Is this normal/ - T-Mobile LG G2x

When I enable a live wallpaper, a performance hit is to be expected, but on this phone it seems to make the app drawer into a low frame mess, and I don't recall this happening on the g2 or vibrant I had.
I love my live wallpapers but it makes the drawer so ugly, so i just have to settle for a static one.
I'm running eaglesblood 1.03. Does this issue happen on froyo?

I'm using the Windmill "secret" live wallpaper on stock froyo and my app drawer is fine!
Do you have an example of a laggy wallpaper I could try out?

Changing the display brightness from the status bar

I noticed that if I hold and slide my finger on the status bar, the brightness will change accordingly: to the left = darker and to the right = brighter. Is it documented anywhere?
Not sure if extremely well known, but it has at least been brought up several times in different captivate threads.
As long as auto brightness is off

It's a Touchwiz feature. It has been there since forever. It's strange they don't mention it anywhere in the quickstart guides or anything because I use it daily.
Honestly on cm7 just put a brightness switch in your notification bar.

Best Launcher

What' is the best launcher for lg g2x that won't mess up cause lately I have been getting google errors and by contacts lose the name and it just shows the numbers and I will have to reboot my phone then it will all go back to normal but then my launcher messes up like adw for instance I turn my phone back on then it's all weird everything starts back over and my theme is gone?. So I was wondering why the google thing does that and what may be the best stables launcher.

No lag here. GO is super smooth for me. Do you have your phone overclocked or underclocked/undervolted? Or have you installed a custom kernel?
Sounds like your phone is having issues that run deeper than your launcher.
I've tried a few, but I've stuck with GO. Every other one I tried was just disappointing...
and yea, that sounds like a phone issue, not a launcher issue.
No my phone is not rooted at allbits in good shape and the launcher I love and chose is launcher pre its really smooth and very nice but thank you for everything for the opinions appreciate it

I tried it and um its okay but this is off the topic but I wanna know what phone is better in yalls point of view LG g2x our HTC sensation?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'm gonna go with the G2x, I no longer trust in HTC's reliability or in how they put thier stuff together after owning a HD2. Plus, I like the Tegra 2.
Its about preference. If I could go back I would change a thing. Well I would stop the part of dropping my phone and scraping it lol. Other then that I would not change a thing
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I would have probably not dismantled my HD2, you can get more for ones with a cracked screen on ebay than ones that have been completely taken apart, working or not. Plus I hate the fact that HTC tapes their digitizers to their phones, seems kinda hillbilly'ish if you ask me.
The stock launcher from Froyo!
i use go launcher and i think it lags a little but maybe it is just my phone. i still like it though
Thank you once again and ill give go launcher a.second change and I would try the stock froyo ha and LG g2x Tegra is Raw but I hate how this phone reboots by them self it gets annoying at times

Will this completely replace the stock lockscreen or is it just another program/overlay?

replaces lockscreen, but if you have a lock pattern it will show up as well
thanks for the suggestions, this works great (cept for the chinese). The Magic Lock suggested works great.
Thanks for the link, much appreciated. I used this lock screen app for about 3 days, there are some beautiful lock screen themes included (and downloadable) for this app. BUT...... It is a MAJOR battery hog. On average I was loosing about 2 to 3% battery drain per hour. At the end of my work day (9 to 10 hours), I'm usually around 75% on my battery with stock lock screen. When I started using the MIUI app, I was down to 50 - 55% battery at the end of my day. Switching back to stock lock got my percentages back to normal. If you can deal with the battery drain, it's cool app, even with all the Japanese lingo, lol....

The lock screen is called MiLocker. And while I-launcher is paid, it is only 2 dollars. And thank you thcnme956, I like it when people share my videos. I also don't like apple, but I do have to say I love the beautiful UI they have. I was getting kinda board changing LP and ADW and I like to see a change on my phone so yeah. And while DX-home is free, it doesn't have the whole IOS look. Try Espiar Launcher, it is free, but you won't be able to do some of the things on iLuancher.
The latest version force closes every time I try the new change icon/app name feature. iLauncher now is far behind Espier Launcher in terms of stability and usability. I did pay for iLauncher to support the developer but the app is actually getting worse with every update.
Just install a miui rom ;-)
MIUI doesn't look like iOS to me and is available for selected phones only.

I'm not a big fan of iOS, just testing exotic launchers
iLauncher got updated and the icon/text edit fc bug is fixed. Now I see another "small" bug - from time to time the phone freezes and none of the keys can bring the home screen. Reboot is the only cure. This dev is hopeless. Seems like he is trying to do something but he doesn't know exactly how. Every update has a MAJOR issue that makes the entire app unusable.
And in the menu there is "Restore hidden apps" option, but no "Hide apps" option. Interesting.
Testing continues... just for fun. :laugh:
You can also try espier launcher

Cannot use widescreen wallpaper after ICS install

I just loaded the ICS leaked and Now I cannot use images from my gallery as widescreen/scrolling wallpaper. Is there a setting I. Not aware of. It seem to flash the control for a second then goes away. Help please.

I had the same question. Fixed it by installing a more ics gallery. Try this. Thank me if it worked!

I was able to load the new gallery but still it will not let me do the wallpaper in wide/scrolling mode like the ones in the wallpaper gallery. I was able to do this on in gingerbread...this sucks.
I also tried the new gallery and didn't work for me... but I found a quick and easy fix; no reboot required.
Just install and apply a wallpaper from the App Zedge from the Market; a.k.a Google Play... (new name really sucks BTW).... once you do this, the scrolling wallpaper is back.

What you have to do is open ics gallery select the picture and hit menu set as, then wallpaper. If you select home screen wallpaper it will not work.

I use one click and apex launcher. Everything works great. But i think apex will work with any rom.
Yeah, it looks like he switched launchers and it started working correctly for him. I think it actually may be a launcher/gallery combo as well. I wish I could remember what I was trying when I saw that it wasn't doing the widescreen correctly.
I am on the leaked ICS ROM. I found it is the touchwiz launcher gallery combo that has the issue. I now use Google+ to set a image I want to use as widescreen.

Seriously. Use it for everything. Gallery is broken.
I'm on Sky ICS UCLD2 base and I can set any 960X800 image as a scrolling widescreen wallpaper just like in GB.
