Don't know where to begin on themes....its a phone tinkerers dream:D But I will be honest....I think my nexus s is a thing of beauty. Not had it a week but I am in love lol and awd just makes it even more cool. Off topic I know but nexus s has taken some stick....but I think it is awesome.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Here's a fantastic theming guide for you if you'd like it :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] willcpfc:
Thanks mate I will check it out:) its just What i got the nexus for...customization and when I get really brave custom roms! Coming from an x10i, nexus is a blank canvas:D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] konman795:
I recently made an interesting discovery. When I tried to use Launcher Pro on stock Gingerbread and Modaco r8, it was really laggy. I just now flashed Cyanogenmod 7 Alpha 2 and now Launcher Pro is running smooth like it did on my Nexus One again.

Edit: Actually, even Go Launcher is smoother on Cyanogen, but ADW is still laggy.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
No problem, and yeah that's a great tool to use, it has every topic covered for theming really :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] drew_grant:
Is anyone else having an issue with the 3D drawers inaccurate touch input? It has to be with the current release because I had the same version on my Nexus One and it did the same thing. If anyone has a solution for this let me know.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
LauncherPro+ works smooth and sexy on my Nexus S. I used to use ADW but after I tried LauncherPro I was sold.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
it says it is experimental in the settings.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
I think the new version of LP is out now, is it not? Shouldn't that help with performance issues?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
I never had performance issues but this one does seem just a mite smoother (compared to the already smooth as glass performance I had before).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] netninja:
are on stock gingerbread or a cyan/custom rom?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ikon8:
This new version today is not the new rewrite, just an update to current lp. Workign great here, the new transitions are buttery smooth here.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
The drawer is still a little sticky compared to stock 2.3 for me but the rest is awesome
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gogol:
LauncherPro is fast, yes it is fast ...

But definitely NOT SMOOTH.

I can still see the "steps" when scrolling home screen (I am not using transition effect).

I don't know how to explain it, but something like this:

Horizontal scrolling movement by positioning the x coordinate of screen-image:

x := x + 10 ... this is fast, but not smooth as you can see the 10 pixels movement steps

x := x + 1 ... this is smooth, but might not be fast

I am hoping the LauncherPro re-write will greatly improve this, or utilizing the GPU if possible.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
I'm really not sure what issue your referring to. By "steps" do you mean image artifacing? I see those with transitions, sure, but I don't particularly like the transitions so I have it set to none. When I'm bored I often like to put my finger on a home screen and move it from side to side so if there were an artifacing I'd have seen it and I have not ever seen it.

Also, Android doesn't support hardware acceleration so using the GPU for transitions might be out of the question. Not 100% sure on that.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] vselca:
This is how to make it fast and smooth

Follow these settings (read them on the launcher pro forums I think and made it perfect on my OG Droid):

Keep in memory - checked

Go to Advanced Setting > Memory Usage Setting:

Use Homescreen Cache = Checked

Home Screen Cache Type= Compressed

Build Cache as Needed= Checked

Clear Cache on Exit = UNCHECKED

Prevent Force Close = Checked

Memory Usage Preset (on top): Moderate

Also in Advanced Settings:

Elastic Scrolling = Checked

High Quality Scrolling = Checked (important)

Scrolling Speed = I prefer 70

Use 3D Draw = Checked

App Drawer Opening Speed = I prefer 8

Try these setting, made it flawless on mine and I never get redraws anymore...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dinan:
Agreed. The homescreen scrolling seems smoother now (perhaps not as smooth as it was on my N1 or Vibrant, not sure) but the app drawer open/close is definitely still jittery compared to the N1/Vibrant. The only time it's smooth for me is when I use an OC kernel like the 1.4ghz, and even then it's not always smooth. Wonder why this is since the Vibrant has the same processor but was smooth as can be... maybe it's a gingerbread problem he still hasn't figured out.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tmhung:
i 'll try it again ^^
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] xmRipper:
I can confirm that LauncherPro was super-smooth on my HD2 running Android, but it is not smooth on my Nexus S.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tmhung:
I removed it and use stock lancher .

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kingken:
I do experience FC whenever I reboot ..after the initial FC, it smooth..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Same here and for the features of it, i am giving a **** about the initial FC ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shrivelfig:
I notice a lack of response just after reboot. When I get the option of "force close" / "wait", I just choose "wait". LP wakes up soon enough.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] iinviktus:
LP takes forever to start up on my NS. It's not as smooth as it was on my Dinc.

I've switched to Go Launcher. It's super smooth (albeit with a not so great transition to app drawer, which isn't as smooth as LP's or Zeam).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tnicolaou:
Mine is extremely smooth. I use:

Memory usage: high

Caches: normal

Uncheck build caches as needed.

Disable wallpaper scrolling (this is what makes it very smooth for me)

Live wallpapers also seem to make it stutter, which I don't use anyway.

Hope this helps
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shaunmclane:
I made a switch from LPP to Zeam, and though it's missing the 3D app drawer, it's ultra-lightweight, and seems as smooth as LPP was on my N1. I also like the dock on Zeam, but I think ADW is has a similar dock. It also has a few gestures, and a double-tap action (set mine to go to dialer).

Was just surprised it hadn't been mentioned here, so I figured I'd throw it out and give it a recommendation.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] -Nacho:
Thanks - that helped! I've been struggling with this since I got my ns 2 weeks ago!

Which doesn't change the fact that my Hero worked much smoother with lp from scratch. Something in the code is not working well with gingerbread maybe?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lvnatic:
I noticed that this launcher is not friendly with all the ROMs. CM7 seems to be the worst experience, it lags and stutters. Oxygen is good, very responsive and I'm using scale transition but no elasticity, scrolling wallper is enable. For some reason MIUI seems to be the best, launcher pro simply flies on it. I tried cube transition, elastic scrolling and wallpaper scrolling, the launcher is very very smooth. An all the ROMs I use 3 LPP widgets of 4x4 sizes and the home screen has a clock, weather and news widget, in total there are 4 screens.

I hate MIUI to be honest, but oxygen is very nice, even screen previews are very smooth. Just don't use CM7.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] 123go!:
I have been using LP on my stock nexus s for a couple of days. Have found it to be very smooth, mind you I am going with the minimal look, so 3 homescreens, a couple of widgets, not many icons.

I used zeam for a for days, although it was very lightweight and fast, I found that it didn't offer too much of a difference over stock.

I am liking LP so far.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] xmRipper:
Use stock launcher, it is the smoothest launcher on Nexus S.

Or you can also try modified stock launchers, like UD Launcher. (Google it)

Launcher Pro and ADW is sucks on Nexus S, because they don't use Nexus S' hardware acceleration.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] demo23019:
LP ADW use hardware acceleration
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] njeske:
I started using Go Launcher a few weeks ago and haven't looked back.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lvnatic:
no they don't
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] demo23019:
edit

never mind i guess not i could have sworn it was...idk runs really smooth for me
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] -Nacho:
Thanks for the hint! I've installed it and doesn't look bad, quite smooth - as well as LP now having changed the settings! Reasons why I don't want to miss LP: scrollable dock + swype gestures on dock + scrollable Widgets - these save me so much time on my everyday use!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zephiK:
That's not the only that sucks ;)

Been using ADW EX since day one and its smooth as butter.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] decalex:
I get issues every once in a while with Launcher Pro (plus)-- and it seems to have been the common denominator in some FCs and random reboots. But I always end up going back to it for its combination of Calendar(agenda) widget, scrolling widget support and resizable widgets. I've tried colorize, and at as of a month ago, it didn't match up to LP's sense-esque widgets. Gonna dabble in some Zeam though.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gtafairlane:
Try Zeam. I've never had any issue with it. Stock or rooted

Nexus S

Matr1x V 3.5 Kernel

1.4GHz

No-frills CPU control

Smartass governor

CFQ I/O scheduler
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] xmRipper:
Well then you didn't even use the stock launcher or modified stock launchers like UD Launcher. You can not compare them.

I was using Launcher Pro and ADW Ex too for first month. Afterwards I discovered that stock one is much more smoother and cooler. You should try too. But notice that its only smooth on Nexus S. I tried to use the stock gingerbread launcher on HTC HD2 and its pain in the ass...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] cman675:
I have had horrible luck with LP on cm7. On MIUI there is a lag at startup but then it just cooks.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] deeren:
I have to agree with zephik. Adwin ex is the smoothest of all on average.

I said on average because although the ud launcher is smoother in the application drawer, it sure lags a bit when swipping between screens. Just put on some Widgets like tweeter, Facebook, weather. News... and you'll see what I am talking about.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dreamsforgotten:
I will never switch from adw ex. I make custom theme packs for it with the release of the theme template from adam and once you learn how to use it fully, all the features are there that are desired in other launchers. One example is the hidden dock setting. Swype up from the bottom of the screen and it appears, a scrolling dock. But to use it you must select lock windows from the home screen or you'll be moving icons around like crazy
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] thoth77:
Go Launcher

Because of Folder in appdrawer, I prefer go launcher
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] decalex:
Gotta say, trying GO Launcher for the first time in a few months, it's gotten way way better. The only thing that sucks is the lack of theming in the widgets, e.g. the Calendar Widget. I'm almost finished working on a modded GO Calendar to be inverted and a transparent. .. only thing left is just trying to find the color of the calendar grid dates.

Maybe smali master dreams could assist :)

Doesn't appear to be in any of the xmls.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dreamsforgotten:
Lol I can take a look send me the apk
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] decalex:
Rt on - just PM'd you. Thx bro :)

Heres a screencap of WIP
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] e30ernest:
I use the same settings and mine is very smooth even with wallpaper scrolling. The stock launcher is still smoother when using live wallpapers so I just stopped using my live wallpapers in LauncherPro. The added features and customization on LauncherPro makes up for the lack of live wallpapers.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] grifforama:
I have problems with Launcher pro when using different ROMs.

Example

Using CM7, my Gmail icon in the dock does NOT show unread count, however, using Deck ROM it does.

Does anyone know if this is a kernel problem or a ROM problem ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Smokexz:
I find that scrolling is jumpy but that Launcherpro is more stable and consistant in performance.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Alepeso:
Beautiful setting. Ty !! ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] -Nacho:
There is an issue with the new gmail's APIs and launcher pro, you can read it in fede's blog.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] e30ernest:
Uhh that's a bummer. I hope Google releases new APIs. I'm pretty sure they will.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] lvnatic:
How can that make it smoother if you enable all the features? Your settings are the complete opposite of the smooth term.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dreamsforgotten:
Look at the settings checked, store cache, never delete cache, hq scrolling, increase scroll speed etc. these play a huge roll in the feel of lp and the phones quite capable of handling it, its say try a new rom if yours isn't
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] shubu000:
Yeah just spent half a day tweaking my phone but just doesn't feel as smooth as the latest version of zeam... can't wait for rewrite
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Mlinarek:
I was having massive redraw times even with the "perfect" settings provided earlier in this thread.

I tried using zeam with my choice of Widgets and zeam was running worse then launcherpro.

So I went and looked at the Widgets I use. Once I removed juicedefenders data toggle and lowered the amount of posts listed in pure messenger widget, my performance increased greatly and no redraw issues. I use wigetsoid for toggle now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhnboy:
Hello,

I used Barnacle Wifi tethering with my pc sucessfully before.

Now, after reformatting the computer, (the wireless adapter is obviously working as I'm using it right now), it tries to connect to the barnacle network but takes forever (basically it doesn't connect).

Tethering is crucial for me and any help is appreciative. Nothing has changed on my phone since it last worked with my pc. The only difference is that my pc has reinstalled windows 7 and has working wifi drivers.

how can I fix this?

Thanks so much!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkside79:
Try flashing a froyo rom. Comes with wireless tethering installed.called. Mobile AP. Works great. I'm using Axura Voodoo Rom and getting 5.21mg download speeds. Also has USB tethering installed too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhnboy:
Thanks for the reply, but I was wondering more of what was wrong on the pc side.

Is there some driver I'm missing?

I was able to use EasyTether via USB to tether but it was so much slower (other things being constact) than my Barnacle Wifi tethering.

Why can't I connect to barnacle?

Do I need kies installed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhnboy:
BUMP. This is still a major issue for me.

I installed Bionix's latest rom and it still doesnt work.

Froyo USB tethering doesn't work (drivers installed sucessfully on my windows 7 pc)

Barnacle Wifi doesn't work (it takes forever while "connecting" and never ends up connecting to the phone)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazySmerf:
With the Bionix 1.3 I can verify that wifi tether does work I use it everyday. Are you seeing your phone listed as an AP when seraching for wireless connections?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhnboy:
For Barnacale Wifi I am assuming you are talking about:

What is AP?

I see it listed as a wireless internet connection (in windows 7, its a icon of 3 computers) and I click to connect.

It tries and tries but never connects to it for some reason.

However, before my PC reformat, it connected to barnacle wifi just fine.

I can confirm that there are no problems with my wifi on my pc.

And I really appreciate you getting back to me.

Use a user agent switcher on firefox to change the user agent settings to a specific phone (maybe fascinate or vibrant). You can look up on google what some of the user agent settings should be. If you can download the apk this way you can just transfer it to your phone and install it. Never tried downloading from EA but this might work if they're using the browser to check the phone model.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
Unfortunately every way I know of changing your user agent on the stock browser causes crashes. Just download dolphin hd browser. It's nice, free and has the option to change the user agent to a desktop computer if you want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wondroushippo:
Ooh, this might be one worth toying around with.

Don't know if it's a user agent thing, but I could certainly try it - I do wish it was easier to switch user agents on the default browser.

Now, non-default browsers can't use Flash, right? Not like I use it, but just curious.

Edit: Well, it looks like User Agent might be part of it, but I can't do any custom user agent strings with Dolphin or Firefox (much less the default browser, where I can't even find the setting even after I put in about:debug), just the default settings it provides.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somomomo:
Sorry I meant to use firefox on your pc to change the user agent so it looks like a mobile browser. The desktop version should have more options available in the extension (and shouldn't crash).
