Definitely appreciate your impressions... it's great to see Samsung notice these problems.
Like you, I'm also waiting for a rooted version
Thanks for the impressions.
I really want this incorporated in the new gummy rom!
How is the Qaudrant score? I wonder how they fixed the browser lag? Do you think they changes the file system to EXT4 from RFS (ala Voodoo)? Maybe they put the browser on the SD card?
This is exciting

I dont have the update yet but would also like to know if the quadrant scores improved...
I updated to EE4 this morning and the phone definitely feels faster, especially the browser. But when I ran the quadrant app the score didn't really change. I was completely stock before with the ED2 update and my score was typically around 930 and after I updated I've gotten and average of 945 after 10 runs.

So they didn't change the file system. That seems obvious from the low quadrant score.
I wonder if it's necessary to use the voodoo lag fix with the improvements of EE4. I would like to see how the new EE4 stands up to a device with the voodoo lag fix from ED2.
anyone know of a good place to read about what exactly is in this EE4 update? Thanks
Edit## Bump. Found a good place
I installed EE4 update and the browser is much smoother than Voodoo lag fix on ED2.
So I haven't even bothered with Voodoo lag fix. The browser is nice and smooth. I think even the launcher is smoother than Voodoo lag fix in ED2.
I also wanted to report the GPS seems to be much better. Before EE4 I was not able to get a GPS lock inside my house, it would say "location unavailable". Well, coming from an HTC phone that would get 5 feet accuracy while in the middle of my living room, I was not happy. However with the EE4 it now locks in my living room with a 19 foot accuracy according to GPS test But.. the same HTC phone still locks faster and has higher signals from the same satellites, but at lest its progress!!
Quadrant scores mean nothing. If you want higher scores with the Charge just convert to ext4 using voodoo.

So far in my experience with all the custom roms, ive found that the stock kd1 deodexed rom is best. Although quadrant scores arent best i can deal with this roms cpu. Like i dont see any big changes from OC'ing the phone and 1.0 ghz. And you can still do all the tweaks, butbthe theme seems more best for me. I love bionix frost, and the trigger 0.4. Theyre clean and stable. But i always have the urge to go back to stock.
Am i the only one here, or like whats the best set up with a rom?

I agree i flashed 2.3.3 played with it about 10 mins later founx myself back to stock
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
At this point, I prefer stock, as I haven't seen any themes that I really like. I would like to make something using touchwiz, but without all the bright text colors and menu icons. Not as desaturated as black ice though, something in between.
I'd build one, but I can't seem to get APK manager to work correctly. or at least I can't figure out how to point it to the correct location of the adb program in the SDK
Thanks for your agreements guys! Lol i felt like i was loner...

I will say, I am on Black Ice, Bali v3.2 with fugi tweaks and OC 1.25 GHz, and ext 4 on data only. I notice a huge difference in respone compared without any modding. Now I will say most of that is due to the tweaks and OC and not the ROM, but I would still say a little is due to the ROM since it removes some of the bloat that comes with the stock.
Although, I will admit I added TeleNav back on since Black Ice takes it out since it is such a large app. I don't care for google map directions as much.
I'm running the stock rom + root and deodexed from whitehawkx though, so I was able to remove a ton of the bloatware, and add a few apps to tweak performance, so it has been running great for me, and I'm getting great battery life (nearly 48hrs).
I did remove telenav, only because it launches a background process that runs all the time, even when you aren't using the program.
Oh i didnt oit any tweaks on mine yet! Lol i just like the feeling of stock.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
do this phone have a small lag or has anyone notice a lag right when they got their phone from the store? i come from a Samsung epic and the epic didn't have a lag even with all the bloatware that was install to it, i haven't done anything to mine i haven't even rooted, how can i troubleshoot my stock charge ?
Be more specific, we don't know what "lag" you're referring too. Home page being choppy? Download speeds? Browser being choppy?
when i had got mine and had it stock it was kind off laggy. TW was laggy as well as the notification bar. I rooted and flashed eclipse 1.3.1 and peanut butta jelly time and now have noooo lag what so ever. i highly suggest you try eclipse 1.3.1
i have used every froyo rom and eclipse 1.3.1 is def. the best. also enable voodoo lagfix if u decide to root and flash roms and kernels
Mine had lag right out the box. Not swiping between home screens or anything but when opening Apps like messenging and stuff. It wasn't terrible but I noticed. That has since gone since flashing gummycharged.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
I had lag too when I was in stock. I still get lag every now and again with gummycharged but its not as bad. I'm thinking about trying eclipse

I was hoping to get your guys opinion on this. Should I wait at least until mid October for gingerbread, or should I say forget it and install a custom Rom now? In otherwords, do you think gingerbread will really be here soon?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
We kinda think its close. But why not try a custom rom. The flash time and return to stock time is les than 15 minutes. Now if you are trying not to void your warranty,I guess I can dig that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
It's a really high quality refurb from Att and has 2 months of warranty left. But I doubt I'd brick it. Even if I did I'd use gtg's unbricker. Hmm... I'm still on the fence though. Need more opinions.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Well the custom roms offer some things stock doesnt yet its up to you and your needs.
Anyways now with the video recording fix using a GB rom its a nice choice. I was "stuck" on Froyo since the fps thingy on Gb roms but now that its fixed ive been runnin Infused 2.2.3 and its smooth.
There are some more rom options so you could browse and take your choice.

If you're willing to give up HDMI output and live with a few minor bugs, you can have Gingerbread now.
Also data speeds are still not fixed in GB, although one fix I tried seems to have had far better results than I expected so there is promise there. I'm asking for some confirmation of that, as I live in an area with always-crappy speeds so I can't really test it.

Yea I was going to wait, but I could not stand it anymore. I am on 2.2.2 with Entropy's kernel. The data speeds seem mostly restored, even though i used to get almost another mb usually. If you do go to Gingerbread now, I will say the perfect pair is Infused 2.2.3 (or 2.2.2) with Infusion 1.0 (overclock kernel) for heavy games users. For daily needs and internet speed, I would say again Infused 2.2.3 (or 2.2.2) with Entropy's kernel. I have not tried Serendipity, but I have heard almost nothing bad about that too.
I installed S7 a few weeks ago, expecting to only stay on it a few days as I tried a few other ROMs. I still want to fix the Hellraiser "stuck battery notifications" issue.
I've been very happy with S7 - At some point I'll be returning to CM7, but I've been so busy that I haven't had time to mess with reflashing another ROM.
UCKI5 apparently just got leaked, so I may just wait. Seems like it's close.

Currently running bamf forever 1.11 but i have to pull battery once a day to get rid of lag. I love bamf forever if it didn't lag if anyone knows a fix other than o/c I have done that then msg me. If anyone has tried skyraiders and knows more please let me know. I greatly appreciate it

Back up what you have, then flash Zeus. I'm using It now and its great.
Sent from my ADR6400L
Why don't you just restart it rather then pull the battery daily?
Restarts do no fix the lag issue.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I know how you feel...Bamf11 would be the perfect rom if not for the insufferable lag. It wears on you. I ran it with IMO kernel oc to 1.4 but it was still laggy. Bamf kernel jammed up my phone.
I think some of the earlier versions have less lags but then you are replacing the lag with some bug. I feel like the developer needed just one more update to speed up an otherwise flawless rom.
I havent tried skyraider yet. I dont like any of the mr4 roms because of various bugs.
My favorite rom is thundershed because it flies but sometimes I miss some of the sense functions...but I dont miss the lag.
Sometimes old roms ARE better than new roms. I prefer mr2 to mr4.
4 hours on infectedrom eternity nightlies and so far loving it super fast will flash zues tomorrow night and try that one also. Thanksfor all replies

If you haven't already heard about it.. 'SEEDER', new amazing App. Made my phone a good 3x faster. If you are rooted it can be found in the app store. I flashed the .ZIP. You can find it online here. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/0...n-nexus-7-and-others-with-seeder-application/
P.S this work with any Android device. Have fun
Yes I know this should be in apps and themes but everyone deserves to see this, especially us Tbolt guys.
This has been proven to be a placebo affect. I have tested it for almost 3 days now and it doesn't really help at all. Also someone mentioned in that forum it doesn't work properly with snapdragon processors because the rndg is different than others. If it does help at all I think it would help more for the lag that comes from not rebooting for a long period of time.

Proof? I am running liquid smooth and notice immediate improvement.

I have been using it with unsense and it hasn't really improved anything. No difference in performance without it either. Like I said it's a placebo caused by the fact that the tweak actually wakes your processor repeatedly which is why your phone seems to react better. You can use it if you like but it is really just a battery drainer. You can get the same performance increase by setting your governor on performance.

What rom are you running?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda premium
I ran it on nu sense and it drained my battery and noticed no improvement in speed. You see an increase because you want to see an increase. Its like throttle body spacers people puts on their cars. Suppose to improve performance and increase fuel mileage. They do no such thing but make a nice paper weight. People who had them swear they could feel an increase. One guy put his truck on a dyno and tested with it on and with it off. His results was with it on he lost a few hp. This is why butt dynos are so inaccurate because we make our selves believe we can see and feel a difference. When in fact there isn't.

I've been using the seeder apk for a few days now and have noticed a decrease in input lag for sure. I also noticed a decrease in battery life when using the phone.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post. It cause a wake lock on the processor making it wake repeatedly which is the likely reason that anyone notices anything. It in no way shape or form affects entropy which was the original intent of the app. Google has also stated that the very issue this is supposed to fix was actually fixed with the release of ICS. Try it on a gb rom and see if it actually works. Also, after you run it for a few days disable it and see if there is a decrease in performance. I've ran it for about three days and there is no difference without it running.

Google devs have stated that there was an issue with entropy in gb roms so there is no doubt that it probably helps it.

I have installed Seeder on my Gingerbread (SkyRaider Zeus) Thunderbolt and 4.2.1 Galaxy Tab 10.1.
In neither case has it improved speed, launching or operations.
I wanted to believe. In my testing, i call it wishful thinking.
