I had the S7 and now the S8 and pulling the Statusbar down is way less smooth than on a S5 with cm14.1 or any other phone with stock Android or similiar.
Feels janky on S8. I compared it with cm14.1 on my S5 side by side.
Embarrasing .
I love my S7 and I'm using Galaxy S devices since the S2.
It's smooth on my exynos s8+

You have to compare it with a device with lineage os 14.1 or stock-(ish) Android.
T-Mobile variant and it's just as smooth as my rooted Nexus 6, LG V10 and the wifes stock Nexus 6.

Which one do you have? the sd835 is just awful when it comes to performance, also for sure stock Android will be slightly quicker than bloated ui like TouchWiz. But coming from an iPhone 7 plus, it seems pretty quick.

I have the S8+ Exynos Variant( since April ) no root ,stock
Overall my status bar is smooth.
A while back i noticed the same behaviour with my status Bar.
As you described it "janky" and sometimes it might just be unresponsive ..etc .
In the back of my mind i suspected ,that it could to be "some app" causing this .
As status bar was out of box ,smooth .
Now it became laggy /janky etc .
i eventually found the culprit .
It was a Samsung Theme (paid ) from Theme store .
(So theme is supposed to be well optimized ?)
i suspected the theme status bar as at times when scrolling in status bar,
theme just did not "look/behave ? " right to me
(eg . the way the icons "lit " up and fade ,when toggled etc )
Change my Samsung theme to something else .
Immediately i noticed a difference .
Status bar was no longer sticking /janky etc .
I am positive maybe a "bad code" in theme could have affected my status bar
Bottomline ,
So who knows, it might just be some other 3rd party app /mod causing this ?
Good luck

My s8 plus exynos version has no lag at status bar, quick and instant
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
It's not "lag" in that sense. It's just that it isn't 60 FPS like Galaxy S7 has. It's more like 30 or something. I have the Exynos S8+ and I notice it very well.
tell me about it, my S8 is so slow, thinking about going back to my Nexus 5 or maybe to my rooted G3.
but really, obviously something is wrong with your specific set up...

Samsung has started releasing official 4.3 update for Galaxy S4. I have already updated my phone and here is my first impression of Galaxy S4.
The update does feel smooth but not much of the change in terms of interface. Knox does comes to Galaxy S4 with this update.
Most of those things in settings were in 4.2
Still waiting for it in the UK
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Nice review. I'm in the UK and I must admit is a little nicer. Easier on the eyes. Little smoother and the battery is actually really good.
100% 7 am
89% after flashing aokp then flashing tw rom then this 4.3 update tw. Now I'm on 18% after 10 hours. Also played angry birds and Facebook and twitter and used titanium backup.

Yes, you can change it in settings and get the older look..
Also in full screen mode, notification bar is just not visible. Swapping down from top will still bring the notifications bar...

It all depends on the usage but with the official update it looks like an improvement....My battery is lasting longer than Android 4.2
I've been having some various problems with 4.3. I'm probably going back to 4.2.2.

Not sure this works with TouchWiz, this was meant for AOSP ROMs initially. Have you actually tested this on an S5 before posting?

You are using TouchWiz. Nova is just the launcher you are using. Touchwiz is much more than the launcher.

Same exact as in AOSP so working as intended. Just surprised it affected the TouchWiz UI as well. I guess Samsung didn't do too much modding there.

It's actually code written into KitKat. As openyoureyes mentioned, it's surprising it made its way all the way through Samsung's modifications. The app doesn't create the feature, just allows you to see it. Can't touch the framework.

Don't you want to know prior to when you can see it with this mod though?
Once it hits 50% I can see the top of the number. As long as I know when I can start to see the numbers I'm starting to get low

I can't find any updates on this. I got 4.0 but LG released that video and everything about 5.0 and no one has it. Assuming an ota will come out sooner or later.

We got like 4.9, which rounds up to 5, unless you have something different. There are features missing when compared to LGs official 5.0 video.

For anyone that claims there's no lag on the G4, s6 or even s7 please don't even reply because you are just wasting time. I'm guessing anyone who ever experienced stock android can answer this and hopefully one of them can answer this. Please let me know if it lags and stutters, I am thinking of trying out this phone for 3 months
I have both the lg g5 and s7 edge and my onest opinion the lg g5 does not lag like the s7
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I've owned an S7 and returned it back after dealing with the G5.
So, no the G5 does not lag like the S7.
I see the same. My G5 is quicker and smoother than my S7 edge. The S7E was super smooth but as with most if not all Samsungs lag develops after some time. I love Samsung devices. Heck I always have one around but I will not deny that there is a little lag.

The phone feels much slower than a Nexus device. My Nexus 6 and Nexus 5x running pure Nexus Roms blew it out of the water. You can tell tho it's the launcher, I never tried the Google now launcher cause tap to wake wouldn't work. The LG launcher seems to focus more on looking smooth and fluid than being fast.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I use Nova Launcher and it's as smooth as buttered glass. Menus, settings menu, basically everything that has been LG'ed is also plenty fast

If the smooth animation is not desired, one simply has to disable the animation in the developer's options in the settings area.. Not fair to bash the G5 for animation that we actually can turn off. I'm just saying.
I'm clearly bashing the launcher, not the phone.

I would call less than great battery life on a 5000mah battery a big problem. I'm getting 3 to 4 DAYS of Battery life on Oreo. I'm staying on Oreo for now. If you guys think that Huawei has perfected their version of Pie with their updated EMIU 9. .... you're wrong. They haven't even rolled out the Pie update to my part of world yet. And I live in Los Angeles. Every early release of any OS is always buggy in some way.
