How to make your note smooth and fast?

Guys, recently just flashed kingdroid a I'm in search of the best rom. I'm disappointed however because my note scored fairly low in antutu benchmark test. Any one knows what makes the phone faster and get higher scores in benchmarks? Thanks.

Ehh....benchmarks vary so much. It all depends on what you are running (app-wise) and such. Anything can change a benchmark score.
Does the ROM "feel" smooth? Does it run good for you? This is what matters most, not benchmarks.

What really borders me about the note is the scrolling. There will always be aome scrolling lag. No doubt the phone is fast, but why the scrolling is laggy? Eg. Whatsapp scroll.

Try different kernels Bro

Tried the bestest rom and kernel out there but it still cant eliminate the scroll lag. Well there might be some improvements but its not as smooth as sgs2. Anyone out there having smooth scrolling as good as sgs2?

Theres really no best KERNEL or CUSTOM ROM unless you try them all and test it on your device, EACH device acts differently, for instance ICS Stunner may be really awesome on a majority of Galaxy Notes but on mine it struggles.
You can't go wrong by trying out all different ROMS and match the suited Kernel, I know its time consuming but it's worth it in the end as you'd know which ROM and Kernel suits your needs.

I am on Kingdroid and I flash Franco r5. When I used it with Franco updater, I can run the phone at 1600 MHz with v2.0. I am happy with the performance compare with other ICS rom I tried. However it is still not as fast in scrolling as my present sgs2 with Malice rom.

By saying the "best" rom and kernel means that the majority of the community is using and trust. And i had tried ALL the ics custom roms but still the lag is there. Im coming to know maybe there is no way to eliminate the lag. If someobe out there claim that they have no lag, pls share a video thanks.

When I tried some ics roms I found them to be really laggy and there were a few bugs. If u want something really smooth I suggest u stick with GB for the time being until all tje ics problems get sorted out.

try KingDroid ICS ROM v2.0 it osum

[Q] Best ICS rom - Daily use

Hi guys. I am currently using temasek's CM7 build 128, which I really enjoy. (awesome speed, awesome battery, looks cool)
However, I was wondering: is there an ICS rom good enough to use it daily? Even with the hardware acceleration -and other- bugs?
Every thread I search the information is messed up, it is impossible to know if the rom is useable or not. Although I really love testing new roms, I don't have all this time avaiable.
Any sugestions?

Hi,
Try owain CM9.

Owains Domination CM9 (he freshly released Build80). Smooth and quickly. Got nearly no RRs now.
Have fun.

What is the better kernel for this rom?

MIUI v4 by hariel graphics and speed with harsh power 3.0 kernel.
LG O2X - BLACK - ROM MIUI V4 2.6.1 By Hariel
KERNEL HARSH-POWER 3.0.34

Im using Nova with Horsepower kernel. I have not reflashed it since June 1st and it is still smooth as hell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

I tried NovaHD and it is really smooth, indeed.
However, apart from the bugs, I noticed 2 things that pissed me off:
1) the battery is warming up fast and stays hot for a long time. I reach 32~34 degrees within 15 minutes of moderate use. (I don't play games)
2) the multitasking feels quite heavy. I no longer can alternate between 3~4 apps instantly, as I could in CM7.
Is it normal from ICS, or will it be fixed when LG/Nvidia release the correct drivers?
thank you for your answers

@cool.guy,
if you haven't tried it yet, give tonyp's PARANOIDANDROID a try as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762494
I either use it or Owain's Domination for my daily use and very happy with both.
Good luck!

Paranoidandroid is also good, like owain's.
However, as I said, nothing compares to cm7. The interface feels much more responsive and light. Running CM9 I can feel the phone using all of its resources and still can't get a decent multitasking.
One of the two senteces below is necessarily true:
1) ICS is too heavy for 512Mb phones; or
2) The lack of hardware acceleration drivers makes the ICS a heavy system.
Agreed?

Why do you believe that? ICS has proven to be a more hardware demander system than GB.
It happened with my old Milestone 1: great phone, but lacked on ram just like optimus. (Considering the launch time).
Result: I had to stay on CM6 if I wanted a decent multitasking. The milestone simply couldn't handle the GB, due to the 256mb ram. So I stayed on froyo and was happy that way.
It seems to be the same situation between GB and ICS.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
Hugs.

Tested Nova, Domination and Paranoidandroid with different kernels and I like Paranoidandroid the most.
I'll leave it as my standard ROM unless something awful will happen, which I'm sure will not : D

tested Nova HD and Paranoid, both is nice and pretty.
1. Nova HD -- Highly customize, can custome your kernel, ril, and Gapp installation, and specially it had LG Optimus UI 3.0
2. Paranoid -- Hybrid system, can exchange your UI to Phone or Tablet and customize each App on the UI mode and DPI
(PS: i like both but i m using Paranoid now)

I'm using Nova HD w/ Nova Kernel Pure Edition right now. With Ramhack (64mb) and autokilling task manager (at turning of the screen) it's freakin slick and runs smooth like a baby ass.
What are the pros/cons, forcing you to use Paranoid instead of Nova HD?

I'm testing the Owain94 rom (domination) with Harsh kernel 2107. I like it, but I have problem with scrolling in some apps. When I use the Dolphin browser and I turn the screen, the app freeze.

Do you really get the decent multitasking as in cm7? After 1 week of using paranoid, I got used to the not-so-good multitask.
When I flashed CM7 back it was like " WTF my phone is flying! I can open the facebook, browser, whatsapp and music player at the same time!"
Do the test. Try cm7 and compares.

battery life ... nothing more

hi there ...
since I'm using my p970 mainly as a wifi xbmc remote control, as a "fritz.box-phone" and sometimes some gps stuff only, I am searching for battery life as much as I can get.
I don't use mobile options cause I even don't have a sim card inserted. And I don't need performance or a snappy interface cause I just use barley a hand full of apps.
So I need ur advice which config is best for me. which kernel, gov ,launcher and Rom I should use.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

get zeus v7
underclock your cpu, undervolt the cpu, change the screen brightness, use adw launcher or a lighter one, change the options of wifi in zeus tweaker allowing better battery consumption

Ok, but if I use CM7?

Cm7 is known to suck quite a lot of juice.. better for you to switch to Zeus

I would, but I love sound in CM and switching songs with volume rockers

well a price for everything
battery life for music
is the sound really better on cm?
(i mean compared to power amp in stock roms)
does it sound louder and have a richer bass?

Yup. I tried everything (CiCi, Mercurified, Zeus, Nova), tried to apply fixes to switch music with volume rockers (it's sth necessary for me - i failed ) and cm is the best in my opinion.
It would be nice if I could change voltage...

So, use boype's cm7 and underclock and undervolt it

AFAIK does DVFS (feature of LG) already undervolt your CPU as far as possible, according to safe values of course. I think anything lower causes SoDs and other errors... You should take boype's kang, if you want to have CM7. I just made a test and got 1day 18 hours with normal use, so you can definitly get more out of it

Well I'm using boyope's cm7 and its sort of same as zeus v7 in battery life, just try boyope's then see for yourself since u want a cm rom

[APP] [EMULATOR] PSP Emulator for Android V.8

Hey happy users of the LG Optimus 4X HD, just want to share you this emulator which runs perfectly on our device.
I only tried two games but they are heavy and run pretty smoothly on our device.
I tried : - Dragonball Z Shin Budokai (absolutely fluid)
- PES 2013 (lags sometimes)
There are also a lot of settings so that you can customise your controls.
You can also save and load state easily.
The app is still in beta stage but is being update frequently, the global performance are improved and the list of compatibility gets longer and longer.
Just a little tip : In the settings, Buffered Rendering is ticked by default however if you want get the real and great graphics, untick Buffered Rendering.
Here is the link to the app and its subject : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338818
And here is a second link with a compatibility list : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970933

i'll give it a try one of these days, iodak for me has issues with stupid baseband wakelock overload also, it's not the lag as much as it's slowmo. it seems to be running at 70-80% of the speed it should run

Try different kernel and different combination of scheduler and governor. Every kernel have a "performance" governor.
Btw don't forget that the benchmark are not really representative of the true performance of a device.
It is always good to have some big numbers, but some benchmark apps can be hacked easily to show to incredible scores (and in particular Quadrant).

same for me. closest i got to stock was running pure aosp.

But without looking at the scores, how the performance of your phone in games with cm10.1, isn't the global interface smoother, aren't the games faster?

Did you install CM nightlies? I heard they are more bug-free and has better performance than RC versions.By the way, don't expect any custom ROMs to be faster than stock ROM for the moment, most of them has a lot of bugs or performance issues, stock ROM is the best choice for now.

The screen dim can be disabled by renaming or deleting /system/bin/thermald. Which kernel are you using? I find CM to be laggy in my games, there are exceptions though, NFS MW is very smooth, but NOVA 3 and modern combat are very laggy
