I have really annoying problem with extreme lagging on xtreme vanilla aosp.
Coolpad F1 works really smoth 80 % of time,then lets say I leave him idle 30 minutes and get notification,first it starts with some lagging then lagg and freezing is unbearable to the point I have to remove battery and reinsert it and then works good until point where it starts with lagg to the status of unusuable.

Can Greenify cause this or something else ?

[Guest slime00]

greenify is for cr**py phones with slow soc and 512mb-1gb ram, our phone doesn't need it :D removing it should only be good!

So I did it,will see now.

Any better app for hibernating unwanted apps ?

i uninstallled it when i found out it was responsible for the freezes and the reboots.But vanilla 3 lags a bit nevertheless.I m sure there is some other similar app but i haven't searched.If you find one post it here!

I thought it was more for battery saving than RAM freeing?

Why not just use something simple like Root App Delete if you want to completely disable (or eventually delete) apps?

 

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.systemappremover&hl=en

 

You can run it in "Junior" mode to disable system or user apps.

If there are no problems and you don't need the apps in question then you can re-enable them go back into "Pro" mode and delete them.

Obviously backing up before removing anything for good is a good idea.

 

Of course there are lots of other similar apps but I always found this one useful.

Specifically I use Greenify for hibernating news, weather or podcast apps etc that run in RAM constantly. I don't want them to update/run unless I tell them to but I find a lot of apps don't give me the option of that so I do it this way. Also, I thought that hibernating these would reduce their battery consumption. Is any of that true?

I understood freezing to mean disabling an app altogether without uninstalling it.

I guess that there may be other definitions.

I liked this one... :D

You mean disabling it until you explicitly manually run it?

I think you may be battling with the built-in Android memory management so and this may not be a great idea?

Well, the way I understood Greenify to work was, in a simplistic way, to move an app from the "Running" screen in your app list, to the Sleeping or Hibernating screen. Move it out of the live RAM but keep it in the cache memory (I don't know if my terms are right here)

For example, I like Antennapod for podcasts but it stays in RAM all the time, which is completely unnecessary. So I put it to sleep until I open the app.

I understood that this would save the battery a little. I mean this is more obviously useful in a Samsung phone where there are lots of Samsung apps running constantly all causing a little battery drain. Whether it's worth it when you're running something close to AOSP is debatable I guess.

[Guest volanis1980]

For me hibernating the Facebook app (not the FB Messenger) saves me a lot of battery time (i believe 30-60 more SOT minutes).

[Guest dalyer]

As ever if you want to see where your battery is being used then there are a wealth of apps available to check this and for wakelocks etc.

 

E.g. BetterBatteryStats, WakelockDetector, Gsam Battery Monitor etc.

[Guest EvilSeamanRuby]

Can someone suggest a rom with few bloatware apps in it. Ive just dloaded vibe ui but its overrun. Is there a separate gapps file to flash with it?

[Guest dakok]

Go to this topic first page

Press Ctrl + F

Write-in "gapps"

Press Enter

[Guest baniko]

Screenshot_2015-04-13-12-01-42-212.jpeg this is the vibe ui version that I have

And I still have the zip file

Just for (kind) reminder.

Please, when you have the time, upload the file somewhere (i think the easiest is something like dropbox).

Edited April 17, 2015 by baniko

[Guest EvilSeamanRuby]

Did that,the file is empty for the 4.4.2 gapps link.

Its vibe ui 2.0 v1451 with a root file

Edited April 17, 2015 by EvilSeamanRuby

[Guest dakok]

Third gapps result from that page links to this where you can select your gapps (JB or KK - look at your rom)

New FIUI for F1 WCDMA is out

 

 

 

Lenovo Lemon K3 Note rom is out - for TD phones (patch needed)

Different SoC, 5.0 too???

 

It's from F1 topic at MIUI forum - check it before flashing, might be wrong rom!!!

 

Edited April 17, 2015 by dakok

[Guest slime00]

hmm, quite strange! Pretty sure they made a mistake!

By the way, it seems this FIUI is based on Cyanogen, might be good!

Edited April 17, 2015 by slime00

[Guest dakok]

Tempted? :D

[Guest slime00]

yes, but since it's based on Cyano (which is still not working properly for our device) and made by some chinese dev (we know they are not very fond on testing their roms before releasing) I'll leave the honor to someone else :D

[Guest razorinc]

I tried on few hours, still not for daily use... but for sure in the future it would be great rom if all the problems are solved. I really like its simplicity and smoothness.

[Guest slime00]

I really hope this rom and Cyanogenmod will become stable one day, great pieces of software! :D
