Nitro HD performance

Hello everyone,
I am currently an Atrix 4G user and have the phone running on CM7. It is running silky smooth, super fast and has no lags whatsoever. Now I am really interested in getting the Nitro HD but from what I have been experiencing while playing around with in the store is that the UI seems to lag/stutter every now and then. At times, it even takes a second or two to react and change screens. I'm just worried that I will be disappointed with its performance and being stuck with it for at least a year.
Anybody is having these stutter/lag issues on their phones or is just this test phone at the store that's crappy?

I have one and unfortunately it does annoying little lags and hang ups all over the place. I even rooted, removed all bloat have very little running and it will still lag. the hardware is so fantastic, I'm just praying we get some developer support cause this hardware deserves better !

have u tried a different launcher?? The one that comes stock sucks.

Turning off animations under display settings seems to help a little

I also experience lag on this phone. Have rooted and removed bloatware and running a different launcher. I also hope there will be developer support for this phone a my Inspire with virtuous ROM is smoother than this phone right now.

Yes, currently using ADW EX. Have also tried Launcher Pro+ and Go Launcher. It lags with everything. No matter what browser i use for example, it always lags and hangs on the back button or scrolling half way through a page it will stall for a second then kick in.

was there ever a CM7 release for any of the LG phones of the same family as the Nitro?? if there was, then it shouldn't be too difficult for them to create one for this phone. I think other than the resolution stressing the phone, I also think it's just bad coding on LG's part.

do a privacy > factory data reset
and the lags will be gone!

i agree. i also did a hard reset as well. i am very impressed with the performance of this phone.

I rooted the phone, did a hard reset, shut off unwanted AT&T and LG bloat processes and switched launcher to ADW. I also switched my main browser to Opera... Now running very smoothly!
Edit: guys don't confuse a factory reset vs. a hard reset. Factory rest will only wipe your personal data and you access this through the settings menu. A hard reset restores the phone and is started by holding the volume down, home and power keys while the phone is off.

Now its getting interesting, I'm almost assured to upgrade to it. Would anybody mind uploading a short video just to show how the lag is gone pls?

Sure - I made a quick video about the results of my attempts to optimize the phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWA68pHzhMo&feature=youtu.be
(Sorry couldn't fig. out how to embed vid). All the steps I took to get this phone working to this point can be found here. The other thing I did not mentioned on that post is that I no longer use Go Launcher and now use ADW since it performs better.

What Widgets you using I must say it looks legit the way you have set up.

when i did the hard reset it deleted the HD pictures and video that came pre-installed, fyi.
also, i've decided there's no reason for me to root mine, this thing is smooth as silk. very nice device.

Yes, it definitely doesn't burn through 10-15%/hr now. I used to take it off the charger around 7:30am and I'd come home around 7 to -10%. Now I come home w/some medium usage and I'll still at least have 30-40%.

Scott,
I would like to know your experience with the phone. It had lots of lag in the corp store, guess you had the same lag when you got it as well? What have you done besides a hard reset? You using stock browser? How is the battery life and have you done anything to improve it?
Everyone,
I tested the Nitro and it had lag in the corp store. It was very noticeable mainly when you pinch and zoom in/out of graphics heavy websites. I really want to like this phone but the battery life and lagging kill this thing. I'm looking for a phone and right now I am leaning towards the samsung skyrocket as it has none of these problems and has great dev support. No 720p though. However, I loaded up a 1080p video on youtube and compared the two phones side by side but did not see that much difference. I was expecting to be blown away. I don't know if it was is my eyes or if the screen is just too small to make a big difference.
I wouldn't want to root the phone. However, I don't mind doing a hard and factory reset or other things as long as I can do it without rooting. Seems like some are having success by doing just factory and hard resets.
I'd like to know some of the experiences of other Nitro users before making making my decision.

I I didn't really have any lag with the phone. There was some lag at first. From the homepage to the apt page. I am speaking this in fact. its doing pretty good interpreting my words. I deleted the at&t bloatware that could be deleted. I did a hard factory reset. I installed go launcher and pro amP. Antutu attached. Fantastic song gorgeous screen Still a valuating battery seems to drains quickly. I'm very happy With this phone

That's great! Did you do a quadrant benchmark after your optimizations? Also, while browsing graphic-heavy sites with Opera, do you experience lag while pinch zooming?

did a factory reset.... dramatic difference in how smooth it is now.

[Q] Can I get a ROM that WORKS???

To anyone that knows of a ROM that is 100% functional INCLUDING S PEN!
The ROM I have now doesn't have a working radio so I can't even use my data plan to download anything (sometimes doesn't even wake back up when it goes to sleep). The home internet is constantly blinking in and out, making downloading large files tedious; so if you are positive you know a ROM that has everything functioning (as if it just shipped from the factory!) and de-bloated then please please, do tell!
I'd like this to be a one-shot download kind of thing rather than having to download a mess of things, once I get something that works again then I don't care how many ROMs you suggest.
PS: Are the Note II ROMs naturally huge??? I have seen some as high as 1GB

Have you tried reading through the development section for comments as to what works and what doesn't for each ROM? There are loads that work. And yes, many are quite large.

Android Revolution by Mike1986 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925402) works flawlessly and is as you described. Near stock but completely debloated and optimized for better battery life and faster. Version 10.0 was just released yesterday with some updates.
If i ever need to use a Samsung ROM, i always use Android Revolution as i know it simply works.
Samsung ROMs are normally around 800 MB to 1 GB, completely normal.

I'll give it a go then! and I just wanted to be sure they were supposed to be that large, the SII I had had ROMs around 300-500 avg so when I saw SpaceX2's 900-something and another at 1.4GB my eyes nearly popped out of my skull and jaw slapped a hole in the floor LOL
but just to be clear, the S-Pen functions are normal then? Reason I got this phone was to do my illustrations on the go (Sketchbook Pro and Photoshop stuff) and if I can't us it then it was a waste lol

Why not stick to stock? Custom roms are nice if you are looking for certain features, but they often come at the expense of being less compatible with certain apps and for the note specifically, you lose apps like s-note.

A number of reasons, really.
~While stock is wicked fast and no doubt stable, too many apps run in the background. I did a memorydump once and at any given time (after its sat idle for about 2min) there are usually 40-50 or more apps running in the background.
~Want to be able to continue using Google Wallet (started using it on my Nexus 7 and instantly fell in love). This Isis crap that the carriers are forcing us to use seems like the works of a halfwitt jacked up on drugs and their rollout methods are awful.
~Apparently the stock ROM with all the bloat/branding sucks up the onboard memory like it's going out of style. I don't even use most (if any) the carrier junk but I can't delete them. Thats where de-bloated and slimmed-down-to-essentials ROMs come in for me
~Ability to fully customize how I want MY phone to look and react rather than be just another carbon copy with the rest of the crowd. You wouldn't believe how many people, that have gotten a good look at my old SII w/ SBean AOKP, oooh & ahh over some visual features I could do that they couldn't, especially with battery readouts rather than guessing what percentage you're at with that vague battery bar.
That's just scratching the surface but come-ooooon! This is XDA, what are the majority of us here for anyway?
The Revolutions ROM mentioned above sounds promising and the fellow said all the stock things worked, including the phone's signature ability, the Wacom digitizer and S Pen. Without that working, thats like selling me a factory fresh Porsche but minus all the bits that make it go

Is it normal that the installation keeps freezing around the bit about efs backups?

Man i stupid threads like this.
"Waaa waaa my FREE rom doesnt work boo hoo...."
First off if I was a dev and saw this thread id be like "fu then enjoy your stock rom bish"
Its one thing if a rom is bricking your phone cuz the dev did no tests bit seriosly , your title really is unfair.
You shoukd read a luttle more about custom roms as this is the nature of "custom roms".
Why dont you make your own rom??
Oh dont know how?
Dont have the time?
EXACTLY
the roms are free and the devs work for free, so dont bash them when things dont go the wsy you want.
/rant
Much respect to all devs who put out ANY ROM.
Now diaf.

Need Help
Hi.....all....i just got this amazing phone last 2 weeks, and this is really good phone. And i just root it too.
I wanna change the custom ROM with Omega ROM, and change the Kernel too.
My question in here is : I can flash the custom ROM ?? Or i must unroot first ? And sorry, i really newbie about that, flashing or wht.
Thanks for advice
NB : I feel my baterry drain faster with the new firmware of that (

I hear you. I was into custom ROM's for many devices, but I found the problems with incompatibilities to be too much of a hassle to use on "daily driver" devices - especially my phone, which I use for business.
Now, I use Titanium to freeze bloatware and system apps that I don't want running. I use the Xposed framework mod to get unlimited multiwindow apps on my Note2 as well as add other features like per-app settings (dpi, full screen, resolution, etc.). I use a Nova Launcher instead of touchwiz, and several other tweaks on my stock firmware.
I found this to be the best option for ME, because the stability on my phone is perfect, battery life is great and I know that all apps will work properly.
Good luck on your quest to find the best rom - you'll likely have to try a bunch before settling down

They're not, the T-Mobile Note II has a dedicated forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1877
GSM Arena says : The device will have a model number SGH-T889 and will reportedly pack the same specs as the international Galaxy Note II (except for the LTE connectivity, of course). Feel free to check out our preview of the Note II for more details on the device.
The most common problem after crossflashing is losing signal. You have to flash a compatible ROM now, maybe even restore your efs partition.

Root is required of you want to get the most out of your device. If you want to "freeze" apps on an unrooted device, go to your application manager in your device settings, click on the system app you want to "freeze" and select disable. If you don't see the disable button, then click Uninstall updates first. Use this with caution as freezing or disabling important apps may cause problems.
Xposed requires root, but it doesn't mess up your system like some hardwire mods which replace system files can do.

Using ART

Hi, I'm just installed SlimKat and I have to say that is great to be an alpha. I start this thread to ask you if anyone has tried to use the new ART. I tried but after restart (it takes a very long time to do this) things doesn't go right. I can't do anything because notificantions of failed processes not stop to appear.
Have anyone got better luck than me with ART?

U need a 3.4 kernel I believe. Which is not a available.... Yet.

I think no, if you running ART without gapps, it will running well...

You uses the wrong gapps (though I don't know where the right ones are). Nexus 4 also has this problem, but some odexed gapps package found over there seem to solve it.

I tried, by flashing odex gapps. The ram usage was only 250-300mb, almost 400-450mb left, on a fully usable phone, with 85-90 apps installed. But I kept getting user app fc's. whatsapp fc'ed, n some other apps also fc'ed. So i reverted. But it was really fast, really really fast and smooth.

[Q] Recent Apps lag

Is anyone else annoyed at the 2-3 second delay in showing recent apps that I experience from time to time. As a matter of fact it never opens very fast, at least 1-2 seconds. If so is there a fix our should I hope that when lollipop comes to the note 4 it will fix it.

There is a noticeable delay with mine as well.

Moved to Q&A.

This has happened to me but in every aspect of the phone. Rooted, no xposed, and only non-essential bloatware/update services uninstalled.
It is only for 1/2 a second or so, but the phone glitches like it is thinking hard then will complete the action. I even unrooted and reflashed my stock rom backup and still have it.
Probably going to return it today or tomorrow as my 14 day grace period ends. Pretty sad. I've tried just about everything to get it to stop and thought my stock rom would solve the problem, alas, no.

Still stock and not rooted (yet) and have the same annoying lag. Everything else is quick though.

It's the only issue i have with the phone, everything else has been great. I'm sure this will be addressed in a future update unless it's that way for a reason.

Same here. Hope they do something about it.

I've noticed mine is doing the same.. Is there a Task Manager app available that will allow you to see apps running in real time similar to that which comes with Windoze operating systems? In my opinion, this would help me see what is actually lagging when it does lag.

I found this from another thread here at XDA.. Am going to give it a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56320983&postcount=2

The link above is actually the fix for Xposed framework causing lag. Might help. Another help is turning off the animation which adds 1.5 seconds. Goto Settings/About phone/tap the build# several times until it declares you have developer options. Open developer options from the settings menu and find the animations and set to 0. Now the delay is down to one second even with Xposed framework. Solved.
One more thing, the build.prop may also need to be modified if running rooted stock. It took some googling and fixing but I finally got ADB working with the Starkissed kernel, ADB insecure and build.prop mods.

I don't have exposed installed and I have the lag as well. Watched and applied the fixes on this video and my Note 4 is way quicker! Totally amped!

Strange, have you always had the same lag or has it gotten worse? After those few changes mine is very responsive. I'm also not using TouchWiz, I'm using Nova Launcher. Wonder if that makes a difference.
Are you rooted? I've heard some strange things about lag after rooting which does not make me happy. This is probably the longest I've gone without rooting and I'm getting the itch

this phone out of the box does not lag . Rooting has nothing to do with it. IT'S what you have done either before or after rooting. Check yourselves gentleman it's something you have done..

Strange, have you always had the same lag or has it gotten worse? After those few changes mine is very responsive. I'm also not using TouchWiz, I'm using Nova Launcher. Wonder if that makes a difference.
Are you rooted? I've heard some strange things about lag after rooting which does not make me happy. This is probably the longest I've gone without rooting and I'm getting the itch

The lag is better but not as smooth as my Note 3 on cm11.

I am the first to admit personal fault, and I'd like to admit fault as to something I've done, but I have Odin flashed the stock rom and recovery back on the phone, and the issue is still apparent. Maybe the phone is not properly wiping data on a factory reset(also wiped everything in TWRP before using Odin to wipe the phone) causing a file to stick around regardless of Odin, but it is troubling and annoying to say the least.
Since I'm out of the 14 day period, here is hoping we get a developer to build a unified AOSP ROM in the near future.

Stock rom or lollipop rom?

Right now I'm running cloudy's rom (4.4.2). I have xposed and a few tweaks going on. I'm just a little bored and after playing with my husbands nexus 6 i really like lollipop. Do any of the lollipop roms have major issues? I really like the g3 apps like qslide and quick memo but i might sacrifice those for lollipop lol. What are your views about stock vs lollipop.

t mobile is in testing stage of lollipop for the g3. I suggest to wait a little longer.

Honestly it depends on what you want out of it. I put it on and I got crazy download speaks compared to KK. The downside is the IR blaster, knock code, and quick circle no longer work, and in my experience unless there's a kernel leak or some dev really tries to get it to work, you just have to learn to live without some of those OEM hardware features.
Other than those three things (and the rest of the phone's bloat, although the stock launcher was pretty) I've had no major issues with 5.0.2 (tried both Illusion and AOSPAL.)
My advice is install TWRP if you haven't already and back up the phone. Copy that backup somewhere safe so you always have it just in case you format the wrong thing or delete it on accident. Then flash and try whatever you want, if you hate it download something else and flash that. If you hate that too just restore that backup and all is well. Although I'd do it late at night when you're not expecting any calls.

As far as I can tell, anything CM12 based will support themes, because CM12 supports themes.
Other than that I can't tell you what to try. I'm pretty sure that the G3 will get stock L eventually unless T-Mo just forgets about it in favor of newer phones. You might like that better than CM12 for the features that would then work. Personally I don't run GAPPS and avoid anything proprietary if possible. What I want out of a ROM might not be the same as what you want.
What I'm saying is do your homework on the ROMs, read the threads in the dev section (and on other sites) and see which ROM works for you with all the features you want. That's why I said try multiple ROMs.
I'm using Illusion because I like (mostly) black UI elements because I like to use my phone at night and a black background is easier on the eyes. Other than that I have no good reason for picking that over any other LP ROM.
Anyway, good luck.
