Full Wipe

Umm you have to do a full wipe when you install a rom and I have installed multiple. Happens very seldom with custom roms but would happen almost once a day new out of the box.

Before you flashed mint jelly. You must do a complete wipe, and that's a att release rom, try using the kernel it came with.
good luck

Paranoid android lag

I am running paranoid android 3.15 and I am having terrible lag issues. For example, sometimes when I press the power button the screen will not turn on, an the when it does the lock screen locks up and I can't do anything. I also have overall more lag than usual. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

You need to give a few more details... what kernel are you using and what settings?

I believe that I am using the lean kernel. I was originally using franco and the lag was much worse. What do you mean by my settings? Thanks

Did you dirty flash or clean flash? Give us some more insight as to what you've done to your device.
I rooted using the nexus 7 toolkit, and installed cwm using that as well. I flashed using romantic manager, but that just took me to cwm. I also used cwm to install the kernel.

Actually I got it figured out. I think it may have just been a bug in 3.15. I don't have the problem anymore with 3.16. Thanks anyhoo!

I actually had a similar problem last night and I'm using an older build of Xylon (March 11th), which I've been using for quite some time now. Any time I tried to open an app it forced closed. I had Pandora playing at the time this was going on (which isn't anything out of the ordinary). I rebooted and it solved my issues. This was the first time this had ever happened to me and I've been using this ROM for over a month now.

[Q] Glitching with PACman ROM?

I have had problems with the PACman ROM where there seems to be constant glitching when scrolling between home screens or scrolling up and down from menus etc.
Is there any way to fix this? Stock ROM does not do this so I know its not my phone.

Go into Developer Options and check the Disable HW Overlays box each time you do a restart.

Seems most 4.2.2 roms share this issue.

Yeah, I noticed it on Tiny's UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 ROM for the HTC DROID Incredible.
Your tip worked on both ROMs for two different devices.
Is there any way to come up with a permanent fix to this problem?

Thanks so much for this fix. The varying vsync issue was driving me nuts.

This is also a problem with 4.3 roms

Is it a nightly?
Did you do a fresh install with a full wipe?
Milestone. No wipe. And only started randomly a week ago

Hi Aron,
Backup your apps with Titanium backup and try to re-install the rom (Full wipe). What was your last rom?
Wiped and it was OK for a few hours then the same old story

Did you also reflash the rom?
I figured it out. It has something to do with the theme I'm using. When the dev updates it starts acting up. System theme reboot and the other theme. And it is fixed.

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

It may be time to Odin flash and start clean.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
