So it seems like every live wallpaper slows my phone down, bigtime. All animations are VERY choppy and laggy. Seems to happen to other people using the HD2 with Android as well. Any known fix?
dont use the lives, kills batt anyways!
I don't care about battery. I'm always close to a charger.
What build/kernel are you using? Obviously the live wallpaper is going to use more system resources and slow you down a bit as well as use more battery, but it shouldn't be too bad. try overclocking your processor with setcpu that could help. Also, try restarting after applying the wallpaper or killing some background apps that you aren't using to free up memory. I love the live wallpapers too but I prefer speed and performance instead.

Using the HD2 Nexus build (with the G-Sensor fix). Kernel is 2.6.32.15r8.2.
Even at 1.13GHz with performance governer enabled this happens to me too.
It's not terrible though, the animations just look choppy.

Yeah, it's annoying as hell.
See above for my kernel version...I really want to fix this. Seems almost like a video driver issue.
mine are fine with lives on, still smooth as before...must be lucky!

I presume setcpu is a Market app?
Come to think of it this could be a stagefright issue. Not 100% familiar with it but i know it has something to do with video playback and chopiness, and there is a way to enable/disable it.

You can buy it on the market as 'donationware' but you can install it from the APK here.

using vbn win rom 2.12.50.2 radio, to be honest ivew tried so many droid builds i dont know what im using!says 2.2 hd2 android pimped by CMYLXGO,kernal 2.6.32.15r8? sorry dont know more then that!!amazing build, 2 days battery, so smooth and quick!!
Hm, I'm using the HD2 Nexus build with 2.14 Radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793924&page=1
That build. That is the MOST stable one I've found so far. The G-Sensor even works perfectly, quite amazing.
Well I got SetCPU installed, but I don't know how to clock it higher than 998MHz...
All animated backgrounds run smooth for me. Kernel is hastarin 8.5.1 and ROM is MDJ Froyo Clean Sense v. 2.3 (old version).
Also, I run my phone at around 600 MhZ and undervolt it more than the default MDJ ROMs. Everything still runs smoothly. So it really should be running 100% smoothly on your phone - if it isn't, something is wrong with your ROM combination.
Is it possible to have for example the Swype keyboard while having the phone in the normal position and then having it switch to another keyboard while in landscape ??
I know it is possible if phone is rooted...

Actually, there was an article on XDA's home page about a member who created an app that does just that. You'll have to search though.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro. Works great for me.
On a related note, you know how when you switch to landscape the keyboard basically uses the whole screen (as in you only see the type to compose line and the keyboard itself)..well, is there a way to change or modify that so at least ill be able too see something over the type to compose screen?
Its really sucky when im on the msn app or sms app and i have to hide the keyboard ib order to see what was last sent to me

Compared with DI18, you lose the stock Android music app and it's replaced with a touchwiz one. I deleted the music player from the /system/app folder and installed "Android Music" (based off Android 2.3 music player) from the Market.
The stock Android keyboard dictionary doesn't work, fixed that by downloading Gingerbread keyboard from the Market and deleting the stock keyboards from the /system/app folder.
Stock web browser is horribly buggy. I deleted it and installed Dolphin Mini.
It's really fast as far as I've tested.
I've been quite pleased thus far as well. I already found the Epic (even on 2.1) to be snappier than any non-dual core 2.2+ device I've fiddled with. This just makes it that much more smooth/powerful.
Are there any UI differences? Ie, Touchwiz launcher, lock screen, pop up menus, etc?

Yeah you just named like 85% of the apps I use and deleted them. I would do this as well, but I don't know how... yet, I would need a painfully detailed guide or a 4 min or less youtube video showing me ( I'm a visual learner that's how I learned to root and crap). Ill have to do some digging in the forum, wiki and youtube on how todo what you did. Thanks for the heads up, rather prepare before updating and rooting than update and root and not be prepared.

After I did the viper guide on how to reset your gps (it's a taxing guide) it's been good on dk28. But that's good to know that they've improved that which should have been fixed a ****le ago.

There are a lot of differences. Can't think of them all off the top of my head but here are a few. The settings icons are in color. There is a new messenger app. The lock screen is the same. The answer screen is the same. You can modify the home screen (add, remove rearrange and so on). You can modify the apps section icons. Color scheme on popups and menu items are better IMO. You can modify the tray icons. Media player is TW3 now.
I was really hoping for one of the other touchwiz lockscreens. Do we at least get music controls on the lock screen?

The Captivate has the puzzle-piece lock screen. Not sure about music controls on it, but it's a bit of a different look/feel than the generic "slide up to unlock" one we have.

interesting thing is Dolphin Mini doesn't have any sort of checkerboarding effect. It could be something with the browser and flash in general as I do not know if it does this on other phones. Before Froyo, the stock browser never did it. I guess we could try uninstalling flash to see if the browser still does it to narrow it down a bit more.

When you zoom in and out on certain web pages with the stock browser you'll notice a gray and white checkerboard effect. It's not a terrible bug, but it's annoying.
That is not a big issue. Its not an issue at all. TWS bug or BT is a big issue
Why don't you use another browser I use skyfire it is way better than the stock browser never had any checkerboarding with it

Browser. It's definitely not flash. The upcoming SRF release I'm developing has no checkerboard issues whatsoever, with Flash 10.2 up and running.

Even if the EC05 and EB13 browsers didn't checkerboard I'd still never use them. The stock Android browser is the best one I've ever used and nothing on the market compares to its simple interface. I wish someone would make a ROM that didn't have this "TouchWiz Browser" and just use the stock Android 2.2 browser.
If the checkerboard browser is all that is wrong then I will be very very happy. 3G data is fantastic and so far BT has been very steady. I have had no issues so far and have been on EC05 all day.

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.
