So, when the nexus one first came out I was in LOVE with the lwp's it came with and that comes with the Nexus S. However, with this launch, they only made the nexus lwp worse but included the microbes lwp which is my new love. Problem is that it really lags the phone quite a bit so I was wondering if there would be a way to optimize performance on it?
So only thing I could do was optimize the .apk itself (only down a few kb) which didn't do anything but when I archived the .apk I couldn't find any xml code for the app? I've noticed on the lwp that purple smog/fog moves. If there's a way to get the smog to stay still and just let the microbes move along with touch input I believe that will improve scrolling performance alot and won't use so many resources from system
works just fine for me...
It also lags for me to i think the problem is with the CPU being scaleable if I'm under heavy load it works fine but if I wake the screen it lags for about a min then starts working again

Mines works, and when first applied scrolls decent. but after awhile it just slightly bogs down the system. I'l try to pull it from 2.3 source and mess with it
Mine doesn't slow down anything at all.
It works fine for mine.

Any progress on this?

I'd like this as well. As soon as i apply it, I can detect lag in any swiping or scrolling. Pretty annoying since I like swiping across my homescreen to be super smooth. Thanks in advance for any progress on this!
Microbes also my favorite wallpaper. But I do not understand why they do not have for CM or i missed something?
Can someone upload the microbes apk? Thanks

Oh I know I was just looking at the screen transitions though and thinking about ADW that's all
Other than the new transitions, can any of you who are using comment if it's smooth and fast on the nexus s? I had it previously and it actually slowed down the phone rather than making it faster/smoother like it did on my nexus one.
Just waiting to reinstall it. Thanks guys!

Quit waiting and install. It really is smooth as can be now. Haven't seen a single stutter.
Before the update it was so herky jerky for me that I switched to adw. Its great to be back. And the 3d launcher seems to be fixed as well.

Worked smoothly before the update and just as smooth after.
the 3d app drawer option still doesn't work for me. very glitchy/lots of stutter when scrolling with it. otherwise very smooth in all other areas. now staying with LP from adw ex.
I've just downloaded it for my nexus s.
On the one hand the home transitions are perfectly smooth and I really like the visual effects.
On the other hand the app drawer scrolling got worse, it's laggy, that nice visual effect where I could see the previous and the next app icons is lost and the orange effect that showed me when I reached the end of the list is half-ruined (only the lower effect doesn't work like before, the upper one is fine)
Not really satisfied, I'm hoping in a new update.
Edit: first issue solved: the glow effect when you reach the end of the list is now perfectly working after i disabled the "home icon in app drawer" option.

I am not sure why people keep saying they are seeing lag. I am seeing ZERO lag on home screen scrolling and none in the app drawer either.

I've never seen a spec of lag with LP on any phone except my MT3G which was a piece of feces.
I get lag when using pinch-zoom to view my 7 home screens. I disabled the 3D app drawer bc it's still buggy. Other than that I love LP and its new transition effects!
LP still stutters when scrolling through the appdrawer ... I use livewallpapers and adwex is glass smooth when scrolling through the appdrawer ... I'm keeping adwex.

That's your prerogative but I've honestly never seen that once. Not on my Epic, not on my Evo, not on my wife's Evo Shift, and definitely not on either of our Nexus S' which leads me to believe there is something else at fault and not LP. Heck, I never even saw it before I donated and upgraded to LPPlus. Hope you enjoy ADW Ex!

I can go on with a list if phones I've had LP installed on and never had a problem. I gladly donated and don't regret it (don't get me wrong I love LP) ... The very very very first app I installed when I got my NS out the box was LP ... I noticed right away that scrolling through the appdrawer with a livewallpaper was kinda choppy. Countless roms later and this update ... its still the same ... I'm just thinking it's a 2.3 thing.

I hope you didn't take my tone to be rude, I was merely stating that I've never (again the MT3G but it was a slow phone period) had any issues so the arising of issues for people seems to baffle me. Also, I was implying that in a lot of cases issues can be related to user-related problems (IE if you have a lot of apps, your app drawer has to populate a huge list and might show some lag, or having a lot of badly written widgets might cause some stuttering on homescreens, etc).
Saw this on the Fascinate board. I pulled the .apk from the zip.
Ive only had it for about 10 mins. I have noticed the scrolling on the main page is different, and overall it feels more snappy.
Post any differences if you discover them.

Probably. As long as you are running Froyo or later. It works on the Fascinate and Epic.
The scroll thing is ok, it is faster and also there is a share app option.. if u reccomend an app and I'm going to use it right now..

Scrolling seems a little buggy to me except it feels a lot smoother when scrolling through the top list of apps (where it shows the full picture in front bog the green background). It is a bit faster building the apps and there's a share option.
Seems pretty good. My only complaint is that the scrolling could be a bit smoother.
Thanks for sharing though.

I just wanted to post it here for you guys I just got this working on MIUI. I don't know if it works with CM7, but you guys could check.
BTW, this is flashable and should work on all GB roms.
I fancy giving this a try, I'm on an sgs2 though so are there any reasons why I shouldn't?

It should be fine with everything flashed through CWM 3.x
AFAIK it works on all gingerbread samsung roms and MIUI
edit: and if it doesn't work, nothing bad would happen. You'd just try to apply the wallpaper and the set wallpaper screen would FC.
Just tested it on villain rom 1.4 and it works perfectly, thanks!

No problem.
I couldn't get it to work on Cognition 5 Beta 3 ... No force close but just a black screen. What is the folder I have to go into using a file explorer in order to delete the file and stop it from showing up under my live wallpaper menu? Thanks.

Just installed this on Pinnacle (I know it comes with it but thought I'd try this version) and the problem I'm having is it is squished on the sides. I know when I had it on MIUI it was fine. Any ideas?
Best implementation of this wallpaper I've ever seen for this wallpaper on a non-sense build. Don't know why I've been so obsessed with getting it working (except that it looks great), but thanks!
Anyone has the ICS live wallpapers?

I was wondering if there was a way to change the number of screens on the Droid 3's motoblur. I noticed the welcome video had 7 screens and that sounds perfect to me. Also, does motoblur no longer have profiles? I'd love a work/home profile for apps.
-cm
It's not Motoblur, whats on this Droid!
More homescreens means another installing launcher I think...
I would also like to figure this out, I only want 3 screens, 5 its more than I need
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I prefer one screen myself, with my most used apps nearest the bottom + the dock buttons. I use Launcher Pro for that. Launcher pro also allows me to hide over 30 stock apps that I don't want to see. LP will allow for up to 7 screens.

I'd love to agree with it not being Blur, but if you go to the Files app, Internal Storage->Android->data, and scroll down the list, one of the folders is for an app named 'com.motorola.blur.home'... hmm... I wonder what that could be It seems Motorola themselves just wants to move away from the name, but they can't seem to update their apps to reflect that
I was running 1 screen for a while on my OG, and loved that set up, but I'm using more widgets now than I was then. And until I can use that sweet quick contacts widget in LP, I'm stuck with the blur.

I have this and it works fine on my NS4G. I dont use it as a daily however.
I tried making a post last night from the phone lost it and said "screw it".
I use(d), as of today, it on my Nexus S 4G with MiUi and Bugless Pete kernel.
It works for awhile, I don't know what the trigger is, then it locks the phone up.
"restart and save" from the menu doesn't work as well as the hot reboot and a few other things.
Today I switched to ADW Ex, I liked TouchWiz but I'm starting to thing there's something "missing" or it's incompatible with MiUi.
I tried this for a few hours on brainmaster's MIUI. Got a bunch of FCs during that time so I went back to the default MIUI launcher.
Tried it on CM7 and Oxygen. Works at first then starts to freeze. Would be nice if someone could get this to work 100%.
I had this running on Oxygen and while the launcher itself seemed to be running fine, I was unable to get any of the widgets working. Have any of you had success with the TW4/GSII widgets? Clock & weather specifically.

I'm running it on a stock setup, once in awhile it will lag, when I hit menu>edit it will FC, other then that it runs and looms pretty good.

It doesn't work. I only get two icons on the dock (messaging and the app drawer), and nothing else at all.
Will I ever be able to find a launcher that has the dock icons exactly the same size as all other icons, but not slow as hell like ADW...
