Performance Issues

My Captivated is rooted and Im having a lot of performance issues. I unloaded some apps and its still having problems. The biggest issues is delayed response. This happen from messaging, to suing the touchscscrreen./----Im going to leave this typo because it happens of the screen freezing--/ . This happens way to frequently. Please tell me I can fix this myself, I don't want to send this off for a new one. I hate that process.

Backup your apps with TITANIUM BACKUP and flash back to stock. Then I would install the sre.

you can follow all the steps to root your phone and reset and blablabla...
or you can wait for the software fix, which nobody knows when to come or nobody can guarantee to work.
or you can wait for 2.2, which is supposed to be faster but you never know.
or you can exchange for another phone and probably have the same problem.

I wouldn't mind playing the waiting game if just a couple of bugs. But what's a smart phone if it doesn't can't handled being used. I figured it was something I did cause the phone didn't always freeze like this. Is this the lag people are talking about?

Do a reset. However don't use Titanium Backup to restore system data. It will funk stuff up a lot of the time.

I had the same issues, first get rid off any task killer app you have. Second download the One Click Lag Fix app. These steps increased my phones speed drastically. You can also use a program called Autostarts to control which apps load at boot. To do the last to tips, I believe your phone had to be rooted.

What he says is good. Also get AutoKiller. Set it to preset Extreme. Enjoy a fast phone.
Oh. Disable the upload settings features.

What did you backup your apps with... Titanium Backup?

Did you install Auto Killer?
Back before this nice app we had to use a script at boot to change the settings this app now does. Y'all got in on Android when it was getting easy to do everything. I had to root by cmd prompt and use a list of commands now we have one click rooters. I am kinda jealous.

You definitely don't need an app killer. Eclair is set up to kill apps when memory is needed. I find things to be buggy when I use an app killer. Use launcher pro. Much smoother than touch whiz. Root with SRE. When all the att crap is gone the phone functions like it should have out of the box even if you disable the OC. Lagfix is optional but doing all these things really makes the phone fly

This has all been covered in the actual CM thread, all of our ROM's are stable they just have some missing features (AOSP built ones anyway)

MMS seems to be an issue right now, i have tried apns backup and reinstall and no luck. The other issue i have noticed is the cameras highest res is 3mp, but is fully functional. I also got 2694 on quadrant, if you have never used cyanogenmod i highly recommend it. Coming from a desire this is a bit of a step backwards, but no other rom will do. That being said, it's highly customizeable compared to other roms i have tried.

So the only thing not working is MMS?

Jesus Christ. Yall read the damn CyanogenMod ROM thread, come on.

Lol... @add im becoming a big fan of yours you are blunt and don't beat around the bush!!!! Funny **** comes from your fingers...

Any tips for using wireless tethering on this ROM? I couldn't find it in Settings so I'm using an app but it unusably slow. Has the stock menu option been removed? I don't see USB tethering either.
Also, is there a way to get Swype back? Maybe this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-841603.html

Barnacle wifi seems to work.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I went back to super clean for the time being, as I also couldn't find any way to access my phone from my windows pc with cyanogenmod - I guess you need a separate app for that too? I will have to do some more research before using that rom. Can't wait, it is by far the easiest on the eyes.

Any word an a "my contacts backup" apk that will run on the cm6?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

Why don't you just put your contacts on your Google account?

thats the best way to save contacts cause then it auto syncs back to the phone on any rom

In hindsight ... it would have been the wiser choice.

Anyone else having Bluetooth issues. I can't even enable mine. A friend is running the pbj time kernel says his is running fine. I flashed as posted and I get no Bluetooth. Also he claims to not have the roam triangle. The only difference is the kernel. Any thoughts?
I changed to pbj time kernel. I can now enable and file transfer via Bluetooth

[Q] order & chaos for charge?

Hey i was just wondering, is there any way to get and play order & chaos online for the droid charge without having to root the device? Thx for any help

Yes there is a all device ver out there (google it) the down side is that you cant use the store so you cant add game time or gold. When you get the app you get 3 free months so lets hope it gets support before then.

Works perfectly! Thanks a bunch.

Can you help me out with a little more step by step please.
Im able to download the game from the market by changing my build prop... hence my sig below, but when I run it, it gets stuck after the first splash screen, at an hour glass type icon.... actually its the spinning circle.
Thanks
Edit. Btw, im running humble FROYO if that makes a difference.

All you have to do is change your build.prop file in /system to:
Instead of your device being i510, change it to i500. I'm playing O&C right now.

Uninstall everything.
Delete all data related to the game.
Change build.prop lines to i500
Redownload and install.
Redownload the massive data package over WIFI.
Play game.

Exactly. It will work on this phone. I have to add, this game is freaking awesome. I've been waiting for a mobile version of WoW for years, but I certainly did not expect such a close copy! Lol.
Either way, it brings me back to my WoW days, and it fits in my back pocket.

Soo im kinda new at rooting. Can you walk me through the process of editing build.prop?

I've been using an all devices version for a bit now but just recently OaC came out with an update that is needed to play, has anyone cracked the new version yet for all devices?

I donno. I can't even get the paid version to work after the update

the only way to polay now is to edit the build.prop and download the fascinate/galaxy-s version from the marketplace

i'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and several things in the market are saying they are incompatible that should work just fine.

Maybe try flashing a different rom to see if its rom related. Also try clearing your market cache AND DATA and maybe try fixing permissions. I'm sure you tried that but worth mentioning pretty strange though

figured it out... it was my LCD density. I had to set it back to 220, wipe market data, then install. Also had many updates that I wasn't getting. This is yet one more reason I hate the new market.
Dig the game, and thank you for posting it.

Kept seeing updates on this thread so decided the hell with it let's give it a go. Fun game, will be a good time killer. Thanks.

really fun and addictive. But I am stuck on a level and can't get past it.

Modern Warfare 3: Fallen Nation

Totally works if you modify the build.prop. I altered model, brand, name, device, board, and manufacturer to that described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18687400&postcount=10
Got annoyed when they wouldn't even let me purchase the game under the $.49 sale in case I upgraded later. Oh well, workaround achieved.
[edit] I should have mentioned that before you do anything make a backup in CWM. Now, I'll be working on today seeing if i can freeze the app before a restore and then get it working again. Changing the build.prop can have some unforeseen consequences such as Swype having now lost its license. [/edit]

would you mind showing some proof. and if i do do it, do i just edit the lines that he has in red?

Not necessarily, what I've figured out is that at most you have to change the six lines defining the terms I mentioned in the first post. Link is just for reference.
As far as proof I might make a video when I can get around to it. Maybe even showing SixAxisController at work.

I recently changed my build.prop to "Droid3" specs so I could download and play modern combat 3, however I noticed that after I had done so, my accelerometer took a dump. Like, did not work at all.
It didn't even work after I changed my BP back to my normal Atrix2 specs. (After a reboot of course)
Luckily (thank you recovery) I had made a backup right before I changed the BP, and was able to go back in time two hours and get my accelerometer working again.
Anyone else ran into this?

I said "modern combat" in my post....
Anyways the nexus s trick doesn't work for me. I think you need to change just more than the name in the phone.
Quite possibly board as well?
If someone has got this to really work without screwing up some important part of their phone maybe you can post it a screenie of your build?
EDIT: Or maybe can lay out all the specs required for the nexus s?
