Over-scralling jitter (bounce-like) effect bug? with custom roms

Phone: Galaxy S2 i9100 internation version 16GB
current rom: Resurrection Remix 2.5.3
I can't find the answer to these questions on xda.
I like to flash, but I noticed in all the roms i've tried except Spike's Pure ICS, that whenever i get to the bottom or top of the page and try to keep scrolling there is a sort of jitter/bounce that annoys me.
I've tried roms like: Resurrection remix JB 3.0.6, thebyani jb, rootbox ics and jb, revolt jb, and others.
Why does this happen? is it a cm and/or aokp bug? I just want to make sure what it is and if there's a way to fix it.
Extra question: Is it normal for jelly bean roms to take up so much RAM? All the jelly bean roms i've tried use over 600MB even if I have no apps and most services are killed. is it because its not as stable yet? It makes my phone crash after opening more than 3 apps for about 10 minutes.
It is normal mate, I find it annoying too but got used to it. It is not present in 4.0.3 stock rom but it is present in all AOSP or stock 4.0.4 roms.
As for high ram usage, it's the memory leak bug, but devs are waiting for sources from sgs3 or note 1 to fix it.

Fix for Core Count Xperia tablet S After JB update

Hello,
Before i start, yes, im a noob, but im here to try to help as many people as i can.
So after the jelly bean update on the Xperia tablet S, the tablet became laggy. The reason why is because for some reason the tablet only runs on 2cores out of 4cores. To fix this:
Before you start: Root is needed!!
~1 : factory reset :(backup before you start.) Why? Because when you update to jb and dont factory reset after the upgrade, it will be very laggy and buggy, Dont know why, but try it.
- could also just skip this if you dont want to back up and etc
~2 : install an app calld tegra overclock.
~3 : after that: open the app
go to core count
enable all cores
enable on boot
~done, should run way way smoother and faster.
Note: This app is a paid app. doesnt cost much, but its very very usefull.
: There is a difference between Xperia tablet S and Sony tablet S !
Hit that thanks button of this did work for you . :angel:

Try rebooting/re-installing the app. If you paid for the app, send the owner a message, if you found it on google, find a new one .
Works fine on all my tegra3 devices.
If it still doesnt work, try a root check.

Same issues I found that the cores were coming on but then being killed again and the min and max were swapped I would say imo there is a kernal conflict with sonys battery saving scripts they have in there which seems to me the whole reason the bootloader and recovery is locked

Hi, yes i noticed/think the same but i think its a glitch of the app, because there is no performance drop.

There is no performance drop because its not working in the first place we need a custom kernal or device specific permissions for the kernal to do what its told sony have set this them selves and unless the maker of this app has done the work then im sceptical for the moment even set cpu im not sure on buit I could be wrong definitely increased battery usage but im certain its due to the wifi cutting in and out its akin to a flursents bulb takes more energy to start up then always being on

edit
I dont think this is a real issue, i can get the same scores on Antutu as on android 4.0.3.. Games lag a bit, but i guess that is the negative of JB.
I like this option to get more speed on games but I dont really have a game that has a need for it right now.
Btw, i Think i found out why the performance drops alot after the update. I think Sony messed up the update, and made the update for the Sony tablet S (which is Tegra 2) And also enabled it for Sony Xperia Tablet S (Tegra3). And maybe that causes it to run on 2Cores instead of 4.

[Q] Suggestion for XU repair

Ram usage is around 280mb on my XU without any app installed even after I tried 4.1.2 v4 unofficial
I tried bloatware uninstall, hard factory reset also but still same result
Do anyone has some kind of solution or should I refer to Sony service centre to bring back ram issue back to normal after unrooting and locking bootloader???
Please suggest as when I first put official ics ram usage was around 180mb
Thats normal.
Try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2414390
Also, try using greenify.
But this was not situation before

I just want to undo that and want my smooth running phone which it used to be:crying:

I was extremely liking UI of Jelly bean on XU but those bugs and 60mb free ram broke my patience
and After all the searching and hard work, I m going for gb rocks v3
Hope It doesnt contain bugs I faced before :crying:
But most of the apps available now are upward compatible from 4.0(For example:Xposed Framework,Nova Launcher,almost all the holo themed apps)......
You may face some issues there..

[Q] Speed tweaks for Samsung Galaxy S Advance jelly bean update

I updated my Samsung Galaxy S Advance to jelly bean by Kies. And the phone became slower and laggy.
So, I rooted the phone to do some tweaks that can speed it up.
My question is what tweaks can I do to speed up other that flashing a custom rom?

1GB RAM?

I have the 8GB variant of P780. It says that it has a 1GB RAM but I only have about 300-100 free RAM everytime. I always kill all the apps but it only gives me upto 350, what happens to the remaining number? I'm not even running any apps in the background. Ever since the kitkat update, this never got solved.
