I have ics and my home screen is constantly refreshing and it takes about 5 seconds for everything to pop-up. Same thing for my app tray. It didn't do this with GB. How can i fix this? Is there a ROM that i can use but still keep the blur stuff? I'd rather just stick with sick ROM if possible. I've tried resetting my phone daily but that isn't the problem. I posted pictures of my app tray and home screen.
Thanks in advance! !

Use apex launcher and set it to stay in memory under advanced

Is it similar to stock launcher?

Mess around with the settings within the app. Menu-apex settings. Try turning off transitions for example. Same thing helps if u disable transitions from developer options in normal settings

I tried Apex, didn't like the lag.
I am using NOVA instead. Looks the same as stock ICS launcher, yet buttery smooth.
For more tweaks on making ICS smoother, try these:

I'm not looking for thanks.

Check your free memory. This normally happens when your launcher gets thrown out to make space. Maybe get rid of some bloat.
Edit: Another option could be raising the memory limits to throw out apps earlier (hopefully not the launcher, lol, but apparently that gets kinda elevated treatment).

As of other launchers, I had the best experience with stock launcher, smoothest of the pack...

I get these every once in a awhile to. I think its due to the launcher needing more memory. It seems to happen when I am doing many things at once so I would assume its just running out of ram to use

Overlapping menu text

I'm running cm7 1.6.1 on t'bolt and I'm noticing when I go into sub menus instead of switching, it overlaps. I'm also running animod but not sure if that's the cause, because it didn't always do that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that you changed the default fonts to something of your own liking and that the font is most likely to blame...
Agreed. It definitely looks like fontface and size were changed which is causing the overlaps.
Thanks for the reply guys but what I meant was if I do menu>settings>adwlauncher>uisettings.....the menu that would come up, appears on top of "uisettings"(for example) I added a clearer pic. These are two screens showing at the same time.

Revert to the default fonts and see if it continues to happen on this menu too.
Did you ask the same question in this ROM's thread (in the development section) ?
Yeah I tried that but it didn't work. Don't have enough post yet to post in development. It won't let me.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I would say it's a problem with "animod" or your settings. I assume animod modifies animations or transitions which is probably what caused your problem when going from one menu to the next. It's definitely not a CM problem though. Try removing animod, restoring to a backup prior to animod changes, or wipe and flash CM...problem will probably vanish.
Ok well after a full wipe and flash. I found out animod wasnt the problem it was the epic bold and blue theme I was using from the theme chooser. Which sucks cuz it was the best blue theme. Thanks for all the help.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Yea, whenever you have a problem...always mention if you've themed anything. I have never used (or heard of) animod so that was the likely candidate to me since I wasn't sure exactly what all you did with it or what it does and you didn't mention themeing.
Either way, glad you figured it out.
Heh, I did a quick Google search for 'animod' and only got stuff related to anime cartoon stuff !

tried your apk on pikachu rom , it gave me parsing error.
I'm using it now, I believe its still in a beta form or something. When you lock the phone you actually have to unlock it twice because it still gives you the both lock screens. But the op is in the general section

Yes sometimes unlock twice but i feel this is the best i seen till now.. I uninstalled Apex launcher.. Its actually for non MIUI roms.
It only supports of ICS 4.0 roms..
Look at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622615
@Baba this is for CM7 and others (MIUI Launcher) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220695
I tried this too but i dint liked it compared to above ICS MIUI Home Launcher..
Hope you guys liked it

That's because you have two lockscreens enabled. Either disable the CM9 lockscreen (settings/security/lockscreen) or disable MiHome Lockscreen (in MiHome settings). Other than that, it works great on CM9---Moto Bravo Quarx CM9 2012\05\06.
I think its a nice launcher.

Wanam Lidroid 15 Toggle Mod request

Hello I am not sure if this is right place to ask but here goes.
I am using DXLJ2 Novena Alliance Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014135 and I believe that it has the Wanam Lidroid 15 Toggle Mod baked in.
Wondering if it would be possible for the 15 toggles to have links to other apps besides the flashlight?
Apps I find myself using on a semi consistent basis are screen filter, hovernote, aircalc, and calendar but it would be great to link to any app installed.

I think I know what you desire, only I haven't seen anything like that in the notification window.
However! There is something you might be interested in. In the new releases it's called pie. There's third party apps you can install now though. Check out this app called pie and this forum post called LMT. You should be able to install one of those and you can set the triggers or gestures to open various apps!
I hope that helps ya out a little.
Thanks for the reply! I have yet to try pie, I think I would have to use a different launcher, other than nova to enable pie control?
I am tempted to try it, as my current setup is nice but I running around 600MB of RAM out of 720MB

and am constantly clearing the cache to improve performance. I found turning off background processes, setting limit to none, as well as forcing graphics acceleration helps considerably.
On my next set of days off, think I will do a refresh and give LMT a try.

Best lockscreen app on JB?

Hi guys
Just got ahold of a superb white XT910 which I love to bits. However, the default Motoblur overlay seems a little bit dated to me or am I the only one?
As far as the laucnher itself, Apex pro and Nova prime seem to get the consensus on xda. What about lockscreen apps though? Found a bunch of apps that could get the job done and make the lockscreen look better. I was wondering what you gents and ladies who are running JB on the Razr had to say about them.
WidgetLocker would be my prime choice - Holo locker a close second. However before jumping the gun and buying WidgetLocker, I would like to know if it works well with JB : does it run well and not conflict with the stock launcher? Is it responsive enough? how energy efficient is it?
Any input about any other lockscreen app would also be much appreciated :angel:

How I wish I could have the white one, I can't find any white body replacement kit here in India. Can anybody help me get it?
Yeah the white one looks quite the part mate. Got it rather cheap too, i'm definitely pumped up about this phone ! Need to get some stuff sorted and then it'll be absolutely perfect :victory:
Alright so a couple pics for those who don't know what I'm on about :
WidgetLocker

Holo Locker
Alright, so I just went through the last couple pages from the WidgetLocker development thread, and it looks like the app hasn't received any major update for a long while now and people are having issues with it. Looks like I'll be giving Holo Locker a try, plus it's free so what the heck :silly:
You could give go locker a try,works pretty good for me,also free with lots of themes.

Thanks for your input mate. I considered Go Locker, however I'd rather use another launcher so that's why I did not mention it.

[Q] Qslide question

Currently running the Nocturnal 2.1 ROM.
On the SnowJB ROM, when you use QSlide while watching a video, it will open it in a little window and you are allowed to move that window all around the screen, resize it and use the transparency thing. However, on the Nocturnal ROM, it only allows me to change the transparency.. I can't move it or resize it. It's just stuck on the top half of the screen. Which is slightly annoying to me :/
Does anyone know how to bring over SnowJB's QSlide over to Nocturnal? I would just switch over to SnowJB, but my Wi-Fi keeps dropping out even though I'm 10 feet from my router.

the nocturnal rom is based off if the att jb update... snowjb is ported from international jb which has a way better qslide feature so nothing is wrong... just how it is...
you can try this though the system ui has the same qslide as snowjb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328662

Didn't work... Oh well, at least I know why QSlide acts differently on these 2 ROMs now. That was probably the most frustrating thing for me haha.
