hello everybody
I am totally a noob as you say. i have a defy officialy updated to 2.2.2; since then i have some lag and reboot. in the french forum i have been advised to move to cm7 to avoid such pb. they give me links and tutorials, but it seems very hard to me to go ahead, i roughly succed in recording apk in the sd cards.
they try to help me nicely, but i feel totaly lost moreover with this strange vocabulary you use
this is why i am wondering if it is a good thing for me and the use i have of the defy to try to upgrade it.
basically, i read my emails, skype friends, facebook, read ebooks and take pictures and video of my sons i don't feel any probs with motoblur, don't play game or video or other stuffs like that.
even now, i am writing with my laptop .
i am pissed off when it reboot but it isn't not the end of the world.
what cm7 could bring to sb like me ?
thanks for your help
I do not use the Defy, but it sounds like you are happy with your phone. CM7 streamlines a lot of
unwanted and imo unneeded apps (and lots more really) from your phone. If you are satisfied with your phone's performance I see no need to do anything. I do however use CM7 and love the less is more feel and MUCH better performance.

Hmmm...if y you are new to rooting, flashing and using recovery and is not adventurous, then I suggest to stay with froyo as of now especially if you don't have the time or a spare phone. But if you really want a faster (case to case), good on battery( case to case), beingconstantly updated phone, then change to cm7.

This is really a nice qn
I have used official eclair froyo miui cm7
cm7 is not so gud in customizations.
They give some hardware acceleration and you will not find much of lags on that gingerbread UI.
For looks, i recommend u to use Launcher pro . I am using it with cm7 and the combination is perfect.
U can definitely move to cm7 latest nightly.If u want good camera then u can move to milestone 2 rom.
On the contrary, CM7 is heavy customizable. Lots of features. I suggest you read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 and the CM7 thread for the latest Google Apps and Cm7. It's not that hard to install, actually it's really easy if you follow their steps.
You can use ADW/ Launcher pro or GO launcher. I personally use Go Launcher and i like it, doesn't crash, loads fast.
You can PM me if you want help in upgrading. Why keep your smartphone on 2.2 when you can unleash it's full potential with 2.3.4. Another reason is apps support, everything works on Gingerbread but not everything on Froyo, Hardware is much more faster ( download Quadrant Standard from the market) i get 2200-2400 . Browsing, doc reading/editing is much smoother. Better battery and the list could go on.
Oh, andf Nightlies are for testing... RC0/RC1 are stable versions to use.

i had a quick look at the tutorial for noob and it is clearly easier than thr one i read before.
finally i will keep this version but i will keep on reding here, as i am very nosey i will certainely jump the gap one day.
thanks for all your replies and explanation
Had cm7 on my SGS got my defy and knew it had 200mhz less processor but otbwas very laggy needed restarting loads lots of force close. Opening Google maps was a joke.
Installed cm7 all better now and it removed the 800mhz underclock so now rocking a 1ghz and it works better then my SGS. Did some quick boot tests, opened a few apps defy was quicker then the SGS and the iPhone 3gs

I suggest you to read this thread. People around here usually talk about pros of CM7 (and custom ROMs in general), but you have to be aware that there are certain cons also.

thanks,
after an attentive look at it, it seems that most probs are on camera and as it is a main use of my defy i will stay with official froyo.
thanks guys
I had some reboots and issues too after updating to official froyo. They were all gone after doing a complete wipe.
If you have many apps installed and stuff on your phone, root your phone using SuperOneClick (is really, REALLY easy.. click, click rooted) and install Titanium Backup. Save all your apps and do a complete Wipe.
After that, your phone should be working perfectly. To do this wipe, with the phone turned off, hold Volume Down and turn it on (while still holding V. Down) at the triangle screen press at the same time Vol up and Vol Down. There you will see the options to Clear Cache and Delete User data.
You could also try only wiping cache, it wont delete any information on your phone, but might fix issues (No rooting or anything special needed for this)
Hope it helps~
Zephyrot' s post speaks true. See if you can't fix the issues with a factory reset / cache clear
For the first few months I didn't want to really root my phone or flash it as I was expecting ear piece problem. When I finally took the plunge I wanted a rom that removed motoblur, it's launcher and almost everything else so I could configure it myself from market apps and always have the latest versions.
This lead me not to CM7 - which is also rather bloated and still rather buggy when i last tried the nightlies it 2 weeks ago - but Barebones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977989
I installed 1.5.1 after flashing the nordic 2.2.2. I have never been happier.
I have now updated to 1.5.6 + the update.zip for market fixes - used Titanium backup *root* to transfer my apps and settings. I replaced the zoom launcher with launcherPro, milestone overclock to 1100 at 65vsel (after some testing with lower / higher settings).
Finally it was a blurless, bare rom that has the pure minimum as a base and all else can be added via the market afterwards.
Advantages :
its 2.3.4
highly customizable
gr8 performance
lots of options under cyanogenmod settings
mobile will be fully flexible
rest all feature u will come to know only when u try it
all the best
Hey guys, I've had my play for just over a year, I've installed countless roms and had a ball doing it. Unfortunately I think the old girl is struggling to keep up with the last couple of custom roms, cm9.1 and mark phyton's un/official ICS rom. The latter is the one I am running now and even after a reinstall it is nearly unusable, it's extremely laggy and freezes on apps like facebook, kindle and youtube. Ram sits at 30-40mb free, I have link2sd running to free up internal memory and am overclocked to 1.2ghz with setcpu. I know ICS is pushing the limits of the play's capabilities but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be this bad can anyone suggest anything to try to get better performance please?
ICS roms are not suitable for the play. If u want better performance use a GB rom instead

Hi guys,
I have question regarding my HTC Desire Z .. Ever since I rooted the phone about 1.5 years ago, and have been trying out the newer ROMs, I've slowly realized that my phone is getting slower, slower, and slower .. I'm currently using a Jellybean ROM, and its *extremely* slow ! I mean, at times I receive a call, and the ringer rings about 5-6 times, and during all this time, the phone doesn't have the juice to switch to the phone app, so that I can 'accept' the call ! Ultimately the call disconnects itself!
A friend recently suggested to me that maybe the newer ROMs are two powerful for my phone, and that I need to move to an older Android version ROM, which my Desire Z CAN handle, without this much lag !
Also, I hardly have any apps installed on my phone at all, in an attempt to keep the load low .. I also use 'Advance Task Killer' regularly to kill background apps, but it doesn't really improve anything ..
What can I do to improve the speed of my phone !? I really pisses me off to see a 10-15 second lag when I call someone !
Get rid of the task killer first of all...

I dont think it will make any difference .. I've tried many different ROMs, and its always the same condition with all ... Sometimes my phone become *so* unresponsive that I just feel like smashing it on the ground ! (When I really get upset!)
Also, on another note, when I open Advanced Task Killer, it shows me the amount of free RAM on the top .. Most of the times this value is between 60 MB ~ 100 MB, and sometimes between 100 MB ~ 140 MB .. If never seen this value go above 135 MB or so ... And Desire Z is supposed to have 512 MB of RAM
just full wipe and reflash the rom

If I do that, it will initially be fast .. Even if I install all my apps on the first day, it will still be okay in terms of speed ... But give it a week, it eventually becomes slow .. very slow! .. And the odd thing is, during this week, I don't necessary install/uninstall anything .. the phone just ****s itself in somehow ... And then from then on, it remains slow, no matter what ...
I open Google Maps, takes like 15 seconds to open .. takes another 60 seconds to go to Google Navigation, and then further lags after that ..
Basically there's a lag in *everything* !
Is there a way I can see what is slowing down the phone ?!
Also, is it true or not whether an older phone, such as Desire Z, can or cannot handle a relatively newer Android version ROM ? Maybe this is why the latest Android versions are NOT officially available for phones many times, because the manufacturer knows the device cannot handle that newer Android version ?
If your rom supports ext partitions, make sure all of yours are formatted that way. Chances are you have sopme bad apps, a logcat may hedlp determin abused wake locks or memory leaks. Also you can try downloading battery batt stats or watchdog for more infor

i had a play with elitemod ics the other day & it was defiantly slower than the GB version... it was using more or less double the ram which i suspect is the real problem.....
Yes its true the newer versions are more hungry. We touched on it in one of the andromadus threads recently. I believe the issue to be the cpu. The nexus s has the same amount of ram as us and although its not as good on there as the gnex, its still good. Having bumped my lower cpu limit a notch, its much better. I also tried a few upper limits and found that 1200 to be best as it suffers with animation under that.
But then all dz's are different. Stay on your rom and bump up the lower limits a few clicks and let us know what you think.

I've noticed the slowdowns happening with negligible CPU load and no memory constraints. I suspect a problem with the kernel. At the times it happens, the phone seems to be just doing *nothing*.

Is there any other thing I can try apart from logcat ? I installed Watchdog a few hours ago, but so far it hasn't reported anything out of the way ..
What does have ext partitions do ? How does that speed up the OS ?
Also, I'm probably going to be re-flashing another ROM soon, so please suggest me a ROM ... I'm looking for maximum longterm stability and responsiveness here, so even if a ROM isn't the newest or the most feature-filled, I can still try it out ..
And what is Superwipe (read it in another thread) ?
Normally, when I restore stuff after installing a ROM, I download a fresh copy of the app from the Store, and only restore the app's data using titanium .. is this okay ?
For the sake of starting fresh, flash the ext 4 recovery and flash mimicry as your rom. Read all suggestions in the first few post on mimicry, to flash 4ext I made a thread, you'll find it the first page or so in the general section (dzhboot or something)
Mimicry is one of the best made best performing full featured ics roms for our phones, partitioning everything to 4ext (easily done through recovery) will make it far better. Other bonus tweaks will be added in.
There (in my opinion) are beter performing gingerbread roms, but I do sugest mimicry as it is amazing and the dev has laid out a wealth of knowledge in the first few posts

I'm assuming you're referring to this thread: http://www.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187
Well this is the ROM I'm currently using, which I flashed about 2 months ago, which is giving me all these performance issues ..
I went through the first few pages, but I didn't find any instructions on 4EXT ... The only thing I found was in the OP's FAQ in the start, which said that you should apply ext by downloading 4ext from Play Store, if you get lags ..
Anywhere else I can look ?
Look in general section, somewhere in the first page I posted a thread called dzhboot on g2 or something to that extent, one of the first few posts I eplain how to flash 4ext recovery.
One of the fastest roms I have used is elitemod cm7, maybe try that

I have been wondering the same as the OP. I have been using andromadus and andromadus mimicry roms for the past few month. I tired cm9 unofficial but it was no different to mimicry in terms of lag. Currently on flinny's jb beta http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005136. Lag is not terrible but too often I am looking at a white screen waiting for something to happen.
I often experience lags opening apps like phone and browser (any browser). Phone hanging when trying to make a call is particularly annoying because my wife asks "why is your phone so ****?"
I would love to have a really smooth experience like others report but even with a fresh wipe I seem to have trouble. When I try to reduce the process limit i still seem to have too many processes running. What should i look for in logcat in terms of tracking down the problem?
Maybe 4ext will sort it out? I am very loathe to go back to a cm7 rom.
Ext4 worked really well for me to speed up my phone.. I highly recommend it.

It's gotta be a certain app your installing thats hogging all your memory, I been running mimicry ever since blk released it n have had very few slowdowns.
Never had a problem receiving/making calls 'wiping' is not the same as 'superwiping' its different then just the name, I suggest you do some reading up before flashing any more roms.

i superwipe, and i've been flashing roms since the g1. I am not seeing any particular process hogging resources. this current jb beta is pretty good but still get some lagging at random.
if that were the case I would love to try and find out what it is.
it seems to me that a minority of users report lags in rom threads and are dismissed without ever really getting to the root of the problem.
I would really like to try and get to the bottom of it. I am going to move to ext4 but if there are other troubleshooting steps to take I am all ears.
Ext4 alone will make a huge difference, and most of the rest of the slow downs will be do to apps/running services which can be seen with a logcat what is continually trying to use cpu resources
If only a minority report slowdowns then either that minority has a different idea of how the phone should run/ they use the phone in a completley different way/ or have different settings and apps then most have.

So, my problem is that every ROM I flash that isn't htc sense, like cyanogenmod for instance, my ram fills up to the max. Progressively after using the phone for about an hour (it, generally being very, very fast), it'll slow right down. I got to my running apps to find out if anything is running up my ram, close everything, and I still have 0.0 bytes of free ram... like, wtf? I'm decently experienced with android coding and thought I'd seen it all.. Any help?
"EDIT"
Hey! Sorry for not checking back for so long, I thought the thread was dead.
Just to clarify me and Lars problem for anyone who's trying to help:
We can run any sense based rom 100% okay, I've even tried the new MIUI (sense based) and it works flawlessly(the ram issue I mean). With any ROM on ics or jb that is NOT sense based, our phone will freak out after a short amount of usage and lock up really horribly, to the point of complete silence from the device. It just won't do anything.
Now, I've managed to narrow down the problem myself, although I can't really act on it because I'm not experienced with coding at all. I believe the phones RAM gets taken up because of the com.android.media process. This process will open when the phone turns on and will try to scan for new media, although something strange happens. My RAM continues to fill up for as long as this process is running, the number or free mb slowly getting smaller, until it reaches zero. When this happens, the media process (along with most other processes that would still be running) throw themselves into a loop of restarting and restarting again, until I eventually manage to click the stop button. However, this doesn't help. The phone remains in it's intensively laggy state.
Can anyone help?

I've managed to discover more information about this problem, and it appears to be stemming from my SD Card. When my sd card is not inserted, media storage doesn't have to run. The phone runs smoothly when this happens, and I have almost 100 mb of RAM free. Although, once I insert the card, media storage starts up and eats up all the RAM on the device until the number reaches 0.0bytes free, in which case the device becomes inoperable. This trend will not change, and I'd like to see if anyone can help me out.
Many thanks,

I have the exact same problem. For me it came after a repair under warranty by HTC. Did you get a repair too? If so HTC probally screwed us.

No, because sadly it works fine with the HTC stock ROM so I can't call their bluff on it.. I need to figure this out though, sense is killing me. I need my aosp or miui fix ahha
same. but i dont know the problem than, for me it worked just fine on cm10 before the repair, flashed back to stock, send it in for repair, got it back, reflashed cm10 or any other cm based rom for that matter and had ram problems, so in my case i think htc screwed me. here's to hoping someone may know a fix

Well **** eh, you think that they'd still take it if the bootloader was relocked?
Probally not. I had mine relocked and had to make a big fuss in the store to get a free repair. They were gonna charge me €300 while the phone itself was €289 at that time. (And I only had the yellow spot screen problem....)

Please read that scruffy. Android doesn't manage apps like windows does. Free ram is useless ram when it comes to android.
Hope that helps, also which governor for CPU you use? Could be a cause of the slowdowns also.

hi there.. sorry but this ain't a battery problem, its the phone slowing down.. i'm facing the same problem.. im on cm9 and phone lags so often.. i checked the ram and less than 20mb free while i did'nt use any app.. it shows only usual process (settings, launcher, google service, swiftkey, facebook, poweramp)
i have used cm9 for months without problems.. i tried some sense roms lately and revert back to cm9 and now i'm having these problems

hey
i didnt say it was a battery problem. the governor you use can greatly affect the speed of your phone. i usually use smartassv2, because it adjusts the cpu speeds to your usage.
ill say it again, free ram in android is wasted ram. processes get cached, held in the background in ram until they are needed again. because it says you have 20mb free of ram, thats 20 mb thats not being used, which means its useless ram. android task killer (built in by the way) automatically caches or closes old processes that arent in use anymore to make way for the stuff you do use.
dont shoot the messenger, im just explaining how it works. also i have noticed through testing supersick kernels with jb, that some make the phone lag more than others. if you are on cm9, i would advise you to upgrade to cm10, where kernel work is actively being done. ics kernels are not being developed anymore. simon is working on caf kernels and implementing ion, (dont ask me what we use right now, look through his kernel thread for his explanation) which he said what we use right now is not ideal for memory management. there are no guaruntees that what he implements will be pulled back into ics kernels.
cm10 (im on cdma btw) with supersick kernel 12-30 has been rock solid for me. no lag, no slowdowns, and great battery life.
sorry for the wall of text, hope that helps though
Well 20-30 mb free wouldn't be a problem because like you said android does manage things different than windows. But the OP and I have 0 bytes free ram right after boot, so we can't open any app at all, they all crash instantly. So that's our problem, not too little ram, since that's good on android, we have no free ram at all.

did you relock your bootloader and ruu back to stock? sounds like something went haywire in the unlocking/rooting/romming process. also did you flash multiple roms to see if its just the rom you are on? try cm, aokp, pa, sense, etc. eliminate all loose ends.
if you relock, ruu, and unlock/root/rom again with multiple roms/kernels, and the problem still isnt solved, id say you should contact htc. your mainboard may be going bad.
once again, dont shoot the messenger. im just trying to be helpful. gotta eliminate all possible causes before calling it a hardware defect.
Did do all those things indeed. They may have set me up with a faulty mainboard than (I send it to HTC for repair of the mainboard and after that this problem started) f you HTC.
By the way like we said, the problem isn't there on any sense based rom. Only cm/aosp based Roms. So it may not be the mainboard than I think right? If it was it would be on sense roms too I think.

are you cdma or gsm? and yeah, htc may have just got your phone, looked at it, laughed, and sent it back. i have heard many horror stories about companies not even working on stuff being sent in before sending it back out, or sending rejected stuff back out as warranty repairs.
strange that it only happens on aosp based stuff, do you use the task killer in sense? it goes against what i just said to say this, but heck, maybe try a task killer for android. or v6 supercharge your aosp based rom. something has to solve the problem.
I'm gsm. And they did fix my phone for sure since it wouldn't boot at all before the repair so I don't think they just send it back. Did supercharge the aosp rom, didn't help. And I don't use a task killer on sense so that can't be it.

I'm in the same boat. Stock runs fine but all aftermarket roms lag insanely. I've found SIO and NOOP schedulers to be the fastest and even put the CPU on performance and ran the clock up to the max, still lags to the point of being useless. I tried a few roms a few months ago so I forgot which ones but I just tried this ROM again yesterday: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878994 and even w/o installing really any apps, after a half-day I tried to use the browser and got ridiculous lag. I just gave up on AOSP roms on this phone, least there's a plus, you get the burst camera w/ stock
Bumpity bump.

I seem to be having problems with 4.3.1 roms.... i've been using slimbean 4.3.1 build 2 and slim halo based off the same build, i like using the uber kernel so i can oc and get better performance out of some games i play. i use my phone for general stuff, but i also play alot of games on it. i cant post in either one of those threads, because i tend not to post because im pretty good about reading and searching. usually find stuff that way. but any time i flash one of those roms with uber using either clockwork mod 6.0.4.4 or twrp 2.6.3.0 i get random reboots when the phone is put under load, or just sitting idle even with the screen up. not usually during regular use, and i cant get antutu to work(fcs). ive read about problems with 2.6.3.0, and i cant find out if this is the issue or what. id love to make my phone more stable, i had a backup of build 1 of slimbean but now it wont let me update apps so i just deleted it. i tend to use 1836 oc, ondemand gov. with row i/o, but have changed these around a bit. am i doing something wrong? can anyone suggest anything please? any roms/kernels
combos reccommended for good gaming, i use psp emulator alot. please any suggestions or even noob bashing is welcomed. just cant figure this out and would love to be able to use my phone without these goofy random reboots... sorry for the long post, and thanks to all the developers and other members of xda.

Ur over clocking ur her too much that's pretty much what happens when u oc and use a CPU intensive app or game.. Try knocking it down to the 1700 mark or even 1600.. Reinstall antutu and it'll be fine it probably shut down on u while u were testing.. Its happened to me.. I was having some troubles with 2.6.3 and switched to 2.6.1 and everything's been great on 4.4.. I think the main issue is that ur just pushing the CPU too far
i thought that too, but i forgot to mention that even if i dont oc it still does it. i think uber combined with those two roms doesnt work well on my phone or something, but slim halo with uber even at no oc runs stuff faster than anything ive tried... maybe i need to try to get used to other roms, i love slim, its always been great for me. thanks for the input, ill mess around a little more.
also, i run full oc on uber with other versions of slim, just trying to keep up with the latest stable releases.
