Hi guys. So, now when we have Jelly Bean and all things are really smooth, what's the slowest/most lagging app on your phone?
Ironically for me it's the official XDA app.
XDA app stutters like crazy. Surprisingly, Facebook is really smooth.

the youtube app is the slowest to open (1-2 sec after u tap the icon) , whereas other apps mostly open instantly.
as for lags and stutters well there is a big list of such apps, xda is definitively one of them
I am the slowest thing on my phone - everything else - super fast.

Netflix is still laggy when I open it, but that's not the phone's fault. Everything else seems to be up to par.

Do you exit from apps with back button? For the first time it relly takes about two seconds, but later it loads instantly if i exit from app with home button.
Power Amp is the slowest to open on my phone, but once I'm in, it's fast.

Indeed. Isn't it the whole point of home button? I always exit apps with home button so they open instatly later.

Yes, but its no secret MIUI have been very slow on Nexus and sometimes buggy. But it have great features so I still use it.
Yep xda is the most stuttery

Does anyone have App Drawer lag? if you leave the app drawer long enough and don't use it, then when it comes to using it and you open it, does it lag a tiny bit for the first swipe?
I don't know if it's just me getting that but it's random and looks like it's sticky or something.

What launcher you're using? I use Nova launcher and it's buttery smooth. Also lag could be caused by inproper CPU speed/governor settings.
I am using apex launcher and its very smooth.no lags or something.

the lag I notice most is loading the dialer, idk if its really "lag", but its not as instant loading as messages lol

Is anyone able to reproduce lag in Apex launcher by repeatedly going in and out of the app drawer a few times? It has done that for me on every single version and is the only reason I go back to Nova. I emailed the dev and he told me to download the latest version...I was offended.

I still get that too.. seems better with Franco m2 kernel tho.

Works great for me. It is a phone, not a gaming rig. I've actually noticed more lag on nova. On apex, it only lags if I repeatedly go in and out of the app drawer a bunch of times...which isn't practical

That's the only way I am able to reproduce it over and over (which should be easily fixable) but it does it randomly when I'm in the app drawer too. The only time Nova lags for me is in the app drawer also when I'm swiping through it really fast but in Apex the lag lasts for like 15 seconds making my phone unusable.

Hey guys, something has really bothered me lately. The whole OS is so smooth and all, but everytime I leave an app or leave the app drawer then opening it again has a very nasty lag that is a very big turn off. I searched for this issue and saw that I wasnt the only one who had this problem.
Here is the same lag on the Nexus 7:
http://youtu.be/cK8n54YiabE?t=4m55s
and on the Galaxy Nexus:
http://youtu.be/qN3EXAFRxKQ?t=4m23s
Could anyone tell me how to why this issue is found on Jelly Bean and how to fix it? I'm on stock 4.1.1 btw.
get apex launcher and turn off the app drawer fly in animation.
i noticed this too,but only in the first page of the app drawer...

Dude, how can you even count that as lag? I run Ubuntu 12 on my laptop and it lags like ****. I run Windows 7 on a high-end desktop.. it lags like **** sometimes. There is seriously about 0.1ms of lag there, get over it.
Does it bother you that it takes several seconds for your web browser to open XDA? "Damnit, this bothers me!!! The interwebz LAGS!!!"
At first I thought you were running ics which does have lag, then I saw the nexus 7 video. I watched it and started laughing my ass off, there's not even a slight bit of lag in that. And my device doesn't lag neither.

Maybe my eyes are lagging, I missed it.
I can't believe people are so obsessed with micro lag that is not even visible to 80% of people. Suck it up already, no need to tell the whole world about how your app drawer launches 0.1 mill second slower. Its not the end of the world.

Yes, but not when opening the drawer, but switching to the next page.
And I wouldn't call it laggy, it just reacts with delay to the swipe. The swipe itself is perfectly smooth.
SMH.
I saw it!
Oh, no wait, I didn't. You crazy, bro.
Have you tried setting window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale in settings --> developer settings to 0.5x or 0x at all?
I know exactly what you're talking about, so don't worry about everyone else. Unfortunately I don't have a fix for it either.

Even that lag is nonexistent if you wait a split second to scroll after opening the drawer. It's called the launcher has to populate the apps and widgets on first launch/scroll. If you launch the drawer and go for the first scroll "as fast as you possibly can" then you're just purposely looking for a microsecond of lag to complain about.

i dont see any lag at all
Smooth as butter here on 4.1.1 with Lean Kernel.
I did have the lag on ICS but JB has been slick.

(Haha... yeah right!)
Its well known that iOS is known for their almost lagless software. Android has had lag issues in the past and tries to remedy this by improving CPU and size of RAm. But i still sense lag when opening programs sometimes or unlocking my screen or even refreshing a weather widget. Galaxy S3 is supposed to be one of if not the fastest android phones available but still suffers from some of the same problems that the G1 had. O well...i guess google has to stick with the framework they've already written. It'd be nice though if there was an app that measured lag. I know there're several benchmarking apps that measure overall speed but are they any that measure response time of a phone? An app that maybe runs several processes in the background and asks the user to touch the screen. Maybe type a few words using the keyboard or open and close a folder or two...
What apps are you having issues with, exactly? What firmware are you running?
Hate to admit it but I notice lag all over this phone on TW opening messaging unlocking the phone and stuff, on AOKP no lag what so ever. I don't think its Googles doings or code. More so the carriers and Manufacturers that make these phones full of bloatware and their own code.

Unless im mistaken ios seems more 'lag free' simply because it will only run one thing at a time, it cant multitask.
Android can run multiple apps at once.
If android was coded with the same limitation as ios it would certainly feel even faster.

Not apps really...home button lag. Wake/unlock lag... honestly if my phone can play music while i run a game/ browser, im fine with not multitasking.
If you have an ipod touch or iphone, you'll notice that if you try to load a webpage while continuously touching the screen, the page won't load!! Its using almost of its cpu on screen sensors which equals no lag!
For home button lag, double press home then in svoice go to settings and uncheck open with double home press (or something like that)
The lag is because it is waiting to see if you are single or double pressing the button.

Since we are on the issue of lag. Xda has not been friendly to me since I got the phone. If I browse for more the 10 min. It's impossible to scroll through posts its like it ran out of ram and skips top to bottom when I scroll. If I keep trying it will FC on me. Running stock

Every time i open an app for a long period and exit it the homescreen will go black & blank for over a minute, it really bothers me, It's such a shame for something that costs you 3 bucks
I'm pretty sure it's not my phone, never had this issue other launchers

Perhaps there is a launcher setting to allow the app to persist in memory? Phone might be killing the task after a long period of inactivity, causing problems when relaunching in the form of redraws.

Has anyone else noticed that there a noticeable lag when turning off the screen? The slight fade out animation seems to stutter and there is about a 1-2 second delay from when i press the power button to it actually doing something. This is probably one of the weirdest places for a phone to lag.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm running on stock rooted BTW.
EDIT (more info): This doesn't happen right after a factory reset. I takes a bit of time for it to happen which makes it seem like some app messing it up, but it happens even if there isn't anything installed besides the default stuff.
