So how many of you out there are running a Cyanogenmod 10 based ROM? That’s what I thought. Most ROM’s are built either from stock, AOSP or CM10 these days. Now you may have noticed the slight lag in CM10 based ROMs, thanks for a developer over on XDA there is a solution to that. And today we are going to show you how to fix it.

Warnings

OMG!Droid is not responsible for any damage caused to your device while flashing.

This should work on any CM10 based ROM, but has been confirmed working on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7.

Requirements

Download surfaceflinter-fix.zip from Mediafire.

A rooted Android device with a CM10 based ROM, some examples are Paranoid Android, Jellybro, Euroskank and of course Cyanogenmod 10 M1 and nightlies.

Instructions

1. Place the downloaded .zip package onto your SD card, or internal storage if you do not have an SD card. Make sure you know the path to that file.

2. Turn off your device and enter recovery mode (varies per device).

3. Once in Recovery select Install zip from SD Card.

4. Next select choose zip from SDcard.

5. Select yes

6. Once the zip is done installing, return to the main menu and select reboot system now

After your device has rebooted you should no longer see any lag. If it worked out well for you head over to this thread in XDA and say thanks to blackhand1001, perhaps even buy him a beer.

    Is AOKP CM10 based? If I’m not mistaken, it used to be based on CM, but I’m not 100% sure if it still is.

      I don’t think AOKP is CM10 based, but I may be wrong.

    Is CNA CM10 based? I know parts are pulled from it, but not sure if it is based on CM10 or not.

    • itsalexaye90

      CNA is not CM10 based. It’s based on AOSP with parts of CM10.

    • itsalexaye90

      I did read in the comments on XDA that it looks like CM added this to their latest nightlies. But I couldn’t confirm on my own devices.
