Roll on custom roms

same question here
adw is almost unusable
I found the same thing pretty much, that's why I've kept with TW for now, and to be honest, this is the only device I can actually cope with Touch Wiz on lol.

Hey guys.. found a solution for now..
Im using launcherpro and i bumped all the opening speeds up to max etc, now theres no lag when opening stuff!
thanks I'll try
think i may of been to quick off the mark.. still some lag on scrolling
Yeah, LP has been the best performing launcher on all my devices to date and i too bump all the speeds to ten but i get lag, ill just twiddle thunbs till ICS

Exactly the same here, Launcher Pro is no match for the stock TW....
The same here GoLauncher EX was too laggy...TW seems to run smoother than others---

I use Go Launcher EX and don't find it lags at all. I did use Titanium backup to stop TouchWiz launcher and its widgets from running.
Also you can download Spare Parts Pro for free and set Windows and Transition Animations to fast, this will speed up all the animations on the phone.
Hey I'm also using GoLauncher and at first there was a little lag but I solved it in this way:
Goto Preferences, Screen settings, Screen Transition Effects, Custom, and set Speed = 25 and Elastic = 55.
I've done that and its very usable, still stutters on drawing a GoWidget but I only have one so it's all good
I'd say increasing the speed would cause more stutter as its trying to redraw faster, so slower is the key.
I can't wait until they fully utilise the gpu as that seems to be causing the issue, either that or the fact that I haven't fully disabled TouchWiz..

hmm, my note should arrive either later this week or early next week. i might try out shell3d to see if it works well with the note.
Try zeam launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings. The smoothest launcher I was able to use on the note.

Hey Guys, I myself am an active cross platform user. I'll switch from Mac to PC and from my Android to my iPhone. I love my Android and all the features but I want it to be smooth! I mean just simple transition's and apps I want to be... smoother. I currently use LauncherPro and have used many other Launchers. They just don't satisfy. Could you all suggest me some ways to make my phone much more smoother? Thank you
Flash a ROM or install one of the tweaks.
Use Titanium to uninstall or freeze bloat ware, convert your launcher to a system app, and maybe try Spare Parts for making transitions/animations smoother

hey whats up.. what rom would you flash.. like what tweeks as well.. im running valhalla final..
You can remove most bloatware easily with my SGS4G Debloater. There's a link in my forum signature, right below this post. Removing bloatware will speed up your phone.
Yeah I've removed a bunch of bloatware my phone actually isn't bad at all, I'm just curious about a decent launcher... I've read the launcher thread, but I'm not vibing any of them.. One thing though is it okay to freeze the one launcher while you're using the other launcher??

Yeah, but even if you have all of them installed and defrosted they won't really conflict. If you press the home key you can switch between them. Pretty handy for testing
I'm really liking that spb one.. But I'm not sure about spending fifteen bucks for something that doesn't get updated.. But I just love the whole layout of that launcher..

I run Valhalla as well with lighting zap, zeam launcher, fast animations, and the kj6 beta kernel. My phone performs noticeably better than the 4s stock with boot time and app opening. Transitions are similar and scrolling long lists seem to perform better on the 4s. Assuming you are actively comparing the two, What differences are you noticing that tempted you to start this thread?

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

Follow the instructions and it will work.
Furthermore, I'm running Valhalla- it comes with this launcher, the modified touchwiz 4, on there. You do not need this for valhalla.

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them. Sorry for getting confused guys ill try to find 4.0 tonight again lol

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

Why are you resurrecting old threads and posting the same thing in each one?
I'm currently running the go launcher but seems a little laggy... which is the best
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using xda premium
It's laggy if you have SuperOSR/CM7 because the proc speed is set to 600 Mhz by default on these two ROMs.
What you need to to do is go to Settings ->CyanogenMod Settings -> Peformance -> CPU Settings -> Max CPU frequency: 800 Mhz
That should fix all laggy issues you are seeing.
Thanks .alex worked like a charm... I'm using launcher pro and it now works fluidly also...

Thanks,
I am using Go Launcher on i727. Doesn't seem laggy and never crashes. Batter still an issue unless I stop most active bloatware. True of all smartphones, S2 especially.
Using an upgraded samsung battery and have the cpu throttled down and still go launcher is my preferred choice. using SkyRocket Ice Scream Sandwich 7.3 ROM.

Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using xda premium
On the ChaCha, I use ADW because we can fully hide the dock (so there's more place for icons and widgets, it's not the same as when you hide the dock on Launcher Pro or Go Launcher) as I don't like vertical docks.
Good tip upping cpu- canes the battery life tho, just tried it today overall I like the speed but if I was a long time from charger could be bad!

The stock ROM has 800 set by default, that's why battery drains so fast.

Im using adw launcher ex. Its great! I made my own rom.. deleted all crappy apps.. deleted sense.. and replaced it with adw launcher ex.
Spacecaker do you use that one on the chacha?
I have been using ssLauncher for weeks now and it's easily my favorite.
It's atypical, extremely customizable, you can make really beautiful home screens and it works very well with landscape mode. Actually, my home screen scrolls down, so I have lots of widgets and icons and shortcuts that, otherwise, would have to go in a different screen, it's absolutely useful and free.
You can also share your designs, which is a huge plus, as people is starting to do so and there are some fantastic designs out there!

Also when I clear my RAM the launcher again reboots which takes some time.

-you can use holo launcher, less ram usage!
- u must be using nemesis launcher for it's widgets tab.. try tt launcher it's better than nemesis launcher!! just search it...

you can also try Apex or NOVA launcher, its much more faster and far smoother

Figured I'd try to help... I use Atom Launcher, my cellphone is very limited RAM-wise and this launcher is still a lot faster than the stock launcher. So to answer your question; launchers need to take some of your virtual memory (or they will have to reload), you just need to find one that you like that takes as few memory as possible (Apex, Atom, Lightning, Smart, etc.). Stay away from those bulky 3D eye-candy launchers and go for more minimalistic ones, they run faster. And don't use Live Wallpapers, they are power-hungry. Hope this helps
EDIT: If you like to use apps that force stops everything to free some memory, I suggest that you make sure that it doesn't stop your launcher and most used apps, so your device will not have to restart them every time, this will make your device faster in the end (keeping an app running in the background is a lot better than killing it and restarting it every 5 minutes).
