Hi all!
I currently have elelinux 2.1 ROM, but I think that's not the problem, because with others rom is very slow too.
For example, when I'm writing a text message, on twitter or whatever, sometimes it has a delay of 1 second more or less, activating 3G/wifi is slow as **** too. Even turning screen on and navigating through desktops or apps is slow. When I call, it has a delay of 3 seconds before it appears on the screen. I can't even listen to music because the phone get stucks... I could give you more examples, but I think is enough to know that my hero works to slow.
But I don't know if this is normal or not, I don't know other people who own a Hero.
Thanks in advance
Yeah it's an outdated slow phone really. I would consider it normal.
Maybe you have some apps installed and running in background? Try to install fresh ROM or uninstall all applications and try then.
are you using an thirth party keyboard like better keyboard?
those are a bit laggy somethimes and that can cause your 1 or 2 seconds lag
and maybe try to flash a new kernel (like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730471) or start again from scratch

Hi!
Recently I've installed Thumb Keyboard, but the keyboard was laggy before that, so that's not the main problem I think...
I know it's an old phone, but this slowness, it's unbearable... and my contract doesn't end until october >_<
instal a task manager maybe?
or delete your phones cache (can be done by apps in the market)
otherwise.. i dont know whats the problem
i recomend a radio and kernel update (can be found here on the forums)
Yes, try a task killer to find out what processes use phone memory the most.
Kill them periodically, or just uninstall them if it's not necessary.
hi everyone
i think that's the steps of solving the problem try it
1- if your memory card is full try to delete anything you not use in it.
2- make a Swap partition and that's the link > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6907762&postcount=47
3- install fresh rom for my advise (VillainROM-v13)
4- install task killer that's help phone to be faster
now your phone is fast!! enjoy
You may wanna consider overclocking a bit. That's helps my phone quite a bit.
may be you've to reflash ROM
i usually flash ROM every 3 months
Solution without Sense:
go and get elelinux 2.8 ROM
OC your cpu (needs root and care not every phone can handle the highest values, ele has included oc app in his rom)
find the lowest working freq without the phone always restarting itself
find the highest freq without stability issues or overheat
after done this, check "set on boot"
switch all animations off
install just the apps you really need
remove all that unnessecary junk from your homescreen, a clock widget (example beautiful widgets lite, weather animations off, free from market) and some shortcuts are enough, if u want u can keep search widget
play around with cyano settings so you get optimum results
then your phone should not show too many lags, at least mine does not.
Solution with Sense:
Go and get a fresh rom,
example
elelinux repacked 2.1 rom,
VR 13 (also 2.1),
SalsaSense (2.3.3, not as fast as RUU 2.1 though, and use Las Venturas 0.4.7 kernel)
Same procedure as above: OC, for me i use 264-768.8MHz and ondemand gov
Remove all that unnessecary htc homescreen junk like music widget , peoples widget, weather.....
if u want you can keep htc clock widget, but do animations off
Phone should be FAST!
greets, S.O.D.
id recommend updating from 2.1 to the 2.8 version. the set the cpu to 176/652.
then install task manager. this should sort all your problems out
try overclocking the phone, i use floyo rom and it run so fast for me
was using villainrom 12 and recently shifted to villainrom 13. trust me it is the best rom i have ever had. i use taskiller with it and my phone simply flies. though battery remains an issue. i am using the stock keyboard and also the stock sms app. would suggest all to give it a try (those who haven't)
I too have had a slow hero and it is definately not rom.
I actually had 2 heroes , One got rooted on day and has been ok .
The other ( nephew was using it) was slow and I always assumed it was his stock system, unrooted setup.
When I got the phone back last week, I rooted it , put a few roms on , wiped everything that looked wipable in recovery , put in a new sd card , setup a app2sd partition ( using rom manager ) .
and still its deadly slow.
If it was a PC I would think its faulty memory so only the good portion is working but I have no way of checking. ( unless you tell me)
also the apps2sd might not have taken as i tried to format the partition after creating it and it couldn't find it.
any ideas?

Hello,
I'm using JB rom. I love ICS but there is one problem : scrolling screens aren't smooth. I mean everything is (settings, options, etc ...) except the screens that scroll.
I hate that because I've the impression my phone is lagging
What can I do to correct that ?
Thanks.
Try enable 16bit transparency, disable surface dithering and enable purging of assets in performance settings, I get the best performance with this setup. Also make sure its a clean install of the rom and you haven't undervolt too much as this can cause lag and reboot, hope I helped
Sent from the real world by hacking into the matrix
One more thing, I use ram manager pro on "hard gaming (less aggressive)" setting and it smooths performance, however apps will close more often in background, you can also try "v6 supercharger" if you know what you're doing to achieve the same
Sent from the real world by hacking into the matrix
Do these settings will not consume my battery too much ?
Also I flashed a 2.2 CEE Froyo Rom, installed a kernell but it said that it failed (dunno why), and then installed the rom et the apps. Of course I did wipes.
Also, I found an app called Jelly Bean Launcher. It's really really smooth. But I know it's a fake and if it is possible I prefer running the true one.
Edit : Your settings didn't change anything. Scrollings screens aren't smooth. I'm sad because everything is perfect except that :'(

Maybe its just the build, I've never tried cm10 but people say its smoother than cm9 so maybe try a different build, my suggestions are based on what I find in cm9, default settings has choppy scrolling for me, only other cause I can think of is too many apps installed running in background or low CPU speed, try overclocking if you haven't, I run at 1.1ghz
Sent from the real world by hacking into the matrix
I use apex launcher and its very smooth on CM10!
Ahh yes maybe its as simple as a launcher change, I use go launcher but apex looks more authentic as its based on stock

Hey!
First of all make a backup (at least from /system).
It happened the same to me: it was too slow! No matter what, CPU settings, RAM MAnager profile, task killer, etc until I changed my dalvik vm settings. Now my Defy is amazing!
I read this article https://ryanolson.wordpress.com/2010/07/13/test-how-changing-the-max-amount-of-memory-per-vm-heap-can-effect-your-rom-cyanogen/ and found that my dalvik vm heap was wrong.
First I tried 16m with "RAM manager free" and had a bootloop, I had to restore a backup for that
Then I tried 32mb and I still had a bootloop.
Finally I tested again 32mb and forced in the build.prop the same 32mb and it finally booted. (I used this app to edit it)
Resuming:
1) Set 32m in RAM Manager Free
2) Set dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=32m & dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m
3) Be aware with the Settings menu, it's a memory killer app (try to kill it whenever you can)
If you have any problem you can always restore the system backup.
Greetings!

Whats up guys.This is Nikhil Singh from xda developers and today I am going to guide you on how to increase performance of grand after 4.2.2 jelly bean update. I have noted that after 4.2 update my grand hangs regulalry on opening gallery or doing other stuff for sometime.(The performance from device is terrible)
So here you go
1.Switch off your device
2.Boot into recovery by pressing Power button+Home button+Volume up button
3.Navigate to wipe cache partition and press power button(on some devices it will show Error but dont worry)
4.Device will reboot automatically
Thats it now your galaxy grand is smooth and lag free test it by opening the gallery app
Some more tips are to turn off power saving mode

Wiping cache doesn't erase your data!
Hey, i'm new to this community. However i've followed your guide to perform wipe cache but issue still occur, really frustrated using this as spare phone.

Be patient. I own 4 Galaxy devices, and the Grand is not as powerful as my S4, but its easily my prefered device. It takes time to "mod" or customize your phone to you likings, but I promise it's a great device.
Here are some of my personal pointers:
- Factory ROMS are heavy, boated and somewhat slow. You can tweak it so it can be smoother, but a CM-based custom ROM is the way to go. If you like Touchwiz, here are some tips: - Root, use Titanium Backup to 'freeze' apps and widgets you wont use. Don't want to root, then in Applications Manager, Stop the apps.
- CyanogenMod ROMS: Because I use Dual Sim, I prefer CosmicCM, but the CM11 Unofficial is a great ROM too. These ROM are the pure android experience and are high tweakable. Also since this is 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), it uses much less resources than Jelly Bean (4.2.2).
A Must for any ROM:
Use Android Tweaker 2 and switch on all "Performance" settings except Hardware Acceleration, slide all sliders to Right. The other tweaks in this app, are up to your needs, Image tweaks are also important if you need it.
Greenify, hibernate all apps that will stay running in the background, you choose when to have them up and running.
SetCPU: I create a Profile, When my screen is OFF, I have my CPU at minimum (312mhz) in order to save battery.
-
I promise with these three apps and tweaks you will be on your way to a greater device. Oh, also, look into replacing your Launcher, want to keep a TouchWiz feel, look into S Launcher (S5), or Google Launcher.
Regards,
Paul

Thanks paul for you response with advice, i'll try to use custom rom to get better performance. :good:
Thank you, indeed increased performance after I wiped cache
Belos tutoriais
Just to know if you guys want something for my rom
Battery Life. Even Underclocking isn't increasing battery life with BORETS24's kernel, do something that'll increase the SOT ! I don't get more than 3 hours of SOT with any ROM, Kernel.
Stable gps during using waze or other gps app....no more gps lost connection plz
i would expect a simple build, with no bloadware and of course stable even with a a501cg. iirc most problem are with that device.
list of expectations(mine and the others)
- stable
- no bloadware
- simple installing/autoinstaller (there is a simple-to-customize autoinstaller mentioned in this forum)
- possible to choose gapps installing by choice in one install process.
- gps
- led functional
- battery life
Simple Rom (like a pizza without any topping. User can select toppings )
Stability (GPS, wifi, data connection, bluetooth, and of course the device itself. Sudden restart is really terrible.)
DT2W/S
Battery life
LED with color (if possible)
I'd love to have another UI. To get the CM12.1 drop-down menu instead of Asus one.
Provide and alternative to borets' kernel: it has great features, but for me was and keeps to be more battery eating (I think due to the dt2w and overclock integration) than even a stock one.

Hello folks.
I will soon have an S5 in my possession. I've never owned a Samsung phone before, so my first question is - should I stick w/ the stock ROM (I understand the most recent version for this phone is 6.0.1), or should I install a custom? Are there any serious drawbacks with the stock ROM (bloatware, etc)? What improvements would I see with a custom ROM?
Thanks.

Hi,
it really depends of what are you looking for. If you want to get the latest features and updates, go Custom.
if you only use your phone to make calls, take nice photos, Games, etc. Stay in Original, although, you have some Debloated 6.0.1 ROMs that do the work just fine.
Cheers,
My S5 is the Sprint (G900P, Snapdragon) variety. Is there a default/easiest root method? Is there a preferred recovery to use?
Thanks.
Way to go is custom ROM, and that mostly due to bloatware.
ROM, root, recovery are personal choices dependent of your wishes/needs.
And S5 is rich with choices. For some reason, I was/am happy with stock ROM.
So I see a lot of reading in your future...
I am owning the GS5 for 1.5 year or so, and I can't remember how many times I have returned back to stock after 2-3 days of custom. I don't know why, I am just a random user who is using phone for social media and calls. Rarely playing any games but any ROM I tried it had some problems which I couldn't keep.
Performance and feature --> go with custom ROM. Have a good adventure..!
Stability and battery life --> always.. stock ROM

what is the best stock rom for battery life and performance?
lollazzo said:

Best stock..? Stock is stock lol. Anyway, I'm using Boeffla Kernel on stock ROM and did the following things to get better battery life without actually compromising my phone:
1. In Boeffla Config under CPU I set the maximum clock speed to 1728 MHz, selected "Optimized" as Hotplug profile, selected "Aggressive" as Multicore powersave and selected "undervolt -75mV" as UV Profile.
2. In Boeffla Config under GPU I set the minimum clock speed to 27 MHz.
3. I've bought and installed Amplify (needs Xposed to work) and have limited the following wakelocks all to 600 seconds:
- GCoreFlp
- *net_scheduker*
- Wakeful StateMachine: GeofencerStateMachine
- LocationManagerService
- SyncLoopWakeLock
- Icing
- NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock
- NlpWakeLock
- NetworkStats
- StartingAlertService
- GpsLocationProvider
- AudioIn
- NlpCollectorWakeLock
**Under 'Alarms' I've limited the following alarm: com.android.internal.telephony.data-stall again to 600 seconds.
4. I've bought and installed Greenify and have the following apps set to automatically hibernate on screen-off:
- Blackmart
- Instagram
- Facebook Lite
- Peel Remote
- Spotify
- Video Player (stock one)
- Notes (stock one)
**The selected mode is 'Root + Boost (Xposed)', 'Automatic hibernation' is ticked, 'Extras for Geek' is also ticked, everything under 'Xposed based options' is also ticked and 'Wake-up Tracking and Cut-off' is also allowed.
5. Other than that I have Auto-Sync off unless phone is charging (using Tasker for this), WiFi at home, Bluetooth on only when I need it, GPS on power saving unless I need it on high accuracy (again, Tasker), no power saving mode activated, mobile data is set to 2G/3G mode (no 4G as I don't need it anyway, YouTube is fine on 3G so it's enough for me), Screen Rotation is on, Smart Stay is on, Multi Window is on, Increased sensitivity is on. I also have my 5 most used apps always open in RAM (Telegram, Whatsapp, Poweramp, Gallery-not stock one, Facebook Messenger Lite).
I'm still testing but the phone feels significantly cooler than before and I think battery life is actually noticably better than before, yet the phone works as it should (I don't play games or run super heavy apps).
