I just bought my first ever AT&T phone, and service, and even though the service is great the phone leaves something to be desired.
I LOVE this phone and the "phablet" style and the S-Pen. I've been reading reviews and watching videos and the phone looks so amazing in all of that but then I take it home and----> *finger scroll*...sccc-roo-lll..ss...sl..oow.
I've rooted it, after I realized it was lagging, and then I flashed a custom rom and...lll...aaa..ggg...It's not INCREDIBLY laggy. It's just not as smoothe as everyone Else's I'vee seen. Why??
Please help me, I go to work at 5PM(Central time), and I wanted to show my manager the phone so we can get some for the store.
I'm not a beginner to flashing or modifications, previous E4GT owner, but this problem is killing me.
Just install the latest ics leak and your lag problems will disappear.
It's very solid smooth and battery life is a big improvement.

Maybe try electrons ICS of the latest leak. Basically just super stock, but seems snappy and gives you the latest leak and modem. Plus a bit of debloating. Scrolling and screen rotation seems better in it. (latest is f5)
If that's not enough try a CM9 variant from hotwire or others.
Also, consider dumping touch wiz. It doesn't do landscape home screen and that is enough to make me not care about it. Get adwex or adw if you don't want to pay money. Nova launcher is also very good.

Install the ICS UCLF5 Leak, root, debloat, Run Apex Launcher as default. Smooth sailing.

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.

The problem I'm having with what you say, I never had the flicker to begin with, so it's different for everyone and I don't care if someone says it effects performance deleting the line. The rom is fast enough for me. It's a personal choice and most people just want something that works and don't care about the technical mumbo jumbo. On my phone, every thing works.

I know what you mean. What's funny is, pick up a nexus with stock JB on it, and I have, every rom available here blows it out of the water as far as smoothness and all around performance. So you can't say "true jb" because stock jb can't hold a candle to what we have. I blew a district manager for at&t away when he played with liquid on my phone and I think slim is even smother

ALCON,
To keep this from a possible igniting of undue and unwanted discussion; to which all this as been discussed within the ROMs threads. Thread Closed, Thank You for your understanding in this matter.
I'm going back and forth between these two as there are things I like about both.
One thing I have read is that ICS is more ram intensive, and thus certain apps might run a bit faster under Gingerbread.
Performance is the main thing I care about so I'd like to know if this is true and I would like to know your general opinions on ICS compared to Gingerbread
as well ....
Thoughts?

Man ... things are really touchy around here. Maybe I just have brain damage (quite possible) but I don't remember having to walk on eggshells quite so much back in the Tmobile Galaxy S XDA forum ...
Okay I changed it to "compared to" instead of "vs" in the body of my post ... is that less "inflammatory?"
Why would people get upset about picking one OS over the other? It's not like you designed the damn things. What's wrong with asking which one you think is faster for memory intensive apps? I'm not trolling. I just don't get it.
I personally like ics because of the overall look I never really notice a difference about performance but I can safely say this phone can handle pretty much anything

Thanks for weighing in, chibixzero!
I agree completely that ics in general looks much better than gb. I like the feel of it better too, for lack of a better word. But since I use Launcher Pro it doesn't make that much difference what the UI looks like for me. I have noticed that some games are sluggish with ics or do not run at all, but that could be more of an issue on the game developers end, I guess ... Do you have any issues connecting your phone to a computer with ics? The process seems much more cumbersome than with gb--with gb I just plug in a USB cable and tap mass storage and that is it.
Went to stock gingerbread from jb. Gingerbread is very smooth. Only thing i miss from ics/ jb is task manager and full screen browser (stock browser)
This thread is pointless, no offense meant, because of the following:

Only thing I've suffered from is a bit of mem leak... a reboot a day solves that, sometimes two. This guy is being killed by mem leak. Why is it different? Each phone is different just like each grape on a vine is different.
Different views, different experience, same phone, same ROM.
The same things can be said for ICS vs GB. Different issues, different opinions, same phone, same ROM. Let's not forget that I may FULL wipe and run the kernel cleaning script before each flash and someone else may just wipe cache and dalvik. That right there is enough for one of us to have a problem the other doesn't. Let's not forget about the different tweaks you can do which add even MORE variables to why one ROM or kernel may run better for you than me... even on the same settings.
This was my "nice" response.

GB. I believe it offers the best experience for our device. I've been on ICS for a while and the only thing holding me is the beautiful UI changes in AOSP. So far, it's been enough to keep me put. I doubt most people care about it that much though.

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new here, as in I don't normally post but I've been part of the community doing things to my android devices for a while. I am definitely not completely a noob, as I have flashed several phones all successfully. However I am trumped with my current situation.
I have a Galaxy Note i717 and currently is flashed with Padawan JB V4. It is a sweet ROM so thanks to those developers for pulling this through for the community. Anyways here is my problem ~ It runs particularly slow. Everything takes 4 or 5 seconds to load..simple things like loading the keyboard take that time and it gets really frustrating.
I have searched and searched to no avail, except for one forum post which said you have to do a factory reset right before doing any rom flashes. Now this piece of advice is on every ROM page, every user must have seen those words before as well. I definitely did not forget to reset my phone prior to doing the upgrade. So I am certain it is not the lack of a factory reset which is causing my phone these slow problems. With all this in mind, I have overclocked my phone using Trickster Mod, it helps a little bit, but gets slow again over time.
Here are my questions.
- If I installed a different Kernel, could my phone operate at all faster?
- Is Padawan V4 slow for everyone else and that is just the way life is going to be for my Galaxy Note?
- Do you guys have anything to suggest.
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your help.
Alright so after reading your title I already knew what Rom you were running.
Padawan is one of the 2 Touchwiz rooms out there. Notorious for leading people to post about lag or running slow. The Trickster mod can be tricky the first time or two. The Touchwiz rooms may not quite be as snappy as some others available with 4.3 or 4.4 but a very solid Rom in itself.
First thing I will suggest is disable the ripple effect in your lock screen options. That alone will most likely take care of 60+% of your issue.
You may be new here, don't know you post count. even if you can't post in development yet, you can still read. I would now steer you in the direction of the Padawan thread and more specifically p355- p378ish. There you will find many such as myself trying to get these exact same issues resolved. After that my phone had never ran better.
You really don't need an alternate kernel in my opinion. Many fell back on that option running 4.2 rooms which were notorious for reboots and an alternate kernel was a sort of hands-on to remedy issue.
If we can get your post count up and get you posting in development, you will find many helpful people. Don't get you feathers ruffled though on the occasional smart [email protected]@ response. 98% of it is in good fun, but not everyone takes it that way.
Hope this helps.
Any more questions or comments only counts toward your post count right?

Hey Captemo thanks for your reading redirection. They should be putting all those settings up on the main page of the Padawan files. It would make life so much easier
So I got my Note working pretty decently well...then I went out and purchased the Note 3. The Note 3 is wild compared to the Note 1, so many newer features. Pretty amazing.
Thanks again!

The Trickster mod is not specific to the Padawan rom, it is just the first place that I actually saw it. I think thread is only going to detail what developer actually made himself, but a seperate thread would probably be good idea.

I am partial to the Padawan thread as that it where I learned so much from the regulars there.

After playing with a huge load of JB roms, I have decided to revert back to ICS and boy was it the best decision I have ever made. Not even going try playing around with kit kat based roms since I don't have the time right now. My gut feeling is telling me 4.4.2 won't perform well either.
Only reason I started playing around with the roms is because when i first bought the phone used a couple months ago, it was using JB as well. Thought built in TRIM with 4.3 would help but of course it didn't.
Not a fan of CM9 due to the bugs so I lack a lot customisation atm with my 4.0.4 but it does the trick, silky smooth as well. Root access gives enough customization for my usage anyway.
Anyhow that's my 2 cents. If you want a fast and reliable device, go back to ICS. It sort of sucked at first when you realize everything your missing out with one of the community based roms but sooner or later you get used to it.
Hello. I want to flash a rom on my fathers note.
Will anyonw be kind enough to point me out to what is considered the most stable rom.
Preferable nothing over 4.2.
I flash cm10.2 and it has a weird thing where the screen fails.
I have carbon 4.4.2 on my razr hd and it works flawless. But it seems that roms on thia device arent doing so well.

I have carbon 4.4.2 on my razr hd and it works flawless. But it seems that roms on thia device arent doing so well.
If anybody ia able to help me i would apreciatte it a bunch.

Some moderators have been shutting these kinds of threads down do to the fact that you are asking for someone to rate ones work over another, but I will chime in before that happens.
I am not going to rate one over the other though, as all phones run differently as you are finding out.
2 roms that MY phone had no problem running......Padawan and Black Jelly.
These 2 are close to stock with bloatware removed. Remember this is your dads phone. There are plenty of other roms I like, but require more maintainence. How often are you going to want to fiddle with dads phone.
Not much has been happening on these threads. You will not see many recent issues. That is how stable they are. I will recommend you read and in Padawan, I will refer you back to p. 355 to about p. 380. This was just after update and many issues were solved at that time. My phone never ran better.
If you get lag, read again, you werent paying attention.
Good luck.

If you follow development rom threads you can answer your own question. That is what is expected of people to do rather than create threads like this. That being said I don't really know what you are hearing about 4.4.2 roms but my wife has been running a 4.4.2 rom for well over a week without any reboot. After installing uber,a screen jitter patch, and the camera patch everything seems to work fine. Granted she really doesn't use bluetooth much but when she does it seems to work and there is an echo when using speaker phone on the other end. So really only reason not to go to 4.4.2 would be the speaker phone issue which I believe is present on any rom above 4.2. There is no way I could live on 4.1 or below personally.
Anyway to answer your question read the threads in the development section of this forum and educate yourself. Maybe even go as far as to flash a few roms and try them out and decide which rom is right for you.
Battery on Kit Kat seems to have a bit of a shorter life span also.
What you were stating Butcher, may be the reasons he is asking for stable. Patch here, kernal there, 4.4 has been very stable. But he is putting it on dads phone. If I were flashing dads phone, I would want something I am not having to tweak so much, especially if dad cant tweak himself.
Would you want to change the brakes on dads car every other day. Some roms are like a medication. The phone seems to build up tolerances, then need to make an adjustment.
But yes, read.

Yes thank you.
I would usually just flash away any rom ghat sounds promising to me. And yes i would tweak as much needed to be exactly how i wanted. From overclocking to to voltages, to removing navbar to what ever is needed.
But like you said this is for my father and i would want to have it be the most stable ao he wont have to deal with reeboots and and weird screen fails.
And i have been reading and uber has been mentioner a lot. Some say good some say its bad.
Kinda have been seeing a mixed opinion about it. Thats why i have been asking for what somebody consideres a stable rom.
Also i dont have the opportunity to mess with his phone when ever i want.
He is on gingerbread and god is that slow.
Thank you both i will see the roms that were mentioned here, and read for others.

If you went to the Samsung website, you can get an official upgrade there or even calling the carrier and have the upgrade it. JB is the official upgrade. If something goes wrong there, then at least they are resposible if something goes wrong.
