ICS scrolling speed/weight fix? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

After playing around with ICS ROMs, I finally settled on AOKP. I'm liking the look so far, but I can't stand the way scrolling works. It was so much faster and smoother in gingerbread, is there any way to get that scrolling back? Right now it feels like I'm dragging a brick along with me when I scroll.

I had the same feeling initially. After using it for several days I got used to it - I feel like your fingers adapt to the new scrolling algorithm. Gingerbread was often hyper-sensitive in terms of scroll-touch response. You can definitely get fast, smooth scrolling in ICS, you just gotta give your fingers time to get used to it.

I haven't run aokp or cm9 in over a week because at the moment I need everything working at 110% but when I did I had no problems with aero's v9 kernal and a lil overclock

On CM9 it feels the same to me as well.

You're definitely right, I think I already got used to it.

So there is no way to increase scrolling speed on CM9?

Not that I've seen. You really do get used to it though, I don't notice it at all any more.

You get used it, especially if you have flashed the very first versions. It has progressively better, but things won't work 100% until ICS is released.

Add or adjust the following in build.prop
ro.max.fling_velocity=8000

Do you have all the root options checked in ES? Windows explorer wouldn't work, and make sure you aren't looking in /sdcard.

What if I put it over 9,000?
But seriously, I did set it =8000 and it seems to scroll a bit quicker for me in my simple contact list testing. AOKP R37.

your reply made me think this was some sort of prank download to see if people would actually install it...
but i went ahead and did anyway.
Will I still get this if rooted. I would rather not install an apk when it comes to the market.

well it works fine, although i really hate the new layout.
it also bothers me that it now shows results for movies and books. (wtf!??!)
with the new one is it possible to go back to the old one?
It is possible. I just did it. Go to manage Apps. Find market and hit uninstall. It will remove the update. I liked it but it wouldnt show all of my Apps in the my Apps section.

Google Backup/Restore

I just flashed RC3 for CM7.2. Usually when I flash new ROMs, all of my downloaded apps automatically download in Google Play Store, but this time they didn't.
Anyone know why? Is there a way to manually initiate this if auto doesn't work?
Have you considered using Titanium Backup instead? Free or paid, its waaaaaaaaaaaay more reliable than Google Restore.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It depends on the ROM.

I think the free one does a good job. I have not tried the paid one though so I have nothing to compare it to.
A little off topic, but related - how do you disable Google restore? Annoys the hell out of me when it starts downloading apps I already have backed up.

You do that when you are setting up the device after a clean flash. It will ask you if you want to use Google Backup and Restore. Just uncheck the box. I'm not sure if it can be turned off after this point.
I also want to know the,answer

It doesn't ask me, it just starts installing apps when I boot the phone. Only happens with some ROMs though.
Edit: Are you talking about the setup process? If there's an option there, I may have missed it.

Keep getting bugreport popups

This thing pops up about once or twice a day asking me to share it. It has a long txt file. I am confused, and cannot figure out why it is happening. I have switched roms and it still happens. Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out. It seems to get incrementally larger. So can someone look it over?

You need to make sure that you have the latest busy box installed. For me, root didn't work properly until I did that. It really is a great file explorer for the nexus, being that our screen is large and I love the drag and drop.
God bless
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I can't get root access files with this file manager so its fairly useless but it looks pretty I guess just not practical, went back to root explorer an es file explorer an yes I have latest busybox as most root apps need it :screwy:
Best looking file explorer app, but depending on the ROM I'm running I can't get root access because the ROM is using a custom busybox. This is the only app I ever have this issue with unfortunately.

Root access works for me now, click jump tab at bottom of app screen, then device then system root, then try open a folder in root location an the app should ask for root permission from super su or superuser

To refresh, you just have to click on the current folder at the top of the app.

Yep, I know how to get the SU dialog to pop up, but another message saying Busybox needed to be updated would always come up as well, depending on the ROM I was on at the time. Just letting others know.

Thanks. I'll give it another try.
Edit: Yeh, this thing is the shizz. If I don't run into any root issues I think I'll keep it.
Edit 2: Spoke too soon. It FC'd while doing a moderately large move of about 90 small files. Sure is pretty but I need something I can depend on. Back to homely old Total Commander...

Okay.
Flash the .zip in CWM.
Once you are done, then go to twitter or something and click a link and hit "Popup window" then you can use Multi view.

It's a variant of multi-view basically.

He has 2 windows open at once, sort of like multi-view.

It's not multi-view correct.

That's pop up browser not multi view, their is no need to flash the .zip for that. Also flashing the .zip does nothing you have to manually place the files yourself.
What's your battery life like with this? I'm just starting to use it but I was plugged in all night and now an hour after unplugging I'm already at 89%??

Not so great here either. Android system usage is very high when the screen is off.
This is like when I was running the LI8 Jellybean leak, although since this is a port, the reasons for high android system usage while screen off could very well have different causes I guess, but the symptom is the same.
