[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
Hello all.

I have my Xperia S for one month now and I am becoming more and more frustrated with the frequent lags and slowness of the system in general.

On the same day I bought it, I discovered that I was with a locked bootloader and from then on, despite my attempts to improve the system by rooting and trying several Roms I am about to give up hope.

I am now with KA25 ROM but already tried XZXperience 2 and Turbo ROM. From all of these I must say that sooner or later the system becomes laggy and starts to have strangely large access times to some actions or apps.

I notice this in the contacts app a lot, in the messaging app, on the in-call and after call screens, slow loading times while performing normal tasks, like in the album scrolling and accessing images, hiccups and annoying sounds within the Walkman app. Don't know where to even start or stop.

Sometimes I feel that it must be something related to ICS but I would like to have your opinion on these issues.

Also, I am having thoughts about going back to basics and just factory reset the whole phone. Would this clean all of the "debris" the rooting and appliance of several Roms could have done to the phone?

How would I do this? Just flashing with flashtool a clean stock image?

Any advice or any second thoughts, or even the sharing of similar experiences would be great and I would be grateful.

Looking to hear from you soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] davidbar93:
This problem is well known... ICS on this device is very laggy and bad.

Wait for JB.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
:good:

And that's why I always say, Read and Search more, cause the issue is a lot old and there's a plenty tweaks available for that in the forum.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
Thanks for the feedback. When you mention tweaks what do you precisely mean? Because I have tried some tools like Pimp my ROM which state to have entropy generators and other speed tweaks but up until now it is pretty much of the same...

However I must agree that waiting for Jelly Bean is the most straightforward solution however I am surprised that a good device like Xperia S has this difficulty dealing with ICS or any usual tasks.

I came from an HTC Sensation XE and with ICS ROMS these issues were not so frequent.

However and I must address this in the topic I have been restoring the apps from ROM manager when changing ROM. Would this have any influence in the short term to the system stability and general speed?

Many thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shyam2010:
The latest Jellybean leak , shatters all the problems you mentioned (which i had too ) , and works flawlessly , multitasking have never been this smooth before, just wait for the official version from sony (you have a locked bootloader device , right? )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
Unfortunately yes, I do have a locked bootloader.

I'll eagerly await for the official Sony release.

Thanks for your help.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:
Here's what i did,hope i can help you with smoothness.First of all clean flash your stock ftf to remove all tweaks.After that flash the seeder zip file in cwm(search for it in forum).No other tweaks should be there except the touch screen pressure in system-user-idc set it to .001.Now install Mr.Nice guy app in playstore or from blackmart.Download the latest xperia launcher v 2.05b (set its transparency of app drawer to 70%,app drawer size 6*5).Now in mr.nice guy app set this xperia launcher priority to high. Thats it now you will have a very smooth rom.Not to mention you can always install the sony widgets for this launcher

Press Thanks for my effort
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
Hello, I will definitely try this later... It seems interesting.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:
Set the windows & transition scale to .5.Ask if any doubt arise.Youll be more than satisfied.One more thing do not swipe mr.nice guy app from recents after setting the priority & also do not change priority of any other except for launcher

For calls in pimp my rom set proximity to 25 & call delay to 0
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sirence:
What tweaks in pimp my Rom should I activate?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:
No tweaks at all. U can use it Only for calls,images,be2.No other tweaks it makes the phone slow.Just follow my guide once & ull love it.Make sure oom values r 32,40,48,56,64,80
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sirence:
What does oom mean?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
Don't the other tweaks like entropy and all others improve anything? Why do the others like the call tweaks and be2 work then?

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:
out of memory values r there which u can change in rom manager or kernel tuner ( even in stock)

---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

Yup entropy works but the zip i mentioned to you doesn't clashes with the rgnd files in snapdragon devices.Also it generates entropy as per device requirement & not high or all the time
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
Thanks for the clarification. Nice to understand these things.

Regarding your advices I am only having trouble with Mr. Nice Guy app as it is a paid one and reviews are not very convincing.

However I am having up until now a very smoother experience, nevertheless I am considering changing the launcher as this one is not allowing any changes with the icons and also my favourite widget (Walkman) still does not appear.

Any advices?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:
Dont go for the comments.Every one has their personal.Regarding launcher which i mentioned has loads of customization & also u can download walkman widget. Works perfectly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lol10:
So do you recommend buying the Mr. Nice Guy app? Also where can I download the Walkman widget to work on this xperia launcher? I have been searching in the store, or here in the forum and can't find anything.

Please help.

Many thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:

I'm curious about this man. By clean flash, what do you mean? (just a newbie here)

and you said "No other tweaks should be there except the touch screen pressure in system-user-idc set it to .001"

where can i find this system-user-idc?

and if you will be so kind, where did you get your mr. nice guy apk? im having trouble finding one :)

Hello!

I'm new here and I'm experiencing the rom cyanogenmod 10.0.0.

Can anyone get or set the FM radio in this rom?

I tried Spirit FM but no success.

Can you help me?

Sorry for the text, do not speak English and I'm using the google translator.

Thank you.

I am going to try a few things, since it works on droid x and the galaxy 9003i, which both use the same chipset. Maybe it's just a matter of drivers in the kernel. As soon as I got the time, I ll give it a try ;)

[LG Optimus Black] Carlos Rossi:
Thank you for your attention.

To give you a sense of how I'm doing trying to use as follows:

The version I'm using is version Spirit FM UL V FEB26

1 - I install the application, give the permissions by superuser and access settings.

2 - In "BAND" select Brazil

3 - In the "Audio", click on "Method" and choose tried to choose the options related to LG, but makes no effect.

Interestingly this option is that if I select the "Galaxy S3/Note2 ALSA" it makes a noise like it was trying to connect with the signal of radio stations on the dial and it identifies the radio, but no audio.

Anyway, no doubt I'm the arrangement.

Thank you.

I've read descriptions and watched videos of the flickering issues, and haven't come across what I'm seeing on my phone. It's flickering but not so much of the screen as the elements being displayed, and only in certain situations.

I will take a screenshot next time, but I've found an easy fix for now, in case anyone else is experiencing this issue.

On the home screen while scrolling, icons and widgets will glitch. Either the background will flicker and disappear, or the foreground image or the whole damn thing disappears and reappears. The background also flickers. Will happen in app drawer too. It's happened in multiple launchers.

I've also noticed this happening in the camera app when scrolling through the effects dropdown.

My fix: power down, pull battery.

So far so good. I'm not sure what causes the problem, but I did install new apps right before the glitch began. Uninstalling these apps does not help. Disabling HW overlays and other GPU options doesn't help.

Anyone ever have anything similar?

I can't seem to get Chrome to stick as my default browser. I'll set a link as Always, but then have to do it every time I open it. Keep giving me the option of Chrome, Internet (stock), and Maxthon (which I also have installed for Flash and some other things).

Any trick to getting Chrome to stick as default. In the past I've managed to get other browsers to stick, but no luck with Chrome.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dima470:
It might be a bug in the rom you are using. If it bothers you that much; make a nandroid, flash a stock rom, and check if the problem persists. If it doesn't try reflashing the rom you are currently using. If the problem shows up again, you know it's a bug in the rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Any easier route would be to freeze all the browsers with apps like Titanium Backup and with doing this it won't prompt you to select a browser anymore.
[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
Hey there,

I recently bought a ELM 327 OBD2 bluetooth connector for my car (china clone).

I connects and works flawless with my laptop via bluetooth.

While my p920 (v30b) keeps asking for the PIN, again and again and again.

I tried making bluetooth visible, I tried to start bluetooth before starting various apps and from within various apps.

Just using the bluetooth option from ICS I can get them paired but ANY OBD2 app keeps asking for the PIN. (which is 1234, as I can poair it via the bluetooth menu)

Some apps give an error after some time, like, "make sure no other app uses bluetooth right now" or "connection could not be established" etc.

I read about some ICS / bluetooth problems via google, especially on Sony Xperias with iots Ant+ feature. but I wasnt able to find anythign else then "compatibility issues" between "Bluetooth item 1" and "Bluetooth item 2".

Any ideas ? Maybe someone can suggest me a "cheap" usb cable for my p920 for using it with "obd apps" ?
[LG Optimus 3D] p-vlad:
Instal JB 4.1.2 as second rom and use it from there. It will work
[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
Ouch... :/

Then, what the hell went wrong with bluetooth pairing on ics ?

Maybe there are more bluetooth-pairing apps that might help me before flashing jb ? :S

I just went back to stock rom and im happy with it...except for this bluetooth pairing...damn... :,(

Can I just plug in my cheap usb odb cable into my p920 ? (using usb to mini-usb adapter) and use torque to connect via usb ? Or wont my p920 understand the "fitd" chip/cable via adapter ? Or wont such a cable/adapter solution work at all ?
[LG Optimus 3D] Dr. Mario:
Did you try "1234" as the PIN? I have bluetooth OBDII tool as well.
[LG Optimus 3D] p-vlad:
Forget it...

you can pair it - no problem... but you can not keep the connection. it ask for pin right you start OBDII application. then start to ask for pin every 5 seconds.

the only way - back to GB or install JB 4.1.2 like a second ROM or JB 4.2.2 as a first ROM (the kernel for the CM10.1 as second rom give a broken BT too - look my signature)

So I suppose it is kernel related issue too.... but I am not sure.
[LG Optimus 3D] Dr. Mario:
Possibly. Did you try the kernels? I am using iodak's CM10 kernel, BTW.
[LG Optimus 3D] p-vlad:
No... on the manual for dual boot stay that i have to use CM10.1 kernel for the CM10.1 ROM... so...

better use CM10 for OBDII devices till somebody repair the ICS version.
[LG Optimus 3D] Dr. Mario:
Ah, I see. I am using regular CM10, BTW.

MODDED MMS.APK FOR Micromax A116 Canvas HD

This Mms.apk is the same as the stock one, except for the mods I applied. It is the most close to the stock Mms.apk, just with some better features! ;D

Version 1.1 Had some serious bugs So I have to drop that (1.1 is not so lucky number for me :D )

So here is Version 1.2..

Changelog...

Features:

- No MMS conversion: you can type very long messages and it won't automatically convert it to a MMS (Default Was 7 SMS); (Screenshots attached) in Ver-1.2 - Limit is set to 14 msgs Its a bug I'll fix that later

- Unlimited Recipients list: you can now send your message to more than 200 people at the same time; (I know In india youcant send more than 100 SMSs but who cares..) :D (default was 20) Ver-1.2 - Working

- Original Time Stamps: this makes original time stamps setting actually work: it shows the exact sent time of received messages, not the moment when you actually receive it on your phone; ( I think I should Remove this, let me know what you guys think.. ) Ver-1.2 - Working

- Bigger Writing Window: when you are typing long sms, you can only see 3 sentences of what you've typed. Changed that value to 5 sentences and it feels much better. Now you can see 5 sentences of the message you're typing. Ver-1.2 - Working

- Limits: Default Text Msg Limit Changed from 500 to 5000 per Conversation, Default MMS Limit Changed from 50 to 500 per Conversation.. Ver-1.2 - Working

How to install:

Flash the file with CWM or TWRP and Enjoy..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
Boot logo as in the startup animation or boot logo as in the picture that pops up when powering on your phone?

The boot animation requires no special kernel modification as it lies in /system/media directory. However, you must be rooted to access that.

The boot logo is located in a write protected partition (mmcblk0p4) from what I hear and would require some time and effort to overwrite that. -That is also pretty risky. :p

Hello kind folks at xda,

I really hate my galaxy nexus the past few months. It's just so incredibly slow and the battery life is terrible. I just don't wanna buy a new phone yet. I'm waiting for the new Nexus device or maybe even the X-Phone by Motorola.

But till then, I need my nexus to be smooth again. I already given up the hope for a battery life. It just doesn't get any better. I've been not very active on xda for a long time so I need to get a bit freshed up.

What is for you the most smootest/fastest rom/kernel?

Im now using a battery savers Xylon rom from 2 months ago.

Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Since 4.2 it all got a bit f*d up for our Gnex'es unfortunately.. I have the same feeling like you, I like the phone still generally but I hate when it lags so much, whereas before 4.2 it seemed super smooth. Yet it would be stupid to have a Nexus and run an "older" android version, right ?

I can advise Rasbeanjelly with trinity kernel. Runs smoother than stock, and it has the fasted lockscreen unlock I've ever seen! Battery life is doable too, comparable with stock rom. But anyways it's no newsflash that the Gnex battery sucks, it always has if you are a heavy user..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
before you flash a new rom and kernel, have you considered what exactly is the real issue here? is it really the rom or yourself?

because quite frankly, a lot of roms are in fact not as smooth/stable as the stock rom.

are you running ****load of widgets? or have the background apps constantly updating stuff like facebook/twitter/rss feed etc?

when you say terrible battery life, what exactly is terrible to you? like how much standby + on screen?

We need more specifics to help, you cant just say tell me the best rom and kernel to flash.

TL;DR - CM + AK kernel is my personal favourite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LarsAussems:
You're so right about that. Gonna try what you said. Hope I see some improvement and that the nexus wil actually feel like the flagship phone it once was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
also wtr_dhd, what rom are you running? I have had 4.2.2 stock rom for a few months before switching to CM, it was very smooth, smoother than ics or 4.1 even. Only those stupid hiccups android has when swithcing apps/within apps/chrome. other than that, all the ui transiation are very smooth, like ios level smooth.
