Running clean ROM 2.6 and elementalx 2.6 kernel @ 1.8 GHz OC. Optimized dalvik and biotic patches, and performanceX.
A lot of games just randomly crash every once in a while, but it's usually those more graphically intense. I've tried playing Asphalt 8, Gears and Guts, Modern Combat 4. Have I optimizes my device too much?

Are you using ART? Dead trigger 2, and asphalt 8 used to crash on me, usually when loading levels (no app not responding message it would just throw me back to the home screen) when I was on 4.4 krt16s with ART enabled. Right now I'm on 4.4 krtl6s with the elementalX kernel(2.2) @1.7 CPU and 450 GPU, I'm also using the optimized dalvik and bionic patches, I use the xposed framework, running dalvik, and like 20 different modules, and I haven't had any stability problems, and my game's run silky smooth.
No, I'm running dalvik. I have xposed framework also. Heard adaway gave some apps problems, but I don't have it enabled. Not sure if it's clean ROM or what..

Have you tried clocking down to stock (CPU and GPU (if applicable)) and running it for a bit and see if it stabilizes?
I'll try clocking down see what happens.
Edit: Clocking GPU down to stock improved it a little, at least I got into game, but it crashed shortly after. Maybe I'll try cpu.
I also have it thermal throtle cool and vsync (I believe it is) on. I'll put everything stock and see what happens.

Idk if you got it working yet but I was actually browsing around the clean ROM page, and they have optimized Qualcomm dalvik libraries, and the thread that I got my optimized dalvik and bionic libraries (the motox one's I believe), said that it may cause issues with some ROMs, so my guess is that there not playing nice. Also oc'd my gpu to 485 and my CPU to 1.8, didn't get any instability.
Also, tried out gears and guts, cus you put it in between mc4 and asphalt 8, It's good stuff. :victory:
Good luck
I'll flash the revert zips for the dalvik and bionic library and see if it helps.

Try backing them up with Titanium Backup, then remove the troublesome apps and restore with Titanium Backup. This fixes many app crashing problems.

Wiped the device clean, but what did you flash afterward. I suspect it's a kernel problem.
I clean flashed cleanrom and elementalx kernel. I found some revert zips for the Qualcomm optimized dalvik and bionic, flashed, and games seem to be working now.
Guess cleanrom doesn't like the optimized files. Shame because it made a bit of a performance difference in lag (or at least the benchmark improved.) Maybe I'll try flashing it again and see if it works..

Try rewiping, flash stock rom, stock everything, if games still crash, and still under warranty, unroot, relock bootloader and send it in.

Rewiped, back to stock ROM and kernel. No optimized dalvik or bionic. Games are running good now.
Would I be safe just to flash the optimized dalvik and bionic, and ElementalX on stock ROM? No problems would occur? Because I like the speediness they gave.

I would bet it's safe, but I would do one at a time and test it for a few days then do the next one, etc...same with any settings with the kernel, make one adjustment in small increments at a time, then test for a few days, etc.
At least you know it's not hardware!

I can't tell if my phone was getting this way before I upgraded to Fresh 3.4.0.1 or if it happened after the upgrade... but my phone is sluggish. I am running the stock kernel with no OC. Sometimes I'll check my CPU with SystemPanel and it says it's constantly around 95-100% which a reboot fixes.
Is this a problem with Fresh? I have been more than happy with Fresh 3.3.0.1. No complaints at all.
Or is this a problem with a specific app? My wife loves to play Bubble Blast on my phone, and when she does my phone gets VERY warm and drains my battery like no other.
Has anyone else had problems after Fresh 3.4.0.1?
Does anyone else play Bubble Blast and have the same problem?
Thanks.
I was running fresh 3.4 for a day or two and it seemed quicker than cm6 for me.

Yeah? Would wiping cache/data help? Or is it possible that Bubble Blast is just a rogue app using all my CPU power?

Nothing looks like it is using more CPU that is should. I'm not having the problem right now, but normally it just says CPU usage is at 90+%
Been running cm7.0.3 for a while and have been using the kernal that came with the rom, and it seems any game I play after a few minutes the game ends up freezing. Tried different governer modes and Max clock speed and stock clock speed, with no difference. Any suggestions? I'm assuming its my kernal....

I'm not sure if the stock CM kernel is overclockable (very well may be) but I have had really good results with either Chad's incredikernel or invisiblek. Never ran into any issues playing games, even CPU intensive ones.

Those are the ones from nightly right? And its been forever since I've flashed a kernal, do I wipe dalvik and that's it?
Sent from my ADR6300
The nightlies still have the stock CM kernel. Those other kernels are in the development forum. And yes, you just flash the kernel in recovery like a rom. A cache/dalvik cache wipe is all that's necessary.

hello, that´s my concern :S, i want to do it but i need to know what´s the best way to get it done, i hope someone can tell me, i already installed CM10 with jelly bean 4.1.2
First install kernel zip from recovery. (If using team win recovery there is no need to darkside wipe.) I use flapjaxx kernel and its great. Can be found in development section.
Get "system tuner" from play store.(free).
I clock mine at 1.67ghz. Good performance and battery life.
If you got CM10 installed this will be easy for you.

Well, I didn't do it with Team Win Recovery so i guess that i had to use darkside wipe after installing the kernel. The thing is that it kind of bricked my phone :S, any ideas?
If its bootlooping at boot animation, you need to dark side cache wipe after installing. If you don't have the cache wipe already you may have to restore from your nAndroid backup(assuming you did that before kernel install), then get darksidecachewipe.boot to recovery and install kernel, then cache wipe. Should boot after that. May take longer to boot the first time.
I went through the same thing the first time. But I could not even install cm10 without DS cache wiping, which makes me wonder how u got cm10 running without Dscachewipe. Did you follow install instructions on page 1 of flapjaxx kernel thread?

Alright, now it's working , I just did what you said. I set it on 1.67 GHZ with System tuner App. could you recommend any other Tweaks?
Play around with your clock speed. Go a little higher if you want. Personally I like 1.67ghz because its a good compromise between battery and performance.
Antutu benchmark @ 1.67ghz=7806
And @ 1.83ghz= 8050
So there is a performance increase, but for daily driving I think it unnecessary.
I flashed GPU script also from flapjaxx, but I don't see much gain because I don't need all that much graphics performance.
I'm also running the v6 supercharger script @ 25% super charge. Search for it on xda. Huge gain in performance with this script.
You can also try "pimp my ROM" for various tweaks but I didn't much care for it.
How's your GPS running?
Only problem I'm still having.
Good luck. Pm me if ya want.

hehehe thanks!, now i have a small issue... now the capacitive buttons delays on turning on when i overclock it :S, why´s that?
Try playing with the options in "settings-advanced- sensors". I keep BLN off. I think it does not let the phone deep sleep as often. Which consumes more battery.
Sounds like us got it all figured out. Don't forget to backup in recovery. Saved me many times.

Why does the GN lag so much when installing a app from the playstore?
And can something be done that i can use the device while a app gets installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think it's because Android is just not so optimized, it lags on almost every debice

On my stock optimus2x or anfriends note 2 there is not the slightest lag when installing a app.
GN basicly locks up so i doubt its android somehow...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Because the CPU takes a hit with processing the install (unpacking resources, etc). OMAP CPUs are very open for development/modding compared to other CPUs, but the side effect is they're not quite as powerful due to avoiding some libraries and hardware techniques other CPUs might use that are proprietary in certain cases.

so i went back to stock (with the exact same apps as before) and this is a huge difference, no lag at all, no even when installing apps from the playstore. no need for any seeder or lagfix hack to get the device working as it should.
so now the question is wether the lag apears as well after some time or if the lag thing is only present in custom roms. and if so then the question is why.
i will keep my device on stock for some weeks to see how it goes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It will almost certainly come back, and it's not only present in custom ROMs. A clean install of a custom ROM should result in the same speed boost as a clean install of a stock ROM. See the following thread:
Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM
I would also say it depends on what governor and I/O scheduler you use. I would say try the stock settings of interactive and cfq.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
as far as i can remember all custom roms literaly froze when a app was installed. so far i have not seen this on stock and i dont think that is a mather of trim or sheduler/governor.
but i will find out soon enough i guess...
Edit: forgot to ask, you are on a custom rom and your device doesnt freeze while installing apps?

I have tried 3-4 ROMs so far and never faced this problem.
While downloading apps, I can parallely do other tasks, play games, make and receive calls.
And if this helps, My GNex is 7 months old.

I agree. I'm using XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364. Ever since dumping the stock ROM, the Play Store performance is painfully slow. I have 276 apps on my Galaxy Nexus and the Play Store seems to be the only app that impairs the phone's performance so dramatically.
As a previous poster said, a lot has to happen when installing an app. So I tear myself away from my beloved comm dev from a few minutes and do something else. Like relate to my wife
I can play it through about 1-1/2 to 2 races then it stops responding. It's starting to make me mad.
ElementalX kernel 1.8 GHz CPU, 450 MHz GPU. Cool throttling. I believe I have Qualcomm bionic and dalvik patches flashed.
Any suggestions? Maybe just getting too hot and crashing? It only gets up to 50° though.

Try updating kernel(Version 2.6 now) + bionic and dalvik patches again
I've had Elementalx 2.6, flash the patches again and it still crashes.
I've heard its just an unstable game. Turning off WiFi seems to help a bit. Read something about it scanning for WiFi and it crashing randomly. Guess just Gameloft's problem.

It's not just heat, sometimes having too high a clock can cause instability within other parts of the system, regardless of heat. I would try stock clocks (cpu and gpu) just to see if it gets better.
Went back to stock clocks and its not crashing. I'll increment the clocks until I find a more stable setting.
Thanks.
