So I just got my 10.1 for Christmas (AWESOME wife!!) and noticed that it lags pretty bad on the stock TW. Is this normal and reason for me to root immediately?
Also happy that this is the perfect partner for my Note2

Don't want to thread jack, but I am in the same boat as you (awesome cousin /,,/) and the lagging is more than I expected it would. Curious to know if updating to 4.1.1 would be better or maybe a lite ROM without all the bloatware until the final version of 4.1.1 firmware is released by Samsung.
Merry Christmas!

In reply to both, i have galaxy tab 2 7.0, and found 4.0.4 lagged terribly. Fortunately i found the stock jelly Bean Samsung ROM on sammobile, and have never looked back.
The ROM is out for 10.1.......upgrade and decide for yourselves
I read multiple reviews but didn't believe it until I got my hands on it. Will start rooting it tonite.

The stock JB ROM is as good or better than anything out there. No need to root unless you have a reason. Rooting will prevent your getting future OTA updates. Removing so called bloat (one man's bloat is another's useful app) doesn't speed up anything. That's a placebo leftover from OG phones when they had precious little memory.
Non of the non-stock ROMs retain full function depending which model you have. For instance, CM10 loses IR blaster and may cause bluetooth issues. I recommend the stock JB, its great, although I never found the 4.0.4 ICS ROM to have much lag at all.

No. You could wait untill Samsung decides to push an OTA update. I don't know when that is going to happen for your country.
At the moment only Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United Kingdom received 4.1.1.

got it thx. I have a p5113 so I don't believe I can use this.
i got mine xmas too and soon as it found a network it asked to update. being a long time android user i fell into old practices of never updating till i was sure it was safe to do if i wanted to root etc. from what ive been reading it doesnt seem to be a lot of advantages to doing so

I had try almost all ROM for GTab 2 7 and believe me the stable version is Stock ICS 4.0.4
The JB 4.1.1 UI looks ugly to me and lag when in the transition from apps drawer to home screen. In ICS 4.0.4 everything smooth and fluid. I tried several custom ROM like CM10, CM9, KWBR, AOKP etc but the UI doesn't seems to please me.
So now I flash to Malaysia ICS 4.0.4 ROM, rooted and happy with that. Looking forward for JB 4.1.2 to resolve the lag issue.

You know what helps with "lagginess" ???
Not expecting a tablet to have instantaneous response with its little bitty CPU and small RAM. People should have realistic expectations for a $200 device.

What it needs is a custom kernel, but unfortunatelly there isn't one available yet for stock Jb rom, at least not for 10.1.
Or is there?
to help with the lag on the stock rom ( or any rom) you can change the windows and transition animations scale to .5x ...
under SETTINGS...DEVELOPER OPTIONS ...
Thanks, it does seem to make it little more responsive, but still not smooth.

force gpu rendering could help as well... they helped a bunch with my g2x with a similar processor
ok, we have a nexus, so we deserve updates and we have them....that's why we bought a nexus no?....
yes....but every update is a hit for our device's performance...I thought that last one would fix performance issues, but is not .
so...I bought one of these to my gf, sure that it would work well, I owned one a year ago and it was very good! nope....is slow, lags, remembers me a 100$ cheap tablet.
I considered to downgrade....is frustrating...what version do you remember as stunning fast, like a nexus should be?
4.1? damn, is too 2012-ish....
4.2? old but at least we have tiles on notification drawer...
4.3? good, some performance goodies, hw vsync...
4.4? I thought this would be the best choice because in theory is optimised for 512mb ram devices too....but was not performing well
5.0? don't say nothing...pff
I also read about f2fs as a revolution, but is not my tablet and my gf uses it for study and I can't take it to test...
thanks for reading and answering
My 2012 Nexus 7 (wifi) I had been on Android 4.4.4 when I updated to Android 5.0 using Wugs nexus root tool kit.
It had been sluggish on Kit Kat, but got more so when I went to Lollipop, even with a full wipe.
After about a week on 5.0 I rolled back to Android 4.3, and have been happy since.
Everyone is having different experiences and mine personally is that 5.0 is running greater for me then 4.4.4. That was with a complete full wipe (including data) when I flashed the image through wugs toolkit. There were initially bouts of lag (waking up screen, lock screen, etc) but the lags pretty much gone bar a few occasions. 5.0.1 will hopefully make the system more stable and not repeat what happened with 4.4.4 because my n7 ran like a pig after that update.

And how are you with 4.3? Perfect? I'm really considerino a downgrade....
I will try forma the last time a full wipe and factory image, and then downgrade until I'm satisfied.
No words about f2fs?
I have just updated my n7 to Slim rom 5.0.1.
I have been frustrated by not being able to read a simple email using gmail application. Lags, lags, and "gmail is not responding do you want to close it"
I need to have two accounts for me and my wife, so the performance was even more slow.
Now with f2fs it is a rocket. I have installed every toolvI wanted and now also the Godfire game, and I must admit that it was a hit.
So thank you google to slow our machines to force buying the new ones, but my nexus7 from 2012 acts lighning fast now.

Not sure if stock can be ran on f2fs.

No, I don't have it. I just asked is there slim lollipop on f2fs, because I tried rastapop and SleamFreak which are on 5.0 and have f2fs support, but I had problems like rebooting, problem with installing new apps, etc.
So for now, till I get answer from user emmyhi, I back to slimkat KK which run fantastic on our Nexus 7.

Yes, I can agree with you that is really fast, but I had a problem with gapps (downloaded one's give in thread) and I couldn't install Google play store (it wasn't installed with gapps???)
I couldn't resolve my problem with that, and also, even I did clean install I haven't got screen like I first time use this rom. I haven't got possibility to chose language, and everything else.

Did you try SlimGapps Normal one from the op link. That worked fine for me. You first flash the Rom. Boot. Go to recovery again. than flash Gapps. Boot. You will get the initialisation screen.
too much beta, I can't take my gf's tablet everytime she has a problem ahahah
I will try an evening every factory image and a kk f2fs rom to see which one performs better...then I'll let you know!
I'm running stock rooted 4.4.4 kitkat on mine with Lean Kernel 4.1. No lag, no issues with apps not working like on 5.0. Good battery life ,watched over 5 hours of movies last night and still had 49% left from a full charge. Standby time is excellent, I've only lost 2% over the last 9 hours.

that stock one with f2fs?
No, not here. Pure stock, rooted 4.4.4 KitKat. Removed a few Google apps I don't use, but still ext4. Lean Kennel really make a difference.
and....after a flashing afternoon....
4.2.2 stock was damn fast....
4.3 stock was even faster and smoother than 4.2.2
4.4 was worse......got better with lean kernel, but wasn't just fast and responsive enough.
the winner is....4.3......that's what I left on my gf's tablet....
everything runs good, apps opening instantly, look much 2013 but google launcher and google keyboard help...
this is my suggestion after my tests. good luck and hope next LP ota will fix some performance issues, not only on this one but for every phone which got slower with this update
I just installed official Touchwiz Lollipop from Samsung on my Galaxy S5 and i just wanted to ask you guys...
I think kitkat have a definitely better battery life and a much more beautiful lock screen... but Lollipop comes with ART and great design improvments on system apps.
Which one do you think it's better? Kitkat or Lollipop and why
KitKat is better (for now).
Better battery life, no proximity sensor issues, no wifi issues, no light sensor issues , TW works smoother, overal experience is better even with no ART. Benchmark scores is not everything.
I got Lollipop 3 times and every time I downgraded to KitKat stock rom with root.
No exposed framework on LP (yet).
Maybe in couple of months when LP will be more mature project I will update.
Android One is going to have Android 5.1 soon. For now they sticked with 4.4.4.
I think that Samsung was to hurry with 5.0. They should update to 4.4.4 (especialy they had 4.4.4 done for G901).
I beg to differ with qubbus, I think LP is a much better experience than KK.
- Much more refined and better looking UI;
- I've had none of the issues stated in his post. Battery is the same for me, no issues with the sensors.
- I indeed miss Xposed but for now I rather have the small tweaks of Lollipop.
All in all, the choice is yours.

Battery was the main reason i choosed to downgrade.. I couldn't get even through 1 day !
The rest was fine for me. ( Even if i didn't liked that new lockscreen too much )
i got my s5 on kitkat and coming from a nexus4 I was quite unsatisfied with the smoothness. but some dev's at the N4 community are really far at solving bugs and memory leaks so lollipop is running quite perfect on the N4. anyway, after I flashed lollipop on my S5 for the first time I was quite happy with the smoothness. much better then KitKat! yesterday I downgraded to KitKat because I wanted to try wanam xposed. but I almost instantly returned to lollipop.. much, much better! it looks better (too bad it's still a long way from stock android), it's much smoother and for me; battery life isn't much different. I didn't encounter any bugs, for me lollipop is running bug less but I have to say I don't use any of Samsung's extra features..

Yup, that's what a lot of people are doing after updating via KIES or OTA to Lollipop and finding it worse than KK
Im considering it myself, although don't seem to be having as many issues as others are posting since factory resetting and freezing a few bloatware apps
For me KK is better than Lollipop.
1. Most mods here don't work on Lollipop, yet
2. Xposed isn't supported on Lollipop (BIG ISSUE FOR ME)
3. Notification dropdown background is transparent. I know I can change it if I flash AllianceRom 6.0, but the above 2 points still stand
Gonna wait until Rovo fixes Xposed (hopefully) and for most mods on XDA to recieve a Lollipop version as well (some have it now, but not even close to all of them)
Soo.yeah...Lollipop is smoother and better looking, which means absolutely nothing if you can't mod it the way you want to!

If I wanna try Lollipop, can I restore my 4.4.2 nandroid backup over my 5.0 firmware just like I would normally if I'm on KK?

There seems to be a lot of conflicting info about it, but Ive read a good few people saying they have managed it fine with no problems after flashing back to KK - not done it myself yet though
But yea, a lot of places are saying if you flash from a KNOX enabled firmware back to a firmware without KNOX, it won't work due to the bootloader, but members here and droid central forums report it working 100% fine
Was there ever a build of KK that had KNOX ?
If yes, then that's likely the build people are flashing back to, if not, then I have no idea
Im still on the fence about flashing back, or just forgetting the warranty and rooting this thing on lollipop as it is
I suppose even if it bricked, you'd be able to recover with ODIN
I'm coming back to KitKat. I didn't like android lollipop. Some of the aplications are not supported and battery life is terrible
I have an At&t I337 being used with Cricket so I don't get any OTA Updates

I'll look it up I'm trying to stay clean and close to stock just not all the bloat
I have been using LL for about 5 months and could never get used to the lag. It was very faint but i could notice it. I tried the stock custom roms and the customs roms but was not able to find one that worked without lag. I also missed the status bar notifications on the lock screen. It was a pain always having to unlock it to see the notifications.
So i decided to go back to KK. I used CloudyG3 1.2 rom and KK modem/radio and am very pleased. Much smoother than LL. Status bar notification on lock screen is a godsend. It even seems like the display is a bit crisper. Maybe thats just my eyes playing tricks on me because i am so impressed with KK. anyways just wanted to tell you about my experience.
Yeap, it's your eyes! I have bought my g3 when lollipop was already on it so i haven't had the opportunity to test KK, but i have installed it 2 months ago out of curiosity.
Lollipop is definitely smoother and faster. If you search YouTube, there is a proof of that, with animations in Kk vs lollipop in slow-motion. You'll be going back in a few hours/days
Of course you think LL is smooth. You have nothing to compare it to. Without testing both of them first hand like I have your comments do not mean much. I went from KK to LL back to KK.
Read again what i have written. I have tested kk also, 2 months ago.
My comments don't have to mean something necessarily. Why did you start this post, if you are so easily offended? Lollipop is definitely better, smoother, faster than kk. You can start a poll, you will see you are wrong, lollipop will win by far. Haha. Over and out.
Dude I bought my LG G3 with Lollipop as well. Didn't have a chance to test Kitkat on it, but, I used to have Kitkat on my Nexus 5 and it was so much better than Lollipop I'm telling you. My LG G3 is laggy is hell and gets hot for no reason at all and the battery doesn't give me even a solid 3 hours SOT, I hate Lollipop. Can you please give me the link to download the CloudyG3 1.2 Kk ROM? I searched but I couldn't find it
I also would like to know where to find Kit Kat rom and baseband for downgrade. I looked in the forums but all links I found were offline. THank you.
Just a tip, but part of the heat issue that I have discovered and a decent remedy is if you are wherever and using WiFi- turn off cellular data because your phone is constantly searching for the strongest signal and I easily run 5°-10° cooler and my battery life is definitely better. I hated, and I mean despised LP for almost a year- and the past few months on my G2 and G3 it has grown on me, I don't get much lag that isn't associated with my own bs, maybe you just haven't tried the right LP rom yet?

Thanks for making me fall in love with my LG G3 all over again. Absolutely love Kitkat! No lag at all compared to Lollipop, battery is good and it only gets heated when I'm gaming on it. I'll stick with this ROM until a more stable Lollipop/Marshmallow release is available from LG.
Cheers :good:

Glad I could help. What I like most actually is I can see notifications on lockscreen again. Woohoo

Yes I love that as well!
Btw do you keep using Dalvik or did you switch to ART? Because I just switched to ART and the phone becomes kinda unusable, some apps don't wanna launch and the phone became kinda laggy. Should I just stick with Dalvik?

I've always stuck with Dalvik just because never really noticed a difference.

Yes but make sure it is the right version modem. Not sure what it is for the UK. I used the international modem.
I would recommend an AOSP Lollipop build (BlissPop for example) running at 1080P. QHD makes zero difference at this screen size and running at 1080P the phone flies, not to mention a (marginally) better battery life.

If you don't use the camera maybe this not a terrible idea. The stock Kit Kat rom is definitely faster and much much much more stable. And you can use the laser focus and full camera features. Plus the IR blaster. If you disable the stock apps you don't use, its a way better choice than the featureless ASOP roms.
hi there, im using stock rooted lollipop rom v20h, i want to try KK rom to compare but which modem is for international model ? i cannot tell which is best for me cause when i got my phone 2 weeks ago it came with lollipop.
can anyone recommend on a suitable modem pls ?
thanks.

I am also planning to downgrad to Kk.
Just downgraded my d855, to kk. Cloudy 1.2, it 4.4.2 kk rom seems to run fine imso used to lollipop that it feels a bit weird. I used 10o modem which felt not so good for my device. Then put 10i modem and its great. Now im looking for a good kernel.
Ill test itforfew days and see how i feel compared to stock lollipop. 5.0
