I'm just excited for the improved performance with Project Butter. Although with AT&T's track record I might end up selling my Ion and buying the TL to ensure I get JB.

please please please please bring the timescape just like the one on X10 2.1. it's the single most beautiful thing ever in android. when we have the hardware, i really hope this can be done
other than that, just make the phone smoother and fix the damn camera/video recording focus problem

Although sony apps are attractive and useful, the UI is lag compare to cm9/cm10, from user perspective, smooth UI is also essential when choosing OS

I want the option to install with or without the Sony customizations. To choose between Sony or vanilla android.

Does Real Racing 3 lag?

Guys, I'm playing Real Racing 3 on my Note2 and I experience lags in the animation before each race and when there are 15+ cars. Do you guys experience any lags on your notes or is it just me...

I have stock MB2 ROM, and you guys?
Wysyłane z mojego GT-N7100 za pomocą Tapatalk 2

I'm using Omega v13 - and it had lag ever since it's release... Can you guys tell us what roms/kernels are you using so you dont have lag? Are you on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2? ....

on PhoeniX v8 and Perseus 33.4 I have no lag

I use stock rooted DMB2 too, and it has Lags when I play a race with 22 other cars. I tested the game on the iPhone 5 and it runs very smooth. Lets hope there are coming some updates in the future to make the performance better.

Though it's strange some users report lags and others dont... I will try Phoenix and see how it goes...
Edit: Can anyone report how is the gameplay when you tick GPU rendering in development options...?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

as the OP says, it lags "in the animation before each race". Well it's not a huge lag, just this animation is not as smooth as the race itself. And we're used to the absolute smoothness of the Note 2, I'm sure some people comming from an HTC OneX or an old device wouldn't even see a single lag
I just click the screen to skip this animation, it's not important, the race remains smooth whatever how many cars there are.
I'm using ARHD 12.0 and Perseus 33.4 kernel @ 1.6ghz (and that's enough, I don't use 1.8ghz, this game is the only one that kills the battery so fast, and actually the only one to drain more battery than the screen!)

Well I also don't mind those lags but since some people are reporting no lags at all I can't help but wonder what rom/kernel setup they have in order to run the game 100% smooth.....

Game kil*er

It lags on S3 too. In stock 4.1.2 and also in the Resurrection Remix 3.1.4. It lags a bit on iPad 3 (but graphics are awesome) also but not iPad 4(saw in video).
If it doesn't lag in some Note 2s, I'm sure it'll run in S3 too without any doubt.

Questions is though, why does it lag on some Notes and doesnt lag on other Notes... :/ :/ :/

The difference could depend with different roms (mine's stock 4.1.2) or background apps. My Note 2 plays the game lag free everytime, i had an iPhone 5 a couple of days ago and RR3 had an occasional lag..

So you recommend spending 2.25€ for it? It is tempting to try.

I use Opera to download files, Dolphin to read news and browse as i don't have to install fonts to my phone, the other one is default one. And normally I used to have more than 3. But last night I format my phone and not installed all browsers yet.
Its been a while since I never use launcher. Today I found this post and want to try some launchers and decide what is best. But I can't decide yet. That's the reason I has many launchers.

So, I bought it and have been playing with it for some time. Here are my first impressions.
It looks really nice and it is very good that you can customize what will it look based on time, location or WiFi. So you can always have something different, based on what you need.
Screens are fully customizable and there are 5 of them. You can have chameleon widgets or put your own anywhere. Official widgets are really nice.
It is pretty fast but tends to lag sometimes and first load of launcher is quite long.
You can put apps on screens and create folders and link them to app drawer so you have them always at hand.
The biggest downside of chameleon? RAM USAGE! It eats around 100MB to as high as 135MB or ram and it's slowing the phone down sometimes.
This launcher is in the making and will get even better than it is now. They really have to improve ram usage otherwise it is really good for now.
Will post some more after few days.

yeah i noticed the ram usage too
i even encountered a force close when i was playing around with it, though only once, but still

Xperia S lag and smoothness issues

Hello all.
I have my Xperia S for one month now and I am becoming more and more frustrated with the frequent lags and slowness of the system in general.
On the same day I bought it, I discovered that I was with a locked bootloader and from then on, despite my attempts to improve the system by rooting and trying several Roms I am about to give up hope.
I am now with KA25 ROM but already tried XZXperience 2 and Turbo ROM. From all of these I must say that sooner or later the system becomes laggy and starts to have strangely large access times to some actions or apps.
I notice this in the contacts app a lot, in the messaging app, on the in-call and after call screens, slow loading times while performing normal tasks, like in the album scrolling and accessing images, hiccups and annoying sounds within the Walkman app. Don't know where to even start or stop.
Sometimes I feel that it must be something related to ICS but I would like to have your opinion on these issues.
Also, I am having thoughts about going back to basics and just factory reset the whole phone. Would this clean all of the "debris" the rooting and appliance of several Roms could have done to the phone?
How would I do this? Just flashing with flashtool a clean stock image?
Any advice or any second thoughts, or even the sharing of similar experiences would be great and I would be grateful.
Looking to hear from you soon.

This problem is well known... ICS on this device is very laggy and bad.

Thanks for the feedback. When you mention tweaks what do you precisely mean? Because I have tried some tools like Pimp my ROM which state to have entropy generators and other speed tweaks but up until now it is pretty much of the same...
However I must agree that waiting for Jelly Bean is the most straightforward solution however I am surprised that a good device like Xperia S has this difficulty dealing with ICS or any usual tasks.
I came from an HTC Sensation XE and with ICS ROMS these issues were not so frequent.
However and I must address this in the topic I have been restoring the apps from ROM manager when changing ROM. Would this have any influence in the short term to the system stability and general speed?
Many thanks.

[Q] system lag when running some apps

i'm facing lag when running a few apps that has a floating bubble like toucher and facebook chat heads even Velis Auto Brightness
the lag is only on launchers i tried a lot all the same (Apex - all xperia launchers - miui launcher ------ etc)
I'm on XS 4.1.2 trinity rom 2.8
does anyone have these issues or just me ?
what should i do heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp i'm starting to hate my phone

Don't make it harder for your phone to react, by installing lots of apps that you don't really need,like Velis Auto Brightness. And you should try installing HONAMI HOME Launcher,you'll have no lag.

thanks for your reply i tried honami launcher it's much smoother but the lag still when running those apps

Sometimes yes. Stock gets much stable and smooth.after removal of bloatwares .while modding somehow slows the ph, nt everytime or every mod.
Thats why modded roms are free from bloatware.
