If there was no lag (no smooth) when changing homescreens with only few widgets i'd say it is proper official 2.3.4 release...
However, homescreens are respectively smooth with live wallpaper enabled...
Whats your opinion? Do you confirm that lag?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Are you saying there's a lag on homescreens? If so do you have the stock task manager widget there? If you do get rid of it and if you still have lag, sorry mate. At least for me and a lot of others kh3 is great at least, not perfect

Thats what ive got in only 2 homescreens... The lag appears when i go to first homescreen from right to left..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

What ROM did you come from? I remember people saying that you need to do a full wipe and reflash and the lag will go away. I'm on stock KH3 with CF-ROOT kernel and I have no homescreen lag.

KE7 stock ----> KG5 stock -----> HK3 speedmod kernel.
Lag appeared after i installed HK3... Also something i noticed is there is no lag after i clean up the memory from the task manager but i see it coming again after i open a couple of applications. Finally theres no lag if i use live wallpaper..

Somewhat off topic here: is the browser from the latest firmwares still incapable of re-flowing text properly with pinch to zoom?

I mean if pinching to zoom has the same effect as double tapping in a webpage, the text in the webpage should adapt to the level of zoom, so as not to be cut off from the screen. Opera Mobile does this very well, I was wondering if the stock browser in newer firmwares does it as well (the older versions didn't).

That's what i will do but not now..Tommorow for sure!! Thanks a lot tho

I just flashed this ROM and found out I can't install any apps.. it just crashes and reboots and the apps are not installed..

Did you wipe data, cache and Dalvik (dalvik is under Advanced in CWM)? Did you restore system settings with Titanium Backup?

I had enough of this so im back to stock kf3 with speedmod kernel and everything looks smooth and stable..

ICS Touch Screen Issues

I see this issue on ALL APPS and DIFFERENT LAUNCHERS.
I cant scroll properly when using quickpic or changing screens on lauchers only does it on ICS. Running STOCK. Does not do this when I go back to gingerbread but while on ics its annoying

Can't say that I've had this issue. The only time that my touch screen acts wonky is when the charger is plugged in, then it acts very odd sometimes.

I found Force GPU rendering to use 2D hardware acceleration in applications but it didnt change anything
its not lag that I am having. Its issues with say when swiping through pics in the gallery or quickpic where scrolling just sucks

I responded in another post by you (best GB rom or something) and asked why you wanted to change to GB.
ICS is very smooth swiping up down, left right, on any ICS rom. Not laggy at all. However I do have an issue with one app regarding sideway scrolling, but that is a UK specific app, and the dev knows about it. Quickpic scrolling is super smooth for me, and so is on Apex, Nova and my preferred choice, GoLauncher.

i hear you man..same issues here..thats why im back on the silky stock rooted gb.....same thing you say...it is smooth, but its glitchy when scrolling everywhere...noticed the same thing
one more thing, why couldnt they stick to the beautiful gb rotation animation in ics?in ics rotation is a bit choppy, you'll notice it particularly when exiting from apps from the landscape mode to the launcher( eg: mx player)...
so back on good old gb for now

Recommendations to make better our SGS3 in every way possible

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

Okay i'll make a youtube video in 10 min.

I'm on BTU XXDLJ4. It's as smooth as what's shown in the video. No lags. Even with live wallpapers, my phone doesn't lag!

Got to say I never felt my phone being a slouch. But since I jumped from stock ics to the latest Samsung leak, my phone flies. Didn't really debloat anything even, lots of apps and very residual lag if any. Pretty happy with it. Just replaced kernel for dual boot purposes to try out whatever's out there.

First of all, you should have turned on a light in the room before recording!
Secondly, I do not see the big difference, sorry.
You did not do anything substabtial, you were just navigating in the Installed Apps menu in Settings... That's hardly a point of reference.
Good idea but, if you don't mind me saying, poorly executed and it does not prove anything. No offense.

Run an aosp/cm/aokp for now and the lag will be gone. Or you can run a rebloated touvhwiz ROM. Or run a custom kernel and overclock. Or just get a different phone if it bugs you that much.

My suggestion is to upgrade to MDL (if you haven't already) and flash a custom TW kernel. This makes a world of difference over stock for smoothness and battery life is still great (depending on the kernel settings used). Other thing you can try is lowering the animation scale in developer options.

In About Phone tap your build number 7 times to unlock dev options. Then hit the back button tap dev options and scroll down, if you don't want any animations just turn the three off.

It personally sickens me that we have to do anything to this phone to get it to work well for us. Samsung needs to fix these issues and make this phone fly like it should with the hardware in it. No changing developer options or using a custom kernel or tweaking.

Very much agreed. i personally have minimal lag....there obviously should be none. Hopefully when the next update finally drops the lag will be taken care of.

I had the same issue but once I rooted, removed bloat, disabled some apps and installed a custom kernel all the lag is gone. I'm running No Frills CPU to control the CPU and I have it set at Max 1998GHz, Min 378MHz, Governor= Performance, I/O scheduler= deadline. Not having any issues with battery either. Works Great!
Also I noticed that S Voice was never mentioned. You have to uninstall it or make it so the home button doesn't activate it.

I'm running ktoonz 7/2 kernel with all his settings. Wow it gets rid of all the lag. Plus the phone don't run so hot like it does stock. Nice and cool and fast. I get 24-30+ hours before battery swap. I was also very pissed that out of the box this phone is kind of ****ty. Thanks to our great devs its fixed
