[Q] Home Screen Lag.

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.

Go here on your Xoom and click the download link:

I also created a video last night showing live wallpaper and launcher pro:

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..

Galaxy Tab with LCD Density

I wasnt satisfied with 1024x600p resolution the icons were huge so i rooted my tab with z4 and ive installed LCD Density .. and im keeping my tab at 200dpi (not to big but not to low either).
I have a question .. will this drain my battery faster cause ive noticed my battery lasts less in the last 2 days.. or is it just my 3G connection (im on Froyo 2.2 XWJJ3 default stock rom).

Changing your lcd density will not effect your battery

I like mine at 175, but my question is- will lowering LCD density have an affect on how the android market detects app compatibility? There seems to be yes answers and no answers I'm very confused...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

This is my second tablet device that I have changed the density for and it doesnt seem to affect any app compatibility.

Whenever I set 200 density, market doesnt show me many apps that I have downloaded for free and paid in "My Apps". It also doesnt let me update the apps that are not shown.

For a little while now I've had my density set back to 240. I also had some app update issues when the density was changed. Appbrain would often show apps that had updates available that didn't show up as updateable when I looked in the market. And although appbrain said there were updates the apps wouldn't update.
Haven't had any such problems with my density set back to 240.

Changing your density will only affect apps and games that are not compatible with the density that you change to. When I change my density to 200, which is my ideal resolution, I have 5 games that do not run and their icons show up as a green and while box with the android logo in the middle of the box, they also do not show up in the my apps list in the market. When I change back to the original density of 240 everything works as normal, all 5 apps run and their icons come back as they should and they also show back up in the my apps list in the market.

Does the camera work when set at 180? Mine doesn't work on anything below 200

182 was the lowest I could get and have the camera work.

I just tried 182 and it works now on mine.

Is there a way to change the density but keep the font size unchanged?Thanks

No, changing the density is changing the resolution. Everything gets smaller or larger at the same rate.

Would changing DPI run tablet apps?

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.

The DPI of the display is how many physical pixels there are in one inch square of the phones screen, software cannot change this.
There may be software that could possibly force the phone to use a lower resolution, but i'm not sure why you would want that.

I got bricked after using an app.
If you're rooted you can edit the build.prop yourself, or use Xposed to control each app separately.

¿DPI change?

I want to change the DPI 220 would be right.? currently in 320 this may serve to improve the quality a bit?

Okay, just download a dpi changer front the market. In my opinion 220 would be to small, but whatever your preference. Having said that, this is the development section. The only thing that you should post in here is development, not questions about development, requests, or other things like that. Just for your future knowledge because some people get really irritated by posting non development in this area.
Oh by the way in the unofficial development thread in the general section there was a discussion about this and an app that worked great.

I'm on a 240 dpi. Everything looks fine to me. Although the quick toggle looks a bit off. The lines which separate the icon. Nothing biggie.
