Just had it on and i thought i broke my phone at first. So slow. But its caught up and wow.

Rotating the screen near enough instant.
No lag at all clicking through menu and folders. Its like the funky OS BB use to advertise. Its so quick!!
Unlocking fast. Can click any other button to unlock which is okay, but might cause some problems soon. Have to see.


Still a delay in locking
Still no flick strolling haha


Cant test alot due to me being at work

so what you are saying is you would rather have a non colorbanding os rather than good os that fixes other issues??
personally the color banding thing is so small to me i don't really notice it.
