I rooted and all but I am wondering what programs are slowing down my note the most.

Hey guys!
Ok so I am going to be on a concession line soon with best buy mobile and im torn between the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S3. As far as I can tell, the only SIGNIFICANT difference is the stock touchwiz version. Now I know the processor is a bit beefier than than the Note as well as other things, but im talking BIG differences. Anywho, Ive looked around and it seems possible to run touchwiz 5.0 on a Galaxy note, which would make things a bit easier. My only concern is fluidity. I want this phone to run damn close, if not completely fluid. So what do you guys think? Get an S3 and save the trouble of go with the Note and flash TW5 which is where my first instinct was?
To be honest, with the lte version of the s3 only difference there is, would be that the s3 has 1gb more ram and tw5. The processor speed is the same on the note once you root it which would be 1.5 ghz.

Pretty sure stock the processor runs at 1.5 Ghz. To be honest I just convinced my friend to grab the SG3 and I have to say I love it. I would highly recommend that phone and you would probably have quicker access to an official jellybean update

I thought the Note was LTE as well, or is it just "Faux"G
Note is definitely lte. Also, though the note and sgs3 are both 1.5 GHz dual core, the note has the s3 snapdragon, while the sgs3 has the s4.

I have both... I wouldn't worry too much about the Rom and cpu too much..if u like bigger screen and spen functions get the note. if u just want a phone get the s3. . Anything that s3 has you can easily get it into the note anyway (rooted note). . The only thing note doesn't have is screen stay on.. I have to say after u have a big screen phone. U will not wanna going back to smaller screen..

I work at geek squad and just got on the concession line was well. Galaxy S3 became available yesterday. Ordered a white 32 GB one. Go with the Galaxy s3
Concession...
@fenderbass146... Wait we can get one as a Geek Squad agent? Please enlighten me...
I have the GS1 and im maybe getting the GS2 for almost free. I don't know why or how i want the S2 more than S3 i mean they both look good but to be honest S2 looks better. both 1 GB Ram and not so much change on the camera either. Quad core is not so very necessary (yet).
What do you think?

I have a i9100G and i'm more than good with it, even doesn't having the Exynos processor this phone is fast as hell! I tried a S3 and is true that is better but in few things
The S3 is better, but I see what you mean. Maybe invest in an expanded battery (Samsung do a nice one for £20), or alternatively hold off your upgrade until you can get a 4G phone (varies depending where you live; in the UK this is only a wait of a few months so I'm holding off).

If you can afford Siii, just go for it, you will have updates faster, and also better future support.
It's sure minute powerful and functional than s2.
Coming from original galaxy S, Siii is the best upgrade for you.
For us, owners of galaxy SII, galaxy S4 (or whatever they call it), or NOTE II will be the best upgrade for us.

What about the screen? S3 has 4.8" screen and S2 only 4.3"

I agree that the S2 looks better than the S3. It being squarer makes it look more sophisticated. Personally, I think the size of the S3 is too big, so I chose to get a second hand S2 a few weeks ago. I have no regrets, and it's a lot faster than my Nexus S.

I completely agree with you. If you just had your S2, it's too soon for you to upgrade to S3.. it's not worth it

Whenever i update apps in playstore, it slows down the whole phone.
anyone getting that? happened to my Galaxy Nexus aswell
Is that a problem?
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Mega
Yea I have 2 galaxy megas and both do the same thing, but I don't think it's an issue.... especially since my note ii does it also.
Same here. It's not a phone issue afaik. I because its installing the app and it uses a lot of resources I believe.
My galaxy note 2 uses alot of ram and I don't know why it's running 4.3 alliance rom via safe strap and constantly with no apps opened (rebooting the phone) and clicking clear memory I am running at 1.69/1.79GB Of ram. It's taking me a while to even post this thread because my phone is being so laggy does anyone know what can cause this problem? Or how I can fix it? I can't even text my girlfriend without the phone freezing and me having to pull out the battery. I am really considering getting the cash for the galaxy note 4 and buying it as soon as possible. Unless I can fix this phone and save me 700 dollars. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I'm thinking about upgrading, having been on the Note 2 for 3 years. I'm running Alliance Rom 32 (4.4.2) and it runs well so maybe I should just keep it. I would get the Note 4 but I use root for Viper4Android, Adfree and to be able to turn off/remove background "bloat" apps. Maybe the Note 4 is fast enough to overcome the lag background apps can cause?
I'm on a VZW family plan so tethering isn't an issue.
I use the Pen once in a while for note taking but could live without it.
What are rooted Galaxy Note 2 users moving to?
Thanks,
I've been on a rooted Note 2 for 3 years also. I'm stuck since I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan. For me it's all about the camera. I use my phone to document my kids growing up. That being said the best camera on an Android device right now is in the galaxy S6 but the lack of removable battery and storage kinda blows so I would probably get the Note 4 at this point even though I'm kinda over the phablet thing. A buddy at work has the Note 4 edge and that thing is nice. Also you may want to consider the next iPhone. I hate to say it but everything is designed to work with it.

@Dugall12 - thanks for your thoughts. You post confirms my suspicion that perhaps my Note 2 running Alliance ROM 32 is about as good as it gets right now. Like you I've considered a 5 inch screen phone. We have an extra Galaxy S4. I just rooted it to stang5litre debloated Lollipop 5.01 OC1. I used it for a few days and thought performance and battery power were quite good. I then gave it to my college age son to try and he says its overheating. I think he's running some third party app that causing the issue. Another option is we have an available VZW upgrade and could get an S5 for $50 through Amazon.
I can't believe Samsung turned the next Galaxy S into an iPhone clone. I have done a few screen repairs for friends iPhone 6's and had the opportunity to use those phones for a few hours just to see what they're like. I'm not impressed. I find an Android running Nova Prime to be more intuitive and easy to use. I don't get the attraction of a sleek and beautiful phone - they need to be in a bumper case - at that point they all look the same. For those who want to argue that - every screen repair I do is for phones used without a case.
