Is there anyway to add the 3d app draw to any Rom? Or does it have to be built into the Rom itself?
EDIT FOUND A WAY TO ADD THE 3D APP DRAW WITHOUT INSTALLING A SECOND LAUNCHER!

I don't know if you mean put a 3d app drawer in rosie, but ADW and LauncherPro both have the 3d app drawer. You can find it in their settings. Just download whichever one you want from the market. I personally use LauncherPro.
LP - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher
ADW - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
Yea i know you can have it with launcher pro, but its so annoying that you have 2 launch screens. When i click on my app button i want it to be the 3d gallery, not have to select the launcher. So yes i would want it in rosie.

Are you asking about the 3d app drawer or the 3d gallery?

3d app draw, that lp has. So when scrolling through the apps it looks like a 3d cube.
Oh ok, what do you mean by 2 launch screens? Yes you will have 2 launchers, but only 1 of them will be used. It's not like you have to use Sense, then launch LP. LP will just "replace" Sense.

I had lp one time thinking it would just add the 3d draw, but then every time i hit home button it would ask which home, sense or lp, and that got really annoying fast. Plus i like my home screen from virus rom, just want the 3d draw. Unless theres a way to do what im asking. Or maybe i would give lp or adw a try if i didnt have to pick the launcher every time i hit home.

Hit the home button, when the 2 choices pop up, check the box below that says "use as default" and then select LP.
Just check the box under the home selection to use this as default, then you won't get asked every time. Thought it was pretty self explanatory.

yea just saw that, however it wont let me apply my virus theme to it. I have a developer i know looking into it for me to see if he can turn the 3d app draw into a apk.
Just curious, how many you have installed?
Mine is 68 in Google play market and the total is 215 with Titanium Backup Display (include system apps.). Not sure that many of apps are slowing my Note down.
26 user apps, 169 total including system apps. I'm running TPC v2, Da_G's PC kernel @ 1.83 GHz, and all bloat removed. No lag whatsoever, my phone is fast as hell.

According to Appbrain..

Mine is stock rooted, I have no lag... I switched to Launcher Pro though, although I was kind of liking CheeseWhiz's launcher, it's not really that bad but the fact that folders in the apptray and folders in the launcher desktop were completely separate pissed me off.. In hindsight if I really wanted to use CheeseWhiz I could have just put all of the apps I want to hide in one folder and not otherwise had folders in the apptray, but I spent 30 minutes or so organizing apps in folders in my apptray only to find out you couldn't put those folder on the desktop then. WTF?
40 apps not more!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm using ADW EX for my launcher as well, which can do a lot for reducing lag if you have any. My phone didn't have lag anyways before I went away from stock, I just like being able to flash stuff and mess with my phone. Also, more importantly than the national increase in performance, rooting allows me to mod my phone's theme much more with custom status bar icons and such using UOT kitchen. Any reason you're staying stock?

No lag in ADW EX? You must have very few icons, folders, and Widgets on your device. I found ADW EX really jittery, especially with the fancy folders on. Even disabling that, it was jittery. I eventually just went back to Launcher Pro.
300+...been keeping since my Evo days
have try thousands but most are junk so i uninstall
just need one more app to make perfect.....that app that makes your camera flash when you receive a text or call....does anyone know of any that works for the note?

I only ever use one home screen with 5 apps and one minimalistic text widget. That being said, adding more screens and populating them did not show any lag still, and my app drawer is totally smooth and opens instantly as well. Who knows, maybe your device doesn't like ADW EX?
I don't like having more than one home screen, because I don't use a ton of widgets, and I only have a handful of apps I use often. everything else can go in my app drawer.

Im totally stock, non rooted and see no lag, have all the bloatware still in and have install about 6 more.
I have loads of apps installed. It doesn't seem to be slower bit both quadrant and antutu get slower results each time I add an app AND I definitely notice battery performance degrades as I add more apps.

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

Lockscreen shortcuts are the icons in the sense dock. Even if you are running nova it will pull them from the sense dock.

Yeah keep nova installed and just make sure sense is running... A little waste of memory, but with 2gb you'll never notice.

The only thing that sucks is that too change the shortcuts i have to enable sense to change them. Then switch back to nova.

With this you can remove Rosie and still have the shortcuts I think.

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.
same prob with htc one
i installed xposer installer and sense 5 tool box and everything was fine. but the next day i decided to re install my ARHD Rom to get rid of the mods had done before and then, my lockscreen apps were gone and widgets on lockscreen are not working...

I think you're in the wrong forum, the Droid DNA doesn't have an ARHD rom.
I just got a DNA coming from an s3. I don't know if its me but the phone just feels sluggish at times. For example when I close an app sometimes idyll close and then itll be a few seconds before ally icons pop up. I'm using nova launcher btw.
Just wondering if its just me. Is there anything I can do to fix??

I am using apex and love it. Im also running beastmode at 1.8 and its super smooth.
Coming from Sprint's network and the EVO Shift, this phone rocks stock. It's the first phone I don't feel the NEED to root (But I do want :victory: ). Smooth and fast and beautiful. But HTC Sense is a preference, and the camera is great. I forgot what I was saying...
I'd love to root but it has the latest software, boo!!!
I put sense on and its much better. I'll keep it this way til I get bored and I'll try something else.
Much faster though!!! Thx.

That's strange about nova and speed. I am currently running nova and its faster than sense for me. I am using viper Rom though so that may make the difference.

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

That does make it feel a little faster but i was saying that nova launcher made my phone unresponsive once.. The button clicks would take few seconds to register.... A reboot fixed it... Thank you. I am trying the faster setting and i like it
I tried adw but went back to nova cause I just am familiar with it.
I changed the settings to faster than light and its way better so far!!

Check if you have kill all apps when leaving in the developer options. This doesn't play nice with the launcher.

there is an option like that (dev options -> advanced -> "Don't keep activites") but i don't have that enabled...idk. i cleared cache with nova launcher and it oddly seems more responsive..
Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.

I'm running Nova and if you goto system settings under hide nav buttons in certain programs and chose your launcher it makes your home screen so much better/bigger.
Still using stock launcher.
I like it. The only thing I wish I could use would be the Google Now page, and reduce the number of homescreens I have.
Just make a "zoom out" motion with your fingers on the home screen.

I'm like you. I own pretty much every launcher I've found over the past years.
I own a few launchers, but I jump between Nova and Next launcher mostly. Next launcher is smoother to me though. I see stutters between screens on Nova once in a while. Especially after it sits a few minutes. Next launcher is smooth and fluid at all times.

Nova prime. Always. Lol. This mainly on aosp builds but I have on occasion messed with it on stock. There are usually some of the most updated tweaks with nova as they are loaded with extra settings. In fact many aren't aware of the advanced power tap extended advanced settings. Lol

In nova when your in the settings menu it says advanced. You scroll down and press volume up or down a couple times and it brings up more beta settings. Im sure its something close to be honest i havent used the deeper setting in over a year. So i may be off on how to access. But google it. Hidden settings in nova.
