Hey guys,
I've just unrooted my phone, made a full data wipe (with the mega wipe script ), flashed the new I9300ZSEMA1 via odin.
I reainstalled all the application I had.
My phone it's still (I've done all this to free my phone form the UI's lag maledition ) lagging.
It happens many times when i click bottoms and it has to load smth.
Apart from this, it happens other times casually, event though it's not that evident, but I see there's ppl here saying "my phone it's never lagging", "it's smoother than ever", "it's a beast", etc.. so i want to understand!
Here's my info screen

}
As said, it's stock 4.2.1, unrooted.
I was thinking about installing a kernel like Siyah and manipulating smth about screen from there.
Are there any other options? Which ones?
I've tried (without much of a success ) the subsequent moves:
1 Delevoper Option --> Force GPU rendering [ON]
2 Developer Option --> Disable hardware overlays [ON]
3 Developer Option -->Window animation scale [0.5x]
4 Developer Option --> Transition animation scale [0.5x]
5 Removing Samsung weather widget from the home screen
And that's my current configuration, for what it's worth.
Where would you go from here?
P.S. CAN I SET THE IMAGE RESIZE VIA BBCODE?
Is resizing it previously the only way?
Why are you messing with settings you clearly know little of? You should never have "Disable hardware overlays" on. That sure as hell won't make your phone smoother.
thank you for your help, i'm trying to move smth!
what does Disable hardware overlays mean?

Read this:
Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping.
Basically, using hardware overlays can reduce CPU usage by quite a bit, so I would leave it enabled.

no one?
Install either Siyah or Perseus kernel and remove bloatware which you don't use

Maybe it lags because you're trying too hard to make it not lag, which currently is impossible. Try flashing a heavily debloated rom like WanamLite, then apply gokhan's latest siyahkernel, then try "bestmultitaskingfix v7" and let everything settle for a few days.
Also, don't be worried if it lags a lot just after boot-up, it's bound to do so while caching.

that's funny because in the previous post i opened, blaming for the galaxy s3's tendency to lag, everyone was saying the opposite lol

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..
hi all, here's the 6months old question. Everyone wants this not only me.
Here's my question:

I want this iPhone/iPod screen ROTATING effect with the accelerometer. (Landscape/vertical) in our android. I ask this question when i was on android 2.1 but now its 2.3(gingerbread).
Also, i got this COMMENT when i asked this ques. 6 months ago.
"Once the new custom kernels are released with the FPS cap removed, screen transitions and other animations will be as smooth or even smoother than the iPhone's. I suggest waiting, jerpelea is working hard his own, as well as zdzihu."
So now, custom kernels are released and bootloader is also unlocked. Still, no one is working on this transition rotation effect.
work in progress....
Doesn't our phone already do that? Auto rotate?

I am talking about this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBcrdk0p1X8
check the video. I want this screen rotation transition effect in all menu as well as in homescreen
tbh, I don't think android will do that.
API must be integrated in the OS from the very beginning since OS itself need to interrupt particular apps to draw the rotation.
This is not kernel/bootloader layer but the OS itself, which I guess Google also doesn't want to have some stupid patenting conflict with Apple. (same to WM7, W8, WebOS, blah blah)

Excuse me dear. . .don't you know "FLOATING IMAGE.APK"? its an android app that can do same transition which iphone does while rotating the screen. But this app rotates only images only. But i want it in every menu and on homescreen as well
if u want that thing then go for launcher Pro in these u can even get the homescreen in landscape mode but not ur default launcher ..make Launcher Pro ur default launcher then even landscape works in homescreen !!

I think your english is so bad. M talking about orientation transition effect. .See the above video what am talking about. .u will know. .
anyone have their screen keep flickering especially when you click recent apps button in home screen and youtube?
the flickering is getting more worst and happens more often. btw it only happens when the recent apps is full of apps.
is it ICS bug or hardware issue?
I have it too, all of us do. It's a software bug that started with ICS. It is kinda annoying sometimes but I wouldn't worry about it to much. Hopefully Asus will have this fixed in future updates.
My understanding is that this is normal and designed to reduce battery drain. The screen will constantly try and adapt to use the least amount of power. I notice putting the tablet into "performance" will alleviate this, but will obviously drain the battery quicker.
that happen to me n i called asus n they said to send it to them but wat happen was i reset it to stock as new and wat happen was it seems it crash on men then all of a sudden it went to CWM recovery and stared bootloop which now i am stuck i put a rom in it and does nothing so now i am stuck real stuck

Happens on many tabs.
Running ICS on Gtab 10.1 wifi.
Screen flickering since moved to ICS CM9 (4.0.3 and 4.0.4) and yes seems more constant while the recent apps is full. I still think some apps make it worse and more constant, still cant understand witch ones.
Setting CPU to "performance" also helps, but like stated previously your battery will end soon with a cost of only 10% less flickering.
Cheers.
I'm currently using AOKP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718
My phone is stuck on the landscape view, and as a result I'm not able to unlock my phone since the full pattern grid is not shown.
Rebooting does nothing
I really appreciate any help or advice!! Thank you!

Hate to say it but you might need to boot into recovery and wipe data if a reboot didn't fix it.

This is so frustrating....but thanks for the note.
I don't even know how this should be possible.
How'd it get stuck in landscape mode in the lock screen?
Edit: editing this post because I found the option he must have checked to get this problem to occur. Its here. Horizontal lock screen option.

I thought I would add to this in case someone actually searches for this problem. I was just scrolling through the forums. Anyway, have someone call your phone. In-call, hit home key and you can get to whatever you need to to change settings (and they can hang up). If no one is available for this... kill yourself.. you have no friends... Just kidding.

Is this a real thing? Seems like a massive security hole if that is actually capable of being done on AOKP. What's the point of having security on the lock screen if it can be bypassed when in-call?
One more reason to stick with Samsung TW roms. On Semiv17, with lock screen security enabled, the home/back/search buttons are locked out if you answered a call from a locked state.

Hi guys, first of all, I have headache and I can hardly use correct grammer now.
My s2 has an idiot problem. I realized it the day when I bought but, I thouht that it was fruit ninja's failure, because I was sliding my finger and idiot s2 was capturing them intermitted. I opened developer settings and activated show pointer location (the one has graph). If I ove my finger slowly, s2 captures all of it, but when I do it faster (fruit ninja speed, my old n8's touchscreen was even better), it captures it intermitted. Then I opened *#0*# and tested my phone and the result was terrible. As you can see in the picture. Did you faced this problem? I sent my phone for repair and I will get my phone after 1 or 2 weeks.

Wfh is this. What an annoying problem. I hope warraty will repair it, because this problem will make me throw my phone to wall.
I still need your opinion. The topic was in 2th page and I had to move it up.

When you get the phone even if it's not fixed, then try these options:
1. If you don't have root access
-Download this App
-Run the app, and optimize your touch
2. If you have Root access
- Flash another kernel, Siyah, Dorimanx or Dream, anything touch related has been fixed in these kernels

I tried every kernel, but it is not kernel or rom related. I also tried a program which makes sensivity better, but if I do that, screen captures when I approach my finger, that makes keyboard unusable. Does anyone has this problem? I really wonder.
Addition: This problem is extremely idiot thing. Screen gets the movement but does not process it. What kind of idiotness is it (I did not say to you, to my s2 Dont understand it wrong)
