Hello,
Until yesterday i never OCed my desire, I had DJ Droid rom and it was always smooth and slick in terms of interface and apps jumpiness.
Yesterday I decided to try the 1384Mhz rom from OpenDesire. Done full wipe of course, installed the ROM, then after the installation my Desire was pretty hot (probably due to all sync apps work) even before i installed set cpu or did any OC.
Then I said, ok lets try OC, I installed Set CPU, And tried 1300Mhz level and also the maximum levels. and it froze up, i had to pull off the battary and reboot.
Then I tried 1272, Again froze up during browsing...
Then I tried 1Mhz and ran stress test for long, no errors no freez ups.
However, OpenDesire wasnt slick and smooth for me, I mean during sliding the apps menu, it was not smoooth i felt some slowdowns... same about the main interface windows slide right/left. especially with live wallpapers from some kind.
Is it normal? Could I damage something in my CPU/GPU due to this OC? Which causing this?
I tried even full wipe and again from zero placing the OD rom...still had same feeling of none smoothness.
thanks
Any ideas?
I had this problem. I usually leave my Desire overnight so it can sync, titanium backup, fix permissions etc.
After installation of OD, I find that just signing in, then rebooting, installing extras like statusbar then rebooting, then titanium restore, fix permissions, then a reboot usually sorts me out, leaving my desire on sync overnight (market is very slow after fresh install for me =/)
Very long process
OD supports ext3 for A2SD+. Some users have reported that they had problems with several A2SD roms because they haven't got a ext2/3 partition, or a ext4 which I don't think is supported on OD. This can slow a rom down severely, as the phone is looking for the sd-ext partition.
Final mention would be setCPU itself.
Saying this, I have had issues with the performance scaling or whatever it is called... the "interactive", Ondemand, powersave etc.
I dont trust interactive scaling atm (had alot of FC on Pinkys and OD 3.5), as it seems relatively new, and still has some kinks.
Sticking with ondemand, with a sampling rate of about 20k and a CPU threshold of about 85%, I have pretty good performance. I have found that upon starting up setCPU on OD 3.5.2, the settings are 20k/11% which could be your problem.
Tried now GeFrost, well the apps icons panel ( 5 pages long...) when sliding again had freezy/laggy feeling....I've wiped GeFrost and installed LeeDroid rom with Sense UI, Now i feel good again I suspect that "none sense UI" Simply not for my touch and feel style... Sense UI feels much more smoother just like DJ droid rom i had...
So my CPU isnt damaged and could not get damaged from what I did... right?

Your CPU could have been damaged from overclocking - I'm not saying that it has been, but there is always an element of risk when you overclock.
If you really want to overclock, my advice is to always start low and then incrementally increase. If you get to a point where the phone starts to become unstable, drop the speed back down a notch.
Furthermore - not all CPUs are made equal. Just because someone else manages to overclock their CPU to 1384MHz doesn't mean that you will be able to - it's just the luck of the draw.

Dave
Hey,
Thanks for your answer.
Well on regular clocks its not freezing up to the level where I need pull off the battary...Something that indeed happened to me on OD with OC.
So far LeeDroid rom works smooth.
How can i find out if my CPU got damaged?
Anyone else had such lock ups which needed battary pull off, with OC on Desire?
Thanks!
Whenever you use a OC kernel, you run the risk of damaging the internals.
Non of the internal components are EXACTLY the same. Some can support lower voltages, some can substain higher Clockspeeds.
My lockups with OD is purely on the SetCPU settings.
Have you got a EXT3 partition on your SDcard? Because I see LeeDroid supports Froyo A2SD, while OD&DeFrost Ports are all LegacyA2SD
This may be the problem, instead of a issue with your internals, as the internals would most likely fail/rapidly overheat altogether if there was a problem.
Well I think my desire is warm as usual... not warmer. Only time it was really warmer then usual. Was when i just installed the OD rom and market was syncing all my massive list of apps all together which i think caused CPU over work but thats was even before i installed set cpu and did any OC....
Anyways LeeDroid now works i think as smooth as DJ droid. without any OC.
As for your question about EXT3 How do i check that? could this cause the lock ups with set cpu while using OD oced?
thanks
ext3 is a linux filesystem partition that you would of installed onto your SDcard, either by RomManager or Linux LiveCD/Linux OS
As your unsure, I'm pretty certain that you have not partitioned your SDcard. With A2SD+ (which are both on the OD and Frost roms), the phone is told to read Apps and delvik cache from the SDcard. This means no applications are actually installed on the phone, but the "internal" memory is now the ext3 partition on your SDCard.
Ext3 is required for both OD and De/GeFrost roms.
With this, it sounds like your CPU is fine, as LeeDroid is running fine, and that you are using Froyo A2SD.

Thank you for your kind help.
Should Desire feels warmy in hand during its being connected to computer's USB?
Thanks!
Yea, thats usual. There is still power coming from the computer to charge the battery, so its fine.
I've had my phone hit about 50 Celsius on several occasions, while I've fell asleep ontop of it while playing music, and so far, no visible damage to performance etc
Again, the issues with OD just seem to be based around the lack of a ext3 partition on your SDcard, so don't worry too much about the CPU being damaged.
Just be cautious in the future with OC, and never OC more than you need It can drain more battery, and end up breaking your phone (in extreme cases).

Thank you so much,
So indeed OD / Gefrost was an EXT3 issue (lock ups, super slow down and lock ups which caused battary pull offs). How can i confirm this?
While DJ droid and LeeDroid working smooth with Sense UI.
thnx!
Only way is to reformat the SDcard, either with Rom Manager which is easiest (available for free on Android Market) or a Linux variant. This will remove all data currently on the SD, so back up everything
Add a ext3 partition to your SDCard (swap size is unnessacary), and install OD/GeFrost.
There will be a major boost in performance compared to previous times.

Hey guys. Anyone found a fix to the lag issue when scrolling up and down in the apps drawer? To know more that I mean, pls click on the below 2 links:
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679037&highlight=scroll+speed
and
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657569&highlight=lag+program+menu+htc+desire
That's strange, I don't experience any lag at all... It's supersmooth and fast.
Ditto, smooth as anything here
Are you using a live wallpaper? one thing i've noticed is cpu intensive live wallpapers make scrolling the apps menu lag quite badly. At a guess i'd say live wallpapers remain running when the apps menu is displayed.
Switch to a static wallpaper or the relatively undemanding htc sense live wallpaper, see if it makes a difference.
Weird..no lag here.
Super smooth.
Yeah, I have a solution for you: buy an iPhone!
Okay, enough trolling. I experienced that as well, but it suddenly stopped and now it's very smooth. I don't know what I did, but I am certain that it stopped after the second 2.2 OTA.
I have a few different ideas you can try. I do all of these on my own phone and it's snappy as anything, even though I've limited the clock speed to 650 maximum.
1) Copy everything back to your phone if you currently have most/all things on your SD card, leaving the things on your SD only if they're actually big. Say, everything below 2mb keep on your phone.
2) Install a different launcher, like ADW. Aside from possibly being a little faster, it allows you to customize your app drawer and remove things you don't need. For example I've removed everything I already have an icon on my home screen for, and now I only use the app drawer for odds and ends or things I'm still deciding if I need them or not - like, 15 things at most usually. I don't even NEED to scroll!
3) Install a better OS, like Cyanogenmod. It's faster in general.
4) Install an OS (or patch/script) which allows you to use an EXT partition on your SD card for apps. EXT2/3/4 are much faster and lower-latency than FAT32.
5) Use SetCPU or a similar app to increase your CPU's MINIMUM speed while the screen is on, from 245 to 384. This will eliminate the initial stutter your phone may have before it decides to clock up the CPU. Even though it's a 50% increase or whatever, in practice it will have virtually no effect on your battery life since it will only take effect while the screen's on - at which time your screen will be using lots more power than the CPU does at any speed.
If #5 solves it for you, just remember the stuttering you're experiencing is only for the sake of battery savings, it's got nothing to do with your phone's performance. In that sense, it highlights one of Android's features rather than a deficiency, even if it's doing this in an unattractive way!

I have my Desire set at 768 max and there really isn't a noticeable difference from the normal 998. Hell. I clocked it way down and it was still WAY faster then my HTC Magic ever was. It's funny that the Desire's processor is faster at 3xx mhz then the Magic's is at 710mhz. I found the Desire to be unstable for sustained periods of anything under 700mhz though. Is yours running stable at 650? Maybe it was just the 691mhz speed I was using.
Just wondering if anyone else has lags in there roms the more apps and games etc they add/install.
I have tried loads of roms and they all seem to slow down and get laggier and laggier the more stuff you install.
Im currently using Superrom HD Data2Ext v2.0 and thought it was ok at first then when it starts to fill up it gets worse.
Anyone know a good rom that doesn't lagg up on app and game instalation.
I currently have 18 app/games and it runs fine now and again but some times it can just lagg like mad, this morning I had to remove the battery it was that bad and unresponsive.
AOSP roms are very good with not becoming laggy and also the stock rom as well. HD rom tend to lag as I found out last week with InsertCoinHD Data++. Even using my internal memory, it still lagged massively.

Storing stuff on SD card will slow down your ROM, especially data.
I used to have data on SD card and tried a lot of combinations of kernels and IO schedulers but all of these showing various lags. Strangely enough, some of them gave very high quadrant scores (because of various caches) but almost as a constant I observed that the higher the quadrant score the more laggier the ROM.
If you need more space, store your apps on SD card. From there, the VM will generate .dex files in /data/dalvik-cache.
The key point is to keep your phone running as much as possible from the internal memory. This will reduce lags.
HD ROMs have more lagging than the non-HD ones. That is what I have experienced and I have tried almost all of them. So I am back to (modified) stock ROM.
But there can be many other reasons ... kernel ... settings that are done at boot time through /etc/init.d, very difficult to say in general.
I have got about 75 apps on my phone. No lags. Also no degrading performance over time.
I am running the stock Froyo (and removed unneeded bloatware), with custom compiled kernel, OC at 1113Mhz. Only apps are installed on SD (because otherwise not enough space) but all the rest is running from internal memory.
Check how many (background) services are running on your phone. I have 11. They may compete for some resources.
One other point ... check your kernel. Dalvik VM on HD ROMS requires cgroups enabled kernel. If your kernel does not have cgroups the VM will stall (causing lags).
Check the logcat ... you will see error messages saying "Unable to find CPU subsystem" ... in that case your kernel does not have cgroups.
Hi there, well im just asking for help. My device 800i is lagging as hell and i just dont know why. since 2 days now, i tried everything offered here and its just getting worse. My two setups i tried are :
Basic : 800i, 16gb Sandisk cls4
A: Stock Rom .62
Kernel Doom v11 , bfq and SmartAss V2 ->1107 mhz
Supercharger v6 U9Rc7 with Option 7 and 20
Link2SD, 2nd Partition ext3
=> Micro Stuttering and furthermore, all games pauses itselfs like it needs to reload or something. YES, I mean Pauses, the pause-screen do appear in every game, in short periods
I switched to Doom v10 cause i thought microstuttering came from the gpu-oc. yupp it got fixed, but still get those "Force-Pause"-Screen
B: JokaWild Rom V2.5
Kernel Doom v10 , sio and SmartAss V2 ->1107 mhz
Supercharger v6 U9Rc7 with Option 7 and 20
Link2SD, 2nd Partition fat32
=> Oh my...this is even worse. instead of microstuttering or pause-screens (which seems to be gone here) its like periodically lagging as hell.I cant really describe, its just so heavy lagging. In between though, it runs super fast (until it gets its mega lag-cycle.
now, i dont know what to do..im getting like crazy cause everything just runs ****ty....i dont even want to start with a gameloft game, cause they are already "special"....this + my lagging would turn out to a flying xperia ...if ya know what i mean
please help me, thx in advance
i do however prefer stock, cause it runs "fluentlier"...just this pause-screen-reloading-crab annoys me haaaaardd
Im having the same problem bro, any help would be great
Sent from my R800i using XDA
okay first i thnk i will revert back to supercharger v6 u8

have you tried moving your apps to your sd card? how much internal memory do you have? have you tried other troubleshooting tips posted here in the forums?
I am using JokaWild v2.5 (see my signature for more details) and my Xplay is extremely stable and fast and no battery drain issues or lags. Have you tried factory reset in settings menu? any task killers installed? clear cache and memory? maybe you have corrupted backup and no antivirus at all?
debloat the rom? found my phone significantly sped up after deleted all the unneeded stock apps and timescape stuff.
thx bro´s and a special "salamat" to my fellow-countryman
i actually tried both of your advices too. (Besides the 400+mb trick) just no luck :/
my actual plan is to : (this is kind of a guide i guess ^^)
* Format my sdcard (16gb) to 14,3gb Fat32 - Rest ext4
* Revert to Stock 62
* Doing a Factory Reset
* Flashing Doom v10 (without baseband .36)
* After a Restart, Flashing the needed zips (like wifi-modules, bravia etc)
* Setting bfq and smartass v2
* installing the "tweak.apk" for touchscreen-tweak and gpu-home-rendering
* (Optional) the 400mb+ internal memory thing
* getting link2sd for auto-moving to 2nd partition
* reinstalling my apps
* debloating my Fw
what do u think? any tips? thx in advance
I had lag this week, R800i .42 firmware, micro-stutter, and forced pause mode on at least one game. That was Gangstar Rio, which is a very buggy game anyway, but also just web browsing caused a lot of annoying stutter. I don't use task killers, and have always had frozen bloatware since rooting. But it's working well again now after restoring a lot of stock settings:
- Downgraded Doomkernel from v11 to v10. I don't think my GPU likes being overclocked either. My 3D benchmark in Antutu was consistently a bit lower. But now it seems I can now O/C to 1.4GHz on Doomkernel v10, at the 1GHz stock voltage if I want to, I'm just not sure how comfortable I am with O/C-ing habitually.
- Un-supercharged v6 U9Rc7.
- Restored my original backup of build.prop. Something in it caused my CPU to top out at 921MHz on boot, but restoring the build.prop also seemed to make that and a lot of lag go away. I have no idea what I did to it
- Went through the options in PowerAmp and ensured anything pertaining to an auto-scan of library was switched off.
- Went back to normal CPU settings of 1017/249 ondemand. Trying the lowest clock for the min speed and SmartAssV2 gave me my one and only bootloop (may have been a coincidence).
- Uninstalled some unused games from internal memory - can retreive them from the Market or from TB if I need them. This probably made no real difference as I only gained about 5MB or so.
After a day or so, my phone runs fine now.
I am an Android newbie though, so while that worked for me, I'm not confident about my own "advice" for other people...
yeah i got this 921mhz thing on boot too, but it is fixáble by setting it to 1017 in voltage control as an init.script.
----
i somehow have the feeling the lag heavily depends on the sd card. it is a sandisk cls4 which is good according to a thread here in forums but i think that there must be something wrong with it...hell i dont even know if i already exceeded the lifespan lol ^^
^ Yes I found that worked, but I didn't want to have to rely on boot scripts to fix something that wasn't broken when I was fully stock
I have a Sandisk Class 4 as well... 32GB not 16GB, but I think they're pretty tried and trusted. I read the forums heavily before buying the card as well. I've never really had lag before this week (other than when I'd just closed a heavy game like GTA, and the launcher needed to redraw etc)
exactly what i did too. i came to the idea that my sd may broke because everything feels like it needs to reload. i think sluggish is the right word to describe it.
are u using supercharger?
^ I don't have supercharger installed now, but that's mainly because my logic was to put everything back to how it was. I wasn't sure what effect it had on performance other than to keep the launcher in memory.
i can confirm that laggyness will decrease with it. but tbh in the latest rc... i think its too agressive for my device which leads me to use the old v6 u8

have you tried setting your read/write cache to higher than 2048? do not use voltage control or antutu I've tried those before and they only drain your battery use sytem tuner as it has everything you need. I set my read/write to 6041 and it speeds up apps loading time. I use transcend for my 16gb sd card and only costs 1.5k+ pesos. I do not use link2sd as zdbox has built in feature to move apps to sd card like app2sd. You can also try moving apps through Titanium backup. Try tweaking your startup apps as well (use system tuner). "Sakin ka maniwala kababayan"
Sorry that I have to post this here...I don't post much, just am a super power user... any thoughts on how to make this rom perform faster? I push a button and wait for the phone to respond. Especially slow when it comes to the maps app. An seriously contemplating going back to cm9b14 if not all the way back to gingerbread to get the speed I need from a device. I type faster than it is able to display the letters when searching in google. Not wure what feature to turn off or how much more I can overclock the thing.
On install I did a factory reset, total partition format, new sd card format, efs wipe, and ed's ril/gps fix after install.
Not sure how to tweak v6 supercharer. Seems too complicated honestly.
Thoughts?
Thanks...
I just started running Mimicry today and I find it to be quite a snappy ROM right out of the box especially if you picked the V6 Supercharger and the Virtuous OC Daemon from the Aroma installer. I believe doing this automatically increases your clock speed to 1209 Mhz. However if you want to increase the speed of your CPU some more, can modify it through the Performance menu or you can download SetCPU.

I can attest to that, mimicry is pretty fast, no issues so far. only problem I had was when I tried to multitask between navigation, whatsapp, and viber, my navigation froze and i got lost :crying:

Make sure your partitions are all ext4. Also, v1.1.1 is out
update
1.1.1 definately fixed a lot of issues i was having. i also removed the option to have the kernel installed and dropped the speed way down on setcpu. seems to be a lot better now.
First of all - a great thanks to all of you for all help, tips & tricks, roms and everything for this little smartphone.
Second - I beg forgiveness if you think this is too noobie, or if I've comitted any crimes agains the rules of the forum.
And now to the cause:
Being a complete beginner here isn't that easy. It's litterally a djungle out there with all roms, scripts, tweaks, terminals, mods, odex, deodex etc. Fortunately there is hope even for us noobs. With the great tutorials that are shared here on the XDA it has been possible taking part in the wonderful world of enhancing and custumizing one's phone without ending up with a bunch of bricks. - So great thanks for that!
Looking around one can find many different roms, and various ways of enhancing performance such as overclocking, moving apps and data to the SD-card and so on. And what even complicates matters is that it is very hard to know what goes together, what doesn't and what's included in what, ie a rom. I realize that the choice of cobination is often a matter of personal taste, but my thought is that somewhere there must an objective truth of what makes the best phone.
Which leads to the question:
What is the best combination of scripts, apps, perhaps roms etc for optimizing the performance of the HTC Wildfire S?
Perhaps it is hard to reach a consensus on this issue, but at least it would be interesting with some kind of debate.
Could there be a way of testing combinations against a set of criteria to generate some kind of rating?
Personally I've managed to do the following to my WFS. Perhaps someone would like to comment or give me hint on how to proceed.
I have a HTC Wildfire S A510e, marvel
It is rooted and S-ON
Runs this rom: MIUIv4-marvel-2.8.10-odex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735773
Inserted is a 32 GB Sandisk class 10 SD-card with the following partitions:
EXT4 1 GB, SWAP 256 MB, FAT32 the rest.
Running Mounts2SD with Apps, Data, Dalvik Cache moved to SD and Cache depending on where most space is available.
Running Swapper2 with Swapsize 32 MB and swappiness 60 (seems to be working after checked with command "free" in terminal)
Running No-frills CPU Controll set to 768-120MHz, smartassV2 and noop.
(also the radio doesn't work because I never tried using a Ruu)
This combination, with 50 or so apps works fairly well but is quite slow. The real trouble thous is that it reboots every once in a while and the reboot takes a couple of minutes due to "optimizing applications". I've tried a startup manager and different settings of Mounts2SD to adress the problem but without luck. Getting to the bottom of this is hard, so I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
You may also just laugh at my noobiness!
The best combination actually depends on your usage of the phone...........this is something you will have to find out by testing yourself
Since you are using Mount2SD,try another script like Cronmod's INT2EXT4+ or INT2EXTV2+ and see which is smoother for you

Looking around one can find many different roms, and various ways of enhancing performance such as overclocking, moving apps and data to the SD-card and so on. And what even complicates matters is that it is very hard to know what goes together, what doesn't and what's included in what, ie a rom. I realize that the choice of cobination is often a matter of personal taste, but my thought is that somewhere there must an objective truth of what makes the best phone.
Which leads to the question:
What is the best combination of scripts, apps, perhaps roms etc for optimizing the performance of the HTC Wildfire S?
Perhaps it is hard to reach a consensus on this issue, but at least it would be interesting with some kind of debate.
Could there be a way of testing combinations against a set of criteria to generate some kind of rating?
Personally I've managed to do the following to my WFS. Perhaps someone would like to comment or give me hint on how to proceed.
I have a HTC Wildfire S A510e, marvel
It is rooted and S-ON
Runs this rom: MIUIv4-marvel-2.8.10-odex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735773
Inserted is a 32 GB Sandisk class 10 SD-card with the following partitions:
EXT4 1 GB, SWAP 256 MB, FAT32 the rest.
Running Mounts2SD with Apps, Data, Dalvik Cache moved to SD and Cache depending on where most space is available.
Running Swapper2 with Swapsize 32 MB and swappiness 60 (seems to be working after checked with command "free" in terminal)
Running No-frills CPU Controll set to 768-120MHz, smartassV2 and noop.
(also the radio doesn't work because I never tried using a Ruu)
This combination, with 50 or so apps works fairly well but is quite slow. The real trouble thous is that it reboots every once in a while and the reboot takes a couple of minutes due to "optimizing applications". I've tried a startup manager and different settings of Mounts2SD to adress the problem but without luck. Getting to the bottom of this is hard, so I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
You may also just laugh at my noobiness!

I recommend this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283549 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 for increasing the memory. I have 8 GB sd-card (partitioned, with int2extv2+ script internal memory of 2 GB) and about 30 apps. It is really fast and battery lasts about 2,5 days.
