I am a fan of custom lockscreens especially of widget locker, i have installed it on my stock 2.3.3 and have big lags when switching to homescreen.
Sometimes from 1-5 sec, it really sucks.
Have thought that it was a System Problem with the lags, but now on the Cranium RC1, I installed it once again and its still lagging, maybe not as much as @ the stock 2.3.3(thats from the Cranium Performance optimation I think).
But in effect its not acceptable 4 me this lag.
My solution...go with the stock Lockscreen and its hell fast switching to Homescreen havent seen ONE lag.
Someone made this experience?
Thanks
olli
yes
same to me
i also switched back to the stock lockscreen because of this lags
it was annoying...
And the the stock-lockscreen runs smooth on cranium rom? On my stock-rom there are lags...

ive just uninstalled it also, it killed my battery life.

On cranium rom stock lock screen runs awesome.

With go locker from go launcher, the lag is gone most of the time..
Only I get a double lockscreen sometimes but I also have that with all the other lockscreens such as widget locker.

Solution for double lockscreen is simple, just force stop the lockscreen and start it again.

same question here

I found the same thing pretty much, that's why I've kept with TW for now, and to be honest, this is the only device I can actually cope with Touch Wiz on lol.

Exactly the same here, Launcher Pro is no match for the stock TW....
The same here GoLauncher EX was too laggy...TW seems to run smoother than others---

I use Go Launcher EX and don't find it lags at all. I did use Titanium backup to stop TouchWiz launcher and its widgets from running.
Also you can download Spare Parts Pro for free and set Windows and Transition Animations to fast, this will speed up all the animations on the phone.
Hey I'm also using GoLauncher and at first there was a little lag but I solved it in this way:
Goto Preferences, Screen settings, Screen Transition Effects, Custom, and set Speed = 25 and Elastic = 55.
I've done that and its very usable, still stutters on drawing a GoWidget but I only have one so it's all good
I'd say increasing the speed would cause more stutter as its trying to redraw faster, so slower is the key.
I can't wait until they fully utilise the gpu as that seems to be causing the issue, either that or the fact that I haven't fully disabled TouchWiz..

Try zeam launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings. The smoothest launcher I was able to use on the note.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Go launcher is slow plain and simple because of all the addons. Ads ex or launcher pro are much faster.
Thanks. What can I do to change lock screen instead go launcher. New ones faster but hard to choose

For the lock screen try widget locker. I use it and adw ex for the launcher. You could also try mi locker.
I've found that ADW EX and Zeam Launcher are both good, and both are faster than the TouchWiz stock launcher.
I'm using Zeam right now - not as many customization options as ADW, but I like it a lot.
Gingerbread launcher free, bye Eugene373 (currently a dev for 989). Super simple, not for those looking for super customizable.
I love it.

Im using Zeam right now. I switch mostly between zeam and qq launcher.
Adw ex is also good.
Ive seriously tried every launcher. These are my favs.

Sent from my SGH-I727R using XDA App
I like go launcher ex and adw. Adw is faster but it crashes too often. Launcher pro is nice too but I prefer it on aosp or cyanogen roms. We don't have that on the skyrocket yet.

I have my phone underclocked to 972 MHz, and my go launcher ex is running beautifully, no lag? So I don't understand y u would want to switch. However LauncherPro is my favorite, and I only switched because of a lack of updates
I use LauncherPro and love the customization and widgets. I also have used milocker and magiclocker for custom lockscreens.

Since I switched to Go Launcher from TW, it has put android system very high in the battery stats(before it was only at 6% and now over 35%). It seems to be using up more resources. It also drains the battery faster while using the phone but doesn't change the battery drain while not in use.

Yup. I like the idea behind it, but I didn't like using it.
i use dxhome, there is a thread about it in themes and apps section
i tried adw but the app drawer scrolling was too slow
launcher pro and go launcher worked for a while but when i found dxhome and qqlauncher it made launcher pro and twlauncher seem laggy as sh*t. i also wasted my money on spb shell 3d i never could bring myself to use it for more than a day.
i got widgetlocker and regret nothing it is amazing. on faux 010 its so smooth it looks like the real thing.

I've been using many different once, everytime flashing the custom ROM's, but after an hour I go back to the best one I've ever used the 360 Launcher V2, it's free and fast.
I use it with Android 4 theme, works great looks great, has good widgets.
How ever yesterday I came across a good new launcher, Claystone launcher, if you post on FB it let's you download a Transparent theme which is pretty nice, and if you get use to working the new launcher it's actually not bad.
Zeam and launcherpro have always been the fastest and cleanest for me. I prefer launcherpro because I can make the homescreen grids 10x10 so I have more adjustability with my widgets.
I've tried some cRom but no one gives smooth screen scrolling experience as good as miui, even with different launchers like GO launcher it's still not smooth
Any suggestion on custom roms that give quick response in screen scrolling?

I'll link this ROM along with GLX R ROM in the FAQs, so we'll have 4 ROMs which are currently working for our R and three in the making.

The only part of lpp or adw that is snappy is application drawer. if you add some widgets, icons you'll notice lag during scrolling between screens.
With the exception of TW launcher , xperia home has imo the smoothest screen scroll. If it only was more customizable...like ADW it would be perfect.

hmmm...I never saw smother performance than with 360. Don't know maybe some transitions effect seems worse, I use cube effect and it's smooth as SGS2.
Maybe I didn't write right...It's not laggy but transition-effects are slightly too slow
Hey nedooo.. 360 is quite a powerful launcher with a lot of dev support. And, so far its great..
1stly it has great set of themes (homescreen and lockscreen) reminiscent of miui.
2ndly some inuitive customizations on the launcher.. like screen lock and default apps settings.
There is a widget called 360 safe..?? its completely in chinese. is there an english version of the same? looks like it can do lot of things like miui backup.

I'm trying to combine a smooth ics lockscreen wile using launcher 7 The only working one I've found has been the one from go locker but it requires me to also install go launcher and would have running 2 launchers + the stock 1 that would mean a lot pointless ram usage
I found this

At first it seemed perfect but it has a lot of bugs like pone wakes up randomly ads on notification and that BS.

I wanted to but I'm not willing to pay for something I can't even try first tried getting it cracked but no luck. and the mi locker one is prety damn ****y not to mention home button bypasses the lock and the lock screen isnt as fluid as it should be.
Guess I'll just have to wait for an update from the one I posted.
Widget locker is probly the best lockscreen replacement I've tried so far...
Pin it to Win it.
I used to do exactly what you're talking about, launcher7 and i used widget locker. Super customizable. I'm not running launcher7 anymore because i wanted a more ics feel but I'm still using widget locker.
