Hi all,
when selecting a live wallpaper such as the Nexus live wallpaper on the G2X it seems like it causes some lag on the app drawer. The scrolling is choppy/laggy where when you have a regular wallpaper set, that is not the case.
I thought with such hardware like tegra2 these things would not happen...
Is there something we can do to fix this issue?!
This same problem/effect appears on Stock Froyo, eViL's GB2x, Xboarder's Stock Tweaked OTA Gingerbread, Gingerbread OTA 2.3.3 Rooted
Thanks,
Ive yet to find a device that with a certain amount of apps the app drawer doesnt lose FPS when a live wallpaper is active.
I too see the slight lag and choppiness and hate it and always wonder why LWP do that.
BUMP!
+1 on this! I have my phone running @1.2GHz and I've tried multiple launchers and multiple Live Wallpapers! Every single one lags!
My brother has a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (Single-core Hummingbird @1GHz - Stock), and it doesn't lag at all when he's running live wallpapers.
I'm on CM7, what's the deal?
I am on the latest CM7 nightly with the CM7 kernel with the Nexus live wallpaper with the ICS 4 Launcher and my phone runs so smooth and I have over 120 apps installed. I don't know why but when I was over clocked at 1.55 ghz I had.the same problem but when I went back to the stock kernel my app drawer and scrolling from screen to screen was smoother.

Does anyone know why this particular live wallpaper makes the phone more sluggish than others? It's my favorite one but if you notice.. the performance of the phone gets a bit more sluggish. Kind of noticeable. Is there a way to fix this? Or is Google going to have to fix this in a future update?

Could I ask what you are running in the background because the microbes live wallpaper is the best one for performance.

Really? Even when I kill all tasks it still runs the same. I'm not saying it's major lag going on that it's unbearable. But you can see when something like a window pops up or the app drawer comes up it doesn't look at smooth as it should be. When I use the Nexus S Live Wallpaper it runs a lot smoother for me.
Yeah the microbes wallpaper also does this on my nexus s. The app drawer doesn't scroll as smooth.
I've noticed this also.

My nexus doesn't have a problem. All the live wallpapers run at 18mb for every wallpaper including the microbs and nexus.
Does anyone know how to manually reinstall Microbes?
The custom ROM I'm using (OpenSoju) doesn't include Microbes, and I'm not entirely sure how to reinstall it back.
I tried flashing a 230kb Microbes.zip via Clockwork, but didn't work particularly well
Hey guys, just got my G2X whooo!!!
Loving it so far, got it home, immediately rooted and put ADW EX on it. I've noticed, however that ADW seems to bog when doing certain multitasking, like live wallpapers for instance. This is relative to the stock launcher that seemed to not be bothered at all by running a live wallpaper.
So my presumption is that ADW is yet to be dual core optimized and is probably using the same core as the live wallpaper and I'm wondering if anyone knows of another launcher that may be better suited to our ivory (dual core) needs.
Thoughts?
I've noticed the same with mine, the stock launcher is BLAZING and smooth but ADW and LauncherPro both stutter and are slow and painful. Just give it time for updates I would imagine.
Yeah I'm sure they'll come in time.
Just wondering if anyone knows of one that's already got the dual core treatment. Was a touch disappointed to try launcher pro and adw and go slower though i guess in this case it speaks to the insanely fast performance of the phone when optimized.
I wonder how the CM guys are going to handle this, since one of it's performance boosters is ADW.
Anyone try Zeam yet? That always seemed to be the quickest one on all of my devices.
Never heard of it.
Gonna try it out now though.
Really though, I think the problem is more so with the dual core optimizations than anything else.
well now im bummed. i love adw. damn it.
and how long does the delivery guy take?
damn. it.

Man, Zeam is the best launcher I have ever used. It just got a update too. It doesn't have as many options as ADW or LP but it's much faster.
how does go launcher perform on this phone ?
zeam runs pretty well, but not as quick as the stocker.
I had allot of force closes w/ LP+ on my dual core Atrix, I had to play with the memory usage settings to stop them. If you do, be careful and only change one setting at a time. I had to uninstall/reinstall LP once during my testing because of constant FC. I rarely ever see a FC now, maybe once a week. Its very smooth now also.
When I first used the phone I was mildly impressed. For some reason stock launcher was laggy, but once I installed go I was happy. Only thing that bothers me about the ui now is the white task bar, but hopefully there'll be an update soon (woohoo ginger).

I've had no problems with stock, so there's where I am now. With my SGS4G I switched to Launcher Pro, but with my G2X I don't feel the need at this point.
My stock launcher was around 30fps and it bugged the crap out of me.
I installed launcher pro and everything is 60+fps and buttery smooth.
It slows down a bit with the 3d app drawer though.

Also using Launcher Pro, and I'm having no problems with speed whatsoever. I did notice some lag when I used the homescreen transition effects that LP offers, but I never really used those anyway so it doesn't make a difference to me.

Same here, i have been using Go Launcher and i have to say i like it much better than ADW have not tried Zeam yet though. but Go is very smooth and i like the customization better.
I'm using ADW but don't use live wallpaper. The 4D app drawer and move wall paper background when sliding home pages, both of which are resource heavy, are really smooth. It might be a combination of ADW and something else you have installed that's slowing you down.
Any reason why ALL live wallpapers perform much better on my girlfriends Mytouch 4G? Both phones using Launcher Pro Plus and same live wallpapers. On the MT4G, Launcher Pro is much smoother.

The only thing I can think of is that they are not optimized for tegra dual core processors

I use the Doom live wallpaper, it is both epic, and smooth.

Like I said, it's all live wallpapers. I'm not getting any lag, everything is still snappy, just switching/scrolling through screens is choppy with live wallpapers. One the reasons I use Launcher Pro is for the super smooth scrolling.

I use zeam launcher. Thats smooth with live wallpaper..
I just tried out Zeam. You're right, live wallpapers does not slow it down. Too bad scrolling isn't as smooth to begin with though. This tells me that Launcher Pro just performs better on the MT4G.

ADW Launcher EX is good here.
It is not happening any more after switching to adw. It was happening on the stock launcher.

I run any of the live wallpapers and use the stock launcher that came with Froyo on the G2x and I have no problems with the live wallpapers. But when I was using Launcher Pro, it was kinda laggy. I think that Launcher Pro is just not for the G2x.
I run a few of the live wallpapers from maxelus.net ... **** is unbelievable causes no noticeable battery drain and runs smooth. And its pretty sick. Some wallpapers are BS and can make your phone run slow access personal info etc. You need to pretend this phone is a PC and all the no-no' s apply... including dl'g aps and or wallpapers

Any of you guys run the beach or windmill live wallpaper ported over from the Samsung galaxy s 2? I've noticed that my g2x lags quite a bit unless I O'CLOCK the CPU for better performance with either of those LWP on...... also if you could let me know if your battery takes a hit when you let the LWP turn on GPS to get current weather info?

Butter smooth with ADW EX...could be your launcher? ADW EX is hardware accelerated now (since May update) Launcher Pro is not.
Just tried Vortex Galaxy...It's sick! Oh, no lag with ADW EX.
Yes it is Launcher Pro + G2x that doesn't like live wallpapers. I just tried ADWEX and it was nice and smooth. I got a refund after 14 minutes, too bad we can't try it out out longer before we decide if we want to keep it or not.

Im have the captain America one and its fine i get to hit the shield and it all works fine. no lag for me
I have no problems with any of the live wallpapers I've installed (shadow galaxy, beautiful widget weather, nexus honeycomb, I-O hyperspace, Matrix, Asus Water, swirling Galaxy, thunderstorm and a few others as well as the stock). Tey all run very smooth. But I do notice some occasional lag when swiping between screens or with window/app launching animations- i.e some stuttering as an app window maximizes up, when there is a live wallpaper running. I feel like this is more pronounced after the most recent OTA update so I'm wondering if some of the new scrollable widgets are putting strain on the system too.
One thing you can check is whether the particular wallpaper you'e using has a setting to turn up or down the cpu usage. Might help.
My phone is rooted and over locked at 1500mghz. I have the stock aosp virtuous Inquisition rom on it and it still lags when I scroll with wallpaper scrolling on. I still have nova launcher on but ounces I took it off and it still would lag when scrolling. I knowbuou might say install another launcher but I don't want another launcher. I want this rom and this launcher to work properly. I known its not the rom because even before this rom my phone would still lag when wallpaper scrolling was on no matter what launcher I used. I just want WALLPAPER SCROLLING THATS NOT LAGGY. Is it a issue with all HTC sensations? This is also my 3rd sensation and it was the same thing with the other ones.
Also I don't have that many Widgets running. Even if I did it still shouldn't stutter. I don't see other phones lag when wallpaper scrolling is on. This issue is making me HATE MY PHONE.

I personally think is the ROM. I used virtuous inquisition 3.5 and it would lag to a crawl. So I decided to flash firmware 3.30 and then move to ARHD 6.3.0. Now 6.3.0 doesn't have the AOSP look and feel that we like so what I did was flash the ROM and then flash Shizlon theme from the theme section, and voila.
No lag whatsoever with Nova and I got the AOSP look that I was looking for.

It can't be the rom. Even with different rom scrolling through the screen causes slight stuttering. Even when I had cm7.1 and had my phone over locked to 1700mghz it still would stutter. Even before I rooted my phone and tried to run different launchers I would see a slight stutter when scrolling past the home screen.
