How I Got My Galaxy S4 To Be Completely Lag / Stutter Free

Thank you.

I just got mine after being with an htc one m8 for a month. Most people would call it a step back. The camera is great though and I thought i had lag so i put on the google play experience rom with 4.4.2 and it was great so I realized its gotta be something with the touchwiz. So i did what I've done on other touchwiz devices after going back to stock which is disable apps. Then developer options and still nothing. Then I remembered from my years of troubleshooting phones at the fruit store that the one thing I always noticed different from iPhones and android was the clicking sounds and the haptic feedback. Its just bad at haptic feedback commands and screen movement at the same time. As soon as I turned those off this phone seems great. Oh and I have the kitkat launcher.....which in reality has more animations than touchwiz. I suggest try that.

The steps you shared didn't help my LG G2. I am trying to play a game called piano tiles and it is too slow to even work. Thanks anyways.

Just implemented these on my note 4, really smoothed things out.. Thx!

Thank you for the tips, they really worked.
However, I do not understand how a quad-core CPU, 2 GB RAM, on a flash drive (which is in some cases better than PC-level hardware) with a ~300 MB operating system can have lag. Frankly I cannot understand this.

I know this topic is old, but, I simply cannot play mortal kombat x on S4 lollipop official. It is ridiculous how I can manage to play this game with google nexus 2012 and it is so laggy on S4 that is not playable. Laggy is even soft word, it runs like 5 fps...If anyone has solution, please write! thanks and regards!

I had lag too , my ram usage on my galaxy s4 was 1.68 GB out of 1.77 GB , I had to disable some apps (not important ones like trip advisor...ect) and bloatwares , but i figured that touchwiz launcher was consuming too much ram ( idk why) so I installed the nova launcher & now my s4 is back to normal !!
