Hello, do you guys also noticed that sometimes screen transition is laggy? Is there any chance to get different ones, especially those which are not using 3D effects, like regular side to side plain slide? Of course without any different launcher.
I'm on GalaTab3 overhauled rom which is a bit faster than stock but still transition is laggy a bit.

I'm using T311 stock rooted.
It does lag a bit IF I swipe immediately after exiting an app or unlocking the screen. It only happens on those occasions.
Have you tried clearing your ram?
Sure, constantly. But this is not lagging at all in typical sense, I think it is just overdone animation. I tried othet launchers and I had to do unbelievable things to make it lag. Maily because I used regular slide side to side transition without any 3D effects. I also tried one launcher which had that new 3D glass effect looking like you turn big thick sheet of glass, and nothing!!! Works perfect.
I just need someone to create recompiled kernel, rom or something, but stock with plain screen slide animation instead of factory default 3d page turning one. Stock firmware is quite good just transition is crappy, reminding me of cheap tablets.

Please tell me why people like it? It has 3 non changable icons that stay one color and looks like its out of place compared to the rest of a home screen setup.
Just wondering whats so great about it? Am i missing something?

different strokes for different folks.
It gives more of a stock feeling than ADW. And the trashcan is on the bottom dock, the only reasons I used it, then I moved to ADW for honeybread

I actually think it looks a bit better than adw. It gives more of a clean look.

Because the app drawer is the best app drawer of all of them! Especially with a phone with good graphics!

Isn't the same effect app drawer available on adw and lppro?
Sent from prison
Well gb launcher2 is just so much smoother then adw or lp. Home screen scrolling is buttery smooth, and the transition for opening the app drawer is much nicer then the other two. The app drawer cube effect shows 5 rows in the fold compared to the others. Now that I can use themes in CM7 without adw, I use it.
And in the stock launcher the apps in the drawer "bounce" much smoother than LP, not as laggy
I believe i read somewhere on here that the stock launcher is hardware accelerated. That is why is runs faster and smoother.
I personally prefer anything stock. Stock apps seem, to me at least, to be smaller and faster. Try to keep the fluff to a minimum.
I love stock anything! My Nexus One made me love the 3D app drawer, and on my G2, its only smoother! I can't wait to see how smooth a stock dual core Android 2.4 phone from Google is gonna be! The G2x is a good example, however it will be froyo, meaning not fully dual core compatible like 2.4 will be! My guess....Nexus X by Motorola! I can wish, can't I??

I just love that stock vanilla google experience...same when ICS, Jellybean drop...ill stick to stock...no overlays or launchers for me...BTW is there a zip I can flash for the gingerbread launcher over adw in CM7..? (There was one for NS)
Edit: I know there's a couple in the market but those aren't as smooth as the ones in NS Development...

Hey,
I really didn't have to do anything but flash it. I flashed this over the ILWT cm7 rom and it just worked right out of the box (on 187b as well as 204).
I wouldn't know how to improve the performance of the launcher, except for common guesses such as reflashing/wiping and such.
Maybe it's just a different understanding of what "working really well" means. I never did get it to work perfectly buttery smooth, a very tiny lag always remained (even though it was running a lot better than adw).
I was playing around with my nexus today and I noticed that the stock launcher lags on certain lwp, even with forcing hardware acceleration. I know this has been mentioned a few times, however I was thinking : is it possible that when Google was making ICS they coded the stock launcher to behave properly only Phase Beam only. The say this cause even the Nexus S's lwp even causes lag and that's probably one of the lightest lwp I've seen. Just my opinion, I'd like to see how others weight in.

They probably just didn't bother to optimize the older lwps
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I was also referring to the new lwps too, such as microbes but it's nice to know I'm not alone in my thoughts
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Really? I was running microbes fine.. but that's an older one too
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Is it? LOL
Well I only refereced that one cause I couldn't remember the other ones lol.
I notice lag Bubbles, Halo Spiral, Microbes and Nexus; though only light lag.
The only one that likes to work seems to be Phase Beam.
Too bad cause the others one look really nice too.
Those are all old Leo's...the only new one is pulse...three rest probably haven't been optimized
i've been trying to find info on the lag with lwp's - although I haven't found any answers, I'm glad to know others see the problem.
Something I have noticed that I thought might have an impact on performance:
all the lwp's that have lag are ones that "move" when you switch homescreens. the bubbles fly around, the nexus slides side to side, the microbes move, etc.
phase beam doesn't move when you slide screens. and performance is perfect. that leads me to believe that the lag has something to do with ics moving the lwp while switching home screens.
just a thought...
Has anyone experienced the phenomenon shown in the two images below?
- My phone is unlocked and rooted.
- I am running LiquidSmooth v1.35
- I am also running Franco Milestone 3 kernel
It seems wallpapers will not behave correctly when my phone is in landscape mode. Anybody have some ideas?
I have tried "Wallpaper Wizardrii" which hasn't worked. This happens with both the stock launcher and the Apex launcher.
what is the resolution of the wallpaper?
That particular one is 1280x800. I set the wallpaper, just now, using the gallery "set as" function but while in landscape mode and it has eliminated the black bands on either side. However the transition from portrait to landscape is ugly (the wallpaper jumps around a bit before settling).
I don't remember it being like this in the past. If anyone has any fixes, they would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I thought the last thing I did fixed it... but a few rotations later it was back to misaligned.
Same thing happens here on stock rom rooted using apex.

Unfortunately wizard or quickpic didn't work for me either.
Edit;
I was going to suggest maybe its some kind of resolution issue but this happens even using the stock provided wall papers and built in wall paper wall paper picker app.

I hate the new ICS wallpaper implementation. Especially, because I always turn off the "Scrolling Wallpaper" option. And I always have to crop my wallpapers to make them fit my screen :X
So this is ICS bug not launcher?

I'm pretty certain that landscape mode isn't supported by the stock ICS launcher, is it?

I dont think it does.
OP, i do not have this issue.
at the time of reading this, i had a wallpaper set to not scroll, and i enabled horizontal lock screen. i had the issue you were talking about.
once i enabled scrolling wallpaper, and reset the wallpaper (same one) i had full screen wallpaper on the hoizontal lock screen.
seems to be an issue with scrolling wallpapers, which also isn't an option to disable on the stock launcher.

Yeah your right forgot about that. Still though, I'm sure older versions of apex displayed the wall paper right in landscape, only since the recent betas it started playing up.

I'm pretty sure the stock launcher supports landscape mode. It happens when you choose Settings > Display > Auto-rotate screen.
Update: I just switched back the the stock launcher and it does auto-rotate AND has the glitch.

Stock rom stock launcher won't auto rotate for me. I'm sure the stock launcher actually supports it but stock rom doesn't and requires tablet mode or something for it to be landscape. I'm sure this is why people started switching to 3rd party launchers to use landscape mode.
Are you on stock rom?

Iv just decided to suck it up for now and use scrolling wall paper even though I don't really want to but better than looking broken.

I've been using nova for a month or so. Pretty nice, but lacks in features. So i stumbled upon apex and it seemed really rich and nice, especially the previews. The only problem.. is that its really lagggy.. and it uses like 80mb ram + How can i make it not lag like in app drawer and going to previews. I have force gpu thingy in developer options enabled. I have aokp jb rom and trinity 1420mhz cpu and 537 gpu kernel
It's just sluggish in general, on stock and nova. If i rapidly scroll through the appdrawer and the widgets. No problem no lag. But with apex it struggles to load the widget icons when scrolling and lags. And it shows in normal use

holo launcher HD is pretty neat aswell, brings a ton of options. bases on googles original launcher2.
I've been using Nova since I got ICS and I love it. No lag and no complaints. Smooth as butter. Sometimes the CPU governor can cause some lag (like conservative or powersave). Double check to make sure that either of those aren't set.
Apex Launcher has become increasingly laggier recently. I switched over to Nova when it was on sale, and it's been so much smoother for me. Little to no lag or stuttering going through homescreens or when bringing up the app drawer.
hi all, i just flashed my phone to ARHD 15.0 and i noticed that when i slide left/right in the home screen, the wallpaper no longer slide, is there a setting for this feature to be enabled? i cant seem to find it
thanks!
Wallpaper scrolling in the latest jellybean update has been disabled. The same must have been done with your rom.

ohh, i see.. that kinda sucks anyways, may i ask why they disabled the feature? or can you point me to any links about this getting removed? thanks for the reply!
I think its something to do with a Apple patent. Apple are pure patent trolls and i hate them for that.

I guess it was basically because to allow the complete rotation of home screen.
also you can try different launchers.. wallpaper scrolling would work fine. It has been disabled with just rosie
Try apex or nova launchers.
I hate the way they got rid of it. It was something really cool in android, and I don't want to use a different luancher because senses looks nice also the extra ram usage, and its to much hasle to use Rom cleaner.
I'm pretty sure our awesome Devs will be able to add this feature to custom JB Roms.
6 screens
Anybody notice we only have 6 instead of 7 screens? There's a big gap where the seventh screen was supposed to be.
