Slow = hardware fault ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I flash quite a few Tom's and kernels etc but is it possible to damage hardware doing this? Recently my phone got really slow and laggy so thought if I do a full wipe it would be fine
Nope!
Flashed a few different Rome and stuff and still slow
Its only slow when unlocking and scrolling through homepages, apps seem to run OK but things like pulling the status bar down is a slooooowwww!!
Wasn't sure if one of the cores could be damaged or gpu or memory and can't first d any test apps to find out if there's any failure
Anyone know why it might be like this? I usually use aokp with nova launcher and trinity kernel

The act of flashing lots of ROMs and Kernels isn't going to damage your hardware. But there is a higher chance that you've crossed up some things or made a bad combination and flashed to your phone that's making it slow.

Let me guess you ran the 512 trinity kernel.... And you wonder why your gpu is having a hard time.........

[Q] Semi-Constant force closing when I overclock

Hi there.
I'm running Warm Z 2.2 w/ Chad's 12/23 cfs +v25 kernel. Everything runs smooth until I overclock it even a notch up. Some times the phone freezes as a whole, reboots, and yeah.
Is there any way I keep these force closes from happening and still keep the same ROM and kernel?
-Pocketing HTC Incredible-
simple answer is yes, by not overclocking. I personally havent ran Warm Z but I do know different phones have different problems that could be caused by (small)difference in hardware. Such as not every phone having the same overclocking ability. The problem could be your just doesnt support overclocking and not be related to your kernel or ROM. But dont give up hope on my account.
Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable on your setup then me will chime in and correct me.
Thank you for your reply bro. I hope my hardware can be overclocked. Maybe I will try a different kernel / ROM and see if I notice a difference.

its still a tortoize :'(

hey guys m a noob i have in this roooting process for like just a few months and have changed around dozen roms.i currently on cm7.2 latest verison and my fone crashes around 5-6 times a day.i am using cm7 performance tuning as cpu 729-729(performance) compcache 26% vm heap is 64.in order to speed up the device i have installed sd speed increase on 3072kb but no results.my fone has around 60apps of which 55 are on internal memory while 5 on sd card i used mtd partion and partions were as system 130mb,cache 20mb,and internal 315mb.my fone lags like anything i was using adw launcher the other time but it crashed every 5times
now i am using go launcher and it is atleast not crashing now but it is very using as if i m using 512mhz processor.the games are also very slow ninjump is very annoying on the device.i surfed the internet for qvga temple run but it force closed and so with other games like nfs shift(not responding) and gangstar west cost (unresponsive)
did i rooted it wrong should i root over again?
also i flashed ruu and then also flashed cm7 but still its laging.
using the stock kernel of cm7
please help ASAP
Dissemble your phone ,cut your processor into 4 pieces and you will have a quad core.It will then become super fast like a leopard.

This is nothing to do with rooting. You should know that wildfire doesnt have a gpu in it so the games dont run as they are suppose to be running. So overclocking doesnt do any significant good to its performance.
I see that you are running it at 729/729 which according to me is too much because the device heats up quite a lot with these settings and also leading to craches. Try atleast lowering the lower value. I personally use 691/352 with smarassv2 and it doesnt give me much lags with the scripts I use. Mind you I use adw launcher with all the animations enabled.

i know wildfire doesnt comes with a gpu but ninjump should work flawless with overclocked processore my fone doesnt gets heated even on 729 if i use if for more than 6hours in straight and by temple run and gangsta i meant those games were mend to be compatible for a arm v6 processor still they arnt working even if i try everything with chainfire 3d
Yes they are compatible with armv6 processor thats why you are able to run them. But mind you games need graphic processing. Slow processor without gpu (graphic processing unit) can not do all the processing by itself.
Still there are many scripts available here on xda which can improve the performance of our device. You can try those and see if they help you.
:banghead: and then with some rolleyes.
using my thanks as likes
Just because you can't feel the heat doesn't mean it's not there before the phone gives in, every cpu has a different tolerance level.
Drop your cpu speed and it should stop the rebooting, I've heard of people that can't go above 691 before too.
As for the games its been said before many times, no gpu=no good graphical games, this cpu can't handle it. If you want a good phone that can don't buy bottom of range phones that have been out for years.

I have searched a lot but only wat I could do was to increase performance a little and that too unstable if you can be so kind to give me links of the scripts you are talking about I would be thanful to you.also you said games are compatible for arm v6 but temple run v6 verison doesn't opens in my fone it just force closes everytime I try to open it while I have seen many galaxy y users run temple run.I am not complaining about the performance(no gpu) but atleast they run do you have a solution?

if you dont want to help its ok but dont unnessarily demotivate people who want to make something of their phone or who want to learn something.if wildfire is an outdated fone i am amazed why there was an unofficial cm9 port for it or an muni v4 port.for some people the fones do matter :/

First of all read my post correctly, I gave you advice on how to stop the random reboots? How is that not being helpful?
Secondly it doesn't matter if they are compatible with armv6 they use a more advanced graphics engine which will just not work for us. I'm also guessing that a galaxy y has a gpu?? (correct me if I'm wrong).
As for your your other comment, the sun is shining today and I'm in a good mood so I won't bite!

Some were causing errors which I noticed in the logcat. It also contains a script to disable logcat so I removed it too.. You can say that I customized it to my style.
Ps. Dont ask me to make a zip for you as I dont have a working laptop.

Dont worry it wont lag. I will give you a list of mine but not now. In a couple of hours maybe.

First of all drop ur processor frequency because it is not supercomputer.use scratch post value,they r best for wildfire...
For games its just like running mass effect 3 on Pentium 3 with no nvidia or amd....
Thirdly don't be rude to other members because u r noob and scratch is a senior member and bro scratch helped me alot while I was rooting....
What u had done to your phone,I can only pray for it,even HTC will also not accept it,they will donate to nokia....

Amazing Spiderman lagging for anyone?

The game seems to be lagging quite badly on my Nexus 7 whereas its pretty smooth on my Galaxy Nexus. Running motley's kernel with GPU at 484Mhz and no OC
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yes Ive been wondering the same thing tried it last night and it wasn't necessarily laggy but more choppy in parts .... Im going to try batman today and see if its the same
Im running stock, with trinity kernel OC to 1500, no GPU OC my scores were 6900+ so it maybe is the game in some parts?
Did you guys check the force gpu option in the developer settings menu?

yes, lots of people hitting over 7 k
I keep it at 1500 myself, but tried at 1640 with fsync faster, cpu online and force gpu rendering with trinity kernel and stock rom gets you past the 7 k mark, try it
back on topic, seems like batman ran fine not the type of choppiness that was in spiderman, seems like its a game issue.
It's very laggy. Batman runs great but for whatever reason spiderman runs horribly for me.
Got this e-mail from Gameloft:
Dear ******,
Thank you for your letter.
We would like to inform you that our developers almost finished the new update which will bring a fix for this, I'm asking you to wait for this update hitting Google Play soon.
Kindly take our apologizes for the inconveniences.
Your patience is highly appreciated.

yeah, same here, the game seems to lag a lot when spidey is swinging and when too much action happens. I am glad it's not just me then, I was so surprised, thinking if a quad core nexus tab can't handle it, what can?

Quick question about a new kernel

So the other day I installed an unofficial version of cm9 on my Evo. As many of you know, cm comes with options to over clock out of the box. Sadly, with the stock kernel you can only go so far. I found a new kernel online, and flashed it onto my phone, only to find out it ruined the rom, forcing me to reflash cm9. I was wondering if there are any kernels that I can install to overclock my phone further? Pics included

atyoung's Mason ICS kernel should work...
May I ask why you have the desire to.overclock so violently? Most the time, underclocking will even show no loss In performance and save battery. All times I have overclocked, I've never noticed a major difference.. it may be slight but not enough for me to care..
why is your min/max the same?
The rom I downloaded is a little laggy, just wishing to speed things up a bit.

One more thing.. pegging your CPU at max ghz will eventually destroy your device. The EVO is made with a single core 1 GHz snapdragon and so anything really over 1GHz will really put a strain on your processor. Best advice would be to either flash a new kernel, ROM, or find some tweaks to decrease lag. 1.2GHz isn't healthy for your phone...

Hot phone

Hello all. I have recently flashed AOKP and I am loving it. My only problem is that the phone gets really hot. And not just on this ROM but on anything other than full stock. Why is this? Is there a fix? My friend told me that installing a custom kernel can help. Is there any truth to that? Thank you.

It depends on what you're doing. Of course using alot of apps or playing games will cause the cpu to run at full speed. Its going to get warm.
No just from texting or using the web simple things
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Its a known issue on the GS3.
Don't worry about it too much.
The processor is made to handle heat, and it doesn't come close to failing from heat.
If it really bugs you, you can always try a custom kernel and undervolt and under clock to see how it runs.
My GS3 runs extremely hot playing games, (Real Racing 3 to be exact, and it ran so hot I honestly thought the motherboard would start melting lol) I flashed a custom kernel, undervolted and it runs much much cooler now.
But yeah don't worry about it too much
It was made for that

I would try flashing the KT kernel or any other custom kernel u may prefer and see how it runs with that kernel stock settings and then tweak yo or like from there. Keep in mind all phones are different so some ones else's set up or settings may not work the same for u
