Just out of curiosity... When installing this theme, it changes my lock screen image, and my menus are changed, however when I install my ADW launcher, it changes my desktop image and my icons go back to stock. Am I able to use ADW as a launcher, or do I have to use TW? And if I can, do I have to delete everything I have as far as backups on my launcher? I mean I uninstalled the launcher and reinstalled it with the rom and theme fresh, but still the same outcome... Help please.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Just use ADW and go into your settings and change the lock screen background and your wallpapers back to what you had before. As for the icons you can use any ADW theme to change the app icons to something that fits better.

I hope Im not misunderstanding your problem...

Personally im using GoLauncher at the moment with the "Classic Blue v1" theme and it looks sick ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Thanks for the feedback man. Which version/ROM are you using this on? Just so I can take a peek myself. I remember having this same error (Which is on my part, sorry) on the original versions for oct and val, but I thought it was cleared up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chemo420:
im running octane 3.0 tried flashing this theme and my phone boot loops tried evrything ive read so far no luck ive tried wiping cache and dalvik then flash , ive tried flashing octane then theme nd reboot, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
If you flash the rom then the theme at the same time it'll loop. Otherwise there is no reason it should loop as long as you down loaded the correct one for your rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chemo420:
Im sure I have the right version because when I flash it says bluetransv3

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Do u know I should do a factory reset and clear caches or just clear caches
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
hmm, yeah i would clean flash a new copy of oct v3, boot up, let it sit for ten minutes, then boot to recovery and flash just the theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
Yep, same thing happened to me, you need to flash the ROM and theme separately. Heres the status bar issue i was talking about, in Market and also in my radio app. It also looks like the 'swirls' are not filling up the progress bar with the dark blue area at the top of each bar. With the other progress bars, you could just make them matching blue if you did not want to repeat the swirls. Im using valhalla final. Though ill probably switch to the new Octane when its done.

I have to say i like the new loading pinwheel. It looks like two blue sperm. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Yeah that's exactly the way it used to be, guess i never got around to fixing it in all versions :x I'll patch that up real quick when i get near a computer.

About the spinners, LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] magda623:
I'll try GoLauncher. As for the wallpapers... I want the ones that come with the theme. But when I reinstall ADW, It goes back to what I had previous to installing the theme. The theme is awesome. And if I don't install ADW, the theme is fully intact. I've just gotten used to ADW Pro. Its no biggie. Thanks bro.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
I have a live wallpaper on, but it still shouldnt be that laggy. My sensation could handle a lot that was thrown at it without being all that laggy. Even with live wallpaper off it's a little laggy. Keyboard in landscape mode? Laggy. Swipe from one home screen to another? Laggy.

Any fix for this!? I just can't wait until CM9 now to fix all this stuff!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeyklatzko:
I don't know man. I came from a Sensation (running CyanogenMod 7) and the Nexus blows it out of the water in terms of speed and smoothness...and the Sensation was pretty ****in' fast running stock Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
Well I still think my Nexus is better. I love it to death! But the sudden lag kind of kills it. I don't know what the deal is either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bblanski:
I read some of the live wallpapers are laggy but not all of them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berglh:
Hi monkey hung

I too noticed some laggyness to begin with the Live Wallpaper turned on. Sounds like your last phone was an iPhone 4? :P

I've been playing around with settings and have a few concepts on what might be going on:

1. First of all, under: Settings > Developer Options, there is a setting called "force GPU rendering". I haven't tried this with the Live Wallpaper on yet, but perhaps this might help the 2D UI laggyness? Let me know what you find.

2. Disable your Live Wallpaper, I did, it saved battery life and things are much snappier.

3. Close your unused apps. I know ICS is meant to deal with old apps much better now, however, I find my Galaxy Nexus to be snappier when I close down the 30 odd applications I have left in a suspended state. It doesn't take long to swipe them off from the home screen using the right "Application" touch button down the right hand corner of the screen.

4. I've noticed that dragging my finger along the screen does not give the same smooth/matte feeling of the iPhone 4. As a matter of fact, it almost jitters/vibrates across the contour glass. If I touch with a less contact force, I tend to find the performance of touch screen to be smooth, rather when I apply more force it tends to jump across the surface of the screen creating a jagged touch slide. I've also noticed the higher sensitivity of the accelerometer. If you have a very steady hand you can see the extra performance, if you hand is un-steady, it almost looks worse than the previous phone, but in reality, it was simply my inability to hold the device in one spot that gave the poor performance, really this a reflection on how responsive the phone is to my dodgy movements.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
Thanks but I had HTC Sensation with CM7. I think you must have mistaken when I made topic about my girl friend having an iPhone 4 haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
please don't go around suggesting people to do this. They are developer options for a reason.

Force GPU Rendering is only likely to introduce bugs as some apps don't handle it well. Wait for the developers themselves to enable GPU rendering. In addition, GPU rendering adds extra memory overhead to the app (8MB vs 2MB).

By suggesting this, you only end up with people who post back at the forum complaining that App X or App Y no longer works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
This doesn't "close" anything. It just removed the application from your app switching list. FYI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidbart:
I agree!

Im running an Unlocked version on tmobile. Its very laggy. It takes 2 seconds for screen to rotate to landscape and back, and overall its just slow. Even the data keeps fading from hspa to 3g Im beginning to fall in love with its for its beauty but performance wise my galaxy s2 was way faster and smoother. Is an update going to address this? Any input would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The rotation delay is intentional.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
I'm experiencing the same thing you are but the delay is intentional. If my screen was rotating all the time I would get really annoyed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
Also, the switching between 3G and 4G is intentional. 3G uses less battery... it kicks over to 4G when you're actually using the data connection.

My galaxy nexus is almost perfectly responsive. It lags on occasion, but I find it to be much smoother and more responsive overall than just about any other android device I've used. (including the galaxy S II)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
If your phone is laggy, then it's probably something on it you're running that isn't optimized for ICS. My phone runs just fine and easily outclasses any other phone I've used (and I've used pretty much every high end gsm phone that has come out here in the states). FYI your data isn't "fading from hspa to 3g", the phone idles on UMTS and when it's transmitting data it goes to hspa. This is very normal. Do a search on it if you want to know more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berglh:
Wow, we are really going to miss that 6 MB with the 1 GB available to the GN. My last phone was an Xperia X10 with only 384 MB of RAM, yes it was chuggy, but comparatively this amount of allocation is small and the feature seems to work well thsu far. I hardly think they are going to miss it, but your point on the Development Settings is valid to a certain degree.

I would rebut this by saying that most of my paid apps either don't work at all or don't work correctly due to the fact I'm running Ice Cream Sandwich prior to turning this option on on my own phone. There are many other reasons that apps are going to fail, particularly on Android. In retrospect, a disclaimer to this effect might have been appropriate considering the ramifications of the advice, and I direct this at hung monkey:

If you are not smart enough to draw the correlation between enabling the 2D acceleration and most of your apps suddenly not working, then you should probably not turn it on.

I have turned it on, it fixed the laggyness of the default Live Wallpaper, I haven't tested how much it saps the battery yet. Turning it on has only resulted in an improvement to my phone thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
From what I read about your "laggy" screen rotate. That is intended so it doesn't accidentally change orientations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berglh:
Don't be so sure that it doesn't. For example, if I load a relatively heavy game in to memory, such as Pocket Legends or NFS Shift, and I multitask, the app is suspended. I can use the app selection menu to resume that app, and quite quickly I might ad, much faster than the time it takes for the game to load in memory.

If I then kill it with the Task Switcher, it then has to load from the start, like the suspended session was terminated when I removed it from this list. Even Google themselves said that if you like to manage your apps, then this is how you can end them, but ICS will do a good job of managing it for you anyway, the controls are there if you want them.

This behavior does not match your allegation, would you please care to shed some light?

Cheers! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvpeterson:
I concur with the Op - the phone by comparison with my Samsung Galaxy S2, it does seem a bit laggy when scrolling between screens - I have everything setup exactly the same way as on the SGS2.

I'm not technical but I can only hope that these reasons of laggyness come down to the apps,etc. haven't been optimised for ICS yet?

When scrolling up and down the twitter, facebook or google reader apps, it just isnt as smooth as the Galaxy S2 or even the Galaxy S1.

Otherwise, very beautiful UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Live wallpapers need to die a horrible death. Worst Android feature ever.

To the OP, use a normal wallpaper instead and you'll see an improvement in the overall speed of the UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
I agree! This phone lags really bad with all the live wallpapers except for the Phase Beam one. TURN THEM OFF and its by far the smoothest phone.....lol:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FirstToTheLast:
I use wp clock and havent noticed any lag versus having it off....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxey:
But can it really be the case that the new "reference developer phone" ... etc lags at Live Wallpapers??

I was expecting a ming blowing experience with all the snappy new stuff....but try microbes as live wall paper or the pre-installed pdf reader and your are experiencing a flip book....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
It has nothing to do with the phone... Software is the key if you have poorly designed software you will always run out of power...... Just like a car with rusty bearings on the wheels no matter how big the engine is you wil never get any power. Also, as some live wallpapers are fine and some really lag kinda proves this point.:)

(the microbes wallpaper is horrible..lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I think most of the problems people are getting are to do with apps not being updated for ICS (or at least not updated properly) although some of it just goes down to the fact that ICS is in a pretty early stage. We are paying Google to beta test their new OS basically. :P At this point in time Gingerbread is much more stable for day-to-day usage but if someone got a Nexus phone they probably don't care about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
yeah im not sure whats up with it but from what i understand is only 'phase beam' is set up to use gpu rendering, the others fall back on the software renderer.

the bigger question is why didnt google optimize all the live wallpapers :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shenye:
I have a sensation and a gn. Seems there is a latency between swiping and the phone actually detecting your swipe. Not noticeable until you try it on another phone. I have an alpha of ICS for the Sensation that's completely smooth and it has that as well, but not on CM7. Seems it's something with the ICS launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Everything you mentioned sounds like its working by design. Your radio only switches to H to transfer data then back to 3G standby mode. And rotation is delayed to prevent accidental rotation which was a huge annoyance before because it was so touchy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2dorr:
Wp clock it's fine on GN. Indeed other Live wallpapers make the phone lag badly. I can't understand why Nexus LW is lagging so badly...

[HTC Sensation] pranker98:
I am looking for a ROM that increases battery life, has beats audio, and looks pretty cool. I want to overclock my Sensation to 1.5GHz so making the battery life longer can balance out and i have regular battery life with a faster phone. It can look like Win7 but it doesn't have to. It would be cool to keep the Sense 3.0 but have having fewer processes so there is more room for multitask and gaming while keeping average battery life (maybe longer). Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] theNOOBuser:
Hmmm...Personally, with what your looking for, I would try out Coredroid. But I myself am using Android Revolution HD 3.6.7. I am having a bit of troubles with random reboots, and constant freezing up though. But that's just me. Just try em' both out and see which one you like :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hotshot05:
I think I have a small problem.

When someone calls, the caller ID is displayed on screen. But at this time, the proximity sensor does not work. Only after I have accepted the call is the proximity sensor activated.

Due to the proximity sensor being disabled, while taking the phone out from my trouser pockets, lots of times I mistakenly touch the screen and the call is rejected even before I can get the phone out. And sometimes the call gets rejected by its own due to the clothing touching the screen(though this should not happen actually. But I have seen this happen with my phone)

So I am trying to find out if it is a problem with the custom ROM I am using or is it the standard feature of P500?

I am using OpenOptimus 1.172
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
of course when the caller ID shown proximity sensor won't come into place, or not how are you gonna accept/reject a call!?

Anyway this thing happens in all android phones with the proximity sensor
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hotshot05:
When my phone is in my pocket, what is the use of turning on the screen? Until I get it out of my pocket, I wont be able to see the screen anyway.

And when I take my phone out of my pocket, the proximity sensor won't be blocked anyway(it will be in free air) so it will turn on the screen anyway then.

Because of this useless thing, I have missed many a call :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
I really love the ICS style folders where you can see what's in them while they're closed.

Is there any way of getting this functionality in a custom launcher?

And while you're at it, what custom launcher would people recommend I've had a look at ADW, but the lag (even though it was slight) frustrated me to no end.

I love how the default launcher is so smooth, but I really want to get rid of the google search bar (without using the method that disables google search).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
There's a version of the SE Xperia launcher that works on non-SE devices and has the same folders as ICS. I just don't have a link right now, sorry. Maybe search for Xperia launcher 2.3.4. There's also an older version of that launcher with different folder where you can't see whats inside, so be careful to pick the right one.

Ok you great Themer's :) Overstew and Tiffany have been of great help to me on theming my phone, as are a bunch of you other great and helpful people here. See if you can figure this out for me please.

I am running Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6 theme. Tiffany made a cool blue theme Messaging app, that is for the stock Samsung text, she did a fantastic job :). But I have to say the stock Samsung messaging app is a piece of garbage, and belongs in the trash bin :mad: Pissed me off so much last week, in how limited it is, compared to my favorite GO SMS. On the Samsung text, if you get a picture text, you have no option to save it, and good luck forwarding that pic, I tried several times keeps saying "sending..." And then my Brother was texting me a "V-card" with a cousins address info, normally I can grab that vcard and it goes right to my Google contacts, not in the Samsung text, it read it as some ****ing audio file or some **** :rolleyes: Basically I will NEVER use the stock Samsung text messagin again, GO SMS is light years ahead of it in functionality, and some cool ICS themes are out for it.

Rant over...my question is this, so I am using GO SMS now, and I want it in the bottom launcher bar, with the 5 rows, I go to "Application" press "Edit" and drag the GO SMS icon down in the bottom 5 row launcher, but it does not show missed texts with the little red # in the corner, it just shows the green GO icon, I have to use a tiny Widget of GO SMS to show missed texts, I put that on the home screen, and tried dragging that down into the launcher, but it does not allow drag and drop icons from the home screens ?

What I would love if somehow possible, is Tiffany's cool blue Messaging icon there instead, but when I press it, have it launch GO SMS instead of going to the default Samsung Messaging, is that possible ? I know on some other launchers I think you can set it to launch a different app, but still show the default icon ?

Thanks ahead time :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Tiffany's blue Messaging themed icon at bottom, that I love, but hate the default Samsung app it launches too;

And this is how it looks with the GO SMS icon down there, but never shows a little red icon # next to it, and I hate the green color of it too;

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
If you can pull the apk all you have to do is swap the icon from the one you want to your app of choice. You would have to resign the app so that it works and push back to the system. That is all they are doing to my knowledge. If you can pull the apk to a computer, open it with an archive program like 7zip and you might not even have to sign it, just drag the images you want in there and go. Otherwise apps like desktop visualizer don't allow you to use the widget badges for numbers and messages etc.

Where do I download the APX Drivers? I can't seem to find them..

Also, after flashing CWM, I can just flash roms right? I don't need to install CWM everytime I flash a rom..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lawdawg45238:
APX Drivers

When you download the NVFlasher.zip. set up a new folder and place the .zip file inside of it. Then unzip the file inside that folder. There will be two folders. One of them is the NV Flasher program folder. The other folder is titled APX. The particular driver .dll file you will be looking for is in the i386 folder inside of the APX folder. So after you unzip that file, continue to follow the instuctions in that particular thread. When the computer asks you to browse for that particular folder (search automatically, or manually choose it) navigate to the NVFlasher folder, double click the APX folder and then double click on the i386 folder and choose the particular .dll file it is asking for.

You will not need to flash every time after following this particular method. This creates a permanent recovery on your phone. You can simply enter recovery and flash a new rom. However, I strongly suggest you always create a backup of your current ROM before trying something new. Just in case...

Hope this helps.
