For those of you who are having issues with Launchers lagging or redrawing, try this. It worked for me.
I found this on Galaxy Note Intl forum.

Most launchers have a 'Force Launcher to stay in memory' setting. Not exactly sure where but I know for sure Go Launcher has this setting. Someone else will likely post where / how to get to the setting (or I will later today when Im not about to pass out).
Not all of us have root just yet so editing the build.prop isnt much of an option for us.

It is pretty well assumed if you are hanging out on xda you have rooted your phone at the very least. There has been a root method since before the phone was even officially released. So I am not sure who you are referring to.
Thanks for the tip OP.

A Nova Launcher representative responded with the following when asked for this functionality to be built in to their settings:
Those options stopped doing anything as of Gingerbread. Since Nova Launcher doesn’t support anything prior to ICS, much less Gingerbread, such options would serve no purpose.

The Go Launcher "System persistent" setting is in the Advanced settings. Don't know if it does anything or not? Can't tell.

I use Nemus launcher without a lag issue but it does re-draw sometimes. I'm am here to keep up with Note development and yes it is hard to resist modding with some cool options out there..but 3 out of 4 devices I have are "rooted" and one is not....this one. I think maybe some, like myself have waited to see official ICS for the Note drop. Meanwhile I get my flash-fix with the other 3!

I know by doing the build.prop change NOVA luancher runs way smoother. This tweak is also built into the noteworthy ROM. The difference is definitely noticeable.

One more thing ..make sure if your using adw ex..to disable scrolling cache....this helps with lag as well as all the rest of the good info posted here...
is there a reason why manufacturers or even launchers in vanilla android isn't default to stay in memory? launcher redraws just makes it feel and looked like a bug and ultimately deprive the user experience in my view.

lets see non rooting you can still get 1st ICS leak, 2nd ICS leak, install flipboard from the theme/apps section, Premium suite, learn more about your phone, ask questions you may have, learn tips, tricks, and fixes. Theres a lot more, but i think its enough to counter your argument.
i'm not rooted but have all the above mentioned and it has made a big difference. I have tried root several times and to be honest im happy the way it is right now and just tweak certain things i need for the time being. I dont have the time to constantly mess with my phone, so until the offical ICS is released i will probably stay unrooted

I am sure I have read posts re Alien and theme not working but cant find them.
Alien works great for me except that I cant get the theme to install (launch). Actually I run the installer form CWM and finishes OK (last version of CWM). I go by the rules. Unlocked, rooted, depeleated battery and recharging 100 %, install Alien, and reboot before the install the theme, clear data/factory defaults before starting everithing, use the Wipe Installer.... what else.. what can I do.. upon installing and rebooting it goes to the HOME launcher, not even the stock Gingerblur, so I have to get rid of that pice of crap
I swithed to Alien from Ronaldo´s ROM, wich is very straightforward and based on Kenn´s and also uses Alien script installer, so I don't have the slightest idea as to what I am doing wrong, missing, or if I am through a bug,
I would appreciate some good soul to help me.
Cheers !!

lag issues? i'm not familiar with blade buddy or that touch screen app for galaxy.
i haven't done anything *too* intensive on the phone but i have rarely experience any type of lag on this device. the lack of lagging has been very impressive to me.
if you are on the stock ROM and kernel and still experiecing lag, based on my personal experience, you might want to look into taking it back for an exchange as it could be a hardware issue.
if you don't experience the lag on a stock ROM and kernel, it might be whatever custom ROM or kernel you're using has an issue or bug. if you're on a custom ROM/kernel, also good to check in those specific threads to see if anybody else has reported a similar issue so the dev knows to look into it and resolve.
hope that helps!
Yea when I first got the phone the xda east major laggy and that's before I rooted so I guess I need to take it back then cuz this sucks...since I rooted its been flawless but couple days later the lag would come back and now my screen is becoming unresponsive at time for like 2-3 secs!!!

yea. as a last resort test, i'd flash everything back to stock and run it for a day. see if its still laggy. if it is still laggy, find good examples of when it lags so when you take it back, you can show the person how laggy it is through the examples.
hopefully you can swap out for a device w/no issues!

lol yea, given the unknown area rooting a device currently sits from a legal standpoint, i'd avoid anything related to rooting the device as a prime example.
ideally, if you're experiencing lag on the device, it will occur frequently in common tasks like making/ending a phone call or moving between text messages or moving between menus in the settings screen, etc. it makes the best case for having an issue when you're able to demonstrate it lags during normal routine operations.
hope that helps!

hah yea. working on mainly two small apps on the market, root check and flashimagegui. pondering publishing the completely stock ROM with root, busybox and some developer tools i use on my personal device (as I did publish this on the evo and it was decently popular - might be where you saw my name). also, trying to help out (give back) in the q&a boards when i can!
if you find some good common tasks which cause the device to lag, post them back here as people with the same or similar issues might find this thread through searching and it'll give them some rough benchmark to compare against.
i've yet to see this device lag through any common tasks i run. previous android phones ive had would experience lag so this device has definitely impressed me!

I went and read it. I wouldn't say what i'm experiencing is the same as what he described. Mine is fairly laggy when i type pretty fast with the keyboard or do some other random tasks. The whole thing isn't a giant lagfest though.
I've noticed the lag also. Especially in swiftkey x and ADW EX, it's pretty annoying. I'm about to return the rezound and get the nexus because this is disappointing. I'll try the factory reset anyway.

dude, why the HELL did you buy the rezound if you're just gonna mask up sense with ****ty ADW? like, seriously? why didn't you wait for the nexus in the first place if you just want to put some dumb launcher over it?
in every thread, you've been saying how you're returning it for a phone THAT HAS NO SPECIFIED RELEASE DATE. WE GET IT. do it already, go return your phone. don't need your negativity here.
either way, i get NO lag and i'm the fastest typer i know of all my friends with smartphones. i use the HTC keyboard and better keyboard.
also, i checked out the cache cleaner..works pretty well, you can clear ALL app cache, or just the cache of apps you never use. check it out, guys!

agree with everything you posted. I liked ADW but at least once a day it would get laggy. My wife and kids have sense on their phones and don't have lag. Curious what kind of apps this guy is running. That's a lot of RAM to use up.

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.

I like it. What app(s) did you use to achieve that look?
Love it...

Go launcher with simple text and bob clock. Ill send you a link when i get a minute with the total tutorial I found online.
Edit. Try this link. This guy has a great review of the Note as well. The set up he has is pretty decent. I prefer my screens in portrait. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c39PXAr9_F8&sns=em

THANKS! That was a spectacular video. I want to try that. However I worry a bit because in the comments to that video someone posted (only 3 hours ago) that Go Launcher updated its app and therefore its not possible to follow the tutorial. Not sure if that is true or not or if i could muddle my way through the tutorial but this is definitely a weekend project to try!!

My original post proves it works on the note 2. Running it now in fact. There hasn't been an update with go laucher since I set everything up so don't know what that post is about that you read. And the set up only takes about 30 minutes in my experience.
I just uninstalled go launcher and all necessary apps for this set up and reinstalled. No issues at all after following the tutorial again. Don't believe reviews or comments as they are filled with haters.
