I've updated my Nexus S to Official ICS 4.0.3.
It's running nice, but scrolling is very slow and sticky.
I can't scroll fast in my contacts list or in browser.
What's happening here?
It's like that all through the OS for the most part. The framerate is better, but what's the point if it feels worse..
that is the new animation effect, it's not slower
it just like the animation for the screen rotation from landscape to vertical and back
you think it's slow but it's not
just turn it off if you don't like to see those effects
FYI: people with the spanking brand new 720 Galaxy Nexus are complaining about the same thing

all my animations are already turned off. I'm not talking about animation, but scrolling is slow.
i have to wipe 4-5 time down to reach the bottom of my contact list.

ahhhhh... that's different
you are referring to the Inertia Drift
they changed it in 4.0
CM7 had an option to control how fast or how slow the inertia drift works, but the stock ICS ROM we do not have that yet
not even the CM9 alpha, that will have to wait for a while before we can change that, unless you know which setting to hack

Doest effect scrolling
But yea scrolling smooth for me also even more at 1.2ghz
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
yea its been driving me crazy as well very annoying. feels like im dragging the screen while its being weighed down by a 5 pound brick. its not a smoothness issue.
I've also noticed weird touch quirks especially with the stock launcher. sometime your swipe wont be long enough and it just stutters in place. One time in the recently opened apps i had to swipe 4 times across 75% of the screen and the dam thing wouldn't go away. other times a swipe across 25% usually does the trick. I am very disappointed with ics so far.
I'm wondering if its possible to have a smooth browser experience on the tab 10.1, so far I've tried;
latest ICS preview
renice
disable opengl rendering (about:debug)
normal rendering (about:debug)
light touch - no idea what this does (about:debug)
force gpu rendering (developer options)
overclock cpu (1.4ghz)
force plugins to on-demand
touchscreen tune tweaks
clear app data/cache
other browsers (dolphin, firefox, opera)
On mainly text sites like forums.whirlpool.net.au scrolling is smooth but sites with moderate/standard use of images like theverge.com (full-site) scrolling is only average. I've noticed a pause in scrolling occurs when a new image comes into view and thats scrolling at a speed that you would if you were reading/skimming content on the site.
I'm comparing to the iPad 1, as its all I've got to compare to, where the above 2 sites scroll super smooth. Even the mainly text site is loads smoother on the iPad 1.
Is this as goods as the browsing experience gets on android?
I just flashed Romans ics rom and everything is smooth as butta... even on the stock browser.

Pretty much
Everything on Android is laggier then it would be on iOS, the actual release of ICS from Samsung may help with this, who knows though, overall though the ICS ports are pretty damn good when it comes to browser scrolling, its the best Ive seen on any Android device I have, IMO tegra 2 is a piece of turd, which is part of the problem
What I notice on some sites is if the images are large or large images sized down via HTML to thumbnails then I'm more likely to see jittering going on when scrolling on the site. Save both the home screen for Verge and Engadget and you'll notice a difference in the amount of image files larger than 50k each on Verge.
I don't think it's fair for folks to say that things are great for them when it comes to subjective things like responsiveness and smoothness. I'm on 3.2 and the Verge site stutters when scrolling and an image pops in. For the most part performance is acceptable for me but that's a subjective thing, I can perceive the stutter but it's not bad enough for me to complain about and I'd never even consider buying an iPad to remedy that.
For me memory management is worse than scrolling performance. Jumping in and out of memory intensive applications causes issues eventually as Android tries to dump background process to free up RAM. Hoping ICS helps as people say because that lag switching between or starting apps is more annoying to me.
Opera Mini processes the webpage on Opera servers so it speeds up page load times and I find browsing to be pretty smooth.
Can you elaborate on your definitions of smooth and lag? I compared browsing sites on the Tab and my mbp and unless my macbook pro browser experience is not as great as iOS Im not getting the same substandard performance. Im not seeing deformed images or text. Flash works well.

I agree on memory mgmt. I have to use the task mgr a lot in order to assure decent performance with hd video playback or even netflix.Even then im rebooting at least every other day. Really not seeing poor browser performance. Im running stock rooted currently. Considering a rom but so far I cant see not running into problems like no camera or other bugs which just adds up to swapping one problem for another.

You can set plugins to "on demand" to speed up page loads and only use it when you want to. I don't know why anyone would not have it "on demand". I get this laggyness the OP describes as well on mine without flash even installed. Nothing compared to my first gen ipad so I dont think it's fair to say that's the only reason.

I'm going to give it a go tomorrow. I'm tired of the crummy memory mgmt.
Try this ram manager instead of a task killer. Its very similar to the scripts like v6 supercharger that some devs bake into their rom. Is enhances androids own ram management.
Imo it helps from android killing my browser while I'm using it. Makes the tab generally more responsive and better on battery life by helping android do a better job of stopping rogue apps from eating up ramm in the background.

If you want smooth browsing experience(or a smooth OS in general) get an iPad. All Android tablets I've tried were laggy and had repeated browser crashes(I think there's an issue with JavaScript) and no custom rom will solve these issues.

Usually when i have an issue like that I have to uninstall and reinstall the app. You are correct about having only the balanced option with the free version. For me it does the trick though. Its just enough to have a better experience on all my Android devices.

Tried reinstalling and rebooting with waiting after reboot to reinstall and still it won't work on my Tab. I'm not even running a custom ROM. Weird. No data to clear either. There are a few other similar apps out there. I will see if one of them will work.
Is anyone else noticing a slight jerkiness to scrolling/ movements in general on their N7s?
I'm on my 3rd model and havent noticed this on the previous 2 (although I didnt really look), but my current one has a clear jerkiness when swiping between pages/ homes screens/ scrolling up and down on all apps.
It is only really noticeable when I scroll or swipe very slowly, but there is a clear, albeit small, incremental and regular jump in the movement across all apps.
My 1st Gen ipod touch from 2008 is noticably smoother (still).
When I go slow on mine, it does jump, but that is expected. It probably has x points that is scrolls through, and when it goes slow it goes point by point. It doesn't really matter, usually you scroll normally.

What about when you go to settings/developer options and check to enable Force 2D GPU rendering? Do you notice it getting better or worse?
Where you are having the home screen choppiness, if you're using the stock launcher try deleting the widget that's on the screen where you notice it the most and see if anything changes and let us know.

Where exactly is "here and there"? I would like to check that to answer your question better.
But i personally don't see any stutter or lag in touchwiz. The only thing i can remember that stutters badly, but very very badly, completely unusable, is the gallery. It's just terrible. Downloading the Gallery ICS from the store, and the thing flies.
I have the N-9005 version btw.
I haven't noticed any stuttering at all.
No lag but I want faster response time. Note 3 touch response time a bit faster than Note 2, slower than S4.

^^ non so far either, i got like 5 apps on it and have been using it heavily all day.
Gallery lags, get QuickPic instead. There is sometimes a stutter or screen touch response when hitting the home and apps button. Micro stutter almost. Browser sometimes has stutters.
I'm comparing to another Snapdragon device the G2 and touchwiz is not as smooth as LG's launcher and the G2 screen is more responsive to touches.
Its better than my S4's octalag out of the box. Thats for sure. But not 100% lag free unfortunately more like 97% lagfree. Close but no cigar

I think it's acceptable then. As far as the home button lag it usually is because of S voice. Disable it and you should see a big improvement.

do you have a tutorial to do this?
I have a stock Note 3, and swiping between homescreens is smooth. Lag (jank/hitches/stutter) occurs when scrolling in the browser (some sites perform better than others - but even the sites that perform poorly on the Note 3 perform great on iOS). Scrolling in the ScrapBook is not smooth - very janky/jittery. Same thing with Google Play (the main screen). Scroll and it jitters and stutters a lot. Even does strange screen refreshes at odd times. Scrolling HTML emails stutters (again, some scroll more smoothly than others, but most stutter).
It depends on how sensitive you are to jank.
I am bit disappointed overall. It's not as smooth as my s4, and my nexus 7 2013 is faster and smoother. For example, scrolling home screens is a bit jerky. Native apps can be a little slow to open, say when on the settings menu and making changes and it goes to a sub screen. Makes me realise what a great buy the N7 2ed is.

No lag here n9005 .. no lag in the gallery.. in fact its the fastest gallery I ever seen
Had some occasional lag when I was on MI7 but everything is buttery smooth with the latest MJ7!
Man my phone was released a month ago. I expect lag/software glitches. Early adopters are always mass market beta testers. The hardware specs are proof that all lag is software related. Personally mine runs impressively smooth.

That's interesting, because my Gallery is completely unusable. It's so slow and laggy i can't use it. I have installed a couple of 3rd party gallery and they are all much much faster (Quickpick and ICS Gallery).
How is this possible?!

And how do i do that?
To reduce the impact of bloatware go to Settings > Application manager and look at the All tab. Any app you don’t want to use, you can tap on it and choose Disable. All disabled apps will be listed in a separate tab, so you can always turn them back on again in the future.
You can go further in Settings > About device by tapping the Build number seven times to turn Developer mode on. Now go to Settings > Developer options > Windows animation scale and set it to Animation is off. You can do the same thing in Settings > Developer options > Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale.Also in this page you can change the runtime from dalvik to ART.

Yes same.
But even wit Dalvik there are lags, most annoying while typing text and it hangs for a couple of seconds before catching up. I have the lightest most debloated ROM and still I get 1-2 sec lags, sometimes while scrolling, sometimes while typing, sometimes while loading apps.
It has done this on any ROM from day 1. I have increased Animation Speed, removed S-Voice shortcut on home button, but the lags remain. This is a Samsung disease and this pisses me off.
Now I will have to switch to CM or GE when they appear. The Smsung Software is so broken!

Like I previously said, it's TouchWiz. It will always lag.
How can anyone explain that a new 699$ phone with latest 801 chip and all still has lag while other phones like M8 don't have that much lag if any at all?
No ART or tricks will remove this lag. TouchWiz has many many bloatware. It's that simple.
Don't expect it to get any better. On the contrary, it will get worst with time... Ask SGS3 and SGS4 owners...

It might be more of putting a band-aid or a patch over a wound but for me using Nova Launcher and turning off several TW apps I did not use has helped a lot.
I don't see such a major difference in performance (in ART) compared to the Nexus 5 side-by-side after disabling unnecessary crap and using ART.
Available RAM is a whole different story, the difference is huge but the effects of that so far are not hugely noticeable in my usage patterns.
The S3 multitasking was extemely bad... S5 is much better compared to that, I had a GT-9300.
Edit: I do have the Exynos variant which has Global Task Scheduling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big.LITTLE#Heterogeneous_multi-processing_.28global_task_scheduling.29), I can't say anything about how the Snapdragon might perform.
