Hi folks,
a friend is trying to create widgets for android and we encounter the problem that the widget does not freeze when an application is running or the homescreen is switched.
Do you have some tips how to do this, to save battery life and improve performance?
Thank you very much in advice.

Hi all,
i have just installed miui rom and really like the ui and particularly the speed of the rom.
the one issue i have is the lack of app drawer and the apparently random nature of application placement on the home screens. having browsed the threads this appears to be a 'feature' of miui...
to manage these apps it is recommended to use folders. but speed is an issue to me. creating a folder is easy enough, but i find it extremely slow to long press on an icon and drag to the necessary folder for all my apps. i would have liked to see a quick way of management, similar to folderorganizer app where you can quickly place multiple apps in folders.
does anybody have tips that allow better / quicker management of apps and folders in miui?
I'm using LauncherPro on top of MIUI. It's awesome and very fast! Especially after LP was optimized for Gingerbread.
ive been using miui for a few weeks now and i think its great, i havent installed any launchers on top as i think it kinda messes with the whole idea of the rom in the 1st place.
but one thing ive found out is when u click and hold an icon so u can move it, u can use another finger/hand to scroll thru the pages. that way i managed to quickly sort eerything into folders and where on which page i wanted it
hope that helps
otherwise use launcher pro or adw launcher, from past exprience i prefer ADW Launcher Ex best $3 spent on the market for me
hi ruskival - thanks for the tip.
i just wish there was a quicker way to organise, and to use labels rather than folders (like folder organiser, which, despite its name uses labels rather than folders...).
oh, and scrollable widgets please!!
i love widgets as a quick view to my calendar, mail, messages, rss feeds, facebook, twitter etc.

Try Beautiful Widgets, I haven't seen that is eating to much battery or lower the performance of the phone.
The point is to remember some rules like:
1. Disable Geolocation - pick your place permanently, it will prevent data and battery usage for checking by network were you are, sepcially when you changing places a lot.
2. Do not choose to update the weather data to often (like 15min. or half an hour - I choosed every 6 hours, for me it's enough).
3. Do not use Weather Live Wallpaper it also consume battery and performance.
I hope I helped.
regards.
Hi Guys
Here's my setup:
1) Running the Poland firmware , L1B
2) Have installed the 3rd party launcher fix
3) Nova Launcher
4) 5 home screens, with moderate amount of Widgets and shortcut.
Includes PowerAmp widget, HD widget, Flipboard widget, Simple Calendar widget.
Problem:
Everytime I wake my phone up fro deep sleep, and unlock to home screen. Then if I swipe left or right, the transition isn't smooth.There will be a bit shuttering and jittering.
After a few seconds it's back to it's silky smooth self.
I've tried it by removing all the shortcuts and widgets, yet the result is same.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
Any Fix?
Bump :silly:

Hi Guys, I really like the S Planner widget but every time it's on my home screen it seems like the entire phone lags. Does this happen to anybody else? Also are there any known fixes for homescreen lag?
On a previous ROM i was able to create folders with widgets, just in the same way as i would do with apps - i.e. tap and drag the widget onto one another...
Since updating my rom however this no longer works. .. with apps i have no problems and but no joy with widgets. .. I'm also pretty sure it is not a launcher issue as i use nova as default but have the same problem with touchwiz...
So question us whether or not this is normal, and more importantly is there anyway of activating this feature by, say, wanam or the like?
Thanks in advance for any opinion on this subject...
