Yup. I wanted to remain on stock launcher but caved and switched over to ADW. The stock launcher is chalk full of glitches; not just with scrolling screen issue, but also with trying to move icons and disappearing icons. These issues will need to be addressed in future updates. It's disappointing that Google themselves can't get the stock launcher to run as smooth and as efficiently as ADW or LP.
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Stock launcher might have been done by samsung
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Why would you think this?

Pure Google...
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
If that's true, that's even more disappointing, as the whole idea of the touted "pure Google experience" is to, well, be exactly that: pure Google.
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
Also having problems with occasional lag on the home screen and in resource intensive apps.

stock launcher, noLED installed, but I have tried the fix mentioned earlier.
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Correction it is gingerbread launcher not samsung
[Nexus S General] neok44:
Alright, so after reading all these posts the stock launcher can be glitched, until google hopefully fixes it, you have a few options on the market.

There are 2-3 stock gingerbread launchers on the market, these are copies of the one from the first system dump of the Nexus S. You can try these if you want stock.

Launcher Pro, you can make launcherpro look pretty much exactly like the stock launcher even with the 3d app drawer. If you want a truly stock android look, LP is your best choice.

ADW, good replacement but can't replicate the stock launcher perfectly.

ADW EX, pay app, but better at getting close to stock google.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
It's a little confusing to me why developers can make a better stock Gingerbread than Google can. Why is this?
[Nexus S General] sd00:
An obvious but brilliant question!

I reckon its all to do with effort vs benefit!

e.g. it works - lets get on with something else.

I hate that mentality and google will start to lose people if I am proven to be right as they will eventually get found out!

Fingers crossed for some major improvements in the future.

for me, for now, check my sig - I've gone back to the N1!

[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
It's usually when developers (including Google) add newer features, the new code may cause conflicts with the original code.
[Nexus S General] :
Less responsibility.

A developer makes a ****ty app it doesn't matter. Google does it, it affects paying customers, and they HAVE to respond appropriately.
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Nvm its doing the same on launcher pro just not obvious. Most of the time it starts when you relaunch from sleep mode. Unresponsive for about 5sec
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I've [reluctantly] switched to ADW launcher, and have not had any screen lag or hiccups; nor any difficulty in relocating icons, etc.
[Nexus S General] sax1981:
I am experiencing this same issue as well. I do have a live wallpaper and about 6 widgets total in various screens.....which I would think shouldnt be a problem for this phone. I checked the free memory and there is plenty left and so I dont understand why there is a lag/freeze sometimes??!!

Could this be a 2.3 issue?

I just uninstalled NoLed. I am going to wait for a couple of days and see how the stock launcher performs. If the issue still exists, I am switching to ADW or LP.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
List your widgets...
[Nexus S General] sax1981:

Left Screen 1:

- Jorte Calendar Widget

- Android Agenda Widget

Other Running Services:

- Lookout

- Swype

Thats it!
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Well I'm not familiar with most of those so all I can say is to troubleshoot by removing all of them, then adding each one back 1 by 1 to see what causes it. Another alternative (which I use) is to install System Panel and turn monitoring on. When it starts lagging up, go into System Panel and check which app was using the processor the most... it might say it's one of the widgets, or maybe it's something else entirely.
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
theres a similar issue where the home screen becomes unresponsive, further down this forum, related to stock launcher. these could be similar issues.
[Nexus S General] nyijedi:
I had the screen lockup twice, and I don't have noled or a live wallpaper running. The problem hasn't happened to me yet with launcherpro. The stock launcher is filled with bugs.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
Yep, happened to me quite often, when I hit 2.3.1 it happened just once or twice, I fix it by going:

Menu>Manage apps>Running>Menu>Cached Processes>launcher>force close

Then you hit HOME and it restarts Launcher all functional.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
So, I think the root cause is quite obvious ...

It is not the screen hardware issue ...

It is not the touch screen sensor issue ...

It is the "stock" Launcher issue !
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Has anyone started a report at the Google site about this problem? I can't seem to find anything related. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list?thanks=13414&ts=1293293994 If so, I'm happy to star it, so please provide the link if anyone started a report. If not, I'll start one soon.
[Nexus S General] theophane:
Same here.

Switching from one homescreen to another is kind of sluggish.
[Nexus S General] philipdeane:
Just experienced this for the first time...exactly how described with the Stock Launcher.

Occurred for me after moving music files from PC to the NS (300MB approx.) then disabled USB transfer mode and disconnecting the cable (PC first then NS). After which I lost the ability to scroll left or right on the home screen. Everything else worked fine as people have pointed out.

Reboot fixed it.
[Nexus S General] sax1981:
I just switched to ADW.Launcher EX. Very happy now!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
just for the record i did not experience the LAG (yet) during the time i was using the stock launcher

but I always switch to Launcher PRO, and wow! that things flies in 2.3 or maybe SNS has a better build than SGS and 2.2 / 2.1

when using Launcher PRO back on the SGS it was ... faster than stock TwLauncher, but nothing close to what the stock Android launcher does on 2.3

now i see why people were always complaining about the LAG in SGS

LOL :p i've just never been on any faster phone before it :D
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:

Bump. Please visit and star. I know I've heard more than 3 people having this problem.

Just voted, in the meantime i guess i'll just have to choose between launcherpro and adw ex.

[Nook Color Android Development] xboxexpert:
WARNING: Make sure your battery is CHARGED before attempting!

adb pull /rom/devconf/BootCnt
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > BootCnt
adb push .\BootCnt /rom/devconf/BootCnt
adb reboot

This will set the boot count to 8 and reboot your device sending it into Factory Reset mode. Once your factory reset is complete you can force shutdown (by holding power for 15 seconds). Then hold the "n" button and "Volume +" while powering the unit back on to reset your /data folder. After this is done its like you just pulled the nook out of the box for the first time.

Remove your SD Card and turn on your Nook Color, register your device and plug in the USB cord. Go DOWNLOAD the 1.0.1 update and save it to your "MYNOOKCOLOR" drive's root folder. Reboot your device should start to update your nook to 1.0.1!

Now that your Nook Color is on 1.0.1 firmware you want to root it with Auto-Nooter you can follow this thread to do so.

Enjoy :)

rooted Update

I keep reading that a rooted nook will not update. However the other day i noticed a green n and today it is not there but my software version is 1.01 and my nook is rooted. Has this updated caused my nook not to be updated?

HELP

How did you fix the boot-loop? I've reset my NC a few times with no problems, and now I can't get it out of the loop!! :(

Any help would be great!!

Thank you!

Extra info... I tried this from nook devs, but I can't get access to it thru ssh:

" Sometimes an NC will get into a state where it attempts to reflash the factory roms over and over and over. This is usually due to a damaged BootCnt file.

So, to fix it:

* Put in a nooter disk. This will boot the NC to a black screen.

* On your PC you need to use an ssh program to access the Nook.

o On Linux or on a Mac, at a console, type

ssh root@192.168.2.2

o On windows you will need to use putty.exe. If you don't already have a copy of Putty, right click that link and save it in the same folder as your adb.exe. Now, navigate to that folder and open putty.exe. It does not need to be installed, it just runs.

+ In putty, in the host name field, type 192.168.2.2

+ In the menu on the left, under connection choose Data, and in the auto-login username type the word root

+ Press the open button.

You will now be in an ssh session connected to the nook running the nooter's operating system.

Now, we will fix the BootCnt file. Type into the ssh screen:

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt

echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /mnt/devconf/BootCnt

umount /mnt

* Power off the NC holding the button down for about 10 seconds

* Remove the nooter sd card.

The NC will boot, and will run the factory flash one more time.

After that the NC should boot normally."

*******I'm not a religious girl, but OH THANK YOU JESUS!!******* Ahaha! :)

Thanks anyways, I fixed it myself. For anyone else who has this problem, here's what I did...

Plugged nc into computer and did "adb devices" and saw it was recognizing it.

Typed this in: adb shell

echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt

reboot

My problem that caused it to loop in the first place is that "/rom/devconf/BootCnt" of the above commands is blacked out on the nook devs website by a picture with a black background, so it was almost invisible, so I didn't see it while copy/pasting.

Then when it turned off, I pressed the n (home), +, and power, and it reset itself to factory settings. Phew!!

[Fascinate General] Njzkrish:
Not sure what's happening. I was trying to move a 1gb file to my Sd card from my laptop. The phone goes berserk. It freezes then wont start up while the file was transferring. Then it restarts and goes to main unlock screen the restarts again. I cant seem to transfer files unless they are below 200mb. Is there something wrong with the SD card?/

Also a few times it starts off as a fast transfer but then 75% done it slows down to a point where it transfers less than 1mb/sec
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Is this a persistent issue? If you are bricked, the only advice I can give is get a decent quality sd card reader (preferably bundled with a micro sd to sd card adapter). I can recommend one. Actually I have yet to try editing my sd card directly - just a best guess.

Also you might try different means of transfer. Three examples are a) mounting phone as hard drive on computer and copying (which I presume you are doing already). b) dropbox c) adb push mega.mp4 /sdcard/mega.mp4

Hi, guys.

My phone has been updated this week via lg official updater and I can't seem to root this thing using simple means. I've used superoneclick, z4root and rageagainstthecage (including manual adb method and gui).

Hope people can help. The firmware in suspect is V10E_00.

Thanks in advance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jeffkid182:
I have this problem too. I updated using the LG update software and the software version is now V10E-NOV-30-2010, and the android version is 2.2.1 build FRG83.

We need help. Thanks in advance. :)

same here

..after official update to 2.2.1 i can't root LGP500 (i've tried: superoneclick, z4root, universalblabla, rageagainstthecage gui..etc)

before the update my phone was rooted with no problem

:confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zeule:
Solved?!

Hello,

Guys, even me.. after an official update nothing worked to root my O1 (z4root, superoneclick, etc...) so what I did is downgrade the ROM to 10a but nothing to do.. still the same untill I found this topic http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-roms-hacks/43108-how-root-lg-optimus-s.html - follow step by step instructions and you'll root your P50x. It worked for me.. hope it will work even for you.

Cheers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] radub:
nope

Sorry zeule but this is not worikng on V10N (FRG83).

After runing ./rageagainstthecage (a milion times..:)) the phone must be restarted in order to run adb again....

no # only $:(

thx anyway
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zeule:
Hard little FW

Guys, if you want a rooted phone, in this case downgrade the firmware.. it's easy, I rooted the phone and installed a custom ROM.. much better than the standard.. even rooted standard ROMs do suck
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nalt:
It's just a matter of taste. One minus is that branded ROMs use more resources (sometimes a little, other times many (like HTC sense)).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ameragorn:
I understand that Zeule, but if there was a way to directly root this (without having to go to flash back to v10b then install custom recovery, then flash to custom ROM), that would be great.

I don't want to set everything up again: contacts, customizations, etc...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] warfab:
@ameragorn: I've downgraded to v10b before. My contacts and other customizations weren't altered in anyway. It's only when using custom roms that they were lost since it was expected from the data wipe. The good thing is that I had the forsight to sync my contacts with a gmail account I set up just for contacts. You can go back to v10b to get root access or you can wait for a successful method to be devised for rooting v10e.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jamelly:
Easiest way for me to back up contacts and also existing messages is by using MyPhoneExplorer app. Just do a backup there, and once you wiped everything out, just restore it in your phone. No hassle at all. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ameragorn:
exactly. flashing to the custom rom will wipe some stuff out. i'm not just referring to contacts, included are messages, customizations i did re-arranging the apps on the menu w/ categories, not to mention data on my apps...

i'll wait around for a successful method of rooting this as it is. same goes when gingerbread comes. :)

thanks to all who suggested going to custom ROM, i just prefer not to go that route.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Asuma06:
one-click rooting will not work...you need to do manual rooting. Mine updated to v10e but since i was using custom rom it did not affect my device being rooted.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ameragorn:
manual rooting (via adb) doesn't work either.

[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
The usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK disclaimer. I'd also highly recommend clockworkmod recovery .08 as a pre-req. We are only testing for cwm users.

I Recommend a CACHE Wipe. Data wipe shouldn't be necessary.

IF YOU DON'T USE or DON'T PLAN TO USE - ROM Manager - Then there is no need to update. These changes will be added to BETA 4. Unless you want the new boot IMAGE below instead of the G-Tablet on white background currently present.

Build URL: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/

Downloads: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/downloads

1.0.0 Beta3b Link: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/gtab.vegan.1.00.beta3b.zip

This is an update.zip formatted file. You'd run this like you'd run any other update.zip file.

-----------------------------------------------

This is a collaborative effort between myself, Roebeet, Rothnic and whoever else wants to pitch in. A ROM based off the Advent Vega firmware.

Benefits of this supplement

- ROM Manager should now allow you to select G-Tablet as your device

Known issues(same as BETA 3)

- sdcard2 will not remount if you eject and re-insert (should be fixed in beta 3).

- The initial Google setup on a fresh install will not get past the first screen (I believe it's because the phone apks were removed). The fix for this is to use the "four corner fix", to bypass. See this video for details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5XjF6sPef4. This should be fixed in beta 3.

- weird orange bar is showing up in the stock Calendar app.

Changelog

- (a2) We are using alpha1 as our "base" image, and then a modular format on top of that. So, alpha2 is a full update.zip package.

- (a2) VOLD should be fixed using a hack. 30 seconds after bootup, SDCARD2 should start working. Or, it may not work. It's an alpha.

- (a2) Vega user apk script has been added, which is supposed to add Flash on a newly wiped system. But it's spotty at best.

- (a2) Camera should be fixed.

- (a2) We're deleting some of the unneeded system apps like Twitter, Facebook, the Htc stuff in gapps and talkback. You can always add these back via the Market. The reason is to keep the image a little cleaner.

- (a2) Audio fix added.

- (a3) Added changes to the framework for smaller status bar and VEGAn boot screen.

- (a3) Added Gingerbread keyboard.

- (b1) SSL bug fixed. Also, added the latest YouTube and Gmail apps. Removed the user apk script for now, as it's really buggy.

- (b2) VOLD post-boot replaced with a mount commend. Should be more stable and might fix the disappearing apps, I hope. New Gmail, adhoc wireless support added, adfree hosts file removed (get "adfree android" app in the market to get it back), removed the Phone apks which should improve battery life.

- (b3) Mounting issues should be completely corrected, audio issues are corrected, new rothnic theme added, new Gmail and Voice apps, new Settings app with advanced Wifi (and policy is set to "never sleep" by default).

- (b3b) Fixed ROM Manager to allow G-Tablet device Selection
