Since recently im starting to notice visible ghosting, or trailing if you will, on my screen while slowly scrolling through text on websites... is this normal?
Whenever I browse forums and such while zoomed in, I can clearly see text trailing or ghosting while scrolling slowly (I can even notice it writing this). Text just clearly leaves a trail like its not refreshing fast enough. I have mostly tried this in Chrome but also apps like IMDB and so have it. Is this normal behaviour? It seems very weird for such an high-tech screen since my old iPhone 4 doesnt show this whatsoever.
Do you guys notice this as well? Its bothering me a bit actually..

Sorry for the late reply mate, been a very busy week, try flashing a different custom rom like Wannam (I am currently using this rom) or go back to stock, do a nandroid back up, flash the new rom or the stock rom, and see if the issue persists, if it does then you can make sure its not the rom, and you can either restore the back up or keep it at stock and RMA the handset, keep us posted

Thank you!!!
The guy is trying to stimulate discussion on a hot subject. Stop posting links to 2months old and irrelevant (its not the the same update...). Besides, he didnt ask for a changelog... as far as i know..
Personally, the camera is a huge improvement in many ways, browser query delay is faster (definitely, not placebo). I cant say the device is "snappier" since it was already pretty much instant. Also, i used to have a kind of lag while typing text in browser (such as this post), that is also gone now. I did experience a few app crashes though, but i am certajn that its because the custom rom needs work (B29 aokp).
Edit: also, the android OS battery using is significantly less. Of course sampke is smalll but it went from 25% to 4-5%

Honestly, even though it is a 2 month old thread. I read a few bullets on the OP post and most of those changes are relatively accurate on the OTA update released yesterday.
So I don't see what your point is? Even the points you made about 4.0.4 is listed,
Noticeably Faster
Browser performance noticeably improved

my point is relatively clear. It is old and this is a new update, you dont know how accurate it is. Besides, his post was more oriented towards a discussion than "please post change logs!!!!!". If you dont like those kind of discussions, fine, but i think its appropriate instead of being an ass about a new thread.
I find nothing wrong with this thread. Who knows what else Google coulda added to 4.0.4 for GSM over the leaked 4.0.4 for CDMA.
Not only are the phones different which can affect things such as reception and radios, but this is much newer and could have additional improvements. No point attaching GSM stuff to an already quite long CDMA change log thread as no one is going to see it.
-Picture quality is definitely improved; likely related to better operation
-Dialer is slightly bigger (?); layout a little different, e.g. settings button at bottom of dialer
-Haven't noted a difference in rotation,
-Backing out of some apps is faster, Play for instance, hit back-back-back and there is no lag migrating back and out of the app,
-The majority of my other observations are likely placebo (i.e. smoother, etc...)
Did google double the storage? Haha.

It actually is very accurate. Yes there are some new changes but not many. A lot of the most obvious changes have been pointed out in OP and we can quickly recognize them as we use 4.0.4.
That thread could of been continued on since OP actually had a lot of the points down. Many of the points that people are posting in this thread have been already made in that thread listing changes from a "leaked" build. The same bootloader from that leak made it into the OTA.

After 1 or 2 battery pulls that behavior went away for me.
First off, thought I'd let you know I updated with the CWM method. I was 100% stock but unlocked bootloader. Worked fine took 2min to do. One small quip was after my first reboot, I didn't have cellular network connection. Took 2-3 more reboots and lots of toggling to make it work. Now its working just fine.
Here's what I've observed:
1) Power menu sound toggles are nice (50x better if mute actually meant full system mute)
2) Screen shot sound changed to the same as the camera shutter sound
3) Feels snappy!
4) Color fade and transitions (like in menus) are now smooth instead of jittery.
5) Multitasking button has less lag. Definitely not perfect still though.
6) GTalk icon updated to look like Messaging and Google Voice.
7) When you turn the screen on, it fades in a much more pronounced way (imo).
8) Auto-rotate is fast and smooth, although I never found it particularly sluggish before.
9) Other, likely "placebo", effects of smoothness, etc.

like i said in the title, when i change the screen in the sense the image not panning in real time, only change quick when the screen i choose is changed 100%, is normal or i can change this?
In the One V, it changes in real time, when i swap with the finger to the left or right the image go with the finger in the same speed i want to change the screen.
mine goes in real time. using viper1.0.1
mine still stock rom... i just ask if that issue is normal in One X, because a cheaper like One V work right...

YES! This is a known bug and normal. It is know as Live Wallpaper bug, it does happen in SENSE Roms, specially using SENSE launcher.
I never use live wallpaper anyway, so I don't care, but it is anoying for those who use it.
For those who says, no it's not normal, using a Custom ROM, it doesn't help the OP.

Hi everybody,
I have an annoying problem using roms based on Android 4.1.2 . I've tried codefireX and Jellytime. The same behavior has been noticed on both roms : there are main vertical thin stripes on the screen, falling from top to bottom, as if pixels were streaming. Most of stripes are visible on left and right parts of the screen, almost not in the middle. When I take a screenshot, problem is absolutely invisible. It can only be viewed on the touch screen directly.
When I tap on the sides of the phone, I have the impression that the stripes are lightly blinking or sparkling.
When I rotate the phone, stripes are not rotating. They still are going from the true top of the phone to the bottom.
And finaly, when I reinstall another rom, based on Android 4.0.4 (with or without Sense, suchas IceColdSandwich or ViperDHD), the stripes disappear.
Does anyone know anything about that ? or even heared something like that ?
Thanx a lot in advance,
Tom.

Yes i have noticed that too. It seems to be a kernel issue not compatible with the phone. Forinstance if you flash lets say any 3.0.xx kernel onto icecoldICS rom you will get the lines just as in JB rom. Read that someone is trying to fix it so just keep your fingers x:crying:

You are not alone. In JellyTime's issue tracker there is an open issue. Until now nothing changed. And with the new 4.2 release I wonder if JellyTime will get any stable updates in the near future. But that's the only place I found where the bug is reported. Is there an official codefireX bugtracker?

Even with HW overlays of u will still get the line. Even 4.2 has vertical lines bug! As said before its a bug which was introduced aftre 3.1 realise thus after 16th August. If u flash an older rom lets say rom builds before the 16th of August the bug is not present. I strongly doubt if the bug will b fixed cause it seems to afect only a few users and am one of them. I wander why RB pr synergy dont want to fix it
I know synergye was working on it and asking for logcats. I don't think he doesn't want to fix it. He might just not know how, since his device doesn't have the bug, and needs more info (like logcats).

How do i produce the logcats and where fo i post them? And if am correct there should be a logcat about this on issues tracker. Its sad that we aren't able to enjoy these good roms cause of this bug. Really wish someone looks at it soon
I only just recently got my Note II and it has got ARHD on it, which I installed because it's a rom based on samsung software with no comptability issues and great battery life.
I also have a Galaxy Nexus and I noticed a few "problems" the Note 2 has and the older Nexus doesn't:
the browser on the Note 2 looks okay but the pointer precision is just very bad. To give an example: if you swipe your finger up or down vertically for a few centimeters, and then you start sliding diagonally (without having lifted off your finger off the screen in the meanwhile), it will only continue to keep scrolling vertically, it won't "follow" your left or right (or diagonal) movement. When you lift off your finger from the screen, retouch it and then scroll diagonal right away it will follow the movement. I find this very annoying, it prevents me of having a smooth browsing experience. My older Nexus with stock android 4.2.2 and stock browser is smooth as butter and follows my swiping movements 1 to 1..
I tested Dolphin browser, Maxthon.. all still bad pointer precision.. Chrome seems to be the least bad of all the browsers, but then on the other hand I find it very choppy.
PS. I already tried an AOSP/CM rom (Sentinel ROM), and there the browser was smooth, yet, non-touchwiz roms are not bugfree and the battery life is nowhere as good as with a samsung based rom.. And especially that last factor is really important to me. (Unless anyone can advise me a bugfree AOSP rom with batterylife that is as good as a samsung based rom).
SOLVED, SOLUTION IN POST #15
Then something else that annoys me quite a bit: when the screen is off and I press the wakebutton, it takes like 1 to 2 seconds until it actually wakes.. I've read I'm not the only one with this problem but I find it kind of unacceptable for a quad core phone with 2GB of ram.. Same problem when you are in an application and you press the homebutton to go to the homescreen, it sometimes takes like a second or more too.. Once again, stuff like that on my simple dual core nexus with half the amount of ram doesn't happen.
UNDERLINED PART SOLVED, SOLUTION IN POST #3 (thanks Kremata)
Then the good stuff has to be said too: homescreen-scrolling is insanely smooth, watching videos is awesome, the camera is great (so is the samsung camera app) and not to forget, the battery life is a revelation to me, I get through the day easily with hardcore use of the phone (that cannot be said of my old Nexus..).
I really like the Note II, but these few problems really crash the party for me.. Also I never thought I'd say it as a Nexus-fan but I generally find Touchwiz pretty cool and suiting on the Note 2.. So I'd prefer to stay on a samsung based rom like ARHD if possible.
Hope there's some experts here who can give me advise on how to handle these little problems.
For the record, I managed installing the AOSP browser, and the bug is still there. So it must be rom/kernel related, not app-related..
The HOME button problem is not a bug. It is because you have set your S-voice to open by double pressing the Home button. So the lag comes from TW waiting for a second press before doing anything.
Just uncheck "Open via the Home Key" in S-voice setting.
For the browser thing I don't know. I never felt it was a problem for me.

One problem solved already, thanks for that!
I placed a video of the pointing precision problem on youtube. Btw I checked if the touchscreen is ok by using "show touches", and it followed my touches 100% perfectly, so it's not the phone, it's definitely some software problem..
This is the video
Could anyone with a samsung-based rom try to reproduce the above problem and see if it happens or not ? If not, could you tell me what rom + kernel you are using, would be much appreciated..
I repeat that when I tried an AOSP rom on my Note II, this issue did not happen.
I'm on DLL4 and before this was on 4.1.1 and do not have this issue.

I have the exact same thing on my phone (ARHDv18). A work around is to start with a diagonal instead of a vertical line then it works fine

Yes I know.. but it's very annoying.. Since years I used stock android/AOSP, now I went to the dark side P) to use a TW device, so this "problem" kind of annoys me.. I wonder if one of our awesome developers would be able to make a samsung based TW rom with an AOSP-like smooth browsing experience..

Now my Note 2 is "perfect"
I had a Note 8 for a short time which had this issue but ive noticed it on my gpad 8.3 v500 when its in landscape.
The issue is when im scrolling the screen one side lags behind the other if you do it quickly enough...so if i do it Up and down it gives a wobble effect. Noticable in netflix too.
Has anyone had this? Im hoping its a jellybean issue as i said my note 8 was the same.
Not a deal breaker but it does bug me.

Have you installed any background-running apps that may cause this problem? I don't know what can cause screen stuttering like you have. Have you thought about installing CM? It works great and is 1000 times faster than stock

Also im sure ive read 4.4 ota is coming soon , so i was going to hang on for it....
Is there a guide out of interest?
There are only guides for root and recovery, CM is only wiping and flashing. I will post links when I get home (although I'm pretty sure you can find them yourself in the All things guide thread, I recommend TWRP)
The OTA 4.4 update is very far away, march at least (I have my sources)

Try enabling the developer options (you dont need root and a howto can be found on google) and turn off all the transitions and see if your lag goes away.
Just giving this a bump
LBJM i hadnt seen your reply , so i will give it a try when i get home..
I flashed CM11 onto my Gpad but i didnt like it ( personal preference) ive now got the latest Mahdi Rom which is very much like the Nexus5 that i was wanting.
but still i get this lag in Lanscape mode when im scrolling up and down....one side lags to give a wobble effect.

In all apps or only in some? I see a stutter in certain apps that do not cache things far enough ahead (i.e. twitter) when I have the client configured to show the twitpics. However once I know everything is loaded I can scroll up and down without any stuttering problem. Some browsers also have this problem since they also only seem to load in memory the stuff that is rendered on the screen...
Based on what you describe I'm not certain that your wobble and my stutter are the same thing though...

Ive just gone back to Stock LG for the KitKat update and i still get the scrolling wobble effect in landscape.
