[Q] Desktop visualizer - slow screen update - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Galaxy Tab 10.1, ADW EX launcher:
using "desktop visualizer" to make custom icons I can see the icons update very slow/lag on screen rotate (also when turning the screen on).
Anyone have a solution for this, or other app to make custom icons on the desktop?

Anyone?

I locked my screen so it doesn't rotate, only my browser and apps rotate. Not really a solution but at least my tab never looks messed up.

[Q] widget locker

Hello
Using widget locker latest version with cm 7 nightly 28 and when enabled both lockscreens show up all the time..also have it on my desire so I mirrored the settings to no avail, anyone any suggestions?

If i understand your problem correctly, you need to enable Widget Locker Helper in settings. That should solve problem.
Get a app called no lock on market. Install it then open n enable then u should only have one lock screen

if you're on cm7 you dont have to do anything, just enable the 5 root bypass rule in widget locker.
I've done the widget locker settings daddy spud I'm not using extra apps when I know widgetlocker can do it. I'll go to latest nightly with full format hope it sorts it!

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.

good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...

using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..

It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.

I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.
The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.

Lock Screen Replacement

I'm using widget locker with honeycomb theme and was wondering if there is a way to replace the stock lock screen with this one due to a few force closes making it revert to stock lock screen.

I used MagiLocker for a little while, but it seemed a little laggy to me.

I use WidgetLocket too with the ICS theme, and haven't had it force close once. It has worked perfectly for me so far. Maybe trying reinstalling it? Are you rooted or running mostly stock?
I'n rooted running adw ex with the snowball mod. I was wantint to replae stock lockscreen and not just have an overlay. Just seems like it would run better.

I find that with both widget locker and go launcher, that even if I have links to the apps copied to the system/app folder, my clock widget (fancy widget) loses the skin definition and needs to be reapplied.
Otherwise, things work fine.
Do you think putting a link to fancy widget in system/app would fix the clock skin issue?
Don't know if this would work but on my phone I use NoLock to disable the stock and Go Locker as a replacement. Might be worth a try.
There is a setting in the widget locker settings to disable stock lock screen. Can't remember where it is right now in the settings tho.
As far as the widgets disappearing after reboot, I have the same issue and haven't found a way to fix it yet.

If you want them not to lose configuration you have to move them from datt/app
to system/app and there you should give them full permissions. That has solved my problem with widgets in Go launcher

5 horizontal icons on home screen

Have been using Ollo for some time and really like the 5 horizontal icons on home screen and app drawer. Now want to try an alternative rom but would like this feature. I know I can use TW UX for the app drawer but what about the home screen?
Tried asking on the Ollo forum but guess the Dev didn't want to share how he did it, which is fair enough.
Could it be dpi related?
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

changing dpi might work yes.
in nova launcher you can choose the ammount of rows and kolomns of your homescreens and dock. But not for app drawer, but changing dpi of the launcher might work
Thanks for the input I should have also said I would prefer to stay with TW

App drawer change from screen flipping to verticle scroll.

Is it possible to write a mod or app that would change the app drawers current flipping from screen to screen action, to a continuious verticle scroll? I know that go launcher ex does this, but I actually like HTC Sense this time around so I'm trying to avoid that.
