I'm using the ROM below with the stock browser.
The issue is this, if I scroll to either the top or bottom, then double click, text resize does not occur. I have to double click twice for it to reflow/resize. This behavior only happens immediately after scrolling to either extreme (top or bottom), and does not happen in the middle of the page.
I would expect it to resize with a double click anywhere on the page. I don't see the significance of being at the extreme top or bottom.
I wouldn't mind switching browsers, but have yet to find one that does the reflow as well and as accurately as the stock one.

Try this stock aosp browser with green highlights. Not only will it resize/reflow properly, it is also quicker/smoother. Just use root explorer or the root option on ES file explorer to replace your existing browser in the system/app folder.
Thanks for the link.. Is there a thread that discusses this ?
Just updated to the above browser. Same issue.
I wonder if it's a bug in something else. I don't have time to try a fresh install/wipe right now, so i'm hopeful someone's experienced this issue before and figured out a fix. I wonder if it's somehow related to whatever state the system is in when scrolling to either extreme...

Download Opera Mini or Opera Mobile - both are by far the fastest browsers on the market (IMO) - it will also give you the ability to sync book marks and what not to your computer as well
Juss FYI
So, I'll try and describe the lag. Supposedly, the Jelly Bean animations are all 60fps. But on the homescreen, when you pull the notification bar, I'm sure you will notice a slight (but still noticeable, at least 30fps) decrease in the smoothness. If you pull the notification bar with an app open (you can easily try it yourself, with the Messaging app, or even the Settings), it will be very smooth.
Is there a way to fix this? By overclocking the processor, the memory, I don't know, something like that? Can I flash something to fix this? I've tried searching everywhere, and people actually complained about it in some ROMs' forums (ParanoidAndroid for instance), but no dev seems to do anything about it.
TL;DR: I've been experiencing a slight lag in the notification bar, in ALL the Jelly Bean ROMs I've tested. Am I doing anything wrong?

I experience the same thing on my HTC One X. The notification drawer is "choppy" and lags when you pull it down home screen, but in apps the notification drawer it is buttery smooth.
This happens on CM10 nightlies (20121006), IceColdJelly 2.4, and the Endeavoru AOSP rom.

I also had that in the CM10 but I am now using Maximus 4.1 and it is great on that ROM.
I have the same problem with my Galaxy SII on AOKP JB build 4. :crying:
No lag on sense based build smooth as butter.

it only lags on the launcher's home screen.. but in apps its very smooth.. anyway to fix it?
I think this might have to do with the background going darker, as you pull the bar down. If you have a solid color wallpaper and drag the bar down, it will lag much less than if you have a picture as wallpaper, and I think this might happen because, when the background goes darker, you can tell it creates some banding, and that may result in the lag.
Anyway, just my two cents.

That's Jelly Bean, the notification drawer is definitely annoying and strange somehow, if you choose a custom background for it you can see that when you pull down the bar the wallpaper seems to scroll down cleanly and @~60fps, and the bottom bar (the one which changes color when you touch it) seems to run at a different framerate.
Someone must fix it!
Try disabling the hw overlays in developer options if its available.

I've disabled hw overlays in developer options and it is still laggy. This lag is still present in 4.1.2 (running CM10 Nightly).
In Flow's video review of Ice Cold Jelly 3.0 - AOKP, you can also see the lag present when he pulls down notification in the homescreen.
So the current information we have is this:
- notification dropdown lags only in the launcher homescreen and app drawer
- the dropdown is very smooth in apps
- some JB roms on other devices also experience this (GNex and SII) as reported in this thread
- the sense JB rom for One X doesn't have this issue
Do have any devs acknowledging the lag? does any rom's issue tracker have this?
When CM10 reaches RC stage we can find an official bug report
Many people are reporting notification bar dropdown lag, in AOSP based ROMs, and that in Sense-based ones this doesn't occur.
I know there are many kinks and bugs that need to be fixed on all ROMs, and that no ROM is perfect. But seriously, this one really annoys me, it takes all the fun out of Jelly Bean.
There's no Jelly Bean without Butter, and with this lag, it just looks like we're back to the Gingerbread ages.
If anyone could please find/suggest a fix for this, I'd be so, so grateful.
As people have mentioned, the notification bar is buttery smooth when there's an app open, but unless:
- The app is showing a dialog
- The virtual keyboard is showing
I've noticed the above while debugging my app (DataSync), but so far it seems to be an issue on all apps. To replicate try the following:
Open settings
Verify the notification drawer is opening and closing without any lag at all.
Tap "Performance", notice a warning dialog shows
Pull down the notification bar, notice the drop in framerate compared to the last attempt
Close the dialog
Pull down the notification bar again, notice it's once again smooth.
The framerate drop is less noticable with the keyboard open, but still there.
Is there any fix for it? or still no one working on it? Sometimes it is really annoying too see it, i had this problem with my galaxy nexus long long time ago, but when i took him now in hand it seems to be rly smooth.
I can't see any difference in the behaviour of the notification drawer if opening it while navigating the app drawer or while standing by in an app, whatever it is, or even when I drop it down from the homescreen. It's always 40fpsish. I bet it's somehow related to transparency which is completely unneeded and I cant disable it.
My question is WHY a single-core iphone4 notification bar drops down at 1000fps and a quad-core android device should draw it at 40fps.
Someone said "Lol wtf you complain about cm10 is in early nightly stage" well no man now it's stable and completely full of bugs anyway.
I'm subscribed to this thread so I'll still wait for a fix....
For me? cm10 is always in early nightly stage. I changed my rom to rd miui ics becouse of battery. This room is pretty fast, looks good for me. jelly bean roms on galaxy nexus looks much better then ics becouse everywhere we have 60fps. if on onex jb roms i haven't always 60fps i don't need it. I will wait for stable version. jelly bean with standart or bricked kernel, 10h work with 2h display and i havent battery, here i have 16h and 3 h display and still 37%
I notice this a lot myself. Compared to my mother's iPhone 3GS running iOS 5 and my cousin's G2 (Desire Z) running AOKP ICS, the notification shade on my phone is really damn slow. I wonder if this was done intentionally by Google to keep a consistent speed for the shade.
I had this too. Specially at the bottom part of the pulldown menu. It stuttered like crazy. Seems to been gone when I switched from ondemand governor to interactive with input boost enabled.

As we all know that the 4.2.2 update made our phone as fast as the 4.1.2. But it has a bug, at least for Maguro (not happening on my N7). Do you ever get a laggy scrolling on homesceen, when entering app drawer and scrolling in recent apps? I believe everyone has it. But only few people notice it. I have tried all 4.2.2 ROMs. AOSPA, AOKP, PAC, etc and all of them has this bug (I have done a clean flashing). And I have tried all launchers, Nova, Apex, Holo, Action Launcher, Stock, but the lag is still back!
The (systemUI) lag has to do with rendering (static) wallpapers. This can be solved by:
1. Setting a live wallpaper
2. Temporarily, by pressing the app switcher button, rotating the screen and pressing the back button
3. Disabling system autorotate
4. Making the launcher (instead of systemUI) handle the rendering of wallpapers. In Nova launcher, use the 'force scrolling' option, in Trebuchet (CM) use the 'wallpaper quick render' option
5.. Using an app to set static wallpapers as if it were a live wallpaper
Also, emptying cache for all user and system apps using Titanium Backup seems to affect the issue positively. Please note that this might result in some settings being set to stock (like the keyboard, snooze duration and some other minor things).
Well, this is only for temporarily solution for those of you that getting sick of this bug. Waiting for the fix from Google.
Thanks to Butter Smooth for summarizing
Tiny Kernel and Crossbreeder Mod = No lag for me.

I've noticed the choppy transitions in 4.2.2. too and I'm glad I'm not the only one
Another finding is that changing the wallpaper makes the transitions smooth again. But the choppiness returns after a while. I'll try your tip tomorrow and report...

using xperia z live wallpaper with water ripple and it's free
I have notice this as well. Static wallpapers cause app drawer lag for me and when I use phase beam its lag free! Weird considering live wallpapers usually slow down the system..

To me 4.2.2 seems the most stable version so far, it's very much consistent, and scrolling in the recent apps menu gets laggy after I scroll a certain amount, and ofc when removing the process it lags, but this was present in 4.2.1 as well, i would have to say that as far as performance say, it's much more consistent than previous versions,
Static wallpaper or live, i see no difference

There's actually a lot of truth to the live wallpaper trick. Back on the Photon forums, we would use this technique to smoothen out the UI on our ICS and JB releases since we did not have a proper kernel and drivers, thus terrible onscreen performance. But this fix has existed since ICS! And it works!
Regarding the live wallpaper being smooth. It might have something to do with scrolling wallpapers too. How is everyone's feelings on a static, non scrollable wallpaper? Or is that what we are talking about?
I've had the choppyness too.
I am now using plasma beam and will report back. I also am going to try it on my nexus 10.
I'm telling you guys, try out the combo I posted in post 2. It really removes lag.

i use it like that(single homescreen no scroll)and i noticed the same lagging issue after a while
but i think it has to do with how you set the wallpaper, when i used zedge or image2wallpaper to set them the issue stated on the OP appeared
but if i use the stock gallery to set them and the problem is mostly gone
something else ive noticed is that the status bar lag only happens when on the launcher screen, open any app and pull the SB and its smooth, go back to the homescreen and pull it,its choppy
EDIT
still happens even after using the stock gallery

Using plasma live wallpaper. So far so good.

I've noticed the same problem with 4.2.2 ever since it came out. I usually use Phase Beam so I never noticed it. Only when I switched to a static wallpaper (one of the stock ones) for a day did I notice that the transitions into and out of app drawer and scrolling through home screens gets choppy. I never did find a way to reproduce it reliably, but I do know that if you use it long enough it will start to happen.
Immediately fixes itself by setting to any Live Wallpaper as OP had suggested.
Problem only started to occur with 4.2.2. Never had it happen in 4.2.1 or 4.1.x.

Then try to swipe on lockscreen between widgets if you have some. You will notice that the lag is still there, but atleast its a better deal to have it on lockscreen then on homescreen.

I don't know man. I'm either lucky or just not as picky but I don't even notice lag there. I have a few screens of widgets on my lock screen too.
Set a static wallpaper, go back to home screen or lock your device. Then, swipe down the notification bar and notice how choppy it appears.
Now, go inside an application, like Calculator - swipe down the notification bar and notice how smooth it is.

edited op. i had lag on 4.2.2 with the stock launcher but once i installed nova and changed all the animation speeds everything changed to bullet speed.
Thanks for the video.
No offense but I don't think we're talking about the same sort of "lag". The one we're talking about is a system bug that came with 4.2.2. causes frame rates slowdown when scrolling between homescreens, lockscreens and in recents. When it appears you can even notice it while switching between the tabs in notification pulldown (gets really choppy). Problem appears randomly, sometimes after couple of hours, sometimes after a day or two. It cannot be eliminated by simple launcher change and turning animations off.
Turning animations off makes scrolling look faster indeed but it kills fluidity on the other hand which I really really don't like.

Rebooting, changing wallpaper, rotating screen (under recents) are known workarounds to temporarily get rid of this lag. Probability to reproduce the issue is lower when you did one/ some of them.
Workarounds aren't a fix for the sluggishness - it's still a workaround. And nothing is a workaround for worse RAM management compared to 4.1.2.
Hmm try opening a couple of tabs in browser (5+) and open the tab switcher and scroll. If you see lag, well done. If you don't, the flash 4.1 to see real butter. I can go on and on but the browser is the most apparent lag. Battery life too. Do not suggest me to flash custom kernels, been there done that. 4.2 is just a laggy mess all over. I've wiped, flash factory images, try out many roms even the rom OP is using. But none are as fast as good old 4.1

Hello everyone, I'm using Chrome as my main browser and there's something bugging me about its full screen behavior. Every once in a blue moon it goes totally full screen, hiding the Android bar at the top of the screen and I prefer this better. It makes use of the huge screen of the Note II. But then for most of the time it only hides is own address bar when scrolling down on a page and that's it. The Android status bar stays there and it's not total full screen. I've looked into the settings thoroughly but couldn't come up with a solution.
If you know what's going on please enlighten me. Thank you very much.

Chrome has gesture base feature for hiding action bar or address bar.
It is in built action and even no option for that in setting.
If you scroll down, action bar will be hide. If you scroll up, action bar will be visible.

If action bar is the bar with battery info and time and etc. It doesn't react to scrolling. Today I accidentally hid that bar and for a good couple of hours it didn't appear again no matter if I scrolled or tilted the phone. Now it came back. My Note II is as stock as it can be and I have no other issues with it. I'm confused now. Thank you for taking your time.
So you are talking about status bar. No chrome haven't provision for full screen without status bar.
But Samsung inbuilt stock browser having provision for full screen in settings. Check it out. May be you have observed in that browse.

I'm using Chrome. So what I'm experiencing must be some sort of a bug. Very very seldom this happens and I get a total full screen. I wish I could choose to have it that way all the time.
Thank you very much.
Adding pics. Maybe some of you also experience this?
I also have the Note ll and the same thing happens to me sometimes. I, unlike you, find this annoying and even though I don't know what causes it, restarting the app resets the bug. In case anyone wanted to know how to fix it.
If you have xposed installer ,using app settings app,you can use full screen to any app.
