Hey all,
I don't post on the forums alot but im a frequent reader, I'll start by saying thanks to all of the devs here who spend so much time making awesome software for our phones.
Anyway, the problem I'm having is when using launcher pro plus, there is a noticeable lag between when i swipe my finger and when the homescreens start sliding with swiping between homescreens. I'll move my finger about a half of an inch, and the homescreen will not move at all. Then, after a certain threshold, it will suddenly "pop" and be right under my finger. The lag ruins the overall fluid feeling of the rest of the launch.
I did a bunch of searching (on xda, launcher pro forms, and google) and found that this seems to be a common problem across many devices, but no one had a good answer on how to fix it. I'm currently running supra rom 1.2 on rooted evo 3d with the ginger thyparancey theme applied, although i have flashed many different roms with and without themes and an experience the same issue across all of them.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance
It happens to me a little bit, not quite as bad as yours
After some more playing around i think i've figured out how to solve the problem. Enabling the "Keep in memory" and "Motorola Droid Hack" options seem to correct the problem completely, and i haven't noticed any negative effects. Sometimes the launcher begins to slow down again after my phone has been on all day and i've been using a lot of apps, but doing a kill all from the memory manager under quick settings fixes it again. Seems like this may be an issue with other apps using up memory and launcher pro not taking priority over them.
random ideas:
add line to build.prop:
debug.sf.hw=1
Increase VM heap to 48-64m
In LPP settings, find the fling speed and set as fast as possible (does LPP have that? lol)
If you still have issues come ask in the d3rp thread
Hi guys,
I've been reading up about Ice-Cream Sandwich and apparently it will have face tracking abilities. I saw a pretty awesome demo yesterday on how face tracking can make for an amazing glasses free 3D interface so I've been thinking, maybe someone can implement this into a launcher to give Android a little more oomph in the eye-candy department?
My idea is this. I was looking at the animations on my MIUI setup and noticed how the icons on the next homescreen soft of float up from the back when you swipe through the homescreens.
Would it be possible to create a launcher that layers all you icons on top of each other, sort of like a 3D grid, with the icons ranging all the way from the top layer fully in focus, and the lower layers fading out into perspective. When you swipe the top layer to the right, it will go all the way to the bottom while the next layer floats into perspective with all the underlying layers shifting upwards as well.
The facetracking will give you a 3D view of the icons, so moving your head will in turn cause the viewing angle on the phone to change accordingly. I'm not a graphics artist so I cant really show you a diagram, but I can try and put something together if needed.
Does anyone think they could be able to create something like this?

Moving to Q&A
I'm not sure what triggers it, but my wallpaper will be full screen, then all of a sudden it'll just be a square in the middle, as in the sides get cut off, if I rotate it, it usually goes back to normal once it's horizontal again, but it randomly does this and it's driving me so crazy. It's rooted and I'm running Starburst... I've been searching for posts about this but I can't find anything, helpppp. SO annoying!
It doesn't seem to matter what launcher I'm using either.
Same problem for me... Any idea for fixing it ?
To be honest getting wallpaper set on this thing is way harder than it should be, I still haven't worked out a good way to do it. It just ends up cropped, or fugly, or both.
Way harder than it needs to be.
I can get a nice looking wallpaper cropped and everything, but when I'm doing things it randomly gets cut off and looks like crap.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah I just saw the same thing happen.
So how does everyone get wallpaper to show up without it being cropped? Do you need to download WP larger than 1280x800 so that it can be cropped down to that, or is there an app that'll do it? I've tried several but none seem to work.
I have a thread here discussing how you correctly size a wallpaper to fit your tablet.
So far I've worked out how to do it for ADW Launcher, which selects wallpapers the same way it does for Android phones but I need to look a bit more into TouchWiz.
Other than that there are a number of apps that offer you more control over your wallpapers.Firstly there's MultiPicture Live Wallpaper which allows you to set different images on each page of your homescreen.
Secondly there's Wallpaper for Tablets which lets you set a different landscape and portrait wallpaper and will correctly display a 1280x800 image without cropping.
Last, there's Wallpaper Wizardrii but the controls are really poor and it doesn't offer you anything that one or other of the first two apps I linked-to can't do.
Hello, been using xda for years but never posted as I've always worked out any issues or querys, through searching the forum for relevant threads and posts. But I've not found much on my latest search. So i have assumed it's not possible but on the off chance i thought i would see if there any of the cleaver guys on the forum could work out if it's possible or not.
Basically i have used apex launcher since its first release on all my devises except for on my s7300 which i have nova to see what the differences where. It's a great launcher and i can't really knock it. Except for how i like to set up my devices 9 home screens are quite limitations, don't get me wrong 9 screens will display a lot.
But I like to have a home screen dedicated to settings/optimising apps (set cpu, tb, rom tool box etc) a screen for social and media a couple of screens dedicated to android games, then I like to set up screens with short cuts to the top 50 ROMS for a specific console. So a screen of 50 short cuts for n64 roms, a screen for top 50 psx iso short cuts, snes, nes, ds and so on.
my query is is there any know mod available or would it be possible to mod the apk to allow more than the max 9 available screens? Or is anyone aware of another launcher which allows more than 9 home screens. I have assumed there is something stopping devs going above the magic 9 mark as that's where all the best launchers seem to have stopped.
If anyone has any insight on this it would be greatly appreciated, and Thank you for taking the time to read this
HI, folks!
For last week I've been googling around how to get rid of ugly icon background and frames on my new Droid device.
The trouble is that all app icons at the app screen and at desktop screen has that really ugly background color, that seems to be randomly choosed and a transparent frame (see the attached picture). You can see that on Opera, Skype and Navitel icons. In that case background is blue, but for DrWeb icon it's light gray. That makes my crazy! Moreover, it seems to resize icons to fit in this square frames and that makes it looks even more ugly.
After some search I came up for that it moor looks like an Launcher issue/settings. My devise is an OEM Chinese protected phone (more commonly known as Batl S09) and it seem to have Samsung TouchWiz, at least I have SamsungLauncher4.apk at /system/app/ folder and it's marked as Launcher 4.2.2-eng.wsl in Applicatin section in Settings.
Soo, as I'm very noob in Android hacking, I need help there.
same problem...
Hi Guys,
Very odd but seems like this problem doesn't occur many times. It is happening to me too and this thread is the only thing I found on the web on this topic.
Can anybody help as this is really a pain in the a**.
Thanks a lot!
i got the same problem, any solution so far?
