Default [Q] Lagging screen?

So...

I have been noticing that when I drag my finger side to side very slowly, the screen initially does not move and then catches up. So it looks like it's lagging a bit. Once it catches up though it's fine..
Maybe I am being a paranoid.. but the screen does not move side to side smoothly.
I am not sure if it's been doing that before I've done anything to it (root, mod, etc).
Is this normal? Any thoughts?

Try getting it to mess up after a fresh reboot and making sure as many programs as possible are *not* running.

If your phone is the I777 and you already have a kernel that allow you to overclock (entropy's) try turning the processor down low and see if it's worse and compare it to the speed turned up high.

If it's the same and definitely lagging there may be some system tweaks needed.

If it's not the I777, well I'm genuinely sorry.

I went back to the state where it had been only rooted and tried and I've experienced the same thing...
I am not sure what the problem might be...
So I guess there is a problem? and this is not supposed to lag like this?

Also, this is only when I drag it very slowly. It is barely noticeable when I do it as I would normally.

Thanks for your reply

Not sure what could be causing that. I just tried using tw launcher and couldn't seem to get mine to mess up.

Are you talking sliding left and right on your home screen or app drawer?

I may see what you're talking about. I think it's ok.

The phone has to figure out if you're pressing to select something on the screen or going to slide back and forth, thus the slight stutter from your finger going slow.

Since it's not noticeable at normal scrolling speeds you should be fine, otherwise you should be able to see it more so there.

Additional Question.

I may be wrong, but this may have been after I modified twlauncher with a mod.
Could this be the cause? If so, can it be fixed?

Depends. What did you do to mod it?

Well you asked for the right thing on that thread to revert. Each of the files that mod replaced will have to be put back.

You can wait and hope someone comes up with a cwm package to revert. Or use a program like root explorer to replace the files one by one from a stock rom.

I usually just go for flashing my entire phone when I'm looking at what you're doing. It's easy and it's quick.
