Oh dude, search this in the X2 q themes and apps section. Can't remember who but an awesome theme ICS theme was found that featured ICS transitions and transparent menus.
I'll try to find the thread for you.

Here we go. The title of the thread says the theme is for CM7 but never discusses if that is the only rom it will work on. I'd give it a try regardless of which rom you are on just please make sure you nandroid backup before doing so.

Nice find. Thanks!
Hey, thats my thread. lol. That mod unfortunately wont do anything with Go Launcher since Go Launcher has its own built in transitions and it doesnt let you disable them. The only way to get it working with Go launcher is if the developers make it possible to disable transitions or add in ICS transitions of their own.

Exactly why I thanked you under your download link. This is a very cool find, although you have no idea where it came from, lol!
I wonder if a adw or launcher pro allow you to disable built in transitions. I've always wondered so many people like those launchers, this maybe part of the answer.

I know ADW does. I've never really used Launcher Pro.
Is it possible to do? I've gotten sense 4 multitasking on my nexus s so i was hoping it might be possible to get stock ics multitasking on my evo. I use multitasking a lot (even though its got its issues) but i prefer to see them in a list rather than swipe through each one.
people love to ***** about simple stuff lol
if you hate it so much return it
or wait for a AOSP rom like CM 9 or AOKP
dude, chill out. if youre gonna post such a negative response, why take out the time to post at all. smh. i love the phone.
I was wondering the same too. Sense 4 implementation looks more impressive and flashy for showing off to your friends but the stock ics implementation is much more usable.
The way you got the sense task switcher on another device, did it involve changing the framework?

hmm im not sure. an awesome developer over at the nexus s 4g thread made the mod. just flashed the zip and i was using sense 4 multitask. like you said, its cool to show off, but everyday use, i prefer stock (even though i enjoy most of sense)
It involves modification of the ROM's SystemUI. On the Nexus S, it was a matter of modifying the source code. On Sense 4, you're going to have to decompile and play with smali.

Sounds like your going to play with a little indian child.
The charmeleon rom from the dev forum apparently has the option to change the multitasking, as well as the lockscreen, back to AOSP style. I'm testing it out right now and both tweaks are good to go. The only thing that is different from my modded ViperROM is that recent apps isn't mapped to menu anymore as joelz made some changes and that became non-functional for now.

Which option is the multitasking option?
I'm shocked that HTC hasn't made an attempt to fix this screw up. Regardless if they did it on purpose. Ok great, got it. But that was a bad idea and should be fixed. The multitasking is so annoying. I'll find myself filling out a form, then switch apps, then try to go back to the form and it reloads the page and kills everything I've filled out. AAAAHHHHH!!! Same with like copying and pasting a password from one app to another... I tried to ignore the hype about this issue while we waiting to receive our phones, but in the end, it really does get in the way. Can't wait for a vanilla android ROM.
Also, from what I've heard, there's not a single person on the planet that's actually happy about this. So why the heck isn't HTC changing it to appease everyone? Noone wants your stupid multitasking feature HTC! Shame on you.
EDIT: It is a sick phone though!
Flash this rom and in the tweaks app you can change it to stock ics multitasking

That's just a ui change, it doesn't change the way multitasking actually works.
In order to fix multi-tasking, you have to adjust the memory values which Viper's ROM does. Then it works fine no matter which multi-task UI you use...

Hi, I just upgraded to ICS and I noticed that many of the new changes in ICS are not available or look different on GalaxyS2. Is this because of Touchwiz?
I also tried swiping along to get to the "widget" area, to no avail.
Also, I tried pinning a calender widget to one of my home screens, but it doesn't have the updated Google widget. It just has the Agenda widget. It has the "contacts" widget that looks like the updated ICS google version, but no cal.
What's up with this?
I'm new to Android so my apologies if these are no brainer questions.
Thanks!
Are you sure it actually updated? Go into Settings/About Phone and under "Android Version" what does it say? If it doesn't say 4.x.x then it didn't actually do the upgrade. Otherwise...IDK. lol

Lol...well i could say Google touchwiz, but not sure you would. The reason its different is because Samsung puts their own launcher on their phone that customized the look and feel of the phone and creates their vision of what your phone should look like. In short most around here agrees it sucks. If you want a more traditional look either download a new launcher like nova or start learning how to instal custom rooms.
Everyone get ready for a flood of these kinds of threads. Now we get to play clean up as the masses that for some ungodly reason updated via kies instead of downloading a cwm zip. Or waiting. Or not upgrading at all. I wouldn't care except now there's gonna be 50 bajillon new threads. Sigh.

For an ics look alike launcher you want either nova or apex in the market, both are good

Hey guys, I just got my S3 (I9300) 2 weeks ago and I love it. Very fast. But the thing that concerns me is that sometimes when I'm scrolling through home screens in touchwiz i see micro stutters in the transitions (like semi-lag but not fully lag, hopefully you guys know what I mean).
Is this normal?
I'm a little worried..
I am on the LF2 firmware. Completely stock, haven't rooted or installed any custom ROMS.
Is it the redraw? Theres a fix for that
Or the wallpaper scrolling? Fix for that too
Use the search function. Its really helpful, as is google search

Yes on TW, you can not do much about this. there SOME sammy roms Foxhound is one with the right kernel that got rid of the micro stutter on TW
but its TW not the phone or Rom!!!
most other launchers do not have this problem.

I just need to make sure this is not a faulty device/hardware issue.
Yes its the launcher mate. Seen this posted before.
As i said. Try nova launcher

Never noticed any stutter on the home screen scrolling I'm using stock LFB rom with speedmod kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
From my experience, every Android phone I have ever owned has had some degree of micro stuttering, and it has always bugged me. It's also interesting, because some people claim not to be able to perceive any stuttering, while others do, so it seems to be a very subjective matter.
I'm very happy to say, however, that the experimental builds of Jelly Bean have finally stopped 95% of this issue for me. I'm hopeful that once Samsung releases official Jelly Bean binaries we will see the remaining 5% gone too, but either way, I believe it is already smoother than any iOS device out there, which has generally been my baseline.
Edit: Changing launchers does help, but only on the home screen and app draw.
If you are using a live wallpaper try to change it as some LW are laggy.
Also try to check the services that are running in your background through setting-application manager. Maybe you have too many background processes
And lastly wait for jellybean update as this will make the UI interface super smooth cause by project butter of Google

It's no JUST TW. There is still some stuttering, even running CM9. Yes, the amount of stuttering is reduced, but the root cause is still at the heart of Android (pre JB anyway).
In all fairness you are right. But TW is the most noticeable, and moaned about lol

im on MiUi now, and again No Lag with the MiUi Launcher.
so yes i understand it happens, i saw the lag in Nova, and Apex, and Trabuchet ( or whatever )

Agreed, but the launcher is such a small aspect of the phone that it usually just annoyed me more, as it proved the hardware was capable, but that Android itself was slow!
Anyway, "project butter" has totally changed the experience, and will be a big draw card to iPhone users who were hesitant to switch in the past
Thank you all for your help!!
alright no matter what i do to this phone weather that be new kernel/ rom/ ruu update/ hboot/ recovery, it is so freaking laggy on every rom! ive tried so many sense roms, senseless, and CM9 and there all laggy! what the hell am i doing wrong!?!?!?! curently i restored from slim 1.9 and funky back to adrenaline and funky in my sig.... help please! its crazy irritating! in on latest hboot, latest recovery.

Give us an example of what you call lag.
Also, have you checked another rezound to verify that your performance is abnormal?
Install cpu usage monitor from play store and place their icons in the task bar. This will help you see if your CPU is maxing out when its supposed to.

No it could. Depending on what bg services Go has running. You can't expect a 1.5GHz proc to run 100 different processes and be butter. Like I said, Go was poorly written, but hey, at least its shiny.
Damn. Wouldn't think it would make that big of a difference. Owell. I guess I will be making a switch to launcher pro. Seems to be smoother off the box. Go was always.smooth as butter on my stock rezound. Well when it was stock LOL thanks for the help guys much appreciated!

I wouldn't use LauncherPro if you're running ICS. It was written for GB and hasn't been optimized for ICS yet. The homescreen is really smooth, but the App drawer lags a lot. If you're running ICS use Nova, Trebuchet, or Apex.
Or the new adw, its been rewritten and is really sick
Dude, you always have the worse experiences. Just do yourself a favor and install the stock deoxd global rom.....no lag and battery life will amaze you on STOCK.

On STOCK, you can make your own mods. I am pretty sure you didn't root your phone to acquire bugs and headaches. Besides, stock Rom is the smoothest 3.6 rom I have ever ran. It also has the best battery life I have ever gotten by far...
I just don't like any bugs. Just about every rom out has their share.

If nova is giving you some lag as it was for me, install Apex launcher 1.2.5. this is the smoothest version of it i have found, the newer updates are much slower. (this is all based of my personal rezound)
