Hello, I've been running xboarder56's rooted GB OTA (not the tweaked one) for about 2 months now with almost no problems. However, my phone slows down and starts getting laggy to the point of being unusable after a day or two, and the frequency seems to be increasing. I don't run many background services. Only rebooting fixes the problem temporarily. I'll try to load a webpage on either opera mobile or the stock browser while listening to music and the music starts skipping and popping while the page loads slower than usual, but after rebooting it's fast again with no skipping.
I've been searching the forums and Google and seen a few others with this problem but can't find a fix for it. I've tried clearing the Dalvik cache (with NVflashed CWM) but it didn't seem to help any. Is this a common problem with LG-based Gingerbread ROMs, and does anyone else here still have this problem? I started having this problem after running my last ROM, CM7 RC1 after a month, and when I switched to my current ROM I did do a full wipe/factory reset. I'm thinking about trying the new-ish CM7.1.0.1 stable ROM or Weapon G2x and am wondering if those have this problem as well. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!
I have honestly had that problem with every most roms I've tried at some point. Maybe not instantly, but it will eventually start to slow down like you described in which i have to reboot.
Dang. Do you think a fix actually exists for this, or does everyone have this problem? It's strange since I can't find much discussion about this.
It sounds like you have an app gobbling up memory and not releasing it. All Android phones such be rebooted around once a week to keep things nice and tidy.

That's the issue I have with any 2.3.3 builds. But with 2.3.4 straight for 2 days now, hasn't experienced this issue yet. Unlike 2.3.3 that even within a day, it needs a reboot. I think there is a problem with LG's memory management.

If I flash CM7.1.0.1 stable, will ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.7 that I flashed for the CM7 RC suffice? Or do I need to update that too before flashing? Sorry to drag the thread along.

It should work fine flashing any zip, but the 5.0.2.0 version of CWM is far better. Flashing it with the One Click tool is a no brainer. Go ahead and update it. It will only take you a few minutes of your time.

Do you have any evidence to support that? From what i've read android is made to run better when more memory is used.

I never had to reboot my Nexus One, or even my T-mobile G1.
I've tried just about every rom for the g2x since i got it about a month ago and they are slow down. I'm not on the 2.3.4 rom and it started out great; now its almost unusable.
Anyone know whats wrong?? i'm about to call t-mobile and try to get another phone. I don't understand how they can release phones that just don't work. How can my single core 1ghz Nexus one be faster then this dual core 1ghz phone?
i'm just on stock and i have to reboot my phone every single day or else it's not useable. i have like zero apps on my phone almost so i know that can't be the problem, it's ridiculous

Good to know it isn't only me. I'm trying some more tests on my phone to see whats going on. I think i'm gonna call tmo soon and see what they say.
i'm sure they won't have a good reply for you but definitely share with us if they do! i understand having to reboot the phone like once every three days or so but every single day is totally unacceptable

Did anything ever come from this? I'm completely stock, just got this phone the other day. This phone lags harder then my HD2 I just had, which I would have kept if the digitizer didn't go out.
Are you guys on stock? If so then i highly recommend going custom. LG can't code for crap, so lots of stuff that was wrong with this phone has been fixed in the recent custom roms/kernels.
I've had the same issue until i recently switched to Phoenix Blood rom. I recommend it if you want to forget when was the last time you rebooted and still use the phone buttery smooth. I am using Faux kernel and the ROM is rock solid for me. Recently ran and the V6 script(instructions are on the rom's page in development section) with it and now it's even better! Give it a try you would love it;-)

Yeah get on a ROM without any LG coding or framework. If you guys prefer a more stock 2.3.3 feeling I would suggest Bionix Reloaded.
I make it a habit to reboot my phone every night before I sleep.
Wanted to let the 2 or 3 people who read this to know my consensus.
I've tried most the droid charge roms and some of you might not have.
I Odin back to the first froyo and let the updates occur all the way to 2.3.6. Than loaded clockwork recovery through Odin (with auto restart off). Booted phone into cwr instead of booting into os. Than I flashed the superuser zip file in recovery.
So now I'm rooted stock rom and its running the best so far. GPS locks on very well but caused issues with 4g data. Almost flashed 4p radios back into it but than I disabled gps, ran speed test and speeds were good again. Enabled gps and ran another speed test and everything was gravy. So you might have to disable and enable gps one time.
Couldn't be happier with this build.
Update: I've gotten a couple pms asking me.
After I odin the first froyo build to prepare for all the ota updates I skipped setting up any accounts until the final gingerbread update was completed.

I agree. The only thing I don't like about Infinity is its instability and lag.
I agree. Other than the fact that I deodexed it, debloated it, rooted it, and themed it, my phone is stock.
I can put the original "poop color" theme back on the phone along with hiding certain apps and walk into a Verizon Store and the representative will know nothing about me having rooted the device.
The nice thing about stock is that it doesn't have the annoying lag like roms do. Little things between page transitions. So yes it is a pretty good setup

For those people who do know how to root, tweak, and otherwise customize their phones... more power to them. It gives you, the user, power to do what you want with your device which is what Android is really all about; giving the end user power over their own device.

I always suspected as much, so I decided to flash over to the stock (deodexed, rooted, imoseyon and cwr) and phone is finally as smooth as the day I got it. I love Humble and Infinity but the lag and freezing just started to drive me up the wall. I do miss the widget selector though, is there anyway I can get that back?
yea i had bad reboots and lagg on the infinity ROM...put it back to stock rooted..i dont even want to theme cause every time i flash something **** gets laggy..im over it..this phone has no development, and for as long as its been out thats pretty sad..safe to say we wont get any real development section on this phone...i had the droid incredible and they had tons of development..not hatin on the ones that are developing just sayin..

I ran infinity for a little more than a week. Did everything to make sure it was a good flash (went all the way back to ED1 to ensure I was bonestock). It ran great, and I'd still be on it if I didn't start having issues after flashing a theme and then reflashing the stock rom cause I didn't like it (first hotboot was <5 minutes after lol).
I had every intent on going back because it is so good. But after playing with the stock for a little bit, stock really is smoother. Its not a case of infinity lagging so much as stock feeling much more seamless. Its hard to describe, but you would probably notice the difference if you gave it a shot.
Again, not bashing infinity. I might even go back to it because I like some of the features.
On another note. I tried flashing the superuser zip like the OP discussed, but I lost root after reboot and can no longer boot into CWM. What could I be doing wrong?

You have to odin cwr again, make sure auto reboot is turned off. After successful "pass" of cwr, unplug to power down. You have to boot straight into recovery or else you will lose cwr. Than load superuser. If you don't boot into recovery on first reboot the stock recovery writes over cwr.

That was part of it, the issue was that I wasn't keeping root to change the permissions on the recovery installer.
Turns out, I wasn't mounting /system (mounting /facepalm instead).
Thanks for your help.
Yeah, that's a common occurance among the people who are new to rooting and using CWM. I screwed up when I was first doing this stuff too.

I haven't tried TweakStock yet, but so far self-debloated EP4D has been the best experience for me as well. Infinity isn't bad, but as others have said it just isn't as smooth as stock.
I am using this one to. The rest kind of suck Visual Voice mail dont work be nice if infinity had it working Id be using it.
Noob. How did you load clockwork recovery through odin? I just went back to ee4 now its updating all otas. just wanted to know if anybody can give me a hand. I saw a thread where imnuts put out a download of new cwr but too many problems. bricking etc. I just want stock rooted as above.
I got to say that even with all of the great development here this phone has been overly disappointing..
This is my Wife's phone I use an SGS II. I was going to keep it stock but she was complaining about it locking up occasionally and poor battery life. So i rooted and have had her try out several roms of several flavors, sense 3.0 and 3.5 gingerbread of all sorts, and different kernels and all.. It seems no matter the combo the general use of the device seem sluggish at times.
Her biggest complaint is how sometimes she needs to pull for the notification bar 3 or 4 times before it will pull down.. Whats crazy is non of these issues are present at first, usually do not show for a few days.
I at first thought it was the set up but after so many mixes of different things i checked that off, then i thought it was an app but i had her go for a few days without installing anything and it eventually still happened..
I have decided it either the device just plain sucks or its the sense garbage clogging it up..
Any good ASOP rom recommendations?
Or any recommendations at all? Maybe someone else who had had issues with this device and who has found happiness could point me in a good rom kernel combo for this POS...
Sorry had to vent.. and any help would be great..
No problems whatsoever on the ROM I'm running. Did you make sure to superwipe in between each ROM flash?

No one else seams to have these problems i get no lag what so ever but if your looking for a good AOSP Gingerbread ROM have you tried Cyanogen Mod 7????? or eve MIUI as far as ICS ROM i like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408351
have you tried swapping/formatting your SD card?
other than that, it sounds like you've tried everything...you may just have a bung handset...your problems are not common
I was having some of the same problems. No matter what Rom/kernel combo I had there were bugs. I went back to stock and voila... Smooth as butter. I guess the updates tmo released really fixed all of the problems I had when I first purchased the sensation. I suggest you try it out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I have been using sensation for 4+ months now. Yes the stock ROM is buggy but definitely not as bad as you are experiencing. I rooted and install custom ROM after one week stock ROM usage. May be you can try by 1) factory reset if not fixed then 2) format or new memory card.
All Gingerbread based ROM's are pretty good in terms of feature, performance and stability. For starters you can try insertcoin or android revolution HD. I would not recommend ICS based ROM since they are still work in progress kind of mode. Though most of the things will work with ICS ROM, looking at your frustrating experience I would recommend only GB based ROMs.
All The Best!
Faulty handset.
Get it replaced/fixed.
Never have I experienced any of these issues with my Sensation.
I use ARHD 3.6.x since day 1 and it's still as smooth as butter.
I use Daemon controller to take the CPU down to 1GHz.
I have many many apps installed and have nearly filled the internal memory with a few apps on the SD too.
I have removed a few system apps using root. What accounts are you using on the device? I have heard that a sense account can be a bit of a drain on battery and resources.

I had a lot of sluggishness with stock but now I'm using MIUI and it's really smooth and is better on batt life w/o all that stock bloat nonsense. I don't know why I waited so long to root. Every now and then I have issues pulling the status bar but I figure it's just my finger placement or another app is running a task and hogging the CPU for a sec.

I really think that you guys are just used to a less than smooth experience. and i don't mean this in a bad way. I have not only been exposed to my wife's Sensation but the weird dude upstairs Sensation >though its stock< is slow and choppy and has horrible battery life as well.. just saying its bad when when you take her G2 running a sense 3.0 rom and put it next to the Sensation running a similar rom and the older device is running it better..
OK, So after trying out the CM7 build and now Hypersensation I am going to say even without waiting <but the next few days will tell> sense is what really hinders this phones performance. Totally 1000% more responsive than ANY Sense rom i have had on this device.. still not up to par where i feel it should be but much nicer..
Ok if shes still in cm7 just leave it dont overclock it. Give it a few charges to settle. Everything should work smooth except the video camera. Glad i could help u.

Just curious about what everyone's opinions are about the roms out there based on kk4. I'm on cyanogenmod 7.2 Kang build right now, but after upgrading my wife's phone to official gingerbread I'm thinking about going back to a stock based rom. Seems really fast and smooth. Mainly I'm looking for a rom with the Tmobile theme engine and screenshot capabilities as I'd miss those if I left cyanogenmod. I'm still debating whether or not to go back to a stock based rom.

Go to the market, get quickpic, you'll forget about the stock gallery entirely.
Well really just curious what everyone's using. Honestly there doesn't seem to be as many supported stock-based roms as their was on the earlier GB betas. I always used Cognition, but the most current version hasn't had an update since like July. I'm happy with Cyanogen for the most part, though it seems a bit buggier than stock. Really I just want a stock based rom with the theme engine and screenshot feature.

There are apps in the market that allow this. Shoot me is what i use...it also has a video feature, that will take a screen shot every so many seconds (depending on what you set it to) and then make it an mp4.
Oh and for theme support on a tw ROM, go to the market and get darky ota that should work. It injects the proper images and compiled xmls INTO the existing ROM, I've used it on mosaic, should work on all tw roms, I'd make a backup zip of the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk first though, that you can flash if it doesn't work. Or just reflash the ROM.

Yeah, but no theme engine. You have to flash them. Only the collectives have themes, and the others may have ICS themes.
I've thought about maybe just going to stock, removing the bloatware, installing corn kernal, installing a screenshot program, and then using UOT to get my themeing the way I want and calling it a day. That could work I suppose.

I'm using the KK4-based version of SauROM (note that there's an I9000-based version too, which I haven't tried). It's mostly pretty nice, except that after a full day or maybe day and a half of use, the browser tends to go loopy. It freezes up and becomes non-responsive, and appears to be hogging the CPU, as hitting the home button doesn't repsond either. If I just put the phone down and walk away for half an hour, it's usually fine again when I get back, but I tend to just reboot instead which also fixes it. I find this annoying, but it's just infrequent enough to be tolerable. I've been meaning to try a different ROM to see if it's universal or not.

Well I was on stock rogers 2.3.3. and I found it very laggy. no matter what launcher I used: go, adw, lp, even sbp shell. after a while lag would start up that would require a reboot or the phone would just shut off. Games would start out fine then start lagging. I then flashed cm7 and noticed an immediate improvement with minor overclocking but I would still get that lag, but not as bad as stock.
I then flashed teamhacks 4.0.3 ics rc14. I can never go back to GB. It is so intuitive, very smooth. The transitions are amazing. Even with no overclocking it is miles faster than stock or CM7. I was considering buying a new phone but now I will not be.
Since you are on cm7 now why don't you flash ics . its very simple to do since you already have cm7 installed. then you can decide

Well I was on stock rogers 2.3.3. and I found it very laggy. no matter what launcher I used: go, adw, lp, even sbp shell. after a while lag would start up that would require a reboot or the phone would just shut off. Games would start out fine then start lagging. I then flashed cm7 and noticed an immediate improvement with minor overclocking but I would still get that lag, but not as bad as stock.
I then flashed teamhacks 4.0.3 ics rc14. I can never go back to GB. It is so intuitive, very smooth. The transitions are amazing. Even with no overclocking it is miles faster than stock or CM7. I was considering buying a new phone but now I will not be.
Since you are on cm7 now why don't you flash ics . its very simple to do since you already have cm7 installed. then you can decide

I thought about it, but I'm kind of waiting for stable CM9 to be complete first. I hear it has an issue with rebooting during calls. Trust me though I'm very eager to try out ICS. I ended up going with Illuminance, so far so good. I'm currently restoring all my apps ATM. I'll report back after I"m done.
This is off topic but why is Titanium backup soo sooo slow? Why do I have to sit there and say "install" and "done" on everything? I wish I could have all the time back in my life I spent restoring stoff with titanium backup

I too was reluctant to go from CM7 to CM9, but I eventually flashed it just to check it out, with no intention of staying. Long story short, I've been using CM9 for the past two weeks and it's definitely stable enough to be a daily driver, IMHO. I believe the phone call reboot was solved (I've never had it anyway), the only issue I have had was charge death, but that was solved by switching to the Glitch kernel. If you are waiting for it to be stable, your time may have come
As far as TB is concerned, the paid version lets you batch restore your apps. Well worth the $5 or however much it was.
So far so good on ilkuminance but I miss my screen shot feature, and all the apps in the market suck. Why would I want a camera icon hogging up my screen? Anyway, I may try ICS sooner than later

I ran all of the stock GB roms, was not super impressed with them, switched to the SauROM KK4 and Love it. Very smooth, seems less buggy then stock kk4. Have had a few issues of it being unresoponsive for a minute or so everyonce in a while, but it seems to be rare.
Try SauromKK4 or FastyKK4
Advantage of SauROM is that it is one click Heimdall, and really hard to mess up.
I then tried Fasty - also pretty good.
I got the impression that SauROM is smoother.
But that Corn 7.0.5 kernel is buggy - beware!
I tried a few of the KK4 roms, but eventually went back to CM7 and Kangs because the speed and responsiveness.
Now I have a Captivate Glide and am waiting for dev to ramp up for it. The Glide is what I really wanted when I got the original a year and a half ago, so I am happy.
First off, I'd like to thank the devs for all the hard work they have put into the roms and such. Some really neat stuff. But it seems like every rom I've tried has at least one issue that makes using my phone less than ideal. It is afterall, just a tool to get things done. And I have found that 2.2.1 works perfectly for me.
To be honest, after tweaking 2.2 with Go Launcher, I don't notice much difference between 2.2 and 2.3. Except that it works better for me. Perhaps it may have been my fault, and I'm not 100% sure, but I followed the directions to a T, and still had persistant minor issues.
Again, thank you for your hard work and dedication. It's still a great place to hang out, and I'll probably stick around for off-topic or general phone chat. Cheers and good luck.
Do a complete wipe, including the internal memory... No issues later

There are issues with stock and with development roms, we come here to make a better user experience and if stock works better for you, then go with it

Been there, done that. Thanks anyway.
I'll still be here when curiosity kills the cat. Along with many others. I like you, if you were wondering. Not dumb.. Like too many others.

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I might get the urge again one day, (the linux tinkerer inside will need to scratch his itch) but for now I'm happy with stock. It's all about the right to choose what works for us as individuals, right? Plus, I'm busy testing/bug reporting with Ubuntu 12.04 beta.
Actually, after using stock for a bit and tweaking it, it's really pretty good. It looks just about the same as I had with 2.3.6 tbh. Carry on flashaholics!
Nothing wrong...your good... it's all about your requirements. Stock or Custom ROMs

You should probably stay with stock roms anyway because if samsung was to send out a ics update for the samsung infuse (which I highly doubt) you would be the first to receive it me on the other hand I had to go to custom roms because you can customize it more and I hate touchwiz

They are not going to even roll out gingerbread for the infuse. A few people were able to download it for like one day, then they pulled it. Unless you do a custom rom, you are stuck with 2.2. But that's ok with me. The phone works flawlessly now.

LOL... Sammy release ICS for the INFUSE!!!!! Oh God... I just died a little inside.. Never gonna happen.. the morons can't even figure out how to make Gingerbread work without needing to pull it the same day that they finally decide that they want to do something other than just go right ahead and leak a copy to us...

+ a **** ton Erik
If they released ICS for the Infuse, it would be covered in Sammy's Touchwiz bull****. Not to mention ppl here are donating two more Infuses so that we can get ICS on a hacked up GB kernel. Nuff said...

Well, guess what? It was really bugging me that everyone else was enjoying problem free custom roms, and it never really worked 100% for me. I wound up screwing up my stock install, so I figured what the hell, may as well give it one more try. As I have mentioned in my other thread, besides the usual wipes, I formatted data/cache/system, and now everything seems to be working great. Before I was just formatting system. Could that have contributed to the glitches I had before?
Regardless, it's fine for now, and I'm happy. Plus, I get to use a couple apps that aren't available to 2.2 users.
Well here's a quick update: I don't know, but I think my infuse doesn't like any custom roms. Every single one I try works great for a few days, then goes bonkers. I don't know what else to do except go back to stock. Any ideas?
Edit: could a bad ext sd card make my phone go crazy? It just died on me. I put in a 2gb card for now, and all is well with aeon, but it's only been installed (aeon) for 1 hour. I guess we'll see.
