Strange..
I have quite a few live wallpapers I use from time to time - do not notice any lag to speak of from any of them.
Remember anything you download from the market is subject to not performing well on any one particular device. It really comes down to how the dev of that program coded it - some stuff does not work well on a honeycomb based device but runs great on froyo or gingerbread, and vise versa.
I experience lag as well...
Live wallpapers are unusable for me. I get horrible lag and with the included wallpapers and any that I download from the market as well. (I'm on 4.010.11_COM_GEN2 3.1 OTA)
It is especially apparent when dragging an icon to move it elsewhere. The tablet just slows to a crawl. Very disturbing but I'm going to flash an alternative rom soon and will update if the issue goes away.
Update: Flashed to 3.1 Minimalist rom and the live wallpapers now work with no lag. I guess bloatware was killing my OTA 3.1 performance.
Also sometimes widgets just dissappear from the home screens...I have to move some other widget to another homescreen to fix this....anyone experiancing this??...any solution to this??

I don't have the disappearing widgets thing happening with the iconia, but my old Behold 2 had a problem with the happening constantly. I ended up installing a different ROM and that seemed to fix it. I still don't know why it happened.
Also thanks for the heads up about a Captain America lwp. I went and saw the movie last night and it was awesome. Its probably my current fav superhero movie.
Hey guys,
I thought I'd drop by and say hi to everyone, you'll be seeing me here more often - just picked up my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G from the store - totally loving it. I used to own the Galaxy Tab 7" previously, I sold that for this.
Still snooping around, initial impressions are great !
Any recommendations or any particular threads or apps that I must see to love my tab more? just drop the links here I'll check 'em out.
Once again, Great to know you'll
Cheers
Jackie
here's a tip for you;
When I got my 10.1 (day after launch) I was at first disappointed at the "lack of apps" for it but that disappointment was unfounded BECAUSE, I should NOT look for tablet specific apps which is unimportant....just look for apps because they don't have to be "tablet specific" to work, work well and look great on your device.
I now have more apps than I have space (16GB)
enjoy your 10.1
Thanks a lot Jon,
To be honest, I've been lurking around in this forum for quite some time now, I've understood that most apps are actually optimized for honeycomb just that they don't mention it !
Lack of apps is of least concerns to me, apps for honeycomb keep growing, I also feel they'll be loads of new apps in the coming months !
Thanks a lot for the warm welcome !
Cheers

Welcome. There are many apps out, but these are some of my favorites.
Thumb Keyboard. Makes typing a breeze. I also like the new text shortcuts button. Great for entering common words and phrases.
ADW Launcher EX. Faster than the Honeycomb Launcher. I really like the bottom dock as well.
Screen Off and Lock. I have it on the bottom dock of my home screen. Don't have to use the power button all the time.

are there any apps that are wanted?
i'm a developer who recently got a 10.1 and would like to know what kind of apps there are demand for for honeycomb optimization
Would love, love, love a sports live scores app. Especially baseball. Right now the only ones out there are phone versions which only work in portrait mode and the text is teeny tiny. Can't wait for MLB At Bat to get tablet-ized (hoping it does anyway!). The only tablet version apps I really miss are some of the biggies like Yelp and TripAdvisor.
Welcome. I will second the thumb keyboard (life saver) and the adw ex launcher. Many forums here will help you set it up.
I would also like to suggest the following.
Multipicture Live Wallpaper- honeycomb crops wallpaper horribly, this fixes that and you can have more than one wallpaper.
Some good Widgets are wizz widgets, android pro widgets, HD Widgets, desktop vizualizer, folder organizer lite, and minimilistic text (although have fun- I needed you tube videos for this one.
As for apps I like- pulse for greader, xda premium, dropbox, folder organizer hd, Pandora, tune in radio and Netflix. (Which you have to side load-again other forums for those directions)
Have fun with it and kiss time goodbye due to customizing.

As far as games go, I am addicted to the labyrinth games. My fave is Atilt 3D Labyrinth (by Fridgecat). There is a free version for it. Also, there is a similar game called Labyrinth (by Illusion Labs) and a free version called Labyrinth lite.

Great - I love games, I'll check them out - thanks
P.S. Should I root my tablet now? any particular plus point in doing so - I am quite familiar with rooting, all my other Android devices are rooted. Just curious how it helps in Honeycomb.
Root would be good for using a ps3 controller for MAME / Genesis / Snes roms (which mostly work like a dream - check out jrioni arcade and gensoid etc.) I haven't done this yet but its getting more and more tempting.
Re ADW: does it run as fast as touchwiz? I was put off by reviews saying it was laggy... cheers
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Adw ex runs on top of touchwiz. You don't get rid of touchwiz. Its as simple as an app. You don't like it, uninstall it. I believe all the launchers have a lite version so you can check it out to see if you like it. Mostly you pay so you can resize Widgets and icons and download themes. Adw ex and launcher pro are the two that I have tried, Alot less lag, almost none at all. Wish Google would try one out so they could improve stock.

I installed Launcher Pro the other day and it was so smooth I could jeez in my pants by just scrolling.
Now I've been playing around flashing and restoring multiple ROMs and when I got back to my original setup, it wasn't smooth anymore T.T
Any idea on how to fix this? I already reset to defaults and restored from a backup.
I think i saw that the update messed it up not sure though
I think it is, now that i think of it. I remember I update it and it started acting strange.
NVM just got the fix, I had a Live Wallpaper.
cool i used it for a while on my galaxy tab 7 and upgraded to pro but now im back on adw ex
I noticed this too, but it was because I was using a Live Wallpaper, I took off the Live Wallpaper and it was smooth again
Same here, the screens preview animations are not smooth when i got over 5 pages on desk and it became worst when i use live wallpapers...all this in a galaxy s2...not even overclocking works well...
What i did was to use chainfire 3d and put the nvidia drivers on it...this seem to improve the animations quiality (in adition to set "high quality scrolling" on launcher pro)

Just thought I might share this experience for those who are foolish enough like me. You must understand I am not a developer but I love to tinker.
While most are busy porting apps, wallpapers, ringtones, etc from the Galaxy S4, I thought why don't I port the Galaxy Note 8 instead. So with a bunch of foolishness, I downloaded the Galaxy Note 8 N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT Firmware, extracted, deodexed and zipaligned it and copied all the system/apps and the system/frameworks & system/etc/permissions and a lot of system/lib files & /media and /fonts folder, packed it in a pre-made note1 rom, edited the build.prop and set lcd density to 213 (as this is the density that the note 8 is using) and flashed it thru recovery. Luckily it booted and reached the Setup screen showing some errors which I ignored and just went thru the whole setup wizard sometimes rebooting itself and going back to the setup screen again until I finally made it thru the google setup page and eventually the homescreen and greeted with a very nice wallpaper. At this point, the systemui is not working, nor does wifi but telephony works so does mms. Gallery, Video Player, Music Player, File Manager, Splanner with pefect fitting Calendar widget, Email, Alarm, World Clock, airview and some other extra apps - all working fine with few minor bugs. Calculator, Snote, Quick Command, screenshot not working.
So I immediately tried to activate multiwindows which is the feature I am after. Like the note1 and note2, just long pressing the back button activates the multiwindow bar. There are two modes to the multiwindow bar, dual mode and cascade mode. While the note 10.1 uses the systemui traybar to show multiwindow apps, the Note 8 uses the flashbar tray to launch multiwindow apps. There are some differences as you can see in the video.
There are a lot of work to be done for a full port specially the systemui and wifi. I am not sure which framework files or lib files are hardware related so I am not sure if it is worth the effort to make a full port at all. But I learned some things doing this foolish thing and might give others the courage to try things, to learn, to explore even in the face of failure. I am still as noob as when I started learning about android 4 months ago. There is so much to learn and I am having a great time being part of an open system and a great community like xda. I would say there is so much more to learn here than in school. For all the things I have learned in a span of 4 months here in xda, I would like to say THANK YOU.

In the meantime, I have uploaded the Note 8 Apps HERE for those who want to use it on stock note1 rom preferably at 213 Phablet or Tablet UI.
I believe we have a good dev here that can help you to port..hope so..:fingers-crossed:
Thank you Xperiacle, thanks for keeping our note alive with your mods. Thanks you for all!
Amazing job dude, really!
xperiacle, i always wonder what you are up to when you become quiet .....
Just how foolish can one get !

"IF" and when I have a stable enough port of the Note 8 ROM, I will definitely SHARE it here in xda. At the moment it is pretty unstable and I am having second thoughts about it. Using it for a while, there is nothing really special about it except of course the multiwindow feature. It uses a mostly WHITE theme which is not good for battery life and eyesight. Apart from the new flashbar multiwindow, most Note 8 stock apps can run on stock JB note1 using 213 dpi like TW Launcher, Galllery, VideoPlayer, MMS, Email, Task Manager, Music Player, Splanner, Clock and Weather Widgets, File Manager, Awesome Note, Flipboard, Svoice, Chrome, etc. Gesturepad does not run but there are better alternatives on the PlayStore. Polaris Office tablet runs well on the port but on the stock note1 rom, it doesn't run probably because it is checking some signature. Readers hub now detects whether device is rooted or not and does not run on rooted roms. Snote tablet does not work but the Snote ported by arsaw for GS3 works well enough. As the systemui is not working I could not test the Reading Mode feature - it could be something that can be ported from android.policy. The rest are just minor stuff.
Talking about the multiwindow feature - the default uses the same native multiwindow as the stock multiwindow on the note1 and note2 which is the multiwindow feature shown on commercials and Note 8 review sites. But once you delete the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml file in permissions folder, you will get multiwindow just like the one on the video I have shown which is better of course as apps can be maximised and restored to window mode back and forth - which is already available on note1 using my floating multiwindow and tablet ui mods.
What are your thoughts, Guys? What feature do you think is worth porting/using a Note 8 Rom?
P.S. I have uploaded the base ROM and it is very unstable at the moment but it lets you experience first hand what I have been talking about. It is only for those who know what they are doing. So if you are interested to try, send me a PM and I will share the link. But a BIG WARNING, I am not responsible for any damage that may result in flashing it. It uses Philz xxlsz 4.35 kernel which do not have the bootloop fix but it's the one I use because I dont get bootloops with it. As for the Note 8 stock apps for those who are using 213 phablet or tablet ui modes, I will upload them later.
For anyone interested the stock n5100 (note 8) download link from Sam mobile is http://www.hotfile.com/dl/200082066/9df9e66/N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT.zip.html
OBVIOUSLY DONT FLASH THIS ON YOUR N7000

I posted the link because many of the apk files themselves are useful alongside with xposed framework and per app DPI settings.
But since YOU are so concerned I will post a warning.

xperiacle, mods are your forte. Roms are bound to present stability issues. Mods also give flexibility for improvisations and enhance the learning experience. so more mods please
Some updates...
I have managed to port fully working Snote with idea sketch with more features than the note2 snote app. Also comes with S Page widget. A better looking Quick Snote.
I also managed to port the keyboard with three layouts - qwerty, floating, split - and with awesome handwriting recognition using vision objects engine.
So far, Splanner with handwriting mode perfectly working with perfectly fitting widget on Homescreen at 213 dpi.
Polaris Office tablet working with some watermarks but can be hacked with smali edit I guess.
All ported apps will be shared once I finished pinpointing the necessary lib files.

Great work mate
very exciting to see this.

Hi Xperiacle, this is great! I admire the SNOTE you provide.
Just noticed it's UI is clipped (undo redo arrows) and possibly other controls. Was not successful changing the DPI for this app, also no problem changing it for others. Any suggestion how to change it?
Also - don't you have additional languages for the hand writing recognition, particularly Czech?
Thanks a lot!
Is it possible just to get that keyboard?

I was using note 3 running 4.4.2 and there was s a big time problem attaching music files in whats app etc... And other apps as well... I searched net and there is list of forums saying the problem is with android version not samsung etc etc.... Surprisingly ever since i got m8 there s no problem as such even in whats app the music files are attached in one go and ease also unlike samsung the widgets do not freeze...
Though i do miss full screen weather effects like old sense ....
Its amazing ...just wanted to share my view..m sure loads of ppl who shifted from samsung would have noticed this....

For the full screen weather animations from sense 4 you can install viper rom. They have ported them to sense 6!
