Hello,
Just got my rezound but am very dissapointed with scrolling. Browser seems so chop. Are there any fixes for this. Maybe a Rom?

I have yet to use a ROM/Android device that has iOS like buttery smooth scrolling. There are so many different hardware/software combinations out there in the Android world its hard to make each device as smooth as the end user wants it to be. That's where Apple has it right, they make the software AND hardware, its much easier to develop software for one type of hardware spec. I have yet to use an ICS phone for longer than just a minute or so, but it looks like Google is making a big leap forward into providing iOS like smoothness to the Android loving masses. I hate to compare everything to iOS but when it comes to smoothness of navigation it takes the cake. WP7 is surprisingly smooth too I was shocked haha.
You're probably going to have to wait until ICS for the browser to be really smooth (GPU acceleration).
Or you could use Opera browser that's pretty damn smooth. I can fling through high res photos desktop mode w/o any lag. That was on stock.. I'm on a custom rom w/ the inc kernel and the UI is pretty damn smooth. Even the notifcation lag while scrolling is very minimal.
Which rom are you on?

wish I knew where that huge article was, explaining how iPhones don't truly multi task and how the reason its scrolling is do smooth is because the second your finger touches the screen, every other process halts in favor of the ui, whereas on android, things in the background keep working like a real computer would.

I remember noticing that on my old iPod touch. I'd click a link and scroll with my thumb on the screen and it would never load until I lifted my finger off of the screen lol.

^this. But Android can do better, and it's being worked on with ICS.

This is what I figured, all resources are given to interface which honestly IMO is probably the best method out right now for making these phones appear smooth since to me a smooth UI experience is more important than some background processing while I'm scrolling/clicking. What is the average user gonna notice a smooth interface or that an app stops processing events (except interface) briefly?

I was having the same issues with the lag. I think it's more of a Sense problem than anything else. ICS might fix it, but Sense 4.0 probably won't let it. I installed the CleanRom 1.5 a couple of days ago and have been lag free ever since.

Haven't had a problem with my Rezound, especially when scrolling or multitasking even when there is flash content. Only lag is the 1 millisecond delay when bring up the app tray.

Nah, not necessary, but not really smooth either. It's pretty disappointing to be on ICS with a dual core CPU and still have a stuttering browser.
I'm on GB inef 1.4 and scrolling is only smooth in a couple of apps, but Facebook is choppy, tapatalk is choppy but I think that's the application cuz it only chops for a sec over links and stuff. All of the zynga games are incredibly laggy. Contacts and messaging scrolling is choppy. App drawer is laggy. Is it just sense? Or is it that the GPU isn't good enough or something?
I think HTC should use some kind of motion blur if they can't make a phone (with specs like this one) that doesn't lag.

My scrolling is buttery smooth in every app I use. I also use Dolphin browser.
I use dolphin hd. It's almost never smooth unless there isn't much on the page. If there are pictures it thumbnails it's choppy... The motion is smooth but everything chops when it's moving

Hey guys,
Downloaded temple run today, was so pumped until I played it and realized that touch swiping wasnt accurate (i'd swipe left and would just continue and fall ij water) and the game was a little choppy. Running Turl's v9 CM9, btw. Any of you guys experience similar issues?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yup. Its a touch issue with the CM9 ROMs.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I'm on stock Gingerbread and rooted. Temple Run plays flawlessly on my Atrix. No lagging at all. Control is also better/more accurate on my Atrix than on my Kindle Fire, HTC EVO View 4G tablet, or my mother-in-law's HTC phone (Incredible?). Haven't tried it yet on my wife's iPhone 4 or iPad 2 though. But on Android, I'm very happy with how it runs on my Atrix. Now, if I could just get past 50,000 points
I'm on cm7 and it runs perfectly with no issues. I've been playing it all day non stop.
i felt a little not smooth as i run it on ios devices.btw,i'm running stock gb rom.
so from what i'm reading here, I guess it's safe to assume that it's an issue with cm9 drivers.
well this sucks because I love Temple Run, but dont think i will b going back to GB for temple run....

As far as I could understand, the bug with CM9 is not only for the Atrix, but for all the devices that are running an ICS version, it has something to do with drivers or some other lie...
no problems on my jokersax cm9 atrix.
EDIT:
actually. yeah. it has problems with touch. doesn't ever go the right way.
Exactly the same problem on miui ics rom as well

No problem with 2.3.4 stock Rom.

From a video I saw on a review of temple run, the guy played it on a galaxy nexus and it lagged and crashed, so I guess its not optimized for the ICS framework which is weird

The game works perfectly fine for 95% of the time but there are times when it slows down significantly for example when there are a lot of objects to render at the same time.
Yeah I'm on MIUI v4 ICS based on CM9 and my swipes always go the wrong way. So bummed but I'll never leave MIUI. Gonna subscribe to this thread in hopes that any fixes or updates will be posted here.

Its performance is rom specific and does not function correctly on cm9 roms or the miui roms built off of it I guess so until those roms get there libs and drivers straight certain games are a no go

Yep, I'm experiencing overall system lag and frequent app closings.
I installed ICS as well as the paid version of Nova Launcher. I love it so far, but have not re-installed any of my apps yet. Super smooth for me, no complaints whatsoever. Though the premium suite is not yet included, I'm glad to see all of the SPen functionality from the GB version is still there.

Does MeanRom solve the multitasking issues?
I'm also wondering how it affects battery life, my battery life on stock is pretty great already.
Thanks.
I've noticed multitasking is much improved in v3.0.

Get CM10 for fixed multitasking. All Sense ROMs have the multitasking issue.

Mine miltitasks ok but there is this issue of the browser reloading pages when you go back to it. Which can be a problem if you were writing something, or filling out a form, for example. In that case when you go back to the browser you have to start over. Not good.

CM10 just moments ago fixed video, so nothing major is broken anymore. I think the video is only standard def right now, but I bet HD video is coming within a few days. That was really the last thing needing major fixing honestly. I can't link you to CM10 unfortunately. Go to CM9 thread and look at page 149.

As stated, Mean Rom multitasking is not fixed just came off of 3.0 . Always read the OP's it will b stated in the change log.

Well the release notes include the following statement: "Multitasking improvements to reduce background task killing," thus the question.
Good call. It is not fixed though, only slightly improved. Your browser pages will absolutely still reload, so forms partially completed will be gone.

Thanks Dan, so is the page reloading issue solved in CM10?
Absolutely perfect in CM10, or any AOSP ROM (to my knowledge). That's the way it was designed to work - HTC are the ones who went and screwed it all up.

Dude... SwiftKey 3 is the greatest keyboard in existence. Bar none. Get the free trial and you'll never go back.
I can type like every letter of a word wrong and it still correctly guesses my word. The algorithms it uses are incredible. Plus, you can swipe back across the keyboard to delete words! Awesome feature.
Thank me later. Go enjoy.

I've decided that i've had enough of the problems/bugs with ICS and JB. The last time my phone worked great was when it was running GB. So what's the best one to get other than stock T-mobile?
Try them and see for yourself what works best for you.

With every ICS ROM I tried I had poor cell reception and awful battery life, even the stock T-Mobile one. JB is great but it doesnt work well for making phone calls and the lack of Flash is brutal. I've already searched for GB ROM's but it seems that the consensus is they're all bad and the good ones (Bulletproof, NRGY) arent available for download anymore.

I believe that one can use Flash on JB, it just has to be downloaded from the website (it is not available in the Play store).
My sister in law recently got an S3, and we had to go to the site to get flash.

Yeah I had to get an apk from the site for 4.0.4 ICS on my gs3 as well... Along with jb...
And I get the complaints about ICS on the amaze. I ran GB and ICS on my amaze and the cell reception and battery life are both significantly worse on ICS than GB. Same for jb compared to ICS on the S3. I liked sense 3.5 GB most on the amaze... But that was just my personal take

Lol no porn. I cant watch any Youtube videos unless its within the Youtube app which is incredibly buggy and doesnt work half the time. When I click play on an embedded Youtube video it goes straight to the end and will not play. Oddly enough other video sites will often work if they dont use Flash like Vimeo.
Maybe I need another coffee before modding. Normally we close "best ROM" threads before they cause fights. Maybe you could change the name to "where can I find a GB ROM?"

Well, It's funny as I wanted to post the same. I tied pretty much every ROM here, ICS and JB. The worst offenders for me was BT on JB, even cm10 is no go. The other issue is the signals for both ics and JB alike. One time is three bars and then no service. Even someone with same service provider can still make calls standing beside me but I couldn't. Then in low signal areas, my phone would burn a hole in my pocket and battery would be dead in couple hours.
GB is pretty consistent in signals and no heating issues. Bt works fine too, so I am back with trusty old no frills GB. At least it works......

After encountering even more bugs with the latest version of CM10 I finally broke down and installed QuickSense 3.0 which takes it all the way back to Android 2.3.4, but you know what? EVERYTHING works. The interface may not be a slick looking as ICS or JB but it really isnt much slower in comparison. For anyone else who is frustrated and just wants a working phone, try this ROM out.
I dont know if i'm allowed to post a link to it or not but you can find it easy enough by googling it.
I downloaded a bunch including the original ics rooted and deodexed by hasoon. But before going back stock tried speed Rom 1.4 and is been working fine. There is also Kumars 0.4 but haven't tried yet. I am good till we get a bug free cm.
