redpill oh redpill...
he is known to test kao kao only release stuffs geh....

redpill v1.3 (2d hard acceleration) + GB 2.3.6 on my old s2 = frigging fluid --iphoneish

ARHD 4.0 + stock kernel + bloatware removed except snote, quicknote and samsung appstore

battery wise.. it's always kernel related... rom doesnt have much impact on battery life...
stock kernel is the best.. in terms of battery life

i will, eventually, go back to stock... when redpill kernel matures ( he's one dev that doesnt throw everything into kernel, no offense to other devs though

i dun think he removed sharpness fix from his kernel hmmmm redpill

Wait for it to mature la. Uv doesnt help much...
Later gona try redpill... im using stock kernel...to me its faster than perseus

The stock kernel in arhd 4.0 is the best I have tested...
The kernel version is 3.0.31-310959 wed oct 10
Tested on scrolling messages on whatsapp (hardware ac enabled)
Lj3 kernel version is 3.0.31-259982 tue oct 2

Those who have arhd 4.0 can try da kern3l ..or I will tryto make a flashable zip ..

nvm my previous post.. i got confused..

I've tried all the kernels....
best combination is ARHD 4.0 + latest stock kernel...
my test for fluidity is scrolling through messages in whatsapp and scrolling through rom toolbox pro. (of cuz with hardware acceleration checked)

So, what's the missing link?
Following are my results
Latest stock firmware + latest stock kernel+ no bloatware removed = stuttery
Latest stock firmware + latest perseus + no bloatware removed = stuttery
ARHD 4.0 + Latest perseus/redpill+ bloatware removed = stuttery
ARHD 4.0 + lastest stock kernel + bloatware removed = fluid..

missing link could be bloatware ..to ascertain this i have to try the first option with bloatware removed..
or it could be just the the right combination arhd 4.0 + stock kernel...

can someone tell me the name of the base used in the latest arhd 4.0

@nicregi - under developer option lo.. forced gpu rendering

the option forces older apps to used hardware for 2d rendering...
most modern apps have this enabled natively in them
some like quickpic, greader, you'll have the option to either turn it on or off
some apps turning on hd acc renders them useless....really really old app

if all the android phones out there were powered by JB/ICS - the scenario would be different..

from a consumer's perspective, GB was the platform for most apps we've got today... They just run flawlessly on GB.

@nicregi- if u can stand all the jitteriness(apps..), just leave it unchecked..those native to JB.... they really fly

try turning it on after flashing new rom/kernel. this way u can compare better..
