Hard one to answer as each situation calls for different orientation. Obviously anything media related (video, music, most games) will be horizontal.

Portrait so far, but I'm still getting used to it

Have you tried overclocking?
Do you have a lot of picture, live wallpaper, running service going on?

I know why it lag,
Forgive me if I say anything wrong.
First, it is a mid-low end phone. If I'm right,it don't have a or a dedicated gpu. And the processor clock is around 600-800mhz? (Can't find this processor information)
And without a gpu, games can't load well.

This is true. Your device is actually a low end device. Having only 128mb - 179mb (accessible) ram (which is a major factor) would cause lag.
Go launcher is a Ram hog! It doesn't bother the gaming performance on my G2. I suggest try a different launcher so you can get more ram. I'm just taking a wild guess.

I prefer you use launcher pro. I'm using it as well. Clean and fast.

You should learn about processor and not about the clock only.

scrolling issue

How i get smooth scrolling like iphone 4 in my gs3

The scrolling seems more controlled in android. By fast flick scrolling you can scroll past long pages instead of scrolling a 30 times.

Easy optimize the system correctly. Plenty of topics on here about that, search.
- Start with disabling unneeded Samsung Services (that usually Google services are already taking care of) etc.
- Remove unwanted Start-ups.
- If using another launcher, make sure it isn't the launcher at fault. ie. Many Apex launcher betas has problems scrolling..
Android is like Windows, Linux etc needs tuning and Samsung doesn't do a great job at it. Easy for Apple, same software on the same basic hardware config and its all controlled by one source.
Want that feel get a Nexus, where it's untainted and controlled by Google. If not be prepared to tweak it, fun for geeks not fun for those that ain't or have no time.

One question ... Maybe stupid but I will fire anyway.
I see lots of people stating that for full feel of android we should get a nexus, but I assume that this recommendation is only for those that will never play with ROMs, right?
Cause I know that nexus devices will get their stock updates sooner than others, but usually in a couple of days we start getting the RoMs based on that new version, with some tweaks. I see the nexus guys also playing with ROMs that have stock flavor but with tweaks ... So what's the difference?
Aren't we all at the end with a close to stock ROM with some tweaks?

Try going into developers options and set transition animation scale to 0.5x, makes homepage scrolling a bit better

Simply you can't.
Smoothest scrolling i get is using supernexus +siyah 1.8 with lulzactiveq governor, btw my wife's iphone 4 isn't very smooth.. Very jerky etc, it doesn't have original front glass on it so may have issues with touch response perhaps
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
Use liquidsmooth rom. Im using it. Its damn smooth. Even smoother than iphone 4
More over stop comparing it with iphone. There is no point. Iphone has no widgets or anything. All it has to handle are the icons, how tough would that be. More over the code is perfectly optimised for the device.

Nexus 10 rotation issue directly after finished booting

Happens this to anyone else ? It's very frustrating especially when i am showing my nexus 10 to Apple fanboys :S
I made a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQKVAzUN5Qw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Disable rotation lock and you should be fine? I mean you just showed in that video that you locked the rotation in portrait before rebooting.

It does also happen when i am just holding it in portrait mode, and i almost always use my n10 in portrait mode. I think it is just bad that Google can't just make an almost " perfect" android version.

Enjoy the games without lag

Not sure if you guys aware of this but apparently enabling 4xAA in Developer Options smoother the games. I tried Stick Tennis game with 2D GPU rendering enabled but it doesn't do anything but once I enabled 4xAA, it boost up instantly.
Will test in different game as well:angel:
That isn't the purpose of antialiasing

Not sure it was bugs of CM or not.
New version of CM without need to tick 4xAA which suppose given better quality but drop the performance. It run smooth now without enable it.

I can confirm this behavior.
On my stock N10 4.2.1 (no root / no custom ROM), enabling 4xAA boosts some games.
For example, running Machinarium without the option enabled is totally unplayable (3-5FPS). When enabled, the game runs as smooth as hell.
I can also confirm this... Need for speed's frame rate was poor on my nexus 10 compared to my note 2 (first thought this was due the much higher resolution on the nexus 10 and just played it on the note), until I enabled anti aliasing in dev options on the nexus after reading the tip on a nexus 10 guide site. Now it plays smooth as butter and looks better for AA being applied.
Could anyone else confirm on other games? Possibly explain the frame rate improvement?
Happy days!

Machinarium was very very jerky and almost non responsive before I enabled 4xAA. Its running super smooth now.
Whats the default AA when this option is not ticked? Is it higher or zero?

Okay, I might be an idiot, but I'm not finding the developer options on my N10 (or my N4, for that matter). I remember playing with them on previous tablets, including (I'm pretty sure) the N7.
What am I missing?

Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About tablet." Tap it.
Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number." (Your build number may vary from ours here.)
Tap it seven (7) times. After the third tap, you'll see a playful dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer. (If only it were that simple, eh?) Keep on tapping, and *poof*, you've got the developer settings back.

Im not saying you guys are wrong with this option helping performance in games but technically shouldn't enabling AA decrease performance not gain? I know that when enabling AA in PC game graphics options without a doubt will lower performance.
I just confirmed this with Slotomania.

This is what I'm wondering also, one would think that enabling this option would require more resources...
