Hey.
How is ICS smoothness on S3 compared to S2 ICS?
On SGS2 i9100 the official ICS is not as smooth as it was on Gingerbread. The touch just seems off.
Is this fixed on S3? Or is it still the same as S2?
Thanks.
It's better than on s2, but it aint as perfect as on s2 gingerbread, the touch difference was the reason i always had to revert to gingerbread on the s2 after trying the various ics firmwares. I use a specific remote desktop program daily and in that program it was very noticeable that the mouse control was not perfect in anything but s2 with gingerbread.

For me it's better then s2 gingerbread

I think also that S3 ICS is smoother than S2 (intl. or G version) ICS
Early firmware is nowhere near as smooth as the final Gingerbread builds on SGS2 and is not even as smooth as ICS on SGS2 . But that is early firmware like the SGS1 and 2 it should improve in time .

Main reason for that is because of the update from "continous" scrolling and "elastic" scrolling..
Gingerbread= Continous Scrolling
ICS= Elastic Scrolling

You think s2 with ics is smoother then s3? I promise you, something must be real bad with your device like having power saving mode or something.
When I use my wife's s2 (gave to her when I bought s3) its like night and day

Eh, not even as smooth as ICS on SGS2? Sorry, but the SGS3 feels blazing fast... even compared to SGS2.
And it will only get better indeed...

I have both and if you read my post last custom GB on SGS2 has so far not been surpassed by ICS .
But that's my opinion and based on my experience yes fast at times then decides to hang for a second or two .All custom roms all kernels so far >>> must go back to stock and test that .

Running latest ics on my s2, it littery sucks compared to s3

SGS3 is crazy smooth
I have the T Mo version of the SGS3 & the Sprint SGS2. I was running cm9 alpha6 on my SGS2 & when I used the SGS3 side by side, I immediately switched back to GB brecause its so smooth. I thought ics was really smooth on my S2 until I used it on the S3. I cant get the S3 to hang or lag no matter how hard I try. Its just as smooth as GB on the S2 except its faster as far as pinching & zooming in the stock browser on heavy flash sites goes. Even 3rd party apps on the S3 don't lag at all. It cant get smoother than this thing, Once you get over 50+fps I really dont think u can tell the difference.

i like my, ace, i like it alot. iv got AOSP with my own custom stuff added and taken away for nice smooth and fast daily usage.i have only had it it 4 months and i dont want to upgrade, but as more and more handsets come out with ics. i cant see me having the ACE that much longer. i want ics, i think its safe to safe we are not going to get this with our ace. best we will get is AOSP ROM with ics themes. its just cosmetics not the real deal. i dont want to upgrade, but if i want Ics i think im gona have to, unless someone cane say otherwise?
think we are all gonna have to say by to our ace soon
What is so special about ICS that you want to change phones?

because gingerbread is getting old, more fetures in Ics, i no you can get apps ect to replicate, but replicating ics just bloats the phone. and the cpu and gpu just seem weak in the ACE now.

i am new to the i9100 (coming from G2x ICS build), i have noticed that the interface does not follow my fingers as closely as in the LG (or other phones).
Is this a known issue?

Thanks. Since this is my first ICS rom, I have to check on that rom you mentioned. I am a noob. Bought this i9100 with this ROM already on it.
struggling with all the search results
Although I can't attest to it, I did see a few people complaining about touch lag in both XXLPB and XXLPH. They're both leaks after all, and not official yet. You'll want to wait for a while till kernel sources or an official ICS ROM comes out.
CheckROM will be flawless due to it being based on a Gingerbread ROM, and any other GB ROMs for that matter (I used CheckROM and its pretty responsive). If you want, you can switch to them temporarily until a better ICS alternative comes, or stay there and wait for a better one.

Why scrolling on ICS roms (sammy and aosp) are worse than on Gingerbread? It really sucks. I just don't get it since ICS is supposed to have hardware acceleration and all. It stutters a lot and is not as smooth as gb. I've been using paranoid rom for some time now and I've tried almost everything available on xda and while ICS has clear advantages over gb, scrolling is not one of them. I just went back to cm7 just to make sure (it'd been a long time since I'd used it and I didn't remember very well) and scrolling is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy better. Isn't it possible to make ics scrolling better? Am I missing some config or tweak that fixes this?
ICS has only recently been shipped out, give Samsung some time and they'll iron out these things
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I can only agree. The scrolling in ICS on Galaxy S2 is poor. It is stuttering and this makes it unpredictable and very unpleasant to look at. The latest (XWLPG) firmware doesn't help at all. In my view, ICS is a beta product due to this single flaw. It may be functional, but not as good as GB good.
I am therefore running GB again.

As they said - "TO EACH IS OWN". it really is a preference for the user if they want ICS or GB. Feature wise, ICS offers a lot more than GB. Stability wise, yes its GB. Just my two cents
Agreed. The scrolling sucks. Stutter, stu stu stutter...
I never knew how bad scrolling could be until these stock-based Samsung ICS ROMs came out. As you lift your finger off the screen, the tracking is way too sensitive and sometimes this causes the scrolling to go flinging off into the opposite direction, or too far in the same direction you were traveling before you lifted your finger. This isn't necessarily an ICS problem, because CM9 and AOKP based ROMs on the SGS2 don't suffer from this issue, so it's obviously something Samsung is doing. Changing kernels and playing around with different touch sensitivity / vitalij settings doesn't really help. I'll be curious to see if the stock-based ROMs on the SGS3 do the same thing.
I'm having the exact same problem. Tried everything from pure stripped down ICS ROMS to heavily customized ones and the scrolling sucks as compared to GB. It's a shame the UI experience is worse on ICS when it is the biggest factor in user experience. The SGS2 has very powerful hardware (even by today's standards) and shouldn't stutter while simply scrolling between homescreens or app menus. It really just ruins the experience for me.
Any new on the next android update? I hope they're not stopping at 4.0.4 cus there's a lot more to be done.

It has nothing to do with samsung. It's ICS itself. Using custom non-samsung ICS roms (even pure google ICS experience ones) stutters just as much.

I'm using XX series of ROMs and with exception of the first one (LPQ) scrolling is perfect, especially on XXLPW. I read somewhere on this forum that Samsung implemented different scrolling engine on ICS ROMs so actually we shouldn't much compare these two stock ROMs families. ICS was supposed to behave a little different from the beginning. Anyway, I've noticed the differences in scrolling mechanism on ICS but cannot say single bad word about its fluency nor speed.

Glad you liked! Funny thing is I never even used GB on my S2. Brought my used one home from the shop in early Jan, flashed an early version of CM9 and never looked back Now I'm a devout Slim ICS user. Highly recommended.

I have only used official samsung roms and ICS stutters a lot. Use GB and ICS next to each other and you can't help thinking ICS is a step back when it comes to scrolling.
i think a lot of people in XDA uses Stock Jelly Bean. Is there any one who still uses ICS?
Yes, mainly for the kernel support
Edited, because Swype thinks "mainly" is the same as "flash" lol
Me rotfl
I'll try JB later on, ics is really stable now
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
yep, was using RandomBlames Jellytime on my DHD. But fell back to ICS (CheckRom) on my S3, why? Because ICS is soo stable and it all works, so I'll give the devs some time to sort out the foibles with an official JB release before jumping ship.
Jellybean's still too buggy to use everyday and just doesn't have enough extra features to put up with the hassle.
i dont think i will update to JB because the MX player that supports DTS doesnt't work on JB, and the updated version that does work on JB had DTS removed because of licensing isssues.
So i rather play MKV's with sound on ICS than to use JB with a worse video player.
Once kernel sources are released for JB, ill start using it.. that memory leak is just annoying.
Till then CM9.1 will do me just fine !

You mean to say that you've never had a problem that you couldn't ignore. The latest LH9 leak is worse than the earlier leaks. LH7 was probably the best.
The most major issues for me were:
FC on keyboards, including Samsung's
Non-Working LED notifications
Strobe LED on charging
Ugly gray status bar
Terrible autobrightness (much worse than ICS) and defaults set way too low
There were a few others mentioned in the thread, but for me, I'll happily wait on LH1 with Domination Theme anyway. When Vertimus makes Domination for JB, I'll probably update.
I keep trying jb roms but non ever float my boat always some kinda issue ether lagg or fc so I'm still rocking fox hound ics its sexy and smooth without the Bs, I'm forever tempted when a new jb rom arrives but deep down know it will fail:banghead:

My sister has a s2. I was telling her about the soon to be out jelly bean update and about the system memory shrinkage of 1 GB. So its basically her question that is it really to flash or let the ics do its work? Well me for my note is dying for the official JB. For now 4.0.4 is rocking my phone.

Well, if you're rooted and can do a Nandroid, do it.
Do a Nandroid backup of your current state and flash JB for a test run.
Let the user judge the worthiness.
If the user thinks its not worthy, restore the Nandroid backup.
arilyag 500
i'd say it really depends on the phone...
best to make a nandroid backup before upgrading.
i've gone to JB twice (ParanoidAndroid and Neatrom) but went back to ICS
PURELY for the reason that i wasnt able to get good deep sleep on JB but there are many people who have no issues with this.
There were a few system related apps where I just prefered the ICS versions as well so i wouldnt say its specifically JB related.
I never had any issues running Neatrom 4.0 and PA on JB on my S2, i usually remove all bloatware and replace launcher with apex so everything seems quick to me
As all custom rom have bugs because of sources not available but stock jb will be bug free and should have deep sleep/good battery backup. So i think its fully worthy...
-more battery drain
-more features
-not much modded kernels ready yet
-it's jb, and really much smoother
-some bugs, but in everyday use really hard to spot them
Galaxy note
I would galaxy note n note2 are best to enjoy JB. N features like ripple lock with ink effect n specially videos n multi window on an huge screen.
If u feel note2 is expensive note1 is another real good option n buyable tooo..
Try the leaked xxlsj, it's very fast and the only issues I've been having are battery drain when browsing web and lock screen lag. It brings lots of enhancements to ics!
Well thanks for the help. A backup would be a good solution before taking the risk.
Lets see JB responds on it. But what about the 1 gb sacrifice for the system apps can we repatition it???
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
do the nandroid but honestly i suggest waiting for the official
its supposed to have a lot of things worked out as compared to the leaked xxlsj.
i liked xxlsj but i would def try JB again official leak on my s2
