    So I am updating my thread (tips and tricks sticky) and crucial_xtreme said if you want the highlight to follow your finger when you move it around on the home screen, hide some apps. So I hid a bunch of apps and rearranged things so I didn't have more buttons on my screen than there was space (i.e. so I wouldnt have to scroll up/down to see the rest)

    After I did that, the accelerometer sped up, opening/closing stuff sped up. It generally just sped up on a whole. Try it and tell me if its the same for you

    I thought it was just me, things are definitely faster since I did this, I have almost instant transition from portrait to landscape. I've been tilting the screen back and forth for about 5 minutes trying to make it lag.

    WOW... it actually seems like the lag is gone. I havent had a chance to really test it out, but its much better with less items on the home screen.

    after testing it out for a few more minutes... it's better in some cases, but not all. The home screen rotates much faster, the keyboard faster, but not as fast as the home screen.

    Virtually no difference in the calendar.

    I didn't notice a difference right away but I did a hard reset then a soft reset and now the accelerometer is noticeably faster

    Wow sooks I turn on memory cleaner and it makes mine none responsive on the accelerometer.
    NO NO NO dont turn it on it causes massive lag , but if you click the list down below the options of memory cleaner it will clean it with out keeping the program on.

    I did no such think, I got a tip from crucial_xtreme and appropriately gave him credit.

    And plus that person was just telling you HOW to make the highlight follow your finger, I am saying it speeds up the phone

    Holy frack it works. Sucks that we have to do this though... hopefully the update will address this.

    I created some folders and moved icons into those folders instead of hiding them.

    Does anyone know if it makes a diff if you have 12 or 16 icons on the portrait view? 12 means that you don't have to scroll on landscape either.
