I have been experiencing this weird problem with the Stock andriod browser ever since I flashed my first ROM. Every 4th or 5th time I open the browser, scrolling is extremely laggy. Laggy to the point of not being able to use. Once I close the web browser and open it back up, the problem is fixed, smooth scrolling once again. This repeats itself throughout the day at random.
I have tried multiple kernels and multiple ROMS all delivering the same problem. I dont know if this is a flaw in the actual browser itself or not, but it really sucks because I love the stock andriod browser.
Any ideas on what would be causing this?
ive noticed this too with the stock browser and i think its just something in the app itself i switched to dolphin browser mini and dont have that lag at all

Dolphin browser is horribly laggy for me. I dont understand why. Everyone says its lag-free for them..... it is at times... but the scrolling is EXTREMELY laggy for me at times.

You need the smooth scrolling mod that comes with the samurai kernel its just framework.jar but usually specific to TW and AOSP ROMS.

hmmm im not entirely sure what could be causing that unless there is something running in the background that is slowing your phone down...are you experiencing lag while scrolling thru anything else like apps or the market?

If i decided to switch to cm9, is it considered an "everday use" ROM yet... or still plenty of bugs to be worked out? Im not picky about the small things, as long as my web browser and apps work! with good scrolling LOL, I cant stand laggy scrolling! it makes my phone feel cheap.
its kind of a toss up yes there are still quite a few bugs to work out but it is stable enough to use as a daily there are just some minor things that dont work...for me its fun to tinker with and learn but i need something more stable and reliable at the moment so im still using CM7 as my daily

Possibly the same Problem?
:cyclops: Hello,
I think I may have the same problem, and was curious if the kernal mentioned fixed it for your issue?
My Issue...
After an extended amount of time using the browser, pages will start to "skip" or "lag" when scrolling. For example, I will place my finger on the screen to scroll a google results page, and without removing my finger I will scroll up or down (doesn't matter which), and during the scrolling I will notice the screen lag. Lag, as in the screen appears to freeze briefly, and then pick up where my finger is, giving the appearance of "lag", "skipping", or "jumping".
I think the important key here is that my finger is not removed from the screen. The problem does not occur when I flick the screen to scroll.
Noticing that the problem happened after an extended amount of time I tested clearing the cache, and force closing the browser. And that does indeed fix the problem, at-least for the time being until it begins to do it again.
Thanks for any help you guys can give, or directions you can lead me in to fix this problem.

Instagram is a app issue with "all" ICS ROMs. It hit and miss as very very few have said it worked for them but majority it does not work.
The app is fully working for me using NexusMod ICS Zero. I admit it wasn't working and was freezing trying to use the filters. But once I did the Fix Permissions Workaround for ICS it is fully working now. It does lag a little on some of the filters but it no longer freezes up the phone or reboots the phone.

Which ROM are you on? Mine uploads fine after the fix permission fix.
Crap...I just updated to the latest Instagram and now mine are pitch black now...lol.
I'm on Racings UCLD Skyrocket ICS, and Instagram actually TECHNICALLY does work now, but it's far from perfect. I've only had one FC though so that's good.
In general its just slow applying the filters at times, and just seems a little "buggy" on my ICS rom. But it does work so I'm not complaining (on the old ICS roms it would just freeze up the entire phone and FC constantly)

The same one as you dude, maybe the next update will fix it.
So how can any of you say it's working when using words like (1 out of 5, lagging, black picture, freezes often)....That my friends is not working so again to not create false hope for any newbies running around trying to get a fix for instagram - It's an app issue with ICS and does not have anything to do with ICS Rom's.

Lol very true. After playing more with instagram I can go ahead and say it doesn't work well enough to warrant using. Mine Freezes on applying filters and when attempting to export photos.
Also the pics that I was able to get edited/uploaded through instagram (after a lot of waiting and semi FC's) I noticed that the quality is severely degraded after it gets uploaded I freely admit I haven't spent much time with instagram (I have a real camera and use LR3 and CS5 when I want to do some photography) but is it normal for it degrade the quality so much?
After my pics were uploaded they looked they were shot with the front facing camera on my T-989 lol
I wonder if we all wrote them. Maybe they can help resolve the issues. Here's the link.

Haha its cool. I can always just use the stock browser as its all ill need and plenty fast. I just like the synced tabs from the pc to the tablet it offers. And I might as well ask you, do you think the cm10 builds for a100 are good enough as dd. I kept reading and I can't see any problems from others but do you notice a responsiveness difference from ics since this has project butter. I know i notice it in my infuse (running cm10 on it too).

CM10 Tablet UI is noticably faster, by far, I can't say if it benchmarks any higher then the "normal" CM10 does, but going from one to the other is a big difference in UI smoothness and responsiveness without any additional mods, IE normal kernel, build.prop etc, just Tablet UI forced. It's done in a dirty way as I haven't figured out the switchable UI yet, last I heard WDS was also working on a method for switching between Phablet and Tablet UIs, which should be alot cleaner then the way I found.
Either one is fine for a DD, I never had an issue on it that wasn't already known and posted.

Is anyone having jittery scrolling with their rom?I am running jedi and I didnt clean flash 6.1.1 and dont know if its causing this.
Every scrolling; menus, facebook, xda app, etc. Except stock browser is jerky. When you scroll it doesnt stop smoothly it jitters. Not too much but its definitely there and made me realize it.
I compared it to sgs2 running jellybean and everything is smooth there...
Anyone?
I have noticed the same thing since I installed jedi as well. I noticed it once jedi 6 and the same with 6.1.2

So should I try to clean install jedi again? I so dont wanna do that cuz after I flash roms I do so much tweaking it takes an hour or more to finish.
You have it as well but someone else said on jedi thread that after he clean installed its gone.
Did you clean install the 6.1.2? Or just flashed on top of previous one?
Running CleanRom 3.3 (Chose Perseus kernel when installed) and its silky smooth
Its killing me. I installed jedi 6.1.2 with perseus kernel still jerky. I am running clean rom 3.3 with perseus now and still not smooth. Tried note2core kernel still same. Installed stock 4.1.2 with perseus still laggy.
Only tome I felt less laggy was saber kernel with jedi. However saber only supports fat32. I have 64gb exfat.
This is insane. My old sgs2 with 4.1.2 is buttery smooth.
I cant seem to find the solution to this. This really made me hate this phone. Seems like frame rate is so low tgat it seems jerky when you scroll down or up on settings, facebook, tapatalk or other apps.
When you scroll slow or very fast there is no jerkiness. Its there when you scroll medium speed.
You scroll and it jerks seveal times very shortly until it stops. thats why it looks like frame rate is so low.
Enabled/disabled force 2d, nothing changes. Flashed maybe 10 times yesterday. I always wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset. Flash the rom and do wipe chache/dalvik and factory reset again then reboot.
I cant enjoy this phone anymore since I compared to sgs2 and know this is not normal.

Ohh I flashed clean rom and jedi so many times over and over again but ni change. However only jedi with saber kernel I was able get smooth setting menu scrolling but apps such as facebook, tapatalk, whats up isnt.
I compared tapatalk side by side with sgs2 running 4.1.2 and even though its not ios smooth its still smoother than note2.
Annoying thing is that nobody seems like aware of it. I cant believe you dont have the same jerkiness. Its just obviously a software issue and everybody running the same rom/roms should have it.

Can you explain then why stock browser is very smooth? and why saber kernel is with jedi makes the android menu scrolling smooth? If everything was bad yes maybe I would suspect something else, also I don't think a hardware can cause jerky scrolling when there are codes in android that can adjust scrolling.
I was using sgs2 for a year and flashed so many roms and kernels, there were huge differences in scrolling physics. Some updates were jerky, some smooth, some fast, some slow.
Everyone's perception is different. I wasn't even aware of it it took me 3 weeks to realize this jerky scrolling. For some of you, you might think this scrolling is smooth but for my standards its not acceptable because I know it can be modified and changed.
I own sgs1, sgs2 since their release dates and know pretty much what a firmware can do to your scrolling....

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?
im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .
If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.
Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.

I think i'll buy zerolemon battery and put higher settings on the kernel. But i really need the settings for color on perseus kernel and i don't know if any other kernel use it?
If you're on Stock Rom then there'll be lag, in xda, in Tapatalk, when scrolling in my files and almost everywhere else. But since I moved to Android Revolution HD, almost 50% of those lag things are gone. Now when I scroll through Tapatalk, or in Twitter, it's just smooth as hell. Well not iOS or WP smooth, but for Android it's more than enough. Honestly I've never believed or seen a droid phone could perform this fluidly.
I sounded like a custom Rom fan, but let me tell you, I actually hate them, and always preferred stock ROMs, but this ARHD is something.

I just tick force GPU rendering and disable hardware overlays in developers options and lags are gone on my stick rom. Shrugs.

That does work, but some apps...most noticeably the email app doesn't play nice with that setting.

Really? Because I recently have left both those ticked because I haven't had any other problems in other apps. Never had a problem with email app ever. I ticked both of those approximately two months ago and still haven't run into any color or cache scrolling problems. Heck it seems a couple of other apps lost the infamous xda lag. Cant believe xda app is still laggy.

Try this: Set it on, go into the email app and click into an email (not just inbox but an email) now scroll quickly. For me I always see distortion...I've tried many times with different roms / kernels but its always the same. Not a biggy though, I just use another email app now
Edit: Im talking about the email app not gmail app btw.
Lol. That is due to Mali's slower fill rate. And once you scroll through all of it, it doesn't do it anymore. Same in the browsers. You're less likely to see that on a power vr or adreno platform.

Ahh I see, though distortion is distortion, whatever the reason
It annoyed me anyway, so i changed email app. All good now.
I already have gpu rendering enabled. But i didn't try to disable overlays hardware gpu. I'll try thanks!

God I am so stupid! I fell for this, flashed back Stock ROM and enabled those options! Now after half an hour I am flashing back ARHD and restoring backup.
Thanks a lot for wasting my 30 mins and the rickshaw tour from my Ferrari.

It has nothing to do with gpu rendering. You can replicate it in many browsers with it with out GPU rendering ticked. It can minor or major issues but I just haven't run into any lately, so for now it stays permanently ticked til I come across something elsemucked up.

Hmmm, I only see it with Force GPU enabled.
Lags still here even if i activate 2 options on developers tools about gpu.
