Helly guys, I have found some new feature in ICS that would benefit all of us.
Go to Settings > Developer option > backgroud process limit and set to 4 process limit at most. After set this I got 30mb extra free ram and find that my phone become even more snappier. After doing this repeatly, I can conform that it does. You have to set this after every reboot if the setting does not stick.
After flashing JJHybrid from using stock rom I felt the phone was buttery smooth, but on certain occasions for example when opening app drawer and toggling between apps the transition would stutter just a tiny bit. After playing with some setting, I get this smoothness.
Problem is solved if you go into Settings > developer options > and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale > change both of those to 0.5x (or 0 for both, for instant reactions). The phone now runs like a beast it was born to be. Like you first get this phone like on GB.
Also change your launcher to Holo Launcher HD (or find this on Play Store) instead of trebuchet launcher. This launcher is based on Jelly Bean launcher source code that give you real smoothness like on Jelly Bean. Try it yourself.
Give your feedback and if you find that this post may help you, hit thank button.

When switching pages on the app drawer and home screen, I notice horrible lag compared to the buttery smooth stock launcher. Is anyone else having this problem?

Install the super script with dags of kernal v2 and you won't notice the lag any more. Hopefully this helps.
Launcher pro and tsf shell are extremely smooth. I've read superscript doesn't do much to some people... idk for sure.
Where do you get super script?

Go to GENERAL BEHAVIOR >SYSTEM PREFERENCES make sure to disable scrolling cache "DISABLE CACHE" that will help scroll fast on adw ex.. and nake sure your "PRESETS" are set to "FAST" . believe me this launcher is blazing fast on my phone ...help this works.. let us know ok...

TRansition effect NORNAL SCROLL and Set to the lowest values for bounce effect..it will disable bounce effect off,I believe you don't need any more animations as that will cause it less performance and more lag!
I find on stock note if you use a launcher and use crazy/high graphic transitions it will lag. Keep it simple and they don't. Unless you overclock.
Using GOlauncherEX myself. Stock...lag here and there.

app drawer enter is zoom and exit is sphere
try that...works for me after many hours of fiddling..lol
I have tried this on both my Razr ICS and my gf's Galaxy Note ICS and it works.
On both phones, they are pretty fast until you start to install stuff.
After applying these, the phone is much smoother even with around 200 user apps.
1) Use Autokiller memory optimisation, root needed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&hl=en
This is a common method which android veterans already know, which is to change android's internal autokill values. This is not the same as task killers!
On both phones, I use "aggressive" preset.
For other tweaks like V8 supercharger, it's recommended values are closed to autokiller's "Extreme".
I added more tweaks to the post.
2) Turn on Force GPU rendering under developers mode. Most games and apps seem to work fine with it on.
3) Turn on background process limit to 4: I thought this is interesting (from JerseyFF) so I tried it out, seem good for daily use.
(update: after a while setting for this will revert to standard, there's no way to fix this yet)
4) Use Nova launcher. (root required for Motorola widgets)
The default launcher is smooth but it likes to reload every now and then (even with default autokill values). Tried Apex launcher but it's not as smooth as default launcher. Nova launcher is close to the default launcher which allow more tweaks and and yet it is buttery smooth. Do not update to beta though. I tried it and it's a lagfest.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en
VM heap size app no longer works after ICS update. If anyone knows how to fix that, please share.
Feel free to add any more tweaks or tips to make RAZR ICS better.
Is this at all somehow related to the Background Process Limit that is able to be set under Developer Options with ICS now?
It has a Standard Limit setting, No background processes, and At most 1 (through 4) processes for options.
Does anyone know what the value for Standard is?
In background process limit, it limits a number of background apps running, while the autokill values limit the number of bg apps running based on the amount of memory left, and killing off lower priority processes first.
The default values for background process limit is therefore "varies".

Updated first post with more tweaks.
This is my favorite launcher. Smooth... I am using it since I got the RAZR.

Wow the auto killer is quite the find! Sped up my phone allot. Still running quite hot though
Thanks!
Thanks for the info, I'll confirm that upon bootup after applying the Aggressive setting, I tried scrolling around the Motoblur homescreen and thought it was smoother. But then the Superuser allowance for Autokiller kicked in right in the middle of me scrolling around and I noticed quite a difference in scrolling speed, it just suddenly got faster and smoother and the framerate looked as if it had increased by about 5 FPS. I also did tweaks #2 and 3 as well, but I think Autokiller makes the biggest difference. A good find for sure!

Use setcpu and create profiles to set cpu speed lower when screen off and when battery is overheating. There's a free, older ver on xda.
Also you can use juicedefender to make your 3g connection turn off when screen is off. This should also help keep your phone temp down when you're not using it. Note that it will turn itself on every few min to receive whatsapp, mms and emails etc. (not for whatsapp hoes)
Hi, thanks for your tips. I don't know what lag experience you experiment but I hope this works for my RAZR lags. What is happen to my RAZR is that when I enter to apps drawer, non of the icosns appear and instead the "loading circle" takes place until the apps appears. Also when I exit any app and go to home, none of the icons of widget appears, they take half second to reapper.

That's called redraw. Try using apex and there is an option for keeping the launcher in memory so it loads faster

When I first installed Nova launcher, it asks for root access when going into widgets.
Try going to Nova settings ->Drawer-> Check Widgets in drawer (requires root permissions for system app)
Moto widgets like fav. contacts doesn't work well because I can't "pull down"... but it's there, including Motocast widget.
You may want to manually grant Nova launcher root access.

This is why I'm using Nova launcher instead. There's a free version, do try it. It may still take a while to load the app drawer icons after playing a game, but the 'redraw' for Nova's desktop pages are pretty fast. I also liked how it switched to a tablet version when I'm using Webtop mode.
Do try Apex as well. I didn't like it as it felt laggy when I'm scrolling my desktop pages few months back. It may have improved now and many users are complimenting it. As for myself, I have already bought Nova Prime and I'm sticking to it.
I use/love apex launcher except for one thing.
Using it in my old Rezound was quite laggy, using it in the newer Galaxy Glll it is very fast and fluid 99% of the time. The one time it annoys me however is when it transitions from portrait to landscape. Making that swap, it kind of hesitates for a half a second or so before it makes the switch.
I have looked all through the menu/settings etc and can not find any way to speed this up. Does anybody know any way to eliminate this slight delay??
NOVA launcher is the way to to go! I always found Apex to be kinda laggy and unresponsive on a few devices. IMHO..

Other than the one setting, Apex is fast as hell on the Glll & I much prefer it to Nova.
I have tried every launcher there is at one time or another. If LauncherPro+ was still supported, that is what I would still be running.
Launcher pro was also my favorite. Did you know you can use the launcher pro M22-3D icon pack with Nova?

I can't find any settings in Apex either for you, but in Settings => Developer Options => Window animation scale and Transition animation scale, set them to 0.75x, it seems to speed it up just a tad, by rotating faster when it finally does...
Thanks, that does seem to help things a little bit.

yea, the default is already set to zero & you're right that doesn't affect the speed that the transitions take effect anyway.
Is there any way i can make my phone alot faster?
When i scroll trough home screens it always lags,i only have 6 maps and clock in one screen and twitter in other,but it stills glitches every time i scroll,i am using GO launcher.i have tried many launchers,but i cant find the one that wouldnt lag,is it possible that i have some problems with phone itself or is it just that this model is laggy?

Yes , GO launcher lags for me too. Its really very strange as I didnt have such issues on my old phone (desire). I think its just what you have to live with. Or use any other good launcher like apex or nova.
One thing you can do is to Report GO DEV TEAM to test desire x and optimize the launcher for it, and im pretty sure they'll figure something out.

i would suggest if u really want to make your phone a bit faster go to settings and disable all the stock transition animations though it is not practically visible the scrolling is a lot smoother and in my experience go launcher is quite heavy and its realy absurd people saying that apex or nova lags for them what i found that if u set it to default launcher and give it a minute its snappier then ever apex rocks for me i try all homescreen set ups on apex and nova and never i found a lag
If apex and nova lagging a lot for you, try to limit number of widgets on your screen. I'm using apex and I have no lag at all (only widget I using is uccw clock) rest is icons. Atm I'm using mihome because of kickass lockscreens

Is there any way to make the opening transition for apps smoother?
LG has the speed set so fast it makes the animations choppy .-.
Changing the settings in developer options only helps the animation when closing an app, not opening.

Try overclocking, changing the animation framework, or changing the animation speeds? Not quite sure what you're asking. If you're talking about launching an app from the launcher, the LG Home app launches ridiculously quick and it not as fluid as it should be. Try Nova (I know it's unoriginal, sorry)

I've tried using several different launchers, editing the framework with the framework changer on Google play, and looking for build.pro tweaks
I'm not sure if maybe I'm missing something, but none of these things make it as fluid as stock jellybean would be.
However if you've ever noticed, when you open settings from the home screen it opens as it should, fluildly.
Its not a life changing issue it's just annoying and sometimes makes the phone feel unoptimized.

Here in developer options, going higher is slower and smoother, going lower makes it fast and instant.
