There is an app on the play store that emulates Motorola's new active notifications now I know that the reason that works is because of the amoled screen. Does anyone know if the same level of battery efficiency will work with our screens as on the motoX? It works well and is really cool but I keeps the screen on.

Yea I am using it on my Verizon Note 2 running Paranoid Android 3.96 and the battery consumption is very low if not any more than a usual app and is updated everyday or two...I am running it on a 4.3 rom so I don't know how it is on 4.1 and 4.2 roms as the developer just released it for 4.1 and 4.2 roms

Well they're listed as being used for 'contextual awareness' and'natural language' so maybe the contextual processor has something to do with it. this all depends though on how those processors operate on a firmware level. big difference if they are simply nonconputing but aware cores used to activate the main application processors like most sensor processors or they actually run specific software actions like Motorola seems to be alluding to with the nomenclature.
I would suggest running a hotplug governor to produce a similar effect.

almost every kernel that allows customization has some type of hotplug governor, although they don't always call it that. Hotplug simply means it only (should) turn on cores when they are needed. theoretically, that means your phone should only be running one core to display the active notifications. do your research on whatever kernel peaks your interest and try it out.

Accelerometers, yes. Gyroscopes are now in many phones but older or cheaper phones may not have them. Reading around the web suggests most mid and high end phones this past year or so have gyros, but there are still exceptions. Searching the web also brings up a running list on another forum:
http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/308045-androids-gyros.html
This list is not necessarily accurate (Vivid has a gyro, and the Razr has the hardware but conflicting reports on it being engaged at launch) but it reflects how not all phones may come with this component. Note the Rezound's predecessor, the Thunderbolt, doesn't seem to have one - that was surprising.
GrayTheWolf said:

True, Temple Run probably does just use the accelerometer to accomplish its simple movements. Same goes for a lot of games. Gyros are more often used for accurate movements and are in games like GTA III and Asphalt 6 (though users sometimes get "bugs" from the gyro not initializing accurately and need to recalibrate it.)
Now, it is also worth noting that programming for backwards compatability ensures the app "degrades gracefully":
http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2011/01/how-to-use-gyroscope-api-and-remain.html?m=1
So an app may, for example, be coded to "prefer" using a gyro and accelerometer together for movement input for top notch performance, then roll back to just the accelerometer if gyro isn't there. Just the jist of things there without getting too technical.
Yes, the rezound has a gyroscope.

Android doesn't have lag. It suffers from low framerate at times, but latency is not the issue.
That said, the only place I ever see low framerate is when I have a huge widget list to scroll through.

Okay, just gave 1.1 a shot. Apps are in fact loading up faster when pressed but that's the only thing I notice so far. Can't have a final say on anything else because it's so hard to tell on a Quad Core device with Jelly Bean. But thanks for letting us know of this.
Haven't tried it myself but....
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/
There are valid concerns about lag and how the Android OS handles them, and there is discussion currently ongoing within the Android Code about this, but this fix does not address those issues and instead gives performance gains through boosting CPU speed. The developer himself stated that this could in effect reduce battery life, since the hack is waking the CPU every second.

I grabbed this a few days ago when you mentioned it on CTO (thanks buddy). I notice apps opening noticably faster when it's running. I have it set to "start automatically on boot" but any time I "remove all" from a home button long press, which I do after I've been on my phone for a while, the app stops running and I forget to restart it. I wish it would persist that.

Officially? No, it'll be locked down like any other release. After that? Who knows, we'll just have to wait to see if someone will be able to do it.
What kind of lag are you experiencing exactly? Mine used to stutter a lot more than it does now... here's what I did to fix mine:
1) Freeze/uninstall all bloat of course
2) In Dev options change all window animations to .5 (or off if you want)
3) Turn off Lock Screen animations (water drop/light effect) <--- this made the biggest difference oddly
4) Install Nova launcher and don't use too many home screen widgets
5) (Optional) I use a program called Clean Master which will clean up junk files and cache for you
My S4 still isn't completely lag free, it does still stutter from time to time during heavy multitasking but I think that's just the nature of a heavy skin like Touchwiz running in the background. Unfortunately I have ME7 so comparing it to AOSP is out of the question right now (I don't really want to run Safe Strap at the moment).
There are also other things I haven't tried like Greenify-ing apps and whatnot, but for now I'm happy with how it's acting.
Opening apps up and unlocking phone was laggu for me. I'll try what you suggested. I'm hoping I can either trade my phone for a mdk version or 4.3 becomes unlockable

I'm not sure. I doubt it. I have been hopeful that a dev is sitting on an exploit waiting until the 4.3 update to release it so there is not a opportunity to patch it. But as far as I know right now there is no exploit for the me7 boot loader and no prospects on the horizon.

Yeah, maybe my expectations were too high. I was running bonestock and it was the smoothest experience I had. But, the occasional home button lag, super slow dialer, and choppy performance during some game play and scrolling made the overall experience disappointing.

I know it's fun to bash Touchwiz but I think a lot of lag issues still hide under Android itself... I'm hoping to see good results with the TRIM feature in 4.4 (not sure if it's in 4.3?) to totally get rid of lag across all Androids.
I completely agree with you though, Touchwiz is bloated and heavy and I prefer stock Android over all others.
