Hello,
I've been having a terrible problem ever since I tried the ArrowOS Android 12 ROM. I noticed that my phone was notably less smooth when scrolling and it had an ever so slight delay to touch that was infuriating, it's not really that visible but it makes the phone feel very sluggish. Scrolling/flinging would result in a lot of stuttering as well.
I poked around and inspected the kernel, and it seems like there's something wrong with the values for the CPU since the maximum the CPU will go to is 2750 on the fastest core instead of 3.2 and 2250 on the big cores (the LITTLE cores are at 1.8ghz max as intended). Now of course this still shouldn't mean the phone should lag as a snapdragon 870 even at those speeds is plenty fast for things like reddit and youtube and such, but I think this might be related to my problem with the smoothness of the UI.
I've since tried going back to official LineageOS 18.1 but the CPU was still stuck to the lower values and the UI was still not smooth. I've tried going back to the latest global fastboot ROM as well but even on full stock, when installing the fastboot rom through Miflash and doing everything clean, the CPU is stuck at these lower values and the smoothness is affected.
What exactly is wrong with my phone? I also tried a few different kernels and none of them were able to go back to the default SD870 settings. The kernel manager shows the maximum values in the dropdown but if I choose to set them as the maximum CPU frequency, they just revert back as soon as the screen refreshes. Setting the scheduler to performance just sticks the frequency to 2750/2250/1800 at all times, it just won't go to 3200/2500/1800 at all.
Is there any way this can be remedied? Has anyone ever experienced this with a phone? I tried goggling it and found nothing...
Thanks for any answers!
