is anybody getting massive lag when you unlock the phone? - OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers

Is anybody getting massive lag when you unlock the phone
Just going from the lock screen to any part of the phone and it's laggy, really laggy maybe a solid 2 second delay between actions. Reboot helps trying to lessen how much ram is being used helps for some reason turning on and off certain settings works, uninstalling an app fixes it but none of these are permanent. I'm not sure if it's the kernel I'm using or not either (Blu spark OOS)
Edit: well i updated Blu spark to the latest version and I haven't been having the issue in the last couple of hours since updating.

It seems updating the kernel has fixed the problem I was having, could you share your fix in case I happen to have this problem again?

I am having serious lag but it's when I press the power button to make the screen come on. What I have been doing is swiping up and the nav bar comes up with screen black and I press the recent apps button and it finally comes up. It's not everytime but it's a lot more than I would like. I have stock kernel. This phone shouldn't be having this issue with 12gb of ram. But I deal with it.

I'm facing some issues with unlocking my device as well, sometimes needs to reboot for it to work properly. Then again, I'm on Bluspark kernel which could have something to do with it?...

Turns out I took a stock kernel backup through EKM before flashing bluspark I'll let you know if I still experience the lag or not

Performance seems exactly the same to me post unlock. The only modifications I've applied are Magisk and a few modules, other than that I've got 100% stock kernel, /system, etc... So far

[Q] Android 4.4.3/4.4.4 bug - Backing out of apps, opens recent application

When I flashed stock 4.4.3 update (kernel, radio and firmware) I thought maybe I've installed a bad ROM.
Every time I backed out of certain applications, the last application in the recent apps list (the one before the one I just backed out from) opened for a second and closed it self.
For example, I played Boom beach, sent it to background using HOME.
Then, I used App Stats, played around in some screens and then backed out of it -> Boom beach opened for a second and closed itself.
Then I installed the 4.4.4 update, and this still occurs...
This doesn't happen with every application... I can back out of most apps without any issue.
This never happened on 4.4.2 and lower.
It may be an app issue and not the system so I'd love a feedback from you guys before I contact the apps developers.
Am I the only one who experience this issue?

Wiped my data couple of times and reflashed different Roms. Most of them had this issue.
You suggest a factory reset through settings will do the trick?

I factory resetted in TWRP then Fastboot erased leaving no trace behind, and then fastboot flashed 4.4.3. It's stock.
It's probably not well known because people may be using their device differently, pressing Home to exit an app instead of using Back maybe... or they don't think much of it to report it, I know I didn't, but it does get annoying after a while.

OTA or custom ROM?
Strange, I just tried to reproduce this bug on my phone with 4.4.3 and I don't have that bug. But, I have franco's kernel, maybe that makes some difference.

Well, I don't have this bug. I just opened CSR Racing, pressed Home to minimize it, then I opened eBay application, then I pressed Back, and it went normally to home screen, CSR Racing did not appear.
EDIT: I managed to reproduce it. CSR Racing appeared for a second when I exited from Settings. I never noticed this until I read this topic. So, bug exists.

I'm sorry to ruin your LOLness but it may be a kernel/ROM related issue. I already found a 4.4.3 ROM (LiquidSmooth 3.0, didn't check 3.1) where this bug doesn't occur.
Moreover, the kernel is responsible for cleaning up the memory by killing and restarting applications.
I created a small application that behaves like a taskiller (restartPackage/killBackgroundProcesses) and kills every app I exit, just for testing purposes and it didn't work as expected on 4.4.3/4.4.4 so I think it's probably a kernel issue (4.4.3 received an updated kernel which is used on 4.4.4 as well).
It can still be a systemUI issue but even if it is, that can be fixed on AOSP ROMs, without waiting for Google.
If you have a link to the reported bug ("known bug"?) that would be great.
Edit. Bug persists with CM11

Weird battery usage and battery problems - android 6 Marshmallow

Hello,
I have installed the android 6 to my p8 lite dual sim phone. C432b574 - I got the OTA update recently but it didn't update, and others told me to update manually, so I did.
I updated from b170.
The problem is the battery started heating up like never before with normal usage. Besides that when I checked the consumption levels it showed that hardware used 95-99% and softwares used the remaining. It is unnatural because I use the phone like I used to use with lollipop. I had been using it for 2 weeks now.
I tried wiping cache partition, updated all of the apps and someone told me the google services may screw up with the new system so I deleted those too, the problem still on.
Should I take it to the repair shop for a battery exchange? Maybe mine is faulty?
Regards, Ghostmuffin - thanks in advancew
I've also had those problems, the high hardware consumption is probably a first time error. For me, the one's causing havoc are the Google Play Services, actually you didn't remove anything, you can't remove them without basically turning your phone useless. Time to consider a deodexed ROM and using amplify (requires Xposed)

I could remove the updates.
And you installed deodexed update or how did you manage to solve it then?
I'll wait for other replies before rooting the phone.
I have never rooted a phone before, one thing is not clear for me, can I install a custom android 6 while it is currently on the phone or should I downgrade it first? The other question is, does it wipe my data?

Well I worry because with the heating up the battery life is reduced. And I wonder if it can be solved because in general the marshmallow is much better than lollipop

Well my device also heats up when playing heavy games like gta san andreas, modern strike,asphalt 8 etc.... I think this is due to octa core processor. Which generates more heat as compare to quad core. I haven't used any octa core devices other than this so might be wrong.

Removing updates fixes nothing, as it seems to be a problem with Marshmallow itself, and yes, I downloaded a custom ROM, it's not a very advanced procedure but you should be careful. You should install it over the current ones, making wipes with a custom recovery, and yes, it will wipe your data, however you can back it up from recovery.

From my own experience, it seems like it's a wakelock problem. And using Xposed on a stock Rom broke calls, so that's why I was suggesting it

Yes, but they're much more customizable, as I said, if it's a wakelock problem, Amplify will solve it. I recommend Sokoban's ROMS and Nautilus

[H918] Random Reboots on Custom Roms

So, I had a day 1 v20 that began randomly rebooting back in december. Thought it was a hardware issue and finally got around to replacing it the other day. Now, after getting the replacement v20 set up on a custom rom (AICP) I'm seeing random reboots again. I've tried every single custom rom available for the h918 and they all experience reboots. When i've asked about the issue in the threads it seems as if I'm the only one. It appears to be a custom-rom only problem that apparently no one else is experiencing? The kernel panics are being caused by the modem, and it started happening when I upgraded to the 10j base. This replacement also came with 10j. Am I just super unlucky with two duds or is there really something going on here?
TLDR; Anyone else with a h918 with 10j bootloader/modem running custom roms and seeing random reboots?
What kernel do you use? If you use Konverged, it seems to give random reboots after a while of use. I noticed that right away though.

Have always left kernel stock.
Are you making sure that you are wiping data when flashing a rom? Clean install should help. What other things do you use? When does it crash? Maybe a root app is causing this???

This is a fresh replacement device with a clean rom install. There was no data to wipe. Happens even without any apps installed and it's completely random and cannot be reproduced. The only thing I know is the modem is causing the kernel panics.

The entire point here is that I don't want to run stock or anything based on stock. I would simply chalk it up to the Lineage base but since I'm one of a serious minority having this problem I'm led to believe it's something simpler that can be fixed. Possibly related to 10j as most custom ROM users are still running 10d firmware

Anything not based on stock will give you issues. One reason why I like stock based roms is because the second screen will actually work... I would atleast test a stock based rom to see how it goes. If it works and doesnt crash, Then something is wrong with the rom or your could be flashing it wrong :/ Idk, just an idea to test. Non stock roms will Always give you issues. Always
If you still have issues on a stock based rom, then I would downgrade with the kdz and try again. Its probably crashing since the modem is 10j and the rom isnt really fit for that.

I never used the second screen, it's more of a nuisance for me. Everything it did can be replaced by gestures and lockscreen settings on custom. Only thing I miss is notifications but that's why we have ambient display.
I might try downgrading to the 10i firmware to see what happens. Unfortunately there are no 10d flashables. Otherwise this ROM is flawless.

Not to shoot down your opinion, but why would you get it if the Second screen is a nuisance to you?? Im also pretty sure camera is screwed on custom roms.... I just dont have that appeal. Its better safe than sorry to check and see if a stock rom works fine than to downgrade and it still doesnt work :/ Idk thats my 2 cents

Not a Samsung fan. Especially with KNOX. I buy phones first based on the chances of development producing workable custom ROMs and second based on hardware features.
Back to the main topic: I just managed to flash the 10i modem alone so we'll see what happens. I'm working on extracting the 10d modem as well.

UPDATE: Flashing the 10i modem made no difference, still having random reboots (although they seem less frequent), I will try the 10d modem once I find a way to extract it from the TOT files posted on this forum.

My LG G5 (H850) and me - My experience and advice

Dear friends,
Here is what I found after one full year of using this device. This is not intended to be used as installation guide. Please reffer ro appropriate thread for that.
One confession: I'm a flashoholic.
- It has a great camera setup. The images are rarely rivaled even by Galaxy S8+
- Removable battery!
- It has 3 main issues: LCD ghosting/burn-in, GPS connectivity and erratic fast-charging.
These issues made this great phone dirt cheap. Luckily ghosting and fast-charging are software issues (or software fixable issues) and GPS can be fixed.
ROMs:
Marshmallow stock is blazing fast. I'm actually using it now after having tried all other, including Oreo. Fast-charging has not issues here and the ghosting can be fixed by using sFilter Lite. Just set it to black, 10% (you'll get it)
Nougat stock is the slowest I've used. Battery hungry too. It also features notification delay which was unacceptable for me. Nougat introduced the fast-charging issues on some G5s. If you like Nougat, go for Fulmics 5.5 (thank you @xpirt) or H-Rom H30 Port 3.0 (thank you @Astrako). These are beautiful and great. Also, don't forget to flash mk2000 1.5.5 kernel (thank you @askermk2000). It will fix the fast-charging and enable you to use Kernel Adiutor to set Screen to 238 R/G/B to fix ghosting without overlay (sFilter).
Lineage 14.1 is the most stable of all the LOS/RR family. The only problem for me is the camera. You can install GCam port, but it will not use the Laser Autofocus which was to much of a compromise.
Lineage 15.1 and RR 6.2.1 are feature packed and fast but with small niggles might bother you. Make sure you flash these with Nougat bootloader as it will not boot with stock Oreo bootloader. Note that this may soon change.
Oreo stock fixed fast-charging again and restored some of the speed and battery life Nougat lost, but it is not as fast as Marshmallow and, for me at least, it has notification lag issues. I have 7 e-mail accounts and I can't have this. Make sure you install mk2000 2.0 (check for latest) for ghosting fix. Also, try the amazing new H-Rom.
Check out the thread about GPS Issues to demystify them... or just squezze the top right of the phone when you need GPS.
I'm happy with my LG G5. It is trully an amazing device!
Waiting to see how the Project Treble will work out.
That's it from me for now.
Hold up.. How do you remove ghosting with mk2000 kernal..
Otherwise great little review
Mk2000 kernel supports color calibration. You then just need an app to tune the kernel, such as Kernel Adiutor, to set the RGB values and remove ghosting.

Just set R/G/B to 238 in Screen section of Kernel Adiutor. Ghosting will be gone.

It took me a year to find and test everything. That's why I decided to share.
thanks for the tip, i never experienced MM as bought the phone around 6 months back, but for me oreo is very snappy and smooth
the 2 negatives for me are: -
1. GPS, we all know the troubles with it, weirdly oreo helped, but its only decent outside, inside forget it..
2, fingerprint scanning, dont use it now..back on 7.0 it sometimes worked..but more often than not i would get an error saying not working or something,
now on 8.0, i cant register a print, get an error about enrolment...i just stick to pincode so its not a problem
1. I am using my H850 for 2 years and have seen burn-in only for one single day (about half year ago), after that it just vanished an I have never seen ghosting anymore. My brightness is always set to 100% and I have never used any color filters or custom kernels with color calibration features on my Fulmics 4.5 (exactly 4.5 version, because I am too lazy to update it and it works just good, but I don't say that new versions is bad).
2. never had any problems with stock Qualcomm fast charging on Nougat. Speed of charging is the same as speed of Power Delivery for iphone 8. Don't understand what are you talking about, guys...
3. there is very laggy expanding and scrolling in notifications list on Nougat ROMs. Yeah, it is true.
4. russy23, my fingerprint scanner successfully scans in 99 cases of 100. G5 has not the fastest scanner on the market, but it is very accurate. But maybe it is just my skill, because I am using smartphones with back-mounted fingerprint scanners since 2014
5. can't say anything about GPS, I don't need 1 meter accuracy, so GPS on my G5 just works when I call a taxi and that's fine

Hey man, i ran kernel auditor on rooted phone, running Nougat stock... Can't find the screen section anywhere... Any help? can you send a screenshot to see where exactly the setting is?

You need to flash mk2000 kernel. I suggest version 1.5.5
Reboot to TWRP, flash mk2000 and wipe cache/dalvik, reboot and you will have Screen in Kernel Adiutor

That's strange. Make sure you have the latest TWRP 3.2.3.1 as you are on stock Nougat, not LOS based rom. Also, try redownloading the file. Maybe it is corrupt.

Strange indeed. I didn't have any issues even with encrypted stock and believe me, I flashed a lot. I'll look into it.
Edit: Some people report issues with Magisk, bu you are on SuperSu.
If you don't like experimenting with instaling Magisk (removing SuperSu), then you can install sFilter Lite and enjoy. See above for details.

CPU Cores Stuck At Max

Anyone have anything similar happen?
On OOS 10.5.13 rooted with Magisk stable 20.4.
Tested on several kernels, same results.
A reboot fixes this temporarily but eventually will go back to max. Any help would be appreciated!
What kernel are you using?
What ROM?
Are you in performance mode?

Currently on blu_spark, also happens on Kiri, and Franken
Running stock OOS

So it's not going to be anything to do with the ROM. I'm on 10.5.12 UK which is the same as 13 in your region.
Honestly, I'm on xXx and rooted.
Just don't flash the kernel tweaks..
Just go with the stock kernel.. performance seems to be the emphasis on all of the custom kernels yet battery doesn't..
This is a side effect of it..
The reason it's been inherited between kernels is because there are values or even a few changes which haven't reverted.
You may even need to reinstall the OS. Unless you can isolate the changes causing it..just saying. Maybe quicker.

It stays stuck permanently. Rebooting helps for a short while but then it goes back.
Yeah I haven't tried stock yet but something tells me it's not kernel related, but possibly some app or module.

I don't have any kernel tweaks installed, just a couple of Magisk modules like systemless hosts for AdAway, fonts, and BusyBox.
Having trouble isolating the issue so I may need to wipe and start fresh. Just thought maybe a user here had a similar experience and could tell me what caused it for them so I can fix it myself.
Appreciate the responses!
Welcome mate, tbh though I don't shouldn't say you need a kernel for performance.
Maybe battery life but tbh the stock kernel does a decent enough job..if you do wipe, I wouldn't bother with custom kernels.
The performance is defined there already.

Yeah I just try to find a more lightweight kernel where OnePlus' debugging is removed. Maybe the difference is not noticeable in performance/day to day use so I guess for me it's more of a OCD thing lol
I mainly only like high brightness mode in terms of kernel features. Otherwise I get about the same battery results with every kernel, which is 11%-15% drain per hour.
As for this CPU issue, it's been flawless all day. I'm trying my hardest to stress test the device to see what exactly triggers it. If it remains fine throughout the night and by morning, I guess I saved myself a couple of hours for wiping and getting my setup back!
Will keep this thread posted if I ever manage to find the culprit.
Did you end up finding the culprit? I'm facing the exact same problem. I'm on stock 10.5.13 global, stock kernel. Rooted with magisk 20.4, No mods except for youtube vanced and adaway. Any help is appreciate Ed.

Unfortunately no, however I don't have the issue anymore after switching to Omega Kernel.
I'm not trying to say the kernel I was previously on caused the issue, and that Omega resolved it; just saying that's the only change I made and now my CPU cores are behaving normally and haven't given me problems since.
Maybe try playing around with custom kernels yourself? Also check for what apps you have chosen not to be battery optimized, could be a potential culprit as well.

I flashed omega kernel like you suggested, and the problem just went away. It's been three days now with omega and everything has been great so far. Thanks again!

EX Kernel Manager.
Issue came back just last night...frustrating. Noticed battery life was going fast, might need to factory reset at this point.

Mine hasn't come back yet, everything is still good thankfully. I'm still on omega. I just can't wrap my brain around this one. And no one else seem to be experiencing this problem.. I searched high and low on this forum, believe me. You and I are the only ones reporting this so far i think.

Yup, seems like it.
Might bite the bullet and reset this thing when I get some time this week.
Update on this issue:
Ended up factory resetting shortly after I originally posted this and everything is working as normal!
Switched to the Pixel 5 though, so will not be keeping an eye on this thread any longer. If anyone else experiences this, seems like a factory reset will do the trick if all else fails! Just install everything back one by one to ensure it's not an app or mod causing it.
