Hello everybody! I would have asked these questions in the cm11 thread, but it seems I need to reach 10 posts to do that.
I am experiencing a rather unpleasant slowness regarding the launcher. I'm using galaxyfreak's build 4 of the ROM. Apps and games seem to run smoothly, but when dropping down the status bar or scrolling through the settings or contacts, it's not so smooth at all.
And I would also like to ask how do I activate ART?
I've changed the ro.config.low_ram thing to false, but it's still slow. It's better but it's still slowish.
CM9 and Sense 4 ROMs are buttery smooth but I enjoy having the latest version of Android.
I'm using a class 10 sd-card, by the way.

on my class 4 sd card it runs a lot smoother try clean flash and I never try ART because I never need it.

I'm always wiping everything when flashing a rom. That's not the culprit.

Try Cody kernel and restore ro.config.low_ram to true
For ART goto settings>developer options>select runtime>art.
It's slow because of upstream changes. (not sure).
probably it will be fixed in beta 5

Hi guys,
Since the AOSP ICS builds I noticed that when the Phone app is not in memory it opens very slow. The next time you open it is almost instant. I thought that it would be fixed in the OTA, and even if it is a little faster it is still quite frustrating sometimes. Tried many roms/kernels and even if in some configurations it open faster, it is still slow.
Since I dont use the Phone that much, almost every time that I use it it is not in the memory and it is slow. Anyone has an idea to fix it, like a hack to make it persistent in the memory?
Thanks.
Bump. Is there a way to keep it in memory ? Maybe giving it a special permission like the launcher will help. I will take a look...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
This is my only problem with ICS - I've tried a few memory management programs to see if I could keep the dialer, or contacts, persistent in memory, but nothing works. When I launch the dialer, the application 'Contacts' ('com.android.contacts', which seems to be the new ICS 'People' app) is shown as an 'active application' in my 'SystemPanel' app off the Market, and as long as that stays as an active app then the dialer usually re-launches straight away when pressed the next time, sometimes with only a small bit of lag if the screen has been of for a minute or two. When the 'contacts' app is shut down by the system, I guess when you open other apps up that need memory, the dialer lags again.
All the time, the process 'Phone' ('com.android.phone') seem to be sitting there as an 'Internal System Process' and seems to be persistent, but that alone doesn't make the dialer launch quickly, the 'contacts' app needs to be active as well.
My observations, but I am not a techie.
actually i recently read a thread here on XDA that addressed this issue. it involved a command on the terminal that allowed you to prioritize certain apps. too bad i can't seem to find that thread anymore!
found it! it involves using the Renice command. you can run it as an init.d script
or demo it out using the prioritzer apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224125) kind thanks to this developer for creating the app. it works great!
all i did, was set the phone and contact app to -20 priority. it loads MUCH faster... try it and report back.
here are more links related to renice

Great, thanks for coming back on this, this sounds interesting - I'm not rooted at the moment, I will look into doing this as I think it would be worth it just to sort out this problem, as well as the other benefits. I will report back with my results!
I decided not to root in order to fix this, I've gone a different way with the dialer - exDialer has a polished looking ICS theme and I installed that to see how it would work, and it works great. It opens up consistently quicker, maybe due to the 'Keep in Memory' option that it has. I haven't had one laggy episode with it yet. Most other third party dialers don't look so good but this has a great ICS look, has smart dial, and a great call history function, and it's free (or you can donate as I did). Worth a look for anyone having similar problems.
I would still go back to the stock dialer if it worked properly, maybe a future update will solve this without having to root.
Hi guys,
an old thread, but i would like to now if there is something new about the "bug" that the Phone app opens slow if it is not in memory.
I'm new to the nexus s and running the newest skank Version.
On my Desire S the phone app opens much faster .
Cheers

One thing to keep in mind is that the Desire S has more RAM.
Mine opens up instantly however. Have you rebooted after installing the rom?
I remember on GB it was instant! On ICS it is indeed very slow. Hopefully JB fixes it...

That's funny because mine doesn't even take a second. :silly:
Same here if not in memory, i can easily notice certain lag on ics roms on my phone, when opening certain apps.
Yeah i did.
Hm Sounds like i have to live with it, or does someone have an alternative way to Set the priority for apps. The one mentioned earlier does Not work for me.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus S mit Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the suggestion to try exDialer. The phone lag was really irritating me and this did the trick. With ics dark theme, it's a perfect complement to bugles beast. Hopefully this will be fixed in 4.1, but till then ...

im using Singh MIUI ROM.
Did you guys noticed how slow scrolling up and down in menus is? This doesn't bother you?
If you scroll down or up (not just in menus, i noticed it in Whatsapp and Twitter as well), you can see that it's jittery and never smooth (although in Contacts it works fine).
I am wondering if this is ROM-specific or all MIUI roms suffer from it.
I had a vibrant and don't recall it being like this.
Thx
I've seen this in all the MIUI ROMs I have used, but only on the homescreen folders and a couple other places. You might try installing a different kernel, see if that helps.

Hey guys,
Im not allowed to post on the ROM thread. But i need help. I wanna have CM10 on my device which is a HTC sensation. I'v installed the 23 Sep update. Everything works fast. But when ever i open an app the animations are really choppy. You can actually see the frames. The ROM is great and fast but this low frame rate is annoying. I just wanna know the possible reasons or is it there in all CM10 sensation phones. And the update says Vsync and Triple Buffering enabled ;its even more annoying. Please Help.!!
P.S: Iv tried Sense 4 roms after flashing CM10 . Even Sense 3.6 roms. Animations work just fine. Its just with CM10 i face this problem.
Mine works fine, using cm-10-20120924-bruce2728-pyramid
Try downloading the Sep 24th version, backup anything you need backed up, then reboot into 4EXT recovery and format all partitions (excluding SDcard) from the wipe/format menu. After that is done, while still in recovery flash the cm-10-20120924-bruce2728-pyramid.zip file.
CM10 is snappier for me than any Sense ROM so this should fix the issue.
Thanks. But..

yeah man. Thats what i do every time. The ROM sure is fast. but the opening of apps animations is choppy for me. Even closing apps sometimes. Anyway il download the 24th sep build. Give it another shot. Thanks anyway.
Try today's test version with included new kernel!
9/24 build is running perfect no reboots,good battery life.
Bruce's J.b. 4.1.1
The only thing which I feel choppy in CM10 is still the flicking and scrolling up and down especially in a browser. However, the UI is smooth. Perhaps it'll still take a bit more time to reach fluidity for all apps running in CM10. By the way, I'm trying out the 24/9 build right now and there has been great improvements over the older builds.
Hmm

I did try out the 24/9 build . The animations were back to smooth. but then still scrolling through the app drawer isnt 60 fps by any means. even the fluidity while droping the notification menu is not perfect and pretty erratic. I mean isnt Vsync and triple buffering suposed to mean ultimate fluidity? or we arent experiencing because of the unavailiblity of proper graphics drivers? Is there a long way to go or is it near what jelly bean is on the GNex.
Hey everyone. So recently, I installed CM11 on my phone. Seeing that it had a lot of problems ( youtube, camera etc.) I decided to change it.
A similar rom was SlimRom. Everything went good, until I've hit some big problems( well not that big):
1)- Wireless and mobile data speed -
Here... well....(sigh). From 3mb/s download speed on my SGS2 I dropped down to... 100kb/s excellent connection? I mean that's ridiculous.
If there is any fix for this, or if anything is blocking my internet speed, I would like to know.
2) -Apk's were not installed cause of Nova launcher -(Solved)
Nova launcher seemed to not let my custom apks to be installed. This was solved by updating Nova Launcher to the most recent version and rebooting. Error message: This will erase Nova's desktop layout and replace it with the selected change. Are you sure? Cancel/OK
If you select OK, it will sent you to the home screen with apk installer being ignored. If you cancel, nothing happens.
3) -Pixelated youtube videos -(Solved)
The same problem like on Cyanogen. The fix for this is to install 4.4.3 gapps on your phone. I've did that, everything worked well.
4) -Random app crash- (Rare issue)
Every custom ROM has a problem, slimrom seemed to have less issue than other ROM's. Crashes occures when using Browser, but after installing CM Browser and Clean Master, it turned out pretty well.
I don't think I'm gonna change SlimKat unless it's going to appear more problems.

Nice report.
You should post it in the ROM thread: [ROM][4.4.2][01/04]SlimKat - I9100 [Build 4][WEEKLIES].
There are links at the top for "Reviews" and "Bug reports" ... that's the way you may help to improve the ROM
Thread closed and thank you.
Hi,
I'm getting an OPO for my girlfriend. What ROM should I flash on it or should I just go with stock?
Stability is the most important, since she's coming from an iPhone 4s and she hates 'ERRORS'

Install Sultanxda's ROM on her phone. It's been (for me) by far the most stable that fixes many OnePlus-specific bugs, such as all the Camera faults (Snapchat flash, double-exposure on flash, better at focus).
Do a clean install with TK GAPPs, depending on how much stuff she wants on it.
Install Google Camera; it's been the least buggy for me, and it just works. CameraNextMod is a bit wonky on this ROM due to its modified OxygenOS camera libs (which are superior to CM's). ColorOS camera is also a bit wonky. The Snapdragon Camera that comes with Sultanxda's ROM is kind of inconvenient to use, but works pretty well if you look past its user-unfriendliness.
Install Android System Webview and disable the AOSP webview.
Install Google Keyboard (or another if she has a preference) over the AOSP one.
Install Google Messenger over AOSP MMS.
Enable Developer options(tap 'Build Number' in About Phone multiple times) and scroll down, set Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale all to 0.75x
Install Nova Launcher and use it over Trebuchet, set Scroll Speed to "Fast" in Look & feel in the settings.
Good to go.
I'll be here first line support. I my self uses Boeffla and Nightly Exodus, but do not think she would be happy with daily updates of here phone.

Then dont update it daily, if you dont need to. Its perfectly fine to keep running a nightly if its stable and doesn't have any major bugs. You can always set it to check for updates monthly or not at all. If you're running it also you can be the tester and only update when you have found it to be running ok.
I've not had a single error or issue with 100% stock CM12S so I'd suggest you just leave it as it is

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into the Sultanxda Rom. Did not find the ROM thread with a search though.
I'm leaning to have the same setup that I got myself. 241 Modem, cm12.1 Exodus and color os cam.
