[ROM][4.1.2] Cyanogenmod 10 unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G

[ijrr]

Slow

Hi guys,
I installed the CM 10 and Gapps. Plus a few apps that I don't think they have services running (I use them and close).
I noticed that after installing Viber and WhatsApp, phone is extremely slow. Sometimes seems like it's frozen... take several seconds to respond to touch. Do you guys have the same problem? I don't know if there is something you can do for it to work faster.
I searched and don't see people complaining much about the performance... so I'm wondering why I have this problem. To start one application it takes a loooooong time and response time from touches are awful...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Today Google Maps came out with an update that looks to have some very nice new features. For one, it will suggest a new route during navigation when this new route is faster then the original (similar to Waze).

The new Maps wasn't available through Google play yet for me (being rolled out), so I downloaded an APK and installed it. The performance was very bad graphically and it rebooted my device once.

Has anyone downloaded and had success with it?

I reinstalled the old version and all is well again. I don't know if there was an issue with the APK or if it is a problem with our device/CM10.

Thanks.

I got the APK from this link: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...interface-refresh-functionality-enhancements/

[update] Maps was rolled out to my device. The official version worked much better, but I still saw graphical issues with the screen stitching (?) in a strange way. Not all the time, but sometimes. I suspect it should be fine and that it is indicative of a Maps problem and not an issue with the ROM/device.

I had video issues with the new maps also. Fortunately I had a Titanium backup of the old Maps.

The new maps work like garbage. Stuttering, double image, freezing, crashing my phone.

I use it every day for work, had no problems with it.

There is a small forum on this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361462

The best I saw from that is that the poor performance is due to our kernel's lack of Ion which is related to memory management and was introduced with ICS. All native ICS and greater phones should be able to run Maps with no such issues.

I will use the old version of Maps (6.14.4) and use Waze when I expect that traffic conditions could change while in mid-route.

can someone upload the last pre 7.x maps
i'm thinking of switching back due to performance

also, maps is taking up idle battery life again
i forgot what settings to put to stop it, and there isnt much setting to play with in the new maps

How about someone make a maps thread in the general section so we can keep this one about the rom
