Contacts, Performance Issues

This may be a stupid question and it may be because I'm running a custom ROM (NATF 4.2 if I recall)
When you are on the Phone Screen there's no button, menu option to bring up your Contacts List! Did I miss it?
When scrolling through the Call History, the entries overlap making it unreadable until you scroll up.
This may be because it is a phone and not a PC, as I had this issue on my Tilt, but this phone seems to be really slow sometimes. The main nuisance is when you slide the keyboard out, sometimes it takes forever for the screen orientation to change. Lots of lag starting apps. But hey, how much processor power can you get in a phone anyway? Got to live with it until they make better/faster chips. But the lag when sliding the keyboard out is killing me.

The newer ROMs should be some speed increases since they're built on the newer base.
I would try NATF 4.4 or the new 4.5 if you like his ROMs. 4.4 was very quick for me when I used it.
How many contacts do you have? I have about 100 and I've never had a problem.

My main question is where the heck is the button or menu option on the phone screen to bring up the contact list? I must be missing something as that is probably the most useful thing you would want to do on the phone screen.
I was reading posts on 4.5 and it appears to have a few significant bugs. I think I may wait for 4.6, or if 4.4 has less bugs maybe go with that?

Do you have an SD partition? I think you have to have one for this ROM, didn't think to test without an SD partition. A2SD is baked in. It would be great if someone could confirm this, cuz I don't wanna delete my partition lol.

Well in SS the a2sd version will still boot with no partition but it will reboot upon installing a app.

If you guys have problems with a ROM: BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE AND IT IS MORE LIKELY TO GET SOLVED. It's not just my ROMs we are talking about, we can't help you if you are vague. And logcats are the most helpful thing if you have a problem that is not in the OP. We are here to help but you have to help us to help you.

Well put, I used to hate someone saying this is broke and leaving it at that. Because 75% of the time its user specific or created so its hard for us to track down what happened. The standard for reporting bugs should be
The security type of phone eg s-on/s-off
Wipe process( most important part of flashing)
If the md5 was checked and matched. If anything else was restored in recovery or flashed with the ROM. But that's my opinion

Yes definitely. The more relevant information provided, the easier to diagnose the issue. Then formulate a solution.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11

Thanks so much for this, much different than the stock GingerBread I just replaced.
I've only been using Android about 6 months and was running a rooted stock kernel and dodgekernel, but I have to say this build feels much quicker and looks much slicker and has a very nice kernel built in.
I don't know if I was just behind the times or what but is that really just a skin/look change on the Play Store? It's extremely different and very nice looking to what I was using before (and about 10x faster).
I did run in to a couple issues, that are probably just user issues.
I've reinstalled all the apps I was used to but noticed that starting up a navigation, or music file or inputting an address doesn't bring up the prompt I'm used to of "Which application should we open this with". In fact I cannot find where any default tasks can be assigned anywhere. Whenever I go to manage applications, "Launch by default" always says "No defaults set." for every single application.
Another oddity that I think is related to this, when I hit the 'action'/'smart' button my bluetooth it just goes 'dut-dut' and does nothing.
I'm pretty sure Voice Commands is installed, but it won't come up and now I've installed My MotoSpeak and that will not respond either, and I think this is because I cannot choose that button as a task and nothing is set up by default.
Thanks for the help and the nice build.
EDIT: I just noticed that the CM10 roms says that "BT call audio." could be a problem. I know that is a whole different animal, but could that be an issue here as well? Its odd, my BT will play media music fine, but will not play phone/call audio correctly, just hear a buzzing.

There are ICS/JB themes you can download, but some of the theming is within the ROM. As for BT calling, I am only able to test BT by sending files, I no longer own a headset (My Planatronics took a ride in the washer).... Speed is what I shoot for on all my ROMs

Also... Did you restore data when you restored your apps? If you did, reflash and restore apps without data, it might fix your problem.

Absolutely agree :good: . A Fresh CLean install when first flashing a Rom will avoid a lot of issues. It may take more effort, and time. But it usually gives the best results.

I actually didn't know there was an option for that, how would you go about doing that for future reference?
Whenever I run a new rom I wipe data 3 times, cache and davlik and start fresh.
I don't use that many apps anyway, just some key ones every day for the drive, so only takes about a couple hours to get set back up and much of that time is just experiencing the new rom and finding what's different.
Yeah speed is incredible, I mean my old kernel was ok when run at 1.5Ghz, but that stock htc launcher or whatever 2.3.5 had would often 'spin' for 5-10 seconds when just trying to switch apps or multitask. There were other instances too, just felt like I/O speed was much different.
I'm sure it helped to not have any of the Sprint/HTC cruft to deal with, but especially navigating apps in the launcher, multitasking and browsing Play Store are beyond incredible, basically instant. My wife finally played with the new rom a bit and said she thought it was just 'too fast' compared to her 4s, she just "didn't like it". I have no idea what that means, but I for one love the speed. I don't need it to be slow to convince me it's working .
This is also my first time using link2sd, I didn't know about it with my old rom and was perpetually with ~40mb left (and a full SD). My trial of the rom and adding sd-ext was because I finally upped to a 32gb and decided to look around while I was upgrading.
As for exact issues: Pressing the 'smart' button on my Bluetooth headset does nothing, getting me 2 quick beeps.
Voice/phone audio through my BT will not work. It's odd because all media, music, text to speech, everything else works fine, and the microphone works fine for voice recognition, etc.
But when on the phone, it sounds a bit like when a phone is half off the hook, a steady, kinda staticy tone and every now and then a juggling/clunk sound (reminds me when someone on the other end played with hanging or half hanging up the receiver). I can switch to headset or speaker while in the call and both are fine, and bluetooth goes silent while in the other modes. It's crazy though because I will hear my gps speak to me overtop of the staticy 'lack of phone' while on BT.
The first issue I fixed: After much internet searching I found other users on ICS experiencing the same issue with the button and they suggested downloading Voice Control Test. It sounds odd, because I've downloaded all sorts of stuff and they work but I have to touch the screen to start them. But just as was reported on the website I found it on:
1) Install Voice Control (Test)
2) Start it up
3) Press the button on your BT
4) MAGIC, suddenly your phone brings back the old Gingerbread option asking which App you'd like to use to complete this action and you can choose to pick a default too, my choices were Voice Control Test or My Motospeak, for some reason stuff like iris and jeannie were missing, but regardless, I hit default, My MotoSpeak and now my 'Smart' button works fine.
5) Un-install Voice Control, button keeps working fine.
Also I haven't tested entering a GPS location yet, but I was playing with some other apps and again was prompted for that other action. This might have reenabled the old prompting for various commands somehow.
Also, I noticed that there was no option for 'Voice Command', which most forums seem to suggest is the old 'built in' app that ran when you pressed the BT button. I'm not sure, but that basic issue might just be that no default app was installed to begin with, but it is annoying that installing something like My Motospeak doesn't help and there's no way to manually set this to the BT button 'action'. Maybe having something lightweight like Voice Command in the rom by default would be a nice feature, the same way you have that light term emulator there by default.
Any thoughts at all about phone audio over BT? It seems so odd since media works and seems more difficult, like maybe an issue with how the dialer is handing off or passing the audio stream to the BT. Maybe there are other 'dialers' in play store, I'm not that familiar, but this seems like it'd be in a common piece in the rom that handles phone audio.
For now I'm going to try to get a voip/sip set up and see if that works, might be nicer anyway because then I can use data while on the 'phone' finally on Sprint.
Thanks again for the work on the rom.

If you are using Titanium Backup it restores app data by default, there are three options near the top of the screen when choosing apps to restore... Thanks for the input tho, it's something I don't really think about because I no longer have a BT headset. I'll have to look into it... Too fast? Lol there's no such thing.

Extreme Lag, plus other issues since Jellybean Install

Purchased my Droid Razr HD on launch day and I must say I was in love with the phone on ICS. Was extremely excited when the JB update hit. But since I updated, my phone has been a complete mess. I have been patient in hopes it would fix itself, but below are some of the issues.
When I unlock the phone, the clock in the circle widget lags, so I will unlock, it will say 2:00 for a solid second or two, then update to 2:10. The time should not lag like that. It basically lags and adjusts every time I unlock it. If I haven't touched my phone in 45 minutes, I'll unlock, it will say 2:00, then two seconds goes by and it updates to 2:45
When I hit messaging to view my texts, all of my contacts show up as just phone numbers, then after a few seconds the names load. If I scroll down further they are still numbers then switch to names.
The browser goes unresponsive. Everything from inability to swap tabs, to hitting a link. Usually I'll force stop chrome.
Overall the entire phone experiences major lag issues. Typing, swapping apps, etc... Anyone else experience this? Could the phone have just downloaded the OS poorly?

It's seriously making me want to dump this phone.

Indeed there is lag. Here's a funny thing, I get lag using the stock launcher and swiping the page from left to right with the any of the stock image wallpapers loaded.
However, if I use a live wallpaper (say Phase Beam) the swiping from left to right with the live wallpaper active is blisteringly quick.. How fcuked up is that?

I am having the same issue. I factory reset the phone before flashing JB. I also have times that the phone is completely unresponsive and requires a hard reboot. Any ideas?

there is definite lag when scrolling over to the quick settings page, idk why motorola can't get that fixed. My big complaint is the lack of stock android browser. I hate chrome, its slow compared to the aosp browser. I actually bought another Galaxy Nexus and am going back to that. Will miss the battery life though. You could always use the utility in the dev section to go back to ICS though

I used the utility to go back to ICS. I didn't have lag issues, actually my phone on JB was much faster and smoother. I went back because of all of the features missing from JB. For instance:
1) Motorola keyboard (much better than the AOSP keyboard in JB IMO)
2) Manage internal storage feature (gone in JB)
3) Wired headphone equalizer in ICS works on anything coming out of the headphone jack. (In JB it only works in the music app)
4) Also there is a bug where if you are listening to music through headphones and get a text message, the notification only comes through at less than half volume and there is no pause in the music. I have missed several text messages because of this. Even if i know the sms is coming through and i see it appear on the screen i still can't hear it over the music
I'm sure there were a few more things i am missing, but those were enough for me to switch back.

same lagg here
on ics, adw launcher heped with my lagg, but on jb, doesnt seem to matter what launcher i use, lagg everywhere. unlocking is annoying and sms app takes a bit to populate. cant wait for a solid cm 10.1 for this. I feel like its the only fix.
I would have thoght since motorola is owned by google, the os would be as good as the nexus. NOT even close

Not the ideal solution, but have you guys tried doing a full wipe factory reset and/or wiping the cache partition?

My Razr HD has just started developing a "dim" screen from waking after a long period. Not sure if this is software or hardware, it doesnt happen all the time - maybe once a day - but I have to go to the display settings and check/uncheck the auto brightness box to fix it....
Any of you out there having a similar issue??

I installed nova launcher prime and it is extremely smooth.

What? I tried to get to the stock recovery, but I cannot seem to get past the "dead android" screen no matter what button combination I try.
Edit: you have to be really precise when holding down the volume up and down buttons lol

Is it hold down the power/lock button, then tap volume up? Think that's the combo on my Nexus S

I've been trying to figure out this lag thing too...I really dislike lag. I disabled Google Now & disabled the Verizon Apps as previously suggested. I also think I may have found something awesome:
It may be premature, but I believe I've found a way to get rid of almost all lag. I installed this apk called Seeder.
My lag pretty much gone. I've been disappointed in EVERY Android phone I've ever had (because of lag)...this seems to have fixed it.

I installed the leak the second it was confirmed to be the legit Verizon approved build and the lag for me was comparable if not slightly better than ICS. Nova Launcher is good though, you lose the settings menu that always lags the first time you swipe to it, but you can replace that with Power toggles for the pull-down menu.
What you're experiencing seems much worse than what I remember because the phone was still highly usable, just not perfect. I was never a big fan of Circles, even after removing it from my home screen it would find its way into my list of running processes till I froze it with titanium backup. I froze virtually all the Verizon crap that'd run constantly too and the phone has been nearly flawless since installing Nova.
Also came across several sites I need to access for work that render horribly slow on Chrome like Hawaii'sVIP, it just chugs along like a slide show. Dolphin Browser on the other hand renders heavily populated pages almost instantly. It also looks truly hardware accelerated during rapid zooming and scrolling, where Chrome often jumps around and loads the page in chunks.

stock 4.4.2 bloat causing UI to lag in LinkBubble, touch-typing; until 'clear RAM'

To be precise, this isn't an issue of not having enough RAM (500MB free pre-clear), this is an issue of "some LG apps" causing touch-input-handling to 'slow down'.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/how-to-replicate-ui-lag-smoothness-t3083557
since making this post, I found myself disabling and uninstalling many stock LG apps (Weather, Unified EULA, Slide Aside, Smart Screen, License Provider, LG Backup, Dual Window, LG System Server, LGATCMD Service) all the way until I got to com.lge.provider.systemui, at which point the notification bar stopped working (lol).
The REASON I did this was because each time I found the lag, I also found the corresponding app/service using about 10% CPU when watching it in OS Monitor, and kill/resetting it in OS Monitor would solve the issue.
You can replicate this most easily by installing LinkBubble and when the UI seems to be going a bit slow, opening it up-- and then drag the bubble around. You should see it tracking behind your finger, but if you follow it with your eyes, you won't see it tracking SMOOTHLY. Then, clear RAM/recent tasks, and try again: now it tracks smoothly.
The reason this is a big deal: the thing that causes LinkBubble to hitch along as it's being dragged, ALSO interferes with tap-typing on the keyboard, causing keys to be misread or, in the case of a swipe-style keyboard like Swype or Google Keyboard, to interpret fast typing as swipes for a word.
Has anyone else experienced this?
This happens on a completely stock ROM install.

The app is great, but doesn't work well on my xiaomi Mi8 Lock screen. Works only in home screen. (Miui global 10.2)

Thanks for the support - I've been looking into getting certain features to work with different manufacturers. I'm leading to believe mfc like XiaoMi and HuaWei use different lockscreen frameworks that cause the AOSP wallpaper flags to fail. Hopefully in the near future I'll find a solution.

Hey OP great work! ?
One suggestion I have for improvement is to have night mode feature where it only takes dark images at a specific time interval.

Thanks! I love this idea and I've been researching about it, but it slows the image search down by a lot. It'll come around eventually, I just need to find the best way to implement it

Nice app,dev!I have a little request:can you make wallpaper to change everytime you turn on the screen like in 500 firepaper app? Thanks anyway

Good idea, I'll see if I can add something similar. I forgot about 500 Firepaper, Chainfire did a really nice job with unique features

One more request : Can you please add option to manually change to a new wallpaper using some finger swipe gesture?

Possible BAD Bug.
Pixel 3XL here, not unlocked and not rooted...just pure android with Feb Patch.
Downloaded and installed. Let it change my wallpaper a few times. Then hit change once but then hit the home key during the change....I guess it was going through the process of changing the wallpaper as my wallpaper went from a graphic to black...and then the whole screen on my Pixel is black. Nothing. Reboot, google boot screen shows...then bam, BLACK screen. You can tell it thinks it's displaying a screen (lock screen, unlock with fingerprint gives haptic, etc) but it's all black, no words graphics nothing. Rebooted into Safe Mode....still solid black but says "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner. Eventually just had to factory reset via Recovery and phone is working perfectly fine now.
Not saying it was your app, but yours was the only thing I had downloaded in over a week....and I was literally using it when it happened. Still though, love the app!

Damn I had heard of this with another wallpaper app but this is a first with mine. My deepest apologies if you lost any data. I'm putting this first priority to make sure it doesn't happen again.
My guess is SystemUI ran out of memory and crashed, and sometimes it takes up to 20-30 seconds for that service to get restarted - hence the black screen and device still responding to the fingerprint.
I'm going to PM you so we can try and figure out more of the details.

I had the EXACT same issue on my OnePlus 6. I had to do a factory reset as well. Lost some data that I hadn't backed up in the process.
 @chibichuba

@nightfireblaze8
I have sent you a PM with a few questions, hopefully we can figure this out. I've also opened a ticket with Google, I believe this to be an issue with a native Android library
@LiquidHonesty
PMs are disabled on XDA for you, is there another way I can reach you?

No worries, I had a fairly new backup but lost about the last month's SMS even though it claimed I was backed up. LOL no biggie.

Same thing happened to my phone last night on Pixel 3 XL . Changed the wallpaper then screen went black and phone rebooted to recovery screen saying " Cant load Android system, your data may be corrupt. Giving me 2 options Reboot or Factory data reset. Rebooted like dozen times even in safe mode but no luck. In the end i had to factory reset and loosing my important data as there was no way to backup.
Not being rude but there is some really bad bug. Other than that the App is really awesome.

I've been researching this issue over the past few days and I've come to the conclusion that this is an issue with Android's SystemUI, specifically with devices that have updated via OTA.
As much as I want to think that I can fix this, I have noticed this issue mentioned in every major theming service and wallpaper app and has to do with how AOSP variants handle SystemUI changes. This app actually doesn't touch any part of device storage or the system partition at all, Android system does all the work and my app just sends the request to do it.
In the meantime I've tried to mitigate any possible causes by limiting maximum image sizes and setting strict resource management for the app.
Changing the wallpaper more often on these OTA-updated devices seems to increase the chances of encountering this issue, but a Google Product Expert gave the advice to use Rescue OTA to prevent having to factory restore, found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJMlZ1aEliVnhMOHM/view

@nightfireblaze8, @LiquidHonesty, @cheemacool,
Were you guys using the stock Dark Mode/Automatic theming on your devices (for the Settings app, quick settings drawer)? I've been in talks with a Google team member and we're narrowing down similar factors.
