Hi all
I've upgraded to every version of 2.3.4 (leaked of course). But somehow my TW4 launcher homescreen pages stutter, more so when scrolling left to right. I don't know whether any of you have come across something like this coz I couldn't find such a problem in the ROM threads.
Well I could only think of one solution for this. Replace TW4 2.3.4 with 2.3.3. I don't know if it would work but that's my best bet.
In order for me to try this out can someone please upload the file with it's odex counterpart. I'm afraid I don't have it. Looked everywhere but couldn't find it.
Probably my last option would be to flash back to a 2.3.3 rom and get it from there. I hope you all would help me out before that.
Cheers

I had the same problem, the samsung task manger widget was the cause of the problem. Once removed it was super smooth....

Hmm will try. But i use the bloody thing so often.
Edit: Looks like you were right mate. I would like to test more though. Did you happen to come across a solution?

Unfortunately not my friend... I have learnt to press and hold the menu button, gaining access to the task manager that way.

Well thanks for your help mate. Still, if someone could share the old TW4 from 2.3.3 roms, I would like to give it a go. Never had such problems back then.

Download a custom 2.3.3 rom with TW4 and extract it .
Or search the dev threads where the old/removed apps are posted .
Might even be in Themes section .

The problem with custom ROMS is that they are all deodexed. Since I'm using stock kg6, I don't think they're gonna work.
Maybe I'll try searching again when on my computer.

I have a stutter on my menus, but not all the time.when it starts it makes the phone pretty bad to use.
Was thinking of upgrading from kf3 to kg6 to see if that helped. Factory reset didn't.
Maybe this task manager widget is causing my problems to too. But does your stutter happen only on home screen. When mine happens it affects everywhere.
Thanks

Sorry that's all I have. I have a E3D and ripped it from iceandfire nightly, saw this thread and decided to help out a bit.

I had been wondering what was causing the problems, I could never figure it out cause I didn't think that would've been the problem
Hopefully someone figures it out cause I use it all the time

I tried this customizable tw launcher before, probably an earlier version, but it just gave me constant crashes and freezes. The program monitor widget doesn't work on it. Needs a modified version of it.
Thanks for the help though.

is there any way to install a zip file to achieve this mod? The ones i read seem to have restricted to a certain firmware.
Someone please guide us.. I'm also looking for this kind of MOD. Thanks!

I created a desktop shortcut to a reboot script which trigger a fast reboot. I know that is not exactly what you want but in case you just need a convenient reboot function, that could be a useful workaround.
Quick Boot on the Market does a pretty good job also. And free.
No love for root users? Damn we need ics fast!!!!
Thanks for the headsup guys.
Thanks, btw. Yeah, I need the Power Menu MOD, i think this is okay for the time being, since I won't get help on this situation, nobody gonna build or develop the power menu MOD for me. Thanks.

Looking good. I just did exactly that.
Here's some new code that will give you all of the tweaks and goodies found in the best roms but without having to flash a rom. These work on the SGN10.1. This is not my work, just passing it along. If you break your rig that's on you.

READ THIS! >> To use this you will need Busybox (just download and install from the Market) and INIT.D support (how to get that posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883125). I'm not kidding. This WILL NOT WORK without these.
Faster internet browsing
Longer battery life
Improved multitasking
Better JPG image quality
Higher quality recording from the camera
Faster scrolling
More responsive touch controls
Extra themes
** I have noticed that trying to implement the AdBlocker Tweak causes the installation to hang for me. I would avoid that. YMMV.
** PLEASE DIRECT ALL INSTALLATION AND FUNCTIONALITY QUESTIONS TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR'S THREAD. I DID NOT WRITE THIS JUST PASSING ALONG THE WORD.
** I KNOW THE AUTHORS ARTICLE INSTRUCTS YOU TO EMBED THIS IN YOUR CUSTOM ROM BUT I FOUND THAT YOU CAN JUST FLASH IT IN RECOVERY AS LONG AS YOU HAVE INIT.D AND IT WORKS JUST FINE.
Has anyone tried these? They are actually quite awesome.
I want to try it but would it work for a stock rom?

Yes that's the point. It gives you all the features of a custom rom without flashing a rom.

Yeah I ended up trying it and it definitely makes the battery drain even slower and the wifi speed is faster!! Everyone should try this ASAP there's soooo many tweaks and it managed to make this tab faster....I honestly don't think jb will improve that much especially using these tweaks!

I just Flash it few minutes ago. Definitely tweaks the system. I can feel it. I just don't try all the tweaks. Hulu Is not working for me. Crash the launcher.

One thing I notice is that I can now play HD YouTube videos without buffering issues. Also web browsing seems very quick.
Anyway not sure how all the tweaks will work with our bit if kit here so I just went with the ones I recognized.

Guys I'm not an expert on this code. If you read the author's OP and followup you know as much about how this works as I do.

I must not have selected that option somehow. I have been getting a lot of buffering issues watching HD youtube videos since flashing this. I will try again to see if that will fix it.

Yeah, it doesn't work. It's just like Blocking Mode when the S3 was originally released. You could find it and turn it on in a similar way, but it didn't actually do anything when turned on (even though the icon was displayed in the task bar just like it is for this).

Yup the GN2 was the same way. It required extensive code to get it working right due to the integration with TouchWiz. I am hoping this might be quite a bit simpler.
I am going to compare the t-mobile code and the vzw code to see the differences.
CSC Features are cool because you can enable little features that are for whatever reason turned off by Samsung. Here are some that I have found across the internet.
A.) PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS!! Either make a backup in recovery, or make a backup of your feature.xml by copying the original/unedited to your SD Card.
B.) Download a root browser and grant it root permission.
C.) Go to system/csc/feature.xml
D.) Find the lines that you wanna change, and change it to what I have underlined/bolded. OR some are not in there and you can just add those lines right in (lines that are not in that can just be added will be highlighted in blue). Make sure the new lines are between <FeatureSet> </FeatureSet> . Now it's time for the features that can be enabled:
1. Enable call duration in call log: <CscFeature_Contact_DisableCallDuration>false</ (thanks to @eyecon82)
2. Enable camera shutter sound on/off menu: <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
3. Add an exit menu to the stock web browser: <CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
4. Enable infinite scrolling in home screen and app drawer: <CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
5. Enable scheduled message: <CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
6. Enable prompt to select recording mode: <CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode></CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderEnablePromptPopupToSelectRecMode>
7. Enables Rotation control icon in Gallery: <CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>true</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>
8. Stock browser requests Desktop site by default: <CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Web_EnableDesktopSiteAsDefault>
E.) When done make sure you save the changes, and reboot.
F.) ENJOY!
Gonna be working hard on this tonite peeps to ensure which ones are working and which are not... just gotta get thru stupid work first! -__-
Expect a nice update tonite peeps. PLEASE if you know anything about this stuff, feel free to add on!
Good stuff man! I did the shutter sound and exit on stock browser. I'm not sure if it pertains to what I did or if it would have any effect on it (I doubt), but I lost my ability to press and hold to get punctuation on my Samsung keyboard. Lol

I believe with original Touchwiz home, you have to MOD the TouchwizHome.apk to have infinite scroll through pages, as seen in MOD faster touchwiz launcher thread (see Index for easy link). Works from just apk push and no csc mod.
Also, here are the screenshots I promised. Says "null" for feature but my be able to MOD but wonder what it does...

Hey Joe. I'm thinking I may have deleted something else while doing my entries for enabling something. You think me doing that may have borked something? Would you happen to know the entry for the keyboard symbols.

You honestly probably did delete something man, you should've copied the original/unedited to your EXT SD Card so you had a backup of it just in case you fudged something up. I'm sorry but I do not know the CSC edit for keyboard symbols
