Is the stock launcher not very fluid in its tasks? Switching between menus, settings and apps isn't always smooth. I'm not saying the phone isn't fast but the transition between one thing to another tends to be jerky for me.
Not be anal, just doesn't seem right for a high end device.

Apex Settings -> Behavior Settings -> screen orientation?
Any particular roms and/or kernel combos that are smooth?

Not this again..... there are like 10 other threads asking what is the best ROM/kernel.
Look at all the roms in dev forums and find which one best suites you.
most popular combo is most likely aokp + franco.

So I was wondering if there are any lag fixes for touchwiz4. Can anyonebplease explain to me why touchwiz (old and new one) is soo laggy when switiching screens? This is especially noticeable when using a live wallpaper. Thanks in advance.

I was so happy when I upgraded from a T-Mobile g2, but now I'm thinking it wasn't worth it
Everything was smooth on the g2 even if it was single core at 0.8ghz
When I use apps the scrolling isn't smooth at all, everything's so laggy, especially go launcher which I was using on the g2 without any problems
Do you guys think a future update will fix this?

I would say that there isn't many apps updated for ics yet.....only a few and that's why they don't run smooth....but I would guess that as more and more phones get ics, more and more apps will be updated too......at least that's what I think and hope......

The built in live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS except phase beam. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of others weren't either. Also.. if you are using a live wallpaper not optimized for ICS.. well there's your problem.
I'd bet, like most, that it hinges on the optimizations for ICS.
Keep in mind, ICS was a HUGE update (maybe not coming from 3.x but y'know) and app-devs have a ways to go before they're using the newer configs on all their apps. It'd be entertaining to see GB ported back over to the GN to see how well it ran.
Guys if you want an asop experience just flash racers tw port and adb push Apex Launcher into /system/app and remove tw launcher. Runs as good as it's gonna get with m&s's blaze modems and all the other hotfixes at least till t-mo drops 4.0.3 or the ril gets fixed on this.

No problem, battery life isn't that great right now because we don't have a t989 kernel but its def usable until we get a stable rc candidate.

I thought pushing these 3rd party launchers to the system/app was having the side effect of being slightly unstable? Is the payoff really that much better having it as a system app?

No I am not a developper, I am an android Newbie. And not related with the app developers at all.
I am just giving a honest review of the most beautiful Wallpaper I have ever used in my device.:beer:
Besides, the launcher I think runs very smooth, And I do agree that the app is quite expensive. That is why I am saying try it , Keep the wallpaper and return it...
Re: Next Launcher 3D the best...
By the way, I ONLY recommend it in your AOSP jb 4.2.1 ROM,
By no means it is a substitution of the Touchwiz in jb 4.1.2.
But as a substitute of the AOSP 4.2.1 launcher, it's great.

Hey guys, im not sure if this has been discussed before and I have googled the issue but no one has seemed to have pointed it out.
I am currently using ATOM rom on my GSM Maguro Galaxy Nexus and I have noticed a slight delay when flicking from page to page on my apps but it only happens upon opening the app drawer... I'm not sure if explaining it in words is the right thing but its the best I can do without recording the problem with a camera as I do not have a separate recording device to do so.
I'll go into more detail however, say for example I open my app drawer and I immediately swipe across to show more of my apps, there is a 1 second delay before it decides to acknowledge what I have done. Does anyone else have this issue?
Also I would like to point out that it is not the custom roms fault as it does this on every rom I have used, including stock rom.
Its not a huge deal of a problem but it is quite annoying as sometimes i'll swipe again and end up on the widgets page of my phone because I think my phone hasn't registered my finger correctly.
Thanks for reading guys

I was using Stock launcher, i've tried all of them launchers and they're all nice but just don't feel 'right'. I'm so picky . The ROM I am now using (installed last night) is Android Revolution HD and it seems to have solved at least a little bit of this delay which is strange because last time I had this rom installed I remember the lag still being there. I can also recall that 4.1.2 and below didn't have this random delay but 4.2.2 does?
