I have it locked both ways

Menu>Preferences>General>Keep In Memory

Cyanogenmod Settings>Performance>Lock Home In Memory

The only time I've ever had lag going back to the homescreen is if I press the home button while running Angry Birds lol.
[Droid Eris General] hallstevenson:
I seem to recall the developer of LP (fede ?) mention that (at the time) that functionality didn't work (properly). It certainly may have been fixed by CM since then though.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
It certainly may have been. I posted this here because I don't keep up with CM changelogs.

I know that Fede/ multiple LP users have reported the problem. That's evident in the thread.
[Droid Eris General] daveseris:
Glad this topic was introduced. I had just accepted this as a GB issue. I tried the lock in memory option through CM ... lag gone!!
[Droid Eris General] Marisa:
You could also type in "echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop" (no quotes) to add the line to the end of your local.prop. It will still make one if you don't have one so the command should work either way.
[Droid Eris General] amfetamine:
I've been trying to recreate this issue and can't get LP to redraw. App after app; home comes right up like I never left it. Even after opening Adw ex for awhile, hitting home LP pops right up.

No eye deer.
[Droid Eris General] amfetamine:
The secret sauce in on the memory settings page under advanced.

Build cache all at once

Do not clear cache
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
That's separate amfetamine. If there's a fix to it it is not in LP, fede has already said it's an android issue and it can't be fixed on his end.

If the issue was fixed (it sure wasn't on mine, there's a noticeable difference) it was in some CM update.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I think it's possible that CM7 has fixed this problem. The problem IS in gingerbread, but CM7 isn't "just" gingerbread. IT's possible that the "lock in home" feature has solved it. I hadn't used it since going go GB since I'd never had a need.
[Droid Eris General] amfetamine:
Hmm, not sure then. LP rarely ever redraws on me. Adw does all the time, But LP almost never, except on initial start up of course.

I also keep orientation locked in portrait most of the time. Don't know if that would be a variable or not. <shrug>
[Droid Eris General] Cmotion:
Launcher Pro will occasionally redraw on me, so I decided to add the line in the first post... seems better so far but hard to tell as it only happened occasionally. However, I did notice (could be coincidental) that when I checked Running Services after making the change, I seem to be averaging 30MB or so more free RAM. I used to run around 60MB or so and since making the change it's been upwards of 90MB! I have no idea why else this would be as I haven't made any other changes, other than rebooting after using terminal emulator. Anyway, maybe it was just the reboot, but just thought I'd share.
[Droid Eris General] hallstevenson:
Sure he could, just add that echo command to LP's install :)

[Droid Eris General] hallstevenson:
This fix isn't unique to LP. It should help all HOME apps.

[Droid Eris General] LexusBrian400:
I remember this from back in my D1 days. It worked on that, and it also worked on my Droid X. Happy to report, it works on the eris as well. I've been using this for over a year, never really thought to make a post about it lol I thought everyone already knew about this...
[Droid Eris General] mohitrocks:
Trying right now :) Does the option in cyanogen mod 6/7 work the same way as this?

Edit: Perfect! Was a little scared editing the file, but it works great! Thanks so much! Just what I wanted it to do: return to the launcher from any app almost instantaneously without any lag!

Edit2: By the way, I'm on motorola milestone. Glad to see this works for me as well :) (Also thanked thread creator :)
[Droid Eris General] kaze06:
I don't experience any real lag but I'm going to try it anyway because I can't resist the temptation to tinker :D.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
He could do that, but it would assume root. I guess he's just not assuming root.
[Droid Eris General] hallstevenson:
With root, it works. Without root, it fails. No big deal...

Sent using XDA app
[Droid Eris General] Stonent:
Yeah, I realized that afterwards. The other command will delete the current file and replace it, which wouldn't be good if the file had other things in it.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
As I said, all i know is that he said it's a problem on their end.

Whether that's the case or not, this is the fix.
[Droid Eris General] ToastPwnz:
I'm not sure if LP redraws on GB for me or not, I don't think it does since it only lags when I turn my screen back cause of my sleep profiles. Is there any telltale way of knowing if it redraws?
[Droid Eris General] Marisa:
Redraw would be pretty obvious, widgets and icons are gone and you'd have to wait while your launcher puts them back.
[Droid Eris General] ToastPwnz:
Ah, well then I've never had that happen. Thanks for explaining it to me.
[Droid Eris General] icedventimocha:
Thanks for this post, I was havng a lot of problems with this, and this seems to help a great deal. I also noticed I have had more problems when LP isn't installed with the rom, but rather through the market. It helps to copy the .apk from data/app file to system/app folder and reinstall it there as a system app.
[Droid Eris General] magnethart:
Thanks for the post. Appears to have improved switching to my home screen on GSB 1.7. I only noticed it with certain widgets but don't see it at all after adding the local.prop file and rebooting.
[Droid Eris General] hafslund:
Wow...

This really seems to have made it much faster. You rock!
[Droid Eris General] GreginNH:
seemed to make a difference right away and for the past day or so , but now I am getting that heavy lag/redraw thing going again.

My phoen has been acting flaky though for over a week now, so it may just be on its last leg...hope NOT!

Thanks for sharing the info though!
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
Looked for this file /data/local.prop and didn't see it.

Opend a terminal, type su and hit enter

Then typed this : echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 > /data/local.prop and hit enter, and then rebooted.

Then phone wouldn't boot up. Went passed the skateboard guys, then just sat there. Doing a Nand restore now.
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Very strange. I can't see why that would happen. Did you try more than once?
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
Tried to reboot three times and it was a no go.
[Droid Eris General] amfetamine:
Finally did get a redraw the other night. (LP) Was switching between apps and hadn't been back to the home screen for over an hour. Hit home; redraw. But other than that, never happens.

Not using the fix. Just an FYI.
[Droid Eris General] Cmotion:
Does anyone know if this should be done every time I flash a new ROM (sans data wipe, ex. going from GSBv1.8 to v1.8.1 w/only a dalvik cache wipe)?
[Droid Eris General] mike1986.:
Do I need to set some permissions to that file?
[Droid Eris General] daveseris:
Thanks for posting this. Unchecked the keep home in memory, ran the command, rebooted. No redrawing at all. Thanks again.
[Droid Eris General] rigbyrobot:
Im not positive, but I believe when you flash over with out a full data wipe /factory reset your only overwriting existing folders with new ones in the update or creating new folders that don't exist, so unless the dev includes a build.prop folder in there build it should carry over
[Droid Eris General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I don't know why this works, but I have found that completely disabling the use of homescreen caching seems to drastically improve the performance on my SGS2. Transitions from screen to screen, and going to and from the jump view (pinch to zoom to see all your screen previews) might not be buttery smooth, but it's responsive as hell! I'll trade smoothness for MUCH improved response time any day! Also, the extra available memory for my system is a nice bonus as well! ;)

Has anyone else tried this? Is this unique to the SGS2? Does it work for other folks on GB? Let me know!
[Droid Eris General] marty28645:
awesome! works great
[Legend General] osamahindi:
i'm not really a noob but noob to the Legend, i used to have Xperia X10 and HTC HD2 and it was easy to root and installing ROMs

now i have this Legendary Legend :) and i want to root it and install different ROMs i'm currently running 2.2, radio-7.13.35.05, and on the boot it says

LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.01.0000

MICROP-0816

TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0105

i've been reading the stickies foe awhile but i didnt know what is the difference between S-ON and OFF and if 2.2 is rootable or i have to downgrade to 2.1 and if i have to root this HBOOT thing!! actually i'm lost!! one last thing what is the best ROM for Legend? is there 2.3 or CM7 out for it?

P.S. excuse my poor english :o
[Legend General] psyionx:
try this

Rom, the Best so far is Blay0's B 0.7 ROM... here in the forum...

if your interested with CM7... go to their website to download. you can download the nighty or RC built found there.

so download it in advance...

read this thread from the top bottom... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894465

so that you know what you are suppose to do.

and

there's something i want you to try. is skip the third guide and continue here.

let this part as your stop marker...

"So by now you will be on an unrooted Eclair rom. The third guide I used was by David Cogen" from the thread

now you have an unrooted Eclair rom

Connect to wifi or set your APN and download Rom Manager from the market. you can use the search button in the market.

then in Rom Manager. the first on the list "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". click on that to download it.

connect your pc and enable usb storage. brows to E:\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries

and copy recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-legend.zip it to the root of your SD card..

than rename 'recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-legend.zip' to "update.zip"

while you are here rename the "LEGEIMG.zip" to something else to speed things up.

and also copy the ROM that you want to the SD card.

now preparation done...

1. power off your phone...

2. hold Vol - and the power button.

3. navigate to recovery.

4. on the red [!] screen. hold vol+ and power button.

5. do a factory restore.

6. apply update.zip

7. you are in clockworkMod. i assume you know what to do.

8. if boot loop happen after you applied the new rom. take the battery out. and repeat step 1-5 and reboot phone (this happens to me, as i did not do step 5 and proceed).

i've tested it from unrooted eclair. but i tested this after i applied the legeimg.zip from a rooted rom. not too sure if it works for you about half an hour ago. so give it a try.
[XPERIA X8 General] zsolarewicz:
Hi!

After playing w/Floyo 2.2.1 and sd mounting(which does not work properly to me)

ive notice root explorer indicates no root access. Ive installed busybox installer and fetched 1.18 after which...:

-no xrecovery access at boot

-locked home screen but trying to unlock it says: Launcher...unexpectedly stopped etc etc..., DSP manager etc etc - neverending loop.

Any chance to bring the brick back to life ??

Please help !
[XPERIA X8 General] redsock:
i had this problem as well when i first started.

download PC Companion , click Support Zone, Software Update, Repair phone and follow the instructions.

it will delete all your data(of cos not sd card) and bring it back to android 2.1 default :) hope this helps.
[XPERIA X8 General] zsolarewicz:
Yes, I would..but PC Companion or Update Service/Engine state they cannot fetch any software (due to internet access problem), ive turned off router and windows 7 firewall and still nothing..
[XPERIA X8 General] redsock:
thats a weird error... i dont know whats the problem, sorry... :(
[XPERIA X8 General] kuyagaol:
it has to be a version of busybox.

when install xrecovery, there is one u should always keep.

maybe when trying JiT, it need a new busybox,

but after that, put back xrecovery-busybox to system/bin.

it should work. (got same problem twice btw)
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
I have only one solution for you: reflash.. works always XDD

If you cant use the SE update service or PcCompanion, use flashtool from b1nary.. flash it any firmware, at least one that you could install xrecovery to restore or search for updates on SEUS..
[XPERIA X8 General] zsolarewicz:
Thanks guys!

Reflashed succesfuly w/russian ftf and now i am back in 2. 2. 1, btw dont know why it shows ver. 0. 11 instead 0. 12. Sd mounting either not workin for sure or reboots. Eg. Sd ready to be removed and reboot. Anybody succeeded to run app2sd on racht's 0.12?

[Wildfire General] jayvaidya96:
Does anyone know when unrEVOked will be able to find a root for the Wildfire on 2.2.1? I hope they find it soon. From how much they've been delaying it seems like they just don't want to even try. Should I disable the Search online for updates feature so my phone stops updating?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
* They will release it when they want to. We have no option or control over them. If they want to try, it is their wish, if they don't want to try, again it is their wish. Live with it.

* If you are already on 2.2.1, there's no point disabling search for updates because it is extremely unlikely there will be any.

*Sigh*, why cant you read already existing threads before creating another one? Is it too hard?
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
omfg! :eek:seems like you have disabled search function for this forum, this topic gets posted at least once a day:rolleyes:

just re rooted my wildfire on froyo:D
[Wildfire General] bigbossa:
How did you do this ?
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
I was told that if we make a new thread everyday about it they will update it!!
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
when i got the phone it was on 2.1 but did'nt want to wait for froyo so rooted using unrevoked and installed the wildpuzzle rom 2.2.1 then tried the stock rom thought i screwed up when i read the forums and discovered root was not availiable for froyo first i checked hboot version on my phone discovered that it was 0.80.0003 then i installed the wildpuzzle rom back onto the sd card rebooted phone in recovery mode and installed rom from sd card rebooted and waited for it to restart now have root back on wildfire not sure if it will work on the new hboot tho:D
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
WildPuzzle 2.2.1 (Or rather, ANY custom ROM), removes the updated HBOOT. So, obviously, 2.2.1 will be rootable in such cases.
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
so using a custom rom over the top of a stock 2.2.1 as i did makes the wildfire rootable again?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
No. You will not be able to use a Custom ROM over Stock 2.2.1 because installing a Custom ROM requires root.
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
dont know how i managed it but thats what i've done
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
If I understood what you said, then I dont think you have installed the official 2.2.1 update. I cant see that anywhere in your post. (Saying you applied the official 2.2.1 update).

When you went back to the Stock ROM, it was still at 2.1, which is why the HBOOT was still at 0.80. To install the official update, from the Stock ROM, you would have to accept the OTA Update, and then install it, which I don't think you did.
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
when i went back to the stock rom it was deffo 2.2.1 i put the wildpuzzle rom straight over the top of it
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Not possible. There is some error in communication somewhere, but, if it were possible to directly put Custom ROMs over the official 2.2.1, we wouldnt have had threads like this everyday.
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
unless after you rooted and flashed, you then installed a ruu then updated you did not have 2.2. when you went back did you restore a nandroid backup?

you are able to install ota update on rooted phone
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
no back up all i know is that after i updated i had no root on the wildfire and on 2.2 now after putting wildpuzzle rom over the top of it i now haved a rooted wildfire again
[Wildfire General] Bewz:
Share the rom, maybe it is signed xD
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
tell me how to share and i will
[Wildfire General] chubby65:
this is the rom i used to get the 2.2 upgrade http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LF2TWEHJ
[Wildfire General] pawlaqse:
But isn't it possible to modify oryginal rom from HTC to downgrade HBOOT , and then make Wildfire rootable? Or make some crash in HBOOT witch will allow to root? That's a lot of ways, is it possible that HTC make Wildfire really unrootable on 2,2,1? That they make unlockable bootloader? Like a motorola?
[Wildfire General] juan3211:

What does wiping data/cache actually do, whats does it wipe? Is there like a list or something of what it erases? I just want to install new rom and don't want to erase stuff I need. Thx to anyone that can help me understand.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] brzgw:
It wipes all your user data. If u want to keep your apps go get titanium back up and back up all your apps. Then wipe data and cache then after flash a new rom download titanium again and restore apps with data.

Sent from Glacier with CM7
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Payaso1:
Hey thx so it doesn't wipe contacts, ringtones, or other info?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] darinmc:
If you are installing a new ROM the best way to save contacts is to make them google contacts, sync, and then all of your contacts are kept with google, so when you log in with the new rom everything downloads to the phone. with ringtones as long as they are saved in media/sounds they are fine. It's difficult to install a new rom while keeping all of your current user data perfectly intact. Nothing is 100% guaranteed to work, and installing a ROM always comes with risks. If you are THAT dependent upon your userdata in it's current state, maybe you're better off where you are. Where there is a will, there is always a way, but if you are simply trying to save yourself time and effort, working with custom ROMs rarely affords you that comfort. Once you get it set up it can run like a dream, but getting there usually has a few bumps.
[Droid X General] SimsDelt:
Is there a player that is just like the Milestone CoverFlow (iPhone/iPod) music player? I really love how my wife's iphone music player looks with all the albums flowing past... I hate how Cubed3 or any of the aftermarket players looks... non of them accomplish the same look as the player on the iPhone... this is by all means the only thing I like about the iPhone, trust me. Here is a link for the one that the Milestone used... and Fab apparently helped dev it... any love would be appreciated Fab... thanks.

[Epic 4G General] fuji6:
The OP isn't too clear on this, but I don't believe this is intended to fix the frame rate issue at all. It's an attempt to remedy Force Close issues when launching the camera, music player etc. (most apps that use the sd card to store files).

Also I know everybody is frustrated, but before throwing this back as useless. It would be prudent to confirm what bug is being addressed. As we all know there are many bugs. And I do in fact think this will fix an particular issue that I had, but had to use a brute force method to fix.
[Defy General] treax:
Hi guys :)

I think we all would be pleased to have cyanogenmod (or something else) on our defys which isn't possible because of the locked bootloader. So we need either the key or an update that removes this signing stuff.

My question is simple... has anyone ever tried to contact Motorola about that? Sure it would be naive to think we can get the key but the chances for an update should be higher than... well higher than nothing :D

I would do it myself but I don't think my english is good enough for this.
[Defy General] Phut:
In this day and age of technology the best exploits are still social ;)
[Defy General] Bendary:
Well if everyone here in the defy forums agree including me they should sign this.
[Defy General] spamnco:
Why did they lock the bootloader in the first place?

A customizable smartphone would sell much better than a locked one !
[Defy General] Step666:
People who customise/tweak their handsets to the degree of wanting to flash custom ROMs are in the minority.

Sure, an unlocked bootloader might marginally increase sales for Motorola but probably not enough to make any significant difference - after all, we all bought one in spite of the bootloader...
[Defy General] spamnco:
You are probably right but making this customisation easier would make this minority bigger. Many people chose Android smartphones because of the way you can change things on your phone. Remember Firefox which was the first customisable web browser at a time no one even thought it would be possible and look where they are now!

The Defy is rather cheap (the cheapest in its category) and opening it to the geeks (wanabees) would make it a must-have for hundred of thousands of people, possibly millions around the world.
[Defy General] scarface:
I still have the hope that Moto might change that. Since the Xoom is not locked.
[Defy General] Exoten:
Yes but then people would realize the hardware is the same as the droid x and they would not understand the price difference.
