Getting sluggish. Time for a new ROM?

Isn't it a good time to experiment with a new ROM when your phone starts slowing down, freezing, & occasionally misbehaving? Which is the most stable ROM in anyone's humble opinions? Thanks

I recommend DW for stability and especially battery life, but definitely try out slickmod if you are looking for topnotch UI performance

Dude roms dont get sluggish after time....it is what the user does. U make it sound like a car that your putting a lot of miles on then when it has to many miles u buy new car. Lol not like that it is definitely user related, why dont u go into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache maybe that might help

I'm running beastMod, haven't had a single issue with it.

Just use a launcher like ADW and your device will run smooth. Touchwiz is stable but Samsung put a half bake job on optimizing Touchwiz and Snapdragon CPU. If its slow check what apps are running when its slow sometimes too many widgets can easily drain battery and slow down your device.

I have ADW, my favorite. I do have a lot of widgets though. Maybe i'm just looking for an excuse to look for another, possibly better ROM.

I think its just your apps thats slowing the phone down. Im using juggernaut 5.0 no problems at all great battery life.

What is "Malice" and "streamline"? Turns out my ADW was acting up I noticed after I reset it.

Awesome! I have been using your kernel's on my Atrix for over a year...happy to see you working with the Galaxy III.

Nice. Hopefully this will cut down on all the "where faux kernel at???" posts.

i was using ur kernel for a bit got an 8000 on antutu but my battety was just dying fast got to 70% in an hour with screen off.....did i do something wrong it was 005 version i was using.

So glad to see you here Faux Can't wait for your amazing dev!

Just flashed it on my ATT SIII running AOKP by Task650 & ktoonsez.
Seems to work fine.
Took a couple reboots before sleep was working but that is common IMO, with custom kernel flashing.
Got a few extra points on worthless AnTuTu scores.
MTE is working.
Thanks!

hey what did u do yo make it work okay.I flashed and rebooted a few imes but frequency doesnt go over 1.1Ghz even though i have it set to 1.8.Also i have ondemand/cfq but nothing i do helps bring the frequency higher.
I checked system tunner and its a 1.8 and also force all cpu online.Im pretty much out of ideas to try

Thanks mate, I have posted this in the AT&T Directory

Thanks for the awesome kernel. Working flawlessly on ktoonsez & task's AOKP ROM. this is so much better than stock!!
via my Samsung Galaxy S III

So far so good. Went from 6000 on antutu to 7000-7100 on benchmark for what its worth. Keep up the good work!

hey im running this on my phone with cm9 and the battery life is incredible. my gfs phone is running the same cm9 build but when i try to flash the kernel its stuck on reboot, anyone else get stuck on a reboot and able to fix it? wiped cache and davlick cache

Did you make a nandroid backup? Hopefully you did. Just boot into recovery restore the backup and try again.

i tried about 4 times, is there another way to flash that the phone might be more accepting of, maybe the sgs flasher app?

What version of cwm? Could have an older version, maybe?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

just flashed the newest version 5.8.4.7

flashed the kernel about two hours ago and battery life is just as good as i v005 not noticing anything different but its better than havin issues,where couod i find release notes for this new version....anyone have any suggestions please point me in the right direction thanks in advance.

Is something driving up your CPU usage? The fastest way to check that might be to see what's draining your phone's battery using the usual methods.

I had same problem. For me the fix was getting LeanKernel 2.0.
4 hrs screen on time! Its the best for my phone. Since all kernels are device specific it might not be best for you.
To get it go to T-Mobile gs3 go to original dev and download lean kernel 2.0. Make sure its 2.0.
T-Mobile and AT&T work the same. If you use one of the other 4.2 ROMs on here I think Liquid smooth it comes with Lean kernel pre installed.

I would suggest to update to his latest version. It no longer RC.

If that kernel doesnt work for you, you can always try Ktoonsez kernel here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
But for me personally, his kernel and the stock kernel that comes with Task's ROM always make my phone hot and battery drains faster. But many people report those kernels work great for them.

Keep checking your processor settings, on my phone, it kept over clocking and under clocking randomly. Even without me touching the settings. Or get a widget to help you keep an eye on your ghz.

No no. Like it would randomly change the setting to 1.9/1.8 ghz max. Sometimes it would set the max to 1.1 ghz. I donno, it was weird. Maybe that's your problem, maybe not. Every phone is different.

The same thing happens to me. It's not really hot, it's just kind of warm. It only happens when I'm using the phone, when it's locked it sleeps just fine and keeps cool. Otherwise it heats up and drains my battery in the process. CPU Spy shows my clock speed switches between 384Mhz and 1.5 Ghz depending on what I'm doing. My CPU usage isn't consistently high, even if its at 10% it still does it, seems quite normal. I can turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and location services, doesn't help at all. I've tried resetting my battery stats, where I charged to 100%, cleared stats, depleted fully, then charged too 100% fully. No different. The heat comes from the bottom of the phone, maybe closer to the right side about an inch from the bottom, it is not coming from the battery. My battery usage shows high usage on the Media process or the Android System process. Ending either of them does not help, so I'm assuming they aren't actually using the battery like it says they are.
I'm running Liquid Smooth 4.2 beta 2, same as OP, with leankernel 2.2. It does the same thing with KT kernel, I've tried undervolting but it persists. I've also had this issue running slimbean, Liquidsmooth RC8, and RC9. My battery was pretty good when I used to run stock, and it was absolutely amazing when I ran LiquidSmooth RC3 and RC5.

Frame rate / performance issues with all ROMS

I have tried both jedi xp-8 and cleanrom 4.0.5 and also clean room with Perseus kernel and no matter what, I keep having performance issues that are most noticeable in gaming and benchmarking. No matter what, my phone is limited to around 40fps or 14000 in antutu. Even overclocking to 1800 it does not do any better.
Update: occasionally when I first restart the phone I will have normal performance but then it goes away.

I317m - Rogers note 2
Clean flash using TWRP
Currently on cleanrom with Perseus kernel
Thoughts?

I actually have the same problem. I even went back to stock and reflashed the rogers modem but I'm getting LTE maxing out at 8mbps and wifi (which is at 60mbps on my laptop through wifi) and my benchmark is at 14000 on antutu at 40 fps. Kind of regretting flashing right now.

Give it a few days and see if it stays that way. It always seemed fine but would always go back. I'm just on the newest Perseus and not having framerate issues but we will see.

I'm going to try doing a full brand new flash of Jedi XP-9 and not installing any apps on to my phone to see whether or not I have the issue on a fresh flashed ROM

I noticed this issue last night while watching a high FPS movie on my note. But the FPS counter didn't slow down until i hit 15% battery with the screen at full brightness which is what I always keep it at. Other than that I get really good FPS performance.

It appears as though something had gone wrong with every flash I had done. It was retaining bits of old kernels and messing things up. Started all over again and now back on jedi, and it's all working fine.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I don't mean to egg you on as I know this causes trouble (and has in other threads) but just be aware that you're not the only one. It decreased my benchmarks at default levels too. If you want to increase performance you need to raise your frequencies on CPU and/or GPU, depending on what you're trying to improve. You can undervolt, which is a nice offset to decrease power consumption.

Uh oh, did your e-penis shrink? Lol. As stated many times, benchmarks don't correlate with real life performance.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I dont have an e-penis, I have a real penis, lol. And I understand that you cant use benchmarks to decide which phone is physically better, but when the scores are different on the same exact hardware with only a kernel change, it does represent a difference in actual performance... fyi just my input. Mean no offense. Anyways... I have another question. When I flash non stock-based roms, They dont seem to boot! Is there a bootloader I need to unlock on this device?
