Hey Guys recently i got the S2 white on Tmobile for free and it came with the 4.0.4 ICS Firmware and ive notice that my phone is kind of slow comparing it to my sister's S2 wich is black and its on the 2.3.6 Firmware. I dont know if its the phone with a problem or if its the 4.0.4 firmware causing that my phone is slower than hers. Anyone that can tell me something about this??? Another thing is that she got her S2 when they first came out on Tmobile and i got mine just a couple a days ago, so for me it doesnt make any sense that my phone is slower and laggs a lot.
You sure you don't have anything running in the background, or is it just laggy without anything installed on it? Might be because of some background apps that you do not know of

I dont think is that because i only have a few apps and im always doing the task mannager clean up, so i did a couple of tests with both like entering to the contacts,phone,txt,apps,browser etc and my phone was always a little slower than hers in every area. And when im scrolling the app list my phone is slower and laggy and hers fast and smooth. So i dont know im thinking about doing a downgrade to 2.3.6 since i dont see a great difference on the OS, to see if my phone works better that way, im waiting for the jelly bean update so i can enjoy my phone more. I dont know what do you think i should do?

well if ur gonna downgrade try a custom ROM first. That's guaranteed to solve our issues :good:

I agree with icenight89 - why downgrade when you can use a custom ROM/kernel with more control over the performance of your phone? Many kernels have loads of governors to choose from that optimize what stock ROMs use, depending on if you're going for more performance or for more battery life (or some combination of the two). The KKO kernel has a lot of governors, or you can check out this new one based off KKO (keep in mind it's only for JB roms): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2111871
Generall, Task Killers aren't really that effective and invite FC's. You best bet is to root, remove bloat, and try some tweaks. Otherwise, like me, resort to Custom ROMs/Kernels. Take a peek at the Android Development Section and be prepared to be amazed at the plethora of choices you will encounter. While some focus on performance, others focus on better battery. It's all about trying out what's there and choose one of your liking. Good Luck. Let me know if you would like some recommendations.
Still running 10a rooted and heavily debloated including everything Google. Is there any significant improvement from any updates. Regularly see 5 hrs sot as long as I don't play games, phone is quick and to my mind no lag. Would hate to return to stock to update only to find no significant improvement and have to reset my phone. Looking for definitive results as opposed to placebo effect etc.
I'm running 10i on D855
I haven't seen THAT much difference but I must say it performers better.. less lags
Battery seems the use maybe a tiny bit better..
That's just my experience
In running v10j currently. The only differences that I've noticed are some bug fixes and performance improvements.
It's the performance improvements I'm trying to define. In what way does it perform better. My phone has no lag that I can see, no overheating, reboots or sharpening issues. Internet is quick enough on 3g that I use my phone to tether my work computer and canceled my broadband. You mention bug fixes. What bugs. As open to abuse as they are is there any benchmark evidence showing significant changes.
I had some issues early on with FC's on the message app but that was fixed via a firmware update not a app update for some reason. The camera has also improved with each update even though its already great. V10j changed how big the powered by Android logo is on boot up. I think v10i had the best performance updates in terms of smoothing out the menus and delay of the multitasking menu. My phone hits 47k on antutu stock rooted no mods other than some Xposed modules that have no effect on speed. I also have the F460S so it might benchmark higher than the SD801 models. See images below for change logs of the updates and my antutu. It should also be noted that I kept root through all updates on my phone. I didn't screenshot the earlier updates but another member has also updated and kept root with the F460 so I'm not alone here.
Cheers for the reply mate. I think I'll stay put. If it ain't broke don't fix it. :good:
I am in a search for a daily stable driver like a stock. I tried all UX 5.0 roms Fulmics, N&N, Loe etc and they all have lagg especialy when a lot of opened apps in recents menu.
So is there a good stable and speedy rom, maybe a one with UX 4.0 that you recommand?
Fulmics 6.6.never gets laggy

Fulmics doesn't just lag. My phone abnormally overheats than usual, causing a damage to my wifi chip. I've also tried other stock based custom roms and it does the same. Right now I am running the MIUI 8. Smooth and I face no problem so far.
Flash any CM roms then change your resolution to 1920x1080 (Full HD). Really helps with speedy performance as the system needs only to render at this resolution (FHD) rather than 1440p. Kinda like what you do to game at higher FPS.

How it is gaming performance and battery compared to stock? (I've tried changig to FHD on stock but a lot of apps FC)

That's why I said flash any non-stock based rom. I don't game on my phone, but there's a post somewhere where they made a test and noticed a 30% boost in games using FHD resolution. Battery-wise I can't notice a significant boost. But theoretically it should somehow extend battery life. BUT I do see some gains in smoothness and overall ui performance.

Firmware? I'm using D855, currently on RR. I liked XenonHD, but I swtiched to RR because it has a bug where the navbar home button would not respond sometimes (hope they fixed it now). You could use any app that can change resolution and dpi, I'm using Easy DPI Changer currently.

If you're using a stock-based rom, no matter what app you'll use, it would force close. You need any AOSP-based ROM.

At this moment I have 13 apps open in recents on Fulmics 6.5, and it scrolls fast and fluid. No lag whatsoever.

Heating up is a G3 issue in general. Regardless, I've been on Fulmics for 7 months and the only time it's gotten noticeably hot was playing Pokemon Go in direct sunlight on a 104 degree summer day. I'm sure part of it staying cool is that I typically don't game. I do play a lot of videos though without issue.
Heja folks!
Did somebody notice, that after Nougat update device had become more laggy, for example, lags apps transition when multitasking, lags home button, especially, when waking device on fingerprint. If using some app for a long while, opening another app from recents cause noticeable delay on press, even if this app is still there in memory.
I know the lag perception differes from one to another, but still, I think this lags are really noticeable. I used to set 1,3k/1,3k cores on input boost with 300ms on Mm to get IDEAL fluidness in every situation, now I need to set 1,3k/1,9k with 400ms, but it still lags sometimes. If somebody faced this too, plz respond..
I'm really having trouble. I was deleting some messages from Gmail and the lag was too big!

I'm not really sure, if in app smoothness decreased for me with nougat. Maybe some apps became little more laggy, but another became faster, for example EX kernel manager works really faster, YouTube is smoother. On the other hand Telegram chat transition become crappy, kate mobile is a bit slower when browsing news. So if talking about inapp experience it's fair enough. Something improved, something got ****ty.
But still, multitasking and recent apps became MUCH slower. Maybe it's coz of op **** coding, mb it's coz multiwindow feature, Mb some app is causing this, and maybe it's just my crappy device. Who knows... But if somebody really knows, please answer)
I noticed that if a VPN app is active or the Keeper app, for example, is running in the background, laggy is much bigger!
You could do a clean install, overall custom roms are smoother! We sadly don't have this features since they can cause instability and you won't try that with 7 mil sells
Ofc I did a clean install and tried various custom roms. But still lag persists.

The stock kernel has always been sluggish, and Nougat has been quicker than marshmallow for me, and I'm the type of guy that gets annoyed if there is 1 microstutter. I hate any and all lag so I tend to use performance based tuning and not battery life. Try FreedomOS 2.3 (not the one based on OB11, OB11 sucks a**) with Franco, Blu spark or render kernel (Franco, Blu spark are my favorite) and I guarantee you, all those lags with the multitask button and home button will be gone
Use akt app and use any profile in that according to your usage to remove lag
Have you guys ever experienced any lags in the UI?
Especially when I'm unlocking my phone, opening notifications shade or going to the recent apps screen (with gestures), it's like I'm using a very old device with a 1 GB RAM and It's driving me crazy!
I used to set up work profile using Shelter, turned off MIUI Optimisation (to have the REAL always-on display) and was using super wallpapers somehow and I thought it makes my phone slow.
Today I did a factory reset, and guess what, nothing was changed!
Even at the very first step which I didn't even install any applications, lags are clearly visible.
I'm using the stock ROM and never tried to unlock the bootloader or flashing custom recovery.
Please help me. I've tried any possible solutions including factory reset.
I even compared this device with a Mi Note 8 in the same condition and the Note 8 had a better performance. Or maybe these lags are normal on this device!
Do you have any idea?
Thanks.

On latest build(global rom) right. But it only happen when the battery level is below 60%. I noticed it and moved to custom rom because of it. Install cpu frequency monitoring app like devcheck, the big cores are turned off(hotplugged), that's the cause of lags. Above 60% battery, everything is normal(no hotplug). I have no idea how to fix it, assuming that it's a bug.
Yeah, the UI after 12.5.5 update definitely lags, which is disappointing.

Thanks dear gingerboy.
But it happens all the time, no matter how much the battery level is.
Which custom ROM do you prefer? Is it stable and completely bugless?
And also, do you know any app that can messure my device's performance and compare it with other's?

I use devcheck to see the cpu, not sure if there's any reliable benchmark app for ui. Currently using xperience project. Not much choices for our phone yet, so can't really suggest. The rom is stable enough for daily use, but camera is not perfect, need to use ported gcam for basic features (ultrawide cam etc).

I think I should wait for the next MIUI update, hope Xiaomi fixes those bugs. If not I'm going to flash some android 12 based custom ROMs when they've been developed at the stable stage.
Anyway, thanks for your help bro.

I'm using PE for couple of weeks. It's very smooth and fast, good battery life. There is unexplained occasional freezes, which I suspect is somehow related to YoutubeVanced (because that's mostly what I'm using when phone freezes). Other than that, it was best decision to move to PE.

I faced such crash issues with crDroid 8.2 and I'm not sure that's due to YoutubeVanced because I don't have this app.
Anyway, I'm going to flash Pixel Experience in some weeks and give it a try.
Does the camera work fine with no issues? Which camera app are you using?

I'm not using camera that much, but both stock camera (which has very little functionality) and Gcam for Mi11 lite works.
Honestly, flashing PE android 12 has fixed most of the issues I had with this phone (framedrops, weird miui power saving that limits some apps to 60hz for some reason, overall smoothness and speed, weird auto brightness...). Its just a better experience for this phone in my opinion. MIUI is only decent on phones with high end chips and even then its kinda bad.
I realised that using Super Wallpapers on xiaomi.eu ROM causes lags and bugs.
Lags are gone after I set another wallpaper.
So ...
That's it.

Never used Super Wallpapers myself, I doubt that was it.
In my opinion this version of miui 13 is still not working perfectly. I mainly noticed several problems with the smoothness of the system that don't exist in Miui version 12.5. Yesterday I installed the PE12 version and I have no complaints, great battery and performance.
