Not sure if this is the right thread to talk about it, but recently I flashed the 5.4 version of this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775998 and so far so good, it fixed the 4.4.2 S Pen problem. However, I've noticed that, when I use multitask mode (2 apps open at the same time stacked on top of each other), there is some light stuttering(?). Not laggy, but when I scroll it kinda stutters a bit. Strangely enough, this only happens during multitask mode, not if I have a lot of apps open in the background. This isn't the real problem though, the real problem is that the kernel seems to cause the S Note app to lag so much that it's almost unusable. Another problem i've found was that SOMETIMES when listening to music when the screen is off, the music lags so much that it's inaudible. Not often, though, and I dorn know what specifically causes it, other than the low GPU speed. The kernel specifically states this:
"GPU settings are:
Step0 54MHz = new Idle step = when in browser mode and no gaming this low GPU speed will help save power
Step1 266MHz
Step2 350MHz
Step3 533MHz = new speed foe step3 for better performance in drawing
Step4 700MHz = New OC speed for the better gaming performance
GPU settings are not editable and hard set in the kernel"
I'm taking a guess here but I think that the low, non editable GPU settings are causing the slowdowns.
Is there any way to somehow increase the GPU, even though it says that it's uneditable? Has anyone used this kernel before and found out how to fix it? Would downgrading to a lower version of the kernel fix the slowdowns? This is the only kernel I found that fixed the slowdown for my device, I can't really install a different one, but I can downgrade this specific kernel, which I think could fix it but I'm not sure. Are there any other fixes?
