Hi all, i experience lag when scrolling in any launcher (only except stock launcher TW4) in stock ROM or any stock based ROM. I dont see it in CM9 or AOSP based ROM.
Anyone know how to fix ? Thanks !

Same here, same everywhere. On CM9 everything run smooth. Thus its a software issue from Sammy's stock
Had the same issue. turned off system power saving and it is smooth again
I have never used power saving mode!

Maybe the launcher you use is like a memory hog.

I have tried apex, nova, go, spb 3d, tsf shell and many more. They all lag, only TW4 works fine, but i dont like TW4
This is quite a true problem, nothing to do with Power Saving mode or anything else. Launchers are laggy in the Note. The only non-stock launcher experience can be had with official CM9 as far as I've flashed (and some small exceptions here and there, by luck...)

Can someone work on a simple basic Android ROM that is not resource hungry, something like the Openfire Rom, with JIT enabled, but, the only problem with that ROM is the camera quality! So can anyone work around that problem?
Just looking for a Senseless Froyo Rom in its most basic form, but with a decent camera!
HewgBalls` Hybrid ROM, CM7
Hybrid is what iam running right now! And i really was dissapointed by CM7, i was on RC1 for a day, wasnt at all satisfied! iam looking for a more simpler ROM, i dont know if what iam saying makes sense! Something like the Vanilla Android, but with a proper functioning camera! In other words, Openfire with Camera!
Just get some 3rd party Camera app in that case. As you probably have seen yourself, development on Openfire is now frozen / on hold
will that 3rd party camera app help in imroving the quality of the camera?

no it won't.
what was wrong with cm7? Maybe you had problems because of the default v4.2 overclock kernel. Most ppl flashed v4.1 and their problems were solved.
The minute i flashed CM7 i flashed the 4.1 Kernel!
Well first of all, the CRT animation stopped working, and there was no 3D effect in the app menu, basicly the two most prominent features of gingerbread, so yea, i decided to resort back to 2.2, and tried Openfire, ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT!! But then tried the camera, and then decided to resort to the Hybrid Rom, which i beleive is amazing as well!

The 3D effect isn't there because CM uses ADW instead of the stock android launcher. If you want the 3d thing get ADW ex, its great.
The CRT animation works for me if i enable and run a2sd cachesd reset.

Can you tell me how to replace ADW with ADW ex? or atleast resort back to the stock launcher?
oh and how to do that a2sd cachesd reset thing?
really need help!
Alright so can anyone help me with the CRT animation problrm on CM7?
It is said that wiping the dalvik cache restores it. This can be found in the Recovery Menu under the Advanced Tab. Not tested personally by me though, since, I can live without it.
BTW, I was under the impression you wanted a simple, fast, non resource hungry ROM, so why is the animation so important to you?
hahaha! Camera was an essential for me, and CM7 seemed pretty unstable with ADW, so i tried it with ADW EX, and its workinf like a charm! No issues so far! And ill try clearing the cache, but ive done it before and it didnt work! :/
Which rom is similar to Openfire?
I've just notice the camera problem..
CM7 is too much raw, and slow for me.. the keyboard it's to small compared to that of Openfire (do you know what is?)

It is designed like that, however, the later versions have the "bigger" keyboard. For an alternative to Openfire, you can look at CM6, but, video recording doesn't work on that.
So cant anyone work on a Vanilla android for the wildfire, with the camera?

i've already used CM6 and 7..
now i'm on the hybrid one and seems good
I've tried the HTC Hybrid V6 but i didn't find the way to disable 3G connections (perhaps its my problem...)
Now I'm testing Leaf r3, very simple, with 162MB free after the flash, so I can download only the application I really use.
The only "problem" found with the Leaf r3 is that i should insert the Apn parameters manually...
Can anybody try this and check if it is making the home screen lag?
I have tried using it on Launcher pro Plus /ADW EX /Stock Gingerbread Launcher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975413
Also please mention what ROM/Launcher/kernel you are using.
So far no problems. Running it at 45fps using GingerMex FAST 1.0.1 (with Flippy's kernel) and Go Launcher EX.
Hmmm...ok let me try it on a similar Setup. From the looks of it. I think it is a CM7 related 2D driver issue.
Thanks a ton for he feedback.
Now if anyone would be kind enough to try it out on a Stock HTC Desire Z ROM / CM7 with Stock Kernel / CM6 / VIrtuos.
I wanna figure out if its just me who is facing issues. Have already tried CM7 with stock kernel and Virtuos.
What's the problem you're having with it? Bad lag?

Exactly... lag between homescreen transitions. Are you experiencing the same?
The wallpaper itself seems to be slow, i haven't noticed any massive lag or screen issues though...
overall a lil bit slow on cm7, but the main problem is the bad looking of your graphics.
Yeap...its very slow on my opinion. Not the wallpaper itself but i makes the Homescreen go slow..dont know how else to out this.
The latest version is just amazing. Fixes almost every issue.
Check it out guys.
There's a constant struggle in my mind. I have tried several CM7 builds, but all of it had problems with the GUI smoothness. I just could not reach that iPhone-like smooth operation like the stock ROM or MS2Ginger, not even with V6 SuperCharger and Nitro Lag Nullifier. Various scrolling cache settings and build.prop tweaks also did not help like playing with debug.performance.tuning, video.accelerate.hw, debug.sf.hw. But MS2Ginger has several problems CM don't: SD card corruption (can't be fixed with mmcfix, tried), random FCs. So I just can't decide which is better for me: choppy GUI with no SD problems or ultrasmooth GUI with rage sometimes. It would be good to combine smoothness with SD card fix.
I'm not quite familiar with Android development yet, but I would like to know what modules/drivers/binaries etc. are responsible for this GUI smoothness/choppyness, and is there a way to port these things from stock ROM into CM.
Are you using ADWLauncher (which is the stock one in cm7)?
Try to use another launcher such as launcherpro, go launcher or adw launcher ex (not free).
I don't know why, but adw is very choppy indeed... it works well on lg p350 (cheap android device) of a friend of mine though.

How do you do actual development inside a forum post? That doesn't even seem possible.
But anyways yeah, I installed CM7 a few days ago and had the exact same issue as the OP—replacing ADWLauncher with Launcher Pro solved it.

Launcher Pro is choppy too. My first task after installing CM is always to replace ADW with Launcher Pro, but LP is still smoother on stock/MS2Ginger than on CM7.
So any tips? It's not a launcher problem, but an overall system symptom. Anyone experienced it?
i'm using adw lancher ex on cm7.2 with supercharged and it's really smooth.. like you said, iphone-like!

Do you have Defy+? What is your kernel version? What is your base SBF? What values are set in bootmenu/overclock?
Lots of performance and specially battery tweaks done in CM ROMs at the cost of better graphics. That's the case with every other brand mobile too. They all look graphically smoother on stock but a bit dull on CM.
It's hard to quantify "choppy" and "smooth," and different people will have different interpretations of the terms. Maybe a comparison video would clear things up.
Can some choppyness come from deodexing a rom? I read somewhere that odexed roms (like stock ones) are faster, but I can't remember in which way faster... maybe just booting up faster?!

As you can read in the end of the post, odexed rom is snappier in general!!
I'd want to try an odexed CM7.2
That would be fast as he'll :-D

How reputable is this poster? FWIR, deodexing only affects boot times, and only after a Dalvik cache wipe—there shouldn't be any performance impact besides that.
in my case, i have a defy+ with adw ex, old v6 (update8) is very smooth. launcherpro is too. stock launcher is sucks, so i dont use it. but other launchers works fine for me.
Hi all. As you might have heard the official Samsung ICS update for our beautiful Note has started rolling out in Europe today. I'm just wondering whether people will be using it or whether they are happy with their custom ICS roms. What are the pros and cons of each?
I'm still on imilka's Cm9 v2, as it works flawlessly on my Note. But I should update soon and want to know what people more experienced than me think (I've only been playing around with flashing for a couple of months)
Thanks

I m going with Official ICS as I feel that our phone is incomplete without Touchwiz apps like S-Pen, S-memo, etc.
The day I will lose my Stylus, I will jump straight away to CM9. LOL.
CM9 is purely for better performance whereas Samsung ICS is for better user-experience.
I stay with TouchWiz Apps but other Launcher.
I think Nova Launcher is the best Launcher, those Folders and Docks are awesome !
Cyanogen definitely as I don't want this crappy Touchwizz on my Note.

change the launcher then, there are alternatives out there
TW-Launcher on ICS is smooooooooth as hell but i would miss the custom docks, custom icons and those great folders from Nova Launcher !
Cyanogenmod.
I don't think I will be writing formulas on a phone..........

CM9 is great, but I also do not wanna miss the Stylus-Apps now even better with Premium Suite...
Official ICS.
I tried a few AOSP roms, but can't live without proper stylus support. I've gotten too used to it.

Why should I have a heavier ROM with useless things when I can have a light ROM smooth and fast and everything I need
How much of a performance difference is there between official ICS with 3rd party launcher and a custom rom? Would you feel this in everyday use?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
I'm sure even without Touchwiz, there will be awesome developers porting Samsung apps over in future. Currently, you can choose both of them to your preference. If you usually take notes and enjoying Sammy's apps then by all means use the stock ICS ROM.
After using imilkas ICS/CM9 and then going back to GB I realised how much lag there was on the note and stock roms... so I guess my question would be...is it as seamless, performance wise, as CM9? (In terms of basic features and performance like swioing between pages and launching apps and transitions ?)

I'm on CM9 but would like to try the Stock ICS, but that's more because of a compulsive flashing disease I must have. Well in fact I would like to have FM radio app, so that's my excuse for flashing the official ROM. I can always install another launcher like nova and still use Samsung apps anyway ? I mean touchwizz is not just a launcher right, it's a whole framework that's "there" even if i use another launcher ?

Thanks for the answer. As I read TW won't work well in tablet mode, I guess even if i use a apex launcher for example, I won't be able to get a working tablet mode with official ICS + apex launcher ?
I think I'll give the official ICS a try before giving my final judgement .
Anybody knows if the euro ics ROMs support RTL (I.e Arabic text)?

Under GB I tried stock ROM and custom ROMs, the difference between these two kind of ROMs was noticeable.
And I like things clean, so I don't want useles things on my phone.
All ROMs I use are also cleaned by myself using System Tuner Pro and removing all applications I don't use (like Email for example, I only use Gmail, wallpapers, animated wallpapers etc.)
And AFAIK with stock ROM I cannot remove Samsung's crap so CM9 is my best friend.
With OpenDESIGN coming in the next few hours, you'll never say that you miss S-Memo and pen gestures anymore
I've come straight from CM9 and despite the annoyance of Samsung's bloatware I feel that ICS is a lot smoother on the official ROM. The only thing I would like to know is if there is a way to get the stock ICS keyboard. The ones in the Play Store seem to been twatted about with and don't seem to offer the proper ICS autocorrect infrastructure unless I'm mistaken.
I made the observation that custom ROMs for this phone (I have only tested CM, SlimBean unofficial and Mokee) seem to be laggy while using with the same or even less installed applications compared to my Nexus 4.
The stock ROM runs very fluid. The kernel from Wootever makes no big difference.
Anyone else experiencing this and/or know a reason for it?
Thanks

What is your definition of laggy? Why would number of installed apps matter? What is your CPU frequency at and governer? Launcher used? Widgets used?
Laggy means that I can see how the launcher has to redraw or Firefox has to reload and stuttering.
Default kernel settings or Nexus 5 recommended settings, No difference.
Nova Launcher beta. Many widgets (five screens)
