Hello everyone
I wanted to try launcherpro and ADWLauncher on my sensation but I noticed that LP appdrawer was laggy when opening.
About adw, that was the scrolling in the appdrawer that was stuttering.
I had the Desire S and it was the same. Is it because of Sense ? Is there any way to fix that ?
Thanks

Hmm mine is opening really smooth and scrolling is too. I'm using ADWLauncher Ex, and set the app drawer to Vertical New. It's really nice that way, even on my gf's SE X10..
It must be a problem with Launcher Pro. It's very laggy on Galaxy S2 too.
Maybe it's because of 2.3.3 ?
Anyway, Go Launcher Ex and ADW Launcher EX are smooth on my Sensation while ADW Launcher (standard) and LP are laggy.
So I'll use Go Launcher
If you like stock android. The gingerbread launcher runs smooth on every phone I've tried it on.

Running launcher pro and it runs very smooth for me
running adw launcher ex, having few lags at times when sliding between screens. Otherwise app drawer smooth as butter.
edit: actually lag is only when using expose or pressing home to return to main screen.

Hello,
Same here with ADW, very laggy on my Sensation, was really smooth on my Nexus One...
So those with alternative launchers like LP pro, or ADW, can you end task the sense launcher? does that free up a lot more ram?
Same situation for me as well, ADW was super laggy when sliding between pages in drawer. Launcherpro was fine for me, golauncher is buttery smooth and I've been using it now as my daily launcher. Launcher 7 is also buttery smooth if anyone wonders.

could you please tell me if it is possible to have transparent text background for icons with golauncher? Thanks
I plan on installing an alternative launcher.
- Can you still use the cool Sense 3.0 widgets like Friendsstream, etc.?
- Is the dialing app still the htc-sense one with smart dialing?
Try GOlauncher. Quick, responsive and very customizable

No, you won't be able to use the Sense widgets. You might find launchers with Sense-like widgets, but the official ones are on the Sense UI only

I've tried digging through the settings for icons, the only available ones are options to hide the icon label. You may have just to try it out yourself, just to make sure.
Is it only me or is it an issue with ICS on skyrocket. On all the ROMs I tried all giving the same issue.
The window size for most of the context menu options ( e.g. trying to add Widgets) is very small compared to the original I see on GB.
I am using ICS on my KindleFire also, and don't see this issue there.
So this seems something related to ICS and Skyrocket.
Anyone else to confirm this?
Is it a launcher issue? I have the ported SG3 TouchwizUX and stock Touchwiz loaded on ucle2. Add widget menus looks like this...

Personally I'm running the Apex launcher and I absolutely love it. By far my favorite launcher from speed to customization to down right sexiness. Here's what the widget menus look like, as well as my apollo widget made resizable by Apex (Sorry for the watermark)

Should probably also state I'm running CM9-6/20 Nightly on UCLE2
Its not only the Adding Widget Screen, its everywhere.
See the screen from Poker Deluxe Game.
The window is clipped.
Could not find a solution for this issue, moved back to GB 2.3.6
I've been on CM10 for a while, but for the last couple of weeks, I've been trying out the new JB Sense ROMs. Has wallpaper scrolling been disabled in the JB ROMs? It's been a while but I would swear that the Sense ICS Roms had scrolling wallpaper.

I've been wondering this same thing. It seems that since the homescreens loop from end to end it no longer scrolls the wallpaper. I've dug through the settings but could not find a way to change it.
Yes, it has been disabled, while ICS had scrolling wallpaper. This is due to the new feature in Sense 4+ that allows the homescreens to loop around, and HTC didn't want the wallpaper to get funky when moving from the last homescreen to the first, so they disabled scrolling altogether.
i just installed apex launcher and loving it. only question i have is can i make it have a lock sound when i screen lock?

Nothing to do with the launcher but what you after is under Settings/Sound
Has anyone had any problems with the stock launcher apps drawer flickering & jumping to the widgets tab when scrolling? I'm using cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-p5100-M2 on a P5100 and the last few nightlies I tried had the same problem.

I'll answer my own post - I just needed to change the apps drawer transition effect & all was fine.
