Ummm... I don't think so - there is different screen resolution for a start which would probably cause issues with the replacement files fir JIT.
I haven't tried as I haven't got one but if you are famulier with SEUS and feeling brave then give it a try!!!
BTW: I am not responsible if this is put onto an X8 since it hasn't been tested!
I'm currently switching between Manny's Xtreme Theme and Shiv's Gingerbread Nexus S edition, they are both really nice looking themes.
(I think Gingerbread is a bit more stable/quicker, and has a nicer battery icon in the notification bar, it also has a cool little android in the pull down notification menu.. its the little details)
but Manny's Xtreme theme has really beautiful Application Menu's (like in launcher pro when you press the menu button you get the box at the bottom and all the icons are colored and look really sweet.. )
yes, Iridium Rom is fast.. (but for your average user not really that functional, as it is too customised to one user's taste.. once you start installing your own widgets, home launcher, and apps its becomes just as slow as any other Rom. (I have tested this with Linepack and Quadrant)
This is just my personal opinion and of course everyone has their own taste's the only way you can get a Rom/theme perfect for you is to either make it yourself or combine several existing ones and take what you like from each (which is what I might do with Gingerbread and Xtreme because I really cant decide which little features I can live without)
Good luck.. and have a play, with xRecovery its so easy to switch and swap (just make a backup in xRecovrey first so you can always revert)

Hmm,
after ~50apps and several widgets, i still get 7600+ in linpack and 600 in quadrant.
Overall experience is still fast.
So what is your setup?

Hey D_d
I have switched back to Shiv's Gingerbread nexus S Theme at the moment.. but please don't take my comment the wrong way.. I'm just trying to point out its not just the Rom that effects speed.. its a combination of things.. the Home launcher, apps and widgets that are running too, I was getting quick Quadrant scores running your Rom, faster than other themes/roms (590's), but I didn't like the app drawer so I installed Launcher Pro, then Beautiful Widgets and a few other apps.. and after that the Quadrant scores had dropped into the 570's-580's and the speed was barely distinguishable from other Roms.. My SD card is only Class 4 so perhaps that effects my Quadrant scores running your rom with Apps2SD (I don't use Apps2SD on other Roms) anyway, I think your Rom is the most out there Rom, so different from anything else I have seen.. I didn't mean to offend, just wanted to say each to his own. Your Rom in its pure form is still faster than anything else
Sincerely
Kiwi

Hey!
I wasn't offended in any way, sorry if it sounded like that!
What i meant was, that i always look for ways to tweak things up, a liiiittle bit more so that's why i'm asking about setup and stuff.
I've installed many many applications and widgets and i still get the same speed and overall experience plus the quadrant and linpack scores.
To be honest, i still use iridium's launcher and probably it's simplicity makes him fast. Launcher Pro is a highly customizable launcher, but tends to make our phone laggy (try Zeam instead).
And some other piece of info:
App2SD plus the dalvik2SD mod can run properly (and fast), even on class 2 sdcards! (The only laggy part is during the installation of an app, probably +/- ~2seconds). So don't worry about lag with this script.
On the contrary, if you move your /data/data on ext3 partition, you will score more than 800 in quadrant but your phone will get so laggy that it will become unusable anymore (unless you have a class 10 sd)
PS: Purple is the new black. Once you go purple, you never go back, lol
Regards, D_d
@D_d
Sweet.. the last thing I want to do is offend anyone..
And thanks for the Apps2sd tips.. I have used that in the past.. but I find it causes a few issues every time my P.C mounts the ext3 partition on the phone... (I run Ubuntu and it seems to always mount both my phone SD partitions without me telling it to )
I'm waiting for a Froyo type Apps2sd where you can select what apps go where.
I use Launcher Pro Plus (mostly for the widget resize, LP widgets and scrolling dockbar) Zeam's dock bar is really screwy, no fixed scroll, you can only have one App drawer button on it and no custom dock backgrounds.. plus no widget resizing.. but then again.. I also drive an old Citroen so slower speeds obviously aren't an issue for me
I´d used MiniCM6 (great Froyo based ROM) and MiniCM7 (not so good as MiniCM6) for a long time. Now I´m using GingerDX (based on MiniCM7 and ported from Xperia X8 to X10mini) and I´m very happy, it is fast and very powerfull. Some bugs need external programs like Smart Caller ID (free on Android Market) for a correct caller identification (the screen cover the ID on original rom).
[]s
I think that if you haven't got a rom yet, the best would be to wait for the official Clockworkmod team to make their official port of CM7 (they say it's coming up)
I personally use the awsome GinToniC SE by slades87, but i don't know if it works on mini (it's for pro)
Long story short, about a year ago i got a Motorola Bravo (Android) phone for a few weeks but returned it because I couldn't really afford a data plan at the time. About a month ago I switched back to smartphones, this time for good, and now have a Samsung Galaxy SII.
The motorola phone had some AWESOME user-friendly features, such as resizing of widgets. Is this taken out because of Touchwiz or was that an older version of Android that's now obsolete? What all does Touchwiz take away functionality-wise? What does Gingerbread (2.3.6 to be specific) look like without Touchwiz?
I've yet to root my phone (the only reason I'd have right now is more battery life) but if I could reove Touchwiz and get some serious UI improvements, that'd definitely be a gamechanger for me
Motorola has Moto blur I think
HTC has sense
Samsung has TouchWiz
The clean Androind would be an AOSP based rom, like CM9/AOKP
I don't know if you understand me, I think I'm drunk or something right know can't remember
Oh
Galaxy Nexus is like what it looks witout the Touchwiz.

Make sure to go the MIUI route if you're on GB or go the AOKP route if you're on ICS. Those are good starting points if you want to see some nice UI improvements. If you decide to go AOKP make sure to mess around in ROM control.
AOSP stock apps on ICS (AOKP/CM9) are much nicer than touchwizz/samsung ics apps.
UI Ranking
#1 AOSP (AOKP,CM9) and MIUI [all ICS based]
#2 MIUI GB , Sensation ROM GB (Samsung based rom), AOSP GB (CM7) (LunarUI theme)
#3 Stock Samsung ROM or Stock CM7 [both GB based]
Recommend Choice is AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718

You just need a different launcher. Try go launcher.

I tried Go launcher. I didn't like how it was basically an OS on top of the normal OS. They both were running at the same time and I had to rearrange my apps to make them the same as they were. I just want the Android OS without the stupid additions/subtractions from Samsung/Motorola/etc >.<
However I have to say, I do like how Go Launcher doesn't require rooting

You do realize, right, that Touchwiz is a launcher too? And even vanilla Android builds use a launcher? When you use Go Launcher, it's not running "on top of" what's already there; it's replacing Touchwiz.
I'm sorry, but you can't have vanilla Android OS without installing it in the form of a custom ROM. Samsung makes their own builds of Android, which is what you have. If you want something else, somebody else has to build it...meaning the developers on this forum.

Maybe it just felt like that because I could cancel it at any time and go back and forth between normal touchwiz and Go launcher. I know this is a versatility feature, but I'd rather have that disabled, as crazy as it may sound.
But that's good to know. I didn't know a launcher was REQUIRED, just thought it was what most people did. I'll look into other launchers.
Is there still one where you can resize the UI elements and stuff like that?

As mattdm said, all Android builds require a launcher. Otherwise you'd have no usable GUI. When you were switching back and forth between GO and TouchWiz were you using a home/launcher switcher, or were you just using the default ui to choose one each time you went to your home screen?
You can have several launchers installed and use a switcher to make one "stick" until you decide you want a different look/feel.
Some prefer GO or LauncherPro. I use ADW EX and TouchWiz. ADW and LauncherPro are very configurable. VERY. Both have their ardent fans. I've not used GO.
PS: You do NOT want the ability to change launchers disabled. ;-)

CM9 uses the Trebuchet launcher. as it has been hammered multiple times, all roms use some sort of launcher. I'm not sure what AOKP uses, but I'd wager its either Trebuchet, nova, or apex..

I believe it comes with both apex and nova. They are fairly similar but each have a few unique features.

First off, Welcome to Samsung!
A little background.
AOSP = Android Open Source Program. Meaning, a open source of code editable by anyone.
Touchwiz/Motoblur/Sense = Not AOSP, they were written as a launcher/GUI for each phone by their developer (Motorola/Samsung/HTC). On top of that, these GUI/Overlays have their fingers into everything on a phone, this is why updates take so long. Google creates a new version of Android and passes it to the phone manufacturer, they in turn need to take that new version and paste their GUI/Overlay on top of it, this takes time and money. Further, once the phone manufacturer finishes updating, they need to give the software to the vendor (VZW/AT&T etc) who add more bloat/custom crap to the software.
Custom ROM's, are and are not AOSP, Some are pure AOSP like AOKP or CM (Cyanogenmod), they are written by groups of people, all of whom work in concert to bring you the ROM. Then there are custom ROM's that are not in the realm of AOSP. For example, I use Phone Bricker, written by LilChris here on XDA. This ROM is not really Open Source as it's written by one person, the author may give out the source, I don't know.
So what would your phone look like w/o Touchwiz? CM9/AOKP is as close as you'll get. Those ROMs use the closest to stock version of Android.
To confuse matters even more, there are Launchers, Go Launcher/Apex etc. They operate as yet another GUI on top of a GUI, inside a ROM. So you could have a stock, unrooted Galaxy S2, with Touchwiz and Go Launcher, and customize it to make it look like you want it too. Or, you could root your phone, Update to CM9 (running Ice Cream Sandwich btw), and use the launcher that they have there, or change that to Go Launcher.
The options are endless, read read read. I am new to Samsung, I came from Motorola where things are done quite a bit differently. I can tell you this though, you are infinitely better off with a Samsung phone than a Motorola Phone. Not only does Motoblur blow chunks, but Motorola is a terrible company as far as software updates go. Toss in locked bootloaders... anyway, I hope the above answered your question.

Okay, I'm 15 i started getting into android about 5 mounths ago with my good'ol "Samsung galaxy ace" after using it for about 3 mounths i decided that i needed a higher res screen and a proc capable of playing most main stream games (GTA. Nova 2. Minecraft etc). So i bought my beloved neo for theses reasons:
1. 1GHz Proc
2. 265 DPI (854x480)
3. 512mb RAM
After about 2 mounths usage i can't seem to understand how all UI interactions are faster and smoother on my Galaxy Ace?
No matter what ROM (ICS or GB) with whatever kernel I can't get my neo to live up to the smoothness of STOCK Galaxy ace rom, let alone a tweaked rom.
It makes no sense to me how a phone with a faster and better proc and more ram can't achive the same smooth UI
If anyone can explain to me what i can do to improve UI smoothness or how UI scrolling smoothness works in roms etc THEN I BEG YOU TELL ME!
(IF ANYONE SAYS "Buy an Iphone" I WILL REMOVE THERE SCROTUM WITH A BLUNT SPOON)
Roms i've tried:
ALL ics rom (apart from miui) (ICS roms are WAY too laggy for usage)
Most gingerbread roms apart from:
SE tweaked (couldent get it working)
any MIUI (Y WOULD I WANT MY PHONE TO LOOK LIKE AN IPHONE APPLE ARE ****)
I have treid super charge on lots of roms, dont really see or feel difference to scrolling.
Currently im using Stock .62 as it is by fair the smoothest rom for neo.
Thanks for anyone who can point me in right direction or explain y UI isnt smooth.
Sorry for ranting, Josh. (moonytoonyking)
root and launchers
I dont know if this would help you but, have you tried installing replacement launchers? such as Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher EX? they have both smooth UI scrolling interface. Also smooth app drawer UIs. In fairness to Xperia Neo, It has smooth scrolling. Are you sure you are not running too much apps in the background which makes your device slower? Are you rooted? If you are rooted, then I bet you get control of your device, Disabling (unnecessary) background apps, taking control of your CPU/RAM. You could also install Chainfire 3d which would help you a lot in playing games (in terms of hardware enhancements)
Give us details about your mobile, and I mean details so we could help you out mate.
If you're looking for absolute smoothness go for cm7.2, but use other launcher than adw, it lags, at least for me.
Have you tried cm9? it is the fastest rom ive ever tried, i tweaked it for faster and battery friendly.
And its awesome mate.

Have you ever considered about the fact that comparing to Neo,galaxy ace got a lower resolution.Anyway try removing bloatware and use a custom launcher like apex.

There are loads of way to make your phone faster and smoother this is how I do it
1: Over Clock to the highest possible even tho it says recommended not to lol just wack it up lol
2: Memory Booster - I like this app just because ever 10 mins I set it up to boot to get ram back up
3: Launcher on ICS at the min so I been using Apex or Nova launcher on gingerbread I would use ADW or Stock
4: SD Maid - Clears all the junk that your phone make for you from internet and other apps

it's rather strange for you to tell me Neo's Scolling is laggy...
to me...it is more smooth than SII and iPhone 4... without root and mod.
U may try 3rd launcher like SPB Shell, AdW EX, Go EX and Launcher Pro.
Also, u may want to enable GPU rendering (HW acc.) of launcher
Hope these help...
I suggest you to use this ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570499 combined with Apex Launcher and NightElf kernel v1.0 RC2 lite...The only problem is that many games aren't optimized for ICS,but the UI it's way smoother than Galaxy S2 or even Galaxy Nexus,plus that the battery life is amazing (use setCpu to underclock the processor when screen is off,i'm using it @245-460 mhz w screen off,and 245-1024 mhz in normal use,and battery life is deffinitely improved (in stand-by it drained 1% in 5 hours).
Thanks for all the replies
I've tried a load of launchers my fav for GB being ADW and for ICS being Apex.
they work well and usaly improve smoothness. BTW i agree that neo is smoother than Gs2 (on stock) but not Galaxy Nexus, that is super smooth.
I have root.
Overclock helps to an extent but if rom is unsmooth it dosent do much.
Havent tried that I-scream ROM as i have found that all SEMC based ICS roms LAG really badly, however since you recomend it i will try. I have been reading up on things like swap and zram but im not sure if they will improve my speed much?
Again thanks for all the help I LOVE XDA'ers

If you still experience some lag, try turning off scrolling cache, force disable, on cm options.
I have about 30 apps i install and don't experience any lag.

Hi all !
I have been using many different custom jellybean rome over the last month or so and have realised that they all have a noticable lag when you try to open the dialler or contacts from the home page especially for the 1st time or after you open the task manager and kill all running apps.
Does anyone have a explanation or fix for this as its really frustrating me and looks bad when someone wants you to add there number into your phone and see how slow it is to do so ....
Some of the roms i have used are : Criskelo, Dragon, Omega, Turkbey, Wanam lite to name a few.
Look forward to your feedback !

Thanks for your reply but what are these AOSP or AOKP roms & what does the abbreviation stand ?
Android open source project & android open kang project.
AOSP is the 'rom' originally released by google.
AOKP is a rom based on AOSP but with some additions.
Many thanks to both your replies !
So there is no fix for this lag in the normal jelly bean roms?

Does anybody know how to set dialer (secphone) and contacts as cached background processes starting on boot?
Can't stand those lags anymore on JB.

So, I have been using many Jelly Beans, now I am using the stock from France, last released on 10/23/2012, and all f... JB have the lag when you try open the dialer or contacts because they are not cached background on boot, but the useless "help" icon, it is!
Does anybody know how to set dialer (secphone) and contacts as cached background processes starting on boot?
Can't stand those lags anymore on JB.
Thanks

Exactly the same for me. The dialer, call log and favourites contacts performance is a pain in the... I can't understand how a firmware is realesed where one of the most important apk is not working properly. My solution has been exdialer (which is working flawlessly).
sometimes I think, this is the difference between Samsung and Apple products (I hate to admit that)

Yes, ex dialer, nova launcher. ... did i buy galaxy s3 or some zte blade? !?!
Does anyone have the solution for this? Now I'm on 4.1.2, and the lag is still there, I can't believe , didn't anybody complain about it? Samsung doesn't have an answer for that? Is it impossible to make a fix?

it is because contacts & dialer are not kept in memory. There is a big thread in the General section about it already. Solution till now as I understood: use for instance exDialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807819
+ 'Whitelist 'Dialer/Contacts' on/off toggle (make sure Contacts stay in memory.. removes the lag!)

Exactly the same here. Even stock jb has this Lag. Such a fix will be a huge improvement.
i just tried deluxe settings but it doesnt seems for me to do the trick. i am on omega v37.

it has nothing to do with quad core ...
if u install cm 10.1 it opens instant too. its just the bad software that runs on the quad core. and u think the phone boosts up all cores just for opening dialer? play heavy games on both device than u got the true power of that phone

I'm with ya.. After seeing youtubes of Sense 5, I'm a fan... As I always loved attempts at feed-based UI's such as old defunct *Spark UI, Slide-screen, etc.
One possible not-so-slick but vertical scrolling launcher with left/right swiping to go to screens with stuff would be ssLauncher, which is very customizable, but also very tedius and manual. You could take a screen and extend widgets down to make it a long scrolling "feed" type of screen.. Then swipe to screens showing apps, bookmarks, etc
But I am big-time hoping they can extract that Sense 5 Launcher. However, if I know HTC, I guarantee they've got it heavily locked into the whole skin, so it'd probably take a full rom port, then HTC would dive in with cease and desist notices. So to get Sense 5 itself, I'm betting you gots to get an HTC.
