Very nice. That Storm is running just as smoothly as mine. Its funny though cause Kevin didn't get his for a few hours after it was put out.. and he said he was going crazy to get home and get it. lol

It's totally device specific. But this OS is definitely an improvement over .65.

Same here. Wondering why on Kevin's phone the highlight follows his finger on the home screen. I updated to .75 and mine still sticks on the first application your finger touches... Something funny is going on here.

you have to hide enough of your icons on your menu so that it cannot scroll, then you will be able to have the highlight follow your finger

yep hide or move applications until no scroll . . then it will follow your finger. Mine is that speed now on.65 . . . wonder if it will get better or I am maxed out.

Hey Guys,

There's a secret to that - you need to remove some of your icons so only 16 or less are showing when you enter the full homescreen.

Reason? If there's more than 16...than the device is taking your finger's input to scroll down to see more icons. If 16 or less or showing, then no scrolling is required so it the icons track with your finger movement.

Would be nice if it could track and scroll at the same time though. Maybe in a future OS update??
