[Q] Screen flickers when it wake up from sleep

This is stock ROM.
Every time I flash bacon bits to overclock my phone I always noticed that my screen flickers when I turn off the phone's screen or press the button to wake up.
Sometimes it just gets stuck and it stats flickering like crazy and I can't unlock my phone because of it.
This only happens when I OC my phone. When I wipe the phone it works fine but no OC which is what I want.
Any way to fix this issue?

I don't use Bacon Bits, but I have experienced the flickering you speak of. It seems that happen when you go too far with the OC process. What happens if you were to lower your clockspeed a bit? Does it continue to happen for you?

Actually I OC my phone, but it's still set on 806MHz so even at lower clockspeed it still flickers. It's bugging the hell out of me.

EDIT:
Switched over to pershoot's kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847672 I can now overclock to 1.5 gHz with no problems anywhere. Aweseome.
I have this same problem and am bumping this thread.
I'm running stock rom with bacon bits v 0.3 - and my screen flickers when turning off so much that it won't turn off fully and opens the lock screen. I have to just try and try repeatedly to get it to work.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, I have flashed all the kernels even pershoot's and it still flickers. I'm using the original ROM that came with the phone not the original one posted on the forums. Maybe if I use the one posted on the forums that will work?

I have the stock rom as well - I first flashed baconbits kernel, but when that flickered, I flashed pershoots most recent kernel in recovery. No flickering anymore - sorry to say I don't know what's wrong. Try posting in the thread of the kernel you are currently running!

Well you know what I flashed an older version of pershoot mayeb I should try the newer one. I'll let you know what happens...

I had trouble flashing it with ROM Manager. Clockworkmod it. Here's the link to pershoots blog with the latest update links: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/

Pershoot is always monitoring it along with a bunch of other smart devs. Maybe they'll have a better idea - don't give up hope!

what app are you guys using to manage your OC?
if it's setCPU, set your scaling to Interactive on the main screen and in any profiles you're using.
also, if you are using any screen on/off animations, disable them (just to see, for troubleshooting purposes, if that might be the culprit)

Yeah, it's set on Interactive and so are the profiles. As for the screen on and off animation I believe that's in the CM7 RC1 ROM. I'm using the stock ROM so there's no option for that.

hehe, didn't even read what rom you were using. my bad.
kernels aside, it is very possible, as you mentioned earlier, that you guys got the chips in the stash that don't take to overclocking very well. even on a device like the G2/DZ that seems to take to higher clock speeds relatively easily, there are bound to be some that aren't as happy with the increased workload.
if I think of any other bright ideas, I'll let you know. I haven't played with baconbits a lot.

[Q] Does anyone else's A100 slow down

Does any one else's a100 become super laggy after a few minutes of being on.. I am running the latest flex reaper I even overclock it all the way but I get this huge lag after the first few minutes of being on.. anyone else experience this or have a fix for this?

I do not experience this issue. When you flashed the rom, did you do a clean install? Have you formatting the device?

Yup.. I format everything.. I use the touch recovery and just use every option that it provides and wipe everything.. It even does it when there is nothing installed. I usually delete almost all the useless system apps that I don't use like the google music app and all of the ones civato provides... I even change the animation settings to .5 in the developer section.. should I turn them off all together?

The animations should not have anything to do with it. Does this only occur on that rom? Have you tried other roms and experienced that issue?

not many other roms out there.. I have used stock and his.. had the same issue on both.. Also happens on my brother's a500.. it usually happens when unlocking and going into any app.. it sits there for a few seconds and then opens whatever it is i opened

This is starting to sound like a hardware issue. Before that is concluded, you could:
- Make sure the governor is not set to "conservative"
- Try a clean install of CM9
If the problem still arises, its most likely a hardware issue.

I'm using the OC kernel and have it to 1500.. I also always leave it on performance.. I figure it would kill my battery life but I don't use it much.. and i tried cm9 also.. too many issues as of right now

It doesn't seem it can be anything else but a hardware issue in that case.
NB. Overclocking to a high frequency can cause instability and bring about that issue (but since you experienced it on the stock rom, its quite likely not to be that).

the overclocking helps to speed it up a tad bit.. for the most part it just lags.. i did a clean install just now

Thought I would jump in. Stock ics would slow down and lag on me, jittery transitions poor performance in games or movies, but it took an hour not a few minutes. However testing the T20 kernel before the release kernel had that exact issue, bogging and lagging within minutes.
His release kernel doesnt do it, and flex extreme as well as my cm9 builds don't, even with T20 kernel. Consider flashing that kernel to see what happens.
Side note...what issues did you have with cm9? And what release? My build 1 has been running for 3 days no reboots stable as can be undervolted and OC when needed. Something to maybe think to try to see if it persists. T20 kernel works fine with it too.

That reminds me...setting a screen off profile with the same min/Max speed can cause issues with that, give Max a notch or two higher. And don't have it change the governor leave it the same. So like interactive screen on Myst nit be conservative screen off, doesn't work that way.

I had the same issue on stock. I noticed there are 2 weather applications installed (version 1 and version 2) immediately after I disabled the old weather application (version 1) this stopped happening. I used the ICS GUI to do the disable.
This might not be the case in custom rom, but is true for stock. Post reply and let me know if this fixed it for you also.

Do you have a micro SD card plugged in? Try reformatting the card with a computer. Worked for me.

I felt the need to add my two cents in this....this has been happening to me for the longest with the flex reaper rom ONLY. I've used stock and ZN's rom and those did not lag after unlock...only flex reaper. I'm currently using flex reaper and still experience it from time to time but doesn't destroy my day at all...

Give the CM9 nightly ROM's a go. No Bluetooth n no HDMI audio, but everything else is fine n damn smooth. Those issues will be fixed though

I installed Flex 100 Reaper with stock and it it seemed to run smooth enough. Then I installed the OC kernal, and started to get lag. I was looking around to find the OC settings, but can't see it anywhere in settings..
Can anyone direct me to where can I adjust the governor/max/min CPU settings?
Sorry for the noob question.

franco kernel sluggish or phone damaged?

Hi all,
Today I installed CWM and flashed franco's kernel for JB (the newest one). At first it seemed pretty fast so I was happy. I decided to install setcpu and set it to max 1,8 ghz with set on boot enabled (I know it was stupid, but I did not realize it at the time). After rebooting the phone froze and a purple layer appeared on top of my screen. Seconds later my phone rebooted. I set setcpu on 1,2 ghz max and let it stresstest for a couple of minutes. No errors were found. But now my phone lags sometimes, like if project butter just had disappeared and the normal android sluggishness has reappeared. Is this a kernelissue or did I damage my cpu with this stupid overclock? Btw, apart from the sluggishness in the animations I can run everything just fine.

I'm on Franco and have no problems. Why don't you try another kernel and let us know how it goes?

I understand people want to ask questions first, did you try to wipe and reflash?
At most I can probably assure you, you didn't damage your CPU.. there would probably be more dire issues if it was.
Did you flash a new kernel yet?

Not yet. Should I reflash franco or try another? Can I flash a new kernel over another kernel without wiping my whole device?

Yes, I've flashed 3-4 kernels on one ROM. You can dirty flash your ROM too or completely wipe and flash.
Either way its fine. I do suggest wiping and flashing though..

Setcpu is fine. In order to get stock, either use a new kernel or dirty flash.
Assuming.. if it was I'd guess the phone probably wouldn't be running?

You need to learn about what you're doing before you do it!

I flashed the trinity 1420-537 JB stable kernel, and everything works as smooth as it has to be. The strange thing is that it was a bit sluggish until I changed my wallpaper from a live to a normal one. Now I switched back and everything is still smooth :? . Anyway, does this kernel overclock the cpu itself or are the speeds in the name just the available range?

if I have such issues I will never flash an oc kernel to look if everthing is working. Install stock rom kernel back and try. If everything is fine......you can try an oc one.
On Trinity; first number is MAX CPU clock range you can chose and second number is fix GPU clock.....or just reading FAQ, Changelog etc. will answer your questions really quick

from what I've heard, some gnexs are really picky with roms and kernels. I guess your phone is one of them. I personally had problems with Trinity Kernel, since when I reboot, it sometimes bootloops for 5minutes and such. I personally had no problems with Franco though. In fact, I use Franco as my daily driver

Franco's app let's you easily tweak the settings (overclock, change governors, etc.) which may help the sluggishness. I almost exclusively run Franco and his M5 is amazing!

A reflash might be the best option ... either the ROM or Kernel or Both lol thats my inner crack flasher talkin'

Never had problems with franco. It's trinity's kernel that made problems for me.

I run Franco's kernel myself. Just have to be careful with flashing the nightlies, it can be hit or miss. They are experimental.

[Q] Any way to speed up CM 10.1 or is there a liter ROM of it?

EDIT: *lighter, forgot to check spelling. Lol
So my Evo 3D has finally called it quits and I have one month left till I leave Sprint so my friend gave me this phone that he doesn't use any more. For such an old phone I really can't complain about it, compared to my Evo 3D which runs CM 10.1 too it never crashes, always has GPS, 3G, 4G working fine and the battery lasts me all day. So I'm in love. But my one and only issue is it is extremely slow. And no I will not leave CM 10.1 as I use Google Now very often but if their are huge differences/opportunities for huge differences I'll go down as low as CM 10 or a different 4.0+ ROM.
So I was wondering is there a lite version of CM 10.1, recommended kernels that support both overclocking and undervolting, can someone explain how to make a swap partition on the SD card, and so on, just any ways to free up RAM, speed up the CPU/GPU, and lighten the load of the OS.

"Light version": do it yourself with a root-enabled explorer. Google and you'll know what system apps can be deleted.
OC&UV kernel: Nitest maybe.
Swap: IDK
Free up RAM and speed up: I personally use Autostarts and Advanced Task Killer (Pro), but Greenify seems easier to use. You get ~80MB free RAM after a clean install, but can get 190~220MB after heavily using these. I don't use gapps so YMMV.

I've already deleted every system app I'm comfortable removing using Root Uninstaller. After having everything I have to have installed on the phone, with as many apps set to not run in the background that I can and Greenify helping too, I tend to have 10-70MB of RAM free, it tends to be 15-35MB free though. I don't use task killers since all they do is play cat and mouse and waste battery, and tried a few auto start managers but can't really get into using it with how complicated they are. Right now the main thing I want to figure out is getting a swap partition up and running since that sounds the most promising with how little RAM this phone has.

Did a backup and switched to the nitest-0721 kernel and so far it's doing good. Disappointed the OC only goes up to 1.2GHz but it's better than nothing (don't understand kernels that limit how much you can OC when it's up to you to find how much your phone can OC), hopefully I can find a way to get it to go higher, and the "voodoo color" is weird but I can install a different version of the kernel to remove that if my eyes don't adjust first. Anyways... my free RAM now stays between 100-200MB, usually about 160MB, with 18% zRAM, purging of assets, and samepage merging enabled which is amazing. Apps are opening faster and don't stutter anywhere near as much as before, so I'm happy but will see how things go tonight when I go to work and am playing with it on and off, along with need to find a way to really overclock it.

Try going with one of didhiy's nitest kernels and maybe a different AOSP ROM, like AOKP, PAC, etc. Or try out SuperNexus even. That's an extremely lightweight ROM with no customization options (Its straight up stock Android, just like a brand new Nexus phone), but its fast and quite stable from what I remember.

Or find one of didhiy's nutest kernels, those have live oc, more free ram, and i believe it goes to 1.4 GHz. I'm not sure though. But it is less stable than nitest

Well I've run this kernel for a week or so now with the smartassv2 governor and min/max at 100/1200MHz. Zero reboots unless I'm playing Minecraft the entire phone locks up other than the button lights, no matter what I do it crashes sooner or later but oh well I'm bored of that game just wanted to see if it'd play on this phone. ANYWAYS I've heard of it being done before but can't find any info on how to do it, how can I overclock past what the kernel allows (1.2GHz), I've seen reports of this phone handling 1.5GHz and want to see if I can reach 1.4.

The frequency is still limited by the kernel...
1.5GHz is history (too unstable and hot so that devs stopped including it), and only Gingerbread/ICS custom ROMs can get that frequency via flashing corresponding Sanders/Shadow/Samurai kernels and overvolting as well, which is definitely not good.

I just seriously hate kernels that limit how high you can overclock instead of making OC options to unreachable levels letting you find your phones limits. People make kernels, roms, hacks, etc so we can get around limitations that the hardware vendors put up. So if we've managed to circumvent the manufacturers blocks why are the same people that got around them making their own blocks, they already put up silly warnings about anything you install/do could break your phone but if you're going to give that warning it needs to be true. Anyways ending my rant lol...
I know their has to be a way to edit a kernel or file to add more options since the kernel creators can't do the job themselves, it's just finding out what and where these files are. Can anyone inform me on this and give me details on how this whole system of controlling clock speed works so it can be modded?

[Q] Improving Performance?

Just curious if anyone else is getting extremely slow performance? I'm running CM10.1 and it is slow -- one of the last stable builds.
I've found that I can't have Hangouts + Facebook or Hangouts + Chrome open at the same time. It'll take ages to load something, so I end up having to force close everything pretty often. And my phone's battery is getting worse and worse in terms of performance
Have been debating what the cause could be. I have a TON of music on my external_sd -- wondering if maybe Android is constantly scanning it and it's slow/losing battery from that. The media scanning icon is not up, though. Could be the ROM? Have been debating dropping back to using a deodexed/debloated stock ROM. Wondering if maybe the battery is just naturally degrading -- I've had the phone for ALMOST one year. Wondering if it's the issue with just having 1GB of RAM on the device?
Any thoughts from anyone on improving performance? I would love to be able to go to work without having to charge the phone. I can go for about 8 hours at work (sometimes listening to music, sometimes not) and by the time I'm home, my phone is anywhere from 10-20%.

as I know media scan only runs after boot.
Most of android devices has less then 1 giga ram, I don think you need more. You can enable comcache. settings -> performance -> memory management -> zram , it needs kernel support.
zram compresses memory.
My 4.3 roms dont have zram support.
Factory reset always win. You should try latest cm10.2, I think 4.3 faster.

Zram and other improvements
Hello, good afternoon to all
First, sorry to revive an old post, but i can't post in dev zone.
I am currently improving the performance of my i927.
I installed the kernel "LiteKernel" (V4.0-20130113 ICS) but I have some doubts. For example, how I can enable zram? How I can make a small OC the GPU?
I would appreciate some more advice.
Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM UCLJ3 with LiteKernel ICS V4.0-20130113
Thanks a lot!

Try with trickster mod

Thanks a lot!
zRam activated and working, and see that GPU is on 400mHz always
But i was thinking in app like Android Tuner that can set a boot profile... because i have to enable zRam every boot
Any idea? any other improvement?
THANKS!
EDIT: Now i see the option that i can set a profile when boot with trickster mod!! thanks again!
