Hey guys,
My HOXL is currently running ViperXL 2.20, the Beast Mode Kernel at 1.8ghz and -25mv undervolting, sweep2wake and sweep2unlock enabled, as well as aznrice's audio mods. (VooDoo Mode). I'm using the SIO scaler and the smartassv2 governor, occasionally intellidemand.
The thing dun lags. It's slow, unresponsive, choppy. It seems as though my free ram gets eaten up rather quickly, but I get general lag even when it's empty. I don't use any task killers either, I let android take care of that part.
I get wake lag, homescreen lag (Apex Launcher Pro), lag when launching apps, lag while scrolling through apps, just lag. My quadrant is great, in the upper 5000 range, but that doesn't reflect real world performance at all.
It seems as though the lag comes and goes. One minute it'll be fine and fairly responsive, and the next minute it won't. It's usually the latter though. I've tried clean flashing the rom, no success.
What could be wrong here? I played with the HOX+ at AT&T today and I loved it, but I'm reluctant to buy it because of the T3's horrendous DAC. I was even thinking of just going for a Galaxy Note II, and I hate Samsung.
Thanks in advance.
Buy a new phone when you mess yours up?..where have I read this before......?hmm..I do not get any lag whatsoever on viper. Have you even tried reflashing,changing back to stock,factory reset etc.. are you past your 30 Days...by the way new phones come out every month literally so their will always be one faster. You just seem like the person who switches phones because the phone you have you caused the problems...

Not quite. The HOXL's measly 16gb of memory is killing me, otherwise I love the phone. I'm just in the position to sell the HOXL for double what I paid, get a new phone using someone else's line (because they don't want to upgrade...lol) and profit The only reason I'm not jumping into this decision is because I'd like to see what comes in the next few months. 64gb is awesome though. I got my HOXL on launch day, so I'm way past the 30 day window. I do realize that phones will just become faster, but I'm not too big on the lag I'm seeing here that often makes the phone unusable. It's pretty bad dude.
I've tried reflashing, factory reset numerous times, nothing. Initially, the phone will be snappy as usual, but over the course of a couple of days the lag just comes back. Then again, I was comparing ICS to the smoothness of JB on the HOX+. This lag I'm getting is just something I haven't seen happen before. What kernel are you using? Governor, etc? OC/UV?
Viper has been pretty zippy for me lately...avoid restore system apps...if you're reporting this after a couple hours of usage...wait a couple days and than report back

I only restore my user apps and data, never the system stuff. This is after a week or two of usage, I started using Viper when it was on 1.2.4 a little while ago. The incremental updates did speed it up a bit, but my phone seems to be "choking" to get things done.
Trust me you'll see another jaw dripping HTC released around April I say it even sooner so if you can wait with your one xl you'll have a very good phone.... The one x+ does seem very tempting though

That's why I'm holding off a bit lol. I'm assuming that in the near future, Android will match up to/efficiently use the hardware being delivered, essentially becoming synergistic.
Using viper xl with the total opposite of your experience man, try to flash the elemental kernel. Im using it with noop.scheduler and intellidemand governor with UC to 1,3ghz and it has NEVER, for real,been lagged once

I would not buy anything new right now. Wait until we get a GSM version of the Droid DNA, which makes the One X+ look outdated already.
I was considering that, I really wish att had the DNA.

Have you ever been satisfied with the responsiveness of the phone on a stock rom or was it always choppy as you feel it is now?
When it was bone dry stock, it was quick and responsive, felt like JB even. Not so much anymore though.

i found at&t stock, debloating it myself with some minor mods to be faster then most of the sense roms i've tried
Hmm i had a bit of lag on viper xl 1.x series then i went cm10 to dirty rom had no speed issues on the aosp side just a bit more battery drain compared to the sense roms but my multitasking is more realistic on the aosp side imo. I would say try cleanrom always loved it for closer to bare bones experience.
Me too
I've experienced the exact same issue, although mine ran fine for the first week or so, and then started taking a ****. Stock stays fast, Viper after the first week or two regardless of kernel and cpu speed starts to lag. I've tried CM10 which speed wise is fine (buggy as all hell for me though, no offence CM dev's.. you need more time/source) and doesn't seem to slow down. So far I've flashed CleanRom and IMO it's night and day compared to Viper. Maybe try that?

So my first Inspire apparently had a GPS radio issue, it would never lock on, Navigation wouldn't work, etc. I was running Revolution 3.1 Sense ROM and Set CPU OC to 1.2ghz. Phone worked great apart from the GPS issue.
I exchanged the first phone yesterday for one with GPS that works great and proceeded to set it up exactly like the first phone, Revolution 3.1 Sense, Set CPU OC to 1.2. But the moment I started Set CPU and it acquired SU permission the phone locked up. And I mean completely locked up, even the live wallpaper stopped moving. I had to do a battery pull and a factory reset just to get the phone to boot again.
I tried everything to get it to work, reflashed the Buzz kernel, reflashed the ROM, flashed a different ROM and then flashed back, restored the ROM from my previous phone. No luck, Set CPU locks up the new phone.
The phone still works great, but it concerns me that Set CPU worked before just fine and doesn't work now. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix? Is it possible HTC made a hardware revision after the first production run that is now causing compatibility issues with OC kernels?
Actually just ran into this today. I have two inspires and the first one I got does fine with oc and setcpu but the one I just picked up causes instafreeze when trying to oc. I was going return it and grab another to see if it was just my particular phone but am curious now that I have seen your post.
Sorry to hear that, but so glad I'm not the only one! If you exchange the one that freezes please let me know the result!
Damn that sucks to hear, I had an inspire on launch day, returned it just cause I wasn't too happy with it and got the atrix. The bootloader issue makes that phone useless to me so I returned it and picked up another inspire off contract, and this one performs WAAAAY better than the first one did stock. Even Linpack confirms. My first ones top score when stock never topped 38 or so, deff. never hit 40 stock. This one consistently hits 41+, and I was just thinking there may have been a software update since then that slightly improve CPU performance but didn't look into it at all. Hopefully this isn't a new batch that HTC did something stupid to, but ill find out tonight.

I kinda think this too. My first one was a launch unit, I bought it a day or two after they hit shelves. This new one is getting Quadrant scores as high as my first one with no OC.
Has there been any software updates since launch or no

No idea, I was so focused on custom ROMs since I've owned it I haven't noticed if anything official came out.
Well, looks like I might have my answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12074403&postcount=2056
Still don't know why one phone would work and the other wouldn't though.
Just an update:
Went and got a different inspire today and it does not have the problem with locking up.

Weird. So I updated to the new Revolution ROM with the updated Buzz kernel that's supposed to fix the issue and my new phone still locks up. So there has to be two different version of this phone out in the field, unless someone who knows more than me can tell me what's up.
If I was you i would swap it out if you still can so you don't have to worry about the issue.
What excuse did you use the second time
First time I swapped I had a legit reason with the GPS not working, I'll have to think about what to tell them this time since I can't say "Set CPU can't overclock this phone once it's rooted."
I'm still hoping someone knows what this is though, pretty sure it's not a defect since the phone actually works better than my first one, everything else considered.
Should I trade in my Desire Z for the Nexus S?
I'm mostly after browser speed and everyday performance
What happened to the nexus sense port? I had a galaxy S before and it was always slower to the original desire but with ginger on the NS it just might do the trick.
Are you guys satisfied with the NS especially coming from other android devices?
If browsing speed is your priority, I would suggest you wait a bit. Currently the stock browser is rather laggy.
Laggy even with overclock, custom roms (cyanogen, nscollab and infinity) ?
Does cyanogen have the auto text reflow function?
I use my Nexus S since 3 months. It's fabulous.
Choose the right ROM and Kernel! It will be smoothest!
Great experience during 2 days without any charge or FC.
GNS is a very nice device. Buy GNS and flash CM, then enjoy)
Nexus S all the way. Desire Z is old news. I'd rather choose Desire S
Personally it was a bad idea to ask for an advice in a nexus s forum . lol.
anyway, a fair answer for me would be, there is no big deal of a difference between the 2 phones. If you were to buy one of these, then i would have said nexus s but since you already possess the dz, then no need to make the change. speedwise they are the same. the difference maybe comes from the gpu but you said you are only for browsing experience. i think you should stick to the dz until you get something better.
you do have amazing devs back there... i am sure finding a good custom rom is not a problem.
Just 3 hours ago, SuperAOSP Rom created by SUPERTAMEL, has changed the whole browser system
No more lagging issue, just pure enjoyment of browsing
I guess, you come to Nexus S in the right time
Development on the Desire Z has pretty much stalled with the keyboard being the biggest limitation. Even the Desire has better roms for gingerbread. I've owned a SGS before and the browser was indeed a little slow so I should expect performance to be on par to that. The SGS wasn't that bad but I switched to the Z mainly because of the LED flash which is very important to me as a flashlight
What ever happened to the NS sense port? I was looking at some vids over at youtube and they looked really smooth with some minor issues and non working features but nevertheless usable! Was the 0.3 build the one that caused the problem with the IMEI? What exactly happened?
What's the difference in real life performance between SuperAOSP, INfinity and Cyan?
Netarchy is the best kernal option available right? In layman's terms, what does proton voltage do and how do I know what settings to use?
Thanks for helping a NS noobie

Well, sadly that Samsung has put the most important file "EFS" at a very insecure place. And, we never realise that until we find that Nexus Sense has "wiped" the whole EFS data too, making all the IMEI number being the same
So far everyone is trying to get it fix, not a single news yet, but soon
What's the difference in real life performance between SuperAOSP, INfinity and Cyan?

SUperAOSP, is the rom created with extra setting known as SupSetup
Infinity is created by Jonathan Griggs where he is very keen in ANdroid and added lots of different features.
Cyan 7 is the nightly build where different bugs and fixes are keep updated and fixed.
Kang's Cyan is the lighter and better version of Cyan 7.
Muiu is the Iphone version of Android (Use this rom if you like iOS interface)
Netarchy is the best kernal option available right? In layman's terms, what does proton voltage do and how do I know what settings to use?

Netarchy or Trinity. Both are equally good.
Both has OC and UV kernel.
Proton voltage let you customize the voltage you wanna set for each frequency and it's only usable for Netarchy kernel.
No one is a noob, everyone is equal
I come from a desire and i am very much dissapointed in the browsing experience of this phone. It's not hardware accelerated so rendering flash content or bigger images is a pain. If your only looking for that, better stick with the desire z. I've tried all roms btw and I always end up using opera mobile.

So no real difference in performance between cm7, kangs, infinity and superaosp except preference? What's the best rom for me if I need BLN and vibrate on call answer?
How do I know the best settings for photon? Or can I just use default?
Finally got my phone and this thing is wicked fast! I've never experienced a phone out of the box this good! Screen is yellowish as usual though Speakerphone volume is excellent as well!
Browser seems to be very good, not super fluid but good enough. Not as stuttery as my old SGS. Mighty tempted not to flash a custom rom because it's already very good!
Cm7 is recommended, it will change the experience totally and it has text reflow after zoom. I personally use the nightlies a lot but it's up to you, they might be laggy sometimes.

Thanks for the help guys really really big help I really really appreciate it!
The browser on superaosp is much smoother but I encountered some instances wherein it just would not scroll the page even after swiping the screen multiple times. Perhaps it's the way I swiped the screen? switching to my left hand which was holding the phone made it much better.
BLN and vibrate on answer working perfectly!

Im pretty satisfied with this phone at the moment, with my headphones on this thing can produce way better audio than any HTC phone I have tried. Bass is booming and vocals are rich.
My only quip is the battery which never reaches 100 percent like my old SGS. A calibration should do the trick..I hope.

Best thing about this phone is the games made for tegra. They are enhanced!
There isn't really a need to change kernal because this phone is fast as is. I tried it, oc'd it and never saw real time improvements. I actually underclock mine to 816mhz and it still plays all games the same.
This phone operates the best for me on Baldwin's kang cm7. Its fast and reliable. Either way you will want to use anything that uses the external sd card for app storage.

G-ma's stock G2x. Updated software?
You mentioned the speed of the stock build. I am curious if GRANDMA has the recent software update. It's V21Y and brings the phone up to Gingerbread 2.3.4 (as opposed to 2.3.3 previously. My wife has been on it over a month now w/o rebooting. It's an awesome stock build! My G2x is rooted and running recent Cyanogenmod real well too. The stock is so good now that even I sometimes restore a rooted stock nandroid for ZERO bugginess!
Joining in the dredging of an old thread - I loaded V21y on both my and my wife's phone - both run slower with noticeably more lag than stock Froyo. But no dreaded Black Screen Of Death, which is what my wife hated (she is on call sometimes). So I guess I'm happy. Someday I should try a dev rom I guess... But I NEED WiFi calling and a2dp - not sure if I can get that in a dev rom...

Yea she got the update 2.3.4, the stock build is awesome fast, faster than the htc sense obviously but I still love the htc sense animations are just better on sense if sense could be just as fast as stock id loved it even more lol. Stock makes a big difference even the single core G2 is fast on stock faster than the mytouch even with 2 cores. I've done the test I tap the menu at the same time on the 3 phones and the mytouch is the slowest. However you do see the difference when not on the UI, for example on apps, the browser, and loading obviously the mytouch wins on that aspect 1.2 ghz dual core

theres still some minor issues with the 2.3.4 got one rare SOD and a few odd reboots. cm7 has none of the issues. guess thats the tradeoff for proper quality of calls and a working gps.
I downgraded my baseband back to the March 2011 firmware, loaded up Hell Fire Phoenix with Faux's stable kernel, running V6 SuperCharger, and a Team Carbon theme that I'm currently modifying to my specific likings.

I'm just curious because I get a lot of mixed answers, some users claimed they never had a problem and their sidekick 4G runs smoothly while others say their phone freezes and reboots way too often. Some have also said installing custom rom has fixed their phone.
I have my sidekick since last may it does not freeze nor reboot constantly the most that ever really happen was that the screen got mosit so it stop working. I have had no more then 10 battery pulls were the phone froze. Generally I pull the battery when I need to turn it off quick. (Used gingerclone,lighting rev2,glorious overdose,

this question may perhaps be a bit tricky. some users, like myself, may have installed a custom rom, but that alone may not have fixed the lag. i installed b2tb, but still had a lag, and quadnrant score was the same before and after the flash. before b2tb, i was on stock firmware, and my quadrant score was in the 9s. after flashing, still in the 9s. screen lag was the same. a combination of voodoo lagfix and v6 supercharger have improved my quadrant scores to anywhere in the 11s or 12s. extremely little to no screen lag and no other noticeable performance lag at all. but simply flashing a custom rom did not fix my lag.
Try GenericGinger 2.0, I use it. I've never had my phone freeze, EVER. The speed is good, battery life great. Quadrant Standard score 1700+ google search it. I'm sure it won't be a waste of time

Worst issue i had was dealing with a possible issue in the built in kernal drivers for the bluetooth talking with my kia souls bluetooth stereo cause it seamed now an then at work (pizza delivery) the phone wouldn't disconnect correctly an would cause other issues, like...... overheating x.X an it wasn't the battery cause the face of the phone was hotter then the back where the battery was an by hot i mean like almost hot enough to cause a burn x.x! Love the sidekick an if the devs can make a rom that patches every single issue the factory firmware has in it I'll very likely go back to it, but at this time I'm happy with my edge speed on my captivate (daily driver) an X10 mini pro (amazing backup phone that never fails )

is that what it is when i feel my screen going haywire? i'll be trying to text someone and then it keeps scrolling up the conversation and then trying to do a search throughout that convo...jeez i thought it was just a nasty bug haha i'll have to disable it then, i dont use it anyways...wish they would have brought back the trackball from the SKIII....now THAT trackball was cool.
I disabled it and now im not having issues with it. I get this annoying browser lag tho and I need to stop that. I am looking to get a different phone now. Im sure someone who is a heavy texter would love to have this phone...

Try GenericGinger 2.0, I use it. I've never had my phone freeze, EVER. The speed is good, battery life great. Quadrant Standard score 1700+ google search it. I'm sure it won't be a waste of time

Omg! This ROM is perfect! This is exactly what I've been looking for! I wish I could hit the thanks button a billion times!
4th Option
4th option - Factory Reset, Rooted, added App Killer and uninstalled most of the Bloatware (Like DriveSource)
works much better now, even with the Stock ROM.

...I have had no more then 10 battery pulls were the phone froze. Generally I pull the battery when I need to turn it off quick....

Push PowerButton and Volume button [+ or -] at the same time for 10 seconds. This is a little faster & easier than a battery pull.
For a while I was using Ice Cream Sandwich v2.0 Domination with the ICS launcher removed and ADW launcher in its place. Everything was fine except for the Gallery. It would take forever to load picture, and occasionally, it would reboot my device if it took too long. I just switched to GenericGinger 2.0, and I've had no problems with crashes or reboots.
I'm running Gingerclone w/ Voodoo Lag Fix and V6 Supercharger Aggressive 2. Using Tegrak to OC up to 1.152 and I'm consistently pulling quadrant scores of 2200+.
On the stock ROM the phone froze and rebooted frequently. On GingerClone I haven't had it crash once yet.

Oh and I forgot to mention some things. First in Tegrak I set the CPU low limit to 200mhz and the governor to performance. Makes a HUGE difference in quadrant score and minimal effect on battery life.
Kj2 deodexed and rooted.
Stock browser, Gallery, and recently, Defender 2 cause it to lock up.
Stock browser and Gallery lock up less than on kg2 deodexed/rooted, but still do.
Gallery only on loading, and browser on scrolling.
I had that issue allot then I make it an effort to wipe the cache in recovery once per week, fixes its wagon for me. I also a running back to basics and dealing with the touchwiz launcher. Sacrificing looks in the name of this thing working properly is the name of the game.

Just wipe cache, or wipe cache and dalvik cache?

We have been very fortunate with a recent influx of ported ROMs and modified experiemental Kernels and want to gather people's opinions on what the best Daily Driver ROM/kernel combo is these days.
What says you!
Well when my DS died a month or so ago I was bouncing between CM 9.1 with the experimental kernel, paranoid android, and virtuous infinity (1.3.5 beta 1). Each had its own merits... cm9 is on there right now but the screen doesn't work lol.

I am a huge fan of MikTouch and always keep a android just in case. It is probably the most stable of any Rom available.
This week I finally tried the new AOKP from SilverL. I haven't tried an AOKP before. I love all the tweaks in Rom control. It will probably be my daily driver for awhile.
Just try a few and see what you like. Good luck.

CM 9.1. Running the R3 ROM with the R8 kernel and everything's working smooth.
I second npiper. I tried a couple of the ICS roms and enjoyed them, but after a week or two I couldn't deal with the little issues any longer and went back to the rom that hasn't let me down, MikTouch. I can't remember ever having an app fc on me with it.
MAN! That's like taking a police officer into a Dunkin Donuts and asking him to pick one favorite! :laugh:

I try all of the ROMs that come out. But I always end up back on the Miktouch 0.7 ROM because it is super stable and everything works without having to sacrifice virgins or do anything else extraordinary.

Lol.
Interesting, I never knew Miktouch was so preferred around here. I've always skipped over it because it was Sense and I've never been happy with stock sense. I'll maybe give it a shot this week. It's GB not ICS, right?
I'm also going to test out CM9.1 r8 and see how I fair with it compared to my (somewhat) trusty CM9 Alpha5
Paranoid Android is a very fun idea and I love having it as an option, but I'm not sure a screen our size really calls for it

I'm testing out the new CM9.1r8, as well. Miktouch is indeed GB. With it I'm regularly getting 30+ hours of use with my 1900mAh battery. I'm anxious to see what I get with the new CM9.1r8. I tested the earlier r5 build of CM9.1 and just wasn't totally happy with it so I went back to Miktouch. I love the look of the ICS/Sense4 and Sense 3.6 ROMS, but none of them have the stability and battery life I need, so I end up back at Miktouch.
30+ hours sounds fantastic, but for reference how long would you say you manage to get on a CM9 ROM?

Depends on usage really. I can get up to 40 hours out of one of my ankers with around 4 hours screen on time. Or I could get 9 hours battery life with the same usage, it just depends on how hard core you use your phone that day.

Yeah what he said. There are users that will claim to have amazing battery life and then post screen shots of Display only accounting for like 30% of the usage.. When that's the case then you know the thing isn't on that much because it really is display that uses the most juice if you're using your phone heavy.
That said, I've had the Mugen 3600 since the day it was released and I can always get through a whole day without any worry even if i'm talking for hours, playing games whatever surfing the net and checking XDA regularly etc.. Sometimes I put the smaller batteries back in because the phone looks sharp stock but then I find myself concerned about being near a charger and I hate that feeling. I just want to plug it in while I'm sleeping and use it at will the rest of the time and with the "big boy" I totally can.

Yea I get that, I meant to pose that question to him specifically to see how his battery life scales with the two different roms since the user is pretty much invariably the biggest drain on battery.

I just loaded this CM9.1r8 ROM yesterday, so don't have any complete sense of battery life, yet. Though so far it is looking very good. I get such battery life on my phone because when I am home it does sit with the screen off most of the time. At home it connects via Bluetooth to my Panasonic cordless phones and Wi-Fi to my home network. All the voice calls I make or receive go through those cordless phones to the cellphone (my MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or other mobile). I do some texting on the phone, and of course when I go out of the apartment it isn't connected to Bluetooth. When I'm out I will use maps sometimes, apps like Friendstream and Foursquare. Oh, and when out I am almost always listening to music either stored on my SD card or streaming from Google Music or the FM radio. So, not a "hardcore" user, I guess, but I do what I need. Miktouch recently got me over 2 days of use on a single charge, but more typical is about 28-30 hours. The new CM9.1r8 is looking to behave similarly so far.

I got this build before it was posted from the dev, so I have a bit more experience on the battery. I ran it for 24 hours straight without recharging, got in 2.5 hours of web browsing, another hour of wifi calling in, and the batter was at 15% when I woke up this morning (Anker 1900 mAh). Everything I've tested has worked fine. The one gotcha on the battery may be if you boot into it initially--I noticed that on the first reboot, it wasn't going into deep sleep, but after I rebooted a second time, it was clean. It may require a full battery pull for the hardware to completely reset or something. Otherwise, things are great!
CM9.1 r7 kernel and ROM. Flashing to r8 soon. My only gripe with this ROM is the camera is a little lacking, but I'd take stock AOSP over the sense camera any day. If I were to use GB though, I'd go with one of Undead9k's "senseless" ROMs.
Well this might seem obvious to most in this community, but since I spent as long as I did not updating maybe there are others out there as well...
I have found no reason to *not* update from cm9 to cm9.1 r8.
Does anyone have any opinions of our new AOKP vs CM9.1 roms?
Actually I'm using CM9.1r8 ROM, too. Although it's still soon to throw a veredict, by the moment I'm getting great battery life, and it works perfect and smooth.
The only feature I still miss is the alt/caps led/status bar indicator ;(

With CM10 still in alpha, CM9 with R9 kernels, and AOKP, PACman, Paranoid Android and MIUI all updating what's your new preffered daily driver ROM?
I'll be testing CM10 tonight since my CM9 flash has recently started having problems connecting to the network for a short time every other week.
