[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.

Yup, EVERYTIME I turned on my screen then unlocked it to laggggggg for a lil while. I'm now using CM9 n that issues gone. Try CM9

To prevent the lagg after unlock, I set the governor to ondemand and the minimum frequency to 312.

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.

Tweaks & questions

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.
-Thanks

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.

So given my situation, what specifically would you do to tweak the phones performance?

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.

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 : /

Touchscreen priority in ICS

Hello guys!
I have Xperia arc(LT15i) running modded .587, running on Lupus v10 kernel at 364-1612Mhz, ondemand, sio, with the kernel memory enhancements written on unit.d.(+ disabled cpu rendering and several other unit.d scripts).
Recently i downloaded CSR Racing, just to try it. The problem is that the game is RAM and CPU hungry. The gpu handles smoothly the game, but when the cpu is overloaded, the game continues to run, but the touchscreen is irresponsible for a moment(the problem accures at most of the time, but not always). I tried performance governer with several other schedulers but the difference is bearly visible.
My opinion is that the touchscreen suffers of insufficient priority. Is there any way of having this fixed?

It's not a matter of touchscreen priority, the game takes up a lot of memory so although it runs smoothly, the touch input will lag.

Try with flashing Adreno v.3 drivers - they will make the phone more responsive in every way with nearly to zero UI lagginess!

Thanks for the response! I've flashed them more than 4-5 months ago(instantly when they were out)
EDIT: I want to flash 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. I looked some JB roms and they were told to be very performance friendly... the only thing which prevents me flashing are the JB kernels which are with disabled 720p support.

Better with flashing an custom ICS ROM that you can mod so it act and looks like an JB ROM - it will give you 720p support without any quality drawbacks!

This.
Overclocking -> CPU heats up -> Heat affects nearby parts -> In worse case, your phone parts get damaged (meltdown!)
Don't do it.

Usually i do not play games, and when required for a moment, when running on 1.6Ghz max i have instant response. My phone doesn't get warm, except when charging and playing heavy game or browsing the net via 3G(from which i stay away from)
Thanks for the warning, as i know the silicon melts at more than 130-140C, which i think are hardly possible. Since a long time i've developed for myself a way of holding my phone while having usage with intense processing. Add that i observe my battery and the temperature was never beyond 40-43C while charging and heavy usage.
And thanks a lot for the responses connected with my phone I'll take a note

[Q] Kernel for overclocking Arc S to 2 GHZ on CM 10.

My Arc S lags on CM10 and I dont wanna uninstall most apps cause I use them a lot.
Available kernels only overclock to 1.6 GHZ
The only kernel Ive seen reaching these heights is doomlords but its only for the stock roms.
Which kernel would do this?

Overclocking does not give you any performance boost.
And I strongly recommend to not overclock to such frequency, you might brick your device very easily. Permanently.

I didn’t realize that overclocking doesn’t provide any performance boost in Hell, but here on Earth it most certainly does, as I’ve had experience doing so from the early 90’s till today. You should limit the overclock on the Arc S to a maximum of 1.6GHz though because anything higher may lead to accelerated electromigration and shorten the lifespan of the processor, possibly drastically. Individual CPU’s may only hit 1.5 GHz reliably, others 1.7 Ghz. Also, Android is designed to use whatever memory it can, so lots of free memory is not particularly a good thing. But freezing, hibernating or Greenifying apps that aren’t needed all the time will let the system use what memory is then free more efficiently, leading to a better user experience. And I always have at least 7 widgets running, but they really do slow it down.

Same old advice:
- off mobile data when not in use.
- reduce brightness if too bright.
- turn off when not in use etc
- kill the process when not using app(Greenify) and remove recent apps (hold down home button and clear all the apps there)

how do I make temple run 2 run lagfree?

I have been using Omega Rom from version 8 up to version 18, then switched to ProBam, then Pacman, and now I'm back on Omega 19, giving the "official" 4.3 a shot.
I have tried many many settings and kernels to get this game run without a lag.
So far, I have seen no lag when using performance governor while playing for a few minutes (no overclocking the CPU or GPU) that was it...
Every other setup gives lag, more or less. The second best setup would be pegasusq governor, not much changes when overclocking CPU or GPU, or both.
Using a stock kernel is also not bad, but lags every now and then. (not dependant on Rom)
But I want to get the sound settings from trickster mod for example, so I feel like I need a custom kernel with my Rom of choice.
So, does anyone have a good setup that matches performance governor, but does not stick permanently to maximum CPU load?
I don't care about battery life, so I need a good performing setup.
(Just on a side note: when people say "there is no lag at all when scrolling through my homescreens" then I can only think that this should be normal with ANY setup. And I never had any lag while scrolling through my homescreens, except while I was using my HTC Hero...)
I would very much appreciate if someone with the same goal could help me out, or someone knows the default settings of the stock kernel...
Or is this whole idea just utopic, because the game is badly coded?
