I have my S7 (Exynos) for 1 week now and what bothers me most is the often laggy scrolling, especially in Chrome. On both phones I used before (Nexus 5 and ZUK Z1) Chrome worked great and I got really used to it. I did try a lot of other browsers (FF, Dolphin, Opera, CM, UC, Boat, and many more) but I always went back to Chrome.
So, not happy with the performance of Chrome on my S7 I tried to optimize via the flags. I tried a lot there like en-/disabling smooth scrolling, changing the settings for GPU rasterization, etc. But nothing seems to really help much. I heard that there was a option in older versions which allowed you to allocate more RAM to Chrome, but those flags are gone now
So I wonder, did anybody here manage to set up Chrome on a Exynos S7 for a smoother experience? And if so, what settings exactly did you change?
PS: I always use Chrome BETA if that matters.
BTW: Does Chrome perform better on the SD820 powered S7s? Just wondering....
Yeah I really want to know too!
Bro i can assure yu that yu wont have any problem of yu switch to stable chrome
Chrome beta is good if yu are eager for small changes made early or if yu are a developer
I use chrome stable build and on exynos s7 and its awesome
I too dont like other browers they may open few pages fast but they also dont open few pages also and they are not that lightning fast also if yu use a good connection chrome is sufficient
So i would recommend yu to uninstall beta and install stable chrome and see the difference for yourself
Sorry man, I just tried both, Chrome and Chrome Beta, on androidpolice and the verge. Same settings on both and I can't see/feel any difference.
Since I disabled safe browsing and the prediction services it seems to be a bit less laggy now (or I'm just getting used to it?) but still nowhere as smooth as on the ZUK and especially on the N5. Seriously, my Nexus 5 was the smoothest experience ever.
The samsung browser is the only answer, its buttery smooth.

I don't know what to say except that on my S7 (exynos) scrolling these two websites is butter smooth on Chrome stable.

It's no where near as snappy as surfing with Chrome on my Nexus 7.
I'm running Cromi-X with:

that Chrome speed up mod option when you first install Cromi-X
I see posts on here where people's TF700's run smooth. What other things are you doing to your tablet?

Chrome has always ran slow on my tablet. B2R takes away the lag mostly but it is still slow. I prefer Dolphin, Boat, and stock.

That's too bad. I like Chrome, but I guess I'll switch to the stock browser.
That's so strange, tho. Chrome runs perfect on the Nexus 7.
What are your settings in the Labs tab of the stock browser?

Did you guys play with about:flags? Type that into the url in chrome and check it out. Its Labs ^2.
Ps-I'm the guy that wrote the B2R script for CROMIX and I run chrome beta. I can be made to run pretty fast, but not as fast as stock unfortunately but I prefer it.
I use to use Chrome on my phone and everything, but after a while was like na I'll try the stock one out. Haven't looked back since. Its quick and solid on Cromi-X

Chrome has gotten progressively worse in my experience, despite tons of small updates with "performance improvements". Recently it was all but unusable. I installed the latest firmware update and it seems to be better, so perhaps the problem is the stock ROM rather than the app.
I agree that stock browser is quite good. I particularly like the gesture mode (swipe from side and you get a speed dial for the different functions). However, I disagree that its page loading times are up to snuff. The browser's much slower than Chrome (after Chrome recovers from being unresponsive for a while when entering URLs). I think some of the issue may even be only apparent, since Chrome starts rendering pages immediately while stock browser waits until the loading bar is some 3/4 of the way, but still the (subjective) impression I get is that Chrome renders much faster.
If you google android browser tests there are quite a few fairly comprehensive ones.
Most of those note that Chrome for some reason just doesn't run well.
Quite ironic considering it's my desktop browser of choice due to it's speed

I enabled "Override software rendering list" and Chrome seems to be a little bit snappier. I will play with more of the about:flags settings and see if any of them really help!
Edit: I also enabled "Accelerated overflow scroll".

Hey There,
TF700 stock not-rooted here, and chrome suck's, very laggy to change from tabs it looks like it re-render / refresh the page, and it usually get "stuck" and have to be closed, I still use it because I use it on my work notebook, personal notebook, Galaxy S2, and well, I really enjoy my favorites everywhere, but I have been using very little.
Does anyone got any improves just changing parameters on about:flags? We could do a sticky post with all the information about it, and the results of the tests.
I will give a shot when I get home, any improvements I will post here, even though I think I will change the ROM first, this stock is killing me.

Obviously it's your choice but IMO just how frustrated i got with stock and Chrome browsers on the stock ASUS firmware was rendering the tablet unusable. It was so frustrating, especially in lectures where a friend on his iPad could look through about 5 tabs before mine had loaded a page and let me type an URL.
Since CROMI-X the stock browser runs incredibly well. (AS IN IT ACTUALLY WORKS LIKE ON MOST OTHER TABLETS) :laugh:

Yeah, I know about your frustration.
I just got to the forum (to actually post something), even though I have a galaxy S2 with ressurection remix for quite a long time, just now I'm having time to look for ROM's for the TF700.
I already got notes and will research about CROMI-X and will look for some more ROM's, do you know any other? I know that changing the kernel can directly affect the performance and battery on the ROM, I guess will have to research a lot.
B2R is best - I was using dolphin - not anymore!
Let's face it chrome sucks, even with b2r. I don't know what Google are doing. The stock browser combined with b2r is unbeatable IMO.

You may need to fine tune your network speed and buffersize for a better loading and downloading. For example, hsxpa, dns, wifi read and write buffer, ipv4.tcp_mem, ipv4.udp_rmem, ipv4_udp_rmem, core.wmem_max and rmem_max=2M, tcp_congestion_control=cubic, and change your minfree a little more aggressive especially the last two numbers.

Is b2r enabled by default? If not, how do we do that?
Yes it is enabled in CROMi-X by default.
Got my brand new AT&T Note Pro this week and am really happy with it. The only performance hiccup I've noticed though, is scrolling in Chrome is really laggy. Any suggestions for improving it? Also, are there any other good browsers you guys are using?
Never mind, right after I posted this I remembered I had turned on the data saver feature in Chrome. Turning that off made all the difference.
...annnnnnd never mind my previous never mind. Still laggy. Dolphin much snappier, but I don't like the way it scrolls, it always seems to coast an inch or two past where I want it to stop.
I never use Chrome, since it has no plugin support. (Adblock&Flash).
You could try Firefox. Though I prefer Dolphin; never encountered scroll issues. Did you try changing Scrolling Speed under settings>advanced?

Yeah, it didn't seem to make a difference... but then again I only used it for about 30 minutes. I'll give it a longer try tonight. Are you using Firefox?
I find Chrome beta is currently a little smoother than the current Chrome app.
Also, in chrome://flags I usually up the max tiles of interest setting to 512.

I used to, but it won't allow me to sort my bookmarks into folders. Which isn't an issue if you have 10-20, but I have 430. Dolphin does. (And has more functionality).

Hi,
Im an iphone 6 convert, i was used to having fast loading and instant page back.
On the S7 I found that browsing is superslow, loading pages is slow and when I go back a page, it reloads the whole page again.
The stock is a little faster than chrome, but not much. Plus I want chrome for syncing.
Im on 5ghz, 5m away from router. DL speed is superfast, so no issue there. Other apps works just fine and fast.
Seems to me that the S7 should easily be able to handle this.....my moto g 1 almost does it better
Tried 4G and chrome beta and dev, dev seems a little faster, but not much. Little dissapointed.
Anyone the same issue?
Perhaps chrome canary from play store will help you ?

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Samsung Galaxy S8 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Lags and stutters :| not horribly though! it's like console compared to a PC (iPhone and others being a PC ok maybe more like 144hz compared to 30-60fps )
I am also interested why every android while using data lags.
With chrome browser things are a bit better. Defenetly the stutter is there but not as persistant as it is on the stock internet explorer.
As a mobile dev in a first phase I thought it was caused by the app I was working on, but I can definitely say that this stuttering is actually a system-wide issue with the S8
It's probably related to the Samsung's Android ROM; I'd love to hear feedback from ppl with custom ROMs, I'm quite confident they don't have this kind of issue.
No scroll stutter in anything except facebook app and playstore which forced me to actually use facebook via chrome and the problem was solved. I have disabled a whole bunch of services and other apps and it helped quite much.
A tip for chrome users is to enable data saver built in option and use adblock. Ads these days are one of the main causes of stutter in web browsing.

Not every Android. Stock Android does not lag at all. Try a Pixel for a day and report back.
Sammy just has way to much bloat on top of Android. Even 6 gigs on the Note 8 cant fix the occasional lag.

Pixel does lag as well when using data in background. I've tested it. Just ios change priority to higher when on the top and giving less priority to network access to make UI smoother.

We were talking about Pixel nature Pixel in first place, did we? I don't know pixel2 and oreo. Maybe you're right. I was comparing my girlfriend's pixel 1 with my s8 couple months ago. PXL definitely better than s8+ but not buttery smooth. Do you own one? Make a video with profile gpu rendering On.

Hi, I just got a OP6 on Friday and it really is an amazing device, but no matter what app I'm in, I get extremely stuttery/jittery scrolling. It happens in Settings, Chrome, XDA, basically anything that has a list or scrolls. Is there any way to fix this? I'm on OxygenOS 5.1.9, I've tried rooting and installing kernels and I keep having the same problem. Is this a known issue? Because it's kinda ridiculous to pay over $500 for a phone that scrolls worse than my 2 year old pixel. So if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
try doing a cache clean or fresh install because this isn't normal and it should run smooth like mine does.

I've done a full install from fastboot, but I'll wipe cache and see if that helps, thank you.
I noticed it as well.
Franco Kernel helped a bit, especially using Pixel launcher (which is buttery smooth on the Pixel 2)
But the phone isn't as smooth as a Pixel 2 or iPhone X in terms of scrolling inside apps or even launcher.
It shows some frame drops regardless if rooted or not. Seen the same on another OP6 (mine has 128gb his has 64gb).
Clearing cache probably won't help.
Here's to hope the Android P update helps.
And use Samsung Browser instead of Chrome.
Way smoother

I really hope the Android p update helps. On 8.1 my pixel was laggy, kinda similar to the OP6, but after P, it's the smoothest phone I've ever had, definitely hopeful. I'll see about Franco kernel, I'll try it after work, thanks for the suggestion!

maybe its because i never owned a pixel that i cant see the jitter but i came from a galaxy with touchwiz so i think this oneplus is butterly smooth
Definitely agree also seeing jittery scrolling, custom kernels do help a bit but it's still there.
My 120hz iPad Pro is to blame, everything else seems really bad now!
Yh, you definitely have to see it in relation to other devices. Me coming from Touchwiz devices, the phone feels amazing, but knowing how buttery smooth an iPhone X is or Pixel 2 was, it's not that amazing anymore.

I thought it weas just me but I notice the jittery when scrolling slowly in chrome or the android central app. Its not bad, but noticeable.
Test
This has been present in every OnePlus device since the 3/3T. It's an Oxygen OS issue.
But it's good that more people are finally noticing it, as there's a chance that it'll be fixed... You'll just have to pay for the OnePlus 7 to get that fix
Even a Samsung S8 has smoother scrolling sadly. It's quite annoying. Using a different browser isn't a solution, as I rely a lot on Chrome anyway, but it also runs smoothly on many Android One devices such as the Nokia 7 Plus.
The P beta had the same poor scrolling performance, but hopefully they at least try to fix it for the final version. It's the least smooth device I've used in the last 2 years, but also the fastest... So you can kinda see where their priorities lie. They'd take an extra 0.049ms faster app opening time over 60fps scrolling.
Hi all, I came from a series of Xiaomi Phones (Redmi, MiMax etc.) - and I find the scrolling very smooth. Maybe just some devices have this problem? I have hovewer jittery backlight when in night mode (see my other post) which is bothering me quite a bit
I remembered this being a hot topic before. Wasn't the "solution" to set the CPU governor to be Conservative instead?

Apparently not anymore because that made it a bit worse lol. Considering selling the device because it's kinda ridiculous to have top specs and such poor scrolling performance.
I'm having no scrolling problems... And I had the pixel 2 XL and that **** was laggy.
Same problem here, been jittery since day one for me, and I got mine as soon as it released. Was thinking about returning it, but then decided that it was probably due to my over-sensitive eyes. The smoothest rom that I have tried was OmniRom. It's actually a decent rom, but single touch responsiveness was bad for me. I would sometimes have to touch the screen a few times just for the touch to register. Right now I'm using franco kernel in performance mode with fsync disabled on RiCE 4.4 and it's a little better.

Came around with these settings while using profile gpu rendering:
Dynamic Stune Boost 1
GPU governor: cpufreq
What that basically does is boosting the CPU slightly more while touch input and kinda syncing gpu boost with the now higher CPU boost.
According to the Profile GPU overlay the stutters are greatly reduced, especially in lawnchair Launcher (App drawer animation) and Facebook.
All using Franco kernel V4
Worst kernel I've tried was Smurf kernel with some extreme frame drops.
