[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] The_Steph:
davfunk,

I was using the low quality cache to smooth the transitions (but it was still a bit laggy) but moving to non made my ADW Launcher EX as smooth as TW Launcher if not moother.

Just perfect!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] davfunk:
I have completely disable the cache.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
I use GO launcher.

I used to use ADW EX but find GO Launcher mire advanced.

Lets say you have a contact shortcut on your main screen, tapping it calls person X, you can use GO launcher to ads a gesture command. So if you swipe up OM that same shortcut it'll do something else. I have it set so that it'll open that contact's chat window in what'sup.

Tapping calls, swipe up chats. Isn't that amazing and convenient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] The_Steph:
CorruptedSanity,

I used GO Launcher for almost a year on my Desire HD, but when I moved to the Note, it was not as smooth as ADW Launcher EX.

Go Launcher has amazing features sur as dockbar icon swipe to launch actions, integrated plugins and so on that you need to find replacement for when using ADW Launcher but if you stick with a laggy launcher (as I use a lot of scrolling widgets), it ruins everything.

So now, with no cache set in config, I can swear that ADW Launcher EX is probably the best launcher for Note in terms of smoothness (and I tried a lot, including 360 Launcher, before writing that).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] davfunk:
I use ADW with an HD2, a DHD and the Note because with GO Launcher it is not possible to hide the status bar.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] KaranKapoor:
Go to ADW Settings and switch the Cache to Low Quality.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the posts above mine. :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] stephen dagostino:
I have tried LOTS of launchers but keep coming back to ADW EX.

I finally have it running really nicely. I leave the cache on auto but do unclick scrolling wallpaper.

Wee demo:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Martini3001:
I keep using the GO Launcher after testing a lot of other launchers.

I made the experiance that the GO Launcher is the best at all. Its smooth and very easy to handle.

ADW EX works perfectly here. No lag at all. I'm using 240 DPI.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] stephen dagostino:
Me too, 240.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] stephenjason89:
240 dpi? so what do u use as your dialer?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LordManhattan:
I'm using exDialer with ICS theme. Works great.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] notegalaxy:
I recently switched to go launcher instead of adw ex. Has some cool features and transitions but the heavy transitions seem to work alot better with custom kernel or rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] kotaro_14:
Download System tuner pro, and enable Force All CPUs online. I don't have it enabled since my phone us smooth as butter, but it will help a lot if it's laggy, but uses more battery.

hi try sslaucher its free from the market,its more smoother than any launcher on galaxy note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeremy.chan:
seconding sslauncher. good stuff
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Bxsteez:
I've used ADW as my launcher of choice for quite some time but it does show noticeable lag even with all the settings people have recommended. It did run a lot better on the leaked ICS build but still laggy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] two_handed:
+1

depending on widgets i do experience minimal lagging.

Thanks for the advice with no scrolling cache/ low smalling cache, reduced lagging to a very minimum
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] JC0406:
No its not rooted. But as someone pointed out earlier, rooting your device doesn't really make any difference. I know launcher pro is smooth but I always liked ADW the best. I haven't tried using the EX version though. Go launcher is just OK. Maybe I should flash cyanogenmod on it or smth....my 2 year old Galaxy 5 is running ADW fine and it has much more Widgets. But its running CM7 though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] JC0406:
I'll give sslauncher a try
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] crazyrobban:
Am I the only one who has worse performance when turning off scrolling cache?

Setting it to low quality looks horrible, off makes everything really slow, and automatic makes it fast "once in a while".

App drawer is always a bit laggy.

Non rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] two_handed:
clear all your widgets and try again if its laggy. then add widgets one at a time to figure out which widget produce lag.

otherwise: root your device and get a custom kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] sashamedovarski:
ADW works much better on ICS leaked version. No laging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Hififrog:
I've try SSLauncher last night. It's fast and beauty. I love it more than ADW ex on my Note

Hey greg, can you tell which tool did you use to decompile and compile mms.apk?

I was trying this since ages but I always got an error while compiling.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] greg_h_w:
I'm using APKManager

maybe you forgot to install framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] codeknight11:
We need to put those files somewhere in apk manager's installation folder? Please can you specify the folder location.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] coccolino_dbro:
I'm guessing you get the plurals error somewhere in en-ES string translation file (that happens on more stock files, like phone.apk etc.). By compiling straight with apktool (without using 3rd party scripts like apkmanager or whatever) usually you can pinpoint the compile error and fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] greg_h_w:
No. You need to install proper framework from the same ROM in apktool.

1. Put your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to the root directory of APKTool.

2. Open cmd

3. Navigate to the root directory of APKtool and type the following command:

apktool if framework-res.apk

the framework installed to : ...\apktool\framework\1.apk

4. then type the following command:

apktool if twframework-res.apk

the framework installed to : ...\apktool\framework\2.apk

Hope it help you :)

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
First: you've to remove original Mms apk. Having two Mms apps will make modded one crashing.

Second: You must delete Mms (original) apk, dex and odex file.

Please, do this:

Restore original Mms apk, dex and odex

Check Mms works

Do the exact steps in first post and also report here what you did

Get a logcat and share it here (will look to Mms related strings)

Hey guys, I recently rooted my Skyrocket and install StockMod.

It's has a kernel which support BLN.

It worked fine a couple of times, but now after reboot it doesnt work anymore! I can click 'test' in BLN Control, and it works without problem, but when I actually get a text, my touch buttons don't light up anymore.

However, I can also get the fastboot mode by holding up the volume key.

I already tried:

moto-fastboot reboot

All the above commands run without errors as I use those img files before and they are fine. However, that didn't fix anything.

I also tried: moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img

Install Parallels Trial version on my mac just to use RSD Lite, since the only options I had on my phone during boot was fastboot and RSD.

Install all the Motorola drivers for Windows, ran RSD Lite 5.4.4 and flash the unlock pudding .sbf file. It worked!!

I have gone as far as extracting the xml files, but I am on a windows box and it doesn't like the XML format. Says it is corrupt, illegal characters etc. I will look around at some more of the modding guides and see if I can find a XML editor that will work. It seems most are still geared toward 2.2-2.2 versions of the OS. My knowledge is limited, as I am not a developer anyway.
