When ICS leaks/releases, we should look into this:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/
It's pretty much a given that ICS for the Atrix 2 will offer at least some sort of performance improvement...but if we thought stock ICS was fast, what would our phone look like with this type of performance optimization added on top of that?

Agreed. I'm running the Linaro AOKP build on my GNex and its verrrry snappy. Can't wait until they integrate it into the Milestone CM9

This should be great. We should see if there's any way to bring the parts into stock ICS without all the CM9 custom bits

Question about project butter

Hey. This may be a stupid question. But does project butter affect just the launcher, or does it also affect apps that use Hardware acceleration, such as 3d games. As in, do games run smoother on jellybean roms?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

It affects everything. the whole visual experience though vsync, triple buffering etc. For example, I use a Samsung galaxy s on cm10. I find that temple run as smooth as cm9 and this isnt a fully optimized build, even though everything works. So by the time we get to jb RC's or even later nightlies, it will blow cm9 away. Even without /datadata
So, to answer the question, yes it makes games smoother and affects everything, not just the launcher.

Thanks for the kind and thorough answer. Makes the wait for kernel source worse... Wishing for the best

Curious about JB on S3.

How do the jelly beam ROMs run on the s3? I'm addicted to it on my nexus will it perform as well on the S3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Just got my S3 and rooted/unlocked/backed up IMEI then began to flash. Right now running Paranoid Android and looking for a good kernel. But it's running very smooth and I haven't found any bugs with the latest build on PA. When I say smooth I mean Nexus 7 smooth. Jellybean on the Gnex seemed to get bogged down at times but haven't found that at all on the S3.
I had to do something quick though as Touchwiz is just not for me.

Yeah I thoroughly dislike touchwiz (minus the camera features). So jb functions properly and flies on the jb ROMs available then?

You will be pleasantly surprised how well JB runs. I have to UC my phone because its not necessary to run it at stock speeds on AOSP roms.
The Devs are making great strides on fixes and putting out some great JB roms. from CM10, Liquid, AOKP and soon BAMF Paradigm you'll find something you'll like

What is the best Rom for Verizon GS3? in terms of speed and performance

I wonder what's the fastest stable rom for the verizon Galaxy S3, in terms of Speed and performance, Personally I think Senergy is the one, any other Ideas... thanks

I think it comes down more to how bloated/bloatfree the rom is and the kernel imo
I'm pretty happy with my JB AOKP rom, though and feel JB is quicker than ICS

Ya all the mainstream cm10 roms are overwhelming since there are 4+ of them and I have no idea what separates them.

CM10 nightlies are decently stable, very fast, ParanoidAndroid nightlies are pretty stable and fast. Synergy is good, but for me there was a delay in the screen unlocking and the in call volume setting won't stick. I've been using CleanRom 2 now, all is good

Clean ROM 2.0 is very fast an most of all, stable.

Synergy definitely. Currently testing out the new ParanoidAndroid for now though.

Personally I use almost all roms, and I was Senergy fan, but some how Clean Rom is the fastest, smoothest and most stable GS3 Rom I've ever seen, it's smooth like a babe, lol

I really got to try clean rom. I'm just too addicted to the dark horse rises theme and synergy's utter greatness. Personally I think right now (today) the jb rom's are just not there yet, but that's just me. Tomorrow is a different story.....

Jb should get better after the official release. Right now I'm rocking cleanrom

I much prefer CM10 to Synergy or Clean Rom. Tried them both and for some reason I just love the look and responsiveness of CM10 more. Granted there are data hiccups here and there but the latest nightly has fixed that issue. Try experimenting with different kernels and ROMs and im sure you will find a combination that works best for you.

I get the best battery life on this.

I'm on synergy with clean kernel at 1.9 and I tingle every time I turn on my phone

TW has some good features I'd hate to give up - e.g. the video player, camera, music player are all fantastic apps, better than anything in AOSP.

The video player is outstanding although there you can run multiple programs in AOSP to replace it
I agree the camera is irreplaceable
I only use Play Music so I cannot comment too much on the TW music player
But ParanoidAndroid (scarce bugs aside) really is so unique I can't go back to TW at this current time

If you want stability go with 4.0

To be honest I've tried every Rom. And even stock this phone is buttery smooth. I have had almost every high end android phone Verizon has sold. The s3 is the only phone out of a about my 8 other phones I've had in the last few years that I have never seen lag or stutter. It is perfect and always smooth. Way better then the GNEX or rezound I had. I've had the s3 since launch in July and I have not seen it lag yet. This phone has truly impressed me and I'm very picky.

Cleanrom @ 1.9 ghz is stupid fast and super reliable.

I've tried them all and always end up back on clean rom. I always find something buggy on the others, not so on Clean rom.

Does clean Rom have mobile hotspot the vzw one,I pay for it would like to keep it, also how's the gps and signal on this Rom? Thanks in advance.

Disappointing performance.

So I have the US version and I've had it for a while (about a month) and I'm really disappointed with the performance. Scroll lags, the notification shade pulls down smoother on a galaxy player (that has less than 500mb of ram and is single core) and the 3d gaming performance is laggy. Like GTA3 should be able to run on max settings! Just disappointed and expected more.

OK? Why post this? Why not just get a new phone? Have you tried any other ROMs?

I played Tactics Ogre on my phone and Dead Trigger with no problems. Plus with most ROMs I don't encounter the same lag you have experience.

Maybe Powersave mode is on...

Sorry, the rest got cut out for some reason. I was asking if anyone else had this problem.
And a new phone is not an option. My family is on forclosure on the house right now so I might just cancel my data plan and use this as like an iPod.

Idk man, I've not had much lag at all. I've been rooted since the day I got it of course, so I've been running custom ROMs for a while.

Try flashing Cyanogen Mod from the original android section. General ui is much snappier and it doesn't have game lag like all the 4.1.2 TW ROMs.
Samsung really dropped the ball with the 4.1.2 updates. A phone this powerful should not lag playing temple run.

I get some lag while playing ingress and minecraft. Kinda annoying but it's better than my old phone and I hope my next is better than this one.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Are you running it stock? Phone runs great with custom stock ROMs & Kernals, but everyone has their own opinions. The games i've played ive not have any lag, but i'm running a custom kernal and ROM. That probably has is the difference, but i'm not overclocked.

well there's only two things that are certain in this world.... no tech device is ever perfect and taxes always increase.
If you expect anything different you will always be disappointed.
That being said, I had ANdroid phones since the HTC Eris and they keep improving. S3 is really nice, maybe the best of this generation, but its not perfect.
Lots of people are looking for infinite gaming speed + infinite battery life... well the two don't go together. There are always trade-off. speed vs. power, vs. size, vs. cost.
Oh and by the way, multi-core is mostly a marketing gimmick. The GPU does most of the graphics work and most apps are not multi-threaded, so a fast single core beats a slower multi-core every time. It's cheaper to make a slow multi-core processor than to make a faster single core.

I also noticed lag on the device which i put off was caused by Touch Wiz. I confirmed this when i finally rooted and started trying different ROMs.
The lag is there in all TW ROM's for me; however if you really want to stick with TW, the smoothest running TW ROM I've tried so far is Goodness. That is what i'm currently using. I don't experience lag during gaming or Apps though even with touch wiz... so might be just your phone.
However, if you can do without touchwiz, the AOSP ROMs are like butter and i experience no lag at all. At least the 4.2.2 ROMS. I've tried Liquidsmooth, paranoid android, Pac-man and Chameleon.

Crazy I'm 100 % stock and my phone runs awesome! I don't do much gaming so I can't chime in on that but I don't have lag at all like you describe. Do you have a live wallpaper installed??

I've tried a lot of the TW based ROM, Synergy, Hyperdrive , others and all the well developed one's run great for me. I don't see any lag. I also tried CM10 and no noticeable difference, I think a lot of the comment are caused by placebo effec, some people just hate OEM stufft. Also people will load up their home screens with 3000 widgets and say wow this phone / rom sucks, LOL m Then they load some new ROM with no widgets yet and go, wow this is really smooth....... until they load 3000 widgets and it sucks again. Hey , there really is a limit to performance on any phone.
