It's probably just me...But does anyone else notice increased "lag" with this update?
It's probably just me...But does anyone else notice increased "lag" with this update? I certainly do - Rooted with most bloat frozen too...
Try a custom rom like darkside evolution or adjust the OC/UV
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks - any suggestions on settings for my OC/UV?
Unrooted with the stock ICS update. I've caught my S2 locking up every now and then for as long as a couple of minutes. also noticed more lag switching between apps, particularly Contacts
and, to be honest, I have tried most ROMs out there and applaud the terrific work - While some offer blazing speeds, great UIs, whatever...There ALWAYS seems to be something missing (WiFi Calling, incompatible radio, no MMS...you name it) If I could find an ICS - Based ROM with everything stock has, working properly, I'm there!

All the custom roms won't have those problems as soon as they put the proprietary drivers in.

Just a personal opinion, but i would ODIN the stock ICS for now and wait a few days/week for AOSP, AOKP, and all the other individual rom makers to get the proprietary drivers and source merged in. That will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
I will - thanks man
I have so far very good experience with the Darkside mod of the stock ICS.
Small issue with reboot hanging was fixed using his scripts. Personally I prefer stock rooted with junk removed from the system. I need full functionality of the stock from for everyday life.
BTW my battery life is also good.

Nope, works fine for me.
Nope. Not very. Just a bit laggy.
I see that UI on 4.2 is not so fast as it was on 4.1.2, but some apps (e.g. chrome) works a bit faster.
So, yep - I'm happy with the update.

People who aren't having speed issues: Can you test a couple of scenarios I've noticed in particular?
1) In the new gmail: tap on the account switching area at the top. This loads far slower for me with the new app
2) Put your phone to sleep or wake it up. Sleep/wake seems quite a bit less responsive in 4.2 on both of the stock phones I've tested.

Disable all animations in developers options and screen off animation will be less noticeable.

i made i wipe cache and now is working fine. thanks a lot
No. 4.2 is just as fast as 4.1.2 on my GNex... which was fast whether I use the stock UI or Apex Launcher. Granted there is an initial sluggishness during the initial boot from services loading in the background... but after that my GNex is smooth and fast.
Those of you experiencing slow speeds: Try flashing the factory image from Google. I had one app that didn't work properly and a flash to factory stock and re-root fixed the problem. It's possible you have an app running in the background eating up resources too.
I understand these threads and posts must be annoying to those who aren't having issues, but to people like me, who OTAed a bone stock phone and are left with a less-than-satisfactory experience, it is equally frustrating. Especially considering how many improvements were made with 4.1-4.1.2, which have now been rendered moot.
I guess my only recourse is to wipe and flash stock, but because I'm not rooted and don't have any backups, it'll be fun to rebuild my phone.

Turn off that live wallpaper! JK hopefully that isnt the case...
Each Android iteration on the GN has gotten smoother for me. 4.2 is pretty amazing out of the box, much like 4.1 was when compared to 4.0.3/.4. The GN is definitely not lacking when it comes to having what it takes for 4.2.
4.2 is really, really fast. When they fix camera rotation and recent apps, it will be perfect. It killed my urge for N4. Now I can easily wait for one more year... Good job Google.

Is anyone having jittery scrolling with their rom?I am running jedi and I didnt clean flash 6.1.1 and dont know if its causing this.
Every scrolling; menus, facebook, xda app, etc. Except stock browser is jerky. When you scroll it doesnt stop smoothly it jitters. Not too much but its definitely there and made me realize it.
I compared it to sgs2 running jellybean and everything is smooth there...
Anyone?
I have noticed the same thing since I installed jedi as well. I noticed it once jedi 6 and the same with 6.1.2

So should I try to clean install jedi again? I so dont wanna do that cuz after I flash roms I do so much tweaking it takes an hour or more to finish.
You have it as well but someone else said on jedi thread that after he clean installed its gone.
Did you clean install the 6.1.2? Or just flashed on top of previous one?
Running CleanRom 3.3 (Chose Perseus kernel when installed) and its silky smooth
Its killing me. I installed jedi 6.1.2 with perseus kernel still jerky. I am running clean rom 3.3 with perseus now and still not smooth. Tried note2core kernel still same. Installed stock 4.1.2 with perseus still laggy.
Only tome I felt less laggy was saber kernel with jedi. However saber only supports fat32. I have 64gb exfat.
This is insane. My old sgs2 with 4.1.2 is buttery smooth.
I cant seem to find the solution to this. This really made me hate this phone. Seems like frame rate is so low tgat it seems jerky when you scroll down or up on settings, facebook, tapatalk or other apps.
When you scroll slow or very fast there is no jerkiness. Its there when you scroll medium speed.
You scroll and it jerks seveal times very shortly until it stops. thats why it looks like frame rate is so low.
Enabled/disabled force 2d, nothing changes. Flashed maybe 10 times yesterday. I always wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset. Flash the rom and do wipe chache/dalvik and factory reset again then reboot.
I cant enjoy this phone anymore since I compared to sgs2 and know this is not normal.

Ohh I flashed clean rom and jedi so many times over and over again but ni change. However only jedi with saber kernel I was able get smooth setting menu scrolling but apps such as facebook, tapatalk, whats up isnt.
I compared tapatalk side by side with sgs2 running 4.1.2 and even though its not ios smooth its still smoother than note2.
Annoying thing is that nobody seems like aware of it. I cant believe you dont have the same jerkiness. Its just obviously a software issue and everybody running the same rom/roms should have it.

Can you explain then why stock browser is very smooth? and why saber kernel is with jedi makes the android menu scrolling smooth? If everything was bad yes maybe I would suspect something else, also I don't think a hardware can cause jerky scrolling when there are codes in android that can adjust scrolling.
I was using sgs2 for a year and flashed so many roms and kernels, there were huge differences in scrolling physics. Some updates were jerky, some smooth, some fast, some slow.
Everyone's perception is different. I wasn't even aware of it it took me 3 weeks to realize this jerky scrolling. For some of you, you might think this scrolling is smooth but for my standards its not acceptable because I know it can be modified and changed.
I own sgs1, sgs2 since their release dates and know pretty much what a firmware can do to your scrolling....
I just did a full unroot twice and being on stock seems somewhat smoother and less "chunky" than any of thr custom roms I have tried. All clean installs. I would appreciate any idea why I still have stutters and not fluid motions on anything.

No need to go full unroot if you have Triangle away & TWRP

No issues here with any of 3 different roms. What apps are you running or is it like this immediately after flashing? sounds like something is running in the background causing your problem. Is media scan running constantly? Need more info on what is going on in the background to diagnose.

Most custom roms are de-bloated already.

Maybe try to reduce the Animated Scale setting under Settings - Developer Options from 1x to 0.5x or below? Toggle GPU rendering setting in there as well.
I also agree that a lot is dependent on your launcher. Nova is good to compare too *only* if you optimize it's settings to set all to "Faster than light"

I'm on the newest version of CleanRom. I much prefer it to stock. There are a lot of features I can't live without. Still, the price you pay is with scrolling. It's jerky compared to stock, especially when you are slow scrolling. Fast scrolling is not an issue.
Yeah, I don't know what you talking about. I'm running Jedi X6.1.2 and I don't feel a performance difference, but I do have a lot of nice goodies stock doesn't have.
OP should make a video to show people his problem
I experience none of that with jedi or cleanrom

I know what he means. I also started a thread about jerky scrolling. Some people seem to have decent eyes they just dont realize or never seen a fluid scrolling capable samsung rom. My stock browser is buttery smooth even with heavy picture loaded wep pages. However tapatalk and facebook and some apps are super jerky. Even setting menu of phone is very jerky. Unbelievable. They are jerky when u scroll only with medium speed. If you scroll very slow or very fast its smooth.
This is very annoying for me. So I flashed every available rom and kernel and tried every rom/kernel combo. I think I found the solution.
Seems like The problem is caused by cpu governer + rom type. So I tried some stock roms that are very smooth and that are jerky.
I got the best scrolling with note2core kernel and ONLY IF you select iNTERACTIVE governer. Perseus and other kernels only have pegasusq governer. Once I made it interactive they all became super smooth.
If you are running perseus kernel or such u can also test this by selecting "performance" governer. It basically keeps your cpu in highest level. And your scrolling becomes buttery smooth.
It has something to do with cpu levels I guess. With pegasusq there is not much load to trigger higher cpu levels so it uses low levels.
I suggest you to try note2core with interactive governer.

the lag should be enough, i did it on my galaxy s3 i had one that seemed to have alot of micro lag......if they can see it they should replace it. Most likely they will ask you to show them the problem, tell them you have a friend with the note 2 and you dont see any of this on his phone and think that it must be a bad unit. they should just replace it if its within the alotted time. just keep complaining you didnt pay that much money for a device to be as laggy as a last years gen phone and so on blah blah blah.....they should give you a new one.

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?
im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .
If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.
Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.
