That article is from 2011. From what I've read, Project Butter is supposed to have fixed the lag.
Project Butter helped, but it didn't fix it. It is pretty disappointing to see lag/ animation glitches. But on a Nexus device they are relatively minor and its a small price to pay for the functionality.Project Butter is supposed to have fixed the lag.
I seriously don't understand how the Samsung software people could have possibly signed off on The S4. It's so flipping laggy/stuttering. Yet there are still people in the S4 forum who pretend their S4 is lag free.TouchWiz on my S4 is a horrific bloated POS. Hate it. The lag is driving me nuts. Can't wait until Google releases their S4 so I can flash to that.

I really hope a 100% functional Google Edition ROM is developed on XDA for carrier edition S4's. I'm okay with being an update or two behind of it means getting AOSP on Verizon. It's not like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus was updated quickly anyhow.
AOSP + Verizon = unstoppable.
Well deserved...I might add.Well you've always thrown hate posts on Samsung.
I honestly consider any lag or animation stutter unacceptable. The iPhone has no lag and the Nexus S4 has next to no lag...by that measure, the S4 is horrible. It also doesn't help that TouchWiz looks like it was developed by a 5 year old. HTC's Sense looks LOADS better, much more professional, sleek and modern.The S4 is NOT AS LAGGY as you say it is. Sure it is not 100% gone, but you guys act like it is there everytime we flip a homescreen.
They day the GE S4 ROM is available for the Verizon S4, I'm right there with ya. In the mean time, I'm curious to see what Motorola and Apple announce this summer. I doubt though, it will trump a Nexus experience on the S4.That doesn't mean I won't be flashing to a touchwiz-free or touchwiz-fixed rom... but just to let all those Sammy haters know.
Try this, it should help immensely.Came from a Iphone 5 and I am having some hard time adapting to the lgginess in my GS4, so far what i need to do is open the apps i need to use during the day and keep them running at all time, then it feels a lot better.

Point proven for me. Even you, in the middle of your 'its perfect' rant, admit it stutters. People have been claiming their Android device doesn't lag/stutter since Android began...do you know what they've all had in common? They have all been wrong.I just love to pretend so I'll just say this. On my S4 that is still on the original release software has always been lag free and barely stutters if you can even call it that.
I agree. Refinements to the OS should always be finished long before a release, but if you still have lag or your gallery is bugging out on you, just return it. Its broken.
You can deny that there are working S4s all you want. It won't make it true.
Maybe I'm wrong but with a luncher such as nova I experience no lag whatsoever on my S4. Its not that difficult to just get a launcher.
