[Q] Built in keyboard - more responsive? Increase its priority? - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the built in keyboard on the galaxy note 12.2, I find it doesn't keep up with my typing, that is, sometimes the keyboard seems laggy.
So is there an app that I can use to increase the thread priority of the keyboard to *real time* ?

Do you have something running in the background? My keyboard does not lag. I don't hunt and peck but am a speed typist..

So is there an app that I can use to increase the thread priority of *any* process/app for the Galaxy Note 12.2? Specifically though the keyboard process to *real time* ?
Thanks!

Not trying to spam but I would like to ask this one last time. Is anybody aware of an xposed module possibly that I could use to increase the thread priority of the built in keyboard? Thanks.

Simple thing would be to change cpu governor to performance. If that helps look for a way to trigger cpu freq. on keyboard and maybe increase nice prioroty
I just recently used 3c toolboxs which installed xposed framework module that allows the change of priorities based on process.
Pretty sure your going to need root.

Better yet use a physical keyboard hooked up via cable and adapter.

No0b guide!
Upon the recommendation of one of the thread followers, I decided to put together this thread to help noobs getting started. Hope it helps, but if you need more assistance, PM me and I can help in greater detail.
Kernels
It comes with the up-to-date CM kernel, however there are other ones that you can try! You can always use the Kernel Manager app in the market, but I'll also provide links to the threads and basic explanations of the most popular ones below.
Godm0de: toastcfh is a legendary kernel master on XDA, and he constructed this excellent kernel a ways back. It is the best non-SBC kernel, in my humble opinion. It includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8.
Tiamat: an excellent kernel, available in both SBC and non-SBC. It also includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and the most recent version is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8. I personally have used the most recent SBC version (4.1.0), and really like the new lagfree governor. Personally, however, I use the famous 3.3.7 kernel, which gives unparalleled battery life.
Savaged Zen: although it is no longer in development, this kernel is absolutely wonderful, and I was a staunch supporter for a long time. The final version is 2.2.1, and includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, comes in both CFS and BFS versions, comes in both SBC and non-SBC versions, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-7.
I won't go into detail about all of those individual features (that is what Google is for), however I will single out SBC because of previous debate on the topic. SBC is essentially a “trickle charge” of the battery, or charging more than 100% to fully maximize the charging amount. Non-SBC kernels charge to 100%, then discharge to 90%, and recharge to 100%, and continue this cycle while still showing 100% in the top bar. This is why when you pull the phone off of the charger it instantly drops down to 90%. There have been reports of exploding batteries when SBC was first introduced, however these were quickly dismissed by many as cheap Chinese batteries (or other rumor-based exaggerations), and there have been no reported cases since this time. Point is that SBC is considered use at-your-own-risk, although I've used SBC kernels nonstop for nearly a year and have not had problems. Just an advisory notice.
SetCPU
To control how your kernel works with your CPU, you can use the SetCPU app that is available for $1.99 in the market, or for free from that thread (support the developer if you can, its worth it). This app will let you set what minimum and maximum frequencies you want (to overclock, underclock, etc), and how the CPU scales within that range. You can also use different governors, which affect the timing of that scaling from one frequency to the next based on different heuristic algorithms.
Vipermod
Vipermod is a mod that allows you to undervolt to a greater extent than what most kernels will come with. You see, kernel developers make their kernel with the target of stability, so they provide appropriate power at various frequencies to allow most users to enjoy it without further modification. That said, many phones are capable of using less power to effectively run at these frequencies, which will increase battery life. The tutorial to install and use the mod can be found on the thread, but just keep in mind that if a phone cannot handle a certain frequency, you'll get random reboots when the frequency scaling is tested. Hence, the general philosophy is to start by undervolting by -100mV, and if you get a random reboot, to increase by increments of 25mV until you no longer get those reboots. Personally, mine stopped rebooting at -50mV, and I've seen significant battery savings at this level.
Keep in mind that only certain kernels have the structure to allow this mod to work. When you try to run it, your phone will tell you if it can't run on that kernel (don't worry, it doesn't break anything, it just sucks).
Sysctl Config
The Sysctl Config app is available for free in the market, and allows you modify how your kernel frees up system resources (i.e., closes background apps, manages open apps, etc.). I won't go into what the settings mean (Google can do that for you), but the basic premise is this:
Ratio Values mean that the higher the number, the greater the percentage of app cache is stored in memory before being cleared by the system.
Cache Pressure means the pressure the system exerts on apps to close when pushed to the background.
Most kernels default with the settings of Dirty Ratio=20, Dirty Background Ratio=5, VFS Cache Pressure=100. If you change them to Dirty Ratio=95, Dirty Background Ratio=70, VFS Cache Pressure=1, it means that apps will keep cache handy longer (system resources used less frequently and smoother app use overall). Of course, you can experiment with those values, but this is dabbling with advanced kernel stuff so don't get too crazy.
V6 SuperCharger
I haven't gotten the opportunity to use the SuperCharger mod too much, but it looks to be beneficial in aiding how the internal memory structure works with OOM Groupings and lowmemkiller values. Some users report drastic increases in multitasking and battery life. It requires the Script Manager app, BusyBox 1.18.2 or lower, and the Autostart Script the mod's creator developed. The installation details are available on the thread.
I'll add more later, but this should get you started!
Sweet it might be easier to follow now I hope LOL.

I have a suggestion for all the noobs on the forum these days maybe post the kernels that work with aosp with some links in the op so you don't get that question over and over again.
Just a thought.
Edit: another thought that would be cool if you posted links and howtos on V6 and vipermod in op .
That might draw some noobies in to this ROM and save on some questions being asked.

BTW this ROM is amazing but I'm still having massive battery drain! Could it be an app? Im using Vipermod @ -75mA, V6 Supercharger, Tiamat 4.0.7 SBC and this newest nightly. It's like the most amazingly beautiful combo ever, yet it's owning me =(. Also did Fix Permissions in ROM Manager twice.
I'll try it...
---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------
Is this based on latest CM7 nightly #180 ?
so I can use metamorph themes?
Great AOSP ROM. Silky smooth even clocked down to 768 mhz and undervolted -100 mV.
Question: anybody else using GoLauncher? I'm having issues with GoWidgets (calender and message) loading after a reboot. No problems with any other widgets. I can uninstall and reinstall and they show up fine. I'm testing the 1.3.1 nightly. Tonight I'm going to try a stable release and see if I get the same thing.
Looking forward to getting more time with this puppy.
Very nice OP. Good Luck. By the way, Thanks for the links on your sig.

Have you checked spare parts? It sounds like there may be an app that is causing a wakelock, check to see if there is any partial wakelocks, sensor wakelocks, etc. There is also a number of battery monitor apps available in the market that will tell you what app is using all that power, so you can sniper it a bit more effectively. The only other thing I can think to recommend is a battery calibration, if you haven't done one in a while. It absolutely NEEDS to be done when coming from a Sense rom, but every once in a while I need to do it even though I'm an AOSP all-the-way guy. It just happens when you try new kernels. PM me with some photos showing the drain (after trying those methods, of course ) and I'll see if I can help you out.

It is not based on any CM7 nightly ... they customized AOSP from scratch. I can't tell you if metamorph themes will work, but if they are built for CM7, I would venture not. Just the T-Mobile Themer app.

I am an avid GO app user, and swear by Launcher EX. The widgets not showing up after a reboot does happen with me as well, but ONLY on a reboot after I clear dalvik cache and cache. The secret I've found to geting them back is that when they show up as that white box, remove them from the screen and reboot. Once rebooted, put them back on the screen and they show up fine. They will stay on reboots too, at least until you clear those caches again.
Btw, don't ask why it does this, I have no idea haha.

I've checked spare parts and the highest partial wakelock is Android Systen with 1m 57s and the highest sensor usage is Android System again with 46m 51s of total time. Nothing came close to those. Could you name to me one good app that monitors apps that drain battery? xD I'm using Battery Monitor Widget and System Panel Full. I've also calibrated the battery, no dice. I noticed on my Battery Monitor Widget that something is using 2mA while I'm charging with SBC. I know it's supposed to be using 0 mA -_-

It's theoretically SUPPOSED to do that, however it stays between 0 and 4mA (not a constantly 0 charge). The longer that you've had your battery, the more it does this.
One of the things that is rarely talked about with SBC is that it shortens the overall life of the battery. By gaining that 10% extra per charge on the frontend, it shortens the lifecycle of the battery significantly. Considering we replace our phone every year it rarely is a deal breaker, but the battery's ability to retain that superfull charge we all love about SBC lessens over time. Personally I believe it is totally worth it, but for people that hold onto their phone for more than a year, they sometimes need to get a new battery.
Out of curiosity, what kind of "massive battery drain" are you incurring? What kind of overall battery life / screen on time do you get, in hours?

ADW Launcher EX

This launcher is amazing! I cannot express how much of an improvement over the default honeycomb launcher it is. You get folders, animations and with the new release it is hardware accelerated in Android 3.0 or higher!
Also, it is only $0.10 today on the Android Market!
Loving it. It is incredibly fast. I'll try to post some screenshots/videos of my setup soon.
I just picked this up too. Great Launcher.

I'm currently using this launcher on my stock galaxy nexus. Is there a way to remove the settings soft key in the lower right corner?
It's a setting under input or keyboards or whatever you device calls it, then look for something like input method selector, then select Always Hide.
No luck finding that or any similar option. Any ideas?
No. That's what I see on my TPT. Don't use it on my phone. Installing it, be back soon.

Cyanogen: Respond to pen input only

Sorry if this has been answered. I couldn't find the answer anywhere...
There are some situations where I would like my tablet to respond to pen input only. A good example of this would be the feature in Quill, although obviously without the added hand gestures.
I would like this to be set globally. I thought it might already be in the settings panel, but I can not find it.
I am running a recent nightly build of Cyanogen 10.1, so stock features may not apply. Are there any rooted apps that could do this out there? Other solutions?

[APPS][NO ROOT] SmartisanOS Launcher, Clock, Calculator, and Notes!

Hey everyone, I'm back again with more ported apps.
This time it's from the all new Chinese ROM 'SmartisanOS' for the Galaxy S3. If you have a Galaxy S3, I'd recommend checking out the ROM itself rather than using these apps, as you'll get a better experience that way.
If you haven't heard of SmartisanOS, firstly you should know it's not an entirely new OS, it's more like a UI skin like Sense and Touchwiz. It's based off Android, but isn't a fork of it like AliyunOS or anything.The creators very heavily focused on user experience, in attempts to make the UI very attractive and easy to use. The UI is very, very skeuomorphic. All applications tested ran buttery smooth.
Note that this ROM is in pre-alpha (it was only just officially released to the public on the 15th) so it's got a few bugs, even on the phone it officially supports, the Galaxy S3. Additionally, not all applications have full English support, so certain parts of them will be in Chinese.
As always, if you'd like anything from the ROM to be uploaded, just ask and I'll see what I can do.
Here's a video review (in English) of SmartisanOS by Cursed4Eva TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRUZwJXlHA
Smartisan Launcher:
The launcher is very, very similar in concept to the iOS homescreen. It's just a grid of apps that you can move around, and essentially you're limited to just that. There's not hardly any customization here, but then again that can be a good thing if you think about it. Unfortunately, lack of customization takes a pretty big hit - for example, you can't change the wallpaper. For some very odd reason, this launcher requires a loading screen whenever it boots up, similar to other 3D launchers like Next Launcher and TSF Shell (but this launcher isn't 3D).
Features -
- Up to four icons on the dock
- Custom transition effects for opening apps and general inteface
- Batch app movement support
- Unlimited homescreens
- Hide homescreen support
- Lock homescreen support (crashes for me, however)
- Gorgeous UI
- Drag-to-uninstall support

Clock
This is a truly gorgeous clock app. Note that this, along with the other apps, don't give widgets. This clock is filled to the brim with fancy animations, sound effects, and special features, like a world clock, alarm, stopwatch, and timer.
Features -
- World clocks (system time set as default; you can add more but the clocks are only available in Chinese)
- Alarm clock
- Stopwatch (with lap support)
- Timer (up to 60 minutes)
- Fancy animations for all sections of the app. For example, whenever you switch tabs the clocks will reanimate into position.
- Fancy sound effects for most sections of the app. For example, turning on the timer will make a ticking sound. The ticking sound stops when you leave the application, though (and the timer still continues), so it won't be annoying or anything.
- Gorgeous UI

Notes
This is a pretty basic Notes app but just like all the other SmartisanOS apps is really nice looking, but unfortunately (for me, anyway, this might not happen on your phone) the app didn't fit the screen. This app also has integrated sharing support.

- Swipe to delete support
- Search support
- Sharing support via SMS, email, text, and Sina Weibo

Calculator
This is a very simple calculator without support, unfortunately, for more advanced calculations like the stock Android calculator. It's based off old basic calculators, and even has that click-and-clack sound to boot whenever you tap the buttons!
Features -
- Sound effects whenever you click the buttons for a more realistic effect
- Gorgeous UI

Hope you all like these. :good: I'll be on the lookout for updates to SmartisanOS and I'll update this thread accordingly for new apps and other goodies.

Nice one ))
Launcher wouldn't open on my Note2. Clocked worked well though. It is a great looking click with just enough animation. Unfortunately the snooze/dismiss screen is too simple for me. Both buttons right next each other. Could easily attempt to snooze and hit dismiss instead. Wish it was a gesture like sliding to dismiss. Oh well. Still pretty cool. Thanks, man

The launcher opened on my HTC one but the dock icons wouldn't open when touched. Also the regular apps didn't always open. Some would open when touched at specific parts. Bit erratic for now on my one.

You could try pushing the launcher to system/app.

Yes, I had this problem with the little gear icon when in the zoomed-out view with all the icons. I had to click the gear just under where it was located. I presume this is either because:
1. The ROM itself is still in pre-alpha so the problem is for any phone, not just ones it wasn't intended for (meaning, then, that the Galaxy S3 has the same problem)
2. Wrong resolution and screen size is confusing the app.
Either way there isn't a easy fix to it, for now anyway.

No, sorry, I'm not a developer. It may be because you're not running the latest version of Android, as SmartisanOS is based on 4.2.

THX, it's beautiful
I have a question. I want to use the smartisan os rom on my s3 but there is a problem. I can't call or use the mobile Internet because there's no network connection. You know what's the problem?

You should ask that on the Smartisan OS forums or if there's a thread for Smartisan OS for your device you could ask it there maybe. This thread isn't for help with bugs in the ROM, sorry.
Ok thanks man

Re-upload!
Link down bro, any chance to reupload it? Btw, has anyone tried this on Moto X?
link not found. please re upload

Why don't you download from the Smartisan web site: http://www.smartisan.com/apps/launcher ? The launcher works perfectly under Slim7 on bacon, for example.

Replace default task switcher

Hi,
Wondering if there any mods to replace or tweak the default task switcher in Android. Something like the HTC switcher (showing 9 cards at once) would be ideal.
So far I only have seen play store apps that only seem to supplement the default switcher not replace or tweak it.
Any about?
Try Switchr...

Thanks, i have seen that but it doesn't replace the default switcher and doesn't have a multi card view. I'm after something that can I see all / most recent apps with that's quicker than scrolling through a list that only shows a few at a time.
On the AICP ROM there's Omniswitch. It replaces it and you can also set favorite apps too. I love it

Can you take a screenshot of it? Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion, having a look now but the version I can find is giving me permissions issues when flashed. I'll have a play and see if I can get it working

It's great trust me. I only have a few things set cause its all I need

Did you flash the rom or just trying to install the apk from a different source on top of your current rom? That might be the issue

I found a flashable zip version, don't want to install the rom (yet anyway). It should be workable as it seems to be built with porting to different ROMs in mind etc.
I played with the HTC M8 yesterday in a store and I'd really like that card-based task switcher as well. The current stock Android switcher is pretty, but even at the time it was introduced it was clearly a step backwards functionality-wise, compared with the Gingerbread task switcher... The new HTC thing is pretty much what Google should've done.

I just find it really slow to use when you have to start scrolling through a large list
Just tried OmniSnitch, ok but not massively better than the stock one IMO just a bit smaller and easier to scroll.
Haven't tried it myself, but Gingerbread-style recents is listed as one of XuiMod's features.
