Why my phone is slow while instlling/updating apps? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is this normal?
Phone during app installs is slower than turtle.
I think I have noticed that in a few ROMs. I mostly use franco kernel if it does matter.
Thanks!

huh...if you're installing/updating a lot of apps at the same time, or even one big app, of course the device is going to "get slower", it's using CPU to the max to install faster.
Code:
adb shell top
allows you to see process cpu usage in rt.

It's normal - when "installing..." phase is visible in Play Store, moving in UI stutters indeed. You notice this mainly with bigger apps.

It's meant to be funny.
And yes I am good enough at IT and stuff to understand about background process priorities. And seems that app installing is a high priority process which is not right in my understanding.

I have no idea why updating an app should use so much of the phones resources as to slow it down. I don't recall if this used to happen to me while on stock jb but on cna with franco kernel its very noticeable. I believe this is a problem that should be solved.

Best way to save battery!!!!

So ive been using this app called system tuner pro to set up my phone to power save mood and its been almost 2 days without charging my phone!

Its different wen you keep texting people. Im wondering have you ever texted the whole day with it. To see if the same battery life would occur?
I use my phone all the time!

I just have my phone tu run slow and it would not use that much battery... Try it and you will see

Just a heads up... when running the powersave governor, you're forcing your CPU tonrun at the minimum. So in fact your CPU doesn't run above 384mhz. I am sure that its pretty laggy. Also the device itself will force cpu1 offline when not needed.

Based on what I have learned from reading and personal experiences, I would say that there is no "one-size-fit-all" for the best way to save battery. My wife and I have the same devices (T989), and I have both of theme tweaked different; different roms, kernels, etc.
Even though these devices are "identical", the set up I have on my device saves me lots of batter; I can go anywhere between 18 to 48 hours depending on usage and other factors. Same set up on my wife's phone wasn't as effective. However, the way I have her phone teaked, works best for her but not for me.
I would say that it really all depends on how you use your phone, settings, tweaks, widgets, sync, etc.
Please everyone enough with negativity! In my opinion using profiles for ocing and ucing in addition to juice defender is the way to go
I use OC/UV Beater on BM 5.1 ROM.
Keep your phone in your pocket lol

4.1.2 smoothness..?

Hi All,
I have been using 4.1.2 few days now, and I'm really confused. This is not as smooth as expected. Launcher jerks quite often, not much but much more than in 4.1.1. Am I only one with this issue or do someone have similar experience..?

There were very few changes to the launcher in 4.1.2. Most dealt with orientation on larger screens (like the Nexus 7). So I don't see how it would be any less or more smooth than 4.1.1. Most likely, the user didn't do a clean install or they are just noticing small lags more because they are looking for it.

Cannot agree more. :good:
Maybe it's just a placebo effect but I think autorotation (landscape to portrait and vice versa) animation seems more fluid here than on 4.1.1 which I considered little jittery.
Thank you everyone. I am sure this jerks more than 4.1.1 in my device.. But if it works normally for everyone else then the problem has to be in my device/installation. Installation should be clean (done according installation script). One thing I'm wondering is Google Wallet. I downloaded image with wallet, but it does not seem to be enabled in my region. But neither that should cause jerking..?
You probably need to flash 4.1.2 drivers update. Check this:

Ok, thanks ! I have to try monitor apps if some of them causes lag (high cpu usage or something). If lag continues then I think reflashing might do the job.. Seems to be unique issue so something going on with my device.

ASOP roms may not have them, but should be included in stock.
Do a nandroid backup, flash and test. It is a very very small file to flash. It helped me with AOKP (AOSP).
Before flashing over 4.1.2, I flashed over a 4.1.1 and .... I think a got some additional smoothness, but .... as there is not accurate procedure to measure smoothness, could be only my sensation.
EDIT: 124 user apps running smooth with AOKP

Lags

Hey. After I flash a new rom, the phone is super quick and respones very well. Buy after a few days, it starts to get laggy. When I am presaing the soft keys it takes a couple of seconds to respond, apps loading times can reach about 20 seconds, contacts loading too. I am using the GSM Gnex with CNA 3.8 rom and franco kernel r298. The lags occurred with XenonHD too. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining about the developers, I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

Are you rebooting your phone or just leaving it on for weeks at a time?
I remember someone saying it has to do with the zram optimizations in roms and kernels. at first it makes things faster and the the idea implemented is good in theory but over time it makes things unbearably slow. i dont know the technical reasons for this, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it.

Obviously downloading from the Play Store is using system resources (RAM, a % of the processor etc.) so a slow down is to be expected.
The phone restarting itself =/= to rebooting it regularly. Just like your computer you shouldn't leave it running 24/7. Sometimes you just need to give your phone a restart.
I think the lags are related to the heatcof the Gnex. Maybe the my cheap case makes it worse. I will check without case so it have more contact with the air. I will report the results.

It looks almost like a memory leak. (That was a big problem on exynos devices runing cm10). It happened to me today (latest nightly cm10), Once my free ram was less than 100 mb the phone became noticeably less responsive.
Sane here!!! Thought it was just me... lol. I was running black bean baked! I love it but became super laggy! Almost threw it across my room lol. But just clashed slim bean and hope its bad ROM coding :-/.

I understand that custom roms do have great features but let me tell you something, after I switched from the S3 I decided not to flash any rom, I just used the nexus toolkit to root it and of course install franco kernel, since then the experience has been amazing, I'm just very careful with the apps I install, cheers!

I've experienced the same on about every JB setup I've tried. A reboot tends to purge assets and get me truckin' again for several days though.

Yup u are right. Many people used to tell that Franco kernel is the best and stuff but even that after using for a few days gets slow whereas in stock all that crap doesn't happen. I still use Franco because games work smoother on it compared to stock. Even the battery life is inconsistent. Just try stock after weeks and Franco right after a reboot still stock will be overall faster and smoother.

Yeah, that the point. I want to change the screen color settings... Franco's kernel allows you to do that.
I am going to change to team EOS rom and check it for a few days. If I have problems with that one I am going back to stock rom.

Galaxy Nexus lags hard, ROM/KERNEL doesn't help.

Topic says it all. Stock/CM/Carbon(Linaro)/DU's/pacman/codefire, it doesn't matter which one is installed, my device lags like a *****. I switched to nova launcher from apex (to see if the launcher was causing it all,) and the homescreen scrolls better, but opening apps, doing anything within apps, switching apps and anything not related to the launcher still lags like crazy. I've tried LagFix, different kernels, nothing works. I close apps using the recent apps tab, doesn't help. My GS2 performs leaps and bounds better than this phone. Am I missing something. Is there anything I can do to make this phone not suck? I really want to like the phone. I have the Sprint version.

Running some side by side comparison's with my GS2 and GN using system panel, the GS2 always has over 200MB ram available, and the GN has 80 or less. I tried to make sure the same apps were opened (active) on each phone.
That sounds like a factory reset including format system is needed.

I was on 4.2.2. I never read any complaints about lag, or about it being a bad version...anywhere. Would have got off of it sooner if that were the case.
I upgraded to 4.3 with a factory reset. Not any lag issues at all. 4.3 actually seemed to have made android run more efficiently on my Gnex.

The whole lot of us whined about it on xda, g+, twitter etc
Funny thing is i full wiped and flashed back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2 and the phone was still lagging. Didn't think it was possible but 4.3 really fixed this phone for me. was battling the lag for over a year. Lagfix trim, filling all the free space and deleting all the files, tried everything that was recommended and nothing helped. Thank you google for finally releasing 4.3
the only lag from 4.3 comes from when I use google navigation. It gets bogged down pretty bad. I think that has to do with the undeniable fact that 1gb of ram is not going to cut it anymore with today's memory consumption from modern apps.
4.3 has brought a host of new problems for me. Lagging and force closes plus a lot of app problems. Enough so that I'm shopping for a new phone which sucks because I love the Gnex.
4.2.1
Android 4.2.1 was the last OTA that android released to my GNex. I put the Warped ROM on, and it was a lagfest, especially when I had all 10gb of my music on it. I had to wipe and reset to 4.2.1 before I could even put on another ROM without it freezing during startup.

It seems to me like one of the big bottlenecks in the Galaxy Nexus's performance is the abysmal I/O performance.
If anything whatsoever pings the storage, it seems to stall the device. I've had the phone lock up entirely requiring a battery pull by doing enough read/write, something I can't do to older and newer phones I own. Just the Galaxy Nexus.
TRIM in 4.3 helps mitigate it, but I think the fact is something is seriously awful in the Galaxy Nexus I/O stack, presumably on the hardware level, since this is the only device I own that has this issue.
My 4.3 install was acting up (data issues... :\) so I went back to stock 4.2.1 with golden kernel. Phone is running pretty smooth. Seems like the fastboot factory reset did the trick so far. Funny thing about it, I just now realized I flashed the 4.3 kernel. Phone is running really well, so uhh, whatever haha.

As far as I saw in and out of the thread, the vast "improvement" is largely limited to benchmarks... Using the patch, I managed to get my Photon Q (dual-core MSM8960 + 1GB RAM) to score 19404 in AnTuTu (typically it scores ~16500), which almost beats that of a stock Nexus 4. However, since the phone doesn't lag originally, I can't see any improvement in day-to-day usage.

It's hard to say if it's smoother than before, but it certainly feels smooth with it.
Not exactly sure what it does. It's not an AppSpy, like Samsung, where it bumps up the freq when it detects an app (such as quadrant).
