Froyo lagginess - any ideas?

I haven't used the legend for a few months and loaded froyo onto it yesterday as my other phone is out of action. I was under the impression froyo was susposed to speed things up, but scrolling in the browser is still unresponsive and slow. a friend and i were trying to load up film session times - he, obviously, on an iphone - and it was embarrassing how much my webpage jumped around on a fairly graphics lite website.
I know a lot of you guys love this phone, but could I get some honest opinions: is this actually as good as it gets? Am I missing something? The phone is about as stock as it comes with the Vodafone AU froyo rom installed yesterday after a factory reset and the only apps being angry birds and astro.
Thanks,
zuka

turn on usb debugging in settings->applications->development

what does turning on USB debugging do for performance?
cheers

God knows, bu it seems to work. You could also try rooting and installing BlaY0's ROM, it's nice and quick.

USB debugging helps me ) really... It's very strange.
And i tried to send message to support (About laggs without this opt.). They ask me only one question - "What type of SD card you used" and that's all

That's really strange... because when i activate USB Debugging, my phone lag as hell ><"
Blayo Rom is really good, but idk why, since 0.6, battery draining is faster than 0.5

Sorry, I'm out at the moment and can't really search for this. Is the blayo rom stock and sense based?
Cheers for all your help guys

Being out is no excuse. BlaY0's rom is based on stock

In my case, I'm experiencing lagginess when I switch on wifi. This is a bit annoying because I use to have wifi on all the time, when I unlock the phone it tries to reconnect and the phone becomes laggy from the first 15 seconds more or less. It's only me?

No, it's normal, it also lags when "Installing..." applications.

Try using green power premium app it can save a lot of hours.. with effective settings of course if you'r using wifi a lot.. or 3g

[Q] Choppiness on notification pulldown

any way to make it smoother like it was on 6.1 ? it was bugging me since cm7 was released.

its MUCH smoother with latest kernel.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

If you want cm7 i prefer for you for now #18 release. It is working on old kernel but IT WORK... I'm using this release but i flashed kernel 4.1 you should too. The new kernel is amazing fast and smooth but is still bootloop and we must weit.

Im using RC2 with 4.2 kernel,but the notification bar is still laggish/choppy.

i dont have a flashable version of it, but it's included in the latest nightlies (but be careful, if you dont follow instructions in the thread you may bootloop - nightly #25 seems to be your best bet)

i dont think choppiness went away with #21 and later. im using smartass governor and still pretty laggy. not close to cm6 or sense pulldowns. i wonder if other devices with cm7 has this issue?

well its waaaay smoother than before for me, i dunno why its choppy for you.

ive watched some videos on youtube with other devices pulldowns on cm7 and only wildfire seems to have this problem. maybe its related to lack of gpu or armv6 cpu i dont know.

can you take a quick video of your pulldown animation if you have a camera i really doubt its smooth as i think.

here's a vid:http://www.mediafire.com/?3e17kzqy21754pk
Sorry its sort of big for like 30 seconds but i recorded with my ipod nano, and considering that its a VGA recording of a QVGA screen and that the point of it is the smoothness, i didn't want to sacrifice quality any more.

yea its slightly better on your device can you tell me your performance settings and cpu speeds?

JIT on, surface dithering on..
cpu is at 691/264 smartass, although i get the same smoothness on 518/264 ondemand as well. BTW, its actually a little smoother than it is in the video.

Moved thread to general as it is not about devving

Used it for 2 days. The only bug I get is randomly I can't access text messages. It requires a reboot.

Yea I love this ROM but I guess its not compatible with Ripple Lock Screen yet or something.When I use it my screen takes like 6 seconds to unlock, really strange as this was not happening with 2.2.1.
Other than that, PERFECT

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.

Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

What do you guys like about this ROM over CM7?
CM7 froze in the middle of the night, then I missed my alarm, so I need to try something else.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Agree 100% with what you said about the "bloat".

Good to know. .... I use oxy and one other rom , but lately oxy has been my daily driver due to the sheer speed. Battery life isn't as good but I have my phone oc'd to 1.3.

Have you tried running it at 800Mhz? This is my setting while i'm at work, then back to 1Ghz at home. I see no difference in speed IMO

The only things oxygen is missing that I really like is the 4g notification toggle, and incognito mode on the browser.

any one experience "system not responding" seems like my phone locking up more and more lately using the kernel that the rom comes with using stock launcher other than that everything is good

Anyone have an issue with BLN not working?
It worked once, and that was that.
Thanks

My speaker automatically turns on when i pick up a call or when i call someone. Anyone else having this issue?

G2 Slim Or Virtuous G-lite

I was just wondering which one is better for speed, battery life and their UI's. I have given up on the Sense roms, too slow and buggy.

I know I've seen your name in the forums before, but forget what you're using now. Have you tried either of the EliteMod versions (one CM7, one ICS?) I'm using the latter now and very happy with it for speed, battery and UI (Apex launcher.)

I second this, for ICS either elitemod or Andromadus mimicry. Apex launcher.
Though for gingerbread, I'd say elitemod CM7 or g2slim.
Also for an even faster and lighter launcher there is lightning launcher.

Yeash, I must ask a lot of questions then, lol. I am currently on Gen. Y Vision B5. However I have found it very slow and buggy. I have also tried Andromadus Mimicry. It was the best i'd seen, but I wanted something which had better battery life.
Will have a look at EliteMod Now.

ILWT for me...

MIUI
Better battery life + Good Look = its definitely MIUI
from my experience MIUI has the best battery life.. abt 2 hours of music, txting, wifi, browsing and total of 30min calling, yet i always come home above 30%

I know that I've asked this before but does these ROMs set the phone's CPU to a default speed? Or do you do that yourself by using something like the SetCPU app?
I'm in the process of rooting my phone and will be looking at GB ROMs such as MIUI, ILWT and CM7.

MIUI doesn't have a built in feature to set CPU speeds. But most other CM based roms does have such option built in. Look for something like Performance->CPU in settings. There you can set a CPU governor too

I thought MIUI was discontinued for our devices?

It is confusing because of the several Miui sites. But that is the impression I get, too. I just spent a certain amount of time looking, and failed to come up with anything current.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app

Yes they discontinued support for the vision after gingerbread. Anything found that is android 4.0 or higher will be ports, not to say they will be good or bad but they won't be specific to our phones

Yes it is... But it is stable and it has every feature needed. I have used MIUI without restarting for more than a week. No glitches though. But sure can use extra stuff like miui_bulletproof_pack, though Im not using it.
Its a stable rom + with super cool look + good performance and good battery life. What else do we need

G-light hands down its fast stable gives you the option of choosing kernels before flashing (conservative HTC kernel or full featured kernel capable of 1.4ghz Oc) . As for issues their ain't none I've been using g-light since it came to play . The screen issue must of been a bad flash

Battery Life/Temp When Running ICS

Recently rooted my phone and have used a number of different ROMs. The ICS ROMs for this phone seem to heat up my battery and drain it quite quickly. GB ROMs don't seem to do that. Is that the nature of ICS for the Glacier?
I'm just wondering what other users' experiences with ICS are.
Thanks.

Its a known issue with ROMs that have the 3.0 kernel. I know that the devs are looking into a solution AFAIK no eta yet.

He said ICS, we don't have any ICS roms with 3.0 kernel (because we would have to re engineer the rom.)
To answer the OP's question, i haven't been on gingerbread for a long time, i don't have a problem with ICS, check your clock speed, your governor and your battery. What rom are you on? And are you sure its not JB?

I was using Glacier_One_V_1.3. Sorry, I'm a noob at the whole kernel/governor thing so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
For now, I ended up switching to Skytouch (the i06 port to myTouch) as my ROM.

So, after doing some research, I downloaded System Tuner and changed the Governor to Smartass V2 with a High Threshold of 1.02Ghz and a low of 245Ghz. I'm going to see if that improves my battery life.

I'm very happy with battery life when I use Synthetic.Nightmare's SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-MR1SG. Is it as good as CyanogenMod 7.1? Hard to say, but possibly not. Haven't noticed anything in terms of heating, though. Newb, so not sure about kernels (except as they relate to linear transformations) but I think I have to be using aosp(x) kernel with that ROM...

My two cents
I am using Glacier_One_V_1.3, very happy with it. waiting for a new kernel about to be released.. and I am sure it'll solve a few issues maybe flickering screen/flipping lock screen and maybe the heating problems. Who knows
Battery life is good for me. yet thinking of getting an alternative battery. Maybe it'll get less hotter.
