Force GPU rendering I have tried, but is not of much help. Basically when my phone is working well, everything is fine. But suddenly this system wide lag happens, home screen is redrawn multiple times, and specially the contacts/dialler is a mess.

When you say everything will be backed up, do you mean ALL data, including home screen widgets? Game data will be lost, thats ok, the downloaded game files will be there, thats fine. But I am fearful of having to change all settings again.

Uninstalling useless apps is always an option, and I do it from time to time. But if any particular app is causing the lag, that only I will know after a fresh install.

Asking a noob question here, do you think JB update can improve things for me (since its changing the kernel and all)?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I'd start by flashing a stock ftf through flashtool just to redo system stuff if you take this route all you need to do is uncheck wipe data and partition I'd clear cache then try it out. If that doesn't work I'd get a ram viewing application when it lags pop it up and see what's hogging your resources. Have you tried a task killing application? Ik they are frowned upon but if it's a rogue application killing it would stop the lag and point you in the right direction. Try shutting off data maybe an application is trying to connect and Download or upload something often (Facebook?) That's the steps I'd take atleast

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ara Seferian:
Yess sure in jb update everything is improved I tried the leak that was awesomee!!! Camera phonebook dialer only need 1.5 secs its super fast

U can wait few weeks

And about backups ur contacts u can back them up in options in ur phonebook even sms and notes but widgets and settings and data of ur apps unfortunately u cant :( ur only solution is to root ur phone to use titanium backup even if u are on locked bootloader and about warrenty dont worry u can remove root easly

But I really prefer to wait sony's official jb but you will face same problems u will lose ur data or root ur phone using bin4ry method

Think about it :p

[MENTION=5032660]SAMURAI6969[/MENTION]

Q1. Did you also face same problem (tremendous lag in contacts) in ICS?

Q2. When you say I will lose widgets and app data, setting, are you saying even with the stock backup and restore, I will lose the data?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] topuji:
A bit confused here - Repair my phone option says: Internal storage will be wiped out, but external storage will be intact. So does it mean, in SXS, everything will be deleted? Or my "Internal SD card" (or whatever it is called) will be as it is? Please help, really confused :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ara Seferian:
Yes until now I have some lag in contacts

And stock backup and restore app doesnt backup ur data when u restore your apps u will find them stock without your data

If u do a factory reset everything will be wiped like apps and data but u can backup the apps without their data

Or use titanium backup

For me I change my Rom nearly every 2 wks but I always return back to stock bcz its the most stable and have lots of beautiful features

I think u have to root its the easiest way to not lose ur data

Cheers :)

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

Yup in factory reset everything on ur internal memory will stay in place like music and videos

The only thing you Ll lose is apps and settings (you will have your phone back to stock with your own files like music and videos)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavive:
Hello,

It took me a while to understand that the Contact app in the Chinese Stock ROM is somehow customized.

Since Google Play Store and Gmail apps are not installed here then I managed to get them and pushed them to system/app. Fine, can access GMail and the app store using my gmail account.

However, although I've set in <Acoount> my Google account to sync People details, there is no freakin way to sync them in the Contacts app. No "Merge with Google" item to select, only Samsung. So frustrating!!

Does anybody know how to sync the contacts? I'm not talking about importing.

Otherwise do you think I should try to get from a fellow SGS4 owner the official (and not restricted) Contacts apk (btw is this SecContacts.apk?)

thanks a lot for your help

[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrBolz:
Hi everybody! I can't repair my power button so...I search different solution: Tasker.

I make a task that work like this:

AUX connected--->Wake Up devices

AUX disconnected--->Lock and Block Screen

It works like charm but...not everytime. Infact if I lock the screen and I wait several time, the waking up of the devices takes like 1-2 minutes (sometimes too much I can't wait) and I have to connect to microUSB (I heard that the microUSB port che be damaged if used too much,so I prefer to use the AUX port). So the question is this: there's some kind of deep sleep that I don't know? because it seems that the TPT go in a state that I can define "ibernation". However, it's the same situation on the STOCK ICS and on CM10. just to say.

Thanks for the attention!

And always sorry for my bad...bad...english

EDIT:eek:ps...I forgot to give a name to the Thread...sorry! It may be "There's a Deep Sleep in ThinkPad Tablet?"
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrBolz:
I find myself a solution. After some seconds the tab go in deep sleep mode, which means that the processor (correct me if I go wrong) stop to work, and I can't use Tasker, or use a remapped button as power button (like the autorotation). My solution is "wake up pro": a usefull app gratis on the store that doesn't let the tab to go on deep sleep. Obviusly the problem now is the life ...but my situation is better than before!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PleaseClickHere:
For games like Real Football or some other gameloft games that are usually huge in size like above 500mb for the apk, how does foldermount help me with the memory other than only move the data from internal memory android/data or android/obb?

If I use a file manager, I found the apk in /data/data on the phone memory instead & the com.data files etc on /data/app lib.

Anybody knows what I should do with such apps?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiobb:
That's why you use FolderMount, basically all the huge data is moved to SD card and Android is being fooled to thinking that the data is still on the internal memory. After doing this it looks a little bit strange in Storage info in Settings, as for example my phone has: Total space: around 9GB, Used space: 13GB, Free space: 6GB. I instaled multiple heavy games and all their data is stored on the SD card, you just need to specify which data you want to move.

Edit: Sorry I didn't fully understand your post. You meant that the actuall apk file is of a huge size, I don't think that Folder Mount will help in this situation, as you can only mount folders from the /mnt/sdcard folder. But to be honest all of the games I have store data in either /mnt/sdcard/Android/data or obb folder, and I believe that most games on the Marketplace do the same.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skivnit:
Exactly, all gameloft and ea games are stored in obb or data so FolderMount does wonders. I bought the pro version and it gets the job done.

You can try this:

- Unplug and put back the AC charger while connected to your pad/dock (my pad sometimes 'ignores' the AC adapter too and this 'fixes' it).

WARNING

What is this mod?

This mod replaces the stock TouchWiz messaging app with the CM10.1 (AOSP) messaging app.

Why would I want that?

Maybe you want Group Messaging, Emoji, Quick Reply or just a cleaner (in my opinion) messaging app.

Ok, sounds good. How do I install it?

Download the attached zip file and flash it in TWRP or CWM, then reboot. It's that easy.

Can I use a different Mms.apk? I want it inverted!

You sure can! I'm currently using a nice inverted on I found on RootzWiki, but any 4.2.2 Mms.apk should work. Just rename it to SecMms.apk and put it in the /system/app folder.

It deleted my messages! Why?!?!

That's why I told you to back them up earlier. You did read that, right?

I don't like it.

Flash the attached uninstaller. Not everyone likes the same things, it's OK.

How can I make this mod myself?
