Try the "TV" effect for App Drawer animation. You will notice it works decent but some stutter and lagginess can be seen.
If you try the same effect on a Skyrocket/CM7-based ROM, it is so smooth it looks like your screen melts into the app drawer.
Difference is roughly 25fps vs 60fps.
You have received your answer from TDJ who I consider one of if not thee best rom producers I have seen on XDA. I have had smart phones back to old TitanII Windows Mobile 5 days. I am sure if TDJ has time he will check it out. My experience on this board is put your request in once. If it happens great, if not, fine.
If you are running roms and OC to 1.8, you will obviously see a reduction in lag and better video performance but worse battery. Also from my experience the launcher makes a huge difference not only on lag but also battery usage. I personally get less screen scroll and app tray lag and better battery with launcher pro than touchwiz or other launchers. TDJ has customized Warfare for the best balance of speed and battery life with an emphasis on battery life from what I can see but its a damm phone, its not going to be perfect. I ran jugs before warefare and can tell you for certain that both performance and battery life are hella better on the darkside brother. I ran multiple kernels including bullet, faux and again, not even close to TDJ. We are very blessed to have TDJ rocking roms and kernels for us. Everyone's phone does behave differently, there are different roms that vary drastically, and we have a stupid qualcomm processor not exynos so you can't compare to Skyrocket directly.
That being said, what I have noticed from this board unfortunatley is alot of self righteous over correcting highty tighty attitudes, wth people. There are way too many people trying to be forum police correcting and criticizing people who make a post that does not conform to some BS standard. Don't make this comment or criticism or it may scare away or piss off blah blah.
People can make those comments, but they should expect an equal response: STHU, LMB, KMA, Etc. XDA is an open forum, one does not have to pass a FN test to post here. If someone doesnt like your post, they are free to express their criticism, but we are all free to tell them to STHU right back.
Anyway I work in IT and support alot of SGS2's for companies I support and most end users want me to bring them over to the darkside hehe. I have had alot of people with other phones and other carriers check mine and others runtime stats especially iphone peeps and they are like damm, hook me up too. Some have said, what, I never saw a 1D (1 day) in my stats before.
