Hi, I have an AT&T atrix running the CherryPi ROM with stock kernel and I have been overall very happy with it aside from two kinks.
1. Boot time is very long (over a minute and half) despite having bloatware frozen and startup apps cut to a minimum.
2. I can't receive MMS messages at all.Never mind.
I'm not all that concerned with MMS, but I've been considering installing Faux's kernel in hopes of a performance boost. I don't really want to overclock, though. I fixed this with some APN changing... Still ridiculous that I went months without MMS though.
Could my ROM be at the root of my problems?
If not, what kind of a performance gain would I be able to get with the optimized 1ghz kernel?
Would I have to wipe any data to install a different kernel? I answered this one myself.
Thanks.
Edit: I installed the kernel (wiped cache and dalvik cache) and further cleaned on bloatware, still taking over a minute to boot.
All this points me to a new/final question. Would CM7 yield a significant performance boost (say, boot times under 1 minute) without overclocking? It did absolutely. I installed CM7 and Faux's stopgap 1ghz kernel (which did say something about EXT4), my phone now boots in 20 seconds. That's over a minute of improvement from what I originally had. Topic can be closed/marked as solved.
Format your Rom to ext4 and it will increase speed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282691
Thanks for the information!
I'm downloading the fingerprint scanner enabled CM7 and doing a fresh install of everything. Would this script have any wonky side effects? I am a noob to android, but not to partitioning and filesystems. I've never seen a conversion go well that wasn't FAT16 to NTFS....
Edit: Installed CM7. It's so fast, it has so many features that I have been wanting. Wow is all I can say lol.
Id like to know what I can do about this on my stock gb only rooted atrix. I don't want to unlock my bootloader or use any custom roms. My startup time is about 4 1/2 to 5 minutes from time I press power button to time everything is loaded. I have not uninstalled any bloat but have frozen all social apps and authenticators and live wallpapers. Any ideas?

In order to make it Ext 4 you have to have bootloader unloked and rooted.firat install the rom or if you already have its ok too.flash faux 123 kernels(any of them you want)
Go to cwm(it better to use RomRacers latest) and wipe cache and dalvik.
Do a nandroid backup for good measure.
Once this is done you install the ext4 script zip and that's it.
Reboot and check it out.if you get FCs then uninstall the apps that are force closing and go to cwm and fix permissions,then reinstall apps.
this makes your phone realky nice and fast,honestly I didn't have any apps force closing you have to follow the directions in the thread.
You will see your nandroid backup was ext3 and now you're ext4
If you decide later on to wipe dalvik or chache it might revert it back to ext3 if so just simply run the scrip zip again hope it helped
There is a root app called Autostarts that I think you will find useful.

Optimize Toolbox works great also. Just that in the latest version the language is not English anymore, (should get updated sometime to fix this). Lucky I remember what all the icons do and can use it blind! Finding an older version of this app in English will work.
The most current "lite" version is in English. It doesn't have the auto optimizer, but you can still manage autostart apps and log boot times.
(I'm thrilled, by the way, CM7 is booting in 19 seconds with all of my old apps restored. This is like having a brand new phone. We can mark this as solved on my part.)

I can understand that for sure. It does do exactly what it says and works great on the Atrix. But like was pointed out above there are other apps that do the job and potentially w/o the price tag, I just haven't used them and so I can't speak on them. I would try to get the English version of the app that was mentioned and see if that works first (if it's a free app?..)

I have Autostarts also, and it does in fact work as stated. I have just come to like Optimize Toolbox instead, and yes, it's free.
The biggest reason I never gave OT a try is cause there are 4 dif versions of it in the market and also because the cover art used to be not in English, and now that I know the app itself isn't in English either I'm even more turned off of it. However I know it is a popular app cause it was requested for the root apps list and I added it. I guess I'm just too ethnocentric to get past the whole developed in a dif language thing..
So, i'm running Eclipse 2.0 on my DX2 right now, and i flashed it after trying CM7. CM7 was great, but felt sluggish at times (admittedly I don't believe that I had the "allow purging of assets" enabled at the time either). So after flashing the brand new Eclipse 2.0, I felt like Eclipse was so much more complete, even though it is blur-based. Now, however, after about 3 weeks it's getting sluggish at random times for no reason. There's no apparently eating up the CPU. I always have 80+ MBs of RAM (I'm running Supercharger V6 with the middle (unleaded?) option for 512mb devices selected). I can't seem to pinpoint the problem. So here's where I pose 2 questions:
Eclipse or CM7DX2 (and your reasoning, if you can)
And any ideas on the sluggish performance? I've had this happen on previous ROMs too (older Eclipse models and stock gingerbread w/ bloat removed). I always SBF and wipe data/cache before each fresh ROM install.
Thanks!

Wow, I'm really surprised to hear Eclipse is running sluggishly. I've been running it for a while now and it's completely reliable, the epitome of a "daily driver". Are you running any funky apps or getting apps from fringe markets?
I've found either one can get sluggish, especially if you have a ton of apps loaded.
What I've been doing now is rebooting daily. I'm also running Fast Reboot Pro, which is really more of a "soft" reboot - it doesn't really reboot the phone, per se, but instead it "simulates" a reboot by stopping many services and programs that wouldn't be running at start up.
I myself have a lot of apps installed. I should probably go and remove them, but for some reason, I like to have them loaded (mainly games) just in case I want to play them. OCD anyone?
In any case, I was running CM7 and I'm now running Eclipse 2.1. I've found that I've had the problems in either one which required a reboot. I just switched to Eclipse 2.1 because I found it a wee-bit more stable (no Superuser issues like in CM7) and Eclipse 2.1 has a even more Motoblur crap removed. It's just as responsive as CM7 IMHO.
But, in any case, a daily reboot will fix things and I'm hearing from many that this is almost global across the board with any ROM for the DX2. I think what really hurts the DX2 is the 512mb of main memory. Just pitiful compared to other phones out there.
I've also found running V6 Turbocharger scripts (the latest) helps as well. I've enabled options 6 and 20. Now, this is fine for Eclipse, but you don't want to run it with CM7. At least, that's what I've been told.
Anyways, when I find things get sluggish, I run the Fast Reboot Pro AND, since I'm running Go Launcher EX, I'll got into the "Running Programs" tab in the app drawer and close all the apps in there as well.
If that doesn't help, I then run V6 TC and run option 18 (which recoups RAM and kills lag). If that doesn't help, then I will reboot.
I also forgot to mention, I also use an application called Autostarts. It allows you to choose which apps start up based on a system event (during startup, after startup, USB connection/disconnect, WiFi status change, etc). I've found that a LOT of apps that I've installed start up on some various events. Many games apparently like to connect when they sense there is a data connection present, so I've turned those off. I only want the apps running when I actually launch them. With Autostarts, I have been able to finely control what apps start and when, which has helped as well.
go into BSR and wipe cache and dalvik cache
lemme know if that clears up Ya,lag
it worked for someone else and I've used that method before to clear up lagging issues...

I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement, they are nearly equals in every respect except for SU and most of the time it depends on the user. You will have your own opinions of what you like and dislike in a ROM.
I have always liked Cyanogenmod and I have nothing against Eclipse, it was something that really saved the X2 for me, I was super POed when I found that there was so little to be done with my phone last August when I upgraded to it.
IMHO I would stick with Eclipse just because it is more stable, Cyanogen was a great release from the norm of Moto based ROMS but it is missing a few things since we cannot build it specifically for our phone as easily as everyone else.
Personally though, I hate you guys for being able to flash things right now and I really, really cannot wait for this F-ing soak to come through so I can either join you on 2.1 or have a really fancy paper weight.....
I've been running Eclipse for months, 2.1 for a few weeks now, best version yet. I run it with the build prop mash up, its always fast and responsive. However there are a couple things I do to help ensure that.
1. I schedule "Clear cache for user & system apps" in TB to run daily at 4:30 AM while I'm sleeping which is 30 minutes after my daily backup runs. After the cache clean it reboots. When I get up at 5:30 its usually quick and responsive all day.
2. Use the Moto performance manager built into Eclipse parts, schedule things that you don't want or need running in the background to auto-end (kills the app 2 minutes after the screen shuts off) This really helps with battery life as well, I can usually get 20+ hours of light/moderate use and it helps manage those apps that like to turn themselves on in the background.
3. I use Avast for security, but I also use the firewall feature to restrict network access of games & apps that don't need it.
4. I keep any apps/games I don't use regularly uninstalled, which I can quickly restore from TB if I need them. That seems to really help to as my wife had every free app of the day from amazon installed on hers and it was constantly locking/freezing. she cleaned most of them up and did the auto-end trick and hers has come back to life.
These are just suggestions but I've been using them for months now and they really work well to maximize the X2 as much as we can given the restrictions we have on it. Goodluck.

iBolski, the similarities between yours and my "phone management" techniques scare me lol.
pretty much everything you have said I do as well, including leaving games installed just in case I wanna play one day lmao
I just wanted to add to the point you made about rebooting once every day, this is something that it's not only recommended for the Dx2 but for ALL, Android powered phones in general, I do believe it is also written in the "manual", that comes with the devices, kinda like how a PC needs a reboot once in a while, Android benefits from a reboot once a day as well, allows it to drop system caches that have built up and are hanging around and such,
that fast reboot app I have also used in the past, but nothing compares to an, accrual power cycle of the device, I will even go ahead and wipe cache from Android recovery as well once every couple days,
our set UPS are most likely extremely similar and I've found I get pretty damn near the most I can get out of this x2, I feel like the only thing else I could benefit from is a new kernel, as I've pretty much tweaked this thing to the max I can get while locked down

I think we're so similar due to the fact that I've seen you tell people to do this, so I'm just following your instructions. Scary, huh?
Also, Orange Terror gave a great tip that I didn't even know existed in Titanium Backup Pr. Goes to show you can always learn something new since I've used TBU for about two years now. I've gone in and set up a schedule to clear user and app cache and reboot the system every day around 4 am. At 3 am, I have it backup and upload to my Box account. Now I don't have to worry about doing that myself or missing a backup.
But I think the big thing that has helped me out now is also the Autostarts app. Going through and having it ensure certain apps don't launch under various scenarios has definitely caused my phone to be MUCH more responsive now.
Like you, it's allowed this crap X2 to actually be functional, along with Eclipse 2.1 and/or CM7. With DZK and Nitro, I'm not sure where this phone would be. Probably thrown against the wall and shattered into a million pieces!

Amen to that. Thanks to Nitro, DZK and anyone that has contributed something.
I've been trying to start synching to box through TBU recently, but I can't schedule it to run automatically and when I try to run it manually after an hour its at like 20%, and I'm doing it on wifi. And it won't upload to my dropbox account at all, just sits there. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the responses guys! It's great to see some insight as to what everybody does on their daily schedule.
1. Yes, i do know there is 2.1, I just haven't had the time/availability to upgrade (until tonight, so i'll probably be doing that).
2. I'm admittedly bad at keeping a LOT of apps installed feeling like i'll need to use them, probably would be better off if i just kept them either frozen or only kept a backup.
3. As with you, iBolski, i've been running option 6 in V6 and that definitely helps a lot.
4. I'll have to try the nightly cache clearing, i usually just manually do it when i feel the phone is laggy.
Also, what launchers do you guys use? Just outta curiosity. I personally use LauncherProPlus. Yeah, the development is dead, but I've been using it since my OG Droid days, and it's served me excellently ever since. I don't need beauty in a launcher, just raw speed and a small footprint.
Thanks again!

just a tip for when you update to 2.1
you really shouldn't need to wipe data, I haven't wiped data once when updating from 2.0> 2.xand I have had zero issues,
also, nitro has added a couple features/options to the stock eclipse launcher which are nice, u can choose amount of home screens, infinite loop, uninstall app when u long press then hold it over the trash can for a second (pretty useful, no more needing To go into manage apps to uninstall apps)
if ya wanna venture from that I recommend adw ex or go launcher ex(nitro has an eclipse theme in the market for go launcher in case ya wanna support him (it's like a buck) and wanna keep an eclipse theme with a different launcher that has more options)
either that or just do a quick market search or Google search for "light weight launcher" to get some nice options, there's an almost endless list of launchers to try, I've spent hours trying different launchers and still haven't touched half of them lol, there is so many choices it's crazy, there is something for every type of user, from minimalistic launcher to fancy ones like spb shell and such

I'm using Go Launcher EX myself. Have been since I ran an LG Vortex (now THAT was a SLOW phone but man, as far as music goes, it never skipped unlike the X2. Sad since it's an ARM6 600mhz single-core phone AND it had an unlocked bootloader so I could overclock the thing!).
For launchers I started with pro launcher. Then ended up with go launcher for a while. Now I am using adw ex. However I really like the new work nitro did with pro launcher. I would of stayed on it except for the 3D app drawer. Don't get me wrong it looks awesome and I used to use similar app drawer with the shell launcher but it triggers my vertigo.

I also use ADW EX, it has been the most consistently bug free for me depending on the settings you use it can be lightning fast or just as bad as a stock launcher, but generally it is much faster than the stock ones and it is more user friendly.
Love all the insight here. I was running cm7 for a while but now on eclipse 2.1 and I haven't wanted to go back to cm7 yet. I also usually use adw ex but have been sticking with stock launcher. This go around. I reboot my phone at least once a day. I haven't tried any scripts yet but I haven't felt the need to iether. I try too keep as few apps running as possible. I also found that after I get done charging my phone I will reboot. Seems to give me more free ram. 185mb right now.

CM7 rocks. Once CM9 becomes stable and a beta it will most likely be the best ROM on the X2.

I must say, after upgrading to 2.1, uninstalling 34 apps (mostly large games) that i seemingly never used, and installing the build.prop mash up, i haven't had any issues yet so far! 2.1 seems to be quite the upgrade from 2.0. Thanks to everybody who posted their experience/ideas!
I started experiencing even more lag lately and it would immediately show up even after reboot. This started happening after I set up TBU to do a nightly cache clean and reboot.
What I finally figured out was, V6 Turbocharger scripts mem settings were not sticking! They were reverting back to the default for whatever reason. It was funny because the Lag Nullifier was still active.
So, I unturbocharged and everything via the scripts and set it back up to use local.prop and that seemed to fix everything.
Another thing I did was install Autostarts to tell it what apps should NOT start when certain system events occur (during startup, after startup, media change, etc).
I also used the Motorola Performance Manager to set up most apps to be killed two minutes after the phone goes to sleep.
I reinstalled Widgetlocker and things have been running smooth all day where as before, after playing many games (like Templerun, Fruit Ninja, Sims Free to Play, etc), I would notice lag would seep in and would require a reboot to fix it.
Now, with my set up (TBU clears cache and reboots nightly, Autostarts, Motorola Performance Manager, V6 TC), things are running smooth, smoother than they have before.
Okay so I took the plunge and installed my first ROM (ICS Collective Base4) among other things with my SGH-I717M (Bell). Everything went very well and here are the issues that despite reading over 500 pages in threads related to these issues, I have not been able to solve them (workarounds, sure). I'm hoping that others can confirm these glitches and whether or not they have been able to remedy them:
-Upon boot, "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Annoying, but doesn't seem to affect anything. No workaround or solution.
-Baseband "unknown". Tried ODIN flash install AND coming from completely stock phone via CWM flash, neither has remedied this problem. Doesn't seem to affect anything so don't really care.
-Stock calendar application missing - really don't like some of the other calendars, but I can't seem to find the APK file in any other ICS ROM's out there, so I gave up on this. So workaround, no solution.
-Time zone wrong. Workaround is to deselect automatic network management and select the correct timezone. Reverts back to incorrect upon rebooting so apparently only a workaround and no solution.
-Upon booting setCPU max/min speeds are incorrect and you have to open the application for it to correct the speeds. Perhaps it's just the widget that's broken, but for now it's a workaround and I can't seem to figure out a solution. Quandrant benchmarks seem to indicate that if I don't do this, the performance is affected as if the speeds are 1242max/384min and not 1512max/384min.
-Phone freezes on "Power Off", have to hold power button - camera flash goes off and then restarts. Workaround seems to be to use terminal emulator or other applications to reboot, etc. Don't know if there's a solution to this.
-Wallpaper incorrectly zooms - workaround: market applications. No solution that I can find yet.
-Unrelated to the ROM, but V6 Supercharger - I can only get it to report 50% supercharged, even after modifying my services.jar file and following all "step 8" instructions (that was an undertaking!!!). Don't know what's up there, but maybe some of you super-techs have figured it out.
-Only 624MB of RAM available instead of 700MB+ with GB. Haven't heard anything about why this is, so no solution or workaround.
-Doesn't seem to be an ICS keyboard available? I think this can just be installed from the market but I haven't tried it so not sure.
I'm sure there's other things like with Swype, tethering, etc.. etc... that are not working but this is just what I've noticed within the last 8 hours of flashing and trying to set-up and configure. Any comments or helpful suggestions for a n00b like me?
Thank you for any and all feedback. Thank you to all the developers working hard on this fresh release to bring us a solid ROM!

Remember, this is a leaked firmware, these bugs are within that leak itself and a few of these issues have been addressed (unknown baseband, etc..) And will be fixed when we release the actual full ROM. this is just the base we shared in the mean time. A few are still present likesome settings not sticking through boot, and the power menu hanging.
Ithink is ur phone acting weird. Only the setcpu speeds not sticking and issue about wallpaper which can easily be fixed by using quicpics are the two issues my phone had. Just dnt use any cpu controller i noticed phone goes to sleep when no cpu controller while when there is cpu controller screen off speed sticks to 384 or 192

Absolutely. And considering what I've read about previously leaked versions of Android over the years, this one performs like a champ. Can't wait to see what comes out next, but I figured from what I've read this one works well enough to go the distance and install. Thanks again collective!

Yeah, just thought I would put my experience out there if it helps anyone or if someone could help me lol. It's very likely some of these are isolated problems, but most of them are problems with the leaked version. I uninstalled setCPU because I think you're right, something likes to nom nom the battery when the screen is off.
Oh and here's something odd which I don't know if anyone else has experienced with ICS or GB, but Terminal Emulator doesn't allow me to type anything unless I capitalize each individual letter. Which of course is useless because it can't accept commands in caps. When I press any key in lowercase it's like I haven't done anything. I had to switch to the pen mode where I scribe each letter and then it puts lowercase letters in for me. Anyone know what's up with this?
This is probably not the best Rom to run for your first flash. I would try one of the official releases in the development thread, unless you are an official tester for The Collective...
Can't wait till they release an official ROM ...

I had that issue in GB... In ICS it seems to be intermittent- sometimes it just works others it doesn't...
And regarding the baseband, not sure about the Collective rom, but DAGr8's ICS rom displays the modem correctly on my Bell Note.
I also had the timezone issue- strangely enough when I disabled network time and timezone, I also stopped get random slowdowns and ANRs.

We've got the baseband unknown issue fixed in the full ROM. We just haven't released it. Still working on a couple things before we're comfortable sharing.
Hi, here are my thoughts;
1. Flash a CWM ICS modem(fixed it for me). If you cant find a modem use Dagr8's inital version of the ICS leak, it will successfully flash the modem(unlike the initial collective version(post 501 thread). The main point is to ensure you have the correct baseband(should not say unknown).
2. For now, dont supercharge the ICS leak until you have a stable running OS.
3. After fixing the baseband unknown issue(#1), reflash the collective post 501 ICS rom. It is stable, and the cleanup of the bloat was started already.
4. After installing #3, factory reset your phone.
At this point you should have a bloated, but error free ICS on your computer. Make a CWM backup, install titanium backup, and rip out the junk APK's(widgets, samsung/att garbage). Doing this will provide longer battery life and better performance.
No other wipe scripts are needed.
Factory reset BEFORE flash. The cwm script in the zip itself formats /system and /cache before it writes anything.
And the baseband unknown thing isn't a big deal. Its not that you don't have a modem at all, everything still works you get mobile data, its just the os doesn't properly report it.
if you like what you got, i say sit tight, we're working on the full ROM. You won't be disappointed

Would be cool if you guys could make a minimalistic style rom without all the makeup and cosmetics and focused on performance
We think its cooler to do BOTH
Cause the guys at Samsung must have left their seeing eye dogs at home when it came time to theme
most of us don't usually do minimalistic... once a stable rom gets out you can expect a variety of themes. Sit tight.

Same experience here
well done guys excellent base.... Having the same experiences as helios909...
Really looking forward to the the fully packaged version. Not experiencing problems with cpu speed set on boot.
Face unlock not work properly yet. Device hangs on reboot as reported. Auto update time bug exists. Baseband version unknown. Phone crashes on initial boot. But recovers.
New voice type engine is amazing. As demonstrated here.
I have been using Android phones for three years.
My current phone is the GT-19100, Android version 4.0.3, baseband version 19100XXLPX Kernel version 3.0.15-19100JPLPF-CL644992 [email protected]#3 THE BUILD NUMBER IS IML74K.JPLPF
I hope that is all the model information needed. I am afraid i can't answer the questions....
- What rom you are using? -and- What kernel are you using?
- Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
- Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
Because I dont understand them. I am no geek and just expect to turn a phone on use it and then off.
Now for my problem:
This problem seemed to start, or certainly got worse, after doing the update to ICS about 4 weeks ago. Now no process can be done smoothly on my phone without a temporary freeze and the phrase, 'Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped' appearing and the screen freezing until I press OK.
I have trawled this site and others to find a solution and although I see it probably has something to do with google syncronisation I don't understand the solutions as explained. I have a very low level, functional, understanding of my phone and no real knowledge of its OpSys. I certainly DONT want to Root it. Sounds scary.
Simple 123 step guide to a solution in none geekish language would be enormously helpful.
Hi,its as simple as this
1.go back to gb
2.stay where you are
3.root the phone
I would say that my phone and my wifes worked better on gb.
Unfortunately you cant do all that much if you arent rooted.

You may try wipe cache / factory reset. Usually helps with problems caused by upgrade from GB to ICS.

After update from gingerbread to ICS the following steps are very important:
1. Factory reset your phone (if you have already done this once, you can skip this step)
2. Open settings, go to apps, then all applications tab.
3. force stop then disable every system app you don't use.
If you are not sure about any of them, ask me, I will guide you.
* don't disable message app, contacts and market.
4. Open market, now called Google play, update all your apps.
This step is necessary to ensure proper app compatibility.
Good luck

Last time you updated your ROM, did you access Recovery Mode and do a Full Wipe by "Clear Data/Factory Reset > Wipe Cache > Reboot"
Regardless of what your told or what you read.. you should do this for every update or flash.. whether its 236 to 403 or even 404 to 404 bug fixes.. its the only way to be sure.. then install/update your apps again from Market.
Try the above first, Make sure you back up all your data first.. SMS, Call Logs, Photos.. but if the above doesnt work.. Ide go back to GB and start smiling again .
My 2 cents ....
Like those here, I got sucked into the newer is better trap and settled for 404 because I just got used to it, but, like you, I was having crashes and issues to the point of annoyance so Ive recently went back to 236 GB from LPT and what a difference, faster, more responsive, slicker, screen is brighter on 20% than it is on 40% under ICS and battery lasts an extra 4 - 6 hours. Im currently on XWLA4 and its great.
But the worst of it all for me, under ICS, when you access Task Manager under TouchWiz or Go Launcher, its running about 25 apps in the background that you dont even know about or have ever used.. whereas, GB runs about 12, talk about battery drain.
Ive flashed about 6 ICS builds and none of them have been as goiod as GB, so IMO, I think Samsung just botched up a workable ICS, so we S2 users wouldnt feel left out when the S3 arrived, but IMO its one of the most buggy, bloat filled messy OS's I ever used, I reckon thats why theres dozens of Custom ROMs built on ICS, because the default Stock ones are a a mess and uncle Sammy cant be bothered to fix it because the S2 is obselete now, samsung only have eyes for the S3 now..
Im not holding my breath for a decent working JB either. Like all devs.. once they move on, thats it.. but for me, my next phone will be an HTC.
Anyway, Theres tons of posts on XDA to help you go back to GB or clear the data through Recovery,
Good luck.

Have gone through my Apps as suggested disabling all the programme I do not use - a bit of guess work as so many are not ones I recognise. Now when i try to use google play store - nothing happens.......I must have disabled something vital. I suppose I need to start going back through the applications and enabling them until the google play store works?
OK been through and started enabling disabled apps and slowly functionality is coming back. As yet not nasty message telling me "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped". Will continue and report back.
As for rooting and going back to GB seems to me to be something Samsung should not be expecting its customers to do. Why can't the phone work as promised on sale?
Thanks for all those who have given advice - just not clear to me what the advantages of rooting a phone are?

Lemme try to put this as simple as possible (I'm a layman too )
When you purchase an android smartphone, no matter what brand, the company puts certain restrictions to its functionality. They restrict the hardware capabilities and stuff in a bunch of bloatware apps that most of us find useless. These bloatware apps can also slow down our phones. So basically if you take a broad look at the scenario, the company restricts (owns) our phones even after we've paid top dollar for them.
Now coming to the pros of rooting.
1. You become the master of your phone. As soon as you root you get "Super User" access. ( just the term makes you feel a lil more special )
2. You can remove all the bloatware that comes pre installed with your phone.
3. You can use a custom ROM and kernel that are for certain much more efficient than the stock ROM and kernel.
4. You get to decide how your hardware should work- overclock the CPU to squeeze out more performance from the beast or underclock it so that the battery lasts longer.
So that should give you a brief idea on why you should root.
I too had the same problem you are facing right now when I moved from GB to ICS. Cursed Samsung in so many tongues! I then rooted my phone, put in a custom ROM and kernel and I've been a happy man since. I too was apprehensive about rooting but now I'm certain whatever phone I buy next, its gonna be rooted as soon as its outta the box

Thanks a lot for the more simple explanation. I haven't gone down the rooted toot as yet but am now sorely tempted. In fact since following Jessie adice the freezing has stopped. I already use two batteries which get me through the average day of use........
When one 'roots' do you re-instal ICS and get the same access to stuff like Swype?

Rooting doesn't reinstall ICS, rooting just gives you the privilege to install a custom ICS ROM thereby replacing your stock ICS ROM. I don't know if all ICS ROMs support stuff like Swype but most do. Even if it doesn't come bundled with the ROM you can just download and install the app.
If you are looking for a ICS ROM with most of the Samsung apps like Email, Social Hub, Swype etc all bundled with ROM then you could try out the ROM that I'm using right now ( refer to my signature). It's basically the stock ROM look and feel with even most of the Samsung apps present minus the bloatware.

same problem but messier
hi..
i have the same problem as the topic discussed but mine is messier since i have rooted my phone. it started happen when i flash a custom rom (i suppose) from cyanogenmod but forgot to backup from the recovery mode. now my phone is running on android 4.1.2 with cyanogenmod version 10.0.0-i9100g. but the problem is i cannot restore all my application. for instance, i can use whatsapp but cannot access my google play store. ecven facebook is not working. everytime i open the apps, i get the same message.
Please somebody help me by explaining what should i do..
every help is appreciated.
I've had my tab for almost a year and I always have the same issue with every single ROM. When I flash a ROM everything works great for a few hours but by the end of the day it gets soooo slow. It gets so slow web browsing is next to impossible. Scrolling web pages becomes painfully slow and even the most basic functions such as screen unlock and other basic UI slowdowns are driving me nuts. If I use recovery to wipe the cache & Dalvik cache things speed up quite a bit, while a factory reset or re-flash bring it back to where it should be for a few hours. Regardless, it always ends up slowing back down. I've used everything from Stock HC and stock ICS, Task650 ICS and HC, to CM9 and CM10 (to include AOKP and other CM based builds) and a few others with CPU speeds everywhere from stock to 1.4GHZ. I've also tried every kernel I've found to no avail. It runs great right after a flash which is why I find it hard to believe that my issue is simply "the Tegra 2 just sucks". Anyone else have similar issues or any insight?

Is this slowdown also happening after factory reset with no additional apps installed? Could otherwise be one of your extra apps creating a memory/cache fragmentation. But if it happens on vanilla (i.e. no additional apps installed) it could be hardware?
I was going to ask the same thing as Just-another did. From my understanding the davlic cache is where the OS stores application loading information. read here for more details on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software) The davlic also stores this information to speed the boot up process. when you wipe it, the OS has to reload this information into it about each application during hte boot process (thats why new flashes and boots after the davlic wipe take forever. With the introduction of ICS, I personally noticed that the OS actually told you it was preparing applications whereas GB and Froyo didnt do this. I had tablet that wiped it out each boot. that sucked.
I would suggest looking at the regular caches or your apps to see if one is hogging processes. then again, I may be way off base.
edit: this is a good concise explanation.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7541281/what-is-dalvik-and-dalvik-cache
This may be a bit simplistic but have you tried just rebooting your device? Mine sometimes slows down to a crawl and this fixes it for me..
I agree with Pickupman66,
I would start from scratch again.. Process of elimination. A nice CM10 should do it.. But don't load new apps at all for the 1st day (don't fill in you google acount details). Leave it standard, and see how it behaves over a 24 hour period. Then slowly install apps.. install the most common and confident ones first, and leave time to make sure they're not hogging the system. Sooner or later, you'll find the one that causing the issues.

And it also interested me sometimes and I tab slow but works ok after restar not like it when I reset the time lost as the speed of response ?
