4.1.2 smoothness..?

Hi All,
I have been using 4.1.2 few days now, and I'm really confused. This is not as smooth as expected. Launcher jerks quite often, not much but much more than in 4.1.1. Am I only one with this issue or do someone have similar experience..?
Thanks !

Are you using a custom rom?

Most likely, I don't think the OTA for the GNex is out yet.

The factory image is though. You can run stock 4.1.2. That is what I'm running.

No, I am using original factory image. Only thing done is rooting by flashing SuperSu. I think that should not cause jerking..? Or have I missed something..?

not seeing any here; also JZO54K by factory image

I did "clean-flash" with literally full wipe, I don't see any differences in smoothness compared to JRO03c.

try a different governor/scheduler or different governor settings. i like ondemand/deadline with a sampling rate of 15000/up threshold of 98%.

There were very few changes to the launcher in 4.1.2. Most dealt with orientation on larger screens (like the Nexus 7). So I don't see how it would be any less or more smooth than 4.1.1. Most likely, the user didn't do a clean install or they are just noticing small lags more because they are looking for it.

Cannot agree more. :good:
Maybe it's just a placebo effect but I think autorotation (landscape to portrait and vice versa) animation seems more fluid here than on 4.1.1 which I considered little jittery.

Thank you everyone. I am sure this jerks more than 4.1.1 in my device.. But if it works normally for everyone else then the problem has to be in my device/installation. Installation should be clean (done according installation script). One thing I'm wondering is Google Wallet. I downloaded image with wallet, but it does not seem to be enabled in my region. But neither that should cause jerking..?

You probably need to flash 4.1.2 drivers update. Check this:

I flashed AOKP 4.1.2 and got back my smoothness with it.

Thank you for the tip ! I'm just more confused.. are these drivers really missing from official google factory image..?

The stock image comes with all the drivers and binaries. Maybe turn it off and back on? I have absolutely zero lag and have about 30apps in total. Maybe close the ones you are not using?

Ok, thanks ! I have to try monitor apps if some of them causes lag (high cpu usage or something). If lag continues then I think reflashing might do the job.. Seems to be unique issue so something going on with my device.
Thanks everybody for tips & thoughts !

ASOP roms may not have them, but should be included in stock.
Do a nandroid backup, flash and test. It is a very very small file to flash. It helped me with AOKP (AOSP).
Before flashing over 4.1.2, I flashed over a 4.1.1 and .... I think a got some additional smoothness, but .... as there is not accurate procedure to measure smoothness, could be only my sensation.
EDIT: 124 user apps running smooth with AOKP

No lag here 53apps try XenonHD smoothies ROM in my experience

It runs very smooth for me on cm10 no lag that I notice it actually seems to fun smoother than stock 4.1.1 on my phone and on my girls nexus s also running cm10

Does it fix the really laggy notification pull down? I really don't get why it lags.. It's nothing there? :s

[Q] Stock JB issues?

seems quite a few people that i know have been having issues since upgrading to stock OTA jelly bean. constant crashes and battery drain. the stock messaging app seems to crash the most, apparently. does anyone know what's going on? i'm on xquizit JB, so i've only experienced some battery drain, some times...

If you're not on stock JB, why ask?

Maybe he wants to try a stock jb Rom or is curious on what's is going on.
I think it's partly corrupt media files or people not factory reseting after the ota.

I mentioned them on your thread. I dont know why I had so many issues with the Tmo Rom but didnt have any issues (except the data signal) when using the other 4.3 Rom (international) you made. But im glad I didnt update officially!

For right now with the bootloader Knox issues, I'm sticking with 4.12 and using the the 4.3 MK7 radio. I've gone through them all and this
improved my signal and battery time significantly. More over, with this modem improvement, I've fallen in love again with my finely tuned
Jedi-x20 all over again. ptmr3, still my idol!!!

I also flashed the MK7 modem. Haven't really noticed a vast improvement..and it also didn't deliver some of my calls and went straight to vm. But hoping it makes a difference as its used more throughout the day. .

To all people having problems,
I personally had to flash the deodexed rom about 3 times before the problems got fixed. First time camera wasn't working but I read somewhere that when first on stock taker pictures and then update the kernel. Second it was super sluggish...barely moving. Third time everything worked fine and have yet to come across and problems.
Just remember to keep erasing cache and dalvik after every flash/step.

Man people, I'm sorry for all of you. I received it while using tweaked but could not flash it so I went back to stock image using Mobile odin and triangle away. After going complete stock I received the update again then went ahead and installed it using the stock recovery. I gave up root because I'm impatient and couldn't wait 24 hours until the rooted version came along and the only thing I miss is viper audio and cerebus. So I went the stock route and after it booted up, I signed in to my Google account and soon as the home screen came up I did a factory rest and haven't had 1 hiccup. The phone is fast as hell, the battery is about the same, my 4glte even seems faster than before when browsing using the stock browser, not chrome. The keyboard is great now as well as camera, and nothing bets the apps to sd. So in conclusion do a factory rest and forget about root IF you want all to run flawless. I'm sure there will be a way to regain root again. Happy flashing.......stock style.

4.4 tw and tmobile - official discussion here

So from what am seeing seems like we are stuck once again..... Samsung keeps making it impossible for us to flash without using the new bootloaders.... Seems like the guys on the 9505 already made a Flashable for 4.4.2 leak but if you are not on their latest bootloader wifi doesn't work...... & You know tmobile won't be giving us this update till probably the s6 comes out lol

Any big difference between TW 4.3 vs TW 4.4.2 ?
I know that the 4.4.2 Google Edition Roms absolutely scream as far as real world performance goes. But somehow I doubt the TW 4.4.2 will offer a huge performance boost vs its earlier counterpart. Anyone have any insight into this?

@^ I recently checked some videos of the new kitkat update for the galaxy S4 on youtube and there isn't quite many changes. The only changes are some of the notification icons and also the settings now says 4.4.2, that's the only difference that I saw. There might be some performance boost on this update, but nothing really changed.

It performs pretty well actually and it also has some big features like the new location settings, tap and pay working out of the box, printing without a third party app and they revamped some lock screen settings, keyboard, and also now has AUTO high touch sensitivity so now it can actually sense when you're wearing gloves ( which I have tested and works great)

its leaked thats why nowhere on any site.. also wanted that not to be noisy so much.
might affect some people thats why.
and i think from what i felt it is from sammy and legit.
everything else depends upon you.
u might want to download and flash or check fw files and libs by decmpiling if its legit or not.

Three developer/teams work on that leak and you can find all three here on XDA, why do you have doubts?
Even google will show you the same result if you try in several languages.

Samsung is preparing 4.4 for note 2... but they want to test it before they release it fully.... so they unofficially leak it to some sources so that it falls into the best of the devs hands and any bugs could be rectified for free....xda is a free testing ground for them...xda guys are happy to test and get the latest build before it is available.... and Every one wins

I think it's legit man, KK on the Notw 2 with dn3 magic is really awesome!

Thanks for the update Sir,
I can not do any development related work, hence the question.
I 100% trust you.
Question was raised only becoz it was not available anywhere else. Today I will try to use DN3 Kitkat.
Thanks once again.
