Want A more Zippy Xperia Z?

This improved my phone ALOT, im new here and have been a longtime user of peoples roms so i thought i'd share this little tip for you!
Theres a simple fix to some slowdowns which lies in the animations and frangmentation of the internal SD card.
> Go to developer options
> Set window animation scale to - OFF
> Set transition amination scale to - OFF
> Set animator duration scale to - OFF
Download LagFix (fstrim) Free (from Play Store)
>Tick system/ data/ cache
> Run
Reboot, not really neede dbut you can if you want.
ZIPPY !!! :good:

I'll give it a try now. Thanks in advance!

just a heads up, lagfix app only works on rooted devices so I can't use it.

I dont see\feel any difference.
Thnx for sharing dough

will try thanks

A good advise, will tell my brother try.

Turning animations off doesn't make your phone faster. Maybe it feels faster for you, but in fact it isn't.
Also lagfix only does TRIM on your internal memory, which is most of the time a bad idea and can cause more wear on the memory cells.

see how much RAM left [photo]

i saw this post from a blogger [XQ55] on Google+ who manage to get galaxy note 4 and he show us how much Ram remain ! i think this will be an issue, what do you think ?

The only reason I can tell is stock and system apps took out lot of ram and that's it...

My note 4 has little ram left. About 300mb.

Mine always over 500mb, only sometimes got 400mb left, but then back to 800mb-1000mb+ after cleaned

I wish they just made the ram 4gb but performance wise it flies

Nah, 3gb is more than enough at this stage..... Maintenance is an issue. E.g. Have u close some of the "extra" functions and freeze those useless stock apps? Have u controlling your start up apps properly? How often u clean up your ram?
These are all the issues u needa take care of And the major problem is screen brightness. It eat a lot of your battery.....

I noticed to on this note 4 battery drains really fast when i crank up the brightness. But screen i very clear and readable without straining my eyes even on low brightness not like my note 2.

I dont usually clear the ram. I just let android manage ram usage. Cannot feel performance difference after clearing the ram in fact apps startup is not instant and it takes a second or two because it loads it again in the ram.

[update]
the same guy post a screen shot of his Ram [see attached photo] status after deleting & disable some preloaded apps and disable some gestures & animations and finally closing background running apps.
but he mention that he is really enjoing using the phone and he didn't facing any lag even with poor Ram.

if you know about android and how ram is handled, you would know that ANY unused ram is wasted ram..
there is nothing wrong with only small amounts of ram available; that is how the phone is SUPPOSED to work, useing as much available ram as possible

This. I'm on Moto G for now and I have never even tried to clean ram/close apps manually.

True , the whole RAM scare is incorrect, and is about the same as the task-manager myth that surrounds Android from its beginning.

Normally screen is the major problem about draining battery, so better not to set it too bright.
If u shut down most of the stock apps, u can tell the different I don't have to clear the ram quite often in my case, but i shutted down most of the samsung's bloat apps. I also managed the apps in start up, so now my Note 4 can always have about 400mb-700mb ram without clearing it. And u can use Seeder to give u a boost as well.

Actually it is true. Those used ram are standing by for the apps in the background. If we use ram manager to check, we can see heaps of the apps that we are not even using them, but they are there and they took bit of ram as well. This is juz my non theorizing understanding.....

Also true. You can disable them if you wish the OS won't even think of loading them into RAM, but then you will get other things filling the RAM.

planing to buy moto x play before that help me to solve few doubts

I'm planning to buy moto x play 32gb indian version from flipkart. Currently I'm using Samsung galaxy s4. I read so my reviews on net some users says x play is superb device and some other reviews says don't buy x play. I found some user reviews in gsmarena saying that the phone has so many problems and when they took there phone to service center they told that the phone has motherboard prblm and needs to be replaced and the service center people took there phone for mother board replacement but months gone they didn't replaced the mother board and they are saying that they didnt received motherboard from Motorola .
So my qstn is there any motherboard prblm for this phn ?
Some people saying that this phn has restarting prblm and low ram after updating to marshmallow and its affecting playing games like mini militia . Is it true ?
And what about the Memory card not detecting problem ?
Is there any prblm like this on this phone ?
And is there any other prblms on this phone ?
What about there service center ?
If u have time plz share your review about this phone
Your replay is the only trusted source for me to know about this phone so kindly replay

First of all dont update it to marshmallow. It simple decrease your battery life and performance. Relly i've noticed so many changes after this upgrade. Before this my score in antutu benchmark score was 37809 but after upgrade it was around 29000.
As long as i noticed there is no lag in performance and no heating issues till now. And about mini minitia i've been playing about from two weeks it works fine for me no issues.
Jst a small issue is the upgrade. Otherwise my phone is working perfectly..

How ? We need ram for multitasking and playing games etc.
If we don't have enough ram space multitasking cant be done smoothly and games can't be played well

71% ram is wasted

On *nix based systems like Android the ram is managed to be filled with frequently used libraries and files that will help your apps to start faster. If the system needs more memory it will release the space corresponding to things that are not in use.

I would disagree with the 2nd post, for me there has been no major issues regarding battery on MM. Did a reset and after that battery was like LP ...just that one issue is there as it was in LP.. battery drains in idle mode.

You are just saying it on the basis of decrease in benchmark scores. Please don't.
There are no problems after updating to MM.

Maybe because most of the sound libs are designed for armv7 and v8 only.

Will flash now and give feedback in LG P760 (LG Optimus L9 - armv7 neon).

Hey due to the preset file being incomplete it defaults every time think you could do a full arkamys port with working presets with all the tuning and bypass files to go with because optimspeaker doesn't want to work unless I flash arkaddon but yeah take a log when you switch a preset it goes back to default preset 1 shed light please

Thanks for informing. I had missed adding the tuning files. Hope to get that fixed in the next release.

What is the purpose of drc files? I've been playing a lot with 5.1 drc setups including those for mic capturing - but no audible changes at all)

drc has been removed from the latest release, since i found range compression and expansion doesn't seems to be much good for sound overall.

This mod is so underrated, the sound on my my phone is amazing, crisp, clear and just enough bass,
Loving it too much,only running this mod without any other.

How do i change the preset if there is nothing in my 'shared_prefs' file?

ArkamysAudioService.xml should be present at /data/. . . / .
ArkamysAudio take time to load the xml file to /data. If it's not there even after some time, check apk is installed successfully. Please check this and report back.

General lag

My min CPU frequency keeps changing to the max frequency possible and for some reason it dramatically reduces my device's performance. Causes visible lag in general browsing. This used to happen on my OnePlus 3T aswell. What could be the culprit?

Min frequency to the lowest one possible (for all clusters).

What firmware , model are you using? Do you a custom ROM installed?
I've never had a single touch of lag in any app or the OS.
I'm on pure stock 23BA 11

My lag occurs whenever I press the home button from either an app or internet. I have about at least a one second lag. Pure stock phone with latest software update.
Anyone else have this problem?

I only notice lag in Chrome browser on a lot of websites....

YES! So I got a IN2025 in, let is restore all my stuff but didn't switch to it because dual-sim isn't working yet. Had it a week and a half using it while on Wifi at home. I wiped it and sent it back for a refund today. Felt no faster than my OP7P, and if anything felt slower at times. Not worth the 1K price premium at all. And this is coming from a guy who can't stand to keep a phone longer than a year!! . Now what to do with the cases and screen protectors I already bought

Lol what do you mean it felt no faster?
It's a more powerful CPU / GPU by some way.
But in regards to general navigation round the OS? No it's not any faster as the OnePlus 7 is as fast as if can be, there is no more speed to be had?
If that's your attitude to the best phone you can buy now I'm kind of glad you have returned it.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say? I have a OP7P as my DD,and I had a OP8P on hand as well. Both running on Wifi. Was it faster than my OP7P at most things, yes but barely. Not $999 worth of extra speed IMO. Launching the games I play and the apps I use, if I hit the icon at the same time....they both opened almost identically at the same time. Plus the 8P had more "stuttering" and random lag......maybe it was a bad one, not sure, but it seemed to just have lag issues, like the originator of this post stays......
