Hi.
I'm on the stock gingerbread. Have root, v6 supercharger script etc. Working on stock ROM and lg Launcher.
I'm wondering what these lines :
" hs.systemserver=64m
hs.com.lge.launcher2=64m "
In /system/build.prop means, and what effect it can do. I reduced heapsize from 64mb to 36mb to avoid freezes during a heavy multitasking. I use multitasking option in supercharger script. I use some background apps, and there is annoying freezing, and phone is not responding like if a ram policy was bad. It happens under the heavy usage, while using heavy apps (more than one) Phone sometimes reboots during this long freezes, and sometimes after long time wakes up with a screen that some app is not responding (then I kill it and phone is fine)
Can I delete these lines in build.prop ? And do it help in anything?
What else I can do?
Do anybody have an idea why stock GB ROM lags from time to time, and these lags are quite long if happen.
The reason I don't want to change to a custom ROM is that I want to have some things that are stock (dialer, lock screen, notification bar etc.) I would change if they work on miui, or cm7 became stable..
My stock gb rom is fast and not laggy so it's probably an app in background hogging up cpu or ram. Try using a task manager to stop apps you don't need from auto starting and then reboot.
If you are rooted you can also stop lg bloatware from running too.

Yep, i'm working on it, stopping a bloatware, using different Launcher, and uninstalling unnecessary and possible lagging apps.
But, i'm afraid that either there are some malfunctions in the stock software, or I have this occasional lags and memory issues because I didn't do a wipe after the update from 2.2 to 2.3...
No person with such issues that sometimes an app is not responding and Android hangs, lags, not responing, and reboots ?
I must check deeper my problem... Maybe too many apps installed and running in the background...? I will check.. Cause it annoys me quite a bit.
I didn't do a wipe but when I did a factory reset things improved a lot except battery issue which is sorted now so maybe try that option?

As far as I know to Wipe means a factory reset, so I think its the same thing.
You tell that the battery issue is being sorted out by LG itself,.or you mean that there is a solution here on xda forum? Any help will be appreciated. My battery life is fine but reading the battery usage is really messed up on every GB ROM I think. That is what they should work on..

Hey guys,
I have my Nexus S (9023 variant) for some good 4 months now and I'm still quite happy with it!
Running unrooted stock 2.3.4 version.
However, I seem to feel like the phone is getting a bit jerkier / sluggish than it used to be before. I've noticed an increase in battery consumption of the Android OS process (not the system one) as opposed to before (like in a 100%-0% charge, it used to be 1-2 minutes, now it can go up to 10 mins time usage).. Sometimes going from one app to the other seems to have a noticeable lag. Sometimes the Google Music player is just slow to start playing... sometimes even the swiping of the home screens dies.
Also I used to have 2 days battery life and now some 1.5 days (which forces me to charge every night).
I would suspect than an increase on the Androis OS process would mean an increase in internal task switching.
How can one alleviate the problem ? Is there a way to sort of "cleanup" the system ? Does it degrade over time needing a factory reset or something ? I have some applications installed (some of them I hardly use though) but I suspect that even though those optimizations have their notifications disabled, they can be reacting to some kind of low-level OS events..
Anyway thanks for any thoughts guys!
What ROM are you running? And I would suspect that apps are the main problem if it persists after a reboot.
Stock 2.3.4, unrooted
Guess it's on to uninstall some apps then
Factory reset would solve all your problems I assume. Pity you are not rooted so you can back up your ROM.
I'm actually thinking of rooting soon, because I made some video recordings in a concert and they were plain horrible (distorted). So I might try to install a kernel with voodoo.
I guess I can always manually backup for once...
I have the google services backup activated... doesn't it mean that I can restore all my apps after a factory reset ?

You can use that to clean up your caches. I suspect a lot of programs installed or one or a few that are pulling your performance down. You could go about this in a few different ways. One is to uninstall everything you've downloaded from the market. That should give you a boost. Or you can start uninstalling programs one at a time until you see your performance increase then that's your culprit. Another idea is to delete all your SMS, MMS, and voicemail. I've seen people with hundreds of texts that after deleting them, notice an improvement.
A cache and dalvic cache wipe would help speed things up. Hopefully that market app above can do both. Normally done through a custom recovery.

Nice ideas guys!!
Think I will try to install titanium backup and backup my apps. And since I'm on it, I will also root my phone and install the net archy kernel cause the last time I took my phone to a concert I ended up with 1 hour of unusable footage due to sound issues.
Howdy. I've had my Skyrocket now for a few weeks and loving it (previous Iphone owner). One issue though..
Sometimes when I close an app the desktop doesn't show any widgets/icons for about maybe 5 seconds then they come back. Not end of the world I guess but annoying.
Any way to fix that? Maybe it's something to do with memory management?
I'm using standard ROM, I rooted to remove all the bloatware and running JuiceDefender. I tried disabling juicedefender but I still get it.
I have four pages on my desktop, nothing too fancy, some icons, some widgets.
Thanks
Eckythump
Which launcher are you using? I recommend freezing juice defender in an app like titanium backup and rebooting phone. If problem persists, it's something else. But if you're running stock rom I'm fairly certain its JD
Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue forever. I am using my Google nav app and all of a sudden it freezes barely updating with CPU @100%. I have tried different options using 3g instead of 4g, not using bluetooth, not starting nav when CPU is busy nothing has worked. All of a sudden either at the start or during a navigation session the CPU will go up to 100% and the app will stop updating and if I am driving I left without directions until I reboot. Huge headache. I used different system monitors like 'WatchDog Lite' and 'System Tuner' and those apps say that the most CPU consuming process during that time period is 'Android System Process'. I have no clue as to what 'Android System Process' is doing during that period of time except it is taking a large amount of CPU.
Only option left is to overclock, upgrade to a faster CPU from Verizon or go to Apple IPhone
That's strange, I used the navigation all the time without a problem, besides slow locks. Have you tried clearing the app data, sounds like its the app itself misbehaving.

I haven't had an issue like that and its definitely abnormal. Have you tried installing a ROM like Tweaked or a kernel like PBJ?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I had the same problem before I rooted and installed my first ROM. No problems since then. Recommend you root, install Tweeked or Eclipse and PBJ, also don't undervolt too much. You're headache should stop. I haven't had that happen to me in long long time. I'm a truckdriver and use the maps quite often.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I had the same problem star up all of a sudden a month or two ago. Google maps would just close by itself, and nav would freeze while driving. While messing around one day, I ended up having to wipe my phone and ODIN stock, re root, and put Tweaked 2.1 ROM on it again, and restore all my backed up apps. To my pleasant surprise Google maps and nav are working flawlessly now.

I have been partially able to fix the problem. One I downloaded Copilot Live as a navigation app which uses offline maps instead of downloading maps on the fly like google nav. However, still my phone used to lag close to 20-30 seconds when I would go to my home screen and similarly when I went to my application lists. I was using Seepu so I could see that my CPU was at 100% all the time. This led me to believe that there might be an issue with my SDCard and hence I downloaded sdbooster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=en .
I saw an amazing performance improvement after I set the cache size to 8192 mb and the lags all but disappeared. However, still when I am on my home screen it sometimes lags 5 seconds which is still infuriating. What the heck is it doing, is it reading apps from the disk?
Lately my Nexus S has been behaving oddly. It's slow to respond for simple things like opening up gosms takes 10-15 seconds at times, pulling down the notification bar takes longer than normal and when it gets slow it tends to freeze up while loading whatever I have asked it to do.
I figured it was just jelly bean causing it to work harder than before so I went back to gingerbread (CM 7.2) which I had on it before and it used to be pretty snappy, but alas the issue remains. Very sluggish and freezing up.
On top of this my battery now does not last more than 4 hours when it used to go a good 12-13 hours and the phone gets very hot at times, I can feel it in my pocket when it heats up.
All of this has been happening the last 4 days.
So far I've tried doing a factory reset, a full wipe and re-flash, fixed permissions. Nothing has worked so far.
I am on the CM 7.2 kernel, Right now the only apps I've installed are the google apps, thinking it may have been a rogue app, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas what the issue may be, or is my dearly beloved Nexus just taking it's final breaths? lol
Install OS Monitor and see which app or process is eating up the cpu. Most likely the media scanner is running with an almost full sdcard. Also try to reformat your sdcard, back up first though.

My SD Card has only 2GB used at the moment.
I installed watchdog and this morning I see 3 alerts that the Gmail app was pushing the cpu at 63%. That's the only app that shows heavy cpu use.

That's weird. Try uninstalling Gmail and see if that fixes your issue. Then you can reinstall it from the PlayStore.

So gmail was the battery killer in this case. I removed it then reinstalled from market and it's normal again.
My nexus is still vsery sluggish when opening and using apps. Even typing this now it freezes up and skips letters.
Also the phone is quite hot to the touch at the moment after doing a reboot about 5 minutes ago.
Any ideas?
Hi,
What JB ROM were u using? What kernel?
Because JB is smooth as heck for me and I've tried a few different ROMs.
It could be ur apps notifications or the animation on the app drawer.... or other transition animation. Just turn them all off.
Try clearing the cache and data on some the app under "manage app" section.
Crack up the CPU if u got a lot of data being used in the background such as email, gmail, goggle now, etc.
Heck find some time to reflash the ROM u like, but run it without adding anything to see if it starts out sluggish. If so then its the ROM and or kernel.
If it starts out smooth then add ur apps and background data one by one to see what is hogging the CPU.
I'm running codename android with air kernel(stable) and I have minimal or no lag at all.
Slim bean with air kernel also runs smooth.
Good luck

I've also read that if u were a flash a holic u may have some unwanted data on ur SD card that being read by the android system.
So copy ur SD card to ur computer and format the SD card.... then only add the ROM zip files onto the SD card for a very fresh I stall.
Good luck

I tried androxide and the 99% google experience JB roms. I then tried CM 9.
All of these were sluggish, freezing up constantly and running very hot.
Since my last post I have gone back to CM 7.0.3 which is the rom I was running prior to trying JB.
This rom runs smooth, very responsive and the battery life is great.
Go figure I guess.
Tried a couple of different ROMS out there, and I'm still getting frequent pausing, temporary locking up on my Gtab when trying to open apps. Am I rushing the poor old guy!? Usually it starts responding again before I even hit "wait" but the frequent pop-up when it slows is really getting to me. Anyone experiencing anything similar? Any good fixes???

What roms are you using? I had this issue with the last dirty bean but get it much less if at all with the 120dpi smoothbean. You can change the governor settins under settings/performance/processor as well as limit background processes to 2/1 that seems to help. I laso turn off sync on gmail which helps.

1. Try Advanced Task Killer and hit the widget button to nuke the memory hogs. There is
a lot of people who dont recommend task killing as a solution, but it seems to get me past the
force closes.
2. Try an old froyo rom like Vegan or TNT Lite 4.4

Recently I was having similar problems with the gtablet slowing down a lot, so I started uninstalling some of my apps.
I had about 220 apps with Application Storage at 212MB free. I messed some uninstall and got into a boot loop.
At which point I did a factory reset. The factory reset ROM was a lot faster. So when I restored my apps and settings
froim Titanium backup, I restored about 120 of them with Application Free Storage at about 700 MB now.
All the slowness of apps and market have gone away.
So I would say if you see a lot of Force Closes or hangs especially during Market Update, considering cutting
down on the number of apps you have. The key metric to see if you are getting full is the
Settings->Storage->Tablet Storage->Application Storage (for Froyo ROMs)
