I have a fix for the lagginess in builds from the past week and a half or so. The culprit is the surface flinger library. It is the android compositing system and some changes recently made to it are responsible for the significant lag in recent builds. Most noticeable spot is if you hit the home button if you have the notification drawer down. It becomes extremely laggy without this patch. Scrolling is also less smooth whenever multiple things on the screen are being drawn. This fixes all those issues.
Just flash this in cwm or whatever recovery you choose. Should work on all cm10 builds and cm10 based roms like paranoid android.
Merged into cyanogemod on September 19th

Yup. Shouldn't need a wipe. You can wipe cache though if you want though.

Thanks for this! The lag was literally the only thing that kept me going back to JellyBelly. I love me some CM!
Thought this might be another placebo thing but damn, this really works! The usual spots of minor lag like scrolling the app lists in the play store, gmail, play music are now smooth as eggs.
Good job, man.

You can try. I think they're cm10 based. Files also only like 190kb BTW. This actually should work on any device as well.

K so when I fist got my gnex I could use it with my Bluetooth speakers from a far range I could be like two rooms away and could still here it fine and it would be smooth. That was stock. Now that I'm rooted and running aokp it is horrible. I can't be more than 4 or 5 feet from the speakers without it cutting in and out and being really unusable.... would this be the rom (aokp M5) or the kernel (latest Franco nightly)?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Could be either, especially if AOKP is using the wrong bcmdhd.cal for the device.

You answered your own question. Go back to stock if you need things to work properly. Custom roms are experimental at best, since they introduce all kinds of problems, including app incompatibility, hardware instability and broken features (like voicemail notifications not working).
Good luck.

Are you sure the APN settings are correct?
By the way, the AOKP releases (not milestones) are considered nightlies, not betas.
Yes they are it happens a few its not the msg not sending its the text is not entering its nothing to do apns.

Incorrect. The B in say B39 means build, not beta. All AOKP releases so far except the Milestones are considered and treated as nightly builds.
Check this link, and scroll down a bit: http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/build-38-r24
Remember: builds are considered "nightlies"!

Regarding your issue: I have had it before, but I cannot remember what ROM I ran and how I fixed the issue, I'm afraid.
The only way to fix it is to disable the lock screen. I've tried sending messages to some of the developers but apparently they just don't care about the issue. But with all the badass features of AOKP I deal with the issue
Happens on AOKP, doesn't happen on CM9 or Gummy.

This happens when you let the phone lock while you are in a specific message thread. Just don't do this and you won't have the issue.

I'm not saying it shouldn't, but that is the workaround.
I'm pretty sure this issue has been addressed several times. A simple google search would have pulled up thread after thread of the same thing. Seems to be more than just on AOKP. I for one ran into this problem running stock. Seems to be a case by case situation. Most likely an android bug that has yet to be squashed.

I love you. Does anyone in CM know about this issue? So that they can correct it?
For any fellow LMT users: This also seems to have drastically decreased the lag you get with your pie buttons (more specifically, the back button). I think Paranoid fans will dig it. I do!
Wow, I've been messing with every setting possible to fix the drawer from lagging the way it did knowing everything else was butter smooth. You have de-stressed me :'). Awesome Fix!
Just tried, figured what could go wrong. Great find instant notice improvement. This needs to be shared.

I just read that entire thread as well as watched a posted video comparison on it. My verdict from all of that is this doesn't do much and ART fully trumps it as far as performance boost. That is my conclusion on it for the Nexus 5. I would imagine it does nothing on the Galaxy Nexus seeing as we have a completely different chipset.
Not trying to be discouraging, by all means if someone wants to do a thorough testing of this mod and give some feedback on the contrary I will absolutely eat my words, but from all that has been spoken about the mod on that thread It looks like ART is still the better choice.
Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention though, it's always good to have different options.
