Issues with Scrolling

Hey Guys,
New to GNex community..
I was using SGS2 and switched to GNex just yesterday.. quite happy with it..
I have observed that the Page/App scrolling on ICS is not as fast as it was on Gingerbread, especially in Applications like Facebook and few others..
Is this an issue with ICS or is it that the Apps are still not properly compatible with ICS.
any fix or workaround for this ?

Developer options force gpu acceleration

I think if you force gpu it fixes it. I don't even have a nexus so I really don't know for sure. Also its actually an apo thing, once gb apps are updated for ics, the problem will be fixed.

u mean to enable Force GPU rendering ?
will give that a try...

personally i dont find force gpu fixes scrolling for me, it actually makes scrolling worse mostly. Those choppy apps still just need updates i think to ICS like facebook. Perfect example is twitter. It scrolled very choppy and just finally got updated and now smooth like the stock apps.

Twitter was always laggy for me, until I turned on "Force GPU Rendering". Yes the new update fixed it so we don't need to enable this but still.

Same here. This and battery life are the two most debated "problems" with this device. From what I understand 4.0.3/4 are much better in this regard.

[Q] Gameboid lag on ICS

So I recently unlocked my bootloader and have been trying various roms; however, whenever I try an ICS rom, I always experience framerate lag on gameboid (with sound on). FPSE and N64oid seem to run at full speed. I've have tried overclocking as well, but I still experience the same lag. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this, or should I just go back to GB?

Frame skip to 0.

Thanks, I tried that and the video lag is gone, but now the audio seems very glitchy and jumpy. Is that supposed to happen?

I've noticed this as well, but haven't put any thought into it being caused by ICS. I'll play with some settings and see what I can find out.

Setting frameskip to automatic mode & 1, fixes audio lag for me and doesn't seem to affect video

B*tch please, Gameboid can't even start a game on FXP116 CM9! Please tell me what rom are you using
Anyways setting frameskip to 0 or sometimes even automatic often fixes "emulator lag" in every device that can run one (PC, PSP, etc.), at least for me.

The framerate is fixable with the frame skip, but the sound will always experience that distortion. The better your CPU and RAM, the better the sound is processed, but overall it's difficult to get rid of the sound problems.
I use a Galaxy S 4g and I still get those sound issues.

That's funny, because FXP has only released 115 CM9 for the Play so far. Expect 116 later today, though, unless you compiled one yourself.

Well the sound works perfectly fine on CM7, but on CM9 it gets very glitchy. I'm assuming it's because how much of a ram hog ICS is.

WRONG! Stock official ICS isn't actually a ram hog or battery hog, but other unofficial builds for some phone models are. For example, CM9 experiences battery drain and consumes half of the ram for Sony Xperia devices and others while it does not for some other phones, then there's the official Sony ICS beta for the Xperia devices built separately for each one, which runs smooth, and has its own problems, like broken wifi indicator.
tl;dr: If you are going to blame someone, it's the ones who built CM9 for your device, not Google, AOSP or your carrier.

But in general, ICS is more resource intensive than GB will ever be, so even stock ICS (IMO) probably wouldn't run as efficiently as say CM7. (I might be talking out my ass, but this is the conclusion I've come to from user experience)
Edit: Also, my gameboid games are starting fine on CM9

This is what I did to fix the problem.. Turn your data connection off and the emulator will run a lot smoother

cm9 AOKP a joke ?

All the effort i see invested in CM9-CM10_AOKP with as mayor problem that all the memory gets consumed so that only few applications can run ????
I ask myself why !!!
Tried out CM9/CM10/OAKP(franklin)) and installed a2sdx and int2ext4+ .... just to be able to get some applications running
Not only is the thing getting horribly slow and very buggy it is in fact completely unusable at this time.
Ex standard applications as Google play are completely failing ....
it is possible to download aps and install them manually but then you can not support it any more.....
These are NOT rom's for daily use. not in a long shot .
its back to good old Piethtz who took pride in finishing stuff untill it was WORKING AND STABLE.
Bugs in AOKP (franklin) just use it it fails and crashes
bugs in CM9 lagging like hell practicably impossible to use the keyboard
and do not tell me not to use a2sd functionality it's simply not worth it for 2 applications/not even for 30 ... then Stock roms are way better.
A long as that memory limitation problem is there android notebooks and phones are dead, not worth investing in not in 2012
If their architecture is such that this is killing the use we should abandon android architecture its mis concieved
this is not the quality of windows
this is not the quality of linux
this is not yet .....
if installing multiple applications use a simple symbolic or direct link is getting in so much trouble the real quality of the whole is not Good
with all respect for the work of ericas and ....
signing off

you should know there isnt an old windows phone or whatever that can run windows 8 via an unofficial way.
ics/jb is not made for our gio's, and so, it wont work as good as you want it to be. if you want that, buy a galaxy s3. they even give you a better screen and processor.
so stfu and live with it or get rich and buy high end smartphones.

Did you try link2sd?
By the way I've just installed this rom, and I think it's the first usable Android 4 for Gio.
Camera and camcorder working finally, everything's running stable and smooth (yet).
The only thing I haven't experienced yet is battery life. If it can take 1.5-2 days with average usage, it will pass my high standards that no other non-stock based rom have passed yet.
Oh, and after installing some basic apps(Skype, Maps, GMail, TC, etc...), I still have 108MB free on internal mem.
So no, it's not a joke, it's the best ROM out currently for Gio (a smooth camcorder like the TW Camera in stock would be good, but this is just a minor negative point if you take the features that ICS gives into consideration).
I say this after trying about 30 different ROM's in the past half year...

I'm sorry to ask you this: did you pay for his work? which makes you right for komplain about it?

installed a2sdx and int2ext4+ .... just to be able to get some applications running
this is your problem
two scripts that do the same thing
chose only one of them (i recomment cronmod int2ext+ if you want that kind of script, i use link2sd and link only the games)
and in developer settings choose force gpu rendering(for better battery aver all) and smartassv2 or interactive

Some bugs
Can someone please post this in the dev thread? I don't have 10 posts yet...
So far I've found these four bugs:
-(MINOR) Ringtones play only once if there's no ANDROID_LOOP=true OGG metatag in the sound file. By the metatag it seems rather a feature than a bug, but in 2.3.x roms it was not needed, and it can really troll new rom users. Please fix if possible, or write instructions (convert file to ogg and set the metatag, that's all but it needed me a lot of googling to find it)
-(MAJOR) Init.d settings (at rom settings) cause heavy load, and settings won't stay (su permission request accepted of course). It can't be enabled at all because of this.
-(MAJOR) Google Talk from gapps-ics-20120429 FC with "Need GTalk_SERVICE permission".
Tried first by just installing talk.apk (extracted from gapps) as system app, then by flashing the whole gapps zip, then with full wipe, rom reflash and flashing gapps immediately after rom flash, but no luck. Tried CWM fix permission too (no effect), but couldn't try rom init.d feature fix permissions due to the previous bug.
-(CRITICAL) If I go outside the signal area of a WIFI AP (without turning off wifi) and there's no other available connection (I don't have mobile net atm), the whole system crashes when an application tries to initiate a connection.
No response to:
-Touch
-Back softkey long set to kill
-Pwr hardkey, home hardkey
Only removing battery helps, however my live wp (phase beam, the one that's integrated in the rom) moves until that.
It happened two times:
-Wifi dropped due to signal loss, unlock phone, push browser icon, browser icon glows, crash
-Wifi dropped due to signal loss, unlock phone, open wifi settings (with wifi powerswitch longpress), select another ap to connect to, start to enter wpa passphrase, crash after typing 4 chars (some process in the background may have tried to initiate a connection meanwhile)
If you can't reproduce tell me and I'll try in USB Debug to get a logcat dump.
I still say this is the best ICS/JB rom out for Gio, but if you can fix these it'll be completely perfect

installing multiple a2ad.. methods one after the other gives similar errors that disappear when not installed. Up to no one published this serious memory handling BUG in the center of ics cm9/scm10/aokp biggest problem area.
problems in the center area need to be solved if people want to believe in any future for the Rom.
why invest time in any os if people are not assured the main problem lack of memory handling poses a risk of complete failure
that is the reason for the"is this a joke?"
the hard work of the developers is NOT assured questioned nor diminished
I refered to linux and windows as basic fundamental robustness as a base.
individual apps anoi one person.failure into the core make everything fail

you have crash on my rom? R u kidding me ? R u using any tweak? I use that for gaming/internet and music at same time and no crash, try reflashing rom, also cm is bigger than aokp, that's why cm9/cm10 are laggier, but with aokp jb or ics rom isnt crashing

In my opinion I find your AOKP to be the most efficient and stable ROM I have installed on my phone so far. The battery so far has lasted up to 2 days while I have been receiving calls and playing games and its only at 66%! I am loving your ROM. No crashes so far. Thanks for all your (and erikcas, jellaxy's) hard work.

No tweak. Some apps uninstalled from system (trebuchet, live wp's), and link2sd that's all. With link2sd Google Maps is on SD, maybe it's background service doesn't like it, apart from it there's nothing wrong I could've done.
CPU settings: clocks at stock, governor is SAv2.
About 1 crash / day. Newer crashes seemed unrelated to wifi signal drop.

Set higher minfree value

CPU Settings? Because mine lasts only one day, but I use phase beam live WP, so that could be the cause if you use similar settings as I.

You can use linke2sd on AOKP(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968537) it works for me.
And stop complaning in every thread. The developers are making their work for fun and most important for FREE.

Most of stock ROMs are laggy. GB/ICS

Like title say I have a problem with all stock based ROMs. Most of them are laggy in games and in launcher too (but in launcher is not that heavy). I have suspicious that is issue of my phone because people say that for them is ROM lagless. It's interesting because CM9 is nearly lagless but in all GB/ICS stock based ROMs i experince lags with/without overclock. Any ideas what's wrong with my phone?
Sorry for my bad english

Yes i have installed apps like Facebook etc. but i'm using greenify (on ICS of course). It's the app that freeze apps like facebook so no RAM eating from them. In GB is different but still with those apps i have about 180 MB RAM free. I deleted AdrenoBooster and performance is little bit better but not good. Mystery is that when i use CM9 based ROMs lags are gone.

Adreno booster is really great think but not for me. Yeah in some apps is really big performance boost but in others there's huge performance downgrade. So i think that for me is better living without AdrenoBooster

The best so far that I stuck on using is Xperia Nxt 1.3 by Kris dee. I've tried lots of ROM and I think this is the most stable yet beautiful. Flexible also because you can install facebook, timescape, twitter, battery widgets, maps, walkman, by your choice. Can't wait to the next update. I have lots of applications that I installed now but still no lag and still 110mb free on phone memory.

that's what i'm saying when i recommend a rom then it's nxt 1.3.
also for me it's the best, stable as stock, all the special features like quick panels and walkman in lockscreen, the "good" clock app from other sony phones (with timer and stop watch). it never let me down and the battery life in combination with the good old doomkernel seems also unbeatable.
used it over 6 months - then i tried a lot of other roms. now i'm back again.

Some custom ROMS are just for your eyes only. Just to tell your friends you got ICS or JB even your phone is 2011 model. The thing with those ROMS is they remove the Sony UI which is I believe the most professional looking UI on androids than Samsung/LG/Moto/Htc. Some ROMS will even remove the functionality of the gaming pad of the xperia play. We bought the PLAY for that reason. For "GAMING" ....

has anyone noticed any lag in newer roms?

Each ROM post 4.1.2 that I've used (4.2+) has been laggy to the point where its unusable. I am currently using TWA
Privs cm9 ICS. On the newer Roms I always wipe system,cache,dalvik cache, and data. I am just wondering why are
Newer Roms laggy?is there a workaround? (By laggy I mean browser randomly closing,taking a long time to do anything
And other things that brings my kindle to the point where its unusable) ( my kindle isn't my main device as I have
A nexus 7 2013 that I'm typing on right now but I need my kindle to be usuable) has anyone experienced this same
Stuff?

You're not alone in these issues. I've bounced from rom to rom looking for the one that compromises the least. Cm9 roms suffer from lack of deep sleep. Cm10 from browser crashes and lag.
Maybe 4.4 is the answer?
Also, the cm9 you referenced, does it deep sleep? I don't think I tried that one.

I have Jellybean 4.3.1 and it doesn't lag in mayor way. It only does when multitasking since it doesn't have so much RAM. I also use Greenify to check for background processes and I try to use low intensive apps. But I think that KitKat can solve many of this problems since it supports low RAM devices.

I doubt it has deep sleep but I haven't charged it in a few days and it wasn't full when I put it down and its still at 50 plus percent....keep in mind I know this just because I check it every few days (don't use it much) and its TWA privs cm9.

Yea. Can't wait till kitkat so I can finally move from cm9.also,I am even considering downgrading to cm7 but I'm not because no app support. Dang amazon only putting in 512mbs ram after 1 gig is standard in mobile devices.(512 wasn't enough for most things when ICS came out,amazon really cheaped out.
