Hey, I have used Odin a couple of times to get back to stock EDO3. Each time the touch screen is EXTREMLY laggy! Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to resolve this problem. as soon as I root and go back to a rom, the problem is gone. It's only the stock TW launcher that is laggy.
Thanks

Isn't that your solution right there?
The whole reason we root and use customs is for more control. The stock rom with tw IS laggy. Thats why nearly everyone on the fascinate roots and uses a custom...
I really don't understand this thread.
Oh....that's why I root too but I need to get back to stock for now. By "laggy" I mean that it takes 5 seconds to move between home screens. Sometimes the phone even goes to sleep while I'm trying to move between screens. Oh well, LP works fine so I'll just use that. BUT.... TW launcher was never even close to being this troublesome in the past....
Is the lag ONLY when going between home screens?
Yes, seems to be a lag between home screens. Once you get into an app, or e-mail or something it is fine. It's also hard to come out of an app back into the home screen...if that makes any sense...
I was using the EDO3.Tar file to odin back to stock.
I have now Odined back to DLO9 and did all the updates to current and that has solved the laggy TW launher problem on stock.
Just FYI.....
Thanks for the help.......

IDK if people knoww about this, but today on my brothers vibrant which is fully stock, no lag fixes no root.
When its booting, i pressed the menu button over and over again then at the bottom it says SAFE MODE, but doesnt work on ROMS, because devs probably removed it or soemthing..
did anyone know about this?
It does work on roms it happened to me three days ago but had no idea what it was our how I did it pulled the battery and it was gone

If a app goes wacko. like a launcher then that's used to fix problems

Yes if you boot and hold the menu button, it will go into safe mode. This means that it will disable all third party apps and services. You'll notice your installed widgets not working. It is annoying because when you reboot again, you'll have to take off your widgets and then replace them again. This mode is in case you get a rouge app, so you can uninstall before it starts. Kind of like window's safe mode.
basically what he said ^^
I've gotten into safe mode once by accident, without intending to do so.
I hear you hold the menu capactive button down while turning on your phone, but I can't reproduce safe mode. I'm running rooted stock 2.2 kb5.
How do you get into safe mode? Holding the menu button down and turning on isn't doing it for me.
I just recently flashed Superclean 2.9.2. Runs great, btw. Since I like touchwiz, I installed the TW framework from Adry's SC thread in the developers forum. Now, the power button doesn't offer a menu for shut off. A short press gets sleep mode, a long press has the phone vibrating like an error occurred and then resets. My guess is that it's due to the TW launcher. Any suggestions as to how to get a better TW launcher or a way to get the options to shut-off or airplane mode back?
Thanks.

You are probably putting frameworks/jars together that dont all have reboot options built in
Just reflash the rom...if you want twlauncher back just pull it from the deodexed eb01 in development or the modified one from crushd in themes/apps
Try launcher pro, you might like it... i was a little hesitant at first, but i cant stand tw now. Lp offers a more real android experience, tw is trying to be like the iphone. the combination of lp, sc 2.9.2, and spare parts and all the customizing you can do with each one makes for a hell of a fast, fun phone... imo

Howdy kids,
I noticed today that my screen was flickering off the charts after the most recent update this morning to .15. I'm on a WW prime in Canada. BCOKAS serial. THe only real problem I've had is never-stellar wifi, and a nearly complete dead GPS.
Updated today, and the screen was flickering off the charts. I noticed first it was on the home screen. I had installed multi picture live wallpaper, to apply proper HD walls to my prime last night, but after extensive messing around I've never seen this flicker/tearing before.
Static lines horizontally, the status bar @ the bottom and top (ADW EX) would jitter a bit, and I was starting to freak out! Upon more review of the screen, it WAS in fact only happening on home. SO I disabled Multi pic live, and any transitions I had set last night. No good. Cold boot, Regular reboot, no good.
I noticed that the bottom status bar (with the home, back buttons, etc) looks slightly out of proportion, and my icons I had set up at the bottom row were overlapping the bar. I decided to try and switch back to regular Launcher (stock)
After clearing defaults, and switching to ICS launcher, everything returned to normal. Bar at the bottom was back to regular size. I re-loaded ADW EX, and everything APPEARS to be cool again. NO tearing, sizes of bars are good, my bottom row of apps is not overlapping the status bar. I'll report if the issue comes back, I'm at work so I can't play extensively, but I will reboot it now, with a fresh ADW launch and see what happens Hope this helps somebody out there!
I seems to me that maybe you should do the update on the stock launcher (assuming you were running ADW when you installed .15). Maybe the OTA doesn't like non-stock launchers running while doing updates.
I am messing around with ADW EX right now but don't have it activated as my permament launcher yet because I don't have it looking good yet. Thanks for the tips if I run into any problems with ADW.
ADW Ex was causing me problems a while ago, also ... I switched over to ICS Launcher and have not gone back. But, I still hold out hope to go back one day.
I've never had a problem installing updates on ADW before. Here's what I've come up with. I had to remove the Multipic. After rebooting, problem came back. I noticed w/ multipic enabled on ICS, it was weird as well. And I couldn't find the app in the app drawer either in ICS launcher.\
Removed multipic, and have rebooted a few times. ICS and ADW, no problems with flickering so far. Might try to reinstall multi later when I get home, but removing it has adressed the problem... just my wallpaper looks like crap on ADW again
I'm running multipic on ICS right now and when I am in ADW. I'm about to update now and let you know if I have the same issue with it. One thing I've noticed with multipic and ICS is when you come out of sleep mode the lock screen wallpaper would show up, fade out then come back. My home screen wallpaper would do it as well.
It's not unique to .15. Search the forum for triangle, jitter, dancing, flicker, or any other word you'd use to describe it.
I had this issues right after the original ICS update was pushed, and it somehow cleared itself up before I even had any updates. It happened to my friend as well on .14. It never seems to be a daily issues, just something that happens after a recent update, I don't have a clue as to the cause, however.
I've had screen issues since I received the Prime. It actually seems better now. But I also have access to the original Transformer and I noticed that after the ICS update this morning it also would occasionally have the same issues. On both devices I just see it periodically. Funny thing is, this is almost the only issue I've had with the Prime.
It happens once in a while, but certainly not every day. If left alone, it will resolve itself. If you want, you can reboot to make it go away.
No issues for me. I have used .15, with combination and ADW EX and Multipic live wallpaper. Both with random transition settings. Working fine. Stock launcher is what I normally use. No issues with stock launcher either.

I did do a search of the forums, but as I mentioned above, I haven't seen it until todays update. And its also odd, that it is happening after today's update, but the direct cause seems to be multipic
You're other comment doesn't make sense either. It'll work itself out? If I've never had the problem, and the cause was software based, how would it work itself out
Still haven't seen the problem come back, still planning on re-installing multipic later to see if something in the firmware doesn't like it.

My update was done with ADW running and have had no problems. I did a temp. unroot before update but things went smooth here. Serial # BCOKAS1xxxx. This build seems to be the smoothest so far.
Multiplication live wallpaper most likely the culprit. Its not fully optimized for ICS yet. Same thing happened to me several updates back. When I tried to use my adw launcher n multipic. Both caused issues so I uninstalled both n never looked back. No problems since.
Definitely going to chalk this up to Multipic, uninstalled, and have not seen the issue return at all. And agreed with demandarin, this build does seem a little snappier in browsers, I use nightly, and although its crashed a few extra times today, its definitely a lot faster picking up the tiles than it has been!
I also forgot to re-root after the update, which I have since done, thanks to OTA rootkeeper, I don't THINK it should have an issue, as I don't think multipic asked me for root, but just something to throw into the mix.

I don't know why it works itself out, but at certain points I've just left it alone because I didn't feel like rebooting at that moment. When I brought it out of sleep afterwards, the jitter had stopped of its own volition. I don't use any live wallpapers, fwiw. That doesn't mean it won't come back, but it went away on its own without my intervention. That's what I meant by "work itself out".
When I lock my tablet for later use it tends to glitch and appear blank (black screen, no functions work) forcing me to hard reset it by holding the power button down.
This does not happen every time, maybe 5%~10% of the time I lock my tablet this happens
Please help me as to how I can fix this! It's really annoying and I'm worried if hard resetting it so often can damage my tablet or not.
It's running on Android 4.0.3 currently
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Had the same problem or know what I can do to fix this?
If this is an unique case will it be covered under manufacturers warranty?
I get a blank screen randomly (can only see the wallpaper ). Not sure what the trigger is, but I don't lose all functionality. I can still use the multitasking button to run the apps that pop up and the back and home buttons still work.
Basically everything works except the launcher screens.
I am yet to find what causes this, but only a reset returns it back to normal.
Very annoying.

Sounds like a launcher problem. An easy fix may be to just try a new launcher. Go Apex or Nova launcher. ADW and GO Launcher are also options. Try one and if it persists, it's probably hardware related.
9.4.2.15? 9.4.2.21? Stock rom? Custom rom?

When you say go apex or nova launcher, is this an app I download from the play store?
I am technologically challenged so I really don't know much about tech terms, sorry.
@bk201, its 9.4.2.21 and I am not sure if its a stock rom or custom rom, how do I check this?
Ok I have a galaxy note i717. I have 2 problems that are absolutely horrible. One problem is if I recieve a phone call and have certain apps or games either open or were just open, my phone freezes. When I say freeze I mean all I hear is my ringtone, I have no way to answer, and my phone is a paper weight till I power cycle it, once I turn it back on I see no missed calls, and have no idea who called me. The other is I slide to unlock my phone and it is extreemely slow, I press a button and wait an average of about 3-5 seconds before it opens, and every button I push is just as slow, this problem seems random, but I think it has something to do with the other problem. I am right now running black jelly, it is not the rom as all the Jelly Bean Roms have this problem. One solution posted is to revert it to stock ics then have Samsung do the upgrade to Jelly Bean, then reroot it, same problem and did not change. I really want to get a good Jelly Bean rom that works for my i717. I can get any ICS Custom Rom to work correctly, so I will revert it just to get normal functionality, if no one knows how to fix this. This is the last thing I am going to try before reverting back to ICS. Any help is appreciated.

I am not an expert but I would suggest Downgrade to the Stock Rom 2.3.6 and then start from that process.

I may try that, ICS works fine, normally I just try it from there, may try from Gingerbread.

That made it much better I removed my screen saver, and also turned power saver mode off. After I changed that setting the phone worked correctly most of the time. It still runs slow sometimes, but I just turned power saving mode off, so we will see, thanks for the help, the ripple screen lock was doing something bad as it got much better when I removed it.
I tested my phone for a few days, it seems the phone call thing is fixed, thanks for the info about the ripple screen saver. Only problem I currently have is if I forget and leave my game running on a certain screen that is animated and it screen locks, when I unlock and start using the phone it is extreemely slow. A simple restart fixes it, and I am fine with that as my phone actually works correctly most of the time. I was researching the problem and the GPU settings may be the answer, but I have no idea what settings need to be set. One setting is Force GPU rendering ( use 2d hardware acceseration in applications) currently it is turned on. Was thinking also kill all background processes, I really don't know, Anyone out there an expert with GPU or how to finish tweeking my phone.
