Archos performance

Been watching this video on youtube about performance and task killer. Just thought I'd share it.

Also just fyi, I think the stock launcher on my 70 blows. I installed launcher pro both before doing the froyo update and after updating and in both cases the device became much much smoother to operate. I don't know what it is but that stock launcher is just laggy as hell, bumping and jumping all around and jittery. Once I installed launcher pro it transitions smooth, the app drawer is way smoother, everything seems more responsive. I also highly suggest using a static wallpaper, LWP just bogs it down. BTW after updating to froyo launcher pro no longer appeared on the market, I had to go the launcher pro's website and download the apk

You did the market clear?
Because i have the launcherPro in my market

Yeah I've been using LP on my Hero for many months now and it's like a transformed phone with great widgets almost matching the HTC Sense widgets in style but much much faster that the HTC Hero launcher.

Sorry for this side note... but I can't take it anymore...!
Most videos of phones and tablets are giving me headaches and getting me dizzy: in and out of focus, bumpy camera work, etc.
Are these geniuses unable to figure out a way to put the camera on a tripod and the phone/tablet on a stand...????
Sorry again... don't mean to be mean...
By the way, my launcher is ADW.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Still, I think it's better then nothing

That video was 2:35am on November 13?
That was an early rom and certainly not 2.2.

I've installed Adw, its the best i think!
Very many custom designs downloadable

Gingerbread notification pull down and music app

Just put on Gingerbread yay... but...
Music app is still the same... I thought it was meant to change?
And the notifcation pull down has light grey backgrounds for the items. Looks kinda out of place, I thought they would be black.
Launcher seems a little laggy too
Is this the same experience for everyone else? Has something gone wrong with my update?

Music app doesn't change...

Same experience here. I had already been using CM7 so I wasn't surprised.
LauncherPro is super smooth on gingerbread though. Even with the live wallpaper. It didn't feel this fluid on CM7.

LauncherPro is smooth for you? It took a performance hit for me on GRI40.
On 2.2 and the AOSP 2.3 builds, the drawer open/close animation (without 3D and without a live wallpaper) was incredibly smooth, but for some reason now it's slightly choppy when opening and closing.

i had a little trouble with LP until I turned off the 3D app drawer.

i can confirm this 100%. With 2.2.1 i had completely smooth scrolling with LP, but after GB update the animations are stuttery and i also have never used the 3d drawer and don't use live wallpapers.
So this is definetly real. Hope LP will fix that soon.

I found the GB (stock) launger laggy after it first installed too.
I just did a full wipe on the phone (from within Android, including SD card) and when the phone rebooted, there was no lag.
More than likely, the phone just needed to have rebooted.

Yeah, experience the same LP choppiness on both 2.3/CM7. Has to be a LP specific issue. Impatiently waiting for the LP rewrite...

well, a full wipe is no option for me...i'm not rooted and therefore don't have a backup. And i have no time to setup everything again.

Venting: Why is the homescreen so laggy?

This seems to be such a common problem for android phones and tablets. Even with deodexed, slimmed, optimized roms and overclocked kernels, it just boggles my mind that the homescreen is the slowest part of the android experience. Other apps scroll smoothly and are responsive, but the homescreen is jerky and slow.
Try this: Long click an icon and drag it around the screen. The thing can't follow even a moderately fast-moving finger. And that's just a simple icon moving on a 2d plane. But then, I can run a playstation emulator in 3d without problems.
The same thing has been true on my G1, SGS, Droid Charge, GTab 10.1, and Moto Droid 1.
Am I missing something?

i dunno mayne its the snap to grid that causes it because flipping back and forth from pane to pane is smooth.

Coming from the transformer, this was the first thing i actually noticed. One thing that would help is to change the default wallpaper to one of your own. It actually improves it significantly

I have a Xoom on 3.2 and the home screen is really smooth. I have looked at many Touchwiz videos on Youtube and it seems very laggy compared to my Xoom. But i guess i will soon see it in person, just ordered a GT10.1 3G.

Only reason that your tab or phone are laggy on homescreen is due to either wallpaper or widget,
To fix it get wallpaper wizardrii and set to no scroll.
In regards to the icons well notice that you have additional few more effects when you tap and hold icons, there is stransparency, grid etc. If you want to move icons from app dock to homescreen it shows both at the same time, and homescreen is active not paused.
Ios will never be able to do this there is just to much
At the moment my tab is acting really weird.
My wallpaper is scrolling although it should not, screen is absolutely jitter free all that happened since I've activated kies via wifi and deselected usb debugging (needed it to install drivers)

Can't say mine is laggy at all but I'm not using the stock launcher. The latest "UEKMB" slim Launcher2 with enabled hw acceleration and Multipicture LWP looks and feels extremely smooth. I have no comparison to another Honeycomb Tablet but I can't really see it getting noticeable "smoother".

I have the same problem.... Before the Touchwiz update my homescreen was very laggy, after the update it became less lagy but you can still feel it when scrolling which, I gotta tell you is the most annoying thing... IS there any way to make my homescreen smoother? I've tried wallpaper wizardrii which helped but after awhile the wallpaper cuts in half... I have no more than 5 widgets on my Tab and i'm still amazed on how bad the screen lag is.... I

I'm using ADW Launcher EX, and the screen is super smooth/responsive. The latest version has a high-density option, so we still get the big icons. It's $2 or $3 but it's worth it, and the other thing is to disable the scrolling desktop.
Give it a try. I'm not sure why the stock launcher is so choppy, but they could learn something from the folks who made ADW.
-----
Side note: My current ROM/Kernal is completely stock. No root, no OC, and ADW is still silky smooth. BUT... it was even smoother when I was running my Tab at 1400 with AutoKiller.

Adw launcher is great. I use it on my Xoom & it makes it fly.Try it on the 10.1 & give us some feedback.

I see the lag on my Tab that is described by the OP.
However, I do NOT see it on my HTC Thunderbolt phone running Go Launcher EX.

I just finished installing ADW launcher ex and its A LOT smoother than stock, the transition from landscape to portrait view is still a bit droggy but that's probably because of the widgets. I'm loving the new look ADW gave my tablet.

I too was very frustrated with the homescreen lag on my 10.1. I installed ADW Launcher EX and it has been super smooth and givees you some neat options for homescreen transition effects too. Give it a try.

do a search.
Its because Google has little to no interest in fixing the UI/gpu/hw acceleration issues.
Your phone tablet apps launcher etc have nothing to do with it. Its a fundamental issue with Android that has been ignored and no intention of real fix.

Based on the number of people that just said the stock launcher is laggy, and the aftermarket ones are not, I would say the launcher has quite a lot to do with it.

Who made the stock launcher?... Google...
It is well known that Google cuts corners in relation to standardization and hardware acceleration. Instead the focus on incrementally updating release numbers instead.

Lag and framerate drops happen across the ui not just the launcher. It is an Android problem not anything device specific.

I have a standard (scrolling, but not live) wallpaper, 5 widgets and maybe 30 shortcut icons on my desktop/homescreen. Scrolling from one to another is silky smooth (3.1 TW). On one occasion it was quite laggy, it seemed like it had gone from hw accel'd to software for no obvious reason.... Quick reboot fixed it, though.
While it's probably true some performace issues lie with google, I'd wager most problems lie with users and developers doing things badly (or trying to do too much).

I deleted the social hub widget and my homescreen does not lag at all anymore.

THIS. Widgets. Remove them.

PROFIT!

Mine varies from ROM to ROM. I actually get the smoothest experience on stock 3.1 no TW.

Scrolling smoothness

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Vivo Nex under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I detect no choppy scrolling so far on this phone. I have the 845/8GB memory version of the NEX and am happy with it so far. The phone is new and I don't have any "FREE" apps on the phone as those apps always seem to slow down performance when collecting information on everything you do. Always read the UELA and make your choice.

In terms of performance, all is great and buttery smooth, however two things are worth noticing: developer settings activates red bar on top of the screen (I wanted to reduce animations time and choose the BT codecs etc), Google Now feed is a bit choppy.

Scrolling is as fast as it gets on this device I use Bromite as browser with Adguard PRO yes impressive scrolling performance en general speed.
The Redbar is idiotic of Vivo but you can remove it with the app autonotifcation.
Google feed is little bit choppy with the Pixel Bridge I use with Rootless Pixel Launcher, but I think it is a problem isolated to just this app and not more.. maybe it can be solved with some of the settings for Vivos security and battery enchantments the seem to make some of the apps missbehave.

take a look on twitter app . To me, it seems choppy.

Performance is extremely fast and smooth
This vivo software is amazing
But themes Chinese app is crapppp

Got solved by using navigation gestures instead buttons

Overall speed

Would you say that the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

Jitter
I see jitter (frame drops) whenever:
- Opening the app drawer
- Scrolling on the app drawer
- Open the multi-task and scrolling between apps
- Switching to Google Feed (on Nova launcher with nova companion)
Just to note I am on MIUI 9.6 and I use Nova Launcher.
Aside from this the tablet is still very usable for my purposes, which is mainly reading on Google Books, reddit is fun, Xodo Pdf.
I imagine this thing would be a beast with LOS.

Same here when using Nova Launcher on Redmi 4X with Mi-Globe. Seems like MIUI doesn't like Nova sometimes

its fast but cannot play 4k video without colour degradation.....but its best option in the price range....
