i finally got it installed properly in my phone, the speed is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
it puts any computer to shame
1.It works a tad better on eclair than froyo.
2.When running kwaak close other apps for best performance.
3.Best setting - wide screen res, 16bit depth, everything else to max.
~60 fps.
It doesn't put any computer to shame
from present time that is
still..
i was comparing it to the CPU of the time when the game was released
Ahh... sorr to bump an old thread guys.. figure its better then starting a new one.
Ive been running kwaak3arena 0.2 for several weeks now without issue, but the other day it seemed to stop working properly. main issues are that the brightness of the textures seems to have increased, the controlls have been muddled up, and the application crashes sometimes in some levels. This all came on unexpectedly after running flawlessly for ~2 months!. The only thing i can think of is that after i used the application with it working perfectly, i had downloaded the XE.com app, and after that it starts screwing up. Im also noticing, though not sure if its just me, that other areas of the phone are running very slightly more laggier / choppier then they were before.. i think.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling kwaak3arena, as well as getting rid of the xe.com application, but still no fix.
Phone is basically standard running voodoo lagfix.
Anyone else having similar issues?
I also noticed that the developer has released a new version which he's charging for
edit: Also, for symptoms, ive noticed ive been renamed "unnamedplayer," from GalaxyS

I have had my Arc since it first came out in the UK but have noticed on occasions of late that it seems to have developed a lag, especially on things like accessing the gallery & messaging. Has anyone else noted this?
Nope. However I do use a cache cleaner every few weeks.

Yup, after about 2 weeks mine started to lag every once in a while. I just assumed it was because of some faulty app. So I did a clean install, and 2 weeks later it was the same again. (didn't install too many apps this time)
Mine is still great.
try an app called fast reboot....I find it speeds things up
No lag at all here, 2 months in.
Had the Arc (UK) about 2 months and in the last two weeks things have really started to lag. Have had to resort to rebooting and cleaning the cache regularly but it only takes a day to start lagging again. Wondering whether there is a CPU/ memory hog there in my app suite or a widget but haven't been able to identify anything yet. Once the phone goes below 40-50MB free it is all over and I have to reboot.
This may sound weird but my phone lags during the day and it runs super fast at night lol

I have this lags, too. But I had not to reboot the system, yet...
Any more ideas?

After update on Android 2.3.3 i don't hve any lag. Before that I had lag but nothing to worry about. I think it was Android 2.3.2 that cousses lag.

Same here after about 1 to 2 days the phone memory goes to about 25MB and is practically not useable and need to reboot. I am on 2.3.3
I went through my apps & by trial & error ended up removing a particular app & that seems to have sped things up a bit. Also downloaded a history cleaner & used that & that has improved things a bit as well. But in certain areas it definitely still seems to lag. Have to wonder now if it is something to do with the Arc's hardware?
ok guys after using SeePU+++ i think i found the process that uses the most cpu power and lags down our Arc is "ndroid.process.acore"
not sure what it does but i believe it is the culprit for random slow downs and lag on our phone...
does anyone know what it does? can anyone confirm my findings?
P.s. I am on global generic 2.3.3 firmwre 145
This problem may be caused by a bug in the Google Contacts Sync , just as seen in this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2377
In other devices like HTC Evo this problem persist
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...ore-why-sucking-up-so-much-battery-power.html
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...andom-reboots-magic-bullet-facebook-sync.html
I don't have the Google Sync activated and i don't feel my Arc Laggy
This phone is incredibly laggy. Many FCs or lags when I open the messaging app or other apps... Very sad and frustrating.
One of the major causes of lag on the HTC hero was having too many text messages stored on the phone. Ever since then i tend to not let the numbers build up too much, and i havent noticed any lag problems on the arc (maybe it's a general android problem).

one of the main android apps, your keybord and other important funtions are here, so my advice : dont touch it or you end up reflashing ROM
This is the first time I have used a PAC-Man rom, and I have spend a half hour trying to find a couple of settings. If anyone else is familiar with the ROM, and can lend a hand, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Ok, first off, where to I set the screen timeout? I don't see the setting under the normal settings->display options.
Second, I found that when I look at my recent apps, I see a little app bar with Apollo music player, camer, calendar, calculator, twitter and a couple others in it. Is there any way that I can customize these shortcuts? I play all my music through Google Play Music, and would love to substitute Apollo for it.
For now, that's all I can find (or can't find) wrong. Finally having an S-Off One is really showing off how awesome this phone is.
For the display timeout. Settings>Display&Lights>Sleep.
As for the bar in recents, I'm looking for a way to customize it as well.
Have you noticed any problems with WiFi or loading videos at all? For some reason I can't play Videos through the web or app for YouTube. And my WiFi seems to run at about half speed when I run a speedtest, compared to other devices.
I had problems for a while with YouTube, but without really doing anything it started working (I may have rebooted due to problems with my home screen). I haven't seen away to customize the shortcuts on recent apps yet either. Have you guys charged at all? Mine phone got pretty hot.

I've been running the ROM since we got rumrunner, and I've noticed my phone actually runs cooler while charging and normal use.
I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and checked it. It was cooler than usual like you mentioned. I dont know what the deal was.

Have you had problems with a laggy launcher at all? Sometimes when I return to the home screen from an app, none of my icons or widgets show up until I hit the app drawer.
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
I still have yet to figure out how to change the recent apps. I haven't noticed my phone getting hotter than normal, so I'd check to see what apps you have running.
I also haven't had any issues with YouTube, but for some reason, Google Search doesn't want to work. It just looks like it keeps trying to load and nothing ever comes up. It states that a new version is available, but when I try to update, saying that the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again." So, whenever I need to search for something, I have to go into chrome and search, which is a pain.
I updated to the 10/13 nightly and it seems to be running pretty well. Battery life is a bit better too. In the PACman thread it sounds like the 10/14 nightly didn't quite build right.

PAC-Man seems to be the best of all worlds. Unfortunatly, I have had little luck with it on any phone I have tried it on. Works great on my Samsung 7.7 tablet but tried it on my GNEX and S3 and I would have constant issues. Very laggy and random reboots. Some apps also did not place nice with it on the GNEX and S3. I have not tried it on the One as Vanir seems to be running really good.

I did have some issues with lag, but after switching to Nova launcher I haven't had any problems. It does sound like the most recent nightly has some fixes for the laggy launcher. Other than that minor issue, this ROM has been pretty stable.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
I've had this S3 for over a year now and I've been trying almost all new roms and tried overclocking but none seems to help the lag. I know it's there because my S2 is smoother in everything other than internet browser speed. I can play same game in full detail smoothly on S2 but I have lags even with low detail in S3. Any normal use seems to be okay but here are the annoying issues and I'm hoping someone has advice. Below are the list of issues that occur in every ROM I've tried.
- BT constantly drops connection and sometimes reboots phone. (I've tried turning off PBAP. This does not help. I've also tried raising min Mhz)
- Some games lag a lot. Reinstall/download does not help. Sometimes turning off WiFi helps with lag. Receiving SMS alert during game causes massive lag
I've been trying to install 4.3 knoxless version but gets stuck in Samsung screen so I gave that up. I might try CM11 next although I didn't have good luck with CM builds (seems to worsen the issue).
Any advise before I put this on CL?

If you're getting the same issues on various roms then it is definitely a problem with the phone.

I'm not sure what is causing lag, but my Note 4 had enough of it to be concerned.
Sending SMS and messages via hangouts is brutally slow, just as scrolling through Google Now and within the eBay application.
I have a little bit of stutter in touchwiz, but that isn't near as bad as the app stutter. Wondering if this is something to be concerned with.
only reports of lag I have seen are @

Same here, my phone runs butter smooth with animations set at .5 and forcing GPU rendering. Gotta love that Adreno 420
OP might have a bad device. Try replacing it to see if that fixes the problem. Very few people have reported lag and it seems to be no more then any other device.

I want to point out that I had the same issues you mentioned. I went ahead and performed a factory reset since I just got the phone and I hadn't done much to it. It solved my problem and I'm not getting any more app stutter from sending messages through hangouts.
It happens, man. Initial setup of the phone could go wrong, especially when you load on a ton of apps at once. Might not have been your fault; it could've been the devil that loaded all that carrier bloatware on it.
No lag here either, I've been running a media converter on it 24 hours a day for the past few days to change a lot of my formats to mp4s from mkvs and even with that running in the background, with encoding being one of the more CPU processing hungry things you can do, I can play GTA:SA on it without issues.
I was actually lagging pretty bad past 2 days. I enabled ART and let it go for a day thinking it would get better. I restarted it the second day hoping it would help. Finally disabled it an hour ago and its working as expected... Guess there is no real point. I'll just hope we get 5.0 before the years over.

It was good for me before, but wowee. Thank you for the tip.
I feel the power!! So much of a difference that makes
Yeah buttery smooth here. I've disabled all the ATT apps via managing applications and ALWAYS use Rechild Task Killer - by far one of the best app killers I have used over the years since Tmobile G1, Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, and now Note 4. It helps despite what anyone may think.
Also, as other have mentioned, tap your build number 7 times to enable Developer Options Menu in Settings - General. From there, you can disable animation transitions - I always set all mine to 0/No animation because I don't need animations and that speeds things up a lot.
All my texts/MMS are fast along with browsing and internet - HUGE difference compared to the Note 3 (everyone was right- that phone had the worst WIFI imaginable - I was rooted and had the same setup as I do now on the Note 4). I have my MOTO 360 connected with bluetooth always on. I use Textra as my main sms/mms app. I'm really happy - battery life is excellent compared to my Note 3 because Android Wear eats a lot. I also have 1W weather widget on refreshing every hour. I have location on power saving mode so only Data and Wifi pinpoint my location instead of GPS (this is just common sense - GPS kills your battery so don't choose the TOP high performance option).

Wow, what a huge difference. Thanks!
thats odd because I dont get any lag. The only thing I noticed is once in a while, when opening Hangouts, the GUI gets stuck at a blank screen and I have to back out and enter in again. The other issue I noticed, which doesnt happen often, is that the network gets stuck in a certain speed (i.e. 4G or whatever), when I know I should be getting LTE service. If I toggle airplane mode, it switches to LTE and works flawlessly after that. Its almost as if the modem has a hard time switching networks.
Well, it looks like my Hangout lags is back after I got a ton of auto updates today. I probably shouldn't have left auto-update enabled. There's probably an incompatibility with one of the apps so I'm going to hunt it down. Other than that, the rest of the phone is quite smooth.

UPDATE: The problem is clearly the hangouts update itself. I uninstalled the update and disabled automatic updates. It's running smoothly again.
So the problem with hangouts appears to be the most recent update. Uninstall it and you'll run off of the stock version that shipped with the device. until they've fixed the problems.
The problematic build is 2.4.78234730 (Oct 22, 2014).

I've cycled installing and uninstalling it a few times to verify that it was indeed the problematic version for me. It could very well be an incompatibility issue still, but I'm not experiencing problems with other apps... aside from Instagram being awfully choppy when cropping photos for upload.

I did a factory wipe, disabled all the bloatware i could, forced gpu rendering and changed animations to 0.5x and honestly, it ive been good to go. i did all this to my dads note 4 this morning as well but he said he hadnt experienced any issues yet with everything kept stock

GPU rendering is pointless. I tested the other day. The speed was exactly the same for opening and closing apps, etc. The drawback, if you have flash video enabled and watch any video, shows, movies, etc. - it will be laggy/choppy with this option enabled.
Might need a master reset. I just purchased this phone yesterday. The first phone they gave me reset itself almost 30 times on its own despite me master resetting like 5 times. After the second master reset I didn't load any apps and the issue still persisted. Went back and had them give me a new one. All is well now.

might have spoken too soon. Hangouts works fine after the latest update but i do notice a second or two lag when trying to open the keyboard or open a chat. Its not enough to really complain but it is noticeable.
Noob quesion.. Can someone please direct me to where I go to force GPU rendering on the Note 4? I can't find then setting anywhere. I've been out of the Android game for a while so I greatly appreciate the help. Really like this phone, but the lag on even simple tasks like Facebook scrolling is leaving much to be desired.
(Disregard finally found out how to enable Dev Options.. Man I got a lot of catching up to do.)

Hey, I have noticed that some games run really slowly on this phone. If I turn the sound off it help (in the options menu on the phone not the phones volume). This doesn't fix ever game though. Game dev story still runs slow when I turned the volume off. Game dev story runs perfectly fine on my old s4.
How can I fix this? It would be nice if I could keep the volume on also. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, which model do you have? I have no problems with running games on this phone, maybe its a problem with the game itself? If not you can try a factory reset or reflashing the stock rom.
I'm using the H812. It might be the game, but I have noticed it slowing down when there is lots of sound in other games though. Also I'm rooted if that changes anything.
Noticed some apps also run slower with my H812 (Piktures and HERE Maps are 2 examples) compared to my S5. By slower I mean laggier (very noticeable lag).
Galaxy S5 is still smoother to use. Sad..
So is it mostly our models, or are there others? Also I deleted a lot of the bloatware from it (not all though)
