Jokes apart, nice tip, but please also mention the con, that it will consume significantly more battery power.

I just use apex, it's probably the smoothest launcher for this phone, no bugs, more customization features compared to the other third party launchers out there, such as, nova, bazooka, trebuchet etc etc.
No lags found on this launcher either, been trying it for a week no major battery usage either, fully functional.

I hate Touchwiz 5, IMO it's gone the same way as Sense 3 did. It's too bloated and heavy, full of unneccesary textures, animations and tweaks.
Touchwiz is great, it has a great dialer and phone app.
The widgets are nice and they all work very well. Custom launchers are a joke.
Just buy a GNex already and stop complaining.
I went from the old Energy April Release to Quicksense 7.0. I must say Quicksense is fast! Even scored higher on Quadrant. And audio is good! Reason I left Energy was because I had a few minor glitches, mainly in the BT.
Cons though... mainly for me, Leedroid, doesn't have it. I like my 5x5 icons, I like my battery bar on top, and a few other minor things I can do with Energy rom. Another con for me, I can't enable sound effect for the weather, weather widget crashes every time. ;/
The new energy rom just came out and I plan to try it out! Waiting for the download.
I was just curious what you guys prefer and why?
I don't do quadrants..... But quick sense is the best rom I've ever felt on the Amaze on either OS when it comes to performance...
I also liked CapRomCE a ton too...

Oh... lol. That sounds really great. I would give it a try right away.
I literally thought you are using stock ROM at the moment (your signature).
I had 1 major issues and 1 minor issues with Quicksense.
Major is was that I could not get music to play through BT using my car's stereo. It would just go through the phone's speaker, even when told it to use my car. My minor issue, I need my 5x5 drawer lol. I love that!
Does anyone know if Energy is based on 2.14.531.3?

Im now running the new quicksense or quickdroid 8.0 and this roms seems soopa fast or smooth. Ive had good battery life with quicksense 7.0 so im waiting to see how this new version pans out. the best battery life ive had was with eclipzeRemix's Super Sayain rom.

Mine miltitasks ok but there is this issue of the browser reloading pages when you go back to it. Which can be a problem if you were writing something, or filling out a form, for example. In that case when you go back to the browser you have to start over. Not good.

CM10 just moments ago fixed video, so nothing major is broken anymore. I think the video is only standard def right now, but I bet HD video is coming within a few days. That was really the last thing needing major fixing honestly. I can't link you to CM10 unfortunately. Go to CM9 thread and look at page 149.

As stated, Mean Rom multitasking is not fixed just came off of 3.0 . Always read the OP's it will b stated in the change log.

Well the release notes include the following statement: "Multitasking improvements to reduce background task killing," thus the question.
Good call. It is not fixed though, only slightly improved. Your browser pages will absolutely still reload, so forms partially completed will be gone.

Thanks Dan, so is the page reloading issue solved in CM10?
Absolutely perfect in CM10, or any AOSP ROM (to my knowledge). That's the way it was designed to work - HTC are the ones who went and screwed it all up.

Well I downloaded it, and I guess I will try it.
Only issue is that the HTC keyboards are THE BEST - for me anyway. No matter what other keyboard I try, I end up backing up and retyping so many times it's maddening...

Dude... SwiftKey 3 is the greatest keyboard in existence. Bar none. Get the free trial and you'll never go back.
I can type like every letter of a word wrong and it still correctly guesses my word. The algorithms it uses are incredible. Plus, you can swipe back across the keyboard to delete words! Awesome feature.
Thank me later. Go enjoy.

I'm going back and forth between these two as there are things I like about both.
One thing I have read is that ICS is more ram intensive, and thus certain apps might run a bit faster under Gingerbread.
Performance is the main thing I care about so I'd like to know if this is true and I would like to know your general opinions on ICS compared to Gingerbread
as well ....
Thoughts?

Man ... things are really touchy around here. Maybe I just have brain damage (quite possible) but I don't remember having to walk on eggshells quite so much back in the Tmobile Galaxy S XDA forum ...
Okay I changed it to "compared to" instead of "vs" in the body of my post ... is that less "inflammatory?"
Why would people get upset about picking one OS over the other? It's not like you designed the damn things. What's wrong with asking which one you think is faster for memory intensive apps? I'm not trolling. I just don't get it.

I agree completely that ics in general looks much better than gb. I like the feel of it better too, for lack of a better word. But since I use Launcher Pro it doesn't make that much difference what the UI looks like for me. I have noticed that some games are sluggish with ics or do not run at all, but that could be more of an issue on the game developers end, I guess ... Do you have any issues connecting your phone to a computer with ics? The process seems much more cumbersome than with gb--with gb I just plug in a USB cable and tap mass storage and that is it.
Went to stock gingerbread from jb. Gingerbread is very smooth. Only thing i miss from ics/ jb is task manager and full screen browser (stock browser)
This thread is pointless, no offense meant, because of the following:

Only thing I've suffered from is a bit of mem leak... a reboot a day solves that, sometimes two. This guy is being killed by mem leak. Why is it different? Each phone is different just like each grape on a vine is different.
Different views, different experience, same phone, same ROM.
The same things can be said for ICS vs GB. Different issues, different opinions, same phone, same ROM. Let's not forget that I may FULL wipe and run the kernel cleaning script before each flash and someone else may just wipe cache and dalvik. That right there is enough for one of us to have a problem the other doesn't. Let's not forget about the different tweaks you can do which add even MORE variables to why one ROM or kernel may run better for you than me... even on the same settings.
This was my "nice" response.

GB. I believe it offers the best experience for our device. I've been on ICS for a while and the only thing holding me is the beautiful UI changes in AOSP. So far, it's been enough to keep me put. I doubt most people care about it that much though.

Eh, as much as I love Android, I cannot agree with you here. Gingerbread was pretty bad. ICS was much better, but not the iPhone better. Sense on ICS made things better, but still you could see slowdowns here and there. But CM10 and now official JB update made it very pleasant, fast, responsive experience.
But my Transformer Prime on JB is still jerky, and definitely not as smooth as my iPad 2.
Stock browser felt faster than chrome too. Flash still works in it too.
