Hi! From a few months, since I started flashing new ROMs, my gnex became slower and very laggy. The real problem is that it is very slow even when flashing ROMs and other stuffs in recovery mode. I'm currently using CM10 with Franco kernel and ClockworkMod recovery. Changing kernel and wiping didn't solved anything. What could be the reason?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ci@cKi:
Try to download eMMC brickbug check, is an app that check if your memory chip is affected by a factory bug (since there's a series of chip afflicted), this bug slow down all the system and makes it very laggy. Try to take a shot, and if the result is that you are afflicted in the forum there's the solution!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicari92:
No bug and no errors in memory test
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
1 - Backup all files on your SD card .dont include /android/ Directory.

2 - Flash Google Factory Image for 4.1.2

2.1 - Flash Latest TWRP

3 - Download "Forever Gone"

4 - Start it and let it run through your empty SD card (it'll overwrite it with 0s, it helped fix a problem on the nexus 7 and helped me with some SD card IO lags, And it removes all traces of what once was, so...)

5 - Download Rasbeanjelly 11-6 (the 4.1.2 version ) It's pure AOSP, Blazing fast and the standby drain is amazing (and notifications don't delay even when asleep )

6 - Download Trinity Kernel latest stable (Link http://goo.gl/jl1Ga )

7 - Flash the above and set up your ROM.

SECTION TWO

8 - Go to Google maps >> Location settings & turn everything off.

8.1 - If you still want location history use backitude instead of latitude

9 - Use one chat app instead of many (especially FB messenger it sucks battery big time, use IMO . It's the best, has file transfer, audio/video call, lovely interface and supports most networks even skype.

10 - Sign out of Google talk

11 - Turn off Google+ Sync

12 - Turn off Google Backup

13 - If you don't use it, Turn off Google now (i think it's nice actually).

14 - Install Betterbatterystats & BatteryMonitorWidget to keep watch of any batter hogs should they come along.

15 - Install Velis Auto Brightness

Trust me on this one with trinity & rasbeanjelly

Set the CPU to 1000thingy max/600 thingy minimum

I believe that when i get a quality phone for this kind of cash i shouldn't compromise functionality c: so i don't use battery saving apps, i need my data on and always, I get about 17 hours with ~3 hours screen time, Pm me if you need anything else ^_^

[Edit] Optional : Turn off screen touch sounds/Vibration, if you want to...

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

Silencing maps (preventing non user caused wakelocks)

1. Sign out and /or freeze latitude.

That's it!

Additional information:

-manual startup of maps will work anyhow, don't worry,

-navigation still works

-toggling gps on will show your current position on the map

Do you format partition cache and Dalvik cache before flashing ROM?If no then this is the problem you are facing..coz i've flashed 100's of ROMs but no problem yet!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicari92:
Wait wait wait (xD)..it's very slow even WHILE FLASHING anything (or making backups) in recovery mode (when there's the green android with the rotating blue frame inside). I can't see how changing ROM or changing settings inside the OS can solve the problem...I'm not an expert but I think it's a problem at a lower lever..like kernel, drivers, chips..something like that :silly:

..anyway..cause not an expert I tried the Trinity kernel and didn't make any difference..and I will try to use Forever Gone after I made ​​a backup and restored to factory image..

Ok I made a bench and I had horrible results. This night I'll try to fix this...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
Seems that you have the same buggy eMMC chip of type V3U00M.

The phone might slowdown again after writing some data on it. You should add discard to your mount options.

Guide (filling the partition using dd and rm is optional for you)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicari92:
I don't know how to run the code of the step 3: I tried to install Android Termina Emulator and run the commands here..."su" worked and the dialog box of SuperSU appeared asking me the permission, but when I wrote "mount -o remount,discard /data" nothing appened. Sorry men..I don't know what I'm doing :eek:

He says:

and than

How can I do that? Like...reboot into recovery mode, connect the phone to the pc, move to the folder of adb.exe and run the command as "adb su" and "adb mount -o remount,discard /data" ? ...I don't think :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
The command did add the discard option, but it is not showing any output ;)

Nearly right: You have to open an adb shell (using the command adb shell) and then type the commands ;)

Well, as you don't really know what you're doing, I think that it's not such a great idea to experiment with the command line in superuser mode...

You can get the same results doing the following:

Install Script Manager from Play Store.

Download the following text file to your internal memory: remount.sh

Browse to the script in Script Manager and add it to be run at boot (Open as... Script/Executable). Make sure you check both the Boot and Su options, then press Save and Run.

Now you should be done if you don't already experience huge slowdowns of your memory (0.4-0.5 MiB/s random write is OK)

If you HAVE slowdowns, install Forever Gone. Fill your sdcard (aka securely erase deleted files) and then free the filled space. Done.

Install and run LagFix (fstrim) from Play Store. Done.

---

FYI: The code in remount.sh is the following:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,discard /data
mount -o remount,discard /cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicari92:
Ok thanks!

Do I have to relaunch the command (or recreate the script) every time I flash a new ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
After a full wipe you have to re-install the app and configure the script again to make sure it is launched on every boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Install seeder v1.4 too.

Look for it in XDA(free) or the Play store(paid)

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

AW: [Q] Very slow and laggy Nexus

I don't think that waiting for the random source is the problem here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
The thread I linked has an app that can run the trim command which should help io.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ph4zrd:
Direct Link

You can use it instead of dd&rm / Forever Gone. The tool does this job better and is faster, I would say it's the preferred method now. ;)

Doesn't permanently solve the problem, though (unless you run it periodically) ...

So maybe the best is using the discard init script plus this app once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevinzone:
once you have run the remount script why do you need the lagfree app?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Is it possible to enter recovery mode without root?

I've got an issue with my S3 whereby every time it reboots it comes up with the message unable to download please try again later. Then it'll randomly freeze or reboot. So after trying a few different things I've decided to wipe the cache partition, however I can't enter recovery mode. I've tried holding down volume up, home and power and the android image briefly flashes up but if I release the buttons it just boots up, if I keep them held it just power cycles continuously.

Also I tried holding down volume down, home and power and got a strange message warning of the perils of installing a custom OS and asking if I wanted to go ahead, I didn't. Is this message normal or is my phone trying to do something weird? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Release the buttons as soon as you see the recovery, don't hold them. Also, a custom recovery would help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Just managed to do it thanks. However wiping the cache has made no difference to my issue. The only option it leaves is a factory reset and failing that exchanging it for a new phone.

I've run mine through a fiio e17 to both my sennheiser hd650s and my grados sr80is, neither had any trace of noise or hiss. I'm actually really impressed by the quality of the dac in the note 2. The only time I had any sort of sound issue was some distortion from having the dac amplified too high via stweaks on the perseus kernel, which I remedied by turning the amplification down from 63 to the default 50.

LG Optimus Select (LGAS730)

I figured since there really isn't any information on my device, I'd write up some useful information for anyone who has Revol/Alltel and wants to trick out thier phone with root goodness.

I wrote this up at 3 in the morning, so if there's any typo's I'll get to them in the morning

Before anyone roots their device, be aware that our phone has a locked bootloader + System App Checking,

which means if you remove certain system apps, you will be greeted with a "Security Error" message on system start,

resulting in a shiny new brick.

So, as of now, I don't recommend deleting any apps until:

A) We figure out how to unlock our phone and disable the checks or

B) There is a list of safe apps to remove.​

Rooting your LG Optimus Select:

I was previously using the universal ICS/JB root method found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

But it seems that an update might of broke the exploit.

I hate promoting this program because it uses stolen code/it's garbage but it works. (Unlockroot Pro Free)

Just download > Install > Uncheck the boxes to all the toolbar spam > Run > Root > Say no to the powersave crap

I would instead promote SuperOneClick which should work aswell, but it kept freezing for some reason.

Key Combinations:

Power + Vol up + Home = Recovery

Power + Vol Down + Home = Factory Reset

Vol Down + Up / Then plug in USB = Emergency Mode

Downloading the .cab for your LG phone:

@Nathan.7118391

This program can also be downloaded that does pretty much everything for you: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13682353&postcount=1

Recovering From A Bricked Device / Security Lock:

1) Download the LG Support Tool http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe

2) Once installed, open it, and click Install USB Drivers > Other Carriers > LGAS730 > Double Click and install

3) Install KDZ_FW_UPD http://www.2shared.com/file/s1ZPxEPL/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html (Make sure to install msxml.msi first)

4) Download the the most current .cab for your phone (Method can be found above)

5) Rename .cabs to .kdz

6) Run KDZ as an Administrator > Click the little folder > browse for the .kdz you just renamed

7) Put your phone in Emergency Mode (Vol Down + Up / Then plug in USB = Emergency Mode)

8) Click Launch Software Update

9) You're phone should be working now!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ShadowEO:
Rooting does work. I also have installed Google Now but for some reason the logcat says 400 Bad Request when attempting to login, so you get the Offline Voice Recognition, Online Voice Recognition, Google Search, but no Cards for some reason.

On another note: It does seem that it only checks that the files still exist, I replaced a number of files in /lib with their Google Now versions and it hasn't made any complaints, the same goes for replacing GoogleTTS.apk (which doesn't work for some reason, we don't get the Google Now TTS, but that doesn't matter as much)

Overall, I'd have to say that I believe the bootloader doesn't check the CRC32 checksum, rather it simply checks that the files still exist.

EDIT: I redact my previous statement about Google Now not working right, it does :3 Just needed to remove and re-add my Google account.

UPDATE:

Another trick is to enable USB Mass Storage Mode:

To do so, Install DriveDroid from the Market. (You can either use disk images to separate your data from the SD Card or use the trick below)

Enable USB Mass Storage as directed by the application (within it's settings)

Plug and Unplug your phone with DriveDroid closed (Do NOT press any of the connectivity options when they appear, they should all be unchecked)

If all goes well, the USB Mass Storage Mode application built into Android will startup and your Phone will mount on your PC. (It doesn't seem to happen 100% of the time, so just toy around, it does work.)

Firmware Update AS73012a has been released? Anyone install it yet?

That's great, I just noticed in the Optimus L7 thread that their boot loader has been unlocked, was wondering if someone could test this patch with our device as its an L7 variant. According to the threads, its possible to enter emergency mode if a soft brick happens. If anyone's courageous enough to try, please report back. I'd try but I can't afford to replace my phone if something happens to the point that I can't access emergency mode.

Edit: its worth noting that if it does work, we could use the online CWM builder to build a recovery for our device then work on a custom ROM.
