Is 4.0.4 smooth like gingerbread? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
So on sgs2 the ICS update was not as smooth as gingerbread, now that the new update is out, is there any improvements in smoothness of the phone or is the touch still same as ICS?
I havent updated the phone in awhile, so I am not sure.
Thanks.

From my experience and what I've read...nope! It seems to be buggy I suggest stay on GB or flash a custom ROM

for stock roms...ics sucks...for custom is pretty good

Actually we have CM10...
And I have 4.0.3 as 2nd ROM. And it's not buggy for me.

From what I've heard its buggy, and better just to stick to 4.0.3. If you have rooted your device I would suggest Rootbox for an amazing taste of either ICS or Jelly Bean

gingerbread was very smooth especially in browser zooming and gallery.4.0.4 is all right smooth but lag in zooming

look, gingerbread is much more smoother than ics, but ics has a lot of known advantages and updates over GB

[Q] XXLPB ICS ROM (codeworks) presents touch lag?

Did anyone else know of this?
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 a million

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.

Just wait for a rooted stock rim. Besides drop is already set to create an update based in official sprint firmware.

You don't even have to wait. There are rooted stock ROMs available in development.

What's the ROM scene like right now? I've been out of the loop for a while. I currently have a ICS rom installed running ADW launcher and it's a bit laggy that I remember the gingerbread roms to be. Any recommendations for an ICS that runs as well as gingerbread?

All of the ICS roms based on the VM leak run perfectly, for me at least. Killer battery life. I haven't seen any roms based on the Sprint release yet, but there really shouldn't be much difference.

Compared to the GB ROMs, the ICS ones are all a little slow. They are definitely quicker than stock, but lag compared to GB. They are getting better though.

P7500 to slow for CM10

Saw today the nexus 7 running jelly bean and was surprised how smooth it was, so was wondering whether the p7500 is too slow (overclocked to 1400 which helped a bit but still miles away) or its because CM is still in early development
** Sent from P7500 running CM10 Alpha **
I've tried pershoots CM10 experimental Build on my p7501 at 1000mhz. For me it's very smooth.
smoother then the stock or cm9 rom.
The P7500 should be capable to run CM10.

i heard that pershoot cm10 built has a working camera (rear)...is that true??
I have CM10 experimental build on my GT-P7500, and it's pretty smooth.
It may not be 100% perfect, but it's a lot smoother than a stock HC ROM.

Is there anyone who still uses ICS on S3?

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 !

Like many previously answered, I still use ICS for its stability.

I am on stock JB and think its a hell of a lot better than ICS by far, just my opinion, but if this has bugs in it can't wait to see it without bugs
Never had 1 problem yet and been on it for over a week now

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:

I get what you're asking but why not just dual boot ICS and Jelly bean? If you're concerned about stability you won't have any issues with ICS if you're running a decent Rom. Just my opinion.

ICS feels so buggy compared to GB. Things just always worked better on GB. But I digress.

I disagree if you find a good ICS rom ICS is much better then GB There is just no comparison between the 2 with the right rom it can run just as smooth as GB but with some added features that really come in handy

The extra features are the only reason I am on ICS. I am running SHOstock2, which IMO is probably the best ICS rom, but it is still a bit buggier than GB. As with the OP, once there is a stable JB rom, I would love to dual boot GB and Jellybean.

if you look at my signiture i am running shostock2 as well as Phonebricker dualboot I tend to lean more towards phonebreaker than shostock a little more responsive

If the ICS is buggie to you now, then you would expect a very very very long time to get a "stable, buggie-free" JB ROM.

Surprised this thread is still going, isn't the below still accurate (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24724563&postcount=3296):
"20) Can i have one GB rom and second ICS rom?
A. No
21) Why?
A. Kernel partition is shared between roms. Dual boot functionality is implemented in ICS kernel. ICS kernel can run only ICS roms."
If GB and ICS didn't work, I don't see why JB and GB would suddenly work.
