A couple days ago I pulled the trigger and purchased one of these since it doesn't look like the Note is coming to ATT. I use GoLauncher EX and change rows/columns to 8 each. On my Galaxy Tab 8.9 and my old Streak everything was dandy; all the icons and Widgets resized appropriately. But with this Skyrocket, the icons and Widgets do not resize. It just cuts off the graphics that's outside the allotted space. Where's the setting(s) to allow the graphics to resize appropriately????

Try the Go launcher settings to resize widgets, maybe stretch to fit.
Tried that. It's not a Go Launcher issue. Same thing with Launcher Pro & ADW.Launcher.

4x4 resizes fine for me. I tried 8x8 and it looked like crap. Icons were all broken up.

Hi everyone. I'm experiencing a slight lagging on the screen transition animation. It is occuring when I'm not on the proper orientation, such as when I hold my tablet portrait, or when on the flipped landscape (Samsung logo on the top, camera on bottom). It's just not as smooth as when I hold my tablet properly (Samsung logo at the bottom).
Is this a common issue or is it just my tab?
Here the detailed info about my tab.
a rooted stock ICS firmware
Baseband: P5100DXLD3
Kernel: 3.0.8-542818-user [email protected]#1

Its called touchwiz. Install cm9 or deal with the lag. Just how it is.

As if every phone manufacturer tried hard to make already smooth phone lagged, my previous SE x10i lag horribly when using stock UI with added timescape, after rooted and using custom rom, it runs smoothly despite only 384 RAM and old snapdragon proc.
I wish hardware manufacturer like TI, Qualcomm, etc would release drivers just like PC / notebook and let us install OS of our preference.
The launcher comes with Touchwiz UI is very bad. It slow, heavy and lag very much although good hardware properties. Try another laucher such as GoLauncher HD for Tab and you will feel the smooth.
The stock launcher is really really worse, I replaced it by Go laucher hd and gaming is more smooth very much.

I too have the same problem with my tab even after an official update to 4.2.1. It really disappoints me while playing games. Hope samsung guys fix this very soon
I've also seen tablet of friends and I think it's a common issue.
Carbon Rom is awesome, made my tab twice as fast, plus it has a much better kernel included. Check it out! Based on CM 10.1.

How came single core phones can run nature ux without the stutter?

those single core samsung devices usually run at lower resolutions and have less touchwiz bloat added

I know it sounds silly, with such a big screen, why would we want a UI that consumes so much of the screen? Well I think it would just be kinda neat to see it on the Xoom, who knows maybe people like it more? Is there any possibility of this happening? I have EOS 3 126 and it is running just fine.
Here's some more info for you, even though I don't have the answer.
Nexus runs phone UI, Xoom runs tablet UI.
Nexus can be tweaked to run tablet. My guess is its a build.prop tweak.
See that's what I thought cause that's how you get the Nexus 7 to run the tablet interface, so I don't know of the same thing can be done with a simple build.prop mod.

To get the phone UI, you need to change the DPI I believe. I tried it and my XOOM didn't boot, had to reflash my ROM. Probably not a good idea.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Same, I was messing with the DPI but after I did that it just wouldn't boot, which sucks.

I wish I had a link to the article so this wasn't such an anecdotal response but I'm 99% sure that I read the ui the nexus uses is actually an in between mode for 7ish inch screens. The thing I read said there was a phone, a 7" and a 10" mode. The only reason I bring this up is that I would be interested in seeing that other view too just to compare so if you find anything else on the subject please let us know.
Edit: http://liliputing.com/2012/07/how-to-change-the-nexus-7-user-interface-to-full-tablet-mode.html
That article has a little more detail on the three ui modes and lists the dpi of the nexus 7 (213). As well as what range to set it to to get it to display the full tablet mode. This might be a good place to start from to try to get the xoom to go down to the middle size ui mode

Well, compare nexus to phone UI. It seems the same.

Not really, in landscape the notification tray pulls down covering only the left of the screen and in portrait it only covers the middle of the screen.

If anyone finds a ROM with nexus style ui plz post it I'd love to try it out on Xoom or gnex and won't get a n7 until Oct or DEC 25
I don't think it is possible t get the Nexus 7 UI n a phone with a smaller display....

I made a universal mod for this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898907
I really like this on my Xoom, it makes the screen a little weirder to type on but that's only in the beginning, after a while you get used to it. It feels a little slow when dragging the notification window down but it feels faster in some other areas like scrolling through my pages of apps in the app drawer.

Sorry to double post, but I have to say, your universal mod is SO much better on my Wingray. Much faster, the bar is a lot bigger so the soft keys aren't so small and difficult to tap and it is just overall less glitchy, with the other mod, my Xoom restarted every time I held the power button, with yours everything works just fine. Thank you so much.
Oh and the keyboard is so much bigger and better to type on, it seems the other one makes the screen size feel smaller so it all is very much wasting screen real estate.

i guess Android is not ready for such high resolution because most app icons look like blurry dirt on our screen. Not what i was expecting. It stand out from the screen. When i show my infinity to people they notice the lowres icon right away.
??? No idea what you are talking about.
Pics describe a thousand words.
Had a prime and now have an infinity - everything is sharp on my screen.
Have you messed with the DPI at all or have you installed the TF300 firmware?
My icons are not blurry or pixelated in any way...

U can see icons like my library, my cloud, file manager etc. They are lowres icon madefor 720p res screen and have been expand to 1080p ending in a blurry icon. I cannot believe noone has notice this. U can clearly tell which app icon were upgrade to this screen and which were expand.

i forget that a lot of people aren't into customizing their screens and using alternate icon sets. You can do so much with what's available for free or cheap in the Play Store.
This is the app makers fault, not the tablet. For the Asus apps they're to blame of course, but other apps can only be fixed by the app developers.
But yeah, some apps still have low resolution icons which looks bad. In-app graphics that's low resolution is worse though.

and this is why i laugh at people who swear by a 1080p 10" device. all the detail they claim they can see but can't see how blurry a lower res icon is. i deal with this all the time at work when customers send low res images.
that's not saying i wouldn't like a 1080p screen, it's just that people really don't notice as much as they think they do.
but really, what can you expect? a lot of apps are just now starting to catch up to 720/tablet sizes.
Believe me - the difference is *very* noticeable! I loaded CM10 on my TF101 this morning - the difference is much bigger than you think! I personally, never really cared about the icons - they are just icons! But the difference in text is immediately noticeable!

after watching a few review, one of them answer my question. He said the same thing about the icon looking blurry because they have not optimize the icons for 1080p resolution.

I have a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it is very laggy on the home screen. Is this normal? Here is a video I made with my camera
http://youtu.be/a3tyXOrQ4oo
Before I send it back I just need to check if it is normal or not
Without seeing the video, I'd say it's normal for the default home screen (Touchwiz) to be a little laggy when compared to a vanilla Android (like the Nexus 7) or a third-party home screen like Nova Launcher.
I'd personally recommend Nova Launcher.
it is not THAT laggy. and with JB update it is smooth.
In slow motion land, that is not normal. Try making a proper video first
not normal @ least in my experience mine has virtually no lag! I think that the opinion That Touch wiz is Laqqy is a bit off I have both the
S3 and N 10.1 and neither is at all Laqqy

Thanks for the useful comment.
I have updated the video to a higher quility.
Also waithing for Samsung Techy to call me back regarding this.
I did the slow motion to show the jumps it makes. some times it is smooth to some extend but most of the times it jumps huge parts.
Factory reset did not fix it and installing JB will void my warranty. So if there is a hardware issue then I will be stuck with it,
Try a different launcher from the play store like Nova it apex see if that helps. Also try clearing the cache for the touchwiz launcher if another launched works then u know its not hardware.
