[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudsonhicks:
Ok last week i had an incident with my HTC One X, and completely destroyed it.

My contract is finished in June, so i want to hold out until getting a new phone, until then i dug out my "old" x8 and installed a cheap SD card to it.

I've rooted, unlocked bootloaded and tried a few ROMS, however the experience is the same - Slow, laggy, & crap :(

Maybe i have unrealistic expectations for this phone but i don't remember things being this bad when i used it a couple of years ago.

Does anyone have any ROM, App or other suggestions that i can do to revive my phone??
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
You've unlocked bootloader .....install custom kernel

my suggestion:

KERNEL:nAa

ROM: Ginger DX v31b

Don't forget to Overclock it

RESULT:SUPERFAST PERFORMANCE
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreatonn:
maybe u use jb rom, next time use gb roms
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajjai:
If it is performance you are looking for, I would suggest the minicm 7 ROM with nAa14 overclocked to 748 Mhz.

if you want jellybean, you should flash the JellyBlur ROM with nAa's JB kernel ..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudsonhicks:
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've tried tons and tons of Roms today, including your suggestions.

There doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of difference regarding the lagging, hesitation, and lack of smoothness when scrolling.

Are there any standard things i can do that are applicable across the board regarding speeding things up?

I overclock to 700mhz, and set the governer to "performance"

what swap size should i use?

Should i buy a faster SD card and do swap-to-sd?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssk73:
Kernel

You installed a custom kernel??????????????
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreatonn:
Perfomance is laggg, use smartassv2
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajjai:
try overclocking it to 748MHz with a min of 245 MHZ and use the smartassv2 governor ..

and also disable all the animations .. :)

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

if you up for a little more work,

Partition your SD card into 3 .. use link2sd (about 200 mb) and swapper 2(128 mb) ..

It will free up some space on your phone memory and increase the performance :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudsonhicks:
Hey thanks for the tips everyone.

I'm currently on GingerDX, quite happy with performance. Still looking to better things though :) i'm a perfectionist.

Any apps i can rip out?

Any apps i can install?

What about Swap?

Would FroyoBread be faster?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajjai:
Well, in my opinion, gingerDX and minicm7 are the fastst GB ROM's out there ..

you could try the following ..

1) using link2sd, uninstall all the unwanted system apps .. especially DSP manager . if you don't use it much .

and link all your USER apps to the SD card . .( 2nd partition .. link2sd wont be able to recognize the 3rd partition.. keep this in mind when you are partitioning the SD card ..)

try to keep your internal memory as free as possible .

2) use Swapper 2 with a 128MB partition . ( 3rd partition)

3) disable boot animation, and all other animations ..

you could also try using the seeder app ..

and ADW launcher .. the smoothest launcher for GB :)

oh, and also select the 'allow always' option in the superuser app ..

hope this helps you :)

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] oFFgotoFF:
So I finally menage to root my Miro using UnlockRoot but now trying to unlock the bootloader with SE Bootloader Unlocking using step-by-step instructions from ht tp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560613.

After typing IMEI code (14 of 15 digits) it gets stuck at getting unlock code, so my real question is: can I flash custom ROM without unlocking the bootloader?! :confused:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 2010matej:
When you write IMEI code just delete latest number!!! Same was with me when i go unlock bootloader,its write on SE UB page if "needed delete latest number" :))

Enjoy
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
or alternatively try the command prompt method
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] oFFgotoFF:
how to do that? what do I type in cmd?

done that and it still won't give me unlock code....maybe it has something to do with inability to unlock bootloader?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
Yes. You should first check if bl unlocking allowed on your phone.

If yes, You should see this

https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/bootloader-unlock

Also, there is a step by step guide on the sony website.

Also are the fastboot drivers properly installed on your computer?

The other thing is that the bl unlocking tool provided here in the forum, didnt work for my friend's tipo also. That program uses flashtool already present in its folder.

What i have noticed is that particular version of flashtool does not recognize miro/tipo. So maybe thats the issue.

Anyways you should refer the link i gave or the sony website.

Sent from my ST23i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] oFFgotoFF:
It says that bootloader can't be unlocked but I was hoping that someone already menaged to avoid this blockage...or is there any way of flashing custom ROM with bootlocker locked?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
sorry man i dont have any idea about that then. maybe you should talk to some dev.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister.dexter:
I called T-Mobile to make sure that if I picked up a Nexus 4 from the Google Play store that they'd transfer my SIM to a microSIM for me so I could use it on their network, as it's sold unlocked. They told me that while this was technically possible, I may not get "4G" service because I "Didn't buy the phone from T-Mobile."

I told him it comes unlocked ready for AT&T or T-Mobile's networks, and he continued to insist that I probably wouldn't get HSPA+ access, but maybe I would, he didn't know. But if I didn't, there was nothing they could do.

I got the feeling it was just the T-Mobile guy trying to convince me that I should buy a Nexus 4 in their store for $500 instead on Play for $350, but I wanted to ask here - Have ANY of your Play-purchased Nexus 4's had any issue on T-Mobile? Or AT&T for that matter? I expect not, but I wanted to check with the experts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toanau:
Using mine now with no problem. They r just trying to make commission off u. Hack the nexus to get LTE
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathafan:
Your feeling is right. I got mine from the play store it does work on 4g so save your cash and buy it contract free
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PARADOX-SEV:
I'm using a Playstore N4 on T-Mobile with very good 4G speeds. If fact it gets better speeds than the T-Mobile H1 I tried for a week.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostrid3r:
That unscrupulous sales/customer rep was trying to "up-sell" you and was blowing smoke up your arse by trying to mis-inform you.

1) Google play store nexus 4 and T-mobiles are exactly the same in terms of hardware specs.

2) HSPA/+, Edge, 4G (in deployed markets) all work on nexus 4s.

3) Nothing special needed to activated a nexus 4 Tmo's network.

4) Most of the users on XDA know more about phones/services than most sales reps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelg1030:
I question some of there tactics.

I signed up for T-Mobile service over the phone (got the Sim cards for free from a T-Mobile store) and there was zero mention of an activation fee. So I get my bill and there is $70 charge for 2 activations.

I called and told them I was never told there was an activation fee. The lady was like "oh well I see here there is credit, let me go ahead and apply that credit to waive the fees."

If I never questioned it, they would have pocketed $70. Def some shady stuff with them, but I can't complain, my bill is half that of Verizon and the service works fine for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Can't wait for 4G LTE TMo to be released in New York, NY and then I'll do the LTE hack unless Google releases LTE back in the next OTA due to the Nexus 4 32GB LTE rumor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
So I have been playing between Nova and TW all morning now that I have rooted and froze most bloat plus did some kernel tweaking and set the governer to interactive. Must say my phone is quite the beast now but I wanted to see why my phone still runs a bit better on Nova over TW. When I launch with Nova and clear the memory, I end up between 690 and 700 some mb of used ram with about a gig available. With TW launched and memory cleared it ends up only clearing to about 982/1.78 , quite a bit more memory being used on TW. Not that this is significant but it appears maybe that TW just really sucks at memory allocation, or perhaps I have a faulty device. Obviously probably not but I'm just curious as to how Nova is crushing TW at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rotaryboy:
I noticed the same thing...a couple hundred or so less ram with Nova. Very zippy with Nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] porkaysi:
I have the same setup. This works way better then stock, honestly it bugs the hell out of me samsung released the phone with Touch wiz bogging down the system that much.

If you don't mind and have the time, could you post a complete list of your frozen apps as I would like to try and replicate your results under TW. Also do you have ANY other launchers enabled next to it like Nova or is this with TW the only unfrozen launcher.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
I don't know... Having that many apps frozen is like not having a galaxy s4 at all. That's just my opinion though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I didn't buy the phone to use the CRAP that Samsung calls a feature..

I bought the phone because of it's 5" 1080p display, the processor, the RAM, and it's size to weight..

To each their own I suppose but most all of the Samsung crap gimmicks don't work correctly to begin with..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
I guess there's nothing that fits that form factor. I never understood the Cm community after the sgs2 but I guess these lag issues are starting to sound serious.

It's kind of disappointing. You shouldn't have to freeze anything to get a good user experience out of a phone. I have to admit that apple has been pretty consistent with this.

My sgs3 should have had 2gb of ram with its quad core. I love the phone, will never use an iPhone again. But can't deny they focus on releasing something with optimized software for their audience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
Most of the stuff I froze is because I don't use it, have no intention of using it and can care less about. Most of the stuff I froze was not to try and reduce lag..

Honestly, if I had to freeze a feature that I wanted to use just to get the phone functional it would be returned for a different phone in a second!

The only thing that I actually did to reduce lag was to turn all my animations to 0 and enable force GPU rendering.

If the Nexus 5, when announced, has a 5" 1080p screen the S4 will be for sale faaaaaaaaaast! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Yes to each his own then.

But for the customers experiencing lag, they shouldn't have to. This device was advertised to have all these features and to be speedy. I think without some criticism Samsung will just continue to not care about optimizing their software and adding more features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
With TW and with TW disabled

The 1st image (483 MB used) is with TW frozen using Apex Launcher

The 2nd image (531 MB used) is with Apex frozen using the TW Launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
So I froze some extra apps as your list almost matched mine except for a couple of things (more or less differences in use there). I also set all the dumb animations to 0 (already had forced GPU) and wow, now the keeps up with me and then some. Now I did still have buttery smoothness without the animation but I guess it was the animation the limited the speed of booting apps.

Also I pushed over the deodexed apps and framework, rebooted and running only under nova I clear with 520MB of Ram used, WOW!!!!!

All I got to say is that with the right customizing this phone is a god among insects, but it's really sad that it can't have this type of speed out of box. I would be interested though in seeing a brand new device, stock freshly booted compared side by side to mine and then ONLY enable Force GPU with the animations turned off for a good base comparison since I am now used to my devices speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
Ya this thing is a BEAST if set correctly..

Samsung and AT&T really jacked this phone up with all the crap!

Imagine pure 4.2.2 on this thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
****tttttttt mane :cool: That would be a dream come true! Long as Dan is true to his word about releasing the unlock eventually, we will get to see just that. Also running clean 4.2.2 on here might help clear up whether or not any of the lag problems out there are hardware based or software based but as it stands I'm with you and willing to bet that this is all software jacked up by Samsung and AT&T (but mostly AT&T).....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jamezr:
I think some custom roms will set this beast free! Can't wait!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrianzeus:
Hi!

I had accidentally cancelled the OTA jelly bean update while it was downloading. There after, I am not getting the update either OTA or through Kies installed in my PC. The message is either " no updates available" or " this is the latest firmware". I have reset the phone and tried to update but still not getting the update.

Can you guide me how I could get the update through Kies again? Or if it has to be installed through Odin, kindly tell me which would be the Jelly Bean version applicable for my device. I have searched and found that there are different versions for jelly bean (like XWLSN; XWLSK; etc) Which one should I install?

[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
I saw some leaks regarding a phone (Nubia Z7), wich had me gooling and coming up short. It indicated it would boast a Snapdragon 800 SoC, but a Mali T658 GPU ? Is this technically possible - for a unit to use a different GPU other than the one "stock" onboard the SoC? The Snapdragon 800 originally comes with Adreno 330 onboard. Would the whole SoC have to be rebuilt, or is there a simpler way of doing this?
