Hello all. I have a T-Mobile MyTouch3G running the latest Cyanogen Mod 4.2.12.2 and I'm running into some issues with alittle lag. Every time I'm running an app for awhile the press the home button I keep getting "home activity force close errors". Or when i go back to the home screen it almost seems like it has to boot back up and load every shortcut back to my screen. Also once I wake the phone up from sleep "like say when i receive a text and i go to read it" its very laggy and takes about 20 seconds for it to start running smooth again.
I rarely have many apps running usually just power manager, gmail, and messaging. I have 210 MB of space available in my internal memory.
I've tried factory reset. Different versions of cyanogen but all to no avail.
I love this phone, by far one of the best phones I've ever owned. So if anybody has any idears that'd be great!
I think I would have taken a full wipe.
boot into recovery, and full wipe the flash CyanogenMod ROM again.
Try going to ur app drawer and click spare parts. Go all the way to the bottom and check the "put home in memory" -something like that-. I had a similar problem and that helped me with 4.2.11.1
Hi,
I had this problem on my Vodafone UK Magic with 4.2.12.2 and it seems that UNchecking "keep home in memory" helps (source attached link)
"In the several threads above, solutions/fixes include disabling 'keep home
in memory', enabling compcache, and/or enabling swap. "

Even though I'm saying the exact opposite of the poster before me, I hope this helps.

All options will work for you. But if you join them all its even better. Locks home in memory with spare parts and enable compcashe. You might also run fix_permissions. In your terminal type in:
su
fix_permissions
Enjoy
Problem Fixed!
thanks for all the input. I should have got on here along time ago instead of trying to fiddle with it myself. Two thumbs up xda community!
Ok so we know, at least most of us know, that there are way too many bugs with this phone.
Here is an other one to add to the list:
The camera simply does not work when I need it to.
I press the physical "take photo" button on the side of the camera and then I see the image of the camera come up and it hangs there for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, sometimes longer, then it goes back to the default screen, not the camera menu.
I click on the camera icon on the touch screen and it shows the image of the camera then goes back to default screen, not the camera menu.
I go to windows, scroll down to camera click it it shows the camera image then back to default screen, not the camera menu.
Basically I must reboot once maybe two times in order to actually use the camera, again waiting the 2-3 minutes each time I re-boot until the phone fully starts up.
Any suggestions?
x
same with me but with little luck, mine have pop up windows said 'there's an application runing, close before use camera'. ususally I close beejiveIM if I use it(still not close opera and resco explorer runing background) and the camera works.
my conclusion Beejive is crash with camera. so I use palringo, the camera doesnt show error message like that when I use palringo. but lately the camera shows error again with palringo, opera and resco explorer!
what an annoying and selfish camera!
any sugestion or cab-fix or some reg edit clue?
Its Media Player. exe not closing!
I was wondering when the first people come up with this problem! I found that this is (at least in my case!) the mediaPlayer.exe that is EATING UP all available (little that is!!!) RAM.
When I have a song play, perhaps a few minutes, nothing bad happens, after closing media player for good, still 80MB RAM left.
But, when I listen for a while to music (using media player NOT slide view!) then after half an hour or 1 hour, I have only 3-5MB left. Yes, 3 to 5 MB!!! In this case, even after closing for good media player, NO RAM is returned! I have only 3-5MB available RAM. And of course that is not enough to run the Camera!
Unless we find a program that can kill the mediaplayer.exe for good and that will indeed return that memory, we have no other option but a restart!
Camera Video Choppy too!
And now since I made a first video... or better tried to make it with this crappy phone/camera, I found that the recorded video is choppy, it seems to hang when the camera is moved or objects move.
Really bad. Anybody found a reg tweak to perhaps fix this or make it at least better? This is NO WAY 30fps, not even 20!

Have you tried e.g. MemMaid from DinarSoft?
I have had trial version installed once, looked fine. But there seems to be u lot of similar tools. I just never needed any as badly as you do.
Well, actuall I think this is caused by Slide|View. Because I was fed up with this crap, I did a hard reset and stoped the custom install. I installed all I wanted/needed Manually!
And of course I did NOT install TileWave, SlideView and any other crap panel, exept the Growing Panel (just to brag a little ;-)
Now, media player does not take even 10MB and all is well. While playing music I can make pictues even.
So far all is well. The only thing bothering me now is, every other day a message pops up either wanting to send a SMS to register my phone, or a customer survey from microsucks.
If anybody knows HOW to stop it without actually doing it, please let us know.

That's strange because I think it's actually Media Player itself.
Since latest FW I use TileWave and Slide View, uninstalled the rest of the flashy panels (City, Growing, SPB) and never had any problem with running camera.
I listen to alot of music but always from SlideView, no RAM problems here....
BTW if you want to kill any process, SKTools does it.

Just wanted to share my experience on this: I remember choosing cancel and it would stop. Did you press any hardware buttons instead or the X button on the window?
Camera did not start.... again!
Well, I found the registry setting for these crappy sms sending msgs. Now its gone!
BUT, today I still had 110MB left and the camera did the 'cannot start' crap. Just did not start, whatever I did.
Had to restart the entire phone in order to get it startup again. So I guess it is not the memory shrotage that seemed to have caused it before.
I'm creating this thread to have a central spot for my updates on the Skype Video mod I'm doing. My objective is making skype video to support all devices from FROYO to the latest android version and to support more devices as possible.
The latest build can be found HERE
Another XDA member theos0o also did a Skype video mod that works for more GB devices. If my files don't work, try his updated files in this thread HERE
For those who want to make their own icons, you can follow this instruction from angusc HERE
NOTE: VIDEO CALLING WORKS FOR NEON SUPPORTED DEVICES ONLY (mostly ARM Cortex A8). Lower end devices and Tegra 2 devices are not yet supported)
Tried both files and I still cannot send video. The oter person only sees my video as loading. I'll see if I can get a logcat.
Had to use alogcat (adb doesn't play nice with this tablet), let me know if it's enough information otherwise I'll try to get ADB to really work.

com.skype.raider-2-onecam.zip working ok on my HTC HD2 with TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.4.0 Android 2.3.4 GB ROM. Outgoing and incoming video working ok. My video (outgoing) is coming from the rear camera, no mirroring left-right, so all is perfect!
Thanks, droidrx!

Tried both files, and other files on XDA, but always get the same result like Parastie has above.
Can receive video, but cannot send. Picture stays black. My tablet only has a front cam, choosing between back or front cam has no use. When I choose front cam is just places my black picture to the front. When I choose back camera it just places my black picture to the back.
Hop someone can fix it
Sorry its not working with htc click. Both application not working.

Interesting observation; I've given the same froyo apk that works for me to my buddy with an almost identical SGS and it doesnt work for him (his video isn't shown, black screen).
I'll meet him in person later today to see what the differences between our devices are and will report after.
i9003 Froyo XXKB3
Almost works with i9003 2.2.1 XXKB3
dual cam version:
Rear Camera works perfect.
Front cam works perfect in preview mode before the other side picks up, after the other end picks up, it shows the front camera with interrupted by a green screen about once a second..
Attaching logs for both states
Just tried, works well with the front camera on a Sidekick 4G.
Got a couple of freezes, but it comes back after a few seconds.
Thanks !!!!!

Hrm, I'm completely lost. Two identical SGS, bought at the same seller within a short timeframe, same ROM, same kernel, same modem, same tweaks, same file systems. The only difference is the theme.
On one the froyo apk works (mine), on the other doesn't (black screen from both front and rear cams, my buddy's).
The only thing I could suspect is that he's using a Gingerbread-styled theme, which possibly could substitute some system files or something?
Samsung Galaxy Tab,
I can confirm it working, only problem is the video is on, the picture is shown on the side? like if i hold the tablet Vertically, the picture shows horizontally, weird?
Thanks
Hello. Chinese pad Cortex-A9 NEC Renesas EV2 Dual Core CPU Android 2.2.
I see the other person, I have a black square.
Sorry google translator.
Tried on a CM7 Moto Defy. Connected to desktop (without cam). Doesn't work. Logcat enclosed.
Thx!
Hi,
Couldnt get the other version posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 to work, so we tried this one.
The video is wierd though. Once the video call connected, it switched to horizontal mode. So in order to view the other person right side up, I turned my phone so that they are right side up, but then the other person sees me sideways. If I put myself right side up in the video, then I am viewing them sideways.
Guys, I added more APKs in the main post. I did a few changes that can affect the camera and added features for NO "autorun" and the "Exit" button.
For those with wrong camera rotation, please test the one I built that adds 90 degrees rotation and let me know if it actually changed the orientation. For those with blinking videos, try also the new APKs.
For those with blank screen, I still haven't found the problem. I got a hint that it could be the size of the screen vs the sizes supported by the camera but I can't pinpoint what to look at. I will post the smali codes tomorrow so other devs can help us fix it.

The 90 degrees build rotates the image that you see on your screen from your cam while initiating video call (or when the opponent's cam isn't active). The image is also distorted (like height and width changed places).
This applies ONLY to the image that you see on full screen when initiating video call. Actual video being sent to opponent doesnt change nor does what you see in your mini preview.
The build works nicely on Froyo, Exit button is very cool.
Thanks, hope this helps resolve the rotation issue.
EDIT: Thought I'd elaborate about the rotation behaviour in a more detailed fashion:
- video call is always in landscape mode, both image from opponent's cam and mini-image from own cam;
- when I hold the phone vertically, mini-image is correct;
- when I hold the phone horizontally, mini-image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise;
- at the same time, at the opponent's screen, my image is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise;
- as I said earlier, when opponent's cam is turned off, my image from own cam takes up the whole screen and in vertical orientation is correct, while in horizontal it's upside down (180 degrees rotated). Personally I don't care about this one though.
Hope this helps.
Someone told me it works fine with Huawei Ideos X5!
Good job droidrx. Thanks for the effort.
It seems to work ok for Ideos X5 with b136 Rom, thanks.
just so you know guys I have tested "com.skype.raider-froyo.zip " from the old thread and it works just perfect on HTC Desire unrooted, stock ROM
Hi, I have a rooted nexus 4, which I accepted the kitkat update for and as a regrettable result, my phone was stuck in a bootloop.
I eventually saw it as the only solution to wipe my phone, unroot, install the 4.4 from nexus root toolkit, and then re-root, and restore the data I managed to back up.
Everything seems fine, however, my camera won't save images at all. This is the same when it comes to camera applications.
With the nexus 4 camera application, the picture shows and takes, but it just saves as a blank square
With the same application; the video is ready to take, but when I press the record button, it says "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working"[Report] [OK]
With a custom application I downloaded called Camera 360, the picture takes and edits, but after saving it and going to view it, the thumbnail shows fine, but when you click the thumbnail it says the picture was not found and to delete.
I can take snapshots and send them fine, but can't save them.
On whatsapp, I can take a picture as an attachment and send it straight away before saving, and it sends fine to whoever.
It would seem the issue would lie with pictures saving to the local memory. I've tried rebooting, restarting camera application, clearing data/cache, none of which have made a slight difference.
Any solutions, prefferrably without having to go back and un-root and re-install and everything.
Thanks.

Hi
Excuse me if the argument was already treated, I really didn't find anything
I've got a problem that make me crazy.
After the upgrade from lollipop to marshmallow, I found the device quite more reactive and fluid, but an issue hide into the shadow.
That's my samsung gallery. It lag very much after a long unused time or if I do the optimization by the samsung smart manager. I made a video that's you can see on youtube by searching "galaxy s5 marshmallow lag gallery" , probably is the first video, my name is Mauro.
So, I've tried every kinda of solution, I completly remove any picture, of course removed the microSD card, clean cache and data, reset to the factory, so, every single option that I know, was tried.
The device is the G900F, was in spanish firmware (I'm italian) and finally I put the UK firmware 'cause it will upgrade more frequently.
I don't remember when I upgrade if it was immediately slow, but after some weeks of use it was.
Last week I reset all again, and the app was going good, but today again the lag.
When was resetted the gallery, after a long inactivity or after the clean by smart manager, takes 4 second and half to open the picture, starting by tap the app, then open the folder, tap the image and ready to work, instead, even closing the app, if it was recently opened, the gallery is really quick, just the time to tap and it open, around 2 second and half o little more.
Now, it make me mad, for the same process, so after a long inactivity , the same picture, positioned in the same place, it take over 6 seconds.
I've already removed the app under the safe battery by trying to exclude from the Doze, but nothing change.
Do you have some ideas? No one have the same problem?
Edit:
New more test. I've try to circumscribe who do what, and in the smart manager is the optimization of the ram that's makes lag the gallery.
Well, how can I solve this problem? I suppose, when the phone is unused for a long time, something inside decide to kill my gallery, though when I looking the multitasking, the gallery app seems already opened, infact when I click, if it was for example, in the camera gallery, it returns right there but with a long time of loading, I repeat, around 6/7 seconds
