'Lag' when returning to the home screen.

Does anybody else get 'lag' when returnign to the home screen (using ADW, Zeam or Launcher pro).

When I exit a app It takes a few seconds to load up all the apps/icons on the home screen, and in that time I can't do anything! It lasts anywhere between 5-10 seconds.

So is this just me? I am using A2SD on a class 2 card, I'm guessing this could be the cause?....

I think everyone gets it. If you look around the forums you can find a fix for it by editing the local.prop

Yes I get this too with the Paul 2.1 R7 t-mob style rom. I do find that ADW is faster than the others. With the Oscillation/Sunrise rom this is not such a problem. Its much quicker but prob not quite as quick as home canvas. I don't know about the A2SD class 2 thing? Sounds plausible. Anyone know?

That sounds good. Could someone post a link here if they find it please. I don't really have time to trawl today. I'll check tonight if I get chance. Its a pain being so slow to return to home but really like ADW

Add "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" at the end of /data/local.prop using RootExplorer or similar....

Cheers

Does this work with Zeam/Launcher pro? or just ADW? Thanks :(

Thanks for this. I thought this was some unavoidable problem/general Pulse&2.1 dogslowness and that I was going to have the dump the launcher. But this has fixed it a treat.

I love MoDaCo :(

Well, in fact, not with "any" of them. Theoretically yes, but some home screens are so big that even this trick doesn't help them reviving even a simple applications start - one of them is PandaHero. It is a sad thing, for Panda Hero is one of the most impressive home screens. (Same situation with Panda Home, they are not the same home screens).

Yeah...it was reported buy other people using that ROM, I guess you need to make one buy your self (I'm not sure how that will affect the ROM though).

I'm using Paul's r7 modified buy my self and I'm very satisfied buy now

You need to add that line in /data/local.prop, not in /sdcard/data/local.

Also, if you're using CM, Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Performance -> Lock Home (or Launcher, can't remember) in memory. It does the same thing.

how? what do i do exactly? step by step if possible. and by the way, on root explorer, you have to have a rooted phone to access the stuff on your phone memory. i have another which allows me to edit some things in my phone. plz step by step

Oh you mean your phone isn't rooted? :(

If it's not rooted you can't do this.

Are you still running the stock 1.5 ROM, i.e. the one that came with your phone?

See the "Ultimate Pulse Owner's Guide".

Install the official 2.1 update and then install FLB-MOD 1.7.

That should make your phone much faster & better. Including no more lag in home screen :(

Me 2, can't find local.prop on data folder (astro - build.prop, and some *.prop can be found). I install CM6 AIO ver 0.4 and install Gingerbear launcher replace ADW. can't find this :(

I think you can put it in build.prop.

But if you're using CM, see my previous post to lock the launcher in memory.

If you are using LauncherPro you can keep the launcher in memory too. Enable it at the launcher configuration screen.

Edit: Yep entry have to be in the build.prop
