If anyone is using it, is it still a battery hog like it was in eclair?
Sent from my never been rooted, stock Froyo Epic.
While not exactly what you were asking I think the main reason most people aren't/weren't using it because it was:
1. Ineffecient
2.Lacking even basic features (like being able to move icons, although that might have changed, personally I don't use it and never will)
3. It looks like a KIRF iPhone.
Not to say it wasn't a battery hog but even if it wasn't I'm sure most people aware of other launchers wouldn't be using it.
K thanx for the input. I know the dock shortcuts can now be changed and the number of screens can too. Plus it now has pinch to zoom on the homescreen and app drawer. I like what has changed, but I'm afraid it eats battery like before. Can anyone who uses it reply?

I use it but just cause I like the program monitor widget and my battery life is great I can't really give any numbers because I haven't really flashed a battery mod yet

Neither have i it seems to use a little more battery just by being on touchwiz launcher. I normally use lp.

I haven't noticed any battery issue, but have had to clear the cache in app manager because of FC when I open the keyboard or hit home from being 2 or more programs deep... I can manage, I like it enough.

I guess that I'm in the minority because I actually don't mind the touchwiz launcher. I haven't really notices it being a battery hog, but I'm not running a bunch of widgets and a only using 3 homescreens

I just saw the video on galaxy s2 I would love to see the touchwiz 4.0 on our phones. I like how that looks

Anyone else using the AnimMod app from the market? Feelings on it? Ive been using it for about a week now and am experiencing some lag, but i really like the anims and dont want to get rid of it, so is there something i can do to make it more snappy? thoughts?
Running:
Droid Incredible AMOLED
Skyraider 3.5 w/Uncommon
HeyItsLou #8
It's pretty cool
About the lag, anim mod just replaces the transition files within your Rom so for you to have a lag
Either the transition files are broken or your Rom lags

Thanks for the input.
I reset the animations back to stock then uninstalled the app. After re-installing it and rebooting, it seems to have corrected the problem. I was just a little leery of deleting it at first, obviously I'm pretty new to this ha.

Okay so just flashed warm 2.2 and I love having launcher pro because of the transition when flipping threw pages and 3d apps when scrolling through the apps. I'm not sure if launcher is something to be running as a daily but I do. It shows great eye candy to my phone which I'm every happy with. Now my question is to save even more battery when I work is to toggle mobile network on top of my kernel I am running. The only thing is I can't find a 1. Widget 2. Shortcut. For it. I hate going into my settings and I do it .. little on the lazy side. so can you help me? Thanks.

There are plenty of free Widgets in the market for toggles to turn off data, wifi, etc.

Ya just not trying to pay 1.13 off the batt. Might have to but trying to see some alternative first

I am thinking of trying go launcher or nova prime. If I run those will they disable touch wiz or will touch wiz still run underneath it? I just don't want to run those apps while touchwiz is still sucking performance/battery.
Thanks
I'm using tsf shell. Battery runs great and ive noticed no lag at all.
Go Launcher is laggy in the app drawer, which is always an issue with Go Launchet no matter how fast your phone is.
I want perfection, so I notice every detail. Touchwiz is still running in some capacity as far as I know though. Negligible affect on battery or performance.

Nova prime here, no issues
if you want to be sure just use titanium backup to uninstall or freeze the stock browser. just make sure you back it up first

I feel like this stock rooted JB is smooth but lags.
Any suggestions to speed it up without any tweaks?

Root and uninstall the bloat. If not sure then disable it. Without going into tweaks this is the best you are going to get. I have tried this configuration and it does help some but there is still lag. Welcome to the TW framework.
There are a couple of things I have noted though. Right after you reboot many things lag. This includes homescreens, drawer, dialer, contacts, messages, etc. Once you have cycled through them at least once they readily open up quickly afterwards. There are a couple of apps that do seem to lag regardless (I think it is just a faulty transition affect though). This includes the Calendar apps...both Samsung and Google.

Flash a kernel??
Delete useless things in system apps, i noticed that really bogs down your potential speed. Even the wallpapers you don't need. Delete it all :silly:
Hey everyone, can I get tips for decemating the lag on this phone. Its really making me consider the HTC One. At this point, the s4 is slower than my nexus 4. Thank you.

Well flash a custom rom, ooen dev settings and decrease the time for transitions, or maybe try seeder (I havent tried)

What have you done/installed since you got your phone? My phone actually hasn't experienced any noticeable lag at all, not even once since opening the box. And I had three of them - all had zero lag. Of course, I still went and updated it and disabled some stock apps. It's getting better and better. The only issue is the speed at which this phone gets warm performing basic tasks like camera, email, internet. Even sometimes in my pocket with Sync turned off and Sound muted, the phone would get warm by itself. That's funny.

I installed action launcher, removed animations and thats about it. Right now I'm downloading the wicked rom to install, but I don't want to lose all of the samsung features such as, "smart scroll, s beam, multi-window, etc). Would you happen to know if the wicked v2 rom removes any of those?
im tired of the lag too.im on stock rooted with all the gimmics disable , my gf gs3 is alot faster. gallery takes about 2 sec just to open.
hopefully is fixed. had the htc one but battery life on it doesnt compare to gs4 .
If you don't want to be rooted to "kill the lag" go to recovery mode and factory reset and reboot. Do not touch or do anything with the phone for 5 minutes before setting up.
Im stock rooted, running Faux's kernel. I ALWAYS disable animations in Developer options....that alone eliminates much of the lag in any phone. Also, you can disable the S Voice connection to the home button.
Lastly if you want an incredibly ultra fast experience in scrolling and app drawer.... Install Nova...and make sure to make scroll speed "faster than light". You will then see how fast this phone can be when not slowed down by animations. The nice thing about Touchwiz, is that the settings and notification tray look fairly stock JB....so it matches great with Nova.
This S4 is FLYING....so friggin fast, zero lag, great battery life!
Try it out!
Cheers.
