TW Lag an phone Lag... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

No matter what TW Rom I'm in I get lag either scrolling thru the main screens or in the menu..Only does it on TWlauncher...well also here an there I get lag..really like this phone but not real impressed with performance...

Run an aosp/cm/aokp for now and the lag will be gone. Or you can run a rebloated touvhwiz ROM. Or run a custom kernel and overclock. Or just get a different phone if it bugs you that much.

My suggestion is to upgrade to MDL (if you haven't already) and flash a custom TW kernel. This makes a world of difference over stock for smoothness and battery life is still great (depending on the kernel settings used). Other thing you can try is lowering the animation scale in developer options.

How I find Developer options lol

In About Phone tap your build number 7 times to unlock dev options. Then hit the back button tap dev options and scroll down, if you don't want any animations just turn the three off.

Never had lag issue with the S3 or the note on TW...Samsung really needs to get this phone running like butter right out of the box ya know...

It takes time. The gs3 was not smooth and neither was the gs2 when it first came out. And with updates it slowly becomes better. Be patient.

i had some bad lag when i was stock.. but now that im running a custom rom and kernel it is just about gone now.. yea i kno people shouildnt have to flash a custom kernel or rom to get rid of the lag but im sure samsung will fix soon

Ya I'm rooted running premium ROM using nova launcher...but this phone should not lag at all...there has to be a major update coming from Samsung I would think...lol for this nice of a phone...

You can always flash the crossbreeder mod....it eliminated all lag on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150

Ya I did the developer options transition scale trick that helped with two launcher lag but I still get a ton when writing long emails in TBD stock email app. A lot of times the keyboard can't keep up AMD gets stuck behind after about a paragraph of typing. Super annoying.

It personally sickens me that we have to do anything to this phone to get it to work well for us. Samsung needs to fix these issues and make this phone fly like it should with the hardware in it. No changing developer options or using a custom kernel or tweaking.

Very much agreed. i personally have minimal lag....there obviously should be none. Hopefully when the next update finally drops the lag will be taken care of.

I had the same issue but once I rooted, removed bloat, disabled some apps and installed a custom kernel all the lag is gone. I'm running No Frills CPU to control the CPU and I have it set at Max 1998GHz, Min 378MHz, Governor= Performance, I/O scheduler= deadline. Not having any issues with battery either. Works Great!
Also I noticed that S Voice was never mentioned. You have to uninstall it or make it so the home button doesn't activate it.

I'm running ktoonz 7/2 kernel with all his settings. Wow it gets rid of all the lag. Plus the phone don't run so hot like it does stock. Nice and cool and fast. I get 24-30+ hours before battery swap. I was also very pissed that out of the box this phone is kind of ****ty. Thanks to our great devs its fixed

I don't see much of a performance improvement (I don't think there should be one, either), though if you do wipes anyway you're going to avoid a lot of slowdowns.
Shame about the new boot animation, though. I kinda dug the colorfulness of the last one. This is a little too bluish, wooshy, scifi looking, like a wonky portal effect from 10 years ago. Reminds me of the unfortunate tastes that gave the mod community a few too many Matrix themes.

You can change the boot animation back to the old one if you want to. The new alpha-5 boot animation caused me to have a seizure so I found the bootanimation.zip file and replaced the new one with the old one lol
Just get the bootanimation.zip file from one of the previous versions of CM9 (/system/media) and replace.

It's crazy what these guys have done.. I don't know if I could even replace my Epic 4G with anything that's out right now.. We have the only qwerty device on Android 4 on the planet.. ICS, Wimax, and an Overclocked hummingbird makes this phone arguably better than the Droid 4..
I don't know if it's just happening to me, but my phone's time is all over the place. The lock screen stays perfect, but the status bar one stays stuck & I have a widget that lags even longer!

Recommendations to make better our SGS3 in every way possible

I would like to create a single post where we comment on recommendations to make better and faster and more reliable our phones, ways to decrease the RAM usage, extend battery life, useful tricks, etc.
- Disable all animations
- Disable buttons lights
- Download app named multitask shortcut
- Download SwiftKey 3 and Swype
- Use as less possible widgets and live wallpapers to avoid homescreen refresh
- Disable touch vibrations
Any other useful tips for making better the Galaxy S 3 experience are welcome.

I used to use touchwiz, but can't stand the slow transition, even after making the adjustment under development in settings.
Then i install Nova launcher, turn transition to the fastest. Wow, now my phone has over 300 mb free ram after boot up and is fast. And I mean real fast. For those who need speed. Go with Nova, and you retain most of the touchwiz features, like smart stay.

The stuttery Beast

Is it because of the JB update my S3 stutters just by pressing settings or just by pressing settingsmenu button. Everything just stutters a little bit. Opening the appdrawer, the phone stutters or is to slow for the animation.
I tried 0,5x animation, didnt get better.
What should i do?
Is the beast supposed to act like this?

It is most likely your device. My phone doesn't lag or stutter at all. It's smooth and fast. Even with Energy Saver Mode turned on it is still OK.

As I said, NO LAG!
Unfortunately I have no concrete advice regarding menu key. One thing I found usefull though, is to clean autostart from unneeded apps.
In OP shoes i would full wipe and install stock firmware .
jjue
You can try the leaked rom 4.1.2. It works very well with siyah 1.8 kernel or any stock 4.1.1 roms.
Just remember to full wipe before and after flashing any roms. (Just a safety procedure.)
I was just soooo pissed off today.....i went to my providers centwr and saw they started selling SIII mini, i swear-it was faster than my S3 which is running on 4.1.2 leak (wanamlite 5) and 1.8 siyah with some minor tweaks from stweaks, seriously, im kind of dissapointed, some mid end device is faster than flagship-this isnt normal

I had some of those problems - some menus not as fast or smooth as the s3 mini in a store, the application manager crashing and stuff
- jb 4.1.1 stock unrooted - factory wipe after update from ics
So I went through and deleted all apps that I don't use, particularly apps with back ground processes like widgets (animated weather widget apps for example) and then after clearing ram as well, the application manager would work, so I went through and disabled Samsung stuff that looks unimportant
Now it all just blazes, so fast.

FYI odexed rom's a bit faster

Now that I have root access, what can I do to make this phone faster?

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often

Beans ROM, Hyperdrive, ButterBoost, or Stock.

I've tried all three and really can't decide which one I like the most. Which on are you using and why?

I've been using Hyperdrive since the first build came out for Note 3 and the thing I like most about it is the battery life. I unplug at between 5 and 7am and by the time I go to bed at night I'm usually still around 75 - 80%. Of course it runs much smoother for me than stock does and I like the customizations that come along with it as well. I tried to flash Beans last night just to check it out but for some reason it wouldn't boot so I just restored my nandroid. I'm planning on flashing Beans when I get a little more time and checking it out but for now I'm extremely pleased with Hyperdrives performance on my device.
Eclipse
Im gonna wait on Nitro and his fabulous eclipse rom, it will be awesome, right now running stock trimmed out.
Try both and see if you like either one better than stock.
I basically switch everyday cause they're both so good

Might as well do this. With SafeStrap, you can load up multiple ROMS and switch as your heart desires. Honestly, don't know why phones with unlocked bootloaders don't have a Recovery that allows ROM slots. Seems to make perfect sense so you can load up more than one ROM. Just like partitioning your hard drive and running Windows on one side and Linux on the other. You can chose what you want to use, when you want to. Cant beat it.
But to answer your question, I am running HyperDrive since version 1. Havent really tried Beans. Sure it runs just as good. I am just happy with Hyper right now.
Stock with xposed framework and modules. While i appreciate everything the dev's do, development is not far enough along to leave stock with xposed yet.
Also on stock with too many mods in xposed to count. I seriously can't see any reason to flash a rom. I'm consistently getting up to 2 days uptime and I have all the mods I could ever want.

So i struggled for the longest time why one rom on my phone would play nicer than the other , if they both use the same base.
So I formulated a theory , which can be really wrong , so take it with a grain of salt: Currently I have close to 120 user apps and wanam xposed with multiple customizations. I feel like your set is up is the reason why one rom will be buggy with poor battery life and other will be phenomenal. That is why you will find people swearing with one and hating the other. It is hard to find a perfect rom for all, since android varies tremendously due to its wonderful inherent ability to be customized.
of course you can also argue for coding, build boxes and smali skills.
which goes back to the main point, you need to try it out because compatibility between the developer's build and your set up is key to the perfect rom combination
so dont be startled if you try a rom that others rave about and it sucked on your phone , just move on and vice versa.

If you aren't using SafeStrap 3.65, you're missing out on the ability to test up to 5 ROM's at once. If you are, my apologies for misunderstanding your post.

I cant get hyperdrive to download from anywhere. I ran beans on my note 2 but wanted to try something else

Tried beans and didn't provide that much customization. And battery was horrendous on all of the builds for me. Hyperdrive has more customization way way way better battery for me and I'm beta testing for him.

Yes, I have the latest version of SafeStrap and I know you can flash multiple ROMs at once.
I'm shocked this thread hasn't been closed already.

I totally agree with you there. My battery life on HyperDrive is ridiculous. I can go almost two days before I need to plug my phone in. I'm very satisfied with HD and don't plan on switching anytime soon. I ended up staying on RLS2 cause my theme was causing my phone to reboot whenever I pressed the lock button after I took the RLS3 update, but overall HD is a very solid ROM and I'm quite content with it.
I just recently flashed the newest hyperdrive update RLS3 On 11/27 I'm having problems on the power menu doesn't show the power off also in the very top next to the clock it shows a lock icon what is it there for and can I remove it

Also in the very top left corner how do I turn that off were it shows my speed?
I found out how to add toggles to power menu.
