Live Wallpapers Slows Down Phone

So it seems like every live wallpaper slows my phone down, bigtime. All animations are VERY choppy and laggy. Seems to happen to other people using the HD2 with Android as well. Any known fix?

dont use the lives, kills batt anyways!

I don't care about battery. I'm always close to a charger.

What build/kernel are you using? Obviously the live wallpaper is going to use more system resources and slow you down a bit as well as use more battery, but it shouldn't be too bad. try overclocking your processor with setcpu that could help. Also, try restarting after applying the wallpaper or killing some background apps that you aren't using to free up memory. I love the live wallpapers too but I prefer speed and performance instead.

Using the HD2 Nexus build (with the G-Sensor fix). Kernel is 2.6.32.15r8.2.

Even at 1.13GHz with performance governer enabled this happens to me too.
It's not terrible though, the animations just look choppy.

Yeah, it's annoying as hell.
See above for my kernel version...I really want to fix this. Seems almost like a video driver issue.

mine are fine with lives on, still smooth as before...must be lucky!

Android build? Kernel version? Radio? WinMo ROM?

Try overclocking with setcpu as well as my other suggestions, let us know how it goes, hope it helps!

I presume setcpu is a Market app?

Come to think of it this could be a stagefright issue. Not 100% familiar with it but i know it has something to do with video playback and chopiness, and there is a way to enable/disable it.

You can buy it on the market as 'donationware' but you can install it from the APK here.

Yes in market it's $2.99 or it's free to xda members you just have to find the thread, make sure you read some instructions on it first

using vbn win rom 2.12.50.2 radio, to be honest ivew tried so many droid builds i dont know what im using!says 2.2 hd2 android pimped by CMYLXGO,kernal 2.6.32.15r8? sorry dont know more then that!!amazing build, 2 days battery, so smooth and quick!!

Hm, I'm using the HD2 Nexus build with 2.14 Radio.

That build. That is the MOST stable one I've found so far. The G-Sensor even works perfectly, quite amazing.

Well I got SetCPU installed, but I don't know how to clock it higher than 998MHz...

All animated backgrounds run smooth for me. Kernel is hastarin 8.5.1 and ROM is MDJ Froyo Clean Sense v. 2.3 (old version).
Also, I run my phone at around 600 MhZ and undervolt it more than the default MDJ ROMs. Everything still runs smoothly. So it really should be running 100% smoothly on your phone - if it isn't, something is wrong with your ROM combination.

Need fast and battery optimized rom

Hey guys,
I've lost track on all the roms out there. So I hope you guys could help me finding a fast and battery optimized rom.
I'm currently using Darky's ROM, which is kind of nice,
but uses to much battery for me (only have 1.5 days).
I don't care about any special feature... just speed, market showing all apps and long battery life. Anything else is a nice to have...
thanks for your help

Hi,
Ive tried them all, but get best battery on darkyy 5.5, with voodoo advanced 1.1 oc 1200 kernel.
Dont know why but it is awesome!

how often do you need to refresh your battery?
And what is special about this kernel?

lol! How can you get the best battery when you overclock!?
I'm now running JPY stock and I think you get the best battery life by using the stock kernel (no overclock, no other filesystem like ext4). It's plenty fast as well...

Theres a good post from curio on why this works, will try and dig it out. Essentially, less processor time is used for the same number of commands. (Oc doesnt mean your devices constantly runs at 1200 mhz tho)

What can I do with my EVO shift if I root it?

Well I'm thinking of rooting my phone but I don't know what custom things I can do with it. So what can I do if I root my phone? Haha

Check the threads.. you currently can't root if your running Gingerbread.

Yea you currently can't root yet but when someone finds a method of rooting here's some of the things you can do
1) wireless tether (free) be able to use your phone as a wireless hotspot for free
2) make full backups of your system to restore to
3) Flash a sense rom that is optimized to speed up your device a lot
4) Flash custom kernels to overclock to speed up the phone and Undervolt to save battery plus more
5) Flash AOSP roms for stock android or flash something like MIUI which is a ROM with a different take on android
6) Batch Backup and restore apps
7) remove unwanted sprint bloatware
Those are just some of the things you can do

How much battery saving can be achieved by Undervolt?

A lot if you take a look at ScaryGhouls thread in the development forum he has a kernel called SUV which is Super UnderVolt and it means he put the kernel at very very low voltages. only some phones can handle the SUV though but he also has a stable one which is still UV'ed a lot. But his SUV one Is my favorite kernel devolped for the shift right now I love it. It saves so much battery. I can almost go a day and a half with it.
But until HTC releases source code he can't make one for sense 2.3.3 he only has one for AOSP roms

No problem. Once the evo 3D gets perm root the evo will shortly after that and then once the evo has it we will have it shortly after THAT.
Now that's not for sure but i would bet money tht will be what happens

[Q] Ram low

hey,
i'm using GingerDX v.010 and i'm only getting about 24mb ram, can anyone help me boost the ram so the phone doesn't lag?

Uninstall EVERY system ap that you don´t need and use the Supercharger script(Just search for it)

I used autokiller memory optimizer n set it to agressif, n i get over 70mb free.

You can get the supercharger ONLY from xda, and serach for autokiller on SlideMe.

NEVER use task killers. They just make everything worse!

Usually I find that the lower the free ram is, the snappier the phone is.

Does Supercharger script improve a lot? After that will the phone become as smooth as the original 2.1 rom?
Thx!

Oops, accidentally pressed thanks button instead of quote.
Yes, it does speed up the phone dramatically. Use it and see for yourself.

what it does??? does somebody need ram? why? there is always almost 200MB of RAM free. So our devices have 353MB and it's onli less than 30% used so i think nobody needs any of app or script to free ram why you buy phone with more ram and you do not allow phone to use it?
