Possible solution to PBJ slowdowns - Verizon Droid Charge

I've been playing with why a lot of people are getting slowdowns with PBJ and I came up with a potential solution. I posted this in the Eclipse forums and it is working for there, so I'm posting it here to a wider audience.
I realized that the difference for me may have been the fact that I wasn't running default LMK minfree values. I don't run V6 because that causes other issues for me, I do up the minfrees a bit because I find that helps. When I removed my minfrees and let it use the stock values, I noticed an immediate difference...I noticed exactly what everyone was talking about.
I use Autokiller Memory Optimizer from the Market to change LMK values. It only changes the minfrees and doesn't do the other stuff from V6 that seems to bog me down. Try the "Strict" setting. They seem to be working well for people. I'm not sure if imnuts has reduced the minfree values on PBJ from stock, but this definitely seems to be working for people.

Interesting I tried this, but I can't download the app. It says it's not compatable with my device

I changed the low memory killer settings to those contained in the stock FP1 kernel when I updated it.

Interesting. I'm definitely seeing a major performance improvement by increasing those values a bit. Leaving at default results in things being essentially unusable after a few hours. Bump them up a bit and I'm running indefinitely...I rebooted this morning to install a theme and I'd been running for 5 days without a reboot to that point.

OK, no wonder og 0130 PBJ is working flawless for me.

Send me/Post the values you're using for it and I'll change them in the init.rc so everyone can have it without installing an app.

I've been running 3072, 4608, 6144, 15360, 17920, 20480 in pages (12, 18, 24, 60, 70, 80 in MB). Those last three number are likely a bit higher than they need to be, but I've been loath to mess with what's been working. I'm trying 10240, 12800, 15360 (40, 50, 60) for the last three right now, and I'll report back tomorrow on how it's doing.

The first 3 are the same as they are in stock. I've made the change so that the last 3 split the difference as 40, 50, 60 MB is just over what it is stock, so I set them to 50, 60, 70 MB. I'll rebuild later, likely tomorrow or Wednesday then.

PBJ repack
Did the kernal get repacked with the new values?

I would assume it is not a good idea to use Autokiller Memory Optimizer with Ram Manager Pro installed as they would conflict? I currently have Ram Manager installed and do experience lag occasionally.

I would just like to point out that I had terrible lag experiences with the latest PBJ on stock deodexed FP1. I think I even posted about it here because no matter how much I tweaked the memory/CPU settings, I would still be waiting 15-20 seconds for just about anything to happen.
Now I should also mention that I flashed PBJ without a full wipe.
The other day, I decided to back up all my apps and whatnot and wipe the system, flash stock FP1 and then flash PBJ (still RFS by the way).
Now, my phone runs like it's on speed.
So for those who are having issues with PBJ and upgraded without wiping, maybe give it a shot and see how it works out for you.
Good luck.

Lol.....
Edit : maybe I should be more clear ...
Wiping had nothing to do with the kernel ...

I didn't say it did... point was to illustrate how clearing out the data/cache worked for me. I didn't have this kind of lag on the stock kernel, but I wanted PBJ specifically for Voodoo sound. After I swapped kernels, I was surprised to notice that my phone was basically rendered useless. I mean we're talking literally minutes to complete any operation (even lock/unlock). After a wipe and a reflash of the kernel, all is good.
No need to laugh. I'm not a developer or much of a computer person at all really but I know when something works and I am well versed in the concept of the process of elimination.
That is all.

Just to let everyone know...I changed the minfrees to 12, 18, 24, 46, 62, 78 and my phone has been smooth and virtually lag free

DON'T USE THE ROM, IT IS OUTDATED AND HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED!
DO NOT USE THE "PUV" (Pinky UnderVolt) VERSION, IT WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE TO GET STUCK AT THE SPLASHSCREEN! (POSSIBLY)
I DID NOT MAKE THIS KERNEL, I'M JUST POSTING IT HERE FOR YOU ALL.
THIS IS NOT FOR ANY OTHER ROMS BESIDES CM7 (AND CM7-BASED ROMS) AND MIUI, SO DON'T ASK!
I'm using the UUV CFS version. It is very fast and smooth, I urge you not to have an OC past 1.3GHz as a daily driver, unless you want horrible battery life.
Any option below PUV is safe (UUV, -50mV, and -25mV all work, but every device varies).

lol, iffy kernal. especially with two versions available, its kinda strange testing them and seeing whats best for your phone. flashed the cfs version, and as expected, things seemed evenly smother throughout the phone, yet even at 1.99, there was nothing special or over the top about performance. also, i had a very strange, completely indescribable hiccup after booting.
EDIT
tried the bfs version, and still nothing special. maybe its just me and my miui rom. the 1.99 is cool, but i think im just gunna stay away from this.
Been running his kernels for a couple of weeks, no issues. It is nice to be able to choose from different undervolt versions. Helps battery life a little, around 5%-10% in my experience.
NikolaiT, just FYI this kernel works with Ultimate Droid, which is based on CM7. In case you want to update the OP.

Hardly "iffy", the differences are stated in the thread or here.
I've been using this kernel with CM7 Final for quite some time now and it's been quite solid.

Careful, the PUV version softbricked my device. Easily fixable through reflashing your ROM or just a new kernel.
It may not brick yours because some devices can handle it, some can't.

I've been using it for a while now. At the moment I'm using the latest CFS -25 UV version @ 1305 with the scaling set to Intelligent Donkey (lol) and I actually made it an entire day without charging. That's saying a lot for someone that gets about 12 hours max on a charge.

I'm currently pulling two days at 64% with the same kernel but my CPU settings are 122 min - 1075 max.
So what's everyone recommendations for the best version of this Kernel in terms of both optimum battery and performance?
Additionally... what kinds of CPU governors and max-min frequencies are you using? I've seen a few post what their using in this thread, but I'd like to get some more opinions.
I've been using this Kernel for a few weeks now with no issues. The UUV had some slight hesitation when scrolling so now I'm running 4.3 CFS with the -50 UV and it's absolutely perfect. Fantastic battery life running at 122/1305 MHz with the -50 UV.
i'm using 4.2 and I didn't flash any scripts... is the default -25UV? I'm gonna try 4.3 and -50 script later tonight.
quick question to the group: what is eating up your battery? mine, oddly enough is cell standby and phone idle. i'm using stock radio. in the past (on froyo builds), it's always been screen time.

Default is no undervoltage.
Cell Standby and Phone Idle are my two biggest "battery killers" but that's normal operation.

maybe all of you missed the whole miui thing. it says it works great with miui, but my phone seemed very buggy after switching from cattleprods kernel, but you tested it on very different roms than me. it addition, my quadrant score were crap on both types, cfs and bfs, which is completely contrary to the description of one over the other. so yes iffy.
Can anyone explain the difference between the scheduler flavors? I use cfs, but bfq or io?

Check these two posts: Post 1, Post 2. Looks like BFQ is the standard scheduler and VIO is quicker on paper (kind of like BFS vs CFS).
Thanks for the explanation. The bfqhs seems much smoother than the io. I am running it with the uuv.

Anyone else having tons of lag?

Just a quick question for you guys: I recently purchased an Infuse from the marketplace here, and so far I've gotten an absolute TON of lag using the device. I've flashed Infused 1.5 and Bionix with the Infusion kernel, and so far the lag has gotten better, but it's not totally cleared up. I'm definitely not new to Android, but I haven't seen anything like this before. I know that Quadrant isn't a reliable benchmark, but I'm scoring about 1900, OCed to 1.5Ghz.
Just to give an example: I'm using desktop visualizer to add some custom icons to my screen. When I go to select an icon image, it's fine, but it freezes for about 90 seconds when a list of my apps comes up.
Anyone experience this before? And if so, how did you solve it? If this was widespread, I'd imagine there would be complaints all over here.
Which app are you using to set your overclock settings, how many clock speeds do you have enabled, are you under or over volting, and *which governor* are you running?
I have seen some similar problems here when I was using conservative governor with poor choices of clock speed. Right now Infusion 1.5.2 kernel has some issues with not liking the ondemand governor, so I reduced my number of available clock speeds so it would jump to the top more quickly while using the conservative governor.
Also, did you use either the return to stock, or the ultimate unbrick flash before you flashed your ROM? If it was a used Infuse, I would do one of the above before I start looking anywhere else, then reflash your rom/kernel of choice.
I'm using SetCPU with the OnDemand gov (400/1500), no undervolting. I have a profile set to underclock it to 300/700 on conservative when I'm charging, but that's about it.
I think I'm going to use GTG's unbrick/return to stock and root the thing myself, I figured I'd ask before I did anything drastic. My UI is a ***** to set up every time, and I hate wiping because of it.
Just a quick note, I've had some serious lag using the oc kernel... Like real world usage got worse after oc'ing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Although it is counter intuitive to the way governors should work I have seen less lag on Infusion 1.5.2 when I use conservative. The ondemand governor seems to be having some issues with the most recent update. If you flash back to 1.0 Infusion you get a max overclock of 1.4, but it is much more stable IMHO. Also FFC is presently broken in 1.5.2 and will hard freeze the phone (battery pull).
I'm debating flashing back to community kernel, but I am going to wait and see how long it takes my battery to drain because I am using some undervolting. You might try using conservative governor and only enable 100, 400, (800 or 1000), (1200 or 1300) and 1500. Honestly the infuse is my first smartphone, but I've tinkered with desktop hardware the last 15 years. It literally amazes me everytime I pull the battery out of this phone and feel how light it is.
I also used the desktop vis app and yes it lagged when chosing apps however it seemed to get better after three or four times but that seems to be the only place it lags for me im using the oc-uv kernal 1.0 clocked to 1.4 seems bulletproof compared to later versions im getting great speed and batt life with this kernal but i had the same lag in the same event as you
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I'm going to try bringing it back to stock and re-rooting it myself, if only because I trust myself with adb//scripts/rooting, and I'm hesitant to trust someone I don't know. Lag has gotten a lot better since switching to conservative, OCing to 1.6 and undervolting a tad, but it still lags when opening apps or scrolling through long lists. Desktop Vis is of course, still a nightmare.
Oh well, I'll report my findings tomorrow I guess. Hopefully I'll be scoring higher than the 1700 I just pulled in quadrant.

Do you use spareparts?
usually yes, but I dont believe I installed it yet on the infuse. Why?
lag on stock also
I'm 100% stock & get lag also. Definitely in the situation you describe, when the app list comes up for adding shortcuts to any homescreen. Takes forever for that list to come up. Secondly, simply from running for a while, i have to kill all the apps using the built in task manager in order to get it to run smoothly again. It's like it never closes an app. I'm new to android, but guessing this is a problem inherit to android. Can't see how samsung or at&t could have screwed this soo badly to cause it to never close an app. Hoping memory management is better in Gingerbread.
Blario, you're new to Android, so you need to read up on how memory management works with Android. It's not SUPPOSED to kill apps, and that's not what's lagging your phone. In your case, I'd think it was more of a case of WHICH apps you were running.
yeah, the longer I have the phone the more it lags it seems
probably going to push me towards the Evo3D
If you're on stock and after a week or two your phone gets slow as hell (mine did), install a Voodoo lagfix kernel. All the current ROMs include it.

I don't do much. Twitter, "Web" (some mozilla stock ish), SMS, phone, Android Market app (browsing), and Maps. I've had it lag up using only those. Far less often, I use Yelp... that's about it.
Not supposed to kill apps? When I kill them it fixes the problem. Maybe it *should* be killing apps?? If its supposed to flush their state to disk... it seems to be doing a poor job at it.
I would be suspicious of your microSD card (if you have one). Do you know what class it is? Have you tried removing it and performing the same functions in which you see lag?

It's the stock card that came with the phone. Any way to check? The apps are installed to it... so removing it I wouldn't have the apps available anymore.
A little update: I returned back to stock and re-rooted. I installed 3E, then CWM, then threw on Infused 1.5 and Infusion, OCed to 1.6Ghz and slightly undervolted (about 25-100mv along the range) using SetCPU.
As of right now, it still lags on occasion, but not as bad as it did. Quadrant is giving me a whopping 1300 average score, with a low of 800 and a high of 1600. This is just pathetic.

How I recommend running EP1W

So I know there has been many threads on EP1W, but for what its worth I figured I would write a quick how to on getting a super fast set up using debloated simple TW4 that NEVER has force closes or reboots and remains outrageously smooth and fast.
So fast in fact when I went to Verizon today to check out the bionic, my EP1W charge felt just as smooth.
For starters I downloaded the EP1W debloated leak from TBH obviously.
I odin the leak and Imo's recovery from this thread (I already had the test voodoo kernel on SD card)
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...l-(leaked-stock-repacked-v2.0.0voodoo-9-8-11)
I booted phone initially then installed imo's 2.0 test GB kernel. (let the chipmunks do their thing, let the phone fully boot)
EDIT sorry I'm on 1.0.5 kernal I haven't updated, but read imo's post thoroughly to ensure proper flashing!
Next, and this is where the fun begins, go to hazards [how to][script] thread and scroll down to his second post and click the g-script link, follow those directions to get init.d into your system folder. You will need this for v6 supercharger settings to stick and loopy smoothness to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216098
Once you have init.d in your system/etc/ you can start installing these awesome scripts, follow both the v6 and the loopy smoothness how to's on hazards thread.
Once you get to step 5 on loopy how to, you need to make sure to set your launcher value to :
USER LAUNCHER="com.sec.android.app.twlauncher"
This is your TW4 launcher
Also on another note instead of using option 11 in the V6 script, I recommend option 12, it just makes the launcher even more stable
Since doing all this I have been able to multitask with no hesitation, never had a FC of TW4, never had a redraw of any kind. I really recommend trying this and seeing for yourself!
Also, if anyone else has any other suggestions I am always open to hearing them, I'd like to keep this more of a discussion thread then a how to!

Currently you can't go straight to IMoseyON 2.0.0 Voodoo from stock EP1W (both bloated/debloated). You're going to get sdcard errors. Take a look at the discussion in the very thread you posted.

Yea no worries, just sounded like you were giving a step by step and its a bit more complicated than that.
But on that note, if you're on the old test kernel, you should try out his new true Voodoo kernel (2.0.0) - huge improvement in speeds. If you're already all ext4 u can flash 2.0.0 directly.
Cool thanks ill load try it now
EDIT: Yeah 2.0 kernal is sweet, even faster, which I didn't think was possible!

I have a very similar setup. Installed bloated but debloated using TB. Running 2.0 on kernel. Got SuperCharger v6 installed, but can't get loopy to show up in init.d so not running it. Using Go Launcher. Radio is about as fast as ever. Quadrants of 1921, 2122, 2197, 2204 (in order). Got 160 apps installed. No lag anywhere. Haven't encountered an error in the 2 days I've had it. By far the best the phone has ever run.
Frankly prior to this I probably wouldn't have recommended the phone - THIS is what I paid the money for.

This config is the fastest, most stable setup I've had on any Android device. I was using P3Droid's debloated EP1W. I loved the look and feel, but was getting lots of random reboots. I know this guide doesn't say anything "new" per say, but I appreciate the consolidation of the tweaks.
Thank you!

I have a very similar setup. Installed bloated but debloated using TB. Running 2.0 on kernel. Got SuperCharger v6 installed, but can't get loopy to show up in init.d so not running it. Using Go Launcher. Radio is about as fast as ever. Quadrants of 1921, 2122, 2197, 2204 (in order). Got 160 apps installed. No lag anywhere. Haven't encountered an error in the 2 days I've had it. By far the best the phone has ever run.
Frankly prior to this I probably wouldn't have recommended the phone - THIS is what I paid the money for.

I did similar install but was having issue with constant buzzing and high pitch noise during every phone calls. As I understand it, I'm not the only one with similar issue. Unless you guys choose to ignore it. I had to take it down.

[Q] So hanyone tried the V6-SuperCharger Script already and lived to tell about it?

I am of course referring to this script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I tried to implement it about two months ago, and it did not work for me. Phone went into a loop at boot. I just gave up.
Anyone?
It would be really nice to find out if we can benefit from this as well.

Instead of starting a new Thread why not post in the one you linked to. I am sure the ones there that tested it would be able to help. Any time you post in an old thread it will bring (bump) it to the top and btw it is still an active thread.

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.
Currently running HellFire Phoenix 1.9

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.

Freeze issue on Imnuts' 1/15 kernel

I'm having an annoying issue with my Charge. Whenever I try to record with the Camera the phone just freezes and reboots after about 10 seconds. Yes I'm undervolted, which is what I'm suspecting as the issue but I went into Voltage Control and set the voltages back to 0 and to no avail, it still just froze and rebooted. I tried overclocking to 1.2Ghz without undervolting that clock speed at all(1GHz and below were still all undervolted) and it still just froze and rebooted.
The weird thing is this happens on the stock undervolt settings that the kernel comes with. I'm going to assume Imnuts' just didn't have the time to test all the apps individually for stability issues when implementing his undervolt script. I know it's an issue with the kernel(almost positive it's from the undervolting itself because i had stability issues exactly like this back on EE4 when i would undervolt) because if I reboot and flash imoseyons 4.0.0 kernel recording is fixed.
edit: I just tried removing my Voltage Control boot settings so there shouldn't be any undervolting going on(aside from the stock undervolt script thats included with the kernel) and it still just freezes and reboots. I'm guessing it's either the undervolt script or the kernel itself. Anyone else have this issue? If so how'd you fix it? Thanks in advance.
just tested. i use the default uv settings, oc to 1200.
camera was able to record fine. no freeze.

How long did you let it record? and was it on 1280/720? It usually freezes on me after about 10-20 seconds
I just tried to record.. Freezes after 4 seconds reboots just like you described. Eclipse ROM+PBJ 1.15 kernel. Oh also no overclocking at all for me

That seems to be an issue with Eclipse rom. A lot of people are having that problem and nitro is aware of the issue and says the next version will have a fix.

While I never use the camcorder at that resolution, I tried it now and had the same freeze-up. Running tweakstock (fancy that lol) and pbj kernel - I tried this without any voltage control-style modifications. I have some vague recollection of similar issues at some other point, and for some reason I remember the class of sdcard being part of the conversation... I of course can be (and most likely am) completely off on that, just thought I'd mention it.

I remember that class 2 cards can't do HD video, but class 4's are supposed to be able to. I never do video, but I have a class 4, so I tried to see (on Eclipse) and it crashed to the point of forcing a reboot. Not sure now if it's ROM or kernel.
just tried hd vid. on eclipse w/Imos 4.0 kernel with no problem....
Mine did the same thing and I am just using the kernel and the new eclipse

I have been running the pb&j 1/15 kernel and Infinity rom for a day now with no freeze-ups or reboots. I haven't messed with OC'ing or voltages, just wanted to see if the new kernel made a difference. The phone is now much smoother in operation and quicker in response. Very impressive.
I saw this post and walked around the house scanning barcodes using shop-savvy and had no issues at all. This app does a lot of stuff on top of using the camera and just flies now.
Also getting freeze-up when trying to record HD vid.
Running Tweakstock 1.1 and PBJ 0115
edit: *UPDATE* - I just flashed Imoseyon's 4.0.0 kernel to test, and HD recording worked flawlessly. So it does seem to be the kernel which is causing the issue (in my case at least). Can anybody tell me how to pull a logcat so I can send it over to imnuts?

Where did you find the kernel? Everything works great except the video.
Does anyone know of a stock, rooted version?

I believe it's an issue with Imnuts' 1/15 kernel, not the ROM.

See anyone running Imos kernel doesn't have the issue so I don't believe that Eclipse is the problem, although it is still possible.

Yeah I remember back when Gummy2.0 was released I had that issue. I know it's not the same thing though because whenever I would record it would give me an error message like "This SD card does not support HD video recording" or something like that and it would just close the camera app, it wouldnt just freeze and reboot.

I'm positive it's not a problem with the SD card. I'm on Tweakstock so for now it's to be assumed that the kernel is the problem since cujo6801 already tested Eclipse with Imos kernel and had no problem, but adrenaline_rush tested Eclipse with Imnuts' kernel and it froze/rebooted. Pretty sure it's a kernel issue at this point.

Try your actual Camera and attempt to record video @ 1280/720, then tell me if it reboots.
I got the freeze and reboot every time with Eclipse and PBJ at 720p. Flashed Tweakstock with PBJ and it worked. Then tried Eclipse with the ep4d kernel and that worked too. I thought it might be the camera so I copied the one from from Tweakstock into Eclipse and 720p recording worked fine undervolted and oc'd to 1200.
Edit: Tried it again since reflashing updated Eclipse and it locked at 10 seconds. Guess I was lucky last time. Shot multiple 45 second plus videos ok.

Tweastock with PBJ freezes and reboots on mine too. Never froze on Tweakstock with included kernel
Checked the comments on Imnuts' kernel over at RootzWiki and i can confirm it's a problem with the kernel, in addition to that the HDMI port doesnt seem to work.
I have been getting froze screens and 1 reboot also, since running imnuts kernel. I thought it was maybe the ROM but doing a little research IM finding the kernel has an issue. I didn't try the camera with imnuts kernel but I've flashed imo 4.0 kernel and the recording does work w/o force closing on me.

Also be careful overclocking on PBJ, I set it to 1600 max on SetCPU, and after a few moments it froze and rebooted. When it rebooted, as soon as SetCPU was granted SU, there goes another freeze. I wasn't able to change the settings due to the freeze, and after a few reboots I was taken to the setup screen like you would see after a factory reset. But this came with random F/C errors and lots of non-functional apps. You can't do anything at this point but restart from stock+PIT and go up from there. Reflashing the ROM, kernel, restoring, even ODINing another ROM won't rid the F/C hell.
Same thing as this, when I tried to use the Voodoo screen tuner:

Oh also people stated imyosen kernel was a battery drain, but it's been very good on battery so far.
