I have noticed that when I click a button, I usually have to wait from 1-2 seconds before I get a response. Would lagfix take care of this? I'm running stock Froyo.
As many have stated all the lagfix does is help fix the very slow rts file system, it most likely would not help in your case.
Best thing to do is delete unused apps, and reboot the phone every day or to(seems to help mine out, cant guarantee results)
Also if you havent needed root in 5 months you probably don't need it
Unless you want to use opitimised roms, I dont see why you would need to root. Check your memory usage delete unused apps and reboot the phone ever once in a while.
My honest opinion, no reason to have an android phone if you are not using roms

Gonna have to agree with mcord here. had to go back to stock froyo for about 5 hours (didnt have all my tool to get back my 2.3.4 ROM) and it was horrible.
you might not be up for it but i really recommend flashing a Froyo Custom ROM from one of the xda DEVs. you'll love your phone and be amazed that it can be so much smoother and responsive.
First thing I did after i rooted was flashed a new kernel to overclock. Performance increased but battery life was poor. Then my first rom was cm7..been hooked since..tried miui once then went back to cm7.

This is what lagfix can do for your phone.
Im using stock mosaic V 2.3.4 rom with no overclock.

Providing arbitrary benchmarks does not seem like an actual reason to employ a lag fix.

No a Benchmark score is not the best example to lag fix your phone ,but the more power you get, plus better battery life and, better perrformance are great reasons to lag fix your phone. I just posted the quadrant score so kb0npw can see the increase performance from normal rfs file system to ext4(lag fix).

I dont think he thought it meant everything, he was giving a simple before and after which showed some improvement. Quadrant can actually be pretty useful when trying to gauge what effects certain changes have on your phone, say you score a 1900 before you change 'x' and then 2200 after that change, then you know its increased performance somewhat and youre moving in the right direction. How much it has increased your performance is debatable, however. My point is quadrant can be a useful tool when making changes on your phone if you take it with a grain of salt.
EDIT: To answer op's question, Read up on some custom roms and flash one, the difference is phenomenal and you'll wonder how you went 5 months without them. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me and I'll see what help I can be
In your opinion, which is better, CyanogenMod or Overcome? Currently, I'm running Overcome 2.0, but have often noticed lag when I'm using it, though I'm not sure if this is a problem with the ROM.
Overcome 3.10 it looks good and is fast. I prefer touchwiz to cyanogenmod because of task manager and other samsung apps.
If you want speed go for cyanogenmod, if you want more functionality go for overcome.

No, because cyanogenmod has all bloatware removed so it is faster.

cm7 is fast but missing optimize code for tab , your music player drain 3time more than stock kernel. most video codec need software decoder. These are stopper if you use them frequency.
but things i love in cm7 is theme , i love white notification bar which cannot find in other roms.
you also can redesign auto brightness level to work as it should to be.

i remove all bloatware in overcome but quatrant score doesn't change.i think it about kernel performance.

I like the cm7 it has alot of customizable stuff ex. The built in theme chooser... I have had cm7 on both mine n my girls phone for a while no problems im waiting for the honeycomb release coming up that should be great when it finished as well

I agree with you, performance are not calculated by numbers of bloatware. Quadrant checks how fast your tab performs when doing integer, float, etc calculations, and also io checks (read, write database), 2D graphics and 3D.
check out my post about this.
if you look for speed, true open source softwares, get cm7
If you look for a balance between battery life and performance and also some stock softwares, get Overcome (if ur ok with ads blocked), the flashing knowledge is a bonus as well (thanks to thepitbull with his extensive howto).
If what you need only undervolt, add koxudaxi kernel to your stock rom.

Quadrant tests kernel, hardware and software. You may have removed bloatware but touchwiz is still there right.

Hi guys, I am considering buying a tab atm but want to know how fast it is with good MIUI and stock roms. The tabs I saw on display were extremely slow..
If anybody could give me a comparison to other phones, ill be thankful
Cheers!

Yeah, most of the Custom ROMs for the Galaxy Tab (Overcome as well as MIUI and CM7) do make the Tab run heaps faster. The single-core CPU will be noticeably slower than some of the newer dual-core hardware as apps continue to get more advanced, so the choice is yours. Still, I can attest that for the majority of use, my Tab running Overcome is more than speedy enough.

It is not fair to compare the original galaxy tab with the latest tabs available. And I should say it is really slow and sometimes force closes on the latest apps optimized for the latest tabs.
Remember it is more than 1 year old, and for today's technology is considered obsolete.
I would also like to add that despite of being old it is the only tablet that has complete phone functions integrated.
Is the speed comparable to a SGS?

As far as I know ROM, RAM, CPU & GPU is concerned, it essentially is an SGS.
I'm using rocket rom v23 with Abyssnote kernel version 4.2. And overclocked to 1.4ghz with ondemand using SETCPU. I don't have any background running application other than background data and gps enabled all the time.
For past week my phone is very slow and i need to wait for couple of seconds to let the app open. Why is this happening and what is the resolution?? I don't have any issue in battery. And also I don't want to loose any app's data.

Overclocked? But it's already 1.4 ghz.
Which launcher do you use? How many apps installed? How many widgets placed on your screens? And beside that just a simple hint: look forward for ICS...the lag will be gone immediately

You mean the official update? How can you be sure it will vanish the lag?
It is clear you have done something to the system.. even a stock note performs better than this.

Lag is in most if not in all Notes !
My Galaxy Note also have lag problem
I have GS2 and Note and GS2 is like bullet on Stock gingerbread ! Just open app booom opened ! I think it's because GS2 already had a bunch of patches and updates to the OS comparing to the Note !
So I think the only way to fix this in Note is to wait for ICS !

Try rebooting into CWM then clearing cache and davlik cache. I had similar problem with another ROM gradually slowing down and wasn't sure what was causing it. Clearing the caches sorted the problem.

I have overclocked a few phones in my past, but the Note? Really its so fast and all works super smooth. Maybe with the right ROM where the dev already pre-overclocked it... But setCPU was never working great for me. Maybe just my opinion, but wipe, and get yourself a good ROM. No need to overclock this beast.
There is no lag "problem" per se. period. Stating there is a "problem" makes the assumption that there can be a fix.
You cannot fix the inequality in display processing between the S2 and the Note, given that the Note must process 2.6 times as much information for the display as the S2, so it will ALWAYS appear to be not quite as fast as the S2, given it has similar hardware.
So given you cannot get a gallon of beer in a pint glass, making it a different pint glass (ICS) wont help.
Now, sure the appearance of "lag" on the Note can be minimised thru tweaking optimisations, but note (small n) that the same can be also applied to the S2! Essentially, never in a month of Sundays will two devices with similar hardware, one of which is doing 2.6 times the work, ever appear to operate with the same UI zip.

The thing is...I don´t have any lag at all. Even with stock. BUT I can see a huge difference (on Stock rom) between TouchWiz and alternative launchers. Touchwiz is smooth as butter, whereas Go Launcher Ex shows a small lag (and it´s the fastest GB launcher alternative afaik.
And beside that: Currently I´m on Stunner (ICS) and here it is even a better experience. Absolutely no lag or waiting time, never, period.
I can´t sign the statement anymore, that the note is slower than a SGSII...I have both of them, and on Stunner it´s quite the same experience

Yea may be this is because of the launcher am using (ADWlauncher). I think I should try some other launcher.

Hello,
after asking some info about the the battery on airplane mide, I ha now some question about ICS.
I have tested today the galaxy note, in a shop, running under android 2.1 or 2.3 ( I don' t remember...)
the device was so slow to use. it was really really slow. a lot of lags,the behavior was not good.
is the galaxy note faster with ICS?
thank you

There are varying opinions. Personally i found it smoother generally although was using launcher7 instead of touchwiz. The task management is fantastic. If youre looking at stock ics, samsung in their wisdom have skinned it exactly the same as gb which really annoyed me!
There are settings to select if you want hardware image decoding or software, i have a feeling its glitchy if using software.
