I bought this phone 2 days ago and I have to say it does have delays stutters and everything. the animations aren't smooth at all.
I was trying to see if anyone had any luck trying to make it faster.
my animations are on 0.5x and i have disabled a lot of packages but freaked out a bit about KNOX. should I disable that too? I'm not sure if it made much of a difference since it's slower but I did get a lot more battery life on my s7 edge after doing this!

install the PAS like a normal app. Reboot. Change animations to .2 or .1
Profit.

Thanks! but I think even 0.5x is a bit too slow already! I love animations as long as they're not running at 12fps
The lower the setting the faster the phone will feel. in my opinion. So. .1 or .2 will feel faster than the .5 that you're using
Nope nope nope. If you want butter, and want to blow your d*ck off, install the Unlocked Firmware. Removes bloat, and it is as smooth as my pixel was. I'm seriously in shock still

Yeah! even the annoying ghosting of theSamsung AMOLEDs is gone! unless I got min which Is only at late night!
What's funny is that the only reason this phone lags is Samsung's bloatware!
Can't they just ask us if we want the features at the beginning (First boot? like stock android or Samsung experience)

Hi there . Got the same problem . I got before iPhone 6s plus nexus 6 nexus 6p oneplus 3t and many more . When I pick up Samsung a8+ i don't have lag . I have low performance or slow os or I don't know how to define the point is my phone move so slow .I changed the animation . I got the unlocked version . I don't know how to debloat but I tried different thinks on my s8 to make it faster with no luck . I think the 7.0 is the problem. On 7.1.1 the speed improve a bit for sure . O hope they will fix it with a software update or something . Or xda guys manage to make lineage os or RESURECTION REMIX stable so we can get rid of lag .

It's not 7.0. it's the hundreds of bloat apps and services. Disabling hellos but to really deal with it you need to actually remove the apps from the device

Mate 7 was released October 2014. Five Months to go for it's first birthday. Go get an HTC or a Sony. LOL
LOL
Well this beta will the first EVIDENCE of the existance of Lollipop for Mate 7...
oh my god this frustrating just release it now please.. I am desperate for some performance increase and better GUI speed...
It gets more and more frustrated, the frustrating has been freezed earlier cause I have been amazed by the big screen experience and good screen, but now when I am used to it I am more frustrated with the slow performance and multi tasking.. I know most people will not notice it but if you work fast and switch between apps fast constantly you get frustrated... Lollipop hopefully improve some things.
The people who do not demand better speed they just use their phone slow, and do not notice the lag.. the lag is for me noticeable.
I assume you already tried changing the power saving mode, considering the default one isn't optimized for performance...
Also lowering the animation scale in the developer options.
Hi guys,
I trust Huawei are sure that by May the new firmware release LP.

Hi guys I'm looking at swapping my nexus 6 with the gf for her new z3 just want to ask a couple of questions if possible
Is it true that rooting the phone will make your camera worse somehow or you loose features of the phone ect?
I want to keep the bootloader locked so I don't loose bravia act I want to just install a custom ROM and recovery so I'm guessing I can do this fine without unlocking the bootloader?
Its running the latest stock ROM do I need to downgrade to a older version before root?
Also maybe bit silly asking here am I crazy swapping the nexus 6 for the z3 or is it a good move lol
Thanks
I've got a Nexus 6, 6P and the Z3. All are great phones. Sometimes I like using the Z3 due to its size, brighter screen, and camera. Also, battery life is awesome. Before you consider rooting, unlocking, etc. You should give the marshmallow concept build a try.

Does it have an affect on anything as far as rooting like breaking camera ect or is it just unlocking the bootloader that does
Just chill Bro, downgrade to 5.0.1 and root it with kingroot, ur bootloader won't unlock, install nuts dual recovery, then install wolfbreak's rom v 12.3, viola ur done, you will get a perfect rom with superb sound u never ever heard since ur born, buy some cool headphones like mdr 31em, ur good to go Bro,
Enjoy your z3 better late then never, give ur nexus to your pets

Is the audio and display as good as everyone says as I haven't had chance to play with it yet and is they much difference between 801 and 805 in real life not interested in benchmarks lol

To finally answer your question:
Unlocking your bootloader is what breaks the "TA" partition, you can get root without unlocking.
However, unlike other people further above suggest, I would not advise you to root with kingroot, as it sends the IMEI of your phone to an IP in China, no one knows what's happening there. There are various very easy guides in this forum, you will have to downgrade to 4.4.4, root it, and then flash an pre-rooted ROM, no hassle really.
I like the display, though it's slightly on the blueish side, but its really fine. Audio - well, the speakers are on the front, but a bit silent, no worries though, there's a mod for that.
To get a custom ROM you will most likely have to unlock your bootloader, loosing all PlayStation connections and the enhanced image procedure, to this point there are only some minor workarounds.
Edit: some ROMS work on locked too.

there is difference between 801 and 805 but developers ported z5 files for z3 so? noo need to worry , just give a try bro you wont regret
So I think I'm doing the right thing swapping to the Xperia z3 just don't want to loose the bravia or camera firmware ect
Does the new z5 apps come with the display tweaks ect just thought the 801 processor would lag or something compared to the 805
Sorry for all the questions just will be swapping tonight if I do lol

Even if you want to unlock bootloader also there are tuts for backing up drm key and restoring them, nothing will be hurt,
Most of z5 stuffs has been ported but I dont get too much surprises from them, I just need high resolution Audio thats it.
hey about that lag thing, its doesnot exist (805 - 801) = 4 (minor difference)
I never had a Samsung phone and thinking of maybe getting the s9+. One reason why is because I don't like there skin and touchwiz. I'm more of a stock nexus like person so I wanted to know if there are any good stock ish roms on the s8 and s8+ or if maybe you have any suggestions for a me.

And the worst part is when my 2 month old S8 Exynos,which I paid almost 750€ for,starts stuttering. Occasional lag is always present with TouchWiz.

touchwiz stutters due to widgets and other bloatware running at the same time. side bar menu as well. s9+ will help loads with that extra 2GB. but s8+ runs fine on touchwiz when you stop all the unnecessary items running and taking up system resources.
I just use the Pixel launcher. Works great, no lag, custom icons. Hit up apkmirror.com. I got everything customized on mine.
Been using nova for years

Someone who likes to tinker with his phone this phone is abit useless to me considering there are no custom ROMs existing. Not only that there are still quite options that the current version is missing such as the ability to be able to actually have stuff on Glance. I'd rather have Ambient Display. Pie in general is useless but in this phones case I'm hoping it brings the changes I need

Yeah that is certainly true what you say, ambient display been able to function in a custom ROM is quite useful indeed. I hope it too, to have custom ROMs available to flash and use. It would be awesome.

Well if 8.1 was perfect then they wouldn't have needed to make 9.0
But then 9.1 will likely be out a bit after 9.0 so 9.0 is already assumed to be imperfect (but then nothing ever is truely perfect is it ).
The assumption is that each update builds and improves on the previous one. So if there is something new that the teams of people who develop android have built and I can get it for free then why not have it?
But I do get what your saying, it's not like there's anything wrong with 8.1 on our device at the moment.
It's hardly a big deal If we get it in 30 minutes or 30 days... we're still getting it :laugh:

With the Changes of Pie they could just say 8.2.
But that wouldn't sell "that well".
They are lifting the major version insanely quick for very little features...
Back with Android 4, they did just add .1, but 1.
