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.

Yeah, the instructions are very thorough and it's not complicated, only thing is in script manager (free) it's hard to see the full menu and when you touch to scroll it inputs characters but all that takes is a little deleting

any improvement to the little bit of lock screen lag?

Lock screen lag still seems to be there for me a bit, better than it was for sure but I have only tried one setting which I posted earlier, there are a ton of tweaks and hopefully over the next few days we can figure out the best setup for our device. Landscape to portrait is smooth as butter for me

Running Agressive 1 on rooted stock ROM and I'm in love with my SK4G all over again.

I followed this visual step-by-step tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940. For speed I chose 1 (fast). Then I chose #2, aggressive 1. Then I reboot. When I check if the script is working it prompts me to choose all the stuff again rather than showing the screen as shown on Step 8. When I repeat the same process anyway the current and previous minfrees are different, Current being higher.
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.
I've noticed a huge change in lack of lag after running this on aggressive 1 (option 2) there's barely any lag between exiting apps and returning to home now or switching between them its soooo nice hehe
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
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?

Hi all, so far I've repeated this process with the same results about a day later multiple times with vahalla 1.2 and latest FTW.
Procedure: kc1 clean up with odin, odin GB boot loaders, flash kg4 kernel with cwm, flash vahalla 1.2 through cwm, disable voodoo, let boot and sit 15mins, reboot recovery, factory reset, enable voodoo, boot and hear linda, let phone sit for 10mins, reboot recovery, flash sasv7 and kh2 modem, reboot and let sit for 5mins, reinstall all apps plus data with titanium backup, remove tw4.5 and add launcherpro, then restore launcher pro settings and homescreen layout, then dsextons* uv settings with tegrak, finally I use mobile terminal and run the the command the keeps lp in memory and therefore stops homescreen redraws.
-These are the steps I take to install a new rom from a clean state. Everything runs super smooth. Quad scores around 23-2400. No lag, very responsive.
-The problem is after about one day, the phone becomes almost glitchy/ laggy. It freezes from time to time and is overall not very responsive. Quad scores drop to 11-1200 overnight.
-My question is what could be causing this on a rom that everyone seems to have such positive results.
-My thoughts are its the script that I ran. But then how do I stop homescreen redraw. I get it a lot with launcher pro and adw. I dislike tw very much.
-or it could be restoring all my apps with TB
-or maybe the order in which I'm installing the rom..
-I'm at a loss, and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
Edit: The script used in terminal.
$ su # echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop
SOLVED-------------
-So for about a day now I've been playing with my phone and can attribute the problem to launcher pro and my settings.
for those interested I had turned up the home screen scrolling speed from 5 to 9 and the same with the app drawer opening speed under launcher pro. I think this, plus my ultra low UV settings caused my phone to be unstable. this is honestly just a guess. but ive had no problems for about a day now. the script provided, not running the UV so low; although still UV, and not messing with LP settings are the only things that ive changed. so far so good, but only time will tell. thanks for all the help everyone. Oh and no redraws either =]

do you get homescreen redraws at stock voltage? I don't get any kind of homescreen redraw with TW4.5 on valhalla 1.1 I'm also undervolting, but using my own settings, which are not as low as dsextons, which didn't work for me since I didn't flash his SAS.
I had frequent issues with LP when using one restored through Titanium - freezing after every boot etc.... Deleted (wiped caches too), and re-downloaded from the market and the problem went away. Makes no sense that it should do this, but it did make a difference for me. Same issue and solution on my wife's SGS4G.
I love LP so was very happy when it started behaving itself.
May or may not work for you but worth a try.
Edit: I am running Valhalla 1.2 with Dsex's undervolt settings and V7 Tweaks.
yes i still get homescreen redraws on stock voltage. but not nearly as often
with my above configuration minus the script, it redraws if i use any heavy app for more than a minute (navigation, emulator, ect.)

Stock is the most sluggish. On top of overclocked cpu, I use overclocked gpu kernel as well and the ADW EX launcher. That's a prescription for butter smoothness.

Even when you get everything set up the way you want it, things get laggy sometimes.
I do the following: reboot to refresh the system, free up ram by various means, including making sure that no memory hogs are running in the background, etc...Autostart root app helps to keep stuff from starting at or just after boot,which helps you manage your memory too.
Also make sure you are using the interactive (or lagfree if you so desire) governor for your kernel. That solved my laggyness problem with my refurb.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Hi
What is lagfree? Is it a kernel? How to get that?
Is there a good app to show what is using the most memory or resources so i can uninstall? I use advanced task killer and it kills my apps every now and then and performance improves but they comr back even thougj i didnt run them. How can i prevent apps from loading into mem except when i launch. I went to their settings and disables anything that runs on interval but they still run.
Thanks.
Note; currently i am 3.2.1 rooted.
As I said, Auto Starts is a great app to control what runs automatically. I also use Active apps to show me what is running so I can close it if needed. There are a number of good root apps that can do the trick. Why not check out the list in the Xoom Heaven thread at the top of page one of the General Forum.
Thanks for the reply I will give that a try...
I noticed having a lot of open browser tabs kills the speed big time.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Even bone stock the Xoom is not sluggish. I would say there is a problem or you did not fully wipe the device. On some devices the kernel could potentially cause a problem.
If memory is not super low, connection speeds is usually the culprit.
Hello, this morning i have found some build.prop tweaks for launcher,ofcourse i have tested it and my conclusion is: using about 2hours and it is working a bit smoother and without redraws.
here are those two lines which i have added to build.prop
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
ro.HOME_APP_MEM=40960
i have chosen 40960 because apex launcher uses about 35mb so i reserved 40mb for safety ;D 40*1024=40960 ;D
would be cool if you would test and leave feedback, lets try dennis to improve apex launcher for galaxy note users
edit: even force stopping it through settings/applications/running and going back to home screen it doesnt give any redraw
So anyone tested?
Thanks your posting..
I applied this method to my phone..
I hope that this method is working well.

atleast it decreased btw the main thing was- to get rid of black screen issue (which means the screen goes completely black and it takes a long time (sometimes > 5 seconds) to reload everything) have you got it?
i dont have redraws a lot because i made cpu up-treshhold 60% which gives better/faster cpu increasement
so far so good
so far so good, before this fix i was having atleast 10 blackscreens a day now after i did this fix it seems much much better.I am running Apex on KingDroid v2.0 with XLR1 modem and SpeedMod kernel.

getting several redraws and force closes(crashes) on my galaxy note.
Please help me in understanding how i can follow the steps to fix the issue or maybe reduce the force closes.
To fix launcher redraw, read the second post of V6 Supercharger thread and get your services.jar supercharged!

"Whatcha talking about Willis?" Sorry, showing my age.
I have not really noticed any issues with Apex. But then I am running Paranoid, checked keep in memory, upped the transition speeds, set transitions to none, turned off dithering and turned on 16 bit transparency. I'm sure the rom has some memory modes to.
When I was running Rocket Rom or some other GB Rom, can't remember, I do recall seeing redraws of a few seconds occasionally. Since I have gone to a CM9 based rom I have not seen it.
I'll give it a try, more memory could not hurt the app.

IF YOUR BATTERY LIFE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU IN THE WORLD THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU!
Battery life hasn't been thoroughly tested and not expected to be great.
Welcome to ROM ZERO.
ZERO was developed for one purpose. SPEED! You will open apps, download, install apps, and browse the web faster than before. This rom is based on USABILITY SPEED and may not show in benchmarks. It's two totally different things. Battery life is not expected to be great but hasn't been tested so please Don't complain about your battery life. I would like some feedback on the battery life but as I said, don't expect much.
This is a stock rom lightly debloated with a few nice tweaks. I have added my yamato performance edition tweaks and some scripting in the frame buffer to help speed things up. This will give you higher frame rates in games and overall speed. Lean kernel is preloaded and completely over clocked including the GPU out of the box. There is no need to lkconfig. The GPU governor is also automatically set to performance mode. There are alot of adjustments made to this rom for speed. It's FAST.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
De-odexed system with ODEXED apps.
Lightly debloated.
Black & white toggles.
Black status bar.
4.2 keyboard.
Menu to kill.
Holo & stock TW launchers.
Adjusted Bluetooth for quicker connections
Complete rewrite of the build.prop and included all of my HWUI settings for speed and a better visual experience.
Frame buffer speed adjustments.
Full HW rendering.
GPU over-clocked.

I can start the hotspot from the status bar on top, but when I connect to my phone, get either a Limited Connectivity error or no connection at all. I can take some screenshots when I get home if that would help, maybe the app has an error log that I can find.
Just flashed, had no issues. Everything seems nice and smooth. Its also visually very smooth. Coming from clean ROM I would say as far as "speed" at least opening apps and such Clean ROM is faster, but Zero is very fluid. No issues with lag. I havent tested much else. So far so good though. Nice work and thanks! Its been kind of quiet on the forums since the S4 came out.
Unfortunately I found an issue this morning with some of the scripts loading. This rom is currently not running as I intended it as far as speed. The update tonight will be a huge difference in performance! Sorry about the bug.
Version 1.2 released.

This will be a noticeable improvement!

Well it's obviously easy enough to remove the app itself but removing the tab from the settings menu isn't something I have ever dove into yet. For me it's a bit complicated and over my head right now. I'm going to have to read up on setting tabs and learn a bit more about it. Probably in version 5.0 lol.
Edit @Your edit..
Darn another flaw! Ugghhh! Yes I will.
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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en
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.
