When I pinch in on the home screen to see screen previews of all my screens, the Apex launcher lags so bad it makes me cringe. I've even selected to keep Apex in memory, but that doesn't help with the extremely laggy screen preview. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

1.Had you try to enable force GPU rendering in developer option at system setting sir? and reduced the Window animation scale and Transition animation scale to 0.5 ? maybe you can try and see the different
2.Had you try it on other launcher and same result?
im on Criskelo v11.2 too did try apex and have same problem,you can try nova launcher everything good :victory:
Flash a aokp based rom and problemo solved!
interesting, didnt know that returned. It use to be an issue on earlier roms of ics.
You can try deleting data of Apex launcher, uninstall then reinstall freshly. That might solve it.
Yoi can try jbroid in recovery to clean maybe kernel issues and flash speedmod back afterwords. That way any kernel issues should be resolved.
Lastly, dependant upon your install patch of the ics rom it may be last option. Ultra clean instal: on speedmod kernel in recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, then in advanced dalvik cache. Then format system, data,(never efs and beware of idiotic mapping of sd card sometimes to external card,sometimes emmc to, best to take external card out).Note device now will not boot, all data and lingering files from previously installed roms are lost, thus no crap can hinderer normal operation from rom to be installed. Then head into download mode and reinstal rom through pc odin. Then install speedmod(note binary counter, annoyingly will increase giving exclamation mark) throught pc odin. Remedy anoying exclamation mark with chainfire tool, forgot name.
This way you, as a last resort you will have optimal situation for rom, but will have lost all data and installed applications.
You see most roms are nonwipe, thus files that can hinder operations are still there when updating ota/kies or by flashing non wipe rom throught pc odin. This causes almost all unexplained battery drains, weird foreclosures, etc that some experience and some not.
note advice is based on tips from other users and experience, all at own risk
also, never wipe and perform these steps on stock kernel, or stock kernel recovery, but always from safe kernel, or safe kernel booted recovery, like speedmod

To all the above posters:
I'll try what zentord suggested. I don't plan on using any other ROM our launcher, of course, as I have settled on what I want.
AOSP and AOKP ROMs are not suitable for a device like the Note because they don't support the S Note and Memo.
Wiping everything for the animation to work properly is not worth it.

Have you eventually resolved this issue without wiping?
I came across this too in S2 with Apex 1.2.5 (pro) on XWLPT and XWLPU stock based ROM.
Would be interested in how you resolved this. If I revert Apex back to version 1.1.0, the animation works perfectly.
There is even an option to change preview animation under Home Screen Settings with version 1.1.0.
However, as soon as play store upgrade it to 1.2.5, that 'preview animation' option disappear and preview animation becomes really chunky.
Revert back to 1.1.0 and it's fine again.
I will try asking the developer to see if this is a known issue, quoting this thread.
It's the icon labels. They eat a lot of performance on both apex and Nova. In Nova launcher it makes my home screen transitions laggy and in apex the overview. I don't use the overview often so I chose apex. If you disable the icon labels everything is butter but that is not something everyone likes.
I hope they fix these issues in the future!

I'm using Onecosmic's Rc4.2 Rom, with Semaphore 0.91 Kernel, the phone is rebooting whille I'm in the middle of the conversation with someone on the phone.
Is there any soultion ??
Are you overclocking? I don't overclock and have been running that combo of ROM and kernel, with nova launcher or stock launcher since they were released with no issues. Even switched to several other ICS roms but always come back to this as it seems to be the best for me. If you aren't overclocking, don't have a different launcher or dialer I would try flashing again and make sure to do factory reset, clear cache, clear fallback cache and clear batiks settings. I usually do all of these before and after flashing just to be sure.

So I should cancel the overclock?
without it the phone is running a little bit slow, any soultion to cancel the overclock and keep the Sgs running fast?
V4 was released today and I have the following questions:
1) Download link not working
2) Does the modem have better wifi reception
3) Are there any included launchers
Thanks
1) http://www.mediafire.com/?3d6da7j5i306v7u - That link works.
2) Test different modems and see which you get the best with, at the minute my best is JVU.
3) Probably not, check? Also you can get more from the market / on here.

2. All Dark Knight Roms got no Modem pre installed. If you got a modem, u will keep it after flashing from ur earlier installations.
3. Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher from market.
Dark Knight rom got an pre installed Nova Launcher and this one runs very smooth (except the sporadic rom bugs )
TV
someone can say if digital tv is working in dark knight 4?

In this case how can I flash KB3 and where can I find it?
Also would you suggest formatting to ext4 and how should I do it so that I don't lose anything?
Hey guys, i flashed V4 and now my phone is stuck at the bootanimation (i had it booting for 20 min). I did a full wipe, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and even tried to reflash. Any suggestions?
edit: i got it working after 3rd reflash
I didnot like it.....
My suggestion: wait for an update
I have tried switching from V3 to V4 yesterday. I encountered problems with Titanium and GPlay kept FCing so I returned to my backup of the stable V3.
V4 was rushed out so I´m waiting for the next update.

Did you directly flash the ROM ? In that case you may face FCs often.
Better take a nandroid backup.
wipe cache and data
flash the rom
Rebot and let the phone start
Go to recovery and then from backuo and restore -> advanced restore -> select the backup you did -> restore data
I moved from Elite V7.1 to Dark Knight 4 and dint face any such issues.
in my case titanium crashed while restoring and couldn't complete the process.I think I'll stay on gb rom all the way till a gb-stable-and-smooth- like ics rom comes out.

I think it includes the devil kernel because I when i flashed V3 over stock ROM it changed to Devil Kernel
Stability
I can confirm that Dark Knight v.3 is much more stable than v.4.
Upgrading to v.4 I found these bugs:
1) After the first reboot I activated the wi-fi toogle and it started to switch on and off repeatedly. The system error that appears every time forces you to reboot the device.
2) Many users reported problems with titanium backup (I didn't try it)
3) Trying to move an application to USB (SD) causes a hotboot ( !!!! )
4) The new "Dark Knight" application crashes if you try (f.ex.) to install a new theme or a new battery icon ... after this crash you can no more change the battery icon from the ROM control menu.
I upgraded from Dark Knight 3, wiping everything before flashing as recommended. I made a second try upgrading from the original gingerbread 2.3.3 by Samsung (and wiping everything of course). The result was the same in both cases.
Stable DK4
If someone has flashed a stable DK V4 pls post the procedure that you have performed
Thought of going after this rom. But its better to wait for some better version in future with lesser bugs

Hi there,
I've got a small problem concerning Nova and Apex launchers on various custom ICS roms (i.e. Cassie's XtraLiteRom ICS Version 4 or Modded Lite AlBa LQ3 Final Stage). It's weird, because they don't "normally" FC, instead they freeze (in the same manner) for a while with black screen (notification bar still working) or with the frozen picture of app I currently use. It happens mostly when I try to go back to the main screen, either via "back" or "home" button.
Can anyone help me with this matter? Thanks in advance!
I have an Apex launcher theme which doesn't stick after a reboot. After reboot, it always goes back to the default TW theme. Does anyone know why this is?

If you click the apex launcer pro in the setting there is a help there that says you can put your apex apk in the system/app, see if it helps, read it yourself there to be sure. I never try it myself because my apex is just fine, do it at your own risk friend.:angel:

I believe that was the solution for widgets, not the whole theme, correct?
If people have other ideas please provide your input.

Good day everyone. I just want to ask you guys, especially those who are using stock roms, which do you prefer, stock ics or stock gb? I'm coming from PA by Utacka and I pretty much used custom roms from the start so i never actually used stock.
Please provide a reason as to why. I just want to have a stable rom while waiting for the official jelly bean update.
Thank you everyone.

there is no as such reasons to be on a particular ROM.. its each and everyones taste that keep them stuck to a particular rom,
as far as stock is concerned stock ICS rooted with a hydracore kernel works best for me
I would compare GB to windows XP. Sure it was good back in the day, but it's had it's run now and time to stay current. ICS has been released for a good while now and should have had all the bugs ironed out. Little things like the improved task switching (previews over icons), and swipe to dismiss notifications, while small differences make for a better experience over all.
A better kernal like hydracore to improve battery life and a stock ICS (or maybe back to rocketrom) would be what i would go back to if i was so inclined (i'm on utacka's PA at the moment too)

Thank you for the answer. My only intention is to have a pretty reliable phone so I can use my phone when it really counts. I hate that when I have to do something really important, I will encounter freezes or out of memory error that prevents me to actually multitask.
I haven't tried rocketrom but I am willing to try that. My only fear is if it will lag after few days of use. My boss' phone which is sgs2 would go for days or months without a reboot and he is on stock gb. He doesn't know anything about smartphones in general so he thinks he is using a regular phone, and he is pretty happy about the phone's performance. I just want the same experience.
Thank you.

ICS 4.0.4 without hesitation especially with interducing of safe kernel
Flash stock ICS 4.0.4 via PC Odin (the new one like xxlrt or ddlr9) then flash safe stock kernel like PhilZ kernel for your new rom from (also via odin or cwm): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And thats it!! Full stock, very smooth (compared with older 4.0.4), and most important it is perfectly stable, and everything works.
I only aded a call recording mode beacause I realy need it.
Hope that help!

Okay I'll look into that. Someone suggested about Rocketrom, do you think that Rocketrom could perhaps be more stable and faster than fully stock ( except kernel maybe) xxlrt or ddlr9, and do everything work on that? Files are too large for touchwiz roms so i want to know more about different types of rom before doing some flashing. I won't have so much time this coming months so I really want a reliable phone. Thanks a lot.

I dont want complaining on certain rom, but if you ask i will say my opinion on rocketrom. It is a good and stable rom, i have used it with hydracore kernel and dont find any problems with in about 2-3 weeks of use. But it is based on xxlrq which i found a bit laggy for me (the same story is for completly stock xxlrq). I dont know which is a difernce in xxlrq compared to xxlrt (some says the diference is only in kernel but i dont know).
So i was tired of flashing and stuff and decided to go on completly stock, picked up a latest xxlrt and whoaa, great. The reason why i am on lrt because my note is from german, i think that same story is for indian lr6 and lr9.
Then the story begins:
-Flashed stock GB xxlc1 via pc odin
-full wipe
-flash stock ics 4.0.4. xxlrt via pc odin
-root (dr.ketans guide) - only because of callrecord mod
-first flashed hydracore 4.3std kernel (also great kernel) and then philZ realesed his stock, emmc bug free kernel, so i flashed it.
Now used only a PhilZ kernel because it is completly stock with removed emmc brick bug. And for stock xxlrt rom it is perfect combination for me (just choose right kernel for your rom)
-Added only call recording mode
-settings > application > unninstalling aplications which i dont use ; > ALL > disabling (readers, music, social hub, etc...)
-And thats it!
Perfectly stable, smooth with great battery life, without any problem, FC or else. Without reboot for about 3 days (reason flashed Philz kernel 23.09)
Finally happy with my note :victory:
Hope that helped
