Very well put shishir.....I figured the touch response is more kernel dependent than rom.... have had good experience with fluxxi on cMIUI as well as AOKP....but again like you said...it really is a step backwards from gingerbread.

Also on the srom....the touchwiz ux really helps with the smooth feeling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I would.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Depending on your needs it's better. For example, by default the kernel seems to keep touch response very linear. It doesn't like small precise movements, only large swipes or single touches. Samsung probably did this because:

They're lazy, unorganized people that barely know how to conform to programming standards and think and write code in the most nonsensical order possible for no reason at all and never write useful comments nor give any insight into why, for example, there are SEVERAL files referencing and using HDR in our Camera application, with shockingly complete code, but the function isn't working... for some weird reason (okay, I admit, personal reason)

Keeping a simpler touch response keeps people from calling Samsung customer service saying things like "I WANTED TO CALL MY GRANDFATHER AT HOME BUT IT CALLED MY WIFE AT WORK AND SHE GOT PISSED WHEN I ASKED HER IF SHE WANTED ME TO COME OVER AND CHANGE HER DIAPER FOR HER."

So if you're five-hundred-years old, I'd imagine you'd quite like Samsung's tweaks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] doublen1:
I definitely think it is worse on ICS than on GB. But very much Kernel related (Depending on what ROM you're running) I get major keyboard lag on pretty much any ICS ROM unless I am using the NEAK kernel. Only problem is it won't let me play youtube videos on Task650's rom. Why? IDK

/End rant...

BTW, I've tried your ROM and I can agree with your conclusion. It is smooth. But alas...I cannot stay away from Task's stuff. Its addictive! lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amobius:
I am actually running your ROM as we speak and enjoying it so just wanted to say thank you first and foremost. This is my first ROM since i just rooted a few days ago and I have to agree that my first impression with ICS was that the touch response just seems off. I notice it mostly when scrolling through menus and trying to tap something as it moves by... just doesn't work. Other than that it is just a minor nuissance. I use ICS ROM for chrome browser which now that I have tried it i would not give it up. I think i will be playing around with ICS a lot before i decide whether to go back to GB or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rmyc:
any instructions on how to go back to stock GB, the new att update is sooooooooo laggy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Yeah I'm honestly very surprised no one even touched on things like this. The only thing I heard of relating to speed up (other than "performance and battery life" tweaks to kernals) over time was that some roms started to have "hardware acceleration" which I found made things ultra quick in the rom. Transitions, screen swipes, everything. I just don't know how they could've missed something like this when it seems google did it like it was the last thing on their list (which they have clearly shown, by getting this implementation out so late). Maybe devs just weren't focused on this?

Yeah I'd have to say that I very much dislike it as well. I can also, see where they are going with it being an advantage in some ways. It does seem to be a more complex, sophisticated type of touch action (just basic observation), but it's incredibly less responsive in terms of sensitivty (I've used GB touch sensitivty on ICS roms...and it just makes it overly sensitive, not really GB touch sensitive lol - in fact I prefer default sensitivty more), which is kind of a big deal. When you're using the side of your thumb to press something, versus the very tip of your finger, or whether sliding across home screens via your finger, whether you do a short .25 inch swipe, or a full 1 inch swipe, GB registers the swipe, no matter the length, whereas ICS requires like at least a half inch in order to recognize it. Feels like it's a sensitivty for old people in a way. Nice grandma joke btw, lol. But yeah, that and obviously you can't even press things when the screen is still moving. It literally NEVER WORKS. I just wait till everything stops it's animation or movement. Annoys the **** out of me. That's why I'm on GB 75% of the time past month or so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kurant1:
I see you plugging your ROM here, so I'll just ask. I've had the trouble with your ROM and every other single ROM I've tried - leading me back to Binnacle7 with the Siyah kernel.

My keyboard will become almost unresponsive at times. I can push the screen, and the buttons do not respond, I can type a word and get a few letters of the word. I don't get it. Any insight as to what or why? It happens with every single ROM. CM9 was the absolute worse, Foxhound and Serendipty 9 seemed to not have the problem as often, but still enough to go back to GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Probably the unresponsive-ness we've been talking about. Try tapping the screeb from directly above your phone, not at an angle, if that's what you're doing. Also, ICS is known for being less sensitive so you'll have to press with a little more intent/force for the screen to recognize
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stickbo:
Thank you Op for bringing this up. I was so psyched at the prospect of ics roms bringing in hardware acceleration and with it even more speed and fluidity. I have flashed more ics rom and kernel combos than I care to think about and none have come close to the fluidity and responsiveness of 2.3 roms. I thought it was just my phone so I flashed a buddies and his did the exact same thing. No big deal really as 2.3 has everything I want and need, but I sure would like to update. I will keep trying ics rom/kernel combos as they arise. I would love to hear a scientific, documented reason, for the downgrade in fluidity,touch response and speed. The developers here never cease to amaze me with their ingenuity and hard work. I am confident they will get this issue licked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
I'm 99% sure it's a kernel problem. It seems like the system's getting majorly locked up when you're using your keyboard. It's happened to me as well so I know what you're talking about, but it's not particularly the lag we're talking about in this thread here.

So basically the problem is that your CPU's probably sticking to a very low frequency when you're typing on the keyboard, then your CPU spikes up to close to max and focuses on a specific task other than the one you're running. For example, if you had Facebook with Push Notifications running in the background, the CPU would try and focus on Facebook instead of the foreground task, making it seem like the phone's unresponsive. Try looking at what apps are running (and if you're using facebook, turn off the notifications) and try typing again. I assure you it'll either fix it or improve it. If that's not the case, then it can't be a hardware issue since it works properly on Binnacle with the same kernel as my ROM. If you continue to have problems with this device in this circumstance, flash to stock ICS from AT&T and see if the problem's solved. If not, bring it in to get it replaced because you might have a faulty device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
You have to change the loopy_smoothness priorities. Change the keyboard to a higher priority, this will make it much more responsive and less lock ups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kurant1:
Care to elaborate on this a little more? I know what loopy_smoothness is I've used it before with V6 supercharger before, but how to you change the priority?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kurant1:
Well I flashed to a CWM-flashable stock AT&T version of ICS and the problem isn't there. The firmware sucks, it's slow and I hate everything about it, but the keyboard problem while texting isn't there - it stays responsive. I don't see the problem.

Is there a way to flash your ROM leaving the kernel intact? Just out of pure curiosity I'd like to see if it makes any difference leaving this kernel on the phone that came with this ROM, because it works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
Can't you just take the kernel out of the rom? Find out what kernel it's using (zimage?) and place it in the rom you want to use, replacing that rom's kernel. Make sure the kernel is compatible though (thus why I said find out what kernel it is).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] knightsh:
I recently had a soft brick running a custom rom here. All I was doing was booting into recovery to change modems and it bricked while restarting-never made it into recovery. Anyway, I ended up using Odin to get in and flashed original gingerbread. My phone was already running a custom rom when I bought it so I have never experienced GB. Wow! Like in the op, it is smooth and fast. Played around for a day and then rooted and flashed a custom GB rom. Seems the same. Much smoother than ICS stock or custom. Had it long enough now to compare battery life and it is night/day difference as well. GB is MUCH better on the battery. ICS normally drains 12-15% sitting overnight even with data and wifi off. With GB it only drained 7% with data on. I have watched the new Jellybean video floating around and have to say that is how GB looks and feels to me. I just miss a few features of ICS mostly ability to group apps on the homescreen. Not sure what to do now. ICS just seems so slow!

Touchwiz GB feels like windows xp to me.

Right now I'm running ICS. Resurrection Remix port from I9100 + fluxi xx kernel. Awesome speed, JB transitions, incredible battery life. Fully customisable.

Can't wait to see a port of Jelly Bean though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Depending on who you talk to this is either the highest praise you could possibly give or a mean insult. Clarify?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rich.x87:
Before ICS, Touchwiz GB was the best Android experience for me.

Then, I decided to go all AOKP with the ICS Resurrection Remix ROM. After bearing with some minor bugs of early ICS ports for the I9100 I could never go back to Gingerbread or Touchwiz.

User interface is the main reason. Leaving the all colorful Touchwiz (windows xp) for a more sober and "clean" ICS.

And don't get me wrong here, I've been an Android users since FroYo came out, and it is my personal opinion that ICS is a turning point for Android. The OS becomes more beautiful, useful, friendly, attractive, seeks reduce fragmentation of the platform and evolves into a really neat and polished experience with Jelly Bean.

In the end, it really is a matter of personal preference.

Hi all:

Newbie here :D. I have been looking at the rom development page for ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco). I saw some extremely nice and cool roms (well done to all developers).

However I am wondering which rom gives me the best battery life?

I will be going on a trip soon and I want to be able to use sygic navigation (GPS enabled) which is quite battery consuming. I will need to use it for most time of the day I guess so battery life is essential.

Thanks in advance guys.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cronaldo9999:
I don't know too much about rooting for ICS. I rooted my phone since it's GB :rolleyes:.

Tweak some little things: root and uninstall not used apps (some app you can't do uninstall the common way), install some useful apps, go to settings and change some options for battery life and performance (disable Bravia Engine, FB inside Xperia, location services, some app's sync...), do backup and enjoy.

After some time racing for custom ROM, I ended up missing the stable GB ROM for Neo/ Neo V :(, but now I'm happy enough with KA 20.1 ROM.

The nook is obviously not a tablet. So i don't think a STD android home screen does it justice. It needs an eReader interface with added functionality. There has to be someone out there that can either take over the 1/2 finished launcher or make one from scratch.. any are you out there?

I have to admit the numbers look different compared to what we have seen on the forums here and somewhere else in regards to complaints. I have a B50 model and it totally got hosed with the ICS upgrade. I had not planned on rooting my Transformer and then finally did it and went back to HC. With 9.2.1.24 I went back to stock (still rooted though) and I am finally enjoying my tablet again. The last 3 months were painful and this finally seemed to have fixed it. That would reflect my impression in the survey, too.

The only way a survey like this can work is if it separates stock/ICS vs modified

As indicated before, in the other thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1628615

It seemed that 90%+ of the "satisfied" people were not running a stock/ICS device.

A lot of people aren't interested in tossing their warranty out the window in hopes of getting the device to function as it should have in the first place.

Once you mix the results its pointless.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] TheSpaceManatee:
Hello everyone!

I just thought I'd share this app I found from somewhere(forgot :p correct me if anyone found the source)

Smartphones keep getting faster, better and slicker. One part of the device that’s having trouble keeping up is the battery. Many state-of-the-art smartphones have trouble making it through a single day on a charge, much less two or three days like the simple Nokia phones of yore. But can anything be done about this, short of buying an extra battery? JuiceDefender for Android says the answer is yes.

Before we begin, one note. The link above leads to JuiceDefender’s beta version. LaterDroid, the developer, normally offers a free version on the Android Market. However, at the moment they’re having some trouble with the market, and have asked me to link to the Beta version instead. It’s free and quite stable.

When I started the app, the first thing I noticed was the unique look-and-feel of the interface:

Many say Android’s lack of UI guidelines is bad, but this is one app that uses its creative freedom to good effect. The interface blends copious amounts of explanations along with the buttons, in a way that feels natural and uncluttered. As you can see above, it starts off disabled by default, so tap that “enabled” button to get started.

What JuiceDefender essentially does is disable some of your device’s functions at times you’re not likely to notice, thus saving you some precious power. For instance, if you’re not connected to a WiFi network, JuiceDefender will simply disable your device’s WiFi radio. Once fifteen minutes elapse, JuiceDefender will enable the radio again, check for a connection, and if there’s still no connection, it will shut it off again. So you no longer have to remember to toggle WiFi off when you leave the house or the office.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] SpyderX:
Yeah, but Juice Defender has to have a service running always in order for its smart switching to work, wouldn't this drain a lot of battery? In the end is battery really saved?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] TheSpaceManatee:
I don't know :D But let us try and see ;)

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] dUnstein:
For me, DxBattery Booster is surely a better app than JuiceDefender. Tried out both, and ended in uninstalling JD. Dx's auto-cleanups and the interfaces are unique and life-saving.

In my friend's Galaxy Ace, it could make a 1% battery to last for more than four hours, on idle. In mine too, it worked wonders.
