Anyone know how to get rid of the glitchy app drawer in some roms

Ive noticed that on some roms, the app drawer scrolling is smooth as butter and on some it scrolls a little glitchy/notchy like its less framerates or something.. what woudl cause this on some and not on others.. this is with launcher pro plus with vertical scrolling.

3D Launcher Questions

I probably wont get any replys to this but its worth a shot i guess. Ive noticed that launcher pro and launcher pro plus (same thing) have extremely slow/laggy 3D app drawers if you enable them. I dont know about most people but i love the look of the 3D app drawer but i cant stand how laggy it is when it opens and closes. Normal scrolling through the apps after its open is blazing fast with no lag at all just when you open or close it you get this lag. Even on a clean rom flash you get this. I have an EVO 4G and have tried launcher pro on multiple other phones with the same outcome. Multiple Roms and all. Now the question is this, i just downloaded this random "Gingerbread Launcher" from the android market that is just your basic gingerbread launcher with a 3D app drawer, this thing is PERFECT not one bit of lag in it at all. I dont understand why the dev of launcher pro can not get his 3D launcher to be smooth like this one. Does anyone know anyway to fix this issue? or a way to maybe compile the 3D launcher from the gingerbread launcher and stick it in the launcherpro apk?

Haven't seen the slightest bit of lag using 3D drawer on my G2 Vision, clocked @ 1.2Ghz, but even at stock speeds (806Mhz) it's still smooth as butter... are you running a sense rom or a "vanilla" rom? If you're on a sense rom and just installed LP+ over top of rosie, that might be your issue... ??? Something is up though... shouldn't act like that on an evo...

i usually run cyanogen's latest stable rom for my phone, right now im running his latest nightlie which is cm7 (gingerbread) and i still get a little shakyness and lag. The gingerbread launcher im talking about is the one by Eugene373 in the android market, u can search for gingerbread launcher and its like 4th one down, there is a free and donate version.

also i always remove ADW launcher as well, so the only launcher that is running is launcherpro and nothing else. I have a taskkiller running and have my cpu overclocked as much as it can be so i dont know what the deal is.

One of the main reasons I went back to MIUI from CM7 is the lag on home launchers. I think it's just an issue that needs to be ironed out. Didn't matter if it was launcher pro, adw, or go. Still laggy.

i never had any lag using go launcher, i just recently moved back to LPP because of the recent update with the screen transitions and i noticed he said he recoded the whole app and so i figured things like app drawer laggyness would have been fixed. I dont understand how hard it can be, i mean if he can create an app as great as launcher pro why cant he fix the app drawer shakyness and this random dev can come out with a whole gingerbread style launcher with absolutly NO lag in it at all.
*note*
i am a donater to launcherpro so i can complain

I don't know, I'm using it on a stripped sense rom (virtuous) so I would think my rom would exhibit lag before a CM6/7 build would... it may be hardware (though unlikely) if it is a common problem on evo and not other phones? anyone else with evo experiencing this lag?

Going off topic but the LPP rewrite was not in the last update, the dev mentioned how hard it had been writing a launcher from scratch because no one else has done this (I think). The gingerbread launcher is just pulled from the SDK. I assume even the MIUI launcher is based on the android default launcher.

the lag im getting isnt HORRIBLE lag, most people would probably be ok with it, its just the fact that its slightly shaky and jump on the zoom in and out that just bugs me, i hate any lag/shakyness in my phone at all. Maybe ill try to play around with combining the two idk.

I am in the same boat as OP ... I am using VaelPak 3.1 beta 1 with launcher pro and only GOD knows how bad I hate that lag when you open the 3D drawer ... seems like it open in two steps ... I wish I could find a solution to fix this rather start using other launchers.

Gingerbread notification pull down and music app

Just put on Gingerbread yay... but...
Music app is still the same... I thought it was meant to change?
And the notifcation pull down has light grey backgrounds for the items. Looks kinda out of place, I thought they would be black.
Launcher seems a little laggy too
Is this the same experience for everyone else? Has something gone wrong with my update?

Music app doesn't change...

Same experience here. I had already been using CM7 so I wasn't surprised.
LauncherPro is super smooth on gingerbread though. Even with the live wallpaper. It didn't feel this fluid on CM7.

LauncherPro is smooth for you? It took a performance hit for me on GRI40.
On 2.2 and the AOSP 2.3 builds, the drawer open/close animation (without 3D and without a live wallpaper) was incredibly smooth, but for some reason now it's slightly choppy when opening and closing.

i had a little trouble with LP until I turned off the 3D app drawer.

i can confirm this 100%. With 2.2.1 i had completely smooth scrolling with LP, but after GB update the animations are stuttery and i also have never used the 3d drawer and don't use live wallpapers.
So this is definetly real. Hope LP will fix that soon.

I found the GB (stock) launger laggy after it first installed too.
I just did a full wipe on the phone (from within Android, including SD card) and when the phone rebooted, there was no lag.
More than likely, the phone just needed to have rebooted.

Yeah, experience the same LP choppiness on both 2.3/CM7. Has to be a LP specific issue. Impatiently waiting for the LP rewrite...

well, a full wipe is no option for me...i'm not rooted and therefore don't have a backup. And i have no time to setup everything again.

Yeah I had the same issue, made a thread over at their bugg forums

VIPERrom Anarchy Launcher = ewwww

I like the VIPERrom but anarchy launcher sucks!! is there a reason it wont let me use TouchWiz?? I mean it works but I cant go in to the settings to add/remove screens and what not... just fc's

It's probably missing part of the framework.

Are you sure you even have the anarchylauncher installed? (I only ask because it's a seperate install that you have to get from the team viper website. It's not installed with the ROM)

yea i went and got the apk off his site... i just really dont like it haha. TouchWiz is so simple and just works
*edit*
just installed launcher pro, i like that too... ill just use that

Meh.
Ive used em all extensively, and I still feel launcher pro is the best. Uses less memory, screen transitions are smooth as silk. And just the shear screen responsiveness. No other launcher have i found that I can just flick my finger the tiniest of increments and I'm flying through screens at will.
Plus their fancy transitions aren't nearly as laggy. I use rotate exclusively.

I still prefer zeam but that's just me.
Simple, very customizable, user assignable swype gestures, lots of flexibility. The dock is customizable as well FWIW..
EDIT: forgot to add that it performs well in landscape mode AND offers full screen for those (like me) that like full screen
just sayin'

agreed. Launcher Pro seems a little bit more responsive than ADW, although I don't dislike ADW, I just prefer Launcher Pro for it's performance

launcher pro update

anyone catch the latest launcher pro update? The 3D app drawer is very SMOOTH, no lag or gitters in it at all. I love the way the 3D app drawer looked but never used it on my EVO because of the gittery/lag it would have as i like my phone to be quick and snappy. He totally fixed that issue tho its perfect now! Plus he redid everything to work with gingerbread. flying bananas!
