My eldest brother G version S2's in-built speaker not function anymore, now he has to turn on the loud speaker while speaking. It's just 2 months since he bought his phone.

His phone also got problem with auto restart + lag. He is using official unrooted ROM. He doesn't install any pirate app and he mainly use it for internet browsing only.

My younger G version of S2 also reboot sometimes. My friend non-G version also got this problem + lag. My non-G also had reboot + lag problem for the first few days I bought it. The problem disappeared after I rooted/flashed to new ROM.
*
Wow that's a truck load of problems.

Elder brother definitely needs to send his to service centre (and kick up a fuss while he's there) laugh.gif

For TW users, AppZorter has an update.

Now can group system and downloaded apps differently for sorting.

And upon finish has a "manual close" button to go right to TW to force close it.

All in all alot better now the app smile.gif

Tried playing Asphalt 6 after so many months, lagged like a slideshow even with my tweaks. Then tried changing pairs of governers and schedulers and still did not help at all.

Switched over to NEAK and it ran super smooth. Not to mention everything else is smoother.
*
Asphalt worked fine for me iianm on Siyah. But yeah, recently trying to play around with settings to get Siyah to be less jittery. Don't think 40% threshold on lulz is a good solution laugh.gif Tried having up sampling time to 10k and down sampling time to around 80k also can't stop the jitters here and there

Edit : Looking at NEAK's lulz setting, it's roughly same to what I was trying to do. Gah maybe it was fine, let me play around on NEAK for a while sweat.gif

Just as I'm typing this, I'm waiting for phone to boot up after flashing NEAK. Ah gosh, the sudden change in colors. Liked it last time, dono what to make of it this time.

Gah making Android jitter free is a pain tongue.gif

At this stage, I just could not care less. I want a smooth phone  without having to spend hours testing and tweaking and figuring out which 1 setting is causing it to lag. I don't mind tweaking a lot like I did for my lulzactive for siyah 2.6.13. But even then I could notice lags that were non-existent on NEAK. The gaming performance is the final nail in the coffin. I am done with Siyah. I just flashed NEAK, not changed a single setting, and the phone(and games)runs much better.

And I tested my bluetooth mouse and USB OTG adapter work as well.
*
Haha coincidence here. Was having fun tweaking, nice to be in control, but seriously, for whatever reason, I couldn't erm, tame Siyah to make it not stutter around. Gah do miss the many tweaking options in ex tweaks though

I have fun tweaking too. Only if there is a chance of good results. I thought my tweaking with Siyah would have made it better. Then I thought maybe it was bad for gaming, so I switched to the default by removing the boot settings, and it still jittered. There is no denying that NEAK is smoother overall and is just as power efficient. You should check out the NEAK config app.
*
Had the app when it was first launched and I was on NEAK, rather meh compared to ext tweaks tongue.gif

But yeah, been trying over a few days of different settings, can't figure Siyah out. Rather defeating really. So back on NEAK for now laugh.gif

Tweaking is always fun but when we have problem and the phones goes into problem, that is when the negative part comes  tongue.gif

Hmm speaking of which, haven't really given RedPilll proper go, maybe should do that.

You also kuat tweak one right, where do you get best performance? (eg. UI wise, least stutters, ignoring battery life)

@ashwin and @elimnist On siyah .13, seems like on lulzactive asphalt jitters like crazy, while on ondemand is ok, but it isnt super smooth. How's it on neak ashwin? Super smooth? Thunderbolt? What io/governor?

Also, is it just me or why colors arent gradient in games? Like in world of goo, at the reward screen, at the back theres gradient colors, they look so blocky, like it isnt smooth gradient. Also, is it just me or they need to be fed text isnt sharp
*
NEAK is like smooth. Think mine and ashwin's setup rather the same, TB, and on lulz. I'm on sio, not sure bout ashwin (default NEAK is VR)


Talking about NEAK's colors? Yeah they're rather weird, but I can't remember in terms of games, will test em out later

Don't think battery is affected, but if you don't like seeing the Android OS bug, it's right there for NEAK, can piss you off laugh.gif

Hi bro please help, in deep shit now rclxub.gif
My situation :
On foxhound batista 2.3.6 at first but the system become unstable after 4 months of usage so I decided to jump to foxhound ICS 0.3, installed via CWM and it success at first installation (after applying both part of the files) but my old apps still appears on ICS which some are incompatible, so I decided to do a reset/restore via the ICS settings. When I reboot it hang on the foxhound loading page like forever (more than 1 hour), I'm not sure whether this is boot loop.
Try to get in to CWM again and wipe everything and reinstall foxhound 0.3 again but it still hang on boot logo everytime I boot.

Can someone point me to the solution? Thanks  notworthy.gif
*
Install something else first?

Might be something in some system partition causing bootloops, any UC via VC/start up services that has a flashable zip to delete?

Can start by trying to wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) in CWM, but doubt that would help. I've never tried before, but alternatively you could wipe system in CWM, refer here. Do at your own risk btw

Colours as in like lets say light green at bottom, dark green at bottom, you need gradient properly so that it looks smooth right? But i noticed that android apps that gradient isnt good, in fact, its quite ugly looking to me, is it normal?

Neak didnt fix aos bug? sweat.gif maybe next time i try neak
*
Hmm not sure wo, any particular app/game I can look at to analyse? You mean gradient across Android in general, not particular kernel?

Yeah, he lists it as "doesn't hide AOS bug". The heck rclxub.gif

QUOTE(freddy manson @ Mar 10 2012, 09:03 AM)
Done! DALVIK CACHE wiped, and Play Store is accesible!
Some reading on dalvik cache and i just wipe it thru CWM..

thanks!

Ah awesome, glad to hear it worked! smile.gif

NEAK is super smooth. Didnt change a single setting. The only thing I did was to enable EXT4 tweaks with the app.
Yeah, running it on VR+lulzactive
The AOS usage is hidden in other kernels. It is not that it is fixed or something.
*
Eh thought ext 4 is enabled by default?

@elimnist Another example of my ugly 'gradient' thing/issue

Hmm okie. Will check it in detail when I'm back. Currently on trip lol
