After a fresh ROM install the full screen animations were fine, no lag or anything, now that I've been using this rom a few weeks, whenever I go to the home screen, it takes a few seconds before I can press anything because of them.. any way to turn them off? I've looked through all the logical areas, no luck.
Btw, mt4g rom, not desireZ, so a little diff than just regular sense

mods, feel free to close, i figured it out.
If anyone needs to know the answer, just delete the clock widget, and try to add it again, and it gives you the option.

On Froyo whenever I use an app for a bit like the browser then retun to the home screen, it doesn't show any icons and appears frozen for a few seconds untill I shows them again about 5 seconds later. Is anyone else expierencing this issue?
Yes, happens to me sometimes too, kinda annoying.
I can get it to happen every time i send a text with the keyboard then while the text is sending, pressing the home button will yield a blank launcher for 3-4 seconds.
Its happened to me occasionaly. I just pressed the home button and they reappeared. Also, sometimes my Samsung widgets disappear and i have to readd them

Happens to me also. This also happens when you pull out the keyboard, it takes a few seconds for all the icons to show up on the landscaped screen.
Stuff like this makes me wonder if this isn't actually a finalized release of Froyo...
I agree. With all there bugs it makes.you a bit weary about whether or not this is official.
If it is, there better be an udate soon

Does the same for me. I don't have many of the problems everyone else is having, but I hope this isn't the official release.

Guys, did you flash froyo using clockwork? I just flashed froyo onto my sisters epic using the .tar and odin. Hers isn't having these beta issues my phone is having
I think this is due to the Epic 4g getting a Touchwiz update (3.0 now, I think) with the Froyo update. Originally, the new Touchwiz wasn't included because it didn't have a landscape mode. Now, it's got a slow landscape mode. I think it's the phone trying to recache the home screen or something.
Perhaps someone can figure out how to lock Touchwiz into portrait mode or something
I also have had the blank home screen... That and the horrible lag switching from portrait to landscape (when it switches) and the apparent lack of landscape unless the keyboard is extended or I'm in the "settings" menu are the only problems I've seen so far.
I use launcher pro... no home screen lag at all
Getting this same problem with Froyo, incredibly annoying. Any fix?
well, one of the fixes is to go with a different launcher, like launcher pro, as said in a post above
Can I remove the Touch Wiz Launcher and use launcher pro instead? Will anything stop functioning if I remove TWLauncher?
So I've been switching ROM's a lot now that we have lots of ROM's to choose from.
My phone seems to be backing up all my apps and all from each ROM I use then installs them while I'm setting up the new ROM. Kind of nice, but sometimes it installs two of the same apps. ie Terminal Emulator.
I have this lingering weather thing going on each time I come out of the lock screen. It's just annoying that it happens with every ROM I flash and it's still there every time. Sun in the right corner then some clouds. It's seriously zero degrees outside I hardly feel like I'm on an island drinking pina coladas.
Any fix to make it stop? I'm enjoying the gloom!
edit: I figured it out it wasn't Beautiful Widgets it was Weather Widget Addon App. changed settings and all is right in the world.
uninstall tewrminal emulator, its included as a system app in most roms. Installit if its missing after a flash.
Do you use beautiful widgets? Theres a setting to turn off the weather animation when you unlock the phone.
Yes I have beautiful Widgets. I checked the settings. Not using any of them right now.

When I slide out the keyboard at the home screen after having installed the Froyo release (didn't reflash - just straight install, most of it has been wonderful), it takes about 20 seconds for the icons to reappear. In the meantime, TW seems to have crashed. If I tap the apps icon, it noodles around for about 10 seconds before display the apps.
When I close the keyboard, same mess. If I continuously open and close the slider, it gets much faster, but is anyone else experiencing this? I cleared TW storage, and while it sped up almost instantly, as soon as I added my icons back (almost no widgets), it's back to crazy slowness.
This did NOT happen with DI28 and earlier. I'm running EB13 stock, non-root.
try doing the horizontal screen calibration tool under display settings, but with your phone upside down instead. Just hang the bottom part slightly off the edge of a table and tap calibrate with the screen facing down. It might help

I tried that earlier today - no help.
No lag at all for me. I used the exe. You have any widgets that might be causing the problem. Mine is instant.

Anyone have any fixes? It's dramaticaly slowed down my use of the phone. TW literally crashes every time I pull out the keyboard. I have to open an app first before I switch, and homescree google searches are now pointless.

DING DING DING. I think you got it. In my case it seems to be the weatherbug widget. When I delete the widget, the icons reappear almost instantly.

First of all, it doesnt matter. Second of all, TW is alot nicer after update
Sent from my never been rooted, stock Froyo Epic.
Wiped with the EXE. Worked fine for a while, but after adding 8 icons (no widgets), it does the same thing again. I don't think I've installed anything that runs with background services, so I have no idea what the problem is... no problems when I use ADW, but I'd rather not hog an extra 26MB of RAM...
I'm afraid I jumped the gun on declaring mine cured. When first rotating after closing an app, the delay is still there, but then subsequent rotations are immediate . . . until I run the next app. It is faster without the widget, but not cured.
Download terminal emulator from the market. Search the forums for Epic screen lag rotation and you will find an easy fix for your screen lag issues.

@Mike, I have no accelerometer-based rotation lag. Accelerometer-based switching is instantaneous. Only when I pull out the keyboard does TW take forever. Can you please confirm which problem the fix addresses? Thanks.
Folks, I posted a poll. I want to see how bad this problem is. For the record, I have the Google Search widget, and 16 icons (3 of them folders) on my main screen. 2 other icons on side screens, no widgets.
That worked for me!
Minor update: I removed EVERY icon on my screen, and it's now switching instantly. It doesn't seem to like folders at all. I'm slowly adding icons to see where the tipping point is... I had about 20 icons in one folder, perhaps it didn't like that. Annoying, because TW 2.5 worked perfectly in that regard.
Even more updates: Touchwiz *hates* the Angry Birds icons. It's causing a nightmare of a switching delay as soon as I add the icons. Should I just switch to ADW or LauncherPro? Any particular pros/cons to each one?
i get a lag when i go to landscape when im texting
the upside down trick worked for me

Hi,
I've been with WinMo since 2001 until about a week ago when I switched to andriod. I have many questions and was unsure where to turn to. I will try here. If there is a better place, please let me know.
I have a Desire Z that I got with ATT 3G bands. I have successfully rooted the device, overclocked it, and installed Cyanogen 6.
1) When I hit the power button, I still have to swipe my finger across the screen to unlock. How do I make it so I don't have to do this?
2) I had some difficulty upgrading to Cyanogen 6 and was unable to get 7 to work. IfI want to mess around further with roms, is there some way I can backup EVERYTHING so if I screw up, I can make my phone exactly the way I have it now without a whole lot of work re-installing stuff, etc.?
3) The link to the phone, app, and browser are all stuck on the bottom of the phone. Can I get rid of this?
4) When laying apps out on the home screen, there seems to be some kind of grid that they are locked into that makes it hard to move them exactly where I want them. It will let me lay them so they overlap each other, but not very close to each other. Is there some way to overcome this?
5) I can't seem to arrange apps close to the top of the screen because the garbage can overlay slides down and when I move the app near the top it thinks I am trying to throw it away.
6) Is there an app that will show both the current weather and an icon for the weather conditions in the status bar?
Wow, a lot of questions...
1, Go to Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Input Settings and select Trackball wake/Trackball Unlock or Menu Unlock and after that you will be able to select Disable Unlock Slider
2, Try Titanium Backup (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup)
3, As far as I know CM6 uses ADW.Launcher as default launcher. You can change it to LauncherPro (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher) which is fully customisable
4, There is a grid which can't be changed
5, LauncherPro has the trash icon at the bottom
6, Sorry, I didn't find any

Hello Everyone.
I went and found some of these answers on my own. I also was able to upgrade to CM7.
1) I found an app for it but will try PsHeger's solution.
2) I found that the bootloader/Rom manager do a good job of this, too.
3) I was able to remove it in the app launcher rather than using pro.
4) This absolutely pisses me off. I have a Winmo 6.5 phone that lets me have a nice, organized home screen. I can't believe there isn't a better solution to this. Good lord.
6) Go Weather App does this.
if you set your grid settings to 10x10 rows and columns in launcher pro, you can put the icons and widgets pretty much anywhere.

You can try this, but you will need to buy a pro key for laincherpro to strech the widgets or they will look really stuid

Well I use go launcher and I have the option to turn off the names under them, so is it possible you've click on a similar setting in adw?

Depends what cyanogenmod you have. If you have 7.1.0.1 then hold the down the power button and select screen shot. If not then you'll need a screen shot app

Ohh thank you so much. You guys are wonderful. I did something and now the icons are showing in full.
Is it possible to have live animated wallpapers as background on home screen ?
if yes, will that slow the entire phones operation.
The reason i'm asking is this
I tried overclocking and after reboot the phone was working ok,but i don't notice any faster than before.

Well when you overclocked did you select the "Set at boot" checkbox because else when you reboot the phone slows back to default speeds. Also, to enable live wallpapers long-touch a blank space in the home screen and touch "wallpapers">"live wallpapers" to select one. The default "nexus" one works fine with little lag for me on the overclock settings shown in my signature
Thank you so much Matt.
The overclocking is now working good,yes i didn't ticked the CPU set at boot. ON live wallpaper-- when i click live wallpaper all i see is google maps. and nothing else on the list.
I guess i have to get a seperate live wall paper.
Do i need to reboot my phone to make the CPU overclock settings to be implemented ?.
Thanks once again.
