Hello,
my girlfriend got her new HTC Desire S 2 weeks ago. I have one since it is available in our country. I rooted it and put the same ROM (the newest Galnet from MIUI) on both devices.
The first thing we noticed was the different color saturation of the devices, which is not that big deal (perhaps someone has a solution?).
But a really annoying thing is that on my girlfriends phone the camera app is not able to preview everything like it should. It only updates the screen if some user interaction is done. Touching the screen, ... . If i open the camera app the same thing happens, it even records only 1pic (or less) each second.
I restored the backup but with the original ROM everything is working. Reflashing of MIUI or using another version doesn't solve that problem.
I hope someone has a good hint or a solution for that problem?
Thanks in advance.
Hardware acceleration?!
We also found out that she is not able to watch videos. They look like a slideshow. 1 image a second or less....
It seems that there is a problem with the hardware acceleration?
I did a full wipe (i even formated system / data / cache) so nothing from an old rom can cause this problem.
Are there different chips build into our HTC Desire S. or what can cause these problems?
I hope someone can answer these questions. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike
I have same problem discussed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397883
there is no solution for it now ((
Did you had the same problem before you switched the ROM?
I had the problem with slow SD card. Video play was quite smooth but sometimes it was not synced with audio. When I changed SD card to class 10 from class 2 its muuuuch better.

I am pretty sure it's not the sd because youtube videos are lagging too, and they are cached in the RAM (i think). Camera and video preview are also lagging and the preview itself has nothing todo with the sd card too.
But thanks
Hey guys i have been enjoying my rooted sensation with ARHD 6.6.4 rom and its working perfect but i only have one issue.
Is the memory usage always so high?
I used this app called Memory Booster Lite and it shows used memory 75% and free only 23 or 25% always no matter how many apps or services i close.
Is this normal and is there any way to improve free ram memory?.
Thanks
Anything above 150 MB free memory is considered good in my books.
Most custom ROMs will get you between 200-250 MB free memory, which is normal.
You don't need to improve the amount of Free RAM you have at any given time. And your memory booster app is probably counter productive to achiving improved performance.
When you load an Android App, it will stay in RAM until something else needs that memory. It's not supposed to get dumped out of RAM just because you close the app.
If you have 100mb of RAM (using easy to work with numbers here) and an app takes 50 MB of RAM and anothe rapp takes 25MB of RAM, both apps will stay loaded in RAM so make them load quicker if you go to use them again. This saves load time and battery as the phone doesn't have to spend energy to transfer the app from storage back into RAM.
So in this scenario you'll have 25MB of RAM left.
Now say you want to load a 3rd app that takes 50MB of RAM. Obviously you don't have enough RAM to load it, so the system will now dump the other 50MB RAM user so it has room to load the new 50MB into RAM.
The system does it all for you natively so you don't need memory improvement apps. All they do it use up RAM permently (since they keep themselves in active memory and won't let themselves be killed) and use up extra battery power because they perform a task that will be performed again by the system later.
Android is very efficient at dumping apps form RAM when not in active use.
Over the course of a battery cycle you'll find that you use the same apps multiple times in a row. The phone app, text app, web browser app, etc are all things that you will use over and over and over. So rather than dumping these out of memory it keeps them so they load faster the next time. And it works VERY well. And it custom tailors itself to the user. If you never use the text app, but use Angry Birds all the time, Angry Birds will stick in RAM.
Sense is a RAM hog. If you want more RAM use AOSP. Having said that, free RAM is wasted RAM.

All of this. Every bit of it. I had to explain this to someone the other day who was hellbent on achieving MAXIMUM FREE RAM.

Wow thanks a lot for the explanation i really didnt know that.I got used to the pc ram optimizing hahahaha my bad.
so these apps android booster and memory booster shall i remove them all?
but apps running in background they dont drain ur battery?.
Like i am running music player and later i stopped it but its still there in process does it drain battery as long as its there in services?
High Always
Memory free has always been low to about 215 MB max. If you really want you can freeze sense and use a basic launcher from the play store to increase memory by about 50-70 MB.
Memory free is about 300 MB with Virtuous Inquesition 4.0.2 for me!

Yeah get rid of all that stuff.
And no, having an app loaded in RAM doesn't mean it's using processor power, which is what uses the battery. (Nor does it mean it's forcing the screen to stay on, which is your biggest battery drain)
Think of an app you just closed as a guy on a bus. He's just sitting there taking up a seat on the bus not bothering anyone. He doesn't weigh much compared to the bus itself so he's not decreasing the fuel efficiency of the bus. And when a little old lady needs to get on and have a seat, he'll gladly give up his seat for her and get off the bus....then patiently wait on the sidewalk for the next bus.
But as long as he's sitting on the bus quietly he's primed and ready to jump into the drivers seat if you need him to do so. Once he gets off the bus, it takes a second for him to reboard so he can drive.
well, all of this is so wrong... (this maybe true if gingerbread, but not ICS)

http://source.android.com/compatibility/4.0/android-4.0-cdd.pdf
ICS is designed for 1GB RAM devices (eg: Galaxy Nexus),
and ICS need at least 340MB for linux user space + hardware functions (eg: camera, modem) + 64-128mb max for each running application
so ICS will need more ram than GB. that's why I think 100-150mb free ram isn't enough on Sensation-ICS, especially if you run heavy games that consume very big memory

Maybe you forgot nexus s or some phone with 512MB, i use it on ics and still smooth and no problem with gaming.
Google never explain how much ram requirements to run ics they just said about STORAGE minimum is 1GB.
One of the improvement of ics is on memory management, we can call it ram management.
In eclair you have to use ram management apps to kill your background tasks in order to run heavy apps smoothly, but in gb google made some improvement on ram management so we dont need an app anymore.
In ics google improve memory management again, thats why even you playing heavy games then minimize it and open browser or something else, you dont feel laggy browsing or because system will kill the game, and you have to start from scratch if you open the game again.
And 768MB is enough for me to run shadow gun, x-plane, gta 3.
Do some research before you say something mate.
And for free ram, i can get 300MB on MIUI sense based, but i dont even care, just leave it let system do the job.
C'mon, we dont need 300MB (except for show off ) what we need is smoothness and battery efficient.

I thought that they did have rom management in older android versions. If all recent apps stayed open then it would crash the phone because it couldnt handle the load. And apps have different API levels which decided what apps were killed, depending on the kind of app(which you could change with an app). Ics and jb just have a better from management system. Correct me if I'm wrong
And could I hear more about the extra RAM?

yes of course you can run on sensation, but the system must kill other app running on background (just like my old moto milestone with 256mb ram kill app very frequently including homescreen launcher and it's very slow to start an app).

sure, nexus s meet the android 4.0 ccd because it has more than 340 MB RAM, but it struggle just like 512 MB sony devices
128MB is a MUST for each app, but have to adjust more if needed. So next year or two, all phone manufactures will not ship devices with 512MB anymore coz it's too slow & will kill app on background frequently (just like my old milestone)
if you're not developer you won't encounter about memory hungry app, currently I make 3D games on android and <512MB devices (such as xperia mini ics) will automatically exit, because my game take to much ram and probably draw calls (but run very well on my pc), optimization is the only solution (reducing vertices/poly & texture size)

haha.. you want more free memory? stop using a SenseUI rom...
trust me, youll get used to it. sense is nothing special after you get the full affect of an AOSP base
ALSO, just because memory is not free doesnt mean the memory isnt being allocated correctly. androids memory management is very intelligent. usually you dont need any task killers

Maybe 2 years later google will optimize more this beautiful os so it wont become recource hungry OS, do we really need smartphone with 4gb ram? So it will become so smooth.
Ive tried samsung GS advance and its smooth, maybe samsung do better job in term of software. but oh, i forgot GS advance still on GB

Hello-
I currently have a stock TF700 32gb and am sick of the lag. I'm not what you call a "power" user; I use the tab mostly for games, web browsing, document reading. Cash is tight so I'm looking into flashing CROMi-X. I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to rooting/unlocking/flashing etc so please pardon what may seem to be naivete.
Just a few questions before I go ahead-
What kind of performance boost (re: lag) can I expect to see? Is it dependent on apps used?
Will my apps all work with the new ROM as they work on stock? Will they be able to be updated properly as devs release updates?
How does updating Google apps work? If I flash CROMi, do I need to reflash a new CROMi version every time Google updates Gmail, Keep, etc?
I see that CROMi makes use of Data2SD (pardon if I'm incorrect) - does that mean that the device will now completely ignore the 32GB of internal memory and use the microSD exclusively? I currently have a 32gb Sandisk UHS-1 Class 10 microsd in there with about 20gb free (space used by mostly music/vids). Is it recommended to use a larger capacity SD card?
Thanks!

This is for more advanced users (very advanced?) and is entirely optional. You don't have to use it to start with and your sd card will continue to function as it does now. In fact you can create the same performance as data2sd with the stock rom - just disable fsync in the setup installer
Good luck!
A (very) slightly more un-biased view:
Installing CROMi-X will make you feel as if you bought a new tablet. The one you actually thought you bought when getting the TF700.
Data2SD and ROM2SD are just options for this rom. You don't have to use them and the average user misses out on nothing IMHO without them.
The biggest performance improvement is selecting to set fsync to "off" during the installation process. The risk involved with it is minimal since this rom is stable as a rock. Establish a solid backup routine for your important data (Dopbox, Google drive etc) and it is nil.
CROMi-X is Asus stock based, so using and updating your apps works just like on stock - no difference.
Go for it. You will never look back.
Can you turn fsync off post-installation?

I am having two weird problems with my tablet since I installed CROMi-X
The first is that one site stopped showing in all of my browsers, except Opera in Offroad mode. It just affects one site (www.terra.com.br): when I was in stock, the site appeared as in desktop version. Now with CROMi-X, it just shows a derranged menu in plain text, and nothing eles: is not browsable anymore.
(thing is, Terra is one of the main news portals of my country, and I am really missing it)
The second problem: it seems unable to display video in lower resolutions. I am trying to watch some live streamings, and it locks on a frozen image with only audio running or choppy images with no audio, and crashes soon after. In my mobile phone (Sony Xperia SP, stock rom ), I am able to watch the videos, as when the quality falls for any reason, it seems to "re-calculate" the displaying, and keeps showing the images (just in a smaller screen). In the TF700 it got impossible. I am using the very same players in both devices (MX Player)
Perhaps is just a small tweak, a thing of settings that I am missing, but I really don't know what adjust should I do to have things working again around here. Somebody have any idea about what I should do?

The first problem is related to adblocking - that site must be infested. Open the /system/etc/hosts file in edit mode and search for terra and remove all the entries or disable adblocking form adaway.
The second one - what are some examples?
Im on xt1033 (no external sd). Im satisfied with the performance on my moto g but i hate it when i switch app (browser) sometimes it reloads the whole page as if it closes the browser because it doesnt have enough ram. I watched a couple of vids in yt about adding ram thru sd card, sadly ours dont have external sd card. I know we can partition our internal storage, right? Anyone here have done this? So we can add it as ram? I have 16gb model and i still have 7.5gb of free storage i have my phone for 8months now so im pretty sure im not needing more storage anytime soon. Anyone wanna try to experiment on this? So we can add another 500mb or a gig of ram?
Use a different ROM which has a little different policy of managing RAM... I too was frustrated by this problem but I have tried many ROMs but to no avail...Then I tried nexus 5 experience ROM and that has fixed the problem for me...So basically just use a custom ROM

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but I'm not open to try any custom rom as of the moment. As long as the stock is the current version. I will still go with the stock.

It's a 150 dollars device... it's even too much good for its price. My average ram consumption with the phone just rebooted is around 500mb, you need to check which apps use too much ram (like 30mb+) and close them or, with root, you can prevent them from boot. Anyway, apps that require big amount of ram will always reload if you leave them in background.
As said above, you can't expect much more of such a cheap device as the Moto G.
On the other hand, 1GB RAM is still quite good amount to run you off pretty much everything. You can have insufficient RAM only if you use your phone as a computer replacement, which is very bad idea.
In that case you should get for example Xperia Z, which is way more suitable for that purpose or Note2. This will cost you significantly more cash of course.
Also you can't increase your RAM off the storage of the device, being it sd or emmc. You can't repartition the emmc either, this will most likely hard brick the device.
Swap is not a substitute for RAM and it never have been.
Thanks, i already have the boot manager via xposed module but still im experiencing it. anyway it was just an idea. Coz i have a lot of space in my internal.
I just noticed that even if i still have 100+ mb of free ram background app still reloads when reopen.

I would recommend the Android Assistant app, it has a lot of features including a boot manager and also an easy button to free up RAM. There is ads tho unless you use Adaway.
My biggest gripe with the lack of ram on the G is when I'm trying to stream Pandora while using the navigation...I usually end up driving in silence until the annoying lady tells me where to go
The best way to prevent your problem is fine tuning minfree controls...I use trickster mod to make these settings...Do go through this link...It gives you details on how to fine tune them to solve your problem...

I still have my Xperia Tipo but these days it can barely hold enough memory to perform updates. I am still on 4.0.something of android.
If I went and upgraded to one of the 4.4 spins that are around, would it improve performance. I see some of the videos with some phones with more apps than I can due to memory shortage. Does going to 4.4 improve ram etc?
I would like to keep my phone for as long as possible but recent updates are requiring more memory.
Thanks
im using xperia tipo too. i recommend you to install cm11 but it have some issues. you can try 4.0 custom roms.
firstly, you must know cm11 won't bring you more performance than 4.0. but you can install more apps like clash of clans with 4.4.
stock rom using thumbnail file to show media things like photos an videos. cm11 don't using thumbnail file, so you can get 200-500 mb more space than stock 4.0.
Thank you Sanalinka,
It's not the speed I need, it's the ram and internal space. My phone was on Tesco mobile so I wonder if it was inefficient with the core memory.
I will seek out cm11 and let you know.
Many thanks again
