

FWIW, I did have facebook installed but I had all refresh/notifications set to manual and/or off, never did see any high CPU usage with the facebook app in all the times I've been monitoring for this issue.

Thanks again,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] was1958:
You can get the entropy seeder app for free in the forum.

Galaxy Nexus (toro) XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
Thanks!

I've yet to try it thought, been trying to isolate the cause of this lag...which I might have found, sort of...

After wiping and installing everything from scratch 3 more times, it seems like if I go over 100 apps (number might be lower) that seems to the the trigger point. Once I hit this unknown number of apps installed its like a light switch gets flipped and everything goes to @#$@#$, and lag starts.

This last time I only installed the most essential apps (which still was total of 60-70 lol) So far no lag at all, everything is running great, no lag when installing or uninstalling apps on the market etc..

Running as smooth as it does after a complete wipe and first install. So that's my thought for now, no idea what the actually issue is or how to fix it, other than staying below a certain number of apps. This seems to fix this issue for me at least for now anyway.

Few other things to note, I didn't let the market restore my apps automatically, I installed them one by one... Also did not install or use titanium backup, which I was suspecting as the cause initially, but it was just after restoring all my apps with TB, I went over this "X" number of apps installed that would cause the lag to begin.

Will update if anything changes.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naghtan:
I have one UMI X1 MTK6577. With Jelly bean 4.1.2 and official UMI ROM 20130101. I have a Micro SDXC 64 gb, from the Sandisk... The SD card works great... all programs can write and read on it! But when I try to move any app to it, Android say it is not enough space, right now i have around 50 gb free... I was looking and can't find nothing to fix these issue, then I remember the old A2sd.. Try use scripts from CronMod, a2sd, d2ext, INT2EXT, all the of them... and nothing.. all of them, fials at install "abort 0"...

¿Any suggest?

¿It is not a way to link inside memory with the other internal memory of 2 gb just for program? and let the SD card for other external uses...

Best regards.

Thanks! Sorry the screenshots look bad:silly:

Sorry the toggles are not 100% accurate, and the expanded status bar background is not themed. This is mainly because Axis Rom is partiality integrated with the settings app.

Thanks for porting this over. Mixed results on Beans 8. Pulldown toggles doesn't have text on his, so that's my guess. Beautiful theme.

Plans for a center clock option, perhaps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Landon418:
Thanks, I will try to add a center clock version tomorrow.

It should work fine, it uses the villain theme system so it doesn't replace apks like traditional theming.

Fix permissions?

Also is multi Window working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Just tried it. Got system ui FC with no status bar. Verified that kindacrap worked fine as I rebooted after flash.

Flashed Wasabi afterwards to see if that would fix it - same result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Theme looks fantastic and works great on Galaxy Mod. Very well done.

I noticed a few key icons weren't themed though, like phone, browser, email and gallery. Are these in development or should they already be there?

Thanks again for porting this. Its awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
If we flash a themed app, then an update comes out for said app on the play store, would we not see that update?

This theme looks amazing btw thanks! First theme that appeals to me besides stock tw and I've looked at a lot of them.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
I know its so painfully obvious, but has anyone actually tried to contact samsung to get the development resources we need? Drivers and the such.

Beyond a doubt they left this phone to sink a long time ago, but the sidekick community is die-hard and all we want is the phone we thought we were getting. And we can have that phone, with no added work by Sasung - we have the devs and the will! We only need the way.

It would not be too difficult to draft a polite but demanding business letter/ petition and have all of us send it in. Shoot, if we got the story to the XDA mods we could probably get support site-wide for "dedicated sidekick/android enthusiasts want freedom for their phone - device never allowed upgrade from froyo". You guys might see this as stretching it, but a majority of people on XDA have samsung devices and would hate to see their own development halted by the company.

Strength in numbers. Not to mention, this kind of outcry would show samsung that the sidekick (keyboard devices) are still sought after and will be fought for. Somewhere in our petition should say the resources are just to hold us over until they release the next model which will NOT get treated like the red-headed stepchild the 4G did.

You'd be surprised what a small, vocal group can get done. If anyone has any background on this type of thing, say so. if nobody else steps up I will write it tuesday-Thursday and post it for any revisions, then we can each take a copy and send it. Even a simple facebook page or cheap website would add so much to this cause.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
I'm for it. I think it's a great idea to sign a petition requesting to Samsung at least a test build of Gingerbread. :good:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Khizar hayyat:
Agreed broda's we have to do this.:thumbup:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] marathonjon:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
I will write up a draft tomorrow after my studies, leaving the appropriate "technical" spots easily editable so that we can get exactly what we need from Samsung per the Devs instruction.

Thank you guys for your support on this, I truly believe good can come of this!

Maybe we can direct them to our sidekick wishlist thread while we're at it ;D

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] NuclearApple:
Of course we should try, but i'm not sure that Samsung will help us after 2 years of doing nothing....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
I'll post it up within the half hour - this week was busier than expected. And unless Samsung completely destroyed everything relating to our device, it should be as simple as a developers release right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
Yup
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
Here is draft one. Feel free to download the doc and make adjustments. Let's just be sure that the majority of our community agree on the final product and then we can take action. I will be sending out the story to Gizmodo/Engadget and stuff too... If this isn't an underdog tech story I don't know what is. You guys might think that's over the top, but it's just not right for a company to abandon their customer and it is never too late to make amends.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a formal petition regarding the Samsung SGH-T839 device (T-Mobile Sidekick 4G).

We, the loyal consumers (and other), request through this petition that you kindly release development information & resources regarding the SGH-T839. This request is being made due to the absolute lack of support and development for this device since its launch April 20th, 2011. Please note that this device shipped with Android Operating System (Android from this point) Version 2.2 “Froyo” which was released May 20th, 2010. This is despite the fact that the SGH-T839 launch date was over four months after the release of Android Version 2.3 “Gingerbread” (released December 6th, 2010).

Not only was the device shipped with an outdated operating system, but a Kies / Over the Air Update to Gingerbread was never released. This came as a shock to all loyal consumers of the SGH-T839 as Samsung continued to update other devices to the new Android version and release new devices with Gingerbread already installed. In addition to the lack of support, the SGH-T839 had many bugs such as a keystroke logger within the system, the keyboard software missed keystrokes, and frequent Force-Close of applications.

These problems, amongst others, have been thoroughly logged by the XDA Developers Community (www.xda-developers.com). Amazingly, there is a large community of SGH-T839 users that are dedicated to the device and have managed to correct many of the software-related defects that were shipped with the device. This petition requests that Samsung release the following development items to the XDA Development Community, that the loyal consumer of their product may be able to enjoy everything that the SGH-T839 is capable of:

We urge you not to overlook this petition, as it is being circulated amongst several online communities that are dedicated to the Android Open Source Project for support. The influence of these communities over Samsung’s broader handheld-device customer base runs very deep; the XDA Developers Community alone has over 4.7 million registered users. We, the loyal consumer (and other), anticipate a prompt response to this matter. We also look forward to increased involvement from Samsung pertaining to the Android Open Source Project and hopefully a future device with similar form-factor of the SGH-T839.

Sincerely,

Edit 2: Was just thinking maybe "Release source to XDA community should be create developers release pack or something?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wojiaoqsc:
I think we should ask for the release source for devoleping
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
I do not believe any of the official ROMs had the keystroke print statements enabled... someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking Samsung for. Any partially complete work toward GB they might have laying around? Not to curse our chances, but I think they are not likely to release source for proprietary drivers.

Be very clear about what you're asking for. They might seriously consider one such request, if it is well reasoned, and within their power to grant.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
One other thing to consider is sending this petition to T-Mobile as well. They can exert considerably more pressure on Samsung.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
I left the "specific request" blank. It goes at the end of the 2nd to last paragraph after the colon. That's why it looks like I didn't ask for anything. If someone with the knowledge wants to give that list, it can be added and the other revisions can be made.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] marathonjon:
Good first draft. Keep in mind your audience, though. We're unlikely to get Samsung to help us by insulting them. For example, "due to the absolute lack of support and development for this device" should be replaced with a different reason. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar. Maybe something about how the device has great potential, especially with the physical keyboard, but has been limited by its operating system. Speaking of keyboards, didn't pretty much all or most ROMs at the time come with the so-called key-logger? Also, keep in mind that Samsung and T-Mobile have no interest in supporting the Sidekick because they don't make any more money off it. They make money by getting people to upgrade to new phones. So whatever we ask them has to be easy for them, like just releasing to developers whatever they have lying around that isn't proprietary. Lastly, it's a bit misleading to say there are X million XDA members. The vast majority of them couldn't care less about the SK; I'm sure the SK community is rather small. Maybe highlight this fact: there are a few of us developers who love the SK as a development machine but our hands are tied because we don't have the code, etc. etc.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Totally agree with this.

T-Mobile knows that they have everything because of loyal customers, not to mention how many of the hundreds of thousands of people who owned Sidekicks. Samsung understands this which is obviously why they decided to pick up the device two years ago.

Play this to our advantage. Tug on their heartstrings, so to speak.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
Yeah, I agree. Haha I guess this letter wasn't the place to let my frustrations out ;P
