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

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"

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.
Regards,
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.
I usually play Fifa 12 with my xplay. it run so smooth but only when I reboot the phone before I play the game. So when I play Fifa12 during the day, There is so much lag and slowdown, Even with Hard gaming mode of ram manager pro and use fast reboot app before I play the game. on the other hand, if I reboot my phone. Every game run so smooth and I don't need to change to hard gaming mode in ram manager pro.
Any suggestion ?
ps. Sorry for my english
Because your system is probably using more ram in the middle of the day, after a reboot your system uses alot less & slowly increases, you should uninstall unused apps & close unwanted services & maybe use Advanced Task Killer (From The Play Store)

I had tried advance task killer to kill any task that show on screen. But the result is the same, the game (Fifa12) is still laging so much. Cannot be compared with its performance when reboot.
why on earth still people hold on to Task Killers when tons of reliable articles already prove they are useless and do more harm than good? oh good god
Android booster. Frees ram, actually freezes apps not kills them, saves battery. The problem is your ram is being used up. Easy fix though!
Uninstall the task killer if you are using one and let Android manage the apps on your phone by itself.

V6 Supercharger settings ?
Hi,
First thread I read so far where people are mentioning they use V6Supercharger on XPeria Play.
I have a question :
Do you use V6 Supercharger on the stock 2.3.4 Sony-Ericsson ROM or are you applying it on a custom ROM ?
If on the stock ROM, what settings are you putting in ?
I ask before I tried to apply V6 Supercharger on my R800i under Stock SE ROM without success.
Frozen boot screen of death...
Had to recover through ClockWorkMod. Thanks ClockWorkMod !
Thanks for your feedback !
Hi there,
As nobody answered my call so far, I come back to give feedback on my own experience.
I tried again to install the V6Supercharger Script and manage to get through this time.
The first time, I guess I simply did not wait enough time.
In fact, I had to wait like almost 10 minutes on the Sony-Ericson XPeria logo (after the boot animation) before my phone came back to life.
It can be quite stressful !
After that, I went through the pin code entry screen and found out some of my widgets did not properly load and some applications were not showing up.
Therefore, I rebooted and everything went fine on the second time. All the apps showed up properly (only mixed up in the scrolling app section).
Launching the script again, it confirmed my phone was 100% supercharged with the following settings :
- DieHard launcher
- Rock&Roll Kernel
- Miscellaneous tweaks and 3G enhancement installed
- 512HP setting with V6 CustOOMizer option
- Minfrees set at 8, 12, 40, 47, 55 and 62MB
with 367MB of Ram (is this correct for the XPlay ?).
This was applied on the Sony Ericsson stock ROM 2.3.4 and the stock Kernel.
The first impression was that the scrolling between various home displays was faster.
I started Dead Trigger, running correctly (maybe just a bit slower, not sure) and when I exited the game, I had almost no Redraw time to wait.
Before V6 Supercharger, I used to wait around 5 seconds before all the icons were there again and I could scroll.
This time, the icons were right there and the scrolling hesitated for maybe 1 second but got super smooth again right after that.
Ok, this is to share my experience with you, guys.
No idea if anyone has experience on the XPlay ? Maybe using other settings ?
As there is a clear note that this script is not intended for heavy gamers, it tends to indicate it should not be really used on the XPlay, mainly used by heavy gamers.
What is your opinion on that ?
Cheers,
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.

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.
Hi I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader (CM9 RC2 with included FXP kernel). Now I'm wondering if there's any other tweaks I can do, I've heard some people talk about superchargeV6? and SmartassV2? They're suppose to improve RAM from what I understand? When I was on android 2.3.3 games and emulators ran pretty smooth, on CM9 (ICS) they're not too bad but I've noticed a bit more lag from time to time. I'm wondering if one of those RAM enhancers would help in my case. Also, are they safe? I haven't overclocked my CPU because I heard it decreases the over all lifespan of your device. I currently have 306MB of free memory on my phones internal memory ( I still have a few apps to move over btw ) and my RAM is at 177MB free. IDK if there's anything I can do to boost internal memory but surely the RAM can be improved correct? And lastly are there any files or folders on my phones internal memory I don't need? I've noticed a slight change when using Androzip (file manager) on 2.3.3 it went from "/" to "/sdcard". Now it goes from "/" to "/mnt" to "/mnt/sdcard" why is this? Is this ok?? Just some small change I noticed ( perhaps this happened when my bootloader got unlocked? ) If someone could answer these questions and guide me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

V6Supercharger is a script-based application that changes some settings in your phone, some of which tell Android how to pick which apps stay running and when to kill other services. Very useful and has just been updated to work better with Jellybean, if that's of any interest to anyone (other than me, that is).
smartassV2 is a cpu governor, and depending on which kernel you're using (FXP, Mjolnir, LuPuS), you may or may not have this option. smartassv2 is just one of the many options available, but the cpu governor doesn't affect your ram at all, it just affects how quickly or slowly your cpu will speed up and slow down, and when it decides that it needs to change speed.
As far as overclocking, yes, if you keep your phone clocked too high, it could damage your phone. However, given the lifespan of current phones (with newer, better ones released every few months), it's not likely that you'll cause drastic, irreparable damage to your phone should you overclock to, say, 1.1 or 1.2GHz. You could even use an app like SetCPU where the max speed can be changed based on what app is running, what time of day, certain activities you do, etc. Overclocking is just like anything else: All good things in moderation.

smartassV2 is a cpu governor, and depending on which kernel you're using (FXP, Mjolnir, LuPuS), you may or may not have this option. smartassv2 is just one of the many options available, but the cpu governor doesn't affect your ram at all, it just affects how quickly or slowly your cpu will speed up and slow down, and when it decides that it needs to change speed.
As far as overclocking, yes, if you keep your phone clocked too high, it could damage your phone. However, given the lifespan of current phones (with newer, better ones released every few months), it's not likely that you'll cause drastic, irreparable damage to your phone should you overclock to, say, 1.1 or 1.2GHz. You could even use an app like SetCPU where the max speed can be changed based on what app is running, what time of day, certain activities you do, etc. Overclocking is just like anything else: All good things in moderation.

So given my situation, what specifically would you do to tweak the phones performance?
-Thanks
V6 supercharger is always nice. Beyond that, I don't know, I've been running ics or jellybean for a while now, I'm used to low ram.

Will V6 supercharge increase my RAM and help games and emulators run better?

The V6 Supercharger script just tries to use RAM more efficiently. It loads more things into RAM and prioritizes processes such as the launcher above less important processes. Most people experience more fluidity in the UI, mostly when switching tasks or returning to the home screen. Some people claim it helps gaming, though I've not experienced that. I suppose the more apps you have running, the more noticeable the effects will be

so is it worth installing? or perhaps another rom. I'm looking for an even balance between features, internal memory, ram etc. Just an over all better experience : /
Hello to everyone, i have installed a custom rom for my Xperia Play with Locked Bootloader, the Custom Rom is NXT 1.3 and its performance in games was excellent newly installed, but when i started to install my apps or restore my apps the performance felt. So i thought that was ocurred cause was filling up the internal memory, so I put most of the applications on the SD card and some go to the ROM, but the performance doesn't improve as well, i read and a i have try different things like install Ram Manager Pro to free more RAM in games, to Use Task killer for Tasks in Ejecution and i dont see an considerable change in its performance. So Can i do for play more smooth?
The another thing is the NXT 1.3 have Busybox and support for scripts Init.d but i try to use an option for swap but maybe my stock kernel dont support it and another option for max size aplication's data in Ram Manager Pro ask me for busybox as if i didnt installed it, and i don't know why.
Thank yo
PD: Sorry for my poor English cause my native language is Spanish. XD
you need to overclock your rom.
here is the link for download No-frills CPU Control (i use this one): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wOSwiaXQuc2luZW8uYW5kcm9pZC5ub0ZyaWxsc0NQVSJd
After download that overclock it to: Max - 1,709 Ghz | Min - 249 Mhz | Governor - smartassV2 | I/Oscheduler - sio
Bullsh*t with overclocking. My phone runs smooth in the games with 800-900 MHz. Just flash lupus gb kernel...

i use doomlord kernel.
A Question
But if i have locked bootloader and by that stock kernel i cant to overclock cause i cant change kernel. is there another option for improve the game experience with the NXT 1.3 Rom or another???
I know this might not help but could you tell me how good heavy 3d gaming was when you first installed the ROM. Did you play games like GTA:VC/GTA 3/Modern Combat 3/4 / Batman Dark Knight Rises etc without NO LAG or with minimal lag? Im on dixperia 2 and out of the 3 ROMs ive been on, its provided me with the good performance although it does slightly lag when doing heavy 3d gaming...
Nxt Light 1.3
I was experiencing the same issue. I am using the light version of the custom ROM, and it was blazing fast upon installation. Now that all of my games are installed, it is slightly slower than it was before, not very noticable though. If it helps, before playing a game, I use Es Task Manager to clear up about 200mb of memory so more is available for the games. My bootloader is locked as well. I wish there was a stable ICS on the Xperia Play. The ICS user interface, in my opinion, is much smoother than gingerbread.
Well i played games as Nova 3, Modern Combat 3, Pes 2012, Fifa 12, Asphalt 7 and i felt the rom really smooth but later when i had all my apps restored and time after working with the rom, definitely the was slower than rom newsly installed, now i have lag in all games :S. I have Advance task killer installed and when i'm going to play i free memory with the task killer, i used chainfire with Qualcomm and i free cache memory, but i never have 200 Mb free only when i reboot. Cause the services are restarted and the Ram memory is fill up really fast and i dont know why and what i can do :S
Dont use any task killer!!! This has been discuss throughout XDA in any android dev. All custom rom hav init.d support & they hav thier own set of minfrees'. Using task killer/manager will conflict with all the roms' tweak. Capish!!!

Many task managers are there just to run ads, they can eat up your battery, the programs will try to load in the free ram, it will kill it and over and over.
Install LBE (in my signature), it have the feature to prevent user and system programs from autostarting, although there might be other lighter apps that does this. Leave the ram management to android, just clear the ram before you launch a game.
You could try and watch what programs use up the most ram and see if you can replace it worth lighter apps. Launchers and widgets tends to, especially weather ones. I use holo launcher with light widgets only.

The Task killer i used only for free ram before i play, or maybe can you tell me how can i do for boost my gamming experience on NXT rom in my XP with locked bootloader. Thank you people for your support!

Thank you, can you tell me what apps can i use for improve the gamming experience in XP or maybe boost the XP with NXT rom cause i have almost 20 apps and i have 100 mb free on Internal Memory, the Rom Memory with 35 Mb free, but the RAM fill up fast and i only use the defalult launcher of NXT Rom with Static Theme and a few widgets like Timescape, Photos/Videos, Searchbox and Music. But i feel the rom less smooth than newlsy installed, Thank you for answering!!!
Dont do anything. Just use it as is. If it gets laggy, reboot, wipe cache/dalvik-cache. Solve. Custom rom hav init.d support. That alone is enough to giv u the perf u need. Any other ram management app will only eat ur intrnal mem & ram at the same time. Just find some init.d & build.prop tweak all over XDA. Its impossible to "NOT" find any. Cheerio.

Another question my friend what app can i used for cache/dalvik cache (For no reboot all time XD) and i can't use swapping on Stock Kernel? cause i cant in my XP with NXT ROM with locked bootloader. Thank you!!!
U can use swap if u need'em. As for cache/dalvik-cache, there's an init.d tweak for it. U just gotta find it. I think dixperia 2 hav'em. Did u tried that rom before?? If dont, mybe u should giv it a try. If not try finding them tweaks.

I've tried to install a swapper but when i verify if it is running on memory use the swap space are in 0 like if i didnt install the swapper or if it isn't running, what can i do? The another question is this:
I found a tweaks collection and i want to try that but i dont know if that could generate conflict with the tweaks of the NXT ROM have with it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456777
Somebody said games are better installed in internal memory than SD Card, that is right? by the way what configuration or tweaks or apps you used for games like Nova 3, Asphalt 7 or Street Fighter IV? Thank you for answering!!!!
Remember i have locked bootloader and by that stock kernel :S.

So nothing can i do? :S. And if i put apps in Rom Memory (Rom's Space) will generate lag or no? Cause i thought in the posibility to move the apps in SD Car and Rom Space for more space on internal memory....
