i recently installed MIUI 1.3.18 along with launcher pro, however i noticed that when i try to scroll through my list of apps, the icons simply jitter up and down very quick and they do not scroll at all.
when i scroll between homepages, its butter.
ive tried reboots and clearing the caches to no avail. im not sure what could be causing this.
any help or insight would be appreciated.
TIA
figured it out... it was the 3D app drawer apparently causing the jitter... hence the EXPERIMENTAL warning...
that was such a bush league mistake, im not really sure how i missed that one lmao
well at least that were on the subject of MIUI, can anyone confirm that the CPU option is gone in 1.3.18?
i saw it on older versions and when it was enabled, my evo was fast as hell
but now in the new GB version i cant find it

Hey..I'm new to the forum and the Evo. I've seen a few posts about this, but haven't really been able to find an answer.
As with the other people that typically notice this, I'm an iPhone 3GS user...I bought the Evo a few days ago and love it, for the most part. I'm used to extremely smooth performance with very little lag. I noticed that scrolling through the application drawer, or the built in messages application causes huge lag, along with other menus. It seems like the most choppy performance is as the scroll is slowing down (like, if you "flick" it). So, naturally, I rooted my phone. Oh and to be clear, I'm not talking about the touch-sensor lag.
Here is what I have done so far hoping that it would eliminate the lag:
- Obviously, I've used Advanced Task Killer and removed the Live Wallpaper. Didn't really do anything. I have about 160 MB of available memory.
- Using the stock OTA rom (rooted), I installed the netarchy-toastmod-3.7.3c kernel to remove the FPS cap on my screen. It worked. Now, my scrolling is more responsive, but still choppy.
- Froyo. I've tried a few different Froyo ROMs hoping that the claimed 250-300% speed increase would eliminate scroll glitches. It did not. I tried Ava and Cyanogen ROMs.
- I tried the netarchy-toastmod-3.7.3c Froyo kernel for the Froyo ROMs. Still...choppy...possibly a little better though. It's hard to tell without seeing it side by side.
My brother has a different Droid phone (I forget which), but it didn't have a noticeable lag like the Evo does, and I know it's specs aren't as good. Is this phone doomed to low-quality scrolling? Any other suggestions?
What you're probably noticing is a lack of refinement in the easing of the animation. The only "fix" will be to view it as more responsive.

You may want to try a different launcher. For super snappy response I have heard good things about Launcher Pro. Personally I am using CM6 RC1 with some ADW tweaks and I feel like its fluid enough for me with no choppiness.
Thanks! The ADW tweak posted made the application drawer seem a LOT better (mainly because of the horizontal scrolling). I suppose I'll either just deal with the other choppiness or take it back and wait for a different phone, like the Epic. Maybe I'm just being too picky >.<
I've had great success with CM6 nightly and LauncherPro. As smooth as you can get. I had a news widget that caused some slow downs as well so make sure a widget is not causing it.
I noticed this too.
Its almost like comparable to a computer game performance on a pc
when it goes from 60 frames per second to 20 frames per second you notice it more.
if they just made it stay at say 20fps speed then it would at least keep a reasonably smooth experience
I will try the CM nightly build see if I have any luck.
I love the evo too but man the iphone 4 seems so much smoother when in reality its probably not.
its all about the way its presented
i am currently using baked snack 1.1 with netarchy kernel
if i install cm do i have to flash a different kernel or will it automatically do it?
Couple of questions regarding the latest MIUI on Evo 4G.
First, I haven't been about to figure out why I don't have the Gmail app. Market is included in the ROM install, but no Gmail or Maps, etc. So I flashed gapps-gb-20110828-signed, but still no. I was able to install Map from the Market, but Gmail doesn't show up there.
Later I saw that this gapps version includes a Pacman application instead of the apps themselves, but I don't have that either.
I'm not entirely new at this, I was running CM7 before MIUI and I had a Hero that I was constantly installing ROMs on. Still, I'm sure this will turn out to be stupid-user syndrome.
Also, anybody else using MIUI find data to be awfully slow? I see that there's no 4G support yet, but I keep finding "it's coming" references that are rather old. Is that really coming?
Otherwise, I really like the MIUI interface and would like to keep it as a daily driver if possible.
Thanks!
here you go
I had the same problem today but figured it out. Go to the market, click on apps, then go to "top free". It should be right there.
Today is my first time with MIUI, but after installing the blue transformer theme and downloading Launcher Pro so I can have an app launcher, I really really like it.
It's so fast and responsive and I must say my battery life is amazing compared to the sense ROMS I have ran in the past year. wish I would have tried out MIUI a long time ago.
Oh well, now I love it!
Has anyone noticed the UI slows down after a while? Kind of like when a notification toast pops up try scrolling around, the framerate drops a lot until the toast vanished. This happens on all ROMs I've tried and several kernels, I've noticed restarting the ui (by changing options or killing the process) speeds everything up again. Anyone else noticed this?
Yeah I think I do see that now that you mention it.
Also happens on Apex Launcher, NOVA standard and prime, and also on the stock ICS launcher. I'm running Franco's 135 w/ 512MHz GPU and tried with slower GPU speeds and same result (I've been luckily able to run 512MHz with no problems, even with the undervolted nightly 133?). If you enable "horizontal recents" (in most custom ROMs, which basically restarts the SystemUI without losing the wallpaper along the way) everything smooths back out. Hate having to do that twice a day or more and can't seem to pinpoint why this happens... Memory leak??
I've never seen that. It would drive me nuts if I had.

What do you run? [ROM,Kernel, Settings?] Maybe I can try your setup and see if I get it there too...

BAMF Paradigm 1.2.
With various toolkit settings, key reflections, dimmed soft keys, battery pack, blocking ads. Thats about it off the top of my head.
I am trying to flash my Inc with a new ROM for the first time, but it seems like more than half the ROMs on this page are either removed by the developer or cant be downloaded because the download links are dead.
Any tips on what to try first, based on what available still? The only thing I am concerned with is that the ROM is stable and compatible with as many of the stock functions as possible, stuff like broken radios is not what I am looking for right now. Would be kinda cool to try one as different from stock as possible. Does CM7 work well on the Inc? I keep seeing people talking about stuff that is broken with it.
Miui 2.3.2

Ice Cream Sandwich. Abduction by Hanger84 is smoother than the Sense ROMs.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA
Abduction is good to try if you want to experice ice cream.... but prepare for some bugs and missing features ( ie Camcorder, camera, & flash on websites and netflix) I suggest one of the gingerbread Roms or Froyo Roms. CM 7 or 8 should be fine, but you loose some of the things you may be accustomed to in Sense (Widgets). But there are pretty good apps that can do what sense does, you just have to look for them.
I'm using CM 7.2 RC1 (RC2 crashes right away for me) with latest ICS Incredikernal and SmartassV2 governor, fully over-clocked. Never crashes, everything works but, of course, 720p recording. I even found decent settings for auto-brightness (Make about 16 levels, start out at ~70, go up in ~5 point increments, then increase. Set Window Length to 5 secs). I have tried three ICS roms but always went back.
I'm using the new Go Launcher but it has a couple of bugs. Clear its data to get the large icons if you are stuck on small. To change settings on the large weather clock you have to do it via the small weather clock.
I use CyanogenMod 7.2. Along with Chad/Tiny's Incredikernel, Jermaine/Tiny's EXT4All mod, and Launcher Pro. Speedy and battery efficient. The latest RC should be fine, I'm on one of the nightlies and have been using Pons' KANGs when his computer was still working.
In addition to Sonny Sekhon's Ice Cream Sandwich CM7 Theme.
If you like the stock ROM, and want something stable and based off of it, Liberation 3.0 is a good choice. It is basically a rooted, debloated, stock ROM. I keep a copy on my SD card incase I need access to EPST or just feel like using Sense.
ICS is getting there, but the laggy animations and general speed have kept me away. It seems to me that the current hardware acceleration isn't 100% implemented. But I have never used ICS outside of the Incredible. So I don't have room to compare.
I'm with the majority here. CM 7.2 RC2 is great. I actually have stock kernel though, I am not sure if performance is better with incredikernel but I can tell you that CM7 is TONS better than stock in terms of battery life, customization, and overall android experience. I like sense but on the Inc, it's like they stopped trying...
P.S. - I also use GO Launcher EX with kovdev's ICS theme.
Well I just switched from Abduction to CM9 and so far CM9 is much better!!

See if Youtube works. Didn't for me. I ended up using the Go Launcher anyway so the experience was the same for me. There weren't as many stock apps like Car Home and the music widget is not the big one. Things like Phone and Calculator open slowly. Never did crash tho or even lag.
Hi, I am new to XDA and was looking for some links to the cm9 rom for DINC. I am currently running aokp_inc_build-25 and its nice but I have had some issues with it specifically with the camera not working properly.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

I use a app called play on for YouTube Netflix and a lot of other video sites.. yea the camera fix seems to break playback on YouTube.. but I'm optimistic that those issues will be worked out since cm9 is still in development. What I love is that every feature u find in other Asop roms u can get apps that do that... so u can customize it better for your own personal taste and still have better stability!!!!!

Ok before I started getting replies here I dl'd Touch of Blue and Stock+, tried ToB for the week and it was ok but started to crash and lag a lot. The latter may have been due to my SetCPU settings, I dunno, but it was getting hung up on simple apps, and I did not like a couple things about it, like getting calls when the screen is off required you to unlock it, then unlock it again at the receiving call screen. Also didnt like the battery meter.
Just installed Stock+ and immediately realized it wouldn't work at all when I saw that the App Data partition was still at 150MB. Thats the whole reason I rooted, so there is no way I am using a ROM that is eventually gonna give me the Low space messages again.
GOnna try the ones you guys suggested now
I like Wildstangs stock ROM, and gtiny's kernel. I used root app delete to debloat it. And run the on demand deadline settings and can go 11 hours on a full charge with heavy use.
I also like the last stable release of CM7.1.0 it is smoking fast and way less issues then the nightlies or kangs to me.

CM7.2 couldn't figure out how to add my Google account. Also couldnt disable the camera shutter sound.
Tried Liberation but the App Data partition is still only 150MB; as soon as I restore my apps its gonna be out of space again.
ALL ROMs for the Incredible are going to have a 150 MB data/data partition. It's the way HTC made it. The only way around it is with the EXT4All mod. More information here. The file you're looking for to remove the limit is "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip".
And there is an options in the CM7 sound settings to disable the shutter sound. Called "Mute camera shutter".
Ok I found the camera sound setting, thanks. Any advice on getting the Google account to work? The Account settings were trying to setup an email thing, not my Google account
EDIT:
Figured out that I need to flash the Google apps pack on CM7 to get that all to work, but ClockworkMod kept failing to mount the pack when I tried to install it. Now I am back on Liberation, because at least here I have my Google account with contacts, but I cannot get the EXT4 fix to work. I download it, open it with Clockwork, tell it to reboot and apply, but it fails to mount it, just like the Google apps pack problem. Using Clockwork 5.0.2.0
I am trying to tweak my wife's tablet to get rid of some very annoying lag. It is rooted and I setup Startup Manager and Greenify to lock everything down. The thing still is very laggy, especially in some games (specifically Star Acres).
I have not been able to find anything regarding overclocking this device, so is that even possible? Would a different ROM help speed things up?
The lag is pretty bad and my phones circles around it (i have the OnePlus One).

I wipe Dalvik and cache periodically and that seems to fix a lot of things. I am stock rooted with no performance tweaks (Tab 3 10.1)
Good luck.
It looks like the reason is due to the Galaxy Tab processor. Unity3d was not designed to run on ATOM.
i installed pimpdroid and all my lag stopped.
its alot lighter than stock rom
