I rooted and applied the 1200 voodoo kernel to the fascinate. I have noticed that managing applications is quite laggy and slooooow. What i mean, using launcher pro to setup shortcuts for the dock, it takes forever to load the applications to choose from ... happens on nearly every app that manages or has to deal with applications/shortcuts ... like folder organizer and desktop visualizer ... I also believe I noticed the lag when performing these functions before applying the voodoo rom. Has anyone else experienced this?
I've noticed the same issue on all launchers I've tried except the stock touchwiz launcher.

Are you saying the problem goes away after using the touchwiz launcher?

I only use launcher pro now , I never noticed the lag when I was using the stock tw launcher.

Is anyone else having the issue of the FR007 being slow and laggy? When I scroll through all my apps, there is a huge lag. And the sliding of the home screens have some lag in it too. Is it just my aria or something that I did wrong while rooting/flashing? If there's a way to fix this, please tell. I really like FR007, but am thinking about switching back to R012. Thanks in advance.

Simply put, even with the stock kernel, no.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the new rom
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Yeah. I did a nandroid backup and then wipe data. And then flashed.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
No lags here. May some service or app working in background?
their is some noticeable lag, the stock rom from att is deff faster but isn't nearly as clean ;(
OP, I had the same problem, ended up going back to R012. I was sad.
I was using CM6.1 rc2 until my apps started closing (dolphin browser hd, Rom gripper, etc.) Then I switched to liberated fr007 and haven't had one issue. The only thing that ever gave me a lag was overclocking widget, live wallpaper, and using an alternative home screen (ADW. Launcher, Home++)

Yeah it lags for me. Especially if I use Pandora radio

Try this.
Go to market and get Overclocking Widget.
Put the widget anywhere on your homescreen.
Tap it, grant it SU permissions, you will probably have to tap it again for it to display.
Now on the 2nd slider that says Maximum set it all the way to the right.
Uninstall the widget, whichever method you prefer and the lag problem will probably go away.
* uninstalling the widget makes it where it won't automatically slow your phone down when it hasn't been in use for a while, which means you have to mess with the slider every time you unlock your phone.
** this may also have a negative impact on your battery, but if your like me and charge your phone every night it shouldn't be a problem.

You shouldn't be using an overclocking widget or setcpu with the stock fr rom- it will result in more lag and unpleasantness than you started with. The stock kernel simply doesn't support over or underclocking.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
It doesn't support OVER clocking or UNDER clocking, but setting the processor works just fine--there is no issues, that's what saved my battery life actually & the phone runs great.
There is no need to set the processor with a third party app if you are using the stock kernel. Hell, even cm6.1 defaults to 600 making setCPU optional. I saw on the other thread that you think developers too often blame apps for malfunctions but I think you will find that devs and contributors are just as sick of newbies spreading misinformation and not listening to sound advice and attributing their own folly to wrongly defamed software. If I were anyone reading this thread I would encourage you to be wiser than I and let this, and other new troll threads die before they begin.

until we get a decent kernal that supports OC, you're just messing things.
I just end up running slower and stuttering in many apps.
So.. I find that I really like ADWlauncher EX.. would it benefit me to disable touchwiz move adw to a system folder?

Will doing so regain system resources? Yes. Will doing so break the built in Facebook syncing? Also yes.

I find that using Home Switcher and making the "other" launcher the default is more then enough for me to forget about touchwiz! I use to use the quickdesk as the default but never used it so I got rid of it. Now I just have launcherpro plus as the default and am more then happy with it!
.. How about launcher pro.. Any bad effects with that? .. And will it save battery life? Run quicker? With tw disabled?

You can really see a difference in loading time for your widget/application list when adding a widget to your home screens.
Anybody else using it? I really dig it....lets me have access to a massive amount t of organized stuff from a single homescreen....

Thanks for the recommendation. I was using ADW Launcher for a while and then switched to Go Launcher and really like that one. I've never heard of Circle Launcher so I'll check it out.
I found it to be a little laggy too, and was looking for an alternative. Checked out the simi folder mentioned above and I like it a lot.
not a fan of circle launcher.
I dislike how the app is called "Circle Launcher" when it isn't actually a launcher. It basically just makes fancy folders (only using the resources of a widget), which for me, seems unnecessary.

Agreed....I use launcher pro plus, and the scrollable dock station allows me to accomplish the same taks...Only faster.
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.

Since dual core is so new there are no launchers or even many apps that make any use of the extra power

Unfortunately that's what I was afraid of. Has anyone had any success with a home launcher running fast and smoothly on a non rooted atrix?

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.

Or he could just freeze the stock launcher with titanium backup that works well.

Yeah, I went through all the usual proper steps. Just for kicks I just reinstalled go launcher a few hours ago. Within 1 hour it started freezing my phone causing my screen to either stutter or just go totally unresponsive. Going to go back to adw and see if it happens with that

Same here. It's the best option for Android phones.
Do you think the Fancy Widget clock widget might be a problem? I've read that it does some funky freezing to some people.

It's a strong possibility.
Since my Galaxy S, I've stopped using all running widgets.
Actually come to think of it, all my current icons are shortcuts which is probably why Launcher Pro runs as smooth as butter for me...

My LWP runs MUCH smoother after freezing all the recommended stuff I'm on GingerBlur 3.5 BTW
JUST ROOT!!
Running adw ex.. noo slow downs whatsoever
Xda app via atrix
+1 for zeam, I've been using it for months now and its very smooth. It is very minimal by comparison to most others though.... which is what I was looking for actually.
Im using go launcher and having no problems whatsoever... I also use fancy widget on my home screen.
Have also used both lpp and adw* both ran pretty good as well. I just prefer go launcher

Root, flash GladiAtrix 3, then use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. I use both. You will see a significant speed increase.
Hmmm I might bite the bullet and do that. What's the best root method for a bell canadian atrix?

Get to the french 2.1.1 sbf section and get to there... Its seriously fun
on a side note go launcher ex just got updated and there are some new app drawer animations that I like.
Sent from my Googletron
Ive used both Launcher Pro Plus and GO Launcher EX extensively, and GO Launcher EX has been the smoothest, fastest, best launcher.
I can vouch for the new update with the Icon Transition in the app drawer, its pretty slick. Good stuff here.. not sure how the GO team keeps this stuff free.
same as post above, golauncher is just as good if not better than lp plus, and its free. no brainer
I've noticed that in the leaked 2.3.4 firmwares, putting the Task Manager widget on the homescreen causes it to stutter when you're shifting through the homescreens. Never had this problem with KF3. Has anybody found a solution to this?
Nope no stutter here using KH3.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Hmmm that's weird. Wonder why I'm getting this stutter with every 2.3.4 version so far. And it's only when the widget it there, otherwise its perfect.
Im having the same problem too but not because of the task manager widget! I get stutter even with some icons and a couple of widgets!! I dont use task manager widget. BUT when i use live wallpaper then theres no stutter or lag and it becomes smooth as silk.. I have this on every 2.3.4 firmware i installed.. Now im back to stock kf3 and it rocks!!

If you have root access, then try using new touchwiz launcher from epic touch 4G. I had similar issue but now phone doesnt show even slightest of stutter.

I thought I was the only one, now I am enlightened. It only happens on my stock 2.3.4 KG7 ROM. I am on Cognition and they removed the widget it seems. Hope to see an update to the TouchWiz firmware soon!
When you mention it, yea it looks like the task manager widget for Touchwiz is making the home screens stutter a bit, hmm weird.
