For that slight lag we get especially going into the app drawer I figured I try switching to Art instead of Dalvik and BAM lag was gone and feels much snapper for sure.
I do think it made my G3 snapper, but over time it just created more issues than it solved. I recently started using Nova Launcher Prime again and it's definitely faster than the stock one. That's a good enough bump in speed for me for now.
I did this about 4 days after owning the device, and since then, its been nothing but positives for me. It also seems as if it REALLY boosts battery life (almost doubled mine)
I switched about 2 weeks ago and honestly I cant tell any difference. I am using Apex Launcher
What lag ?
Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
Just switched to art myself yesterday... The lag is nonexistence now which is awesome, but is there a way to make some of the app compatible? (I searched but came up with,nothing) sorry for the stupid question
The lag exist just a few secs in the app drawer when you flip through the 1st or 2nd page. To another post you don't notice lag if you use a launcher. I personally like to use the stock launcher.
Finally making the switch to ART today. So far, so good. I will edit if I encounter issues.

Tried ART on 2 separate occasions for roughly a week. Both times, I had random freezes or reboots every day or 2. None of these issues on Dalvik.
Using Nova Launcher and that minimizes apparent lag for me.
Turning off all animations helps.

ART has been nothing but positive for me even with Note 2. Only drawbacks some apps don't work and cannot use xposed. Oh well would rather have a snappier phone with better battery life.

Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.

the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

Hey everyone! I know some people have done this and said it helped but I'm sure there's a bunch who have never heard of this so figured I'd make a thread. What I'm going to explain is how to change the min free values and make the multitasking slightly less aggressive.
1.download system tuner (you can do this in the free version if you haven't gotten the pro version but pro is definafely worth the cost)
2.open up system tuner, grant superuser, and click "tweaks"
3.now it should bring you to a screen with 6 slider bars if you will and in the bottom it says presets.
4.click presets and then select very light.
5.(optional) if you want this to stay between reboots click "boot settings" at the bottom and then select "re-apply memory limits" and select "on boot completed. (I think this is only in pro, someone with free report back )
6. Enjoy a slightly less aggressive task manager.
Note: this will not completely fix the issue but it does help a bit. In the task manager app that comes on our phone my phones free memory would never dip below 110mb give or take and now it will go down as far as 65mb(from what I've seen) before it starts to close things. So don't flame if it doesn't completely fix the issue because this isn't going to do it, but its a start haha

Hey guys, so I got my S4 around July 4th and realized the same day I didn't like touchwiz. Got home, rooted and threw Dubbsy's rom on it.. I have been in love with the rom since I got it, never had an issue with gibberish provider name (except once) the lack of LTE bars didnt bother me because it still worked. The only major issue I ever had with it was my recent apps option stopped working. Well I just got the chance to update it to the newest build of the deoxed version and it has fixed the LTE bars and recent apps works again. It is fantastic and I really appreciate all the work you do! The ONLY issue I have is I only have 3 home screen pages. Is this a limitation of the rom, am i missing something simple??? I could use some help here and if it is a limitation of the rom, no big deal I can live with it until a newer version comes out

Dubbsy's ROM is nice and stock, with very few modifications.
If you want more home screens, I highly recommend simply throwing Nova Launcher on there. Grab it in the Market. It looks and performs 99% identically to the stock Nexus home screen, but adds a bit of customization. It's what I'm running on Dubbsy's and I've got no issues whatsoever.
If you still have a copy of one of the older versions of the ROM, pull launcher2.apk out of it's /system/app/ folder. I noticed the same thing and use 5 screens myself.
Once you pull the .apk replace the launcher2.apk in your current /system/app/ with it using a root enabled file manager under rw mode. Like the CM installed on the 4.9 edition or Root Explorer.
Once you've done that go ahead and reboot and you should be good.
At least, that's what I did.

Yea, it only changes the launcher. That's the only apk you would be replacing, and you wouldn't be using a third party substitute, it would be the genuine launcher since you would've pulled it from one of Dubbsy's older builds. I personally pulled it from 4.7.5 test since that's what I had on my sdcard at the time. Works fine.

Two suggestions are typically given when this issue comes up- 1: change runtime from davlik to art. 2: disable thermal throttling using a ## code on the dialer screen.

Interested to know if google now launcher from the market would be smoother for you.
I have the US998 on 20H, unlocked with TWRP, rooted with Magisk 19.1. Whenever the TWRP flashable version of 20H was released, I upgraded from 20G. For some reason my games are now lagging, where the screen will pause for half a second then resume animations. I've tried game mode which will lower the frame rate and resolution but it's not a solution. This happens in other apps too, but is especially noticeable (and annoying) in games.
As best I can tell, this started a few weeks ago, but I can't link it to anything specific. In the recent past I've gone to 20H, I believe Magisk was incremented, and the games have updated as well. Is there a graphics setting that may cause the half second bloop? I'm ready to wipe and restore, if I thought there was a chance it might fix it.
Nobody experienced this? Is this a general android question rather than specific to this phone?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-nfs-injectorv1-t3857231
You could try this magisk module. I would look into recently installed apps running in the background. For instance, I have the Neutron app installed and sometimes I can see it scanning for new media in notifications. What'sapp location icon occasionallly appears in the status bar for a split second even though I haven't used its location service in days. I won't turn either of them off since I use them both but I'm sure Neutron slows my phone down.

I didn't get around to wiping. At this point, whatever updates one of my games had last week seemed to eliminate it from that game (PaD). I also uninstalled some old games that I didn't realize weren't working anymore. I don't think I'm in dire need of a wipe at this point.
