No ,He's right ,the S2 is a lot smoother than the note ,no matter what ROM\Kernel combination you use, the reason is discussed and believed to be the increased resolution of the Note (more than double the resolution of the s2) .

if you want a smoother experience then flash CM9 ,it's the closest thing you can get to an S2 .

also the S2 on ICS is a little more laggy than on GB .

I know because I owned both .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] richlum:
My friend has an SII (stock ROM and kernel) and my Note is smoother when swiping between home screens, scrolling in the app drawer and settings menu etc.

Both devices have the occasional stutter. But, if we ignore those, then my Note is smoother. Both are quite smooth, but my note seems to respond just little bit quicker to your finger when you touch the screen and start sliding/dragging.

I'm using CleaNote 5 and Notecore 14.1 with ADWEX (it has been smoother since about v9 or 10 of the kernel - it's hard to remember, it gets updated so frequently!)

We have different apps installed too, so that could be a factor too.

14.1 working great for me.. High ram usage has been there since ics so it doesnt bother me at all. All running smooth and fast as usual! Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MR.change:
does your friend have the g version? it's slightly less powerful than the standard GT-I9100.

two of the things that I noticed about my note when I first got it are the wrong Gamma calibration ,and the lower performance when compared to my S2.

custom ROMs do fix the issues but not completely.

that being said ,the note is a wonderful device ,and I couldn't go back to the S2 anymore.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

really?!!!

I got 4792 in quadrant using the standard kernel just now.

I wonder what will the OC version give me?!!!!

on a side note:for the first time ever I flashed a kernel cleaning script (syber lab) before flashing notecore ,maybe that's why my score is very high?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Taxiback:
My Quadrant score has also got slower on v14.1, I was regularly getting 5300+ on v14 it's now hovering around the 5100+ mark. It doesn't bother me I just thought I would mention it. My note is as silky smooth as its always been since discovering NoteCore. :good:

I hope the picture police aren't out today. :p

Hi, Gavin. I have done exactly this before I installed CleaNote4.

The other interesting part is that no matter whether I reboot and/or clear caches it never goes back to the snappy response I have just after the kernel flashing. And it is curious that even if I reflash the same kernel, it does not work. The only time the magic works is when I flash a different kernel. If that can be some clue?

I have some suspisions on several apps. Viber seems to be the main suspect. Do you use Viber?

I have plans to try a clean install - again format everything, cleanote install and let the system without Viber, the only problem is I use it constantly and in order to test, I would have better stayed without installing it for a week or so.

Other suspisions lay on the fact that the last time after I had my fresh CleaNote4 install I restored apps+data from Titanium and some 100 pages ago I think you advised against restoring data but I had already done the damage :)

So maybe I should ask the others that seem to suffer from performance slowdown:

1. Do you use Viber?

2. Have you restored apps+data from Titanium backup?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Taxiback:
Totally agree but you need to use something to benchmark going from kernel to kernel. The note is so smooth out of the box, I haven't really noticed any massive improvement over stock. I only started using NoteCore because I wanted to be able to wipe my phone without the worry of bricking it.

guys - those of you with the "slowdowns" can you try this kernel please...

(i only built the OC version as thats what I use)

changes -

Reworked VM settings

LowMemoryKiller form kernel 3.5

download - http://hecubus.com/xda/kernel/GL_NOTECORE_v14.2_HIGHRAMFIX_OC.zip

Please use this for a few days and dont flash any new versions I release until you have run it for at least 3 days, if possible without reboots and let me know if you still get the slowdowns and high ram use.

If this does not fix it perhaps i need to adjust my build.prop - its going to be one or the other :good:

oh, and no i dont use viber

someone mentioned they thought fast charging was back - i forgot to add this to the changelog but i did a teeny increase of 100ma to the charging currents - not so much that it gets hot but just a wee bit more than stock.

Oh yeah... Didn't thought about that :/ .

I mostly listen to dnb, dubstep and occasional (as in once a month) house/trance/electric.

That, too. If it only adds 2 more steps, as opposed to GB which allowed to a ~11 steps increase (or so, if I'm not mistaken)... it means that Samsung increased the volume from GB to ICS by default :) . Right?

What was the last kernel that had fast charge and by what amount was it?

My phone never got hot (voltage group B) and I would like to give it a try again. I'm finding when on a 100+ mile trip with bluetooth and GPS on I'm only left with about 50% battery from a full charge. When I used the fast charge kernel it was still fully charged when I unplugged it.

The S2 charger outputs 750mA, while the Note one gives 1A.

I've owned the S2. Charging currents never exceeded 749mA :) .

On the Note, the logs I've made show me that current input spikes even to 2A (at least for a few seconds, I guess). Also, it goes way above 1A (say, 1.2-1.6A constantly). Hence, why the Note charges faster.

The S2's 1650mAh battery was charging (at 750mA) in about 4 hours.

The Note's 2500mAh battery is charging (at 1A+) in about three hours.

Even if the output of the Note charger wouldn't go above 1A, but stay at 1A constantly (maximum), it still would charge in about 2 hours and a half.

Note that the charging current on the Galaxy Note does begin to drop as the battery charges up - behavior that was not noticed on the S2. On the S2, charging current was at the same value (650-750mA), no matter how hard I tried to stress the phone. So it does take more current, just like the Note, too, but only when needed.

Hope my lack of binge to do anything didn't make me write this post so badly that you can't understand... lol

Indeed, the two extra (CPU) cores would make a difference, but in games, a bit more GPU power would be required, too...

I tried Pocket Legends on a S2 running stock GB, a S3 running stock ICS and my Note. The performance goes like this : S2 < Note < S3. But the difference between the three wasn't very noticeable.

Also, the GPU included in the Exynos quad (in the S3) has a stock maximum frequency of 440 MHz. Stock on Note = 267. Overclocked (by Gavin) = 400. Still not as fast as the S3.

Don't let yourself be fooled. The S3 has two more cores, but the chipset itself is smaller, and overall better. The performance gain and such still aren't enough to convince me to buy one :) .

-----

I'm stunned of the fact that Samsung decided to put such a powerful GPU inside the S2. It really doesn't need that much processing power for that resolution...

The more intriguing fact is that the same chipset, just with the CPU overclocked a bit, can manage to process almost three times more pixels!!!

They could have made a slower chipset for the S2, and it would still be as great... the costs would have been smaller, I guess. Oh well...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] monomer888:
Yeah the Battery Monitor Widget mA reading is wild at best! :)

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before but unlike HTC devices which can give you an accurate reading of the current delivered/drained, this isn't the case with the fuel gauge hardware on the Note (or the S2). The best that BMW - and similar apps - can do is estimate the current draw/recharge.

Entropy512 did release a kernel patch for the S2 that was supposed to enable the current reading function for the fuel gauge. However, I'm not too sure how accurate that turned out to be either from personal experience when angelom incorporated it into the AbyssNote GB kernel.

I don't have the source links for these but can look for them if you're interested, but searching xda should yield the same information. :)

Is not about right or wrong. We all here having their own taste will different custom rom and kernel. You can felt s2 more smooth and responsive than g.note nothing wrong. Is very difficult to compare each other.

For myself, i had tried and compared into 2 categories.

1) Gingerbread: litepro litening rom for both s2 and g.note.

Result: gnote obviously more smooth in ui, menu drawer and less laggy when opened app.

2). Stock ics 4.04 for both s2 and g.note.

Result: once again gnote definetely more smooth and more responsive when open and close app.

Above just my own tested result. No offence to anyone. We all here love our g.note and other devices which cost us a lot of money. Im just wanna thanks to all great dev around xda to make our devices looks more polished.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] shaolin95:
Like I said many times before there is nothing wrong with Quadrant if you use it wisely.

Forget about the damn total score. Look at the individual scores.

Your phone is not a benchmark tool so process on the background can affect the results plus after flashing it takes a while for the phone to settle down so dont go rushing into benching and dont rely on one benchmark only.

Use Antutu, Vallemo and some well known real life applications that you can trust.

I normally mostly look at CPU and memory and as you can find on a youtube video on my channel, you can get very reliable results

No benchmark is going to be perfect so dont rely on just one and learn to get the most of each one.

I can predict my phone performance based on running benchmarks for the most part because after testing for so long, I learned what to look for so just use the tools wisely and they can be helpful.
