How so? The Galaxy nexus is pushing more resolution than the iPhone 4s, not to mention the GPU is weaker. I ran ICS on my i777 (AOKP 4.0.4) and i can tell you one thing, performance wise it felt way smoother than my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (running AOKP also) especially in the spotify app (where the Galaxy Nexus stuttered more) and at the time i was using the ICS version of spotify. Riddle me this, are you saying that a same spec Galaxy Nexus as the iPhone 4s, same resolution, screen size would not be snappier? If you deny it then that's your opinion, but we'd be both working off of anecdotes, but again my opinion is the contrary, my reasoning is the i777 lower resolution and feeling snappier with exynos, not even on 4.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ste1164:
I have an iPhone 4S at the moment and yes it does lag every so often. Also temple run crashed on me today. So iOS isn't completely smooth it does have some bad points in terms of user experience. I can't wait to get a galaxy nexus and try out JB though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmil251:
If you live in the US then the nexus is no longer available.

*See mobileburn*

Although if you are not a US resident, I'm glad you are making the switch to android :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbell13:
Short answer to question asked in OP: GOD YES. The fact that live wallpapers work as they should again (choppiness is gone) is the biggest plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colts187:
I am think its much better, especially exiting an app going back to the home screen , much faster. You just can't make people happy without it being revolutionary every time. If u are looking for that go to apple. They'll sell u an android feature and talk about how revolutionary it is "On the new.. IPhone".

I really like JB

Will just say that iOS on the iPad 3 is always choppy when browsing without using Safari, say when you have to use the browser in Flipboard, Pulse, Zite, or using Chrome because Apple doesn't give access to nitro JavaScript. And happens alot for me. I love my iPad but, in these case, not butter at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eth4n:
Ok,more speed..but what about battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas.scott:
Battery life is pretty much the same as ics for me.. With conservative governor I get ~ 12 hours. I usually always try to be on wifi though.. Which isn't hard these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ClassickWORLD:
iOS and WP7 don't have true multi-tasking. If you get the right ROM-Kernel combo, yes project butter is FOR REAL. I made a short vid showing how JB handles true multi-tasking using swipepad. Smooth as butter!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txY8Vjy3UbY&feature=plcp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
I'll chime in... As I have been forced to have first hand knowledge on iOS, and it's "smoothness" you guys claim it has. My friends has an iPhone 4S running the latest iOS 5.1 (If I recall the version number correctly) and he always comes to me when iTunes somehow screws it up. So iOS has no lag?

To that I say bull. iOS is no more smoother than Android. BOTH lag in certain areas, iOSin some areas that Android doesn't, and vice versa.

Beyond this, you are comparing a phone that you could do anything with to a phone you can't. Many more things run in the background on Android then iOS, grabbing processor power. You add third party widgets like beautiful widgets or others, then it will drag you down even more.

iOS is pretty basic. Everyones screen is 100% identical, shy of wallpaper. No widgets, no real multi tasking, yet it still lags in areas. Why?

My friend constantly presses and holds the home button to bring up the list of recently used apps and he wipes them from memory insisting it makes his phone run faster. He reboots it often because at times his phone gets (his words) "stuck" or too slow and that seems to remedy it for him.

Sliding screens on the "app drawer" if you can call it that is at times choppy.

So to say that iOS doesn't lag or is more fluid than Android is 100% false. Both have their laggy times...

Tell me, have you ever selected something from the app store to install on an iPhone? More than 1 app at a time? It takes FOREVER to download anything and have it instal on an iPhone. Android is a couple of seconds for the same sized app. That's the biggest lag there is on any device.

Downloading an app on the iphone is Apples version of that hourglass of long ago. Zzzz.

I don't like Apple for many reasons. But that's not the point of this conversation.

If you're going to say iPhones don't lag, try spending more than a 5 minute test drive with it.

Sorry for my rant, but the argument of which phone is better holds no water. It's like comparing Apples to Oranges.

The only question you should ask yourself is, "Are you happy with what you have now?" No? Then there's other choices out there for you.

No one here will be able to massage your ego into liking your device.

EDIT: Sorry reread my post and corrected some swype spelling errors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I love my GNex and JB is noticeably smoother than ICS. I do have to make one point. IOS is smoother most of the time than any Android OS, although JB is coming very close. This isn't a slam on Google, but just something we have to live with. The reasons scrolling and other activities are smoother on iOS are a) the amount of resources dedicated to the UI, b) the fact that iOS has a very limited UI to begin with, c) no real multitasking which leaves more resources for the UI, d) its only one phone per year so it's easy to optimize the apps and OS for it. Now we can debate until the cows come home which is better, but I say it's a matter of taste. Some people like simplicity and wouldn't want to deviate from a grid of apps. Others like flashing ROMs on a daily basis. Neither is better or worse. Just like art, it's about preference and taste.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Yup easy to see its 60+ fps at all times vs 35-50 w/ ICS. Years and years of gaming allow me to discern fps levels/changes. Definately huge improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
If you strip Android to the basic functionality of the iPhone:

1. No real multitasking.

2. No Widgets

3. No Live wallpaper (that I noticed).

I mean strip Android down to the exact same basic functionality of the iPhone.

Then and only then can you make a true comparison of lag. I'll bet you all the tea in China that Android will be fluider than any water coming from a stream. Where iPhones lag just as they sit.

But as this will never happen, we all should stop comparing these devices. Its not a fanboy approach on either side... it just doesn't work.

Compare a Cadillac with better overall ride experience, but burns more gas doing so, to a plain jane Kia with no Frills and better gas econony. Is that a fair comparison?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xufuchang:
i still remember when they demo google plus app for both android and ios. the ios noticeably scroll smoother.

Here's a slow motion video of Project Butter In action.

It's nice to see the difference in slow motion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Project butter is absolutely noticeable to the naked eye. Only someone who has not actually used JB would ask a question like that. It's obvious within seconds of using the phone. It's a big difference. ICS wasn't that laggy, but JB is noticeably smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyroscott:
At first I thought that JB was smoother on my device because I had done a wipe along with the flash. After using it for a couple days, it is obvious that project butter was a great success. It is really smooth. Really amazing IMHO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
That's a very clear indicator. Google plus lags horribly on JB too

Some people mentioned Maps is a much more fluid experience on iOS as well. And these are Google apps.

Its not a major thing at the end of the day but people shouldn't be in denial over the lag issue. It is very clearly something to do with android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Why are we even complaining about lag...? Yes, Android lags here and there. But it's for a fraction of a second if any. It's a SMALL price to pay for an infinitely better OS than iOS or W7.

Use iOS and W7 if you want a smoother OS, but it won't be a better overall experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am not complaining. Android does have its performance issues, but anyone who says Project Butter isn't making huge strides towards correcting that is in denial, or an iSheep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjc_01:
Absolutely yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kookas:
Even the famously smooth iOS stutters occasionally. JB does stutter more, but it's a somewhat more sophisticated OS. Even Apple fanboys know that - that's one of their favourite criticisms; Android is not as simple as iOS. I'm not a fanboy, but iOS doesn't have to transition between an app drawer and home screens littered with widgets, nor does it have to render a mini snapshot of every other app in memory in a multitasker. Nor does it have to run other apps in the background, the much-appreciated 'true multitasking' we Android users enjoy. I might be wrong about this - I don't use an iPhone, I've only tried one a couple of times.

JB is incredibly smooth when scrolling through the home screens and app drawer, with zero stutter in those areas whatsoever as long as the CPU isn't under heavy load (just started up the phone, for example, or downloading a file at full speed). That isn't really worth criticising either since any system will lag under stress.

Also, I think the app drawer to home screens and vice versa lag is more down to a funny animation. It seems slightly choppy, but consistently so each time.

Sometimes it will stutter during animations, of course. That is undeniable. There is room for improvement, but this is significantly smoother than ICS. Even the notification shade, which was smooth in ICS, is smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cherrybombaz:
Why can't we complain about lag? Why should we have to pay a "price" to use android and sacrifice smoothness for features? If android became as smooth as the iPhone, that would be better wouldn't it? My point is that if consumers don't complain, then google will never fix it. Project butter shows that google does want to improve upon one of the biggest annoyances with android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshuajones:
Im not going back to ICS for anything! The smoothness and added features in job are awesome. There is nothing to miss about ICS; everything added in jb is an improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hmdz:
Improvements are obvious however

It feels like Google has not tackled the issue from its roots. Google has made JB appear smoother than all other versions of Android, but the smoothness is no where near what a highly advanced mobile OS like Android deserves to be. Android is better than iOS in 90% of the cases, but the infamous 10% comprises UI and user interaction and is very annoying. Seems like the following would never allow Android to become as fluid and smooth as iOS:

1- Dalvik's presences, which is very obvious in Android just the way DotNet runtime's presence was/is in Winforms. These Virtual Machines are supposed to be very thin and fast layers of code executing engines which are totally transparent to apps when sitting between apps and the machine. iOS has a winning ticket here since it is clear of this layer of code translation/execution. Programs run very efficiently in a resource limited environment.

2- Garbage Collection, which still causes stutters, and project butter can't avoid these hiccups. Using adb shows GC calls and UI stutters relate. And clearly programmers can never make sure they have avoided GC calls. Another winning point for iOS.

3- There is no simple way to fine tune an app which should run on a varieties of devices with varieties of hardware and Android versions.

4- Android needs good and better programmers. A poorly written code would run badly even on the best hardware/OS. So, poorly skilled programmers are the next reason to blame for laggy Android apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raydm:
chrome is way more chopier than my galaxy s2 !!! i gues its gpu is showing its age.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kookas:
Chrome is pretty smooth for me. It obviously won't be as smooth as the S2 because that has better hardware (and here's to hoping the next Nexus isn't nerfed for marketing purposes).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jastonas:
Galaxy S 2 had better hardware than Galaxy S 3?

How is so?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd0070:
I noticed right away after flashing JB that it was much better than ICS. Not so much "faster" but "smoother". Tiny details like animations when opening an app and gradually tinting the home screen when you pull the notification shade down...little things like that make a big difference. Everything just kinda blends together better. Going from lockscreen to home screen seems smoother; it doesnt just flash to a different screen. All of these things you just have to try for yourself because they sound petty but really make the experience so much better. They make the whole thing kinda feel more "stable" and cohesive.

Then you have the big changes which are the redesigned notification drawer and google now. The notification drawer is awesome, and I cant wait to see how google now improves in the coming months/years because its pretty cool already!

Just to get passed the kernel issues for a while, couldn't the devs use the working Gingerbread kernel in the ICS build, or does ICS

require

the newer kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] silentdoh:
Unfortunately it appears as though the Gingerbread kernel, even though it is working, is still too different from the kernels used on Ice Cream Sandwich. Hopefully someone can come up with a working one soon, but for now (especially 4.0 users) it seems we're a little stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] abtekk:
I'm genuinely surprised that no one has figured out this issues with the 4.0 kernel, yet.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] abtekk:
If I'm correct the biggest issue(s) is the camera and bluetooth not working because of the kernel. Okay, is this because the kernel isn't seeing the hardware? Or is the kernel module not able to be loaded by the ICS kernel?

I don't know but I'm talking about the 4.0 as we don't have ICS ready yet :(
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Hi guys! :)

I've been looking around alot but can't seem to find some kernel that suits with ARHD 7.1.0 ROM.

My needs are the followings:

1. Battery Life.

2. Better performance in gaming etc. I know ARHD isn't the best in performance but the kernel can do a job well. I used to get 4960+ in quadrant when unrooted. After flashing this I get 4500+ :/

3. USB On-the-Go feature. It's like a cherry-on-top feature. Could come in handy though as no ways to expand the storage. (optional if the performance is awesome)

I'm also a bit of a noob as this is my 2nd Android phone. So please recommend me the kernel on those requirements listed above. I might want a "Noob" procedure though :P

Thanks in advance! :D
[HTC One X] special-noob:
Stock is the best imo
[HTC One X] walaway:
Eiyher franco's kernel or bricked kernel for me
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Actually I was looking for one that merges best with the ARHD 7.1.0 ROM
[HTC One X] eyosen:
Check ARHD thread then. More likely you will find info there

Sent from 4-Wheel Drive
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
USB OTG is nit possible as the HTC One X's USB port does not supply enough voltage. You can do something similar with Eternity Project where you get a USB hub that has a AC mains adapter and an OTG adapter. It isn't perfect but it allows you to plug in up to 7 devices at one and costs around 5 pounds to get off eBay. It isn't really on the go as you have to be near a plug socket (or at least carry a battery with you).

I'm using Faux's kernel until the Eternity Project has less bugs like the WIFI reconnecting constantly. It allows you to undervolt to save power but maintain performance and I got around 5200 in quadrant.

Other than that, make sure Force GPU rendering is on.
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Ok thanks alot! USB OTG wasn't much necessary as long as it gives out better performance.

1 thing though

I'm kinda new in this so do I have to flash the "boot.img" of the kernel or the ROM (ARHD 7.1.0) i am using in the Fastboot mode. I searched on that forum so its not written clearly there. :)

And having 5200 in quadrant is pretty bad-ass... Which version did u use. b1 or b11 b10 or something?
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
B10. Make sure you get the kernel from the page in HTC One X Android Development called Kernels Repacked for ARHD, scroll down for 7.0.0 etc and find the right kernel.

Once you have downloaded the image and the modules, put the modules (don't extract the zip) into the phones' memory. Anywhere will do as long as you remebwr where you put it.

Go into fastboot mode. Put the image in the folder with fastboot in it.

Type: fastboot flash boot *name of image*.IMG

Once that is successful, go to clockworkmod recovery and install zip from sdcard. Select the modules zip.

Once successful, clear dalvik cache under advanced options in CWM then reboot.

Be aware that with this kernel you can lock and unlock your phone by sliding your finger across the capacitive buttobs, you may need to do this the first time you turn it on.

ORStoner
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Thanks for the "noob guide" bro, really appreciate it :D

OK so i can ONLY lock/unlock by sliding the capacitive buttons? :/

BTW what is this "Modules" thing? :/ :S (Me=Noob)
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Sorry for the late reply. No you can unlock by doing both, I'm just telling you about it in case there is a problem.

The modules are the resources that the kernel uses. If you go to the kernels repacked for args you should be able to download the modules for that kernel.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
This is the thread I keep referring to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654982
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Yeah I have referred to that thread :)

So its not like u normally do in other phones (like the galaxy s i9000 i had before)

Some kernels only require the flashing of the boot.img file, not the .zip file. But most of them require the flashing of the IMG file and the ZIP file aswell... Correct me if I'm wrong in these steps.

1. Place the ZIP file in ur PC

2. Go to the fastboot mode and flash the IMG file (like in Faux's kernel b10)

3. Erase the cache

4. Reboot into Recovery and flash the ZIP file

5. Wipe the Dalvik Cache.

6. Reboot your phone.

I'll do it as soon as my brother brings the phone back from his friend's house :P :D
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
That's almost completely right. Don't put the zip in the pc, put it in the phones's storage.

From that thread the image should be a seperate download from the zip.

Keep the image on your pc.
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Oh LOL! I meant Phone Storage. :D

Thanks for your time though :)
