Dropdown notification bar lag on jb - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So the one thing I loved about the gs3 was the fact that the dropdown was perfect...60fps no matter what was going on..always perfect. Well of course Samsung had to absolutely ruin that with jb and it's now like half the framerate than ics was, and it's slow and clunky and downright bad compared to ics. Are there any jb roms out there running the ics dropdown or a modified version? I'm pretty sure that whole fading background as it comes down is what lags it out.

nobody, huh?
they seriously took 2 steps forward and like 4 backwards with this update. don't understand how this doesn't bug anyone else. the notif dropdown on the lockscreen lags to all hell and just isn't smooth at all. it's worse on lockscreen than it is when you're unlocked, but it's still choppy.

Looks pretty damn smooth to me...

Smooth as can be for me. Rooted and not rooted.

Jayochs has vision that sees in 120fps... Lol. It is slightly slower but that is the trade off I guess.

I agree that the drop down is noticeably slower and pretty choppy at times.

im glad other people do notice it. It's nothing like it was on ics. i actually went and flashed cm10 then put on a touchwiz skin just so it looks stock but is quicker. cm10 isn't even smooth but it's better than touchwiz.

it's always laggy for me after first unlocking the screen. On synergy 169 with lean kernel 1.6

I've flashed various TW ROMs (Hyperdrive, CleanROM, and BoneStock) - all of them exhibit the same stutter with pulling down the Notification drawer. I'm also using Stock Kernal and the stutter exists regardless if I'm running at 1.5ghz Max (Performance/Noop).
I have been tempted to flash over to an AOSP ROM with a custom kemal. Can anyone comment if that'll fix the issue?

Am I the only one that finds ICS slower than GB?

I don't mean slower in overall phone speed, but things like typing on the keyboard and bringing up the task manager seem to take forever.

Nah I've noticed it too. I went back to GB via Nexusmod earlier and forgot how much overall faster it was. ICS isn't that smooth. Probably why they are rushing 4.1 and "project butter"

Mine is Noticably Slower...
I agree. I updated my Skyrocket to 4.0.4 this morning. I find several issues with this software. I believe I'm going to look into CM9 now...

Cm9 is still ICS and still buggy.

GB is smoother for sure , but for sure less features ..
So it's your choice ..
By "smoother", I think they meant they added more transition effects. Like, when you're watching a video and you rotate orientation, it'll show an animation of it switching orientation as opposed to it just switching. I like it, but then I don't.

Agreed. Flash Sky ICS and leave stock in the rear view. The only good thing about the official release is source code.

The other useful feature that I miss is date in the notification bar. When you pull down notification bar down it use to show date now it's showing huge useless at&t branding. Kinda stupid.. We've got at&t permanent title in front of us below camera and on the lock screen which btw disappears after 2 seconds. Why do we need 3 att logos? Constantly to remind us that we're on att network?

You agree to it. You sing a contract.
BTW i don't know what all of you talking about with slow ICS. I get upgrate and i think ICS is at last twice faster then GB... Or this is just me..
Well it's not slow.
Anyone noticed Yellow Pages in your contacts list? And for some reasons when try to open my contacts some att address book subscription update message pops out?

Wow I can't believe your still on GB
Chimaira Android 4.0.4 (Beta2)
I don't believe that it's Android, rather the poor development on AT&T and Samsung. From what I understand, CM9 is relatively stable and now with the official out, hopefully a stable version will release soon.
I hear CM9 is quite snappy. While this update isn't terrible, but noticeably more sluggish than GB...

[Q] Does JellyBean feel *heavy* to anyone? Especially the notification bar?

Hey guys I have been on Knzo's Chocolate with Marmite for a while and while its certainly a great combo, JellyBean just *feels* heavy. Its not slow or anything but it just feels *heavy* you know? Also, the notification bar REALLY lags when I pull it down and its certainly not as fast as ICS. Is anybody experiencing the same problem? Or questions?
Thanks!
Nope

Really? Hmm I don't know I did a full wipe and everything! I mean its smooth but the notification lag really kills the experience :/
I haven't had any lag either.. Not notification bar..
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I think the heaviness thing is true for the notification tray.. it must be the fact that its not transparent, and the text on top seems a little crowded to me. However, performance is as good as ever.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
It's not just you. It lags really bad on my phone too, whatever the ROM/Kernel combo.
It becomes a whole lot faster when I disable Google Now, however that kind of defeats the object of running JB instead of ICS.
I'm almost certain that it's a limitation of only having 512mb RAM.

Oh.. No.. Mine is lighting responsive! I am using ts5 rom.. Which for me is better than others. Including codename..
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Hmm whats the *ts5* rom? I've tried anything and everything and the notification bar just flat out lags. But everything else is very smooth so it makes going back to ICS kind of hard haha :/
my CM10 is fast and stable
I've tried cm10, aokp jb and slim bean, and while I found slim bean to be the best (by far, the only to not to freeze and reboot with 1.2ghz overclock) of these three, all three of them had the same problem with graphics intensive games (Dead Space, NOVA 3, Modern Combat 3) where they would lag like crazy and the controls would freeze. This NEVER happened with cm9. Games ran incredibly smooth with cm9. BUT...I was so impressed with how far and away better Slim Bean was than the others that I'm going to give Slim ICS a try when I have a chance to flash it.
Other than the graphic intensive games that lag, I think JB is great and loved Google Now, but I can live without it as the ICS roms are (I have found) just as smooth and more usable than the JB roms at this point.

oh sorry about that.. haha.. its actually called "JellyB-TSM 5" but I think around yesterday its already updated to version 6. You can check it out under the nexus s android development section.. For me it is fast.. but some other people might have different experience. So just create a nandroid backup.. and give that ROM a flash.. and see how it turns out.. any problem you can simply revert via nandroid.. hehe.. :good:

Made the plunge

Just picked up a brand new galaxy s3. Loving it so far. 1st question of many. How can I get all my emails to show up? I synced my emIl account but it still shows 0 in the in box.
Edit: scratch that I guess it need a min to load.
What's a good stockish rom? I cant rememeber what I had on my nexus. I thinknit was akop. Do they have a rom for the s3.

I think Synergy is hands-down the best Touchwiz ROM for the GS3.
You want tw or aosp?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
CleanRom has the fewest mods, so it should be the most stable. Synergy has a ton of extra mods. Can't go wrong either way. I am running CleanROM 4.5 and have not found a reason to update.
Welcome to the club. You'll love the phone!
Try Beans 11 or clean rom 5.6
Yeah I'm loving it so far. Coming from a droid X, galaxy nexus, and now a galaxy s3 I can see a great improvement. The 1 thing that irritates me is the typing isn't as smooth as ios. It's alot better with swift keyboard but still not as smooth as I want.
I went with synergy rom and it's great. I'm guessing it's touchwiz since it comes with the touchwiz launcher (I like apex launcher).
I'll probably give aokp a try since I liked it on my nexus.
Oh yeah love the multi Window that's just bad***!

Going from AOSP to TW Rom..

I have been on AOSP roms on my d2vzw for 6 months but there are just some deal breakers right now (reboots, a2dp, etc.) and I think I have to bite the bullet and go back to a TW based rom. I know there are about 3 out there. I guess Beans, Hyperdrive, and cleanrom. It looks like beans takes a while to update, hyperdrive seems to have some lockscreen issues and cleanrom isnt vesy customizable (e.g. cant change the toggles in notification drawer). What would you guys think is the best of the 3? How quickly will I want to go back to an AOSP rom? Thoughts?
It's all personal preferance. Nobody can pick the "best" rom for you. Try a few out and see how you like them. And for my reply won't be 100% usless, cleanrom 6 is great. It's smooth, fast, and all that jazz

You can try Delta Two... It's a customizable TW rom. I was just on it but switched back to AOSP and flashed Carbon

Indesicive

Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.
You can still run this, but I suggest you try the things that you want installed, and those that you think you can live without remove them. I think that will make a huge difference.

If flashing something different I'd say check out Andybones bonestock ROM. Along with the AOSP theme. Slicker than owl snot as my dad would say.

Also = AOSP, right? Well there's Halo, nightlies, "less" lag, faster updates (currently at Jb 4.2.2, TW is at 4.1.2), no TW bloat, (customizable) soft keys, and a host of other things. It's not what AOSP has that TW doesn't, sometimes it's what AOSP does not have which is why folks choose to avoid TW.
