Hey guys and gals. i'm done with BakedSnack. it started out well, but it's gotten so laggy that it's simply not usable. so i'm looking for suggestions for a new rom.
so far i've tried two OMJ's, three BakedSnack, a real early DamageControl and an early Fresh.
basically i'm looking for all the standard hardware(wifi, 4g, cam, etc) to continue functioning. i'd also like decent battery life(a whole day is more then enough) i don't want to lose my 50fps unlock. i'm also looking for something optimized for performance. apps opening and closing smoothly and quickly, screens animating smoothly and most importantly no lag while using swype(that happens now with BS and it's giving my all kinds of strange phrases when i try to type)
can someone suggest some new roms? and yes, i know i could go read through dozens of postings and look at features, but id much rather hear about their behavior in the real world.
thanks!!

Calkulin's EViO is what you're looking for. It's located here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
that looks really promising! but do i need to install a new kernel? i'm currently running bakedsnacks latest and i'm worried that it's part of my speed problem
Honestly, if Baked Snack is lagging, you might have a different issue. Lag issues are a lot of time related to your kernel. Try flashing Netarchy's latest (not the beta but the stable one...I forget the numbers) and see how that goes. I've tried almost all of the ROMs but haven't found anything as good as BS.
it started out awesome, everything was slick and zippy. now, about three weeks in, it takes nearly 45 seconds to get handcent to open. then when it does open, i have to wait 15-20 seconds for the keyboard to appear. then it takes a bit for the keyboard to get situated cause as soon as i try swipping, the tracer is all over the place :-/
could it be that the kernel didn't flash properly? maybe if i reflash, it'll fix my speed issues?
This is after you reboot the phone every day?

yessir. i had to, just to get a little relief.
Have you tried a simple wipe of your cache or davlick? You will not lose valued info and it will speed up your system.
Laggy yea ok, not sure what your doing but its not on the rom's end . I ran 1.7 for while and it was rock stable no lag no stuttering etc etc
As other roms go try them all see what one fits the needs you have

+1 wipe cache and dalvik and switch to a dif kernel either kings or nets would dobjust fine.

Sounds like a kernel issue to me also. I was running one of his tweaked "best battery" kernels, and started noticing some lag after a while, so I switched to what was the default kernel in 1.5 and the lag disappeared. Also, if you've been running the same bs for a few weeks, then you probably haven't updated recently (like me). Maybe you'll have a better experience with 1.7.

no i'm up-to-date. i'm running the latest 1.7.
See my sig with all my rom info and scores. Fresh is working lovely for me, and everything works. While some of the processor scores may be lower than what the Evo is capable of, I don't think those scores are bad when you consider I'm running Sense and I have a bunch of apps on my phone that are always hogging up resources (i.e. Facebook and Facebook for Sense, Lookout, eBay, Google Maps, HTC's mail, friendstream, Scoremobile widget, weather channel app, Swype, and a live wallpaper). These scores were achieved with Fresh's 3.1.0.2 rom, and I flashed the 3.2.0.0 which is based on the OTA that has not been released yet, but I lost many features with the new kernel from HTC that saves battery life, so I flashed king's kernel over it until the devs get a chance to play with the new kernel. All my root goodies are fully functional on Fresh 3.2.0.0 with Kings kernel.

whoops, my bad - see that in the third post. I got thrown off when I saw the comment about it being zippy at first but now you're having trouble 3 weeks in...
Try the wiping and maybe another kernel - say what you will about BS, but Hero does you give you kernel options!

i agree with the wiping before and choosing the proper kernel, also what resource intensive apps are you running? maybe you should post a list of installed programs, atrackdog allows you to export.
lastly, you can't shop without your wallet. *runs off*
I'm having no problems with BakedSnack 1.7 and kernel #5. It is the best Sense ROM, in my opinion.

I tried BS 1.7 on a fresh install today and I was not a personal fan. It would bog down and the camera could not focus for squat. Meh.
I really like evio because it does not resize pictures sent using the standard messaging client, a big bonus imo. Paired with BFS#6 and even though I keep trying other roms, I alwasy nand back to my evio.
How do you manage to get 50 FPS on your evo. i am also running the new fresh rom and i am only getting 30 fps. please advise

hey guys, i just had a thought. when i first installed baked snack i wiped with Clockwork recovery. now i'm reading reports that it may not be clearing the cache's like it's supposed to. could this be a cause??
Hi, i'm using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 right now and it really fast.
But when I install Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 or the nightlies, it is really slow.
Switching betweens screens lags really bad.
I use the stock gingerbread launcher btw.
The launcher is very fast on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
But I want to update to a higher version!
Please help me.
If you think its slow then you may be beyond help. CM is as fast as it gets and no one else complains about slowness or lag.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I found switching from 7.0.3. to the 7.1RC there was some noticeable lag but the nightlies are blazing man, they shouldnt be slow like you're describing. Have you done full wipe before flashing the nightlies?
Sounds like its time for someone to get a new phone. Can't imagine my phone being any faster than it is now though.
Full wipe with the latest nightly.
This is just weird.
I am going to format my sd card and start fresh, see what that does.
Use the superwipe, not just the factory reset. 7.1 RC1 had been the fastest rom I've ever used, seems like something is definitely wrong.

The stock ADW launcher is most definitely different than it's paid counter part ADW EX. I have found that the launcher is at times choppy and not really smooth, but when I finally broke down and purchased the paid version, I seen immediate differences.
CM is partial to the open source community, which I also agree with, and ADW stock is open source.
I'm using the stock 2.3 launcher
I had the same thing. Every release since RC1 was lagging, even with ADW EX. Tried everything, superwipe etc, different kernels, radio but eventually I jumped over to Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 with Sense 3.0. Finally my DZ is up to speed again. And on top of that after running almost a year non Sense roms its nice to have the newest Sense release which IMHO looks really slick! Only thing I am missing is column/rows and widget resizing.
But I want Cyanogenmod!
I'm not a big fan of HTC Sense.
I went from CM 6.1 straight to CM 7.1 and the upgrade was definitely noticeable. I use ADW Ex and have no problems with lag or the phone running slow, in fact its much faster than 6.1 ever was.
Also, I run the phone at 1024mhz with a minimum of 245 using the CM cpu speed tool. Ondemand governor.
this is my girlfriends phone, it's currently rooted and rom:do, running 2.2 with Bali 1.8 kernel.
Lately she has been complaining about everything being slow and esp her phone book, messaging app and other stuff just closing on its own when she is in it.
No force closes just closes like she backed out.
I went ahead and flashed the new touch wiz 4.0 just to see if it helped. It did for a short time, then the problem returned, I tried a different launcher, same problem.
I'm unsure what else to do or where to look as I've done everything I could think of, even remove apps and other things.
She has all her work information and stuff on there so she is anti wipe.
Can anyone think if what could be causing these issues?

You can try booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik and then do a fix permissions just for kicks and it should clear up some lag and spontaneous closes.
Thanks, I'll try the dalvik and cache wipe with fix permissions first.
To be honest I'm not new to Android and find myself pretty advanced with this stuff from the evo, to the epic and now the nexus and I've never had any issues like this, but then again when I had any problems i just would wipe down the phone and start fresh. I'll post back and see if that helps.

I agree with backing up the phone and then flashing a new rom. The ICS Passion ROM is awesome! Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961

Is she maybe Undervolted? Might want to try another kernel. Maybe Bali X 1.2 which will allow for and OC to **guess* 1.2. Other than that, I would say to pull everything off and put on PC and either reflash her ROM or put a new one on there.
If you are going to maintain it for her, then ICS-Passion is a good option. If not and she just wants a basic 2.2 that works, there is Bionix, Toxic8, Deranged9 and Fishman's Bionix (redux) which are all quality ROMs with great battery life.

That's what I was going to say. Did you recently flash the kernel? Just like the GPS, each Vibrant seems to react differently to different kernels. Myself, I cannot UV. Causes all sorts of wonkiness.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
i just cant get why this is happening, the phone was being super laggy, i rebooted it. right away on start up twlauncher force close, then it was laggy as hell.
i went ahead and started messing with govenors and it seemed to stop being laggy.
i went ahead and flashed Bali X from regular bali and overclocked it and went to ondemand.
then the phone kept getting the sleep of death and never would wake up, so i just went and flashed overstock kernel, and im leaving it ondemand for now.
i dont think these kernels are undervolted, but i always figured as for my nexus a too low of undervolt would cause a random reboot, not slow sluggyness.
im basically at the point of flashing a new rom, but trying to save the way everything is.
Hey sorry I forgot to tell you Bali X does not play well with on-demand. Set it to conservative or performance. Also if running profiles then no Screen Off. These cause sleep of death. My bad.

hey no problem, shes gone off to work, and the overstock seems to be doing well so far,
ill see if the problems return, if she does have issues ill go back to balix, overclock and set to either one of those you mentioned, im not running setcpu either, i use nstools for the cpu settings.
Scratch that, lol problems have returned and only a reboot will solve..

Hey, I had a serious issue with my Vibrant as well. I am on CM7, but this really helped. I'm too new to post links (lame), but google this "Problems with /datadata? Causing force closes for Google apps". Go to the Rootwiki page and read the thread. It should help.
I did this and thus far only a few FC every now and then, but easily cured through a "fix permissions" in recovery.
If you can't fix it I second the post saying to flash a different rom. Project v was pretty stable if I remember correctly. Also the new version of bionix 1.3.1 is supposed to be pretty stable too. And GPS!
Vibrant + ICS
Problems have returned, and it doesn't matter what rom i flash, same problems happen, things auto close without force close notices, doesn't matter what launcher i use or what rom or kernel, it's time for a full wipe.

Hello all,
Today i installed the CM-9 ROM by ErwinP on my 1 year old Wildfire.
Its good with some issues:
1. Camera doesn't work.
2. gallery has a bug. The albums were visible when we tap and hold on the screen and drag to left or right. when we lift the finger the screen goes blank.
3. menu loading is slow every time.
4. screen lock is present but you have to select slide in the lock screen settings.
For any further issues, i'll update here, as I am new to this forum.
Some facts:
The ROM after install takes 151.8 MB of internal memory.
I have custom MTD partition of 160MB and 15MB cache. I'm getting 290 of internal memory but the system initially is taking 40 MB(I don't know why.)
So, usable is 250MB internal memory.

that's probably the reason why you have more space on your internal memory because you forgot to flash gapps. incase you havent, flash gapps as what scratch and nejc suggested.. its also posted in op. its the latest gapps, about 52 mb in size so you will have to set your mtd partitions to default which is 250. im using the modified version which is just about 19 mb.
goodluck!
First of all thanks to all(Scratch0805,pauch_19 and nejc121) for your support in providing the information.
After getting the solution suggested by "Scratch0805". I again installed the ROM and along with the gapps at the same time. This time, I have taken the partition as 200 and 20. And after the boot, in terminal i found that system is using 186.4 MB. Still 13.6MB left.
Note: i installed the gapps with the size 51.88MB unmodified zip.
Now, everything works as it should have with camera as the exception.
One thing I want to know, what should be the CPU settings to follow for more than a day of battery life. Previously, i was using ON-DEMAND with 264-672MHz
and getting less than 22hrs of backup in CM7.

mine is 352/729 smartassv2. on minimal - regular use, mine last a day and a half..i really think it depends on phone usage.
@pauch_19 : So, it means you are not using any apps to control the cpu settings.
I also used the smartassv2 governor and i found that backup decreases as it was in on-demand.
But, the smoothness in using gets better in smartassv2. So, can you tell me which governor will be better in terms of battery life and speed or any post where its mentioned.
atm i dont have too many apps which is also i think one reason why my phone is alot smoother, responsive and gives me a very decent battery life. In performance - processor, my cpu frequency minimum is 352 and 729 max. i used this values even when i was on cm7 nightlies coz its much stable..havent tried it at 768 though cpu governor is smartass v2.

I'm using the miui rom which is basically a modified version of cm9, I use setcpu just to set an underclock profile for when the screen goes off. My settings are on demand176/576 and powersave 176/352 as I've noticed that unless i'm straining the cpu by playing angry birds or watching a video with on demand my cpu tends to stay low doing normal things like making a phone call or checking xda but with smartassv2 it seems to jump high even when it doesn't really need to.

@pauch_19 : As for your settings goes, it good for performance. And you are also getting good life out of it. Nice to know that. I also read a post earlier where members are saying CM7 is better than SplashMOD. If its true, kindly tell me If you know which CM7 nightlies version do i use and how to remove the apps(I once used CM7 # 256,I didn't like the camera UI but it was smooth though) I then, switched to SplashMOD 1.6.
@Scratch0805 : I like the CPU settings you were using. I will definitely try those when I'll install the SPlashMOD v2.0 downloaded yesterday. But, I haven't tried on 176 because i thought then I'll get delay in getting calls and also lag in the background process. If these are not the issues you are getting, then I will must use these, and I can say that I will get at least 35+hrs of backup. And how MIUI is as compared to CM9?
thanks again for the responses I'm getting.
Somewhere in themes and apps section is a thread for miui camera, its a flashable zip which will give you a much nicer camera ui than the cm7 one.
Miui is beautiful as a standalone Rom but gets even better if your prepared to put some effort in, it has the same bugs as cm9, but spend a few hours setting up workarounds and it runs like a dream, I only have 2 problems now 1 is the camera (nevermind tho, I have a digital cam anyway) 2 is if you like theming your phone miui is awesome for it, the only problem is it was designed for hdpi and gingerbread so all the top themes need modding to fit ldpi and ics.

Personally I haven't tried Splashmod so I really couldnt say CM7 is better. I only tried CM7 and Im really impressed at how Cyanogen turned it into a very nice and fast rom. Before trying erwin's CM9 I was on nightly 256 build 14 and everything is working well.
I will try that one also with the miui camera Scratch0805 suggested. If all goes well, at the end of the day I'll be using CM7.
The camera should be fine on any rom I think, splashmod is basically either cm7 or oxygen (can't remember which one its based on atm as the "dev" changes his mind more often than I change my wallpaper ) with some apps removed or substituted for another. Underneath though it will always be cm7 or oxygen.
I'm on miui v4 atm and loving it but I'd recommend till you get into the swing either cm7 nightly 256 or keep an eye on the cm7 thread and look for the unofficial builds which have been built by erwinp and cobje, they may have a few bugs though I doubt anything serious otherwise they wouldn't release it + we are still clinging on to some fairly talented people that will most likely suss out the bugs and let everyone know how to fix them in the thread.

you can also try marmite for it but if can compromise a bit of battery for awesome performance u can use devil kernel if no then marmite is a good balance between battery and performance

I'm reaching 72 hours uptime mark and RAM manager has started to act up. I occasionally feel lag and unresponsiveness when switching apps. Battery time is very good, 2 hours and 45 minutes of Display time, mostly browsing on low signal 3G (l'm on vacation), That's around what I'm getting on CM10 so it's pretty good for me.
I wish I have stronger Nexus device to run this ROM to it's full potential
Its the best rom ever for the nexus S, for the first time ever I have been able to populate my homescreens with lots and lots of widgets and yet it doesnt lag at all with scrolling. And the atrocious ram usage of the RC roms has been fixed with the stable, I can keep my phone running for a few days without any serious issues. This really gives almost new life to the nexus S just make sure you are using greenify.
Has anyone else not been able to get some apps to connect via 3G with this rom? They all seem to work fine on Wi-Fi, it's just with 3G that I'm having problems.
I experience crashes when playing videos using software decoding in MX player. The nightlies also have this problem.

no .. but remember to clear dalvik cache before flashing
The stable ROM has exactly the same problems as the previous nightlies (I've installed with full format of cache, data, system, dalvik, whatever):
- after few days it becomes laggish
- unreliable, happends to reboot itself. You can't even get to unlock screen sometimes; it happends even if somebody is calling you and you can't get to answer the phone
- do not use Chrome Browser otherwise it gets even worse
- if you use Swype keyboard the overall performance seems to be worse. With standard Keyboard it gets a little snappier but nothing that could be catalogued as "fine"
- people says it's cool because they keep the rom 1/2 days and then install nightlies or other stuff: when it's fresh from reboot it work fine, lots of free ram
- have more free ram by using Greenify but still the problems don't go away. It's overall heavier than a 4.1.2 (Which for some good reason Google made it as latest release for Nexus S)
- I've tried SlimBean with Thalamus Kernel and it's a little better for some stuff but basically the problems are much similar

What is the problem in giving it a reboot every few days? Nexus S has ALWAYS gotten slower even from the gingerbread days if you didnt reboot in ages.
I honestly think you should do a proper clean install because I really dont have that many problems as you say. 4.2.2 is the smoothest the nexus S has ever been, I am even running next launcher very smoothly and redraws are minimum. On 4.1.2 homescreen navigation was quite jittery with widgets and wallpaper scrolling, on 4.2.2 it literally fly's. That alone is enough reason for me to live with the slightly more ram usage.

Never had these problems with earlier Android. The reboot proves what I'm saying: he can't be reliable for long run since its performances degrade automatically.
If you read what I wrote I said I made a full clean install: wiped data, factory, dalvik, formatted data, formatted system.
Everything running great only problem is the GPS bug with Google Maps after exiting the app & turning off GPS for some reason GPS won't turn off only a reboot fixes it but other than that 10.1.2 stable is really great

running it has been really reliable but I do have ram issues even while using greenify... CPU on conservative mode too
is everybody's lock widgets OK? I seem to get a lot of wonkyness with pocketcasts,etc...
