150 or 250

In my build i have

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=250

it is ok for you ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Any number over 60 just means even faster, smoother scrolling/swiping. I had it at 240 but found it too fast so dialed it down a bit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ryan562:
i just switched to nova launcher for the hell of it and dam....nova runs twice as smooth as fast on the note. gonna be sticking with nova launcher until the apex dev updates his app to work better with the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tw15tr:
Agree i did the samething too :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] apprentice:
Exactly the same problems expressed on this thread with GO LAUNCHER EX too!

Ruining my lovely ICS experience.

Looks like we have to wait a bit for developers to catch up and ICS to mature. Similar experience on Honeycomb in the early days tbh.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] saqibj:
Got curious about Nova, installed it.... and Apex started working fine.... haven't used Nova yet...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] spacetaxi:
I did the same and I'm really satisfied with Nova, as it runs as expected. Maybe I'll retry Apex in a few weeks/months...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
yeah... I messaged the dev on the official Apex beta thread and he/she has no idea what's wrong. Volunteered to test [EDIT], in contact with dev atm, no fix yet.

Using Nova in the meantime. No where near as smooth for me compared to Apex but at least no black screen annoyances.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Update: have been speaking with the Apex dev to try sort out issue.

In the meantime, I've noticed that I get the black screen issue much less often with the below settings (also posted on the Apex beta thread):

* Check on "Keep in Memory" in Apex Settings. Note having the build.prop "HOME_APP_ADJ=1" property is NOT the same thing!

* Disable "Enable Root Helper" in Apex Settings

* If using custom lockscreen like WidgetLocker, set Transition Animation -> NONE.

The combination of the "Keep in Memory" and "Transition Animation -> None" helped me a lot. With those particular settings set I've only had two black screen issues occur instead of practically every time I switch out of another app -> home, or when unlocking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EdgaBimbam:
try latest stable version 1.2.0, for me it is so smooth.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tw15tr:
Latest version 1.2 still lags :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dhruvmalik:
Yep, just updated and selected Keep In Memory. Has not happened to me for over a few hours. Although it was quite rare for me, but annoying as I would usually have to lock the screen and come back to it in 30 seconds.

Glad to know its not just me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] springer.music:
Re: Apex, I've just tried this which seems to reduce a bit the lag on transitions:

Apex settings > Homescreen settings > Hide icon labels (enable this)

I've tried Apex, Nova and Go Launcher Ex extensively in the last few days.

I get lags with both Apex and Nova - most noticeably when opening folders with 5 or more apps.

I have to say that with my current set up (Galaxy Note with stock ICS + root), the smoothest launcher is now Go Launcher Ex (ver. 3.0.1).

Go Launcher was laggy under GB, but since the update to ICS and the new Go update (3.0, now 3.0.1) things have changed dramatically.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rahulganatra:
Have got 1.2 pro and no lags, it runs beautifully
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
I'm already on 1.2.0 and lag isn't my problem (the latest LPF rom surprisingly smooth with Apex < 1.2.0, even before tweaks).

It's the annoying 10-15+sec black screen "pause" that occasionally happens when Apex has been kicked out of memory and is attempting to redraw (and doesn't happen with Nova).

Easy way to reproduce this is to simply open a bunch of (memory intensive) apps and then try switching to Home either by pressing Home button or hitting the Back button several times rapidly....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tony888:
I've been using apex too but find it slow compare to nova launcher, now nova my choice now, really fast :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] suniljozef:
I have same problem.. now on nova launcher works pretty smooth
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dhruvmalik:
I'm still sticking with Apex with the hopes of a fix soon. Somehow Apex is just a bit more easy to configure and out of the box works really well.

Tried Nova and dint have the heart to reconfigure everything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Goodm7sn:
Nova free version missing loads of options already available on the free apex.. I'm getting many fc and redraws on apex while multitasking , even after the latest update.

I installed nova and setup the same screens as on apex. Going to try it for a while now to see how it compares in performance vs apex..

The one thing I'm missing (so far) , is the ability of apex pro to overlap widgets.

UPDATE 1: i just got the first redraw on nova :mad: (as i was typing this post and watching a pop youtube video with supervideo app) !!!!!!!

UPDATE 2: after a few hours of heavy multitasking, noticed that nova launcher has the same redraw bugs ! but it takes it less time to redraw u barely notice (apex takes around 10 sec), didnt get a single FC yet .

also, nova "seems" a bit smoother/faster and faster than apex , but as i said , missing widget overlapping is not avaliable on nova (dont even know if they r working to implement it).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shaftenberg:
Nova got the same problems as Apex, but less often.

I mailed with both devs, although Kevin from Teslacoil was much more responsive, so he got the 3 bucks from me :)

The problem is, that there is probably a bug in the ICS-ROM. This doesn't concern only Nova and Apex, but more Apps which use the hardware acceleration by default. You can easily switch to /data/tombstones and look into those text files. Those are memory prints from crashed apps, maximum 10 files in there. Sometimes it is Nova, sometimes another faulty app.

I found out that the LPF kernel crashes less often than the LPY kernel, so flash it over your LPY-ICS and you are fine. I flashed the LR1 modem too and got better reception by the way.

Yes, the problem is not gone, but with Nova I had the most less issues in time. Otherwise switch to GB or use LauncherPro, this hadn't lagged once.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
1.2.1 Should Fix Blank Screen Issue!

Hmm, didn't think about checking /data/tombstones. Might take a look. Would explain why certain apps have just been FC'ing recently.

Noticed in today's update that Nova has apparently fixed "blank screen" issues so maybe it's ok with Nova now (although I've never had issues with Nova).

At least for me I've noticed that taking out any dalvik-related tweaks in build.prop (ie. stuff like dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold and dalvik.vm.checkjni) then clearing dalvik cache and doing a full uninstall/reinstall of Apex and not restoring from backup (Titanium or via Apex backups) seems to have drastically reduced the number of times I get the black/blank screen issue.

Odd that you didn't hear back from the Apex dev - I volunteered to assist and they've been in contact with me to try debug the issue since. Sent them logs from a special debug version of Apex and they've told me the latest 1.2.1 has fixes for the issue.

Just upgraded to Apex 1.2.1 a few hours ago and so far it's been behaving fine (I don't have "Force GPU Rendering" enabled in Settings or build.prop).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EdgaBimbam:
yeh i had with 1.2.0 sometimes redraw even with "keep in memory" enabled, with 1.2.1 seems improvement, so far no redraws :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dhruvmalik:
With 1.2.1 and installing ICS again from GB to official Indian Update i am getting crazy redraws. When it was once in a while with LPS now has turned into every 5-6 attempt to go back to home from any app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EdgaBimbam:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] atonal:
I also use both launchers, but otherwise, at my device (galaxy note Ics Goarom 2.0 with Franco Kernel r3),Apex runs really faster and smoother and on Nova I had Fcs all the time.....

Some reasons for that was: (some things was posted already, but I got this problems more on Nova)

- Low memory killer has to set down a little bit, cause I think, both Launcher need a lot of ram, but better is Apex, cause got the "keep in memory"option!! I used system tuner pro, to keep the Launcher excluded from task killing

- beware of some kind of widgets, like pure calendar and some others. Don't know, they are not complete compatible to ics or have just conflicts with this kind of launchers, but they produce Fcs called" Nova/Apex Launcher ended"...

Finally I kicked Nova, cause Apex runs very more stable and faster on my device...

But Nova got better functions, like saving widgets and you can sort them home screens better...... But I think since update 1.2.1 Apex got very very more stable and have a really better performance with ics....... Sorry for my bad English, hope you will know what I mean... :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Yucko:
As of yesterday the lag when switching from app to homescreen came back where I didn't have this problem for many weeks now.

So I started to think what I changed on my phone and it then came to me that I unlocked the homescreen so I could put the WhatsApp Plus icon in my dock but forgot to lock the homescreen afterwards. After doing this (locking the homescreen) so far I did not have any more black screens/lag when going back to homescreen when closing an app.

So my question is: do any of you use the 'lock homescreen' function in Apex and if not, will you give it a try and give some feedback after some testing?

edit:

I knew I shouldn't have made this post ... problem is still there :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] brolee93:
for me i have a lot of redrawer in apex grrrr :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] roshi87:
The problem is both Nova and Apex act the same on different roms - they don't force close, but freeze and redraw after 10 odd seconds. Damn it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] brolee93:
it really starts to become unbearable ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mullarameez:
I am in love with Apex launcher from my sgs2 days, now on note faced same problem as u guys are facing, so i did everything written in this thread b4 reading this thread:cyclops: as i'm quite a geek i do lots of experiments with my note, and to make APEX SMOOTH i will give you one simple trick which i'm using for last 4days and not a single redraw since then, but drawer scrolling not smooth issue is still there bt atleast no annoying waits for redraws.

Just goto settings/developers options and there goto Apps and SET BACKGROUND PROCESS LIMIT to ATMOST 4 PROCESSES from standerd limit and u are done no redraws whatsoever(also select keep in memory from apex settings). but keep this in mind after u restart you mobile android set back this BAckground process limit to Standard limit so when u restart ur mobile just set it back and done. FYI if we select NO BACKGROUND PROCESS then after restart also it remains as it is, if u dont want to set at every restart set it to no bg process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] brolee93:
and how to fix this process ? hum hum
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
Hello Experts,

I notice some mounting method is like below:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");

and some are just like below.

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

Was wondering what is the difference between two type of mounting to /system? Is there any significance in terms of permission or memory allocation?

Is there away i can change the boot animation. I've tried to use a root toolbox and change it but didn't work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] droid73:
Was wanting to know how to myself.

Any insight?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
You should have Root Explorer or another file explorer. Your bootanimations are located in System/media folder. The animation will either be sanim.zip or bootanimation.zip. In Root Toolbox you have to go into settings to change where it installs the bootanimation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
^ This... And to add... It might not be a bad idea to replace/add both sanim.zip and bootanimation.zip into that folder... Some kernels use sanim.zip and some use the bootanimation.zip... If you just replace the one and then flash a different kernel, you may get the original animation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
The majority of the boot animations in ROMs/Kernels are going to be "bootanimation.zip" as said by bigfau under system/media directory. But in some cases "sanim.zip"

I figured that I'd let you all know that Epsylon3 is going to add BOOSTEDassV2 (boosted) to the bootmenu, and its already supported with his Touch Recovery. No eta on anything, but its good news.
[Bravo Android Development] sdrawkcab3:
I'm loving the BOOSTEDassV2 governor! I have my voltages a bit high right now and I'm still getting great battery life with the really slick scaling. Thanks a ton for these!
[Bravo Android Development] skeevydude:
Me too. I was using them for about a week before I released them. I didn't realize how good they were until I installed CM9 2012\05\12 without them and used conservative. Boosetdass stock runs more efficient and smoother than a heavily tweaked conservative (which I usually get good results with).

I'm just glad that they picked up support from Epsylon3.

I'm currently working on an init script to tweak the BOOSTEDassV2 and smartassv2 settings like the other governors have in the bootmenu. Placing them in 04govandio causes boot to freeze, so I'm gonna make a 98govloader (pick governor) 99asstweaker (tweak smart\boosted) and go from there.

While Epsy is adding them into the bootmenu, there's no telling when Quarx will merge in those changes and provide a new build with them. Besides, its nice having a script that's easy to edit.
[Bravo Android Development] mataflakitas:
skeevy420 wow I have really wanted to try that on my motorola bravo....:D

Done and built, but Beats Disables equalizer and effects in music apps. Just need to find the right libraries to use.

Boostedass working great with this rom. 9hrs use, 54 secs at 1100 MHz, 21 minutes at both 700 & 300mhz, 8hrs deep sleep, 86% charge.

10 mins of music, 40mins of wifi surfing, changed theme 3 times.

Will upload later today, need to fix a few bugs first. Also saw that Quarx released a new Defy+ CM9 today and waiting to see if a new Bravo CM9 is in the works so I can use its updated bootmenu with the governors built it....but it doesn't have the correct SIO flags in the source. They were based on my 1.0 Governor release, and the SIO flags weren't fixed until my 2.2 release. Most of the current SIO flags in the bootmenu point to nonexistent features, so its not like they'll hurt anything. My init script is still better to use than the new bootmenu we don't even have yet as it does point to actual, changeable settings. Gonna PM Quarx and let him know.
