ROM "deterioration" over time

[Guest Epic-Emodude]

Hi all,

When CM6.1 Beta 0.2 came out, I installed it on my phone. It was mega fast and the best thing that ever happened to my phone. I loved it.

Today my phone is almost unusable. Over time it seems to have become gradually slower, locking up more and more often, to the point where today I turned it on and most core apps forced closed.

Has anyone else had anything simular?

Anyone know why?

Thanx

Aaron

I can verify that this happens to me too.

I've been using CM 0.3 for a couple of days, and with the tips I mentioned on the main CM topic, my phone is very fast, haven't got a single FC since I installed it, and I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

Why don't you try to reflash CM 0.3 (use this guide by twrock, it's awesome), apply my tips and then let it run for a few days to see if you still have slowdowns?

Im probably going to have to. When its started getting worse, I was trying to hold out until 0.4 came out, but I dont think that will happen any time soon. Oh well

Maybe you ca try to wipe the dalvik cache. Flibblesan mentioned somewhere that it speeds up the rom.

[Guest Daz555]

Wiping dalvik cache along with using a util like cachemate keeps everything tip top. Also removing the last dozen or so crap apps you never use ca help.

[Guest TaiwanCHT8k]

if you have dta2sd installed, you may as well use its dalvik cache erasing commands

clockwork recovery does not properly wipe dalvik when the cache is stored in the SD

I would try the fixing apk uid mismatches in AmonRA (think there's something in clockwork/rom manager too?), I believe this is a common fix for when apps start force closing. As others said above I would also wipe dalvik cache & use the repair sd ext option in AmonRA as well...
