This phone isn't usable without LauncherPro for me.

Thank God for 3rd party launchers. I can't stand Sense and I have given it every chance as well. Apart from the extremely annoying frequent Sense reboots the phone lags and things feel slower than on my old Incredible. Just switching from Sense to LauncherPro without changing anything else I get back over 50MB of RAM. That's ridiculous, talk about bloat.
I still haven't s-off my phone yet but I'm starting to consider it. Especially when we get stable builds from Cyanogen.

Are you crazy you don't like sense3.0 it runs smooth as glass on my inspire but if you don't use the widgets I can see why you would go for launcher pro. But your nuts if you don't root. I would have had that puppy rooted the minute it came out.

Inspire Sense 3.0 and Sensation Sense 3.0 (Stock) are two completely different beasts. The stock build for Sensation has some issues.

I knew it came with Sense. My Incredible came with Sense and it was lightning fast. As much as I like it its too slow and buggy. Once they update it and hopefully improve things I might give it another shot.
Oh and this phone hardware is reason enough to buy the phone.

Personally, I like HTC's hardware. It's Sense I can always do without. I mean, c'mon! This is a forum for phone modding, not for keeping your phone like stock.

If I can't install the apps I want then the phone is useless. Enjoy limiting what you install on your phone to keep running how you want.

I have been using ADW on it since I got it. I hate Sense and always have. To much eye candy for no apparent reason. Ill take function over form any day of the week.
By the way, I just switched everyone from the other thread regarding this same topic over to ADW from LP and gave them my settings. The 5 that did all agree that ADW is faster than LP with the correct settings. Also, the free version of ADW will not be as fast due to it not having a lot of the settings. You have to purchase ADW EX in order to feel the speed.

Sense 3 is acceptable to me
But I prefer Google's original launch app
But LaunchPro and ADW are something makes wanna throw the phone right to the wall

Sense is just trash, period. Can't wait to get my CM7!

I can't figure it out but my phone hates Sense. Even after I uninstalled the Good for Enterprise app which I thought was causing the issues Sense starts slowing down and then craps out after a little while. It literally restarts Sense after every app install or update or even uninstall. I don't think its a memory issue only because there's plenty free but it doesn't happen right after a reboot either. I can't figure it out but it definitely seems like something is leaking memory or corrupting Sense.
When is T-Mobile releasing our update? I'm good using LP for now but it'd be nice to have a proper functioning stock launcher as an option as well.

I was running ADW EX for a few days. It was fast as ****, but I missed the Sense 3.0. Widgets and interface. My phone has no lag at all and works perfect with Sense as well. If it was laggy, I would definitely drop it for ADW. My brother uses Launcher Pro and is a big fan. To each his own.

Totally agree, to each his own.
For me ... this phone is totally usable with Sense...
Each launcher has it's pluses and minuses. There are quite a few alternatives to Sense widgets but none has completely done it for me. Same goes for HTC's apps, especially People/Phone and Email apps.
The major problem with Sense 3 was the many frequent Launcher restarts, which is almost solved now with the custom rom I'm using (CrystalPyramid), been using it for 3 days and it's been as fast as can be for me. I really can't be happier with my Sensation now.
The only two things I really miss about other launchers are changing home number of rows and resizable widgets.

I definitely have an app or something that is messing with Sense. It starts out well enough and then just craps its pants after a while. I would like to use it but can't if I want to maintain my sanity.

Have you tried playing around with the Memory Usage and other options under LauncherPro's Preferences --> Advanced Settings menu?
I was already pretty happy with LP's performance on my phone, but a couple of experiments with those tweaks made it even better for me. Hopefully it'll make things a little rosier for you too? That is, if you're even interested in LP anymore

I would get the white screen with green HTC logo almost everytime I went out of an app so, started using Launcher Pro. Today just for the frell of it
I decided to download Go Launcher EX. I got say its 1, Free, 2, there are
loads of free themes and 3 customizable!
The guy at T-Mobile said that once this phone gets 2.3.4 and the HTC
update as well then Sense might not be so buggy.
Here's a link to view about the launcher above.

I hate lag!

I have noticed that my phone is extra laggy since gingerbread. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do about this? I have turned off animations, live wallpapers, and am running launcher pro (which has been force closing a lot). The home screens and app drawer are occasionally laggy, but the browser is really bad. Again, this is the one area where the iphone kicks the **** out of android. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

LG's crappy code is probably to blame. Flash a custom ROM. CM7 if you want extra features. EaglesBlood 2.3.3 if you want stock feel.

To add to that, am I the only one who thinks froyo was smoother and faster?

I was having the same issues. Just last week I rooted my phone and installed xboarder's rom based on the ota update 1.2.2. My runs smooth, and it runs cold even when I play on it for hrs at a time. My phone started randomly rebooting after the official gingerbread update from LG. Clearly LG programmers are incompetent. My phone runs much better rooted. I suggest you do the same.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I am running xboarders rooted rom. Sorry I didn't mention that. It's not like it's unusable or anything. I just hate how powerful these phones are and that they aren't greasy, buttery smooth. I just feel like android in general should run better than it is today.

What exactly is being "laggy"? Switching homescreens? Scrolling? Opening/closing apps? Other things?

Try ADW Launcher, I've found it to run better than Launcher Pro.

Try miui or cm. Anything that didn't start life with LG is completely smooth in my experience.

I like Go Launcher...it's really nice on Xboarder rom.

Lag??? There might be something wrong with your phone, cuz this is the fastest phone out hands down, my phone don't lag at all

I recently switched from Launcher Pro to Go launcher. I liked LP but development is growing stale to keep my interest.
None are really perfect but some work better the head others especially at optimizing stuff like switching screens.
I like the Lp widgets but the themes with Go.
AdW launcher has the most options but I can't settle on it for some reason. I bought the EX version.

If you think the iPhones browser is smoother than Android, you obviously haven't used the most powerful Android device to date. The SGSII which uses a hardware accelerated browser. Its browser is the fastest mobile browser I've used to date. It loads pages and flash content twice as fast as my Sensation and G2X. The phone as a whole just feels so fluent. Whether you like Samsung or not, there is no denying they know how to code and optimize Android. In my opinion, they are the best when it comes to optimizing there Android devices unlike HTC and LG.
LG will never catch Samsung in the TV market in terms of display quality and they will never catch them in the mobile market.

G2X is pretty close to Galaxy S2 in general speed but stock browser is far behind. Maybe you should try other browsers like Opera Mobile/Mini and Dolphin HD.

The next update will have hardware acceleration. Ill tell you why it hasn't been implimented yet. It is a lot harder to code a operating system for multiple hardware configurations than it is to code for just one. It takes so many more man hours to figure out how its going to work on current handsets and cuter handsets.
In the end, if Android was only on one handset, it would already have hardware acceleration.

I know it doesn't help you a whole lot but in your OP, you compaired the iPhone to Android as a whole. I felt the need to tell you that it is not smoother than Android as a whole because there is a Android handset that bests it when it comes to overall smoothness, not only in the UI but also in the browser. If you would have said, "this is one area where the iPhone beats the G2X" instead of "this is one area where the iPhone beats Android". I wouldn't have brought it up.

Browser lag ever fixed?

Hey guys I'm just wondering if Samsung ever released a fix for the stock browser lag.
I was thinking about getting the phone but this is holding me back.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App

Given that you seem to have an issue with any Samsung phone you have, regardless of how big or small the problem is, you're probably better off just not getting it, because even if the "browser lag" is fixed, you'll just find another thing to complain about.

Next he will be complaining about the lack of an LED and saying BLN is not a valid replacement.

No offense, but that is pretty sad if that is the "only" thing causing you to pack up the Charge. What do you like about the stock browser so much that you don't use an alternative anyway? If the problem doesn't exist for the other browsers, why not just use one of them? I can think of a handful of others that are much better than the stock browser anyway.
Seems like you are just trying to bash Samsung for no particular reason.

No im not bashing. I had it once before. And got rid of it for that reason. But i heard the lag was fixed. That why I ASKED IN THIS POST ..... The reason i like the stock browser is it handles alot of webpages better.... Format wise. Its just a taste. Trust i would rather be on a 4g phone.... The thunderbolt was just to big and heavy for me. So i went with the charge. Not bashing... Not meant that way.

Stock browser consumes extreme amounts of CPU.
Do not use

Not gonna bother reading the thread still gonna chime in through, the stock browser sucks but if you're asking about the glitch that was in all the DC reviews where flash froze the browser, then that has been fixed a long time ago.
Also, for browsers I'd suggest replacing stock with Dolphin HD(or Mini, uses less resources) or Opera.

Performance? Stuttering

Yeah. I miss the i777 Exynos. Everyday, I find something that used to be perfect on the i777, but choppy on i727. But when LTE hits California 2-8 months from now, it'll make up for it when I tether.

without knowing what those with this issue are running it is very hard to say. do not limit your list to just widgets. list all 3rd party apps and stock apps that you have not removed. also include what rom and tweaks you have done...

At&T SGS2 was running super smooth for me, no matter how many Widgets, live wallpaper or apps running in the background. The only slight stutter I ve seen on the skyrocket is in the launcher and only visible when running a few Widgets. Could be a firmware issue from "Samsung" not stock android. Comparing perfomance iPhone to android is not fair at the time, if anything compare it to WP7 since there's no multitasking, Widgets, background process, live wallpaper,ect on either phones.

Is the stock browser supposed to be so smooth?

I've had my Nexus S for almost two years now. At first, I flashed probably every ROM that existed. After a few months I just wanted to use my phone. So I stuck with MIUI. I never really stood still by the performance of that ROM. When the Nexus 4 was announced, I wanted to upgrade at first. It wasn't (isn't) available, so I had to wait. In the meantime, I flashed another ROM (JellyShot) again for the first time in months. Again, I didn't really stand still by the performance. I used the Chrome browser, and browsing wasn't really smooth, but I thought: that's normal for a 2 year old phone.
Because of certain reasons I decided to skip the Nexus 4 and wait for the next Nexus. But if I was going to hold out for another year with my Nexus S, I needed the smoothest and fastest ROM/kernel there was. So I found Rasbeanjelly. Together with the Marmite kernel and the BM seeder tweak, my phone is blazing fast again. I use Smart Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree), a very basic launcher with a nice UI that uses very little RAM, and a very nice lockscreen theme from magiclocker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xvY2tlci50aGVtZS5wYWlkLmhhcm9uLkNpcmN1bGFyIl0.). With almost no effort I made my Nexus S look fresh, beautiful and fast again.
But let's get to the point. The biggest improvement I noticed was the browsing. For the first time in months, I used the stock browser again. I can tell you, there is a BIG difference compared to Chrome. Is it my ROM/kernel, or is the stock browser supposed to be so fast? And is there an even faster browser? If so, I would really like to try it.

Big fan of Naked Browser here. Fastest I've seen, simple, just works. The options are incredible and it starts instantly, just like the default browser.

Gonna try it now. I like the layout of the stock browser, and as long as it runs smooth, I don't really have anything to complain about, but naked browser looks cool too. Thanks!

It's mostly because of the configuration. The UI is very bare, and it's meant to be that way, but the features and the constant dev support is what makes it shine.

Nah, I get it. If you're gonna stick with "as minimal as possible", you really have to stick with it. He even made the icon look terrible . Some layout for the bookmarks screen for example would help the user experience though. But I would rather have him focus on making it even smoother, or adding a feature that actually matters. If you use the Naked Browser, you obviously don't care about looks anyway.

Yeah, but minimal != ugly. Or not user friendly. One can make something minimal but still practical and great to see. That's my main gripe with it, but no other browser can rivalize with it's speed. Can't have everything for nothing!
