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?

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.

V6 supercharger

I was wondering if anyone here was using the v6 supercharger I found on the evo section on the shift?
Sent from my speedy miui with 1.9 of overclocked goodness..

Yes i have used v6 supercharger script and it works very well. Just make sure the rom you are running doesnt already have ram script built in. I cant remember what settings i used, i know i used 12 (bulletproof launcher) and i think it was 3, or 8 but im not sure. I run mikshiftedG and the latest update has juwe11's ramscript built in so not really a need for v6 anymore...
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Have used V6 SuperCharger. Don't need it now, but it does work very well . You just have to experiment to find the right settings for your use.

thanks for the input.. im currently using miui 1.8.26 and mainly wanted to test out the turbo 3g

Where do we find this script?
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy

The Script is on the thread for V6 SuperCharger . The installation thread is HERE.

What setting have you guys seen the best results with?
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy

It's been a while, but if I remember right I was running setting #8 . Also, ran #6 for a bit. Liked #8 better, but as I said it's been a while. You should experiment and see what works best for your particular setup.

And what is this exactly for/benefit?

Helps your System better manage the Ram it has. So you can have more Free Ram available at any given time.

It alters the internal ram management settings so its tweaked for your device instead of using the default generic settings. People should be using this and not task killers on android 2.1+.

I was thinking of using this cause i had to get a refurbished phone from sprint and it came with 2.3.3 and im constanttly getting the htc loading screen. If i temp root my phone and run this, will the changes it makes stick after i reboot?

Nope... The script manager app needs root to run. Meaning every reboot you would have to re-temp root your device start script manager and choose your options.

But it still might be worth the effort from what I've seen. Stock unrooted GB Sense reloads constantly .

Agreed

Thanks for the answer, that's what I figured. I've been calling sprint trying to get a different phone cause I love this phone rooted, but without root its terrible. Sense reloads are driving me insane. I use my phone a lot but id have to say I had at least 30 sense reloads yesterday.

You might have to downgrade your busybox... Xda search v6 supercharger and in the thread it will tell you what version of busybox is compatable...

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?

I think cm7 might do better. Try it yourself Maybe it will run. If it wont, update to official 2.3.5 beta1 and then to cm7 or miui. It has its risks, but its worth it. better cam, and most importantly BETTER 3D

Hi, i have edited the build.prop file, trying different stuff that came up with google. No luck.
The market does recognize my phone as Desire HD, but it still does not allow me to install it.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that i can use to verify changes?

Battery drainage - No.
Notice a difference - hard to say on its own because I use it with other mods. I rooted and flashed clockwork recovery, changed launchers (to LauncherPro) and abandoned Touchwiz though am still on the stock rom; added SD card cache boost; used the V6 supercharger, modded my build.prop, and the end result is my Gtab is super smooth in daily use with essentially no issues.
