Question about Android Performance

ok the device rebooted and everything. I didnt get a confirmation about unlocking being a success. do i just assume it went well if my device is running?
 
Im now searching for an install method for Zeus. I used something Called GooManager to install TWRPs Recovery or another. Apparently it also has the ability to flash roms. Is that a recommended way to go. Use the GooManager App to flash the Zeus Rom?

if you have twrp installed you should be able to flash a rom through twrp

I installed it, through GooManager, but I don't see an actual icon for it. it was

** Using GooManager **
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

it was like openrecovery twrp or something. Is it possible that that goomanager installed it as an addon to extend functionality and I have to use it through goomanager. I don't see anything called openrecovery or twrp in my apps

I see what you mean. If I can change the title, I'll change it to all apps, even simple one like the word processing app that came with the tablet run sluggishly. I can see what you mean about being nitpicky, except that I don't know how else to phrase the question...

Word processing on a tablet? That's my idea of hell! :eek:

Back when the '386 was the baddest CPU that money could buy, some computer scientist remarked that the average desktop PC was as sophisticated as most mainframe computers of the time. He also made the point that mainframes had full-time staffs of operators, programmers, engineers and so forth to keep them going, while most desktops had only their owners, who were mostly untrained.

Today little has changed. Computer users know a bit more than they did back in the '80s, but the computers, operating systems and applications programs are a lot more sophisticated. Since most computer owners aren't trained systems analysts for their systems, there's still a lot of misunderstanding about how they work.

Another thing that hasn't changed is differences in how applications perform. Back when Java was still just a concept, we had 16-bit Windows apps that fell into one of two classes: compiled or interpreted. Compiled apps took more skill to make, but tended to run better and faster. Then there was the dreaded Visual Basic, an interpreted language that needed a gigantic 1MB runtime library (hard to believe these days) and had a nasty reputation for being slow and buggy.

I have zero interest in writing code for Android, but I've noticed that there are a variety of application development environments, with the same basic rules. The OS that Android runs on, Linux, is pretty bulletproof, but the variety of ways there are to produce Android apps says to me that there can be a wide variance in quality among Android apps. That's the price you pay for freedom. :)

my idea of hell as well. but when I noticed the sluggishness, I figured I would try a few apps I considered to be simpler.
 
twrp recovery would be accessed through the bootloader, should be like power+volume down (dont quote me on that) when you power on the device

I did that, and apparently twrp is not installing. it presents free option. wipe data, usb, and little android figure which i assume means boot android

are you sure you have root? twrp should look like this:

I have root. Confirmed by root checker (though I had root the device 3 or 4 times and reboot 3 or 4 times before it finally became rooted) and my ability to use sixaxis. as well as other devices that ask for superuser. In the left hand corner, it tells me the device is unlocked. Installing twrp is the next step right?

I figured it out. I hold down power and low volume and then i have 5 seconds to press volume up. It was in the very fine print at the top left hand corner of the screen :)

Now i asked on the xda forum about just installing zeus using this, cause it seems too easy. He said it works that he cleared both cashes and did a full backup with TWRP just in case. Then I "Installed" Zues...Worked like it should have.

I wiped cache and delvik cache. I will now backup. by default, everything is checked except cache and recovery. should i check those?

you didnt post a link to your site,
