Tips and Tricks to improve your USER EXPERIENCE on S5 - Galaxy S 5 General

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: P.S -> THIS THREAD IS CREATED TO ENHANCE USER EXPERIENCE NOT TO CREATE A BATTLE BETWEEN S5 AND M8
Guys, even after new touchwiz. S5 animations seems slow.. yet the device is super fast.. so my tips would just help you! Thanks to look into it
1. Go to settings>developer options(if not present go to about phone and tap the build no. 5 times)> transition animation scale and shift the value to (0.5 or 0)
Do it for windows animation scale
And animator duration scale too!
2. Disable s-voice from Galaxy s5 it would make u go to homescreen super fast..
To do that double click your home button.. register s-voice go to menu(by pressing multitasking button for 3 seconds and then untick disable s-voice open via home key..
3. You can also use a custom launcher if you don't want touchwiz!
4. If rooted then try cross breeder!
P.s. > I will update it with more things.
5. If you're rooted and have tons of apps, then install greenify app from playstore and hibernate your apps.. this way you can improve battery life and functionality
6. Do a factory reset, which may solve your problem.
Hit Thanks if I helped!

Its confusing that so many people complain about touchwiz...just choose a different launcher like Nova and dont look back.

The truth is that people don't like TW animations, but they don't understand the difference between lag and slow animation. So they complain but the excuse is ridiculous.
Enviado do meu Galaxy S4

How about this novel idea....if you don't like Touchwiz and/or you think this phone lags, then simply don't buy it or return it and leave us happy owners alone.
And for the love of God, please stop comparing this phone to the M8. They are different, period.
OP, I'm not saying you are doing these things, but it's always what these threads end up turning into.

Ok... so which phone should we compare it to then? The S4? M8 is clearly the most direct and similar competitor for the S5 at the moment and they shouldn't be compared to each other? Now that sounds pretty stupid to me...

For God's sake this is not a comparison thread... this is meant to make your s5 a bit more responsive..
So guys please enjoy your devices... dont fight...

My tip: use Startup Manager free from Google Play Store to check what apps starting with boot and disable them. You can disable Samsung stuff with this app. More free RAM. No root needed.

I didn't notice any performance issues relating to the launcher for exactly that reason - Nova is one of the first things I install!
I am actually using ADW at the moment though because I saw there was an update since I'd last installed it on another device ages ago and fancied road testing any changes - I'm loving the 'Wall' animation on the app drawer, and people who've had a go on my phone have commented on how slick it looks

Installing another weather app (or HD widgets or similar) and installing a calendar widget from the play store will fix 2 of those 3.
For the other one, I just put a shortcut to the app on my home screen and go into S health that way.
Each to their own though.

S - voice can be disabled completely using the uninstall/disable apps option.

I wouldn't recommend crossbreeder or any of such scripts on our phone.
It won't make any difference and most likely cause higher battery consumption.

when in gallery, you can pinch-to-zoom in/out to have like a 100 pics at one time appear instead of the usual 4x5 grid

You are welcome !
But still weird that only few people have this issue ?
What rom and android version are you running ?
I am running rooted stock 4.2 with multi-user (GF^^).
To recap i have got the problem with :
- go launcher hd for pad
- nova launcher
- stock launcher
on the other hand no issue with go launcher ex.
I must add that i feel the UI very heavy.
when i am web browsing, pinch to zoom is not as reactive as on my one X.
Same thing about scrolling over a page.
Are you guys experiencing this aswell ?
I have this issue, and its VERY annoying.
I on the other hand, DON'T THINK ITS AN ISSUE! I think this is just normal.
The only reason we notice it, is we have devices that are much more responsive.
I have a HTC One X, and can literally flick the screen and it goes where I want it, the Nexus is more of a drag than a flick.

Same for my S3 vs. the N7.
This could probably be "fixed" if the Lauchers were able to distinct a "flick" from a "swipe". On the phone I touch much more pixels with one flick, than on the tablet , due to its smaller screen.

I agree with what you say, but it seems there is a problem with the inertia.
Look at those screenshot https://www.evernote.com/shard/s64/...33f1f9e7d013/dd9030c957c51b5f1bc1fee19803038f
You'll see that the purple line go back instead of going straight. It acts as if the screen was too sensitive and was taking into account the fact that you lift your finger off the screen.
If you have an android phone, try to swipe with trace enable. You'll notice that the purple line go straight as it should.
For me at least on my one x, the pruple line (inertia) go straight and i have no problem when swiping through home screen.
Edit : Just to let you know. I have tried Apex launcher and it appears there is no "pull back" problem. Actually it is luquid smooth^^
I don't think it is a problem of launcher, as you can see on the screenshot I was not on the home app that the launcher is, but in chrome.
It happens no matter what app you are on, as I think it is either related to software or hardware.
But I must admit I feel like it is hardware.

Some questions before I say goodbye to Samsung

Having decided the s4 still suffers from a laggy touchwiz from playing with 2 store demo models last week, and being impressed by the ones smoothness in another store; I'm seriously considering buying a one having had a galaxy S1, 2+3.
I have a few questions if people don't mind answering:
1. I'm not sure if I like blink feed and read you can't disable it. Would using a different launcher or will only a modified rom sort this?
2. Does adding a few widgets to your home screen cause any lag in scrolling?
3. Anyone had an s3 and can tell me what battery life is like in comparison?
4. I like smart stay, I gather there's an app that does similar. How well does it work on the one?
5. Is rooting as easy and safe, ie hiding for warranty returns?
6. Any previous s3 users really noticing the contrast difference ie not so good blacks? I've had amoled for 3 years now
Sorry it's long but thanks if you can answer.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
1) A different launcher or rom would remove BlinkFeed.
2) No lag. I have 6 screens and 15+ widgets and I don't see any lag.
3) I've never had an S3, but looking at the data, the HTC One battery is better than S3 but not as good as S4.
3. Check the anandtech comparison between the one and s4, they have the one ahead. The browsing time is excellent on the one.
4. Is smart stay the feature that stops the screen timing out if you're looking at it? If so, it's built into sense.

At the moment, there is no way to disable BF on Sense. I don't know of any ROM that has this yet either.
A new launcher will remove it though (and enable more than 5 screens)

Easy and safe yet. But hiding for warranty?
Once you unlock the bootloader, it will say TAMPERED in HBoot. There is no way around this as of yet. If this voids warrenty, I guess it depends on your carrier, or how HTCs view on it.

I had a SNS before, it had a AMOLED screen, but obviously not as good as the S3. Personally I haven't noticed anything bad that makes me not like the screen. It could be that it doesn't bother me/I don't use it for applications that require top grade screens/the jump from SNS to ONE is big enough to shadow the display technology.
This is really subjective, you'll have to try them out your self.

MJA update: Have you made the jump? What are the differences? Do you think it's worth

Just a general post to see if those of you who got the update to work, if you really think it's worth it? Is it one step forward, two steps back? Are you happy that you updated or sorry you did? No, this post isn't necessarily a question post, just one to get people's opinions on the update in one place and not scattered between a few threads. Mods, if you feel this is redundant, that's fine. I'm just trying to generate some activity and input from the users on the update.
I did it and it seems a lot smother. But then I cf-autorooted and restored a nandroid of carbon rom. Don't know why but I seem to get better service.

Agreed. The 3G icon looks aweful!!!
There are more fonts to change the phone to. Mobile Data is missing from the drop down. Reading mode was added. GSM data roaming was opened up while all roaming was turned off. It does feel much smoother.

Everyone in 4.4 using ART. Conclusion?

I feel like the device is much snappier. I heard battery is supposed to be better with it as well but I can't confirm. The xda app was never the best , now it is almost fluid o.o. or at least noticeably better. What do you have to say ?
i was told to add this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qbko3/art_broken_apps/
edit: I would like to add that the apps i notice this most is for instance, when i use hangouts and i'd right ALOOOOOOOT with someone and then scroll up at a fast rate, it would stutter. Now, this stutter is nearly gone.
XDA - xda app is one of the most noticeable, stutter has been reduced by such a large margin that you'd have to try it yourself to believe it.
G+ would have the occasional hickup when scrolling through news posts. Next stop would be the play store, it used to stutter a lot as well, now it's become a lot better. Just for the hell of it i compared it to my sister's note 2 and the difference is there.
I doubt this is a placebo effect, i'm even considering to make a video as proof with dalvik on and off for the hell of it.

Paste that into your system lib/app and install the launcher app in the folder and voila: you've got it all.

Well, it's kind of obvious, if you want the best experience for now you're going to want to go with the official 4.4, since the developers need their time to work their magic.
I have no crashes, i'm using ART so far cause i could care less about what's app. I'll report in about battery life observations once i've at least had this thing running for a whole day.
Feels really smooth so far; don't use any apps that crash(thankfully) on ART. Hard to tell with the battery as I came off a custom kernel that was picked for low power usage. Like with any new firmware, it usually takes a few days of my phone running before I can really judge things. Got to give all the apps running a little time to muck things up to get a solid feel for real world performance; but I'm hopeful from what the past few hours performance/battery wise.

I'm not saying it is not buggy, I just want to know before I switch

Just switched to art on today's stock KitKat after running art on nexus 5 port for a week. No stability issues and have 165 apps installed with no bugs. Battery life is improved by approximately 15% and performance is much quicker

It's not worth the hassle in my opinion. I couldn't notice any tangible difference, performance-wise. I tried it on SlimKat, though. I may probably give it a second try now on stock but the whole idea of having non-working apps like Whatsapp and TiBu just takes the appealing away for now.
Could this just an elaborate hoax to test the placebo effect of Android optimization? I don't understand the true potential if it.

it just seems that with time, there develops slowdowns. like a far majority of the time i press the recents button and they pop open fast. but occasionally, it takes its time. like a few seconds. i only get that when using ART. im not knocking it, because i do enjoy playing with it. im just giving my experience
sorry for OT but whatsapp is working fine in the facory image,am i missing something?

Hi thanks and I might try to put stock wiz back as a option but I'm waiting for the updated ROM that mine is based on
Also thanks I'm aware the right speaker is broken now that the creator doesn't know if that problem will be fixed but again thanks for the info
Hi, dsilx!
I have installed this ROM a couple of days ago and, I have to tell you, it was the best I've tried since I started to change it. I didn't tried to use the internet and performance booster, but I'll give you my impressions about those features as soon as possible. Nevertheless, these are the points that I'm able to speak a little bit by now:
(Very) Nice Points:
-Speed (transitions are very fast and not jittering)
-Usability flow (very very smooth indeed)
-Battery usage (surprisingly economic)
Points to improve:
-Right Speaker not working (as you may already know). (But since we may encounter this issue in most of ROM's available, I guess it's not that important, even because the sound works right using my earphones)
- Sometimes, the wallpaper is show somehow disregulated, righter or lefter from the position that I've choosen before.
There's another fact important for me.. This ROM have revived my TAB 3, since it lost the efs ( I still don't know how) and recovered only by NEON CUBE ( I don't know why either), what I haven't suceed with the lasts I've tried before.
In a comparison, It's still a great ROM at the end of the day...=D
So, thank you very much for your nice job and be sure you can count on me for the tests you may need in the future!!
Peace!
Gustavo

Hi now thanks for gratitude and niceness now one thing I have to ask keep in mind I'm just a kid but I didn't understand the last part about efs etc. If u could can u plse explain its more kid friendly haha but thanks for the info
Hahahahaha....
Relax, bro, I think I didn't express myself quite clear. Pardon me for that....lol
Two months ago, I was trying another ROM and suddenly Tab begin to don't accept any ROM instalation, showing the message "Failed to mount /efs", or something like that. Then, as a lot of things need my attention at the university and my job as well, I haven't had time enought to research properly in order to directly fix this issue.
I just keep trying to put some ROM's during the rare free time I've had, always regardind the correct version (T210), but with no success (the same message occured).
But this time, with your ROM, it has simply worked and I started to scream like a little girl and run around my house, jumping and singing...lol...besides this a little bit thick lying part, I was very happy for my Tab coming back to life again, this time with a performance I've never had....=)
