Hi.
Witch luncher you using with CM7 ? I installed lucher pro (really like it!) but it's working very bad. when opening/closing menu is working very very slow... any idea how to fix it ?
Regards,
siamer
[edit]
OK i fixit by using 3D drawer (experimental)! fixing that problem thanks anyway. maybe will help someone
I'm using ADW Ex on CM7, and it works great.
I checked the memory usage of LauncherPro and ADW and the last seems to use less memory.
To change the opening and closing speed in LP, go to preferences->advanced. Choose opening / closing speed and set the values to 8 or higher from the default 4.
sorry maybe i didn't write good. when I was opening/closing menu than sytem was laging, it's not about speed up but about working fine (english is not my nativ language)...
anyway enable 3D drawer is fixing that problem.
In my situation luncher pro is working much, much, much faster than ADW but it's only my opinion. After installing lucher pro and removing adw system is faster - or maybe it's only ilusion
thanks!

Hello!
I've updated my phone to the official JP6-ROM from Kies. I like it, it's quite fast and feels better in actual use than the stock 2.1 I had when I bought it.
But, as with 2.1, TouchWiz is sooooo laggy. I'm glad they've added a 'glass' dock background to the homescreen for your basic icons, but it seems as if the lag / animations have remained unchanged (possibly gotten even worse).
Is there any way to fix this? Searched the forums but didn't find anything.
I use LauncherPro now, but if it wasn't for the lag, I would use TouchWiz Pro because I actually like its look.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.:
If there isn't any fix available, would someone be interested in optimizing it for JP6?
First I thought the same. Ohhh feels fast. But when you have many programms from the market and look in the helicopterview... omg...
Didn´t they test it with some more apps? I´m work with launcher pro. Look at it. It is better! You have many options to play with. In the paying version you have also some nice widgets. Give it a try.
I have 6 pages of apps. If I slide fast between pages it acts so laggy.. (this issue is not present in eclair). Also pinch to zoom out in app drawer it's extremly laggy.
Tried Laucher Pro (was a fan of this app before)... yeah, it's faster. But I like more the touch wiz launcher..
Problem is that when i use the latest version of LauncherPro after a few hours of usage i get.a really stupid but very sad bug. My notification bar won t get down when I drag it. Only menu > notifications. Darn stupi.
On 2.1 launcher pro was the only launcher i used. Ao nice so fast, and niw so buggy. Sh1t

wrong section
moved
i hope this is the right section if not please move. but is launcher pro the only one where u can change the icons without using a theme. i like changing the app draw icon like now im using mosaic(sp) icon. but im kinda tired of launcher pro and looking for something different, but i keep finding myself coming back to launcher pro.
Go launcher can do what you want.
thanks ill give it a try.
Multiple Launchers
If I have multiple launchers installed (or even just 1 extra than the stock launcher), do they all use system memory even if I have a default set? I'm using Serendipity VII, which I love, but I want to customize the icons so I've installed Go Launcher.
Am I taking a performance hit by using a different launcher?

As far as I know, no**, you won't take a performance hit by using a different launcher.
**Caveats:
1. As long as the launcher you use isn't a memory hog by itself.
2. As long as you check and make sure TouchWiz (or any other launcher) isn't showing up as a running process while you're using the other launcher.
Adw ex gets the job done, sure you have to pay for it but in my experience it gives me the best battery life and it's smooth as butter. I'm running darky's 10.2.2 and ADW beats go launcher and Launcher pro, just as responsive and snappy, way better battery life =)
I'd say use launcher pro plus/ adw free/donate version. I was huge fan of go launcher and widgets but after watching this http://youtu.be/iGPbvzPvkWw I am not sure if its really safe or not. Also if you really care about the performance use zeam as said in video, it is very very light on memory...
I bought LauncherPro after using the free version that DG had put into one of the Cognition roms. I loved it so much I bought a license. It's smooth, responsive, and very customizable, although I have left it stock.
ADWex for me all the way....GO Launcher was always laggy for me and I never liked Launcher Pro
OR you can try Launcher 7 PRO....which I made tiles for...this is what it looks like.

i agree adw ex works the best for me and has a lot of features. Launcher pro is probably the smoothest but has a few bugs and very few features. Go launcher is also great too if you want a free launcher with a bunch of features
Right now I'm using Launcher Pro on my Droid 1 but its really laggy at times especially when I go back to the home screen. Any recommendations on an replacement launcher that has these features:
A - Customizable dock at the bottom which I can put shortcuts to my apps.
B - At least three screens so I can put my widgets.
C - Drawer that can let me move up and down not left and right while scrolling for my apps.
Also which widgets are recommended for the following since I highly suspect no other launcher has these - calendar and contacts?
Many thanks in advance.

I choose adw launcher ex 1.3.3.. customizable dock, many screen and drawer up + down..
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I have ADW Launcher Ex running now. It feels so much smoother and faster then Launcher Pro was running. For my calendar and contacts widget I switched to Android Pro Widgets which gives the same Sense like experience that the ones Launcher Pro comes with.... if not better since APW comes with some nice skins and better options.
The only thing I don't care about APW at this point is not having the scrollable dock like Launcher Pro has. But I'm willing to give that up in exchange for better performance. The lag on Launcher Pro was starting to really annoy me.
Actually, if you swipe up on the dock, a hidden dock appears.
There is nothing there at first but you can drag unlimited apps to the bottom of the screen and it will fill up and will scroll across...
If you swipe down on it, the default dock appears.
if you don't need scrollable widgets give Zeam a try
I agree that ADW is much faster than current LauncherPro too ... much better
Just overclock the handset a little bit and launcherpro runs like a dream, IF you do a few minor tweaks:
DO NOT use the 3D app drawer. It's pretty laggy and slows down the rest of launcher pro, even if it's not actually on the screen right now.
DO NOT use more than 3 or 4 home screens
Don't use many widgets on your DEFAULT home screen.
Go Launcher is wonderful. Fast, feature filled.
I personally like Launcher ProPlus. I do believe it is faster and smoother than ADW. Also, if you're running CM7 you can lock the home screen in memory and that will help.
Or try V6 Supercharger script. With that script my Launcher Pro NEVER lags.

what are you on about?!
I have 7 filled homescreens with widgets:set cpu, calender, word of the day,news,movies, messages,people,gmail and i have fancy widget and batt statt on my default screen. LP is always fast

ADW is better than Launcher pro.. check these settings.. if it's a little lag when waking.. check box on "keep home in memory "..

any reason why i get Such a terrible redraw on the stock launcher? i am rooted, debloated and running hte V6 script (does it with it installed and not installed) and i get bad redraw probs...any fixes? with ADW i get nothing..but i kinda like moto lancher...
thanks!!
I believe it's to do with how much memory is allocated for the launcher and whether its set to stay resident.
I'm sure it can be manipulated in the framework somewhere probably systemui.
-smc
i just made ADW look almost excatley like the blur launcher so im ok with that..and it runs so much better..i just wish i could find the EXCATE look alike dock for adw..
Better off trying to hack the framework and work it out from there, i also prefer the stock launcher cos it's refereshingly different enough to most other launchers i've used and i've used them all including- Sony Arc, Samsung Galaxy S 2 and optimus 2x/3D launchers.
Just wish the stock launcher had an option for folders like the Arc, very handy.

Here's a fix: Move apps from Media Area to Phone if any. Tell me if this helps.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
That could speed things up.
-smc
there was only one app (game time) on the Media Area and no it didn't do anything. The thing is that I'm using Launcher Pro and it is still VERY SLOW to load everything up EVERY TIME I go back to the homescreen. This phone is acting slower than my D2GG
the new blur launcher is very memory hungry. It constantly gets killed (when launching another memory intensive app), then when you get back to home (or even want to see running apps) the horrible redraw/delay happens. Especially if you have widgets on the home screen and stuff like beautiful weather, expect horrible performance out of it. I can't understand why Motorola released the phone with 512MB RAM only...
The only true way to fix this is to go ADW or Launcher Pro (or other lightweight launcher). I was long time ADW fan but it feels LauncherPro behaves better on our phones. Using it now, screen redraw is minimal if not non-existent. Happy now. (not as happy if phone had 1G RAM )
using launcher pro, when I unlock the home screen sometimes it is drawn black where my shortcuts should be and the bottom shortcut bar is displayed fine

That's been a bug with launcher pro for a looooooong time. Just slide your finger across the screen and everything will appear just fine.

Hey Guys.
I think now we all know that pulling the Notification drawer is very laggy, but in many apps its buttery smooth. So i think the problem is the drawer combined with the launcher. On Nova Launcher i found a fix for this. My Notification drawer is very smooth now, like in the apps where it was smooth before. The Only thing i did was:
Nova Settings -> Desktop -> Wallpaper Scrolling-> and now tick Force (in german Kraft). Its designed for other phones which dont support wallpaper scrolling but it increases the smoothness of the drawer extremly
I hope i could help somebody. This was the only thing what annoyed me on aosp roms
MFG

doing that you are not able to set shadows on desktop :/
