Pro wallpaper question

Hey there, I own a Droid 2 global and i've noticed that this phone and the Droid x have their own "Droid eye" live wallpaper. I was also looking at the Droid does website and noticed the Droid pro had it own unique Droid eyes. So does the Pro have its own Droid eye live wallpaper? Thanks.

It has an Eye wallpaper, but it's not live.

i think the droid pro has no live wallpapers (aka HTC)
I have not found this on my pro

Launcher..

Just wondering what launcher you guys use/what works best with the RAZR m? I've always used go launcher (kind of getting sick of it) but I'm hearing that nova works well with android 4.0 + . What are your thoughts/opinions? Thanks

Nova Prime for me, all though I hate losing the circle widget..

Apex.

Nova and Apex seem to be the launchers of choice these days. I've used both and slightly prefer Nova, but I couldn't really tell you why. Both are great.

I like to keep it real simple. Nothing on home screen but 10 icons on dock. Just switched to Nova from go launcher and wow its smooth and fast. Love it

I was using nova but decided to go back to the stock launcher after playing around with it. I figured out how to remove the Google bar and then added some custom dock icons. Add all that with the circles widget and i am very happy with Blur.

I noticed that there's gestures included in the free version of apex. Pretty legit.

Yeah the free version of Apex has more features than the free version of Nova.

Nova / Apex jittery page transitions

Has anybody else noticed this? (Maxx HD here)
If I use anything but "none" on homescreen transitions...
regardless of moving wallpaper or not
regardless of wallpaper
It's extremely jittery on the screen transitions. Well, I say "anything" - I haven't tested every transition animation. I've always used Card Stack, and it's pretty bad. Just wondering if I've got something else going on. Other areas seem smooth, but this is the first phone I've had this "problem" with.

I'm using Nova and having the same issues with transitions. Haven't tried Apex. I would suspect that we'll see updates to fix these issues shortly.

Thanks, I thought the same but wanted to see if others were seeing it.
Edit: and what's weird is other things remain perfectly smooth, seems to only affect home screen transitions.

Remember you're on a fully bloatified BLUR ROM. Until we get an optimized/bloatless ROM, system level apps like the launcher are going to suffer a little bit of performance hit. But I have noticed a little bit of a jitter. Cycling home pages seems to help, but it is still there. And honestly, it seems pretty hard to notice unless you're looking for it...
Or maybe you're just used to Project Butter

if you have root, you can remove the bloatware apps and you can also install v6 supercharger, maybe this will fix it

No problems on the M with the same bloated blur, and V6 shouldn't be necessary on a device like this, in any scenario I wouldn't think?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ICS has better memory management compared to GB, and since we have 1024 of RAM, supercharging probably won't have much of an effect. On my X2 with 512 yeah, it helped in GB, but it didn't play well with ICS.
It just seems to be a non issue on that front.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

Yeah V6 shouldn't be necessary

It definitely seems isolated to the "card stack" animation, and one of the others that I can't remember off the top of my head (phone is out of reach at the moment). But it seems that those animations are consistently "jittery" on Nova, Apex, and Holo - though maybe they're all using the same code / memory management?

if your phone is rooted and/or you're open to rooting it than...
I installed setcpu and changed the governor from ondemand to interactive.
it made a big difference when waking up from a black screen.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

Interesting - that is one area that the phone definitely feels slow, after waking from a prolonged (i.e. more than a few minutes!) sleep. Will give that a shot - thanks.

Interesting, I tried using ROM Toolbox's cpu tuners, but they would not stay set. Ie phone wouldn't recover from screen off setting, nor would governor changes stick. Have you checked to see if similar issues exist with setcpu?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda premium

i think you can't change governors with stock kernel, you need a custom kernel for that also for overclocking

Not exactly true. As long as bootloaders are locked we won't have any custom kernels. While over clocking is definitely not necessary on this device, under clocking would be nice. Logcat actually shows "CpuGovernorService" making changes after settings have been changed with ROM Toolbox.

Really terrible Color banding / blacks since update!

I downloaded the jellybean update last night, super excited and eager. My phone powers up, and the blacks in my wallpaper no longer flow together. It looks like color banding on a bad TV. I'm not sure of a better way to explain this. If any off you have seen it, you'd know exactly what I mean.
I can try adding a screenshot, but I'm pretty sure it's bit the images fault, as it looked okay prior to the update, but I'll try anyway.
If anyone else is experiencing this, or knows off a fix let me know.

Yeah.. =/
Unfortunately, I knew a screenshot wouldn't really help since it's a rendering issue. I have two other friends with RAZRs. One has a RAZR HD, and the otheras a RAZR MAXX HD like myself. Ever since the Jellybean update, wallpapers that go from absolute black to some color, band and dont blend well. It looks awful..

Could you tell us if you had made any changes to your phone (root, TiBu frozen apps, etc.)? I'm on a MAXX HD also and not having any issues at all. Phone was stock before update (just the ICS OTA installed).

I've made zero changes to the phone. Phone was completely stock prior to update. My tethering isnt working either through the native Verizon app anymore either. I tried to download FoxFi, and that just crashes the phone when i enable it

Did you try to re-apply the wallpaper or try a different one? I'm wondering if the image itself is screwed up. Usually banding on AMOLED screens will show when you have gray/dark shading. I've applied several of the stock dark wallpapers and they all look great - no banding at all.

I've had no issues of banding on ICS. My friend who has a normal RAZR HD has zero banding on the jellybean update. My friend, who has a RAZR MAXX HD as well, also has the banding issue after updating to jellybean.

How to get GS3 Weather/clock for N7?

Hey guys, i was just wondering if there was an APK or other way to get the samsung galaxy s3 style weather clock from accuweather. I currently use Beautiful widgets and its just not the same thing. It comes close to it but doesn't switch the weather pictures and doesn't update when prompted. What do you guys suggest? Also, is there a way to get the HTC weather/clock widget? Thanks!

Bump

This may not be fully accurate, but I've heard that those samsung widgets need the samsung framework in order to function. Since we don't have touchwiz I don't think it'd be possible.
This Rom brings touchwiz features to the Nexus 7 so maybe you could try it out.

Is there anyway to just get the clock widget? That's all I need because my nexus 7 isn't rooted.

No root = No Samsung framework
