Live wallpapers

On every Rom I've tried (excluding sense Roms; they don't have handy animations, and I personally hate Sense.) Live Wallpapers lag the launcher. Whether it's the app drawer zoom or scrolling, it has a slight, but very annoying, lag. Is there any possible way to fix this? I love live wallpapers and I love the gingerbread launcher animations, but they don't play nice on my Leo. Anyone get it nice and smooth? This is making me really want a Nexus S lol. Thanks.

I rarely use Live wallpapers as they drain the battery big style but in answer to your question no i don't believe there is a fix yet for the lag you are talking about although i stand corrected on that.

I think it's the Adreno. Lwps worked perfect on my gt540, which had one of the mid end pvr gpus I believe.

ICS Browser

anyone else notice how beast this thing is? I uninstalled dolphin. never seen xda scroll so
smooth. not to mention it loads pages almost as quickly as my desktop

ICS in general is smoother than any version of android previoulsy released. Scrolls, transition effects, the launcher, touch screen response, everything.

Yea, ICS is a beast. The browser is apart of it.

anybody compared stock ICS browser with chrome for android? i haven't gotten around to installing cm9 yet to find out myself.

I tried chrome once and it was still buggy but a guy at work is useing it and he swears buy it and claims it is much faster that the stock browser. have not fully side by side tested it my self though

Anyone got the apk to the ICS browser

ICS browser is awesome
chrome is even better however on mine (turl v9 build, tried it too with jokersax 0.2 beta) it crashes when I hit the tab select button so no go for now
mate there is no way to run it without ICS so apk would be pointless

Chrome is much, much faster at rendering than stock. Their engines are similar but stock is considerably more dated. But chrome is still buggy, and with no ident switch its kind of useless.

I cant wait for the chrome browser to be more stable. i am starting to dance just thinking about it

Slow tabs menu

So when I'm in the stock browser (Poland Jelly Bean release) and click the tabs icons it always takes 1-2 secs to respond and actually show all open tabs.. Anyone else noticing this?
Also I saw a video if the Note II and it was buttery smooth. I know the Note II has a faster clocked processor but that shouldn't really matter in such a simple process right?

Hmm strange.. As far as I'm concerned I've always had this issue.

It's always been slow for me too, puts me off using the stock browser

How smooth is the browser?

Ok about to pull the trigger on it but i need to know one thing. When using boat of dolphin how smooth is the experience exactly? Ive been using android for 3 years now on HD2, galaxy tab, galaxy note and honestly none of them can match the browser experience ive found on wp7 or ios. My family has an Ipad 3 and its BUTTER SMOOTH. Have you used an iphone? is it as smooth?

Chrome is absolutely horrendous. Also, stop trolling. You posted this exact same thing in Next 10 forum yesterday, and I already answered you. iOS is a lot smoother than Android.

Horrendous? Really? Chrome runs pretty much perfectly for me. I've yet to find any website that causes notable lag. No complaints here.

UGH!!!!

I've never been a fan of chrome from android, however I think it did improve a tad bit, but really just a little (it still need a lot of work and still in beta to me). Anyway I think Google should have kept the stock android browser which is in my opinion the best mobile browser , better than safari or wp internet explorer. The quick controls, the fluidity and the support for flash makes it the best.

Definitely not horrendous. Its not really "smooth vs not smooth", the problem is that it's inconsistent. I would saw that 80% of the time its as smooth as safari on iOS, but the rest of the time it stutters a little, especially when the page is loading.

Most Android users aren't known to appreciate a smooth phone experience

IT's actually much smother on the GN4 than on my ASUS T300

I've compared Chrome on my N4 with the browser on my wife's SGS3. Chrome opens webpages super fast. It's faster than her S3, but the scrolling is sluggish in Chrome. It seems like a flick doesn't carry much inertia on the webpage and it doesn't scroll down very far. The super fast loading of web pages is great, but the scrolling is really bugging me.

Eh, Opera Mobile is my default browser.

Chrome isn't brilliant to be honest. Scrolling is smooth but it lags behind your motions, and loading performance is only okay. I personally use Dolphin as it feels the most like a desktop browser in terms of UI. Dolphin is far smoother.
Compared to iOS? No, not as smooth. However, it's honestly more than acceptable, coming from an iPhone 5 myself. Not something that you really notice when browsing.

Installed the aosp browser. Butter.

This is android. If you don't like chrome, don't use it. The aosp browser from jellybean 4.2 is totally smooth.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Chrome isn't the best but it gets the job done fast enough and doesn't lag lol. For me too much effort to use another browser and sync all my stuff.

The AOSP browser's pretty amazing.

Chrome has scrolling issues. Dolphin is pretty smooth though.

I personally prefer Chrome over the AOSP browser because it syncs everything I need perfectly. The lag is minimal and doesn't even bother me. All personal preference

How is the LWP performance?

Nexus 4 has the most powerful Hardware and processor, lets say, I don't care about battery dying, and I use Many live wallpaper.
Generally, LWP reduces the frame rate of all animations, be it launcher scrolling, or whatever operations.
I want to know, do u notice any frame drop, or choppy animations when you use LWP on Nexus 4.????

Whenever I test out a ROM, the default wallpaper is usually a LWP. I don't change it though so when I'm testing the ROM I don't notice any lag with it running.
