I'm experiencing stutters/hiccups on animations when going from an app to the recents menu on the animation, it also starts to stutter on the ripple effect on the fingerprint when the screen is completely off and on a lot of the animations that come with the device is anyone experiencing this or is the problem related to just my phone ???

Drop the animation from 1x to .5x in developer options i find it pretty much eliminates any jitter or lag , also clearing cache in recovery can help

That doesn't really fix the issue it just hides it I really want the animations at the same speed but smoother do you have the same problem at 1x speed ?

This phone hasn't stuttered once since I've gotten it. You have some rogue app or issue obviously causing this.
First thing I've done since my first Android is enable dev options THEN set ALL animations to 0. Makes things lightning fast. I don't get animations whether on a PC, Mac or phone. You are intentionally slowing down your interface! When you click on something you expect an INSTANT reaction, right? Try it once, you may like it!
And yes I have a S10e and S10+ 1TB and both are the fastest Android devices yet as far as response goes. That includes prior devices that were rooted and/or run custom roms so that it definitely saying something.

I mean sure you may prefer no animations but i kinda prefer having them and also no the lag/stutter does not affect the response the app still opens at the same speed just the animation lagging and i expect a buttery smooth experience on a phone worth 1k$.

Is it an Exynos rooted model or Snapdragon non-rooted? There was lag when I used dual sim and micro SD patch on my rooted Note9 that only one dev was able to fix(Dr.Ketan)

Non-rooted exynos version almost brand new got it 4 weeks ago
Hmm, not sure then what could be causing it. I have 128GB Exynos and it seems faster than my Note9 Exynos and S10+ Snapdragon to me in app/UI response times. I'd try removing microSD card to see if that makes difference, if not then factory reset would be worth a try.

I tried factory resitting nothing works I've seen this issue being reported on reddit as well people said it started after March security patch.
I have some microstutterings and lags here and there too in my S10+ Exynos 128 GB/8 GB Variant. Tried reboot, clearing cache from recovery and all sort of things but it has slight lags/stutters here and there, mostly during opening of app drawer and switching quickly between apps using double tap of recent key.

No that never helps
On fast phones you should never use this option unless you like ugly too-fast animations
I set mine to 1.25 on all 3 using SystemUI Tuner or ADB.
I’m having the same issue....I don’t like the way it looks without animations and neither with reduce animations turned on. But the way the phone stutters is unacceptable. It’s really fast...it’s the fastest phone...everything opens instantly...but the animations are very very very bad...at least comparing it to my iPad 6th gen. It’s just not that smooth. Even if the hardware is much powerful. Tried every solution that I found in internet...wiped cache..turned on high performance mode..turned of battery optimization for the one ui application...nothing worked...and also I think that with 0.5 from developers options it stutters more...
Without animations it's as fast as you want!
I don't get this fascination with animations. They intentionally add lag!
iOS is different and Android most likely will never be that way.
I wish they could be turned off in iOS too!
Personally I blame Apple for all of this whether it was losing glass icons or all blinding white menus...
OSX animations were bleh and when MS tried copying them in Vista...ugh!
The CPU runs essentially at light speed. When you click on something it should respond similarly.
No animations is like swimming in water.
Adding animations is like replacing the water with molasses.
Not sure why anyone would want that.
But to each is own.

Me too +1 here, its super fast, faster than ipad2 , and has whole lot of fun features now hope to see a stable version to play all the games
Here's mine just as a point of comparison. I'm running Thor's v96.
I have the face lock settings. But i am NOT using it. I set it up the flashed the acer ring. I like the lock screen ring over the face lock.. I hardly ever lock my tablet. I Think for the most part ics is great. the browsers are much lacking CHROME Will often end up dead at a black screen with more then a few tabs open with text tearing. Stock browers has artifacts and some tearing with the same text issues as chrome.. I think the issue is that acer does not have hardware acceleration tweaked correctly. if at all for applications. it seems the browsers are lagging not the os. as in the past it seemed to me it was android.

Hey Erica, I swear that I remember reading somewhere that Chrome and ICS are not the best of friends. Google is working on making their browser more ICS friendly but it's not there yet.

You are both correct. it only works. WELL KINDA WORKS.. do not get me wrong ITS MAD FAST Compared to stock honeycomb browser. But for me it seems to give me a black screen just at the MOST WRONG TIME EVER. GRRRRRRR. yes frustrating. The stock browser in my opinion is more stable then chrome.but this is from 2-3 days using ICS. it could change.

Good words for the thread! I am aware of Androids operating techniques. I am looking for the rom that from boot runs on the least ram. With no apps going except required apps. Thus leaving more RAM for all of your other desires We are well aware(most) that we have a dual core tegra 2 tab with limitations since tegra 3 is about to drop into stores everywhere... we still have a powerful device and anyway I can free up some space from the start, I will take I like minimalist roms... as well as fully loaded. ICS is proving to be troublesome for random people and I want to be one of the ones that says, "Oh... no SOD here. Just smooooooth butter."

This is totally true . The screen shot i provided was Right after flashing the rom NO Email accounts set up. or nothing.
Android Os lets things sit in memory but sorta static it shows them taking up valuable ram.This allows them to use less cpu cycles to wake up PREVENTING Ram and cpu spikes. Thus using less resources and battery consumption. Yes i nknow techie guys this is not totally exact explanation but its a quick and easy one.With the basic concept.
I will add the above is the reason why task managers that Auto kill aggressively will fight with the android built in memory management. Thou they are good for trouble shooting apps that are rogue.
Sorry if this turned off topic just my screen shot being a fresh install was not totally accurate now im averaging 301 to 320s and it looks to be the average .

Interesting knowledge.
I'm probably not alone in watching this thread with interest...I'm looking forward to ICS, while admittedly happy with 3.2.1. I'm looking less at memory use than I am at stability; since moving to the almost-stock-yet-rooted Honeycomb, I've had close to zero problems I didn't create for myself.
For me, changing ROMs (I often wonder how the OS image got the nickname ROM, which means read-only and implies flashing to EEPROM to old guys like me) is something of a PITA, since there's much about stock Android I rip out by the roots (including Market, BTW, so everything on my tablet is sideloaded), which makes me want to do it once and get to the most stable. So for those of you brave enough to leap into ICS before us, keep posting those reports!
250MB used
I'm on stock ICS AV041_A500_019
I currently am running Icylicious 4.0.3, works awesome. Really a lot faster then before, I was starting to get frustrated with the lag in between pages... but it's better now! Love the rom, nothing's really wrong with it. Fixed dhcp drop as well as a weird problem I was having with my headphone jack when I'd plug my headphones in (had honeyvillain kernel before.) But yeah works great now! No face-unlock that I could find, but didn't really want it anyway.

This update is super awesome B| there are no bugs so far, but A little issue with the flash light in quick settings when turning It on and off some thing wrong happen and oh yes the charging speed is slow (as you said before) but still rocks! I played mc5 for about 2 hours and didn't heat with me
I played some Mortal Kombat X for about 30 minutes, and i have to say that it doesn't heat up as much as KK. The CPU temp was about 45 celsius.
yes i noticed the slow charging and the overheating also...
i think the Icons are big for my taste .
the native keyboard is small
i have an issue that i don't know if anyone else has it, several twitter apps fail to authenticate , the only one i had luck with is Plume
Echofon, Ubersocial, Twidere, & tweetings all couldn't log to twitter.
Anyone tried changing screen resolution in build.prop to 320?
Should make it look like z ultra. I did in kk and jb before, not tried it yet in case of bootloop and I'm nowhere near a pc!

I'm loving the update so far, best firmware I've used on the Z since! Performance is top notch and if this is the last firmware for the Z, I really don't mind.
Stable,but....
We have to slide notification bar 2 times to get through setting.
Icons are bigger compared to previous one.
In recent apps section close all button not attractive, and when we close all the apps,then it'll show 'no recent apps'. If we touch that screen it'll get through the screen. But this doesn't allow to get through, instead we have to click back button.

After 2 days of use, i can say that its the best firmware for our beloved Xperia z. Just 1 issue, changing is slower than kitkat.

I can't say much for heavy use as I haven't had much of a chance to play around with my phone (C6616, flashed with Flashtool) but the standby time is pretty good.
Last night, was at 100% at 11pm and was at 95% this morning at 7am. And that is without Stamina/Greenify/etc!
From what I've read so far about our Lollipop update is that doing a factory reset after getting the OTA update is absolutely essential.
Got my phone on Friday and got it all set up. Noticed on Saturday that my scrolling is stuttering; animations seem to be laggy, and overall the phone feels slightly sluggish.
Any ideas? My Nexus 6 is buttery smooth and that's what I was expecting with this phone too.
My experience in just two days of use is similar. Not nearly as smooth as my N6. Scrolling in Chrome is where I see the most..... jankyness

Just a basic trick is animations under dev option
Speed it up or turn off. Cause I have none of these issues. Are you rooted and using kernel apps. Maybe something you changed. I used kernel auditor and tried powersave but really bogged so went to on demand. No problems underclocked a couple of steps on cpu too.

Nope not rooted. Speeding up animations won't fix the stuttering, especially when scrolling. The phone feels like it's running in battery saving mode all the time. Same apps I have loaded on my Nexus 6.
CPU Spy only sees a max frequency of 1440 for me. Maybe there's an incompatibility issue with the app as I swore this phone was 1.8ghz

I removed it and rebooted but the lag still exists. I'll try a hard reset and see if that fixes it
Scrolling performance for me has been noticeably worse than my ancient Galaxy S3, especially with Chrome, with only a small set of apps installed. No SD card is installed at this time. I'm chalking it up to having no ad blocking yet and the shear number of pixels being pushed but it's still a bummer.

I'm still on the fence, more concerned about my audio issues, but you're absolutely right.. I was expecting a nice upgrade, not a marginally worse Android experience on a larger display.
Oh lolly how much do we love you.. Pure lolly.. But i do love you and hope marshy is better
I got mine in today. I'm super disappointed.. Everything lags..
I have always hated the stock huawei launcher.
Huawei is equipment with kind of bad hardware with and cpu that are not optimized enough.
A lot the performance and lag related problem seem to be solved with Marshmallow since I seen people say how impressed they are how much faster apps are open etc
they really see the difference so it is clear because people see the difference there is a performance problem with mate 7 lollipop is just that people are used to it.
Huawei is trying to mask its performance problems with using slow animations, slow animations makes me very frustrated and make me very unproductive since everything is going so slow, I want fast and smooth animation, I have set in developer options 0.5x on all 3 animation related settings. This solves a lot of things the problem is the hardware is not really designed for these fast animations, when using this settings you will see a lot more easy the performance difference between launcher since the hardware is working more close to its maximum capacity.
God knows when marshmallow will be released I would guess around q4 2016 not earlier honestly.
So what can we do if you are as me a desperate need for a real world performance boost and cant stand the sluggish software performance ?
I can tell you your best chance to get a new phone with new performance is to change launcher.
Please consider my main goal is performance here, if you ask me a lot of launchers have way too much bloat since they are free they must make money some how, the search function
in many good launcher is one example, the search function is filled with so much bloat crap that it slows down the performance , besides this there is many good launcher like c laucnher cheetah launcher launcher line launcher but all have this really bad search function which just make me hate the launcher, please note that the differences in launchers are not in the home screen or app drawer they all have equally well optimized performance here, it is when opening and switching app and also browsing you will sere the best differences
I did earlier a research and tried out many launchers in the end I did end up with Apex laucnher, it did gave me the fastest and smoothest animations , Nova Launcher does really not like Mate 7 please consider I use the 3GB variant, but I found a lot more sluggish performance in web browser a lot more lag when opening and switching app.
Last week I decided to try a lot more launchers a chance, focusing on performance, unfortunately not many laucnhers have the same good folder management as nova/apex/google now but they have a lot bigger folder which is non-ergonomic and one hand usage for a big phone like mate 7 on earlier test I did diss all laucnhers who not have this folder management, but I have now decided to compromise in this regard and be open to try other launchers as well
After trying like 30 launchers I was about to give up, but then I tested this kind of new laucnher called "launcher lab" , i was very postively surprised it works very well with Mate 7, it is a plus that it is kind of mordern looking but I focus mainly on performance and animations, the laucnhers has its own app opening animation which seem to work well with the Mate 7 Gpu.

So to sumurize, Laucnher lab is the best possible upgrade in the wait for Marshmallow, this laucnher is faster then Apex for me less micro lag and will for sure give better and fast animation performance when opening and switching apps, no lag, while you can get fast and smoth animations with other laucnhers I see no micro lag with this one, the biggest difference I see in chrome, chrome is now a lot more fast switching tabs are a lot more smooth and opening REMEMBER THIS IS ALL WHEN HAVING 0.5X ANIMATION SPEED ON ALL 3 ANIMATION SETTINGS IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS SO IF I AM GOING TO RECOMMEND YOU THIS LAUCNHER THIS IS A REQUIREMENT.
You can download it here

I no longer recommend this launcher it become sluggish after some time
I now recommend
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme
it gives superior launcher I am impressed with this one
My setup (on kitkat) is, 0.5 or 0 animations, turn on force GPU in 2D applications (dev options). Smart Launcher Pro, no widgets or animations, run EX Kernel Manager to increase I/O read ahead buffer size and use both CPU's on interactive governor.
The problem is that the phone tries to stay on the low speed CPU too long and makes UI choppy.
Mine is now fast, responsive and smooth, unless the data connection holds it back.
A custom kernel is what the phone needs.

I have never rooted a phone I alawys been little bit scared of it, caues I read some people brick their phone I am also careful of my data on my phone.
Myabe you can convince it is easy and not much risk with it then I consider rooting my device ?
This cpu tweak can probably just as big impact as on the new Marshallow update we all are waiting for
I damaged my OS so had to flash my phone to save it and went to LP and actually found LP ran much smoother than KK without mods even before modding anything in LP. The kernel manager app also works on LP though
I may try MM but so far, LP is nice.
If you start rooting and flashing, double check everything and be careful on which ROMs can flash over what is already there. Also keep a record of what works so you can do it again later if needed, without researching it again. Rooting is worth it. Debloating the OS is great to free up memory space.
Just ran Antutu with my current B331 install. It was always below 50000 on kitkat B130 but LP just gave me a 52900 score. Big jump for just an OS change.
Raised read ahead cache from 256 to 512Kb and scored 53621
Will raise it again and see if it helps.
Got 53717 last test with read ahead cache at 1024kb. Diminishing returns kicking in.
Hello everyone, I'm new to xda, so I'm sorry if I messed anything about this thread up.
I have my European Axon 7 for a few weeks already and, besides a few rather tiny complaints, am generally quite happy with it. Would still be nice if there were any known fixes or at least some assurance that ZTE does know about these:
First, I noticed small artifacts when taking pictures of bright, yellow objects. Artifacts are reproducible but idk if any other colours are affected. (looking a bit like tiny infinite-symbols, pic link:

A fix from ZTE would be quite nice, fortunately it isn't that bad unless one pixel peeps or looks at a pic on his TV screen.
Then, second, if I have the option activated that wifi is to go into standby when the screen is off, it does deconnect, but never reconnects unless I turn it off and on again. Issue has been on the last OS version afaik.
Third, I've had three random reboots so far, Idk if there are any apps known for causing instability on this device, but rn I have no hints as to what might be causing this. (also many apps crash the first time I start them after installing, running just fine afterwards.
Any help and/or advice is highly appreciated.

To me that and the random reboots sounds like you have a device with Bad Memory. If you have NOT rooted your phone and applied any third party tweaking apps such as "L Speed Mod" or "Fly-on Mod". If you have. Then these tools tend to create those random reboots.
I'm running my A2017G with average usage and heavy stress testing since a week without any of those affects.

Oh dang, I hope not, dont wanna have to send it in.
I don't have any such mods applied. Also I have had my phone for maybe a month and only had 3 of these reboots, so idk but maybe a heavy rare bug?

In your case I would run a stress test. Use any of the heavy benchmark apps (Antutu, CPU Benchmark, etc) and run them multiple times.
Don't worry about the score or the phone getting warmer (CPU will be throttled at some point).
But look out for a sudden reboot or crash.
Those are usually caused by bad RAM.

Will Vellamo do? And multiple times as in 5x+?
Sorry for nit picking but can't charge too much today so am trying to preserve as much battery as I can.

It doesn't really matter what benchmark test as anyone of them will go hard on RAM.

Sooo reporting back, I've done 9 runs, 5 browser ones, single core and multi core twice each as well. No crashs, no lags, nothing.
I downloaded an app called Visions of Chaos which does nothing but render Fractals and OpenGl shaders. If anyone could test on his device if e.g. the performance tanking shader "Sample Long Slender Flexible" (among the first 20 OpenGl Shaders) at max resolution(0.5) makes the Axon 7 crash or not that'd be great as I don't know if that's the normal behaviour(mine crashes everytime).
