Live Wallpaper! Sluggish!

Whats the point of live wallpaper when its slows your phone down! Google should improve this or take the feature away.....it worthless!!
Anyone else feel this way?
someone who doesnt know that this kills your phone would think its the phone that sux!!

It does make it real sluggish. I just use them as a "show off" thing.

Are you calling me a liar? Not wise.

I dont use the word liar. Im just saying your not be honest. And I think you do a diservice to other android users who will get confused by your answer wondering why theres is sluggish and stuttery.....when using live wallpaper (atleast the ones that come built into fascinate)

I think you just don't know how to use your phone.
FYI--Telling someone that they are not honest is calling them a liar.

Nope it's you

Some live wallpapers are way more taxing than others. Depends on your home launcher too.
I'm using the tw vibrant launcher and most lwps don't slow it down at all.
Mario lwp on playback mode has no real lag problems at all.
If you're using adw or launcher pro, good luck. They don't handle live wallpapers nearly as smoothly.

adrynalyne im not trying to insult you bro. not my intention. what I meant in a friendly way to say was "C'mon you f'n kidding me?"
Unless im a complete mental....you mean to tell me that lets say you use the Pond wallpaper....that doesnt slow your launcher down? Or even slow you down when flickin through pages?
BTW Im using launcherpro set to its fastest settings.
Without the live wallpaper i ZOOM!

No, but as mentioned above, different launchers handle lwp better.
Sadly, the twlauncher handles it the best.

@pkopalek just saw your post about launcherpro having problems.....if thats the case SORRY I spoke to soon i am a TARD!

Check what running in your back ground dude. Only time Ive experienced sluggishness is when I had the voodoo installed

TouchWiz with the lwp flurry yields no lag in page changes or app launching. Just about a 8% extra decrease in battery throughout the day versus a static image.
good day.

I had some lag issues in the past all of them fixed by task killer or format sd card to clear out all the crap on it. Cache cleaner helps alot as well. Havent had many issues with live wallpapers only one would totally freeze my phone so I tossed it and no more issues. Been over a month since noticable lag or any freezing... And thats the truth. Take it or leave it.

Photo gallery focus

how come when I open photo gallery and open the pics they are blurry until u resize them? It isn't blurry where u can't see it but u can definitely see a clearing up and sharpening of the image if u resize it. This is really annoying me for some reason.

I have that same issue. I have had it with rooted and unrooted EVOs both on the 003 and 004 versions of hardware. It seems to happen on pretty much all sense roms too. guess its a small sense issue, but it is annoying.

Its just the app fully loading the full resolution of the image. An 8MP picture has a lot of data, and in order to speed the app up, it renders a lower res file first, then completes it a second or so later.

Is there a way to have it load it all to begin with.
Sent from my rooted HTC EVO using the xda app!

Nope, as it states above, if the app loaded them fully before displaying the usability of the app would take a nose dive.
I suppose you could look for a different gallery app in the market, but I am sure they all follow the same principle.

so you just want a big hourglass rotating around while the picture loads?

Gallery Frustration!!!!

My pictures display newest to oldest but my videos display oldest to newest...I cant find a setting or anything...any suggestions?

Heh. That's a good point. I'd like to know this as well.
If you don't get a good answer, i know there are several apps on the market that have sorting options.

Yeah just use another app from.the.market.

B&B Gallery. Do yourself a favor and get this ;-)
It also renders your fotos full resolution. So in normal view, its way sharper than stock gallery. At full zoom, shows foto in max res

I like quick pic honestly bit I haven't tried what hayabusa recommended yet. Btw what year is your bike hayabusa? I got an 04 gsxr1000 with some modifications to it. Fast as hell as is all the liter and above bikes are.

I am unable to find an app called B&B Gallery in the market.

No b&b here either.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Found it...

Are you running stock 2.1 or DK28/rom?
My gallery displays all pictures and videos from newest to oldest by default (running rooted stock).

2003 model ;-)
Power wise it was stock but I had it geared. It had 80k miles on it.
That thing was fast!! The 1000s are fast as hell too. I been beat by some lol. I spun a bearing trying to start it up in windy 15 degree weather.
So its selling as of right now. I will either but my roommates 1363cc busa or look for a gsxr 750 or 1000
And thanks for someone posting the b&b gallery. I'm curiou what you think. Its tons better than stock

Cm7

I'm loving this Tom but it freezes sometimes and sometimes it want let even get into my pictures gallery. and when it does let me open my pic gallery it is slow as crap. Any fix to this or do I need to change versions. I'm on the 7.0.3.

I've been on nightly 126 and have not had any of the problems you've stated. I haven't had any problems at all.

What kernel are you using? I've heard of gallery problems with tiamat. I have no trouble with the gallery, maybe try a different kernel or try 7.1.0 RC1.

I've never encountered a sluggish CM7 release, from 7.0 to the latest nightlies. If you're going to the trouble of wiping everything, I'd upgrade to a newer version. Nightlies thread is in the development section.

Most "sluggishness" is generally unmodified adw launcher. Dig in the settings of it and play a little. I personally prefer and use lpp, so I can't help with that too much.

Just a quick tip, the default gingerbread gallery is slow as **** if you have a lot of pictures, hell even if you don't it's slow as hell. My recommendation is to get quickpic from the market, after you use that you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

ICS Touch Screen Issues

I see this issue on ALL APPS and DIFFERENT LAUNCHERS.
I cant scroll properly when using quickpic or changing screens on lauchers only does it on ICS. Running STOCK. Does not do this when I go back to gingerbread but while on ics its annoying

Can't say that I've had this issue. The only time that my touch screen acts wonky is when the charger is plugged in, then it acts very odd sometimes.

I found Force GPU rendering to use 2D hardware acceleration in applications but it didnt change anything
its not lag that I am having. Its issues with say when swiping through pics in the gallery or quickpic where scrolling just sucks

I responded in another post by you (best GB rom or something) and asked why you wanted to change to GB.
ICS is very smooth swiping up down, left right, on any ICS rom. Not laggy at all. However I do have an issue with one app regarding sideway scrolling, but that is a UK specific app, and the dev knows about it. Quickpic scrolling is super smooth for me, and so is on Apex, Nova and my preferred choice, GoLauncher.

i mean everything is EXTREAMLY smooth. It just acts up. When moving faster it kinda acts up and glitches like going up it will sometimes go down. I know its not an issue with MY note as it does it with my AT&T version too

If I go slow everything is fine. But when going fast its very annoying, it doesnt happen on Gingerbread
Lick I can flick my finger fast sometimes and it will go SLOW as well

i hear you man..same issues here..thats why im back on the silky stock rooted gb.....same thing you say...it is smooth, but its glitchy when scrolling everywhere...noticed the same thing
one more thing, why couldnt they stick to the beautiful gb rotation animation in ics?in ics rotation is a bit choppy, you'll notice it particularly when exiting from apps from the landscape mode to the launcher( eg: mx player)...
so back on good old gb for now
