[Q] CM10 hide navbar like CM7 - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I looked around for this but couldnt find it. I recently went to CM10 (12-26 nightly) from CM7 and noticed there isnt a navbar hide button like in CM7. Is there anyway to hide the navbar while in app? 90% of usage comes from my 3 year old daughter playing dr panda, cut the rope, where's my water, ect... and i know she will constantly hit the nav buttons if their not hidden like previously. I hate to go back to CM7 as this seems much smoother and prettier too.

Go to system-power menu-expanded desktop and select to enable it. When you want to hide Nav bar all you have to do is press power button for 4 seconds (just like rebooting). The menu pops up. Select expanded desktop to enable/disable Nav bar. When Nav bar is hidden long press n button to bring up recent apps.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!
Since you have 2 NC's do you have any tips for speeding up CM10? I set the CPU to performance and 1100 mhz on boot. Im really unfamiliar with kernels and such, I tried the V6 script before and didnt notice any difference.

The Nook Color has 512mb of ram, which 449mb is available for user programs. The optimal performance occurs when the CPU operates at 1100 MHz and free ram of at least 180mb. These are my settings for cm10: standard background apps running and kill app back button enabled in developer option-allows kill app by long press of back soft key in navigation bar, interactive governor, min CPU 300 MHz, max CPU 1100 MHz set on boot, I/o scheduler bfq set on boot, zram at 26%, purging of assets allowed and kernel same page merging enabled. I have never experienced sods with this setup-lucky for me. Over clocking to 1200mhz proved to be unstable most likely due to enabled hardware acceleration. CM7 does not have hardware acceleration, thus over clocking on that ROM went higher. I also turn off push notifications for email, games etc. These reduce battery runtime. I can't comment on v6 since I don't use it. Your mileage may vary. Hardware performance may vary on each device. That is why manufacturers underclock the processor even though the cpu is rated higher.

From my experiece and understanding, V6 does not really give a noticeable performance boost, it changes the OOM settings to help keep the device memory free so that you don't need to kill apps to free up memory. It can also change other settings to improve launcher stability, etc.

elelinux 7 menu lag?

I find on the rom that the menus seem to lag when scrolling they dont appear to be very smooth is there any fix for this or is it something that needs to be worked on.
I had a lag in the menu. It is now pretty much gone as I have disabled the window animations in spare parts. So no lag, but also no animation. My CPU settings are the performance governer and 176 / 691
lag
I get the lag to. It think it will get sorted.
I installed the rom and a few days later it started to lag on the menu. I tried optimizing to no aval.
I went back to 2.2 but 2.3 is so much better i re flashed the rom and it been so fast for a couple of days and now it's lagging again.
Launcher pro kept crashing to. Using go launcher which i think is better anyway and free.
Still is a great rom and sure it will be sorted soon.
Go dev's
I had this too. In CM settings / performance settings I ticked 'lock home in memory'. Definitely improves lag when resuming from screen off. Still a bit when navigating around but i'm running launcher pro with animations between 7 screens packed with live widgets, so the hero is forgiven!

looking for info on the stock N10 governors and system settings

Hello!
EDIT: I've done more tinkering and need to update this question/post.
A couple super noob-questions...
-Does anyone know the default governor settings for the Nexus 10? Using 3c System Tuner I see I can adjust the governor and screen-off governor. In these adjustments there is a 'no change' setting. If I just put it back to that and reboot am I back to the original governor settings, or does it remain changed to the last selection I had?
UPDATE: Looks like the default is 'interactive', could anyone confirm that?
-Again I'll be using 3c System Tuner. I have not adjusted any of the SysCtrl settings. Does anyone know the stock SysCtrl for the Nexus 10, or how I would 'reset to default'?
UPDATE: I worked on adjusting them which then reveals a functional 'Reset' which I assume is back to the devices defaults, could anyone confirm that?
Thanks XDA!!

Stock is Ondemand, and Sysctl.conf doesn't exist on the stock OTA so you can delete the file.

Thank you!
So actually it looks like the only choices shown are 'userspace' , 'interactive' , and 'performance'. Interactive seems to be the default.
I cranked it up to Performance and it does not seem to drain the battery much more at all. UI feels "zippy" now It did not feel slow at all before, but seems tubo now.

I wouldn't leave it on Performance that means it will be at 1700Mhz the whole time, it WILL eat your battery.
Check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
One very effective tweak for the Interactive governor is to lower the figure for "go_hispead_load", it will be set to 90 or 95 by default and lowering it to 85 or 80 will improve responsiveness.

You will need Trickster mod to do this, it's available at Play store.

Few questions / work-arounds for missing functionality cm10/matr1x+pie

Deets:
Nexus 4
cm10.1, matr1x
UV'd + modded brightness
ok, so ive been having a problem with cm10 & pie. i have expanded desktop always enabled, with status bar always showing.. but when i type, it shows a gray bar above the keyboard (size of navigation bar / spell suggest) before i type. its intrusive & takes up needed space..
the only way to get around this i found, was to disable the suggestion in keyboard settings.. is there any fix for this? i need the suggestion bar. im new to the whole touch screen era lol
2nd issue: not sure if caused by pie.. but when i go to type something, switch app via pie>task then back to typing, txt indicator shows, keys light up but txt doesnt come out.
also how r peoples battery??
ive been messing with my phone for a week straight now and managed to tweak everything to get 6-7 hrs screen time (screenshot will come soon. in the middle of a cycle now: 4hr48m screen time with 37% left)
my setup:
for when im outdoors i disable brightness mod & use 75% brightness. for indoors, i mod brightness below stock.
trickstermod:
modded low brightness [r100,g100,b100]
cpu freq min 19200
cpu freq max 102600
cpu uv around -250 completely stable. reboots @ -275
average bat/cpu temp is 30-36 no games, 34-42 with games / 35-43 no games 40-50 with games;
black wallpaper / darkest possible everything ui-based
email+apps set on manual refresh
data always on
no widgets on homescreen, just one page. apps in folders.
average day consists of 1-2hr total outdoor use with mix of: 40-1hr of gaming, the rest is fb, email, msging, web, music, bluetooth, phone. every other hour is inside use with mix of web, msging, fb, music, casual gaming

[Q] Reducing lag by increasing min CPU clock

Hi Everyone,
Just got my S4 a week ago and it's great, aside from the occasional lag when I turn the screen on or during the transition animations. Does anyone have experience with increasing the min CPU clock in order to decrease this kind of lag? The default is 384MHz -- any recommendations as to what this should be set to instead?
I understand that we can flash custom kernels in order to unlock further CPU clock steppings and CPU features -- but I'm more concerned about the stock ROM and stock kernel for now.
Thanks

The easiest way to get rid of the lag is by turning off the animations.
This can be done in the developer options in settings.
You reveal the developer options settings by going to "Settings" -> "About Device" and tapping "build number" until it says you are a developer.
No root or custom kernel required.
Is there a reason you couldn't have posted this response in your other thread about this exact same topic?
I just checked "force GPU rendering" under developer mode. That smoothed out everything. Battery life doesn't seem to be affected by it. I really love it.

kernel control apps (device control)

I have device control app installed and no matter what I set the processor speed (min/max) or gpu settings to it aways blue screens the phone after awhile. Anyone have a setting that won't do this? I'm not trying to overclock it or anything just run smooth/faster.
Try Kernel Adiutor.
Yea I've used before. Had it on my S4. I'm just trying to figure out which setting I'm using that is possibly causing the blue screen of death. The gpu setting is max/min 133mhz which is odd.

In Adiutor? That is odd.
Mine's running at 133-625.
