Optimize your Recents menu and ram... - Galaxy S 4 General

While going through the XDA News, I found an interesting article. It has some lines to add to the build.prop that removes the recents lag and also helps ram management. It was for the Note 4, and someone also said it worked on the S6. So I tried it on my S4 I9505 and it also worked Here is the link to the news article.
You Can Optimize Your Note 4’s Recents Menu & RAM
Make sure to read all the article and threads linked in the article before making any changes... you do this by your own choice remember. I nor XDA will be responsible for irresponsible editing or bootloops or your phone falling in love with and iPhone...
Like I said it works on my phone. I can't promise it will work on your phone but make sure to back up your build.prop before making any changes... enjoy

Minumum background apps 8 , maximum 70 . These settings need to be optimised for our phone considering it only has 2 gb ram and not 3 gb. Theres also settings for minimum free ram available i believe , that has to be scaled down as to permit the minimum background apps in ram , else it will contradict and kill them for free ram . Considering the cpus are different , kernel is different with different instructions , they might not even work on S4

This is a great Today app, but has annoying habit of moving down the screen by a bar - see attached pic. Anyone know solution or not have this problem?
I liked it too... for the first 5-10 minutes or so. Gave it my best shot, tried many settings and options, installed and re-installed it a few times, but it's buggier than an entomology museum and eventually screws itself and your device up.
yep, i agree, funny and eye candy interface but heavy and buggy... i did it a chance but uninstalled soon.
Anyway, i got the same bug... there should be an option in the first tab of TouchFlo settings panel for the plugin heignt, you have to reduce a bit from full and manually find tne correct height, i can't remember the exact number now, sorry
for me is this great app:

For me the best is WAD2, even if still in RC12 and a little buggy.
However I've 9 virtual pages, a dozen of docks (used practically as other pages), full of graphical candy, everything at 2 taps, quite all the functionality many previous programs had, and the best it's very easy to do the interface YOU want!
All this never going under 16-18 Mb free on a 64 Mb Universal using Tomal 7.7 ROM. The counterpart to having all this RAM is page switching isn't the fastest. But if I had 128 RAM (can't find anybody in Italy!) I could get off the "low-memory" management and have the speed in change of more RAM.

Tips & Tricks
Increase RAM using Swapper2 [ULTIMATE MOD] ☆☆☆
This mod is for those with Ram < 500. If your phone has greater ram, you don't require this. For all those who complain about lag, here's the ULTIMATE FIX for it. No more lagging, play HD games WITHOUT lag.
Follow this amazing guide and give your phone the ULTIMATE POWER.
Increase RAM using Swap File and Swap Partition
Download Link For MiniTool Partition Wizard : Download
Regarding the above guide:
- Maximum for 3rd Partition is 1024MB ie. 1GB. So in 1st Partition, choose maximum partition size leaving only 1024MB so you don't waste any space.
- If you are not interested in App2SD, don't create 2nd Partition
​Proper Installation Process ☆
Many of you face different bugs and issues due to improper installation. Follow the steps given on the ROM's thread.
​Remove Unwanted System Apps ☆☆
The more apps you have on your phone, less free RAM available. Get rid of those stock apps which you rarely or do not use.If you want to save the app, use something like AppManager, Titanium Backup to archive the apps you want to keep around to SD card. Or just redownload them when you need them. Go into Settings > Apps and figure out which apps you want on your phone and which ones you want to remove. For removing Stock Apps, use Root Explorer or any other file explorer, go into data/sys-parts/app and delete unwanted apps. Reboot your phone after making any changes.
Some useless Stock Apps:
CMWallpapers
SpareParts
VoiceDialer
Live Wallpapers : MagicSmokeWallpapers
LatinIME - If you use a different keyboard than stock.
CMFileManager - If you use a different file explorer
Stk
Term - If you don't need a Terminal Emulator
Trebuchet - If you're on a low end device, trebuchet is no good for you.
Video Editor
Replacement:
Google Keyboard
Swype
Solid Explorer
ES Explorer
Root Explorer
Nova Launcher
Apex Launcher
Use Static Wallpaper ☆☆☆
Live wallpapers use much more memory of your phone than a static wallpaper. Even a simple Live Wallpaper will take 2 MB or so of memory. Complicated ones may take up to 20MB. And the live wallpaper will run in background ALL THE TIME taking much of your phone's memory. Live wallpaper even consume your phone's battery. So use a static wallpaper instead.
Don't have any great static wallpaper to chose from? See This Amazing Collection Of Wallpapers​Occasionally Kill Apps Running In Background ☆☆
Everyone loves multitasking and switching from one app to another. But when you multitask, apps run in background and consume battery and take up major part of your memory. This can make your phone a little slow and laggy. Occasionally kill the apps running in background to free up some RAM.​Tweaking Performance Settings ☆☆☆
CPU Governor, Minimum CPU Frequency, Maximum CPU Frequency
To make your phone faster and smoother, tweaking above settings play an important role.
You can select "Allow Purging Of Assets" in Memory Management to allow freeing of more RAM when required.
Remember, Increasing CPU Frequency Can Effect Your Battery Life.​Tweaking With Developer Options ☆☆
For experiencing quickness as well as smoothness, change: 1. Window Animation Scale 2. Transition Animation Scale 3. Animator Duration Scale. By default they are set to "1x". Change it to "0.5x". This will make transitions and animations on your phone much faster and make you feel that your phone is super fast.
You can even select "Don't Keep Activities" to kill every activity running as soon as you close it.​Restrict Your Home Screens ☆
People tend to have more than 3 homescreens and place a lot of widgets. More widgets you have, more lag you experience on your homescreen. This may not be true for some devices like Galaxy S3, but it does effect low end devices. Try to remove unwanted widgets from your homescreen and have least no. of homescreen possible, preferably 3 or less. This did effect my phone and my phone became much smoother than ever. Try this and if you don't notice any difference, you can always change your homescreen. ​Tweaking Build.prop ☆☆☆
You can add tweaks to your build.prop to make CM10 more fluid and smoother. Following are the details about the tweak:

It took me a lot of time to compile this guide for you people. You can return the favor by pressing the "Thanks" Button. That Easy!
3rd Party Apps That Can
Make CyanogenMod Faster​
1. Fast Reboot
Quickly "reboot" your phone to free up memory! Simulates a reboot by closing/restarting all core and user processes and thus frees up memory. Your phone should be much snappier after using Fast Reboot. DOES NOT ACTUALLY REBOOT YOUR PHONE, only the apps & processes.
2. App Cache Cleaner
One Tap to clean all cached files for getting more avalable space. This tool can free a lot of storage memory for your phone. Free phone internal momeory, Get more internal rom storage. It is an app which is crucial to anyone who has memory management issues.
2. RAM Manager Pro
★Balance - Option which makes your RAM to the best optimization, this option is for everyday using. Use this option when you want to have fast phone without lags.
★Balance (More free memory) - This option is nearly the same as Balance, but this option should be advantageous for users who have more RAM than 512 MB. This option gives you more free memory but a bit reduces multitasking.
★Balance (More multitasking) - This option is nearly the same as Balance, but this option should be advantageous for users who have less RAM than 512 MB. This option gives you more multitasking, but a bit reduces free memory.
★Hard gaming - Option which stabilizes your RAM for playing hardest games. Use this option for games which lag on your phone. Your games will run smooth without lags.
★Hard gaming (Less aggressive) - This option is similar to Hard gaming but should be better for devices with RAM lesser than 512MB.
★Hard multitasking - Option for users which are really hard working on their phones. You can have a lot of running apps and quickly switch between them without lags.

Battery Saving Tips​
Many users feel that the battery life on their ROM is not very good. First of all never judge a ROM's battery life on the very first day you flash it. Following are some Tips for increasing your battery life - a little maybe.
1. Adjust Your Battery
As stated above, don't judge a ROM's battery life on the very first day you flash it. Adjust your battery! Let your battery drain to 5% and then charge it till 100%. Repeat this 3-4 times and your battery should get adjusted.
2. Don't Use Any Task Killer
There are many threads on XDA stating why you shouldn't use a task killer. Go find them and read them.
Many people think that "Task Killers" actually increase their battery life and free up some RAM. This is not true. Here is why:
Android Forums said:
* Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when more memory is needed.
* Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when it’s done doing what it needs to do.
* Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when you haven’t returned to it in a long time.
* Most services (while possibly running in the background) use very little memory when not actively doing something.
* A content provider is only doing something when there is a notification for it to give. Otherwise it uses very little memory.
* Killing a process when it isn’t ready only causes it to have to reload itself and start from scratch when it’s needed again.
* Because a task is likely running in the background for a reason, killing it will only cause it to re-spawn as soon as the activity that was using it looks for it again. And it will just have to start over again.
* Killing certain processes can have undesirable side effects. Not receiving text messages, alarms not going off, and force closes just to name a few.
* The only true way to prevent something from running at all on your phone would be to uninstall the .apk.
* Most applications will exit themselves if you get out of it by hitting “back” until it closes rather than hitting the “home” button. But even with hitting home, Android will eventually kill it once it’s been in the background for a while.

3. Use WatchDog Instead Of A Task Killer
WatchDog is a Task Killer but a little different. Watchdog monitors your apps and alerts when one loses control, allowing you to kill just that single app. You don't need a task killer but a way to make sure a background app doesn't lose control and eat up all your CPU.
PlayStore Link
4. Other Tips
- Use Wifi as much as possible
- Turn off Bluetooth if not in use
- Turn off GPS if you don't need it. Google Now checks your GPS frequently
- Turn off NFC if you don't use it
- Turn off Google photos sync in Gallery if you don't use it
- Uncheck any services you don't need synced for your Google account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > select your Google account).
- Uncheck Dial pad touch tones, Touch sounds, Screen lock sound, Vibrate on touch
- Adjust individual app refresh data intervals to the max that is acceptable for you
- Underclocking (If your kernel supports)
- AOKP Powersaver feature
- Solid black wallpaper (The more black in your wallpaper, the better)
- Inverted Gapps - The more the black is used the better
Hey, what the difference between ICS and JB? Cant you list it all? And when it comes to stock cm9 and cm10 which is smoother? CM9 is lag for me.

Here you'll be able to see some main differences between ICS and Jellybean.
As for which one is better between CM9 & CM10, you'll have to try them both. For me CM10 is much smoother and faster even when its in Alpha. Go ahead , try them and see which one works for you !
Thanks for the informative post.
IMHO Dsp manager is definitely not useless. If I don't enable bass boost on it then I really can't hear any bass. Btw not problem with headphones. What I mean to say is without dsp manager and bass boost you will not get any bass :banghead:

CM10 Usability enhancement tweaks

First of all many thanks to all those people who have made it possible to run CM10 on our mobiles - Kabaldan most importantly for developing CM10 and skrilax for the nightly builds. Also all developers like zepellinrox, fufu for the various applications, scripts and tweaks.
Since other users asked for a list of tweaks/modifications etc. I prepared this post.
The things I am proposing below are working for me, they might not work or be suitable to you and the way you use your device. I am just sharing my experiences.
Before installation:
- Fast micro sdhc card (4K random writes at 2 MB/s)
- 1 Ext 3 partition of 950 MB
- 1 Swap Partition of 950 MB
- Fufu open recovery minimod v.0.23
- Wipe all
After installation
- Install miui cam app from the link below. The first time camera is run, it asks for default application just choose the miui
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1687161&d=1359486822
- Install Quickpic. The first time gallery is run, it asks for default application, just choose quickpic.
- If there is a trouble with alarms of the default clock application (app freezing after choosing alarms) just erase cache of the app.
- Install FTL Launcher Lite (free mode is ok – no need for the paid one).
- Activate swap. I am using 98swapon script by fufu and I activate the whole of the available swap on my card. With the settings I use after a couple of days it usually stays below 100 MB. If you want experiment with fixed 64 MB, 80 MB or 128 MB.
- Install script manager from market
- Download the latest zeppelinrox script and the supercharger starter kit
From the starter kit install only sqlite3+zipalign_installer_v6.sh
Run the supercharger script and install it and activate what you want (I have activated everything and use 512 MB multitasking settings)
After that you will achieve 50% activation of the script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
- Download Ultimate Jar Power Tools windows version. In order to install it you need to activate usb debugging and run the application as administrator from the pc. I think you also need Motorola drivers so that the phone is recognized by the pc. I activate everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914159
- I install autostarts, this is a program with which you can disable startup items. It is a paid app, I have not searched if there is a free alternative. I disable almost all non-system apps that I do not want running after boot and some system ones with great care like maps.
- I disable hardware acceleration for most apps I usually run. I have found this makes things a bit faster. This is because we are running with a CM9 graphics driver (maybe this is not the only reason, please correct me).
- After installing about 50 apps I have some trouble with play store. The app downloads but never installs. I have to exit play store, open a couple of apps that need much memory (e.g. navigation software, browsers etc.). After that I fire up play store again and the app starts installing. Also it has happened with some big apps in size (above 20 MB) that it says no free space is available. After clearing the cache of apps like web browsers, skype, navigation software, etc. the installation is possible.
- In order to make vibration stick even after reboot, it must be activated in profile settings. If the choice is made through the drawer it is lost after a reboot.
Most probably I have forgotten something; I will add it later on…
950MB for swap? Really? Too big.
Improve speed by setting all (3; windows, scale and speed) animations to disabled in Dev Options.
Uninstall Gallery and Trebuchet when you have installed an other app (QuickPic, FLT or Lightning Launcher) same for the Cam App.
I will keep this reply updated with all infos I can remember.
Never intended to use 950 MB swap with milestone and whenever I have seen the swap going over 150 MB in usage the phone is at the edge of usability. There are scripts and apps with which you can set a specific part of the swap partition for swap so you can actually set whatever you want from the 950 MB.
When going from one mobile to the next I usually don't format the card, since mp3s and so on will remain there. I formatted the card assuming that I would use it with my future phone as well and anyhow 32 GB are more than I currently use (about 15 GB). My last memory card of 8 GB came from my previous phone.
I was doing tests to see when the phone started to lag and this is why I had let it unlimited to the full 950 MB. It was about the time I installed zepellinrox script with ultimate jar tools. One side effect was that swap grew very slowly in comparison with before. I noticed that even after 3-4 days rarely it exceeded about 100 MB. Fufu also said that he would include in his script the option to set a specific size of the swap in the next version. So I kinda let it there.
Thanks _crAss_ for the usefull post and the work you put into it to help others. Whenever I have the time I will take the plunge into CM10 to see how it goes. As soon as I get it to my liking and if I enconter any problems/issues I will report it here so others might read as well.
Thanks again. :good:
I think one the most important of all this tricks is the fast SD Card. But I'm unable to find a good one. Mine is a SDC10/8GB from Kingston, but is not really fast at 4K writes. Do someone know good models? I want to buy a new one if it complies the necessary speed.
There is a post at another forum with lots of benchmarks. I give the link below. The problem is that different production dates give different results. I got the transcend Ultra 32 Gb, the results are not the same as the ones reported in that post, but are comparable and fortunately the 4K random writes is good. My old card was a Toshiba class 6 bought years ago, presenting class 10 speeds in sequential read/write. Unfortunately 4K writes were down to 0.016 KB/s making it unusable for swap (I used to use the internal memory for swap then).

Also yesterday I installed viber and experienced huge battery drain, about 10-10% per hour. Even though I disabled everything through autostarts it kept popping up in running apps list and I guess it constantly tried to connect to no avail (since I activate wifi or 3G only when I want to log on to the internet). The new battery I have with moderate use goes up to 2 days, so imagine my shock of going down to almost in a couple of hours with screen off during the night...
I´ve installed CM10 on my phone and I´m in the process of configuring all the apps I need on it. I will just give my first impressions of the pros ands cons.
Pros:
- CM10 seems smoother than 9 (when everything works correctly), but this might be due to cpu overclock settings (I´ll explain later);
- Still did not experiment with other cm10 exclusive functions like Google Now for example, but if they work that is a plus for me;
- Contacts Import/Export from SDCard option available from the Phone app;
- SMS sending on Enter issue with CM9 seems not hapening on 10 (I remember using it before and it did not happen on 10). Still need to further check on that.
Cons:
- Power button options do not include a screenshot option (as CM9 did);
- Notification bar when pulled hides the icons on top (I do believe on cm9 they remained there), and the user can´t see, in real time, the changes made;
- Network icon stays blank when conection is very,very low/no conection is possible (happens a lot with ****ty Vodafone at may house), to the point that I do not know if I do not have any conection at all (on CM9 when the network was inexistent a "x" appeard instead of the network strengh bars);
- Camera app does not have the option (nor the media/camera sounds renaming option helps) to disable shutter and focus sounds (it could be useful for people who wanted to use the stock camera for photos and panorama and another camera for video). I´m using UCam at the moment and the option is there. Did not try MUIU camera nor Zoom Camera as other options yet as mencioned somewhere, but I believe at least MUIU camera does not have panorama option (a feature I love to use and used alot on CM9);
- Overclock feature does not stick even after a screen on/off situation. It always reverts back to maximum 1000MHZ cpu clock (what I talked above-maybe the smootheness I feel is due to the cpu clock this high?). Most probably. My battery came to 20% from 100% in less than 6 hours with the cpu clocked like that.
On CM9 I used to use 600MHZ for comon tasks and 800MHZ for heavier tasks/heavy games (along with Swap enabled) and it did the trick perfectly. More than 800MHZ the cpu just gets to hot and the battery drain is too high in my opinion. Using the overclock script mod (when you need to change/scale everything to the clock you need) simply does not cut it for the use I´m after (quick change between options). Will try and see if old Milestone Overclock does the job on CM10.
From the top of my head these seem to be the things that popped out at first glance (and some really anoying - like the cpu thing). Will test it further and report back :good:
P.S: Is it possible to disable the CRT screen off style? I do prefer a simpler "old" school screen off style.
First of all which governor have you set? With it set to inteactive most of the time it settles at 250 MHz when doing nothing. I get (with a new battery) very long standby times. Even when fooling around with the phone a lot I can get easily a full day.
The screenshot in the power button menu can be activated in settings (System-Power menu).
If I remember correctly the animations can be turned off in Developer options.

Thanks for the reply. The governor setting is set to interactive, but still when I do use the phone it ramps up to 1000MHZ which, at least in my phone,the battery has got to years plus, it shortens battery life a lot, and I do believe the cpu gets to hot for my liking really. I installed Set CPU, the problem with it is that sometimes when rebooting the stock governor settings stick and override the Setcpu one´s. Other times it does not happen, and Setcpu one´s prevaile...
Relating the screenshot option, I found the menu I needed thanks to your input:good:. Still I can´t find any option for the CRT animation under development options or any other option really. Maybe it is not present on CM10? Other things I notice on CM10 is that sometimes when turning the phone on (booting) it does not always lock on my network provider, even filling in the pin number. Sometimes I go and notice the network is not activated at all and have to put the phone to fligh mode and back again for it to lock in. Other than that I´m installing all my apps and will see how it goes. For now it is snappy enough

More than 800MHZ the cpu just gets to hot and the battery drain is too high in my opinion. Using the overclock script mod (when you need to change/scale everything to the clock you need) simply does not cut it for the use I´m after (quick change between options). Will try and see if old Milestone Overclock does the job on CM10.
From the top of my head these seem to be the things that popped out at first glance (and some really anoying - like the cpu thing). Will test it further and report back :good:
P.S: Is it possible to disable the CRT screen off style? I do prefer a simpler "old" school screen off style.

Dear Ricfil,
I also agree with most of your findings.Are you using the stock launcher 'Trebuchet'?If you install 'Lightening Launcher' and delete Trbuchet CM10 will become more smooth.More over Lightening Launcher is lighter than than Trebuchet and FTL Launcher also.
Regarding UCam,it's present update is much worse than the previous making it user unfriendly and it's camera mode unusable.So I uninstalled it and tried with MIUI Camera.Although it is much light with 463 KB it is spartan and lacks major options like video flash.video zoom ,panorama camera etc.So I installed Zoom Camera now and found it is the most smoothest than the stck,MIUI&UCam having a low weight of 550 KB,with all functions like,Video Zoom,Video Flash,Shutter Sounds,Panorama, abundant options of focusing&colour filters etc.It's also is the most user friendly and it is having frequent updates also.
Coming to Battery Drain,if you install an apk from Playstore namely 'Greenify',it will considerably reduce the battery drain by hibernating unwanted applications running in the background all the time.It will allow the apk to run only when it is needed.
About CRT I don't know much much about it.So will you please through some light on it so we can understand in detail?
Thanking you...

This was changed in CM10. When you have no signal, the icon is a unfilled triangle with a thin border. But if there is signal, but it is too low, you see the dark grey bars.

:good: Thanks for the info man.
Relating Lightning Launcher, I´ve tried it before but the learning curve for it is to much for me right now. I need something easy ti use and fast. This Launcher is so amazing in the way it has got so much it can do that it tends to be to overwhelming, for me at least. I´m using the good "old" Launcher Pro on CM10 and for now it is doing the job pretty well in my opinion. Fast, stable, with all I need.
Another subject I notice is when titanium restoring apps some of them restore to the sdcard (not internal memory-ext partition). if I try to move them to the ext partition(internal memory) with the built in app configuration of CM10 an error appeares relating low memory on internal memory-when there is plenty of memory in there-on the ext partition. A workaround I found was using Titanium himself to move the apps to internal memory. It does the trick for me
Relating the camera aspect, I´m fortunate enough to have an old UCam version (agree with you, last one is not indeed user friendly-I much prefer the version I´m using). Will have to check Zoom Camera to see how it goes for me. By the way, did you unistall stock Camera and Galery? If so, did you do it the normal (aplication configuration) way?
Will definetly check the Greenify app also. But still the 1000MHZ clock is there, which is too much in my opinion at least. I´ve already created 2 10 overclock files with one of them with max cpu clock at 800MHZ (for heavy stuff-like games and such) and one with 600MHZ (for common tasks). They work great, the problem is that the script only sticks at boot, If I could find a way to make it stick when the system is on that would be awesome (to swap between them on the fly ). It probably isn´t possible-at leats for now.
The CRT aspect I mencion is the effect you see when pressing the power/on/off button to turn the screen off (that quick white line effect you see, like it happened with "old" CRT TVs (don´t know if your familiar with them, those big boxes of the 70s/80s/90S
Do you have a way to turn that effect off? On CM9 there was an option for it. On 10 I can´t seem to find it.
Will continue configuring the phone and will be posting back:good:
Thanks again.

Network Icon:
Yhea, I did get that. I guess I prefered the x icon when no network was available, because I do not know if when the signal is to low any bar appear (and if so, that might confuse me between very low signal and no signal at all). When the signal is good the bars are clearer?! I do believe this change is way more confusing than using the CM9 method, but... opinions

Thanks Ricfil for the reply.
regarding stock gallery apk,I uninstalled it using TitaniumBackup with deletion of Backup and wiping of Data.
Coming to setting of CPU,have you used the facility in Settings/Performance/Processor/Maximum CPU frequency to set maximum to 800?
Regarding installation apks,I use the following method.After installation using Playstore or side loading the apks which show in the internal memory are moved to SD Card using Titanium Backup.AT first Titanium will ask whether Ext partition has to be activated.I opted yes.Thereafter Titanium will move all the apks to sd .In it there is also option to move the apks to internal memory.
And thanks for the information for CRT.Iam familier with it with my CRT TV.But I am sorry to offer a remark since I didn't give a particular noticce for it.

Ok. If I understood correctly, you unistalled the galery.apk of the phone using titanium, and after also deleted the galery backup on Titanium?... Did not quite get it May I simply unistall the camera and gallery whithout the phone go bootloop or something like that (my main issue, since no backup was made yet)?
Regarding Titanium apps installation, mine did not ask where I wanted the apps to be installed, they simply install and the stock app2ext script installs the apps onto the ext partition (when it works-since some apps do not install using the stock functions on my phone). That is why I mencioned I´m using titanium to "force install" apps to internal memory (ext partition). I´ve managed to install them all, will see if they are not broken or something like that.
On a side note. I´m pretty shure when I first installed CM10 (5 months ago) it had the option on keyboard settings to choose to disable the enter key to send sms messages (hardware keyboard). That was one of the things that made me switch to it again, since CM9 does not have this option. But lately I´ve been looking for that option and it is no longer there. At least I can´t find it...arghhh I HATE the lack of that feature. Pisses me off! LOL. Maybe kabaldan took the option out? Hope not...
Also today, a feature I was having pretty comonly the first time I installed CM10 happened again. The "Telephony problem-phone needs to reboot" dreadfull window appeard again, no network resulted from there and a reboot was the only way out of it. Some bugs I guess... that is why CM10 is still in Alpha stage I believe...
See you.
P.S: I´ve just read a private message from a fellow forum member named Sunxperous who was kind enough to help me out regarding the CRT style effect option. Better than using my on words, I believe he might not mind if I put here what he explained about the options to enable and disable that setting. It went like this:
Hello
I do not have the number of posts required to post in the development forums, so here is a private message with regards to the screen-off CRT animation.
I believe the option you are looking for is found under Settings > Developer Options, "Window animation scale". A scale of 1x renders the CRT effect, a scale of 0.5x and off disables the CRT effect.
I read elsewhere on the forum that turning the animation scales off or setting them at 0.5x makes the phone feel snappier. I liked the CRT animation, hence I kept "Window animation scale" at 1x.
I hope this helps, and if it does, do enlighten fellow Milestone users in the thread about it.

Regarding uninstallation of gallery.apk,I uninstalled it using Titanium with deletion of Backup.You can uninstall without deleting Backup.If Backup is deleted you can't restore the apk with Titanium.
Titanium will ask only in the first time after flashing the ROM with a full wipe and reinstalling Titanium as to whether ext sd card is to be configured for installing the apks.If we agree to it then it will install the apks to ext sd card automatically all the time afterwards without repeating the same question.
In relation to keyboard settings for "enter key' I also do not see any options in Settings/language input.
But I experience a problem with MMS.?The phone does not send MMS eventhough I completed the APN set up for the MMS as per the default settings specifications provided by my Carrier provider.When I press the SEND button the MMS shows 'Sending'.But it never sends.What should be the problem and what is the remedy?
Thanking you once more....

Titanium did not ask that on first time for me. I´m pretty shure it didn´t. Nevertheless, I found the way mencioned before to install all the misisng apps to internal/ext partition.
Relating the mms issue, I havent tried to send an mms yet. Will let you know how it goes when I do. If you did enable "activated data" option on definitons>wireless & networks>more>mobile networks, have network data enabled on the carrier side and it still does not send it, it is probably another CM10 bug I guess. I´ve read about people also having problems with tethering and the likes... Things meant to happen in "a work in progress" I guess...
Regarding Grennify, I´ve already configured all the apps possible to be hibernated on the app, but still, system apps like Maps, Google Play and others (which are always turning on on background memory) cannot be "grennified", with a warning that those system apps can´t be "touched"... It would be cool if this app would actually let users grennify all available apps...
Just remembered, things I don´t like on the notification area on CM10: The fact that the drop down isn´t semi-transparant like on CM9 and date is above the icons with big letters (personal opinion, but I prefered the smaller below the icons date letters on CM9). Small issues I believe .
Things I do like on CM10 notification area:
Available info regarding calls received, sms received and the option to directly send an sms back/call someone on the fly. I also like the fact that the user is able to quick delete all running background apps on multitasking menu by simply clicking one button. Good thinking! :good:
Thanks for the heads up.

Maps and Google Search can be greenified by converting it user apk using Titanium or by uninstalling them and reinstalling from Playstore.I didn't try to greenify Playstore as it may become harmful sometimes considering the unpredictable nature of it.But I think it won't run in background all the time if we get out of it after it's use by long pressing the back button if this button has assigned 'kill apk function'.
And waiting for your report on MMS after your test in convenience,
with thanks....

Ok man. Thanks. I´ve used Titanium to convert Maps and Google Search to user apps and it works wonders Play Store does not work, whenever you go to update an app, Play Store crashes and never launches again, with an error. It must be a system app I believe - when coverted back all went ok. On the first launch Greenify seemed to ocuppy lots of ram on my phone, making it sluggish, but after a reboot all started to go well It seems a pretty nice app indeed.
Relating the mms option, I do not use it a lot, but when I get my operator monthly feed on the phone again (low on cash at the moment ) will try to send one an see how it goes. Will report back here.
Take care man.

[GUIDE] How to run games smooth that lag on your Device

Ever wonder why your phone can't run a game smoothly as another device which has lower performance specifications? I sometimes ask myself this with 1.2ghz quad core cpu and powervr sgx544 gpu along with 1GB ram runs Asphalt 8 laggy at high or even medium settings? While a 480x800 HVGA phone runs it with better performance? See thats the problem right there a resolution of 720x1280 GPU will run slower than a 480x800 Same GPU. Why am I doing this well I got tired of hearing games not optimized for my gpu and seeing that lower end phones running games I cant run.
So i decided to do some research of my GPU and have understand that it's a capable GPU and then i thought to myself what if i can change game resolution for more performance similar to a PC or i tried HVGA games on my WVGA and it was faster. That was the moment i can run asphalt 8 on high settings now thanks to changing resolution. I have seen a lot of apps and saw where someone tried it and stuck at bootloop well this App is safe to use, although i can't guarantee that!
READ CAREFULLY!
Root Devices Required for this to work!
Requires root on Android 4.3 and higher.( i got 4.2 and it worked)
Google Play
NOMone Resolution Changer
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer ( i need 10 post total to insert links)
This app you can see your current settings to the top - Width x Height - DPI (Mines 720x1280 320dpi)
You can revert back to that default settings if you messed up or you can try a custom settings and if you can't see navigation bars or or even the virtual keys JUST PANIC OMG I'm just kding do nothing and it automatically reverts back in 10 seconds.
You can also choose a preset, there are from QVGA to WVGA resolutions.
Simply set a custom or preset settings and see it instantly activated no reboot required you don't have to go into build.prop file either.
1.) If app says superuser denied..go find superuser or SU# if u have it installed as an app and allow it manually.
2.) Changing resolution problems can happen if you lower your height resolutions your soft touch keys might not work, ENABLE virtual keys in app settings and tick the bars your going to need eg back, menu, task etc.
3.) If you happened to set a resolution and you select SKIP revert and your phone locks and half of the lock screen is cut off which means you cannot slide to unlock try sliding screen to right side my camera opens up and my phone is unlock again. I don't know about other devices so i ''HIGHLY RECOMMEND'' do not leave phone unattended for lock screen to activate. IF YOU DO SO restarting phone won't help you will be stuck.
You can try Different resolutions take a look here copy paste into address bar...pacoup.com/2011/06/12/list-of-true-169-resolutions/
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 600x1280
Asphalt 8 Significance performance increased.
Nova 3 Runs smoother than before.
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 320x480(dont look that bad its like 800x600 on 16:9 wide screen)
I can noticed fps is around 50-60 in Asphalt 8
This should work for all phones in the requirement field. It's like changing PC game resolution which increases fps according to the bottleneck.
Note : This is just a guide I'm not the owner of this app
and i don't take any responsibility if something happens to your phone.
hahaha
Well it worked for me lmfao :laugh::laugh:
I wonder if this is safe, can anyone post more feedback?
if it works 100%, thank you very much for sharing

yea it's safe because if anything goes wrong it automatically switches back your're resolution after 10 seconds. Just ensure that you're Root on Android 4.3 and higher(i have 4.2 and it worked) GL

Performance and Battery tips

Guys i am going to give you all my little knowing tips for performance which will help you to use your phone like you want.
we know in the phone there is two apps running system one is single tasking and another is multi tasking
Single tasking:- where you can use one app in one time but in android can be use 2apps also in single tasking, i have only 289mb Ram but i.love single tasking cause its so smooth no laggy so i changed my dalvik.vm.heapsize=64mb to 128mb its so smooth no laggy you can use high RAM using apps no force close... for example i have sgy s5360 i want to play 8pool game but new updated 8pool game force close after 8pool logo but i changed my dalvik.vm.heapsize=128mb its working like butter
multi tasking:- where you can use more apps in one time if you love multitasking then you can manage your RAM how much mb you want to devide per apps i mean if you have total 289mb RAM then minimum 32mb is good for multi tasking make your dalvik.vm.heapsize=32mb its good for multitasking you can use your more apps in one time but sometimes its laggy and can't use high RAM using apps..too much force close
procedure: your phone should be rooted,use any root explorer,mount rw and edit build.prop you can find it in system folder now find code (dalvik.vm.heapsize=64mb) and change it which you want only change 64 to any size comparing your RAM size and save it,reboot yoyr phone done
battery tricks :- use cpu manager and change governer...my best cpu setting is (max. freq. =max available min. freq=312 onedemand+noop)
note: do a cwm backup 1st i am not responsible for any softbrick,bootloop but i am sure it will work try it once
