Sluggish UI on Nexus S
Added by Daniel Kulesz over 11 years ago
Hi folks,
first off - I really like this project and highly appreciate your efforts! Until yesterday, I was not able to try it out because I didn't have a compatible device, with the Nexus S I have one now.
I've just installed build 0005, but compared to the official Android 4.1.2 from Google the UI seems pretty sluggish and stuttering. Is this "standard" on Android 4.0 due to lack of the stuff from project butter, or is this is a Replicant-specific issue (maybe due to missing hw accelleration...)? I didn't have the time to try out and compare it with AOSP 4.0.4 factory image.
Thanks!
Daniel

Just stepped over the entry in the wiki for 3d accel saying "Missing, only very basic " - is this the reason for the sluggishness?

Yes indeed, the lack of proper graphics acceleration on phones makes the UI experience slower than CyanogenMod and friends. This is less noticeable on newer Exynos phones, btw.
