Are you noticing lag after 4.0.2 update?

I'm not talking major lag, just a tiny bit when browsing the apps deck or widgets.

Yes, especially when scrolling through the Widget screens. Also had 2 Launcher force closes since flashing 4.0.2 Yesterday. Hope 4.0.3 will take care of that..

Yeah I noticed that as well... it's very slight, but it was noticeable for me right away.
Did you guys have yakju from the start? or switched over from another build?

I immediately noticed it with the keyboard. Slightly annoying .

Same here. GO Launcher is really bad. Stock is a bit "sticky" too.

I switched to yakju. Used to be that yakjux or w/e its called. I didn't notice any issues with the first update from Google though.

You guys need to go into settings, into developer options and turn on " Force GPU rendering". It will speed things up.

I've had 2D HWA on since day 1
I'm about to flash mikes 2.1.1 been waiting for it heard its supposed to be much smoother, that's the feedback so far. Mikes ROMs are always top notch

Yep, I rolled back to 4.0.1.

Maybe one of the reasons for crashing was the acceleration and they disabled something to cure it but made worse. Sigh.

Switched to the latest version of the 4.0.1 stock build, and things are back to normal again. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in my head lol
I think I'm gonna wait it out with this image till google releases 4.0.3. Because they obviously broke something in 4.0.2 :S

the only lag Ive really experienced is with google voice commands. After hitting thehome screen button you have to wait a second before hitting the microphone- if you hit it right away nothing happens. Maybe a little lag with the keyboard in the firt 30-45 seconds the phones on but thats it for me. Now signal thats another issue and that ones annoying.

It has to do with the CPU governors, not everyone seems to be experiencing the lag issue which is weird. Got 15min left on mikes 2.1.1 will see if his release runs better, if not restoring to 4.0.1 until 4.0.3

Just rooted mine and my speed issues seem to be gone on 4.0.2. No idea as to why that is.

I too noticed this on the homescreen, browsing apps/widgets, web browsing... I use a live wallpaper and when I scroll to the left or right the live wallpaper stutters and just pressing the home button repeatedly while on home screen... the live wallpaper stutters...
like someone else said... I think it's something to do with the adjustments they made to the CPU governor
Just upgraded to it 10 minutes ago

Android nub question alert: lots of people here flash in a moments notice, so are you backing up your settings/apps/data etc using some app to restore after flashing? If so, what r u using?
Thanks

I personally use MyBackupPro, works great for me. Titanium Backup is a very good app as well. Also suggest to always do/have a Nandroid Backup to go back to just in case.
UPDATE: Anybody that's interested, 2.1.1 eliminated most of the lag I was experiencing on Stock 4.0.2.

thank you sir!

Android 4.0.3 + Franco's kernel is a speed demon!

Just recently upgraded to a 4.0.3 build and wow... The difference is tremendous. 4.0.2 felt really smooth and lag-free but this is really taking advantage of the hardware. It's by the far the smoothest UI I have ever used on a mobile device. Android has really come a long way! I don't think I could ever go back to using a Gingerbread device again
In case anyone is interested in giving it a shot, this rom + this kernel produce amazing results.
EDIT: Removed the video. Just realized some of the phone numbers are readable.

Can't wait for my Nexus, gonna unlock bootloader , root it, and then install 4.0.3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

4.03 by itself is a lot better.. recent app button lag is practically gone from that alone..
Franco's kernel does help, of course.. but it was better than 4.02 even without it.

Yeap, I was on 4.0.3 alone before switching to franco's kernel. Both are much faster than 4.0.2. The kernel just gives it a little extra oomph.

As an CDMA/LTE user I guess I can just watch.

Nice, I'm going to wait for the official OTA or flash it manually once it's available because I don't want to lose all my settings.
I NEED 4.0.3 NAO!! omg I want it so bad!!!1! j/k
But seriously, I want it!

Can you show a vid of you pinch-zooming/scrolling around a heavy website like The Verge's desktop?
My G-Nex (VZN) is pretty laggy on that site, I wonder if 4.0.3 improves it..

Still a bit too early to tell but I hear good things from other members.

Another +1 here for this combo. Loving it.
Turns out I also got a nice CPU that is happy to run with low voltage. Currently at 1000mv @ 1200mhz and testing.
edit: 900mv was fine, 850mv was instant crash. Going to settle for 925mhz.
Now to continue testing the other frequencies.

Those additional shortcuts (eg. to bookmarks) in quick controls in the browser, are they part of 4.0.3 update? I've only got three icons there with 4.0.1 official.
Overall, I'm very impressed, never thought that such heavy sites can run so smoothly. +1'd on YouTube

Quick controls is the feature you activate in your browser. Just go to settings, the last option there is the Labs. Go there and you'll find two "experimental" features, quick controls and full screen. Both are pretty decent. With quick controls you just touch the edge of the screen anywhere on the left side or right side and they'll show up giving you quick shortcuts to settings, tabs and to the address bar.

Follow the forum guides to install CWM on your device and then flash the ROM+Kernel to update. Make sure you download the GSM version and you will be fine.

Screen rotatiton lag

Ok, guys.
Everybody knows about screen rotation lag on Android. Somebody has 1 sec, somebody 5 sec lag.
At code.google.com people say it is intentional. And I do believe so. Just try landscape in browser and press home without rotating device, my screen rotates super fast and without any lag.
So does anyone know any possible way to change the delay between the phone being put in landscape and the screen start rotating?
BTW I'm on AndroidME 1.5 CM10 ROM and I did my own research with google with no luck.

Rotation lag has completely disappeared for me since I run JB.

Which ROM Do you run? I'm on JB as well and I do have 1 sec lag.

I have about a second of lag too, but it's hard for me to consider this lag. The orientation is dependant upon the accelerometer. The hardware recognizing an adjusted angle and switching the orientation all within a second seems within the confines of reason in my opinion.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The lag you speak of I believe is to make sure the user actually intended to rotate their phone. Its never really bothered me to be honest. Back when I used my Nexus S, CNA had an option to increase the response of this rotation. Not sure if that's included in their JB release though.

But that lag bother me a lot, try rotating phone while in camera you'll how amazingly fast the rotation can be.

Well yeah. It's the camera. Like I said, that tiny bit of lag is to make sure the user intentionally rotated the phone. I'm sure you can edit this via the build prop or something else.

That's why I want to know how I can do this, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

The camera app itself doesn't rotate.
Try holding the phone in landscape then click next where the onscreen keys are, you'll see that they're sill in the portrait orientation.

Hi works really well to turn on/off screen,but when you have it enabled for WiFi also it gets a bit confusing.when you swipe to unlock screen great,hold hand for 2 seconds great WiFi comes on but when you want to just turn off WiFi it turns off screen no matter and you need to swipe screen back on and turn off WiFi manually as it always turns off screen before you turn off wifi,not a complaint just an ob but a really great app
many thanks am using it to turn my screen on and off.

New update information
Hey guys I actually fixed a lot of stuff I did a lot of changes but some things are still delaying me from being able to release the new update.
Actually new update may be possible to be seen by the end of this week.
As long as I am working on it alone it is really hard for me and I am giving it, all the free time I have I spend a lot of nights on it.
So if you guys would be that kind please consider some small donation. I want to buy S4 to see how the things are going on it. Or an HTC One so I can test the app on powerful device and improve it more and faster. Or just buy me a coffee or a donut. Many thanks, many thanks.
I would really appreciate it and I'll give you credits in the OP
Note: If anyone made a donation, PM me. Thanks.

- if all setting properly checked but still got issues try reset keyboard by clear data & cache from setting> apps> keyboard.
- if still the same, re-root, install back any good ROM or custom kernel.
thats why we here, bcoz we dont want to use something c**** from stock!!

OK let me know
Do you have Google keyboard v3?

Install swype.
Profit.
I WAS also having issues with lag on swype, but after disabling all the settings I don't use(like next word prediction, the aosp spell checker) and double space period, and then disabled auto spacing but then enable auto spacing again(for some reason my lag did not go away until I toggled this off/on again) things are running smooth.
You can try same with Google keyboard settings, and if you don't need aggressive spell check then disable that as well.
If it mainly lags while you are on the charger, it could also be due to the device getting warm and CPU hitting the thermal throttle temperature causing max freq of 700mhz to be used until CPU temp drops again.

The problem is like this and is not solved

It happens mostly when i am typing on xda website.. When typing everything is perfect but when i press backspace it deletes the letters of the first line even though i press only backspace it changes its position (reason unknown) and also when i am scrolling throughout the page sometimea it throws me to the top.. It also happens in messages and about that prs i also tested it and most of the time it is above 40 but it is not constantly over 40 so that maybe the reason....

It is still present but I am ok with it since cm rom is the most bug free rom (atleast for me)
