Games laggier on 4.0.4

am i the only one experiencing more lag and slowdowns in gaming after the update?
not sure if it's a kernel or rom problem.

Dito.

some stuff are messed up, maybe they are related due to the compatibility.

I get a bit of lag on fruit ninja paid

No issues with Angry birds space or Wind up Knight, haven't tried any others yet.

no lag here, what games? its most likely app compatibility.

I don't really play much and OPs claim is very vague but I quickly installed Temple Run and it runs flawless. Also the not very demanding games like Cut the Rope and Where is my water run without problems so far. I recently bought Shadowgun for my Tablet. Maybe I'll try that later but I have no comparison to 4.0.2/3 with this game.

I used to play temple run on my 4.0.3 very smoothly without any lag. But after upgrading to 4.0.4 bugless beast it has become very choppy and almost unplayable when there are many coins.

actually. what kernel is OP using? are you using a OC'D GPU kernel? switch back to a kernel with stock GPU (384mhz)
i have NO lag on temple run.

Stock GPU is 307mhz.
That said, there is no lag here either.

I am using stock kernel. It lags when running over the red coins or using power ups at high speed. What CPU governor are u using?

About the smoothness in Jelly Bean ...

I do find scrolling in such is smoother than previous versions of Android, but the micro lag is STILL here. I don't understand how people say its butterysmooth when its not even near the smoothness level of WP and iOS.
Jelly Bean is smooth in apps like the stock contacts list, call app etc, but web browsing is still a bit choppy, YouTube app is just as laggy, the same with Google plus.
I start to wonder if Android will ever loose this laggyness.

Cyanogen should help towards that once the source out. Cm9 is so much smoother than stock 4.04.
As far as iOS goes a lot of apps have that same stutter lag. The Facebook app is horrible on my moms work iPad 3.

I agree there is a small micro lag sometimes, but it is pretty much a non-issue, so I don't worry about it.

Typical Android fan comment. iOS is much another than Android and it's disappointing. I'd rather accept it and demand improvement than deny it and live with the lag...

You're grading your experience on a OS that's not even fully released yet. Smh.

I only get the lag in apps. XDA app is one. Facebook isn't.

Its not the iPad with the lag, its just the new facebook updates, I've noticed facebook get even more laggier than before.
I don't seem to notice the lag compared to ICS it's like... I dno... Buttery smooth?

What's this fixation with smoothness? Yeah iOS has "smooth" scrolling, but so what? You can't do even half the stuff we can do with Android.
Yeah you know what, the Mini runs buttery smooth, but it will never be a Ferrari. Bam!

Make sure you are using the interactive govenor if you have s modded kernel. Other governors will not give you the proper experience.

On my Galaxy nexus "Jelly Bean" is not lag on YouTube, browser and on Google+, I don't even use google +, just tested once and it's not laggy..
Dolphin browser HD and Chrome is much slower than stock browser on my Gnex..
sometimes when I open the Google/google now app it's lags a little bit when I have some opther apps opened, but not any other lag..

Exactly. I can agree with you there and even had the 4S.

Today I learned that there are Apple fanboys lurking and commenting on this forum.

I came from the iPhone 4S and although its very smooth, it still stutters / hesitates from time to time when performing certain actions, just like Jellybean. And dont get me started on the facebook app... iOS version is much more stuttery than Android version (GPU accelerated of course)
I came from the iPhone 4S and I consider that each has its advantages, but now that i own a Gnex with JB, general lag is not one of them on either side. Just as pleasing in my experience

This thread reminds me of my youth. "mom, I got 98 in my exam" "why didn't you get 100? If other kids can, why can't you?". ****ing annoying.
That said, i do get a hint of lag scrolling through the widgets in the app drawer. And that's about it.
I'm using bixsie v2 with franco 217 - 512gpu, 384-1342 with interactive governor.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus.

The "iOS is laggy too" argument from android fans is logically flawed.
iOS isn't 100% smooth, but it's certainly smoother than JB.
The main issue is not JB itself (on newer android devices like Nexus 7, JB and gapps are ALMOST as smooth as iOS on iPad3/iPhone4s), but it's old third party apps that don't utilize the latest improvements in ICS and JB (like gpu rendering) properly.
Because iOS has had good gpu rendering for 3rd party apps since its beginning, laggy iOS apps are a lot less common.

I have no lag whatsoever. Not once have I scoffed or rolled my eyes at my phone after flashing bigxie's JB. Not sure what JB version you're running but maybe a complete/thorough wipe will help? Any apps hogging resources?
Edit: Is it just me or does it seem like data issues could be confused for "lag"?

Yup believe it...ios stutters just like android...only thing is android actually performs many more tasks than ios does...a shame really....all this time android has been focusing on real multitasking.....and alot of bling in animations and transitions.....after all tjis time it still outperforms ios...and JB is the first time in awhile that there has been software optimizations

I've tried a ton of games on my GN2 and I haven't run into a single game that hasn't been smooth. Everything has been great. Whoever said that is crazy.

Max Payne and GTA3 running without even breaking a sweat here.

Same thing here....the phone rocks man....i havent seen a game that runs slow...maybe it does in power saving mode...but normally you would love the big screen

You might wanna check which forums you were researching on where people were saying that....you might have been on an iPhone forum

Everything runs super smooth here

Nova launcher, as well as Apex launcher, both showing significant visual artifacts when scrolling. Makes them unusable for me So I have to use the stock launcher which is really not pleasant... Anyone has any hints on how to improve Nova's behavior?
The latest Opera browser on Note 2 is also much jerkier compared to Galaxy S3, I have both phones and can compare.

Tried playing wildblood nba 2k13 shadowgun (for quad core) no lag at all.

Strangly, Stick Cricket lags a lot on my note2, but heavier games run smooth..

I beg to differ, no problems at all here

lol Does this guy know what thread he is talking about? Nova 3 is a game, launcher guy. omg
btw, my note 2 is running CM 10.1.3 and games run great!

Maybe you should mention the games they're playing, because, well, to be honest, I'm not a big gamer, but I do play a little and I have had 0 lag and stutter. Great device for gaming! Let Apple have a better GPU but on a 4" POS screen ... Next will be the iMagnifyingGlass!
Huge screen, and awesome performance. Totally recommended.

NFS Most Wanted - Stuttering Framerates

I've bought and downloaded NFS Most Wanted from the Play Store on my Nexus 7, however, I have noticed that it stutters and the framerate drops quite considerably at some points.
Just by looking at the clock in the corner I can see that it is not running as fast as it should?
I am running AOKP Build-5 at the moment, with the AOKP Kernel, going to put on Franco.Kernel and see if that makes any difference?
Anyone else seeing anything like this?

I saw that many people talknig the same ..but i have no problem..PA rom with PA kernel 25-35 FPS.

This is only when you are nearing to roadblock, just slowing time to have easier to avoid the block. But it feels like a lag.

Because its populating the screen with more active police cars. That is what is causing the slow down. Its too many things for one core to handle which is why it lags.

Not if the game doesn't see it...
That is where optimization comes in most games are not ready for quad core chips. This is a prime example. Otherwise it wouldn't hesitate and would be be running smooth.

Surely there's a simple way to activate all 4 cores in the game? Maybe just one value in some game script somewhere?

HELP slow and laggy phone!

Recently my phone had been very laggy and the cpu has been heating up during very easy tasks such as browsing the web or playing a game like angry birds, sometimes to the point where the phone would shut down. Many processes are slow such as opening apps or using the internet and sometimes even scrolling through my home screens can be glitchy. I am currently running Jedi mind trick JB 5 and sometimes I overclock the CPU. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix this problem?

Personally I like aosp better....but.....too many glitches and issues popping up all the time, so I usually run 4.1.2 roms based off stock, but with extra goodies. I don't change kernels anymore for the same reasons. Guess I prefer stable over performance and extra settings.

Honestly I just don't like the ui, there are generally more bugs in asop, as its usually based off the newest leaks, like all nexus devices, there more open to bug because Google updates them superfast, as far as bloat and things in twiz, that's an easy fix, I think if u take two roms one twiz one asop, debloat both, and run them side by side the only real difference is the ui, twiz may be a tiny bit slower, but I can live with that, plus I'm a Sammy guy, won't buy any other device lol, there are some asop roms I like though, both are amazing, and far ahead of iOS and sense, all cones down to preference I guess
