is it me or is the ICS dialer EXTREMELY laggy opening and the xt9 dialing is always being on dial presses. GB roms = click on dialer and instant opening, this one i have to wait up to 3/4 seconds.
Yes, I have also had some lag from opening up the ICS dialer. I use Apex launched and I set the double-tap gesture to open up the dialer and it is kind of slow. BTW, it's hilarious when you say 3/4 a second as if that was so slow haha. All joking aside I know what you mean though, it would be nice if it was instant.

he meant 3 to 4 seconds, not three-fourths of a second.
Same problem here started a couple days ago. Whats even slower is getting the call log to show up. That's takes another 1-2 seconds. Weird.

Seems like deleting call list fixes the lag for me, although i wish it never would show text in the CALL LOG! makes no sense and fills up way to earily for me

I really really hated this on my GS2 and was so pleased they stopped listing texts in the "call log" on stock Galaxy Note gb. Now it's back on the ICS ROM....
I have definitely noticed some serious lag all around in the phone app. Takes too long to load, favorites is laggy when loading up and it feels like forever waiting for the call ended screen to go away.
Thanks for the clear call log suggestion. Will
try this.
Update: app is a little more snappy after clearing call log. Favorites still a little laggy and call ended screen shows for way too long.

Clearing the call log makes it much faster! I just wish I didn't have to clear it to do that.

Yes it does make it a little faster. Something is def screwy with the phone apk as I even got it to fc by trying to add a favorite. Do launchers have anything to do with it? I'm on Apex as Nova gave me nothing but lag. Maybe I will try TW for the hell of it.

You can hide text messages from the call log by Menu --> View By --> All calls. It makes the call log come up instantly, but the dialer still takes 3-4 seconds to load.

I tried exdialer and yes there was no lag, but I didn't like the layout as much. Mostly having call/txt log above the dial pad. I couldn't find a option to remove it and make the dial pad bigger

Download trebuchet from clockwork, it's the fastest launcher for 4.0.3 I have ran across. Do a Google search for trebuchet launcher XDA and you should get it, just make it a system app in titanium our it won't function correctly

Is that the launcher that CM team uses for CM9 ? If so that was a sweet launcher.
Edit: yup it is CM9 launcher. Loving it. Thanks
Right on, glad I could help
This is not good. I'm using stock GB and experiencing couple of second delay on dialer. I was really hoping ICS would fix this. I hate keep mentioning my iPhone experience but iPhone dialer was very fast and phone experience was much better overall...
Hi guys, give a try to Ray Dialer free app on market, seems to open very fast even if is not in memory , but leeks some functions like contacts, favotites and the option to add a new contact without having to call it.
My friend has a galaxy s 2 on stock ics (rooted) and when he uses his messaging app in landscape mode it splits where one half of the screen are the people he texted and the other of shows texts from the selected contact. It looks sweet and it would look awesome on our 4.8 inch screens. Can anyone get this for our phones?

I have literally had my phone for less than a few hours. But I thought it would be a great idea to share likes and dislikes.
Little bit of background, I am coming from a Note 2, so most of my likes/dislikes will be catered toward the upgrade from the Note 2.
Likes -
Mostly Everything LOL,
the screen resolution
the vibrant colors,
super fast,
the plethora of options,
blocking mode finally works,
no wifi nag notification,
wifi toggle works.
Dislikes -
The internet browser no longer sync with google,
can not use multiple lock screen widgets w/password or pattern lock,
4x4 grid on touchwiz (will be switching to nova).
I will update my list once I get to fully dive in. But so far 9.9999999999/10
I had mine for about an half hour. The best thing so far to me is the settings screen is 1 menu instead of 4 tabs . Sometimes its just the little things
Loving mostly everything, but again have only messed with it for a short time.
Only gripes so far is font sizes and in general DPI is just way too big and obnoxious. And lag when typing on the keyboard.
Let's go root!

We need root ASAP lol.

Yep. One screen.
Keyboard is amazing, no need for swiftkey.
Id rather have the tabs so you dont have to scroll dow a huge list like on my note 2. But ghsts not a big deal. Im glad you can use blocking mode, and the wifi is back to normal.

You can change that in the messenger app settings. Enable message preview and it will scroll the message in the status bar like normal.
I'm so jealous right now. I would have mine now too, if I didn't change the shipping address to the correct one. So they can't ship it until tomorrow. So i am going to call to see if I can pick it up later this evening...

Agree with pretty much all of the likes so far, which is mostly everything about the device. My 4G speeds seem to have improved too.
Some nitpicks:
-new S-Pen feels much cheaply made than Note 2's
-Flipbook keeps getting activated when I hit the home button and accidentally brush by the screen
-Screen brightness range is WAY TOO SMALL (minimum brightness is too bright)
Several complains: desktop view does not stay on. I do not see the Note 2 developers options. I cannot remove the Verizon bookmarks as I was able to do before and restore from a save.
I think u have to tap on something in the menu 7 times to get dev options to show up. Saw it in a review somewhere

dislike that verizon is giving me a hard to use that verizon30 code
Today I just got an error on the keyboard. It changed the color by itself from the dark gray to white but the numbers 123 stays gray.
Does anyone encountered this problem too in the past?
By the way after a few minutes trying to fix it and resting the keyboard settings I jus lock my phone and when I was going to use it a few minutes later, the keyboard came back to normal. So I guess it's a bug on the system. Does anyone have any information on this error?

Maybe too many apps were open and you ran low on resources. Locking and unlocking forced it to redraw the screen and had time to clear some memory. Just a theory anyway.

Nope...
If you have a Gear 2 or Gear S watch you won't be able to view or send sms from it.
Nah the only thing you're losing is stupid amounts of lag.. how this app can take a good few seconds to be usable is beyond a joke.
HelloSMS for me thanks.
Lol thanks guys, I haven't had a samsung since the s2, I just want to make sure..and no gear for so I'm good there.

What's the most customizable sms app, ive been tooling wth textra, liking chomp, tried qksms. Love being able to have different ringtones for different contacts, bubbles, etc. Ty for any input
Evolve is pretty good, lots of themes. Very clean look, fast, smooth.
I use evolvesms as well. The only thing I seem to have lost over the stock messaging app is MMS over wifi. I definitely loved that but I hate the stock messaging app more.
I stick to Hangouts. Simple and clean.
Not as many UI and ringtone features as other apps, but works well with my moto360 so can't complain.
Thanks all appreciate the advise
