New SEEDER App Claims To Boost Performance On Any Android Phone By Eliminating Lag!

[buckmarble]

You should give it a try on your current devices. Seemed to help my Gnex. Also, imoseyon has a patch for this in his latest lean kernel, 5.5. Hopefully soon, this will be included in ROMs

Tapped from a Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS

Could you link me to the patch in his source by chance?

Nm. It appears he hasn't pushed them yet

Lag has many causes, not just from accessing the entropy pool.
I've detailed lags caused by resource leaks causing low memory conditions resulting in excessive garbage collection in a number of postings in this (long) thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=126479

I don't see how this app can help the lag in those situations.
Only a reboot will help, until it happens again.

If you try this out and like it you should buy it from the play store. I haven't noticed much of a difference since installing it on my MAXX HD

i looked up different info on this, it's a placebo effect
it makes everything use /dev/urandom as the entropy pool instead of /dev/random since /dev/urandom has more room than /dev/random
problem is, just about everything you normally use already calls /dev/urandom so that part of the app does nothing
any speedup is from the app process running every second or so making the cpu always be at a higher speed

read through this for info on what the app does and why it shouldnt make any difference for anything newer than gingerbread

Thanks for the link.

I got my $1.49 back.

Put it on my S3 running 4.1.2 AOKP and didn't really see any difference. I'm going to put it on my DroidX and my wife's old Thunderbolt and her current GNex and see what happens.

Just installed this on my wifes Incredible 2, and it seems to work pretty well. Her Facebook and Messaging apps both open much more quickly, and there is a bit less lag in transitions from app to app.

Just so you guys know, the XDA thread has a link to download it for free.

Seems a little quicker on my D3. As for it running the cpu higher all the time, not seeing that when watching the cpu speeds, they fluctuate as usual, and stay on the low end when just watching.

Thunderbolt seems to be a bit faster but won't know until I play with it for a few days

my experience with it on my GNEX. No difference. Positive or negative

Definitely placebo effect. All android phones would be using this to begin with if it actually did any good.
