Hello friend when I use the Nexus wallpaper my phone lags a bit, ive used frankies kernal and matrix kernal on 4.0.3 still lags. How do i fix? I really like the wallpaper!
You can't, since the wallpaper is always constantly running and taking up ram memory, the phone home screens tend to become a bit more choppy when scrolling. Their is no fix for this but you can close apps from running in the background which might be helpful to save memory. Also the launcher your using can make a big difference.

Nope, works fine for me.
Nope. Not very. Just a bit laggy.
I see that UI on 4.2 is not so fast as it was on 4.1.2, but some apps (e.g. chrome) works a bit faster.
So, yep - I'm happy with the update.

People who aren't having speed issues: Can you test a couple of scenarios I've noticed in particular?
1) In the new gmail: tap on the account switching area at the top. This loads far slower for me with the new app
2) Put your phone to sleep or wake it up. Sleep/wake seems quite a bit less responsive in 4.2 on both of the stock phones I've tested.

Disable all animations in developers options and screen off animation will be less noticeable.

i made i wipe cache and now is working fine. thanks a lot
No. 4.2 is just as fast as 4.1.2 on my GNex... which was fast whether I use the stock UI or Apex Launcher. Granted there is an initial sluggishness during the initial boot from services loading in the background... but after that my GNex is smooth and fast.
Those of you experiencing slow speeds: Try flashing the factory image from Google. I had one app that didn't work properly and a flash to factory stock and re-root fixed the problem. It's possible you have an app running in the background eating up resources too.
I understand these threads and posts must be annoying to those who aren't having issues, but to people like me, who OTAed a bone stock phone and are left with a less-than-satisfactory experience, it is equally frustrating. Especially considering how many improvements were made with 4.1-4.1.2, which have now been rendered moot.
I guess my only recourse is to wipe and flash stock, but because I'm not rooted and don't have any backups, it'll be fun to rebuild my phone.

Turn off that live wallpaper! JK hopefully that isnt the case...
Each Android iteration on the GN has gotten smoother for me. 4.2 is pretty amazing out of the box, much like 4.1 was when compared to 4.0.3/.4. The GN is definitely not lacking when it comes to having what it takes for 4.2.
4.2 is really, really fast. When they fix camera rotation and recent apps, it will be perfect. It killed my urge for N4. Now I can easily wait for one more year... Good job Google.

Why does the GN lag so much when installing a app from the playstore?
And can something be done that i can use the device while a app gets installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think it's because Android is just not so optimized, it lags on almost every debice
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
On my stock optimus2x or anfriends note 2 there is not the slightest lag when installing a app.
GN basicly locks up so i doubt its android somehow...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Because the CPU takes a hit with processing the install (unpacking resources, etc). OMAP CPUs are very open for development/modding compared to other CPUs, but the side effect is they're not quite as powerful due to avoiding some libraries and hardware techniques other CPUs might use that are proprietary in certain cases.

Personally I don't have that problem with my gnex . Its smooth as ever but, I don't leave unused apps using resources like fb or other rogue apps.

so i went back to stock (with the exact same apps as before) and this is a huge difference, no lag at all, no even when installing apps from the playstore. no need for any seeder or lagfix hack to get the device working as it should.
so now the question is wether the lag apears as well after some time or if the lag thing is only present in custom roms. and if so then the question is why.
i will keep my device on stock for some weeks to see how it goes.

It will almost certainly come back, and it's not only present in custom ROMs. A clean install of a custom ROM should result in the same speed boost as a clean install of a stock ROM. See the following thread:
Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM
I would also say it depends on what governor and I/O scheduler you use. I would say try the stock settings of interactive and cfq.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
as far as i can remember all custom roms literaly froze when a app was installed. so far i have not seen this on stock and i dont think that is a mather of trim or sheduler/governor.
but i will find out soon enough i guess...
Edit: forgot to ask, you are on a custom rom and your device doesnt freeze while installing apps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have tried 3-4 ROMs so far and never faced this problem.
While downloading apps, I can parallely do other tasks, play games, make and receive calls.
And if this helps, My GNex is 7 months old.

I agree. I'm using XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364. Ever since dumping the stock ROM, the Play Store performance is painfully slow. I have 276 apps on my Galaxy Nexus and the Play Store seems to be the only app that impairs the phone's performance so dramatically.
As a previous poster said, a lot has to happen when installing an app. So I tear myself away from my beloved comm dev from a few minutes and do something else. Like relate to my wife
As this may pertain to samsungs internel hardware, i just wanna confirm if anyone on these launchers on this phone has experinces this little jitter lag when you scroll thru homescreens..seems as if when you swipe the screen stutters and doesnt move to the next one..also when u scroll fast thru homescreens it does this..if there is a fix please direct me to it..its so annoying when i cant find anyone talking about this.. Thanks
I used my friends phone on Apex and Nova and it didnt stutter at all.... and besides, its a dual core processor Snapdragon™ just powering a launcher, i dont think lags would occur. Even if they would, i find it minimal.
EDIT: my friend's phne is the intl version with the Exynos 4412 Quad so i dont know if it applies to ya. You could try flashing MPEngine™ 12SE because the script minimized lags on my phone clocked at 184-921MhZ

A stutter here and there isn't abnormal. If you are getting stuttering on almost every transition, that definitely isn't normal.
Assuming you are running stock, you might want to consider a custom ROM which tend to be smoother. You could also try just rooting and playing with your CPU clock settings.

Thanks guys..i been runnin custom roms and launchers since day one.dnt knw what could cause it..maybe ppl dont notice it..it isnt lag really it seems like sometimes it seems like it doesnt make a complete transition idk its weird..gs2 after ics update had the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Try changing the animation and transition speed. Lower the number, faster it is. Also, if that doesn't work you can try disabling hw overlays. All those are under Developer Options. Here are my settings on Paranoid Android, but i use the same settings for any ROM i run (i did not disable hw overlay, but there's the option)
I think it may be with the hardware..its more of lil stutters in transition pages than lag..havent seen samsung addresss it thou :/

I'm on Apex, no issues at all. Make sure if on Apex the setting "Use Alpha Effect" is disabled in the Home screen Settings.

I've been on TSF Launcher for 5 months now. No lag whatsoever.
Expensive, but we'll worth the money IMHO.

Animation and trasnition speed are the first thing I did. haven't noticed much lag on Apex.
From watching the review videos, the Note 3 seems pretty fluid, much more snappier than the S4. Just wondering if I can get anyone's perspective on it? How snappy is the UI? Does the browser have any lag? Overall performance? Thanks
I have no lag at all. When I took the battery out or restart it takes a min with the optimizing apps at the beginning bc its like 270 apps installed but after that I have no complaints. Not sure if it does the optimizing thing bc im stock rooted or if thats normal.

I second this. I can't see any lag on anything. And I mean anything. Launcher, launching and using apps, scrolling, etc. Super buttery smooth all around.
Third this... Zero lag at all!
I have zero lag. I'm running a stock rooted Rom on T-Mobile with Apex Launcher. The 2.3 GIG processor and the 3 GIG of Ram handle this with lots of room to spare!!!

It has more to do with having 4.3 unlike the s4 thst had 4.2

No lag for the most part, but when turning off the screen, there is a delay from when the button is pressed to when it decides to actually do something.
No lag for me. This phone is fast and smooth.
