The only smooth launcher is motorolas own launcher, every single market launcher is unsmooth when scrolling, is this true for everybody else? Does anybody else know a launcher which would scroll smoothly on our razrs?
Launcher Pro works flawlessly, before and after updating.

Yes horizontal scrolls are lagging for me
I use go launcher ex and it is smooth as silk. Blows every other phone I've ever had away. Makes my GF's DX feel ten years old, and even my DX2 is slow in comparison.
Using Launcher2, the stock Android Gingerbread. Seem OK to me. The default Motoblur also OK and not bad at all.
I am not picky about the smoothness of the icons' scrolling, just what one of my iOS fan friends told me. The overall system performance, reception and stability are more important than menu scrolling. IMHO.
Thank you.
If you want smoothness then you should go for a WindowsPhone, but ADW Launcher is coming close. In fact, even launcher pro has been running very smooth on the Razr so maybe there are some settings you've missed?
Go launcher, ADW and launcher pro all work smooth for me. Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are flawless.

Bulletproof your launcher. Google it. Involves using terminal.
Makes it buttery smooth. I do it to every phone/launcher I touch.

Yes I noticed laggy Launcher... I use 360 Launcher beta 1.2 (the best launcher ever)
He works smooth on my HTC Desire HD

I believe ADW is so smooth due to the fact it uses harware accelerators. Go Launcher simply runs off the phones RAM so it can become laggy at times.

Pretty sure Ander Webs said hardware acceleration is not utilized as it breaks backwards compatibility. That's close to quotable. It was on Google+. He wants to use it but to fully upgrade ADW it would have to be a separate app.
Again guys, use the terminal suggestion I mentioned. Works wonders. Takes away redraws as well.

It works for all launchers. Makes a significant improvement in stock blur. Trust me.

^^Thanks, Ill have to give that a try
I run adwex and its always been my launcher of choice but it does hang up at times and gives a unresponsive screen at times also. I also don't think it likes to play nice with the moto launcher periodically as i get com.home.motorola fc's a lot with it running,don't know if anyone else has had that happen...maybe just my device. Still, it isn't a problem I can't live with just occasional nuisance.

Well, on anderwebs website it says "Use of hardware acceleration on specific features when possible."
Not sure if that means it device specific or what, but all the websites I usually read from even report ADW uses it.
and this was listed under the latest update too

I'll have to find the Google+ article and link it. I read your link though. That sounds very vague though, almost like he's covering his you know.
He almost sounded frustrated in the post I'm referring to. Now I have to find it. Lol.
But I do agree with a lot of you, ADW is the best. New update was nice too. But use that trick I mentioned. It'll make it better

Yeah definitely if you can find it post it. I would LIKE to believe what dev's claim but sometimes it can too good to be true.
I haven't rooted my razr yet, I did my bionic and my other droids. Not having a fastboot in case I get into trouble was a little bit of a turn off. I know there is a process but it sounds like a pain.

It's just as easy as the bionic man. Put Safestrap on afterwards, make a backup immediately, and you're fine. Safestrap is a wonderful safety net. Boots into recovery everytime. As long as you make that stock backup you're good.
I can help if needed.

You will have to scroll down through the comments to find Ander Webb. However, it's a great read, so I would recommend reading the entire article and all of the comments.
EDIT: Here is his quote: "This is a great post, I wish 99% users would read and understand it. But unluckily they just want their hardware acceleration turned on and the magic powers of it doing everything fly.
On a more technical note, I've noticed how expensive canvas operations (save layer, porterduff filters, etc) run about 2-4 times faster in software layers than hardware layers, and noticed how great hardware layers perform when using drawing caches.
The bad part is: for a developer, usually there's no easy way of changing the rendering pipeline while maintaining backwards compatibility. So I end up still doing almost everything on a canvas and loosing the benefits of the hardware acceleration for new devices: (" --Ander Webbs (ADW creator)

^ This. Contact the devs.
Only 1 so far I have found that does not work is SPD Shell 3D. Says it has ICS support but no go on my prime. Already e-mailed the dev.
App support will require some ICS loving to be applied to the apps, and even though ICS is consistent throughout both phones and tablets they may still have to make tegra 3 and tablet customizations to their ICS variant. Since that was only released 8 hours ago give it a little time.
Has anyone had problems charging after update? Mine doesn't seem to charge ...

That is not, and has never been, a native feature of Android. It's only available in custom roms.

I believe that is an ICS problem with the way ICS reports screen res or something. It is a known issue with Swype and hopefully a beta will be available by the end of the month to address it..

Has anyone else noticed that while using the Swype keyboard it us not possible to enter numbers in payment fields on the internet?
Example: I go to transfer money from one bank account to another. Where I enter the dollar amount i can not input numbers unless I switch keyboards, but I can put in other characters.
This being said, I am able to enters numbers into other areas with my Swype keyboard "1234567890"...see? It works here, so why not where I'll actually use it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not a problem for me, but i'm on a custom ROM, so browser/android version/swype version is likely different. Are you rooted? Why note install the beta? It's probably more up to date than what you're using.
I uninstalled the version that came with the phone and downloaded the beta. It installed the tablet version of Swype, which had a different configuration and smaller keys in portrait mode.
I tested the issue you described and I don't have it. I can enter numbers fine in Ebay fields. The tablet version automatically switched to a number pad actually.
Yeah, I'm rooted and OCed thanks to DA_G's threads.
I think I'll try out the tablet version. Thanks guys.

Thanks, i like new swype beta, and yellow on it looks better than blue to me.
Just installed Swype beta but I think the keyboard is a bit too small for me. Any idea on how to get the non-tablet version?
So I'm running laytveyit v5 and have installed ubuntop according to the directions on the main post. Everything seemed to install fine and the phone runs really well. I'm just having some strange issues my searching isn't getting answers for.
Issue 1 is HDMI mirroring. It's worked properly once and I have no idea why. I plug in my cable and the atrix knows it's there and I select HDMI mirroring and that's as far as it gets. The tv just shows the screen as it was when I selected mirroring, nothing changes, just sits there, even rotates if I turn the phone. Any ideas on that?
Issue 2 is ubuntop loads and just has desktop and a blank phone view window. The menu/dock has never shoed up properly, but the phone view part also only worked one time and I have no idea why. Ideas for that one?
I apologize if these are easily fixed issues, I really have searched and found nothing that will help.
Apparently no one knows what's up here. Sad face.

When you plug the HDMI, there is a popup that lets you choose an action. You most likely checked the little check box in the popup which makes mirroring the default action.
Try clearing the cache for the HDMI picker. (don't know its exact name)

Hi, I have just purchased my new s3 2 days ago and I'm loving it.. Until now. It is a rooted s3 32gb running cm 10.1.3 stable.
Here's the problem, out of nowhere my s3 touch screen started playing up. The input lag is far greater than it was before and my keyboard has become really sluggish and slow. Also, the touchscreen will also do weird things like if I try and click on an app it flips to the next app page instead. I've tried different kernels, killed apps and fully optimised my device to 100% yet it's still the same. I even reflashed my room but still no change.
The strange thing is that the device still performs tasks flawlessly with no problems, it's just the touchscreen input that isn't doing what it should.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
