Want your note faster !

Download spare parts from the market and set window and transition animations to fast.

It works (at least for my eyes). Even the slight lag I'd experienced seems to be gone, and my Gnote feels snappier than before. Could be subjective but I'm happy with it.
Thanks for the tip.

Yes... it is.

I have tried both settings and don't see significant difference.

Many thanks mate.
Made a noticeable bump in speed for me. Excellent!

Thanks for the app, sometimes I just felt it's a shame that you have to download a third party app to boost up the phone or do anything normally which the every smartphones must have when it born. This is why everyone is rooting as stock rom sucks?

Thanks for the find robdee102.
Are there any other settings we can change to increase the speed of the phone?

The device doesnt get any faster, its deception. The length of the animated transition equals about the time needed for the application to load. Turning off the animation or setting it to happen faster only results in the animation being finished before the app's interface is fully loaded and the user looking at a blank black or white screen for a split second... Because the zoom or swipe effect happens faster one gets the feeling the device actually being faster; which in reality it isn't.
Thanks for listening. My 2¢.

Good explanation, i like the look of it with faster animations. And yeah gives the impression of a quicker device. Better than slowwwww...

Yeah, there's DEFINATELY a difference, it feels more responsive, going through menus, etc...

I'm not denying it feels quicker. On the contrary. But because everyone around you suddenly walks slow doesnt make you walk any quicker ;-)
It was very noticeable on older devices with only 500ish MHz and 192MB of RAM, like the original G1/Dream/Sapphire and the likes. Those guys needed the extra time to launch an app and load the UI. Now with 1Gig, dedicated GPU and dualcore CPUs we are talking milliseconds. It really doesnt matter anymore...
A shame not all functions of Spareparts are supported though...

The stuttery Beast

Is it because of the JB update my S3 stutters just by pressing settings or just by pressing settingsmenu button. Everything just stutters a little bit. Opening the appdrawer, the phone stutters or is to slow for the animation.
I tried 0,5x animation, didnt get better.
What should i do?
Is the beast supposed to act like this?

Remove all Samsung apps and services you don't need. Then install JKay Deluxe and whitelist the apps you use the most.

It is most likely your device. My phone doesn't lag or stutter at all. It's smooth and fast. Even with Energy Saver Mode turned on it is still OK.
I use Touchwiz and all Samsung Apps are still installed.

Doesnt it lag when pressing menu on touchwiz? Any advice on what i should do?

As I said, NO LAG!
Unfortunately I have no concrete advice regarding menu key. One thing I found usefull though, is to clean autostart from unneeded apps.

In OP shoes i would full wipe and install stock firmware .
jjue

You can try the leaked rom 4.1.2. It works very well with siyah 1.8 kernel or any stock 4.1.1 roms.
Just remember to full wipe before and after flashing any roms. (Just a safety procedure.)

I was just soooo pissed off today.....i went to my providers centwr and saw they started selling SIII mini, i swear-it was faster than my S3 which is running on 4.1.2 leak (wanamlite 5) and 1.8 siyah with some minor tweaks from stweaks, seriously, im kind of dissapointed, some mid end device is faster than flagship-this isnt normal

Youre right, it isnt normal so id suggest you look closer to home at your phone rather than think all s3 minis are faster than all s3s. They arent

Yeah i already did...data wipe at place itself, doesnt seem any faster....when i have time i will flash it to pure deodexed stock w/o mods...everything stock and than see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

anyone else

I had some of those problems - some menus not as fast or smooth as the s3 mini in a store, the application manager crashing and stuff
- jb 4.1.1 stock unrooted - factory wipe after update from ics
So I went through and deleted all apps that I don't use, particularly apps with back ground processes like widgets (animated weather widget apps for example) and then after clearing ram as well, the application manager would work, so I went through and disabled Samsung stuff that looks unimportant
Now it all just blazes, so fast.

[how to] make ur Galaxy note2 fly :D

go to setting - developer setting scroll down to drawing set window animations scale - transition animations scale - animator duration scale to off
then go to S voice - setting disable lunch S voice via home button
profit
{happey flying Note2 }

Oh OK! I first came into this thread thinking of how you were going to throw it, or attach some wings to it and have it glide, or something like that! ^.^
Good tips! I have already disabled the S Voice launcher because I hardly use Google Now! Why would I use S Voice? The animations sounds like a good idea, it'll make it feel a lot snappier as it won't waste time with trans, and save battery life in the act as it won't have to cycle the CPU for those animations (very minimal, but still a plus).

Yawn.....

Its because some people accidently switch on those settings, for example Someone may enable pointer-touch location and then complain of ghost shadows on phone to avoid these unnecessary issues Google must have done that

Yeah... I don't really think we need more tweaking xD It's damn fast also when really stressed.
For example some days ago, It happened that I needed GPS navigation (with copilot) ... for mistake I launched Need For Speed MW ... and soon after Copilot...
Everything was happening smooth .. I got position etc... xD then I killed NFS , and I continued to use copilot... but the beast had everything under control and it was snappy

Here are a few helpful hints to minimize lag

1. Disable animations
Sure, you might miss some of the fancy animations and stuff, but it really does help out in the end to make lag go away
2. Install nova launcher
This is important! Nova launcher is quite excellent on this device from my experience. Absolutely zero lag, 60fps buttery smoothness! Plus customization

So Nova helps a lot?

100% helps

It may or may not help, but before I make Nova my default launcher, I remove all the widgets from the stock launcher.

Just freeze your default launcher with titanium. That way nova is the only launcher.

No Lag
I have no lag at all, it's fast and beautiful

Personally I haven't really experienced a need to speed up the device. Some of the apps are kind of slow, but I've ditched s notes and lecture notes seems to be just fine.
Edit:
Actually I have noticed that copying a stuff to your clipboard as being slower than it was on the 2012 model.

Don't forget to disable the water effect at the unlock screen. I remember that taking up a bit of ram in itself.

Also you can turn off programs that you won't use (if allowed) in settings/general/application manager/all
So far I have:
Business week+
NY Times
Trip Advisor
Twitter
Yahoo Finance
These were running apps that i'll never use.

I've had mine for about 8 hours and am not noticing much lag at all. I never set up the My Magazine app...I wonder if that has anything to do with it

lag? What lag?
not sure what people are expecting but I have no lag whatsoever this thing flies I hesitated because I love my original note 10.1 so much and use it daily but have no regrets 5 hours in?
In Addition Bench Marks Are Off The Charts

Sorry to rant on this but what's the point if spending $550 on a high end tablet if we have to do little tweaks like this. It's Samsung's job to make sure the processor can handle the experience of this wonderful tablet

Is root already available on the note 10.1 2014? Because if my memory serves me you need root for that.

Maybe. Try going into settings apps and fins the launcher
Then press disable, Im not sure about it though

Now that I have root access, what can I do to make this phone faster?

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance

Nova or Apex Launcher, and ditch the window animations.

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often
