Recently I had the chance to see a unrooted att note scroll through its home pages with like no lag.....
My note is from att and rooted with mashis method when I scroll through my home pages I notice a little lag not much but its there, on a side note that's the only lag I notice.
My question is can rooting cause the lag I'm seeing. If it can I will definitely go back to unrooted via da g's method.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Simple rooting your Note will not cause home screen lagging.
Actually, since you've rooted it you might consider freezing (ala Titanium backup) some of the AT&T apps and I bet you'll see improvement.
My stock Note does lag slightly moving between TWLauncher screens...in fact I can't even run alternate launchers such as GoLauncher because everyone I've tried eventually started lagging. I believe some AT&T background processes are obviously the culprit.
Exactly. Get rid of some bloatware and you will see the lag disappear, also check out the newest root which fixed my lag.
Which one is the newest root and can I run a root on top of another root

Oh sorry now I know what your PM meant. Check out the thread in the Q and A by the guy looking for the Bell stock ROM, he lists the name of the root he used to get rid of lag and then just google it.
So its ok to run another root on my phone or do I have to go back to stock first.

I've had my vibrant about 3 weeks and its been rooted since the first day i've had it.....but now i notice a lag...particularly sliding between home screens. i've only installed about 5 apps plus the neccesary ones for root (Rom Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup). So far i've only uninstalled and deleted The Sims 3 for TMobile. I've read about lag-fixes but i'm not sure if i need it. Would removing more of the bloatware that came with the phone speed it back up or should i apply a lag-fix....and if so which one is the best? Thanks in advance
Go to the market and search one click lag fix (app) thatz what i used it rooted my phone and applied the lag fix. Look for it on here the dev name is ryanza

Thanks....downloading now....but my phone is already rooted....will this app un root it when I install it?
You running Touch Wiz and many Widgets? I turned off the widgets and or I switched to Launcher Pro and I don't really experience any lag. Honestly I think all those lag fixes are over rated and many have suggested that after a week or so the lag comes back even worse.
No it will not un root your phone. Ryanza's lag fix will really speed things up.
ok....thanks for your input guys....i'll try it out and if it starts to lag again then i'll just remove it....thanks again guys
Hey there, was trying out the multitasking on the phone and am experiencing RAM shortage? 2GB would have been great, but as I had the GSII I know that there is a lot more capability with 1GB..
On my GSII I could run more apps in the background than now. With the GSIII I can only have 3 apps working at the same time?! Everything keeps refreshing.. the browser, the launcher etc. Even the music stops sometimes while multitasking...
Anyone facing the same issue?

I mean you should check the task manager, if you can get more than 4 apps to run?

Apart from the odd occassional main home screen refresh now and again, nothing out of the ordinary for me.
Stock ROM, but running a themed screen and icons with Go Launcher.
Might be worth looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634624
Some useful hints and tips on closing/removing apps. I personally just disabled them, made the mistake of removing some core ones from my GNex and made a right royal mess.
Good luck, let us know how you get on. :good:
Thank you for the useful thread you posted, but I didn't have to remove bloatware on my gsII to multitask? Even though I did remove it after a while it still worked before doing anything. I just can't imagine Samsung will ship a phone, where you have to remove apps to multitask properly?
So you can run more than 4 apps in the task manager?
Sad we in Europe didn't get the choice like in the U.S.between the two versions. As I feel the RAM would have been more future proof..
But putting this aside, I'm really impressed what they have packed into the touchwiz out of the box ! I don't even feel like rooting and flashing, because everything is running just fine.
As I know myself I'll find myself fondling around pretty soon, because Iknow the potential of xda
Just am facing this issue, which is really bugging me atm.

I've got about 10 apps so far showing when I press the task manager button, no signs of lag so far for me.
Memory usage for me is 644Mb out of 779Mb.
Can't think of anything preventing you from opening more than 4 apps on the go.
No that thing you are seeing is the recent apps menu! That is just a chronology of what you opened recently and is no real time multitasking! In that menu you have to press "task-manager". There you'll see the apps which are truly running
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Yeah, I did say I pressed the Task Manager button, maybe I should'be been more clear on what I pressed and where it took me.
Anyways, I've attached a picture to clarify that I had at least 10 apps running.
You didn't tweak around the Developer options have you by any chance? Near the end of the list there is a section that says Limit background processes, mine has Standard limit, if clicked, options include No background processes, 1,2,3,4 processes at most.
If it's not that, then I'm out of ideas.
I don't own the sg3 (plan on buying one soon), but I know that in ICS there is an option in settings under developer options where you can set the number of apps allowed to run in the background.
Worth a shot.
Gold luck.

At least now I know, that something isn't right with my phone... I had checked the developers options before, it was set on standard... I haven't done anything with the phone yet, that's the funny thing :/
I'll check what else I can do when I'M home from work.
I just noticed the issue when I was trying out the chrome and stock browser simultaneously. but the pages were all reloading. Which was not the case on sII.
really weird..
You are still on stock ROM?

I also face this problem of all webpages reloading all the time after switching apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
That happens when your phone runs out of memory, are you sure you're not running too many background apps?
Browsers are huge memory hogs, so it's not really surprising when you run 2 at the same time, but it all depends on the amount of open tabs and the webpages within.
The same "issue" appears on S2 (Stock an CM9) and with somewhat heavier usage on the Note.
no issues at all 1gb is perfect i dont need more
I think I solved it! Have to test it later.
Just removed the battery and inserted it again.. I know.. so trivial and didn't do that before dramatizing here thanks anyway!!!

Just for the record I love the phone but my browser is the only thing running and my home screen has just redrawn
Hey guys I'm back ..
Now I can open more apps simultaneously, but around after a minute everything closes down. They don't stay on they just close after a while..
I don't know what the reason is, but could you check and open a few apps? Then just look after a minute or so if they close down .

Hi guys, new to the EVO side (wife's phone) so I am very unfamiliar with how the EVO 3D runs but I am hoping to get a bit of quick help.
I did the ota update yesterday to a completely stock Rogers EVO 3D and ICS seemed to take just fine and all the features appear to work. The funny part is that whenever you switch between applications, ie; open gmail and than close it to go to the home screen I get the HTC something brilliant screen as if it is rebooting. This happens with anything I try to open or switch between. The screen will flash for a few seconds and return to the home screen.
Anyone else experience this or have any advice? I will read up on unlocking the bootloaders and rooting (I'm use to captivate and galaxy nexus) to be able to get different ROMs on but I was hoping to get a quick answer so the wife doesn't hurt me in my sleep tonight...
Thanks

Something is causing the sense launcher to crash. I had that issue on GB when I had a different launcher installed, even if I was not using it. Maybe an app is causing it or maybe the memory management of the OS is overly aggressive and removing the sense launcher from memory (so it has to reload).

Thanks for that. No other launcher installed but I will at least clear data out of the current one or even try a different. Will also double check memory management to be sure it isn't killing anything it shouldn't be.

try wiping your caches
Its an ics glitch. Nothing you can do that I've heard of.

Definitely sounds like a glitch. Tried all the suggestions but nothing worked. Just added Nova launcher to get around the sense issue. Wife hates ICS though and wants the old ROM back on. Can't win for trying.
Thanks for the tips guys.

I didn't even bother with Kies. I was rooted and was pretty sure that Kies would not work until returning to stock.
went into the development section and to the Odin stock JB thread. someone had posted video on youtube and I watched it once.
got all necessary downloads and went through step by step. it seemed as if it hung at blue and white att ball, but left it plugged into Odin until it fully booted. out of the blue "YATZEE".
always a good idea, go slow and follow directions to the tee.
I always get nervous in the service, but this was pretty easy.

Pop-up note works for me, just hold down the S-Pen's button as you double tap the screen.
Despite what nearly every news outlet claims, multiview isn't in this release. Although according to Samsung's press release, the floating window support for videos and the browser made it in. I've gotten the floating video to work, but I can't figure out how to get the browser to float. I don't see an option for that anywhere.
The only other thing that isn't working for me is Samsung's stock image gallery. It crashes the phone, even after wiping EVERYTHING, and doing a re-flash. While I would have liked to at least test it, I just deleted it and I'm using QuickPic as a replacement.

Kinda a lot. I've deleted over 200 MB of bloat from /system and most things are pretty laggy. Where's Project Butter?! Other than the stability, it doesn't feel any faster or better than the existing AOSP JB releases to me. But strangely, some things like window animations and menus fading out are incredibly smooth. But as soon as I put my finger on the display, everything gets laggy.
But at least my GPS works properly. :| It didn't in any ICS ROM, including stock.
The new jellybean update from AT&T does not lag for me. People say it does but first, flash rom, factory reset, root, remove bloat, download setcpu, min 192 max 1.5. Does not lag one bit for me. :silly::silly:
Same experience as ^^^^. Remember friends, freeze a bloatware app, then use your phone for a while, and if there's no problems, delete.
Some apps you might be tempted to delete can bork your system. Proceed with care.
Sorry for my stupid question. Could you teal with apps did you freeze? I dont want stop something that might brick my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I froze every at&t app and google stuff I don't use like search and place. Don't mess with email and messaging.
If you're going to experiment, do you know how to make a nandroid backup? Its your insurance policy.
And you won't ever brick doing this. The worst thing is your phone will give error messages and won't function.
Just restore your nandroid.

Jellybean upgrade - or not??
Maybe I jumped the gun upgrading to stock Jellybean because I miss the following features
1) Three day calendar - maybe I messed something up but I don't see a way to get it back. Currently using weekly list view but its not the same. Also the "Today" widget only shows today the ICS one would show about 24 hours of items so usually would show what is going on tomorrow as well.
2) I am having S-pen issues. I have a collection of different Stylus pens and I have been using one from Samsung Electronics Slate PC because it had a nice size, shape, and an ERASER. The eraser no longer works in S-note. Also one of my favorite time wasters, Cubistry, the spen no longer registers (stock or Slate).
3) I'm getting old and fine print is getting harder to see. On the ICS Swipe keyboard, the long press characters were almost the same size as the regular characters. I'll have to look for another keyboard.
Full blown multi-veiw was also not included but I don't know if I would use it much.
We did get Google Now which I don't use that much & Polaris Office 4.0 that I use alot - the new office can edit text files (ICS could view them but not save text files).
Lol jumped the gun..
It's software if you don't like it just go back abs wait for custom Roms built on this firmware

I tried that and got pop up note, which is pretty cool, but in my first few attempts, I got several screen captures, but I also got a list of apps across the bottom of my screen. I don't know how I got it or what it was and have been unable to duplicate it. Anyone have any ideas about what it was?
Hello XDA Community, I have come to turn to you looking for a little bit of light to bed shed on my first forray into real mobile technology and learning to root.
I recently was ably to root my Note 3 (n900a - mj5) with Kingo, and it was incredibly easy! I have this community to thank for helping me find that information. After doing a basic root ( no flashing or anything) I went ahead and started to remove all of the bloatware on my device. I followed some basic guides and the spreadsheet for Bloatware that is floating around, and I can also reverse any particular uninstall if I need to. Everything seems to function fine, but what I have noticed since rooting my phone (which I basically did right away, so I have no real comparison as to how it should function normally) was that I often get a notification "Unfortunately, X program has stopped working" with various programs. It initially started while I was doing the first uninstalls with Advanced Uninstall Expert. I would queue up a number of programs to uninstall, and after a couple would go it would inevitably give me the aforementioned notification. It doesn't cause many serious problems, but it is certainly disconcerting on a new device to see it so much.
So to my main question, does this seem like something I may have caused with maybe a small uninstall of a system program (even though it happened before I had uninstalled more than a couple of simple obvious apps) or is this maybe an instability with the phone / OS? Should I unroot and factory reset, then use it normally to see if this still persists? I just picked the phone up on Friday and so I am within my 14 day period, and I still have 0x0 so I could do that if this seems like a problem with the device. I am just very inexperienced in regards to this field and want to reference any other sources I can.
Thank you in advance for any insight you can offer regarding this problem, I look forward to seeing any responses you have for me.
Sounds like you are just freezing apps and not deleting them? How are you going about freezing them? Is it Knox security warnings by chance? Did install recovery and make a backup? I would unfreeze all apps if you have in fact just been freezing them so you are stock other than root and try it out for a day. If it's still happening you may need to Odin back to stock and see if that helps.

The only weird thing is I seem to be running about a constant. .9 gigs in my ram when only swift key is running even after clearing my ram so I'm trying to figure out what that's all about. Anyways I will most likely Odin to stock and take a slower approach to trying things out. Thank you once again for the information.

Nothing wrong with .9 gigs ram. On odex blue I usually sit around 1.4 to 1.6 gigs. Not sure what your looking to get out of it but your not going to see better running touch wiz. There are a few debloated roms you may want to try rather than trying to accomplish it yourself.

I have 2 Note 3's in our household rooted with Kingo and they don't have such problems. Sounds to me like you've frozen or uninstalled some programs that are causing the unstableness. I've been too enthusiastic before in the past freezing and deleting bloatware & other system apps and experienced similar issues as yours.
These days, I keep the freezing and deleting to a minimum.
