Seems perfect with me, but I have nothing to compare it with. Try going into settings developer options then change the screen to dynamic.

Launcher from bionic and Droid 3?

Any way to get whatever version of "blur" the bionic and Droid 3 ported to the photon?
My friend has a bionic and his wife has the Droid 3 and their versions of blur are smoother and faster than the "blur" we have. Id use the stock launcher if it was like theirs. Ours is slow and laggy. Both demo units at my local stores were laggy as well so I know its notmy phone.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Strange, my Blur runs smooth without any hiccups, and im running setcpu at 608mhz. So its underclocked on stock rom and kernel.

even with this monster of information reading and work to put in, I would love to see what you brought up........ its shady we got the low end of the stick their launcher is way better than ours ud think with nVid gpu we have id be more likely to have some better animations.... but noooo........ id like to see someone port this over... id gladly donate to the dev that can port the bionic launcher over to our mopho....
This has already been attempted. A few devs have taken a look at this. In my limited time I took a shot also and couldn't figure it out. The search button helps a lot before you start a new thread.

I brought this same thing up when the phone first launched. I really want the droid 3 launcher but it looks like that is a pretty hard task. Motorola's file structure seems to be the most complicated besides Samsung and it's harder than probably thought to be..
I don't think we will officially see it because it's really made for the whole DRoid push that verizon has. I saw somewhere that we actually don't have a blur phone so that's why we are not getting it. The verizon phones are running motoblur.

RECOMMEND best custom GALAXY S 3 ROM

I got my pebble blue galaxy s3 few days ago and I am on stock rom which is fast and smooth.I disable the home screen lag by disabling svoice.Galaxy s3 is the best phone right now and I like it a lot.
But wondering if I should root it and put a custom rom to use titanium backup and take advantage of rooted rom and other stuff.
So please recommend me a custom rom which can make s3 better and faster.

I rooted my phone on the same day
I wasn't able to stand it more than 5 hours without rooting the s3.
Before i had it in my hands i was decided not to root it in the first month to see
if the hardware isn't faulty. But then it came different very quickly :laugh:
Btw.. i have the pebble blue version too.. which isn't very blue in my opinion
If your planning on using a sdcard, I think roms based on cm9 are a bit finiky with them working with exfat. I'm using Foxhound rom. It's got great features and my 64gb exfat sd works great.

You shouldn't have to disable S Voice. Go into your settings - developer options - windows animations scale and transition animation scale and turn them to 0.5 or off. That will help volumes.
Try all of them out & find out which is best for you. None of us can answer that question because what is best for us, might not be best for you. Best thing about flashing is that you learn so much in the process.
omega is quiet good and fast, in aroma i staller i choosed no blootware version and now i have stable and fast custom rom. I use 5.1 version

[Q] Dark shadow on top of screen...

Hi all,
For starters I would like to apologize for not being able to post screen shots in my post but my post couldn't isn't high enough yet...
I installed the leaked version of 4.2.1 for the GT-I9300 SIII yesterday and noticed the appearance of a shadowy dark bar at the top of the home screen.
It's particularly apparent on the Jelly Bean "panoramic" view as it ends 3/4 of the way along the top of the screen.
The more you go in to the 4.2.1 been fling screen the darker the bar gets.
It's not always visible on the lock screen depending on the choice of
I have been looking around for a way to resolve this and have found some topics like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716820
But nothing that has helped me to get rid of it.
Any help would be very much appreciated.......
PS I'm still quite new to this so please dumb it down a little (not too much don't be going thinking I'm an idiot ) so my tired brain can grasp what I'm supposed to do
I only noticed it on mine after changing the dpi...havent switched back to check if it was the case for sure tho.

Known issue with the leaked ROM. We've to live with it till another leak, at least. That's the fun of it.
It intensifies if you reboot your phone till it is a dark band. One way of 'resetting' it back to its initial shadow is to change the wallpaper and back to your wallpaper.
Those who understand that this is a leak, will not complain about the bugs. Good things are afoot. And the ride will be worth it, I reckon. :thumbup:

I found something...if you apply a live wallpaper and then your wallpaper, it seems to reset the dark shadow, if not eliminate it. I did this yesterday and the dark band does not seem to have intensified much after 24 hours, as it was wont to do earlier.
Interesting that the shadow does not show up in live wallpapers...

I suddenly have on my Samsung galaxy s3 screen a type of white lines shadow/reflection from the left side across to the right, it hazes up the screen a bit and don't know how to get rid of it.

Bounty:: mini tab ROM based of galaxy note 10.1

Going to start a ROM bounty here.
Plain and simple i love the idea of the ROM and would like to see a stable build for us.
Bounty will be played upon dev completing a stable build with no major bugs (ie. cell/data/3g,late working/MMS,GPS etc)
I know this can be done and would love to do it if i had the skill sets or the time.
Here's an idea for anyone interested or would like to know specifically what I'm talking about
