ICS interactive widgets pretty sluggish. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So all the interactive widgets which for example include scrolling are pretty sluggish for me. For example the social hub widget or the e-mail widget (or the one 2do includes). It feels a bit slow and is pretty stutter-ish. Is this normal or...?

scrollable widgets are mainly dependent of the launcher you use, so try using different launcher, that should solve your issue.

I don't want to use another launcher.. I just want to know wether this behaviour is normal or not..

No this behavior is not normal, they were working perfect on gingerbread, now they redraw themselves very often on ICS. I think they need updating to use ICS scrolling capabilities natively because so far they use the open source library from Launcher+.

Custom rom wipe and flash again .

Not a lot of ram in x10 so it becomes an issue..
What launcher are you using? Some have an option to set as memory persistent

Use a Launcher, with less RAM usage.
Also, widgets use a lot of RAM.
Zeam is a minimalistic launcher.

Strongly suggest searching for 360 launcher, installing it and using its built in lockscreen function with the Android 4.0 theme.
It is shockingly smooth and fast. Also you dont have to use 360 launcher as default, after enabling the lockscreen, you can use ADW or anything else

What do you mean? I find it the best upto now.. no lags and no freezing. Widgetlocker is fine but sucks up battery. Milocker is fine too but it lags. Golocker needs Go launcher to be used as default. So i stick with 360

Tablet Mode Mod --Q & A-- !!!!!!

I know he made the Mod for his Alpha ICS Rom, BUT it seems to work on most ICS builds so i am making its own Q&A thread so we can stay out of Noteworthy/Seraphim/Dags thread with questions strictly about this Mod.
so this will be for GENERAL QUESTIONS on this Mod from member to member.....what dpi are you running, are you having issues on a certain Rom, things you would like to tell others about your experiance with this Mod running on your phone.
Have at it Yall!!!!!
on my part i love the Mod, im on seraphim and have had NO ISSUES
Only issues I have are started in the OP, and fc's with Samsung camera deleting a picture and ICS camera switching to panoramic. Besides that running awesome on note worthy

im using adw ex, 4d scrolling app drawer, and it does 5 x however many apps you have, it scrolls real smooth too.
really liking the tablet mode, it gives the phone a whole defferent feel overall.
i dont have any market issues after loading another vending apk, no contacts issues, no FC's seems to be almost perfect on this end
thanks Dag

My only issues so far are, the stock browser crashes when opened (downloaded a different) a fc on one of the camera apps and I would really like my weather widget to fill more of the screen (resizing the app doesnt cut it)

That's what I meant by "resizing the widget doesn't cut it" I've already stretched it as much as I can with the widget resize feature...which is whats in my screen shot.

Best ROM?

I'm looking to switch from ICS-Crumble (it is AOKP based) I LOVE ROM Control. What ROM can offer similar customization? I want to use the Bluetooth patch, as well as working soft button backlights. (I have USA SGP 5.0) Should I use paranoid? What are its downsides? Opinionated replies are welcomed. Thank you.

I use paranoid..did not reset one single time..and its cool that you can combine phone or tablet us and change dpi for every single app and everything you see diferently with out even reseting...and there are themes and stuff rom is a winner in every way if you ask me..if only camera and hw working would be perfect.

+1 for the ParanoidAndroid... I came from CM9 (Jack's) which I had for a quite a long time... I tried a few other ICS roms but ended up back at CM9. But, once I loaded Parandroid, I was hooked... Very polished and quite stable. I am using Holo Launcher even though the stock launcher worked fine for me.
Good luck.
I am also using Paranoid. Very nice.
