[Galaxy S III General] fakpuppet:
Indeed... and it amazes me to what level of difference in perception and expectation of the same thing are people capable of being. Project Butter in its essence is a metafor for smoothness and fluidity of the UI. It is not some utopian idea about an instantly responding UI and to look away from these quite evident glitches lags and stutters as a default behavior is to be entirely missing the point of Project Butter and being satisfied with the current Project Stutter. As much as I would like my phone to react instantly I don't need it to. But I would like it to deal with its non-instantenouness gracefully. For example if I open a contact list don't show me a half-baked version of what the contact list should be - show me another piece of UI that says to me that the list is being loaded and once you're done loading the entire lost smoothly animate it into view. No one expects to have a contact list of five hundred people to load up instantly - but also no one should care much about the device advertising it by stitching the list up of cotacts from four corners of the world. You cannot do some loading and then some drawing and then some more of both... load everything and the work your way to fluidly present other to the user.

But here we come to the real culprit: we must assume that the framework for such a graceful UI is there in JB. It is up to the developers to properly utilize it to achieve the desired effect and this is when developers must undergo a paradigm shift. Pasting an old contact app onto the new framework will bring no buttery benefits if it is not relying on the new framework that enables the apps to behave smoothly. This is I think the point at which Samsung is failing thus far. No amount of optimization will supersede the basic qualitative change - in the same way that drag racer will never have the sophistication of a luxury limousine though it will be faster and explode or fall apart every now and then - when it comes to the experience of that elusive thing that leaves the end user with feeling a level of satisfaction just by scrolling up and down the system preference list...

All this is not to say that JB is exempt from criticism as this is only a beta of the first iteration of Project Butter. I know that all would love to have it perfect from the get go and it never is so. Still, some basic stuff should work out of the box...

Sorry for the lengthy post...

I never experienced any UI lag in ICS, so I haven't seen any difference in JB. The animations are shorter, so events seem to happen faster, but if you turn off animations on ICS and JB both, you see that they are equally fast.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Project butter? If JB on the S3 has project butter, it sure must be some dirty butter. Project lard is more like it.
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Project butter is located in the kernel. Unless Samsung has implemented it into their kernel, project butter won't happen. It isn't part of the framework, apps, or anything else...
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Put animations on 2x and feel the butter....Put them on 5x and see the stutter! :D
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
When I read that, some weird android rap song went through my head. :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] xan:
Sorry, no.
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Ummm Yes it is. All the triple buffering v-sync is in the kernel. I see you are from the I9000 forums, ask any of the Kernel devs over there (DerTeufel, TK-Glitch, Straosk) and they will tell you the same thing. From your posts, I can see you built apps. Thanks for contributing to the community, but nothing pisses me off more when people go around spreading false information and still think they are right...
[Galaxy S III General] xan:
Thanks for background check, I feel flattered.

There are many framework changes, actually they changed the way frames are rendered; Choreographer is now responsible for scheduling frames. Yes, this needs a proper kernel driver, but its not that kernel just 'does vsync' and its all done. Its more of app(if you wish) <-> framework <-> kernel thing.

Anyway, project butter is far more than just a tripple buffer and vsync.

Look at the vid (its rather long and not very informative if one's not building apps/devices)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8m9sHdyXnE

GL ES tracer, additional development settings are just a few additional things beside whole core idea.

Google also identified framedrops using gl tracer and updated their GAPPs.

So its definitely far outside the kernel; there are things that most people will never notice.

Don't be pissed, just check the info Yourself instead of relying on someone's else findings.

Relying on someone's info might just lead into the way of pain and suffering, when someone with some knowledge might just disagree...
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Then i retract my statement. I am sorry for this bickering. Thank you for teaching me something new today! I am not afraid to admit when i am wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Very buttery for me compared to ICS.

I haven't tried it on the Nexus so can't comment on whether it's as smooth as stock Android.
[Galaxy S III General] kickokim:
Yeah, the dialer doesn't open instantly... well you can just install an other one, that the beauty of android! The rest is flawless so I'm not complaining. Of course I would prefer companies to just use AOSP and add stuff and theme the ui instead of changing everything.I really don't get it, all the money they would save on software development, why don't the just let Google do the hard work?!:banghead:

Flashing DLI7 on stock ICS, I can tell you that the system has become much more smoother.

I can't imagine going back now.
[Galaxy S III General] sohail77:
I think he means DLI7

and wait for a moment DLI8 is also out.... flash it and enjoy jelly beans
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
Yes . :P:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] mutejulio:
What happend here?
[Galaxy S III General] irzero:
The dialer is slow as ****. It's horrible. It takes ages to show up and even in call it renders in different stages
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
Lol I've started to use EXDialer. Loads up in about a second. Stock Contacts, my god, I feel shameful showing my friends that lool
[Galaxy S III General] kurtyyyyyy:
Patiently waiting
[Galaxy S III General] tanseerj:
While ExDialer may be quick, it doesn't replace the Dialer interface during and post a call so it's not really and elegant solution.

Especially when Samsung should have had these basics nailed down properly
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
Not to mention , if you have a missed call the Unead counter won't go away till you use the stick dialer (a system restriction).

So it's hardly a replacement.
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
When I tap on the missed call notification it goes away and takes me to EXDialer. It does come back after a restart, but I hardly ever need to reboot my phone. And yeah it does change during and post call, but I don't mind that.
[Galaxy S III General] marcogtt:
i noticed an incomparable unsmoothness of my gs3 compared to my old tweaked and beloved gs2 on gb.

No matter what rom im trying (im on DLI7 now) i cant find that speed.

Im not a newbie and i know which settings may or not may help me in this, but nothing seems to REALLY help.

Suddenly i tried last night a new gnex just bought from a shop from a friend of mine and i really felt ashamed.

That project butter is there and you can really feel it.

I hope this thing will be integrated by samsung but we are really near the october deadline and it doesnt seems like samsung is neither in a alpha phase concerning this particular topic on the JB release.

Dont get me wrong, phone is stable and somehow fast (powerful may sound more appropriate) but it is far from what im expecting as today from a 600eur phone as a heavy and aged android user.
[Galaxy S III General] Madarox:
It's not a final release yet,be patient :) even AOSP ROMs don't have real project butter yet simply because the HW composer is not compatible with butter.They are probably doing their best to make it more compatible:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
I just hope they sort out the ram situation. Could not believe my phone started stuttering today because I was listening to music (PowerAmp) and was typing a text at the same time (GoSMS). Each time I received a text the phone would stutter like crazy lol. Looked at the ram and saw the phone closing tons of background stuff, just so it could cope with the dialer, GoSMS and PowerAmp being open at the same time. Never had this issue with my GS2
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
power app settings/audio/advanced....change buffer settings
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
Whilst that worked (thank you), I can hardly multi-task either way lol. Might be minuscule but I hate opening sms apps and seeing it struggle to load (i.e phone numbers and contact pictures loading up) or stuttering animations lol.
[Galaxy S III General] irzero:
What are you doing to cause this? i never have problems like this. Try Omega Rom 26 with bloat removed. Works great.
[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
I think u should try cm10 u will forget about Sammy crap ROMs it like 10 times faster :cool:

But u will loose some crap wiz functions :(

Yep ram management is soooo bad on s3 stock ROM + stock ROM is fully bloated

My friend have s3 and sometimes I play with it and after day of use free ram goes to about 150 and phone start to lagging and stuttering like hell ( wtf quad core and 750 of ram :mad::mad: ) and start to closing apps in background which sucks

[Galaxy S III General] marcogtt:
I tried some cm10 build but I'm missing the so called Samsung customization (email messages phonebook camera eye catch standby are the one i would be missibg most)

And I didn't see that improvement in smoothness compared to the same gnex.

[Galaxy S III General] LosD:
Many of the customized Samsung-based ROMS have kept the good parts, while removing the bloat.

Even without root, by just disabling the stuff in Applications Manager that you don't care about (and you are able to) seems to help a lot. With root and Titanium backup, you can freeze a lot more.

My list of disabled apps on a non-rooted DLI5 (Yeah, I'm slow, I know):

AllShare Play

ChatON

Music Hub

S Memo (x2, I think one is the widget)

S Planner

S Planner Widget

S Suggest

S Voice

Samsung apps

Samsung Backup Provider

Samsung Browser SyncAdapter

Samsung Calendar SyncAdapter

Samsung Contact SyncAdapter

Samsung SMemo SyncAdapter

Samsung SyncAdapters

Video Hub

I have not disabled the Samsung account, Samsung Push Service and Samsung Cloud Data Relay, as they seem to be needed for Samsung Dive. If anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement (I do not like that the service actually TELLS the thief that he is being tracked. *facepalm*), I'm listening.

After a restart and waiting for things to settle down, I'm around 500 MB (with quite a big load of stuff installed), so not perfect, but too shabby either, IMHO.

Edit: Typos and messy sentences.

(BTW, mods: I can understand the 5-minute delay for NEW posts for new users, but why the same delay for EDITING them? Oh well)
[Galaxy S III General] tanseerj:
Now that the first final firmware is out it looks like we don't have full 'Project Butter' that's as good as even a Nexus device.

Don't even get me started on the crappy dialer and contacts app performance.

This really is a shame when you consider the hardware on offer here. And I think this is Android inherent problem of great hardware but poor software optimisation,

As mentioned in the first postis there a way (mod, hack etc) to speed up the dialer? I hate waiting 2 seconds just to load the dialer.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Yup, flash cm10/aosp/aokp Rom
[Galaxy S III General] Fatelord:
I have no idea what yo people are talking about ..!!

The stock ICS doesn't lag in widget drawer, doesn't lag in dialer or gallery as bad as stock JB .. and Galaxy nexus with its vastly inferior GPU & CPU run smoother in almost all areas ..

Samsung are plain horrible when it comes to software optimization and overall theme design ...

why they would replace the beautiful Dark blue raw ICS UI and replace it with orange and green is beyond me ...

Thank God this is all replaceable with AOKP ..
[Galaxy S III General] marcogtt:
Aokp si still far from nexus smoothness

[Galaxy S III General] Lownita:
I really have to take a look at a nexus with JB. It must be amazingly smooth! I am a bit concerned I bought a S3.. But perhaps I will sell it and buy the new nexus device being released soon.
[Galaxy S III General] jaju123:
Compared to my Nexus 7 this runs like crap. Samsung needs to hire engineers who actually have a clue what they're doing, rather than adding random ass battery hogging bloatware like 'nature inspired' sounds and backwards stuff like that. They need to improve user experience, not make it worse. Working GPU drivers could be a start.
[Galaxy S III General] poplectic:
Samsung took all the butter out and threw it away as far as I can see.

Theyre gonna make me buy a nexus.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Omega 27.1 with full wipe here. Fastest and most responsive my phone has ever been.
[Galaxy S III General] dinan:
I've been trying out different CM10 nightlys and AOKP JB builds and I really hate how my gf's Galaxy Nexus is just so much smoother with such inferior hardware. The phone is mostly smooth but just certain transitions and the notification shade are just abysmal. Do the Snapdragon S3's have this problem too or is it just exynos ones?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Omega 27.2 with full wipe here. Fastest and most responsive my phone has ever been.
[Galaxy S III General] gavin-phelan:
Snapdragon ones don't have this problem because all them processers are open sourced and samsung release full documentation for them so people(us) can get the full potential out of it e.g fully working project butter
[Galaxy S III General] dinan:
Ok well just out of curiosity I tried flashing Omega to see and it's not that much smoother than CM/AOKP JB roms. Still not as smooth as the gnex on JB and you have the added sufferance of having to use touchwiz... seriously how can you stand that crap?
[Galaxy S III General] Striatum_bdr:
You will copy/paste this sentence each time your Rom will have an update?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
nexus will be nexus others will be others.. bugs regarding hwcomposer and gpu are already fixed in cm10, so this is how its intended to work on s3 and its smooth enough for me with daily usage. so for cm10 there is no need to drag in the open source stuff..

[Asus Transformer TF700] ricorico94:
Hi,

I faced an issue with the gallery app (the stock application). I "cleared data" in the parameteres/applications menu, and when I restarted Gallery (even after a full restart of the pad), the gallery was not showing any album any more. A refresh in gallery menu did not help, and the app was not looking in any folder (while somepics and movie were still stored in tablet).

I found nothing to fix the issue, except using an old backup done with Titanium (I only restored datas of application): then it worked again.

So I could find a workaround, but do you know what I should have done to force android to rebuild the datas for gallery without having to use titanium..?

I have tried different roms and all the same problem. The phone acts like its charging but its not and the screen awakes and turning off the screen a number of times. I have tried different kernels and roms. with installing the different roms in wipe data/cashe everytime, Im kinda lost on what to do to fix this issue cause its killing my battery life. right now im on Affinity rom 1.0.1 prevous i was cm10 nightly, before that vicious. any suggestions would help me out!!

Unfortunetly it is a hardware problem because I dropped my phone last month and the screen was turning on automaticly so I sent it to samsung to repair it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
It happened on my s2 and so I sold it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfillibene16:
do u have to unroot the phone before senting it in? what was the turn around on repair?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
even with the screen like that, you can try to connect it to the pc to unroot through adb, and if that doesnt work try flashing stock images with fastboot before sending it in

if none work, just send it like that to samsung or whoever

that's great advice, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azeem.droid:
Its an hardware issue brother. Try using a toothpick or any small pin to lift the middle part inside the charging port. Do it only of ur phone is not under warranty. Or else just ask for a replacement. The google/samsung guys have acknowledged this problem and m sure u wont have any problem in getting a replacement.

And in the meanwhile use only the stock charger which came with the phone. Do not switch between the usb cables. Hope it helps:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nukeclears:
fixed it for me!

Thank you so much!

pushing up the middle pin fixed the problem for me!

i think i pulled out my phone out of the charger the wrong way bending the pin downwards. :victory:

thanks for the info.

Happened to me also! But I also moved to pin and it's fixed now! Definitely not a rooting problem.

Hi there, recently I flashed Leaf R3 rom and found out that default email app is not present. I am a fan of this app so thinking that if anyone can upload the apk. Thanks in advance!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] eventcom:
Leaf R3 - that is a froyo ROM right? What default email app do you mean? of the stock HTC froyo?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] sixline:
yep, the stock one
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] eventcom:
not sure about that (as I'm not a sense fan) but you might have a look into the Wildfire Android Development section and look for sense ROMs (which are all Froyo if I'm not mistaken) - you could either ask in the threads for help or download one and have a look if you could find it (in /system/apps).

Rempuzzle, DK, Jokerdroid or KoolSense come to my mind ;)
