Hmm. I guess there is something getting pretty mixed up. Everything that this App is doing is cleaning up some bytes/pointers on

either the internal or the external sd card memory

(by stuffing the sdard's free space with Nullbyte datafiles).

(Strongly simplifying:) in nearly 99% of "roms" the Android OS system files reside on the system partitions of *internal memory* and most apps reside on the internal "apps"/"data"-partition. Those partitions are not reachable for "Forever Gone" since it doesn't use root privileges, so these partitions (and it's "empty" memory space) cannot be "optimized" by this app. Therefore it *can not* reduce lag for system-apps like e.g. launchers or standard apps. "Performance Improvements" for whole systems are to be regarded as simple placebo effect - no matter how many fivestars this app achieves on playstore.

There's a *slim chance* that it maybe "kind of" works for Apps that make use of Apps2sd, when those Apps (and their data-files/databases e.g) get stocked/moved unto internal or external sdcard space. Or Apps that make frequent permanent use of internal/external SDCard space like games or navigation programs with offline map files on internal/external SDCard. So that those apps "start faster" or "feel more responsive".

Until there's no empiristically satisfying performance measurements ... it is of course allowed for everyone to "believe" in the magic this app is doing ... but only that.
[RAZR HD General] larsdennert:
I tried it too and didn't really see a noticeable difference. Theory being that flash memory has to do a wipe before write which slows it down. By wiping the card ahead of time, checksum would already be zero. As someone pointed out it only does the SD card and not the data partition where most writing happens. It would only help someone with specific SD card issues I think. It could actually make things worse if the app isn't wiping correctly. I would imagine that Android does garbage collection and TRIM but I've never looked to see if any partitions have the discard flag enabled.
[RAZR HD General] lobie81:
Look, you're entitled to be skeptical. No dramas. I would agree with your comment that the app obviously can't access the restricted areas of the internal memory. That's pretty clear. But it doesn't claim to do that. The way I see it, any app that accesses free space in the internal memory could potentially see an increase in performance. Anything related to the photo gallery, music, movies, books etc which are all stored in accessible area. Also, I don't know about you, but when I look at the accessible area of my internal memory, most of my apps have created their own folder in there. I don't move any apps to SD, I don't see any point. So I can only assume each app is accessing the accessible internal memory of it's own accord. So whether it makes sense to you or not, many apps are clearly accessing the area of memory in question.

Secondly, of course the Android system and launcher would access the accessible area of the internal memory. They need access to images (wall papers etc), sound files etc etc.

I'm not sure what sort of empirical evidence you're looking for? Should one of the Universities begin a research project on this app? Are there many apps that come scientifically proven?

Again, whether it makes sense to you or not is irrelevant to the whole argument. I can 100% guarantee that this app made a significant improvement to lag issues on my Nexus 7 (not rooted). The difference was very obvious. If you believe it's placebo, great. But I'm happy that my Nexus 7 is performing how it used to in my placebo world. It had become frustratingly laggy lately. The app also made a difference on my Razr HD. Not as much of an improvement as the nexus, but then again, the nexus was much laggier than the razr before hand. If this app is magical, where can I find more magical apps?

I'm not a scientist and I'm not going to perform a peer reviewed experiment on this app. So if you're not keen on apps that aren't scientifically proven, it's probably best to give this one a miss...
[RAZR HD General] lobie81:
It definitely accesses the accessible partition of the internal memory.
[RAZR HD General] larsdennert:
You'd be better off with this to fix lag but you must be rooted.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix
[RAZR HD General] lobie81:
There are plenty of solutions for rooted devices. I hadn't come across anything for non rooted devices that actually made a difference until I used this.
[RAZR HD General] richport29:
Gave it a try, no noticeable difference unfortunately.
[RAZR HD General] lobie81:
For anyone interested, it seems like Android 4.3 has a feature built in which is very similar to the function this app performs. The article refers specifically to the Nexus 7, but it's obviously relevant to pretty much an Android device.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7185/android-43-update-brings-trim-to-all-nexus-devices
[RAZR HD General] juanmartv:
I tested this app, and it's really great. But as lobie81 said, android 4.3 do the same thing with the implementation of TRIM
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Hi All,

I have installed this rom but on every reboot I have this problem:

Everything was working, but on every reboot I got the message :

"System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable."

I push the only one option that i can:

I feel lucky

and the seems to be that all is ok but I'm still not sure...what can I do and how can I solve this problem?

Thanks and bye, Elisa.
[HTC Wildfire S] coolsandie:
I hope you've performed a clean install of ROM ie, in CWM recovery - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, wipe battery stats, and then install the ROM and perform again all of the wipe as mentioned.
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Uhmmm...I don't understand....sorry!

Can u explain excatly what I need to do?

Sorry but I'm really a disaster with smartphone!

Thanks and bye, Elisa.
[HTC Wildfire S] coolsandie:
I hope you've exactly followed the installation instructions mentioned in the ROM thread step by step -> [ROM] [2.3.5] EQDKP-Sense3.5 V 5.2

Not following any of the steps should break a clean install I'm afraid, so errors may happen. Anyways as I don't own this device, it may not be wise for me to give suggestions anymore. Soon a Moderator will move this thread into Wildfire S Q&A section, so members using this phone should help you out. Thanks and regards.
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
I think that i had made all the instruction but, for being sure, I will remake all the procedure now!

Thank u!
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
I remade akk the operation mentioned...and I'm sure to have done all but now I still have some problems...

Sometimes I receive this type of message:

the application apri sense plugin manager (process htc.opensense) has stopped unexpectedly

The application google play store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpecte

and so on...

What can I so?

Thanks and bye, Elisa.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
lots of reasons i think you should use this one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2346687

it's latest sense 3.5 rom and instructions are crystal clear.wipe everything and install rom.

if you are going to use int2ext scripts flash them right after rom..go to advanced and wipe sd-ext and then reboot.

then these all won't be an issues i guess.good luck
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Hi,

I can't understand this:

if you are going to use int2ext scripts flash them right after rom..go to advanced and wipe sd-ext and then reboot.

sorry but i'm really a disaster! Can u explain?

I think that I will make this passage:

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. In advanced Wipe Dalvik Cache

3. In advanced Wipe Battery Stats

4. Install zip from sdcard file Marvellous Sense 3.5 18-7-13

5. Reboot

something wrong or more? I need to format the sd card before doing this operation?

Thanks and bye, Elisa.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
nah it's okay..

you have to also wipe cache..not only factory reset.

what problem you are facing now?

ps if you havent wipe cache then it's reason of your problems
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Opssssssssssss.....I never made a wipe cache!

And now I still have the problem of the first post....and more I can't use facebook.....see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43832660#post43832660

If I made now a wipe cache I need to reinstall all the rom? Do u think that with wipe cache I can resolve the facebook problem?

Thanks and bye, Elisa.
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
you either didn't wipe the dalvik cache... or u did restored system apps from titanium back up/other back up... that's why u r facing the problem...

you have to go to recovery first... if u have the rom installed long press power button and select the boot into recovery option... or press power + volume down together to enter to hboot menu and select recovery from there...

the other things are easy.... there is no reason to face this type of problems... make sure u didn't do the things i mentioned in bold font in this comment and followed the installation instructions properly...

also I'd suggest use the odexed version of the rom and use data2sd link is given in the post. Int2sd or link2sd etc. won't work with this. If u don't flash data2sd after installation the room will keep showing errors.. For data2sd u need to create 3 PRIMARY PARTITIONS in your memory card. in the post the instructions are given. All u have to do is read the instructions and understand it to use properly.
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply but I'm really sure to have wipe the dalvik cache! And I'm really sure that I have not restored the application from any backup!

The only one thing that I haven't do is the new partition on the SD Card because they are already created from the previus version of your Rom....can be this the problem? I need to make from zero the partition?

I made this passage copied from your wonderful guide:

1. Reboot in recovery

2. Then wipe data/factory reset

3. Then advanced then Wipe Dalvik Cache & Wipe Battery Stats

4. Go back then install zip from sdcard

5. Choose EQDKPV5.1(*-*-2012).zip & flash

6.After that Reboot & Wait 3-10 minutes until ROM is fully booted. Then take the battery out.

7.After that Reboot into recovery again to install data2sd in this case no need of wipe/format etc. just install Data2SDInstallerES.zip & reboot.

I already flash the file data2sd but I don't this application on phone.....

What do u suggest to do? Can i try with a wipe cache?

Please note that I tried 4 times to install the new rom in last 4 days!

Thank u so much! Elisa.

In Sense 3.5, the app Facebook is integrated in Friend Stream. So if you already created an account, you just have to open this app, and it will show your Facebook content. If you use several social networks, you can choose which one you want to see by clicking on the bar at the top of the app ; a dropdown list will appear with 'Facebook', 'Twitter', etc.
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
I tried tu use Friend stream and I can put my login on facebook....I click ok but then this error happen:

The application Apri sense Plugin manager (process com.htc.opensense) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

I try again but this error appera every time and I can't open facebook

Please help me!

Thanks and bye, Elisa.
[HTC Wildfire S] izi501:
That's strange. Reboot in recovery, wipe data, system, sd-ext, cache and dalvik cache. Reboot again in recovery. Install Marvellous Sense 3.5 and tell me the options you chose. Then reboot and it should be ok...

Envoyé depuis mon HTC FeuSauvage S avec CM10.1 :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Yes....that's really strange but I'm so unlucky!

I will try to reinstall the ROM...but I think that I will use the EQDKP ones because I read that on the Marvellous there's some problem....what do u think about this?

And more: I haven't made the format on the SD Card because the partition are already created from the previous install....can be this the problem? I need to make from zero the partition?

Really thank!

Elisa
[HTC Wildfire S] izi501:
EQDKP is very stable and it has the best benchmark of all the ROMs for the WildFire S, but I do not like its design :) But if you do, it is better than Marvellous Sense I think.

When did you buy your phone ? Maybe it is 2012 model.

You can also try to use this recovery instead of ClockWorkMod. Put your phone in bootloader mode, then flash it with fastboot : fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-marvel.img.

One thing that you can do is to wipe nothing but to use this script (flash it, reboot recovery and flash the rom).
[HTC Wildfire S] Elisa81:
Thank!

I download the 2 files (SuperWipeMarvelcEdition.zip and openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-marvel.img.md5)....but now...which one do u suggest to use? Can u explain the passage for using it?

Sorry but, as u understand, I'm really a disaster!

Many, many thanks!

PS: Yes, the phone is from 2012!
[HTC Wildfire S] izi501:
First, reboot in recovery.

Second, flash SuperWipeblablabla

Third, reboot recovery

Fourth, flash EQDKP 5.2

Fifth, reboot your phone and wait

Sixth, use this tutorial to tell me if your WFS is 2012 model.
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
I dont understand u'r problem actually... If u hadn't recovered system apps.. But the error message you are reporting is the one of conflicting system apps...

That can not happen in my rom or any other rom... The thing izi501 telling try it... But I don't think your recovery has a problem...

Clearly while flash a rom UID will be changed... But I dont understand why your device's UID isn't changing!!! The old UID staying intact thats why u r seeing that error... Is it problem with this rom only??? Have you tried any other rom???

Also about facebook... I have not faced any problem while uploading the rom... I'll test it tonight again though... (Its an app ported from HTC Sensation which has Sense version 3.0 as HTC explorer {the device from which eqdkp is ported} didnt have an working FB app)

Anyways... Take your device to a local phone store/htc customer care and try to S-off the device... (May be you did something wrong with the unlocking...)

You could also try different recoveries, make sure that they are for ur device if ur model is gsm, try only the recoveries for gsm devices... There is a chance of bricking while u flash wrong recovery/radio etc... Be careful about it... Have patience... Read everything in a post before trying to use any mod... There may be important things that U are missing...

About partitioning: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

Download the free home edition... And make three partitions serially... No1: Rest No2: about 1000mb EXT4 No3: about 418mb Linux swap Make sure all partitions are primary...........Its important...
