So does anyone know how to successfully run the new Fennec pre alpha on a non rooted Droid Eris on 2.1.?
no, but in the brief article I read it said you need a droid or nexus one
its not really possible, it has major force close issues.
I downloaded the apk and instaled it on 2.1 root and experinced fc after a few moments of running. It sucks...really want to try it out.
Running it on droid, its nothing to call home about.
with me being on aloysius 2.0v6, and all my apps instaled, I could not even make room to try and install a 10mb apk... it's actually the one and only true time i wanted apps2sd on the eris.
are you all using this build? http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/firefox-now-available-for-android-2-0-and-above-still-at-pre-al/ it seems like the newest one out there.
Yay I'm running non-rooted Droid Eris 2.1 leakv3 and the latest pre-alpha just runs for a second and then crashes every time I run it, any fixes?

Wait, your saying Opera, of all the browsers is good? That's by far the worst mobile browser available!!!! Not saying Fennec will be better.........Maybe I just need to get used to Opera, but that's just my opinion..

Whats wrong with it? It loads incredibly fast, has a nice UI, offers a nice homepage launcher, etc. I think it's a hell of a browser, from what I understand they load most of the page on their end and send the finished product to you. The only complaint i have is lack of multitouch but that is in no way a deal breaker.
If you don't believe the speed difference a/b between the stock browser and opera with androidcentral.com
Last time I used opera, it was just too clunky and navigating through the menus was a big pain. Im currently using skyfire 2.0 and it does the same thing with loading the page through its servers first to take the load off the phone. It hd some really nice features as well. I highly suggest everyone try it. There was a good tutorial on phandroid.com about all the features. Check it out

Just downloaded on a whim after reading the article on engadget. Seems pretty decent so far, I'll try it out for the next week and see what I think.

Cool, I think its pretty neat.
Using Skyfire as well..it is way better than Dolphin,stock, Xscope and Opera. It is fast and somehow it remembers your bookmarks. Got real tired of saving bookmarks/favorites and losing them when you installed a new OS
My Atrix runs nice and smoothly for the most part. Apps are smooth as butter. My only issue is lag whenever I return to the homescreen. If I wake up the device after a while, or I return to the homescreen after using an app for a while, and I try to swipe to another homescreen, there's always a 1 second delay. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it gets annoying seeing it all the time. The same thing happens with any launcher I try to use. Live wallpapers don't really make it lag more. I do use lots of Widgets, so maybe that's causing it. I don't know. Does anyone else have any insight on this?
I have the same issue. Using Lpro. I thought if I put into memory it won't happen but it doesn't help. A bit irritating.

yes, im experiencing this too, though I do not have a solution. Is what you're experiencing like right when you unlock the phone, and you try and swipe between homescreens, it's kind of like slow motion until like 2 seconds later, then it becomes full speed and buttery smooth?

Exactly. Does it happen to you when you exit an app as well?
I wonder whether this is a result of the way Tegra 2 handles processes. Maybe it slows down ADW (or other launcher) when not in use, but doesn't speed up quickly enough.
Hopefully future Gingerbread updates help fix this.
So...
I guess this is just an unfortunate side effect of Froyo not being optimized for dual-core processors? That sucks, especially considering that I haven't seen this happening with any other Android phone, dual-core or not.
I had a homescreen lag on my N1 with stock froyo, on my Nexus S with gingerbread. My MT4g hat no lag with froyo and sense. Attic has a lag occasionally. Ithink it is bad programming in android or the graphic overlay.

Hmm. That makes me think the upcoming Gingerbread update won't fix this.
I wonder whether there's anything I can freeze. I've already frozen the stock launcher (I use ADW) but it hasn't helped.

I can't speak for newer gingerbread versions. I returned my Nexus S after 3 weeks and it shipped with the original, too early released version of gingerbread that was horrible buggy. Hopefully, they fixed that in later versions. Let's see what version we get for the Atrix.
Is it just a select few people having this issue? As I browse the forums, most people say that the Atrix is perfect and has no lag.
Am I going to have to remove widgets to get rid of this homescreen stutter?
Grrr. This issue is like a grape juice stain on your white carpet. It's little, but it's there.
I'll stop bumping this, I guess not enough people are having this problem.

I have a notification bar lag that only a few people have. If I get an email and my phone is locked and I unlock it and try to swipe the notification bar down I need always 2 attempts to be successful...I have absolutely no idea what triggers this...
As I'm a new registered user I'm forced to make this post here.
I have been experiencing some lag with the 1.7 rom in conjunction with Slideit. When I select a text box it will take 2-3 second before the onboard keyboard shows up.
I have tested this with Swype and it doesnt suffer from this lag. I can't even get to 1. Now i know the smart thing to do is just use swype and i most likly will but i wanted to let people know that it is a problem and maybe they can correct it.
It wouldn't allow you to tag this to the existing CleanRom thread?

Are you using the free version of that keyboard? I'm on a different ROM but was using the free version and know exactly what you were talking about. It was incredibly annoying. It would take way too long for the stupid keyboard to open up. I bought the keyboard anyway just to try it and all my problems went away. I haven't noticed the lag and have had better results with my typing since buying it. Just a thought.

No I'm using the 10 cent version that google had on sale a few months ago.
I'll just try a reinstall and see what is wrong
Has anyone had any issues with extreme lag when using Words with Friends?
I've tried a couple different ICS roms, and they have all displayed slowness (or FC) after playing a word, or choosing a wildcard letter. Its a relatively minor gripe (and really my only gripe of my current rom) but it is a nuisance. I saw a related post in the ROM's developer thread, but I didn't see any responses there.
Thanks
I'm not on ICS but when there was an update for WWF I saw that people were complaining about it but I don't remember why, so if you are using the latest version maybe you can try installing the older one.
I am using ICS and have absolutely no issues at all with Words With Friends. Seems to work perfectly fine here.
I would try clearing its data and cache and see if that fixes it.
i just use hanging friends.. no lag there either, but with the first ics leaks it was very laggy
I had the game briefly, with no issues, I only got rid of it because it's a battery killer.

I have had the exact same issue right down to the issues with the blank tile. I will try clearing data and cache, and see if that does it.
yeah, clearing data and cache didnt fix it, unfortunately.
also cleared cache and data, no luck
Turn off fastboot and be patient with the app. I can sit for horus playing the game without issue. Even restored app data from gingerbread for it.
Same issue
Yeah I'm having issues with major lag between screens on the free version of Words With Friends. If anyone finds a solution please post.
I think the issue has to do with the ad block in ics rims.nilsp has a zip to remove ad block but I can't get it to work.the people who have no lag do you use the free or paid version? I'll spend the 2.99 if it fixes the lag,but don't want to be the guinea pig if it doesn't

Free version using BAMF 1.1, .22 leak, 3g or 4g doesn't matter.
Yep, have had the same issues on every ICS ROM. Fastboot has nothing at all to do with it, so I'm not sure where that came from. Been jacking with things trying to figure it out, but to no avail. Have an Email out to the Zynga. Hopefully we hear something.
Wait, there's an ad free version for $2.99? Yeah, I'll have one of those please.
That will at least fix the ad lags.

You have to buy tokens to kill the ads. Well worth it. Seems much smoother now, as it doesn't have to load the new page and go back to the game.
Same problem with the blank tile thoughl

I've been having a similar issue with "Where's My Water". Plays fine, but loading levels is EXTREMELY slow.
No ads, so I get the feeling it's a different issue.
I'm having the same issues with WWF on ICS. I'm running Calk's E4GT 2 1.4 and it's almost too irritating to play. Let's hope there's a fix soon.
Seriously, im disappointed. I loved my phone before the update, but now..after getting the update, I hate it. I want it OFF my phone. It totally fd up this phone. Pinch zoom is incredibly SLOW and CHOPPY. It freezes and lags like a SOB. And facebook...forget it. I visited the full site constantly because the mobile site caused too many problems. It used to be so fluid smooth. Now it kerps freezing and lagging. The POST/COMMENT button wont work most of the time. I have tried 2 browsers and Its the same problem on both. Also it wont stay centered when im typing. If I try to scroll it to see my text im typing, it forcfully moves back to the other location. What kind of update is this? It broke System Panel so now the cpu usage meter on the top right stays peaked out at 15xxmhz almost. Is there any way to fix these problems? 1 hour and I already cant stand it. This blows! Id rather use my Touch Pro 2 than this if I could. :/

Im sorry if I came off the wrong way, in a way certain parts are quite speedy...but others, like Facebook took a huge hit. I tried a few of my emulators. They seem to work. Nesoid even works despite what I have heard from others. But it seems to lag on frames. Like, the video frames will appear faster but it will skip many thus the motion is choppy instead of fluid. N64oid works faster. I guess thats a plus. I only tried Goldeneye. Typing seems more accurate, but this sollg and screen jumping business is making it very difficult to type..with what was once cake. It wont stay centered on your text. The text boxes in facebook nuke the cpu as soon as you click inside them. It wasnt bad at all before this. I have not tried maps, but since you asked, I might as well.

Update... Just tried Maps. It works with no problems. Then again, I dont have the extreme latest version. Im 2 or 3 updates behind from newest. Street view also works.
Just tried 2 more browsers to use facebook for. Angel and Dolphin, its horribly slow and unusable...

Unlike on locked down Motorola phones, it is perfectly possible to revert to gingerbread.
1. Unlock Bootloader with HTCDev
2. S-OFF with juopunutbear
3. Run Gingerbread RUU
4. You can stay S-OFF and Unlocked, or if you want to, S-ON and relock.

Right? I was on gb until like a month or two ago and I still prefer gb firmware over ica firmware. I have yet to try the latest radios but I still love the gb radios
I found Opera Mobile to work better. But damn...and yea, its either revert back or custom ROM. I still have not ever flashed before. Guess its one of those things I worry about because if reading a few horror stories of someones phone being bricked after flashing or phone radio not working.
I have seen people in here praising ICS left and right like it was the best update ever. I dont come in here often enough so maybe I missed the posts saying ICS is slow. I wonder if it is Sense 3.6 causing the slowdown?
Most things are the same probably butvsome stuff is def faster and hardware acceleration/gpu rendering makes everything completely smooth and not choppy like GB. Things will get better with some gud kernels when they release source
