My DHD is like 2 months old and I admit that it has lots of apps on it. it started to lag and I found out that turning the usb debugging on solved the problem and everything is smooth and fine but after I root it with visionary v14 it started to lag badly in sometimes and it will never return normal unless I restart and I never turn fast boot on. So then I used ADW launcher. It reduces the lag but not that much. Then at last after reading forums I found out that flashing buzz kernel is one solution so I tried it and it succeed to reach up to 1.5Ghz and solves the lag problem. Everyone in the forum said that it runs really smoothly and has no problem but for my phone, after 2 days, it freezes and restart and then just now when I was charging, it started to freeze and one way to get out of it is to pull out the battery. What is wrong with my DHD? it seems that I have one of the slowest DHD it scored only 1700 on quadrant standard at 1Ghz. please help me...
thanks in advance
anyone can help me?
Try installing osmonitor or any task manager, try to look at each process, identify which ones are busy using the cpu..
Alternatively, try turning off auto-sync..
Ive installed all of them and my auto-sync is off. when I open my osmonitor, everything is 0% except the os monitor and the android system...
thx for the reply though

Forgot to mention, i read somewhere that the sd card can sometimes cause lags.. i dunno.. for me, i had it last time when i use stock sense.. turning usb debugging on reduces the lag, but it still there.. now i just use cm7, smooth as a butter..

it could be the undervolt in the buzz kernel that's causing the instability and reboots .... it did for me btw i have over 500 apps on my phone and it runs fine (apart from sence fc'ing if i try to use my phione too soon after boot) lol

Hmm, disadvantages? I've seen almost none apart from certain apps not gingerbread friendly, eg: need for speed shift.. Other than that, it's just a plain new android system, and not clutter over fancy ui such as sense.
You can try reading the step-by-step tutorial in the android developement thread. There are currently 3 (i guess) different compilation of cm7, but still the same none the less..
I love the one in my signature, u can try to check it out.. happy flashing..

ummm... 1 more thing is there any way that I can return back once im in CM7?
hi all
I finally decided to give some new life to my HTC Desire, rooted it, S-OFFed it as well and after long search for most suitable ROM for me, flashed Cool Droid v3 Bravo on it.
ROM looks great and works fine, but it has only one big issue (so far) - I cannot turn on data roaming, it is turned off by default and tweaked to stay that way. As a noob, obviously I cannot post this question in specific thread about that ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279016 so I have to ask here:
is there any fix for it, an advice or procedure how to change the script (I figured out that it's just a line in build.prop file but it doesn't allows me to change it). I'm not scared to tinker with it as long as it's not too complicated and makes sense.
I need it because I live in Europe, travel a lot and I use national roaming very often.
Please if anyone can help me, because this issue is a dealbreaker for me with this ROM and I'd hate that.
Thanks in advance
PS: the screenshot shows how the setting stays no matter what option I choose
Install a rom that hasnt got a lot of Verizon stuff in it.
I would, if I can find fast, stable and reliable ROM, based on GB and preferably with Sense on it.
I'm not into flashing new ROM every few days and trying out every custom ROM out there, I just need my phone to work well within its capabilities as I travel a lot and use it for work.
I guess that this data roaming issue shouldn't be too complicated to solve, it's a piece of cake for every developer...

well, I flashed this rom and been testing it last few days. It has pretty much all that I need but I find it quite heavy on my device. Too many times it slows down, lags and freezes, especially when running games and apps that need syncing. Also, quite a lot FCs. Battery drain is also significant.
I'm not sure where exactly the problem is, it just gets stuck with black screen and only notification bar is visible.
Any advice where to look at? Might it be kernel, radio or CPU issue?
thanks
A tip for ya when flashing that rom. When u first install it from recovery and reboot, when it boots past bootanimation and gets to the lockring.... Leave it settle for 15-20 mins, dont unlock. Then after 15-20 mins unlock then reboot. Then no force close, sounds mad but its true. U could try a different kernal, Droidzone has a few good 1s for sense 3.5 roms and also in settings/RCMix tweaks, u can fix permissions there, try that, it sometimes fixes force close. Im using Aurora v6 special edition, its android 2.3.5 and sense 3 and not 1 problem so far, great rom infact. Saying that, Runnymede aio s.e is my personal favourite sense 3.5 and never had any problems with it, but letting it settle for 15-20 mins is a must.
About the radio.... What do u have? Lastest is recommended.

I followed that flashing procedure pretty much, I was gentle and easy going right after flashing it, not rushing anything, left it to settle (maybe not 20 mins) and rebooted it again. Actually, FCs are not such a big issue like freezing. Usually 1fc comes on 5 freezes. My radio is 5.11.05.27, I haven't touched it since rooting the phone with Revolutionary. I kinda hesitate to flash it, I don't want to brick my device because I'm not sure about the right procedure.
As my name says, I'm just an ordinary noob, not too experienced with all this.
thanks
Did u do a full wipe before flashing.

I did a full wipe, formatting and partitioning SD card from the scratch (fat32 partition included), 4ext is 1GB... I did all following developer's recommended procedure step by step. SD card is brand new SanDisk 8 GB, class 6.
It works well after reboot, but after a while, as soon as several apps are opened, it lags and hangs heavily, making the phone unusable.
I'm not sure does it matter, but I moved all movable apps to "phone storage", except those that have widgets that I use. Yet, the phone still freezes even when using non-movable apps.
I'd flash it again right now but I get messed up contacts list every time because not all my contacts are on google and I have 1000+ in total, so after every restore I get many duplicates and triplicates, so I'd really like a solution that doesn't include another flashing.
Here is a better tip. Don't use sense 3+ if you want reliability. I recommend cool bravo s, but change the kernel.

So your telling me that you have no fcs, no lags, especially when receiving a call, no battery drains? Do you use your phone? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I really want to know, because every sense 3+ rom I had wasn't 100%. Which rom are you using right now?

I'd like to stick with this rom.. I do have lags but not when receiving a call, that's why I suppose that I just have to do some detailed tweaking and that's where I need help as I'm not experienced with it. FCs are actually not so bad, pretty much the same as I had them on my stock froyo so I can live with that. Battery drain is there though, but I've been using the phone intensively since flashing RM AIO, trying to set it up.
Can maybe someone post here proper radio/kernel/CPU settings please?
My device is amoled version, with 5.11.05.27 radio and 2.6.35.10 [email protected] #11 kernel
CPU settings are untouched after flashing the rom, so they are "default".
thanks

DOING THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARANTY! ONLY DO THIS IS YOU'VE ALREADEY VOIDED IT OR CAN'T TAKE YOUR PHONE TO HTC'S SERVICE
This isn't a 100% chance fix - but its the best I could do against that problem. I've gone from a 3 minute BSOD to a 3 day clean HTC One X.
After searching a lot trying to fix my phone I've reached the conclusion that this may be a voltage abnormality. Try following these steps in order to get it working.
What I've done:
Root and install CWM on your phone
Install JB's port to HOX (you may use this guide)
Repack ncx 1.29's kernel (THE ONE WITH 414Mhz GPU!) to JB port using this tool
Install the kernel
By now it should be a lot better, but some may still experience flickering or even our BSODS. If so, try downloading System Tuner from the market and play a little bit with the voltages (using the +25/-25mA buttons). Don't set them too high.
Man, I think I have the same problem with the screen as you. What is your progress?
Could you please explain the suggested solution in more detail. I have already
1) unlocked the bootloader through htcdev;
2) installed CWM;
3) installed SuperSU;
After that I tried to solve the BSOD issue by flashing the ARHD 9.7.2 custom rom, but it has the same kernel version as my updated stock one, i.e. 2.6.39.4. And it still gives me a hard time. I have also noticed it is a voltage issue, because when charging there is no BSOD at all.
I like HTC Sense and would like to keep it. Is there a way to solve the BSOD issue alongside with keeping HTC sense?
Thank you in advance for you help.
Many Thanks
Thanks bro, 24 hours now with out BSOD. took me whole night to figure out what you wanted me to do as i am a novice in rooting in fact did it for the first time . had to increase the voltage +50 to make the phone stable. if i want to increase more how high can i go???
i sent my phone to htc last month and they returned the phone unfixed (sent a letter with it saying part no longer available) but with two additional problem. ear piece speaker stopped working and vibrator noise got funny. i think they opened the phone and didn't closed it properly.
I think I have managed to replicate the procedure. The only difference that I made is that I used ARHD 9.7.2. ROM, and not the JB port. The distortions and BSODs became less frequent, but are still there. I increased the voltage by 75 and turned off GPU rendering. Will see how this turns out.
What is the highest possible increase or decrease in voltage?
I used to get BSODs because of faux kernel :/ I think the OCed gpu doesn't work on my hox.
The link of the ncx kernel is worng, it leads to the jb installation guide... can someone give me the correct link plz.
thx

Any news for your HOX.
I got the same problem. I unlocked the phone, so not covered by warranty, hv to repair it by myself.
And if youve got the BSOD just how had you suppose to do all that when you cant see any thing ?
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.

Hello guys,
First i want to apologize for my bad english. I hope you can understand some of my words
My problem : i really like my note 2 and i had a s3 before, but sometimes my phone ist really laggy.
I tried everything and it is still not smooth. The animation when i open an app or closing by pressing the homebutton is not always, but often laggy.
This is really annoying , because i tested the note 2 in the shop and it feels really smooth.
First my phone runs smooth at all, but after a month it starts to lag. After a fullwipe and custom rom and kernel the problem is still there. I tried over 40 roms and with every Kernel. Can you help me to solve my problem and make my phone smooth as the nexus 4 or galaxy nexus?
Best regards from germany

Hi,
I must say that if you've tried multiple roms and kernels, and wiping it every time, then it must be a hardware fault. I have only flashed my device once, it's stock, and it's very smooth almost every since moment of every single day. This device is VERY powerful. It shouldn't lag, especially not after a recent format. Is it possible you've killed something in it by accident? Dropped it? Kicked it? Liquid in it? Something short-circuiting?
It just seems strange that a newly formatted device would lag. Have you tried stock?

Hi, this is a warning. My Note 2 started to become laggy just before it suddenly died from Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS)
A Note 2 is one of the most powerful devices on the market and it SHOULD NOT LAG UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES and mine never did, until the week it died.

Everything is working well and i never dropped my phone. I don't think, that this is a hardware fault because i had these lags with my S3 too. And most of my friends have a s3 too and i can see these laggs too. I am searching for a mod or app, which makes my Phone smoother. I've tried seeder, no different.
But thank you for your answer!
I have checked my chip with the app emmc brick bug check and it says that i got the sane chip with no sudden death. I should be safe.
Try rubbing some butter on your phone, that should make it smooth!
Or you could go Aosp.

I have both an S3 in my house and a Note 2 (my personal device), what are you doing and I can tell you if I'm getting any lag doing something. Because the S3 doesn't lag too much. Its only fault in my opinion is the lack for the extra gig of ram, but to do every day activities + gaming, it's a great device. The Note 2 hasn't lagged on me yet :s. I mean, come on! 4 cores and 2 gb of ram.
So, let us know what you're doing and how to reproduce the lag and I'd be more than happy to check it out with you. But I seriously think there is something wrong with your device if it lags on EVERY rom and EVERY kernel. That shouldn't happen.
Gaming, scrolle through the homescreens are very smooth. But when i open an app and press the homebutton, then the animation is very laggy. Most of the time my note is smooth , but only the animation while opening and closing apps is very laggy.
Yes i tried aosp and it is perfectly smooth, but the Touchwiz features and the s pen are the main reason, why i bought this phone. So i want to keep my Touchwiz Features but make my system more smooth.
Hello
I would recommend you to try this, I've been using this setup for a while now and it's the smoothest experience I've had with the phone yet, install stock ROM through ODIN, with the galaxy note 2 toolkit from this forum do the root plus custom recovery plus busy box plus rename option, freeze whatever Samsung apps you don't use, i will try to attach a screen shot to show you which ones I froze, install a custom kernel like perseus, red pill, or others, I prefer these two, and in the GPU tab change the minimum frequency to 260mhz, the maximum to 640, check set on boot, install greenify from the play store and check all the apps that you don't want running all the time and the reboot and check the performance after a couple days of use, please report back if i helped in any way.
Just one more screen shot
Idk if this will help but try it
Took me 15 min yo find the post
The problem was flashed s3 ROM then went back to note 2 ROM and phone became so laggy..
The solution was:
Flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003240
via odin (pda) aswell as the .pit file.
for some reason this was the only rom that cleared up all my issues.
I take no credit for this as this was another users find..
Hope it helps .. Give it a shot

Yes, I've read of people with an s3 flashing note 2 firmwares and people with a note 2 flashing s3 firmwares too, the main problem was lag and the only solution was to flash a full firmware that corresponded to the device, interesting, did any of us help you at all?
Thanks a lot guys!
I tried to freeze all the apps i don't need, with the result, that it laggs less now. Thanks
But ut it is still lagging sometimes. It is possible to make it smooth like the nexus4 without flashing a aosp rom?
More tipps?

As I said in my previous post.. There might be some system errors going on.. Flashing with odin the firmware from my previous post here hopefully can fix most of errors..
I had horrible lag and system not saving after restart.. Now it's all ok and everything is on

I installed the Sentinel rom for the note 2 which has been super smooth. Compiled with the Linaro compiler and it runs quicker than I've ever seen an android phone run. Only issue (as with all cm10 roms) is the lack of spen functionality but I think it's worth the sacrifice.

Ok. I flashed my Phone with odin and have done a fullwipw in the stock recovery. All ist fine and smooth, but the Animation is still a bit laggy. After flashing my custom rom, the phone ist still the same like before flashing and with stock rom.
Does anyone knows about a mod or something like that which boost my Phone?

OK try this ..
Flash a custom kernel.. Perseus is the best.
Force System to render on GPU .. Comes with ROMs like phoenix and ARHD..
Overclock GPU (to around 733 MHz) and CPU (make sure you lower the voltage for 1700 and 1800 MHz)
This should make your phone smooth since it put less power on CPU and put it on GPU which you don't use it a lot.. And GPU makes graphics run better..

Ok. I flashed ARHD and then Redpill Kernel. Set the max. GPU frequenz to 733mhz and then reboot. After reboot it feels the same . It has the same laggs while starting or closing apps. It is not always, but often.
I think it is Touchwiz that slows my quadcore beast down. But i don't want aosp because i use my s pen a lot and the other features too. Is there a way to keep my touchwiz features and a smooth rom?
Flashing another devices rom has its consequences. Worst case is wipe and start over. Have you tried Tweakbox?
