I recently purchased an S4 (switched from an iPhone 5) and am generally enjoying it. However, the phone feels a lot more sluggish than it should, given its substantial hardware. I rooted the phone and installed TWRP, and am mulling over custom ROMs now.
My question is regarding the removal of the resource hog known as TouchWiz. If I understand correctly, the only way to remove it (and see any real benefits) is to flash a non-TouchWiz kernel and then an AOSP ROM, yeah? If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a little guidance on what needs to be done to restore a more "stock Android" feel.
Yeah flashing a rom will do it
But try nova launcher first

Try a custom kernel also. Most do see a smoother experience after switching. Otherwise just do a nandroid and flash some custom ones. Then can always revert back if needed.
I feel ya on this phone. I came from a 2 yr old galaxy s2 and this thing runs worse than it did. Wonder why this super spec phone is so glitchy. Time to flash rom should fix it.

You have a bad phone if it's running slow
I don't want to bother with rooting so switching to Nova Launcher Prime made my S4 experience so much better.

I thought that. After 3 generations of samsungs, ive owned. I figured its part of them. So I rooted/debloated/greenified and its running great. Im very picky on how my computers/phones run. I cant stand lag, and will not have it. I was just let down that the out of box "Next Big thing" Had the same lags as the sgs1. Yes we on xda can fix it but what about the average consumer? Hell no. Or would the average consumer not notice?

I would think the average consumer would notice. The lag is considerable out of the box however it seems to not be 100% of the devices. Some have reported smooth operation since day one. Mine was not smooth but very laggy. The MDL didn't get rid of it and Samsung really needs to get on the stick and should be embarrassed to release the device in that state. Obviously I fixed the lag but with the specs it should of been smooth as silk out of the box. Personally I don't think Touchwiz is the issue but lack of optimization of the features.

If it is fixable by flashing a custom kernel/rom or custom launcher (reported by some) than don't see how it can be a faulty phone. Not by way of hardware anyways.
Guys where is the lag? Are we talking just scrolling and stuff around on the honescreen? And just with TW launcher? Or in other places like running apps, browsing,etc

For me it was not just with the TW launcher and swiping, opening apps, waking up from power button, etc all had delay.

Ok well yeh that sounds like a bad phone.I say that because mine is stock and dont have that problem.this is the fastest phone ive ever had. And of course you shouldnt have to install a rom to get your phone "right",so thats another reason I say bad phone.it should fly right out the box,esp bone stock before you add app s. I have over 200 and it zooms
Lag was in and out of apps. Returning home. Scrolling through screens stock weather widget would take a few seconds to appear. All over felt quirky. After a lil tweaking it runs great

That is why i specifically said "not bad hardware wise anyways" since many are fixing it by flashing custom.
I do see the point you are trying to make and not trying to create an argument so please don't think that. You are lucky to get a smooth running phone right out of the box. :good:

For starters I disabled some features. Went into svoice and disabled double tap home button. to open svoice. That adds lag to returning to home as it waits a few ms waiting for 2nd tap. Rooted of course and debloated the rom did a lot. No swype! Its laggy on everything. Plus a few days gone by and kernel & everything just setteling in. I have not flashed kernel or messed with cpu. Speeding up animations I've always felt it makes phone really glitchy so I leave it at 1.
Edit greenify also. disabled few apps like The Score that runs always. Greenify is a must. It should come stock

I read a couple of reviews saying that touchwiz stutters here and there on the Note 3. Can anyone who has the phone speak on this? Thanks!

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?!
I've had the S5 for about a week and it's lagging way too much for me. it's completely stock with all of the S-Features turned off. Gallery, browser, camera, everything is extremely slow. anyone else having this issue?

I had my phone slow down a bit (Judging by benchmark scores) so I flashed the AEL Kernel and tinkered around until I found a good combo of governer and scheduler.. I am using the Alliance ROM on a G900F with dancedance and Deadline.. Antutu ranked my device as #5556 in all devices, but I see people with the same phone as me still scoring 1000 points above me..

I also froze most of the google bloatware and Sfinder and Svoice, and used ROM Toolbox to make an SD Boost changing the value 256K to 3072K (which seemed to be the sweet spot according to the in-app benckmark)
Yep.
Get ready to see your 699€ SGS5 slow down like no other.
In time Samsung's updates will slow the device.
Sometimes I even think they have disabled TRIM... I just don't trust them.

Disable the bloat and switch to art. the phone will be much more faster with a lot less ram consuming.

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.
Note 4 is a great phone but coming from M8 and sense seems that the Note 4 is very laggy.
Not sure if it is 805 chipset cannot handle the resolution just like G3 801 chipset couldn't handle it, but Note 4 is very laggy. Might be the bloware withing touchwiz, but loading time is slow and alot of native app (app store, facebook etc) have a hard time loading and smooth scrooling.
Yes i do have the latest update and hoping this is only software related which can be fix with an update.
This lag reporting is wierd. I've only rooted, have installed a ton of crap, froze nothing and I've had 0 lag yet.

Absolutely zero lag. Even a before the update. But then again I don't consider an app taking 2 10ths of a second to open "lag". Lag to me is windows 98 on a 86 computer.

I have the LG G3 and the Note 4. The LG G3 isn't that bad, but the Note 4 is perfectly smooth. About the only thing that will lag on LG G3 is my SwiftKey. Not an issue at all on the Note 4.
With the Note 4 just being released, a lot of lag the Note 4 is being blamed for could possibly be attributed to the initial setups and synchronizing going on in the background. The phone is actually very fast.
I haven't seen any lag other then when going to recent apps, which would lag on the g3.

Change the animtion duration in developers options will boost things a little . Just depend the lag you are descibing ? I expected TW to have a little lag but its nothing that rooting and and debloating a bit cant fix .
Can someone try Google Now Launcher and see how that feels on the device? Anyone also able to compare their experience to a Nexus 5? I have the G3 and it is not nearly as smooth. Lag is not very prevalent, but it's there and noticeable for me... nothing like the Nexus 5.

Yes touchwiz is laggy in my end compare to M8 buttersmooth sense. I'm using nova which is smooth. STILL opening application and load time M8 is FASTER as of now, a lot of application stutter and lag when scrolling. If you are coming from a note 3 or LG G3 might not notice a difference, but if you are coming from a M8 or even a nexus 5 you will see and differences.
Google now Is perfect for me and my launcher of choice is Next.
I have next on max Settings and still smooth

Smooth as butter for me....let the initial setup do its job and check your sync settings. ..also disable auto update in playstore.....maybe that's why some have seen pseudo lag.

Have you experienced lag in Nexus 6p?
Mine mostly lags in developer setting for example when I toggle sRGB it lags a little and when I open the developer setting after restart. Also when I was restoring my apps in play store I tried to cancel one of the apps and it said google play is not responsive.
There will be certain services that are going to lag for everyone, most of the time its when processes happen that are allowed to utilize all processing power. Such as installing apps.
For me it doesn't lag for anything beside developer options. It might be a software issue that gets fixed with an update. Other than that, it's been the fastest Android device I've owned so far.

This is the fastest android I've owned too, but I came from Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which is 3 years old and it is touchWiz. Most of the times the only thing that lags is developer options and rarely it lags in the play store. Hopefully they will fix the issues in a software update.
I haven't had any lag whatsoever on my 6P, although my Nexus 9 suffers from terrible lag, which is very annoying since the lag on my original Nexus 7 was the whole reason I bought the 9.
I've had some other issues with the 6P, such as Bluetooth randomly disconnecting and not reconnecting until after a reboot, and the camera app has completely frozen up once or twice.
But otherwise it's undoubtedly the best Nexus device I've ever owned.

I am having this issue too. Opening apps, using the fingerprint scanner, hitting the recents button, sometimes they lag or are sluggish almost to the point where I have to hit them again because I think that the tap didn't register. Then it opens twice or opens/closes because of the sluggishness. It's really strange and beginning to think it's an app or a kernel issue.
