[Q] Stock FW vs CM9 scroll - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,i noticed the official sammy FW have a ''loose scroll'' ,you swype just a little, and it goes a little bit more than what you wanted, but in CM9, the touch is more ''controlled'', so, there is a way of making the ''loose'' scroll on the stock firmware more ''controlled''? just like in CM9?
Maybe installing a new kernel or another FW that doesn't happen this?
Thanks
ps:sorry for the bad english

You can try changing the kernel to something like siyah, etc they come with some tweaks to make you able to change scroll sensibility, stock is 50, you can change to higher or lower depending on your taste.
By experience, cm9 is better in every aspect...without mods

Well, i already installed the latest Siyah kernel (4.1.5) and downloaded the Extweak app but, what i have to modify to make the scroll more controlled?

You just need to scroll to something saying sensitivity in extweaks, you will see it, change to your taste. Gud luck

Overall -cm. For me battery life lasted longer in cm than stock. And obviously features add to it.

CM Permission management is the biggest selling point, I love the fact that is integrated and no need to install extra apps or modify apks, plus the 640*480 video recording, last time I checked stock only lets you record video at 320*480, then of course the pletora of additional features and the coolness level
nice idea to make a poll like this
Definitely cm!

my opinion
CM!
Why? (This is just my opinion, i don't wanna pi** anybody off with this.)
Stock has some samsung-only apps like "AllShare" etc. but i dont care about these.
And it has its own contacts browser which supports quick call/sms by swiping over the contact. i really love that feature, but the pros of cm are alot more:
- its looks better (menu effects from ics etc.)
- it has awesome customization options
- it has the theme chooser <3
- and the most important thing: it defo runs faster/better!
i prefer stock based roms
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
i love cm but can`t install in my galaxy pro,no custom flash recovery anywhere
Stock with CF-Root b84.
it seems cm is more desired than stock ...still what's the upside for stock?
CM7 More speed and better Performance and better Settings
i wait for CM9 Beta
(Custom) Stock. Full stability and more comfortable for daily usage.

stock FTW
for me its modified stock... Ive tried loads of roms and so far omega rocks my world and my phone....
there's some kind of magic when you revert from CM to stock... you know... all working as they should, you have the assurance that your phone won't give up on you. The thing is though after a few minutes on stock and having tried CM you miss lots of things which I can't be bothered to mention now.
So CM for me!
yea...once i use cm and tried back to stock ( based rom) it feels rather odd ...and limited =(

[Q] Stock GB Swype VS Swype from swype.com

Hi,
Guys i have the XWLA4 stock rom and the swype that came with it lags to the extreme :/ I was thinking about overwriting it with the one from swype.com so was wondering about the difference between them? Any advantage of stock swype over the one from swype.com?
Swype from site is better. For me it is much more responsive and smoother. Maybe it's because of CM9, i switched both keyboard and Rom at the same time. But anyway from site you get the latest version.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
What I experienced from stock was reliability.but yes lag was there.it wasn't responsive enough.and when I installed custom ICS on my s2 I downloaded Swype from the website.and I've found it better but the lag is still there.no much change :-(

Thanks...so no other reason to not switch..i guess will update to the new swype and share my experience here
Ok update to the latest from the website ( uninstalled the stock using Titanium <- You gotta love that software)..anyhow after the update there is no lag at all ...before for e.g. when i was in clock app setting alarm, after i click on the timer counter to change the value the swype keyboard (stock) appeared in no time but as soon as i press anytime it will get stuck for two or maybe sec and then register with beeps and the value will change but with the new one (from swype.com) no lag there, no lag in writing sms so quite happy !!! IMO every1 should upgrade!!!!

i9300 not at all smooth? :/

Good morning.
Ive been using my i9300 for about two months now. Im a former iPhone 4 user. I have noticed that the i9300 despite the fact that it has quad-core and 1GB RAM, is not at all smooth :/ I always get lag in the Homescreen and in the settings etc etc. I've tried like 20 ROMS or so :/ am i doing something wrong here? E.g. scrolling between homepages can get laggy! That wasnt supposed to happen right?\
Im currently at MIUI 2.9.14 ROM. Maybe im doing something wrong when i flash a new ROM?
What are the steps?
I delete the whole internalSD, i perform a data/factory reset via CWM, i delete cache and Dalvik Cache. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

The rom you are on has problem of memory leak.
Just use a samsung-based rom. Your trouble will be fixed.

Yeah try that combo. Wanam or Omega Jelly Bean XXDLI8 leaks are very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
there are plenty of custom roms out there,
most of the JB leaks are much smoother than the ICS roms i have been using.( i am sure there are ICs roms that are smooth as well , just that i have not tested before. )
currently on Omega v23 and happy with it, no lags. you may just have to spend some time experimenting which one is to your preference.
Sir, I suggest you try out Omega ROM (ICS or JB) doesn't really matter, cause Omega is really really stable. I'm not prompting whatsoever because I'm on MIUI 2.9.14 too with hardcore speed mod kernel and it is perfectly great.
One advice, try not flashing so many ROMs at one go because it might cause system error such as connectivity to wifi or packet data. Stick to one you really like.
Edit: Do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware on PC Odin and root again to remove any bad 'history' and the lag too.
Hope I did manage to help!
Great day

If you want a rapid ICS rom then use Foxhound 1.4.3, it is quite simply the best ICS rom there is, and believe me i've tried them all.
Couple it with Galaxsih kernel @normal and apex launcher not much comes close to it.
As for Jelly bean, take your pick but just know that there are no final builds as of yet and all of them are leaks, meaning that kernel support is limited.
Thanks everyone ive never flashed back to stock before i used custom rom and i think that May be it like one of you suggested. About that miui rom and hardcore speed mod. It works on any MIUI rom or only on specific ones? If it does work on every miui where can i find it? I really like miui

You are welcome mate hmm what do you mean?? I'm using hardcore speed mod on my MIUI rom and I don't experience any lag (Provided you use apex launcher PRO too) I even have great battery life (8 hrs of hardcore using; with wifi or packet data On). You can definitely flash speedmod on your MIUI 2.9.14 and you will know what I mean.
Omega ICS on the other hand, is really stable and having that 'stock-ish' feel. But on MIUI, you know we rule the game.
Edit: If you wanna try out Omega, do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware (It will unroot device) then root again then try out Omega. It is really your decision.
But again, you know who rule the game with MIUI. Haha.
Great day ahead.

To get rid of the memory leak, go to ES Explorer, give it root and write permissions (in its options), then go to system/bin/ and delete kiesexe. You won't be able to use Kies anymore, but it'll kill the leak because it's caused by that process.
you should use the stock TW without scrolling wallpaper mod =p
I just prefer you to flash DLI18 stock JB from sammobile, wipe everything before flash, and I would prefer you to change animation scale and duration scale from 1 to 0.5,

Just a suggestion.... If you really like MIUI, but want a smoother and more stable ROM, why don't you flash the latest CM10 build, and then install MiHome Launcher? MiHome Launcher is the default launcher used in MIUI and it comes with an optional MIUI lockscreen as well. Once both are installed, it's virtually indistinguishable from a full MIUI ROM. Plus, it'll have the speed and smoothness of Jelly Bean with the stability of CyanogenMod (or as stable as a pre-release build can be).
Anyway, it was just a thought. Good luck to ya'!

need help with the cm10 4.1.2

Hi
I have installed the cm10 on my gt p7510 and I have to say i am having a very bad experience
Yeah it was considerably faster but i had some bugs.. stuff that gets to me
1 Volume control is horrible when using a headphone and when listening to music the sound kinda like lag every once in a while
2 when playing games where u use tow hands one to aim and one to walk like shadowgun.. the aim and walking both suddenly stop and u have to pull away ur finger and try again this happens a lot and makes playing games a bit frustrating
I do like the cm10 its faster kinda takes care of the lag I had on the official ICS I don't want to get back to it plzz help
So can anybody tell me if there is a solution for any of these problems or maybe a better build
My most annoying problem would have to be number 2 thnx
I've had the second problem. So you're not the only one. Make sure to keep updating through nightlies.

Good to know that I am not the only one
I just want the devs to know this so they might be able fix it
I already tried the latest build of nightly same problem
I hope the 4.2 wouldnt have such a problem

You didn't specify the name of the kernel so I'm assuming that you're on the default build that comes with cm10?
How about trying a different kernel? I personally suggest (and use) the a1 kernel as it can be overclocked up to 1.6mhz.
On the stock kernel I was unable to play gta3 because it was too laggy. but when I installed the a1 kernel, and setup a setCPU profile to o/c at 1.6mhz on the "performance" setting while playing gta3, the gameplay was liquid smooth.
So perhaps try that kernel and see if it irons out your issue.

I had no idea u could over clock to 1.6 I thought the limit was 1.4 I will try this definitely
But I don't think it'll work cause the game had no problems on stock ICS or cm9 ICS
But I will try if it solves it I'll report back thnxx
Just flashed it and overclocked to 1.6 GHz
noooooo luck still the same. U have the same tab as I do , did u have the same problem?
Just a quick question will overclocking like damage the CPU should I do it or what
Thnx again for ur concern
update
Update:
I think the problem actually is in the kernel
Heres what i did: I INSTALLED CM9 cause I just had enough with cm10 cause THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION
After I installed the cm9 EVERY THING WAS WORKING GREAT even the game THEN I thought TO INSTALL THE KERNEL TO BE ABLE TO overclock TO 1.6GHZ it installed oky ....I didn't overclock and tried the game again and I got the same problem then reinstalled cm9 again and the problem was gone
So I think the problem is with the cm10 kernel..... I don't know maybe iam wrong tell me what do you think
Any way iam gonna stick with the cm9 at least till the 4.2 is out

Here's the thread for Trinity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083885
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
While that ROM gets ok battery life, it isnt the best there is. Smaller ROMs with less features tend to get more battery as they dont try and do so much stuff. But still, I dont see a problem with AOKP PUB, it still is ok enough on battery. The kernel has a lot to do with battery since it controls your CPU speed, scheduler (which some use more or less CPU), and GPU, as well as voltages. So the right kernel combo can give much better or worse battery life.
Alright so i booted into recovery mode and installed the trinity kernel. Now once i cleared cache/dalvik and fixed permissions, i have booted up and in settings it still says the kernel is: 3.4.5-g3e87446-dirty. Its the same as before, did i do something wrong?
Its possible the ROM you are on has Trinity installed by default, or the kernel didnt install right. Also you dont need to fix permissions.
I'd try and reflash the kernel again, and post back if it doesn't work.

Kernel and app in the first link, premade settings in the second link if you want them. Settings get placed in the tweaking apps' folder and loaded from within the app itself

What does that app do specifically?
Allows you to tweak all kernel related settings
All i really need is better battery life lol
Then use enigma1987 settings as a base for further optimization. Read the forum to get the knowledge about the different options that the Tweaker app offers and adjust them on your own taste. I am getting an average of 8h+ screen on time with good performance
Well when the next KTManta kernel version comes out I will be putting out a new version of the "Butterlicious" settings as there are major changes to the kernel. In addition I will also post a pre-made settings file designed entirely around best battery life. Talha746, can you please list out the things you do most on your tablet? And any games you play regularly?
I basically watch videos and play emulators and surf the web. But as of installing this kernel, i cant even play a single video file! It keeps crashing and turning off my device, any ideas?
