Hi guys,
I ordered a GNote 3 and I'm really excited. But I read a lot of stories about the lollipop really buggy, memory leak, and battery drain. But I don't see many comments about these in the ROM thread, and someone mentioned that they like Stock lollipop better than CM12. Does this mean stock lollipop for Exynos is working fine? I don't have the device yet, so I have no way to try out yet myself, but I plan to flash my desired ROM right away when I get the phone. It could be one of the TW lolliop ROMs or CM12.
Just a note that I would love to run lollipop, and not kitkat. So could you please advise around that? Are there tweak that people use to fix the issues?
Thanks!
Hello!
Right now I have over a month testing the stock LP ROM on an exinos device, it has been quite a good experience, the ROM is very responsive, and although it has a huge memory leak (I have found my device running on RAM as high as 85% with no running apps, just running the processes needed for the OS to run) nevertheless I can harddly notice any lag n the system, I use Clan Master to monitor RAM usage, when I find my device I use the clean now feature, and the RAM usage goes back to around 60-65%.
On the battery subject I run my Note 3 paired via bluetooth with a Gear S, and I am getting between 20 to 24 hrs. Of continuos use, so taking into account I am always running with bluetooth on, I think I am getting a pretty decent usage time, I would like to let you know that I mustly connect to the internet via WIFI, only use Celllular Data when driving or in places where there is no WIFI available.
After installing LP ROM I went straight to rooting my device and installing Titanium Backup in order to be able to debloat, I have managed to uninstall APK that I found useless for me, and got rid of them, also I use Greenify and I have greenifyed every app not essential, I also use Startup Manager ( Free) to get control over what apks startsup.
Finally, I use tasker to get control over how my device handles the changes between Cell Data and WIFI.
I hope you find this information useful, and please excuse my english!
Hi I just recently rooted my device and installed twrp. I wanted to get the most out of my device but am unsure with which Roms or tweets to try out first. I would like something light that makes the phone feel fast to run normal use apps. I do use Bluetooth to listen podcasts and music most of the day. Towards the end of the day I watch YouTube usually when I am connected to the charger. I wanted an rom or tweet to help get me better battery life and better performance in light tasks.
I am not a heavy gamer or camera user. Music and video and texting are my main things
I also use the finger print reader so that is a must as well
Forme, definitely HydrogenOS
from hydrogen os im still missing some features. Even though cm13 official just got realeased and oos 3.0 official , i would either upgrade to one of those.
Hello xda members
I got this in my mind , and i need some answers if u have it please .
I have the s7 edge for monthes now and my mother got the iphone 7 .. so i tryed somegames onn it and one of them was subway surfers .. i tryed it in both devices and found that the i phone 7 have much less lagg in between the touch and and the result like when u swap the character in iphone 7 it feels more fast like u will never miss anything in it , very fast results .not like my s7 edge that some times need to do more than one time to do somthing and it have some lagg to see a result ( by lag i mean a numbers in millie seconds )
is there in way to improve that in the s7 edge ?
Clear cache in recovery, disable animations in dev options, enable Force 4xMSAA in dev options, disable systems apps you don't need, make sure there are no apps running in the background when you play. See if this makes any difference.
I've been using my galaxy s8 (G950U) for about two weeks now. I feel like I've been ripped off. This thing gets warm just from streaming music via Pandora. Geekbench scores are better on both my Exynos s7 edge and my old note 5. Then there's the USB C audio lag. As soon as I plugged in usb c headphones, my s8 basically froze to the point of unusable. Anyone else having these problems or did I just happen to pick up a bad phone?
Havent noticed any of your issues.
I haven't tried USB-C headphones, but I am actually very satisfied with my phone apart from the battery. It's fast, responsive, handles everything I throw at it. Don't rely too much on benchmarks, it doesn't always represent the day to day use.

Haven't had it as long as you but i'm on day 4 and so far so good. Hopefully it stays that way.

I had an AT&T version and now an Exynos UK version. Both are incredibly responsive the latter more so. I spent hours yesterday with my phone connected to SideSync configuring it. Not a stutter or stall in anything I did. I can see how an S8 via Dex can emulate a PC. Your issues seem like a one-off. Most likely due to some combination of apps you have installed, something you've disabled or frozen, or a utility run amok (EG: Bixby re-mapper). Do you use SmartSwitch? Some apps don't like to be restored vs. installed fresh. As for USB-C I used it all day yesterday connected to a USB 3.0 port on my PC and regularly to connect my phone to Android Auto. The phone's performance never changed.
Here's how I configure my U.S. phones (it's not necessary on imports):
From a fresh restore from recovery I skip signing in to my Google and Samsung accounts.
I uninstall or disable all the carrier junk and any other apps I won't use.
I don't disable Samsung core apps because they're interdependent and can create problems and battery drain when they look for each other and they aren't there.
I sign in to my Samsung account and disable the syncs I don't use and then update all my pre-installed Samsung apps and download optional ones I use.
I sign in to my Google account and disable the syncs I don't use and quickly disable auto-update in the Play Store so I can control what's installed or updated.
Only after all my apps are in place do I start to play with the settings.
I backed up my AT&T S8+ to Samsung Cloud and only restored my apps, music, photos, documents, phone logs, and MMS history. Moving settings over is a crap shoot if something from the old phone incorrectly overlays something on the new phone. It's more time consuming to do it this way but (knock on wood) I've never had battery drain issues or any other funkiness with a new phone and I go through many. Good luck.
No problem
No problem here, really good performances overall.
Mine runs really well too. Very happy customer
Everything is ok here.. very fast
I have similar experience. My exynos S7E is way faster than this Snapdragon S8. Though I did get the UFS 2.0 version. Probably going to sell it and pick up another exynos.
Mine runs as slow as my galaxy s1...
I'm satisfied with mine. It's a beauty inside and outside ?

I only have the AT&T bloatware installed. I also transferred the same apps from my s7 edge to my s8, so I doubt it's any extra apps I installed. Could me having a UFS 2.0 have an effect?
Coming from a Google Pixel, I'd say animations and general smoothness/responsiveness are definitely not up there.
It's not slower, it's just jerkier. I wish Samsung gave the same attention to software polishing as it does with hardware.
it's the bixby button remapper apps
mine was fine, then i installed one of those. then the phone was so sluggish and jerky when scrolling
disabled the remapper, and it's buttery smooth again

it must be something you have installed.
do you have any other apps showing in settings>accessibility>services?
Mine is smooth and fast. I disabled the bixby apk's, but only so I didn't accidentally hit the bixby button, not because there was lag or anything. I turn off all animations/etc in developer settings on all my phones since the animations seem pointless. Fastest phone I have had to date, with the Note 7 right there with it. The s7E also very fast. Now going back to my Note 4 - BIG difference in speed, the Note 4 felt sluggish as any 3 year old phone would in comparison.
Very smooth. As fast as iPhone 7 I have.
Try Factory Reset
Phone is awesomely quick even on power saving mode.

I think this is your problem: some people reported issues when transferring programs and settings from one device to another using smart switch and claim all was well after resetting and installing everything fresh. I can't confirm it, since I didn't transfer anything from my old phone except phone book, but then I don't have any issues either.
Hi there
Where to start? So I ride a motorcycle most of the time and I like to use Google Maps, Here and Waze when travelling, but I don't like to put my main phone on the motorcycle to use it as a GPS nor I like to have to stop to check my phone every time I am not sure I missed an exit or something, so I picked up my dad's old moto G3 that he had laying around here to use exclusively as a GPS device, I even got a little motorcycle cellphone holder for it and it's pretty good for it, the thing is, even though I have uninstalled everything I could and disabled everything that I won't use on this device to make it use as less RAM as possible and to help battery last longer too the device is still super slow even with just Google Maps running.
I tried downloading a less demanding launcher for it but I didn't feel any difference to be honest. I tried enabling a low ram mode for it but I couldn't get it to work too. So I figured the best thing to do is install a custom rom that is very very basic and very lightweight, but the thing is: I have no idea how to do it lol You see I am pretty good with computers but I am a complete noob with customizing phones so I don't know how to do nearly anything.
Could you guys help me find a good rom for the purpose I described and if possible explain to me how to install it? I'd very very grateful.
The phone is a Motorola G3 2015 model number XT1544 and it has 16GB of storage, idk if it makes any difference but it's a Brazilian made phone.
Thanks in advance
