When I download a gif and send it through mms it gets sped up to a crazy high speed. Google turned up that this is a semi common issue and might be tied to my custom animation settings, but none of the links I found had a working solution. Anyone else ran into this with any tips? The downloaded gifs play fine but speed up as soon as they're loaded into textra or any other texting app(mighty and stock).
T-Mobile note 4 running the latest pop rocks texting with textra.

The browser in JI6 feels extremely laggy compared to the browser in previous firmwares. Scrolling is sometimes unusually choppy and going to the bookmarks page often takes a second. You might even see your home screen reload after browsing some heavy pages and then pressing the home button.
I started wondering if there was a memory leak in the browser, so I navigated to some pages that seem really laggy in the JI6 browser and checked the task manager. Sure enough, the browser is using 90-100MB of RAM at times and forcing other apps out of memory. If you want to try it for yourself, browse pocketnow.com (really laggy), engadget, or android central for a minute and then open up the task manager and take a look.
In an effort to figure out what was causing this, I have disabled plug-ins, uninstalled Flash 10.1, cleared caches, disabled javascript, and changed several other settings. While slightly less laggy, none of that has fixed the problem.
To make matters worse, I just received a notification warning me that database storage is low. I started browsing around and found a ~90MB file in /dbdata/databases/com.android.browser/app_thumbnails/ that comes back very quickly after I delete it. Not sure if that's the file causing the database storage to fill up or not, but it seems suspicious.
Also worth noting is that when pressing the back button in the browser it loads the previous pages instantly, almost like it keeps previous pages in memory. It wasn't like that in the browser from older firmwares. Wondering if that's what's causing the insane memory usage and lag.
Update
Looks like this is a known (by the community at least) bug that's also present in recent Froyo leaks for the i9000.
It seems to be a system level bug as it affects some other browsers like Dolphin as well.
I've noticed the same thing, but I kind of expect some aspects of the ROM to have debugging and/or logging turned on seeing as this is a leaked build.
Give it time and I'm sure someone will get this sorted out.

Asking the i9000 guys if their browser has stupid high memory usage in Froyo as well...

BAD news. Seems this is a bug affecting i9000 Froyo builds as well...

I can confirm that the browser in all the recent 2.2 leaks has some serious random memory issues causing close of almost all background apps and becoming very laggy and choppy.
Seems like either a serious memory leak or some other memory management issues.
This is not related to flash 10.1 at all as when i disable flash this still happens.

Would using a third party browser be any different? Gonna try out Dolphin or Skyfire in a bit once I get cog2.2 running.
So I guess the recently leaked (thanks to DesignGears and source) build is no newer than the previously leaked i9000 builds. Can only hope Samsung clears this up before official release.

Dolphin has the same problem so the bug must be in memory management or some kind of framework that both browsers use. Haven't tried Skyfire.
I am using Dolphin Browser HD and it does not seem to clear the memory issues.
Uses 145!! MB on the full pocketnow.com site before eventually FC'ing.
That's pretty rediculous.
I also ran into an issue where a pop up would say "No Internet Connection" and would ask me if I want to retry or ignore it, but if i didn't choose any option, the page would still load. Very annoying. This only happened to me while I was on 3G. Didn't try on wifi though. Anyone else run into this problem?

Yes, and it's very annoying. Somewhat unpredictable too. That and my cell data has been cutting out a lot for no reason, regardless of signal strength.
As far as I can tell, all the standard at&t radios suck. Can't wait to get a HSUPA radio & kernel running again. Faster speeds, and for me, better reception. Almost makes me want to go back to 2.1.
OOPS! I tried replacing libwebcore.so with the one from the G2 in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. Can you say boot loop? LOL, time to reflash and try something else. Don't worry, I have a better idea this time.
I noticed this as well and mentioned it in DG's thread. I noticed that the image quality is much higher than on 2.1 and the browser becomes especially choppy on pages with a lot of images on them. Definitely not flash-related.

[HOW TO] Fix browser lag in JI6 Froyo
How are you guys using voice mail on this rom? Visual voicemail or something else?
Some use Google voice, others are using VVM, myself included.
Method 2 on the Wiki worked for me

VVM is what I use. Working great.
There are lots of folks using the Sprint VVM. There are posts in the wiki on how to install it and get it to work.
I have always used sprint vvm and I couldn't get it to work so I switched to google voice and I love it! Don't think I would go back to vvm
I switched back to VVM cause when I was in Google Voice Mail the phone was taking way to long to go to voicemail it used to ring for ever on the other end...
I use google voice sss well, have sinceas the day I rooted (vvm wouldn't work on the custom rom I used). I don't know about trying to call it as the previous post stated, because between the app and net on my computer, I've always checked and cleared it without having to call.

i set up Google Voice since the VVM mod was only for earlier version of clockwork (not an edify update). GV seems to be working just fin, just need to figure out the test messaging now.
Hey I am using AOSP 2.3.2 and the screen on/off animation is a bit sluggish, anyone else having this issue? I changed the LCD density to 140 like the Wiki said and it still is a bit laggy, any suggestions?
Also my screen scrolling and opening the apps drawer was a little slow and jerky so I got ADW Launcher EX and it fixed the problem. Just thought I would add that if anyone else was having an issue.
BTW love the ROM, I was very happy to see Gingerbread on the hero!
Hey! I just got the Nexus 6 last week and I noticed an annoying issue with Chrome: when the phone finish loading a page there is this lag on chrome when I try to scroll. It just pauses for maybe 1 or 2 seconds.
I tried Stock rom, then Chroma and Pure Nexus (after wiping everything ofc) & LK Hellscore Blu_spark kernel, and I have still this issue.
It's a shame I can't get smooth scrolling with such a powerful device. Otherwise I absolutely love Chrome. I tried UC firefox & Opera & I keep coming back to Chrome... My nexus 6 is very fast otherwise (I'm experiencing some lag with the GEL launcher too, when I swipe to Google now's card but I had the same issue with my LG G2).
Anyone else has this issue? Maybe there's a tweak somewhere I missed?
Yeah. Chrome is a very heavy browser for these devices I think. I have noticed that on some pages on the n6 and my s6 too
I can't understand how Google can't make a good browser without scrolling sluggisshness in 2015 on his own devices!
Hi does anyone have Facebook app crashes consistently after the new update that T-Mobile pushed? ? It's getting annoying. Also the Automatic brightness control is out of sync! ?
No crashes here, but Facebook app is a power hogging app, I use my browser for facebook.

Don't use facebook app(except messenger), so can't comment on that, but auto-brightness seems to be fine.
Crashes quite often and videos stop playing for no reason. Also have issue with zoom in the app. Sometimes font is small and other times it feels like I'm viewing the landscape mode but holding my phone upright on portrait mode.
My Facebook all has never worked for longer than about a month for me, on any of my last 5 or so Samsung devices. It always crashes whenever I try to open comments or notifications, but it lets me scroll down my news feed for a few minutes.
Weird thing is that my spouse has never had any of these issues and he has the same phone.
Sometimes uninstalling/downgrading and reinstalling or clearing cache and app data will bring the app back to a usable state for a few days, but I just use Facebook mobile on my browser.
I encountered the issue during the beta phase of that Facebook version, prompting me to revert back to non-beta. Try uninstalling and re-installing it back. It may work

Call me crazy but I went to APK mirror and downloaded Samsung's corresponding apps for the phone messaging and their camera app oh and also the internet browser and the internet browser is the only one that works. The camera one won't install the phone and messaging app installed but the messaging app force closes right away and the phone app looks to be launching it but then it just goes back to the home screen. I am rooted that helps and makes any difference. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thank you very much. Alsoeveryone that loves customer recoveries and custom ROMs and tweaking out your phone just hang in there little bit longer because I have a feeling that the TWRP team is going to figure it out any day now and it'll be nice to be able to back up my ROM and try something new or a different kernel without having to do everything in fast boot.
