High Load in cm10 and Roms based on it? - LG Optimus 3D

Hello,
I have noticed, that the load* (not the CPU%) under several CM10 (or higher) based roms is very high, i.e. >2.
This is true for PACMAN, JellyBam and the CM10 nightly.
Can someone please have a check by activating the CPU-Stat-Overlay and post the line that looks like 2.7/3.0/2.0?
Is this a known problem? I once had a nightly of CM10 on the Phone, which ran very well. I do not think, that it had this problem...
I do not have this Problem with OptimusRS which is based on the Official ICS. Here, the load is lower by a factor of 10.
*in contrast to the CPU usage (%), the load also captures if the system is blocked by something other than the CPU (I/O, ...)
Greetings,
Hendrik

Well, that's quite high, still.
Was that after the device was ideling??
When I have not used the phone for 15 min, I get 0.02/0.02/0.02.
Your values show that your phone is really busy (values > 1 means that it is over-loaded).
Are you happy with the responsivenes of the phone?

I kept my device idle for 5 mins then checked all three vr above 1. But my mobile seems to be smooth when runnning single app but while multitasking device becomes very slow.

The first value is now, the second 5 minutes ago, the last 15 minutes ago.
So, your device/your Rom seems to have the same problem I experienced.
I am surprised, I am the first to complain?!

I come back to CM-Based rom today...and i noticed that in Jellybam and also Bernie's rom the CPU usage is really high...the cpu stays every time at the higher frequence and the back of the phone is really hot! I noticed this problem also with MIUI rom that are also CM Based, i need to change kernel for trying correctly Bernie rom! With Pesach kernel for CM10.1 the thing seems good..but the phone stucks ever at the minimum frequence...and it never go on deep sleep!
Is really strange! I tried bernie's also when it came out some time ago but it hadn't this problem! I think that is a recent problem!

Install wakelock to see who do that. put wifi to sleep when screen is off. Uninstall the programs that you do not need.

Well, I suspect the obstacle might be the CPU driver - I don't know if LG have ever used Texas Instruments' default values or just made them up by themselves although I suspect it would be the latter since I have used Tegra 2 based phone before (hacked, of course), and it's surprisingly smooth so there may be explanation somewhere in either second-stage BIOS or in the kernel for the 3D phone and no I am not pointing the finger at any developers here as there are variables that have to be checked down.

I don't understand, what you are saying...
For me, it is not yet clear, whether this problem exists on every phone, and whether it is on every rom.
When I started using CM10, I did not have this impression. Does someone have an old version on CM10 and could check?
What about the others? What are your LOADs?
There must be more users...
Greetings,
Hendrik

CM10 only load the values which are in the kernel which you can install separately, and some kernels have better CPU values. Not to mention there is 410 MB assigned to CPU.
However in some case, BIOS is what make or break this phone (BIOS boots up first and displays red or silver LG logo depending on whether BIOS is unlocked or not, and is responsible for loading Linux kernel, thus booting Android OS up). So it's hard to say but I might want to try assemble the BIOS on my own and see if problem persists in some OS images (FYI, BIOS development is much harder than Android OS development).

Hello,
I think, it is worth to go back to an older CM10 Version, because I am quite sure, that it was better there.
What really surprises me is, that I am the first and more or less only one to complain. For me, PACMAN and JellyBam were unusable, CM10 was also quite bad.

You're not the only one...some days ago i went back to CM-Based roms and i noticed that they never go in deep sleep! And the phone goes hot...the only rom where i hadn't this problems is the Baked Blackbean by kidkoala...also MIUI roms have this problem!

Hello,
is there anything new on this topic?
Can anyone using CM10 or higher confirm, that he does NOT have this problem?
(to check:
Settings-->Developer Settings (very bottom) --> Display CPU Usage (far down)
let the phone rest some Minutes.
An Overlay is shown. The first three lines are of interest
--> Are the values low, around 0.1? --> no Problem, all good.
--> Are the values high, around 1 or higher --> you have the Problem.

Updated:(3/6/2011) Lets Solve G2x Freezing Issue (Solved:Random Freezing in standby)

I know there are countless threads related to G2x Problems but none of the threads are focusing on isolating the reasons of Freezing Issue. I have recently upgraded my phone from Galaxy S Vibrant to G2x and i have to say i love the hardware and performance. Only Issue for me is random freezing.
After using the phone for 2 weeks and trying 3 roms
1. Stock
2. EB 1.04
3. Dark Sinister 1.1
I have come to a conclusion that kernel and rom is not the solution. At least not for me.
So i will try to solve the problem using hardware testing.
From my past 2 weeks experience.
1. Phone Freezes at night during charging
2. Phone Freezes when ever i turn off/on wifi and bluetooth and gps and Data (4g/3g) (Still have to figure out which of them is the cause. Cause i usually turn all off when i need to save battery).
Test Day 1
For Reason 1
I am using SetCpu and have changed Min from 216 to 312Mhz. I am trying this because i think very low cpu usage in standby for a very long period causes the phone to freeze. Its a Hunch i am not sure.
For Reason 2
I will keep wifi, Bluetooth and GPS off.
I will keep 4g/3g Data On all the time.
To My Surprise its been 16 hours no freeze. It includes charging at night. Lets see how long i can go without a freeze. Upon freezing i will make some changes.
Update 31/5/2011 (Test Day 2)
Ok its been more than 40 hours and not a single crash...
I removed the following possibilities as well....
It wont crash upon excessive usage.
Also Normal Heat up does not cause the crash.
As i have been playing Samurai II Vengeance all day long... Until I ended it. Several times charging along playing. I even played it on TV using HDMI. Not a single crash. I used to have around 3 crashes a day on stock rom when i unboxed my new G2x.
I also started using GPS from today. So lets see how it goes. I will update it every 24 hour.
Update 3/6/2011 (Test Day 5)
Ok i am considering Random Freezing On standby as solved because i havent had a single freeze at night after setting CPU Clock at 312 MHz using SetCPU. There are also other comments that back up my solution. I am considering this the solution of one problem.
2nd Issue of freezing while using cell phone apps is because of certain applications that are either buggy or not compatible with tegra Platform. For that i will start another thread with individual application testing for all apps that can cause the system to freeze or crash.
Please Discuss apps System Bloat-ware/User Apps that cause your G2x to Crash or Freeze in the following thread i created:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14399089
Thanks for all the feedback.
Luckily I dont get that issue, buy I think this is a good test :u
Good point. I have not had these issues but i do have trinity kernel and minimum speed is 300
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel
All you have to do is be careful what apps you install. I've had the phone for over a month and the one time it rebooted or froze was when I used an app the phone didn't agree with.
I am almost certain that people are experiencing reboots and freezing because of the apps they have on their phone. Hopefully the update will solve the problem because it shouldn't be that way.

In my opinion, the shut down has to do with temperature of the phone. As long as I keep the phone cool by not charging and multitask with other things, then my phone is fine.

I used to think the same thing but the problem is my phone gets hot and works fine. I am almost positive it has something to do with an issue in the kernel that's being exposed by certain apps. My Xoom on release had reboots and SOD and it went away with app updates and removals. It also has Tegra 2

Do you or @kangxi remember what Apps gave you issues?
it has to be a driver issue, its virtually the only explanation for why devs have not hammered it out yet or even CM7 team for that matter... it has problems on pure AOSP which leaves drivers or overheating (unlikely)... LG has to come up with the fix because they know their drivers and hardware better than everyone else...
Well the obvious problem I see is that they are all based on the stock rom. Try using one build from AOSP or a CM variety.
I didn't stay stock long but I did have reboot using the leaked Gingerbread (which is what EB is built from). I don't follow it but one is based off the stock 2.2.2 rom and the other is based off the leaked 2.3.3 rom.
I had nothing but problems with the stock roms. Thus your problem I think. Move over to Bionic, CM7, Gigglebread, or something.
I tested my phone and I didn't have a reset in like 5 days (which then my battery died overnight because I forgot to plug it in). I usually crackflash the CM nightlies and haven't had any problems with reboots or any issues requiring a reboot (aside from the flashlight killing audio, but just don't use it).
There are definitely two problems - software and the battery. I used to way more problems until I exchanged the battery for a new one and that solved most of my issues. The issues that remain are definitely software based.

Thanks for this information/ Changing the minimum speed didnt affect the battery life but it has survived two nights without crashing. So i am planning to keep it at 312Mhz min.

I Completely Agree with you. Some Applications do cause system crashes. But I have removed all the t-mobile bloatware and i only have few games and GPS apps. All games are from tegra zone. So I am sure they are supported.
For GPS App i am using Copilot and it didnt crash on me once.
I just installed setcpu and set minimum to 312. I'm keeping everything else the same to see if this change has any difference. Will report back.

Looks like you are gaining progress. Sounds like keeping the processor revved up a little more does the trick.
It would be a simple fix for people to try that have reboot issues. I can't get mine to reboot, so unfortunately I cannot help you. My contribution was to resist from flashing for as long as possible to test how long I could get my "uptime" to. I got up to 127 hours when I passed out without charging it.
I'm running 20 hours now because I forgot to charge it again (seems to be my only problem, lol).
Looks like you may have fixed your rebooting issues. It sounds feasible that the clock speed could be causing it. I never had a reboot so I can't help you out but I can tell you that I have a profile under SETCPU that clocks it at 216 min and 216 max when the display is off and I don't have a problem. I wonder why the low clock speeds would only effect certain devices? Maybe it's certain apps that stay running in the background (since there poorly written) that require higher clock speeds than what the G2X gives at idle?

I've definitely noticed that the G2X wakes up faster and smoother (fade in from screen off) when min is set to 312mhz that's for sure. if this is all it will take to stop the reboots, I'll be super happy because otherwise this phone is just amazing.

Have you noticed any changes in battery usage? I haven't really played around with SETCPU much but can the clock speed be set lower and if it can, have you tried slightly lower settings than 312mhz?
y are u guys using setcpu? and its def cuz the min is too low faux has his at 400 and no problems morfic also has his a little higher then what is it i think 216?? thats too low thats y setcpu isnt supported yet.....pimp my cpu
Someone asked me a question earlier. Only app I had issues with was fring. Soon as I opened it and started playing around with it, phone rebooted.
I uninstalled and it never happened again.

No clue what you're trying to say but setCPU works fine. At startup for first time I selected Tegra2 and it works great. I have max set to 1000 and min to 312mhz (default was min to 216mhz). I'm running stock ROM but with root. that's all.

A reason might be a underclock of the processor in order to increase the battery life. You might want to install ROM Toolbox and check at what frequency is the processor working (the device will need to be rooted)
You can also check if the processor is getting hot >43 degrees(battery booster on the market can help you with that)
Please reply with response and if my post helped press on thanks
I tried using different launchers - didn't help.
As to the processor frequency thing - it might very well be the case, since the screen wakes up instantly when I'm listening to music (so using more processor power).
I'll check that out as soon as I figure out how to flash 2.3.4

After Upgrading to 2.3.4 rooting and removing twlauncher I have no lag problems any more, ADW, Launcher Pro and Zeam are all working just fine. I know of others that have upgraded to 2.3.4 and still have a 2s lag when waking the phone so IMHO removing twlauncher may be key....
Yeah, but by removing TW, won't Kies stop working?
ETA:
After rooting my phone and installing CPU Master, I can honestly say it is, as mentioned before, because of the CPU.
It's usually down to 250mhz ondemand when sleeping, and when i bumped it up to 800 performance, it instantly turned on, no delay.
Well I personally don't see the need for Kies apart from providing the USB drivers so that doesn't really bother me...... but if you were a big Kies user then I guess that would be a show stopper .....

Personally I didn't remove TWLAUNCHER but just froze it(in case I need it later). I also made a backup with it and installed go launcher. I am very satisfied.
Edit : application is Titanium Backup (I think the best application there is for android)
I did what you said, and it still hasn't changed the screen sleep lag.
It might be a tad bit quicker, but not a lot.
This is a duplicate thread with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284850
Basically there is nothing you can do except increase your cpu frequency which will decrease (drastically) your battery life.
I'm afraid that I can't agree with it being a CPU frequency scaling issue. My CPU frequency is also going down to 245Mhz on no or low demand and I have no lag...

Mikolas is refering to the delay the phone has when trying to unlock it. It takes about 2.5 seconds for the screen to turn on.
I also have no lag when waking up the phone .... after pressing home or power I get the lock screen in under a second. BTW if I monitor the current CPU frequency with setCPU then I can see it scale the frequency down to 245 while the screen ist still on and experience no lags when resuming phone use ..... if your experiencing lags of 2.5s then IMHO it must have another cause.

[Q] Kernel Recommendations

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.

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.

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

[Q] Xperia J NeutronMP - how to reduce heavy lags?

Hi,
I'm using a Xperia J with Cyanogenmod 10.1(month ago installed) and the NeutronMP, because I have some 24 Bit/96kHz flacs, which only NeutronMP undestands them. The little better Quality is a reason too. But every time, when I'm using this, i get some heavy lags and most of the time listening to music isn't very nice.
Firstly, what's the reason for that? Too low CPU/RAM, low performance on sd card? Every time I've looked in task manager, it seems to be (relative) normal. In addition, i haven't got any performance hungry apps running in background.
Secondly, how can I reduce this? What would be most effective?
Thanks in advance,
Lg
CM 10.1 for J was never stable stick to CM 10 and don't use that crappy audio engine

Do you mean Neutron with "crappy audio engine"? I Haven't found a alternate player, so i can't choose.
I will install CM 10 later. Other things i could do?
thanks anyway.
EDIT: furthermore, i think "that crappy audio engine" is the reason, it can play all of my files.

I stuck with stock when I got my J, I did however flash a new kernel to allow me to overclock to 1.3ghz. Do a search for vengence kernel and flash that. Don't flash the newest one though, stick with v1.40 (later versions do not have oc facility)
You see, most people think OC actually speeds up their phone, well it doesn't. Only wastes battery, get CM 10 and use Riches Kernel or use my ROM if you want a stable and fast jellybean.
Of course overclocking speeds up the phone. You are increasing your CPU speed to the maximum that the hardware will allow. Yes there will be slightly less battery life, but that's a given. Its swings and roundabouts. Personally I find that there isn't a noticeable difference in mine (I still get 2 days on regular usage), but with the extra 300MHz I get from overclocking I no longer have the heavy lagging I had on the stock kernel. If there are no benefits from oc, how do you explain all the tests that prove you wrong?

Thanks for your ideas, i will test both versions. But i don't know really, what exact is too less.
EDIT: btw, I've installed CM 10, and it isn't really better. But anyway, i didn't thought it would change the world.
which rom you installed CM 10.1 ?

Now I have installed this one: [projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10] (FXP248). I thought, i had installed this one: [projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10-1], but i can't find the package; so it could also have been this: [projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10-2] (FXP248).
But it really doesn't matter, what of these versions I had installed, because they have all the same (bad) performance for my NeutronMP. Right?
If you wanted to stick with cm10, I think that Rom supports the vengeance kernel so you could get the best of both worlds

so you tell us, you installed unsupported CM 10.1 / 10.2 & your phone is laggy & not working it;s functions ? :laugh: :laugh:
i loled , because you installed unsupported CM versions to your phone & says its very laggy lol
be careful next time, because maybe it'll end with soft brick or hard brick like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550937 ( phone main board change after he installed that rom )
There are many more ways to improve a phone's performance
Install A Custom Rom,
Mods like Supercharger or Crossbreeder which benfit battery life
OCing is not bad but it is also not beneficiary for the device

My phone only is lagging, when I'm using NeutronMP, never with other apps. (I don't use other performance hungry apps like games, but anyway.)
I asked this, because I've had the same problems when I've used NeutronMP with the stock android.
@ all: thanks for your replies.

[Q] CM 11 with ION by sultanxda stability problems

installed newest
(date 27.1.2014 with GAPPS modular mini from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073)
did full wipe (factory reset, system, cache) as in info
have some major problems with stability, looks like system degrades quickly after leaving screen off mode
After restart I can set up everything fine, can use network, launch apps, change system settings etc
but after first turning off and turning on lock screen starts to show first problems, dots (I'm using pattern unlock) sometimes start to activate on their own, not always but sometimes this happens, but I'm still able to logon...
after second 'screen off' and 'screen on' I'm having big problems trying to unlock screen - sometime dot's don't react to touches, sometimes they do not end connecting after taking away finger from screen...
after third off/on I'm unable to pass unlock screen - it becomes unresponsive, dots start to connect randomly, sometime even 'emergency calls' gets activated...
what can cause this? full phone restart appears to fix problems for short time, but after few off/on have problems agains...
this did not happen in builds from few months ago
tried to set higher min cpu frequency to 384MHz but that doesn't help
other things that I chaged are:
- cpu governor -> badass
- i/o -> noop
- active 'allow purging of assets'
anyone got ideas what could cause this? and how to fix
phone:
htc sensation xe, unlocked
hboot 1.29, radio 11.24a.3504.31_m
can provide other info if needed
It's easy to be fixed, install stock rom.

thank you, very helpful
What firmware are you on? Did you experience any of these problems on any other rom?
You say the dots connect themselves. As if the touchscreen is used? Sounds somehow like a broken digitizer.

Do you know how many threads like yours have been opened recently? Is it that hard to search and why do you expect flawless rom?
When will people learn, it's unofficial, it's custom, it's a new android version tied to the old hardware with the old drivers, it will, probably never be perfect.

I must have missed all of these threads. There were some threads about cm11 but they had other issues.
This phone is 3 years old and you're using Badass. Since you want more performance, set your CPU governor to Ondemand and set I/O scheduler to BFQ or SIO.

ok, will try
atm had to move back to previous cm 10.1 based on 4.2.2 prepared few months ago, it appears to work much better but still have some stability issues. Doesn't look like problem with touch screen as most (now like 97%) it works flawlessly... yeah, not 100% so it could be hardware problem, just that didn't happen before
and yeah, I know these are unstable, beta like, etc roms - I like to test new features on my sens xe and one prepared by sultanxda is atm the best for me, keep up great work and thank you for time spent working on this rom.

Why not try my CM10.2 ROM? CM10.2 is far more stable than CM11, and, personally, CM10.2 feels smoother than CM11.
first of all - sorry for misinformation but I found cause of my problems with interface... looks like minimal amount of water must have got under the cover when I few days ago applied new screen protection, yesterday I got this idea of what could cause this sudden problems... few hours phone stayed on the room heater (not too hot ofc) and touch screen problems are gone! yeah, tbh I love this phone and was very angry thinking I'd have to replace it, now I don't have to
back to rom - atm back to your (sultan) rom based on CM 11 with update from 29.1.2014, it has some small problems but I like to test new features
problems I've found so far:
- less responsive and smooth
- launcher3 doesn't allow to create new home screens on the left, had to create new to the right then make some rearangments before I got things right
- some widget resize problems under launcher3
- other small problems all I can live with
but I like more available memory and better battery life, going to test ART soon
and it is good that messanging is back, hangouts is just... not for me
Why cant i find my phone contacts on SIM ??? Its say no contacts found? When i import some numbers from vCard from SD why cant i move them to SIM???
cm10.2 - cm11

I had fresh install, but configured cpu clock speed 1674 mhz (maybe the problem ?)
And i had the same symptom describe by Firehawk989 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49938883&postcount=3341
Any way i run already with your CM11 and it seem more stable for me except a little problem
