Guest JohnPorter Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Ever since switching to the stock Android launcher my phone has been super fast! I posted something on the FLB thread about launchers but I didn't get any replies so it would probably be best suited here: I have to agree with that. Although I never had issues when using ADW or LauncherPro, I find the Stock Android Launcher better, feels faster and simpler to use, and always returns you to the top of the drawer if you've previously scrolled to the bottom.

Guest Totyasrác Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 You can flash the updates anytime, just clear dalvik-cache afterwards. Whooooops - I forgot that - I've just done that (2 days after installing factory launcher :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gusthy Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hello! Is possible to disable services such as GTalk? thanks AFAIK it is not gmai, but market is what goes wrong. If anybody checks it, it is nice, my Pulse is under repair now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was a feature rather than a bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnPorter Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I thought that was a feature rather than a bug! I'm not sure. When I used ADW or LauncherPro it always remembered the last position before I returned to the homepage or opened an app, but with the Stock Launcher it doesn't but that's how I like it.

Guest giabbe1 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 news on this topic? i'm actually very interested... how many ppl tried this? and to what result?? furthermore, can someone write a noobie's guide on the steps needed? someone threw the idea of writing a list of things that could be removed, together with their effect on the system etc, but it looks like it hasn't been done. what about doing it? tks to all I will :) but I need my Pulse back from repair before.

My phone runs fast enough with these apps kept in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gusthy Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well, I guess noone should ever say 'enuff' - evolution would stop right away :) well myPulse is back. I will sort out which file iz responsible for twitter then write a noob guide, hopefully in the evening. It is not about speed, but multitasking - without this tweak I wasnt able to use Nimbuzz or other instant messaging apps.Since I do not use twitter sync, I didnt realize that problem.

It is not about speed, but multitasking - without this tweak I wasnt able to use Nimbuzz or other instant messaging apps.Since I do not use twitter sync, I didnt realize that problem. After all it really IS about speed - if only we would never have the issue of home needed to be restarted so often... Or even app being killed without notice (GTalk)... A noob guide would be awesome - if you have time could you please try the apps being killed one by one and try ti figure out the results... I guess most people use socializing apps often (twitter, Facebook, Fring, eBuddy), then google services (Mail, Talk), BT/wifi connections... So focusing on these would satisfy most of the users if neing able to keep them alive while using the tweak. Cheers!

Guest gusthy Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Before polishing this solution I tried something else: I removed SFP.apk and all the apks whose names contain drm. Maybe I am not able to play any drm protected music. I don't know what sfp does, everything works well since then, the only thing I didnt try is wifi, I will check it soon. But I won other 10MB of RAM. now it is between 40 and 58 MB. I also replaced the keyboard to SmartKeyboard, it seems to have lower memory footprint. fingers crossed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest il_cholo Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 go gusthy go!!! there are elemental things to keep: BT, WIFI, 3G, mails, FB, twitter, music at least mp3 files, videos at least mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest il_cholo Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 mp4 isn´t it used for video recording? or am I wrong? correct me if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest giabbe1 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I tried it, broke twitter contact syncing. My phone runs fast enough with these apps kept in anyway. personally I don't use so it wouldn't be a problem for me. I also use fb via browser (the app for android always messes up something) so I would go for the most minimalistic version of this tweak, i.e. if I manage to get home, messages, phone and browser stay in memory I would be very happy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gusthy Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) mp4 isn´t it used for video recording? or am I wrong? correct me if so. I don' know, but video recording works. also its playback. Edited August 12, 2010 by gusthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gusthy Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) @M31: thx, then my soul is rest :D)) well, I never used pc suite, and adb functionality isnt broken now edit: I forgot to mention that removing this two apk's helps because they try to run constantly wven if I kill them.
