[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1keynose:
i was having the same issue with the hd roms. i thought they were terrible. i now have MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3=-[kernel:MDJ S7.5HD] running very well. i had to change my rom to achieve this. the wmrom is useless IMO but it lets me run android hd now. i am using this rom

ChuckyDroidROM-HTCFrameworkEdition.Nov.05.7z

and this radio

Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14

i also install bsb tweaks in winmo and set to power save mode. turn off everything in winmo and auto boot to android with hard keys lit up.

it works for me:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GeorgijSapkin:
Same issue as OP here. All non-HD ROMs run really fast. But other Desire HD ROMs are plain terrible speed-wise. I have a good Class 6 card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xmRipper:
It's a kernel issue. There is nothing you can do.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motoman234:
To each is own I suppose. I can only speak for myself when I say that a class 6 card made me have SOD every time when waking the phone from sleep, not to mention overall less performance. Not sure what it is about them but it was bad in my case but I doubt every single person will experience this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motoman234:
It is a bit time consuming to get them rolling smooth for the first time but these are the steps I usually use when installing them for those of you that can not get them running like they should.

1) Boot up the build (fresh start)

2) Wait a couple minutes before unlocking the screen for the first time.

3) Setup everything in the SetupWizard.

4) From the moment you hit the "Finish" button on the SetupWizard, set your phone down for about 30-45 minutes before touching anything (OFF the charger if possible since it can get really hot when it is syncing everything for the first time. Charging can just add to that heat)

5) After you notice things to get a little faster, reboot the phone and then boot back into Android.

6) Wait another 5 minutes before unlocking the phone.

7) You should be good to go, if things still seem a little laggy try to reboot one more time.

I know this seems overboard but these HD builds have a lot to them. After you get the process over with you should be happy you did it. Once again **This is just what works for me** I am using Core Droid V0.2 by the way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sean3:
@Motoman234,

Not overboard...it's good advice. Thank you for the steps! P.S. Good to see a chef from my neck of the woods!:D Thank you sir!!

The Speed of the SD card has nothing to do with the roms performance.

The only difference that we will feel between a 'Class 2' and a 'Class 6' is when copying files to or from the SD card.

I noticed that on my 16GB Class 2, I have a transfer rate up to 4 MB/s when copying the Android folder and this card is supposed to have a maximum of 2mb writing while on my 8GB Class 6 I can copy up to 10 Mb/s the same Android folder (twice as fast).

But when Android runs I don't feel any difference at all.

The reason why the Desire HD roms are slow on the HD2 is because these roms were optimized to work under 768 MB RAM while our HD2 has only 576 MB RAM.

We barely have 100MB of free RAM with a Desire HD rom but with a stock rom we can have 300MB and more free.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hookguy:
I think what makes it worse is that we dont get 576mb ram in android, as this has not been built into kernels, we are only getting about 350mb of ram. If I check my available ram it is around the 300mb mark and has never been above 350mb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DIV2880:
u must just reboot you device after 1-st boot
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ForceField:
Yes,the secret of having a good performance on any device is to have 1/3 of the amount of RAM always free.

For ex if you have 3GB of ram,you can use till 2GB and you will be very good.

But if you use 2.1 GB of the 3GB then don't think twice and upgrade immediately.

We are using this equation on our servers and t works pretty well,at least for our company.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rhacy:
I've only tested desire_hd beta and Core Droid HD v0.2 so far. Nonetheless, both have been quick and solid here. Like mentioned by motoman234, give these builds time to sync your market apps and settle down, then reboot a couple times, and you should be good to go. If the build has heavy lag, it's most likely still trying to download your market apps and install them as well as sync your personal data. Patience is key here.

Also, this goes for every build, but make sure that your keypad lights are on when booting into android. Doing this has normally solved any high standby battery drain that I've run into to date.

As far as MircoSDHC cards go, I have tested a handful of different class and size cards with the HD2, and found that once the system is booted up, there's no difference, or the higher class cards have more SOD or freeze issues for some reason. The HD2 can only handle so much, and random read speed appears to be the most important factor. In turn, a good quality class 2 card should be all you need. That said, I've been running a Sandisk 32GB class 2 card for months now, without a single problem to date. Regardless of what card you use, I highly recommend using SD Formatter in quick format mode.

Another thought... it may help a little to use a standard wallpaper at first, instead of the live wallpaper, just until the system has settled down.

All that said, I'm a huge fan of Core Droid HD, due to the animations and polished theme work done by Sergio76. It's an excellent build, and you can easily get the camcorder working with the system files fix included in the thread.

On a kind of related note, motoman234 has an excellent EVO Sense Black & Blue Remix build available, if the Desire HD Sense builds are too heavy for your needs.

Best to all,

R
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motoman234:
Well said, thanks man.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rhacy:
Cheers motoman234! And... thank you so much for your excellent build work and help. To say the least, your EVO remix has been extra solid here.

Best to all,

In my experience they're all slow for me due to the fact it's restoring applications in the market. I can't even use the phone until it's done. Seems as if most build priority application restore as well. My contacts don't sync until its done
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemar123:
here is the solution for restoring dhd build performance

I'm just found (using os monitor) that most of cpu load is generated by com.android.providers.userdictionary package (user dictionary helper to keyboard data input)

using same tool (in root mode) i killed this process and android started to act as a new one

process was of course started again, with no visible bad effects (till now) but now it uses 0% cpu even after hot restart and entering some text

the build (mccm v1.2 beta 3) has stable 39 mflops in linpack

it is stable and fast as desire ones
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vtec303:
Thanks motoman234 for your brilliant instructions, I was running core HD by sergio and after a few restarts it went much better, but I thought I will try your method and install MDJ 4.3, so here it goes,

formatted the SDcard with panasonic card formatter utility, only transfered the android on it and nothing else and followed your directions and its awesome, thanks for all your help and support, btw I am still using on a daily basis ur incredible remix v2.1, its realy cool, fast and reliable with almost no bugs at all, have you got any plans for a update on that ROM with some eye candy that would be nice, anyway thanks again and all the best.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] m2]iceman:
Ok here I go again :P I do not install many apps so the app syncing is not the problem I think because it finishes quick esp when I connect to my wireless network. I usually reboot it 2 times after fresh install. I format it with my WinMo SD card formatter because I didnt see any difference when I formatted it with windows pc right click> format nor did I see a difference with the panasonic tool - always ends up slow :P I will try everything you said tho and will see what happens.

PS - One more thing - do you guys use TasKiller or another Task Killer program ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mdeejay:
Desire HD roms slow on Desire HD too :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vtec303:
yes ur right mdj I happen to use a friends desire HD a few weeks ago and its slow alright compared to a desire, ok I installed coreHD by sergio and after a few reboots it did go faster, than I followed the instructions from motoman234 and installed your v4.3 and its definately faster than coreHD, probably I think its cos coreHD has a bit more eye candy to it and the file size is over 300mb as comnpared to yours which is way less than 300mb, I might be wrong though since I don't know that much compared to devs like yourself anyway we are all fans of ur great builds, keep it up and all the best.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rukhi:
I was having alot of issues with HD builds...

i updated my radio to latest and it fixed my problem. Plus there are applications that might be downloading from market (i faced this issue) cancel them running as smooth as any other build
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karmacoma7:
Hey guyz :)

I`ve been troubled by the HD roms speed issue for some time too, until I`v found that disabling all windows animation (settings/display) gives it a boost !

Also you might want to try changing the governor to smartass (if you are using Mdeejay latest kernel) and overclocking your device`s cpu ( it`s up to you to decide, `cos it might damage your device)

I`ve found that it works smoother at 1200 mhz without noticable battery drain increase.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zaidsa3sa3:
NO Need to quick format you can just do defragmentation to your sd card

NO need to quick format or full format you can just do defragmentation to your sd card , and in this case you get your sd card back to speed without loosing your data.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
I've posted this in 2 HD threads but didn't get any response.

................

The ... 'wait for 5 to 10 minute' ... thing is logical thinking it has to write and read from the SD card and then after a periode of time it runs from the build in memory, until you do some writing on the SD card that is and the lag begins again.

I do not have that lag on the non HD builds and downloading on the SD slows the benchmarks down too but not as catastrofical as the HD build.

.................

Try to use SD card speed test and do the following test.

Switch on WIFI : Download something from the market and while doing that do the SD card speed test.

Now compare the results of a HD and non-HD build.

I've done this test 5 times to eliminate other factors. You will be very very surprised by the result.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ardianz:
using swap

is possible using SWAP on HD build???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] m2]iceman:
How do I do that? Do I need SetCPU ? I read that SetCPU is not good anymore - it slows down the device. How can I change the governor without it?

And I want to ask again - do you guys use task managers to kill running apps and such ???????????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karmacoma7:
I use CPUTuner which is free.

Tested device`s performance by Quadrand standart, with different governors and found out that the results are different. So it works.

Sometimes I kill everything with SystemPanel Lite.

But I don`t think it affects the performance.

Btw, switched to All animation, it works without noticeable difference. Perhaps it affected the performance while droid was syncing something, which I disabled.

So the conclusion is ( from different forums)

How to achieve best performance using Desire HD roms

intro - use clean data file and advisable wm rom, preferable without sense.

You may want to fromat your SD card (fat 32), which I did, but not sure if it affected the performance.

1. don`t meddle with device while it is boots droid for the 1st time.

wait until it loads everything. Don`t unlock it for a couple of minutes.

Then do setup wizard. Power off.

2. Disable automatic syncing (settings/accounts)

3. You may try to disable animation, which worked for me for some time, but later it had no effect on the performance.

4. Uninstall all unused apps with Titanium backup app. clean the dalvik cache with it.

Do fix_permissions! Reboot

5. If you`re restoring some apps from a backup do a fix permission afterward.

6. Install a CPU tuner and set your governor so smartass. slide the max frequency to the right( warning ! I`m not responsible for the damage if any occurs) It works for me, anyway.

7. Some users noted decreased battery drain with 2.08 radio. I`m going to check it for myself.

Will post here.

ok. Please add your hints, Haribol

I haven't got any flashy speed at any roms. Is there tutorial to find problem? I've tried several android-builds and 2 different μSD cards. What I haven't tried much is WM-builds and Radios because of Activesync. Is there some idiot proof ways to make android faster than testing every radios and WM builds?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
What are you talking about? :eek:

This is Android, not Windows.

When you are out of ram on Windows, your hdd space will be used as swap.

android has no swap. it will go exactly in the same way with 200mb free mem or with 80mb free (of course if all that ram is full of running apps.. it's normal that it will be slower)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htc4hadi:
If you really like Android go to GIPAQ-MIUI Roms, its super fast for HTC HD2.

I use Radio 2.15.50.14

Win Rom: Omega V21 WWE

I tried all android Roms desire, HD desire and all other, all of them were leggy and slow but this one its really fast. just try it you will know what I mean :)

Did any one use the z4root to root the LGP500 ?

Is this a fail-safe method to root this phone? If not is there one?

I'm a bit afraid to root it, because I have bought it recently and I do not what to turn it in to a brick :D

The software version of my phone is LG-P500-V10b Android 2.2

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
Nothing is fail-safe.

That's why developers aren't reponsibles if you brick your device.

There is allways that chance.

I used the universal root and everything is working well.

If you are noob in this area, just read a litle more about using abd and flashing shipped ROMs.

I had a Windows mobile before.. but in Android yes I'm a noob

In Linux I con not say that I'm 100% noob, but close to that.

What is universal root? Is what this link talks about ?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Rooting itself is not problem I think. But, more possible problem can come with other solutions like firmware update/rewrite, flashing of custom ROM. For what do you need rooting?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] antoniomch:
Not for flashing...

Some apps can only be used in a rooted phone.

So my purpose is only to use these apps, not for flashing the phone with other ROMs

Rooted today

I just rooted today, Sunday, December 5 2010, an Optimus One which I have under t-mobile, using z4root. No problems at all. In fact, my only worry was that it might not have been correctly rooted because all I had to do was press a button, it restarts and that's it. Nothing else. I then removed all bloatware and the retarded unremovable trial version of pacman.

I have v10 and had downloaded all over the air upgrades that I had received up to that point, and it still worked perfectly. Also, I have Froyo.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
So, in this case I thing that most better way is using of z-Root. There shouldn't be problem at all.

hmm.. do you have lg pc suite? it contains usb drivers for the optimus one.. without those you can't root.

superoneclick method:

turn on in phone settings, applications, develop, usb debugging

connect phone.. don't go into usb storage option (don't mount sd card).

right click on .exe -> run as administrator if you haven't.

and if you are on windows 7 or vista try to set compatibility options.

click root.

sorry if i tell you what you already know, but maybe it helps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyloof:
Recently i've noticed that handcent is putting my phone into a wake lock as soon as i receive a text message. This is causing my battery to drain if I don't read my text messages as soon as I get them. At first I thought it might be because I had the popup notification on, someone suggested that it could be the problem. So I turned that off and turned all notifications off except for the LED blink and notification bar icon. But for some reason it is still putting my phone into a wake lock, i've tried everything and nothing seems to fix it.

My question is, does anyone else also experience this problem? Is there any known fix for it? Or will I just have to stop using handcent all together?
