ADW Launcher - smoother, and more usable
Some one posted this over in Cyanogens site and on here.. (I don't take credit)
ADW Launcher - smoother, and more usable
1) Screen Preferences - Desktop scrolling speed - set to something low-ish like 150-200, default settings are just plain moronic here. Desktop overshoot should be fine at 30 or 40.
2) Drawer Settings - Horizontal Drawer definite on (this is far superior to the scrolling drawer if you have more than a few apps, and feels much smoother).
3) Drawer Settings - Zoom effect speed - 400 is a decent setting, default was way too high.
4) Drawer Settings - Columns/Rows - 4x4 is a nice setting for portrait, if you don't like a crammed screen.
5) System Preferences - Wallpaper Hack - check this. If you have issues, change wallpapers to something of a sane size.
6) System Preferences - Use Screen Cache - check this.
7) System Preferences - Scrollable Widget support - you should start with this unchecked. Only check it if you have issues with some widgets. In my experience it didn't make a huge difference in performance or smoothness.
There you go, 2 minutes invested in making ADW.Launcher faster and smoother than LauncherPro. If you use these settings and still find ADW.Launcher to be slow and chunky on a Nexus One, then there is something going on with your phone. I suggest doing a Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache, or freeing up some memory.

i have this problem frequently thats why i make mods and roms. i can get it but not everyone can, and even i sometimes have to wipe, and/or a bunch of other crap. its basically at your own risk but you can look and the pics HERE; it does work, and im using it currently as is anyone else using my cyan mod. i havent had time because i been busy but my intentions were to add update zip form but havent got back to it yet. when i make a rom or mod i install everything before i sign it and thats why it all works in them. it does work, its just very picky. i have many pics. it works just fine other wise i wouldnt even know what it looked like after i themed it

If you're going to post tons of files it might be useful to have a little bit of a description of what each one does next to it e.g.:
SPRINT VVM UPDATE.ZIP - this is the OEM Sprint Visual Voicemail App

Very helpful thread, Thank you.
One question I have is how to change the home screen. I prefer LauncherPro to ADW but when I try to switch Home screens with "Home Switcher" LauncherPro does not stick as the default home screen. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
I have been searching for a way to access or change my PRL using CM6?
I have installed EPST.apk from another rom, and I don't know if there are more files I must include, or if it's simply not supported yet.
So far, the only way I have been able to change my PRL is flashing an eclair rom and then flashing cyanogen nightly.
Thanks

i switched my prl before i went to cyan and since ive been here i flashed the radio suggested in the first dev thread and everything works for me great. personally i have never noticed a difference in prl other than one time my market apps wouldnt update right and after i accepted the new prl it worked. that was way back on hero though. I dont really trust the ota stuff, but you are cyanogen now dont even have to worry anymore with the htc or sprint bs.
also check out your cyangenmod settings in settings. manymany options. if you have any questions just let me know or post...

Upon further reading of this post and some of the links, (please excuse my stupidity) I take it these files are meant for cyanogenmod roms. If you install or flash them on other roms, it might break something.
I was curious about the two voice mail files. Both are different file sizes than the one that is in my rom, so obviously they aren't the same thing. I was tempted to try them out, but my common sense told me that these are probably meant for cyan's rom. I take it that it would be a better idea to wait until the rom is released to the masses before playing with stuff like this.
Am I understanding you correctly with these assumptions or not? With me still being kinda newbish, maybe these questions could help other people that are newbs too.

Thanks for this.
Also, I'm in the camp that typically finds your mods a bit too loud for my taste, but as a few people said in the thread, I really dig power up. Nicely done. Not that your other stuff is bad at all, just different strokes for different folks.
I'll probably try this one out if I'm not crazy busy sometime soon.
I started an FAQ/known bugs thread, but they moved it to Q&A, which has rendered it almost useless. I'll link to this, but if the mods let this one stay maybe we should merge my content into here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
It really seems like since CM is getting so much attention there should be a sticky that gets regular updates with known issues and features so people don't post the same stuff over and over quite as much. The OP on the main CM thread isn't keeping it very updated, but he did state that it should be a temp thread, he didn't offer to keep it updated.

As far as my app drawer to get it running smoother I downloaded the free adw one theme, switched theme to adw one theme then back to default theme worked perfect... Also get the transparent app drawer instead of black background with default which is pretty cool

hey good thinking. i dont wanna break my evo either. give me some details and ill give you some answers. the vm apks are different because one is in update.zip form(flashed thru recovery like a rom) and the other is the apk alone. as far as the apps being for cyan only; most of them can be used on any rom. this is just a cyan geared assistance thread. but let me know the ones you want to be sure and ill let you know from my own experience, since ive used most every version of every rom weve had so far what works and what wont. most should work fine. if you are new, i do not recommend messing with cyankeyboard until i put it in a zip.

is there any way to get only the kernel of this rom becouse im unable to flash the rom i got error flashing it
-and yes i try to use a newer recovery but when i apply update.zip it goes back to the old clockworkmode
or can someone give me a link of a newer update.zip or any idea

Stock Launcher2.apk Is Crazy Fast On Our Epics!! Root not required.

I am an AOSP stock experience fan boy so I immediately installed the stock 2.1 launcher on my Epic. Turns out it's ridiculously fast and buttery smooth.
3D effect and 5 home screens are included in this .apk. Root is not required for this to work.
Enjoy!

I think I love you..

Where'd you get that apk?

I don't find it as smooth.. I prefer Launcher Pro.

How does it compare to ADW?

This is nice but whatever happened to advanced launcher? It was a good aosp launcher from the 1.5 days and if I remember right you could hide apps from the drawer. Just a wonderin...

How to Turn Off/Disable TouchWiz:
I assumed not everyone knew this but you can disable the TouchWiz on the Epic:http://phandroid.com/2010/09/01/how-to-disable-touchwiz-on-the-epic-4g/
How to turn TouchWiz off. No Launcher App needed unless you want those personal features. No Root required. This is native:
You can just go to manage applications and hit menu and choose filter. scroll to TWLauncher and clear the default and when you press home button it will ask which home setting. choose the regular home and it will go to stock vanilla 2.1. And of course set the home you personally like as your default so it won't keep asking you which home setting do you want every time you hit the home button.
I just hope they keep this feature when it Froyo hits the device because some devices lose this feature when updated. Like the Hero did when 2.1 came to it. Doesn't make updates come quicker with this feature but it is nice to have. I do remember Samsung saying they would expect Froyo sometime this month for the Galaxy S. Let's hope that has some meaning to all versions.

Eh it doesn't work right in landscape on my phone. I switched back to Adwlauncher

It is only for 1.5 unfortunately, I liked it as well, and included it in most of my themes back then.
On the topic of this thread.....I am using ADW installed to /system/app/ and it is blazing fast as well. Suffice to say just about everything is fast on these phones.

Just curious here but you think it will work on the Vibrant and Captivate as well?
EDIT: Works on my Vibrant but fails to load widgets.

I was using TouchWiz, but I'll stick to LauncherPro if I get that functionality back.
EDIT: New favorite ROM by a rather gaping margin. I hope I wasn't being too anal about the screen rotation! Thanks man ;D

Nope, that's all good, that's why we have beta testers, to know what people want us to fix and what needs to be improved. That would have bugged the hell out of me too, I love my auto-rotation, I just use Launcher Pro so I just restore my backup when I first start up, so I don't ever have to play with settings again, it all just remembers me.

And if your on TW4Launcher go to preferences>homescreen settings> and select landscape mode and reboot. Landscape on that launcher is a bit buggy but works. If you use you home screen in landscape often I suggest a different launcher like Launcherpro, Adw or goLauncher

i reported the good so i must report the bad (there isnt much minor bugs)
1. as pope of the dope said what happened to landscape (which is weird because the auto-rotation button in the notification bar pull down menu is stuck and i cant unclick it)
2. if you do a pinch gesture you get a force close on the twlauncher
3. random button on the dialer over the "red x"
thats all i can find!
like i said before its amazing ill post a full review tomorrow after i figure out battery life and such

My phone rage quits life when I try to use the following apps: Gallery, WallPaper Wizardri, and Camera.
The camera causes FQs. Gallery & WallpaperWizardri both cannot detect any photos. Very odd.

For the launcher auto-rotation issue, read up about 3 posts.
The pinch gesture may just be broken. I'll look into it, but it's still a beta/buggy port from Fr4gg0r.
And I'll fix the button over the x quick too
@PopeofDope:
That's super weird, might be because you restored a data backup? Try rebooting into CWM and clearing the dalvik-cache in the advanced menu, that might fix the issues, as I don't have them here.
For those wondering, Dalvik is the VM system that runs android, and when you first start your phone, it extracts each apk individually into the dalvik-cache, so that it can run from there rather than having to extract the apk on the fly. However, the dalvik-cache is on the /data partition, so when you restore a backup of the /data partition from an older or different rom, you have to wipe the dalvik-cache so that it can be rebuilt from the new/current system

You also have to reboot after selecting that, not sure why, ask samsung why they created such a weird launcher.

Which MIUI Rom?

Which MIUI rom is the "best" for the g2x? I'm a little bored of CM7 and would like to try something else.

Try them all...

Is there a main "official" one? The thing is, I don't know too much about it because I guess XDA doesn't allow it or MIUI doesn't allow it on XDA?

There is jface and whitehawks port so only 2 to choose from.

For me personally I prefer whitehawkx version stems to have all features and everything is stable compared to jface
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river

On whitehawkx right now. No issues whatsoever. This is a stable as I've ever seen an ASOP rom.

I like the rom only reason i switched is mms pics i got were soo little i could hardly see them. I asked in 3 different forums and got no reply.

For users with tiny mms picture problem. Download GO SMS and set it to 1.2 MB and "Preserve Image Size" and you'll get good MMS pics.

Whats the best kernel to use with these roms?

Any cm7 kernel will theoretically work, I used faux though

I know, but miui has a beautiful messaging app, why should we have to use 3rd party bloatware..

I'm using miui4g2x 1.8.19 by jumaaneface
Seems to be a big step in the right direction over the very first MIUI ported ROM I tried.
WiFi Calling would make it perfect. Battery seems to be good.
I'm downloading 1.8.26 by Whitehawx now:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1858&page=45
I'll compare the two and figure out which one I like better. I really enjoy the blue default theme by jumaaneface. I don't think anything has been changed or updated other then using the latest 1.8.26 build (no G2x tweaks).
Update:
I don't really see any framework differences. I don't like the Boot Animation of Whitehawx. The one from jumaaneface had a sweet MIUI boot animation. Whitehawx 1.8.26 has the WiFi Calling app but it isn't seeing my SIM Card (which is the problem they've been having)... so no extra benefit there.
Music isn't FCing on the newer build which is a plus. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) app which wasn't in the older rom.
I could be wrong but battery seems to be chewing through the new build. From 8am-2pm I was at 60%. I flashed the new rom and booted up at ~55% and within 2 hours I'm down to 40%.
I did flash 1.8.26 over 1.8.19 so I'm not sure of any apps I carried over, only the new apps and features.
Running stock MIUI with stock kernel and Go Launcher.

Battery is awesome i can last a full work day without having to plug in.

After using it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed.
1. There's no "all apps" button.
2. No 2g/3g toggle built into toggles.
3. Can't even use PowerControl because you can't change its parameters.
4. Battery life seems worse than Cynogen.
5. When typing in URL, it will randomly close the keyboard.
6. Can't add custom shortcuts.

For starters use Go Launcher. They pair nicely. Else put a folder on the launcher bar and drop all apps in there.
Also use 8.19 because the latest one 8.26 killed my battery.
Why use powercontrol when you have every toggle in the pull down?
8.19 comes with swipe but the stock GB keyboard has a wonky dictionary. The fix is to just download the GB KB from the market and switch to it. It may also solve the hiding keyboard cause I haven't a problem with the market version.
The only downside I've found is that Maps doesn't appear to be intregreted very well with the stock browser. Usually I'll get a pop-up asking to open the link with the actual Google Map app which is easier to use on a mobile.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2

Whitehawks is great, never tried jumaaneface.

If you're a Wind user in Canada you cannot use whitehawkx MIUI because data does not work. You have to use face MIUI.

Switching back to CM7. MIUI is pretty terrible in my opinion.

miui 1.9.9
whitehawk version 1.9.9

Was using miui 1.9.2 and it ran great with minor issues like my led home lights would shut off and the only way to get them back was from the led setting or reboot. Sometimes my phone would just turn off thinking it was asleep but was actually off. I would have to pull the battery out to turn it back on. I downloaded 1.9.9 but haven't tried yet using weapon g2x 2.5 and so far everything is running smooth with no issues. I had to uninstall tw launcher cause it was force closing now everything is great.

As far as I know it's using striped sense framework, thats the reason why there is still HTC Cam and the BT is working...

Should be. It's using the official sense ics that HTC released.

Haven't really dug to much into the rom today (working) but a few things in no particular order:
1. Turning off wallpaper scrolling (Launcher settings > wallpaper scroll type) helps Launcher lag but doesn't alleviate completely.
2. Android keyboard will continue to crash until you go in and manually change default input to "touch input"
3. Some market errors.
4. New lockscreen for v4 miui is neat and not completely translated in this version (functionally fine).
5. Comes "overclocked" to 1.5.
6. Gps locked in about 10 seconds, first time.

Plus than miui, is a desensed miui skinned!
The miui framework is the only real miui thing in the rom
Radiofm, camera,keyboard and some settings are sense

So far it's alright. A bit sluggish and since this is my first MIUI, it's kinda odd, no app drawer, different icons, etc...
There are some chinese characters on the lockscreen, but the UI looks uber slick.
Feels a lot like an iPhone, in terms of restrictions.

I believe that's one of the main points of MIUI is the iPhone feel. However it does have some neat features built-in and the organization is slick and tidy.
My favorite is you can record your calls in the phone app.

Will have to check that out. It is a bit annoying having all your apps on screen. There's no way to hide them, unlike in the iPhone via SBSettings, or is there?
The launcher is a bit sluggish, but it's pretty stable to be used daily. Battery Indicator doesn't work, that sucks.

this is my MIUI v4

You can create a folder and then put all your apps in it to make an "App Drawer".

That's not much of help. The whole reason of an app drawer is for organizational purposes. It consists of two tabs, Applications & Widgets.
Nonetheless, my experience with MIUI v4 has been great. I've noticed that after several reboots (done purposely) the chinese characters translate themselves, I guess rebooting sets most things fine. The lock screen however still has some chinese. There are some Sense elements here and there, the keyboard, copy & paste functions but it's fine. I personally prefer it over any keyboard even AOSP. Videos play fine. As for the launcher, set the transition effect to [Classic (no overshoot)] for a smoother swipe between home screens.
