Slow - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I upgraded my milestone to 2.2.1 since then my phone has slowed down , opening or closing of apps takes time and sometimes it reboots itself , processing has slowed down eventually ,
Comments appreciated and help required

Try to Hardreset your phone...
I never had an issue like this...

Root it.
SuperCharge it.
Enjoy.

Try overclocking, or preferably try a new ROM already overclocked - that way you will get fresh rom + optimizations + OC = you will be pleased.
You don't even have to use supercharging as many roms already do great without it.

And many are slow as a snail to the point where the phone is unusable...
Not everybody loves clogged memory like you do lol
The guy wants it fast... not slow LMAO
Edit: Actually, you're kinda sorta almost right in some cases... as more and more devs are supercharging their roms

LMAO LOL ROFLLMALMAO
please, point out those which are slow, let us know

Search the forum for "redraw"
You may actually get 1 or 2 hits...
I edited my prior post indicating that you're right in a few cases...

I'm still waiting for those roms which you meant as "slow as a snail"
PS: it is not called supercharging, that's just your script. people used other values even before your "fancy" script.

Ya, but nobody dared to actually fix OOM memory groupings... bub
I even say in my OP... playing with minfrees is NOT memory management...
What I did IS memory management...
I control what goes where and when it gets killed.. that's the only way to do it
An app like AMM or AKMO will let you set minfrees for 6 slots.
That's it.
Big deal.
But stock froyo and stock gingerbread group apps differently nevermind all the different configurations of custom roms.
Hell, CM7 has NOTHING in the third slot.
With AMM you can set slot 3 to 100mb on CM7 and it won't do squat.
Edit: Of course, when I say "slow as a snail" it is my opinion based on a rom unsupercharged as compared to when it is supercharged.
So out of the box, HONO and MIUI are supercharged to begin with at the moment so except for those, all the others would feel slow to me.
To you, EVERYTHING is fast, because you like sloooooooooooooooooooow with lots of apps that you aren't using clogging up memory.
Which is NOT what the OP was asking for

They are all overclocked
Froyo or gingerbread is basically the main decision on what to try

Am scared to try the overclocking coz as many said it may brick your phone but my phone is still under warranty, is there any links from where I can actually start with rooting and custom rom and. Overclocking?

Well, technically, rooting it voids the warranty anyway

Can it be ported to our phones?
I think if we could get this working everyone would most likely be grateful.
Let me know what everyone thinks. Im just throwing the idea and hopefully inspiration out there to try and get this working.
i was looking at it a while back, didnt really take a lot of time at it though. ill check into it a bit more, see what i can do
Thanks man its appriciated I see your doing alot for the forum now so im just throwing out a good work.
if this gives us a huge speed increase on the stock htc kernel with its battery life and quick charge time, it'd be tit.
Yea personally my phone lags out more then id like. Usually its when texting which i assume is because i use a 3rd party app and because i usually have a few thousand texts in my inbox but still any kind of boost without sacrificing battery would be AWESOME.

yea but to be honest, i dont think there is such thing as a completely smooth sense rom. i mean skyraider and frankenrom were close with a good kernel but i think if we got this to work to take a load off the UI/system it would be alot smoother, no little "glitches" or hiccups ya kno
Even if it's not 100% smooth if it helps without the need of overclocking well that's just great

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I never get lag, not sure what you are doing to yours but your are definitely doing something wrong. I have had Droid 1 users comment on how smooth the Incredible was compared to the Droid.
I am running stock rom which I deodexed and zipaligned and removed verizon bloat from. I also delete texts before they get 1000+ long. I never understood wht people kept them that long, blackmail later on?
I would love to see this on the Incredible though, I actually came looking to see if anyone was working on this.
if what I'm reading is correct, this might be the best performance tweak that could make roms truly fly.
I certainly would appreciate it tremendously.

Cyanogen just tweeted they will support no phones with this. Why is that? Is this a bad hack or something?
But the speed increase looks phenomenal! I'd be down for this in ROMs.

Well it seems like porting it is tricky in the second link I posted it says how the phone doesn't wanna act right after a reboot. Hmm well maybe we will get lucky and get this working on our phones.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
So only r2does is willing to tackle this?
Hmm I really thought people would be more excited.
no sure if im going to have a chance any time soon though, busy with the GRH build, plus i got finals next week.
people may not be interested because it doesnt seem like theres a large following. CM already said that d2ext will recieve NO support from him or his team.
Did the cm team say why they would not support this? Is it too much different work for each device and thus not easy to develop as a common rom?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Per @cyanogen
Using the data2ext hack on CM ROMs will get you no support from us. You have been warned
Well this is the forbidden hack now
I dont mind waiting but i dont see why people arent excited i mean this would seemingly get rid of the need to overclock and with your phones which have very well known bad battery life that seems amazing to me.

I came from a Droid 1 and yea huge difference but its COMPPETELY smooth... I don't keep a million texts and for the most part it is smooth but you do have to admit you get an occaisional hiccup or the lock screen slider isn't too smooth idk I love it wayyyyyy better than any other phone ui though

Yeah, just like they probably won't support ROMs that have any sort of other mod of their ROM... and with good reason. You wouldn't support something you made if someone else screwed it up by adding a bunch of modifications or changing system files.
Gingerbread ROMs are going to be worthless until the source drops or a ROM leaks from another phone anyway. Why not work on something worth while in the mean time instead of something that's going to be completely abandoned in a month or so?
He went on to say later that the reason that they would not be supporting it is that #1 it is his belief that it is a benchmark hack, with no other use. #2 If you move the data partition to the SD (or better yet, we have 8gb of internal storage, which is probably faster transfers) when you try to wipe between roms, you leave a bunch of garbage behind and possibly have issues. Then the *****ing starts and everybody thinks it's because of your rom, but really it was just that the whole partition didn't get wiped.

Debating on overclocking my phone

I have a samsung captivate, it runs fine but like everyone I'd like it to be a little faster. Now I've been reading into the whole overclocking thing and it sounds awesome but I'd like to get some of your opinions first. There is a app that you can download that allows you to overclock it fairly easily, but I just don't want to kill my phone. What are your opinions? And if you monitor your temp and don't let it get to high, you'd think that I'd be just as safe as if it wasn't overclocked. I've read people having their phone get to 160 degrees, mines not overclocked yet but the highest I've been able to manage is around 110. If I were to overclock, can you give me a idea at what your temp is? And at what temp should I lay off it for a while, thanks.

TBHIMO , i wouldn't overclock because it's fast enough even at 800Mhz (what i'm running at) . i like having a longer lasting phone .
BUT if you are not content with 1Ghz , then i think you should flash a kernel with Xan's Undervolting App compatible and overclock so you can undervolt at higher clock speeds .
not too sure what the temps would be when overclocked since i never OCd my phone . OCing decreases the battery life of the processor FYI .
Okay thanks for your opinion. Like you I also don't want to decrease my phones lifespan. But I have also read people saying if your phones temp stays normal that it does not harm your phone anyway at all. Looking to get a few more opinions.
I tried it and couldn't be patient enough to get it stable even at 1200MHz, so I left it as is. It's quite fast already, but needed to try it out to make sure I wasn't missing out. To be honest I was more interested in UVing the phone to increase my already good battery life on Serendipity.
Most if not all Captivates can do 1200Mhz at stock voltages. This will however raise your temps just a bit, hence the reason to UV.
If I were you just try it at 1200 and see where that gets you. If you can get that going, you can always write down your settings and push it a bit further. Here's the oft-circulated guide to OCing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10936691&postcount=1102
If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then be happy knowing your phone is plenty fast already
Okay, thanks for the link. I just read the comments on the overclocking app in the marketplace and everyone saying its made their phone run way smoother and that they recommend it to everyone so I'm just trying to see if its really worth it.

umm, you aren't running stock right? You have to be running a kernel that supports oc/uv
Overclocking is very safe specially at 1.2 where I have not seen any kernels going crazy with voltages for example.
Like someone mentioned, the overclocking tool wont do anything unless you have a kernel capable of overclocking though.
My favorite for froyo is Paragon but Suckerpunch or Onix are good too.
For CM7 my favorite is Trident so far.
Not everyone needs the extra speed but if you feel you do, give it a show and dont be scared about killing the CPU. If you see your phone going over 50C then I would back down but I have only seen mine go like to 56C once with one single kernel that was way too voltage happy at high speeds lol

If you are still on stock, I would suggest doing some research and flashing a custom rom, that will give you a different kernel, plus a lot of other performance tweaks, maybe just enabling a lagfix to convert the file system to Ext4 is all you would need instead of overclocking.

All I have done to my phone so far is download adw launcher ex from the market place. I'm not familiar with flashing roms just yet. Might give it a shot tonight its not to hard. Roms seem to be the popular thing for the captivate.
Well, my cappy is 2 weeks old, I'm running Serendipity and LOVING it. Do a lot of reading b4 doing any rom's. It's not that simple. I suggest titanium back up, from the market, as well as rom manager. Back up ur apps. I just flashed paragons kernel, search this site for it. It had 3 or 4 versions of it from stock to oc'd to 1400. I started with a 1280 oc and now running 1360? Approx. I am blazing fast and no problems at all. If you have a custom rom oc'ing shouldn't be an issue, just read, read, read. Good luck.

Yeah flashig roms is extremely popular and for good reason...you wont be believe how much better the phone can be until you try a custom ROM. As for lagfixes...I am not a big fan because I feel that when 2.2.1 roms started to show up the lag fixes did not make much difference and for me in cases made things worst. The best lag fix by FAR I have used is the actual CM7 ROM...damn that thing has no lag at all but that is a different level of difficulty to install it...nothing huge but I do this way too often.
A normal ROM is quite easy but READ a lot and ASK a lot before doing it to make sure you have a good experience.
you dont need to overclock unless you do heavy processing, such as running 3d games and emulators. i only overclock when gaming and throw it back down to 1000mhz under normal conditions.

And aside from being a little complicated, CM7 isn't in it final release yet so it will be buggy, which if you are new to Android isn't a good ROM to start with. Check out the Android Development section. The top ROMs (based on visits to their Topics, but not in Order) are Serendipity, Cognition, Firefly, Phoenix, Darky's......there are more but that is off the top of my head.
Darkys is a little complicated for a beginner. Don't forget Continuum. Cezar just released v4.

I think a good start for a flash noob would be cognition, its closest to stock and you will notice instantly the speed boost. My favorite though is firefly

+1 on trying cognition. If you like the stock look and feel it's a good place to start. I personally dont see much of a difference when I have my phone overclocked to 1500. Maybe thats just me though.
Im running serendipity 6.3 now and I think my phone is very fast. I had an inspire and an atrix and to be honest my captivate is almost if not as fast as they were.

Thanks for all the replies. My buddy has done some flashing before and we are gonna do this process together so I don't mess anything up. We are going with cognition 4.3, looks to be most stable and has the no lag fix and some other cool stuff. The videos that we will be following is for a older cognition, version 4 I believe, the process should still be the same right? Also the videos was published by mobiletechreviews, I believe that he is part of the xda community. So this is what I'm leaning on doing tomorrow when my buddy comes over, but if someone mentions something better we'd definitely like to hear about it. The person that said they prefer wirefly or I think that's what he called it, can you tell me why you like that better? Thanks for the help so far.

Can a ROM make my phone quicker?

I'm with the stock LG ROM on the LG Thrill.
Can I do something to make my phone faster.
Yes roms and the right tweaks and this phone is awesome

A custom ROM will make your phone run faster. There are you can tweak the build.prop and other things like scripts to improve the phone as well. Right now I just flashed the Mokee v1.0 ROM and it is the best ROM I have ever used on this phone. I would definitely recommend getting a CM7 ROM as long as you don't care about 3D and HDMI as they are broken currently with CM7.
I find the phone quite snappy, but then again I'm coming from a Samsung Epic. That phone was good but is getting very long in the tooth. I'm using Thrillseeker 2.1 on mine and so far I can say yes, it does improve the phone's speed. Next on the to try list is CM7(which is downloading on my phone as we speak). It's a boring day at work, might as well be productive, right?

The right kernel is really all you need ... But you need to know about basebands also if you wanna get into that .. if you wanna keep it simple just download a few different roms and see what works best for you

hi dude can you explain further about that scripts and how to usw that? tnx a lot dude
Actually, I've been fighting this for a while.
Sometimes the phone is blazing, other times it chugs like molasses.
I've slowly chipped away at the issues, because it's obvious not everybody has these issues, but considering how many times I've tried custom ROMs and kernels, and nothing fixes it, it has to be something I'm running.
Over time, I got rid of Folder Organizer, because that seemed to make it chug. The device seems to have very little RAM and it goes REALLY slow when it's close to full. I also tried things like deleting the downloaded files for the GameLoft titles to speed up the media search on boot. (Less files searched, less RAM used, right?)
Recently one change I made that seemed to help IMMENSELY was uninstalling SwiftKey. I'd LOVE if I could get some help confirming. The circle-swipe to unlock seems much smoother, even after a day, after getting rid of SwiftKey. I'm guessing it just used too much RAM.
At this point, I'd be at a lost otherwise. I changed launchers and used CPU monitors to see what's using up all the CPU, but came up empty.
Additionally, if you haven't tried using Seeder, I'd install that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032

Wait for GalaxyICS team build.
In Ace section you will found Camera working for Ace, GalaxyICS team working source for our device to.
so wait it on Galaxy ICS site news.
There is a discussion thread about it , why to create a new thread again ?
Cheers
Camcoder and HW acceleration in that ROM will never work because qualcomm hasn't released the OpenMAX codecs... even if they manage to make it all working anyway, i'm not going to use that hacked and unstable rom - and probably very little group of people will use it. CM7.2 is just fine, why the hell someone wants ICS so badly, I haven't found a single advantage over Gingerbread except saying android 4.0 in about menu...
Go flash CM7 or any other GB rom and enjoy, stop waiting for something that you will never be satisfied with.
Okk.. thanx for your replies guys..

Agreed, CM9 stable and smooth, the only bug for me is camera, But CM7 has many many bugs ..
BTW, If you want to fix lockcreen and usb layouts go there:

It all depends on opinions, layout of ics is better than GB or cm7 so that attracts people towards ics. I'd definitely use it if they manage to get camera working.

You are the one that has bugs in his mind, obviously. CM9 stable? CM7 buggy? Who are trying to screw here mate? ONLY bug that CM7 has for our device is camera orientation - but fix for that exist, although i'm not using it - because the bug is easy to understand. If you start the camera app while holding your phone in landscape mode, orientation if fine. If you start it in portrait mode, then it rotates for 90* - you can rotate it back to where it should be in just one tap on the screen.
CM9? LDPI UI optimisations suck big time, lacks RAM, needs swap to operate normally on our phone -> LAGS, heavy duty apps tend to crash, the rom itself is bigger than CM7 -> less internal memory left -> sd-ext a must -> more LAG! Not to mention camera... there is some other tiny stuff that bug me, but theese are the major ones.
Gotta screw arround to make V6 SuperCharger working right, no hassle on Gingerbread. Half of apps need to be designed for ICS, GB apps tend to have bugs too, so more and more fails i don't even want to touch on. Does it still have problems when i try another lockscreen style other than default? Accept button on caller reciever screen showing the half only... i just don't have strenght to go on.
Was locking up on my phone pretty frequently, so i returned back. And you know what - with a little bit of time, you can make your Mini run like a completely different phone - i deleted like 20 apps that come stock with official CM7.2 - system is much more responsive and i keep all my apps in internal memory - don't even have sd-ext and swap partitions on my SD card (that would slow up my system since i have class 4 sd card, but it will acctualy slow the system down no matter what card i am using). Slammed V6 SuperCharger script on it - flies!. And, to add the cherry to the cake - i've set cpu governor to ondemand and lowest frequency to 122MHz - happy battery! Don't need to worry if my deepsleep works or not...
Sorry, I just had to write this post, somebody would think CM9 in this stage acttualy is better than CM7.2. I am not saying it can't get better, but you really got to understand that there are no ICS libs drivers for our device, and hacking Gingerbread ones won't make us go anywhere - its like putting a Yugo 45hp engine in a Bugatti... i mean cmon, its better to tune that crappy engine a little bit, dump out the back seats, lighten the body, than to put the engine in the heavy Bugatti. Hope you understood this anology, it really explains the situation about ICS for our device. (yes we have Adreno 200 GPU drivers, but transmission does not make the whole car )
Maybe i'll open somebody's eyes, maybe somebody will hate me, or somebody will find himself insulted - i don't give a damn, the situation is the way it is - there is no way arround it.
Cheers!

I am not saying it can't get better, but you really got to understand that there are no ICS libs drivers for our device, and hacking Gingerbread ones won't make us go anywhere - its like putting a Yugo 45hp engine in a Bugatti... i mean cmon, its better to tune that crappy engine a little bit, dump out the back seats, lighten the body, than to put the engine in the heavy Bugatti. Hope you understood this anology, it really explains the situation about ICS for our device. (yes we have Adreno 200 GPU drivers, but transmission does not make the whole car )
Maybe i'll open somebody's eyes, maybe somebody will hate me, or somebody will find himself insulted - i don't give a damn, the situation is the way it is - there is no way arround it.
Cheers!

GalaxyICS haven't tass yet, so they cannot fix layouts for LDPI devices.
Best Regards
I'm glad you're open for chill disscusion - haven't saw that kind of person for a long time . Hats off!
Community patches... are they awesome and helpfull - yes for sure! But think of filling your SDcard with like 10 patches that you need to flash after flashing the ROM, and the incompatibility that might occur between them - that's not something i want to think of on my "daily drive" phone .
Yeah, they don't have our device and thats really unfortunate - but they will get it fixed. Untill then... again, tiny and undetailed ('cause of ldpi, not nececarily the rom - ICS really wasn't designed with LDPI in mind - but increasing the size WILL help!) icons in the notification bar, and some other stuff is not something that gets me to flash their rom, although i did it, just to see how far they came with developing some other stuff.
For not having the device, GalaxyICS team is doing a really great job IMO, kudos to devs!
I'm somewhat of a person who wants perfection, but this is far from stable, again, in my oppinion. If you can use it - go for it, but i think people are flashing custom ROMs to make their device better in all areas, not just the looks or the performance, which in CM9 roms are both mediocre. Our device is crap, and the moment I (and you, at some point) understood that it's outdated POS, i realised that i can't get much better than this.
Guys, people are begging for CM7 on Galaxy Young - and you were (probably) doing that too. Now we want CM9, and this trolling and spamming arround the forum just discourages the devs and they will eventually leave and get another device for which they will develop roms. Think about it - they are not diretcly paid for their hard work - they pull out some money through ads and such things. Some of them don't get a single penny!
I've written something i did not want to, but hey, i'm not in the mood to retype all this in another shape and form - just fine like it is now.
If you wait patiently (for the OP, and for the rest that are waiting), try out some other roms and tweaks, time will fly faster and you will probably learn some other things along the way!
I've tried some custom ROMs, I've read some reviews from the users of those ROMs. I wonder, why some people gets some bugs, and the others not getting that bugs?
Some people said that 'this ROM is very bad, everything force closes, laggy, blah blah blah. I've wipe data and cache but it's still...' but the others said 'this is the best ROM, no major bugs mentioned so far.'
What do you think makes this things happening?
How i see it is that user try out the ROM for 5-10 mins and don't run into problems and report thigs like this - that everything runs fine.
You should use it for quie a bit to try out every single par of it - maybe you won't recieve a call in that short period, but if you use it for a couple days, you sure will, and then you will notice the call accept button bug for example in CM9.
Also, not every person takes the bug the same way - somebody doesn't mind the call accept button bug, so they don't report it - you can accept the call but... yeah, its a unexplainable bug
This is just an example, many things go on like this. Also for the camera orientation bug in CM7.2 - i was always starting the camera in the orentation that doesn't cause the bug. Never tried to start it when rotating the phone, so i wasn't noticing the bug. Somebody is different than me, he starts the camera with his phone rotated - and poof, there you have the bug every time.
well i have tried almost all roms that have been released for at least a week before posting any review according to my experience even cm7 has a long way to go in terms of stability and performance. what actually happens is that we all keep tryin roms and roms but forget what a rom is made for. choice differs from person to person if i were asked to choose gb ics and jellybean on our mini then i would anytime go with gb. like if you like looks then miui stability stock or stock based customization cm based and so on and so forth.bugs are not in roms but in our mentality a dev works hard day and night just to see the smile on our faces which even he cant see so please dont spam and discourage any dev who knows if all our devs got together they might make a completely new os for our mini. all the devs i am with you and will always be with you.

cm9 nightly droid 3 overclock

Ok I've been trying to overclock this phone a nice how to would ne awsome so Iam running cm9 nightly latest from hash of codes I would like to change cpu speed any way to modify this. I'm not new to android but obviosly am no dev how to use terminal emulator to achive this I'm running the dev/tty the not shure what command to use from there. Or possiblie a module or script to run thnx
Some users are finding they're "overclocked" out of the box on the new builds. If I recall correctly speed is bogomips x 2, so you're already 20% faster than some users. This is likely due to TI/Motorola binning the chips, but it may also have been done to prevent overheating elsewhere in the system even if the CPU is capable. All the overclocked ROMs I've seen have gone as far as the 1.2GHz mark so we may be maxed out at this point due to limitations elsewhere.

thnx for the feedback how do i run the commands in terminal emu
I need to see the code for this
But not shure what to type in to bring up The spot where all the data is stored for the cpu commands or to see the kernel info also I can try to determin from there I'm trying to see if not I got the sbf no worries for me at all any who I'm trying to get all the people together to work this lil thing out of cm9 try to get this going for peps who wanna save battery and go faster. I open chmod in terminal but where do Igo from there or if im even going the right direction please help
You are going to have to build it in to your rom or you can use one of TeamHaters CM9 roms. The kexec roms will not support any overclocking at the moment.

Its been very unstable teamhaters has got any link to the latest one iwould really like to try to find something stable enough a daily driver some one ics needs underclock to save more battery and overclock.to mash out savage games on lol but all in all Ijust wanna fiddle with my droid lol
Geez, why is people so obsessed with overclocking?
Why don't you wait until we have a more stable rom?
Is not like a couple of hundred of mhz are going to make much of a difference at this point.
N do ithashcode xt862 cm9 nightly overclock with terminalsessed with overclocking?

Cuase to further play aka tinker with phone also to save battery with undervolt for instance but all in all to say Idid it lol gimme a reason why not lol.there is a reason for sbf cdma workshop lol and other tools hmmmmm you got any other interesting things for me to laugh at just write so now back to gettin this to do its oc and undervolt. Stuff some one out there's got a crazy brain help us out here folks to see if it will run stable enough and truthfully my new friend oc could reall bump my output for running 20 things at once lol but in all seriousness Iwant to prove to steve at cyan its ready for it beyond that to get a module script or something out there to satisfy the hunger for oc and undervolt its amazing what the kexec kernel has achived so let's push the envelope we need to get the little extras out of it

Yes, of course, you're sure leading the innovation and development.
You're just a spoiled brat asking for something you don't fully understand.
Overclocking our device is not going to make great differences now or even when it's stable.
To "run 20 things at once" we need RAM, not processor speed.
Overclocking doesn't save battery either.
Why do I even bother.

The argument of getting tasks done x% quicker while using 0.x% more battery etc? Just noticed my xt860 is reporting 1.2ghz max in system tuner etc.
I just wondered since some people said it happened to them and not me.

Some CPU's are marked at e-fuse level to be not stable on speeds higher than 1ghz on the factory, and the kexec kernel seems to be addressing that, according to a comment made on the kexec rom thread.

Ok so I ran a different rom and made shure I had a butload of stuff running and I mean a bunch gran theft auto nova 2 all kinds of stuff and at 1ghz and got a bunch of lag then bumped it up to 1.2ghz and how about that a lot less lag the extra .400 helps process the full load so as award spoiled I work stupid hard for what I got and everyone I know can vouch for me on that its a blessing from god the things I have anyway this pissing contest is over let's try getting this done guys it would be nice to run overclock for more responsive and fluid user interface

Spelling isn't the problem. Try some punctuation.
Because cm9 is meant to be stable and fast. Since various devices react differently to being overclocked, it would introduce instabilities in some devices. That's why the performance section of settings in cm roms says, if you change these settings, do not file bug reports. Once kexec cm9 is fully operational, im sure someone will build a oc kernel
