I have been playing around with ATT Android phones over the last several months. I started with a Nexus One, nice phone very fast. Then purchased an Aria for the fun of it... again fast phone but too small. Lastly yesterday I picked up the Captivate, and with a 1ghz, the Aria seems faster than this phone. Seems to lag between screens and boot. Is it just me or anyone else see this? Is there a quick fix for this? Anyone?
Oh I hate touchwiz, worthless crap for a UI.....loaded ADW launcher instead
thanks
Larry
It really is a software thing with Touchwiz. After I installed Launcher pro I never looked back and it has been a lot faster.
There may be a bunch of apps running slowing the phone down. I have Advanced task killer, and kill a bunch of app every once in a while when It starts feeling slow.

Where did you find this Launcher pro, and how much faster is it than stock?
Check #17 out in this post. The Euro version owners have known about this for some time.
There are some fixes - but, most likely not until we can get some custom ROMS.
Launcher Pro helps a lot, just search the app market for it.
Ive been doing side by side comparisons of my N1 running CM6 and the Captivate all day. The Captivate is faster 95% of the time. Both running ADW launcher.
You can load ADW or LauncherPro from the Market. When you set as default home, you will not be able to use "Touchwiz" widgets.......

A crapload faster. After installing it, the device is like lightning , haven't had any pauses. Just search the market. Think it is a beta.
Yes to all new samsung galaxy S owners get rid of the ****ty touchwiz launcher it sucks and its laggy as hell, get launcher pro instead.
whats the best widget pack to replace the touchwiz ones
is there a way to port sense widgets? (push from a htc/pull to captivate or something)

eventually. Widget packs.. hmm you should just try out new stuff, explore and what not
Also, new news so to speak - LauncherPro will be coming out with a lot of integrated widgets that are similar to the SenseUI widgets.
Koxx - here on xda has made some really great widgets. I think I have purchased them all. MoonSpoon (used to be a very active themer and now is a lurker due to being busy elsewhere) made themes for all of Koxx's widgets.
If I just want to go back to the default Android drawer can I install the Launcher.apk from a Cyanogen 5.8 rom?
Even with Launcher Pro there seems to be some lagging issues. On the Vibrant thread, the a subject on Fixing Stalling/Lagging. On the vibrant it seems you can partition your SD card and have the files run off of it. They said that it runs faster on the sd card then the built in memory card. I trying to do this procedure but kind of stuck. I can't seem to get the phone in download mode. Still searching around if i can find out i let you guys know. Meantime check out the thread and if you find out or know how post it up on the Captivate side. Not much instructions on "HOW TO MOD CAPTIVATE" in our thread.

Arguably, I don't see why this wouldn't work on the Captivate. Granted, I'm not going to be the one to try it right now, but it really should work just like that. Anyone feeling ballsy enough to give it a try?
I trying to get it done. but i am just not sure how it's done. trying to follow procedure but can't get pass step one. LOL

I did it. It works great.
No more stalling at the moment, and my Quadrant score went up 100 points as well.
But be sure to follow the steps, and make sure you have enough room in data/data, and keep in mind that you can still fill data/data up with app installation. Google Earth is particularly bad about eating space here.
And keep in mind that the Galaxy S people that did this find that eventually it starts to stall again, so this is a band-aid.
When I get home tonight, I'll try the better, more effective SD card method, don't have an easy way to make an /ext3 partition on an SD card at the moment.

You need an external SD card, a program that will let you partition the ext3 format, and then you just need to follow their commands. Where are you getting stuck, maybe I can help guide you.

There's a few tools, but most will require a live CD to utilize.
My X has been running slow and a little funny. I have froyo 2.3.15, with FlyX Rom, Revolution Themes, LauncherPro Plus, and Beautiful Widgets all running. Revolution was the last thing I added about a week ago and ever since then, it seems to be running different. Its slower to react, doesn't change from portrait to landscape very fast, whenever I unlock the screen, if I'm holding it straight up and down, it always opens into landscape mode. This seems like a pretty standard setup to a lot of people on here. Any advice and info on this topic would be appreciated, or just conversation about what others are running similar or different. Thanks a lot!
(also, I ran quadrant benchmark with scores between 1440 and 1495)

I cannot recall whether or not FlyX includes the build.prop modifications or not, if not you would definitely want to make those. Other than that the only other thing I would recommend is giving MinFreeManager a shot, it changes the "low memory" requirements for the built in memory manager (task manager) of android. If configured properly it can really make a difference in both battery life and performance (not speed, but responsiveness). It does not do it for you, it lets you set the fields, so learn how to do it first, it varies depending on your use of your phone, I don't run any facebook or other streaming applications so my settings are 6,8,16,60,60,150 but this could vary greatly, and may adversely affect others, so read up on the app in the market.
Again that app will improve responsiveness, in that it will give you less delay when swyping the screen in the UI and such, in that your phone does not have to kill a task to free up memory to complete the next task, it will not improve benchmarks, at the same time, poor memory management will give you poor performance in real world use but may not affect your benchmarks, another reason that benchmarks are poor ways of measuring performance.
Outside of that, what it really comes down to is our Android systems need hardware acceleration... Google really needs to get of there... well... you know... and get with the game here, based off the recent discussion and their advisement to manufacturers to hold of the release of tablets until the next android release, I am hoping they are currently implementing it, but without GPU hardware acceleration in the UI and web browser, we will constantly have the appearance of choppiness and the illusion of poor performance even on our overqualified phones... it is one area where I am sad to say the iPhone has us beat... very sad to say... as a matter of fact, I just washed my mouth out with a bit of soap...
EDIT: a good example of how well that application worked for me over actual "tasks killers" on the market such as task killer and such... before having this app installed and configured, a quick investigation of "settings, applications, running services" and viewing the available memory, it would display "Avail:16MB+98MB in ##" after having this app and having it configured it displays "Avail:72MB+116MB in 26" I am assuming my poor UI responsiveness was due to the first of the two numbers...
Yeah I always hate to say that about iPhones too but they do seem to keep the same speed and responsiveness ALL the time... Oh well, they've been around a little longer so Android will just have to keep working on it. I believe it'll be there soon. I will try that app you recommended. I appreciate the speedy response.

no problem, yeah, the iPhone has had GPU hardware acceleration in the UI since it came out, they structured their OS around it, Google chose otherwise, and I can only hope they regret that decision now... but hopefully they will make amends for that...
just make sure you read the post referenced in the app itself. It is written for the HTC Hero which only has 288MB of Ram as opposed to our 512MB Ram, but it still basically applies.
Keep in mind:
It does not automatically set on reboot until you tell it to, do not tell it to until you are sure the settings you have set do not mess with anything.
You probably will not notice a difference for about an hour... at least that's how long it took for me to truly notice a difference... I'm not really sure why, it apparently took that long for the priorities to take affect, and get the right processes killed, etc., etc. After that, especially later that day I was truly noticing a difference, especially in typing... I have always had a delay when typing on this phone, and that seems to be gone now...
yeah i was guessing that. i read an article at androidcentral.com about it and just set it to aggressive for now. applied it, but the specs under "running services" haven't changed so i'll give it an hour or so. i'll let you know how it turns out. thanks again!

Sounds good, your welcome and good luck!
If those settings work out for you without any problems, you'll probably want to up them a bit, it might say aggressive, but they are only so aggressive... If it makes a big difference for you then stick with them, if you still have slow down, and you are running what you described before, you can probably get away running settings similar to what I posted, just don't have them set on boot just in case, if they don't work out you can always set them lower or back to a preset. It is definitely something you can expiriment with, if worst comes to worst, you can always reboot, but as long as you don't touch the first 4 values, you won't mess anything up, the worst that you will do with the last 2 is temporarly screw up facebook sync. or something similar, and really you can get away with changing the 4th value to, it just has a chance of affecting more things, but I doubt you'll end up affecting anything with values around 50 anyway. Like I said, experimenting never hurts, slow phones do... Just keep an eye on it ;-) good luck again.
To add a little correction.if you are running fly x then you are not running 2.3.15 you are running the earlier related release it Is based on. Even if you did have2.3.15 before installing it fly x over writes the system to the files it uses. All roms do. Do you actually have like 2.3.9 I think
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
It does say 2.3.9. I inquired about this before because I used teamblackhat to get .15 and the system never seemed to change to .15 every time I tried to download it... I guess that's why, because of flyx...

After reading Captian Taco's post I was eager to try it out, and its actually making a big difference =D thanks!
Yes it is... its been running much smoother and more responsive all day. Thanks again captaintaco... (boy thats kinda funny to type...)

Thanks CaptainTaco! Installed MFM to clear up my "lag" issues that are usually experienced in the evenings after a reset first thing in the a.m. each day. Before MFM it wasn't a huge deal to do a reset to clear up the issue, but I much prefer it to just work right all the time.

Hey don't thank me, thank the creator of MFM, I'm pretty sure he was one of the first to discover the power of Androids integrated minimum memory management, if not the first. Just glad to share my discovery of his discovery haha. But yea, to be honest I don't even use a custom Rom anymore, it runs so quick just having that (thought it works even better in conjunction with your standard simplistic task killer such as "advanced task killer" just to kill apps in the foreground after you are done with them, since many apps don't include a way of closing themselves out...
I still try the custom Roms out and play around with them for the hell of it, but as for right now, I rely heavily on corporate integration, and most of the good blurless Roms remove features required for true and proper corporate sync, such as calender sync and the like... and I just don't like touchdown pro... So this helps me out greatly... remove some bloat, throw launcher pro on there, and get this fix fired up, phone runs like a dream... now if only they could get exchange active sync running like it was on Sense... best implementation I have seen of Exchange active sync so far... I do miss that...
Well after all the advice I ended up installing the zapx rom last night. Wow! It is sooo fast... everything just responds and reacts so much faster than before. I suggest installing zapx to anyone. Best rom so far I think...

hi all,
although i am not a noob to android, custom ROMS etc i am a noob to the eee pad transformer.
i have a few basic questions, which am sure more experienced people can anser in a jiffy:
1) whats the best root method for an up to date device? ie latest version of honeycomb and latest dock firmware. having scanned the forums i see a number of options, razorclaw looks the easiest to me, does anyone think not?
2) whats the best rom in terms of battery life and customability ( yes i am a customise freak!!). i.e i will want to OC and customise the innards out of it.. revolution rom seems to hit the spot so far, any other suggestions?
3) does anyone know if juice defender works on the eee pad? or is it better to use the airplane toggle app instead ( makes sense due to the lack of a 3G radio).
4) are there any kitchens to create my own custom rom?( long shot i know?!)
5) whats your favourite type of cheese? mine is a good strong, hard cheddar.
that is all.
many thanks
1. Razorclaw! its easy just run apk and actually your only option as the other methods do not work on latest updates.
2. I have only tried revolver. I liked so much did not bother flashing anything else. Compared to stock which i only ran for a day it seemed much smoother and battery is great.
3. I do not think you will need either.
4. ?? there may be something out there u can use.
5. Cheddar!

1.) Razorclaw, one click, done. So easy you will doubt at first you are rooted. (I did)
2.) Revolver with revolver parts... Nothing else like it.
3.) I use juice defender on my phone but found it useless on the transformer. The OS has the ability built in to auto disable wifi when the screen is off and that is all juice defender would do.
4.) Yes, and good luck!
5.) Sharp cheddar!

once i have rooted i will have a test of revolver first i think, seems to have the most customisable options so far.
Can someone clarify what's the deal with recovery on newer devices?
From what I can gather, if a device is B70 or newer, root and CWM can be installed easily, but NVflash will not work, so if the device gets bricked, or you need to claim it on warranty, there is no way to flash back to total stock including recovery?
Is this correct?

1. Razorclaw I think is the only one for newer like the B90 and everything.
2. I've tried Revolution and no offensive to revolution users I just found it a bit boring. I loved the browser that came with it and it was faster but there was little customization. I was originally hesitant to go with Revolver because I don't like the Xoom buttons and layout, but you can easily get the Asus Stock buttons and apps back. I am using ICS theme and I love it! I love how it even has the user agent option. It did not have that on stock. I noticed this the other night too but even when I do multitasking there is a little red X to close the window. I don't think that was there on stock. The opening animation is awesome too.
3. No idea what that is. I thought that android was really smart with the usage and multitasking and something about having 12 partitions. Sorry can't help ya there.
4. Isn't there a Chef ROM thing somewhere on the main forum sections? Never been in there but it says it's the best place to learn.
5. It used to be cheddar but I really love swiss now.

Did you try 'revolver parts' from the market? A free load of kernals, themes and many, many other options. All built be the same chap that built the revolver rom, by the way, he is only a young kid still at school. Respect to him
Am all rooted and suited now.razorclaw and on revolver rom. Am going to try the UOT kitchen and see if I can cook up some more mods for revolver.
Sent from my mind to yours using only the power of suggestion.
You an change the style of the buttons with revolver parts....
Okay, I may not have 1xxx number of posts, but I read, search, and try. If you're going to judge me from my number of posts, please grow up.
Aside from that, I've tried a **** load of configurations on my SGS2 since I got it in January(2012).
Including but not limited to:
Siyah Kernel, all kinds of mods, and configuration sets from various great tweakers out there, such as MagicPrefs and others.
N.E.A.K kernel, Dream Kernel by team Sky Fire, Dorminax, and many, many others.
I've tried many roms, Stock, CheckROM, Hydrogen, AOKP, CM7-10, etc.
After all of that mixing, matching, testing and using, I've finally come to a conclusion on the perfect build, that makes your phone super fast, stable as a rock, and best part is, it takes minimal tweaks. I've noticed the more "tweaks" I've loaded my phone with, the more, uh..funny it gets in terms of compatibility and issues down the road. And remember, tweaks don't necessarily mean improvement. At some point, I couldn't keep a phone log for more than a few days from the amount of flashing and changing I did..
So here it goes.
At the time of this writing,
ROM
cm-9-20120819-NIGHTLY-galaxys2
Start clean of course, wipe everything and install.
Kernel
Stock (the one that comes with the ROM above)
If you want to tweak the kernel or something, use the built-in Performance menu. I usually use ondemand/conservative on 200-1200. When I need super battery saving mode which is rarely, I go down to 200-800.
Tweaks
V6 SuperCharger
This is where all the magic happens
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16635544#post16635544
For the installation, it may seem overwhelming with the weird structure of information that tries to appeal to the advanced and novice, but its really simple(and friendly ). I suggest skipping the step one, the one that says about installing fixed su binary, and the whole "Super Charger Starter Kit" I tried it and it messed up my Super User instead, go straight to installing the script, works wonderful.
Other small tweaks which don't change the performance per say, but if you like a fast reactive phone, I recommend you try this:
In developers menu, set all the Animation scales to 0.5x from the default 1.0x. It simply speeds the animations. And if your launcher supports animation speed adjustments as well, such as Nova Launcher which is what I use, use Fast animation settings as well.
DPI
Many of us like to change the DPI, I recommend 213.
Why? Its the same as the Nexus 7, meaning you wont have to go through funny hoops to get Google Play Store working, and its decent, not too big nor too small.
Tip
If you hold the phone with the left hand, you're blocking the wifi chip antenna which is located in the bottom left of the phone. Try using a right hand grip on the phone when you're low on signal strength.
Use the app GetRIL app, it will suggest a matching Modem with your network for your phone.
Thats all. If I'm to sum the past 8 months of experience into one super knowledge of ultimate wisdom, this is it. No funny weird bugs. No 50 million kernel tweaks that don't seem to be doing much other than making the phone more unstable, etc. Only thing I miss is having a volume boost. I keep Voodoo Louder for that, but of course Siyah's built in free volume boost is great.
From here on, its preferable you know what you want in terms of apps. install what you need only. Nothing more, nothing less. If an app seems problematic, freeze/uninstall it.
And really, enjoy your phone. Forget flashing a new build every 6, 12 hours, or day or two depending on how severe your case of flashing is, and use it as its meant to be used.

What if flashing/tweaking/messing about IS the foremost enjoyment of "using" this phone... Not all people are alike :angel:
interested
but i dont get the infos from the supercharger thread right
its def too chaotic
I'd be weary of the getril app, some people have had problems with it
stable ?
AOSP dont like my phone for some reason
allways find it freezing on me
worst adivce ever
Lol, simple step for a stable S II is, ditch ICS and go back to Gingerbread.

If you hold the phone with the left hand, you're blocking the wifi chip antenna which is located in the bottom left of the phone. Try using a right hand grip on the phone when you're low on signal strength.

Yeah I got slightly confused and overwhelmed at first too. All you gotta do really after installing CM9 is:
Download SManager
Download the V6 supercharger script from his thread, and rename it to end with ".sh" and place it in your internal storage root
and thats all the files you need. Use SManager to run the script with the su button on.

I've been using it since my sgs days. IMHO, it gives you boost. Some devs actually use the sqlite script which is also present in supercharger. Any rom can use the script. You have to run the script. However, if you have super su installed it may break its binary which could give you issue. But I think it can detect whether you have super su and it will abort the su binary installation. Believe me your phone will fly.

Supercharger plays around with minfree values and hence it's effective on phones with less RAM. GSII comes with 1GB which is more than enough for ICS or JB.

It does more than just that, but regarding the RAM, you can't really have enough RAM. 2 GB would obviously be better than 1.
The other day I was playing Dungeon Defender Second Wave, and I got a call while I was playing, so I hung up and guess what? The game exited. My brothers S3 (2GB ram) can handle that no problem.
So I tried this with Thunderbolt script with LMK set to 60MB I think, and I was able to multitask the game and a phone call, while still on the same hardware.
Jeezuz! How can anyone understand what to do?
The OP of V6 Supercharger thread is just a fragmented mess off different things, why is it not just simple?
Usual XDA members, think everyone knows everything about phones or you're a lazy sod who can't be arsed to read.
Well I have tried to get it working and read the complicated mess and after I tried to install starter kit which aborted, so then tried running main script like OP said he did, through script manager, said busy box needed updating and took me to site, installed it, ran again, still problems with busy box???

Download the supercharger starter kit then download script manager from play store. Open the script manager with su permission. Browse the folder supercharger kit from sdcard. The kit should be copied into the internal not to the external card. From the kit folder run the startmeup.sh with su permission. Then follow screen instruction. If your rom has super su icon, you don't have to install the su binary. However, if you mis this portion during installation the process abort its installation coz the script is auto detecting of the su binary. Cheers mate after this restart phone and it will fly.
Thanks, but after all that, its put me off even more!
Why can it not just be a simple apk or zip that automatically does all this messing about?

Is it even possible to install v6 supercharger on my stock rooted R800x? I tried to use the scripts to set it up and run it and it basically all bombed out and said access denied etc. The preparation script wouldn't install busybox, etc. Any tips?
Are you rooted?...I just installed this not 10 mins ago and its working fine..unless someone beats me to it...ill find the tutorial I used and link ot here.
I also just did it manually, I didn't use that starter script.

Yeah I'm rooted, I tried the starter script and it said it was working but a lot of stuff said "permission denied" , i mounted system as RW and I gave it SU permission. Then I tried to run V6 and I got it saying a similar error and a warning that i shouldn't continue so I killed it.
ok, well I used this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334834
it may be a bit out of date on the GUis..like when its asking for run as root it is really an SU icon. but its straightforward.
and it worked just fine...let me know if its still not working for you, ill take screen shots and post them here if you are having troubles still.
i find it funny that when i started using this my endurance level on the GO power meter app went from 64 hours @ 100% batt and only the phone, and auto brightness before i used this up to a big jump of 99 hours..this was using the holo launcher, then i was trying the smart launcher and it dropped back down to 63 hours..just didnt make any sense..but i guess ill keep fiddling with the script until i find something that works.

I tried to do it this way and not only did it seem to not do anything, it gave me a bunch of errors as well:

Will try your way later when I get home.
You should use the SuperCharger "Starter Kit" first. I had similar issues with the Supercharger script and it was because I had a version of BusyBox that seemed to cause issues with the script.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
I also encountered an issue while installing this "Starter Kit". It seemd to have had issues getting access to the folder where I had the files. I moved them to the SD root and I was able to install it then. After that, I ran the supercharger script and it worked perfectly.
I am on a R800a with locked bootloader and Stock Rom.

Yeah thats the one I used sorry I'm an idiot. I think the R800x may behave differently.
In the link I put the post ler said to use 1.18.2 busy box seeing as the ones above that gave errors....so ifar I haven't had any problems.

Yeah I changed to 1.18.2 and that worked, thanks for the tips.
Next question, do I need to run that 99supercharge on startup? Everything goes by so fast and its all a bit confusing.
After installing the v6 script. Go to the /data section on the internal in the script manager and after all the folders there should be a script that relates to the v6..set that to run as root and run on boot and you should be set. Glad I could help.

V6 Supercharger settings on stock ROM ?
Hi there,
Anyone can tell me what setting options they use when running the V6 Supercharger script on a stock Sony-Ericsson 2.3.4 ROM ?
It is crashing on me here and I had to recover through ClockWorkMod...
I have a R800i XPeria Play by the way...
Thanks in advance,
Hi there,
As nobody answered my call so far (dated from yesterday, ok... ), I come back to give feedback on my own experience.
I made the same on other threads related to a similar subject.
I tried again to install the V6Supercharger Script and manage to get through this time.
The first time, I guess I simply did not wait enough time.
In fact, I had to wait like almost 10 minutes on the Sony-Ericson XPeria logo (after the boot animation) before my phone came back to life.
It can be quite stressful !
After that, I went through the pin code entry screen and found out some of my widgets did not properly load and some applications were not showing up.
Therefore, I rebooted and everything went fine on the second time. All the apps showed up properly (only mixed up in the scrolling app section).
Launching the script again, it confirmed my phone was 100% supercharged with the following settings (script configured to run at boot as super-user) :
- DieHard launcher
- Rock&Roll Kernel
- Miscellaneous tweaks and 3G enhancement installed
- 512HP setting with V6 CustOOMizer option
- Minfrees set at 8, 12, 40, 47, 55 and 62MB
with 367MB of Ram (is this correct for the XPlay ?).
This was applied on the Sony Ericsson stock ROM 2.3.4 and the stock Kernel.
The first impression was that the scrolling between various home displays was faster.
I started Dead Trigger, running correctly (maybe just a bit slower, not sure) and when I exited the game, I had almost no Redraw time to wait.
Before V6 Supercharger, I used to wait around 5 seconds before all the icons were there again and I could scroll.
This time, the icons were right there and the scrolling hesitated for maybe 1 second but got super smooth again right after that.
Ok, this is to share my experience with you, guys.
No idea if anyone has experience on the XPlay ? Maybe using other settings ?
As there is a clear note that this script is not intended for heavy gamers, it tends to indicate it should not be really used on the XPlay, mainly used by heavy gamers.
What is your opinion on that ?
Cheers,

Not exactly true, that part only referred to the launcher status, you had the option to make it completely unkillable, which means that some intensive games just wouldn't run.
I myself am supercharged and it has no negative impact on gaming, so don't worry about using the script. I'm pretty sure I'm using the same values as you, and they work perfectly fine.

Oh many thanks !
I now understand the note appearing within the script.
For heavy gamers, the Hard-to-Kill launcher may even be better than the die-hard one... I should test this.
Anyway, I move to the 512hp unledded agressive settings to boost free ram available for my DeadTrigger and I am having great fun with almost no lag at all on a stock rom, stock kernel.
The fact I combined the V6Supercharger with the Bloatware remover for XPeria Play is helping a lot. Recommended !
Anyone knows what are the differences between the various Kernel options ?
I went for Rock and Roll Kernel as I didn't know if my kernel was stable enough for the Rockhard option...
Something I would have to test I guess...
Bye for now, :good:
I have stock rom and when i run the script i only get supercharge level at 50%, I even tried that patch jar thing and that does not work either
i get a message see owners guide and in that it says error 3 , i do not know what that is Can someone help me please
