im using stock but removed all the useless eye-candy widgets. then rooted and overclocked to 1.5ghz and all is smooth.
if you feel the need to change most people are using adw launcher ex.
but i think this question will soon become a problem of the past because the ICS launcher is pretty awesome out of the box.

I bought the ADW Launcher Ex in Google's promotion and it's pretty decent but I've gone back to TouchWiz since the lag isn't that bad imho.
Changeing Launchers
Hi,
is there any way - if you switch to another Launcher - to pre-populate the new launcher windows form the old one, so you do not have to redo everything ?
thanks
Erik
Currently I have go launcher ex installed. Its a little better than the stock but could be better.
I also tried louncherpro, but since this is official not supported for TAB, the look was bad. The icons really small and apart from each other (low res.) Widgets were huge. The speed of the launcher was however amazing I would say. I didn't have any widgets however (i use it on my phone and its amazing).

alright i see, cool because before this, i tried adw/launcher pro/ and go launcher but it seemed as if TW was better. ill give ICS launcher a try but if thats still lagging, i guess my only option then is to root and rom it
what rom and kernal are you using, and is it stable with everything working?

right now im using the Overcome Rom with the Motley Kernel overclocked to 1.5ghz.
Its running smooth as could. No FCs or Reboots so far and i've been using it a lot these last few days.
As I said the ICS Roms are still Alpha, but incredibly stable for such an early developement state! They dont have Hardware acceleration which makes it kinda unusable if you want to watch video on the tab. but that will soon be added and then ICS will definately be the better option.
seriously there is no reason not to root and install a rom. its incredibly easy compared to some other devices i rooted so far and its nearly unbrickable so you don't really risk much

Make sure to play with the settings; when I tried ADW I didn't think much of it till I removed all the animations and it was lightning quick.
What launcher? Easy. ADWLauncher EX which is the one that has hardware acceleration built-in (not a single hiccup in months here).
I would also recommend Adw.

yeah! i just wanted to see what launcher would be smooth for the stock rom since everyone complains about it, but i couldnt stand it no more so i rooted it with overcome, im gonna try out motleys kernel with it now! thanks
Also ADW.Ex here. The best so far...
Stock launcher felt smoother for me at first because it had a slower transition between screens. After some tweaking and animations turned off ADW feels slightly better.
Iam using adw launcher too..

Not really the place to ask this but here goes anyhow.
Yeah it will drain your battery a bit more because higher clocking will need higher voltage.
That being said the tab spends most its time idling with way lower hz which of course use way less voltage.
So yeah you will drain a bit more but not that much. I'm really impressed with how long my battery is lasting on mine.

When a custom recovery is made, we will start to see themes appear for the Thrill. Until then, I would just wait and play it safe by just theming launchers like ADW or Launcher Pro.

We cane flash themes to custom roms already. You can't theme the stock rom because its odex'd. You'll never be able to theme the stock LG firmware as is out of the box.
As far as launchers eating battery, that's just nonsense. The launchers don't use battery. They use memory. But so does the stock launcher. The stock launcher is an app just like any aftermarket launcher. What uses battery is Widgets that need to update, and each launcher has certain Widgets active by default. Bit that can be changed. Of course a poorly coded launcher that doesn't allow the phone to sleep would cause battery drain, but I've yet to use a launcher that did so.
For the original poster, if you want to theme the stock firmware you will need to deodex the stock rom first.
If you're on a nonstock rom then check the Themes and Apps section for flashing themes.

Well from there it'd seem as if your only choice was to take and ROOT then flash the ROM.
Risk it? You tell me, I just need to find a ROM that changes the look of the bottom launcher. I hate how plain it is.
Aside from that, I hear the Doomed Froyo is one of the most slick ROMs and is bare boned stock along with your 3D, 3D Camera, & removed Bloatware.
You tell me? I want to go with it but haven't balled up to Voiding my warranty and not being able to return it if there's a future problem.
It's in your hands,
As far as launchers you'd be safe with Battery Life on the 'GO Launcher EX' works awesome if there's enough room for ya.

Rooting 99.99999 % of the time won't brick your device... that 0.00001% is user error. Root just allows you to change system files... like making you an admin on a PC...
Once you have clockworkmod installed it is almost impossible to brick your device just by flashing a rom. Because you can just go back to cwm and restore stock or a working version... also root will allow you to use any of the custom themes i have made. And you can always go back to stock rom ... and unroot like from the store... doomed Roms are amazing especially the slim version...

I am a bit of a weirdo. I tend to see the frames per second in daily life much more than other people. I see overpowerd LEDs flicker, i see the Hz of CRT screens, I see the refresh rate of plasma TVs... and so on.
This is pretty annoying for me as it is. So what bothers me a lot is the scrolling on android! How low of fps is that?? It is NOTHING compared to the scrolling fps on an iphone. I know my inc s can do smooth scrolling cuz some games have it. I googled it and it seems connected to hardware acceleration.
Now my question:
Is there a custom rom that has this smooth scrolling?
Try Android Revolution HD rom by mike1986. It worked out well and it is much more smoother than other ROMs.

Download that ROM and flash it.
Ask if you have any trouble in installing it.
Thanks for the reply. By "smoother", i don't mean the response time when you press some thing or the load time of applications.
My major concern is swiping/scrolling up and down in a menu like 'settings'.
I have unlocked my phone with htcdev and lost all my phone data... sigh... my own fault, i had to read the disclaimer stating it will be wiped to protect personal data. I'm new to this custom rom/bootloader/radio flashing so i still have a lot of reading to do. I just wonder if it is worth it.

I use RCMix3d Runny v4.0 (sense 3.5 and android 2.3.5) as a daily rom. Works pretty nice for me.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345742
I got 3 replies, presenting 3 different roms.
Can anyone verify that the scrolling is high fps in these roms?
Talking about the three Roms given as suggestion for smooth scrolling,it depends.If you like sense,try rcmix Rom.If you prefer non-sense stock feel,try either of the two(I'd go with ARHD).
If you'd like to get smoothness without installing custom Rom,try downloading a custom launcher such as LauncherPro.
If you want the purest smooth scrolling on either sense or non-sense roms,I suggest waiting for a good Ice cream sandwich Rom,the hardware acceleration should definately bring the desired butter smooth feeling(as evident in ics alpha 3.0)
Something to choose from,but the best way would be to just test roms/launchers and see for yourself.After all,almost everyone has their own opinion.
Hope that helps.

I just switched to the new Android Revolution HD 2.1.12 (was using 1.something before) and instantly noticed that the scrolling was a lot smoother than before. I'm having the same problem as you and though this is still not iPhone smoothness it's way better than the stock smoothness.
And with No-Sense (disables bloat Sense-Software but not Sense entirely) you also have a very good footprint meaning more free RAM then stock or Cyanogen. The Launcher from No-Sense is GoLauncher EX which is smooth too.
Just give it a try.
For me the smoothest, bug free has been Virtuous Affinity 1.48. Give it a shot, I'm sure you will like it.
Different people different opinion.
To sum up:
Sense roms u can try:
ARHD
Nik's trinity
Virtuous Affinity
RCmix 3d
No-Sense:
CM 7.1
MIUI
cyanogenmod is the fastest and smoothest rom for incredible s bar none - i dont think anyone could argue with that. it just lacks some of the sense functionality.
if i were you, i would definitely start with it, and ive tried them all except the nik one at different times, always returning to cyanogenmod.

Hi incrediblealex,

It is very experimental, but if you are so fixated on "smoothness" and are willing to sacrifice a couple of other things for it, then the hardware acceleration will satisfy your needs.

Hello!
About a year ago I lost my Milestone, just found it within the inside pockets of my jacket :doh:
I want to give it to my girlfriend as her X10 Mini pro is getting hardware defects and very limited in playing games and such. I noticed FroyoMod 2.6.0 running quite choppy on it, probably (partially) because of the nice UI and extra options. My question is: which ROM would be the best to have a smooth running phone, advanced layout features not required. Either 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 would be good. Preferably a stable ROM, of course.
Thanks in advance, Bullehr.
Hi!
I am currentlz using HO!NO! Mod 7.1.5. But I replaced LauncherPro with GO Launcher Ex. I also used Supercharger Script, which frees some RAM
My MM is super snappy now, no lags, no freezes.
Just give it a try
I was close enough to buy a new phone, but now I'm satisfied again ^^
Cheers,

Hi!
Since your girl friend doesn't play games usually, I suggest CM7.1.5. It's stable and smooth running. And Ho! No! 7.2.0 is another good choice. And I also suggest you to remove the 3d gallery and install Quickpic. If you can edit the SystemUI.apk and change the black status bar and scroll bar background into transparent will be better~
Have a nice day~
Have you considered MIUI?
I'd been using CM7 form over six month on my Milestone (A853), but last month I decided to give a try to MIUI and was gladly surprised.
What kept me from changing before was the iPhone-like GUI, which I don't care about, however your gf may like it. On my case just switched back to GO Launcher.
MIUI Camera works just right. Also MIUI SMS and Phone applications are too similar to the ones I'd been using so I didn't even bother to replace them.
Overall my phone doesn't reboots itself anymore, and is fast and responsive.
Unless you gf is fluent in chinese, goto en.miui.com and select one of the variants. If english is your language then you may go US, UK or Scotland. I like US better cause it respects my Alarm+ (shows in status bar), and also has a 4-way reboot option I use.

When I tried MIUI I also was surprised by its beautiness and smoothness, but it took like 1 day, and my MM began to reboot randomly and became stuck and inresponsive like hell...
I don't know exactly what happened there, but when I switched "back" to CM7 I was definately more satisfied with my phone again. I guess it might have something to do with all the MIUI-Apps (and there are a lot).
Just my experience.

CM 7 should be goo and stable for her to use it.
MIUI is quite awesome in that it's responsive, comes with good stock apps and is fairly well customizable, although I've replaced the stock launcher with Launcher7.

use debil kernel and cm9..
Use Slim ICS v 4.0 or 4.1 (stock kernel) its the most stable ROM i've ever seen.
-> 500h Uptime and no random reboots
-> 2 days battery life with normal usage (sms, telephone, internet/rss)
-> btw. my Battery is 2 years OLD
-> really really really smooth
-> you should only change this ugly stock launcher to your favourite launcher (i prefere Apex Launcher for example :good

Use a different ROM ...I use Remics-ux...Stable,fast,smooth. Try it and you get the answer
Clean AOKP 1.1.6 on my SGS. There is no troubling issue since then. The stock froyo DDJP2 was a big pain in the neck. The main advantage of all ICS builds is its open source so the build size is mostly 80mb to 150mb thereby saving precious size on the phone. The more stock elements and libs in the rom and more ram usage and more lags. ICS may have slow scrolling on some roms/devices but overall its absolutely a try. There is nothing much in a heavy overloaded Samsung bloatware where we don't have so much apps use in daily usage. ROMControl is a very important feature incorporated in ICS roms. LCD density is a superb option for those who prefer 160 to 192 dpi. IME switcher is also good for using custom keyboards. As an example I used a Desire HD till last week and the ICS Icecoldsandwich rom was flawless till the last touch. ICS looks plain vanilla, but it increases the user satisfaction and the true value of hardware is felt. Overall the battery lasts more on ICS builds if not too overclocked. In short, ICS is a platform for all those who were fed-up with the low performing cpu/ram/hardware/software related stock junkware of any phone.
or you could try "tiramislim" itś based on slim ics, but imho its better no bugs, much smoother then gb.
anyway, i think you tried not the right rom. there are so many ics-roms out there, most are quite stable. try different roms, or read the threads of the roms before, then you can see how others think about them
Definitely cm9. :3

Just a quick question. Maybe someone tried all of our beloved ICS roms and kernels? If yes, could you please share your experience with them? I would be grateful! Testing requires tons of time .. which i do not have much.
Currently on CM9 Owain 79 build with Jarvis v7 kernel with apex launcher, OC 14** mhz. Well battery life is enough for me, actually is great (3days of light usage), just feeling some latency. Any tips (don't use that, use that, etc..)?
P.s. I know all the builds are great and all the combos are great for someone and for someone not, because of ridiculous angle of different p990 region devices. Just share your experience if you have tried and find something great! Thank you!

First of all, since hardware acceleration isn't present as well as the other drivers for ICS on our phone, you won't get it as fluid as Gingerbread was.
What you can do however is to test Owain's rom without Jarvis kernel as i've noticed that the Jarves kernel doesn't get rid of any UI lag at all.
Secondly, if what LG's facebook page says is true, we'll get an official ICS build somewhere in Q3 meaning pretty soon.. Now i know LG hasn't kept it's word before... but hey if this is true, your problem will be solved soon enough.
If you really want your phone to be nearly lag free, i'd suggest switching back to CM7-based ROMs for a while.
I tried nova hd. Perfectly developed I think. It has very few bugs and incredibly fast. Try it with lightning speed kernel.

have you installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730872 ? With the dalivk fix your rom should be very buttery smooth
I tried EaglesBlood AOSP - so far its very smooth too but then i missed some settings from CM and went over to paranoid+Jarvis 7.
Cheers
Currently running xxMrHyde unofficial build with nova kernel 1.0.7 and it's doing great.. though battery drains much faster compared to cm7..
Running MIUIv4 (bihariel's build). MIUI has simply stunning looks and its theming engine (and available themes) are simply awesome.
Be advised, you need to sacrifice a bit of performance a functionality on MIUI over other ICS builds like CM9, only for its looks, but i love it so much that for me, its worth it
will the official ICS version have hardware gpu acceleration? or we will never see ics with hardware gpu acc on our phone?

I also running v4 MIUI by bihariel. I agree that the management issues is something exceptional. But I must say that I have tried many roms and gb ics and have not found a difference in performance or slow as you say. Using another launcher, so MIUI home which is very heavy and a couple of kill app to lighten the ram, perhaps because of this.
However, all the rom try this is extraordinary.

Not sure about the big differences in roms, but if you want a smooth CM9 launcher, I recommend LG UI 3.0! smoother than samsung touchwiz home, nova, trebuchet. Not had anything smoother since then.

LG 3.0 IU tried rom NOVA HD and it seemed a little heavy, maybe on this rom. Instead I am comfortable with Xperia launcher 0.9.1b + widgets and icons support. I also used on other rom, stable and lightweight.

Well, the launcher along with its customizability (icons etc) is one if the main reasons to choose MIUI over cm, so changing that would ruin all the fun

[KERNEL] HorsePower 2x, [ROM] PARANOIDNANDROID v1.5
Hello all together,
I have a short question and I hope my school-english will be enough so you can understand.
My O2X was suffering from some strange battery-drain-issue while using the latest CM7 nightly. Because of that I flashed to the latest version of the "PARANOIDANDROID v1.5 [Build 2]"-ROM. Now I am experiencing some strange problem:
1. My phone seems to do a short "break" before it opens up any app. That means, I tap on the icon and for approx. 1-2 seconds, there is nothing happening. Then the app starts. Is this normal?
2. When playing a game ( e.g. Defender II ), it runs very very smooth for the first few minutes but then it starts to stutter around so bad that it becomes unplayable... seems like a RAM-related problem to me?
When I came from CM7, I did a full wipe and restored no apps. I am using the BB 725 with the V20f-RIL and my service provider is Congstar ( D1 ).
I first tried the latest Harsh-Kernel and then switched to the latest Nova-Kernel-Pure-Edition, but that did not lead to any success concerning my problem.
I also tried several settings like zRAM, Kernel Samepage etc. but also no success here.
Apart from this, the ROM is running awesome, very smooth scrolling, hilarious battery life, everything fine. But those two problems are really annoying me.
I would be so grateful if you could help me. Thanks very much in advance!
Greetings!

Please do a full wipe, including /system, then reflash and first try it with the stock kernel.
I have none of these issues.
Oh and: disable zRam (compcache), that's not perfectly working on our 2x.
