I know stock roms have always been considered "laggy" and this official gingerbread seems to be not very responsive on the screen, choppy, crappy framerate with motion.
I have used custom roms mostly up to this point, but several times have ran stock froyo while in between custom roms and it never seemed this laggy, choppy, unresponsive...whatever you want to call it.
Just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Obviously stock gingerbread probably has better features and things than froyo, but it just seems like stock froyo runs so much better.
Whats the odds they are going to maintain this rom and actually release bug fixes and maintenance updates?
Anyways, ill be headed back to Zeus.
No lag at all with the official GB on my Infuse...actually everything is very smooth.
I hated Froyo and didn't consider it useable.
Note I did do a factory reset after upgrading to GB then installed all my apps.
BUT, if it's not working for ya...certainly go the leaked GB or Zeus...can't lose with those ROMS.
I agree on the screen part, but the system is,overall faster, a lot faster.
Yes, I think touch is,less responsive and Swype is not so satisfying(look at those commas). Space size is smaller and the comma is on the left position of old space
I guess that I have,to press harder in order to be recognized, but when I got used to it, I almost never miss a touch.
I still think it's good to upgrade. The camera app that I like is still there. I used launcherpro to block all those att bloatwares so I don't care if there is any addition.

Its very laggy due to the extra 80mb of crap att and Samsung piled into it..... the leak is quicker and lighter

Its been very snappy for me. I use go Launcher with about 8-10 apps constantly updating in the background, and have never experienced any stutter. Zero screen lag for me. Maybe your throwing too much at your phone at once? idk
Its been pretty amazing. Att apps represent maybe like 4 apps? I just hide or ignore them. No big deal. Anyhow, Ive had 75%+ battery life over the last two days WITHOUT charging!!! ! NICE!
loving this official rom. Although I like all the ICS themed framework from zeus, im not willing to leave this official rom for it. loving it!

SO...unplugged for 14 hours and have 28% remaining.
Not the greatest but kinda what I expected. Will monitor another day then try juice defender to see if it helps (always has before on stock rom...but not much on port/custom roms).

Whooooaaaa... Didnt know there were so many haters on here! LOL! Ok ok Ill say it was more of like 1.5 days. I unplugged yesterday at around 11 am. Used internet a little. Mostly downloaded a bunch of apps, was transferring .png files to it for like 5 hours off and on using wifi file browser. checked facebook. went through several features.
--Looking at my phone now and its like at maybe 35%, When I posted earlier I was just looking at the battery icon and it looked to be just above 50%. Could have been 50%. Either way, I dont think thats bad at all. I couldnt go a full day before without charging regardless of what rom im on.
btw i use a black background on my device with almost 0 widgets save for a pulse reader widget which i have on manual update.
So am I a liar? I certainly dont think so. Are there a lot of people here who find this official rom pointless? probably. Im not one of those people fortunately. Seems rather unfortunate that after such a long time of waiting, some people dont want to grab the official rom. I havent found one thing to dislike about it. But thats just me. Maybe Im special? If so then, kindly disregard this post.
No offense to anyone btw. And sure Ill be looking to the future development of this rom for custom stuff and tweaks. But till then, and maybe after, Im sticking with the stability and performance.

No lag here, have you thought about doing a factory reset before complaining. You'll need to start clean, backing up data on a Froyo rom and then loading it on a gb rom is just making the new rom dirty. Start clean!
You need to let the new firmware settle. **** isn't going to be super fast when you first install it. 10mins isn't enough, try 3 days then come back and *****

My gps refuses to work on GB. I tried resetting and recalibrating with the gps App available on the market but to no avail. It seems like it works for about 5 minutes and then it's out again. I'm also not a fan of CM. It's just too much glitz for my taste is all. It seems more clunky than Froyo. Also my battery times where whacked out. It would say 10-15% and just die randomly. I recalibrated the battery and it fixed it but then the amount of play time i got was also considerably shorter. The main thing I missed about sense was all the glossy black, friend stream, and other widgets etc. I've found replacements for most with froyo but i know it would be much smoother if cooked in like sense was you know?

Well I doubt it's our battery because as soon as I went back to froyo all those problems ceased. I would venture to say it may have something to do with building a good cache of battery stats so GB can tell the true life of your battery. It was just not worth it to me. There's no drastic leap forward like there was from 1.5 to froyo. I'm just not sold on it yet. Nothing against anyone working on it. Just my opinion. I just miss clean aosp

Your first link is bad. It's good in the thread lebmb started, though.
Battery issues... Its been repeated a million times in threads and its in the gb wiki as well. Every time you do a data wipe before flashing a rom it erases your battery stats. You have to drain it and recharge it a few times to fix it.
This applies for any rom, as its caused by wiping the data
Edit: And personally this rom has increased my battery life significantly. So for anyone having issues, I'm gonna have to say either your battery is old, or it's operator error

yeah, while sense is nice, id rather run aosp stuff, particularly cyanogenmod. and the current aospCmod is the best rom that i have ever run. i used to use spare parts to speed up my animations, and now i can have normal animations without any lag. this is just fantastic. even the cm7 nightlies arent that fast. maybe a 2.2 sense port needs to be finished before work is started on the 2.3 sense.

Wrong, those 3 or 4 people just stopped using GB and went back to 2.2, because there were lag issues and no one else really accepted that it was a real problem. You're looking at one of those people. I've been flashing and tweaking ROMs since Windows Mobile 5, I'm not new to this game. This was not an operator error.
Just because it works wonderful and dandy for you doesn't mean it does for everyone else, stop with the 2.3 facism and keep this thread on topic, it's getting boring to watch every new non aospcmod thread get shot down.
Anyways, I PMed NFinite and Zenulator just for the hell of it, even though Zen has a G2 now and Nfinite upgraded to a Shift.
Im on the shift now but I do still have my heros in use, so I still am working on them when I have free time (not nearly enough anymore). As soon as I see a real dump from the wildfire s then I will see what I can do with it. These dumps are from the htc huashan.

You guys think development will ever rise up for this phone? I'm thinking of trading my myTouch 4G for this thing because I love AMOLED and the hardware quality of the SGS series. But with the development of the MT4G booming I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger.
Anyone regretting getting the SGS4G as supposed to a Vibrant with it's booming development?
Its coming up fast. New Rom's and themes are popping up almost daily now. Choices of modems, kernels, tweaks, etc....
Imo, grab it up! Its gonna be a fun ride and you'll have the chance to be in the front seat

Yeah that's what I'm hoping man. Just that I've been so used to GB these past couple months I'm a bit weary to go back to 2.2, hopefully ext4 kernels will come to this phone soon so that GB ROM's will work on this phone. I'm one of the 10 people in this world that actually like TWiz, lol. So I hope GB TWiz can come soon.
I still think this is a great phone and yeah the screen is pure awesome. As long as you know what you are getting in to, and you want the features the sgs4g offers you should go for it. This is a pretty great community starting up around here and lots of mods and things already available. We will have gb eventually (might be a while but hey) and if its twiz you like--thanks to Whitehawkx--we even have a port of twiz 4.0 from the galaxy s2 available!

the SGS4G supports adobe flash; it doesn't have a physical flash for the camera. while the "night mode" really does do an excellent job, there have been times i've wished for an actual flash.
my GPS works near-flawlessly. personally, i feel the hardware is so superior to the mT4G that the (current) fewer ROM options is a worthy price. super AMOLED is every bit as spectacular as advertised.

Has the 1GB of internal memory ever affected you? I'm worried about that because I have about 70 apps installed and still have about 500mb's free on my MT4G, so I don't wanna have to go back to the G1 days where I have to worry about apps2SD. I know it's a problem with stock GS4G ROM's. But do the rooted ROM's create more internal memory?

i haven't run into any issues. froyo allows the moving of apps to the SD. some apps themselves don't support it, but not enough that i've come close to running into the limit. i have around thirty apps installed, though... so your methods may vary.

I'm making the same jump from a mytouch 4g to this simply because my LED flash burned out and this is my 3rd replacement so I'm just ditching it I want something different. At least with this phone I won't have to worry about the flash burning simply because... there is no flash
But in all honesty I hope that this phone can keep up with the speed of my mytouch 4g. I'm going to miss gingerbread but hopefully this phone will get it soon! The screen looks amazing on youtube, I might walk into tmobile and see how I like this phone. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
If speed and responsiveness are your main concerns let me tell you...this phone flys. And lots of tweaks to make it even snappier. Of all the things you might worry about on the sgs4g--speed is not one of those things lol.

A friend of mine's father works for a major phone company. Legally I'm not aloud to tell you. But I have info on ICS, and if you have any hope on wanting info. You'll believe me. First of all ICS is completed. The release version is 4.0, not 2.4. It truly fuses Gingerbread, with Honeycomb. You know how the new Motoblur status bar looks? Thats kinda the whole theme to it. ICS is aimed to work on any and all devices. Tablets, and Phones. Just how a while ago somebody found out that hidden in HC is a GB UI. ICS UI will depend on the size of your screen. SO obviously tablets have Software buttons, and Phones hardware. Apparently there's an option to enable Software buttons in a menu similar to CM7's tablet tweaks. There using a new way to manage apps and the memory so that battery life is amazing! A Xoom apparently can go 75 HOURS! Yes Hours with out a single charge *Wifi Model*. ICS will be out for public development within the next two months. So expect CM8 in November :3 My source is amazing, I just can't say anything that will lead it back to me. ICS is smooth, fast, and amazing! If you guys truly want to see Pics of ICS *Yes, Pictures* I'll upload them next week. That will be the next time I can get a hold of some ICS. I'll upload the Lockscreen, Browser, and About Screen. I just need help on knowing what to blur out so my friend don't get in trouble. I was considering doing a Nandroid backup and seeing what people what do with that, but as the wife explained. I'd go to Jail Xo. So hopefully you believe me. If not wait to have your mind blown next week Thank You
I hope you'll deliver what you just promised
I truly can, it's not that hard. I had been using Honeycomb for 4 months before the Xoom was released :3
Can't wait

yes, would love some screenies!
we dont want anyone to get in any trouble here... but..
if a /system/ dump was posted to some little known file hosting/sharing from an anonymous IP address... well, you know... leaks happen, etc.

That's right, leaks do happen. Happened with Windows...happened with 2 iPhones being "lost" in a bar (happened with the 4 and the new 5 coming out). We don't live in a perfect world. "Accidents" happen
Are the home screens and app drawer designs radically different? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the motoblur theme.

More battery life is the best news ever. Even if they didn't improve much on the features but gave tons more battery life, I'd be a happy camper.

Agreed.
And this is the version where they are doing the full dual core optimization right guys?

I've had a galaxy s2 since may, and just bought a xoom 3g. The galaxy battery lasts a day. The xoom has lasted 4 days so far and still going. That's with gmail and exchange set to push, and on 3g. So 75 hours as stated by the op doesn't seem that great. Unless he means 75 hours continuous video playing?
WOW! I'm so excited about ICS!

People might have missed this but there is an important question in the OPs post quoted above.
OP: My suggestion is to look at the already leaked images from the older build and see if there is anything that seems strange in those areas. I don't know how subtle Google's watermarks are.

Yeah, strike. More battery life is the best news ever. I hope in trust .
I've been running CM7 for over 2 months now and I have stopped coveting any new roms, or any tweaks at all. I came to Android from iPhone when the Dell Streak came out and I was obsessed with what new things I could do with it. I couldn't wait for DJSteve or someone to tweak it some more. I came to Infuse with that same motivation and flashed and flashed and flashed whatever folks came out with just to try it. Then I got CM7 and only waited a short time for some small kinks to be ironed out and I can't think of anything I want my phone to do (although having less shutter lag on the camera would be great). So, with IOS you have the same OS for a year or so and get some improvements, but with XDA and the awesome DEVS you really get all kinds of options.....So here I am, extremely happy with my phone, rarely checking XDA for anything new and I'm wondering..........what "more" do you want? ..........

+1 on the Bluetooth .. would be SWEET if someone can ever get it working.
On another side, also with CM7 .. for the Infuse, fix the front-facing camera resolution issue .. this camera ain't 640x480 only !!!
I want it ALL THE WORLD.....
The world is not enough...
Bluetooth would be nice. I'd also like to see some real 4G. I know it is in certain places, and it has nothing to do with the developers...
Hoping when gingerbread is finally released officially for our phones, maybe we will see some small improvements... but like you said... there's not much besides the tiny tweaks... and maybe.... getting them to fly .... haha
EDIT: OH YA!! I almost forgot the most important thing... I would like to see reliable working GPS... I have tried all the tricks I could find and it takes soooo long to get a lock and when I finally do.... suddenly I am a mile off course... Samsung GPS.... tisk... tisk
I'd like my HDMI to work again

ICS would be awesome but for some reason I think it'll be like cm and never be a perfect running rom always has bugs. But I have my fingers crossed.

Part of the fun of Android is that you have the choice. You can take something and be perfectly happy with it like cm7 and run with it, or you can push on to the limits and invent new things as you go. That's the beauty though is that it's up to you, not the company releasing it, not the community, not your mom. It's YOUR choice how far you take it.

I'll be happy when I can get a ROM that will connect to a PS3 controller and be able to output HDMI video. After that, I'll probably stop checking XDA altogether except once every few weeks for an ICS ROM.

Great phone, few annoyances
Overall I think it's a great phone, with a lot of potential. The battery life blows the Epic out of the water, the reception is WAY better, and the keyboard is amazing once you get past the initial learning curve.
Even the stock ROM is not that bad.. My only real gripe is the lack of any toggle buttons in the notifications menu. That drives me insane, I use those constantly and HATE having to go into the settings every time I want to turn anything on or off.
I am, however, eagerly awaiting a root method and some custom ROM goodness. Which will quite easily take care of the majority of my gripes (besides the non-removable battery).

I hated that damn epic. this phone is superior in every way. contrary to the "bigger is better" hype, I like the size of the phone. It fits nicely in my hand and I don't have to be a contortionist to get my fingers across the screen. the only issue I have to complain about so far, besides the lack of toggles, is that if you have head phones or a bluetooth device connected, the notifications play thru it instead of the back speak. But that could user error on my part.. It isn't that much thicker than the original Photon. I'm holding them both in my hands right now and the weight isn't that much different either, especially for a slider. I'm not in to much of a hurry for any custom roms. but it would be nice to have root. I'm sure shabby or one of the other great devs will have that taken care of soon enough...

I tried it out, and it basically works... It does have a sort of tacked on feeling. I'd much prefer a baked in solution tho.

There are other alternatives, just giving 1 example.
So far, my thoughts on this device are that it is amazing! This could just be because i'm upgrading from a DROID Eris from Verizon, but this device does just about everything right!
The keyboard is by far the best one I've used on a mobile device, its very tactile and the back light is bright and adjustable. The phones performance is top notch, no lag in apps or just scrolling around. I've even gotten my ps1,n64,and gba emulators running great with keys mapped to the keypad
My internet browsing experience is been quite good, even though I'm still using sprint's 3g network, all websites load up quick and are smooth.
The screen looks fantastic, although it isn't full HD, colors are vibrant and watching videos is great on the phone. Overall, i am VERY pleased with the device so far, and i cant wait to see what developers have in store for it!

I just tossed the power control widget that's included on my home screen. While you can't get to it from everywhere, it's only one button away.
The only thing about this phone that I truly do not like is notification light. I don't like green XD

If anyone buys/uses the HD Dock and/or the Vehicle Dock for the Q, I'd be highly interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences after a bit of time using those as well....just tossing that out there for present and future owners alike.
Found this fairly indepth impression post by someone over at Phandroid, worth a read by those considering buying:

Better than the Galaxy S III?
So, the question for me is how does it compare to the Galaxy SIII?
Well the sg3 was out because samsung does not update crap. So I was leaning towards the htc evo lte when I heard about the photon q. Sometimes I have to compose some sizable emails for work and the touch typing can get pretty frustrating in those situations, so I end up using my epics keyboard a lot. Even thought about getting the htc and a blackberry just for emails for work

i did actually, froyo came a little slower but i understand why, back then AOSP was really closed off towards just the nexus one. you want proof in that look at how long it took from eclair to froyo vs froyo to gb, samsung had based the nexus s off its samsung galaxy line so it was able to know how to have the code work on the humming bird a hell of a lot sooner. in fact the gingerbread update was posted the day ICS was announced, thus making the epic only 1 update "behind". granted its two now but its also past its two year mark (or rather tomorrow it will be, i remember picking mine up on august 31st 2010 launch day)
the epic 4g touch launched with gingerbread not that long ago it got ics and will prolly get jellybean someday. sgs3 launched with ICS and the tmo version already has leaks of JB, meaning it will prolly happen soon.
now lets compare that to the photon (im sure a few other moto phones fit this bill) launched with 2.3.4, after 7?8? months got an update to 2.3.5 instead of ICS, ICS is coming later this year which means it will only be one update behind until Key Lime is released this november, what do you think the odds are of the photon getting jellybean officially? so as of this november it will be 2 behind and stay that way, considering photon owners are 1 year into their 2 year agreement for that device doesnt leave a lot of hope.
