Adw and go launcher bad lag? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

When switching pages on the app drawer and home screen, I notice horrible lag compared to the buttery smooth stock launcher. Is anyone else having this problem?

Install the super script with dags of kernal v2 and you won't notice the lag any more. Hopefully this helps.

Launcher pro and tsf shell are extremely smooth. I've read superscript doesn't do much to some people... idk for sure.

Where do you get super script?

What are some of your ADW desktop scrolling speed & bounce settings? Or do you leave it stock.

Go to GENERAL BEHAVIOR >SYSTEM PREFERENCES make sure to disable scrolling cache "DISABLE CACHE" that will help scroll fast on adw ex.. and nake sure your "PRESETS" are set to "FAST" . believe me this launcher is blazing fast on my phone ...help this works.. let us know ok...

TRansition effect NORNAL SCROLL and Set to the lowest values for bounce effect..it will disable bounce effect off,I believe you don't need any more animations as that will cause it less performance and more lag!

I find on stock note if you use a launcher and use crazy/high graphic transitions it will lag. Keep it simple and they don't. Unless you overclock.
Using GOlauncherEX myself. Stock...lag here and there.

don't know if this will help too but i use homescreen transition is cylinder
app drawer enter is zoom and exit is sphere

[Q] Slow app drawer

I've noticed that the stock Sense app drawer scrolls incredibly slow in the "All Apps" tab and isn't much better in the "Downloaded" tab. Compared to ADW EX it scrolls about as quickly as Verizon gets updates out. Has anyone else experienced this?
My Sense app drawer scrolls just fine.
I have tried both LPP+ & ADWLauncher EX in mine & while both work very well I didn't really notice any speed difference between any of them.

Absolutely! Especially when you use a live wallpaper. It's crawling at about 15FPS it looks like.
I've just decided to either stick with a static wallpaper in Sense, or use whatever I want to in GO Launcher and enjoy the high speed smooth scrolling
I guess I never noticed because I never saw the point in using a Live wallpaper.

I don't typically bother with LWP's either, but I like the ICS Phase Beam LWP, so I tried it out. It's not smooth enough though.
Hopefully having real ICS on this phone with hardware acceleration will help the app drawer to be smoother.
IDK how all that works though or if it effects all aspects of the visual experience or not.
Well, I'm not using a live wallpaper. Just wallpapers from my gallery. I wanted to give Sense a try and I do like it, but the reduced speed of the app drawer is enough to convince me to switch back to the speed & added functionality of ADW EX.
It's not slow, it's designed that way. It is meant to show one full slide at a time rather than flocking through all of them at once. It's just how sense is, you'll need ti install another launcher to change it.

Jim - Yes, I'm aware that it's set up to scroll. Thanks for the heads up on that for anyone who hadn't figured it out. However...
I fixed it. I was scrolling through the app drawer today and hit the "Menu" soft key. I found an option to display the drawer as an alphabetical list instead of an icon grid and now it's fast as can be! I also love the list because it's more readable. I know this might not work for everyone, but hey, it's better than waiting for one slow page after another, right?

Sweet, didn't realize you could show it as a list. Good find.

Why is my app drawer laggy on most launchers?

Rooted, oc to 1.83, supercharger 1000hp..only launcher with zero lag is TW.. Currently using Go with occasionally bearable lag on app drawer and general usage.
On all other launchers though (esp LPP which I'd like to use), the app drawer is very laggy on open and close, but and changing opening speed doesn't help. Everything else seems perfectly smooth with LPP, but the app drawer itself is frustratingly laggy and prevents me from using it.. Any advice?

Bad optimization, abstraction layers, visual complexity, the number of objects.on the screen...among other things, can all cause the sputtering and stuttering we love so much.
People just care too much about visuals and they'll keep buying and using stuff even if it doesn't perform well.
Btw. SPB Shell 3d didn't lag when i used it...anywhere. But its so funky and limited that i found myself back at the stock launcher...and quick.
Have you tried SS launcher?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Haven't tried ss.. I'm worried because everybody is reporting that LPP is perfect on ATT note, I and my app drawer is very laggy.. Not sure why mine is unique.. Everything else about launcher pro is buttery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
for me, when i use horizontal scrolling (left/right) in my app drawer, there is lag. when i switch to vertical scrolling (up/down) it is lag-free.
i use Zeam launcher.
That's strange--with these other launchers, I have very smooth operation EXCEPT for when the app drawer is opened.
Can someone comment on why there is such variation between i717's? anything we can do to rectify?
I use adw ex launcher......make sure you turn off all animations off in system.....and in launcher......turn off anything that maes visual effects.....I have 0 lag... try spare parts app...they have a couple good edits in there for turning transitons fast and faster scrolling options...also there is a build prop I believe max events should be 200....helps as well

Thats crazy, Launcher pro has 0 lag, and on a high end phone like this, no launcher should have lag at ALL!!
TSF works well no lag, sometimes it will reboot upon unlocking the screen which takes about 4-5 seconds. However there is 0 lag, and lots of eye candy, with updates HOPEFULLY on the way. The customer support is terrible though, I emailed them a few times with no reply to date.
Mine is stock not rooted.
I had good luck with ADWex with vertical drawer and transparent background.
TSF launcher is a bit wonky but ultra smooth. Hoping it gets some updates to make it really killer.
Edit-completely stock GNote still. No root, etc.

I've used the stock launcher, SPB Mobile Shell, ADW Ex, GoLauncher and Launcher Pro on my Note I717. I HATE to say it because I've been ADW for a long time, but Launcher Pro has minimal lag compared to the others. I'd say SPB was a close 2nd but you can't customize that one much. Try and you'll see, promise.

My app drawer is very laggy as well, and its jittery switching between home screens.
Coming from an Epic Touch GSII it is a bit tough putting up with the slower speeds even though I have overclocked. I decided to rebuild the phone from scratch, NOT restoring from titaniumat all and limiting the number of programs I installed. It HAS helped but it is still not as responsive as my GSII. I noitce that the memory on this phone gets eaten up and I often only have 40-50MB for running programs. On my GSII I seemed to always have over 120MB free easy. Without getting into the discussion of using app killers, I do notice that if I kill the apps the phone (app tray, home button etc) start responding more quickly. Side by side I also notice that the amount of memory available on the GSII vs Note when all apps are killed via Advanced Task killer is about 100 to 300MB less for me on the Note vs my Wife's stock skyrocket. Once Killed I am lucky to get over 250MB available where her skyrocket gets 497MB available. Not sure if there is anything I can do about that or if it is even related to the lag on the Note, but it is a pain for sure!
Still in my 30 days and I am Loving most things about the Note. However the Lag is heavy on my mind when I considor if I want this phone for the next 2 years.

Go launcher poll - reduce lag

Just wanted to take a poll.
IF YOU INSTALL GoLAUNCHER 2.85 beta2 and select "DEFAULT ICON" size does this eliminate your lag? i find my lag to be almost gone completely.
Depends which screen transaction effect is choosen.
With the default or chord screen transition effect it is smooth enough to use GoLauncher as my default launcher.
BUT try "Cylinder" and the lag is horrible and makes it unusable. This is strange cause my Samsune Infuse ran all GoLauncher effects extremely smooth?
And to your question ...yes I need the default icon size for GoLauncher to run smooth.

I use bounce on home screen with speed 35 and 0 elasticity... Extremely.smooth. 64mb VM HEAP

I have launcher pro and it runs smoother than go launcher on my Note. I used home manager and it shows that LP uses lesser kbs vs go launcher.

Apex launcher question??

I use/love apex launcher except for one thing.
Using it in my old Rezound was quite laggy, using it in the newer Galaxy Glll it is very fast and fluid 99% of the time. The one time it annoys me however is when it transitions from portrait to landscape. Making that swap, it kind of hesitates for a half a second or so before it makes the switch.
I have looked all through the menu/settings etc and can not find any way to speed this up. Does anybody know any way to eliminate this slight delay??
NOVA launcher is the way to to go! I always found Apex to be kinda laggy and unresponsive on a few devices. IMHO..

Other than the one setting, Apex is fast as hell on the Glll & I much prefer it to Nova.
I have tried every launcher there is at one time or another. If LauncherPro+ was still supported, that is what I would still be running.
Launcher pro was also my favorite. Did you know you can use the launcher pro M22-3D icon pack with Nova?

I can't find any settings in Apex either for you, but in Settings => Developer Options => Window animation scale and Transition animation scale, set them to 0.75x, it seems to speed it up just a tad, by rotating faster when it finally does...
Thanks, that does seem to help things a little bit.
I just use the default launcher for the s III. Works fine for me

Homescreen settings, default seems to be zero, maybe yours is different... But I thought that only affected scrolling between homescreens...

yea, the default is already set to zero & you're right that doesn't affect the speed that the transitions take effect anyway.

[TIP] Speed up your phone in just a few step

Helly guys, I have found some new feature in ICS that would benefit all of us.
Go to Settings > Developer option > backgroud process limit and set to 4 process limit at most. After set this I got 30mb extra free ram and find that my phone become even more snappier. After doing this repeatly, I can conform that it does. You have to set this after every reboot if the setting does not stick.
After flashing JJHybrid from using stock rom I felt the phone was buttery smooth, but on certain occasions for example when opening app drawer and toggling between apps the transition would stutter just a tiny bit. After playing with some setting, I get this smoothness.
Problem is solved if you go into Settings > developer options > and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale > change both of those to 0.5x (or 0 for both, for instant reactions). The phone now runs like a beast it was born to be. Like you first get this phone like on GB.
Also change your launcher to Holo Launcher HD (or find this on Play Store) instead of trebuchet launcher. This launcher is based on Jelly Bean launcher source code that give you real smoothness like on Jelly Bean. Try it yourself.
Give your feedback and if you find that this post may help you, hit thank button.
