Definitely not the stock launcher - it's slow and laggy.
ADW is what I'm using at it's very solid. It hasn't FC once and the only redraws I'm having is with expanded picture widgets.
I used LPP for a day or so and it also seemed solid, however I have read in a lot of forums that people are having issues with it on the X2.
If I were you, I would pick a launcher that you like the best, and then lock home in memory with scripts that are floating around on these forums. I used the V6 Supercharged script today and I noticed my picture widgets are filling in much quicker.
Just my two cents...

I too use ADW, much better than the blurhome.

At first I was using lpp it was great I enjoyed the widgets that lpp has. I recently changed to go launcher ex I love it. It's extremely customizable. I also enjoyed the scrolling dock bar like on lpp. I haven't experienced any lag whatsoever using this launcher as well.

I'm using ADW because I was used to it coming from Cyanogenmod 7 on the Incredible. It's been very smooth and no hiccups whatsoever, way better than stock. But then, this evening after I disconnected from my vehicle charger and headed into a 3 hour meeting, my battery went from 75% to 25% when I came out, and the phone was in my pocket the entire time. I checked SpareParts+ and it said my phone was awake the entire 3 hours and blamed "Android System". I'm not sure what is going on now.

I just bought the Droid X2 because I got tired of waiting for the Samsung Galaxy X II to hit the US market. All the reviews I've read say the Droid X2 hardware is way ahead of everything else for performance and functionality. And after having the phone for a week now, I would agree. After playing with the phone in the store, I knew the Moto Blur UI was horrible and would need a lot of tweaking. But I figured that the dual processor could take anything I threw at it in that regard.
With ADW, some icon packs, and several aftermarket widgets, the phone now looks as great as it performs. I am extremely happy with the results, and am experiencing no lags at all. (I had to root it to get rid of that awful "DROID" sound the phone makes when it reboots.)

lpp even if im the only 1
i like lpp more i might be the only and my home screen doesnt redraw but maybe everyone 250 to 500 times i go to my home screen and thats not much i dont think and i love lpp widgets and i love my 3d app draw and its sooooooo much faster than blur but if u want something other than lpp id say go with golauncher its decent

SPB Shell 3D is a great fast apparently for this and is getting great reviews. Get it from market and give it a try.

@ that cost? No thanks! You working for the dev? I'll stick with the cheaper more customizable Home Screen Apps....

iv been using GO launcher. its pretty cool. lots of custom flick options ie. cube, roll, ect. free software. iv had no lag or battery problems so far and its way faster than blur home

Thunderbolt, why is the UI so LARGE

So currently I have a Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, and Droid Incredible... I have been flipping the coin as to if I go back to the iphone 4 for a bit or get the HTC Thunderbolt since I love the incredible and it by far is the smoothest device compared to the iphone.
Today I went to play with the TB and it was kinda laggy, I even rebooted it and closed up all the crap that was running. I know that with roms this will change, however what concerned me the most was...
The UI is HUGE. We have that large screen and the UI is just jumbo, like it was made big for people with poor eye sight.
What I want to know is if there are any DPI mods like I have on my X that makes everything smaller.
I am not going to buy this phone if with all that screen I have to deal with jumbo UI. I did look thru settings and didn't find anything to adjust this.
I need help fellow members! I can't make my decision of TB vs iPhone 4 without your help!
Once we have root, the dpi will be the first thing I change. I'm used to 209. This phone is awesome, BTW.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Well basically I have until the 24th to decide. I keep getting stuck on how smooth the iphone always runs. However I am getting there on my incredible and this is faster than that.
I think this is substantially better than the iPhone. You will be happy to own one of the best devices ever made instead of a device that is falling behind.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I also cannot wait to change the DPI. Hopefully custom ROMs will automatically have this set to something more reasonable!
launcher pro
set to 5 rows and adjust app drawer size and its perfect
set web browser to far
not laggy.. believe me i had almost all the phones lol the tb its a fast device...
might have been because it was a display phone. I have the incredible now with CM 7 on it and it is as smooth as i have seen a droid to date.
I know about the launcher pro thing, but that doesnt change the rest of the UI.
I like to have everything small, so I can use up all that awesome screen.
I just don't know if this is worth while to hop from the droid x/incredible to...
esp no 4g in my area.

Yeah. Launcher pro is Faster than stock Launcher (IMO) and Lets you customize how many rows and columns you want. Ima just Use LP and Beautiful widgets like I always have. Im not to big of a fan of Sense, although im Curious to what the new Sense has to offer. Cant wait until My TBolt Arrives (ordered online)

I had the sense from the Z and it wasn't much better. It's better than moto blur, but I still think its crowding.
I need this DPI thing to happen or else I may be tempted to go back to iphone 4
Haven't had a chance to play around with, but heard really good things from my VZW Rep. I get my hands on one tomorrow, so we will see what I think.

Switching to GSII but..

Hi,
I've been using HTC devices for some time now, but my next phone is most likely a GSII or potentially the Galaxy Nexus.
However, I'm very much depeding on the SMS, Calendar, Agenda and Contacts HTC widgets. So I'm very interested to learn if anybody here has managed to use these HTC widgets on a Samsung device?
Thanks!
First, I too was debating the Nexus, but IMO it's way over-rated and overpriced. The screen curvature wasn't so important to me...
But to your question. I just switched to the GS2 from the HD2, and love it. There are widgets in Android for everything imaginable. I've used the calendar, contacts, and agenda widgets (chose to delete them cause of battery life, I try to squeeze every last drop out of it and I don't tend to need those widgets much). I can just as easily open a shortcut to check appointments or my schedule.
As to whether they are the same as the HTC widgets...they can be. If you look around the Android market, dev's have tried to port just about every aspect of Sense to Android. And in Android, often you have much more control than I did with my HD2 (before I flashed an Android build)...stuff like setting colors, or the app that opens when you press the widget.
You really can't go wrong if choosing between the GS2 and the Nexus, you can just spend twice as much money as you needed to ;-p
Those widgets are specifically for Sense as of yet it's not been ported. The touchwiz ones are not that bad if you don't like them the market offers many others.
I came from Sense to touchwiz and adapted to it. After a while you won't miss sense.
By the way SGS2 is the better phone compared to the nexus.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
If you want the clock/weather Widgets, you can buy Beautiful Widgets in the market.
I, too, had an HTC phone before. Didn't care for sense, so it didn't bother me any when I got the S2.

Thanks guys!
Appreciate your comments and perspective.
I'll probably go for the GS2 due to the better spec and pricing not least. How knows, there might be a GS3 pretty soon...

How smooth is it?

Hello guys a question about the performance of the phone
Is there any FRAMEDROP or STUTTERING when moving around the UI especialliy when OPENING and CLOSING APPS if you could can, can you close and open google maps and tell me if it lag or fps drop?
Being extremely OCD about android lag as i have return and sold various device such as the tab 10.1, NOTE 1, and the nexus 10 because the lagginess and stuttering when opening apps drove me CRAZY.
Now pardon me if i sound rude but can your eyes notice the difference between 30 fps and 60fps? I think a lot of people claiming that their device has no LAG simply cannot TELL what LAG even is and their eyes are untrained therefore wrongfully stating that their device is “smooth” all the time.
I do see lag in maps. No device is perfect, even my iphone 5 chugged sometimes.

Oh yea INSIDE of maps is fine idc about that im talking about when OPENING and CLOSING the map app.
There is pretty significant lag throughout the UI. The Nexus 4 w/ the same specs, minus Sense UI and the 1080p screen, is much smoother. The biggest issue for me in day to day use is scrolling left and right through GTalk sessions. It lags BAD. But that's the only thing that really bothers me at this point in my day to day use.
But the screen makes up for it.
Opening and closing apps is pretty darn smooth, especially once the apps are cached in the ram.
I dont notice any lag. But I use Nova Launcher prime and not Sense.
Very fast launcher.

Honestly I haven't seen this at all. Might be a device per device issue. I have no lag that I can tell. It's really smooth and responsive. Then again I've never used a Nexus 4 so maybe it's smoother. I still wouldn't use the word lag.
This topic would be again subjective just like "Hows the battery"
However, I have been an owner of these devices in past 3 months -
iPhone 5, iPad Mini, Xperia V, One X+, Galaxy S3, Note 2, Butterfly
A lag will almost always be present in all devices at some time or the other. However, I see where you are coming from. So to answer your question, NO, there is no lag.
I am using Virtuous ROM (even Stock ROM for the matter) with Power Saving On (for CPU) and the only times I have seen lag -
1. After reboot when you go one homescreen to another the widget needs to reload data atleast once.
2. When entering app tray after reboot or app install, it refreshes the app list.
In normal use and opening/closing apps, there is no lag and YES, I can differentiate between 30/60 fps. Example at hand, try scrolling contacts/tones in Whatsapp on a S3 and Butterfly/DNA

Thank you for this man really appreciate it, People on the nexus 10 forum was like NO NO LAG AT ALL!!! Lo and behold i bought it and about to return it after a week So you think the xperia z would be a pretty good bet for a lagless experience? Considering the hardware is similar.
Sense 4+ does have lag regardless what people say. It is there throughout phone UI. Be it settings, desktop or whatever.
However there is no unusual delay in opening or closing apps. And general performance is great in apps.
But if you are coming from Nexus 4, or Note 2, yeah this phone lacks that buttery smooth feel by default.
However with De-sensed Viper with LK kernel and Nova Launcher prime with fast animation = as close as it gets to Nexus 4 UI experience. It is significantly smoother to use. AOSP contacts is blazing fast as it should be.
Note 2 is buttery smooth ? ... Simple test ... Scroll a long list of items like ringtones on both Samsung phones and HTC side by side ... Let me know how it goes (actually don't since I have already played with them and know the answer)

You can take my opinion with a grain of salt if you want to, but I am probably in the top tier of ocd people when it comes to ui lag or slowness. I simply won't put up with it.
I owned the DNA and now the Note 2. Don't let anyone here fool you, the DNA is quite sluggish in homescreen scrolling. To the point that it was one of the main reasons that I got rid of the phone.
There isn't really a ton of lag, although there is a little bit. But HTC for some reason chose to slow down the animations so the scrolling feels heavy. I absolutely hated it.
My personal opinion and conclusion is that they did it to mask how heavy Sense is. Because I had a Rezound and the animations on that phone were much faster but it was a complete lag and stutter fest.
And I always laugh at the people who brush it under the rug and just say to run Nova and you will be fine. If you are going to do that, why not buy a phone with better battery life and expandable storage? Because Nova will make any current gen android device run like butter. I personally buy a phone for the stock launcher and software that it has.
Either way, good luck with your decision!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
For some reason unknown to me and I think many devs Samsung doesnt utilize hardware rendering to the fullest and ends up with jerkiness in all apps ... Htc does and its very much apparent when scrolling in even 3rd party apps ... I think in the end you need to play with both phones for few minutes to see the difference and make a decision

I done this as well a bit ago, but it's all just creating the illusion of being "faster". It really doesn't do anything to eliminate the lag and stutters.
Kinda what I thought, just thought I'd throw it out their for anyone to try
I turn off animations on all my devices.
Funny thing is, I've not noticed any lag or stuttering on my 2 week old G3. Wonder what you lag folks installed that makes it noticeable.

What phone did you come from previously?
Most people that don't notice the stutters haven't had a recent device. A flaw of always changing phones. Compared to the HTC One M8 and the Galaxy S5, the G3 lags, stutters and is just sluggish feeling overall. Doesn't mean it's a bad phone by any means, just isn't all the polished compared to the other phones released this year.
The lag on mine is predominantly when I open the app drawer and swipe. Other than that it's not bad imo. I came from the m8 and it is more fluid and polished, but I didn't care for sense or the phone in general

Droid Maxx has been my daily driver the past 11 months. I've also been using a Nexus 5, HTC One M7, Nexus 7, Galaxy S3 (cyanogenmod) routinely.
I just don't see the stutters and lags so many complain about. Okay, maybe in one area... opening the task switcher, if there's a bunch of stuff running might be called laggy, but apps open fine and run fine.

Agree with this, coming from the Note 3. Everything seems smoother except the recent apps/task switcher. I like the layout of it.. but it's just a bit slow. But even that is me nitpicking.
I've got a Note 3 and S4. I don't get any lag or stutter whatsoever on my G3. Loving the G3, selling the Note 3.
The UI stutter seems to be isolated to different devices. Mine is when I open the app drawer and swipe initially. Other than that I have zero lag or stutter. Also, switching the above to .5 does make your device a bit more speedy.
Coming from Z2 I find this device to be much more snappier......

I use Nova Launcher (and have on all my devices since it was first in beta). Absolutely no lag in app drawer, or anywhere else. Fast and smooth. Never used the stock launcher, so perhaps there is some with that app.
Same. I really like stock LG but Im sure I'll switch to nova before long like always

Out of curiosity, I switched to the stock launcher, and when I first opened the app drawer, there was like a one second delay before the app icons appeared. Same when going to widgets. A bit of stutter when flipping thru the drawer, as well. Interesting. Back to Nova, fast, smooth, zero lag / hesitation.
I came from an S4 running a SaberMod ROM and to me my G3 is snappy as hell. Took me a couple weeks to remove all the bloat and get it set up to my liking and now it's even snappier and Battery life is awesome too.
It's a great phone

There is lag in the messaging app, keyboard. Random delays opening and closing apps, home screen redraws, stutters when closing/switching apps. App drawer takes a second to open and another second to populate.
It's like that for a lot of people, fresh out the box. I understand a lot of people love the g3 and maybe you guys really don't see it, but it's there for most. There are a lot of people who are gonna just argue because they don't want to admit it, but maybe some phones are just better. It isn't as snappy as the s5 or m8 tho

I can't speak to the S5 or the M8, but I've run the G3 side-by-side with my Note 3 and S4, and it is considerably quicker than the S4 (not surprisingly), and marginally quicker than the Note 3. And, zero lag, hesitation, or stutter with any app, any drawer--none anywhere. Not sayin' some don't experience these issues, but I do not.

I've got no axe to grind one way or the other, and I'm not in denial. You don't know what lag is unless you had a Samsung device a few years ago when they are still using RFS file system. I remember having to use symlink hacks pointing system files to the sdcard to prevent it.
I just quick searched YouTube and didn't see any standout videos that actually demonstrate this awful lag. It would be interesting to view a few.

Well, it's gonna be hard to capture lag on a youtube video, but there are some. I simply googled LG G3 Lag and had pages of reviews and switched to video and had pages of videos. Granted, some of them say things like "what lag", but there are enough there. As I said, maybe some of you guys don't see it, but more people would just rather not admit it. This phone is nice, but it's not polished. It's gonna happen when you do things first like QHD screens.
Trust me, I know exactly what lag is. I've been with Android a long time and have tried more than a few phones. I still have an old Hero here I like to fire up every so often just to remember what it was like to have bootloader freedom.

I change devices every 6 months or less. I had an s5 on launch day (which I returned in my 14 day window because I couldn't take the lag and egonomics), have used my wife's note 3 quite a bit, and had a g2 just before updating to the g3. I don't see the lag. It's not as smooth as an HTC device I will give you that (had the m7 as well) but it's SO much better than any samsung out right now. The lag on the s5 is ridiculous honestly. The note 3 really isn't any better.
I have no blinders on either. Because of how often I can change devices I am honestly looking for a reason. I didn't get lag on the stock launcher, but I have switched to Nova and find it to feel just a bit quicker.

Advise and help-android home screens and launchers

Hi all.
I have a Jiake Jk-760 running android 4.4.2 KitKat with a 5inch screen.
This phone looks very much like a Samsung Galaxy A5.
Whether it's a clone of the A5 or not I'm not sure but yes its a cheap Chinese thing but I don't spend big money on very good phones because they don't last me much more than 7-8 months (working in agriculture)
Anyway I want to strike a balance between battery life (which on this phone is so so) and displaying all the info I need on my home screen.
I just want people to share their experiences and advise as I appreciate any info anyone is willing to share!
Nova seems a battery drainer to me, running the standard built in lollipop theme and cLOCK weather widget.
Themer is a lagfest and Google now works fine.
What else can i try as I'm terrible for chopping and changing my set up almost daily?

Seems if someone actually has one of these cheapy chinese things most people here seem to scream and head for the nearest jungle or very large forest, not to come out for 100 years until the Cheap Chinese handsets are long gone.

Well I'm just going to say one thing.
Im not asking for anything and I'm not whinging as some like to say alot here.
I'm just making a regular users opinion and feed back.......
I'm using Nova 3.3 on my Jiake JK 760 running kit kat which is a Samsung galaxy A5 clone supposedly........
Since the 3.3 update Nova has become a real battery drainer.
I have nothing else installed.
Changed my launcher to Google now, bit more lag but no battery drain.
Nova never used to drain my battery but I do like the new design......some launchers are now so alike I can't tell the difference between them!
Let me say again, this is an opinion and I don't expect a lot of abuse back saying I'm wrong or others don't have the battery drain I experience, its an opinion and no one has to agree with it!
my battery life is usually 10 hours plus with data and WiFi enabled, not bad for a cheap Chinese Clone.
Just in case anyone decides to mention the fact I'm using Nova on a cheap Chinese phone, I also use it on a 2nd gen MotoG and a galaxy S running lollipop........ And Nova drains the battery far more than other launchers which are available.
