[Q] Xperia J NeutronMP - how to reduce heavy lags? - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

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.

[APK] seeder ! or project butter for gingerbread in Xperia Play

Hello Xplay users !
I initially posted this in dixperia2 thread but there's no reason you wouldn't try this in your roms
If you didn't know there is an app called seeder in this thread ( a thread witch grows every second) it worked for me and killed almost all the lags I had with my Play ,
everything is smoother than before ( for real ) !
I used to overclock my Play to 1.3ghz like the op recommended to have good performance but now I reverted to 1ghz with seeder activated and it's way better than before !
The app is not/not obviously working for a bunch of devices (especially the latest high end ones) but for my 1ghz/512mo it definitely makes a difference
there is also a controversy about HOW seeder works and if it harms battery but I didn't notice anything for 2 days now
The installation and uninstallation are easy just take the latest one (seeder apk v1.1) and make it launch at boot
The official thread is saturated with all types of comments so can we discuss here our experiences with seeder for our device only ?
I use lupus kernel V6 for GB and Ondemandx with SIO , with 170mo of zram
So just install the 1.1? Set on Boot and then what? Should i keep it or uninstall? How about a better installation process? Can i uninstall it afterwards?

sorry for that I totaly forgot about the dev section as I supposed this app is more likely to be in the "app" section !
@bhavei you just need to tap "activate" and tick "on boot" that's all , if you want to remove the tweak and all what it does just uninstall seeder
In the main treath there are more files... I tryed the 1.0 alpha and 1.1, but no diference at all... May be it requires another way to install it completely...
I'm wondering.
install ONLY version 1.1 , a common issue is the app doesn't get root permissions so check if it's the case
In my case I noticed that apps open quicker and multitasking has improved
There's a flashable zip also

Any disadvantages, you people who have tried it, that you want to share?
I tried it, and right now i see immediate removal of lag of games that i play that are usually laggy. I would have to test it for days (it could be placebo) before i decide if this really works.
I read some of the threads discussing it, and all i can say right now (in layman terms) is that:
According to the app maker, there is lag coming from random number generation, because the os itself did not prepare enough cached random numbers. There seems to be lag when the a random number is requested and the one prepearing the random number (a file called '/dev/random') has no random number ready to give (like you just woke up somebody and he has to give you something, i guess lol).
According to some respectable android experts, nobody uses '/dev/random' but those security stuff (ssl etc.), so it does not really work.
My 2 cents: Random numbers are obviously used in games. It may also be used in special effects. Maybe it fixes those stuff. Although from what i read, those random numbers does not use the affected file '/dev/random' (i am not sure about this, any experts?).
Well right now it is working for me. According to cpu spy, i still have deep sleep and the cpu does not work like it is always in 'performance' mode.
Well that's disappointing. The title of the thread says project butter for gingerbread, and I was like "where have I been?!?!", but no. No project butter for me. :crying:
Pocketnow made a video on how this actually works and it reveals that it doesn't really help, but instead it makes the phone run at a higher frequency for longer, so it seems like it performs better.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhH4Gf8Az5o
it will not be obvious for a nexus7-quad-core-possessors to see if it helps with lags (because a nexus7 isn't supposed to have lags) , if you have a nexus7 and it lags then there is a problem in the first place !! and again , no one seams to know HOW it works the only thing a can assure you is that it doesn't eat battery while gives better performance in my Xplay
It does help and it's built in to turbo kernel

Playing Snes9x with internet 2d/edge activated about 35 minutes my battery drops about 20%. (oc 1.1 ghz)
With seeder installed my consumption now is 13%
if manuacturers and android developers taked more serious time to optimize our devices instead of doubling numbers of cores every year we would have experienced jellybean in older devices. I'm envying iphone users only for this point.
I'm using this file with my rooted stock rom and kernel. I don't see any advantages and disadvantages. All looks same.

Anyone else experiencing issues running out of RAM?

Pretty sure the device is just getting old but I've been running out of RAM way too constantly causing many processes (including system processes) to be killed and in a constant restarting state. The only way to fix this is to restart my phone.
I'm on the latest CM10.1 Nightly, using the 7.3 marmite kernel (which I believe has the BIGMEM patch to add a bit more RAM). I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing thing or if it's a ROM problem. And yes, I tend to fully close apps fully before exiting it so it's not hanging around in memory.
Anyone?
Yes absolutely I am in the same boat. I am running the latest M build of CM10.1 and this is driving me nuts. I think this is a ROM problem I ran stock 4.1.2 for a long time and I could go days without a reboot with a big mem kernel.
Maybe apps are using more and more memory as well now? I just don't remember CM being like this it has only been recently that something has gone horribly wrong.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
My mom uses Nexus S running stock 4.1.2 and she also faces the running out of RAM. The phone is damn slow and most of the time is left with only 20MB of free RAM. I was thinking of installing CM 10.1 to see if it helps.
I have the exact same problem with 4.2.X ROMs. My phone runs out of memory and becomes sluggish. If I reboot it would be fine for a day or two and then slow again. This is why I am still in cm 10 stable.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
Do any of have the "hold back button to kill app" activated. This is truly the best and easiest way to kill the app from using the memory.
Also do u guys have ur apps on ur SD card or on the phone memory. Having the apps on the SD card allows for a better responsive phone.
Try a different ROM that has less on it. Especially"Google now" its a memory hog! Some ROMs like Slimbean have to option to not install it when installing the ROM & Gapps.
Install the ROM without extras. If it works fine before ur added apps then it could be an app that is also killing ur memory.
Also if u read ur ROMs thread, people will recommend a certain kernel that works well with it. A newer kernel can & will improve the phone's performance by far... But tread carefully since it can also cause more issues if used improperly.
Lastly this phone is like any other computer, it needs maintenance so make it a simple habit of rebooting it every night just as u go to bed so it can reset and charge the battery properly without anything extra running in the background.
Good luck

Yes, I also have the same problem. Right now I'm running CM 10.0 stable.
The ROM is quite stable and the battery life is good. But every 3 - 4 days I have to reboot my phone because it becomes very slow.
I think JB is not meant for our device. I'm gonna try Slim Bean next and see how it performs. If it's still slow, I'm going back to Gingerbread.

I'm running Slim-Bean 4.2.2 on my Nexus S and it's just as bad as CM 10.1. JB was just not meant for a device that is now 2.5 years old.
GB is really where I have seen optimal performance from my device, but CM 9 works pretty well too.
I did have problems. After downloading Greenify my phone stopped acting so slow as well as having about double the battery life.

Greenify, though seems to work, is one of the apps that gets killed when running out of ram. The apps I'm using to free RAM (Tasker, Greenify, etc) all want to get killed when running out of RAM. :\
Guys just go back to CM10 then you'll have more free ram 4.1.2 is the best os version for our phones!

Honestly guys try the greenify app it really is magic. Even if greenify gets killed the apps that it has hibernated won't come out of it unless you launch an app. And greenify will start again automatically it won't remain killed.

[discussion][gamers] lag

Yes.
Lag.
Even the word sounds so annoying.
LAAAAG.
One way or another, it gets to you.
No matter how many tweaks you have installed, no matter how many mods you have installed.
It gets to you. No matter what ROM you use.
Yes, although I'm sorry to say, even on XboosT the lag very, very slowly, very gradually, sets in. (ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE TO DEV. I still love you )
And I go berserk , wanting to throw my phone out the window.
Why?
Till now, in all of the 3 ROMs that I've tried, (Stock .23 CM10, and XboosT) the lag does set in, no matter what you do. Isn't there a solution? I know my phone is low-end, but if it can handle the load(proved by the gr8 just-after-flash performance), why does it LAG?!
Is it just me?
Or are others on the same boat too?
How do you tackle with LAG?

Yeah sure, CM10 is good.
But I'm centred around gaming...
I believe you must have noticed that sometimes games run so silky smooth that you could kiss the screen.
But then, out of the blue it lags like hell.
That is what irritates me.

That is because other system apps run in background
Buy greenify pro[donation pack or something] and hibernate a few system apps which take a lot of ram.
That sure will solve the problem.
PS: This is not a gaming phone,so you shouldn't be expecting too much out of it.

You lucky, lucky J people.
I get lag only in big games, like GTA Vice City and Asphalt 8. I'm downloading Asphalt 7 right now, to see if it works.
For anti-lag, I OC to 1.3 Ghz, set the governor to performance, allow purging of assets and kernel samepage merging (all this from Settings > Performance in CM10). Then I greenify everything Google and then some other stuff.
I haven't used XBoost for too long (just long enough to know I liked CM better, sorry Xmoose), so I can't comment on how good its gaming performance is.
Another thing - keep all the heavy games in the part of the storage dedicated to apps. That place is extremely fast, comparable to a Class 8 microSD.
What do you expect from a Snapdragon S1 and an Adreno 200? You can install over 9000 placebo-tweaks, but not remove lag because hardware can't handle the games.

well I placed the issue of Pandora in there so perhaps someone who uses the phone the same way could input on what they use and that its comparable to what I am looking for.
I would just dump rom after rom until I find something but time for me is super precious these next couple months.
A chart is great but remember Im not using a lot of the features the charts will describe.
Im only using it for google voice (to see my calls in the gym), pandora, play store, and play music, then some web browsing of course.
I actually turned off all the phone and data features to hopefully conserve battery life.

I just read it. I can try the slim rom. Im going to try installing devil kernel later first and see if it helps.
Still just hoping someone who is utilizing the same features I am can drop in and give their input. Not saying any rom is bad or better just looking to save some time, Im on the road a lot the next few months and the gym is my only real down time. Last night it was quite frustrating dealing with pandora.

The rom version you are using is partly to blame, newer isn't always better, go back to a previous version and install Devil.. the same for Slim, I wouldn't suggest passing 3.0 as of right now and Illusion has a couple issues, but it has serious speed...

I just tried this version, and it does seem a bit faster than the original AOSP.. It is fast, but not very smooth, as scrolling seems rather jittery...

Try Illusion 3/16 ( I made a bootable version, as the original had a flaw in the updater script, link is on the page) and flash the boot.img from your AOSP rom.. I was getting 5500's in antutu on stock speeds and 6500's overclocked, smooth scrolling and better battery life as well...
Don't try Devil with this rom as it breaks the playstore..
fastest of them all
no need for custom kernel just boot up latest nightlie from Cyanfox and cyanfox gapps and it's the fastest 4.4 rom for nexus s there is ! !! :laugh::laugh:

I haven't tested Cyanfox since 2.02, it is a quick rom.. the site is down, gearing up for version 3, I wonder if our device will still be supported?.. C-rom is very fast with Devil kernel, (the initial release, the second release is slightly slower than the first) and has tested higher than any rom I've tried to date, even higher than when I tested Cyanfox.. If our device is supported in version 3, I hope the rotation bug is fixed..

Real Racing 3 Issue

Hi, did u test RR3 in Maximus? I have big stutter, i cant force to colse apk, i dont see even Task Manager in menu, but in asopa i want to instal HTC Task manager. In cm 12.1 RR3 works better, but firt of all i want to have sense, and cm 12.1 crash when i play and somebody calls, or text me. When i mean crash i mean, he stops the game, frezze system, cut the incoming call and realod to home menu. A add kernel elementalx OC 1,7Ghz + GPU 450 but null resoult.
Anybody know something?

Yes, we know something. You're trying to play one of the most demanding games (in terms of resources) on a 4 years old device, on an old ROM and you expect to have it work flawless. Guess what...not gonna happen. It's like trying to play Crysis 3 or FarCry 3 on a Pentium 4 with a 512 MB graphic card.

Hmm, this is weird. When I install Cm 11 OPO stock edition/12.1 Real Racing works hmm fine, but i dont like cm, and cm have other issue. On maximus this game is baerly playable, but sense 5 is beautiful. Stock 4.1.1 works better then Maximus, but worse then CM. I must say this phone is very unstable, I flash couple roms couple times and one times evrything works fine, but when i flash again to stock and then again maximus, i lost that stable when i flash before.
I wipe everything, system, cashe, data, internal, boot. davlk. I use CWM, TWRP and i must say this my phone dosent like me.

Thats because Sense will put a high load on the phone already so starting a game which demand even more CPU, memory and graphic resources wont help it perform better. So in terms of performance, a CM or AOSP based ROM will theoretically be better.
On the other hand, Sense based ROMs are using proprietary HTC drivers that are optimized for our device, while CM/AOSP uses manufacturer generic drivers.
Bottom line is that you have to choose. It's depending on what you want but playing recent and graphic intensive games it's not one of this phone's strongest points. Probably the lag is mostly caused by the less memory we have as our device, despite having 1 GB RAM, was good at this point 3 years ago. Nowadays devices with 1 GB RAM are barely running Lollipop and 2 GB became the new standard

Meaby I noob but i cant to figure out this phone, now i back totally to stock, lock bootloader, s-on and Rom 4.1.1 and.......... Real Racing 3 works fine no lag, no stutter. Like i said before this phone is very unstable.
Time to move forward and get Smart with 2Gb ram and quad core, but i love this phone, he brings me so cheerful memories.
Edit:
Hey One more question... meaby this unstable is casue by battery? This phone have ~2 years, it is possible that battery cause all this issue?

Very unlikely. Battery could last longer if it's new but won't affect performance in such way. My phone is 3 years old and is still working ok. I'm not playing games with it and battery gives me only about 15 hours with 3 hrs SOT but it's still fine for any other task I used to.
