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.

Can someone running this Continuum 5 RC3 & talon kernel and who's used Google Maps apps please check their battery usage? According to my battery usage, google maps is using an excessive amount of battery, even if I'm not using the app. It's at the top of the list for battery use, even exceeding display and it's killing my battery. I dropped from full battery to 75 in less than 2 hours yesterday with no use except to periodically look at the battery level. I don't recall this happening in any of the Froyo ROMS. I even wiped and reflashed both the ROM and kernel just to make sure and it's still happening. I've frozen google maps in TB to stop it, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and/or have a solution besides getting rid of it? Thanks.
Uninstalled maps and my battery life is looking MUCH better. You can always dl anothermap app from market.

Thx, I decided to uninstall it too. Not worth the huge battery hit.

I'm on c5 rc3 and used maps a few times yesterday. I got 4 hours combined screen and calls. Maps used very little for me. Weird.

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.

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.

I just get force close after force close on my ns4g. I'm running cm7 nightly 63, and the matr1x 5.5 kernel.
Tried a "free" version and paid, same result.

Same thing here !
I bought mobile shell 3d 2.1 and it gives me a black screen on start up !

I have no problems with spb on my NS4G. Runs wonderfully.

Every time I run Angry Birds, SPB reloads in my Nexus S. I'm going back to my Go Launcher...
Tried this and had no problems with it but its a bit too much "stuff" really. I prefer to keep it simple, so I'm not really using it.

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.

i go a used D3 yesterday. a factory wipe was done, and it was already rooted for me. i rerooted it because i did not see superuser. i am running adw witch does run better then stock launcher but the phone over all is really laggy, kinda like my droidx on froyo was...
this is why i wish i had an SBF for 959, aside from a factory reset again, is there anything in i can do to try and make this run better? im wondering if it is slow because of something the previous user did? and the camera takes AT LEAST 6-7 seconds to load up EVERY time, and it takes for ever to get into focus sometimes...i hear great things about this phone, but so far im not inpressed at all..
thx all
The camera does open very slow. The phone shouldn't be lagging though. Only problem I ever had was with stock launcher. Don't know why this is happening to you.

Check your apps, might have a strange one.
Sounds like something is chewing up your CPU, restart phone and then do some tests and benchmarks, see if your getting average Droid 3 performance. This phone is faster then Tegra phones in most cases including games.
when we get some roms, kernel tweaks and cm7 then this thing will fly.

By the time we get CM it will be CM8.

I ended up going through almost every app i had and checking the refresh intervals to make sure it was limited. also i would limit the accounts you have synced and if you can use the 3rd party apps so you can get better control over how it behaves vs. letting motorola settings take over.
I've had mine for about 24 hours and it doesnt lag processor wise, of course without 4G some of the higher quality data transfer will be slower.

Claims to reduce lag by generating more entropy
I've tried this and it seemed to make my phone slower in google play, but minimally faster when opening my apps list
Has anyone else tried this
I'm running CM10

I have the same setup running and the most noticeable difference is switching from an app or the app drawer back to the home screen.. Everything else doesn't seem to have a much of a noticeable difference.

Developer community, hi, I had the S1 for about 2 years and still do, its very good phone yo know , however, what ever I do its too slow! I'm running Android 4.2.2 with over clocked CPU and 400+ of RAM, and sometimes when I leave a small app to main, it take sometime to load the launcher,so what's wrong? Was Google right when it stopped the Nexus S updates at 4.1.2 because it can take any farther? Does project better even exist? The fastest ROM I had ever install was ICS RC2 which worked perfectly (I could run MC3 at background then leave and do some thing else, then want back and its where I have lift it) but I had datadata problem and I had to try something els. Know a days ,some new flagships had less specification than S1 and work smother!, in short words: can I make my phone faster ?
All thanks and appreciates to whom worked to develop this great phone.

Well, the more recent phones that come out right now for the low-end market are running alot newer chips than the S1 has. In my opinion, you shouldn't go to far with flashing newer versions of Android. But on the other hand, everyone wants to be on the most recent version of Android. Google had a reason for not pushing 4.2 to the Nexus S. Other manufacturers don't bring out updates for newer phones (for no reason), but Google had a good reason, because the Nexus S' hardware is outdated.
Unfortunately i doubt you can get your smoothest experience in 4.2.2.
If you want pure smoothness you should try a custom 2.3.7 as that would be ideal although i reckon 4.0.4(cm9 base) would do quite a decent job as well.
You have to try out different ROMs and see what best fits your needs.
Is a way that i use it and is good and smooth
But if expect like sg3 no it's not exactly like that but it's close. And don't disturb u
Cause our hardware's are a part of history
I installed 1.2gb apk and work smooth mostly software not game
First;
Buy a sd card high class 10
Format internal storage
Install cm latest version 4.2.2 with Odin
Install kernel like fishear
And set it up
Install cyanDelta
Install auto memory killer and set in optimum value
Install Roehsoft apk and make virtual memory on your external SD
Also never install any luncher cause it's own luncher is very light
and enjoy it
is good for daily works And smooth

Of course 4.2.2 isn't going to be perfect. Pushing Project Butter onto our phone was a feat in itself. The smoothest 4.2.2 I've tried is Slim Bean, which really is pretty amazing. But don't be surprised about the fact that the phone can't handle Jelly Bean as well as it should. Its 3rd year anniversary is approaching fast.
Its still a wonder our single-core can handle it fine.

Hei man I dont know what roms are you using but try thinkingridge stable by aways and the c-rom mix 18...everything is stable at 55 frames per second in the ui...and ofcourse your phone will slowdown if you put a lot of stuff in it...its normal...you cannot pretend that is going to be fast as when you fresh install the rom..my girlfriend's iphone 4 is stock,no mods but still it lags a lot more than my VERY OLD I9000 ...
By the way anyone can give me some advices on a gingerbread rom?a kickass one? I saw a couple of releases in this days...they should be good considering that the developers had plenty of time to improve stability and performances...
Thanks
Speed depends on the kernel/rom your using and the way your using it. My suggestion is GamerzRom and use the greenify app. Try it and you ll see. Ive never had a faster rom!

whatever you decide to do dont use task managers...they just mess with the android sistem and android knows better than you when and how to kill a process...
True i found out that task managers dont really work well
Greenify works the best and alot of people use it

Hey there,
I HAD the same problem. The 2/3 changes I made was
1.UNDERClock to 800mhz (less stress on phone and less lag
2. Use Nova launcher as default
3. I am running slim bean latest and its fantasiltic
My phone has never run better
Stay away from themes though.
FYI I am a massive app hoarder so you may have a hundred apps on your phone and blame it on that but probability 9/10 isn't.
Hope I helped
