Does anyone have a flashable package that increases the sensitivity of the touchscreen?
Or would anyone be able to give me a quick rundown on how to adjust it?
I know there were a few values floating around a while back.
Thx in advance.
There is an app in the market, something like galaxy $ screen tuner, tho I can't remember its exact name

Thanks. Downloaded and am using it now. Dunno do I see much difference though. Using "optimized" and super optimized .
Anyone recommend settings with this app. ??
My main gripe with the screen is its not sensitive enough when texting fast.

I've been using gingerbread keyboard and smart keyboard pro and both react the same to my texting. I don't use swype.
I use since day one I got the SGS in june and can't operate the phone without. Superfine is good for me, but you can fiddle a bit to find settings that suit you. Too bad that pernament fix ain't possible yet.

Ahh ....yes....I'm using that now but I reduced the value on the top two settings and it's made a huge difference.
FYI: Damian's kernels have an option to adjust screen sensitivity and once set it holds using his kernel control app

sorry to drag this thread up again, but does anyone know how to change the sensitivity in gingerbread?
i'm using JVR and the touchscreen booster app does not work. I can remember it did work when I used it on froyo.
I would like to create a single post where we comment on recommendations to make better and faster and more reliable our phones, ways to decrease the RAM usage, extend battery life, useful tricks, etc.
- Disable all animations
- Disable buttons lights
- Download app named multitask shortcut
- Download SwiftKey 3 and Swype
- Use as less possible widgets and live wallpapers to avoid homescreen refresh
- Disable touch vibrations
Any other useful tips for making better the Galaxy S 3 experience are welcome.

I used to use touchwiz, but can't stand the slow transition, even after making the adjustment under development in settings.
Then i install Nova launcher, turn transition to the fastest. Wow, now my phone has over 300 mb free ram after boot up and is fast. And I mean real fast. For those who need speed. Go with Nova, and you retain most of the touchwiz features, like smart stay.

Wow guys seriously. So you disable everything fancy , what's the use of such a powerful processor. You could've got S1 if you wanted to disable every eyecatchy stuff .
All these animations shouldn't give S3 any kind of hiccups. I use a ton of widget and all animations are turned on (Although to a scale of 0.5 ). It's super fast and

I agree with you. I never understood the need fit the latest and greatest only to dumb it down. I don't get cm9 you can run it on many of phones so why spend the money on all the flash. I'm thankful for cm 9 cuz of my HP touch pad is now usable but will never understand the need to make every new phone plain. Just my thought not flaming anyone i like change sometimes

There is a post somewhere which mentions you can get rid of the lag by removing the oc daemon, i did this and its all speedy fast now.
Really mm Im working on it.to remove it and I let you know thanks alot bro
Sent from my Telus HD using xda premium
Well just to let you know if you r runin blackout ICS the way to avoid lag is choosing ultrasmooth and in daemon controller change cpu freq to smartassV you will notice the diference right away
Sent from my Telus HD using xda premium
Fast DHD
The DHD with Blackout 3 rom is extremly fast compared to before with the official HTC, which was always lagging or crashing... It is a very impressive job from the Blackout team! :good: Thank you!
PS: the demon controller was set up conservative as CPU Freq. I just change it to smartassv2 as buhor suggested. Did not see much difference since it was fast before already.
Cant see why htc didnt do their own ics after all, its so much faster than stock/gingerbread roms.
The only thing i dont like about 4+ is that third party apps like gocontacts/sms cant sync pictures from facebook.
anyone have this problem? when i made/received a call, i have to reboot the phone otherwise when the next call i made/received, the other party will not be able to hear my voice, although i can hear them clearly. According to them, they only heard some distortion noise in the background.
I pmed them but have not yet received a reply so i just post here to ask.
maybe you should wait for the update. Im sure it wont take long
Thats weird I would recommend a full wipe reinstall it..if doesnt work try a dif radio......I ve tested several ICS and this One is the most stable 4 me

I tried using Note II N7100's hwcomposer lib file on my CM10.
It is smoother to me than CM10... Just my feeling... Not very sure...
Anyway don't know if its true. I just leave the Note 2's lib file attached below. Try it if you want.
Just copy the file using root explorer to system/lib/hw. When you tries to paste, the phone will just auto reboot. Wait a bit and it will be up again. Then for safety go back and change the permission to like other .so files in that folder.
Don't blame me if anything bad happens... I am not a developer. I am just a noob anyway :/
Works best on CM10 not Samsung rom for me.
I think this just forces it to run in software mode, as it wouldn't actually recognise it. Chances are that software mode is better than using the broken GPU method though.

Hmmm sorry I am not very sure of if broken hw acceleration. But to me at least the user experience is better for me and still able to have the other benefits (except project butter) of Jelly Bean.
It doesn't seem to break GPU rendering, I have force GPU and disable hw overlays ticked and everything is nice and smooth and no problems so far, running for about 30 mins or so.

To me I can really tell that its smoother especially when opening and closing the sms app no longer lags for me.
Could any dev confirm the effect of this?
EDIT:Used the file now and indeed it is better...I'm on Wanam LIB sammy official.
For example i think it fixed that "break" it used to do when scrolling up and down on settings!yay!
EDIT 2:When it works it works ok...but sometimes it doesn't work...
Anyway,back to stock!Thank's OP.
Hmmm best to have dev confirming this. I tried on I9300XXDLIB it ends up becoming even more lag.... But the effect on CM10 is an improvement to me.
Well working fine for now. Don't know if I feel any difference though.
Edit: Probably not a placebo... I feel more responsive scrolling in tapatalk and gmail app.

Seems to me that Cody in the CM10 thread said something about using the HW Composer and that it could not just be dropped in and function properly. It was more complicated than that.
