Now that I have your attention, to make it Sense UI run faster, UNDERCLOCK it with overclock widget (the red/blue icon one) to 383mhz and let the phone accustomize to that speed for 2-3 minutes and the phone definitely runs faster. Or at least it did for me.
I run Swapper at 32mb/10 swappiness w/ the clock/weather and twitter widget, plus 6 icons, the overclock widget, and the wifi toggle widget and have noticed a HUGE difference in the past 24 hours since I first started running the underclock.
Don't ask cause I can't explain how this is either...
My next "quest" for better performance is to try w/o Swapper.
Heard about underclocking helping performance on hero before.... Ill try it out for a day and see what happens....

Your right, seems weird but underclocking definately improves overall performance.
i posted a similiar suggestion in "the problem with hero" thread, as underclocking also solves the sms issue
A better tweak would be to add this to you init.rc:
Code:
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold 40
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load 1
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate 200000
What this does is allow the CPU frequency to ramp up much faster.

So, what you're saying what you suggested would do what a standard overclocker app is intended to do, albeit with better results?
BTW, the script you wrote, enter it in terminal emulator?

I'm adb ignorant, so I'm guessing it involves using adb, or if not, exactly how is that done? What program do you use to open/edit init.rc?

depends. The init.rc is in the boot.img.
You would have to extract the ramdisk from the boot.img, uncpio it, edit the init.rc file, repack the boot.img and either fastboot the boot.img or put it in an update package and reflash.
I can edit the init.rc.

So it looks like you would use notepad to add it to the file?
Or, couldn't you use root explorer on the phone itself to make the changes?

You know I am using setcpu and I had it set to max 528 but I changed it to 384, left it for a few minutes and now I am playing with it and it does feel a little snappier. I wonder why that is. I remember some discussion about overclocking and the restriction of the hardware/OS bottlenecking the processor at a certain point. Would this have something to do with it, or maybe it's just psychosomatic, we believe that it's faster so it feels that way. A placebo affect maybe
Edit: I also found that using Advanced Task Manager differently helped. I used to have it kill all process and it would feel like my phone would bog down afterwards. So I tried using it without killing anything and it felt snappier. So I set it up to leave the background processes and just kill apps that I exit out of and it feels a little better. Just FYI for anyone else that uses a task manager
Do we set max and min both to 384, or the default max 384, min 245?

Set 384 to the max. You can set the minimum to 245 to save a little on battery, or set it to 384 as well to eliminate the "hibernation" mode, like on a pc.
Galaxy core is a mid-range android device with android 4.1.2....The device doesn't has many features and although the device lags too much!!!!
This thread is created for them who want there galaxy core lag free !!! But you can't make too fast and you can't remove all lag!!! You can use your device smoothly....

2.Stock rom will best for this!!
3.Some apps...Links are below!!
**Go to settings and do the next things**
1.Go to location services and unmark all google data.. {They are useful, So enable them when you need it}
2.Go to developer options and change animator duration scale to 0.5x..
3.Go to display settings and set screen timeout to 15 or 30 seconds...
4.Go to display settings and turn off your soft button light, if you don't need them....
5.Set your brightness low...
**Download the following apps from play store, they'll also make your galaxy core lag free and smooth**
+Startup Cleaner ( Title says everything )

Nope!!!
Trelivision said:
It would make it lag, tap on Power-Saving Mode in the Settings Option. (Don't enable it, just tap it). It limits the CPU and if you tap 'Learn More About Power Saving Mode. It says it reduces the frame-rate of the screen. That means lag
See the SS.

Bro enable power saving and remove the tick from limit cpu usage only tick on sceen power saving...that will not make device lag

It also reduces the screen frame-rate though, and there isn't a setting to control that.

Then why so serious???
Enabling Power Saving mode increases lag, see the help section,, it has two sections : Limiting CPU usage to full and other one is lower FPS both will increase lag.
If you wanna move thread to Android Development PM any mod to do so.

Other tips on battery saving and performance
1.Use another launcher. Touchwiz Home is quite laggy and uses alot of resources. Select a new default launcher and freeze Touchwiz using link2sd
(search for it in play store, it requires root)
2. Using link2sd, also freeze weather daemon and widget and yahoo news and widget. You can also freeze the native music player as it also uses alot of resources and use poweramp (for example) instead.
3. Uninstall useless, unused apps. This will save you memory and make your device faster.
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache. Every now and then, whipe your dalvik cache.
The S4 at times faces some serious lag while launching the Recents Menu and after the Lollipop update things have gotten worse.
So to boost things up here are few build.prop edits which can help you to improve the launching speed of Recents Menu and also the overall snappiness of the phone.
ro.config.dha_empty_max=36
ro.config.dha_cached_max=12
ro.config.dha_th_rate=2.3
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=0.545
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_max=70
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_min=8
ro.config.oomminfree_high=7628,9768,11909,14515,16655,20469
Just scroll down at the end of the build.prop and add these lines.
I am sharing this small Mod as it made some difference in speed and overall smoothness.
Tested on Exynos i9500
Well it was on the XDA Portal Posts already : http://www.xda-developers.com/psa-you-can-optimize-your-note-4s-recents-menu-ram/

Wekl thanks i will try later on
Works fine on i9505 with my custom Rom based I9505XXHOF2
Many thanks
Glad to help
juz asking could i make a flashable zip for this mod?
so that if there are any problem occured i could simply flash back the original build.prop
thanks for your help
Some of those lines already exist in my stock build.prop of OE3 firmware. Still , those were made for Note4 which has a lot more cpu power and ram. I don't think keeping up to 70 apps in memory is that great of an option for 2 gb ram.

Excellent settings!! Thanks! !
Sorry to be the one who brings the negative comment, but this mod made the background-apps-killing very very aggressive, it killed very light apps when there was no need to (it killed the phone/contacts, the messaging app and many other apps) and there was no perceptible gain in Recent Apps speed.
EDIT: I'm on Phoenix ROM 11.6 (for i9505) with Imperium Kernel 2.5a with these settings: Governor: Impulse; Sched: FIOPS and the rest is almost defaults
There is a screenshot of how it should look at the end (location of lines in the file)

if you look into info of those two apps they are used for reducing brightness during night mode ie., helps in getting nite mode .
In order to get this feature they are changing RBG values on the phone but once we felt those apps are not much useful and uninstall them RBG values are not being returned to their default values and being struck in the modified values which makes screen to display weird.

Once again try again by formatting your device.
Dont again say formatting bro . People started wiping all partitions due to lack of knowledge ,if u recommend something . kindly say them what to format too instead giving a half bold info
Okay a soft reset i mean.
You can change the dpi on the stock ROM without ROOT by chaging the "smallest width" setting in developer settings. I have mine set to 550 it's looks amazing!
Here is a screenshot of setting menu at 550.
You could also just change the setting in Settings > Display > Advanced > Display Size > Small
411 is default. 434 is the smallest you can go to get an extra icon of space on the status bar (meaning you can fit another icon before you get the overflow dot). 453 is the magic number for the notification side. "Small" per the post above is 484.
Worth it, you can barely notice a difference otherwise. Now if only we had an option to do ONLY the status bar... then we'd be cookin. But this will do for now.

Nope it's not the same. Putting that setting on small does not work on everything. And this way you can go even smaller then the "small" setting.

It actually is. If you change the setting and go into dev options it shows the dpi changed. Only difference is it's defaulting to a predetermined dpi

Yeah the olny problem doing it that way is that the change is not enough to really notice a difference.
unfortunately doing it this way compared to doing it via build.prop makes Swiftkey tiny as well
Any one have a suggestion for something in between stock 411 and small 484? Small is just a bit too much for my taste so looking for a happy medium
can we change the DPI through build.prop yet now that we have root?
I added ro.sf.lcd.density=550 and it doesnt seem to be doing anything
doing it through the developer options makes the keyboard unusable.

Here check if this will work for you! This is the method I was using on my pixel 2 xl it worked great, just one issue is sometimes I could not get the txt edit to save and had to edit the line then got to setting and force stop gboard then go back and save the text file.

I don't have the Pixel yet & I've never tried changing DPI, so forgive me if this doesn't help or if you've already tried this, but Swiftkey has a setting built in to resize the keyboard. I believe it's normally set at "medium", then there is a "large" & "largest" setting to make the keyboard bigger. Go to Swiftkey Settings>Typing>Resize.
