I have a lag issue with my device and its starting to drive me crazy. Lol.. But anyway when I'm using the touchwiz launcher and drop down the notification drawer while on the home screen the animation is really choppy and laggy. But as soon as I open an app like gmail or even settings menu the choppiness is gone. The home screen lag will go away if I use another launcher as well like launcher pro or go launcher. But I prefer the twlauncher.
Another strange thing is the twlauncher has no home screen lag when using cm7 so I know the device is capable. Just was wondering if anyone else has this issue or found a way around it, thanks!
Just wanted to note that this didn't occur on my epic touch 4g

Just root the device and flash a rom, I think Samsung didn't spend enough time optimizing the Snapdragon with the Touchwiz skin.
While the majority of this update brings smoothness and (possibly) better battery life for all, there are a few things that can make life more difficult for the power user. Here I'll list what I found, and I'll try to add people's replies as they come in.
Superuser is kinda broken
None of the 4.3 superuser hacks have been 100% successful, many parts don't work. For example, restoring apps with TB or RTP result in only the apps being restored, but data is left behind. Tested with Chainfire's SuperSU for the S4 (which also works on any AOSP 4.3 ROM)
Secure Settings Helper can't toggle airplane mode anymore
This one is particularly bad for Tasker users, as many of their profiles that depend on Secure Settings toggling airplane mode for them will now have to do it by hand until someone finds a new way.
USB OTG slightly broken
Mounting with StickMount on my Galaxy Nexus is fine, but after unmounting, sdcard disappears and shows content from root directory. Sure, everything is safe and sound in /data/media, the mount points just get a little messed up. Perhaps this is due with the root issue?
Slight stutters
Slight stutters have been noticed in the following areas: when pressing the recent apps button, switching from notification to quick settings, and CRT off. I don't get these often except for the recent apps, which seems to be persistent. All the others, at least for me, come and go.
Feel free to post whatever thing you notice in 4.3 that seems off!

It will probably take a while till SU gets reimplemented in a proper way. In the mean time if someone needs to backup&restore data, I've used koush Helium app which uses adb, works fine.

CRT animation
The CRT animation when you turn off the screen of the device is still laggy like in 4.2
Quick-settings panel
The animation that make appears the quick-settings panel is not always "60fps smooth" like in 4.1/4.2.
Nav-bar buttons animation
The "glow" animation of the virtual button is not smooth (mostly on the multitasking button, when you are in the home screen)
"App"
"Applications" is now replaced from "App" everywhere in the phone (Settings, multitasking screen if empty). Just REALLY ugly.
Fow now, this. If i discover more, I'll update the post

Could it be that you have problems with that? Same like the guy before has a laggy dialer, and you don't ... In my case, the CRT animation is a lot better, smoother than it was before ... Nav-bar button glow is working smoother than ever here ...
my gnex after 4.3 is running like butter on silk. it's that smooth. 4.2.2 was more laggy than 4.3

Have you tried the Lagfix app from the playstore? Maybe you emmc needs some trimming.
Fixed the recents button lag for me. You need root though.

About quick settings frame drop I think it happens only when there is any notification. If I swipe all then the transition is smoother

I have experienced a better battery usage. But i have made a clean isntall, so I dont know if the better battery usage is due to the 4.3 itself or the clean install.
For this first day, no issues.

Here I have the lag every time i make appear or disappear the quick-settings panel, except the first time from when I pull down the notification bar.
Independently of having or not having notifications.

its really hard to notice for me if there is any difference between the first time and the rest...seems like the same, only difference is when there's a notification.
Another minor lag: Google Now
If I press and hold home button, the Google 'circle' shows up normally, but if I do it swiping the finger from the bottom instead of pressing and holding home, the Google 'circle' animation showing up is laggy.
Mostly importat to see if they fixed the problem with eMMC speed.
I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 last week (still haven't opened it) from Best Buy for $199. I read reviews that stated there is some hiccups and lagginess while doing multiple things at once.
I will not root the tablet, but, what bloatware can I and should I turn off to make this quicker and not have any lag? I read on the Tab S forum, someone that had the Tab Pro and this is what he mentioned:
haven't picked mine up yet, but I'm coming from a Tab Pro, which should have mostly the same UI elements. It's not difficult to turn off most of the Samsung bloat. In particular, turning off the magazine UI provided a significant boost.
I copied 8.4 forum, but I don't remember where. So I'm sorry to whoever I can't direct appropriate credit:
Try the Nova launcher from the Play Store to improve speed. Set it as your default launcher then Disable/Turn Off;
Flipboard, MagazineWidget, S Voice, Samsung Apps, Samsung Apps Widget, SapaMonitor, Screen Saver, World Clock, and (Hancom; Office for Android Share, Hcell, Hshow, Hword, Updater, Viewer Launcher, and Widget) if you don't plan on using it. Then reboot.
After following these recommendations performance improved significantly, and in using NOVA touchwiz is mostly unseen.
Hopefully this helps, but ultimately if it's not making you happy there's no reason to keep it. Good luck.
Now, I will keep my stock launcher. What can be turned off to give "UI provide a significant boost?" As the above member mentioned. Also, a real newbie question, how do I turn off the recommended bloatware?
Lastly, I just opened it for the first time to charge it. I bought the black tablet. Does the black tablet still come with the white charger? I would of thought the black tablet would come with a black charger?

I've disabled the following: Cisco Webex, e-meeting, Memo, Screensaver, SideSync, SNS
You can speed up magazine UI by removing all of the (magazine) widgets except for one, and removing all of the magazine UI pages except for one.
Under developer options I have window animations and transition animation turned off. I just have the photo widget running in the magazine screen. I think this thing is pretty damn smooth. My first samsung tablet and I don't mid the ui, it's different and a nice change. When I get bored of it I will probably install another launcher. The thing I have grown to love about stock roms is that they generally just work.
Take that out of the box and play with it and you be the judge. You won't find a better tablet for the price.

Older thread but I just picked up this tablet.
To disable the apps you don't want do you use the turn off button in Settings/General/ "Application Manager"?
Is there a danger if you turn off say the ANT apps not sure if they work in tandem with other apps that I want to keep.

I posted what I had turned off satisfactory in a post a while back in regards to the T-900, but you should more,or less be able to turn off the same things. It was something like 160 files, using the freeze option in Titanium. Good luck.
Hi.
just got a new LG g3, ( auro 2Gb version).
and mostly it`s working really good. But comming from a old Note 2, i`m a little dissapointed in how "laggy" it is in some parts..
When i get the different apps up and running it`s seamless, and launching them is about the same speed as the old note 2.
Screen responce is also good,
But the problem is when exiting a app ( facebook,game,sms or any other app that stays open for more than 2 min. )
It seems like it is closing the "background" apps like widgets and the launcher in general, so when i exit, the launcher is empty for about 2-5 sec ( it acts just as when you restart your phone, it just takes a few sec for all apps\widgets to start)
this only happens if i`m using a app for a few min, if i just go into one and exit within a shirt time it acts normal. ( with my note 2, if i pressed the home butten, it was back into the launcher within 1 sec with the launcher screen fully populated. )
Is this something others are seeing to? I might not be used to the phone yet, but my old note 2 seems more "seamless" in user interface...= better software. )
up...
seeing it's the 2gb version it's mostly because of your other apps that run in the background and take up RAM, so the launcher has to be shut down everytime whenever the system feels like there isn't enough free RAM and decides to free some. afterwards (when you return to the homescreen) it restarts itself and it may take some time like a full restart as you mentioned because let's face it, it's not a fast launcher. the launcher is kind of a hog in my opinion. both RAM-wise and speedwise. I find that most of the people who are complaining about sluggishness use stock launcher. try using nova launcher (you can adjust it to shut off the screen on double tap with a small app called screen off and lock), it's much snappier and offers lots of extra customization options (like faster and/or different transition animations, different icon/homescreen row and column counts, label/icon changing, app hiding etc.), on top of it all it uses only about 1/3-4 amount of RAM compared to the stock launcher while allowing you to customize bunch of stuff. you can find also same-looking widgets if you use something like zooper widget, and get a g3 icon pack (there's a huge and good one in the playstore already) if you like the original looks like I do, but without all the lag and waiting.
Folks when using nova launcher there's a clear noticeable lag when launching apps from home screens.
I've tested this versus stock oneplus launcher. On stock oneplus launcher apps launch instantly after you tap on an icon, whilst on nova the app icon lights up & then the app is launched afterwards. My best mate who also uses a oneplus 3 has been experiencing the same issue.
To test this for yourself, use oneplus launcher for a minute, opening various apps - then do the same on nova and you'll immediately notice the micro lag.
This also occurs when launching apps from the app drawer.
Anyone else noticed this?
I also experience the exact same issue. Noticed it couple of days ago but haven't had time to post about it here.
I have reported the issue to the Nova Launcher Dev via email and also in the Beta Google+ page. This is definitely a Nova Launcher bug as I have tested Google Now Launcher, the new Pixel Launcher and the official One plus launcher.
On all three apps open the instant an icon is touched while on nova an icon is touched, the icon briefly lights up and only then opens. It is something you might not notice initially but once someone tells you or shows you, you can't miss it and it gets more and more iritating with time.
Have tried moving to other launchers but the uncustomisable grid size on Google Now, Pixel and Oneplus launcher keep me from doing so as most of them have massive vertical gaps inbetween apps on the homescreen.
It happens on both Latest Beta and Latest Stable version of Nova Launcher Prime. Have tried to remove all widgets off homescreen, turning off animations system wide, but it did not make a difference.
Running Official Rooted Stock with Viper4Android Oxygen 3.2.6. Do not use xposed so a module can't be the culprit.
Try changing scroll speed and animation speed to Fast under nova setting look and feel. Also in developer settings change transition animation scale, animator transition scale and windows animation scale all to .5

The problem isn't an animation problem. It is a delay that happens before the animation even takes plays. It doesn't matter even if you switch the animations off system wide under eveloper options the delay between when you tap on an app and it opening is still noticeable
Oh, ok. Mine is bone stock unrooted and don't have any stutters that I can see. Wish I could help.

No worries bro, thanks for chiming in :beer:
Can't say I notice anything more than the animation.
My nova beta with prime on stock oxygen 3.2.6 is as smooth as one plus launcher.
I don't notice it myself; that said, I'm using FreedomOS (slightly modified OOS) and blu_spark kernel, which might help improve performance a bit.
Most apps open up before I even manage to lift the finger off the screen, those that take longer are equally slow on both launchers. (Talking about cold starts here, once they're in RAM everything's pretty much instant).

It probably comes from the fact you can assign 2 different apps for the same icon.
One for "click" and one for "slide up".
If you slide up the app drawer icon you'll enter in Nove Settings for example.

Same thing with SmartLauncher.

I'm using Nova since two weeks with RR and Boeffla's Kernel, and I have no lags at all. I've set the animation of Nova to "Fast". When I open the drawer, or the widget menu, I can't notice any micro lag. I think this problem is not Nova-related

That shouldn't cause any lags, sliding and tapping are completely different actions.
Lags or rather delays happen when you have double tap functions, because in that case the system has to wait after first tap to see if you'll tap again. But sliding has no influence here.
I'm using swipe-up functions on multiple icons and still see no lag whatsoever.

He said "micro-lag" not huge lag. But you're right, those are two different things
I just checked on my device and I have a little latency due to the animation (just tried to change the speed animation and it fixed it).
I can confirm this lags on RR with Nova launcher, Trebuchet open the aps faster!

The lag is a MICRO lag not a very noticeable lag. Any other launcher including, google now, pixel, one plus and action launcher 3 don't have it but nova does. doesnt matter if your using stable or beta builds. Makes no difference what home screen set up you got. There is slight delay between when you touch the screen and the app icon you pressed starts playing animation. The app lights up first which it shouldn't do. it should just start animation the minute the app icon touchscreen input is detected. It is alot less likely to happen if the app is not in memory. Once the app is in memory it does it every single time you press home, whatsapp for example. Moved to Action Launcher 3 after using Nova Prime for past 3 years. Reported to developer via email and google+ beta page but no reply in 3 days.
noticed this since i got the phone a couple of weeks ago, but only if keeping app in memory (i.e. hitting home instead of back). if i hit back to exit app, this delay doesn't occur (except maybe w/ facebook)
only happens w/ nova launcher and definitely specific to OP3. i would use stock launcher, but i prefer to turn all animations off, and nova seems to be the only launcher that keeps the light up on button/app press with animations off.
in general, OP3 seems to lag a bit compared to my OPX in regards to navigating menus (i.e. settings)
I can also confirm microlag when launching apps, really annoyed with it.
