No issue here with root explorer.
Strong Explorer is also a really nice alternative if you wanna try to see if it performs better
I'm running SynergyROM currently, but even on other ROMs i noticed a delay when I hit a folder, something i never noticed on any other phone I've had.

Yup. Mine runs slow as hell too but it does work. It runs a lot faster on my rooted HTC One X though and I've ran it on my old Moto Droid X as well and it was fast on that old phone.
It's annoying but hasn't bother me enough to care yet.
Mine runs pretty smoothly with Synergy and root explorer. I then began using the iwo kernel and it still runs very well.

I wonder if it's just me, but when i install other apps liek GoSms, or the GoContacts app, they never run smoothly and constantly lag especially when i need to access what these apps handle quickly! Do any of yall experience such a problem? Thanks!
Are you rooted? I don't have any problems with apps like miui camera or handscent sms. Are you having problems with other apps or just what you mentioned? because I didn't have good experiences with Go sms, maybe experiment with other apps.

Hey guys I'm just wondering if Samsung ever released a fix for the stock browser lag.
I was thinking about getting the phone but this is holding me back.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Given that you seem to have an issue with any Samsung phone you have, regardless of how big or small the problem is, you're probably better off just not getting it, because even if the "browser lag" is fixed, you'll just find another thing to complain about.
Next he will be complaining about the lack of an LED and saying BLN is not a valid replacement.

No its not the phone. I had it before and returned it for same reason. But after hearing about update i wanted to try it again. If i use the opera mobile browser its perfect with no checkerboard and touch is very responsive. On the stock browser if i scroll it'll respond 2 sec after

No offense, but that is pretty sad if that is the "only" thing causing you to pack up the Charge. What do you like about the stock browser so much that you don't use an alternative anyway? If the problem doesn't exist for the other browsers, why not just use one of them? I can think of a handful of others that are much better than the stock browser anyway.
Seems like you are just trying to bash Samsung for no particular reason.
No im not bashing. I had it once before. And got rid of it for that reason. But i heard the lag was fixed. That why I ASKED IN THIS POST ..... The reason i like the stock browser is it handles alot of webpages better.... Format wise. Its just a taste. Trust i would rather be on a 4g phone.... The thunderbolt was just to big and heavy for me. So i went with the charge. Not bashing... Not meant that way.

Stock browser consumes extreme amounts of CPU.
Do not use
Not gonna bother reading the thread still gonna chime in through, the stock browser sucks but if you're asking about the glitch that was in all the DC reviews where flash froze the browser, then that has been fixed a long time ago.
Also, for browsers I'd suggest replacing stock with Dolphin HD(or Mini, uses less resources) or Opera.
Hi all,
Does anyone else have really bad scrolling, etc with their stock browser? I can hardly scroll the simplest pages and when it does move it moves in one big choppy motion with no fluid movement at all.
Anyone else experience this?
I am running LinuxBozo Beta 9 with the I9000 SensatioN ROM if that matters...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I also use Dolphin browser HD. Even before using the stock browser on newly installed roms, I go straight for Dolphin. It is smooth, fast and I love the UI. You can try other browsers too depending on what you like!
Hmm... Surprisingly, Dolphin for me, would be laggy most of the times, and the scrolling was many times choppy.
I personly get dolphin.hd browser asap. I do this since I read alot from Fanfiction.net when I do not get service so I can set it to save the web pages with "Save this page" via a gester and then jump to the bottom of the page with another gester so I can save multiple chapters at one time. When reading them "Save this page" has its own browser.
Try Opera Mobile. It's the smoothest scrolling browser i've tried on the infuse.

Yeah. That's the one I use. The only problem I've had is that it doesn't want to connect to my university's website, but it really isn't a big deal. Scrolls great, loads great, and the tabs work really well.

My SGSII browser is smooth as butter and has no lag what so ever. I have the international version of the SGSII.
That browser is so fast that more often than not when I'm scrolling with it I overshoot where I wanna go because it just takes off... LOL.
I installed Opera on my Infuse and it seems to work very nicely. I forgot how nice it was when I had my Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional...

What ROM are you using? I've played it on MIUI, Cyanogenmod, multiple Sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms, and haven't had any lag with any of them.
Also, if you have anything other than the default kernel for each rom please let me know that as well.
I don't recall. I got it when it wad released and first big news. I switch a lot so tough to say. Sorry no help there.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Well...i would say to give absolution a try. It has overclocking with the kernel it uses (which isn't really necessary but could be useful for you) and runs very smooth for me. Its a Cyanogenmod rom so no "sense" but there are a ton of customizations.
It runs ok in all roms I've tried.
But absolution, blackice, or any other CM rom should be faster then a sense rom.

I loved this ROM on my Infuse back when I had it and have been looking for a stable build that is fully functioning/bugless (for the most part anyways)... However there is very little info here on this ROM and the info that I have read is negative, mentioning bad MMS, cant add contacts ect etc....
Anyone still running this? Any feedback is much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Talk to lithium he is working on miui for a ton of phones but his testers for skyrocket give him inconsistent feedback making him reluctant to release builds if you go to miui.us and go to their chats you can catch him under a different name

What are you currently running?
running the most recent build for us. Its nice actually. Contacts bug isnt a big issue at all. For themes to work just run a terminal command and they work fine. Untill cm10 gets the camera more stable Im going to stay on this.
I used to use it as a daily driver.
Then Jelly Bean came along.
MIUI is seriously one of the best ROMs I have ever used. The dynamic notification system is the best part about it, as well as the beautiful UI.
There are also a lot of themes you can apply. You can ever pick and choose which parts of what theme you want to use.
It's also really smooth. Once you use MIUI, it's hard to leave.
And from a stability point of view, it's perfectly fine to use as a daily driver. I had very few crashes.

Sucks its not getting updated, visually MIUI has no competition, ive literally tried everything and asethetics are extremely important to me.... Eevery JB/ICS rom ive used just looks like a kids toy in the UI... And Zeam, why doesnt it look the same when you install zeam on MIUI versus any other rom?
Do you have lte data issues with aokp.?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
I used to, but recently I switched to Sky-ICS with a MIUI launcher theme. I just didn't see the appeal of it when there are other ROMs that give the device much more attention.

another way is to turn on root permissions, then use root explorer to set permissions for /data/system/theme. Make sure everyone has r/w/e. All 9 boxes checked. chmod 777 is the terminal command I believe. But wait til the guys chime in to be sure.

For themes to work, run these commands in terminal:
su
mkdir /data/system/theme
chmod 777 /data/system/theme
cd /system/etc/init.d
The mkdir command will give an error, just keep going, then try applying a theme after, and it should work.
Being a ROM flashing addict I've been debating whether to give MIUI a go, this thread pretty much convinced me. Thanks guys.
