I recently had to get a warranty exchange after my charging port stopped working a week after upgrading to ICS. When I asked if I'd have to re-update the new device I was told to hold off because there are a lot of kinks that need to be worked out in terms of the compatibility with this device.
That's fine with me because I did a master reset and all and still had the slow speeds, sporadic behavior, black screens, etc. :sly:

I do not think its a fluke. ICS has a lot of improvements but there is no way its as fast as Gingerbread. I know most people will say I am wrong but Gingerbread is much snappier and its also more simplistic. ICS also eats up more ram but besides speed and ram its very much improved as an OS.

I disagree with this, but only to a certain extent. I have noticed varying amount of lag on both GB and ICS. ICS does seem to use up more RAM on consistent basis, but that alone doesn't really mean that it is slower or indicate that it is the slower of the two OS. GB had its problems for me as well.
Overall I enjoy the user experience much more with ICS than I did with GB. That's not too say that its consistently faster, but overall Ill deal with a few quirks for the upgraded OS.

In my case ICS is MUCH faster, smoother and solid than Gingerbread on my Note.
if you all were running a aosp ics rom . it would be lightyears above gb
i recomend rooting and geting on aocp its like night and day compared to touchwizd ics
Just Use CM9 ICS virtually no lag...
Just flash a rom already

Same problem here, mate. I loved the Note with GB, but it's been buggy as all hell with ICS. The biggest problem is looking at the blank home screen with nothing but wallpaper for up to 30 seconds after closing an app. It's a lot better using GoLauncher rather than TouchWiz, but it still suffers from a lot of lag. Hopefully they'll push out an OTA fix to better regulate resources soon.

even if you don't want to run a custom rom, you should at least do the following:
1. Use Odin to flash the latest cwm recovery
2. Boot to recovery, flash superuser to root
3. Clear cache and dalvik
4. Reboot
5. Profit
Then again, running a custom rom would be an even better idea...

Even after rooting and debloating (which helped) it was still too slow for me, go with cm9 or if you think your ready cm10 lol

If stock ics is too slow, I think a nice launcher could help if you're not addicted to Samsung widgets. Nova prime or Adwex can speed the home screen up a bunch. Especially with options to reduce scrolling time etc. I thought the stock ics was perfectly fine. I never had any speed issues or complaints, but I was running a debloated, aligned, deodexed version so maybe that had something to do with it.
Obviously best solution is custom Rom though :thumbup:
Good luck peeps.

Hi,
I have came from a rooted Htc Desire to this Samsung phone, i never tried the stock samsung rom, i just rooted and flashed a custom rom straight away.
I have flashed about 30 roms and have not fiund one that is not lag free.
Why is this?

To OP, lag is usually caused by kernels more than it is ROM's. I would suggest you do all wipes and flash a kernel cleaning script before changing kernels etc.

This also depends on the firmware version.
The first ics were slow at scrolling... but this is improved in later version.
Also every version has its problems.
Hi,
I always do a fresh wipe and use the kernel cleaning script, i have just flashed the Omega rom with the speedmod kenel and although they are great i always have a slightly laggy home screen and the app menu is the same.
Also the homescreen button has a bit of lag when you switch on.
I have had this problem with just about every rom i have tried.
Anyone recommend a rom that is smooth?
My phone is still laggy with all roms i've tried so far, mainly the app list screen, home screen and contacts screen.
Are there Hboots for this phone like there was for the Desire?

Which roms did you actually try?
No such thing as hboots on samsung phones.
Hi,
I have probably tried all roms up until 3 days ago, the most stable rom i tried was probably lightning rom flashed through Odin but was still not very smooth, i am about to flash Omega 9 rom with the latest speedmod kernel and see how i get on with that.
No ICS ROM is going to be perfect, and I think you should commemorate the work that developers have done to get the ROM's up to the standard they are, considering they have to work with little to no source code from Samsung. Samsung is always very slow at releasing source code, and therefore developers have to work with leaked ROM's which are still in development themselves.
I'm not trying to hate, I'm just saying that all ROM's will have their issues at the moment, and simply stating, "Why are all ROM's laggy?" is very general and very untrue, because I use Simplistic ROM, and I have not experienced any lag since flashing the latest version a week ago. Most ROM's now are getting to an excellent standard and great performance and battery life.

I remember the GB stock roms were pretty lag free usually. But a huge battery drainer and for me, ugly(TW).
If you really really really really want a lag free(almost) experience, get an iphone. Not the best suggestion but i bet that most of us android users out there right now experiences more lags than the norm iphone user. I have my galaxy s2 and although all my friends and family has an iphone, im greatly satisfied with this little wizz. rocking latest CM9. and not switching phones anytime soon.
Or maybe flash something GB
MIUI
You might have already tried MIUI Roms for your Desire?
Galnet GB 2.3.23 is fully lag free and stable......
ICS MIUI also well accepted and appreciated by the people now, but to wait for a fully bug free one for couple of weeks more...
Thanks for the replies!

Is odd, surely depends on the rom you have installed, are you having the same problem with a stock firmware?

You can forget all the luxuries of TouchWiz though
I am pondering which route to take to get to an ics rom. I recently received a refurb unit, and considering i am coming from ground zero, I want to take the most efficient path to ics. I don't know wether to upgrade to the leaked firmware, or should i simply use a rom that is patched to work with the old firmware. I am open to all arguments.
on a non related note I play college footballhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sESA-vXkyY
I personally used the leaked firmware since it was radios and all. The patch is to keep your existing radios and PRL version, but to be able to use newer roms. My rezound with the new radios has better coverage than my wife's which has the original from the ota. Since you are already starting from the ground up I say flash the ruu for the leak.
I am using the leaked ICS RUU and it is working fine for me. I also get better coverage with the new radios.
Since you're at square one, I'd install the leaked firmware.

Aren't there fairly serious problems with screen-on CPU usage, though? There are several threads outlining issues with the new firmware. I am using CleanROM 4.3 with the patch, and my battery life is slightly better than it was before. I'd be very wary of flashing the new firmware until the official OTA, or until s-off is achieved.

unless you have a problem with the radio, go with the patch

The on-screen cpu usage is not from the firmware its from the kernel. So whether you are running the patch/old firmware or the new firmware, you have the issue as long as you are running the new kernel.
The new ICS does give pretty outstanding battery life, as long as the screen is off. but as soon as you turn the screen on your battery meter turns into a countdown timer. I can go all night without my phone on charger while I'm asleep and it only uses about 5-8% battery in 8 hours. That's pretty good. But during the day while I'm using it with screen on battery life is garbage and the battery gets really hot.
My suggestion is to stay on the OTA gingerbread as long as you can unless you're just really dying for ICS. Wait for the official ICS update with a better kernel. But if you go with ICS I would use the old firmware and patch method. So it makes it easier to go back.

+1 to that. Until they get s-off setup for everyone I would recommend this as well. I toiled forever on whether to do they leak or not. I saw just as many people saying it helped as hurt. At first I chalked it up to the noob factor but once I saw people that looked like experienced flashers having problems I held off. The roms now have old firmware patches so you can run them without the leak. I've ran Clean Rom, Nils and Bored without any problems at all. I've even been able to run the Sense 4.0 roms using the patch. Battery leaves alittle to be desired on some of them but we don't have sources for kernels so that's to be expected. Just my $.02 but it's your phone and the choice is up to you.

Agreed. Just install the patch.
Another vote for the patch. You can always switch to the leaked firmware if you want in the future but you can't downgrade. I recommend holding off upgrading firmware until S-OFF is released. If you are happy with battery life/signal, etc don't mess with it.
I'm on the patch, working great, got 1 day, 18 hours and 30 min last weekend with 19% left. Of course that is very light use but I have never seen that before. I have no problems with coverage or radios
Thanks for all of your pragmatic input. I've upgrade to the leaked firmware on multiple devices, and was tempted to do the same to this one. You guys pretty much reinforced my feelings of trepidation and resovle to obstain from going as far away from Stock gingerbread as possible. It just lowers my inhibitions with its uglyness when placed side by side with my old device running ics. Battery life is paramount though.

Assuming that s-off comes in a near term time-frame. We don't all have an extra Rezound to play with, and constantly tweak to work as a daily driver. It's perfectly reasonable to wait for s-off.

i have been seeing all these different roms for ics, and i wonder which one should i install and i am starting from stock 2.1 so is there anything more that i should do before i flash an ics rom.
That's a matter of opinion. If you're looking for straight up speediness: ICS Slim is the way to go on that. However it is devoid of a lot of customizations that people in the community grew to love: This probably won't bother you. (unless you prefer the drop-down notifications widgets from the Samsung builds).
I personally use ExROM which is a nice compromise between ICS Slim's speediness and the wealth of features that other ROMs like Codename Android offers as well as ICS Passion. Unfortunately for me, ExROM doesn't play kindly with switching kernels (if that applies to you). Overall, you should give ICS Slim a try and go from there. A word of caution: prepare to provide your own apps (for music, homescreen, etc.) as Slim doesn't provide those.
If you don't even know which replacements apps to use (assuming you've always used core stock apps for music, email, etc.): then get ICS Passion ROM.
why thanks for the reply, could you direct me to the rom you are using?
also can you check your PM i had something to ask
Newer builds are better.
Try IC Zenwich 1.6
Stable and Fast with all the usual features you will find in a Rom plus all the customizations you may need....
Im using ICS Slim 3.4, hence its name, it is stripped down to basics so you may need to install additional apps, features that you may need...
As usual it has all the customizations you need if in case...
thanks for the input guys im getting closer to able to install ICS on my vibrant
silvercrown i sent you a pm
Another vote for ICS Slim 3.4. I was running a version of MIUI for months, waiting for the ICS ROMs to stabilize. Installation is a little tricky if you're not an uber-flasher, but it's not too bad. I also flashed the add-on pack and it's as complete a ROM as you will need. After 24 hours it's running very smooth. Definitely a daily driver. And ICS is a nice upgrade.

+1 on ICS Passion/Euphoria
Euphoria has most of the customizations you would want for your phone, quite stable, and good battery life. They've been slow on the updates lately, but the 1 or 2 devs that were working on it are back on. Foreseeing an update soon.
Have been using Euphoria for a month now, nice and stable but apps lag a bit. Would like to know if this is a problem with other ICS roms as well. Btw, Euphoria has great battery life (better than Bionix 1.3.1)
I've tried almost every ICS rom that is currently out, and from my personal experience, ICS Zen 1.6 is by far the best. I have absolutely no lag, and I get almost 2 days worth of battery life on a single charge with the normal stock battery.
It's also very customizable, which it one of my favorite aspects. It has 3 themes that are out right now for it as well, if you grow sick of the ics blue.

Try forcing scrolling cache in Rom control, and changing the free memory value.
Enable the start up tweaks as well. Also, how long ago did you flash it? Generally, with any rom, you will experience lag the first day or two while the rom settles. Same goes with the battery life. It all settles in after the first day or so. But it wouldn't hurt to download an app like nstools and change the govs and such for now.
Alright. You guys have convinced to me to give Zenwich a try.
The first ICS ROM I tried was Passion 10.6. I found it to be very unstable. So I went back to my old standby, Bionix NextGen v1 with the Overstock 2.4.1 kernel. I recently tried the CM9 Nightly builds. These were much more stable but battery life was horrible. And now there is a big issue with 911. Again, back to NextGen. I was looking at trying the latest version of Passion again until I found this thread.
Are 911 calls working on Zenwich?
I'd recommend onecosmics aokp ROM. I was on passion forever but I switched recently. I had to switch to trebuchet launcher because it's my favorite and it eliminated lag. I also flashed SZ new kernel. I love the customization and nice icons!

As far as I know or heard no 911 bug present . Just don't blame me if it is -_-

So I am very new to the whole flashing scene. This is actually my first smartphone. I have it flashed to Straight Talk, and I love the phone.
I have it rooted, and was thinking about trying some custom ROMS. I tried ICS first, but the lack of a good camera and panorama made me flash back to stock. I use this phone primarily as a camera.
I now have the "stock" Gingerbread ROM flashed. And I was wondering if there were any enhancements I could make to this ROM, or if I would need to flash a different one.
I do like the default layout of the phone. I would love to be able to speed it up a bit though. What I did like about ICS was how I could customize every little detail. If there were a GB ROM where I could customize, but did not lose my beloved Panorama photos, I would definitely give it a try.
Darkys is a great gb rom. Its based on stock gb so it would be reasonably familiar. its fast and stable.

ICS most certainly has panorama mode

You didn't tell us what variant you are on so I am going to assume you have a Verizon fascinate flashed to straight talk.
Geewiz and super clean are about equal for touchwiz ginger bread. Touchwiz has the best camera by far on gingerbread. I'd use the cm7 cherry picks by makelegs if you want aosp.
But seriously, I don't understand why you would use gingerbread at this point. The camera quality from glitched aokp ics to tw gingerbread is nearly equal. Panorama is on ice too.
Oh and darky's rom is only an option if you are on a GSM telus fascinate. It is not for Verizon's cdma version.

Superclean 3 gets my vote. Combined with KGB Kernel it is pretty smooth and everything works.
TSM Res 2.2 is a lot like SC3, but it has more available to customize. For example, you can tweak your clock, use the MIUI battery bar, change text colors, etc. In the end, both are excellent choices. KGB kernel works well with either, and it should do pretty much anything you need it to do.

It does have panorama, but the quality of it is nowhere near the stock version. Having to constantly sweep the camera instead of having it take several instant photos often leaves motion blurs or vertical slips.
I am on Straight Talk, yes. And I am currently on ICS milestone-5. I love everything about this rom, with the exception that I cannot use the flash in camcorder mode, which is big for me, and that the camera constantly force closes.
I take probably a hundred photos a day with my phone. Someone considering it stable when they use it once a week is one thing. It is not stable when used daily throughout the day.
If the camera worked on ICS I would most certainly stay with ICS. I have tried builds from all the devs. The same 2 issues persist. The LED will not remain on for camcorder or torch, and the camera force closes constantly.
Until these issues are fixed I have to use GB. I would like to find one that I can still OC to 1.4 ghz or so. My quadrant scores on ICS are in the 1650's. Stock around 1200s.
The only reason I have this phone over a normal Straight Talk phone is for the camera. Without it being 100% stable and reliable I cannot use ICS

Then your option is basically super clean 3 or Geewiz. Use the KGB kernel with it for a performance boost through over clocking .
And don't put too much stock in quadrant. It is one of the least reliable ways to benchmark a phones performance.

I don't base performance on Quadrant. I only use to to compare "ok X scored 1200 and Y scored 1500".
I am back on the "stock" GB right now.
I actually had just tried the KGB kernel. Maybe I did something wrong...I could not find any settings to overclock with that kernel. Do I need another app to overclock once on that kernel? All I did was look in the options that you get when you click on the KGB app.
I was on GeeWiz also. I flashed the ROM, booted from the ROM and flashed KGB.
I saw some people saying for other overclocks they needed NSFtools or something like that...Do I need that to overclock on KGB?
Sorry if I'm an idiot -,- I've come a long way in a week I think lol.
I would use the KGB app with the KGB kernel. I am a little curious why you wouldn't just use a camera instead if the phone for pictures. The phone will never compare as far as quality goes.

I haven't been on gingerbread for so long...
But nstools is for ics and other aosp roms.
If I remember right, maybe try voltage control? I think that's what I used back then.

I have an SLR camera when I want to take "real" photos. I still take them constantly on my phone.
I installed GeeWiz again and KGB, it is doing the android voice thing right now for its first boot.
When I went to the KGB app before, I did not see anything for cpu or voltage control. The first time I installed it via recovery, so maybe now that I've done it through ODIN it will be different.
If not I will post back in a few minutes.
With my luck, they will get the camera / torch working on ICS tomorrow and I'll get to go through the whole process again lol.
EDIT: Yea, there is no option for voltage or cpu settings. The app opens, you can adjust call / volume boost, and zram settings. Nothing about CPU / Voltage....I'm confused....
Voltage control is an app in the market. I should have been more clear.

Ah, I'll try it. I thought it was built into KGB like it is in ICS.
Really sucks that they cant get the torch working so I can use the LED for pictures because I really do like everything else about the ICS roms -,-
That worked. Up'd it to 1.4 ghz and will adjust the min once I can play with it a little.
As soon as the torch settings work on ICS I will be back to that. I really do love the UI itself. Just hate that I can only use my camera with flash but not the camcorder
Sorry about that. You will also need any of the CPU programs like voltage control,etc. I wasn't knocking you for using it as a camera, was just curious because I don't know to many people who take a ton of photos on their phone. I do here and there, but the dslr is where its at

I have ice cream sandwich on my fascinate and i hate the fact there seems to be no fix for the speaker phone.
Does superclean 3 with gingerbread allow you to use your speakerphone without the echos and feedback?
i like ics but the speakerphone issue is a dealbreaker for me.
Samsung is going to update the Note 2 to 4.3.

Of course, we may not actually see it on Verizon till 5.0 comes out.

I figured this is what they would do, and honestly I dont mind as long as they get on the ball and release it quickly even if the quickly is only to the international version because at least then we will get a port quickly while we wait on Big Red.

There's already a thread on this.
all we need is an international one to leak for our trusted devs to work their magic.

Yes, but with quite a bit of issues and none of the Touchwiz features (Not going to argue if that is a good or a bad thing).
I think most users root to get back to a stock feel, leaving behind TW, etc. As for this nightly, it's stable enough for a dd. After last night's build, the only major issue seems to be the graphical glitches that happen in Gmail and a few other apps. Battery life and overall performance doesn't seem to be an issue.
Users waiting for an official 4.3 TW could be waiting a long time.

I've been a big aosp guy for a while but coming to this phone I am really digging TW. Always heard so much hate on it. Makes stock android feel so plain. Not trying to start a debate but I am excited to here that this phone will eventually get the 4.3 update.

In your opinion, how is the in call volume? thats the major thing keeping me away from ASOP because I use the phone for work and to make calls almost all day
The volume is great now. The maintainer has merged an audio fix and is now a permanent part of the build. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406788&page=17

Call volumes were really loud. My biggest problem when I played with 4.3 was the graphical glitches. Call me superficial, but they are very annoying and when trying to use logmein ignition, it was unusable because of them.

I was reading about that too. I'll wait. I have a nexus 7 so I have my stock fix... For now. I'll have to wait until its fixed.

I agree that the graphical glitches in 4.3 are annoying but if nobody uses the roms and reports issues and the possible things that trigger them then they will never improve. By the way, what rom were you running?

the paranoid android 4.3, build from last week or so. The graphical glitches apparently are across all aosp ROMs so I don't think its something that will be fixed soon.

I'm running 4.3 and the graphics are the only downside, but someone posted a fix for GPU rendering on page 22 of that thread. Volume and GPS worked great right off the bat.
