Slight lag on the Droid? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

I'm pretty sure I don't remember this happening before, but I might be wrong. I was using my phone and suddenly the UI wasn't as smooth as it used to be, the app drawer (I use LauncherPro) seems to load but freezes for like a quarter of a second when the 3D part of the menu (not sure how to describe it, I can give a screenshot of it if you want) loads. I guess I could get myself to live with it, it I'd like to get it back to how it was before if that's possible, help would be appreciated.

Are you routed? Overclocked? Stock rom?

Rooted, running Froyo. Using a automatic oc kernal (the one that pushes it to 1250 MHz And just a few apps (Droid LED and Wifi manager) that didn't work/I didn't need. I do have quite a few apps though, but it didn't always do this with a lot of apps installed.

...it actually seems to have fixed itself o_o, well after I uninstalled twitter
Edit: Nevermind, the lag is back <<

Theres a very good chance it is the kernel. To my knowledge 1.25GHz is a little unstable (correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have a droid, but a milestone).

It happened when I was using the 1 GHz kernal too though :\

What is your favorite Eris ROM?

I am sorry if this is in the incorrect place or if this has already been asked, but I could not find it in the search. What is your favorite Eris ROM and why?
I am currently using Sense-able 3.1 and like it except for it missing LWP and Overclock.
thank you for your time and I look forward to the responses. Love this forum and I am happy to be able to finally post something.
I personally really like Tainted Vanilla 1.3.1. Though it has some bugs to work out, I find it to be an excellent rom. But seeing as I am new to the Droid Eris Rom scene I haven't really tried out many except Evil Eris, VanillaDroid and Tainted Vanilla.
I'm using sense-able 3.1 with oc loving it actually. Supposed to be updated soon for a2sd also.

i use Tainted Vanilla 1.3.1 because for the most part it is the fastest one i have used. its plain in a way but its nice because it doesnt have all the other crap that slows stuff down.
EE i didnt give a good chance with but hear good things...
i used sensable3 for some time and i love the way it looks but even overclocked it was slow as sin and couldnt repeat my numbers well.
lightning rom was alright but i didnt like it much.
so basically this is all off first impressions... i would sugest you try them all out and see which one hooks you in.
Did you have the new overclocking patch on senseable? Runs fast and stable on my phone, have it set at 768.

I am running 3.1 right now, and I installed it without going through an update from 3.0. Do I need to flash a patch or do I need to get an app from the market? Sorry for not knowing what I am talking about...
In the development section zanfur has a post titled overclocking patch and update, its a update that can be applied to the Rom following his directions. I actually got mine over 800 before it locked and rebooted just make sure and follow the directions in the post. I'm currently getting 3.2 to 3.5 mflops consistently with it.

Their is a variety of rom choices because each person's taste is different. This is my take after running them.
EE- Very fast and is made by an awesome dev. He worked very hard to make sure that it runs well and for the most part it has run well. OC enabled
Aloysius- Simple Stable and works very well. It has sense and is OC'ed. It is what I use and so far have stuck with it, then again it is my rom
Tainted Vannilla- I tried this last night and it is very fast, but also very plain. Not my taste as I am a fan of HTC sense.
Sensable- Awesome and almost bug free from my experience with it and would recommend it to almost anyone.
Ivan's- Simplest and most bug free rom we have available to us. I ran it for a while, and also used it as a base for my rom until the newest leak arrived. Simply stated it is a great almost stock rom.
This is just from my experience, but my experience also tells me to try them all and see which one hits you the best.

yeah i had the patch... the rom it self was pretty good and i got 2.9 mflops at points but it wasnt consistant... i want to try it again though...
lightning bolt with jit and oc at 768 i am getting 5.1 fairly consistant but it plain and i am having a problem going back to my home screens.
but internet and other functions on the phone blows sensable out of the water.
I am using my own lil creation
Aloysius v6 Maps + latest OC kernel (OC'd @ 806) + removed time from toolbar + circle battery = 3.2-3.3MFLOPS
I have tried every ROM that has come out and Aloysius series seems to be the best. I am staying with v6 since it does everything I need it to and my update files wont work on any other version without giving me problems. I may switch this weekend to something else, just dont know what yet.
until today, i was on evil eris 2.0.1 - very good rom!
as of now...i'm using zenEXP - my new everyday rom!

Was using EE 2.0.1 getting 3.1~ MFLOPS oc'd to 768, but I gave up sense for JIT and im now using tainted vanilla getting 5.2~ MFLOPS oc'd to the same.
Really like the improvement + live Nexus wallpaper that doesn't break.
Switched to Aloysius v11 MAPS. Added the latest oc kernal so I can get to 806 and love it more than v6. Spencer did a great job of porting this ROM. I give all devs credit for making us ROMs but this one seems to be my fav.

I agree! I was running Ivan's until a couple of days ago. Glad I made the switch. EE is much faster.
I've been running Framework43's Senseless 1.0 Pure Vanilla since last night and it's fantastic! I put the JIT update on there and have no problems and getting 3.2-3.5 MFLOPS consistantly and it's not even OCed (yet). Also, in the ROM's thread, there is a link on how to get A2SD to work and it works perfectly. Very fast and stable. It's the initial release and practically bugless already.

[Q] Performance help!

Sorry If this seems like a Newb type of question.. But is 26.3 fps a good benchmark score?
I'm Running...
android version 2.2
baseband version 2.42.01.04.27
kernel version 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmodameer darchstar #9
mod version cyanogenmod-6.0.0-heroc-rc1
build number frf91
Is there a way to utilize my hero better?
If I understand it correctly, a lot of these "tests" are subjective and not really an exact measuring stick. I've seen as high as 32.2fps on my hero running PapaSmurf's Blue ROM. I have seen as low as 13fps on an unrooted 2.1 sprint stock ROM. So 26 is very good.
However I consistently get higher MFLOPS with CM6 and Froyo. But it isn't as simple as just saying "I have more MFLOPS so my phone is faster than yours".
Thanks for the info! What are mflops? Also are there any tips to speed up the phone?
I just used linpack and out said my mflops was 2.221?

MFLOPs are "Mega-FLoating Point Operations Per Second" - basically a measure of processing speed.

You can install as many app as your hero can hold and still not slow your phone down. But if your installing apps that update in the background that is set for short intervals, than yes it will slow down your phone. Just be sure the apps you download that update in background can be set to longer update intervals. For example, if your using a gmail widget that updates your e-mail every 15-30 min, slows it down. Hope this helps you.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
The only Widgets I'm running on my phone are google search, SetCPU, Sense Analog Small Clock. I also set up the phone so that I only have 3 screens instead of 5, 6, 7. I'm not too sure if that will make it faster.. I'm just more of a minimalist.

I'm stuck..please please help.

So I mistakenly installed the i9000 voodoo lagfix kernal.......problem is.no voice calls on my phone. I'll tell what state my phone is currently in, and where i'd like to be, and any help i can get would be greatly appreciated.
Current State:
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband Version I897UCKB1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build number Froyo.UCKB1
Phone build 1006
rooted/shell rooted/market enabled with SuperOneClick
I disabled the voodoo lagfix but still have the I9000 kernel apparently (splash screen and no voice calls)
Where I want to be:
Stock Froyo
Rooted (which I know how to do)
Voodoo Lagfix built on captivate kernel, not I900 (because I like to talk on my phone)
That's all I want. Odin1click seems to not want to work for me anymore, unless I'm apparently doing something wrong in my method of operation.
I cannot seem to find a stock Froyo rom? Maybe I just don't know how to search the forum, because I can't ever seem to find anything very easily.
Please someone help me, this is my only phone, and I had to borrow a laptop for the night, to fix my phone.
well........nevermind, imagine, after a giant pitcher of amberbock and a shot.......
first thing i do when i come home is get the correct kernel with voodoo lagfix installed
wtf. no more I9000! So I think I got to where I wanted all by myself, well i mean I didn't make all the oneclicks but you guys know what I mean!
edit: i did a quadrant, I feel I have the stock kernel installed but not lagfix as my quadrant is only 900 something? doesn't seem right cosidering
i was close to 1800 before on i9000 *sigh* Still would like to find a stock ATT FROYO rom Just in case
Quadrant means nothing. I ran two benchmarks one after each other with the same setup and got 900 and 1500. It only looks big when you compare it.

Just look for the voodoo folder. If it is there then it is installed. As for your scores that seems about right for a stock Tom, the i9000 Tom's will always be faster as they are more updated

Yeah that was for the universal lag fix. Not voodoo. As long as it is there and no disable lag fix folder then you are good. It would not have carried over as the stock flash wiped it when you flashed the update. Not sure if he is as he doesn't have the device. And they are building kernals on more updated stuff then 2.2. Only time will tell if he does. I am more looking coward to the 2.3 port lol

If you are having that problem then a factory reset(wipe data and cache) should help. Basically starting the OS from scratch will help it. I had the problem of it getting very hot when surfing for no reason as well. If you haven't, update your baseband. That will help out as well. It's the cellular radio that is heating up like that. A new baseband will help.
CM7 is good, you can decrease the cpu voltage and the highest speed to get lower temperature, use opera 11 instead of the build in browser.
As far as Milestone is concerned, Cronos Ginger is the fastest and the one that run more stuff than the others. Unfortunately, froyo still is way better, Cronos Ginger or not. Gingerbread is not for Milestone, at least until someone find a way of running custom kernels or doing some swap... And this is most likely not going to happen.
Thanks but I don't wanda do a factory reset. If I do it then I will switch to another rom not cm7 again. Can you tell me how to update that radio?

the problem of gb is that it takes too much ram. if we would have an open bootloader it wouldnt be that worse, because we could optimize the memory management.

lagging even though over clocked

I'm using rocket rom v23 with Abyssnote kernel version 4.2. And overclocked to 1.4ghz with ondemand using SETCPU. I don't have any background running application other than background data and gps enabled all the time.
For past week my phone is very slow and i need to wait for couple of seconds to let the app open. Why is this happening and what is the resolution?? I don't have any issue in battery. And also I don't want to loose any app's data.

Try rebooting into CWM then clearing cache and davlik cache. I had similar problem with another ROM gradually slowing down and wasn't sure what was causing it. Clearing the caches sorted the problem.

I have overclocked a few phones in my past, but the Note? Really its so fast and all works super smooth. Maybe with the right ROM where the dev already pre-overclocked it... But setCPU was never working great for me. Maybe just my opinion, but wipe, and get yourself a good ROM. No need to overclock this beast.
There is no lag "problem" per se. period. Stating there is a "problem" makes the assumption that there can be a fix.
You cannot fix the inequality in display processing between the S2 and the Note, given that the Note must process 2.6 times as much information for the display as the S2, so it will ALWAYS appear to be not quite as fast as the S2, given it has similar hardware.
So given you cannot get a gallon of beer in a pint glass, making it a different pint glass (ICS) wont help.
Now, sure the appearance of "lag" on the Note can be minimised thru tweaking optimisations, but note (small n) that the same can be also applied to the S2! Essentially, never in a month of Sundays will two devices with similar hardware, one of which is doing 2.6 times the work, ever appear to operate with the same UI zip.

The thing is...I don´t have any lag at all. Even with stock. BUT I can see a huge difference (on Stock rom) between TouchWiz and alternative launchers. Touchwiz is smooth as butter, whereas Go Launcher Ex shows a small lag (and it´s the fastest GB launcher alternative afaik.
And beside that: Currently I´m on Stunner (ICS) and here it is even a better experience. Absolutely no lag or waiting time, never, period.
I can´t sign the statement anymore, that the note is slower than a SGSII...I have both of them, and on Stunner it´s quite the same experience
