After playing around with launcher Pro, i realised that the app drawer is quite laggy.
Funny thing is when i switch to the stock mode the app drawer is nice a smoood (yes Smoood lol)
Is anyone else having a similar issue ?
Hope this make sense as it seems like broken english to me ahahah
Running Froyo, Rooted, OCLF, Launcher Pro of course..
Started being laggy for me after froyo upgrade, using zeam at the minute with no lag at all.

whats Zeam mate ?
It is a launcher similar to launcher pro but free, very lightweight it is on the market i think there is a thread on here about it aswell. I can recommend it pal.

cheers bud , ill give it a try.
Had a play and I love its simplicity, but would live a few extras, as mentioned already.
Still some glitches, but not as much as lp. But lp, might take centre stage when its re-write is complete.

I know what you mean, like you I am waiting for the re-write, I just felt LP got a bit heavy, and seemed even heavier now I'm on froyo.

I did that when I installed froyo, complete wipe of everything, I am a big believer in that but the problem still arose. Might re-flash again if another build comes out and see where it gets me.
Yeah launcherpro has been slow since froyo, I'm using ADW cause of that
Cool, I'm not alone then. Might give lp a rest till the new version comes, built for froyo. Using zeam as recommended. Kinda love it more than lp atm.

Do not install the version v0.8.1.0
The v. 8.0.0 is smoother
I actually uninstalled ADW and replaced it with launcher pro because ADW became laggy after the last update. I tried both again after upgrading to Froyo and didn't come to a different conclusion. It's too bad because I really liked ADW a lot before the last update ruined it. Sticking with launcher pro for now. Touchwiz also has lag in 2.2, similar to ADW but I have long lost faith in anything Samsung software related.

Zeam looks good but no extra widgets like in launcher pro... Can't make do without a friends stream widget. And why can't we use Samsung widgets in any of these launchers ?

Obviously because they were made by Samsung. They can't make their software compatible with their hardware so we can't expect their software to be compatible with other software

Apart from that they made it slow, nothing much is different as far as I can tell. A couple of changes to their widgets but you wouldn't care about that anyway if you hadn't shelled out the 3 bucks for the plus version.
Haha yeah. And now I've sampled and tailored zeam to my needs, I have no use for lp lol. Google should extend refund periods lol.

Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?
So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

I didnt I had 3 full pages. Also turns out even turning off touchwiz and switching back to it ruins it. Also not the appropriate place for this but isn't possible to add more homescreens to launcher pro. But thankyou for the advice.

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Sounds like a bug in Touchwiz, not Froyo.
Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.
I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.
Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.
I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

You guys sure? This is a very widely known issue and happens on both my EVO/CM7 and N1/Stock 2.3.3.
LP + Froyo with the 3D app drawer used to run at what seemed a smooth 50+ fps. Now it's around half that, definitely took a visual hit. The zooming app drawer transition also took a hit. I've tried every kernel/governor and it's the same.

This is my understanding as well, it seems we will have to wait for the developers of LP to optimize for GB. There is a HUGE performance difference between 2.2 & 2.3 w/ LP
Fine for me on latest Nightly, however, you could always just wait for the rewrite update, which should be like any week now...

Mine seems to run fairly smooth, however, I also get the crash when I boot the phone, and it seems to occasionally lag a bit, but after a while it'll fix itself and be smooth once more.
OK so just wanted to give my opinion yes Lp does run smooth on GB but it doesnt feal as smooth by when i am running adw EX. And yes i know that adw ex is already rewritten for GB. But as soon as LP rewrites for GB going straight back to LPP. I just love those widgets. BUt i sure love the fluxed icons theme for adw. Is there a way to install the flux theme to LP?
I just tried adw ex on cm7 and it felt just the same as launcher pro plus on cm7.
First let me say I'm not rooted. With that out of the way, are there any home launchers that are optimized for this tegra 2 phone? I've used ADW, Launcher pro, and Go Launcher and all 3 of them ran slightly slower than just using the stock launcher.

GO Launcher EX ran fast on my non-rooted Atrix. There are a lot of settings for GO Launcher and I just set all the transitions to the fastest settings and it ran fine. I didn't notice any lag at all. I'm rooted now and I'm still using GO Launcher EX.
In fact I'm using all their add-ons for SMS, Dialer, Weather, Score, etc and they all run pretty fast on the Atrix.

When you installed the launcher, did you remove all the widgets you had on the stock launcher? If you didn't, they'll still be there running even when you use a new launcher. Remove everything then add the new launcher and set it up the way you like. Should be a lot smoother.
Also, have you tried Zeam? It's fairly minimal but quick.

It's a strong possibility.
Since my Galaxy S, I've stopped using all running widgets.

Root, flash GladiAtrix 3, then use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. I use both. You will see a significant speed increase.

same as post above, golauncher is just as good if not better than lp plus, and its free. no brainer

The LPB kernel has funky scrolling; you'll have to adjust the way you swipe, or get used to it.
It's slow on all Samsung leaked ICS ROMS.

Have to agree with the above. I installed the stock xxlpb and I found it almost sticky like when scrolling and it was near impossible when the phone was flat on it's back. I then installed AndyX 5.2 today and it's near perfect so far.

Same here.
Using GoLauncher on 2.3.x for ages, no lag issues.
Though, IIRC it's on the S2 ICS that while TW has no lag, any other launcher will experience lag while scolling the homescreen.
No idea why, LBP didn't work at all for me, so I can't really try, I'm hoping for the next leak to come soon.
Flash the LP6 kernel to LPB to resolve the scrolling issue.

Hey all. I'm currently running SparksCo's v1.1 Stable rom (CM 7.2.0) and everything is great except the lag/stutter I experience when swiping between home screens.
After using ADW for months, I said enough is enough and I am currently using Zeam Launcher, but there still is a slight hesitation/stutter after exiting an app. Miui is buttery smooth 100% of the time and even various Sense roms seem to have consistently smoother transitions than anything i've experienced on vanilla/lightly modified CM roms.
So if anybody has any recommendations, i'm all ears (or rather, eyes). Thanks!

Not to mention that it is the only commonly used thrid-party Launcher without spyware. Moreover, since the "devs" for Go launcher and Launcher Pro simply steal all of their code from Anderwebs, if ADW has issues for you, so will these.
Stick with ADWEX and play with the settings until smooth. If you run any Go products, cyou might as well write you credit card number on Tiananmen square, because all your personal info, pictures, etc, will be sent to China.

I'm a bit of a privacy/security nut, so I took your advice on Go Launcher after reading the broken English on their market page. I'll give ADW EX a try, but for a paid app it'll have to be perfect.
