[ROM][Team Hydro] Gelato 11-28 For Virgin Mobile Optimus Slider

Re: [ROM][Team Hydro] LG VM701_Gelato 11-13

The UI ( attempts to) uses hardware acceleration, same as stock, you can verify this yourself. But even so, it doesn't use true acceleration in the way you're thinking. True accelleration comes in the form of ICS. You're answer is in the post above yours. Improper scaling impacts UI first and foremost, which is what you're seeing.

EDIT - I haven't mentioned it so i probably should, someone from Team Hydro has this same exact build running on the Optimus S, with a kernel built from Optimus S source, and apparently it runs like a raped ape. The problem is not with the build. The problem lies in the LG kernel.

I am aware that true hardware acceleration Is only available on 4.0.
but when I had the Optimus V The interface was very smooth and apps loaded much more quickly then they do on the slider.
thank you for confirming that this is an issue with the kernel and not the build or the phone itself.
will you possibly be able to compile a new kernel that will allow the UI to be a bit more smooth?
If you need a tester I am more then willing to be of service.
I would really like to see this phone operate as well if not better then the V currently does.

Drew is working on it - http://forums.androidcentral.com/vi...verclocking-optimus-slider-2.html#post1404809

If he can get interactive working the phone will be in better shape at least because of the jump up and slow scale down. We'll see.

THIS IS A BETA, No need to wipe. Download it, make a backup, and flash. No warranty/guarantee.
- Upped min freq - Need someone to confirm what min freq is set after booting it.
- Updated youtube, moved to /system to free up space
- Added power control notification widgets thanks to team hydro developer jstntp

Downloaded and installed,
Status bar force closes on boot

samusishere1 can you download THIS BUILD and see if the performance is a little better? Same notes as before except i removed the power control notification toggles.

I'm running into occasional lockups with this ROM - when the phone is trying to awake from standby by sliding open. Everything hangs for a good 5-10sec!

A task killer might be needed - did not observe this behavior on stock phone.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
I was looking around and I saw this video.
It looks like the OS is running a lot smoother on stock (atleast in this video) then it ever did when I was using stock
I'm confussed
Maybe I just have a bad phone?

A bad phone is unlikely, but possible, I've had some bad phones before. What i think is more likely statistically is you have a bad app. You may consider data/factory reset from recovery and starting fresh. This suggestion doesn't make any sense if you're going to just toss all the same apps back on but if you are going to invest time into determining a possible cause, then that's a good place to start.

If someone ever puts a task killer on an Android ROM I've worked on, I ask that they please do not post in my ROM thread until after the ATK has been removed, and they've rebooted your phone. Please keep that in mind when making your decision as i do not offer any form of assistance to people who use task killers.

correct,
however the only reason I felt that it might be a defective phone is that it had the same problem on stock as well with no extra apps loaded.
And it doesn't seam to be a problem in terms of UI performance on other phones in videos I've seen lol

Try full wipe and clean flash and see what it does for yah. I'll edit this post in a bit and maybe you can check out a version that moves dalvik cache to /cache rather than /data will should free up some MB's for app installation. Win/Win, you get to see if a full wipe fixes your UI issue and i get to see if the cache mod works

EDIT - HERE IS THE DOWNLOAD LINK
The only change i made from the version you tested yesterday is an addition of a dalvik cache to /cache mod.
download, backup, full wipe, flash. Will take a while to boot because it will need to create the dalvik cache so be patient. As always, no warranty

Quick Question while my phone takes 2 century s to Finnish.
instead of compiling a whole new kernel for the phone, since the optimus V and slider are so simialer can you just edit a few entries in the code for an optimus V kernel like adding a keyboard script, led light, etc and then just throw it into one of your roms?

Quick update on this - I tried the ROM first without wiping, then with a wipe - observed the sluggish behavior in both scenarios. No task killer was used.

Went back to stock for now - got SetCPU set to ondemand - working nicely.

Not sure what to tell you. This ROM is just not for you, and that's ok. Thanks for trying it though.

Drew has the kernel piece. He could provide insight, I've heard a little bit from him but i know he's busy with all kinds of projects but he is still working on it. The good news is his kernels are pretty damn nasty so I'm sure once he has a tester available it will be buttery.

Hey, I appreciate you getting a ROM up though - don't want to sound unappreciative!
I'll be here, testing new releases and giving my results.

Looks like you made this forum the place to be for Optimus Slider h4xing, KSmith. Thank you!
