Firstly it is not my responsibility if your your phone gets bricked or whatever.
On the lighter side, ive done this on my own phone and im getting a quadrant score of 1900+
OK
1) You need to be rooted to continue so go here if you have'nt already rooted your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987169
you also need to have about 820mb free space
NOTE: do remember to restart your phone once after the rooting is complete
2)you need to get one click lagg fix by Kryptyx from the market
3) After downloading the app open it...it will check for the available options
4)Click on "Install EXT2 tools" and let it install the stuff
Now after the process is complete we need to go back to the options page
5) Now we have to choose ONE CLICK LAGG FIX V1+ (NOT v2.2) otherwise your phone will get corrupted.
let the settings be the default ones(leave them as they are)
Thats it!! Hopefully now you'll have better optimised phone
YOU WILL BE DOING IT ON YOUR OWN RISK AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE
feel free to ask any questions as this must be done strictly according to the instrctions
Best of luck
Thank me if i helped you ^^!
frankly useless unless you want to spike your quadrant scores..........sgsl doesnt need a lagfix.
and be warned removing the lagfix might be a real headache.
thanks for guide
Have you noticed any difference ?
i know there are occasional lags in i9003 does it remove them completely ?

there are no occasional lags unless you open too many apps together & leave them open, in which case the ram usage goes too high & any phone will lag.
I am on DdKb1 no lagfix applied.

plus if we flash the same firmware again it will undo thelagfix right? or the update wont be possible?Plus a factory reset would do the trick or not?

I read it in i9000 posts somewhere that lagfix should be removed while flashing else it bricks the phone.
I do see occasional lags if i have a few apps open but i never let my ram usage go over 368mb. is this normal ?

its hard to remove the thing totally.the process leaves traces.i did this quite sometime back. uninstalling the app doesnot help either when you reinstall it it shows you things are still installed.the fix changes the boot animation of the sgsl and even a reset from the recovery mode didnot get the old animation back.all in all i personally donot think the lagfix helped at all except for massive spikes in the quadrant score.i had to reflash to remove it completely mainly because it had some problem with my vplayer app.video playback on vplayer became choppy after the lagfix.
if you want a more zippy ui i would suggest you give a shot at more lightweight launchers.
Nice guide will try it

You are so right ....it took a whjile but i did it....after 3 hours of frustration i was sucessfully able to unistall and reinstall it
if anyone wants to know how to uninstall it then tell me....
Maybe you can edit your first post and put the un-installation guide along with it.
It'll save time and will be convinient to find installation & un-installation steps side by side for our fellow i9003 users.

really didnot notice any difference with the lagfix installed.....atleast on realtime performance.never had any lag issues with my sgsl till now(maybe because i use very few widgets) so didnt see any use for the lagfix at all.
but now according to ritvik antutu scores goes up.............so might be something to it.but contradictory to his statement i remember another sgsl user "trip007in" stating he didnot notice any difference in scores while trying antutu with the lagfix.

I tested 3 times just to check if there could be an error but it isn't , my antutu scores show i9003 (XXKB3 fw) to be higher than i9000.
Feels good but wondering how is it possible since all I have been reading that i9000 has better hardware than i9003.
In the bar chart it shows as My device:2083, what does that mean?
It will be higher, because you have applied lag fix which increases the database score dramatically. Hence . You would get a normal database i/o score of around 100.
Hmm great I wil also try
Antutu score without lag fix will be 2000 and above in sgs sl. We have already published our scores in rex.s thread. Lag fix improves only quadrant score by twice. Yes, our scores are higher than sgs.

But it has been already said that lagfix can only improve the antutu benchmark score and nothing else? Is that so?
@sgsl
Did u tried uninstalling lagfix? I think many are having trouble in uninstalling it.
Hmm for undo the lagfix the hard reset or factory reset will be the option and I have also tried to undo it but it says playlogos.bin is not found so to undo ther lagfix I have to hard reset my phone

No i didn't try removing it, but read here on xda forum about the playlogos.bin, in one of those thread someone discussed a root application which could restore the playlogos.bin & then you can remove the lagfix.
I cant find that thread as of now but do remember that the app was some kind of root tool or root file manager.
Otherwise the only method left is hard reset or factory reset.
No dude, it does not improve antutu score. My personal experience is lagfix only improves quadrant scores. Further These scores have no relationship with improvement of user interface and fluid experience. So no point in using lag fix.
@sgs not sure if factory reset can remove lag fix. The only way may be to reflash.

Just to reverify, I ran antutu, now, my score is 1955. slightly low compared to yours. The difference is in I/O SCORE, which is slightly higher sure to lagfix. But for quadrant score doubles after applyong lag fix.

I think, you would switch to a GB ROM. It gives you better scores and is pretty fast!
Saw this while reading my rss feeds and decided to give it a try. Overall the sidekick was slow when switching between apps and when going back to home screen(screen takes time to redraw-icons and widgets)
This script was pretty easy to do/apply and is supposed to work on stock and custom roms. Obviously its working for me on ayoteddys gingerclone with root.
I suggest you all try this out. Multitasking has become more satisfying.

Are the settings sticking after reboot? Did I do something wrong? Because when I switch orientation in GoLauncher EX widgets still refresh at the same speed before applying the script.

So far I'm happy with Agressive 1. There's still that slight lag on the lock screen, and the Jump Menu is still laggy, but it's definitely a big improvement over the pre-supercharged performance.

This is a low risk script, you have more of a chance of screwing things up from rooting/flashing roms and the dev is trusted. Just make sure you read instructions and are confident when taking the steps and you will be fine. I've only tried one setting "aggressive 1" but so far so good and I will be testing another later and reporting differences.
Dunno what 3g turbocharger is, I might give it a shot but if it has to do with internet connection I'm in a wifi or 4g zone 99% of the time so a 3g booster wouldn't do anything for me.

I didn't use the visual tutorial, but it sounds like you used the same method I did. You should DEFINITELY notice a difference so it sounds like it's maybe it didn't work. I am on gingerclone with launcherpro so it could possibly be a golauncher issue, is anyone else running with golauncher?

I just tried golauncher and it seems to be working just as fast as adw and launcher pro when using this script. Do u have that task manager widget that comes with golauncher? try taking that off.
What about returning to home screen after running a couple of app... does your go laincher still take time to load?
Performance should be noticeable after running script.

I will try uninstalling the Go task widget. Returning to the homescreen has always been fast ever since running the script. So that I did notice.
As for the minfree keeping their settings after reboot, I ran that 99-whatever.sh file as a script, found in root-data, and ran as root and boot as troubleshooted in the help html file in the sd root. But I took that off and will unSuperCharge and SuperCharge again just to start clean.
EDIT: Btw, having task managers will interfere with the script, that's you asked about the Go Launcher task manager, right? If so, I'm using ZD Box, which is a multi-feature app, such as task killer, password protection, 3G monitor, battery status, and more. Will having this installed interfere much with the script?
I am of course referring to this script:

I posted it here because I am asking about LG G2x users. In the script thread, you won't find questions about specific devices so much. It's more on how to install, what does it do, and so on.
I tried it didn't bootloop or anything but I didn't notice any difference in performance etc.
I just started using the V6 supercharger about a month and a half ago on my LG G2x and have loved it. before this i was running minfree to change presets but I like V6 because it has lots of options for those that don't fully understand what the presets do. If you use a low setting you probably wont notice much of a difference and I must say that I notice the biggest difference when I am overclocked and using V6 at the same time. If I'm not overclocked and using V6 I don't notice much. same thing when I am just overclocked without V6, not much of a diff. Both together seem to be great.
Also to those with boot loop problems - how long are you leaving your phone before you decide it has looped...a few times i have just had to walk away from my phone for 15-20 minutes just so I'm not tempted to pull the battery and every time i have left it alone i come back to everything running fast, smooth and stable.

Yeah, "I get a performance gain when I'm overclocked with the script, but get no performance gain without OC and the script" so that would be the placebo effect.
However, V6 SuperCharger does work very well at setting the right OOM groupings and also makes everything a lot smoother for me. I'm underclocked to 750mhz and get the performance of the stock 1ghz.

Eh, maybe, if you're on a lower end phone, I think the effect would be more noticeable as well, it would also be noticed if you ran alot of apps at once since multi tasking will take up more RAM than for someone like me who listens to music and browses the forum and maybe uses maps if I don't feel like paying attention to where I am at on the bus.

All true, but in hypocrats case it is complete placebo since he is using the lower setting.
He says he notices a performance gain with overclocking and the script, but none without overclocking and the script. Performance gain was all overclock.
But the higher settings work well, the script makes everything smooth, even for me at 750mhz, and will fix OOM groupings.
Maybe, but my battery life is better in standby and I have less issues with the stock internet browser. Below 100mb free and it became very buggy for me. I would love it if everyone shared what rom they are using and their settings. I am using close to the recommended settings.I am using New Clip (weapon based) and #5 unleaded.

how did u do it?Did u use rom toolbox
And this belongs in the development section why?
My recommendation to you is to lower that back. The way it works is that it allows an application to store a maximum of that much memory. Setting it high would force it to garbage collect much later which means more CPU cycles for the app. Bad thing is low RAM and bad multitasking as said by murad. Setting it low would cause it to garbage collect much sooner so better multitasking but worse performance. Overall this doesn't really affect performance that much unless making an app use up the whole of the phone like OP did which is an obviously bad thing.
64 is good and don't change it unless you are just testing.

Very bad idea to take all the system ram and put it in dalvik heap.. way to much.. 64mb is default, if you take all ram for heap then everything will be preloaded by default. this may result in some faster loading times but the memory is constantly unnecessarily filled. when you have 315mb in use your almost at the limit.. think about it, any app that suddenly requires more ram will lack the ability to get it. And I'm not even mentioning LMK that is also active (so you force your memory to be full and lmk keeps killing apps since its full). This is how i think about it.
edit: just read that you don't use any specific lmk, so i guess that's lmk 20mb or so. still your idea just doesn't work out

So I keep hearing complaints about "lag" with the Galaxy S4. Some of you have it and some don't.
Well, debloating your ROM (removing junk apps that you don't use) will typically reduce lag since these extra apps aren't fighting for system resources. But that doesn't work for everyone.
Another thing to do is to flash an AOSP (android open source project) ROM. These ROM's (including gapps) are usually less than 300MB in total size, while a stock or even debloated stock TouchWiz ROM are almost always 800MB to 1.3+GB in size.
Another thing you can try is to install "Seeder". Some folks will suggest it doesn't really do anything for you. Some others will say it uses up a lot of battery. So I guess every application is different. Because for me, even with an AOSP ROM, I seem to get slightly faster system response time when I click on something. And I've left my phone alone over eight+hours and checked battery useage and don't see Seeder anywhere taking up any battery.
Here is the Seeder main application thread. There, you can "thank" the developer (lambgx02) and also ask questions about the app. You can also download Seeder from that thread for free.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
Or, you can be a nice person and "buy" the app from the Play Store. At less than $2, it's not very expensive.

You can either read about how/why the app works or doesn't. Or you can try it for yourself.
For me, it's a must-have on the S4 since even AOSP ROM's still have a small amount of lag when compared with the smoothed-out ROM's on the S3.\
REQUIREMENTS:
-Rooted ROM
-Canadian or USA or Euro S4's, it works for all of them.
-TouchWiz or AOSP, it doesn't matter which.
So, here's how to install it:
1) Download Seeder to your internal or external SD card. It doesn't matter where.
2) Using Root Explorer (or your file browser of choice), locate and click on the seeder.apk.
3) Select "Install".
4) Select "Install" again.
5) Click "open".
6) Read the disclaimer and click "OK".
7) Grant root permissions:
8) Make your settings identical to mine (to start with). I've actually since changed mine from "Moderate" to "Aggressive" because I noticed no change in battery life. So, why not.
9) Now reboot.
10) Wait two minutes after the phone comes back up (to allow background start-up processes to finish) and start using phone normally.
Good luck, hope it works for you as well as it works for me. This is not a "cure-all" for lag, but it should help speed up an otherwise healthy system.
Don't expect miracles either. Only a really fubard'd ROM might show HUGE differences. But this app will probably help a little bit.
I had tried this program on my ATT GNOTE after the new JB update that seemed to slow everyone's phones to a crawl. It did help somewhat, but not enough for it to become bearable.. Caved and bought the S4. Seems like the app DOES work.
This app is a myth that has been busted even by the xda portal.

I endorse the posting of this link. I actually intended to do so in the OP when I was typing up the original post (and lost it all to a BSOD).
The article refers more to the theory behind the "fix".
But end results are end results, and the app works for some people. It also does not work for some other folks.
Like I said in the OP, try it and see how it works for you.

Right, and it shows that the theory behind the "fix" is flawed, having no effect on app execution. The only positive performance you're seeing is a result of boosting CPU speeds. It's not saying you're not seeing results. It's just that you're seeing them for the wrong reason; the same of which can be achieved by changing your CPU governor.

Negative. Because I've seen results on top of overlocking and governor changes.

I highly, highly doubt any other positive effects can be discernible on top of overclocking.

The system lags because touchwiz has many many features beyond those that you can just simply remove with titanium backup and such, there are a lot of features;what they seem to call them. That adjust color and lighting beyond ambient at all times no matter what. Samsung needs to release an update which I know they're cooking up, that optimizes these resource hog and debugs that are constantly running in the background... Let's just hope we get it soon and not have to wait till 4.3 to get it. The only way to get rid of all of the lag is to switch to also otherwise there will always be a tad amount of it, until samsung fixes it themselves; there's only so much developers can conjure up
The only way to get rid of the lag is by installing a custom ROM, either AOSP/AOKP or a TW based ROM like Omega or Winam. Then installing a custom, polished kernel like KT's kernel. Then disabling the scroll cache.
That makes this thing run like it should have in the first place.
Yeah seeder sucks sorry to say its not actually doing much.
