I opened the Google Music Application and it decided to form it in landscape instead of portrait, oh well. My real gripe here is how the phone seems to be able to handle more effects and images smoothly in landscape rather than in portrait. I scrolled through all my albums in landscape without a hiccup, no reloads of album art or skips while scrolling and it seems even smoother to scroll than in portrait. In fact, as soon as I switched to portrait it froze n force closed.
Is there a reason for all of this?

No, MB870 is the Droid X2. He's most likely rooted. Are you on stock? Cuz I had the same issues in the gallery on stock. Since I've rooted and ROM'd my device, everything is as smooth as butter.

For real. I've messed up one step here n there while flashing everything. It's really crucial to 1. Wipe data. 2. Clear cache. 3. Clear dalvik. Then flash everything in order, wether it be the ROM itself or the gapps. It's like number one to follow whatever order the Dev's instructions are. I cant tell you how many times I've had to SBF and redo everything in order for everything to run smooth and no lag. Barely any fc's as you stated. So yes, I think a fresh start and a clean install is exactly what you need.

My homescreen isn't as smooth as the video reviews ive seen and was just curious if its because I didn't do the ota update or if my unit is defective? Just getting some pointers. I tried deleting sine Widgets. Launcher pro is sluggish as well. I'm trying to see if maybe an app I installed could be the cause
I notice when I run a live wall paper its pretty bad as well. I used a program to backup my apps off my old EVO and restored just the apps on my 3d....I'm starting to wonder if that may be the cause??

Sinse I updated my E3D, the homescreen hasn't been smooth either. Maybe its a bug.

No update and my **** is smoother than Billy D Williams.
No update, the Green Friggin Hornut can wait. Smooth as butter with live wallpaper and ADW Launcher EX and several widgets.

What did you use to restore your apps? I would suggest trying a factory reset, then install your apps back one at a time. You can use an app called 'app list backup' to save just a list of the apps you use. Then when you restore, it takes you right to the market to download the apps you need, one at a time. If you still have lag after the factory reset, then I'd be a bit concerned (my phone has 0 lag at all). What type of lag are you talking about? Scrolling homescreens? Opening apps? Scrolling your contacts? All of the above?
I'm pretty smooth..and as the day goes by I am more satisfied with the phone..this may be s stupid question ..but what is a hard reset ? A battery pull

A hard reset basically brings the phone back to the state in which HTC sent the phone to sprint. Deletes everything accept for the operating system.

Ima try that and see if it works. Ima do a factory reset and restore my apps one by one. Because none of my apps show up in in the market when I go to "my apps" menu.....just shows my purchased apps so I can't update them at all.
The lag is mainly rough scrolling through home screens and small delay when opening messaging app like 2 seconds....
I think the phone was smooth when I got.it but I can't remember. If it still rough after this ima take it back tomorrow and exchange it

blah i wish i had read this thread before i decided to do the update. my phone is currently in hte last phase of updating :/
This is a totaly naked 2.3.4 ROM to be used as a base for making more ROMS
What do you get? Not a hell of allot
Accounts
Contacts
Dialer
Market
Settings
SU
System Recovery
You also get a few mods
SD storage flip/flop
Pulldown Toggles
1% Battery
Massively de-bloated (Sure you may be able to remove some more things but you wont have a stable functioning device you can make calls from) Dialer and Contacts can be removed as well but i didnt want to release something you couldnt @ least make a call with.
Everything has been de-odexed, optimized, zip-aligned and re-signed. Just enough to add your account and use the phone. Everything else is up to you. Are you really picky about each and every app? Well this may be the ROM for you.
Google Backup/Restore is functioning so it will re-populate market apps.
Aspiring ROM makers are welcome to take this and theme it and add whatever apps they desire.
MUST be on 2.3.4
MUST clear data/cache
Download
Wow. Haven't tried yet but if this is truly working I see great things coming from this base soon.
AOSP or Blur? Any Launcher?
The apps that are there are stock.
The launcher was patched for roatation.
So, does stock mean they're aosp? Or blur?

The only smooth launcher is motorolas own launcher, every single market launcher is unsmooth when scrolling, is this true for everybody else? Does anybody else know a launcher which would scroll smoothly on our razrs?
Launcher Pro works flawlessly, before and after updating.

Yes horizontal scrolls are lagging for me
I use go launcher ex and it is smooth as silk. Blows every other phone I've ever had away. Makes my GF's DX feel ten years old, and even my DX2 is slow in comparison.
Using Launcher2, the stock Android Gingerbread. Seem OK to me. The default Motoblur also OK and not bad at all.
I am not picky about the smoothness of the icons' scrolling, just what one of my iOS fan friends told me. The overall system performance, reception and stability are more important than menu scrolling. IMHO.
Thank you.
If you want smoothness then you should go for a WindowsPhone, but ADW Launcher is coming close. In fact, even launcher pro has been running very smooth on the Razr so maybe there are some settings you've missed?
Go launcher, ADW and launcher pro all work smooth for me. Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are flawless.

I believe ADW is so smooth due to the fact it uses harware accelerators. Go Launcher simply runs off the phones RAM so it can become laggy at times.

Pretty sure Ander Webs said hardware acceleration is not utilized as it breaks backwards compatibility. That's close to quotable. It was on Google+. He wants to use it but to fully upgrade ADW it would have to be a separate app.
Again guys, use the terminal suggestion I mentioned. Works wonders. Takes away redraws as well.

Well, on anderwebs website it says "Use of hardware acceleration on specific features when possible."

It's just as easy as the bionic man. Put Safestrap on afterwards, make a backup immediately, and you're fine. Safestrap is a wonderful safety net. Boots into recovery everytime. As long as you make that stock backup you're good.

You will have to scroll down through the comments to find Ander Webb. However, it's a great read, so I would recommend reading the entire article and all of the comments.
EDIT: Here is his quote: "This is a great post, I wish 99% users would read and understand it. But unluckily they just want their hardware acceleration turned on and the magic powers of it doing everything fly.
On a more technical note, I've noticed how expensive canvas operations (save layer, porterduff filters, etc) run about 2-4 times faster in software layers than hardware layers, and noticed how great hardware layers perform when using drawing caches.
The bad part is: for a developer, usually there's no easy way of changing the rendering pipeline while maintaining backwards compatibility. So I end up still doing almost everything on a canvas and loosing the benefits of the hardware acceleration for new devices: (" --Ander Webbs (ADW creator)

Stopped working after today's CM9 nightly (Aug 8, 2012)
I installed it yesterday actually, and it was working great on my CM9 nightly version at the time. Very cool when it tells you how long it will take to get to work/home.
This morning, after updating to the latest nightly, it got replaced by the default google search box. So I tried re-installing it but I couldn't get it working on the latest version of CM9. Re-installing/uninstalling/re-installing still didn't make it work properly.
Did something in the current nightly break it, or is it something I'm missing I wonder?
Sounds like the nightly brokie it. I'm still running stock ICS.
I installed it a few hours ago. It crashes randomly. not sure of the cause, could be a bad flash. Still wondering about the auto-traffic info on the way home. Dunno how long it'll take to "learn" my routes.

It was working perfectly on cm9 nightly about 7-29 and now on stable cm9 pressing search gives the normal Google search box and long pressing search goes to voice search on Google now so I can't access the main menu. Tried wiping cache, uninstalling, everything and I guess it's just broken

I'm pretty sure all you have to do is go to your app drawer and you will have an app just called Google. This will take you to your google now page with your cards. Give it a shot.
Thanks for the help, but no dice. Installing the 08-11 cm9 nightly fixed the tap search thing (makes it the Google now? version, looks similar to old search box but with similar design to Google now) but clicking the app in the drawer brings it back to that screen. Cards aren't a big deal for me but it appears different versions of cm9 have differing success.

This is what I get when I open a menu, drawer or app. Tried every setting and no joy.
