Flash video improved on ICS but... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

If you guys remember, whenever you did full screen flash video like on southparkstudios, you used to get a flicker. Case in point, Crackle has never looked so good. I think that flicker is gone in ICS but...full screen feature buggy...crashes most browsers. Hopefully that'll get figured out soon.

Quick live wallpapers+sticking?

First off am I the only one that wishes the original opengl would stick? Performance was alot better for that one (especially for the nexus wallpaper). Is getting the performance of the original live wallpaper we had and the sticking of the new patch possible? Right now that is the only problem stopping my phone from being the sex.
EDIT: Problem seems to happen when another widget is updated. Its not perfectly smooth, but not bad, but when a widget updates it really slows down the wallpaper to a noticeable halt. I doubt im the first to notice this, but for anyone else that really wants nexus wallpaper, having less widgets on your main page seems to help.
I moved the news+weather widget you see below to another page and it seems to jitter less.
I agree. Losing the performance from the new OpenGL isn't worth having LWP's. They might have a fix for this when Toast's Awesome Sauce ROM is complete.

Ive wanted them ever since i saw them and i think its pretty awesome
that we can run them @ all on a phone that has half the horsepower
as their intended to run on. be happy you have the option. If you like
them i dont really exp all this slowdown everyone is crying about now
that they work, and its not like a bounty hunting sprint dealer is going to
hunt you down and put them in your phone.........so the choice is yours
but no sense in being anything other than greatful for what we have atm
unless you have something to help us improve the issue as it stands.
Maybe you could try to solve the issue for us rather than wasting your time
posting about waiting for the devs who do for free to come up with the
next great fix.Good Luck with your waiting.....Ill be busy asking questions
and doing research to find answers and fixes to my issues. And Yes if i wasnt
happy with them so far thats what id be doing but i got my victory about
1 week ago when i stumbled across someone in another forum with the
patch for them to stick on another phone. My goal was getting them to
stick....and im very happy with what i have now. With that ability we
can now have FULL FUNCTION roms, which we couldnt do before.

Yeah I disagree with "there is no point in having them if it is slower".......the patch works pretty dam well with most wallpapers its just the peski nexus being alittle to slow to be usable for me. MagnusRagnarok my OP was not an attack on you at all. I am extremely thankful for what you have done, and hope you have not taken my post that way. I am just trying to see if more people feel the same way as me. For me getting the nexus one wallpaper running alittle bit better would get me closer to completing my phone.
Ill bump since I edited my first post. Hopefully someone finds it helpful.

Hey guys, I know a lot of us have been dying to get the nexus wallpaper working without having to do the opengl fix to make wallpapers stick, seeing as it made the wallpaper ran really choppy. I found a way to get it to stick, run smooth, and not have to change the opengl. I used the update zip posted by emerica6541 and it stuck right on and have ran smooth ever since. Granted he did modify the wallpaper so the lights are smaller, but I think it looks better that way on our heroes due to the smaller screen. It has survived multiple reboots, and over 30 mins of sleep time. I am running darch's legend rom though, so I'm not sure if this will work for damage's or flipz's roms, but its worth a shot.

Thank you very much for the post. I have tried flashing that before and it did not seem to work (this is on a fresh build). Ill try again, if not maybe a kind soul could look at it and see how to port onto fresh/damage build.
This is the point of the thread, not to shoot down other's hard work but to improve on it....I think thats what xda is about.

Just a note though, when you first set the wallpaper, your phone will freeze for a min, then it'll take you to the bootscreen. Once it reloads, you should be good to go.

I had it on my sd. Sadly it does not seem to make any difference. It is smooth enough (alittle bit jittery but not too bad) but once a widget updates it stops just like the other version of nexus wallpaper.

Hmm, that's odd. Are you running the new opengl fix to get the other wallpapers to stick? Because I am still running the old opengl that came standard on darch's Rom.

Oh no, i am running the new openGL. I will try the old one thanks! Should have read your original post better.
One thing that is weird is that the LWP stick with the old openGL if its plugged into the computer. Does the phone not sleep if its plugged into a computer?

this rom is really really sweet. i like it a lot. it runs smooth. some bugs (you already know about them) but i have to say, i got rid of my iphone a few years ago, and havent gone back for a reason. as much as i like this rom, im not down with the UI. that said, here are the things i DID like
dedicated dock at bottom of screen was nice to have again. Home screen editing was really nice actually. I really enjoyed the way that worked. the speed was incredible. spot on with cyanogen. good job so far on this rom dphase. im impressed.
No joke this is the best one all others crash a lot. Keep it up your on the right track.
I like the MIUI roms... they are INSANELY fast to use and goodlooking too... I really like what they did to the lockscreen for one.
But i need my firepower... i got a sense Desire HD rom with quadrant score up to 1800!!!
how insane is that?!
Lets get more people using this ROM, we need to work out the bugs to get this working perfect
I'm liking this except for the lack of screen rotation. Has anyone else had an issue with the camera where it won't let you do anything after taking a picture until you take another picture?

Browser lag

I'm thinking of buying a Nexus S and my question is, did ICS finally fix the browser lag? I had the NS back when it came out and remember this issue vividly. I'm coming from a G2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I know the Galaxy Nexus has zero lag (i have one)
so maybe its iCS
if not..
buy a Galaxy Nexus
Anybody else got any feedback? I'm itching to get my hands on ICS and want to make sure that HW accel in the browser is enabled in the NS before I buy it.
if you explain how lag is manifested i can test it and send report back to you.
Ive got nexus s updated via OTA to ICS
Back in last December, pages that had images were really hard to scroll through. Maybe they even fixed it with an update already, I just don't know. We had the issue open with Google but since moving to the G2x I unsubscribed from it. The browser would scroll at like 1-2fps. I just want to know if the browser is now smooth with h/w accel in ICS.
Somebody posted a vid:
http://vimeo.com/30050423
Also, the comments here say performance has been improved, even though this is just the alpha that was available before and not the OTA. I think I'm going to get it. I'm tired of all the G2x issues.
well i can tell you i often open msn.com desktop version and i didnt notice any lag, except in ICS when you zoom in (using pinch) it blurs images and text (showing them using lower resolution or something, they look very ugly) and once you stop zooming it shows full resolution text/images.
Scrolling through site goes like butter, smooth.
I just tried it one more time, opened yahoo.com full site and also scrolled through without any glitches!
I hope this is what you want, and that i was any help for you!

[Q] Best Running JB ROM Available.

Question of Curiosity, And of course, Preference
Im Considering Changing up roms Eventually, I use my phone quite frequently,
Tubing, Browsing the Web. and Music, Occasionally ill get my self addicted to a game i have an extended battery of course.
I do happen to text more frequently then others
i would like to know what the forum users of XDA Choose as their roms of their picking
I personally am having great expectations of JellyBelly
Hopefully v4 won't disappoint your great expectations
I'm sure jellbelly will meet or exceed expectations. I have been trying all the JB builds in this forum and it is the smoothest running so far. I have had issues with them all locking up sometimes but this one does it the least and is the only one that hasn't forced a battery pull.

I've Used, JellyBelly for a bit it still has the keyboard issue where if you hit the cap button once it will lock into All CAPS For the whole message and you have to toggle it many times to get it to unlock from caps or you just have to Hold the Shift ( Cap ) Button to Cap a letter and let it go.
I've also ran into a few problems . with the FN some Options such as the _ Underscore will not appear in some log in Selection boxes. i have to manually go to my soft touch keyboard and key it in by long pressing the Symbol.
None the less dont get me wrong its a great rom hands down. I would like to see those little kinks worked out.
Sorry man, but that's the way the keyboard is on JB, you gotta hold the shift or fn key down like on the computer.

It has been that way for me on every JB ROM, with random times that it works correctly... IDK. Either way, I will probably not be doing any more work on JB until it is less buggy. It's just a headache when bugs pop up out of nowhere, some of the weird bugs aren't ROM specific either. Sorry guys, but it kinda takes the fun out of it when you are constantly fixing bugs. I may do one more update, but I don't know when that will be. For now I'll let the devs that are more talented than me see if they can work out some kinks, my main objective with JellyBelly was to reduce the lag so JB was more usable.

I first tried out kushdeck's CM10 for the evoSHIFT! but found that very unstable. Constantly hangs and the phone would reboot.
Using bilgerryan's JellyBelly-CM10 v4 and it does still hang for a minute at times in the same places as kushdeck's. Primarily happens throughout settings such as viewing APPS then selecting something also SystemUI hangs.

Keep your eyes peeled for V6 of bilgerryan's JB ROM. Testing is going very nicely! I had similar freeze issues with previous versions, but I think he just about has the kinks worked out.

I tried V6 just now, unfortunately I am not able to post in the thread as my account has less than 10 posts but I have run into a few issues with it thus far. The animations and scrolling are very choppy, this may be related to the "screen flickering" problems listed so i'll have to check the build.prop and make sure everything is as it is supposed to be there. As well, i've ran into a bug where upon backing out of the camera (which I use frequently), all icons and widgets vanish until phone reboot. That's quite a big problem! It's a fast ROM no doubt, and probably the best JB based ROM we have ATM.

I did! Extra carefully making sure to wipe everything as usual - this is my second or third ROM flash and only the first time I've seen something like this. After the phone reboot I tried to force the camera bug again so I could screenshot it for bilgerryan but it hasn't shown back up yet. Will be continuing to test, really loving this room so far I just wish it was as smooth as the one I was using previously (RemICS-UX ReVamped).
I guess it could be a bad dl. You might try down loading again over WiFi or hard line then reflashing.

Install a cache cleaner on Play Store and if it starts getting laggy clear your cache. There are a few of them that are one click and done. Plus you gotta let this ROM settle for a bit.

Will give it a shot after I set aside some time and check the build.prop gpu tweak you mentioned in the topic, even though that may be outdated and no longer needed by v6. I did however have the camera back-out glitch happen again. When leaving the camera, no icons or widgets render. I was able to fix it this time by reopening the camera from the lock screen and backing out, but still very irritating and interesting behavior.

Yeah it should not be needed in v6.. What are your CPU settings? If you haven't overclocked it you might wanna set it at 1.2 or 1.3 GHz. I haven't been able to reproduce the camera thing you are talking about. Chad might be right. Looks like a bad download.

Am i the only one with lag on jelly bean animations?

on any JB rom i have ever tried, i cant seem to get the 60fps animations working properly. For example, when opening the messaging app, sometimes the animation is extremely smooth, but most of the times it is definitely not 60fps. Any reason for this?am i the only one with this issue?If it works sometimes @60fps it means it is capable so why isnt it always smooth?if i change the animation on nova launcher to the ICS one, it works perfectly...
Maybe the problem is the kernel, change it...

lol done that like 100 times. Its the phone, its getting old...checked with my friends phone and his phone doesnt have 60fps animations either. I guess project butter is to much for our phone to handle. Whats strange its that sometimes the animation is perfectly fluid, but the next time its not...even if its right after.
Get a galaxy nexus. I also have this problem, but it's minimal when i don't install much apps.

I agree with this. If you have the money there are some available on Ebay for $120. But that is only if boot animation lag is that big of a problem for you
