[Q] Cyanogenmod lag - Blade General

Yesterday, I installed Cyanogenmod on my Blade, but I don't like it very much, because in menus or in homescreens I get lag. I have CM 7.1 via ROM Manager installed.
On the internet, forums, I read that CM 7.1 is very smooth.On youtube is great, but on my phone is very laggy.I have no lag in applications, only in menus or homescreens.
There is a confiuration that makes CM work smooth ( without overclock )?

try launcher pro or any other launcher it might solve the problem
and please report hows the battery on cm7.1

i tried Launcher Pro.It reduces lag, but is still laggy.What can i say about battery is that is better than 2.3.5 OS.

hows it compared to stock 2.2
try reducing animations and not using a live wallpaper

CM 7.1 is the best ROM for games and applications so is muuuuch better than 2.2, but 2.2 looks more smoothly than CM (al least for me) .
About Live Wallpaper...i didn't use one.

Use the latest nightly build.
Then tap on settings > cyanogenmod settings >performance, make sure that 'use 16bit transparency' is selected.
You can overclock it too.

I'm afraid about overclocking, but i will try with "16 bit transparency" .Thank you!

It works great! Now, it feels realy smoothy. Thank you!

Overclocking is not something to be afraid of. Just overclock it in smaller steps, try one setting for a while and if everything is ok and you don't experience any random reboots or hangups, you can set it higher. Most blades are able to handle clock frequencies up to ~700. Mine is stable at 691, others at 710 where I start to get reboots when writing messages or browsing the net etc. When testing how much your blade can handle, just remember not to tick the "Set on boot". When you find a setting that is stable, then it's safe to set it at boot also.

GDX v21 new installation

Hi guy,
after a new installation of gdx v21 in my x8 without any problem, I need your help for minor but (imho ) important problems.
1. how can I disable camera and boot sounds?
2. after one day of intense use for obvious configuration, I think to have a good battery life. Could you suggest a good app to improve this feature? I installed advanced task manager but it didn' worked so well like with Froyopro v1.1
3. I'm seeing only widgets of gdx installation. I installed various app (es advanced task manager) but widget wasn't on list. How can I solve?
Thanks a lot for your patience.
Bye

Solutions:
1. To disable Camera sounds, go to settings, to Cyanogenmod settings, to sounds. To disable boot sound, open Root Explorer, go to system, to media, and you will see one music file there, delete it and you are done.
2. I think you should activate Screen off profile using SetCPU.
3. Don't move the apps you installed to SD card if you want to use widgets.

camera shooter disable in cyanogen settings
for better battery life use custom kernel like alfs
Batter life.
Disable Wi-fi,Bluetooth stuff like that.
Set a max and min frq for the CPU
Im like 650 and 122 and there is no problem.
Also App Killer.
Still i can use it for a day or two.
But i charge frequently also!
Thanks to all and particularly to lucastan96. I used all your suggestion and in a single day, I have surely a battery life better than Froyopro (now I'm sure): with more than one hour of calling and one hour of 3g browsing, I still have 55% of battery. And the phone is very very stable. Thanks again for your help.
Always glad to help, Mantaor!

Aurora ICS 4.03 port issues list.

Firstly, a big thanks to fellow kiwi developer "dzo" for this great port!
Official dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957
I'm unable to post in the dev section until I have 10 posts, so I thought I would start an issues thread here for people who also haven't made 10 posts yet.
***IF YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST ABOUT, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE KERNEL AND ROM DETAILS***
e.g. Official 2.3.5 B522 as base, Aurora ICS version 1.6, used 5.5.0.4 Recovery
CURRENT TESTING VERSION - 1.8
Issues:
-Sound from the speaker is scratchy and distorted, everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications.
-The volume from the speaker is too loud on the lowest volume setting.
-Product name/model needs to be changed from 'msm7630_surf' to 'Huawei u8800' in build.prop
-SD card sometimes doesn't mount (requires restart to mount)
-No panorama mode in camera. ---stock camera app
-Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes).
-Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions.
-Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode. ---stock camera app
Notes:
I used the B522 official Huawei 2.3.5 as base, and then loaded version 1.6 over top of that using Recovery 5.5.0.4.
Archived Issues:
-The lights on the backlit keys don't work all the time, even when it's dark. [It appears this is by design. Use auto-brightness for the keys to light automatically.]
-Mobile Networks --> Network Operators is unable to search for networks (both automatically and manually). It says "Error While Searching for Networks". [Seems to have been fixed with 1.8]
-UI is generally quite laggy across the whole system [Seems a lot better with 1.8]
-It probably needs a "file explorer app" installed as stock so you don't have to manually transfer one via USB. [ES File Explorer added in version 1.8]
-Red border appears momentarily on occasion (usually when a sound is playing - also happens when unlock pin code is being entered) [Hasn't happened with version 1.8]
-Playback of music tracks does not automatically go to next track after previous track is finished. ---beyond pod; stock music player [Fixed in version 1.8]
Version 1.6?
some people are complaining about slow Internet connection.. do you note that issue?

I've only just loaded ICS on during the last few hours, so haven't had time to thoroughly test internet/browser. Will do eventually though.
The Ookla Speedtest app seemed to have good speeds. Although the upload speed seemed a little "out". It was up around the 1.7-1.8Mbps mark, when I know my upload speed is capped at 1.0Mbps.
Also, the mini graphs that show the upload and download speeds underneath the main "meter" was showing a weird streaky white block instead of the usual line graph. I wonder if others could test this too and report back.
I can add "slow internet" to the OP issue list if you like?
Can you explain it a little more for clarity?
Cheers.
i cant use any camera app, but stock one works just fine
Ookla Speedtest app gives me 100kbit/s down on a 2mbit/s internet connection.
When I press at the wifi it shows link speed 6Mbps.
Edit: speed ok after changing router
Great idea, I too have some issues I'd like to report but I'm unable due to the 10 posts limitations. Hopefully someone w/ access will bring this link to dzo's attention.
So far, the ones I think weren't reported yet:
No panorama mode in camera;
Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes);
Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions;
Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode;
Some background noise everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications;
That seems to be it, will add more as I find them.

It hasn't yet appeared on SourceFroge yet, but will testing it as soon as it's up to see if any of these issues have been addressed.
Indeed, dzo is a legend!!
Also, he probably does sleep, it's just that he sleeps when most of the rest of the world is awake... being that he is from New Zealand. ;-)

Nope, unfortunately not for me yet.
SourceForge is being a bit buggy for some people at the moment (including me). Others on the main Aurora thread have said that 1.7 has appeared on SourceForge for them, but for others it hasn't yet.
Waiting... waiting.... ;-)
EDIT: It appeared for me momentarily on SourceForge, but when I went to click to download it said the file was unavailable to download. dzo has just uploaded it to Google Code, so downloading now.
Sourceforge was with a strange behavior, but now seems to be fine.
Try now, I'm sure now you can
1.8 is out.
I actually went back to stock B522 for the moment, as I just found the 1.7 UI too laggy, but I might load 1.8 on now.
OK, installed 1.8 yesterday and I don't know if it is the ROM, or if I did something different to install it, but it appears to be running a lot smoother UI wise.
Sound from the speaker is still terrible though. It sounds to me like it could be a sampling rate incompatibility.

It's really weird because sound is only distorted when played through that back-speaker.
Ringtones are awfull, full of cracks and distortion... and always with hiss background noise.
This is a common problem on all those .35 custom rom's
hey guys,
ive a question about porting, im using a u9000 variant, similar hardware and on the u9000 forum w have devs that successfully port u8800 roms.. my question is, since u8800 roms are portable, may i know what is required for u guys before flashing to aurora ics? ie what kernel were u on before the flash? thanks for the help!

Aurora needs to flash on 2.3.5 stock roms. Stock .35 kernel required.

i have 2.3.5 firmware with stock 2.6.35.7 kernel. however i think due to difference in device and the port, it may not be possible.
mine is u9000 with MSM8225 chipset 2.3.5 firmware n .6.35.7 kernel
aurora is built for u8800 with MSM7230 chipset, similar firmware and kernel
however u8860, the source that aurora used, is with MSM8255 chipset, not sure about firmware and kernel.
read somewhere that ports are device specific, so to get it working on u9000, id have to port from aurora, and fix whatever that doesnt work.. correct me if i am wrong.. dev/porters please advise!
thanks!

CM7 alpha 8 Review - Galaxy 3

Hey guys! this is my first post on XDA and i have been using kyriloos v9.5 since pretty much tym and i thought i should give a try to something new!! i was really excited about Tom3q's FIMG 3DSE for the Galaxy 3! so i put CM7 alpha 8!
Advantages:
> Customizable Interface!(a major asset!!)
>Smooth Interface
>Nice music widget
>cool looking UI
>Performance tweaks
>A better benchmark(compared to stock) without any additional apps and without updating tweks (comes to 1177)
>camera is fine
>bluetooth works
>cwm works like charm
>1 ghz and stable
>no automatic switching off yet
>apps got to sd
>have 168 mb free internal memory when installed on partition
>i like the msging interface
now these are the good things but believe me i was more happy with Kyrillos rom v9.5
disadvantages:
>no video recording
>can notice pixels at areas where i never saw before
>some kinda glitches with the google apps that worked fine earlier
>no improvement in graphics even with FIMG 3DSE
>Angry Birds space has even more white patches than it had before
>i had many more options in Kyrillos when i keep the power button pressed
>and will update more soon
Stock Antutu Benchmark : 938
Kyrillos Antutu Benchmark : 1135
CM7 Antutu Benchmark : 1137
my advice : dont install cm7 now! wait for all the bugs to get cleared!! im sure cm7 can do much better!!

press the buttons... submenus exists...
imo: it's an alpha version! It has MANY MANY mopre configuration since u have the "CyanogenMod Settings" and all the apps that support CM only(!) And basically with a few fixes (init.d script of kyrillos etc...) Cm7 is a BEAST compared to froyo!
Thank you for your response

i never said that cm7 does not have these!! my point is that it would be better to install it after the final version releases!! cm7 works much more better on phones like galaxy ace!! i would love to run an absolutely awesome final version of cm7 on my phone!! but until then im for kyrillos!! no offence!!!
Data network mode
i know that but it still misses the data network mode for which i need to go all over to the settings menu and do it!! i found it more comfortable in kyrillos!!
In CM7, you can get the data network mode in the notification bar itself or the power control widget. Go to CM Settings > Interface > Notification power widget > Widget buttons > Here you can choose whatever you want (Mobile data, in your case).
In fact this is better because you don't need to use your hard keys.
Thanks

[Q] HWA settings does not find my launcher

Hi,
I use NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7, and I installed EZ Launcher and QQ Launcher on it. This is a little bit laggy, so I tried to set HWA for the launchers but they are not listed in HWA settings manager.
Is there anything to do for fixing this ?
Thank you.

I am not familiar with that particular ROM, but I don't know that you can force HWA with just any launcher on that ROM, they all have different settings cooked in. Try another ROM or try another launcher.
I see you are using an AOSP type ICS ROM, I'd go with Nova launcher, for me it is the fastest and most stable.
I used to use Go Launcher Ex but it became very instable and slow. So I tried others, QQ Launcher is almost the same as Go and is more stable, so I use it now. I tried Nova too, but I didn't like it a lot. Anyway, thanks for your help, I'll try another rom.

No worries, look at the features/change log first and see what it says about HWA before you download too.
clear the data for hwa settings via apps in settings
