Hello, the dev i respect most on the entire planet! [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] Did you happen to purchase a GTP? If so what model? Clean Rom in my future? I must say if any tablet could benefit from it the wifi 8.4 would be the one, since I would not wish to lose any functionality from any Rom not based on stock....not that I'm hinting or anythiing. HINT HINT I have the wifi 8.4.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] dancress:
The TouchwizUI does stutter, yes. Apex or GEL remedy the problem and work smooth as butter. It's Sammy's software as usual.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] chelper:
It would be amazing to have CleanRom on this device.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Monkey Chops:
I have the Nexus 7 2013 running CM11and have done a lot of comparisons to the 8.4 over the last few weeks. Once the bloat is removed, it's fast, much faster that the Nexus in just about every aspect, but it still feels like something is holding it back, not sure what though.

Nexus for me feels more fluid and glitch free, currently. The 8.4 has lots of potential.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Scott:
I agree with you 110% No doubt!

Oh yeah, thanks to Gunthermic I have a Tab 8.4 :p

He helped chip in!

Yep, I agree, Once I dumped TW launcher and went to Nova I was simply blown away! Faster than my Note 3 with better display!

I'n time it will be here :highfive:

As I was saying in another thread, got a lot going on but Hope to get started with CleanROM LE 1.0 this weekend (which is where all CleanROM starts)!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sudbury78:
Scott, would your clean rom work on all variations, not just the 8.4? I am buying either the 10.1 or the 12.2. Had your rom on the note 10.1 2014 and no offense to you or your rom, but I could never escape the lag that machine provided. No matter your rom, Apex, Nova, it was a mess.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Scott:
Why do you think I got rid of it?

Your going to have the same lag on the 10.1 Pro or 12.2 Pro. Exact same chips and Note 2014 Edition. Just different software.

The 8.4 uses snapdragon 800 which is a high-end high performing chip.

The Exynos chip used in the note 2014 and the 10.1 pro and the 12.2 pro is low performance IMHO (benchmarks say otherwise), which is what causes the lag.

Make sure you try the 10.1 and the 12.2 extensively before you make your descion. Based on the same hardware I can see them being that much better than note 2014.

But to answer your question, no. The 8.4 is the only one with a differnt chip. A faster chip, so the ROMS will not even be similiar.

I think they put the better chip in the 8.4 so they could compete with the IPad mini as they know the Exynos chips surely cannot!

All the LTE models of the tab pro are also Snapdragon 800 based.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Scott:
Yeah, I dont have a clue why Samsung would not put it in all the devices. It superior to the Exynos processor.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sudbury78:
Thanks for that input Scott. I wish someone would provide real life experience with both the lte and wifi 12.2. I can't justify the cost difference of 250 for the faster chip and the pen which I never used. Ugh

I am running Scotts ROM with bin kernel ( 2014 note 10.1 ) and I am happy with the performance don't really have any lag. I also have the note pro 8.4 which I am looking forward to running cleanrom on it as well, would really like to run them side by side and see the real world difference !!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] gingerdude:
Although the odd hic up never really worried me, I started playing with the developer options and adjusted the the transition, animator and Window scales to 1.5x this gives a much smoother and more eye pleasing UI experience. Well to me anyway, any feedback welcomed.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] yanakis:
True! I got it too and I can say I had no other devices with such lag. After nexus 5 and HTC one M8....this tablet is awful. Needs CM11 asap.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sudbury78:
That is interesting. Good find. I would love someone to try it. I would go repurchase this device if this 'fix' worked although I am really waiting for 4.4 as I got used to it with my time with the 8.4 and 12.2 which have been returned. I'm never happy. Hah
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] crpalmer:
IMO, "in mind" is very different from "in hand". I wouldn't recommend using this and I would strongly not recommend using this for the 8.4 CM 11.0.

It's not likely to be horrendously harmful but it may hurt performance in some areas and may subtly break some things.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] golfinggino:
I was waiting for the 4.4 update on my 2014 note 10.1 so i could compare apples to apples to my 8.4 pro and i would say there are pretty close now in terms of speed and overall performance - i would still rather have the snapdragon 800 then the samsung 8 core but with the update the p600 is better then it was, it is hard for me to compare as i am always changing roms currently running the latest cm11 rom on the 8.4 and the hascheck v1 rom on the 10.1 - both are very fast and i would think most people would be happy with both devices i am thinking of picking up the 12.2 version tomorrow but there doesnt look like there is any development on that version which is not good
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
Just bough one today (should arrive on TUE or WED).

I will root it eventually, but not yet. My wifi died on my Note 3 phone recently and it had

to be replaced by ATT. Thankfully KINGO Root, un-rooted the phone flawlessly and reset

the Knox counter to zero = NO problem with a warranty replacement.

This new tab with 4.4 KitKat is not as easy to root / unroot without a trace (yet).

Therefore I am going to wait with the root.

That being said

- what other tweaks can be done to improve (already decent) performance?

- could we start a list of bloatware apps that are safe to be TURNED OFF?

- what can be outright unistalled ?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] CuraeL:
TouchWiz is to blame for the lag. Always has been, always will be. Keep the hardcoded part that implements into Android UI, switch the launcher to something else like Nova. The truth is TouchWiz has been dumped down to be less ressource heavy, but it's still not a light launcher. Snapdragon 800 is more than capable. So do your part and fix the device that included a launcher that has always been stuttering. I have the 10.1 with Exynos and it stuttered in the launcher as well. Nova has made it blazing, like it always does. Missing features? I see non.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Buckster76:
glad to hear some saying the "demo software build" could be a reason for the lag

as I tried one in the shops yesterday (UK) and it felt super slow/laggy - I had to check menus to see if Power Saving was on (it wasn't)

felt very slow compared to my Note 3

liked the unit otherwise

although the Note 10.1 physically doesn't seem much bigger and not much more expensive either
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
But the extra weight can be felt after a long-ish use.

I am a relatively heavy user (sold laptop - tablet only now) and after

a few hours I am uncomfortable. Had to sell 10.1 and went for 8
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] PaRaNoidNeM:
The Answer

Okay, so here's mine small input on the lag matter..... Aside from the in-store demo version being laggy, and most likely because of the demo setup...... If your Galaxy Tab Pro is lagging (shouldn't matter which size variant) you should do a complete factory restore, and the lag should go away.

I was having an issue that others were having were after a couple or a few weeks of getting the tablet (mine is the 10.1 Wi-Fi model) a giant lag began occurring... As most I was super pi$$3d. What was going through my head was, "you would expect a certain quality from an Android tablet that costs $500 (because unlike apple, android tablets that are just as good, or better, sell for a lot cheaper), and if an issue you're running into with a $500 Android tablet that's marketed as the "Pro" version with multi-tasking features, and office apps that are supposed to make it usable as a PROFESSIONAL WORK tablet, is a lag issue (not sure what really caused it, RAM was not getting above 92% used, and the CPU is powerful so shouldn't cause the issue) than they better be refunding me my money.......

"you're probably thinking finally he's getting to explaining how he found that super easy and 'I should have tried that' answer, and I am :)".... SO I contacted Samsung and they advised me to do a "Factory Restore/Reset" and the lag went away. Now 1 month later or possibly a little more, and my tablet is running just as it should without the lag.

Hope this helps the people who own the Galaxy Tab Pro and are having lag issues, or anyone that's thinking about buying one of the variants, but is leaning towards not because of the lag in the in-store demo version!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] SpringerRider:
I have had for about 2 weeks. My usage is probably considered light since I am not a gamer. My screens are instantaneous. Yet, if your screens are deteriorating over time and are corrected by a factory reset, that is indicative of a memory leak. At best, it is a poorly written game or app you have installed. At worst, it is something integral to the OS. If the latter, then it is something we can all expect to see over time.

Keep us posted if your system slows down again.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] cdjaney:
Didn't see it mentioned so figured I would for giggles. I thought the exact same thing about the demo model in Best Buy..... I would switch between apps or just hitting the home button and it was the longest delay I had ever seen. I was like "wow, that's crazy bad".

So being the tinkerer, I jumped to " about device " and did the ole tappity tap to enable Developer Options. ALL of the animations were set to 20X! Not 2X but TWENTY X. :eek::eek: I'm 99% sure that's why that particular one was so bad...... don't know if they're all set that way, but like I said, thought it might be worth mentioning.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
Good point.

I set my to "0" and the tablet is fast and smooth !!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] androidkid311:
I can say touchwiz is laggy lol. Makes the tab seem like a single core. Gaming is sweet. I'll root it and remove the Samsung bloat.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
Well, mine only goes to 10x, but I turned window animations off and I see no lag. I love this tablet..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
Single core ? Not sure about that ;)......you may need to check your settings.

This is a FAST tab, no doubt.

Try installing Nova (or other) launcher...I think you will already see a nice diffrence

Does anyone tried to use ART runtime on those tablets? Is it even possible? I'm thinking to swap my LG G Pad for one of those babies, can't decide to go for 8.4 or 10.1 I use ART on LG and it works nice. Can you enable it on Samsung as well?

Sent from my N5
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
I am not sure it is possible.

I read about it here:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk...oid-phone-faster-and-its-battery-last-longer/

Instructions to turn ART on read:

"- Go back to settings where you will see a new ‘Developer options’ section

- In Developer options change ‘Select runtime’ to ‘Use ART’

Your phone will reboot and it will take 10 to 20 minutes to convert your existing app installations to be ART compatible. You’ll see a progress count during this. Don’t worry, all your app data is safe. Should you wish to switch back just choose ‘Use Dalvik’ in Developer options. The process takes about 10 minutes to complete and again no app data will be lost."

When I went to Developer Options, I could not find 'Select Runtime' anywhere in the menu..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sharpehenry:
I'm afraid there isn't an option to choose ART and Dalvik even in developer menu. But still all Samsung devices at launch run sluggish at first. When they launch performance tweak updates everything runs almost jitter free.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] ralph78:
Thank you for information, it's a shame you can't use ART. I use it on my nexus 5 and LG g pad and it really makes the difference. I can't decide what to buy or maybe I just keep the LG G Pad...

ART

I use ART which is enabled with CyanogenMod 11 on the 8.4, everything works great (Haven't tried to install the Xposed framework, not compatible with ART). It actually makes a difference for that device, feels a bit smoother and fast to react.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
It's really great news to see CM11 for 8.4 !

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] crpalmer:
FYI, there is very little chance that there will be a rc and then a 11.0 that is marked as stable in the same way it was done for prior cm versions.

Each month they are cutting a M release and devices opt-in to it if the device maintainers believe it is stable on their device.

The first stable release for the sm-t320 should be the first Friday in June unless something crazy happens between now and then.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] mauitech:
I don't know about the 8.4 but there is definitely some lag on the 12.2. I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker. Bought the 12.2 at Costco ($100 off right now) to replace my wife's Tab 10.1. She loves it and of course the speed is awesome compared to the old 10.1. I inherited the 10.1 and installed Omni Rom 4.4.2. I can't wait to get rid of the Magazine UI off of the 12.2. My guess is that's what's causing the lag.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] santiagodraco:
This is a bit ridiculous and insulting to the OP. To imply that a consumer should NOT expect a device, held in their hands, to behave in a fashion typical for that device is disingenuous.

General consumers are not going to be aware of potential issues with "demo mode" and it is completely reasonable to have a poor impression of a device that performs poorly in a store. Nor does not knowing about these issues make them "inpulse buyers or easily manipulated.

People should really think about what they are saying when they post. Of course you probably intended to be insulting.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
Fyi, just installing Nova (and perhaps other launchers) eliminates the Magazine UI.

I am running Nova Prime.....and I have no lag to speak of.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] mauitech:
Thanks WatchFan1. I used Nova Launcher for a while on my gs4 and remember liking it. I haven't used it in a while so I may load it up on the pro 12.2 and try it again.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Liquid Li0n:
man I went to a shop here in town aswell (europe - belgium) and indeed, so laggy but it's like you guys said, I see the demo app running on the device.

I love the 12.2" sized Note and Tab but I don't know after a few weeks I will still love it, maybe the big screen and weight to hold it up with one arm (in bus or train) will annoy fast?

But I have a Note 3 so an 8.4 or even 10" tablet looks so small.

Should I buy the Tab 12.2 or wait for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] WatchFan1:
Honestly, I do not think that 12.2 is good for traveling.

When I got my first Note 10.1 about a year ago....I liked it so much that I sold my laptop.

(Still used PC and at work and at home when needed, but for my 'portable' situations - laptop

was just sitting unused because I used the 10.1 so much. However, the usage was so heavy

(pun intended :victory:) that it became actually bothersome and my hand was cramping.

I went to Note 8 with same resolution and MUCH lighter weight and was very pleased.

Now I am selling Note 8.0 after I got this 8.4 and there is no way that I would go even to 10.1

This is a perfect size for me...the resolution is unreal, the processor is strong and for

what it is - it is super light IMO.....It will be MUCH better choice for your bus and train rides !

Cheers !

Thx for the interesting post.
