Keyboard Lag - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi to all.
This post because I've always experienced some lags with any keybord ( IME, Swift, Gingerbread, etc )
After the installation the speed was very high, but after few days there were lags here and there.
Any advice? Is this behaviour common to you too?
Now I'm running Froyd Villain 1.6.2 ...
Thank you
Pich

Many people from what I have read they have this problem with gingerbread, I am one of them..
Beside the fact that our Hero hardware is old, we just need to wait until a better and stable release will be available..

Thank you for your answer.
Yer Our hardware is old ... :-(
Anyway I have a Froyo Rom, and the problem was present in Android 2.1 and 1.6 too...

It happens to me aswell, it annoys me alot, even overclocked to 710Mhz, obviously its not as laggy as 528Mhz but still laggy, so i think i am going to get a different phone like an iPhone

I found out that also depends on the rom that you flash, everyone phone is different.
When I used to have Android 2.2 with Froydvillain, many people in the forum said that it was awesome and that the battery life was amazing, for me was not, and it was terribly laggy.
After I switched to floyo, a new Hero was born, It was flawless and the performance outstanding, I didn't experienced any lag or issue and I kept it for many weeks...
So as far as I know, for me it could also depend on what you flash sometimes, I guess is just simple as that..

i use the handcent sms ...with the tasty froyo 1.2, and is also quite laggy...

being a rom flash addict, i have tried most of the roms posted here. only overclocking seems to help slightly, though the lag wasnt that bad on the original sense rom

Swiftkey with any AOSP/CM based roms works good for me

Yeah... I have the same problem too. I use HTC-ime mod on Elelinux GB rom, but it lags from time to time randomly.

Fastest Eclair rom

Looking in the Adroid Development forum, there seem to be lots of Eclair roms out there. Some in very early alpha stages, others which have had many revisions. And with the camera fix, it now seems that most/all issues of usability have been addressed.
Just so I don't have to flash ALL the Eclair roms out there, can someone pose their experience with these Eclair roms, and which they prefer for day to day usage on their G1?
My current rom is the latest Cyanogen rom. How are the Eclair roms speedwise compared to the Cyanogen roms? Are they responsive, or sluggish?
Hopefully others can benefit from your experience with these new roms.

using JAC's xRom 1.0 and its very smooth, with the exception of video playback. I'd say its almost onpar with cyanogen. Using the 10mb ram hack for both xRom and cyanogen.

Im using manup 1.5 with the 10mb rom hack mod (posted by another member) and it is blazing fast...almost as fast as the super d i was using and i don't get any fc except on bootup the stuff starting up says fc/wait and you just pick wait then its fine.
i'd highly recommend it and everything is smooth on it. video playback looks fine.

Ive worked with two or three different eclair ROMs, and I can say, as a generalization, two things:
1) RAM hack == good idea. G1 seems too sluggish without the extra RAM, especially once I get all my programs going. Not a 3D gamer, so it hasnt shown any down side from my point of view.
2) BFS == bad idea. Don't know if this is just me, but any ROM I've tried that has been based on BFS has been significantly less stable. FCs, hangs. Ive even had the music app just stop entirely on me once or twice (something that I've never had happen on other ROMs, even Hero ones. Maybe one of the Devs will make up a better ROM for this, but as of now... meh.
Just my two cents.
Glad Dwang (really, what's a dwang?...) hasn't made an eclair build yet, or this would be "Oh, look, that thread again!"

Well
In my experience Dwang was the fastest 1.6 I tried, Dwang is his name - David Wang or something like that, But your right sadly he ain't made a eclair build which is a little disappointing as that would of been my option & this question wouldn't be needed...
This Question: What IS the most fastest & stable eclair build out there, something like Dwang 1.7.1 but for eclair.
By this I mean not the fastest on start-up after flashing as all ROMS are fast on start-up, I mean after a week of use with a bucket-load of apps installed & if your using mods (e.g 10MB RAM Hack) add that in your post so I know how to get it as good as I can.
I believe my details of phone I'm using are in my sig but because some don't notice it no matter how bright you make it then here it is - HTC Magic 32B (also know as the Sapphire 32B & MT3G).
Your guys help will be great.
Thanks
BUMP - I'm reviving this old thread because I'm totally overwhelmed with rom shopping.
I need speed, stability, and multitasking.
I use Pandora and Navi at the same time pretty regularly, just to give you an idea.

I tried the TMUS rom and it was ok, but battery life and speed are nowhere near on par with my oem androoted donut. Is TMUS about as good as it gets?
I'm thinking of trying superE, biffmod and maybe a couple of the other ota remixes next. Maybe even CM5 again.
Try Super E and Chromatic 3.9.1 because Froyo still have buggs.
the bugs are out of froyo for a while there is "stable" imo cyanogen rom and there is the OTA with a little tweakage in the dev section...
Complete eclair 2.21 is awesome very quick very stable havnt got an fc yet ive been using it for about a day im frequently changing roms and i think you can ram hack on complete eclair so it will be amazing anywho good luck

Good, fast and complete ROM for Hero

Hi, i feel like my original Hero ROM is slow as hell.. freezing for 5-10 sec when i write an SMS.. So i'd like some tips on the "best, fastest and less buggy (Completed)" ROM out there for Hero.. There will probably be different tips from different people.. but the most popular ones perhaps?
Thx

That graph is a fair bit outdated, and most of the ROMs have since been updated maybe 5 or so times...
Just take a look in the ROM forums, read what people say, and pick one, give it a go, and move from there. Remember Froyo ROMs will be a fair bit faster than an eclair one, since they use JIT properly, and froyo is a newer version of android anyway (2.2 instead of 2.1)
hello there
I'm using villainrom 12, it's 2.1 sense rom, and it's ok
I heard some great things about robomix, kimera (all 2.1 sense).
If You are a fan of vanilla, I think that You should invest in 2.2 - froyd, elelinux (hope I spelled that correctly).
cheers
brat.haneq
So, Froyo is the new name of the new version of Android?
What is Froyo in depth?
Just installed VanillaEclair and i got problem already
Which Froyo would you recommend? A stable one that is
The first and only ROM ive used was elelinux.. i loved it.. now i see there's a Froyo elelinux
swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=16471&highlight=elelinux
Any good?
I think that there are no bad roms here
all Froyo (2.2) roms are similar, or at least I see them liek that, some have issues, that are promptly fixed.
Froyo is faster. simple as that. Some apps require froyo.
Also - there are some gadgets as "chrome2android".
native app2sd option is also nice.
automatic updates in market.
So quite nice features

Im a dedicated elelinux-user.. Love all his work so far.. AND he's swedish! makes everything so much better !

[Q] [POLL]Which Gingerbread Rom are you Running?

Hi
Since there has been lot of activity in the Development of Gingerbread Rom for our Heroes( thanks to the wonderful Dev's).
Just wanted to find the popular as the days go by
good call
it does make sense to do it this way
I'm on ele right now. cronos is great but a couple of bug fixes still needed before I'm 100% happy. ele's is quite amazing. want to try tasty but waiting for known a2sd fix and I'm unfortunately not a fan of almost pure aosp. Some cm things are really useful like notification bar power widget etc.
wow over hundred views and not much votes... is it that people aren't using gingerbread roms?
I think I just wore out everybody's voting fingers in my all encompassing rom poll started a few weeks ago.
hahaha
I tried CM7, elelinux and TastyGinger and honestly i am gonna switch back to froyo. Within first hour or so, ROM works pretty good but as soon as i sync with Google (for contacts) and send/receive some text messages, keyboard slows down, my messaging slows down.
for now none ... waiting for a good custom rom, the final version.
I'm waiting for Feeyo to come back with his kernel in Cronos GB rather than Flykernel.
wow - ele's gb is great, totally finished feeling. tasty's pretty amazing from what I've read. cronos is possibly the most complete and really great too. cm nightlies are iffy as always - they're nightlies and that's how nightlies work - but beta3 or whatever his last official one was (lox) was pretty cool.
time to weigh froyo's speed but constant market issues and older features versus gingerbread's great features but slower UI speed.
I've used CM7 but it got lag too much xD....

you should really try cronos ginger instead of re-posting somewhere read bullsh.t. i'm using CG1.0.1 since it was released and there is no single problem at all.
which market issues are you talking about?
I'm back on cronos. ele's gps let me down big time for some strange reason (app locked up, couldn't quit, restarting phone bootlooped LoL).
I used the Elinux 2.3 and its great..
The Tasty is faster but the screen resolution still not compatible with beautifull gidget...
So i return to elinux!
Ele's hasn't let me down at all, only problems i had were due to me xD nice and snappy, stable. ^^
I have used 0.9 cronos and ele's one like bot of them but I seem to have issues with Gingerbread roms in general
Basically after a while the bottom keyboard Keys dont seem to work , an I have to press really hard. or not work at all
But works perfect If I flash original 2.1 rom so am back on the official ROM
But if new rom comes out I do a quick adb root and try em I love the excitment of rom flashing

uh oh. gb might get warmer which is showing teh beginning of a touchscreen hardware issue with your phone probably.
definitely stay away from hot running roms on that phone
I have used the 5th and 9th nightlies of CM7 so far. Build 5 was slow in some areas, particularly with LauncherPro (I removed ADW because I honestly don't like it), but it was otherwise usable in day-to-day situations. Build 9 is significantly better so far; the only thing that would make me completely happy with it would be fully-working on/off animations (if it's possible on Hero hardware).
I wondered why there is no further development on the camera function for GB. I had tried the latest Elelinux GB and then Cronos GB. The camera pictures captured were just terrible (colour almost washout)! Camera on Froyo is still fairly good and very useable. Otherwise, GB really offers something nice for our Hero. Too bad for the camera (on GB), I'm back to Erasmux's Floyo again.
Elelinux is by far the best GB ROM.
I think Elelinix is great enough.........
Using the brand new Cronos Gingerbread 1.1.0 (the non animation version)
Sooooo fast now.

[Q] Experience with Ginger Roms? [Faster than Froyo Roms?]

Hey,
im currently running Floyo on my HTC Hero. Im wondering what is the currently fastest and best running Rom out there.
Are the other Froyo Roms out there better than Floyo? Why are they better?
Shall i test the Gingerbread Roms? Are they faster than the Froyo Roms? Do they run better on your Devices ? What about the battery life?
fiden
from my experience I think elelinux 6.2 is the fastest, but for me it's also a little unstable unless he's solved that problem since I used it (which was a few weeks ago).
floyo is really good too though so you might want to stay where you are.
make sure to use launcherpro which is by far the fastest launcher on the hero.
gingerbread is fairly fast but not really as instantaneous to respond to your taps as some of the faster older roms out there. I actually find that cronos eclair light is the fastest rom to respond to my commands, but it's a highly modified 2.1 sense rom which means you're limited to 2.1 features (if that bothers you, it annoys me now that I'm used to gingerbread).
It's a trade off really. gingerbread is the best os so far, but it does have a couple of graphical framerate issues in UI screen transitions and some 3d stuff.
It's camera might not be quite as fast or good as with older roms also, however I'm not convinced of that yet.
You can always create a nandroid of your current setup (or a bart which will be a bigger backup but will include your ext partition - sort of a necessary thing imho). then wipe all and try a gb rom. you can restore to your floyo bart backup any time if you decide to.
Froyo at the moment is very rock stable and still faster than Gingerbread (Beta). It's like comparing Windows XP and Windows Vista. GB beta offers something interesting. However, from time to time, you may experience FC, lag, GPS problem, unexplained reboot and some apps not useable (not updated yet for GB). The default camera on GB is still bad, very colourless. If you use alternative like Camera 360, only then it is good. If you use GPS a lot, bear in mind Runkeeper or Buddy Runner will have problem connecting to GPS. My daily working ROM is also Floyo 1.20. Use Nandroid to backup your Froyo first. Wipe all, Flash any GB ROM (I had tried Ele's 0.6 and Cronos' 1.10) to try out yourselves.

I haven't tried LP for a few months, but I am quite sure Zeam is faster
Of course Zeam doesn't have as many features.
Ive been running GB for about two weeks and have only had one lock up. (mind you I was reinstalling all my apps while trying to listen to music so probably my fault there..)
Only had 1 FC and that was in Gmail after I changed my signature in the settings but hasnt done it when I edit it since.
Havn't noticed any lag (then again I use Zeam, which flies along anyway),
and I get 3 days battery, half a day more than froyo with the same usage. (then again its using a different Kernel compared to what Froyo was using so that may be why).
As for colourless camera, ive not noticed any difference at all since updating. if it does worry people that much, you guys do know that the stock camera has settings for bumping saturation/contrast/etc up right..? and it remembers the settings so set and forget..?
But yeah. I switched to GB as soon as I was getting reports through it was all stable and nice and I have not been disappointed. In froyo I always used to run into market install problems every so often (items would download but not install, no matter what froyo rom I used this problem used to come and go randomly.) none of that yet!
Have not tried the GPS yet on a proper drive, but on preliminary tests (local runs around the block on foot and in car) I get a fix within 6seconds inside the house by a window and 4seconds out side, Google maps, Copilot and runkeeper all working fine.
As others said. Make a nandroid, full wipe, flash and have a try for a few days.
If you say the Ginger-Roms are still not stable, i will not test them and wait a little time until they are stable . Thanks for your help!!
So is there a difference between the Froyo Roms out there? Shall i test the others like Froyd or Elelinux or Cronos? Somebody made experiences with TastyFroyo from RaduG?
fiden
Im running Cronos Ginger (non-Anim)....
Its much faster than the froyo ROMs i had used in the past. Only problem is that some apps refuse to work... like Opera Mini, Angry Birds 1.5.1
But its not a big deal, its my day-2-day ROM and very useable
So far I'm finding the GB roms pretty damn slow (all of them, including fresh Cyanogen). The fastest ROMs are still probably modded 2.1 sense ROMS, but then your trading features for speed. There are a lot of very fast, stable and feature rich 2.2 ROMs out there though, so that is the safe middle-ground right now.
I've tried a bunch of ROMs, but as far as I can say, Elelinux's CM 7.0.0-based ROM (v0.6) is the fastest of all. Gingerbread ROMs for the Hero have gotten pretty fast over the last couple of weeks.
And concerning the launchers, I'd say Zeam's the fastest.
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
I've tried a lot of rooms too. When I went from eclair to froyo, I found many useful new functions (tethering the first one), but from froyo to ginger what are the advantages? I tried, but then I went back to floyo, the froyo version which gives me the highest scores on tests...
Tests arnt the be all and end all
For example, Tasty gingerbread rom gave me the best scores. but the UI was laggy as hell. the tests are just how information is moved about as apposed to how fast YOU can interact with the device. I hardly ever run tests any more I just use the best testing equipment for me, my eyes lol
hey thanks to all you answers.
So i put an eye on the new Cronos Froyo 1.8.0, which is out since the 10th. Somebody here who tested Cronos Froyo and somebody who can tell me about his experiences with CF?
Cronos is a very good developer... ive tested his roms in the past and there were many good roms out there a couple of them were the best out there!
What about Cronos Froyo?

CF 1.8 is great. Coming from CG 1.1 but CF is much much much faster! Try it, in my eyes no G rom is faster than Froyo.

[Q] Even with all the stickies, can't find a decent rom, maybe with sense too

Its for my father's HD2, Windows Mobile is pretty much useless nowadays, and he loves the Voice Search feature on my Evo 3D. Its going to be a NAND rom, not booting from SD, that would be too annoying for him to use.
Thing is, there are only about 1000 roms for this thing....... even dozens of versions of Cyanogen.
And on top of that, I don't know how well some of the custom roms with Sense 2.0 or 3.0 would work, or if any are missing hardware support.
I understand you lose performance if you add-on alternate UIs like sense, but how big is the performance hit? Hes not going to be playing high-end 3D games or performing protein folding or anything on the thing, so as long as the performance loss doesn't hit the "Phone becomes laggy, input lags, and it takes forever to load anything" range, I would actually prefer a sense based rom than one without.
Again, I am doing this for someone that isn't TOO technical, though no stranger to computers either, so I don't need a rom packed full of overclocking and root tweaking options (though a rooted rom would still be preferred).
So then, are there any good Sense 3.0 roms for the HD2 available? Got any you recommend? Do they still support all of the phone's hardware?
If not, what would be your next choice? Is there much point in using Sense 2.0 over vanilla android other than the extra sense widgets which he would probably not care about? Sense 3.0 does have the looping home screens and the very functional lock screen that I know he would find useful.
Thanks, I know a lot of people ask for recommendations, but after searching for roms for days and basically flying blind in the "maybe this one will be good, its got a lot of people installing it" category I could really use some advice, especially for a Sense 3.0 rom... if they exist.

If you really want sense, go for a dhd sense 3 rom (Runnymede Sense 3.5 works well on mine), and if you really want looping homescreens, install launcherpro on any rom of your choice.
BUT I'd recommend a cm7/miui rom because in the end, it's still slow.

Not a fan of Sense 3.5 over 3.0 personally.
And just how slow is it compared to CM7? I mean, I understand CM7 will be faster than a sense rom, even CM7 with sense hacked in, but as long as its not laggy or sluggish thats fine, I don't need it to break benchmark records and run the latest 3d software.
I really like the sense 3.X roms... and i don't find them THAT slow (i have a DHD).
But that god damn graphic glitch is anoying, and i'm not going to disable GPU rendering of sense to get it working without glitches... must wait

Im new to NAND HD2, but not new to the HD2 ( sold my 1st one, just got another the other day ) but I just flashed my first Android NAND ROM and I noticed all thse graphic glitches, i thought it was something else. But apparently its a common problem for everyone? No fix Im assuming.
Anyways im curious what you mean by DHD?
GHetting to performance, HD2 isnt bad at all! Im old time Android owner going back to the G1 and myTouch 3G.If you wanna see degraded performance try flashing a Sense rom on a G1 or 32B device. OWwwo
Well I can recommend Rafdroid rom. Its Sense2 stock froyo. Works mostly well.
So, did they ever fix those graphic glitches people keep complaning about?
MIUI builds are very slick, very impressive on the HD2, can't imagine it being any slicker or faster as there seems to be zero lag whatsoever.

I have the same question (which ROM to use?) but this post still doesnt not give me a clear answer. I have been using Mikhei777 sense 3.0 version (original) but it has lots of lag and is fairly sluggish. He has upgraded it a few times but now seems to be spending more time on the sense 3.5 version. Its my wifes phone so do not want to keep trying new versions. Just want someone to recommend a known good stable version...

Strange, I can't find that one here:

I've been using Mikhei777's Android 2.2.1 Sense 2.0 rom for quite some time. It works great and haven't had any problems at all with it. The wifi hotspot works also. Not sure about bluetooth and USB tethering stuff. Don't use them. He deleted a lot of the useless system apps but there is a rar file you can download from the first post that has all of the deleted stuff in case there is something you want to put back in it. I've only put on Facebook and the text to speech stuff. I'm not using an ext on my phone since I have a TMOUS HD2 so, I don't have memory issues. Give it a try. If you don't like it you can always flash something else.

exactly, wise words...
if you want a good rom with everything working, miui is the way to go. If your friend is not a hardcore techie, he better stays away from those Sense roms. try it for yourself and compare.. but seriously feature wise Sense is so outdated compared to miui (except the htc widgets maybe).
cheers
The worst about MIUI, it's that laggish launcher/desktop.
I don't know why... it fells "low frame rate".

That's why I use PAT's MIUI Rom with Sense launcher. It combines the best of the 2 world's. Very fast,customizable and everything is working like in other MIUI rom's and a very good, customizable launcher with the most important sense widget's.
No graphic glitches, not a disabled GPU acceleration and camcorder with full resolution and without lags. And the newest Android 2.3.7 version.
Use this rom since some month's, will never go back to the slow sense rom's. Only the dialer facebook integration of the sense dialer isn't there, but I don't have facebook and Co. But there is already an alternative dialer on the market, probably he can also display the actual feelings (posted in facebook) of the incoming caller and such nonsense.

now you have surprised me not sure which version of miui you are refering to, but i am on jan-willems miui and there is zero lag (its butter smooth) on the luncher. basically there are no issues at all.
btw installing a 3rd party launcher on miui is a no go, as it decrases the fuctionality.. people no offense, but you need to read the miui bible

one question, what do you mean by:
"Only the dialer facebook integration of the sense dialer isn't there, but I don't have facebook and Co."?
When i get a call from a Facebook contact i can actually see its profile pic from facebook. On contact details i also see his status or last comment or whatever its called clicking on it, opens the facebook app and goes to this comment. is that what you meant?
If you are looking for a good ROM, Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.

Yes!
There are missing also the hardware switching widgets (WLAN, Mobile Network...) but all is in the top status bar. You have only the contacts and the calendar widget, but it's enough for me.

But no hardware acceleration or with graphical glitches, only the new sense kernels should solve this problem. I don't know if there already stable.
How many free ram do you have after start with this rom?
