Low fps/crack/lag/stutter in settings.

[nfsmw_gr]

Hey guys...
I can't help but notice fps/crack/lag/stutter when i scroll through settings and i think it's time i share this because no matter what i do it's still there.
When i'm in the launcher,everything's so smooth but in settings it's bad..especially when comparing to cm10/10.1 where scrolling through settings is a breeze...
Have anyone else noticed this?How did you fix it?
Thanks.

Btw i'm on Ultima 8.1.2 and [email protected] cpu+640mhz gpu but it doesn't matter really,the kernel/rom combo doesn't affect this.

Try activating "disable hw overlays" and "force gpu rendering" from developer options....it helps me...

You want the settings for best smoothness?

1.install siyah
2.change governor to lulzactiveq andchange scheduler to cfq
3.enable gpu rendering + disable hardware overlay in developer options.
4.set the minimum gpu clock to 266mhz in stweaks.
5.set touch boost to 1000 mhz in stweaks.

Now I guarantee you an ultra smooth experience.

Note : disable/kill media scanner or downloads provider service if it's using too much cpu.

Bala, is it not idiotic n funny to do all the above even after paying £400.00 / rs.30k to actually buy the damn phone itself.. The reason we paid so much to Samsung was to make all d above and we use it straight away out of d box...

Wrong you are not wanted .
Do you not give a thought for XDA Developeres forum and mods that have to move countless wrongly posted items .
Just because you don't want them in the correct section and is totally against what XDA exists for its not some fix my phone forum that you and other school-kids can mess about with .

No wonder so many senior experienced members steer clear of this forum .

And what does this have to do with the topic? You can lock the CPU to 1400MHz and the GPU to 800MHz, kill your battery, and it will still lag in the aforementioned situation.

If you actually pay attention while scrolling in the Setting page, you will see that the lag/hickup will only happen once any of the On/Off switches come into display and get rendered, if you scroll without any of the switches in view it will be smooth. I can already imagine what causes this; they're fetching the status of the switches in the rendering thread and it simply causes an overhead on the rendering fluidity. No matter what you do you won't be able to get rid of that design problem. Hundreds of other apps are completely fluid in the meantime.

Nice find AndreiLux.
I really didn't think it was a kernel or settings issue because i run at 200-1704 for cpu and 266-640 for gpu both with reasonable scaling settings so i think i'm fine.
Also true,in almost any other app everything is smooth as it should be...
So in conclusion a dev or sammy must fix the settings apk not to lag?

Thanks for that.
Well,force gpu rendering sticks but disable hw overlays doesn't stick after reboot and i really don't know if it actually does something!

Oops,my mind totally ignored the word "settings" in your post.

@andrei

Nice find Andrei. Any solutions for that?

The settings need to be reprogrammed. I tried to get rid of that lag because I thought it was because of the kernel, but then I saw that it only happens when the switches come into display. It's stupid but you don't do anything about it. I don't even know if AOSP has the same issue or if it's a Samsung thing.

It's the same problem as with Tapatalk, it's a badly designed pile of crap and that's why it's so laggy, no matter the performance of your phone.

Take Flipboard, Reddit News, much more complex apps, but they are properly coded and thus fluid.

@Bala
It's ok man...
@Andreilux and all
I see...
I think on AOSP scrolling is smoother in settings..
Anyone to confirm this?
What should we do now?
Report to sammy?Ask an experienced developer to try to fix it?

yes, i can confirm. AOSP is 100,000 times smoother than Sammy.
edit
What i have found FIXES this issue is to run a LIVE WALLPAPER not a very graphic intensive one, but something like phase beam, or nexus 4 LWP. What this does is, it keeps the CPU fresh and instantly ready to render. Try it if you don't believe me.

download this LWP just for a test: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2lkd2FzYWJpLmxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIubmV4dXNkb3QiXQ.. and in settings put everything on MAX. and set the LWP. Now go try to find some lag
