Weird... it runs amazingly well for me. Better than ADW, in fact.

Same here.....zero issues with LPP

Yep been using launcher pro plus and I have no lag.

Like all the others...no lag on teh roxxorz's end.

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.

Dunno...it seems fine to me.

Works fine on my cm7 bit I mainly used adwex

You guys haven't gone back to a froyo rom yet. Check lpp on froyo compared to 2.3 and let me know what you think

Yep LP + CM7 suck. CM7 Open source...LP closed source platform, Team win win does not like to play with anything closed source... least thats what I was told months ago. I found a way to make ADW ex match my LP set up ... only thing missing is widgets.
I hope LP re write fixes this

LPP runs better IMHO on any rom other than CM7. I've ran Mikfroyo, fresh, warm

I only have one issue with LP on CM7. Whenever I reboot, it lags big time and then LP force closes. After the FC it starts right back up and then it runs flawlessly.

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.

Interesting Question regarding Launcher Pro and Stock Launcher

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.

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 did a factory reset today. reinstalled everything and LP seems to work way better

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.

[Q] CM7 Launcher pro & scrolling

Is there a way to make the launcher pro scrolling speed as smooth as CM6.1? I had a wonderful smooth as water scrolling between homescreens and in the app drawer, now it runs worse than htc sense.... anyone other noticing this issue?
Hey there im running CM7.0 #17 and I got no problems here running launcher pro. Maybey u should reflash the rom and then see if it's smooth?

I had the same problem with CM7. There are a number of people reporting weaker performance with LP on CM7. The developer has been working on an update so hopefully it'll solve the problems but there's no eta.
I switched to ADWex for now. When LP's fixed, I'll switch back for the widgets.
EDIT: The LP developer (Fede) just posted the following: I've just finished fixing the 3D drawer for Gingerbread, it will be included in next update. Also added a fix for the graphic performance under Gingerbread. Hopefully this means will see the update soon!

For me the app drawer is super smooth, at least as smooth as in CM6.1. Normally my Legend is OC'ed @825MHz but even @600 its not doing such a bad job (running build 13). I do not use the 3D drawer but I'm guessing none of you are.

Mine is running at 806MHz. I'm not saying that it makes 2 frames per second, but on CM6.1 launcher pro was EXTREMELY smooth (like >45fps) even at 600MHz. Now it runs just acceptable for my taste only when overclocked, something between 25 and 30fps I think. Not enough reactive for my liking...
(oh, in the case that now someone tells that TV has such a 'low' framerate and we all think that TV programs are smooth, the legend does not have motion blur )

CM6 Final vs CM7 RC4

I have been on the cm7 RC for about a month now. However its really not running optimally. I getting tired of the naggs. So I nandroid restored to my backup to cm6. Man what a difference. It's so much smoother. I know cm7 is not complete yet but froyo is still runs very well. Any of you guys feel the samek? Who is still rocking froyo?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Nope. Not here. Still on rc2 and I'd say its stable enough. I didn't think cyanogen would even go this far on rc.
Edit: I've found one unstable thing on my n1. The sense preview lags and choppy.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yes froyo is miles smoother than cm7 and ginger bread stock. Scrolling apps, lists, webpages, everything is by far smoother on froyo. Makes a tough decision which ROM I want to run:-(
Cm7 rc4 has been as smooth as any 2.2 rom I've tried...now only if battery life was better than 10 hours I'd say it was perfect.

Seriously, I have stayed of CM7 for now, since they haven't resolved the call wonkiness issue. I'll wait for CM7 final, or even 7.1. 6.1 is rock solid and by far the best ROM I have used in a loooong time. NO gingerbread for me yet. Stability first.

i find cm7 RC4 to be extremely good on battery. i can go 12 hours and still be at 60% rather easily. but i just find RC4 laggy and choppy. try loading a tapatalk thread with 30 posts, and scroll that sucker. now try it on froyo, its like a totally different phone, one's smooth, one's chunky as hell.
Battery life sux. But loading huge threads and fora is not a problem at all for me. Everything is snappy and awesome.

People face choppy scrolling because they don't wipe properly when coming to a new rom. Its a know fact that when you switch a rom, you've to wipe atleast 3 times before flashing the new .zip.
This is simply because, 80% of the first wipe doesn't wipe at all. ( both Amon_RA and CWR)
Always wipe 3-4 times and you'll never face the choppiness issue on any CM Roms.

Got tired of plain Android and CM7 wonks and other CM7/GB bugs, and tried Sense-based Froyo. What a difference. Going to stay there until (hopefully) a fully functional Sense GB port will be out.
What's the most stable Sense UI ROM?
eViL's NXSense 1.26. It's the only fully functional Sense ROM, unfortunately.
If you don't mind not having native hotspot capabilities - you can also install Desire HD ports (MM SuperHybrid 1.7 and eViL's 1.1beta).

i use launcher pro exclusively for the last 10 months or so...paid version. it is smoother for sure. but my scroll issues are ont necessarily home screen related. load any tapatalk thread, and it scrolls in chunks. handcent text items in a long list scrolls in chunks.
another bug in cm7, if you have battery text shown in the status bar, once you plug in to charge, after 20 minutes the homescreens become super laggy and skip. this continues until charge is complete, or you unplug. or if you turn off the percent text, scroll returns to normal smooth. i looked at the source code, and this new implementation is different than cm6 battery percent text version. seems using broadcast receivers, etc, or possibly the animation speed, is causing this issue.
i may edit the source to turn off batt percent when plugged in, since that's how cm6 functioned, and see if that fixes it. but i've been lazy pulling down the source.

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.
I'm using it on andyX 5.2 and is very smooth. Rarely some slight cogging.

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.

[Q] Laggy ICS HD2

Hey XDA!,
I have tried a couple of NAND ICS roms on my HD2. The nexus HD2 by tytung and icecreamtosti. Plus i think i tried one with dorimanx kernel. Anyways, all the roms seem to lag on my fone. They work fine but as compared to the gingerbread roms, they are not smooth or as fast. They seem to be a bit slow. I flashed the correct partition sizes and later even partitions that were 10 or 15mb greater than required to allow for bad NAND blocks.
Anything else i can do to make these roms equally as smooth as the gingerbread roms or do i have to wait for furthur develpment?
Thanks,
Adil

The launchers are for some reason laggy. Try GO Launcher, Launcher Pro or ADW (any launcher not based on ICS basically) and they're buttery smooth (much faster than GB). I've found messaging, contacts, dialer and browser to me much faster than CM7 and pretty much the only app I would consider to be slow is the Music app. The phone also lags hugely whilst playing music.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have Nova and Apex also installed (as well as Trebuchet) and I keep hoping that in the next update I see the launcher won't lag, but sadly it always does. Still, GO Launcher is actually the most functional launcher I've found, even if it eats a fair amount of RAM.

As I said, I've tried most of the 3rd party ICS launchers. None of them are actually as smooth as GO Launcher (or even smooth at all)

I used that theme on CM7 but it really doesn't give a full ICS interface without the 'card stack' transitions, and really that's all I wanted. The app drawer is really very good on ICS, but unfortunately none of the non-ICS launchers seem to be able to mimick that. I personally prefer the GO Launcher symbols on the dock though, seem more polished for some reason
