Hello
I have been using the golauncher ex on my Note and for some reason there is a lag in the home screen transition and also the general functioning of the phone has become slower. It works perfect on the stock touchwiz launcher. Can anyone please tell me why this is....and if there is anyway to fix it.
U ll have to root your phone.. These launchers apparently have this lag issue which can be eliminated by rooting your phone.. No lag with a rooted phone whatsoever...

cannot confirm this, "only" rooting without changing some stuff afterwards wont gain you anything...
launcher lag can be reduced by tweaking it's settings, use a different kernel with proper governor and settings (search the forum, i could recommend abysnote 3.6, lulzactive, ramp up 4, max. 1,6GHz) or consider a change to 240 DPI mode (through build.prop edit or app which does this for you): but 240 DPI has some issues (dialer, smemo, snote,... wont work perfect)!
I meant rooting ur phone to flash custom roms...

I'm pretty sure I don't remember this happening before, but I might be wrong. I was using my phone and suddenly the UI wasn't as smooth as it used to be, the app drawer (I use LauncherPro) seems to load but freezes for like a quarter of a second when the 3D part of the menu (not sure how to describe it, I can give a screenshot of it if you want) loads. I guess I could get myself to live with it, it I'd like to get it back to how it was before if that's possible, help would be appreciated.
Are you routed? Overclocked? Stock rom?
New apps recently installed? Help us help u.

Rooted, running Froyo. Using a automatic oc kernal (the one that pushes it to 1250 MHz And just a few apps (Droid LED and Wifi manager) that didn't work/I didn't need. I do have quite a few apps though, but it didn't always do this with a lot of apps installed.
...it actually seems to have fixed itself o_o, well after I uninstalled twitter
Edit: Nevermind, the lag is back <<
Theres a very good chance it is the kernel. To my knowledge 1.25GHz is a little unstable (correct me if I'm wrong. I don't have a droid, but a milestone).
It happened when I was using the 1 GHz kernal too though :\
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.

No matter what I do, the default launcher becomes laggy....

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..
I'm using rocket rom v23 with Abyssnote kernel version 4.2. And overclocked to 1.4ghz with ondemand using SETCPU. I don't have any background running application other than background data and gps enabled all the time.
For past week my phone is very slow and i need to wait for couple of seconds to let the app open. Why is this happening and what is the resolution?? I don't have any issue in battery. And also I don't want to loose any app's data.

Overclocked? But it's already 1.4 ghz.
Which launcher do you use? How many apps installed? How many widgets placed on your screens? And beside that just a simple hint: look forward for ICS...the lag will be gone immediately

You mean the official update? How can you be sure it will vanish the lag?
It is clear you have done something to the system.. even a stock note performs better than this.

REMOVE all the profile in setCPU if you had one.

I like this.
Lag is in most if not in all Notes !
My Galaxy Note also have lag problem
I have GS2 and Note and GS2 is like bullet on Stock gingerbread ! Just open app booom opened ! I think it's because GS2 already had a bunch of patches and updates to the OS comparing to the Note !
So I think the only way to fix this in Note is to wait for ICS !

Try rebooting into CWM then clearing cache and davlik cache. I had similar problem with another ROM gradually slowing down and wasn't sure what was causing it. Clearing the caches sorted the problem.

I have overclocked a few phones in my past, but the Note? Really its so fast and all works super smooth. Maybe with the right ROM where the dev already pre-overclocked it... But setCPU was never working great for me. Maybe just my opinion, but wipe, and get yourself a good ROM. No need to overclock this beast.
There is no lag "problem" per se. period. Stating there is a "problem" makes the assumption that there can be a fix.
You cannot fix the inequality in display processing between the S2 and the Note, given that the Note must process 2.6 times as much information for the display as the S2, so it will ALWAYS appear to be not quite as fast as the S2, given it has similar hardware.
So given you cannot get a gallon of beer in a pint glass, making it a different pint glass (ICS) wont help.
Now, sure the appearance of "lag" on the Note can be minimised thru tweaking optimisations, but note (small n) that the same can be also applied to the S2! Essentially, never in a month of Sundays will two devices with similar hardware, one of which is doing 2.6 times the work, ever appear to operate with the same UI zip.

The thing is...I don´t have any lag at all. Even with stock. BUT I can see a huge difference (on Stock rom) between TouchWiz and alternative launchers. Touchwiz is smooth as butter, whereas Go Launcher Ex shows a small lag (and it´s the fastest GB launcher alternative afaik.
And beside that: Currently I´m on Stunner (ICS) and here it is even a better experience. Absolutely no lag or waiting time, never, period.
I can´t sign the statement anymore, that the note is slower than a SGSII...I have both of them, and on Stunner it´s quite the same experience

Yea may be this is because of the launcher am using (ADWlauncher). I think I should try some other launcher.

Is there some sort of hacked market for SGN like i had on HD2. So when you change your DPI you still can use all market apps. As i now cant use zen brush on CM9 when i changed the DPI form 320=240

I haven't heard anything like what you describe for SGN. Does the problem continues on all dpi changes? Have you tries 260?

This app will solve all your problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro the 'fix market' options lets you install a customised version of the market that tricks it into thinking your using a dpi of your choice
Love my Galaxy Note, but wish I could fit more onto my massive screen at times. On other devices such as the Nexus 7, changing the DPI will enable a tablet UI? Is this the same on the Note, so if I were to root and change to a lower DPI will tablet apps run?
Is it safe to do this, or will it ruin pre-built in apps such as S-Memo and the dialer/other phone apps?

I don't want to change ROMs, as I need the Samsung S-Pen apps. I like their functionality and use them to map out homework and my day-to-day schedule. Can't lose them. Nope, just wondering if changing the DPI would enable tablet UI and have it work properly. If not, then I won't bother. Not too worried, just would be a nice thing to have if possible to do!
Changing dpi won't turn your phone into a tablet it will just simply make things smaller so you can fit more on the screen

You can change your phone to tablet mode with any kernel/ROM. Can't remember the details but a quick search in Q&A and DEV should throw up the hack.

Tablet mode is 213 dpi and lower. It will work on stock gb roms, but has been disabled on stock ics.
