So my friend and I were comparing our phones he has an iPhone, and my phone would do everything faster his phone just did everything smoother, mostly we checked how games ran, his phone in game options ex: scrolling through options and upgrades was way more smooth and responsive while mine had hiccups, gameplay was the same though, but I'm curious why the iPhone is smoother scrolling even outside of its ui into games while my Hercules beats it in specs?

Its not only hardware that determines how smooth it scrolls but also the software
In my opinion the reason I think it scrolls better has to do with apples memory management because it manages ram more smoothly so that's probably why
Also did you install custom kernel on your device?
Because if you did there would be no way you would lose

lol then i actually have no idea
the only thing that i could recommend is for you to try lightning zap rom
also overclock to the fullest and put in performance mode!!!!!
Then also install the v6 supercharger but i think slimbean already has it so
i think im stumped on this one lol!
Lightening zap is a kernel. And as for performance once we officially get project butter everything should be fine then.

lol yeah i totally did a typo there but i meant kernel!
but thanks for clarifying that i wouldn't want to spread that around
well i guess you explained it better than me and thanks!!!
"The iPhone changed things by introducing a dedicated thread with high priority for handling UI rendering, redirecting all power (CPU and GPU) to handling UI element rendering in realtime based on touch input. The result? Smooth-as-butter UI elements, transitions and animations as soon as you touch the screen -- even on older hardware when paired with the latest iOS 5 software. The drawback: everything else, from app downloads to content rendering will pause so the UI can keep that high frame rate, high quality redraw pace."

I've tried every kernel for this phone and most ROMs and there are brief times when the smoothness matches the iPhone, but the consistency just isn't there..
Speed..well that's a different story there are some ROM/kernel/tweak combos that make this phone pretty darn fast

The t989 is faster than the iPhone 4s. Geekbench 2 proves that. But in terms of smoothness the iPhone will ALWAYS win. It's just the way Android is designed. iOS sets resources aside for UI transitions and whatnot and that's why you NEVER see an iPhone stutter and spurt like Android does at times. Give Android another year or so and this issue will be a thing of the past. Unfortunately the only way to resolve this with Android is better hardware... but it's coming!

Wow. I have the opposite experience. Touchwiz 4.0.4 spurts and stutters for me a lot. Add in the fact that it's nowhere near as snappy as AOSP 4.1 and I find myself constantly going back to jelly bean even though Touchwiz 4.0.4 gives me better battery life.

I'm still using jmtx1 even though there were is more current versions.
Even though ptmr3 said that adding the supercharge script was unnecessary I did it anyways just to ease my mind Lol I also added some of the battery saving mods from pmr...I keep my cpu set to ondemand/noop and slightly underclocked..and I am using the stock tw launcher ..
I think that some of the aosp ROMs out there may be slightly faster. but in my experiences they aren't as smooth as this one ..
Experiences may vary from phone to phone so there is no point in saying which ROM is better than the rest but I put my setup so someone can try it for themselves
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
well basically JB is the most stable ROM in my opinion that has the most support otherwise like ICS and GB don't have as much but i think that as soon as Ubuntu gets released the JB roms will be flowing like water but basically that also means that more roms will be smoother and remember that JB hasn't been officially released for our device so what there is currently is made by our awesome devs!

It can be a bit choppy or of the box but I found it good

The dual core processor in our GS2 is definitely faster and more efficient than the Vibrant's Hummingbird processor. I'm surprised that you said the Vibrant feels faster and smoother than our phone. Is the Vibrant rooted? A stock Vibrant can never feel no where near as fast and smooth as this phone especially with the stock RFS file system Samsung used to use back then on the first set of Galaxy S devices.
The issue with our device is the lack of proper optimization with the software for our processor so you'll notice occasional lag bit nothing as bad as RFS.

The launcher you use makes a difference too. I'm using QQ launcher. Got tired of touchwiz dropped it like a bad habit.
With QQ, I never have any slowdown...
I'm rooted on the stock ROM by the way but had the phone like this unrooted also with no problems
i'm using Go Launcher EX, with all the effects and animations ON, same with the stock Android, enabled all the Animations and special effects, on top of that install Spare Parts to enable the hidden special effects
all running butter smooth
i did read few people saying they disabled animation to not have those micro lags, but never seen or noticed one yet

I agree. On my device, the TW rom out-performs CM10 (M2) in almost every way. Especially with Google Now, voice search, and battery life. I love CM10, but I have to give credit to Samsung on this one. Maybe its because they hired Steve Kondick.
I'm sure once they release their JB source, that will help a lot with custom ROMs.

So far I think staying stock is just as good as running a developed kernel for this particular ROM imho, especially when you want to get the most battery. I use SetCPu and will run min 486 and Max 1350/1404. SmartassV2 and Zen or cfq governors. I don't play many games on my phone, I have tablets for that and they are tweaked as high as I can go and be stable. It's all about what you use your phone for, most times when I benchmark it seems the higher frequency I push my score actually will get worse, might be I'm need to up my voltage, but I don't mess with voltages much. I will follow the developers guidelines for undervolting if I'm trying to squeeze that extra life, but I don't worry about it that much. Best way for me to extend my battery life is start turning things off when they're not needed. All the things I try with my devices I have learned by reading on the XDA forums, and by far the developers for our GS3's are the best and I'm very thankful for all they give up to give us these awesome roms, kernels, and not forgetting about the theme developers to make or phones run fast, operate smoothly, and look great. Without them might as well buy a fruit product, just kidding I would get a flip phone before I would do that. .... This was meant to be a quick reply, just got off a 14 hr work day and I'm just rambling a little, I hope my reply makes sense.

a benchmark is basically a set of tests to see how fast your phone is running
here is the dictionary meaning...
bench·mark
/ˈbenCHˌmärk/
Noun
A standard or point of reference against which things may be compared or assessed.
Verb
Evaluate or check (something) by comparison with a standard: "we are benchmarking our performance against external criteria".
if you want to compare your device to others
go to playstore and download Antutu Benchmark and run it
I know my device would score low...I'm setup for stability and battery life.
Those with really high scores are tweaked for Max performance and probably carry an a/c charger in their pockets!

Yea.. not for me. A much faster phone would be nice. The Nexus 4 is much faster and smoother on all fronts. I've had 3 t989s and the camera is absolutely nothing to write home about.

Damn! This is really amazing.What ROM are you running?
Hi guys, I absolutely mean no disrespect to any developer, but nearly any rom I've tried so far with the exception of bonestock and eclipse not only "feels" a little slower, but scores about half of what it would be if I was on the stock rom.
Is this merely a side effect of running a rom the phone is not made for? As more roms are polished is it possible to meet or exceed stock performance?
All the roms I've tried so far score about 6,000 to 7,000, while stock would get about 12,500, for example.
Again, absolutely no disrespect to any developers as all work very hard to give us the choices we have today. I'm merely curious, is all.

I wouldn't say that they are meaningless, but even so, I notice slight lag and a bit of a longer delay when opening and transitioning between apps, even before I have checked for benchmarks.

I used to be a benchmark junkie too until I realized that a few hundred or thousand points in benchmarks had little to no effect on my user experience with a ROM as a whole. Furthermore, benchmark scores can be inflated. You can max out your specs for benchmark purposes, but are you really going to be using all cores on max speed with performance governor throughout the day? My guess is, likely not.
In regards to transitions in ROMs, you can always mess with the developer settings to reduce the animation time for a quicker, smoother transition. I prefer the .5x setting, but your preferences may vary.
I prefer custom ROMs over stock for their levels of customization. Nothing better than to be able to tweak my phone to my own liking. Stock ROMs usually don't have the little extras that make Android a truly personal and enjoyable experience.
Overall, it comes down to what you prefer. For some, its a stock or close-to-stock interface with great performance. Others may prefer a more customized ROM that may or may not sacrifice performance and compatibility, but suits their needs better.
TL;DR User experience is more important than benchmark scores.

I believe he did tl;dr for those who don't like reading walls of text, he dumbed it down for them

I believe a recent Anandtech article mentioned that manufacturers, check for specific benchmarking apps and then optimize their running to get inflated scores. Stock Android, Motorola, and Apple don't have those checks and their benchmarks can be "trusted".
Besides benchmarking scores, does the phone itself just feel a bit slower for any of you guys when running custom roms? Like when you scroll in settings or in a Web browser, or opening an app?

It was slower for me too , tried cm 10.2 and even liquid smooth but just didn't feel as smooth as stock. Plus I've come to like sense far more than vanilla android
