I've noticed that Marshmallow software from our mighty Samsung suffers from some modest recent apps screen lag. Moving through apps cards feels a bit stuttery and heavy (whereas everything else is lightning fast and smooth as butter). Am I the only one experiencing this? I feel like it came out some time after performing a factory reset. I'm running the latest version of XtreStoLite ROM, clean cache everyday (with SDMaid) and don't use crappy apps like for example Facebook which slow Android down significantly.
BTW,
I remember that I used to use some custom kernel for some short period of time (arter kernel probably?) and the problem seemed to be completely gone as I recall. Maybe that's the stock kernel related issue then

So my Galaxy s3 all of a sudden started to have stutters, i have a custom rom Foxhound 2.3, and when i try any custom kernel it lags as hell. (Stock also gives stutters so its not kernel related i think)
For example perseus stutters my phone in app drawer and every time i open an application.
Syah 1.8.9. although its better, still have some stutters...
the only one that can have the phone more stable is the stock one. I dont really mind having the stock kernel its just that it makes the phone more stable but it still stutters when opening apps and in the app drawer.
Its weird because in applications i have no problems, and when im playing games is all good to.. even the more heavy intensive ones. Also my boot and shutdown animation stutter or jitters a little bit.. a thing that dint happened.
Also the benchmarks are good as always +/- 16000 on antutu, no changes... so i don't really understand whats happening...
Steps so far:
-Tested other custom roms including CM10.1 Nightly
-Tested various kernel.
-Flashed stock rom with odin
Every time with megawipe. always...
So,
I've gotten use to CM10. For months after EOS4 came around, it was ungodly slow. Even after switching off the media scanner, using a custom kernel, etc... the UI FR and general responsiveness was extremely lacking. It seems that it's been the Go-To ROM of choice for many, many months now, and the performance situation may have changed, but i'm hesitant to flash it, even if the only reason is that everything works great, other than a bit of bitrot here and there with CM10-- which brings me to my issue:
KAT kernel (version 69, of course (haha! seriously outdated)) seems to blow out my YouTube DPI, which can be fixed simply by setting the DPI to 150 or so n XPosed, and a quick dirty flash/ update kills the bitrot i run into every couple months...this time, however, i was clearing space, and organizing my .zips, when i decided it would be a brilliant idea to put all my AOSP ROMs together, all my mods & themes/addns together, and all my kernels together. The issue is, I cant for the life of me remember which kernel, and kernel version i was using! Besides the funky DPI behavior, KAT also introduces an extreme degree of video ghosting and stuttering.
I've tried a couple older kernels, but often, I'd find out the kernel was for ICS, and I'd be stuck at the boot screen.
Can someone please point me in the direction of 1-2 CM10 Kernels?
Bonus round: have the EOS issues been fixed definitively. Or do you still have to bang yuor head against the wall, look t your tablet upside down, and do some voodoo on it to get it workng?
I have never had issues like they with EOS4, so I cannot say if your issues are still around. Most users who have issues with EOS I believe did not do a factory reset, or restored system settings with Titanium Backup.
But, I would try the KatKernel 103 lidpatch CM10.1 version:
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/kernel/Tim_KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch_CM10.1.zip
Edit - this is a cm10.1. If you are still on CM10, 69/70 are the most recent compatible ones.
So yeah I'm on rooted 4.4.2 on a P-905 and slowly more problems have been showing up with various apps, especially youtube and chrome. I haven't been able to watch 60fps videos on youtube without huge lag and it crashes daily. Chrome lags from time to time and things like switching tabs randomly causes the tab to glitch out and display something like a cropped bit of the screen repeatedly. Doesn't stall the tablet itself though. More recently it's also been shutting down by itself at any battery percentage, sometimes rebooting and sometimes not.
Anyway, what should I do? Deal with the problems and stick to 4.4.2, go to lollipop official (of course I can't ota since software update detects modified software) or try some custom rom like lineage or resurrection?
Hey all,
After using Q beta for a while without a restart i was getting stuttery animations. It is not lag and is not slowness, just unsmooth animations such as in opening apps, closing apps, switching between them etc..
So due to this and other reasons I went back to stable P. However surprisingly the issue came back on P.
My ram usage is about 2.6 gb, sometimes hitting 2.7 gb, but not more. So i know its not the ram since when i close all apps the issue is still there. Only a restart fixes this.
Does anyone know or have a similar problem as this? as i explained, the phone is fast as hell, but sometimes after days of use i get stuttery animations where i did not have such a thing before using Q beta.
Hey there,
yesterday I got the famous "GOS" firmware update and after having it installed my phone feels different. It happens in apps but not only that - for example as I switch from one screen with apps to another it slows down for a fraction of a second, a kind of micro stutter. Before the update it was butter smooth. I checked if the animations are still set to 0.5 (yes), 120Hz (yes) and wiped the cache but it is still the same.
Anybody else has the same problem, or even better, a solution? Thanks
Not got the update, but I manually disabled GOS, while I noticed it was smoother in various games and apps, I did notice some lag / stutters in places when it was enabled it was smooth.

Thanks, what is strange I didnt even disable it. I just got the new update but this bad result remains the same with GOS on or off regardless.
If anyone ever finds this and wonders how it ended - all my problems (when it comes to the phone) seem to be solved after a factory reset. The phone is much smoother, GB5 results good 20% higher and battery SOT time has gone up to over 8 hours. It was probably some artefact brought over via SmartSwitch that had caused the problems. Happy days now.
