Using launcher pro instead of touch wiz

Just wondering if there is a way to replace touchwiz with launcher pro and ensure that touchwiz isn't using memory? When I user launcher pro as the default tw still uses memory and makes my phone run even slower. An example of the speed difference is in neocore I usually get 55.4 fps but with launcher pro running I only get 52 fps

Omg. 3fps slower. Noooooo.

Your not going to notice a difference of 3fps. Your just being paranoid.

You are making a wrong assumption there.. Firstly, that represents a 6% slowdown only.. Barely anything.
Secondly, how do you know it's because Touchwiz is running. Isn't it possible that Launcherpro uses more resources than Touchwiz?

Short of installing one of the new roms without touchwiz no.

touchwiz is not using any memory when you set LauncherPro as default
you can easily verify that when you run any Task killer program that shows hidden active apps like SystemPanel,
download Home Switcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
and make LauncherPRO default

Point in using task killer?

Question given, i still use Advanced task killer, but I see not much else people do.

There is NO point using a task killer on Android, as it will only load the needed/wanted stuff back into memory and thus using even more battery than NOT killing the task.

thanks for the heads up, good to know.

what about ram manager apps (like RAM Manager Pro)? I have f**ked my phone a few times with ram tweaking so I'm skeptic with these and don't really wanna test until I'm clearly sure.

I used to use ram tweaker programs but now just use spica123's hp mod or v8 superscript. Just searck xda for them.

Using v6 its pretty cool.

Generally it is discouraged to use any kind of task killler on gingerbread because it messes with the built-in memory manager. If by any chance you are using froyo or earlier version of android, then it is ok.
As for the v6 supercharger, I'm using it too.

oops I meant V6, Just wanted more power

Just as stevvie said, you will kill the apps for a few seconds, but they will just reload again. It kills your battery.
Also, I've noticed that sometimes apps that weren't even running before the killing launch after the killing (i.e. you kill 10 apps, 12 apps launch a couple of seconds later).
Most importantly, your widgets can get messed up, unless you exclude the widget app in ATM.

Best camera app

Hi fellow XDA'ers...
So, I am running Anidroid 0.8 and was wondering is there a way of getting touchwiz camera app or is there a better camera app around? I'm not too pleased with the camera, photos seem a bit naff at times... or is this in general?... I've tried control shot but was far too complex for my liking of taking a few photos every day of my girlfriend and our children.
Thanks for any help.

Fotor definitly, best ui, best edition capabities... I tested a few apps but this one is the best so far, for me at least

Seems good so far... For anyone who wants to find Fotor quickly, here's the link to Google Play... it's a free app too!

What rom do you use, and why?

So, what rom do guys and girls use on our beloved 4x, and why do you use it? Also mention what kernel you use, and why

No replys?...

Cm (02/07) + Optimus Prime V1.9. I use cm because it's (IMO) the best way to enjoy the android experience. Also because all the mods are compatible with cm.
The reason i use this kernel is because of the performance/battery life.
Cheers

Stock v20a Euro with stock kernel I deleted some applications that come preinstaled and now everything is fine.Using stock because i like LG UI 3 and because i didnt yet installed CWM If anuyone can recomend guild how to instal CWM (best version for our phone) please do so
P.S. mine 20a Euro is unlocked and rooted.

Zaiben ROM and eternity project kernel, best performance and battery life, first time that I don't need to lower the graphics of real racing 3 to ir run lag free, also first time that I run butterly smooth mc4 and 10 hours sleeping with only 8% drop

Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable with optimus prime 1.8
Best batterylife/performance, and also... 3g isnt bugged
I just can't use optimus prime 1.9 or 1.91 cause my cel takes like 3 seconds to turn the screen on

@Jonte Thank you for quick explanation I already did unlock bootloader on my lg so now just CWM to go

The Last zaiben with stock jb kernel. With cyanogen and/or other kernel my phone gets so hot . Also i get a good deep sleep with this combo.

Stable PAC-man (22.3.0) + Optimus Prime v1.91, for me is fast and stable. Rom offer a lot of customization
Cheers

Great thread. I was wondering if all of you can provide screenshots of your battery life? Im still on stock JB and kernel, but rooted, with few apps frozen, but my battery life is still rather short.

well, I used to enjoy playing some Tegra games on it, but I just hope there's something to smoothen the performance and enhance the battery life as it is now still very disappointing.
I'm currently running V20A rooted still with locked bootloader ( I believe ). I have frozen several LG apps (if not all), and the battery life is still disappointing.

IceColdLG-P880_IceColdJelly_3.6_Final_HOX[PORT]by_SnXo. Very fast,stable,long batery life.I thing is the best rom so far.

SlimBean v 7.1 with Iodak kernel..
Fast and smooth. Never used a ROM for this long!

I use the stock rom V20 with iodak v6 kernel. It works smooth and has a good battery life.

Umm? So you play 38 hours with screen off? Including 30 hours without battery? Wow -- would you mind sharing that trick?
This is a really useful thread indeed, as one can not only learn which ROMs are available but also how stable/battery-saving etc. they are. What I'm still missing are the links to the ROMs sources. Would be great if you could include them! Thanks

I connected a mini starks reactor to my cellphone, also I play audio only experimental games hahahhaah
Sorry for the typo, I don't really remember what I was trying to say, maybe 40 mins of gaming because normally I play real racing 3, modern combat 4, for a 5 minutes periods of time... various times a day...

Yepp, that sounds more like it, and fully logical. Should have thought myself that there are some external chargers available also in the atomics sector; leaks are that common nowadays #D
Honestly: Yeah, I already thought you meant "10 min", but I couldn't resist the joke

[Q] Any one have any performance tips for the Mi Note Pro

Hi All,
I am just putting this out there to see if anyone is doing anything special to improve the performance or battery life for the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.
I did see somewhere that someone was using the SKYNET_GENYSIS mod which I have tried to install but it does not seem to be working for me. I have posted the problem in the SKYNET_GENYSIS thread.
Is anyone using some form of Kernel Tuner that works well with the SD810?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Regards,

You can check for "Performance mode" enabling, via Mi Verification app.
Or you can modify CPU and GPU minimum speed via Kernel Adiutor for example.
