The Android Lag Fix That Really Wasn't

Posted by Soulskill on from the hop-on-one-foot-for-better-connectivity dept.

jfruh writes "When Android was first introduced, it got much of its buzz in the open source community, and despite it being a mobile juggernaut backed by huge companies, it remains an open source project that anyone can submit code to. Thus, when a community patch that claimed to reduce the lag that still plagues the platform was created, it rocketed around various community code sites and was widely praised. The only problem: it didn't actually speed Android up."

    Ah yes. I guess that's why Google desperately launched Project Butter to make Android smoother and less laggy. 'cause it doesn't lag, right?

    gSheeps. You gotta love them.

    Slow phones are slow, fast ones are fast, and occasionally things stick on Android, but no more than on comparably priced hardware using "the other" platform. You know, the platform whose fanbois try to smear Android by placing stories about supposed fixes for supposed problems on Android.
