[MOD] Remove home button lag associated with voice command app

[yoderk]

Hi hope this is in the right section

I found a post in the GSII International forum that removes the lag that you experience when hitting the home button on our phones.

This is due to the voice command app. This fix removes the voice command double tap option, you will have to access it from the app drawer now but it removes the lag associated with the app launching when hitting the home button.

This has only been tested and confirmed working on Cog X2 Beta-3 and Cog X2 Beta-4. Does not work on odexed stock as well as Perception. YMMV

As usual flash at your own risk, I am not responsible for your phone or problems it has from this modification.


Here is a CWM package courtesy of jivy26 to make flashing a little easier!

Just download the file at the bottom of this post and push it to system/framework. This can be done via Root Explorer by copying and replacing the file in the system/framework folder or with an adb push.

*The initial boot takes a bit

Thanks to Oliwe for the lines of code to mod!

Nevermind. I figured out that that just means to copy and replace the file that is in the system/ framework directory

Brilliant find. This was really bugging me. that was the 1 thing that made this super fast phone seem slow

This can also be done with adb push as follows:

adb push android.policy.jar system/framework

Yes it really makes a difference in my opinion. The lag was just ridiculous not to mention I would usually hit the home key a few times (very impatient hahaha) opening the voice command app which I never use.

Finally . This was my one gripe about the device. It was very noticeable to me, but not many people acknowledged it.

Beta 1 btw.

I threw the link into the OP and gave you cred for it, hope you don't mind.

Will this work on the stock, odexed ROM?

 

[switters1]

Wow. This makes such a huge difference! The home button works instantaneously now!

It's only been tested on Cog X2

This changes everything. Again.

Many thanks!

If you can figure out how to split the file into android.policy.jar and android.policy.odex! android.policy.jar in the stock rom is only 313 bytes.
