Yes it is I did notice and lag or ect.
Since then I have rooted the the device and just a little better performance but better battery life.

[Q] Liberty Rom performance setting

I'm new to all of this and was just wondering if anyone has any performance settings (max/min cpu, governor, etc...) recommendations for Liberty rom under the performance setting? I searched the forum and could not find any. I do have the speedy script installed.

Not much point messing with cpu and governer. You can't overclock and underclocking tends to cause instablity.

Ok, thanks. Why did they put the option in there to change the setting if it makes the phone unstable? Glad I asked first!

Some underclocking will work, although from what I've heard the differemce to battery savings is pretty minimal. There is a thread here that has some files that allow some overclocking actually, although it seems most ppl can't manage more than 1.1 without automatic reboot, we can't increase the voltage. Liberty isn't just for the d3, its been ported, so other devices may be able to use these features, also if we ever get the bootloader unlocked it will be very useful.

[Q] Extend battery life - underclock/undervolt

Hello,
I received my LG 4X as a present and I finally replaced my iPhone 3gs. I can't say I am all that excited so far - I've been using android in my tablet for almost a year now and I can't say the os has matured enough. Anyway, I cut to the chase.
My friend has installed something on his S3 that enables him to undervolt/underclock his device. Is there something similar for the LG 4x? Or disable cores and have them enabled on-demand?
Has anyone tried such an app/mod? Does it work well?
Thanks for your time!
if you're rooted, the best app for you is SetCPU.

Besides slowing the device down, does it actually give any battery extend results?
Re
I dont know if all was caused by the external sd card but battery improved since i got CN from dexter and Set CPU
Its not possible to undervolt our CPU since our kernel doesnt support it.

[Q] Kernel for exhibit 4g at 1.8ghz?

hey guys i herd there is a kernel for this phone that makes the phone overlock to 1.8ghz i cant find it can anyone link the thread to me if there even is one thanks!
They were before, but it is unstable and it fried CPU's so the devs dialed them down

I am pretty sure you can still download some 1.8 clockable kernels, just not for 4.2.2

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

Hey i definitely agree... my phone would bootloop if i went above 1631 mhz haha. Hey but i see your using nos. Whats your personal opinion on it, especially considering battery life?

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Thanks ill try that. But by battery life, i meant like does nos make it even worse? Or does it not affect battery life at all? And i have found greenify and juice defender to help A LOT for saving battery.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.

[Q] Most Stable build/ROM for HD+?

Hello all,
Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but I was wondering if there was a consensus on what the most stable/smoothest ROM currently available for the HD+? Currently running CM10.1.3 build based on the recommendation on an old thread re stability, but I bet it can be better. I don't need 4.3 or every feature, stability and smoothness is the most important thing for me.
What do you guys think? Thanks.

Mine does, quite a bit. Once I am watching a video it's great, but navigating around the UI can be frustrating at times, but ok other times. Hit or miss. Better than the 4.3 builds I was on. I really hope the 4.4 builds assist the lag.

What build are you using exactly? Custom kernel? Are there any kernels I should be flashing? What are your performance settings set to? I don't need high-end game performance, I just want to get in and out of apps and navigate the UI without thinking about the sub-par internals.
Thanks leapinlar!

I find that using Greenify helps lower the amount of lag. I'm running CarbonROM 10-31 build with buggy multiwindow. Previous CarbonROM build was roughly the same in performance. At times I'm fine, but at others, it takes a year to open something. I'm hoping that the new compiler, ART, will make things better.

I run CM10.1.3 stable, using the kernel that comes with it and standard performance settings.
But I run at 320 dpi and use ADW-EX as my launcher. I also run my swap zip so that media files get put on my SD instead of internal memory. I also have the SEM32G chip.
I suspect that a lot of users getting LAG are 16GB devices that put their media files on internal memory (the default) and they fill up internal memory (/data and /data/media) so that the device slows down when it needs to write to storage that has been previously used. After all, that is what LAG is.

Yeah I was contemplating trying the carbon builds with the multiwindow but really want to make sure it's stable first. Might just wait for 4.4 builds before changing.

Scrolling stutter in apps like XDA and playstore

I have tried almost all ROMs and facing scrolling stutter in apps like XDA and Playstore...is it just me or with everyone?

i notice it in chrome with websites like news.google.com and xda forums.
there are browsers that are faster that can aid in this issue.
My belief is that it is a ram assignment issue. I think the phone, or apps, limit the amount of ram each app gets. but i could be wrong.

I decided to try an alternate browser softer becoming frustrated with the same issue. In researching it, I ran into a lengthy discussion of the security and trustworthiness of alternative browsers and the developers.
Anyhow, as someone who has a history of rooting and flashing custom roms, I'm prepared to make that leap of faith in the case of an experienced XDA dev. But that's a choice for you to make.
There are a few that have been made available that are based on the same original CAF coding which was specifically written to optimize performance on snapdragon based devices (like the OP3 and OP3T). I have tried one side by side with chrome and found it to be consistently faster to load pages. Part of this improvement is that it has built in ad blocking.
Anyhow, I am now using an alternative CAF based browser as my default and am very happy..

I'm also experiencing this on Lineage OS, odly enough I didn't have this scrolling lagging in earlier builds or before last accidental clean flash. I just thought it was caused by going from F2FS to EXT4 as it kinda started when I did that conversion. But that's probably just a coincidence.

However, it isn't the rom that makes the difference. its the browser. Use yubrowser from the app store first to see if that helps.
As for apps, you won't find any rom different except maybe stock vs not.
I've noticed this too but a reboot is usually sufficient to get it to go away for me. Also noticed improved scrolling speeds on SultanXda's CM13 Rom, however I prefer to run stock myself.

I am not talking about browsers... But the native apps like XDA, Playstore, Twitter....
I know. But it's a start.
Started running citrus-caf. And I LOVE it. And no stutter in Twitter. Or browser so far. Don't have XDA app. But I'm mad impressed

Did you try RR Official? I tried Citrus and had the scrolling issue....
I did. I don't remember if I had the issue. Maybe a developer option could fix it? I use multiprocess webview.
I tried using conservative governor from this trick

And it improved a lot especially in scrolling pages here in xda ?
