Go Launcher Beta - HTC Rezound

Hey, I thought I'd share the link to the latest beta release for Go Launcher. Supports high resolution devices like ours. I have it installed right now and there's definitely a lot less lag than before - http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2011/12/go-launcher-v2-71-beta/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=go-launcher-v2-71-beta

Nice find. Any ics themes for it yet?
I'm living on a yellow submarine

Just updated. I dont notice any difference yet.

Same here. I'm getting the same lag.
The only launcher that gives me no lag on the Rezound is LauncherPro.
If someone has a launcher that is also lag free, by all means tell us about it, because i'm all about trying new stuff

I found another trick that might help. If you add debug.sf.hw=1 to your build.prop file it should make thing smoother.

I havent thought about using that on this phone yet, but im curious about your experiences with it.
It tells the phone to use the gpu (instead of cpu) to render the UI i believe, but I wonder if any artifacting will happen. And I'm curious how it affects the battery life.

Yeah I was kind of wary about it myself because there must have been a reason they had it off by default, but thus far I haven't had any hiccups.

[Q] Question about possible lag

Currently I have a Desire HD and overall Im very happy with it. However, whenever its updating itself ie weather, friend stream etc, in the background, there is noticeable lag in using the phone.
My question is, does this also happen with the SGS2? Im contemplating buying it if this phone has no such issue which my DHD does as its the only real blemish on a very good phone.
I know there are differences with sense vs touch wiz but Im sure there are equivalent widgets etc which also update in the background.
cheers
Probably some Femto or Atto lag.

Sorry, what?
Well maybe I was a bit harsh is describing the lag, it's more like Yocto lag.
i had some kind of lag in my old DHD, Was annoying tbh even flashing many roms it just didnt seem right so i moved on to better things (iphone4) and didnt look bk lol. i hope the SGS2 doesnt, from reveiws and people on here that have them it seems to work great!

Hopefully when you receive your new SGS2 you can report back on whether you encountered the same sort of lag as you noticed on your DHD . I only noticed the lag whenever I saw the little update icon appear in the top row of icons.
I'm writing from my SGS2. There is NO lag on this phone. Too fast, too furious dual core at 1.2ghz.what do you expect.the hardware is ahead of the software. NO lag even under heavy duty.

Haha, fair enough. However, it was just that looking at your sig it seemed you hadnt yet received your SGS2 and also considering you used to have a DHD such as I, I was hoping for your personal opinion.
I had gathered from many a post that it is blazingly fast, but just saying its fast is very subjective.
Anyways, so far it looks like its a winner and Im gonna need to buy one!

[Q] Now that there is root, was Sense really the slowdown?

I read, thread after thread, where people said that SenseUI was a huge slowdown for the benchmarks (Quadrant, NeoMark, etc) and that once the 3VO was rooted, it would be as fast as the Galaxy SII.
Now the root process is out and there are scripts to remove Sense. So, did the phone speed up at all or is the dual core Snapdragon just slow?
I'm past my 30 days, but I have had numerous issues with my phone. I am either going to swap it, or ask to just return it. Since the phone has this many issues, they usually will not care that I am at 33 days.
Anyway, I love HTC phones because of the hacking community, I loved my EVO4G and I like to think that the 3VO will get better with custom ROMs and kernels. But, if removing SenseUI and having root hasn't really improved performance, I may just skip this version and wait for the next EVO.
I don't care if it is as fast as the SGSII. I just want to see a good improvement.

I understand that. Yet, that is mostly when you are comparing two different phones. When using just a single phone, they can be a great tool for measuring performance changes.

I can't imagine what you consider fast. In my experience Samsung's phones always fall behind HTC in user experience speed, but do well with 3d acceleration

You go from saying it wasnt as fast.. to saying it had a bunch of issues to saying it wasn't fast enough again.
Do you honestly think the SG2 is going to be even noticeably faster without first watching a video of the 2 phones side by side?
No. I guarantee you wouldn't. But since you see a video of the SG2 loading 100th of a second faster....than gee whiz is this thing an abacus or what!

Even removing a lot of sense stuff all the sense framework is still there. Sense won't fully be removed until there's a cm7/aosp build out, which will take a little while.
Not to mention someone is gonna have a LOT of work to get 3d to work with aosp source.I'm guessing a lot won't care about that(I don't), but some will. I'm gonna start messing around with some.aosp stuff this weekend.
sense or not, rooted or not. This phone is still fast. Faster than my og evo i know that. If i want to appreciate my e3d and its speed, all i need to do is grab my niece phone (my old evo which i gave to her).
You can wait for a senseless rom, but dont forget that sense gives you a lot of convenient apps within. Any rom that i flash will be a sense rom on my e3d.
Wait until there are some custom kernels available for this phone.
I've been hearing that the second core acts more like a failover than a true dual core, where if the first core is maxed, then it can take threads make a difference. I'm sure every custom kernel will make use of it in more of a multithreaded manner, and then you might see some big improvements in both benchmarks and real world use.
Also, I'm eagerly awaiting SBC. On the 4VO with netarchy's SBC kernel, I could get 36 hours out of a charge if I wanted to. On this 4VO, I'm lucky if I get 6 with the same usage pattern.
I'd say the sweet spot for 4VO development came 7 or 8 months after release. It will take some time for the 3VO to get to that level, but it will.
On a side note, now that root is out of the bag, I'd like to personally extend my middle finger in HTC's direction. Shame on you for making it this difficult and opaque. Shame on you for having two faces.
Y does it matter if ur phone is faster than another there is always gonna be a faster phone an Samsung does a great job with the software on there phones it has Hardware acceleration in browser so browser wise it won't be faster an Samsung is just better honestly hardware wise :-/ but yea 3VO is still fast period

The SGSII is only brought into the equation because of the XDA forums. The phone is faster, yes. But, I am not going to get a Samsung phone. I only bring it up because it seems to be the "new benchmark" of phone performance.
My daughter has the Samsung Epic 4G. It has lag in some areas that my EVO4G never had. Although, it can do some serious graphics. So, I agree with you.

Ummm.. No. Reread the OP. I said that I've read that SenseUI was bogging down the phone and that I've read people saying that without it, the EVO3D will be just as fast. I then talk about my issues with the phone, and the options that I have. I then state that I care only to see an improvement in speed.
With my EVO4G, I ran CM7. I am looking at running it again and would like the best phone for CM7. I am not getting a SGSII, but I am looking at the Photon 4G.

Thanks. I get a lot of lag during browsing and I mostly use Wifi. Some pages go fast, while others take forever. Although, most of my apps use the default browser, Miren and Dolphin are the two I select the most.

Awesome info! Thank you. I don't know much about SenseUI and how deeply it is integrated. I wouldn't mind poking around with some AOSP myself.
I tried getting CM7 downloaded once. I went to the page with the source code and got lost in all of the forks. There were so many different repositories, I didn't know which to look at.
If you can shoot me a PM with some of the locations your pulling, I would be more than happy to give you a hand. I work as a developer, but have been on the same code base for the last 4 years. I've been wanting to play with Android for a while. I work mostly with Java, but I also do a little C and C#.

I do like a lot of the new features, but the weather app FCs on me a lot. I have also had it maxing my CPU quite a bit. I put an app on my phone called Watchdog, and it is alerting me when it gets over 40% now, so I can kill it.
I find that the swipe sensitivity is too high for switching home screens. A quick flick and the screens start spinning. I also get graphical screw-ups on the icons and widgets. I have also had the phone hang up for 30 - 45 seconds (estimated) when leaving an application. I am guessing it has to do with SenseUI refreshing.
I loved SenseUI on my EVO4G. I am not sure I am loving it on the 3VO. I wanted to because there are so many different ways to tweak it now. Although, I did get bored of Sense after a while and liked having all the different download options after moving to CM7.
Maybe there will be an optimized SenseUI ROM that I will like.

Ha! All kidding aside though. You did remind me of one of the features I liked about the EVO3D. It has both aGPS and GPS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
To everyone:
I guess those of you who are HTC fans or Samsung haters want to read more into this than it really is.
It really is simply that I am having issues with my 3VO. I can either return it and get a different phone or get another 3VO. If I get another 3VO, I'm glued to it for the next 11 months. That is, of course, unless they change Premier again.
I am just hoping that the performance improves with the root. Many of you are happy with its performance. I'm not. Maybe the other issues are causing the performance issues. Maybe they aren't. But, if I switch it out for another 3VO, I am stuck with it.
So, I thought I would ask the question in a forum of users, hackers and developers.
One thing I will have to admit, the ROM developers are running at full speed!
Anyway, a quick update. I went to the store and all they would do is reset my phone. This is after I told them I already reset it twice. So, I have to wait a few days and go back. Still having all of my issues.

qhd screen ghosting?

just curious if anyone has noticed this with the amaze? ive noticed that with some apps, particularly with fonts while scrolling, i get screen ghosting. it usually doesnt happen when im watching a video or playing a game, but when im scrolling thru my homescreens (using golauncher) my widgets will ghost a bit. pure news widget does it pretty bad while im scrolling up and down and mclock will do it as im scrolling between homescreens. havent noticed it too much with sense widgets/apps, but admittedly i dont use the sense launcher. thoughts?
Yep, I have this too. It's the thing where the moving parts seem to blur when in motion right?
I have it too ANNOYS the hell out of me. Then I got used. But when I do pay attention to it its hard not to notice until I put it in my pocket for a while again.

Yup, that's it. Its weird because it doesn't happen with every app. I usually notice it the most with text on screen. The letters become a deeper shade of whatever color they are. Its like it blurs, then as soon as I stop scrolling, they look normal again.
It buggs me too. I sincerely hope that issue is fixed in a future update

from what i know of ghosting, it has to do with the screens refresh rate, so im not sure (correct me if im wrong) that a software update will fix it. the fact that i never heard of this while doing my research prior to getting this phone, leads me to believe a few things; nobody notices it, not that many people have the issue, or nobody cares. either way, htc wouldnt recognize it as an issue, thus no fix.
I thought this was normal lol. I hope this is fixable.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA App
Maybe it is software based, I just got an Amaze and I don't see any ghosting while in motion.

stock rom does the same thing. if youve just gotten your phone, chances are you havent used it enough with a bunch of different apps to notice.
ive been doing a bit more research and have seen others notice the blur on different phones as well, some more noticeable than others. seems like there could be a few things that may cause this:
1. app is not optimized for qhd screen
2. anti-aliasing
3. bad screen
since in my experience i havent noticed it with every app (or maybe its less noticeable but still present), im leaning more towards number one. hopefully more people can chime in with their experience

what widgets do you have on your home screen?

Why, oh WHY is the rezound So laggy for a duel core phone?

i have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

duel core?
Also, coming from a 512mb phone that was also dual core this phone flies
its just the battery life that's ****
yeah that sounds like you just got a bad phone. I'm running new ICS leak, Rooted, desensed myself and whatnot, also put it into tablet mode and it flies like crazy! No overheating or bad battery life. Ya got yourself a lemon.

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating

its lags everytime ?

Mine does not do that at all.
I do a fair bit of texting all day & using Smart Keyboard Pro with vibration/popups on I get absolutely no lag whatever.
My phone will run weeks at a time without rebooting or freezing & I don't remember it ever FCing in any situation.

Ahh hrm maybe it's just the Sense 4.0 ROM's that Instagram may or may not work on....haven't run a 3.6 ROM in a long time
I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.

ICS OTA - not as smooth as GB?

I've been on this "new", official ICS for a few days now and seems that from the get go, it's been a bit more sluggish then before.
yes yes, reboot, battery pull, disable this, disable that, re-install, etc etc...
It just seems no matter what I try doing with itt, it just doesn't seem as smooth anymore.
Anyone else experiencing similar ?
Cause Verizon. Is there a reason why you're staying stock? I mean sense 3.6 is crap compared to 4.0. Plus any rom that has ultra smooth rosie pretty much will solve any issues w/ UI lag.
I think it's probably because most of us did a clean install, whereas everyone who got the OTA has a lot of crap left over from Gingerbread. I'd suggest backing up your data, then reboot to the bootloader and choose Factory Reset. This won't get rid of Gingerbread, just restore you to a clean OS. You can also try dialing *2767*3855#, which should offer to reset it for you without needing to go to the bootloader.
For the record, I've never had any problems with 3.6, but I hate the vertical scrolling app drawer. Also, once you go Ultrasmooth Rosie, you never go back.
edit: originally posted a different code but that one was wrong
it's a clean install.
also, i'm currently on 'stock' as this is now the 3rd replacement rezound i've gotten in the past few months(just got it last week).
going to test it out for awhile and see if it's still having the same issues as the others before I bother doing much with it.

also, i'm currently on 'stock' as this is now the 3rd replacement rezound i've gotten in the past few months(just got it last week).
going to test it out for awhile and see if it's still having the same issues as the others before I bother doing much with it.

I've been on this "new", official ICS for a few days now and seems that from the get go, it's been a bit more sluggish then before.
It just seems no matter what I try doing with itt, it just doesn't seem as smooth anymore.

That's two different things. Which is it? Slower (sluggish/latency) or not as smooth (jitter)? My experience is that ICS is faster, but just as smooth.
Most people don't mean two different things. He's just simply saying its not as fast as what he experienced in gb nothing more

Sorry for the ignorance but what does that do?
You can also speed up the appearance of your phone when using the stock Sense Launcher, for some reason HTC thinks it's cool to slow down the transitions and animations so they are more noticeable...
Go to Settings -> Developer Settings and select Window Animation Scale and Transition Animation Scale and set each one to "Animation Scale .5x" or "Animation Off", you should notice an improvement in the speed of the UI.

It's fine bro lol. It just uses your gpu instead of your cpu for more things like applications. Since its not having to work like your CPU it should make things a lot smoother.

I wasn't really having a problem as far as lag or jittering but, I did feel the window transitions were taking too long. I applied the changes suggested above and now it feels good. Thank you.

That's the first thing I do when I flash a ROM. The default settings make the UI just too slow.
