Those using Launcher Pro on the Bionic, what's your experience?
My LP dock has shadow's below it. Anyone else?
Many have been reporting FCs with LP. No issues reported yet with ADW Launcher or Go Launcher.
I've been using my Bionic heavily since launch day with LP and experienced no problems. I have all 4 types of docks and LP plays nice with all going into and coming out of dock modes. I see no shadow under the LP dock icons.
LP has been running good for me. Only glitch I've noticed is that on first boot it'll force close sometimes but runs good after that. What issues are other people having?
Ive been rooted and running LP Pro Version since day 1, haven't had a single FC yet.

no fc here using lp on rooted bionic since day 1. increased to 5x5 with 5 home screens. Also using BW.
Been using LP since day one, haven't had a single problem. Miles better than MOTOBLUR, or as I like to call it, MOTO****.
Rooted with LP, no problems here, just hate landscape mode being forced in the car dock, that's not an LP problem though...

I've installed LP unrooted and it seems to work pretty well, the only issue I've seen is that my device seems to boot up a bit slower when running LP vs the stock launcher.
I also have had no problems with LP.
I stuck with the stock launcher for a little bit, then got tired of the paginated app drawer and no auto-rotate on the homescreen, so loaded up ADW (since that's what I used on my x). used it for about a min and realized it was really choppy (for whatever reason), so decided to try LP. Running it and this time it's smooth as all get-out.

I am getting a lot of home screen lag. I am currently running 1.5 OC. I have tried different settings and speeds with SETCPU. Performance, interactive, etc. The home screen lags when switching screens, I am running a static wall paper. I even removed all widgets and still get the same thing. The only thing I can do is reboot my device and sometimes it works, but once I unlock my device a few times it goes back to lag on the home screen. When I say lag I mean choppiness when sliding the screen. Although, in applications it works just fine. It forced me to move to launcher pro.
However, I would like to stay with the default launcher, since it has the UL elements that make honeycomb "pop". Any help would be awesome, thanks.
:: Sorry wrong place. Please move MOD::
I was having the same problem but switching settings in setcpu fixed it, I forget what setting I have now, I am in a meeting and can't check but I think it was interactive. Give that another shot and leave it for an hour or so and then try it.

Whenever it happens to me I just go to settings>applications and force stop the launcher. Clears it up without a reboot.
It happens so much to the point where I'll be force stopping it all the time.
@laxwillsch can you confirm your settings for me please?
I'm running @ 1.4ghz on interactive and my launcher is smooth.
How are you running launcher pro? Did u copy it from your phone? I searched and can't find it...
I am running interactive at 1.5 max and min all the way down. Absolutely no lag since I switched off performance. I heard using performance screws with the launcher because it doesn't wake fast enough. I gotta say I was a little worried when I had all that lag, I don't want any lag for $ 640, but now I am a happy camper.

Keep in mind that the default settings for Launcher Pro are not adequate for tablets. You will need to change the row/column settings along with some other tweaks to make it work best on tablet. There is a thread dedicated to this somewhere in the General forum. If you need help, just ask in that thread or start a new one for help.

I was talking about the home screen launcher.
I can't take this anymore...
I'm doing a factory reset... I'm only reinstalling the essential applications. Let's see what happens..
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone is running this launcher on their phone and if it lives up to the hype. 15 dollars is kind of much for an app but this thing looks awesome.

Not running it, looks pretty sweet though. Wondering how much battery life gets used.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I tried it with my Nexus S.
Guess what, it used up 55mb of RAM for launcher itself and 20mb for the widget.
Battery life was normal, just keep in mind that you cant run much apps otherwise, it will kill your launcher
I tried every launcher in the market (waste too much money through, but it worth for a experience and choose the best for myself).
I stick to MIUI launcher (iphone style).
I suggest you to try REGINA 3D launcher, is it pretty much the same
However, it's FREE
I tried the beta before it was on the market and liked it. I bought it when it came to market. I'm very happy with it. I don't use all the time. I switch back and forth between the stock launcher and the SPB. It sure is great to show to you I-phone loving friends. It's the WOW factor.
I'm using it and I love it! Its expensive! For an app

Well if love the app, then its worth it. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it, but maybe sometime in the future. I'm still using the gingerbread launcher and its going pretty good. Ha. Not to many features, but its alright.

No scrollable widgets, resource hog = fail
Remember when SPB didn't make bloated software???
Oh wait..
m on stock n it works like a charm .. i got it cracked ..
battery life is like barely 3-5% drain more but u expect tht .. yea ram is eaten up but ur still left with arnd 100mb which is more than enuf to run anything ..
i remember on my milestone being happy when i got 45mb free

I bought it and I wish I didn't its not for me I went back to Go Launcher. I like to hide the status bar and I like swipes among a few other things that Shell don't offer. I wish I would of tried it first. Oh well you live and you learn
It's the only launcher I've used since it came out, love it. Battery life has been stable, I charge over night and it lasts me all day.

Ive used it as my main launcher for a while now but im going to seek others soon as it never gets updates with new widgets and uses 75mb ram on my ns. Also the loading is a ***** especially when it fc when u need your phone :s
so far so good
Using it for couple of days, its a RAM hog, battery life is no different from Zeam. but it freezes in sms and call widgets. yaa too expensive, they are working on a real3D screen now... hope i get my regular updates. it has a diff color temperature..my nexsus s visually looks like its 2.3.1
Used it about one month as main launcher. For me it was too much design and not enough speed + it freezed a couple of times. At the end I can say nice but stock is better.

Has anyone else tried the cm9 music app. A quick Google will get you the apk. I liked the features and widgets a lot but it seemed a bit sluggish and made my phone hot at times. Also seemed like more of a battery drainer than stock.
Anyone else noticing this and do u know if it will be fixed on market final?
PS: was running codename aosp + speed kernel 5 when I tried.
HERE'S THE APK FOR THOSSE LOOKING FOR IT:

Yeah its good a lot of options. But it consume 32mb+ in ram usage that makes our phone sluggish when using it. Compare to google music that use about 8mb.

Just wanting to know what you all think. Not too much discussion going on here about them. I've used them all, good experiences. Pro, cons, whatever. I personally like the stock .230 leak. I find the smart actions very nice. Also like the app drawer with the different groups.

Personally, I like the 230 update... plan on updating to 232 soon, but holding off because every time I flash, another one comes out.
I'm not one for flashing nightly roms, but I've been itching to try CM9
Yeah I am a little hesitant about flashing .232. But I think it's good news that these leaks keep showing up.
I used the CM9 from the .2233 leak and wasn't overly impressed. I feel AOKP has more options. But these Moto leaks are just so nice in my taste.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I prefer AOKP but there are still some issues with it such as static in the Bluetooth. I have 2 phones on me all day at work and the use of a headset is a must. I am on stock .232 with Apex, init.d, and pull down toggles. I have pulled all the bloat and system crap that I don't ever use. There isn't really much at all running in the background. I have pulled some init.d scripts from different roms to speed things up more but not sure which one I'm going to use yet. As soon as AOKP has the BT issue fixed I will be flashing it though.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do you get the pulldown toggles on the stock rom?

I stayed on the .232 leak for a couple days, enjoyed the new "Blur" but there were just a couple thing i didn't like. The launcher was alright a little prehistoric compared to today's standards with Apex and especially Nova being so fast and smart. Not being able to change the Lockscreen shortcuts aggravated me but overall the Lockscreen with its separate Camera, Phone, Messaging, Sound settings, and Lock is nice.
But after I flashed CM9 i wont look back. You can customize everything, there is shortcuts to everything, its very responsive, and Cyanogenmod Team really made there stock applications wonderful. You can tell they took there time in making everything run smoothly and look great as well.
So i would go with CM9 especially Axiobeam.06_TARGA. Thats what i flashed and i love it. It includes alot of extras worth having.
I'm currently on 232 and love it. Tried AOKP and CM9, and while they are both solid, they both lack one CRUCIAL feature- Webtop.
Since I am addicted to my Lapdock, I'm staying with Stock ICS until a good rom comes along with a working Webtop.
Not a big deal though since stock ICS is pretty damned-near perfect.
The CM9 u tried, was it the unofficial one ported by dhacker29?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
While I do love the features of CM9, there are small things that I really like about the Bionic ICS, like the text app. I like the black background versus the white of CM9/AOKP. I haven't toyed around with Apex enough to know its potential, but I have no complaints about the stock launcher.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I've flashed 2231, 2233, and now 232, and all of them have had constantly high CPU and RAM usage, making my phone painfully slow to use. However, on the AOKP ICS-leak builds I had no such slowdowns (despite other bugs), with almost all of the same apps installed.
Has anyone else experienced poor performance with the stock leaks?
Occasionally I notice the slow downs, but have definitely noticed the high cpu usage, even after switching governors.

So I've been using AOKP for a few days and noticed the light behind the capacitive buttons never shuts off. Even when the screen is off they just dim. Any ideas for a fix, or is that part of the ROM?

You really only need to ask the question once in a given forum. But honestly I haven't noticed in on either the ICS leaks I've used.
EDIT:
Actually I just noticed it but I think it is as designed. If my phone is locked, not just screen timed out, and I have an unlock pattern (probably pin too) the status bar does not open. If the screen is timed out the status bar can be pulled open.
Not sure, and don't see why it would be a deal breaker. Currently using AOKP with no problems at all.
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
Only thing that's turning me away from cm9, AOKP or even liquid is the crt animation is down towards the bottom of the screen and when I scroll from screen to screen is glitchy unlike the ics leak
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
Yeah that was bothering me so I turned CRT off. I just recently installed CM10 and its nice aside from the lack of camera. Definitely very promising.

what would be a good stable ROM for an older person? I am leaning towards MavRom 4.0 since I've been reading 4.5 has issues.
The only major working things they need is bluetooth and camera, so I take it no ICS roms.
Also, I am trying to get either Apex or Nova for them as well to be able to lock the desktop.

I personally use MavRom 4.0, it's nice and stable. I would say either debloated stock (if they have no prior android knowledge, this would be best), or mavrom, although it has more options and whatnot, might not be the best for an older person. I've heard Nova has been unstable (but that might be on ICS/JB, not sure, never used it) and I've not used Apex either... I've always stuck with stock launcher or ADW.
There's a little information, but I would say for stability and whatnot (and emergency text system that's recently been implemented). Just root it with motofail, then run a debloat script on it, just make sure not to remove DLNA (this is required for HDMI).
I suggest Liberty or Maverick, I find Liberty is extremely stable and has the best battery life.
Also I'm pretty sure Apex and Nova launcher are ICS exclusive, I could be wrong though.
MavRom 4.0 is great. Extremely stable, great battery life, and everything works. I suggest Holo Launcher for a nice, AOSP style launcher
