My EVO has becoming slower. This was obvious through Quadrant, but also slightly through daily use. It was snappier on the first day.
I am rooted; I'm currently on the MikG v1.0 ROM with Gingerbread 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1/3.0 . I take care of my phone: I run a cache cleaner each day for internal storage as well as the SD card. My internal storage is 45% free (194MB) while my SD card is 58% free (4.35GB). My microSD card is a Sandisk 8GB Class 4.
Now, I don't blame any ROM for my low scores / slightly sluggishness. My first ROM was Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4, then switched to RLS5 within a week once it came out. i used to get scores fluctuating near 1300, even 1400 some times. I don't think I had ever gotten a 1200 back then. I've played around with other ROMs too, including Mikfroyo's ROMs, CM ROMs, and Virus's ROMs etc.. I always properly wipe data, cache, & dalvik cache as well. I've tried custom kernels, mostly being attached to Netarchy's kernels. However, on my currrent ROM I can't use his kernels because there is a specific kernel for this ROM that prevents Wi-Fi and Sprint WiMAX 4G from breaking / being unusable. But you see, the problem isn't even the kernel, because even when I was on a Netarchy kernel on Myn's ROM, I started getting scores nearing 1000 (I've even got around a ~950).
So what's to blame for these low scores? Just the phone becoming old? I'd prefer not having to use a new kernel or ROM, because I've had this problem with most ROMs regardless of kernel. Also, what can I do to speed up my phone?
Thank you so much in advance to anyone who provides help.
I'm pretty sure quadrant scores mean jack ****. That's what all the devs say, at least.
Mik's 2.1 sense w/ some 3.0 also runs considerably slower than stock if that's what you're noticing.
Probably just paranoia and your ROM.

That'd make sense, but I've actually gotten slightly better scores on this ROM.
Also, I started getting lower scores on Myn's ROM first - from 1200s-1300s to 900s-1100s.
EDIT: By the way, I've seen scores in 1700s. Does this just range from phone to phone? Makes me feel like my phone sucks comparatively, lol.
Your phone is like a computer. Sometimes, you just need to start over to clean everything up.
Mine got like that a few months ago, so I ran S-OFF, RUU, re-rooted, etc and started from stock. It made a big difference.

Yeah, my fault. The S-ON tool is for use when you used Unrevoked to root your phone. You can d/l it on the unrevoked website.
Flash it in recovery before you run RUU
I am finding out from using different roms and getting a feel and see of how fast or slow the actions on my phone has not does not always agree with quadrant...if you run quadrant multiple times you will get different results....not changing anything...so is that a indicator of how good or bad your phone is? Or could it be that quadrant is flawed to use as a gauge. I don't use quadrant anymore near the frequency I did it the past...I would flash a rom every other day it seemed like and over clocked..under clocked...smart ass/interactive/ etc...every setting under the sun to make it faster...smoother and so on just for a few more bars on quadrant or speedtest...ot fps...then I realized I was just wearing out my batteries and buttons and wasting time..quadrant is not even a speed test...it is really a judge at how the darn quadrant feels like the score it wants to give you. Maintenance of the phone is needed.but a few hundred points that could vary after hundreds of hours literally of trying to max out poerformance.....ask yourself...is it really worth it...that is what I now tell myself...

Hey all. So I am a fairly new Evo owner, about one week now, and after flashing my first couple of Roms, I have noticed some significant performance issues with my phone.
I have followed all of usual steps when flashing, wiping, backing up, etc. Yet after trying the Ava ROM and moving over to Myns TwoPointTwo, my phone speed and Quadrant scores dropped significantly. (scored below Moto Droid. I outscored the nexus 2.2 on first rooted and flashed Rom)
I just did a hard reset on my phone, and there still seems to be some performance issues, though not as bad, fps and slight keyboard lag.
Any suggestions or advice on getting my phone back to 110% would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry in advance if this is duplicate thread. Im on my phone now, and not near my pc for some time...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The first thing I would try is a different kernel. For my EVO, 95% of the performance issues I have experienced have been kernel related. I flash a new one, and if my phone likes it the problems clear up. Make sure you wipe dalvik and cache before you flash it.
Ive only had my evo for a week and a half now. And like he said try a different kernel. Ive had to try a few different rom/kernel combos until i got the. Preformance. And batt life i wanted. Its wa worth the hassel though. By fay the best phone ive ever had.
|{Sent from Anjahls EVO}|
I flashed amon ra recovery, fully wiped, nandroided, and flashed Myns ROM w a suggested kernel.
So far my performance has increased 10 fold. I haven't run a quadrant score yet, but at least the fps is back up and my keyboard lag went away.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
My benchmark scores are terrible, just short of 1100. According to the benchmark app, quadrant, I am very under average compared to most Evos. What are some mode, roms, hacks, etc that I can run to get back to at least average, if not higher? I'm currently trying out Mik Z and I typically run either MikFroyo or Konikub's Elite Series II.
I know that those numbers look great when they are high, but the real test is...does your phone feel fast? Dont put too much faith in those benchmarks, your eyes, and hands will tell you if your phone is fast or not. Cheers!

The phone works perfectly on every rom I've used except CM7 (I used the wimax alpha, so it wasn't perfect for me). Very fast, iPhone fast even. However, I know that our UI is processor based and not graphics based (so our Adreno 200 doesn't have to process the home screens and such). This is strictly because I've seen Evos run 1700s and I'd like to try to get it.
Most of the roms that run 1300 and above are aosp roms. And it also depends on overclock speed and and kernel. it isn't just about choosing the right rom but the right combination of rom kernel and clock speed. it is basically trial and error. This website was started by skydeaner and it is a review of several different roms and kernels. It is a good website for the information that you want and can help minimize the amount of trial and error. hope this helped

well you also have to keep in mind every phone is going to act different. Some phones can over clock much higher than others. Some kernals play well with one phone, and terrible with another.
So you could exactly match my setup, overclocked exactly the same, everything, and yet one phone or the other is going to almost always be faster.
I know my phone doesn't seem to have issues one way or another betweem BFS and CFS kernals, but some people I know, and I've seen people say it on here, their phones really only handle one or the other very well.
but as the other guy said, if you want fast speeds, dump the sense roms, AOSP, specially GB is going to be much faster.
Gb is fast. Cm7 with savagedzen cfs at 1190mhz averages 1500-1700 I have gotten 1400 with mikfroyo 4.5 and netarchy 4.3.2 cfs more have.

I've tried wiping and installing 3 times but still the same on boot everything is timing out so I just hit wait and after 5 minutes it boots. Then I open a program and it goes black screen for a long time then may timeout or load never know. Tried to restore 2 little apps from titanium And it took minutes to go to 5% so I canceled. Then I tried to restore my go SMS messages and it was just as slow. Any thoughts on why it's so slow?
TIA
I don't think there's any rom developer who makes a rom with the purpose of being slow. So I would say that no, it's not supposed to be real slow.

Then why f up the I/O on Godmode that bad. I wiped everything and changed SD cards then redid that card and it still sucks. I love synergy but godmode is worthless being 1/10 the speed of non godmode roms. Quadrant score is 1400 but takes 5 minutes to pass I/O test. I'll go back to normal non godmode rls1 and try it.

Well I'm running rls1 with godmode and Im not having those issues at all. It just seems that most people who flash with godmode don't have any problems, but a few do. Have you tried flashing without godmode?

Flashing without god mode was better for me. God mode was pretty bad.
World peace with no regard for human life.
I havnt had any problems with god mode but I flashed the freedom kernel and sped it up. Runs bad ass now
MY DECEPTICON EVO
It seems strange but, it seems that godmode effects each phone differently, for mine personally, I flashed godmode rc2 and it was terrible, then rls 1 and godmode was a lot smoother. I've also heard of it not being better on either or worse on both releases. So sadly its up in the air, I still prefer non god mode though.
Sent from my Synergized Freedom Evo.
I gave up on Godmode. It was a nice concept, but my phone didn't like it. I'm back on CM7 for the time being.
It seems most troubles I've heard of are version 0004 phones. I don't know if the I/O is different or what but godmode spits on my phone sadly. I might try with freedom godmode kernel but doubt synergy kernel is made that different on the I/O. I heard it's the same just modded for cfs, under and over volt sadly no SBC yet. Thing I'll stick with non godmode most likely.

Yea godmode is picky. I have rls1-gm running and so far so good but I basically had to reformat my sdcard, install Rom, install 3.0 carousel then install Freedom in same recovery instance and go from there. I might go to regular rls1 though because GM seems to not like mods after the fact. ie, if I install a rosie or titlebar it becomes laggy. If I do the install at time of Rom install it's fine though.
Honestly I don't think GM is as fast as the quad score makes it seem either. I think the patch it does makes it more of a placebo effect.
I've run both modes of rls1 with no issues. Switched to non gmode so I could mod things a bit easier. Seems just as snappy as gmode. Still on the stock kernel for now. My friend is running non gmode cuz he had major lag issues with gmode. Seems it just depends on ur phone.
Yeah I tried everything with godmode I'm on standard rls1 now and runs smoother than rc2. I think godmode messes with quadrant output only by all accounts of it no one can 100% it runs way faster. This thing is smooth as hell without it. Think that why kingdom runs so bad for me also. Oh well happy now. Thanks team synergy keep it up.
I tested RLS1 godmode and nongodmode, I personally prefer the non-godmode version. I did get much higher quadrant scores with godmode. My non-godmode system just seems to be much more snappier, if that is a word. HW-0004
synergy rsl1+godmode and freedom aggressive kernel for godmode
Man I have had no problems with godmode as a matter of fact until a sound update for synergy comes through this Rom with freedom kernel rocks
Fixed the laggyness
I followed the steps talked about in this post and everything is smooth now. Before it was pretty bad.
Thanks Dredz
I read in Development forums that the new Nitrous rom is
an updated stock rom that is much faster. I have flashed
many roms and kernels in the past and never saw a speed
difference (unless overclocked). Well I tried Nitrous and again
noticed no difference in quadrant or nenamark2 scores (I game).
I flashed the hotspot hack and it did not work, so I flashed
a supposed faster anthrax kernel. Nothing got faster, but now
the hotspot wifi works. So Nitrous is a good looking rom, but
I don't get how everyone is saying it is faster. The only bugs
I found is that set cup or cpu master, as well as sd speed increase
tweeks do NOT stick after reboot. Anyone have any ideas on that?
And can people post their quadrant and nenamark2 scores to
show if it is really faster? Thanks

Quadrant scores dont really tell you anything and can easily be manipulated, linpack scores are a slightly better judge for performance but still not truly accurate and easily manipulated, your best judge for true performance increase is to use it for several days preferably a week and see how it runs for you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That's kind of my point. I have tried many roms/kernals and no matter
what speed claims they have, they are all the same (sense based).
I would think that 3d games like Shadowgun, Nova, or Dungeon Hunter
would seem faster/smoother with so called faster roms and kerrnels
like Nitrous/Anthrax, but they are exactly the same speed as Sprint
Stock HTC Evo 4g? All these roms floating around are visually different,
but the speed is exactly the same, so why do devs claim their rom
is faster?
I watched a guy on youtube flashed 119 roms/kernals and said
SavageZen/MUII or something is twice as fast (quadrant), but
the guy lost the ability to mount the phones SD card and 4g!!!
So, my question is:
For the Sprint HTC Evo 4g rooted,
what is THE fastest sense rom/kernel?
Or are they really all the same speed?
Mainly interested in faster gaming, and I do have chainfire installed.
Thanks
Damn Hotstocks at this point I don't think there is anything different anybody can tell you that would really meet your demand... Perhaps maybe you can seek the opinion of notorious XDA Guru "Captain Throwback" and see what he thinks on this matter, this dude forever has a good tip on just about any relevant issue.
Hmm, it would just seem that people around here would
know what is the fastest kernel/rom for full Sprint HTC evo 4g
sense compatibility. Unless I am mistaken, all the sense roms
are the same speed and people are lying when they say they
are faster (Nitrous). I can see how Cyanogen or a senseless rom
could be faster, but all the sense roms I have tried were no faster
than Sprint HTC stock. Maybe a Nitrous user can chime in here.
Hey,
I am not sure what he did to the software of the phone but it appears to me that he didn't tweak the system speed at all but if you noticed transitions are faster and he changed a lot of the animation settings to no dealy so they move faster and gives the Rom the appearance it is faster but the Rom itself has no physical speed changes. That's my two cents anyways
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button

You do realize the evo is almost 2 yrs old and is severely limited in capabilities by its hardware right? No one can answer your question because every evo is different and every user is different what makes my evo fast may make your evo crawl and vice versa, you also have to wait several days after flashing for the rom and kernel to settle in before your really see any performance difference, you cant flash a rom for an hour or 2 and then judge it they HAVE to settle

This is pretty much what it is hotstocks, just keep in mind these are just a few factors that may vary results from user to user.
Thanks for the info. I know the hardware is not dual core or the newest.
And I do let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. I don't see any reason why
it would need to settle in for a week, but will use it for a week. And the
statement that my evo will be a different speed than yours makes no sense.
If we both have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g running the same rom and kernel at the
stock 1ghz, they will be both the exact same speed and should quadrant the same.
Obviously if I have a bunch of programs running in the background, that changes, but I am talking about after a fresh clean flash.

U obviously need to read some more, there are 3 different hardware versions of the evo 002-004 and all have slightly differnt hardware thus they all act differentlu with different software, it takes much longer than 10 minutes for hardware to adjustbto new software which it why it needs to settle in for several days

Thanks. I know my phone isn't the latest and greatest.
But I am holding out for the LTE Sprint phones coming this
summer. It would be silly to waste my 2 year upgrade on
a Galaxy SII with wimax, when I will need an LTE phone this
summer. Plus it will probably be a quad core 1920x1080 monster
also. Right now I am just trying to make my phone as fast as
possible. It is overclocked to 1.13ghz, have sd speed increase at 2048.
I thought there would be a SIMPLE answer to which sense rom and
kernel were definately the fastest, but I guess no one can answer
that simple question. I have been working on computers for 30 years,
I can install windows XP, windows vista, and windows 7 on three identical computers, I can also flash old and new bioses to the motherboards,
and I can DEFINATELY then benchmark the same machines with different bios (rom) and kernel (windows version), and tell you what is the fastest. I fail to
see why this is so difficult to do with a smartphone like the evo 4g. I would think that the rom/kernel with the highest quadrant (graphics) score and highest Nenamark2 score would be the fastest rom/kernel. Games or 3d graphics is where the phone runs into a bottleneck.
not all evo's are created equal bud, that's just how it is
Every computer, phone, tablet, game console, router, etc. is going to have significant performance variances at an individual device level. Even ones that are identically configured, running the same OS, software, firmware, drivers, etc. A 20+ year career as a network engineer showed me that, and nothing has changed in that regard with more modern electronics.
I'm running the Nitrous ROM as my daily driver so I'm rather familiar with it, and I really don't see how you can claim that anyone lied to you. The ROM has simply been tweaked to speed up the UI, transitions, and a few other things. Read the first section of the OP for that thread -- it clearly states what has been improved. Nowhere in there does it claim overclocking or anything that would improve phone gaming. The improvements related to data/Wi-Fi have quite a few other factors at play, including the base level variances between devices that I mentioned in the first paragraph. I haven't really noticed an improvement in Wi-Fi, but have noticed an improvement in 3G.
All that said, the ROM is visibly faster and "prettier" (which usually don't come together in one package) on my EVO 4G than any other Sense ROM I've put on it. You need to read/understand what the dev did and not let your expectations get so out of whack. If you want better game performance, you're simply going to have to get a better phone. For its time, the EVO 4G was an absolute BEAST. Now? There are quite a few better phones.
Thanks, and I agree. The evo can still play almost any game on the market (not gta III) with acceptable performance. Nitrous is a nice looking rom, my 3g is same speed. I am using it as my daily, but it is misleading that it is claiming to be faster than stock, it is the same. I also seem to have a problem with sd speed not sticking between reboots, even though I have checked it. Same with CPU master free (set cpu) settings not sticking thru reboot. I also think the live wallpaper wasn't sticking thru reboot, but that was on 1.2.7, haven't tried it on 1.3.1., just wastes battery.

We'll just have to disagree on that one, because overall it's a much faster ROM for me. However, I use my phone as just a smartphone (multimedia, light browsing, email, texting, etc.) where the Nitrous tweaks would be more obvious and beneficial, and then use my Acer tablet far more for gaming.
I think you should just pick a Sense or AOSP ROM that you like and is well supported, and then focus your efforts on various kernels and trying out their options/settings to try to get the most out of your "old" hardware while you wait to get a new phone.
Thanks, I actually did that and it is how I found Nitrous.
I think it is the best sense rom right now, but it has a few
little bugs. I can't post yet in the dev forum for Nitrous,
but the live wallpapers definately do not stick with reboot,
goes back to Nitrous default wallpaper. Other than that
I am pretty happy with Nitrous and Anthrax kernel (for oc
and wireless tether). Real stable. I was just saying that
when the dev says it is much speedier, and his lock screen
says "Nitrous Oxide System", I expect to see a noticable
speed increase. If you put Nitrous Oxide into a Corvette or
Mustang, it doesn't just get get 1% faster, it gets 25% faster!
With Nitrous you REALLY should notice the speed difference.
Yo Hotstocks I'll give you credit for sticking to what you feel son LOL I'm shock you still debating in this thread however if it's ok with you let me give you a little tip since I noticed you might be a little excited to comment on the Dev once you get more than 10 post... Be very gentle with what you say over there because these people spend a lot of time and effort behind what they do for somebody to come and talk smack about their work... Chances are they'll rip you a new one if you cross the line... Just saying son don't take it to the heart either.
I've got a lovely rooted, unlocked LGOG LS-970 plugged in right next to me. But, I'm finding myself feeling a little left behind in more than one instance:
I've got the impression that swapping AOSP and stock ROMs is a finicky task with our LGOGs. It's really a chore; as far as I can tell, I have to wipe internal data coming from either camp. And I can't even switch from Vectus to any other stock ROM successfully without wiping internal data.
Is this par for the course?
Insofar as the stock playground goes, I'm only able to get up to the 1.22 Liberty Kernal; if I run any of the OC'd ones, the phone lags considerably, especially at boot, and doesn't read that it's clocking higher than 16ghz even when max is set to 17 or 18ghz. Burning hot or cool, same same.
I've doodled around a bunch trying to get the more recent Liberties to work, to no avail. I've had a bit more luck with TricksterMod than ROM Toolbox Pro, but no one else in that thread seems to be having similar issues (or has given advice I haven't tried out).
Welp! Just a general "hey? you smell that too?" inquiry.
And I think this is my first thread. Party.

I've got the impression that swapping AOSP and stock ROMs is a finicky task with our LGOGs. It's really a chore; as far as I can tell, I have to wipe internal data coming from either camp. And I can't even switch from Vectus to any other stock ROM successfully without wiping internal data.
Is this par for the course?
Insofar as the stock playground goes, I'm only able to get up to the 1.22 Liberty Kernal; if I run any of the OC'd ones, the phone lags considerably, especially at boot, and doesn't read that it's clocking higher than 16ghz even when max is set to 17 or 18ghz. Burning hot or cool, same same.
I've doodled around a bunch trying to get the more recent Liberties to work, to no avail. I've had a bit more luck with TricksterMod than ROM Toolbox Pro, but no one else in that thread seems to be having similar issues (or has given advice I haven't tried out).
Welp! Just a general "hey? you smell that too?" inquiry.
And I think this is my first thread. Party.

I'm not sure what your question is......par for the course? I wish I could say no. But, I've been rooting and ROMing phones since 2010, when I got the HD2 and could not believe the Windows 6.5 garbage that came installed. I've rooted, ROMed, and customized 7 different phones in the time and so far the only phone I had MORE trouble with was the G2x. God, that phone almost swore me off of LG for good. When the Nexus 4 came out, I decided to take another chance. But, I digress. The fact of having to wipe internal memory is not the end of the world. It does not dump your files, only your memory related to the ROM(app cache, data, etc) As far as OCing is concerned, I've found that OCing is not the end of the world either. Not too long ago, phones weren't very fast, and OCing was a viable option to get a little more speed out of the device. We have one of the fastest phones made these days, so OCing shouldn't be that big of a deal,and you won't notice distinguishable speed differences anyway(I tried with my N4; it would over clock, and seem a LITTLE faster, but that was all) As for switching between 'stock' and 'custom' ROMs, I'm afraid that is kinda par for the course. I personally believe the issue stems from most stock ROMs being 4.1.2, and most custom ROMs being 4.2.2. But, I have no real proof of that, just a suspicion. If you are rooted and unlocked, and want to try something different than stock, try one of the builds I make (JellyBeer, Beanstalk, and CM10.1/Linaro). The custom ROMs are not without their quirks, so if you need complete and total stabilty, they may not be for you. But, they are cool to use and you may like them enough to look the other way at the occasional hiccup, I do. The CM/Linaro build is a good stock-ish ROM with some added speed that has been noticed by the users of it. If you prefer a total stock feel, try Lifeless or Vectus. Both are very well made and those who use them swear by them. Be cool. PM me if you need any help with anything. Oh, and watch out for those cows!

Yuppo. I just did some backuping, and factory-, data-, and delvik-wiped Lifelessv14 three times to flaash the latest Vectus V3.
"FAILED"
Doh! Again?!
Fair enough. Even though it's stock-to-stock, stuff happens. I have backups.
Insofar as overclocking, it's not so much that I'd like to push the phone faster (this phone, we know, is fast), but that I just couldn't figure out why, after a fair amount of trials, I wasn't able to, when, seemingly, many others could.
Basically, I want to ask, when you say wiping internal data doesn't dump your files, which files do you mean? My /sdcard gets dumped.
... Incomiiing! *mooooo*
EDIT: But, then again, I just sideloaded it and it said "FAILED," and booted. Who'da thunk?
