Develop Bugs

Looking for FAST and STABLE rom (Defy+)

Currently I use MIUI (1.11.11), but it has a few bugs like WLAN is not reconnecting. The speed isn't that good, but MIUI looks better than most roms
I'm looking for a stable and fast ROM.
Perfect would be:
-Android 2.3 or higher
-NO big bugs
-720p recording enabled
-support for the bigger Defy+ battery
Any suggestions?

CM7 last stable?? Allredy stesting battery on it. No major bugs, stable and really fast, faster than MS2Gibger and stock 2.3.4. I had only one FC from yesterday when I installed it and it was Market when installed 62 apps at the same time.
Sent from Defy+ CM7 (7.1.0-11)

CM7 is fast and stable. But does it support HD video capture? I have installed MS2ginger2.1. Supports many languages. It is fast enough I think and supports HD video capture. Moreover, the battery life is amazing. There are some posts about it...

Looks like CM7 is gonna get installed. 720p is not that important (just nice to have).
Does it support the bigger battery or does it get stuck at 83%~ and won't charge anymore? MIUI (whis is based on CM) has this bug.

720p maybe gonna be supported in next CM7's and You need to patch battery support but didn't tried it yet. I'm using 1500 from old Defy cause I didn't format 1700 yet and still testing this build and it's still connected to pc.

Hey !
I'm also looking for a smooth & stable rom.
I don't need the last features.
Currently, I'm using CM-10-20131030-NIGHTLY. Which doesn't crash and so, but it's not smooth.
I didn't install any widget, and I got battery drains.
Any recommendation ?

Hi,
the OmniROM 4.4.2-20140202 is very smooth and stable.
Links are in the development thread.

Hi !
It's still under development it's it ? I'm a bit afraid of something that has not been tested and validated for a while.
I don't need the last version of Android. I just want something smooth and stable.

The last Android 4.4.2 (kitkat) is the fastest Android version for the Defy.
That's why I also recommend the OmniROM version and not the CM11 version. OmniROM runs with me stable and very fast for 1 month. If you want to take it try not the latest version take the 20140202 version.

Thanks for your suggestion.
As my phone (Nexus 5) will soon be back from repair, it didn't take the time to reinstall my phone.
But if I need to reinstall my defy, I will follow your advice.

CM7 not faster than CM11?
What about White Rabbit 1.7.1 or Maniac?

Been using this rom since yesterday, so far so good
UI seems a *little* bit laggy sometimes compared to the stock 2.3.6 GB rom, but so much more functionality in Omni.
What about battery life with Omni? Better than stock rom?

Highly recommend SlimKat, anny build you like. I'm running two defy+ on it, one on 3.85 build, other on latest 4,both very stable, didn't notice anny bug,no random reboots, no lag, memory & bat. friendly, amazing look... thanks to TJKV and all contributors on this GREAT ROM.:good: Just try it!

Im using slimkat too its really good except the camera doesnt work for me when i use it my phone reboots :/

I'm on SlimKat build 4.0 since release and it's a great rom. Battery life is reliable and it's fast and stable. The camera works fine (720p etc).
Theres only issue with reboot to recovery, which can be easly fixed by replacing one apk (click).
And sometimes battery percentage is stuck at 99-100% (click).
My settings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52086816&postcount=19
There was a great 3.6 build which was almost bugfree for me (at least it didn't need any fixes).

so am i the only one with the camera problem on slimkat?

Have no issues with camera (did you set up Video Encoder to MPEG4?), just one or two reeboots in to recovery since i'm using SlimKat, but there is an easy fix like Stoku wrote. Yes, that little bug about battery percentage...
All in all - feel like my beloved Defy is reborn, fresh, fast, stable...feel like i have 3/4 of new phone:victory:
Again, thanks a lot to TJKV, thanks to all of you kind and good people for spending your time and sharing your knowledge with all of us! THANKS!:good:

After a while of using this (Omnirom), the only slightly annoying bug I encountered was that the camera would stop working (regardless using the stock camera app or another one), after having taken lots of photos.
A simple reboot and the camera would work again

So it's very like stock rom, my green lens defy always did that.
I'm now on CM11 and camera is (at least) as stable as stock, haven't had the camera stopped working..

Good to know.
I have a green lens too.
Now running the latest homemade Omnirom build (omni-4.4.2-20140518-mb526-HOMEMADE.zip) from Struq's google drive.
I shall see if the same bug occurs.

My problem with the One V: Massive lag when using browser (please tips!)

Hi,
First of all, I appreciate that you're taking some time to read my topic
I've got a problem with my One V for a long time now. Overall, the performance of my phone is great. But when using certain apps, for example, a browser (doesn't matter which one, I tried stock browser, Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Dolphin, enz) my phone gets laggy and then completely locks up until I can't even get the screen back on and I have to hard reset it. The problem is most pronounced with browsers but I know that apps like Facebook can trigger the problem too.
I already addressed this problem earlier in the threads of ROMs I was using, but because I think most of you don't have a good idea of what I mean so I made a video to demonstrate the problem.
I have this problem with most custom ROM's. Lloir's and Maxwen's CM10 had this problem and Shpongle (which I'm currently using) has it. I used AOKP for some time back and I'm pretty sure that AOKP didn't have the problem, but unfortunately that ROM had other problems (sound not working, and that's a pretty big deal you know)
I never used stock ROM so I don't know if it's present there as well.
I feel like I'm the only victim of this issue and I've tried everything to get it solved. It's just very annoying because can't use my phone without having to reset it 1-3x per day. I'm at the point that I have no idea what could be causing it and I don't know how to solve it.
I already tried using Turbo Boost, but that didn't solve it. It is very probably not a memory issue; my RAM is not full when the problem shows up.
I'm thinking about trying to revert to stock... Maybe the issue is not present in stock ROM. But I hope you guys can help me in some way... Maybe there are other users with the same problem?

Try downloading greenify. I have this problem, and just set Facebook and other draining apps to hibernate when my screen shuts off....problem solved.

Very strange... maybe your phone's motherboard is broken, so when WiFi transmitter gains signal and send it forward, there's some point in that way that causing problems... I'm talking about WiFi cause you haven't said what are you using: 3G/4G or WiFi... or maybe your router is causing those problems...
And you haven't got back to stock completely... I propose U to flash myONEv 9.5 or Ignorance v3 (best performance and the smoothest I think) and check if that problem repeats... addintionally you can compare CM10/AOKP with custom-Sense ROMs for me custom-Sense ROMs are better than CM10/AOKP

It's not like it is "draining apps". The problem only appears when the screen is on and I use the apps actively. If the phone is so slow that I can't get the screen back on, most of the time it 'recovers' again when I wait for 30-60 minutes with screen off. Off course I don't have the time for that so I hard-reset it.
So I don't think Greenify will do anything in my case.

It doesn't matter whether I'm using WiFi, 2G (GPRS/EDGE), 3G (UMTS) or HSDPA.
Second, it doesn't look like the problem happens with internet access in general. It more happens with certain apps. For example, I can stream video's from Dropbox perfectly. In that case I both have heavy CPU/GPU usage (because of the video decoding/playback) and heavy internet traffic (because I stream from Dropbox), but I have no problems.

Today I installed myONEv RC9.5 FX+ and it is quite a bit smoother, but that goes for every fresh ROM install
I have to test for a few more days to give an answer about whether the problem is fixed or not. The problem seems to be a lot less pronounced with fresh ROM installs and I need to use it some time to be sure.
However, so far I don't think I really like Sense ROMs I've come across several things that I like better in Shpongle or CM10. For example, in most of those ROMs you get in settings an extra options menu with performance settings (overclocking, kernel settings, I/O scheduler, compcache), auto-brightness levels tweaks, auto-rotate tweaks, softkeys settings, statusbar tweaks and such. Does anyone know good compact app that features all this?
Oh, and it's only Android ICS 4.0.1 I was used to JB 4.2.2

All those things: NO... For OC and schedulers U can use NoFrills CPU Control or SetCPU or anything you will find... for statusbar tweaks, Ignorance ROM have additional flashable zip that offers centered clock + normal/% battery and right-side clock + normal/% battery... for RAM tweaks, you can flash ksm.zip from myONEv 9.5 thread or Triple Swap from here... as I remember Nova Launcher have softkeys settings

The browser lag is not just you. I have tried every single browser offered on google play and they all become slow and unresponsive. The only browser I use is stock 4.1.2 browser. Anything else is garbage. Including Opera Mini (not because of lag but because of its bugs in reloading pages when submitting passwords,text in boxes in general..over all its a piece of sh*t) and so are the other "mini" styled browsers. Seems the browser developers have forgotten that they are developing browsers for PHONES..NOT COMPUTERS!! Hell many of the browsers bloat up after install to sizes larger than many desktop browsers..what a joke. I down rate them all on the market.

The fastest and cheapest (low mobile data usage ) browser is Opera Mini... and I haven't seen any bugs in it :good:

i beg to differ. opera mini has several bugs that go back as far as opera mini 4. inputting text in text fields like password,username and general reply/post boxes results in a page reload that requires user to start all over again...and sometimes this reload loops infinitely. the bug starts with operas flawed data compression system in which they crunch and preload pages on their servers before ypu actually get the content. its because the compression via srrver versus direct to device mucks up the transmission of the types of data mentioned. and i wont even start on the "new" opera mobile...what a joke that has become. no opera mini is not bug free by any means. and even after many users submit bug reports about the reload/lost data bug...opera does nothing...either because they cant fix it or dont think its there. well it is and has been for years..

Opera Mobile Classic is the only decent browser IMO, it's the only one that loads pages faster than any other browser for me.And the UI isn't that ****ty new one, it's the one from the old symbian days, the look that actually worked.

the stock browser is spot on versus opera mobile classic,but its a very close second. to bad opera went off on the deep end with that new crap they have up on the play store. even the apps icon sucks.

I have the same problem
But Opera mini next is so good to me.
Ultra FAST and stable
Opera mini next 7.5... Not old Opera mini
But the problem is not memory, it's because message cpu usage of these browsers
For Example Google Chrome run on 100% of cpu and Opera mini runs on 50% average with 10 open tabs!

Weird notification drawer lag on any 4.4 based ROM

I have this really weird lag when I'm on ANY 4.4 based ROM no matter what kernel or gapps package I use. So I install the ROM and its all great but I start travelling and after sometime the notification drawer is all laggy and stuttering like never before. I thought it could be a GPS issue and tried disabling wifi, gps and mobile data but no luck, I also tried clearing app cache, doing a clean wipe and reinstalling ROM, trying almost every 4.4 based ROM out there. All I did was do a Clean install (factory reset, wipe dalvik, cache, system) from TWRP 2.6.3.2, configure the accounts, install superSU from playstore and update binaries, install TiBackup and restore user apps with data. It was still smooth until I leave work/home/travel somewhere. Anyone else facing this issue? Other than this weird lag, the UI is buttery smooth (no lags on homescreen, app drawer, opening and closing apps, etc) and even the RAM usage is quite low (<300MB). I cant seem to figure out what could be causing this. Please help me.
PS: the notification drawer lags ONLY when there are no notifications or when there is a permanent notification. When I get a dismissable notification it doesnt resemble any lag at all!
Thanks.

Is it only with 4.4 ROM's?

I'm also on a recent nightly, and although I don't *feel* any disturbing stutter in notification drawer, it isn't quite as smooth as what's on my Nex4. Now, as the OP has hinted, I tried getting a dismissable notification in the drawer and boom, the drawer is suddenly as smooth as hell - but only for seconds. Wondering why...

I have loaded app and stuff and i still have not seen any sort of lag.
When you are flashing are you wiping the device correctly it may still have files that will slow it down.

I do a clean flash as I stated previously. Factory Reset, Wipe dalvik cache, system, cache, Flash ROM, Gapps (dhacker29's latest), and reboot. Since I use TiBackup to restore, I also download SuperSU from playstore just to update binaries and make TiB work, I uninstall superSU after that and use the built-in superuser app.

I got that problem too!firstly i thought i was a bluetooth issue as i turn on the bluetooth and the notification drawer become laggy.but after a while i found it laggy continually even if i turn off the bluetooth.it's really a annoying thing

I know right? Once I disabled Wifi optimization as it was on, and it got smooth again, but that wasn't the end. I went to work and pulled out my phone, and boom, its all laggy and stuttering again. A few hours back I gave KitKat another shot but this time it was laggy even after the clean install without any apps restored. This is the weirdest thing to ever happen to my GNex. Now I'm back on AOKP 4.3.1 M1 with Tiny Kernel 5.4 with the smoothest android experience ever. Let's wait for the developers to take a look into this issue. :fingers-crossed:

Okay I think I found a solution. I tried 5 use-cases:
Flash method: Clean - Factory reset, wipe dalvik cache & cache, wipe ROM, flash ROM, gapps
1. CM11 ROM with built-in kernel
2. CM11 ROM with Tiny 5.4 kernel
3. CM11 ROM with built-in kernel
4. CM10.2.0 (stable) ROM with built-in kernel
5. CM10.2.0 (stable) ROM with Tiny 5.4 kernel
I noted that when I did not flash a 3rd party kernel the issue seemed to persist even at first start-up. But when I flashed a 3rd party kernel (be it any compatible kernel) there was absolutely no lag at all. But then the question of why I tested it on CM10.2 ROM is because I found the same notification drawer lag on CM10.2 (official) ROM. Maybe this started after the ram-disk was changed? (I'll leave that for the developers to decide).
Note: I'm currently on Gummy 21-12-13 build with Tiny 5.4 kernel, ART enabled. When I started off to work today I wanted to switch to 3G and when I did so the lag was back, but after it found a signal tower it disappeared. I have found no lag so far.
Something off-topic : But commonly throughout these tests, I found that these ROM's exhibited terrible lag when using live wallpaper.
If someone (facing the same issue as stated in the OP) can confirm that the above solution works, it will help alleviate the problem.
Edit: Also found in tricksterMOD that the deep-sleep mode was in the 'unused states' category.

Bump
Okay I guess the problem hasn't been quite solved yet, bumping so people can have a look at this.
Update:
In the recent builds notification drawer lags only when I'm not on Wifi no matter what KK ROM+Kernel combo I try.

I'm on CM11 with Fancy kernel. I also see the lag when not on wifi. It really has not bothered me. The KK ROMs are still fairly new, so I would just give it some time.
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat ROM!

I just wanted to confirm if it was really a bug or something that was specific to my phone. That confirmed the former, thanks!

Just wanted to add my thoughts on this. Are you guys using the Google Experience launcher with the "Ok Google" Hotword Detection? If so, turn off the hotword detection in settings. After doing that, I get no lag whatsoever in my notification drawer. I didnt use that feature that much anyway.

Still no dice on this issue? Not intentionally bumping, but I think this issue might have a deeper cause that requires more attention from devs.
I've read through the "suggestions" above and I can say that nothing works. What I have is a VERY clean CM11 + Franco r395 - no Gapps, no Google Experience Launcher, no Google Now (Google Search is force stopped and its shortcut removed), very few installed apps, no background apps except for input method, lots of free RAM (~520MB), yet this still happens. Only thing that removes the lag temporarily is an incoming notification, which only makes it smooth for seconds.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11

Okay, tried many JB ROMs and they all don't have the lag. Try one of the KK ROMs and they come back immediately. Something with KK source?
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11

One more update: flashed latest CyanogenMod nightly (CM11 20140325) and I surprisingly discovered that the notif lag is gone. Turns out I'm wrong, as the lag is gone only in lockscreen and Trebuchet. However, on second thought, does this phenomenon mean that CM/Trebuchet recently implemented something that potentially removes the lag? What patch is it exactly, and why isn't it applied on other apps?
I still think that this "simple and bearable" problem has a darker side that requires more attention.

[Q] Current fastest/most stable ROM?

Just a quick question for everybody! I've been using Liquid Nitro for a while now, but I'm getting a bit frustrated with the occasional spontaneous resets, and how slow it is. What does everyone here use, and what do you think is the best in terms of stability and speed?

Currently I am using sphinx rom. It is snappy ,good on battery, jelly bean. Be sure to apply both patches. I have found the kitkat to be unstable.

So it's fast, and works with my p930. Is it stable for you (no random restarts?)

It is better then CM, but it still has random reboots. I did not find the reboots to occur as frequently as CM
Nz

So far, after changing the default language from Russian, I am finding Sphinx to be a lot faster and smoother than liquid nitro, though that might be because I don't have all my apps loaded yet. I also just experienced my first random reset (not even 6 hours! not looking good,) which put my phone into a boot loop (it gets to the lock screen, give a "system UI has crashed" error, and reboots,) that I fixed by pulling the battery.
AND SPEAKING OF THE BATTERY my phone now thinks my battery is at ~ %1-%5 power (it was at about %60 when I installed the ROM,) and is constantly telling me to plug it in, and the phone refuses to charge (it won't charge with any cable or wall adapter I have, and won't even recognize when I plug it into a computer.)
In short: lots of problems, but if I can fix them, I will probably keep sphinx.
*Edit: I just went and wiped everything (including battery information) in CWM and installed the "official unofficial" ROM from the same post. It seems so far to be decent (and it's charging the battery!) It's a bit laggy (like the stock ROM, but not as bad a Liquid Nitro got for me.) Tomorrow I will do the full data wipe again (including the battery info) and re-install sphinx to see if it helps.

In my P930, I use the last PAC-ROM, it gets me stability, battery friendly, smooth, it doest get lagged.
It's fully customizable, I recommend it.
The last version I installed is the nightly of 2014-03-28 or so.

Don't forget to install both patches for sphinx.

Also you should never need to yank battery, just unplug USB then hold Power down for 20 seconds.

I'm looking at the Pac ROM releases, but I'm not sure which one to download (I'm not going to do nightly releases.)

Well, it's going (somewhat) well. With the stable release, I haven't had to restart yet, but there are still problems: mainly that the home button doesn't work. along with that, the "cLock" app keeps crashing, and gapps looks like it wasn't installed properly (no gapps except gmail are there, and it doesn't work.) Did you experience any of this with the nightly build you use?
I made doubly sure I installed the correct gapps zip, could it be I have an old version of CWM that's messing it up? I have CWM v6.0.1.5

Installl the gapps core only.
I didn't have any problems with the clock.
You did full swipe?

gapps core? I installed the gapps they linked to in the official thread.
I followed their instructions as well: factory reset, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Never mind! I installed the nightly you said you use (03/29/2014) and it works! I'm loving kitkat. It's being a bit slow right now, but I'm hoping that's because the phone's been downloading the files for GTA 3 since I installed the ROM (and linked my google account) earlier today.

hey, I don't know what is going on, but I'm not finding any of these ROM's to be stable at all. They seem to work alright at first, but once I get my apps back, it all goes down the tubes. Even the Pac ROM, which so far has been the MOST stable, is frustrating to use. I found that my music player (PowerAmp) causes it to be a bit more unstable, but both it and the default music player often crash 'android.process.media' and then I have to reboot my phone.
Along with that, randomly, and frequently, when I try to wake my phone up from sleeping with the power button, the screen will just go black, the buttons will stop responding, and I have to pull the battery. This one is particularly frustrating because this morning my phone tried to turn on the screen to play an alarm and the phone locked up!
I've wiped my phone again and haven't installed any apps. Let's see if the problems still happen.

I've had this phone since it came out. From my experience, ICS ROM's are the most stable, followed by JB ROMS, then KitKat ROMs. If you want the best stability, battery, and for daily use go with either stock ICS or one that's based on stock. The only problem with that is that you miss out on any of the new improvements in JB and KitKat. For daily use, non of the KitKat ROMs are stable enough. Currently, I'm running CM 10.1.3 with Wind Kernel 2.6. It's not as stable as ICS stock. I get random locks/restarts about once or twice a week. It does however offer the best compromise in stability and features/improvement over just running ICS ROMs. Specwise, this phone was ahead of the curve when it came out. But battery and performance issues kept this from being a good phone. Because it's not well used, there's very little support and development for this phone.

Feedly on Android 5.0 very laggy

Does anyone here use Feedly on their G3 with the stock 5.0? If so; have you noticed that Feedly is very laggy and when you transition from articles back to the main page the app is flickering? I am not sure if this is happening on the stock rom. I am using Cloudy G3 2.1 and having this issue. I have a nexus 5 with the stock rom and it is not having this issue.

Hi man i also noticed bad gpu performance, especially in hybrid html apps....i hope there will be a fix

I'm on an older 1st gen Kindle Fire, I also notice significant lag on CM 12 vs CM 11.
(Sorry not trying to hijack the thread but wanted to report this on another device)

Strange that the issue is only on G3 and not the N5. It must be something to do with the LG rom and maybe not with the feedly application, although, I did see in the reviews comments that they were working on better ART support. It's possible that this issue is cause by a number of factors...

yeah im feedly every hour user but so laggy on my lollipop stock

I checked also with a nexus 7 and saw the same performance.....maybe its something with the built in webview of lollipop...

ok, i am almost sure the problem comes from the fact that android lollipop currently has its internal webview working on chromium 37. currently there is version 40 already out, and when checking hybrid apps with the chrome beta browser, which has this version of chromium, things look amazing.
I hope they update it in the really near future!

Do we have any news on the issue, people ?
