[split] 4.2.1 Not smooth. Downgrading to 4.1.2

[GizBeat]

I haven't been on 4.1.2 in a long time, so it's difficult to gauge the difference, but I definitely notice some hiccups with this version of 4.2.1. The 4.2.1 from Jaynes was smoother than the 4.2.1 official release.

Though the Wind 4.2.1 is a custom ROM, it's more or less just interface changes and a couple app add-ons. The actual underlying ROM is an official release from Zopo / Mlais. I've also tried the official download from Zopo and the result was the same.

Attention to detail is not one of China's strong suits. Looking through the forums, there is no mention at all of any issues with smoothness. It's the exact same ROM with the same phones, but nobody has said anything, so I doubt anything will be done about it.

What's strange is that the Antutu scores are the same, so the CPU / GPU / read / write are all operating normally. It's something to do with how they've adapted the interface.

The MX86 hasn't seen an official 4.2.1 release yet, so I hold some hope that they'll step up the game and hopefully we'll be able to use that ROM without a hitch.

Also, the MX58 / ZP980 is being released next week. This could be a great thing for us 7500+ / ZP810 owners if the ROM is easily portable, or a very bad thing for us regarding official support if the ROMs aren't easily portable because focus will be changing over to the new model.
