See multiple posts on the subject .

Uninstall some? There's plenty you can do, read around to know how. Change kernel, use a faster governor, change your rom, uninstall garbage you don't need, etc...

If you are on the Stock Samsung ROM and haven't rooted your mobile, then go to developer options and modify the animation values
1. Settings-> developer options-> and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale -> change both of those to 0.5x (or 0 for both, for instant reactions). This will give you some speed.
If you want even faster ROM, you may have to root your mobile and flash a custom ROM.
I tried Cyanogenmod and it is very fast. You may not experience any lag. Note that you will lose some Samsung provided features with it like Svoice etc. They have a stable release 10.1.3 ie. jellybean 4.2.
This is based on my personal experience and there are plenty of ROM's to try in the XDA. Try reading forums, reviews from the other users and make a decision.

Try CM11 by temasek. I'm using it. It's much faster than stock firmware.

CM11 still have some bugs though it pretty fast.Maybe CM10.2 nightly or if you want stable CM you can try CM10.1 Stable version by CyanogenMod

Did you encrypt your device?
If so, this might be the problem since Samsung missed to update their Linux kernel for a while.

No encryption I gave done. Btw how do you encrypt the s3?

[Q] S2 Freeze problem

Hi all, I'm not sure whether this is the right place to deliver my problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.
My S2 is freezing frequently and I am having difficulty to trace down what is the actual cause.
My current running ROM is CM10 official nightlies.
I try to track down the obsessive running processes using WatchDog.
And, it turn out to be android.media.processing is running at high CPU (>50%) always.
So, I tried to disable the media scanner using Rescan Media. However, the freezing problem is still occured.
The freezing problem could be happened at any time(internet browse surfing, incoming call, sending a message, plugging charger into phone) and even during idling!
I am really out of idea, so I would like to seek any help from all of you. Thanks in advance.
Happened to me despite whatever kernel i tried on JB. Tried stock cm, stock aokp(the same aa stock cm), changmin's, dorimanx and siyah.
I didnt even undervolt plus i even tried to increase thw stock voltage values given in case JB requires more lower. But i cant get past 2days of usage without any freeze issues.
Im a heavy user of this phone and i charge more than 3x daily or just leave it charge or use while charge.
Will be testing leaked 4.1.2 today to see if it still persists. If it still does, im thinking of a worn out mobo or processor might be the case. If its fine, maybe those AOSP isnt much stable for some processors/mobos.
Was suprised btw seeing not many complaints over the issue across s2 section. Hardwarw issue or aosp stuffs?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Currently still trying to debug for the issue.
The phone works fine so far after I re-flash the CM10 without flashing the Gapps.
Now just trying to run the phone with some daily running apps like (Gmail, Facebook, Whatsapp, Line) to see if the freezing problem occured again.
I was worrying it could be due to faulty hardware since I accidentally drop it twice before.
I had lots of freezes, but on JellyBam it's working smooth...
My S2 freeze again while I am surfing the net. Anyone has any solution to this?

Im testing Leaked JB now. Survived yesterday without freezes. Imma report on today and tomorrow. If it continues to success full day withour freezes, im guess my phone cant handle aospJB stuffs

They run the same base which was CM10's main kernel n base stuffs. Tried all kernels and freezing happens on all of em (AOSP JB roms).

Absolutely no freezes after two days running Sammy JB Leak. Imma give it one more day till i go back to AOSPJB.
Notw that the uptime pic attached dosent show two days since i had to manually reboot the device after having some 'insufficient storage' errors n the reboot solved the issue. That is why it isnt showing an uptime of full two days

That's good to hear that. Please keep me updated. If everything goes smoothly, I might as well switching to the leaked JB.
Kind of fed up with the freezing problem already. My phone has just freezed for more than 3 times in a single day. >_<

Well, I am now to change to AOKP, specifically RevoltJB.
However, I get stucked at the bootscreen.
I do exactly what had been told in the thread in order to flash the ROM, but still ended up in the boot loop.
I tried to flash with the recommended options but nothing change better.
Now I am trying to download another clean zip file to make sure the file is not void. :silly:

Try AoKP official or Rootbox Release /Nightlies. Plain good and reliable. Im avoiding those non-controlled environment, super experimental and not much tested commits done in those other ROMs. Not to say that they arent good, its just that the devs trackrecord and status is a bonus imho.

Try another rom
If you guys got stuck in either CM10 or AOKP (I'm also stuck), try another rom.
I'm currently using ParaniodAndroid 4.1.2 jelly bean, and flashed a Siyah v5.0.1 kernel, which are cool.
I never get freezing problems ever after.

Paranoid are based off CM10 while AOKP and RootBox aokpJB are using GalaxyS2 specific stuffs from CM10 too. Most of our AOSPJB stuffs are similar to one another since hacksung are the pioneer who ported and built the base and improved over time with devs submitting patches to em.
But an issue caused by specific apps or framework is a diff case since those arent drivers/modules related and those are rom specific. Its hard to determine the root of the cause anyway -_-

So after few days using the official Sammy JB version, my phone did not freeze at all
Just the stock ROM is still so laggy as always. :crying:
Definitely going to wait for the CM team to come out with a stable CM10 and flash again.

Stable CM10 prolly wont happen till he get the sammy JB sources as we r still using ICS blobs. Now 4.2 has changed a lot at the base including hwcomposer, its a long way to go
Yes Sammy JB leak was stable as a daily driver bur im back on AOKPJB. After 4days of use, SODs and Freeze are back.. fuuuuu.. still, im used to this. Live on!

[Q] Normal lag on S3?

Is it normal to take many seconds to launch the phone, sms or similar stock apps? I mean.. seriously? Is it normal for a quad core processor to lag with a so simple app? My SGS 1 doesn't take a second... I'm using this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077844
No . I personally find no lag or very little lag. Use liquid smooth ROM or ultima Rom. Both are extremely smooth and do a full wipe. Make a clean install.

The idea is not to use custom roms, I prefer to use samsung roms as they're more stable and battery friendly in my experience. By the way, now I'm using the new XXELLC, it's extremely fast and it has a couple of new features... BUT the lag with some of the stock android apps like the phone, contacts or similar is still there. I mean, it's like it takes too much to load the app to the ram, because once the app is loaded, then it starts fast. I don't want to wipe the data because I'm too lazy to restore the apps and their data... lol

Yep, and voltage will make it more stable. Plus, stock means more likely to be less updated. Unless you are rooted you're almost certainly behind. Won't be able to take a hold of latest performance increases and fixes either.

Voltage will only make it more stable if the cpu manufacturing defect is above the threshold for normal operations and Samsung's quality control failed to detect it (which is not that uncommen, cpu's are very hard to test, especially in such large numbers)
Usually crashes are caused by software.
Sammy-based roms can be more stable if eg they include a kernel with fixes/bypasses for bugs found in real-world conditions.
At one point Samsung will release a fix but with carriers and ota that may well take weeks to propagate.

Major Lag

Hey xda!
I just got this tablet yesterday.
Ever since it first booted, there's been terrible lag. Im planning on rooting and slapping on CM, but I'm just wondering. Is this lag normal? I mean even as I'm typing this message, the keyboard is lagging terribly.
And on a side note, is the cm nighties available in the development thread stable? Including the kernel?

No. It shouldn't be that bad. Root it and run stock deodexed. Works like a charm. Weird... Try a reset on it aswell. Just in case first boot when writing things to memory it may have got interrupted

Not real.
My P7510 is rooted but it hangs after I had booted it.
Maybe is the system problem, or some hack may cause the device to hang.

May i... You have to enable wallpaper quick render in your launcher settings to eleminate the lagg in cm
Settings > launcher > wallpaper quick render > enable.
Oc your tablet to 1400 Mhz in performance settings.
Performance settings are hidden, you can unhide them if you go to 'about tablet' settings and tap 7 times.. I think... On the build number,
But from my experience is that you don't need so much power so i stay on 1000-1200 Mhz unless i watch video's
The lagg should be pretty much over.

First thanks for your reply!
1. Yes, that's already been enabled by default.
2. I'm over clocked to 1.2. I guess I'll try OCing to 1.4.
The lag is not in the homscreen per se, it's more throughout the OS. Lockscreen, notifications, apps etc.

He said he's not running official cm but i do :d well... The galaxy tab is way older than the google nexus, remember that this was one of the first decent tablets on the market 2 and a half years back, comparing a nexus with a gtab is like comparing a mouse with an elephant i think the 'lagg' what you mean is the 'lagg' what everyone has, ofcourse the gtab is slower than a nexus, but the gtab is terrible on a stock ROM, since CM, the tab has never been so fast, it can't compete to a nexus, but it can with alot of new devices out there with cm or cm based ROMs out there. And it's not like the tab hangs every 5 seconds like in stock

I've experienced the same thing. Mine is rooted on CM 10.1 nightly from a few weeks back. Even when I was religiously updating on the nightlies it is still very laggy. 2-3 seconds for the soft keyboard to come on or go away, 2-3 seconds for apps to even think about loading, choppy transitions. It is extremely noticeable and frustrating.

I use adrenaline boost when my tab gets laggy. It drops the caches so you can get more ram when needed(very useful for gamers like me ). But in these few days of weird lag, nothing helps, even installing tweaks and mods.

Use other ROM based tw. Its better than stock. Smooth
Battery friendly.?
In my experience 4.1.2 as mg4 was the most stable and fast stock version. After that including 4.1.2 and 4.3 stocks all were laggy and had less battery performance. However, I couldn't find any aosp based custom rom work flawless or at least stable. Each one has its own bugs. Slimkat doesn't support exfat, liquidsmooth was very very laggy and cm has some fc issues etc. As a consequence at least stock one is the stable one.

I was on 4.1.2 since i bought my s3, i decided to try 4.3 and i switched to Android Revolution HD 51 in combination with Boeffla kernel, and i must say performance is way much better and also the battery life, with 4.1 i got somewhere around 4h of screen on time, and with 4.3 i get close to 5h of screen on time, also to mention over the night battery drops only 1% if wifi on and 0% with airplane mode on, preety impressive, you just have to find your way to customize it for daily use

No my wake locks seem normal though there was a suspicious one, I don't remember it's name exactly, but I'll tell when I find it out, only thing I know that it's audio related but I don't think that's it... Other than that battery just melts leaving me with 1-2 hours screen time (on stock 4.1.2) I'll try flash a different rom and I'll tell you what changed

Hello guys, I'm a newcomer in the Android world and the xda forums, but so far I love it! Just bought a Note SGH-i717 recently, rooted it and now
I'm trying different roms. Now you said this roms has more options, do you mean customization or more apps installed that you can't remove from your phone?
Tried a version of CyanogenMod but it was lacking key features like the camera app crashing whenever I try to film. But maybe I should give this one a try.

It's fun, sometimes frustrating and addictive. Look out! Most ROMs list the status, bugs and fixes in the OP.

Yeah well, even if some people complain about Android being "complicated", well I don't mind having to play around with it a bit to find the best rom for me. I'm studying computer sciences, and I'm so happy to have my first Android device! :cyclops: I've had iPod touch 4th gen before but this thing is getting so laggy...I really don't regret buying my note, and it's so much fun to explore the Android world. I just love all the customization! And I might give this rom a try.

This ROM works perfectly! And you got so many customization options right there without any other launcher! I think I found my favorite ROM! Big thumbs up :good: :good: for the devs!
Was wondering, since the first reason I bought the Note is to draw, I was wondering if there was anything that would allow to set up the S-pen for lefthander. I know there was in the official version of android on this phone. Would there be any way to get this feature or to implement it somehow?
I noticed the cursor is more accurate when I hold it with my right hand though....I'm a lefthander.
Trying the rom out now. Glad to be able to use the CM11 themes. Thanks!
so at first I think "Spirit Rom"!!! really, someone made a cheerleader themed rom, yippee!
so I load it up and see a ghost in the boot.....Ohhhhhh, Spirit Rom.........stooped me
let you know in a bit

i'm also having the same problems other than that i love the rom
I just flashed uber kernel seems more responsive, but will give it a day to see if my wake up problem went away. one thing I ran a benchmark with the stock kernel set to wheatley and it was the lowest I have seen on my note, installed uber still wheatley and way higher.
