I discovered that if I adjust my screen sensitivity under clockwork mod recovery from "default" to "sensitive2" it will cause my captivate to seriously lag. It makes almost everything go hay wire. This is just a resource for anybody else who might have stumbled onto a lagging problem.
I am using the corn 7.06 kernel(thanks mtcarey) and the legend 3.7 ICS ROM(thanks crt60), I have my governor as smartassv2 and my I/O scheduler as SIO. My LMK is at 70mb, instead of 48 default (this will probably change depending on stability).
My captivate has run smoother than it ever has on these settings, with lots of the bloat removed as well.
Can anybody else confirm this?
Corn 7.06 has CWM v5.1.0.7
Yes, I don't think it's lag, but rather that the sensitivity is just messed up. I would check the corn thread, as others may have had this reported.

Thanks, I checked all through the thread corn development thread and couldn't find any posts... I can't post there yet cause i just joined and nobody has thanked me, otherwise I would've posted this there.
I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but the boot time was much longer and every interaction was super slow, like homescreen transitions and such.. I just called it lag, there may be a better name for it...

Are you interested in going into clockwork mod to try and see if you can re create the issue? I'm curious to know if it's just my phone + tweaks/setup...
I can agree, at the moment I want a stable phone, I use my phone too often for school and stuff to be worrying about errors, besides finals week is next week for me so i need less distractions... I'll wait till I see a smaller bug's list on the ICS rom threads. I want to try it out, but i'm gonna wait.
I don't seem to be getting any lag after setting that tweak. I also have my LMK set at 78, but my governor is set to ondemandb because I found that smartassv2 would be slow to wake up from sleep and ramp up the processor.
Hmmm.. That's interesting.. I wonder what was causing my issue then. I'll try some of the other sensitivity settings later today when i have more free time.
I also tried changing the init.rc tweaks to the system corps tweaks and i got a similar lag which was immediately fixed by switching to no tweaks... I wonder what I'm missing here... If i don't have, any of these tweaks on my captivate is super smooth
Thanks for all your help!
At the moment i seem to be good at finding problems... As time goes i should get better at fixing them on my own and then i wont post silly questions.
Again thanks.

I think those tweaks in tandem with screen sensitivity may be doing something. I had maladroit.tweaks on when this happened
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
I wasn't using both at the same time, i used them separately. I'm just going leave it be for awhile i think. I'm so happy that it's running so smooth compared to before it was rooted and de bloated.
I'm probably just gonna wait till ice cream sandwich is more stable, or i have a new phone, then I'll mess with that.
Maybe I'll just wait till the galaxy S III. Anybody else excited for the possibilities of this new phone coming up? I guess that would be something for the questions forum though.
If you've got the time, can anybody give a brief description of what these init.rc tweaks are supposed to do as a whole? I read the system changes of each in cwm, but I'm not sure exactly what they do. It's fine if you don't answer, i know it would be a long post, i just wasn't able to find an explanation. I'll thank you if you do give a good explanation though.

No, i just now found out about thunderbolt...
I'm pretty stock, i'm on RFS, legend 3.7, corn 7.06, the only tweaks I've kept were the LMK and changing the I/O scheduler and governor.
Thanks again for all your input, i'll hit the thanks button for you guys. You're great for helping a beginner learn for the first time.
I have Thunderbolt tweaks in my ICS ROM. Not sure if they help. AOKP and kernel developers added their own support of these tweaks thru ROMControl, NSTools and Semaphore app. SQLite rebuilder is nice I guess. Zipalign is useless - all apps already zipaligned.

I have tried the other Kernels available , Genocide, Twilight etc. The performance gains are real and it is amazing what the developers are doing.
However I have significant instability with these Kernels compared to Stock. I use my phone for business and stability is #1 priority for me. The only fix I really need is the skipped key press bug. I am running stock now but the keyboard is unusable without the fix.
Would one of the developers that knows what they are doing have time to compile a stock kernel with only the skipped keyboard fix implemented?
Thanks!

I'm like you, I want stability above all else and I only wanted the skipped keyboard fix. I don't care about overclock/undervolting and what not. Just want something stable. Although this kernel has some other minor changes, it's pretty much stock.
I just flashed this kernel this morning and haven't had any issues thus far but it's only been a few hours.
I'll report back tomorrow and let you know if I run into any issues.

Just wanted to say thanks again for compiling that kernel. Downloaded voodoo controller from the market as well. Didn't realize what I was missing as far as sound quality!
Not to rudely question your decision, but have you tried any customs that support voltage control? (Currently only genocide, but twilight is promising it soon). I used to have terrible instability, but it was because my phone couldn't handle undervolting... genocide + voltage control removing undervolt fixed that.
On a side note, if you decide to try genocide make sure you go to the end and look for the 1.0.1 test build, it fixed the kswapd0 high cpu usage bug (rare, but definitely made the phone less stable). I've had 18 hours of perfect uptime (not battery of course) since installing the update, and I have large tendancy to max out my phone.

I'd like to have stock, ext4, and keyboard fix. Stability is my #1 priority as well...that being said, I'm running the Genocide kernel at stock speed, and it seems pretty stable. Been using now for a matter of weeks.

Thanks.
I posted it here because I am asking about LG G2x users. In the script thread, you won't find questions about specific devices so much. It's more on how to install, what does it do, and so on.
I tried it didn't bootloop or anything but I didn't notice any difference in performance etc.
I just started using the V6 supercharger about a month and a half ago on my LG G2x and have loved it. before this i was running minfree to change presets but I like V6 because it has lots of options for those that don't fully understand what the presets do. If you use a low setting you probably wont notice much of a difference and I must say that I notice the biggest difference when I am overclocked and using V6 at the same time. If I'm not overclocked and using V6 I don't notice much. same thing when I am just overclocked without V6, not much of a diff. Both together seem to be great.
Also to those with boot loop problems - how long are you leaving your phone before you decide it has looped...a few times i have just had to walk away from my phone for 15-20 minutes just so I'm not tempted to pull the battery and every time i have left it alone i come back to everything running fast, smooth and stable.

Yeah, "I get a performance gain when I'm overclocked with the script, but get no performance gain without OC and the script" so that would be the placebo effect.
However, V6 SuperCharger does work very well at setting the right OOM groupings and also makes everything a lot smoother for me. I'm underclocked to 750mhz and get the performance of the stock 1ghz.

Eh, maybe, if you're on a lower end phone, I think the effect would be more noticeable as well, it would also be noticed if you ran alot of apps at once since multi tasking will take up more RAM than for someone like me who listens to music and browses the forum and maybe uses maps if I don't feel like paying attention to where I am at on the bus.

All true, but in hypocrats case it is complete placebo since he is using the lower setting.
He says he notices a performance gain with overclocking and the script, but none without overclocking and the script. Performance gain was all overclock.
But the higher settings work well, the script makes everything smooth, even for me at 750mhz, and will fix OOM groupings.
Maybe, but my battery life is better in standby and I have less issues with the stock internet browser. Below 100mb free and it became very buggy for me. I would love it if everyone shared what rom they are using and their settings. I am using close to the recommended settings.I am using New Clip (weapon based) and #5 unleaded.
Howdy, So I just got my first smart phone a few weeks ago, the AT&T Skyrocket. Kinda odd since I have been in IT works for many years that it took so long but could never afford the upgrade, my cars sap every spare penny lol.
After getting the phone I spent a few days getting to know it and then rooted it so I could use Titanium backup.
Now long story short due to an unrelated issue with ATT they sent me another phone to fix an issue I told them was on their end (and sure enough, it is, I think I figured it out though, anyone else get charged for a text message when the ATT family map "pings" the device?).
So for the time being I have 2 skyrocket phones and figured this was as good a time as any to try out another rom/kernal on the 2nd phone in case I don't like it my phone will remain untouched (I am picky about how my computers are setup).
So that is the history lesson, I have read sooo much the last few weeks it has gave me a good handle on the general process ect. My issue is picking out an actual rom/kernal to use, I have read so much they are all just one big garble of random info and I could use some advice to pick out what would work for me.
Here is what I want out of a rom/Kernal:
Clock speeds/voltages unlocked, I am an oldschool overclocker so naturally I feel everything can be made better.
Better battery life, Right now the battery life is ok but a bit too close for my tastes and I also feel it is just draining too fast for what I am doing (about ~8-10%/Hour average).
Some improvements like the light meter being linear vs having big steps would also be nice, I know the sensor itself can do it from the the screens but the software just goes in steps I guess.
Stable! I want something rock solid stable that I can count on for a long time to come.
Thats about it, The stock rom works fine for my needs minus those complaints. The clock/voltages being the biggest complaint if I had to go with only a kernal to keep a stable ROM.
So what suggestions do ya'll have? Is there by any chance a modded stock rom that is just debloated ect but will still be stable, that would work nice if it helped battery life some combined with a kernal I think.
I don't mind trying a few combos of roms/kernals but only have a week or 2 before I have to send this phone back and would need to fully test each one so I figure I only have time to do that on a handful in that time frame (I am very through)
Rom I have no clue what would work best for me. Kernal the Faux looks pretty good for my goals but I am not sure.
Any advice would be great.
From personal experience, anything made by forum member mhx is incredible. His ROMs are always super stable and and stripped of bloat. It also has the best battery out of all the ROMs I've tried.
Mhx's Gingerbread ROM
Mhx's ICS ROM

That brings up another question I have. I keep reading all this stuff about ICS but have not been able to figure out why it is such a big deal. Looks like just a different theme to me or is it more then that?
Is it more like going from windows 95 to 98? Or like 98 to Windows 7?
Is it worth going with ICS over the gingerbread?
Lastly I notice that they say they come with kernels, Does that mean I have to use those kernels? I assume this is not the case since you are using a different kernel but better safe then sorry.
Thanks for the help!

It's more than that. It's a lot smoother and faster, better performance in everything, hardware accelerated UI, better multitasking.

Yeah, I am starting to see that.
Back to the issue of the 2nd core going offline, After some playing around the only way I could seem to get it to come back online was to install SetCPU along with fauxclock. This seems to make the 2nd core come online but I am worried that running both apps will cause issues with them fighting over who has control?
I much prefer setCPU for the clock speed controls due to the profiles I can create but no voltage control. Is it possible to use the faux for voltage and the setCPU for clock speed control? Or am I asking for problems?

Definately asking for problems. Only use ONE cpu controlling app. SetCPU does have better profiles but fauxclock has a few. Which rom were u using it with? It does disable the 2nd core by default to save battery, but enabled it as soon as it is required (i.e. games and/or benchmark.) TO check run a force close setcpu and run a benchmark, then home back to menu and run setcpu, it will show 2nd core as active.

I tried that, the 2nd core stays offline no matter what I do unless I run setcpu.
I would just run setCPU but then I would not be able to undervolt. I wounder if I could use one of these scripts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20946429&postcount=574
That would take care of the undervolt and then use setcpu to handle the clock speeds? That would seem to be the best of both worlds.
not recommended. Use system tuner instead. It has almost as much profile control as setcpu, but the voltage control of fauxclock. It also has an option to force both cores online.

I tried it but didn't care for it. Still didn't have the profiling options I want. I like the setcpu since I can set it to have different CPU speeds at different times/situations. Maybe that is not worth the power savings. Whats wrong with setcpu?
I also had the same problem with system tuner as well, it would not bring the 2nd core online.
I'm looking for a kernel or kernel tweak to fix an issue. My issue isn't with how fast games are running (I can drudge through the bits of lag, its not that bad) or the screen freezing. Its with touching the screen in two places at the same time. I've read about the touch screen CPU spikes, where every time you touch the screen the CPU jumps to 100%. Which would make sense to why when I'm playing games the button pad (on the right side of my screen) hits the corresponding button I'm holding down on the directional pad (on the left side of my screen) and visa versa. Thus making most games, especially games that require jumping in certain directions and hitting two buttons at the same time almost impossible to play.
Currently I'm running backside iho cm7.2 and I'd love to keep this rom so I'm looking for something compatible. I've already tried flashing 4 other kernels and got stuck at boot and had to restore each time which is why I'm not just trying kernel after kernel on my own and looking for recommendations. I'm not really worried about much else in the kernel besides fixing the touch screen bug, overclocking over and governors like performance, smartassv2 and conservative.
Or if there's a script I can run to fix this that would be wayyyyy rad also.

If you want the fixes to that kernel, then sure
Can you give me a link to his kernel? And what fixes did you want to see?
Looks like you want a CPU spike fix, axis inversion fix, and the governors you mentioned?

I linked the rom and kernel in the first post, they came together yeah I pretty much just want the multitouch to be better so I can actually play games that require me to touch the screen at two places at once haha
Thanks alot man I've been on the compatible kernel search for a couple weeks, dunno how many times I had to restore cause it gets stuck at the LG splash (I've even let it sit for over an hour just in case)
If there's anything you can throw in there to improve performance that would be rad but it's not too big of a deal, only game that really lags bad is GTA3

Didn't have much time, so I just attempted to fix the lag and the multi touch problem. As promised, the kernel is here:
http://code.google.com/p/sweetnsour-kernel/downloads/list
Look for VM670-version1-CFS. If I get the time, I can improve it some more, but for now, it is just going to be a fix for the two problems. As for the governors, the governors that you've mentioned are already included, unless you were talking about an upgrade for the governors.
Hopefully I compiled the right kernel, as bobzhome made different branches of the kernel. Please tell me how it goes
So I tried it and I can't tell anything is different :/

Sorry, now that I think about it, the touchscreen driver I put in that kernel is better suited for ICS. I'll have another kernel up with a different touchscreen driver tomorrow.
Uploaded a kernel with the same touchscreen driver, the reason being I don't believe I compiled the previous kernel with the touchscreen driver. I believe I just gave you the same kernel that you had before. Please try it now and tell me if anything has changed.

Good science. Any worthwhile experiment needs a placebo in there, somewhere.:laugh:

Unintentional though
Alrighty so I have been busy and haven't been able to tinker with my phone, but I decided to try it again today, cleared cache and dalvik and flashed it, booted up normal after usual amount of time after flashing. Once booted and as usual adw ex and everything else on link2sd wasn't there so I let it sit for like 20 min and rebooted, which usually gets adw ex and link2sd to be back up and goin smooth, but the phone never booted again. Got past all the usual boot stuff but just sat on a black screen (through the entire movie prometheus haha) so thank god I made a backup to restore cause I tried a battery pull a couple times. Sooooo I dunno what's up

Completely developed on the device for the device. Not one computer was used.
IF YOUR BATTERY LIFE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU IN THE WORLD THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU!
Battery life hasn't been thoroughly tested and not expected to be great.
Welcome to ROM ZERO.
ZERO was developed for one purpose. SPEED! You will open apps, download, install apps, and browse the web faster than before. This rom is based on USABILITY SPEED and may not show in benchmarks. It's two totally different things. Battery life is not expected to be great but hasn't been tested so please Don't complain about your battery life. I would like some feedback on the battery life but as I said, don't expect much.
This is a stock rom lightly debloated with a few nice tweaks. I have added my yamato performance edition tweaks and some scripting in the frame buffer to help speed things up. This will give you higher frame rates in games and overall speed. Lean kernel is preloaded and completely over clocked including the GPU out of the box. There is no need to lkconfig. The GPU governor is also automatically set to performance mode. There are alot of adjustments made to this rom for speed. It's FAST.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
De-odexed system with ODEXED apps.
Lightly debloated.
Black & white toggles.
Black status bar.
4.2 keyboard.
Menu to kill.
Holo & stock TW launchers.
Adjusted Bluetooth for quicker connections
Complete rewrite of the build.prop and included all of my HWUI settings for speed and a better visual experience.
Frame buffer speed adjustments.
Full HW rendering.
GPU over-clocked.

READ CAREFULLY!!!!
I am NOT responsible for you device. Flash this rom at your own risk!
*ISSUES*
Setup Wizard not loading properly. Hit home button to bypass.
INSTRUCTIONS...
1. Flash in recovery
2. Let the rom settle after it boots. Don't touch your phone for a couple of minutes.
3. Spend your 15 minutes and set your settings and whatever else you usually do after you flash your rom. THEN REBOOT. Things will get even better.
4. Enjoy.

Yes I have always wanted my very own Internet. .lol
Installed this a few hours ago, been playing with it nonstop since then. I love it, but the native wifi tethering does not work. Is there a workaround for this that I'm missing? The wireless tether apps on the market don;t seem to be working, even with changing some settings. Thanks!

I'm going to guess I got a bit carried away with de-bloating. I will check it out. It's something I just never used but I will make it work. Sorry bout that!
Ok I just checked out native tethering but couldn't find any problems. What kind of issue are you having with it?
Not having any luck downloading through the link in the op. Keep getting a downloading error. Is the file hosted anywhere else by chance?? Thanks!

I just posted a dropbox link in the op. See if that works better for you. The original link is working fine for me though.
I can start the hotspot from the status bar on top, but when I connect to my phone, get either a Limited Connectivity error or no connection at all. I can take some screenshots when I get home if that would help, maybe the app has an error log that I can find.
Just flashed, had no issues. Everything seems nice and smooth. Its also visually very smooth. Coming from clean ROM I would say as far as "speed" at least opening apps and such Clean ROM is faster, but Zero is very fluid. No issues with lag. I havent tested much else. So far so good though. Nice work and thanks! Its been kind of quiet on the forums since the S4 came out.
Unfortunately I found an issue this morning with some of the scripts loading. This rom is currently not running as I intended it as far as speed. The update tonight will be a huge difference in performance! Sorry about the bug.
Version 1.2 released.
Fixed scripting.
This will be a noticeable improvement!
Thanks for your patience.
I would love to know what battery life you guys get with this.
Downloading now. I have a gorilla gadgets battery 4500mah idk if that'll be much help tho.

Crap thats a big battery. How much time do you usually get out of that?
Nice! Could you possibly remove Backup Assistant from settings? Always bothers me.
EDIT: Also, it's not allowing the setup wizard to complete. This is the only way to get my apps to auto-restore so could you look into it?

Well it's obviously easy enough to remove the app itself but removing the tab from the settings menu isn't something I have ever dove into yet. For me it's a bit complicated and over my head right now. I'm going to have to read up on setting tabs and learn a bit more about it. Probably in version 5.0 lol.
Edit @Your edit..
Darn another flaw! Ugghhh! Yes I will.
