Finally took the plunge and ran the update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3, really happy with it so far, although have noticed at times it is laggy (mostly at screen lock/unlock and app open/close), is there any fix for that? Im not rooted (and don't plan on rooting). It didn't lag in 2.2.1 like it does now

Nope, no live wallpaper. Using stock launcher (plan on switching to a 3rd party launcher at some point) with a normal wallpaper.

I would recommend zeam launcher then. It's quick and lightweight

Launcherpro is also good......and customisable....just kill background apps if they are not needed.....

Just switch to another launcher before you delete it
I wouldn't completely delete it, though so at least you have a fallback
Ok so iho does not come with a native launcher like asop?

No ADW is the "system" launcher of this rom.
IIRC in the rom thread there is a link to the stock launcher.
If thats what your looking for. Otherwise install another and just uninstall ADW dont delete it. Deleting it without uninstalling can cause problems.
Ok thanks I will look for the stock launcher
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA Premium App
What is the problem with ADW? I have been using it with IHO and don't see any problems with it. ADW is better than the stock launcher. If you don't want to use the additional features, you can configure just like the stock launcher. I would leave it alone instead of dealing with going back to stock launcher after every ROM update.
I personally don't have a problem with adw I jus wanted the feel to be as close as possible to gb

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.

I don't think it's possible.. I mean look at Gingerbread, nobody except for the Nexus S really had it..
Yeah there were lots of lookalikes on the market but nothing really had that smooth 3D app drawer.

Yeah but if you enter the app drawer you'll see it's lacking the smooth 3D effect that the real one has
NAAAAAAh thats wrong. On my Xperia Play the Gingerbread launcher is perfect, icons are not blurry at all and completly smooth, it is just perfect. Also GB Launcher and and ICS launcher are very differen. there is no 3d app drawer in ICS.
It can probably be ported to Gingerbread, but they are using some of the new Ice Cream Sandwich APIs so it is going to take some work. Some things like widget resize, widget preview and animation stuff are not available in Gingerbread so it might not be possible to port all functionality.
Hmmm thats not nice to hear. Anyway, even without widget priviw it would be awesome.

They both, doesn't give proper animation....

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

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

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.
