Hi.. I just found ways to reduce LAGS in smartphones I'm just sharing my experience .. it really work!! Just give it a try and your phone will be ultra smooth!!

**Among all of these ways, It's better to read from the second ways to end as first way has 5 steps and a little bit complicated for a beginner ( don't wanna use noob), the rest of ways are easy to understand apart from 1st way ** Hope these would help you :)

FIRST WAY :

First way has 5 steps

Here is the link :

http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-t...ce-your-nexus-7s-overall-performance-0147756/

I just wanna share my experience and hope you'll like it :)

*****P. S : Remember to backup your rom before this!!! Also backup for efs *******

In this link, there are 5 steps , I wanna inform about 2nd step

IMPORTANT *******don't try journal removed script (step 2)if doubt, it's like beta, also it's from nexus 7 forum, but now I'm using with journal removed script, still no errors yet :) ******

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SECOND WAY :

UNDERVOLTING... CPU THROTTLING

Undervolting is also important to reduce LAGS.. In Samsung smartphones ( don't know about others) if your cpu heat up over 70/80 °C it returns to 800 MHz.. This is called cpu throttling.. So if you Overclock and not undervolt, cpu heat and LAGS will occur. Antutu benchmark also not increase and sometimes even lower than normal. So This link explain you how to unvoltage your cpu to prevent throttling

!!! P. S. THIS UNDERVOLTING IS ONLY FOR GALAXY NOTE 2 !!!

But I think you can undervolt your cpu about 75 mV, just Make sure bankup rom and 98% everything will be fine

I just copied and paste to my Evernote from one xda thread :) .. You can find the original link at the end of the LINK page..

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s205...bb7e1dfb0708/af3a2733dddf6e78e21068b4776ccf6f

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THIRD WAY :

Developer option > change windows animations, transition animation and animator duration to 0.5x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FORTH WAY

Force 2D GPU rendering.. Actually it's cpu work in scrolling in list view and other scrolling.. If you force 2D rendering and GPU work in scrolling and thus reduce the cpu load

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FIFTH WAY

try Cache cleaner app

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SIXTH WAY

Try CrossBreeder

Did you try the journal thing? I'm not a expert or anything near it, but it seems to me it can highly unstablize the system

After many years of playing with my devices the one thing I learnt is not to mess with file system, unless someone else did it safely on his/her device first;)

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
Yes.. I have tried journal removed script.. No problem at all.. I'm now running cyanogenmod 10.2.. And if you don't like there is journal restore.. Just make sure you backup your rom and efs.. If any problem encounter just restore your rom,, backup up rom + efs is 98 % safe with my knowledge..

Hope you would enjoy :)

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
Actually I've tried all these steps.. Have Seeders, removed the journal script, have Internet master patch, have custom rom(cyanogenmod 10.2) with custom kernel, Overclock to 1.8 and undervolt about 100 mV.

Small info on disabling journaling: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives#Disabling_Journaling_on_the_filesystem
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
Yes.. You're right.. Disabling journal script can cause data loss. That's it's drawback.. But I notice my phone become faster and also antutu benchmark become over 23000 which I usually get over 21000 or sometime over 22000.. And so I think it's your choice.. I'm using my phone now with journal disabled and haven't encounter any problem yet.. I'm also thinking back re enabling journal due to that drawback but now in love with the speed... My link also talk about that drawback but it seems safe for Android.. Anyway thanks for sharing your link for more information :)

Hit thanks if this help you
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
To be honest, the smoothness I'm getting right now may be due to android 4.3because most say android 4.3 is very smooth.. But I have to admit my phone is smoother than before and if you and anyone not sure about the journal removed script, don't try that.. Skip step 2 in my link.. Now I'm using with journal removed and if any problems encounter, I will post about it here..

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] dalanik:
quote from link posted above on journaling:

"What the results show is that metadata-heavy workloads, such as make clean, do result in almost twice the amount data written to disk."

key word WRITTEN. Now, how can starting apps can have something in common with WRITING data (especialy HEAVY workload, as it says) escapes me.

it then continues to say that "...for more common workloads where we are writing data as well as modifying filesystem metadata blocks, the difference is much smaller" - which we can see from the table is 3-4%, which is nothing.

So if you really care what the BENCHMARK will show.... :)

As far as entropy pool s concerned, here you can read Google dismissing all claims that it could work: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] CrimzonEyed:
Lol i don't care if Google says it doesn't do any difference.

I manually turned seeder on/off every now and then to increase the entropy. If I don't and the entropy runs low I notice difference. And since I do it manually it can't be that the app itself is causing the cpu to be at higher clock speeds.

I must admit I didn't try it on N2, but when the entropy issue was 1st discovered I had Desire HD, and I tried it and didn't notice any difference, so I believe it is pure placebo effect....
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
Well .. May be placebo.. There are about 10 ways I mentioned and what I think most important is Overclock cpu and undervolt it (with custom kernel) .. But I feel Seeders is important in starting apps..but may be placebo..:D .. I'm just sharing my experience.. In my opinion, I think both android 4.3 + Overclock with undervolt are important because I reflashed my rom.. and run without these and rom become sluggish in heavy load.. But it becomes smooth in heavy load after making these ways especially after Overclock and undervolt..

Please advise is there anything I can do to unbrick it except send it to the service center ??

There is No alarm clock in the Rom, do add it in the next build.

Also whyl using apps like adaway/ pump my Rom, the phone doesn't reboot to apply the tweaks. Instead, it just switches off and has to be manually powered on..

On every reboot, Google play store force closes

The music app is pretty advanced and heavy (25MB) I feel fusion would be better option as it has really good features.

help please!

HI DEVELOPERS, do read this nd respond please.

im using the xolo a500s...but i know ppl say its a good gaming phone..credit to the mali400 and 1.3ghz dual core cpu... but xolo has clearly messed up with the Rom... and games are clearly stuttery.

in other words occasional laggs and fps drops (laggy... dead trigger. subway surfers.. low fps and stutters when u pick up a mystery box n so on) but on other phones with the same hardware .. for example micromax fun a74 ...which has the same mediatek6572 1.3dc mali 400 ... games are smooth..subway surfers for example has higher fps...and lag less hd games (check gaming reviews of both the a74 and a500s in gogi.in website) ul also see that other phones with same hardware ... hve much better gaming experience and better antutu scores) any way... i have had similiar experiences with tons of xolo phones.. BUT ON CUSTOM ROMS THESE PHONES PERFORM AMAZING. in somecases better than mmx and other phones. but all these good performance ROMS are either ported Roms (from similar hardware phones/clone phones) or based on an updated Rom. so if u can.. please try n port ROMS from other manufacturers or try n improve the performance somehow. micromax a74 has the same mtk6572 and5mp cam... so may be its ROM WILL WORK.

and could u fix/remove the display >> theme force close error .. and add alarm app ..and make a complete error free AOSP like rom for our phone (like nexus 4 ui) with no third party apps/mods. plain Google experience is what we all need.

thank u for all ur efforts (I've hit all thanks button in all ur posts.. will continue to do the same)

[XOLO A500S] KrishMehta:
Hey friend, I just tried to install the rom and end up with a boot loop.. (I mean that xolo logo black screen at boot) as you said, wait for sometime coz it may take few minutes to start for the first time, so i waited for around 30 minutes but nothing happened except that frozen logo...

Please tell me what went wrong, why am I not being able to install it? Here I am telling you what steps I followed...

As the phone is already rooted, before booting into recovery mode, I checked that usb debugging is enabled.

2. Into recovery, taken backup of stock current rom.

3. Clear wipe data

4. Clear cache.

5. Clear dalvik cache.

6. In mounts and storage, format /system

7. Mounted system (as it then showed me to unmount system)
