done ages ago.
i am on the latest cm7

Try a different launcher
I use launcher pro(sense ui) on my zte blade and have the memory usage settings to high for the launcher(in launcher pro advanced menu) but it doesn't really use that much of memory. I don't experience any lag... My blade is not overclocked(Stock ROM). U could try increasing your blade's VM heap size to 32m and turn on Hardware acceleration. It should make a difference.
Or i could just give u my nandroid backup .....

CM 7.1 stable here, using stock gingerbread launcher. No lag at all.
I also tried launcher pro (no lags), ADW (the stock one from CM and it was VERY slow) and ADW EX (same lags of ADW).
Just try another launcher.

The folders in GO Launcher are buggy, its been mentioned by them a few times :-/ i use it too, but just use different desktops for more icons

I have the same problem on gsf b27

Don't use Go Launcher then.

Zeam works flawlessly and it uses less resources.

There's a bunch of launchers that work smoother than Go Launcher Ex. My Samsung GS+ runs it fine, but Blade is a bit limited in the performance front. LauncherPro and Zeam are great, but there's also a new kid: Balancer Launcher that according to the comments runs even better than Zeam does. Probably worth checking out. I'd link to Android Market but I don't have enough posts to do that

Well, it was your choice to buy a cheap smartphone. Next time think before you buy, so you dont have to be whining here.

I think thats a bit much. This is after all the ZTE Blade Forum so if you do not
have a Blade don't make disparaging comments against forum members, and
if you do own one then you should be a bit more tolerant of members
posts.

Most ridiculous and ignorant comment I've seen lately!

Miss my blade a lot,got an s2 now so sounds weird saying that! Lol. The only reason i miss it is probably sentimental feelings as it was my first smartphone. I remember being blown away by the apps and market etc,then being blown away even more by rooting and installing a Rom making it blazing fast! Superb phone for its price!

[Verdict 10/11/11] MIUI vs Samsung ROMs (Non ASOP ones)

Alright after a week of testing. Heres the rundown.
Stock Features you will miss:
Enhanced Contacts.
Motion Gestures.
HW Accelerated Browser
The Cam. MIUI isnt as good.
Battery life.
MIUI features you will miss if you're hooked:
Firewall
Guard
App lock
Themes
UI. duh.
Elegance.
Overall verdict is wait a bit. MIUI can be better. The MIUI contacts isnt good either.

Oh and Stock Cam vs MIUI Cam.. whats better?

Use skifta instead of allshare and wi fi file explorer instead of kies.
Tw camera is better.

There has to be some Pros and Cons in AOSP ROMs over Stock ROMs. Customisations, speedy UI etc are better but on the other hand there are some simple yet impotent things aren't available or buggy! Why would one buy Samsung on first place and then suddenly they want to get rid of Samsung junk? A little bit of iOS, little bit of Android, I hate it anyway.

I have frozen literally everything all the Samsung bloatware that can be frozen, i think ive used Kies like once, it's a crock of sh*t anyway buggy as hell, allshare is a serious battery drainer too, why do people still use this rubbish then complain about serious battery drainage?

I love all MIUI stuff but I dislike the battery draining, camera is not good and video playback is so poor 'cause Hw aceleration is not working... Ignoring that, I prefer a lot this even over the perfect stock rom, 'cause I can personalize everything.

I've had a look and play with miui and cm7 nightly #99 lately.
Still like Samsung's roms better. To me they just seem more polished. Camera, calendar, etc, add jkay mods in there too.
Also find music sounds better for me on Samsung roms. That surprised me.
I pick cm7 over miui by a mile.
I must be missing something about miui because i didnt see anything to make me use it over Samsung or cm7.

About this, in MIUI you just have to press volume down+menu. Pretty easy IMO...
About everything else im with you, but let me add one more con about MIUI: Call recording doenst work. Not the stock app but neither "CallRecorder" app.
Since this is an important feature for me, I hope they manage to fixed it because I really like MIUI.

Every now and then, i fill that urge to try MIUI or Cyanogen, and after a day or two, i am back to Samsung ROMs ...
1.I've been modifying my framework and TW launcher since my i9000 and i have made my personal setup from it
2.Video codecs support, although recently i've found Dice player who looks extremely capable, even more than the default one
3.The small little things, like brightness swipe on status bar, call and message swipe on contacts and some others that doesn't come to mind right now
4.Like someone else stated, i also like the cohesion of the stock ROM
There are some things that always bothered me that Samsung doesn't implement in it's ROMs like percentage battery and BLN. I mean, those are are easy to do, add functionality and they blend well with stock ..., but luckily, this is Android and we can do it ourselves .

SilentRazor said:
Now that MIUI have officially launched the S2 ROM. I tried it. I used to use the Litening ROM. So far there have been PROS and CONS. Some neat features that I love that I dont wanna go back. But there are some minor things which I can't live without either.
I will be updating this thread with Pro and Cons with you guys support.
Stock ROM features I miss:
The Motion Gestures. In Gallery and on Launcher. I think that was TouchWiz 4.0... right?
Kies and AllShare. I would love to have those two. SGS2 is the only Android device out there with DLNA support and would be a shame to cut it out. --There are alternatives. WifiFile Explorer. And Upnplay.
The easy screenshots like iOS.
Swype support. I sideloaded Swype but looks like I cant switch themes. And the Official Swype installer on MIUI says the resolution isn't supported. Weird. -- It works.
The Camera App. For some weird reason I think the MIUI Cam has flaws. -- Still looking for an alternative. Gonna checkout TW Camera.
And this may be stupid but MIUI doesnt show H+ icons. Just H. (Network icon) -- Think themes can fix this.
MIUI Features I love:
The torch. Pretty neat, you can use it by pressing the Home Button.
The UI and themes. Obvious
The Music App Lyrics
You can lock specific apps. And even hide them.
The Guard feature. Now I can give my phone to anyone w/o worrying bout them snooping.
Status: Back to Stock. MIUI has Battery drain issues.

and the only thing stock vs Miui i care is the internet browser in stock rom that comes with hardware accelerated. And also the long press edit for search is imssing in MIUI.

Imagine using ICS with Spare Parts+ and an alternative launcher, then it would be EVEN faster!!!!
I hope battery performance has also been improved.
Looks great & I'm looking forward to the official & final release.

Nice hope we can get a non TW skinned ICS for the note.

Is this the ics from maui?

Yes it is.

Touchwiz is great why would you want rid of it? All those mint things Like status bar brightness adjust, toggles in the status bar and swipe to take a screen shot. I agree thetouchwiz launcher is limited, but touchwiz isn't just a launcher. I use go launcher because its amazingly smooth. If you want the total ics look all you need to do is install the launcher from it. But IMO even the ics launcher is limited incustomisation, compared to the the likes of go, adw, launcher pro.

well its not official is it, does anyone what it is, is it the cyanogen port by any chance because i notice in the vid its a modded rom with rom manager there and superuser, and it certainly doesnt look completely stock, so does anyone have any idea what this is?
Id love to give it a trial run but i need stability and i use the camera a lot so for me, its a case of having to wait.

Thats how CM's work you need to wait 8-9 months to enjoy the benefits. Till then stock roms are better. ( based on experience with S1 and S2 )

The camera and bluetooth will work when they get their hands on the right drivers.

I have mine rooted with custom rom and it flies, even right out the box there was no lag but with the megablast rom it goes fast.

I've had some issue's with lagging at certain times. I use my tablet a lot but I'm on my 4th tablet in the last two years and this ones been the laggeist. I have not had time to narrow it down but I run out of ram pretty quick. With that said the tablet performs great and I have no other complaint. I guess root & rom is my next step cause this tablet is a keeper.

I use Nova Launcher and a couple of seconds from sleep mode to screen on is the only "significant kind of lag" I have noticed, which barely affects my wonderful experience and opinion about this tablet. I do not regret this purchase given the massive personal and proffesional use I put it through on a daily basis with outstanding performance, non to mention the pleasant screen and stereo sound multimedia experience.
I am actually running the MJ6 firmware (pretty old) and I hope Samsung will release the 4.4 MX UI update short after the new Pro series arrival. The 4.4 kitkat firmware has enhanced the Note 3 in many aspects (battery life and smoothness among others) so I have high expectations for the Note 10.1 2014. We'll see
iiSo say we all!! from my SM-P600

no lag here, dude.. just stutter sometimes...

Using LTE version here. Install apex launcher, turn off all the smart screen options and this tablet flies.

THERE IS NO LAG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Tab is amazing. The ONLY lag is the STUPID and USELESS Samsung TouchWiz idiotic launcher. Root the tab, install for Nova under system apps, make it default launcher, reboot and obliterate TouchWiz. DOne. No more lag ever.

It's always the issue with Android tablets that they'll be lagging more then apple pads. Although I'm happy with the Note 10.1 less till no lag a at all. I wasn't sure how it will be before I bought. I'm coming from LG-GPAD and trust me that one DOES lag as hell.

Don't need to be rooted to have nova launcher and as for bloatware go into settings and apps and you can disable most things you don't use and the stuff from Samsung normally begin with s as silly as it sounds you will find them

If that doesn't sort it try these changers posted here http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/293533-how-speed-up-mobile-chrome-browser.html that should do the trick not that I've done either but I know they work as I used them on my moto g and now chrome fly's

No lag here. Have had my 32gb since Friday. I use Nova, but used Wiz for two days. Neither UI lags, but I prefer Nova due to features. No comparison, IMO.
Mine is not rooted and I do not see the need to root with this device.

Scrolling smoothness

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Redmi Note 9 Pro under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

128GB 6GB version here. Only thing I've seen that's laggy is when swiping down the Google Now on the left hand side of MIUI launcher. Seems to get a bit sticky. No idea what's causing it.... I don't remember Nova Launcher having the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Fixed by updating to the latest Google in Beta

For me it's still lagging with recent google beta app

Nova launcher+3rd party full screen gesture instead of miui system gesture. That's usually what lags in most xiaomi phones. Even using the nav bar will be less laggy

Try updating to the newest version of MIUI Launcher. The version that comes on the phone is old and doesn't include the option to use an app drawer. Here is a the link to the newest version. This is official, and is NOT a beta verison. This is the release version. I'm using it with NO issues and having an app drawer is great.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaom...auncher-release-4-16-0-1798-04231923-release/

I am already using the most recent miu launcher and it is still lagging hmm strange
Edit: 11.0.8 update plus most recent google beta app finally fixed it for me. Not entirely perfect, but good enough. Hope it stays that way...
