Hi Guys,
I'm using the original stock rom but rooted it and now I have installed xposed, gravity etc. I also have approx 100+ apps ( including games ) in my phone installed at the moment. 3 Google accounts for Clash of Clans. I also have layers installed and using blue theme. I've also got games like Asphalt 8, deer hunter, dead trigger 2 like some big games maybe and it works flawlessly.
I've been using the same ROM from approx 1-2 months now and didn't change anything. It works fine but from few days, it started lagging, slow. I dnt know the issue and i seriously need a little help.
In my previous thread, i did not get any response so i am giving some more details.
Any suggestions please?
For some reason people just don't want to talk on this topic..
Well not 100% lag free but the best for me has been resurrection remix rom with squid kernel
Do remember u will be trading a lot of battery life for that performance boost
your requirements scream high end specs which the x play doesn't offer. ironically, the x 'play' is not really a phone for playing heavy games. 2gb ram and sd615 is mid-range at its best.

Well there's an app in the market called SD Maid its just like Tune Up Utilities but for a phone. Try that app it will clean the phone. I normally use it when I feel my phone laggin and so far it has worked for me. It is a paid app though.
Hope this helps.

There's nothing like LOL in that. If you knew what you are doing with your phone you wouldn't have to make a thread for making you device lag free.
Since the time moto has updated the OS to latest, there have been just battery life problems not a single lag problem as I keep a close eye on the forum sharing whatever I know.
You have installed 100+ apps, sync 3 Google accounts for a game and have such large amount of games. Your internal memory has most probably filled up by now and showing signs of lags and that's normal. I am sure you won't have cleared the cache also. Although layers are not responsible for lag until it's a heavy layer theme having custom background.
Reading about android and other problems can tell you these basic things for which a separate wouldn't be needed.
You need more performance, then move to a custom rom at the sake of battery life.
You need balance, then use stock rom.
You need more battery life but want to remain on stock, use custom kernel

Make sure you clean flashed and don't reboot in between flashing rom and Gapps.

Have you also tried a startup manager to disable unwanted apps to load in memory at startup. This can really make a difference between smooth and laggy experience with 65 apps installed and pre-loaded in your memory.

@K.khiladi has given you some good advice!
I don't use RR myself (I have in the past but currently on Marshmallux) so this might not be applicable but if you have "Running Services" option in "Developer Tools" you should check in there and see if there's things running that you wouldn't expect. I've found some games to continue running in the background weeks after last playing them because they set themselves up to run on startup (where @Sickaxis79 's advice will now help you).
Anyways, just a thought. Also, I've found that I can't rely on too much shortly after a flash, I feel like it takes a few days/reboots before things seem to settle down.
Related
Check my Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fds9eccI9OA
I did a FR before flashing with Kies, and after flashing. Also did a clean install of all apps and settings and a cache wipe.
maybe 50 pics, 50 mp3s and 100 apps and 4 widgets running.
This video was taken just 15 minutes after a reboot.
Do people consider this whining?
EDIT: Spend 6 minutes looking through the video. The lags gets worse and worse.
That is the worst lag I have ever seen, I understand if you are upset, for me the lag is 1-2 second pauses now and then.
Was it as bad on 2.1?
Looks bad. Anyways try getting rid of the batt app that lets you know of the batt percentage on the notifications tray. I got rid of mine and the phone is much quicker.
Good luck i feel for you buddy.

Something is hogging the cpu.. Or a process is creating a problem. What happens after you clean the memory in the taskmanager? This isn't normal.

The icon is just the alarm clock.
Ending all apps does not solve much. The lag returns almost immediately.
Was this lag meant to be so, i mean is it intended to blame the phone? I'm sure this is not normal, and have never seen lag like this. Mostly its 1sec (i know many complain about this) but blink twice and it will load

Not many apps running simultaneously, so I don't see the problem...
Not to disparage what you're experiencing there mate but I flashed JP6 yesterday and I can honestly say so far it's been smooth sailing even without any lag-fixes, as opposed to when I was on 2.1 just prior and things were about the same as what you've got here. Did you do a TitaniumBackup restore or anything?

Hmmmm, the only thing I can think of (and this'll probably sound silly) but you might want to try without a SIM in it. I remember people with Milestones having damaged/faulty SIMs which would cause their phones to slow right down.
Also, sorry but I have to admit I got a good giggle from the fingers tapping at ~4:30 :3

It depends WHAT you are running. In your movie you say stuff like "wow, 5 apps running", but widgetlocker for instance I know slows the phone down a bit.
The number of apps means very little (I can make a computer lag by encoding a video and messing around in photoshop too). It's what you are running that matters. Maybe you should try to work out which applications are causing issues (there is a good reason why I got rid of widgetlocker though).
Anyway, this thread should be closed as a dupe. It doesn't warrant it's own thread, as you aren't a celebrity, and other people have already posted video's onto the existing threads.Your case is no more important than the others.

Wasn't running anything after fresh boot. The video is from first screen taps on this freshly booted phone.
EDIT: Removing Widget Locker does not help... Tried that.
here it's unbelievable stable(jpk+oclf+4wks+120apps), guess it was a wise choice not going jp6/m.
But why are there 5 apps active? I have several active widgets but they don't show up as a regular process(es) here.. I'm sure that my phone would lagg too while running 2 games, 2 web browsers and navigational software on the background. =/
I doubt it was acting like this from flash off right?
Do you consider that the hardware may have been damaged!? You have your warranty, get another one .

Well.. That's my point.. Your apps must be doing something that is sucking up your CPU... because I'm running Messaging, Launcherpro, Jabberoid (not listed in active apps), sipdroid (not listed in active apps), and a live wallpaper. I suspect that your apps are possibly running a few things not listed in task manager.. Also, are you running custom widgets (I'm not using any, which might be adding to the jumpiness). I also only have 50 apps.
I have noticed your app list contains MANY custom widgets..
So, I suggest working out what specifically is causing your issues. But I can honestly say I don't get lag like that on my phone..

Well, the apps "running" in task manager are only the six most recent apps. I am only using 4-5 widgets on this video. I have also tried without any widgets. Same problem.
Will get a new replacement phone (have made a deal with Samsung, just waiting for a new one).
well i bought plants vs zombies from the amazon app store just now. I downloaded and installed it via wifi and when ever I open it, it takes me to an hour glass loading then exits out and brings me back to my phones homepage! =(
That's no good!
I have it installed and working great on CM7. Do you have flash installed? Not sure if that's a requirement, but might try to download 10.3 and see if that helps.
Oh man. I'm about to cry for you! Such an awesome game.
I just checked - I don't have flash. So that's not the problem. Are you stock or are you running another rom? I'm on Deck's which AOSP, and its working there. See if other people are having trouble on your rom - if they aren't i would redownload and reinstall.
Sense Rom?
Are you using a sense rom, like the one that came stock? If so, you may be running out of room on your phone to install apps. Happened to me. I had to remove tons of apps to make room so others would work properly. And since Plants vs. Zombies is a VERY large app (like 75MB), that may be your problem. Check your storage in the system settings.
That's why I switched to CM 7, Sense alone takes over 100 MB and was taking up room I could use for apps.
hit menu, settings, applications or manage applications, find plants vs zombies, and hit clear data. worked like a charm for me.
Also if space is an issue 4 you judt hit move to sd in the app
I'm on Fresh 3.5, works fine for me. It did use up the last of my space though, before I moved it to SD. WTH is it 75MB, game isn't that complicated so far

Same thing happened to me. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling from the Amazon app store to correct it. Seemed to be a bad download or something.

Hi all ,
Bought my Arc two months ago and loving it , however I’m little bit annoyed with its sluggishness. Whenever I exit any APP like email, games etc. APPs in desktop isn’t not appearing promptly and scrolling to other pages becomes literally very slow and sometimes freeze for a while! I occasionally can’t answer incoming calls, I keep sliding to answer but no response . I’m not quite sure what could be the reason.. although I’m not using any task killers apps, and my Arc is NOT rooted. And I always make sure that before installing any APP it is compatible with SE Xperia Arc and from Android Market!
I’d appreciate any help guys, is there anybody facing the same ? is it a manufacturer flaw ? is there a fix for my problem ?
I’m using Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Thanks in advance
No idea, mine flies...
How much free memory?
I have the neo which is pretty similar phone, I had a issue mush like yours 2 days ago, so i checked to see what running in the services there was an app using 80 meg of memory which seemed alot so i removed the app and now its fine, it was this app https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&feature=search_result you may have this app or a different app thats doing something similar
Also suffering with this. Sometimes my phone will freeze going into dialler even when I have an app killer in the background.

You have to have good amount of RAM left. It's in the system, you can easy check this out.

There are many stuff u can do when u get ur fone rooted:
+ Remove the bloatware that I'm pretty sure consuming a lot of both memory and battery
+ ur able to use tweaked kernel (made by DoomLord & if2 atm) or software like Autokiller Memory Optimizations which can optimized ur phone running smoother & faster. Besides, there is kind of handy script for arc called v6 supercharger. it is reportedly working on arc so well (no sluggishness, no lag)
+ and so many more u can find out of ur own accord
By the way, my arc is running perfectly with normal use. it can easily run for at least 2 days without recharging battery and smoothy as well.

You require an unlocked bootloader for that.

This is the problem here, your phone does not like iOS users.
Just kidding, any of the solutions above (rooting and removing unnecessary stuff or reflashing ) should solve your issues.

I used to have the same problem. Facebook Integration was the problem... I disabled the sync and removed the photos being synced with it. Also removed most of the widgets and the phone wasn't lagging as much as before. I ended up rooting...

I recommend renovate ice with the notorious kernel, it has always been smooth and battery life is great.
I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try, just downloaded.
I'm coming from Oreo beta - I don't recommend it. Magisk doesn't work, kernel is not battery friendly, % is dropping from 100 to 80 in no time..... also lags here and there, not everything is working as it should. Yeah beta definitely, there's room for improvement.

Nice - thanks for the heads-up!
I was tempted by the Beta, but then I knew I'd miss the little features that I'm used to (like long press back button to kill etc.0) not to mention the stability factor. But I was itching for a change in rom. I was on Batman rom for a while and then I saw the Ironman rom Note 8 port and I haven't looked back! Everything, for me, works flawlessly - got Substratum theme, using the kernel that is provided and honestly I would say this is the best possible rom available for the S8 (I was even getting tempted to jump ship to the Pixel 2 XL...) but I feel very settled once again
Let me know how you find it!

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

Haha yeah I remember those days!
I also had an issue with substratum but since resolved it...
When you open substratum and then it's settings, do you see sungstratum listed there (like in my attached picture)?
My issue was I was using Titanium backup to restore it and substratum, but fully uninstalling them both (and the Swift Black theme) and clean installing them from the play store again, and rebooting, made it all work
Stock and stock

I just bought Swift Black theme from play store. Uninstalled everything: substratum, add-on and themes. Rebooted. Installed everything again: substratum, add-on and black theme. Granted all permissions for substratum (I'm using Magisk). Applied theme. Restarted UI only and voila it worked for every app including dialer, contacts and gmail. Then rebooted. And dialer, contacts and gmail is all white again...
Ugh. I think I'm gonna liaise with substratum support but I don't think they would help as they already mentioned that on Samsung it CAN work (but that not mean it would).

Ahh mate that's annoying... Not sure what else to suggest
Perhaps yeah post on the substratum thread regarding the layers not sticking. I do remember having that issue but doing those steps resolved it.
I feel your pain though!

I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

Hi mate,
I have S8 950F I believe it's snapdragon so how can I install above ironman rom on my device?
Any advice appreciated

Hey, I'm not too sure if that's possible given you've got a snapdragon, but I'd certainly ask to find out for sure in their thread here:
https://download.grifodev.ch/file/19-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
Good luck!

I use the Soldier ROM with NOX kernel. I don't know if is the best, but is better than the stock ROM.
Old thread but I am finally looking to root my S8 as it's getting really slow and battery is pretty ****ty. Thinking a lite rom combined with an optimised kernal is the way to go, problem is there is so many and I couldn't find this covered anywhere.
The phone is fine with Stock Pie and NX 29 kernel.
I won't back to custom roms. I used renovate ice, hades and Alexis roms, but all these 3 have awful photo quality.
Photos mean to be viewed even after 50 years, so they must be good.
That's why I prefer stock rom. Camera is such a great piece o hardware. Cheers
Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.
So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that
Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?
It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

The name is "Smart Cleaning" app. No disable/uninstall, I'm just not using it that's it. You can disable/uninstall it if you want.

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

Yeah, that's right. Thanks for pointing that out!
This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0
I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.
Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?
I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...
does this stil work as of now?
This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
