Official rom laggy?

I know stock roms have always been considered "laggy" and this official gingerbread seems to be not very responsive on the screen, choppy, crappy framerate with motion.
I have used custom roms mostly up to this point, but several times have ran stock froyo while in between custom roms and it never seemed this laggy, choppy, unresponsive...whatever you want to call it.
Just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Obviously stock gingerbread probably has better features and things than froyo, but it just seems like stock froyo runs so much better.
Whats the odds they are going to maintain this rom and actually release bug fixes and maintenance updates?
Anyways, ill be headed back to Zeus.

No lag at all with the official GB on my Infuse...actually everything is very smooth.
I hated Froyo and didn't consider it useable.
Note I did do a factory reset after upgrading to GB then installed all my apps.
BUT, if it's not working for ya...certainly go the leaked GB or Zeus...can't lose with those ROMS.

I agree on the screen part, but the system is,overall faster, a lot faster.
Yes, I think touch is,less responsive and Swype is not so satisfying(look at those commas). Space size is smaller and the comma is on the left position of old space
I guess that I have,to press harder in order to be recognized, but when I got used to it, I almost never miss a touch.
I still think it's good to upgrade. The camera app that I like is still there. I used launcherpro to block all those att bloatwares so I don't care if there is any addition.

Its very laggy due to the extra 80mb of crap att and Samsung piled into it..... the leak is quicker and lighter

Its been very snappy for me. I use go Launcher with about 8-10 apps constantly updating in the background, and have never experienced any stutter. Zero screen lag for me. Maybe your throwing too much at your phone at once? idk
Its been pretty amazing. Att apps represent maybe like 4 apps? I just hide or ignore them. No big deal. Anyhow, Ive had 75%+ battery life over the last two days WITHOUT charging!!! ! NICE!
loving this official rom. Although I like all the ICS themed framework from zeus, im not willing to leave this official rom for it. loving it!

FYI, used most of the Infuse's features today..typical use for myself...
SO...unplugged for 14 hours and have 28% remaining.
Not the greatest but kinda what I expected. Will monitor another day then try juice defender to see if it helps (always has before on stock rom...but not much on port/custom roms).

Whooooaaaa... Didnt know there were so many haters on here! LOL! Ok ok Ill say it was more of like 1.5 days. I unplugged yesterday at around 11 am. Used internet a little. Mostly downloaded a bunch of apps, was transferring .png files to it for like 5 hours off and on using wifi file browser. checked facebook. went through several features.
--Looking at my phone now and its like at maybe 35%, When I posted earlier I was just looking at the battery icon and it looked to be just above 50%. Could have been 50%. Either way, I dont think thats bad at all. I couldnt go a full day before without charging regardless of what rom im on.
btw i use a black background on my device with almost 0 widgets save for a pulse reader widget which i have on manual update.
So am I a liar? I certainly dont think so. Are there a lot of people here who find this official rom pointless? probably. Im not one of those people fortunately. Seems rather unfortunate that after such a long time of waiting, some people dont want to grab the official rom. I havent found one thing to dislike about it. But thats just me. Maybe Im special? If so then, kindly disregard this post.
No offense to anyone btw. And sure Ill be looking to the future development of this rom for custom stuff and tweaks. But till then, and maybe after, Im sticking with the stability and performance.

No development from me off the "official" from me considering Zeus is already running the same system. . If we get source is the only time you'll see any more updates from the devs ....

Well I dont know what I am dong wrong but my screen with typing and clicking is definately without a doubt less responsive. If I try to text quickly and dont stop to correct stuff, its just a bunch of jumbled mess that doesnt make sense.
Now I just odined back to stock froyo and the response is 10x better...itll be back to Zeus for me for sure.

haha dont act like you dont! lol!

No lag here, have you thought about doing a factory reset before complaining. You'll need to start clean, backing up data on a Froyo rom and then loading it on a gb rom is just making the new rom dirty. Start clean!
You need to let the new firmware settle. **** isn't going to be super fast when you first install it. 10mins isn't enough, try 3 days then come back and *****

Here we have DianXin OS by tapasoft, it is based on ICS, and its very unique in its own way, no its not miui, totally different approach. Bare in mind few apps(4-5) are in Chinese, but nothing that would impare the use of the phone.
Issues from cm9.
videos cannot be decoded with hardware acceleration, software acceleraiton works fine(use MX video player)
Camera recording does not work
Some graphical flikers with the ui, very rare.

Looks nice. Might have to download and try all these new ICS builds popping up around the forum.
Thanks.

Aww man, data not working Thats a no go for me right there.......
Thanks anyways for the hardwork! Hope you fix it soon! The ui looks fantastic btw, great job!

wao who rated 1 star -_-, this is the reason i took down the gb build. this only has data not working, the rest perfectly fine( of whats working on cm9).

ATM = Aynchronous Transfer Mode? if so, does that mean data works in general (sync) but not in Async mode?
Is that a CM9 issue?

I was wondering why that thread died down.
Honestly dude, if you can't handle negative criticism then I'm not sure why you bother posting your work. In no way am I saying your roms are bad or anything, I haven't even tried them yet, but what I'm getting at is that there are always people that do not like it or whatever.
My advise to you is that you ignore those people, don't let negative comments discourage you and whatnot. Removing your gb release because people were complained about it seems a little childish. No offense
Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying this out. Thanks!

Then you need to just remove the two Roms that don't have data if your just going to abandon them. I don't understand the point of posting them with no data if you don't plan on at least fixing them. Just saying.

meh, why post a build with no working data and expect people to like it?

sent from the scary door.....

I won't touch the S4 until it's been out a few months.
I'm done with buying brand new phones and flashing this or that AOSP port while all the kinks get worked out.
Better to stick with the S3 until ROM's & accessories are widely available for the S4.
Oh, but I WILL be going S4 as soon as that first killer AOSP ROM is finally bug free.
It took three months on the S3 for that to happen. Then it sucked again while everyone dumped the ICS AOSP before finishing adding all the extra super cool features, and instead started working on JB AOSP. Which took another three months to get all the features & bugs worked out.

Right.
Age has probably just caught up with me as I do not feel the urge to flash my phones anymore.
Even my good ol' international GS1 isn't up to par anymore even though I still use it almost every day.
It's lagging at leat 4 versions behind in both ROM and kernel lol

We might not even have to wait for a port. Look at the comments in that article, someone with a leaked 4.2 for i9300 (international GS3) shows a screenshot with "Smart Scroll"!
Worthiness: I worry about implementation. Facial recognition is nothing new; we've had that for decades. Retinal recognition (or pupil, I guess) sounds too new. And will it work everywhere? Do all apps have a "scroll" function? What about Flipboard and Currents, which are more like "next page" functions?

You're really missing out then. Some of the new 4.2.2 ROM's like CyanogenMod, LiquidSmooth and Vanilla Rootbox are pretty freakin incredible lately. All the good options are starting to go back into the AOSP ROM's now. And these are very reliable also.
I haven't had an SOD since 4.1.2.

I am looking foward to seeing this in action maybe i will spend less time cleaning my screen lol

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/06...ts-leak-confirm-smart-scroll-and-smart-pause/
It's not eye-scrolling. It's head-angle detecting. So, if you lean your head "down," it scrolls. And it can be adjusted per application (Chrome and GMail are two 3rd party apps listed with support).

i as well just bought my s3 on a separate line and only cause i bought it refurb for 29$ to hold me off till the s4. but i also agree on waiting the usual 3+ months.

4.2.2 slim once the WiFi gets fixed

When the WiFi gets unborked it will be my daily room. Great job beast. If there is anyway a simpleton like myself can help you ( with the WiFi) besides giving you a thumps up let me know . O and for the real dark slim users it's incorporated in the ROM options now so no need to search for trds version of gapps. Just thought I would throw that out there to maybe save one someone a couple minutes to figure that out. Once again beast thanks for all your hard work. WiFi would = perfection. I know it must be ****ing a tricky ass problem if the all powerful beast does not have it fixed. Yes I'm a **** for basically asking for WiFi but you know at least im a honest ****.

We want it fixed as bad as anyone. Neither Beast nor I have data. lol He's been busy as hell. I was honestly surprised he managed to push this out.

OK I have been thinking of my post and I feel like a selfish asshole . I'm just going to reflash 4.1.2 and stop *****ing and just be Happy we have such great developers to even give us a glimpse at 4.2.2. Sorry beast

Thanks vismus, I think if everyone stopped bugging beast and other developers about bugs and let him do his thing we would all be happier.
Let's appreciate that team acid and others helped get us to 4.0 then beastmode even got us to a stable 4.1.2, we would have been stuck on 2.3 if it weren't for them. None of them had to release their work for us, they chose to for the benefit for the community.
And none of them have to continue work on this device, they could drop support today and our device would be dead
Less entitlement, more appreciation and understanding for the developers please.

I've been using this one : 4.3 deodex
Its deodexed and zipaligned so it feels just slighty faster then the actual stock 4.3 not to mention he's thrown a few tweaks in for centre clock and 4 way reboot. if you flash the 2 extra files.

Kangabean son! To be honest there are a lot of tw features I miss but that rom is so dam snappy. Zero lag. Once Paul O'Brien makes that dual boot app for the s4 I might consider tw again.

It is a bit bland, but I've gotten used to it. As much fun as it'd be to have all the bells and whistles of Cyanogenmod, PA, AOKP, and others, having a rock solid phone is just priceless. Everything works, and there are very rarely any random inexplicable issues. I use my Nexus 7 2013 for goofing around, so I still have something to be crackflashy with when I get in the mood.

I've tried and I go back to Omega v9. Are there any other 4.3 type of roms anyone can recommend?

Bland is not the only word for it....basic is another.

I ran them on other phones, not here yet. But, once flashed they get boring quickly imho. I like the many features TW offers. Also read TiBu not working on 4.3. I'm not sure I can do without that. From a psychological standpoint anyway--
I still will try one at some point after they are a little more polished. Can't resist new roms--
Still on Wicked and waiting to see what evil does with that thread. There is a v6 in works. But, not sure it will appear on XDA. Hope so. I follow him on Twitter--

Usually there's an app comparable to whatever feature you're missing from the carrier version of Android or a mod if your phone is rooted.
Imo it's better that way to pick and choose what you want instead of a big ol block of bloat that you prob. only use 25% of and choke the CPU, memory and battery of your phone.

In my experience odex roms run faster than deodex.

I've never really noticed a difference. I have a feeling it's one of those things that really doesn't make a huge difference on high-end phones.

I've tried to download omega about 10 times and it's times out or just won't install. I've tried a GE3 rom and agree it's to basic for me. The camera and the amount of debloated TW roms keep me quite happy for now. Customizing is the whole point of android and open source.

I'm not impressed with GE edition ,it looks a lot like cyanogenmod 10.1/10.2
I've not been a fan of cyanogenmod since cyanogenmod 7 when I had my LG thrill 4g .sucks to bash cause I know cyanogenmod runs good,just plain.

If everything works is your goal, then 4.2.2 is the best time for you.

I found that the battery life on these GE ROMs aren't that great. That's why I came back to TW, and for the Apps2SD support, as well as TW camera.

I was using the 4.2.2 GE I customized myself, and although it worked really good, I have an issue in at my house where I live on the fringe of LTE coverage and needed to switch it to HSPA only when home. On TW based ROMs you can just use the *#*#4636#*#* and go into Device Information and switch it to "WCDMA Preferred", which works great. Unfortunately that code doesn't work on the GE ROMs. If someone knows how to do get into that menu with a code that works on a GE ROM I would love to know.
So I went back to a MF3 ROM that I customized and debloated myself. It runs really good, but I would much rather be using a GE ROM.
What I like about the GE ROMs is that it is the way Google intended it to be, but I will agree that it can be a bit bland. But being that Android is highly customizable, you can change it to whatever you wish.
If anyone wants to check out my Debloat list for MF3, here is the thread I made.

I was trying to get rid of the majority of the Samsung crap and make it as close to GE as I could and still maintain the TW backbone.

I find Touchwiz to be slow. No matter what ROM I try or how tweaked the tom may be, its always slow. Every time I switch from a GE ROM to w TWrROM, I always find myself switching back to the GE ROM after a few days. You just can't beat the speed!

If you use the updated SuperSu 1.51 zip (I believe 1.51 is the latest) then TiBu works. Used it on 4.3 slim bean yesterday
