I like default launcher on this tablet, but i know that the problem with it responsivness somewhere in source code.
Is there any way to hack and rebuild default launcher for speed? I know that some smartphones got this hack.
i'm adding up several thing on my build prop base on 6800 custom rom... and its work well... head here if you want to give it a try...

decompile apk, you can enable hardware acceleration ( in bools.xml I think ) and also opening/closing times of app drawer & apps, etc. in milliseconds. ( in some values .xml)
Or maybe you can just use another Launcher
You know, I got a Motorola Xoom a Galaxy Note and now I even got the Tab 7 plus.
On Xoom with custom ICS ROM and an overclocked kernel (who can reach 1.7Ghz), my alternative launcher is smooth and fast (even if is a 10.1")
On Note with a custom GB ROM and a custom kernel with (increased GPU value) my alternative launcher is even smooth and fast
BUT... I must confess that on the Tab 7 with OEM kernel and ROM, this launcher is even smoother and faster
Really strange thing
Ps
Launcher is ADW EX (which is the best one IMO)

Ever wonder why your phone can't run a game smoothly as another device which has lower performance specifications? I sometimes ask myself this with 1.2ghz quad core cpu and powervr sgx544 gpu along with 1GB ram runs Asphalt 8 laggy at high or even medium settings? While a 480x800 HVGA phone runs it with better performance? See thats the problem right there a resolution of 720x1280 GPU will run slower than a 480x800 Same GPU. Why am I doing this well I got tired of hearing games not optimized for my gpu and seeing that lower end phones running games I cant run.
So i decided to do some research of my GPU and have understand that it's a capable GPU and then i thought to myself what if i can change game resolution for more performance similar to a PC or i tried HVGA games on my WVGA and it was faster. That was the moment i can run asphalt 8 on high settings now thanks to changing resolution. I have seen a lot of apps and saw where someone tried it and stuck at bootloop well this App is safe to use, although i can't guarantee that!
READ CAREFULLY!
Root Devices Required for this to work!
Requires root on Android 4.3 and higher.( i got 4.2 and it worked)
Google Play
NOMone Resolution Changer
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer ( i need 10 post total to insert links)
This app you can see your current settings to the top - Width x Height - DPI (Mines 720x1280 320dpi)
You can revert back to that default settings if you messed up or you can try a custom settings and if you can't see navigation bars or or even the virtual keys JUST PANIC OMG I'm just kding do nothing and it automatically reverts back in 10 seconds.
You can also choose a preset, there are from QVGA to WVGA resolutions.
Simply set a custom or preset settings and see it instantly activated no reboot required you don't have to go into build.prop file either.
1.) If app says superuser denied..go find superuser or SU# if u have it installed as an app and allow it manually.
2.) Changing resolution problems can happen if you lower your height resolutions your soft touch keys might not work, ENABLE virtual keys in app settings and tick the bars your going to need eg back, menu, task etc.
3.) If you happened to set a resolution and you select SKIP revert and your phone locks and half of the lock screen is cut off which means you cannot slide to unlock try sliding screen to right side my camera opens up and my phone is unlock again. I don't know about other devices so i ''HIGHLY RECOMMEND'' do not leave phone unattended for lock screen to activate. IF YOU DO SO restarting phone won't help you will be stuck.
You can try Different resolutions take a look here copy paste into address bar...pacoup.com/2011/06/12/list-of-true-169-resolutions/
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 600x1280
Asphalt 8 Significance performance increased.
Nova 3 Runs smoother than before.
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 320x480(dont look that bad its like 800x600 on 16:9 wide screen)
I can noticed fps is around 50-60 in Asphalt 8
This should work for all phones in the requirement field. It's like changing PC game resolution which increases fps according to the bottleneck.
Note : This is just a guide I'm not the owner of this app
and i don't take any responsibility if something happens to your phone.
hahaha
Well it worked for me lmfao :laugh::laugh:
I wonder if this is safe, can anyone post more feedback?
if it works 100%, thank you very much for sharing

yea it's safe because if anything goes wrong it automatically switches back your're resolution after 10 seconds. Just ensure that you're Root on Android 4.3 and higher(i have 4.2 and it worked) GL
@Mad VIbes too bad ther isnt any lower i can go for my phone other than 240x320 for ace plus i need 4.3 also meh

Yea man but i think there are 4.3 and also 4.4 on xda for ace plus don't know if it's stable because I'm not sure though
Much Better If...
I think it's much better if you use the Xposed Module AppSettings. It also has Per-App Resolution Changer, and it's much easiee to use, and probably more efficient

Will this work in 2021?
found this group called "TEAMFORCE" they make solid ROMS for jiayu devives
Android L Themed 4.4.2 ROM
inc, L keyboard, and L transitions.
androidteamforce.es/rom-g4s-g5s-android-l-style-4-4-2-tf-team-force-2
site is in spanish...
JIAYU G4S in question.
iv been using this as a daily driver, and is amazing!
its very smooth, Runs ART stock out of the box, and best of all ITS STOCK ANDROID!
Iv been using this with Nova Launcher, since the google now laucher on this rom doesnt have transparent status bar
updating to newest google now launcher has same issue
The battery life is amazing, standby for almost 10 hours, doesnt loose 1% of battery, iv gone entire weekends without charging! (note g4s 300mah version)
on screen time is also very good
Xposed also works, but obviously NO ART SUPPORT!
Camera app is very decent, although its not a google camera, its still very good.
Pros:
Butter smooth
Stock Android 4.4.2
Good features
Battery is Incredible
google dialer stock
Cons:
Gps doesnt function well (but all mediatek phones have terrible gps)
Google launcher has no transparency for status bar.
can be some slow downs because the cpu touch is default =2 cores (see reccomendations)
answer call dialer is abit strange..
recommendations:
NOVA LAUNCHER. (buy prime, its great)
CPU ADJUSTER. (make default profile, 15000 sample rate, touch cpu = 4 and Deadline.) (make screen off time same, but limit max cpu usage to 728mhz) (NOTE: this uses a7 cores which are very power efficent, iv tested 4 cores vs 2 cores on touch, and battery life is very similar.)
enjoy this guys
AND! Thank you Team Force for all your effort, and keep up the amazing work, i hope one day you end up in the league of other amazing rom makers on XDA
how to you install it?
My 3e recovery do not seem to like their rom and recovery
Hi, I'm using Google Maps app and I've found out that this phone does not have inertia. Why is this happening? How is it possible, since Maps app is generic for all devices (I'm pretty sure that all the Samsung Galaxy Core 2's have this problem).
No Samsung Music player, weird Touchwiz version, no inertia in Maps... what the hell is going on with this phone?
It seems to be a chinese replica of a Samsung phone that comes without official firmware and weird apps!

Inertia - slide is currently disabled because of the different android OS/API/JS workaraund
https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api...ed+Summary+Stars+ApiType+Internal&cells=tiles
Why weird apps ? The only thing not fixed enaught from start is boot / recovery.
Other apps are written specialy for this type of phone. A lot of things not needed by release nas been changed by Samsung the references weren't deleted, so don't wory about some chinese leftowers
And about the player : The player is Samsung's and made specialy for this phone, just like the libs for it and all other libs for mix,effects ...
And maps and other apps are not "generic" for all "devices" !
It depends on the phone's API and other compatibility issues and references/components.
I don't know why people always messing about that things, you can always install other launcher/app and make it default or disable app/system package.

OK, here's the story, I had like 1 month ago 3 devices: Samsung Galaxy Young 2, Galaxy Core 2 and Express 2. All of them with Android 4.4.2, with all the apps up to date, and everything mostly the same.
So, Young 2 and Core 2 were almost the same weird experience in terms of software, and the Express 2 was a Samsung like any other Samsung out there, let me explain:
1. Maps in the first 2 devices had no inertia, whereas Express 2 had it. Same app version. Someone explain that to me.
2. Touchwiz in the first 2 devices had this weird version with only 4 icons in the lower bar, different interface, different menu options (worse), and you know, it simply wasn't the same Touchwiz I saw in every other Samsung.
3. No Samsung Music player, what the hell, in the first 2 devices.
4. YouTube app was not the same, yeah, it was different. The search button was in the menu option, while in any other Samsung it was right in the middle of the upper bar/section. Same YouTube app. I had no idea what was going on. Like a week or so, YT got updated and this is fixed now, but anyways, that was really weird.
5. I don't know, those 2 devices had many other different things in settings that made me feel like If I was using a chinese copy of a Samsung phone. I couldn't even put a shortcut to Manage Applications with that weird Mass Launcher version of Touchwiz.
6. The Dialer menu, contacts interface and all of that is simply ugly, poorly implemented (my old Neo V showed contact's pictures in a much higher resolution), it's not the same as all the other Samsung's interfaces.
And also, I have 1 big hardware problem, and I think it's not my phone, but all the Galaxy Core 2's. The touchscreen limit is wrong, it does not recognize the very end of the 4 screen sides (the 4 edges), it only starts to recognize your fingers like 4mm or more from the edge, and that hinders many gestures, specially when scrolling a right side bar, or sweeping from the left to show up a menu, or moving a song's time bar to the beginning (I can only move it to 0:04 sec, cause I can't move it more to the left).
The mix of these bad experiences is what makes me feel like I'm not using a Samsung phone. Besides, the screen of this phone is one of the worst screens I have ever seen. It's way superior the screen of my old Neo V. The viewing angles are a joke, I know it's a budget phone, low-cost and all that, but seriously, the screen is SO awful, you rotate just 1 º your phone and the colors are starting to change and they get distorted. My Neo V was also a budget phone and had an amazing screen. I'm not protesting about the resolution, or colors, they are good enough, I wasn't looking for a Super Amoled screen, but man, this screen is so bad.
Yeah, I know I can install another launcher. Actually the true is that I didn't know 'till I got this phone in my hands. That mass launcher version was so awful that I started reading about Home screen (launcher) and discovered what a launcher was, and "thanks" to the awful Touchwiz version, I'm using Nova launcher, that totally rocks and I really really love it. I don't care about Samsung's player neither, I use jetAudio plus, which is far better, but you know, you don't like when a Samsung phone comes without a Samsung player (just like all the Samsung phones out there). And Maps and YouTube weird behaviors, and a ultra low resolution photos in the Conctacts interface (and when receiving a call too), and all those things make you really question if you're actually using a original Samsung. You gotta think too about the people can't spend time reading and learning what is a launcher and all that stuff.
After a month of use, I can really complain about the horrendous screen and the dialer weird app, though that doesn't remove the very first bad experience. That's all. No, stop, I was forgetting something, If it was't for you, I'd still getting mad at Samsung because when you volume up to 80%, this freaking weird phone shows up a warning saying that listen to loud music can damage your ears. I'm root, I have Gravity Box, and I can completely remove that warning from hell. You can't deactivate it without Gravity Box and being root. That's another BIG joke, man. Samsung, what the hell. Thanks God I found your post and I could root the phone and install Xposed framework.

1.Default stock google maps in GC2 is specialy made for different GC2, try deinstaling or disable and install from Market.
2.Same with touchwiz stock, specialy made for GC2 devices
3.GC2 uses specialy made modules, libs and mixer
About other stuff, like "resolution", margin borders,screen grids, effects and transitions, speed between them
Different launcher uses different configs, it's not just touch error or prog error, all can be reset or changed.
I'm not here to judge about that things and what crapy phone I'm using too, just trying to make the best of it, but sometime it is the best to use other progs and see what's the difference and how are things with other apps.
Stock apps/system apps are made specialy for those models.
Have noticed it myself while trying to make updated version of google apps as system apps ( Custom rom - specialy google play services ).
Have noticed that the update version via Market works good, but if you try to update updated version as default system ( as custom rom ) apps you will end with corner, too much dependencies and rechanged or modified libs, modules are "ported" or recreated to GC2 phones, FC problems are literary problem for custom stock roms.
That is the primary deal this types of phones won't stand stable support and updates.
The major problem is that some apps are not generic ( from stock rom ) so they are different and made specialy for this type of model.
API's should work fine and they are carefully indexed, just like apps, but frameworks are not fully compatible or they are partialy ported/recreated/changed to this type of model. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't know how to say it right.

Guys im just wondering if what settings do you prefer for the animation scale,window animation,transition in dev options in your s6 6.0
Mine is set to 0.5 notice faster responsiveness but sometimes stutter a little bit,right now i changed to default which is x1 notice the smooth scrolling at the expense of zero or minimum chance to stutter,is this also affect battery life
What guys do you use? Default or what? Please vote guys thanks
Thanks for the answers and idea it will also help others to determine what is best to their likings:laugh:
for exact same reason, I use between 0.5 and 1! 0.75x for the win!
Some roms out there have 0.75x. You can add it be decompiling secsettings2 too.

Oh you are rooted,mine isnt,just dont want to root now because im waiting for 7.0 update atleast i dont have to download the whole firmware if im not rooted
Back to topic,so it means only rooted phone to change more options for 0.75x ?
I think 0.75 is the perfect one also
