First, can you make your title more clearer...Like EI22 rotation lag?
And second, try the calibration again. I haven't seen mention of this yet, but if more users show up with it then I am sure someone will make a lag fix on it.

Well I'll throw my vote in on this... I have lag and hor. cal. doesn't do it.

Have you tried doing the horizontal calibration with the screen upside down? That used to fix my rotation lags on froyo. Something about using it with the screen facing up always made it lag instead of fixing it.. If that don't work u might have to try using terminal emulator and see if that helps.

See Gingerbread Horizontal Calibration and these posts: my calibration question and jbadboy2007's response and jt1134's rebuttal.
The short story is that there is no known calibration method for GB, whether on a stock-based ROM or AOSP, such as CM7.
* Note: jt1134 is one of the CM7 devs, therefore I feel pretty confident he knows what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure jbadboy2007 is experienced as well.

Did you experience lag on froyo at all or is this a new thing?

I don't know if you're addressing the OP or me (probably OP), but I'll go ahead and tell ya I had rotation lag with a couple of different Froyo ROM flashes.
using the /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha I was always able to minimize the lag, though if I had a number of different home screens filled with apps it would still lag a bit more than a virgin ROM flash (not unexpected).
The "new thing" is that now there is no known fix for rotation lag*, which sucks.
* At least with CM7. The sensorcalibutil_yamaha fix may still work with stock-based ROMs in GB, I've just never tried any GB except for CM7.

I tried the /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha cmd with terminal emulator. Says the cmd is not found :-(

Bringing this thread back I guess, instead of making a new one. I'm having a big issue with 2-3 second rotation lag. Tried the upside down horizontal calibration and no go. Just throwing my hat in the ring in hopes that someone will find a fix.

There was a thread opened for the issue.
Refer to the link below.
Hope it helps!

From the original thread:
* For other GB ROMs the fix should be basically the same, though I would recommend using the framework.jar from that specific ROM. (Maybe other, more experienced devs would like to shed some light on this topic? Would this framework.jar or flashable .zip be safe to try with other GB ROMs?)
So it may be usable...

Bumping this. Rotation lag is the most annoying issue with GB thus far

It might work it will break some things though, and he said the fix should be the same, meaning what he did should be the same to fix lag on other ROMs. Which it is.

Bumping this again. Praying that someone can make a fix for this issue. It is plaguing my experience. Otherwise it is outstanding. I repeatedly tried the upside down calibration and it has not worked.

The framework.jar from my rom has the fix. Take that file and then calibrate on a flat surface.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

That's weird, I'm actually on your V4 ROM now. I could possibly reflash. Or I guess I could just drop that file over the old one, that's prob easier. Or maybe time to upgrade to V5 huh. Thanks for the response.
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------
Ok so, wow. I dropped the same framework.jar I already had over the old one, and the calibration tool in settings> display works. Very weird. But someone should mark this as solved in case it needs to be done separate from flashing a ROM.

CM9 power drainer vs. ICS LEAK

Has anybody else noticed that CM9 has horrible battery life compared to the flash able ics by hono? Kinda weird. Is there a reason for it?
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA

It's the other way around for me...ics leak and hono ics had horrible battery life, had to recharge about every 4 or 5 hrs. Back to running CM9 and I'm at 68% from full charge after 9hrs. I like that CM9 let's you change between 4g/3g/2g. I keep edge on at work which saves a substantial amount of power then I switch to 3g/hsdpa+ when I'm ready to use data. I hated that I couldn't do that with the ics leaks

What I did today is in "developer options" pur "force GPU rendering" on and in "Performance" checked "surface dithering" off. Didn't tested for long but hope it helps
Indeed, why we could possibly needed "dithering improves image quality om some displays @ the cost of performance" when we have best display on the market? and we force our CPU to make antialyasing and drain power for no reason

No, when it jumps out at 4% it boots ics, when it gets done booting ics the percentage jumps to 90%. After it slowly counts to 100% then it claims to be done, with the phone still running ics...

I also find that I get substantially better battery life with the ICS leak as compared to CM9. Hopefully when LG releases ICS source code we will get better battery life on CM9 .

Is installing Swype beta for ICS leak possible?
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and have just upgraded my LG nitro HD to the ICS leak successfully. :good:
I installed swype beta without problems, but when I want to use swype I can't seem to select swype as my chosen keyboard.
I've tried two things:
1. In "language and input" under settings, the android keyboard and the lg keyboard are ticked and greyed out and i can't untick them.
2. When long clicking in a text field, there is no option for me to choose between keyboards.
I would appreciate any help on getting swype to work properly on the ICS leak.
cheers

I had a lot of issues with Swype and the leak. The easy part was selecting Swype. Anytime your keyboard comes up in ICS, a notification pops up in your notification bar. Use that to switch keyboards.
My problem was finding a version of Swype that worked correctly in ICS at high resolution. Google "Swype_beta.ics_v3.26.92.38303_0.apk" for the version that worked best for me. Sometimes I still had to rotate it to landscape then back to portrait for it to display correctly.

Hit the "Edit" button in the notification bar, and then hit the little icon in the top right corner that looks like a check mark with three horizontal lines in the screen that comes up.. You can add and remove a whole slew of different toggles. It's stupidly designed and not documented at all, but it's definitely there.

Hi JINXR, thanks a lot for your fast reply and for solving my problem.
I tried your first suggestion and looked at the notification pop up in the notification bar. I was then able to easily switch between keyboards.
Thanks a lot, love my swype
P.s. For everyone else having trouble installing the swype beta version
I've installed and working successfully version 1.0.3.5809 which, I think, is a fairly recent version (June 2012)
The process that I followed to get working swype was
go to the swype beta homepage with your phone browser (I was not allowed to post an external link as a new forum user, sorry)
create a swype account (with your email account that you use on your phone)
download the swype installer and install it on your phone (allow foreign applications in settings, if prompted)
open the swype installer and, when prompted, log in with your swype account details to download and install the latest version of swype
after successful install, enable swype by ticking the swype box under language & input settings
that should successfully install swype on your LG Nitro HD with the ICS leak
to switch to the swype keyboard when writing a message just do as JINXR suggests

[Q&A][FAQ][Support][Discussion] CSROM and Graviton

CSROM & Graviton Support and Discussion Thread
This thread was created in response to a new xda initiative to reduce non-development related posts on development threads.
An added benefit of a thread here is that users with under 10 posts can get some help (and won't have to PM me).
I will maintain just one thread (hopefully this works) for both ROMs and all carriers to help preserve my sanity.
Please be sure to specify which ROM you are using and the carrier.
Below are some examples of common types of posts and where they belong
Q&A and FAQ Thread:
"What kernel gives the best battery life with this ROM?"
"Is Nova launcher compatible with this ROM?"
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!"
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!"
"I just flashed this ROM and my GPS doesn't work. :crying:"
Development Thread:
"The new cellular data toggle isn't working (confirmed by another user)?"
"I keep getting FC's from SystemUI. Any thoughts?"
"I selected the green battery icons in Aroma but it installed the blues ones (I checked twice)."
"I just flashed this ROM and it bricked my device! "
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
**********************************************
There are exceptions to the examples above. If you are using a port and your GPS doesn't work I need to know that.
It will probably take some time for threads like this to evolve, so I am definitely open to feedback.
**********************************************​

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I change the lockscreen wallpaper to a pic in my gallery?
A: You must use the Samsung gallery.
Q: Why won't the circle widget work with the TW launcher?
A: The circle widget currently only works with the RAZR M launcher.
Q: The AOSP lockscreen keeps freezing. What's up with that?
A: All lockscreen options must be unchecked when using the AOSP lockscreen.
Q: Why does my phone keep freezing up when I use Light Flow?
A: Light Flow seems to be incompatible with the AOSP lockscreen. I don't recommend using the two together.
Q: Why doesn't Wifi Direct work?
A: I don't know.
Q: Where can I find all the stock apps you removed?
A: The DR App Machine.
Q: My GPS isn't working. Any suggestions?
A: Link1, Link2, Link3, Link4, Link5, Link6.

Hey guys,
ATT CSROM v1.4 GS3 - Love the ROM so far, once I got a lot of my apps and data restored and a few issues with that worked out.
Kind of a newb to customs roms. This is the first one I have put on my GS3.
As far as I can tell I am using the CS launcher and would like to the change the wallpaper on my lock screen. However when I bring up the selection screen it only give me the option to use the stock wallpapers.
Can I just move an image to the stock location and have it appear? Or is there another option?

Yeah, it get's tough sometimes. That is why guys like you and the other people that test for me are a huge help. You guys make my life a lot easier by helping out on the threads.
It won't be long before I stop supporting the Atrix. I just don't have the time and I don't use the device anymore.
There is also a pretty good chance I will close up shop for my Sprint and T-Mobile ports for this device. There is not much interest for my ROMs in either forum. Probably not a bad thing since that will lighten my workload.

I am wondering if this thread would be better in the general section. That way it can be Q&A, FAQ, and general discussion. But, like I said in the OP, this is a new concept to we will have to see how it evolves.

If you want to use anything other than a stock wallpaper for the lockscreen you need to have the Samsung gallery installed. The AOSP gallery is not compatible with the lockscreen for pics, or other images on your device.

Can more than one galleries coexists? If so, do I just select another one gallery in the Aroma installer and deselect all other options?
Im still kinda fuzzy on the modify/upgrade process within the installer.

Yes they can Co exist. I can't remember how many there are in aroma but you can download as many as you want. I have three not including quickpic

Just a mention,
I installed Light Flow Lite yesterday and toyed around with it. Long story short it broke the AOSP lock screen. By broke I mean any time I would put my phone into sleep then wake it up and interact with any function of the lock screen it would become unresponsive and reboot (fast reboot I think).
I was finally able to get out of it by bringing the notification window down and getting into settings. Disabled the lock screen and the device was fine. Uninstalled Light Flow and wiped the data with TB, but the lock screen is still broken. Haven't tried the touchwiz lock screen for fear of it being broken too.
Aside from that the batt life is amazing and everything works wonderfully. Even got another gallery installed via Aroma and can change the lock screen wallpaper (not that im using a lock screen right now).

Judman
Based on what I have read on this apps web site it wasn't meant for an aosp rom. That sounds like a matter of app not being compatible with the rom so I would say not the roms fault.
Glad you were able to get things back to normal.

You are the second or third user that had this happen. I will add a warning to the OP.
If I remember correctly, Light Flow works fine with the stock lockscreen. But you might want to wait until someone that actually uses it chimes in.

Stock 4.1.2 (MF1) - What's changed / observations

After a clean ODIN install, some comments on the new MF1:
PROS
+ Multi-window support - works as you'd expect... not sure how useful it will be
+ AllShare Cast toggle added - I actually use ASC so this is useful to me
+ Fixed the bug where waking the phone using the home key would return to the launcher (when using no lockscreen and s-voice disabled)
Neutral
> New gallery UI
> New free-form drawing/painting app
> Group Play now a separate app
Cons
- Maybe just me, but noticeably more UI stutter than the last 4.1.1 (LK4)... curious if others notice this

Buttery smooth on mine. Display still reads LTE on Sasktel.
Largest change for me is findmymobile works now. It wasn't working for me on 4.1.1

I'm on Rogers and it still shows LTE.
Everything is quite smooth so far.
It seems to me the camera is a little snappier than before. Just an illusion or someone else is feeling the same?

Haven't done it myself yet I would guess that CF-root through odin is the way to go. Or mobile odin pro.

Maybe only Bell switched to 4G naming.
New camera scene mode added: "best face". Though it doesn't seem to work all that well IMHO.
And after starting over with another clean install, the animations throughout the OS still seem less smooth than the last 4.1.1. Oh well - back to LK4 for me.

Updated my phone today to 4.1.2 , and phone isnt charging for some odd reason, anyone have any ideas ?, phone runs great, nice and smooth but just drains without charging

If you flash the telus firmware you will get the 4g logo instead of the lte logo, this has nothing to do with to carrier.

I see you posting in just about any 4.1.2 thread there is and it's been said all over the place : if you're on AT&T and you want to flash a canadian version ROM, then you have to either not flash the modem using Mobile Odin or else, flash the LK3 modem from your old AT&T 4.1.1 ROM afterwards using CWM or TWRP.
Please read carefully before attempting to flash anything on your phone.
Especially if you're not familiar with the process.

Looks good... took quite a bit of reboots for the multi window thing to start working though?

I've been trying but cannot get it to work..
Someone on page 11 of the Casual thread has same problem as me but noone answered him...
It goes to DL screen but casual just sits at installing drivers for ever...
What version of it di you use?

It seems that people have a hard time rooting phones.
I root mine in 2 easy steps.
Step 1 = Flash CWM Recovery via Odin onto phone.
Step 2 = Flash a custom zip file that installs Superuser onto the system/apps.
That is it. Very easy.

If you flash the telus firmware you will get the 4g logo instead of the lte logo, this has nothing to do with to carrier.

I flashed the Telus firmware and get the LTE logo when on LTE. When I'm on 3G/HSDPA the 4G logo comes up. This is normal for Telus.

+ Fixed the bug where waking the phone using the home key would return to the launcher (when using no lockscreen and s-voice disabled) About time... this was super annoying
Camera is definitely snappier
I don't notice any lag with UI here.
Overall everything seems fine. It'll be nicer when the devs apply their tweaks and mods.

Agreed that's always how I have done it i the past too. Since my last rot, CASUAL was developed, so I thought I'd try it out and found it very basic and easy and with less steps than the root through Odin that noobies sometimes find harder, hence my earlier reply. Now of course if CASUAL causes issues and hangs, Odin flash always works as you suggest.

Gallery changed
I noticed the gallery is different. I kinda like it, except the pics from my external micro SDHC card doesn't show up in there anymore. Is there any way to change that? I haven't figure it out yet...
Thanks!
Nevermind, I backed up all the pictures. Formatted the card, and reloaded it back onto the memory card and it worked after.

[KJT] [My Device] About my Device...

Hello!
My name is KJT (on the net) and I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII t999. When it came to me it had stock 4.0.4 Android. First thing I did was Root/CWM recovery it so that I could Wi-Fi Tether and have a custom recovery.. I found nothing wrong with the phone and it did everything I needed it to and more! At the time I wasn't willing to customize my firmware because I didn't really care.. Two(almost 3) years passed by and so much has changed in the modding community. So I checked on faster ROM's for my device and found so many to pick from! I didn't know what to pick.. I tried a couple of ROM's, but I found myself going back to SlimKat 4.4.2.build.3-OFFICAL-3061 and WOW was I surprised at how the look and feel made my phone like new again.. I now say to my friends that I upgraded my S3 into the S4.. Not really, but its "like" I did, with a software update. Heheh..
Anyways back to my device.. After updating to SlimKat I found some things a little weird with my phone, but nothing I couldn't figure out (except one thing that I will get into a little later). There was a couple things screwy with it and I had to research for a couple of days to find the answers. After fixing the small issues I wanted to fix the CPU issues and why it would throttle when I played a game longer then 5mins.. I found the option and disabled it, but it seemed to drain my battery way faster with it off. I then looked at new kernels for my phone and what would work good for battery and for performance. I found KTweaker and realized that installing SlimKat changed my model number to Samsung-SGH-I747. So I installed the Kernal (3.4.82-cyanogenmod-g9a7e2a6 [email protected] #1 Sun Mar 9 16:16:31 MST 2014). It seemed to work really well, but I see the LED blinking Blue on bootup(and stay blinking) every time I restart my phone now after installing this Kernal. So I tricked the LED to turn off by using Light Manager's test notification option. Once I turn on test and then shut screen off, the LED turns to the color I was testing in Light Manager and the LED turns off.. So that is the trick, but if there is anyone that can help me understand or fix the Blue LED that stays blinking after boot up, I would really appreciate it. I have no other apps that control notifications, and I have tried turning off all LED options, but nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do is trick the LED..
So after that, I decided I would try and find another Kernel/Tweaks, but after flashing Xtweak it seems to be running a bit smoother. I am stuck no with only one issue and that is the Blue LED flashing at boot and staying on until I trick it. KTweak app (Not XTweak) that is listed in the menu had some crazy OC settings and profiles. Now I think I am set with my CPU issues. I played my game Order and Chaos Online(GAME PLAY) for 4 hours yesterday with no lag and the CPU never throttled.
So my only problem is the Blue LED at boot.. I hope to figure it out and I will report back if I find the solution. Thanks for reading.

::UPDATE:: March 01-06, 2014...
------------------------------------------
First off the LED blue light has been fixed with a format of the internal memory and flashing a new rom. I believe the problem was with Slimkat ROM and Ktoons kernel on build 3.
I have SlimKat Build 4 now after some internal data lose(system/data/cache and most of my personal data from the last month... lol). I recommend not trying to fix your phone at 3:am and tired.. I had a back up from last month, but I know I lost a lot of other stuff I can't remember, but I think it was a good thing, because my phone is now running faster and with a lot more space on the internal hdd. So I guess I did a system restore with updating to Build 4. I am really enjoying build 4 and haven't come across any problems. I have not installed KToons kernel yet, but he has updated it and I will try it out when I have more time. I will update later. Thanks for reading..

If you don't need led
Go to
Settings→Display→Light Options→Notification Led
And disable it.

I do need the notifications turned on, but when ever I restart my phone the blue LED light(top left cover on face of device) continues to stay pulsing way past boot. I use to see it only pulse a few times at boot and then it would stop and load the OS. It only started happening right after I flashed the KToon kernel. I love the kernel and it make my device so much better then it was before with the SlimKat kernel.
I also have tried many different steps to stop the pulse at start up, but only found that if I trick it and put on another LED notification, then it stops after I make it change to the other notification.. Its almost like it gets stuck on the notification for boot up. I uninstalled all apps and also reformatted.. I was thinking of another kernel install, but have not found a better kernel(even with this issue) then KToons..

Thank you and I will speak to him/her.
Question for you.. Do you know of any other kernels that might be better or the same as KToons? If you don't know thats cool.. Thanks for the replies!

I had the stock for over 2 years and wanted something new.. More performance and battery life. This kernel has done that with the KTweak settings I have.

EDIT: What I really want is what this kernel is giving me, its just the led problems I need to solve... lol

I will try that app out and see what its about..
This rom is for both Category: d2att-d2tmo, but when it installed it said that now I am an d2att with I747 model.. When it came to me in the box it had 4.0.4 and was t999 model. After installing the Category: d2att-d2tmo rom it changed my phones specs..

Yup, i've been flashing on Galaxy's since the S2. After the S2, Samsung released identical hardware for all carriers, including the international edition. The only software you had to worry about is recoveries, Baseband, and if on T Mobile, the TW version if you wanted Wifi calling.

My wireless calling works fine and I am on T-Mobile network. So I guess I did everything correct.. lol
Still trying to figure out the Blue LED at boot....

UPDATE!!!
Ok, so I found out that it was the Ktoons kernel that was giving the notification Blue LED at start and wouldn't go away. I guess it was set to notify at start, but then never turned off. This is now fixed because of a flash to the new build 4 of slimkat.
So the issues that I was having before with the LED was only because of the kernel I flashed on a slimkat rom. It worked great, but had the LED issue.
::UPDATE::
Ok, now to talk about my new updated build 4 slimkat device.
