Hello,
i have one question to cm10 26/7 (mb525).
My Homescreen is a little bit laggy but the app drawer is VERY SMOOTH (settings etc. too).
More smooth then the Homescreen.
Is that normal or should I do a FULL WHIPE and reinstall? (I will flash the 30/7 build later).
Thanks

Hmm same here :/ I have never really had a fluid home screen on any ics rom or jb rom.. (note: Green lens)
BUT you can play around with the different launchers and limit the amount of widgets you have..
Try Nova launcher and play around with all the animation speed settings
Try Apex launcher (Seems to be fastest for me)
Stock launcher improved a lil for me on the 28/7 build and judging by the comments, 30/7 has an improvement on smoothness with the stock launcher which is good news
But at the end of the day, for now at least, only gingerbread roms give you that speedy interface.
Im using CM10 purely for its features and Gapps widgets, speed is something that will improve with time.
Edit -> with regard to the full wipe, you could try and see if that helps but for me it makes no change.
Thanks for your answere
I don't want to use a launcher. I like the standard interface ^^
I just wanted to know, if I'm the only one with that problem. Everything is smooth, not the homescreen - but this isn't so important.

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...
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, 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...)

Does anyone here think its necessary to use this on our phone running on ICS?
Before this when we are on Gingerbread we have thunderbolt script and it is very popular thread but after we got aosp ICS it seem been forgotten...
So what is your opinion guys
p/s: Sorry if my English is bad
I let it run to waste time.
I used this some times ago on one of the first cm9 builds... but it made things even worse, so i never used it again. In my opinion there isn't any use for it (on CM9)
Why would you want this on ics? Not smooth enough already? Then you need some lube!
I'm using it and it's great. :good:
Had always some slow down after some time on (I almost never reboot my phone), never happens again using option 6 ("Ledded" 100MB).
No launcher redraw, nothing getting killed I do not want to... just perfect setting for me.

It reconfigures memory management what isn't really needed on ICS. Besides that, it comes with misc tweaks, zipalign, etc.

It also means my phone never gets in the 60MB-45MB RAM free where I feel it is running a lot slower.
With the 100MB supercharger settings, inactive apps get killed when I get around 75MB free and those apps are the oldest launched ones I'm not using at this moment.
Le option 6
My dear friends...option 6 will rule you. Don't forget to do some OOM regrouping or something like that. It really rocks
Its something useless IMO
Android know how mange ram
Btw I'm on aokp+devil + apex +zram I don't have any launcher redraw what ever I opened
Btw I played with my friend sgs3 and some times when u exit from some apps launcher redraw wtf

I think the V6 Supercharger is essential only if you have launcher redraws.
I have been running SlimICS 4.0 with Nova Prime.
I have a pretty heavy setup with 9 home screens all completely full with widgets.
My launcher takes up about 45 MB. Usually after a playing an intensive game or after opening multiple pages in the web browser, returning to the home screen involved waiting for all the widgets to reload.
I currently use Devil 0.99b with a Swap partition, overclocked to 1320MHz and a Die Hard launcher and I never get any redraws anymore.
My OOM values don't stick, but I don't think it's necessary as SlimICS has good defaults.
In short. V6 Supercharger is awesome!
may I ask if this is compatible with slim ics 4.2 with semaphore 1.2.6s?

So I recently downgraded to CM7 just because I wanted something more stable than the ICS/JB ROMs I'd been using. First thing I noticed is the horrible image quality throughout the system; stuff like gradients and the overscroll effect look like bad JPEGs.
The only thing I could think of was to enable 16-bit transparency in the CM settings and edit the build.prop to force GPU rendering, but neither of those did anything.
Anyone know what I could do to fix this or do I just need a better ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Understand that the CM roms are run through with a fine tooth comb before they are released ass a stable mod.
Try a diffrent launcher and see if that is still the case .

I definitely understand that. I was running CM10.1 for a while and it was the most stable (albeit unofficial) JB rom I'd had on here so far, so that's why I decided to switch to an official release - and everything's great, aside from the poor quality on gradients.

When i use to run cm7 on thee mytouch 3g there was a surface dithering option maybe that can help tho i did not see the diffrence.Do you have the inferrrior mt4g screen?
try one of thier nightly builds and if that is no diffrent then that is just how cm7 looks.

I've tried with and without surface dithering, still didn't make a difference. I remember looking when I first got this phone and it turned out that I got the good screen, plus I've flashed like 20 different ROMs and the graphics are always great. I actually just downloaded the latest nightly, so I'll give that a try.
Welp, flashing the latest nightly didn't help. I guess I'll just switch to a better ROM -_-
You might have luck by changing dpi.
