How to make the tab smoother and faster in scrolling and internet-browsing? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i have tried a lot, but im still not satisfied and i also hope this question is allowed.
I dont want to buy a new tab, just get out the best of this one. So im running cm10.1 on it with interactive govener up to 1600 mhz. I also activated gpu rendering. And tryed out severals browsers. But its still miles away from the browsing performance of e. g. my computer. Of cause this tab has a lower hardware, but is the maximum of it really reached? I have more the feeling that it is software caused. What is your opinion, what else can i do to make it smoother and faster in scrolling and browsing, because thats all i do with this tab. Greets and thx for reponse.

You can either go back to cm10 (not cm10.1) or try cm9, or if you want stock, try Fourth bar revolution. They are all very smooth.
I'm currently using Honeycomb again (Task 14) as EVERY rom above Honeycomb for this tablet has a horrible Youtube lag/stutter, so I'm really enjoying Honeycomb right now.

hi guys i too have the same problem on my tab 10.1 lack of touch response, really hate it while playing games...is there any solution to this.

I dont think mine have such problems but if u all have the linked video highlighting such problems maybe i can compare it with my p7500..

CM10.1 on my p7510, very few problems with it, and it's buttery smooth (most of the time).

Touch screen tune app on the play store?
Mine is also running smooth on CM10.1 P7510

You need to change the io handler to deadline or noop.
E.g. Easily done with pimp my ROM app

1600 is much too overclocked. You're hurting performance and may lead to premature device failure.
Any speed above 12/1400 is just excess heat...UNDERCLOCK ing to 760 will add 20% battery life with minimal
If any app performance loss.

System Tuner

Anyone uses this app yet. It was recommend by Clemsyn on XDA as a better alternative to setcpu. I download the free version in the market, but the UI is a bit confusing. Seems like a little better optimization available.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I saw his recommendation and downloaded the free version. I its a little overwhelming as i'm still noobish, but it seems to have a larger breadth of options than set cpu. As far as its relative reliability, i'm not sure. There is no "apply" button for uv steps tho, so an unintentional finger slip can cause your phone to freeze! just try it out, see if you like it I guess

I have been using this ever since it came out it replaces a lot of apps out there and the CPU tuner is compatible with dual core phones and utilizes them completely. It has an app manager, auto starts, frequency controls, sd booster and many more uses. I for one think it is one of the best apps I have in my root arsenal .

I was using this for a little and noticed something weird im running the v6 supercharger scripts and in my memory settings the last mem setting would change from 275mb to 256mb. I tried everything so that it wouldnt mess with my supercharger scripts but no go. I unistalled it and everything has been back to normal. Anyone else notice this?

I bought the Pro version and am liking it better than SetCPU now that I have got used to it and have everything set up. I would like to see live update on the widget when the screen is on though. Lowest setting is 10 seconds.

Go to the bottom, download the last attachment...I've that's a pdf, beta 9 6.3. Next go to market download script manager. open script manager, browse as root, then go to you're download location of the file and click on it. Within new menu, clock on SUn near top then click run. Follow the instruction and when all the option show up select option #9, super 1000 HP. Let it finish when the option show up again choose option 26 to reboot. Let it reboot etc. after it reboots open script manager then go to this directory: /data
Look for the 99 super charger.sh file that was created, select it. In new menu select SU and BOOT. Then click safe, then finally turn it off and let it reboot. And voila enjoy your super charged phone.... I noticed a HUGE IMPROVEMENT is sharpness and responsiveness.

Pretty much the same in AnTuTu and CF Bench for me. What is smoother is the overall UI experience. I don't do much gaming on the Note, I have a TF101 with emulators for gaming if I want to play some mobile games.
I used to run this on my Infuse but was not sure if I wanted to try on my new Note. With no CWM to do a Nandroid backup just in case.
Just installed it and it works great as usual!
Thanks for testing this out!
I'll post the pdf in a few

I used to use that on my dell streak and it worked.
I find that ROM TOOLBOX provides a more refined way to alter the OOM settings, plus you can increase SD card speeds, access build.prop, sys ctl tweaks - plus u can run them at bootup too... It's a lot easier - give it a try
i followed the instructions. Can someone explain what this actually does, in English?
This thread should be moved to Development.
Does seem to make the device more responsive. I can actually use ADW EX launcher again. Before I did this it had considerable more lag. Now it's almost like using a custom ROM on my SkyRocket.
u have to be rooted though?
i didnt really want to root until CWM and roms are out
and something to prevent triangle and flash count
Root is required to run script manager.
Works great on my Note. Helped to smooth it out and give it a litttle more speed.
When I was on the Infuse a lot of the DEV's included it in their ROM's
changes the out of memory (OOM) settings - androids native task manager - helps keep your launcher in memory too, most ppl will notice that you see ReDraws a lot less and smoother/snappier scrolling

would'a been nice to know ahead of time, tx for posting Dave.
needs to be moved to AT&T Galaxy Note I717 Android Development i agree.
I used the Super Charge Script on my Epic and Epic Touch so I am familiar with how it makes the device smoother/snappier. But I do have a question. If you have programs like Facebook, Wordfeud, weather apps, timelines, etc., set to check for updates and alerts say every hour, will this kill them to free up RAM and keep you from receiving updates? I never seemed to have any problems with my Epic, but want to know for sure how it works.
Says i don't have
You don't have a /data/local.prop!
BUILD.PROP to be SuperCharged!
This can cause boot loops...
...so have a backup available!

Official twitter app buggy/laggy

Has anyone else found their twitter app laggy and slow to respond to touch especially when scrolling? Its really bad for me so much so as I'm using another app for now. I'd prefer to use the official version. Does anyone know what the problem might be.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It is gingerbread. There's a video on YouTube called something like "android is now as smooth as iOS" the video shows the difference when the GPU is allowed to regulate use in ICS.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Actually, it's laggy on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Note ...it's not really related to Gingerbread or ICS because the official Twitter app sucks on both and I've noticed it for a while now. Hopefully they fix it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Yeah, it has to do with Gingerbread, not the phone itself. I saw the same YouTube video, where the user forced 3D GPU rendering on ICS and the twitter app was smooth as butter. It has to do with Android not defaulting/forcing the full use of the GPU for rendering, probably has something to do with battery life. I think if you are on ICS, and have Developer Tools in the settings menu (probably some custom rom has this enabled) then you can force gpu rendering.
Read here. They recently updated, and the article was nice enough to mention the Note specifically!
I just updated it. It's not 100% smooth, but it is probably 100% better than it was 2 days ago. It was almost unusable before...
I update and found it to be better also

Is Twitter serious. to post comments smaller then a text message I have to ramp my GPU up to waste power??

Developer settings GPU

I activated "developer settings" in Nexus 10.
After this I checked option force gpu acceleration.
Now adobe reader and other applications are much faster with screen scroll.

Rom Toolbox should also be faster (for anyone who uses it); given that they didn't add hardware acceleration yet anyway

Thanks this has made some of the slow games run a bit better :good:
Google really should enable this by default now. Pretty much every app works fine with it on.
Does this increase battery drain ?

That's because pretty much every app is already using GPU acceleration. So for those apps, checking the box does nothing.
But for apps that do not use GPU acceleration (because the developer is too lazy to code properly) it can help. Some apps are written so badly, that they will actually break when forcing GPU rendering. Which is why it isn't checked by default.

Technically it should reduce battery drain, as the GPU would consume less power to do the same graphical task than the CPU (since the GPU is actually made for it).

Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app
Adobe Reader and evernote are the applications where forcing GPU acceleration made a huge difference for me.
Without it, big PDFs were extremely choppy, scrolling pages and zoom was a pain, after that, everything ran extremely fluid.
I kinda suspect it's because some changes must have been made in the way android used to force GPU acceleration form 4.0, and now, in those applications forced is not as default.
You know you guys now have to run some sort of benchmark tests or post a short video showing GPU-on and GPU-off performance! :laugh:
Is there any kind of negative effect of doing this?
I've noticed it a few times and thought of doing it, but figured if it was the best option then it would be on by default.
There must be a reason it is disabled? Battery? Compatibility? Kittens dying?

I think it's called "Force GPU Rendering" in dev settings. I enabled it and tested on an app that usually scrolls choppy and slow. I noticed smooth and fast scrolling after enabling.
It is not enabled by default because Google cannot guarantee compatibility with all apps. Apps that make heavy use of custom widgets *may* have rendering issues. It is something that app developers should opt-in for but often the developers do not, despite there being no issues. 98% of apps work great with it forced on.
It shouldn't cause reboots or the like unless a particular app that isn't compatible somehow crashes the kernel(not likely). *If* it causes an issue with an app then usually it will not render 100% correctly or at worst it will force close.

Annoying lags etc. Help!

i can understand that it annoys a lot when phone lags....
also creating a thread in wrong place/section annoys a lot of people around here..
so next time ask question in q&a section
anyways for your problem of lagging..
- disable all animation from display settings (will help in restoring few fps)
- make sure u are using correct cpu settings..
- make sure that max frequency set is 832mhz..
- for speed, preffered governers are, smartassv2, performance, scary, lagfree and set i/o shedualer to bfq or noop..
i use those settings..!!
- even if that doesn't help much then reboot ur phone.
- or flash cosmic mods by areebjamal
hope it works

I agree with srt99... I just flashed Cosmic Mods and my phone is now a flash. I recommend this a lot.

Or worst case scenario flash a different rom that intrigues you.
