Any one else notice the lack in quality of the animations when swiping from screen to screen?
Mainly that some icons go faster around then others. Wonder why they did such a crap job on that part of MotoBlur.
I personally wish there was a way to turn the launcher animations off.

Do share. Turning off display animations don't seem to work.

What you're describing was done intentionally to give "depth" to the home screen...aka provide a 3D effect. If you drag the screen really slowly you get a better feel for the effect. I don't think you can disable this with the stock launcher.

Yeah. When in the app dock it is nice, the icons stay in there location in space relative to the swiping to the next. Just on the home screen if i swipe slowly several icons will go faster then others and get on top of them while some stay in there relative location. Just found it odd.

Is there a way to decrease the # of home screens on the blur?
Unfortunately not. You'll have to use another launcher for that.

For some reason a lot of launchers designed by phone manufacturers don't offer this. The only ones I've seen that do are a couple of versions of touchwiz and sense 3.5. I too wish it was offered more.

Was just wondering whatelse can be modified or tweaked to get rid of the jitter in the blur launcher. It seems to only occur if you have more than 2 app drawers, and it only occurs one time when you change app drawers. The performance will be nice and smooth till you close the app drawer, and once you open it back up, same issue occurs. Is this something we possibly can correct via build prop? I have Max Events bumped up to 200 and don't notice a difference. Or is this just something we have to hope for motorola to fix? Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks .
Edit: forgot to mention it doesn't happen all the time.
I never noticed this. Can you post a vid of what you mean?
Maybe it will be fixed in the next OTA for the bionic.
I personally recommend using ADW Ex Launcher though.

The next OTA isnt even out yet bro. 5.5.893 is just a leak. They might not even release that.
When you open the blur home and have atleast 3 app drawers change drawers and there will be a stutter.
Like I said in OP only occurs one time everytime you open the blur home app drawer.

3 app drawers? Most people just have 1 :O
Unless you're talking about different pages of apps if you use that appdrawer option. (I use 4D vertical scroll)
Windows slots app pages w/e you want to call them derp.

Yeah then you were talking about pages. I didn't know.
You should try using one of the one continuous scrolling options. So theres no pages, just one long scroll through your apps.
I don't think the blur launcher has that?

Supercharged with hard to kill and the jittering from the app menu is pretty much gone/minimal. Guess at this point it's gotta be up to motor or the devs here.maybe!

thanks. the only thing i dont like about the blur launcher is that goofy horizontal page scroll, I hate it! the only option is to use an aftermarket launcher, i use launcher pro. for me its the smothest and most customizable out there.
Does something like this exist? I think it looks really cool and would be neat to try out.

"it's not a lock screen, it's a welcome screen"
And not with the edge swiping gestures, but you could try widget locker. It's the only thing I can think of from back when I still used lock screens.

Even with widget locker I'd still need the widget with that functionality, that's what I'm looking for, but thank you for your reply.
What functionality are you looking for? Common inbox? Fast shortcuts to most used apps? It's hard to tell what you're looking for exactly. Alternatively, I'm sure once the GNex images are out there someone will port in some form whatever is worth porting.

Along with system apps I don't want, I usually delete stock widgets as well. Why would you want that crap slowing your phone down? Just place a shortcut to the gallery on your home screen.

I believe you can get a usable htc notes widget on the d3rp rom.
I do miss the tasks widget. I like the htc app, but have to use a gtasks widget now.

IMO, I think they've taken a lot of the widgets that weren't as mainstream as they used to be off. This was all part of the design process to slim down Sense.

Which is beautiful. I love the striped down, minimalistic look. But... Photo widget.
Sent from my HTC One
I agree and that photo album widget or whatever it is on the lockscreen says you can browse photos but I have yet to accomplish that without unlocking to home page :crying: Kinda useless on the lockscreen in my humble opinion. I guess a developer could tweak it so it could be put on a main screen but then again I don' see any user options either. Uh...
There are a couple in the playstore that are kinda cool. I have been keeping my eye on this one and it looks promising as far as user options and tweaking. It looks like it recently got tweaked for 4.2.2 so it is up to date in that regard. I am going to check it out and see how it runs on 4.1.2.

Ah yes, Photo Grid widget. I used it on AOSP ROM's for a while. just wasn't quite the same though. haven't used it in a while though, maybe some updates did it some good, I'll try it again I guess.
I did try that photo grid and it is pretty cool. It did appear laggy a few times and it did force close a couple of times. Hopefully we can get our phone updated to 4.2.2 and then this will be a great option. Anyways we gave it a try....
Is this no longer an option with sense 5?
And the title should have said full screen weather animations.

No, this has been removed from what I understand.
Tap the Weather icon, and you will be taken to a full screen animation. But, full screen animation over your home screen, that is gone.

That's true, but the sense version felt better. The BW version required you to tap the screen to get it to stop before you could use the phone, while sense would just make it disappear instantly without having to make that initial "exiting" tap

There is a way to get the weather animations back but you have to change your wallpaper. Check in Live wallpapers and use the "Weather" one. It's pretty nice actually because it changes for day, night, rain, cloudy, etc. and the animation stops after a few seconds which I assume saves on battery drain. But you are locked into that wallpaper. Hope that helps.
