Been using LG P990 ( Gingerbread ) for nearly a year. Recently I noticed the phone
seems to slow down. Just to open the Message folder or Phone dialer
it takes 20 seconds.
I wonder if a hard reset is needed from time to time for Android phones.
Or it it due to too many applications ( over 100 ) being installed on the
device ?
I used Anti Virus scan, Memory boost and other tools to clean up the
memory. But of no use.
Appreciate any suggestions any of you may have.
Thanks
You don't need to hard reset, just find out what apps are messing up or using a lot of RAM. RAM is the key. Have at least 100mb free and phone is fast.
I had this problem. Used a ram optimiser then eventually had to hard reset as all interal memory used up. Works like a harm now and gps also working. At same time i upgraded battery to a gold one. Phones like this are not built to last... the solid state memory itself wears out..

Try Custom ROM.. usually has better memory management. or maybe supercharger will help
Ninjas are creeping into your room at night and underclocking it 200mhz at a time.
After 5 minutes of flashing Stock rom my 2x was already like a slow motioned grandparent, so I strongly suggest you a new rom.

Which version of the stock rom are you on? From what I heard v20Q is pretty slick.

I have used all sorts of RAM optimizers, memory boosters etc..still the result is only tentative. After a while some of the programs start by themselves and run in the background gobbling memory. I do wish there is some tangible solution to this problem as I am sure many others are also facing the same problem of slow response and low memory reserves.
Yeah I'm on CM7 Nightly and my gf is on stock galaxy s 2 and her phone is amzing quick and no lags or nothing.
My phone is meant to be souped up and it's really poor now :-(
Search for V6 Supercharger it really optimizes your memory usage.. If not helps then do a clean install of a more stabile rom.

Can't find V6 Anywhere in market?
because its not on the market. because its not an app.
you need to download terminal emulator (or script manager) from the market, then look up the v6 script here on xda (we have a port of it in o2x dev section somewhere) and just follow the instructions.

Search for zeppelinrox's thread here in XDA, download its latest version (PDF format), run script manager, choose the downloaded PDF file, run as root (skull icon), and follow the instructions. One of the most, if not the most important tweak released for android imo.

I have stock V20Q with a Flix123 performance pack, no custom kernel no custom rom, and am very stisfied (smooth, efficient, no bugs).
I tested all the roms available in XDA dev (CM7, CM9 and custom stock) but no one is stable and full functions like the 20Q one. If you start with these roms and have probles is better that you give up.
You may update your rom and baseband using LG Mobile in your country.
In order to have better efficiency, I also freezed in Titanium backup some unused system applications (kit auto, google talk, f-secure antivirus, Email, backup, LG PC suite); no antivirus installed, installed only the used applications and not the nice to have ones, no application killer (android take care of freeing ram).
Ok I found it and followed instructions but got an AWK error message!
What do I do now?

Do you have Busybox installed? Did you run it as root? Cant think of other problems.. That's all you need.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Yeah i did and do.
Says can't determin the busybox version!
Reinstall Busybox, or try a different version of V6.. That's all I can think of. But if your phone is really messed up then I'd consider reinstalling it first. With a Titanium backup it would only take an hour. Still better than suffering from this.

Hi All,
As I can see that no matter which ROM I install in my X8 the phone will be great in the initial days but it gradually slows down as days go by.
So can you all list out different methods to keep the phone fast and snappier without factory resetting it?
Thanks,
Well first thing that comes to mind is a reboot. But i guess you've done that. Clear cache?

Ram manager didn't work for me. I use supercharger. I'm not saying it's better, just my preference. Well, fef (flush) works. I haven't experienced a major decrease in performance since using it. Hopefully it works for you too.
But still, i've found rebooting your phone every once in a while helps.

It isn't a good idea to mix scripts.. Use one only for performance tweaks..
So either use Ram Manager Pro or supercharger..
My preference is Ram Manager Pro because you don't need hubble telescope to read the settings and apply the tweaks..
Reset factory settings
Cachemate and similar apps work for me, I clean cache every 3 days and phone is never sloved

How about a custom kernel. That may speed your phone up and give you the option to overclock and undervolt. Both will make it faster. But the x8s hardware is outdated anyway. Won't be long 'til it's on the legacy devices list :laugh:
Hey theres one simple solution..use good task manager.......and use swapper........

Use swap IF you're on custom kernel. DO NOT use a task manager.
Either way, your phone will gradually get slower unless you do a reboot at least.

Just reboot. Rebooting stops all cache. You could clean database and wipe dalvik cache too

This what I did...
I use FroyoBread v23b (Great rom, hanks to doixanh), I did that:
# Just install the necesary apps. Don't install all the aps, I just have Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, SMmagager and root explorer.
# Install modules and scripts. I recommend you Supercharger, do a overclock (Not to high, just the enough, like 691mzh)
# Like the other guys say, Clear the cache.
# Use a simple launcher. Like LauncherPro, you can do nice things with that launcher.
# Disable the screen animations. You'll gain performance but loose visual attractions. If you don't want it, dont do it.
# DONT USE TASK MANAGER. The simple answer it's, leave Android manage the RAM.
# Use a light and simple theme. Like system theme of Gingerbread or Motoblur.
Here in the forum you can a lots of launchers, modules and more, just use the search tool.
This is I remember what I did, my mobile fell so light and quickly, no lag in the scrolling.
Sorry for my bad english :silly:
I think u didnt factory reset a once.
Thats why rom lagging. Do it for ur sake

Reset to Factory Setting / try to re-format your SD Card. Don't forget to make backup
There is a dudy way to got the phone to new condition.
Backup ur current rom with x-recovery
Fully wipe data
Restore that rom from x-recovery.

Try in settings development option show processes and check which one are using your cpu. Then google on proces whats its related to, if you cant see immediately which app could be causing lagging.
Also, another possible cause, did you change governator?

With ICS and above, you have to patch framework... try search for 'autopatcher' but you need a Linux district or cygwin... pdroid2 can be included the same way.

Now, here is a guide.
V6 supercharger is highly unacceptable to me for jellybean. Never use it. Unless in gingerbread. Thats a foolproof way to escape its consequences.
In 4.0 and above, try your best to use pimp my rom or, use the rom just by itself. Note that 4.1 in terms of frame speed is already tweaked by the source codes itself. Or, if you want to use a tweak you found, see the base android version used to test it. That way, if the tweak is based on jellybean, feel free to use it on CM10! Unless stated incompatible with jellybean
Will not try it(v6) again. Phone wont turn on(stuck at boot). Had to wipe data/cache/dalvik.

Hi,
First of all if your phone is rooted , try "greenify" , you can find it in the playstore . it will increase your games speed .
Try also to install a costume ROM (modified system) . try to choose a ROM for gaming . if you use an external SD card remove it , it make the device lagging ....
And remember to clear ram before run any game.
That's it

alaataj14 your adivice are messy and wrong so if you don't know what you're talking about please do not reply.
These are all the steps I think can make the Galaxy Ace a fairly good gaming device
1° step: Install a custom ROM that allows you to get better performance (CM 7.2 is perfect)
2° step: Install script (like FlyOn mod) to increase overall performance of the system
3° step: buy a class 10 sd card so the access to game data is superfast and reduce lag
4° step: use Seeder to reduce lag and Greenfy (works only on Android 4.0+) to freez all the apps running in background using ram and cpu
5° step (OPTIONAL): do some overclock to get a bit more performance out of your device (must be at least 100mhz to see a strong difference)
6° step (OPTIONAL): make a little partition (128/256 mb) for swapping with a low priority (30 is perfect) so if some android core process are running in back ground can be stored of that partition increasing the ram availability.
That's all
OK so i see a true gamer here
Fly on mod, Overglock just 928...
No money for SD card...
But i looking for the other steps, thank you very much bro
And i dont think that the PAC Rom is good anymore cause its lagging...u know? So thanks a lot

I am on latest stock indian jellybean rom, unrooted. My Note has become extreeemely sluggish and it takes ages to open apps. For example, if I am listening to a song, and I try to tag it with shazam or sound hound, they take ages to open and by the time the song has already finished. Secondly, when my friends ask me to click a pic of theirs at any moment, it feels very bad that the camera takes ages to open.
I want to know, if I root the device, and use the greenify app to freeze unwanted system apps, can my phone become reasonably alright. Also if I want to root without flashing any kernal or roms, is it possible. PLease help !!!
I think you should smash you Galaxy Note.
I don't know what a "Kernal" is but if you want to stay stock why dont you just reset factory settings from the phone setting, it will be as good as it was when you bought it.

Sorry , but I think you should just flash it to AOSP roms . I experienced what you are currently having right now the sluggishness , it's all Samsung's part to blame , they ruined the Jelly Bean for the Note 1 , I can confirm that ICS was running way smoother than JB too!
Even tried Custom TW rom with JB , still the same laggyness , opening the Gallery app would take a long time compared to other roms. So my advice is to just ditch TouchWiz Jelly Bean for the note 1.
The answer to your problem is simple. Install sweet ROM version 10 with c.o.h kernel and greenify. Then install nova launcher if you want a butter smooth ui. My phone runs like lightning...has great battery life as well. Stock Samsung roms run like crap as they want you to buy a new phone.
Slim Bean 2.0 is your friend. Android 4.3.

ICS is the only way to go for smoothness. I use 4.0.4 LRK
Sent from my GT-N7000
Use ics if you want stock experience as well as smoothness. Stock Jelly bean for note is total crap. And yes, use a different launcher if you want to preserve 100 mb RAM.

I went for P.A.C. running 4.3.1, and it's a world of a difference! Battery is great, performance is great, and has so many features that it's so much fun to customize.
I do prefer stock, but ICS has that scary bug that can brick your phone and JB for the Note is like a sewer. Thankfully my company is giving me a S4 Mini in the next few days...
The phone is easy enough to root - two files in the main int. memory directory if I remember correctly, and boot into the normal recovery mode to install them.
CM10.2 ran very well for me. Stable, better battery life, more responsive (for a two year old phone anyhow).
I'm currently on PAC as well because I like the extra options, but the cost of these new toys does seem to be minor stability issues, although that could be in part due to the number of memory intensive apps I tend to have running.

Instead of freezing them, just uninstall using tb so will free some space in the system partition. Use the supersu.zip file to root. File can be found in many rooting tutorials in the forum.
