How to Fix Micro-Stutter / Lag - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want this thread to contain all the repeatable ways to get rid of the lag on the G2. (the stuttering that affects the scrolling that can be seen in the launcher/other apps). For example, just open your text messaging and start scrolling through the conversation. Do this for 30 seconds and you will definitely notice the jerkiness)
Users are reporting that accessing the hidden menu and turning off thermal controls help.
A particular build.prop reportedly has the same function to turn off thermal controls for the verizon users that cannot access the hidden menu.
Users are also reporting that changing the governor helps with the stuttering.
Are there any users that can verify that the smoothness has improved? Whether with these methods or another?

Would it be possible to put this in the q and a section and put a ? At the end of the title? This looks like a thread for improving lag, not a request for tips to improve it.

None of these tips are revolutionary, but they do work. Here's some things I did to eliminate lag.
1. Installed clean rom (optional, but c'mon, just do it)
2. Installed Nova launcher
3. In Nova settings go to look & feel > scroll speed > choose stock.
4. In Nova settings go to look & feel > animation speed > choose stock
5. In phone settings go to lock screen. Change unlock animation to dewdrop.
Phone is buttery smooth now. Changing the Nova scroll and animation to stock made the most difference. And dewdrop has the least amount of lag of all the other animations. These steps seem simple, but they made a big difference for me.

I know what the TS wants to point out. The G2 is blazing fast, there's no doubt about it. But the current Firmware has some minor issues when it comes to scrolling smoothness. One reason could be that LG used outdated driver modules for this build. Optimizations could be the other reason. Either way, it'll improve with upcoming updates, especially when we get Android 4.3 .
I'm running AOSP right now, but maybe somebody with Stock ROM + Root could disable scrolling cache within the build.prop , that could do the trick.

I just found the miui launcher the other day and after trying it realized there is VERY little I could remember about the rom that was different besides the launcher itself(which the independent app really did a good job of) and the status bar pulldown options. It had a few differences in settings like cm7 does.. but outside those little differences miui seems more launcher than rom.
I never gave revamped much of a try because I didn't like miui(for above reasons) and didn't see much difference..
Revamped has tweaks and things the devs do to make their version of miui the best it can be. Flash miui.us first and after a week flash revamped. See if you notice a difference in the level of awesomeness.
Vibrant+MIUI
I would also like to hear some user feedback of MIUI Revamped.
I came from CM7 and gave MIUI.US a shot, and haven't gone back since. I love the smoothness and the interface of the ROM. With Neo 17 my battery life is ridiculously good... and GPS works great with the CM7 GPS fix posted in the development section. I just don't know if I could want any more out of this phone currently. Its fast, battery efficient, everything works as it should...
I want to try revamped, and I surely will... but I am interested in some user feedback.
Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
Im running miui revamped and i must say ill never go back to 2.2 or gb.....its extremely fast,has added tweaks for modems and kernels,it is100%customizeable from status bar to dialer,message,dock,lock bar to lock screen,everything is customizeable.
Main diff. between the 2 is revamped comes packed with a powered well built kernel,script tweaks,and some apps that you may or may not find useful.
I did find that for me the kb5 modem works better for me than the ka7 modem it comes with.
Never tried stock miui before.now running on miui revamped ss + Bali 1.2.1 kernel. so far so smooth .battery life is good so far.
Go for miui revamped ss.... this rom made me stick with cm7 based gingerbread.

Should you use this as a daily ROM? I think yes. This is the most mature ICS rom Samsung has released, with 97% of things working. There will be people who don't like TWlauncher, but it's just a matter of haters gonna' hate. Besides, there will probably be a lot more people complaining if things were drasticaly changed.

What's horizontal swiping like?
The LPB kernel on CM9 works great, with the exception of a much longer swipe being required to go from screen to screen.
Edit: should add the GPS module works as it should on LPB as well.
Thanks a lot for saving my work. Please update it with more points, it will help us all.
No, gallery very smooth. And I have lots of pics.

GS4 Running slowly, keyboard missing keys, and just other miscues

Hey Guys
So I am coming up from an HTC Evo 4G..(not LTE) so you already know this phone is a come up for me. I noticed, however, that the phone is running a tad slowly. Here are a few examples, maybe you all could help me out.
First - when I put in my password pin the phone will lag and catch up when I press OK. Now, technically, this is not that much of an issue because the phone opens up when I press OK...but to see that lag is a little disconcerting.
Second - if I am typing some messages the keyboard will miss certain inputs in my typing. Now maybe I am typing a little too fast, but, come on? I know I am touching those keys... I am using SmartKeyboard but I figure that could be an issue too.
I notice that my ram climbs up pretty high. I clear all my programs...but still. Anyway to remove this bloatware?
Finally is there a root out yet?
Thanks guys. Sorry for the litany of questions

Either debloat for yourself or flash a custom ROM.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
There is a root available for the phone as well as a stock ROM that is entirely free of bloatware located here.
The lag may, in fact, be the keyboard you're using. The most popular keyboard of choice - and for good reason - is SwiftKey; have you given this keyboard a shot? I use it myself and type extremely fast and it keeps up better than my iPhone 4S ever did.

You can try to uninstall most of the bloatware apps but a lot of them aren't able to be uninstalled which is why people root and head to a custom ROM.
Sooner or later you'll find yourself flashing AOSP ROMs for a complete Vanilla stock Android experience and a performance increase and flashing often.
It's an addiction, I caution you my friend!

o yes, i understood that. but I just don't want to brick this thing...I'm a little nervous about that
its kinda hard to brick any samsung galaxy phone.. u would have to do thing really stupid for a brick
100% stock here and using the stock samsung keyboard I also can validate the lag and skippy issues. The chief editor over at phone dog goes over and over about this. So its kind of a known issue. I am coming from the s3 and it was smoother when it came to typing and multitasking. I end freezing and dropping frames a lot I am hoping samsung comes up with a fix.

I hope it will help. You can count me in !
finally a official cm11 forum for the n7. been checking in on my n5 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-nexus-5-t2584004
been running stock and cm11 on my n5 and n7 both with run time ART. stock with ART its much smoother then cm11 but not by much. stock is way more stable but cm11 is so much more fun.
Yeah I love cm11 but I keep getting random reboots which is a bit of a pain. So I went back to stock. However my Nexus 5 runs like a dream and love all the extra stuff that I can do. Can't wait for cm to be more stable.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So, I enabled ART to see the difference, if any. One app wouldn't run. That was Real Racing 3. Otherwise, snappy app loads. Recent app list loads pretty zippy also. Restored a few apps with TiBu without any hitches. I am running Elemental X and not the stock CM kernel on 4/14 nightly.
MY problem is that the lockscrren only works at portrait, i´t wont switch to landscape.
After unlocking it rotates immediatly.
You can activate the landscape mode for the lock screen by going into : Settings > Display and lights > Rotation and check "Enable lock screen rotation"
That's easy no ?
I'm also running on the latest snapshot of CM11 on my N7 LTE.
It randomly reboots constantly! So infuriating, as it does it regularly using certain functions.
When Google Play checks for updates, reboot.
When a BT headset is linked, random reboot.
When using GPS speedometers (which is mandatory when I'm driving my old Bug with broken speedo cable), random reboot.
Other things trigger it as well, but they're even more random and I can't pinpoint it.
Sorry to leave the glory that is Cyanogenmod, but it's entirely unusable for me with these issues. Backing up and preparing to go back to stock as I type. I'd be happy to help in any way that I can to resolve this.
Please, do you known where is the XDA thread for Nexus 7 v2013?

My experience has been the same.
In the past, I always found CM and other custom Roms to be reliable enough. That was when I had a Galaxy S Vibrant, and then an LG G2X.
Since I've now had a N4 (RIP), N7 LTE/DEB (resurrected) and N7 Grouper, on none of them do 3rd party Roms even come close to the stability of stock. Whenever I try anything else, I end up with reboot issues - on ALL of my devices. I've tried Slim, Carbon, Paranoid, Cm11 official, Kangs, etc. Nothing is as stable as stock.
I'm not sure what cancer has infected 3rd party Roms, but I sure wish someone would get serious about fixing stability issues. I miss the features, but I'd rather have stability.
Xposed framework gives me some of what I miss from custom Roms as well. Some claim they don't like how it "mucks with" the framework and modifies the system... well, so do custom Roms.. and I've never had a reboot issue due to using Xposed.
Hello everybody I have installed cm 11 m7 and I can't find the quickboot option is there any way to enable this or install ?

Disabling low fps in the UI. End result: The most fluid phone you will use.

First of I created this thread because it seemed like people where having success in getting rid of the lag and stutter they see. Ill explain why LG implements this in their phone later on. First of lets get to binness.
The option is hidden in the dailer menu. Its the last option called dynamic LCD refresh off/on.
Here is a pic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you press it, select screen fps and it should disable the dynamic fps system which reduces the UI frame rates and causes perceived mild stutters. Shut the phone off for 10 seconds and then turn it back on. The settings should stick.
60fps is smoother than any phone I have ever owned. This phone never lagged out of the box. LG implemented this feature that changes the screen refresh rate dynamicly. So while you are using your phone normally in the UI, it drops the animation FPS to 30 fps. This apperantly conserves battery.
It is kinda like the same thing that Nvidia does with their mobile gtx 800m GPU's. They give the user the option to set a target frame rate and then the cpu/gpu only works hard enough to meet the target fps, never working harder than it has to. This is basically bringing down CPU/GPU utilization and saving battery life.
Example: If I where to play Titan Fall on my PC and set the target frame rate to 60fps, my CPU/GPU avarage utilization will be 80%. If i set the target fps to 30fps the my CPU/GPU avarage utilization will be 60%, saving me battery life.
I hope this makes sense, and I created this thread to give some people awareness about this option. The 801 soc breezes through this QHD display.
Update: For people who are having sticking issues, try to enable both of these options. It is not a 100% though, but try your luck.
I'll give it a shot. I personally don't know how much better this phone could get for how I use it.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------
I followed the instructions but after boot it did not stick so I will see if it sticks by just switching off and just using the phone with a reboot.
My setting also did not stick after a reboot, but it seems smoother... doesn't make any sense unless I'm imagining things.
