I'd think smooth display could be it. Sounds similar to the Lineage setting.
Check for a touch sensitivity setting. Maybe your phone needs the option to increase turned on.
Have you checked with Graphene forums/chats (I forget where they have rooms, XMPP maybe?).
I've tested with Smooth Display, but still have the same issue. I think that setting has more to do with screen refresh rates and animations. I don't think Touch Sensitivity is it, either. This seems more to do with making it easier to register touches with a screen protector. The problem that I have is not registering touches, it's that when I swipe (e.g. left or right to sift through an image carousel), the original screen springs back into position instead of advancing to the next screen. It happens a lot in the app store when I'm using my thumb to browse the screenshots. I swipe left b/c I want to view the second screenshot, but the first screenshot moves over but not enough to advance to the second screenshot. It just snaps back into place and I'm still looking at the first screenshot. Same issue in reverse when I'm using my thumb to swipe right, it's like it wants me to start the swipe gesture from too far left on the screen where it's not very easy to reach, and it's not ergonomic to have to basically wiggle the phone in my hand to reach that far over to start the swipe gesture. In summary, it's a navigation issue, not a touch screen issue—I hope I'm making sense. Thanks anyway for chiming in, though.
Curious if you had this issue on the factory rom.
It could just be you, but honestly there's not that much difference between Android and iOS when it comes to swiping. If anything, I find iOS to be a little less sensitive (more "lazy"), and that's not a criticism.
Maybe there's just something odd going on with your OS image. If you have the time, I'd flash back to a factory image, see how it behaves.
Keep in mind you often have to update to the most recent factory version before flashing a rom. I've run into this on phones, if I didn't have a recent enough factory image, things like a radio wouldn't work, or even touch wouldn't work at all. In fact, I have a phone sitting in my pile that I need to reflash for just that reason.
