Re: Ultimate Launcher

Like many of us here at PPCGeeks, I've toyed with many of the programs covered in this site... from iPhone style themes and the like (the most recent being iPhone Freestyle).

I previously had Total Commander, one of the BEST Cube-style programs installed, but I thought it was even slow in responding... with a delay of about two to three seconds before it came into view... despite its small footprint.

Two days ago installed the retail/registered version of UL v 1.2 to my Verizon Wireless VX6800 Mogul - much like many of you... after viewing MATT19's YouTube posting. I've got the PhoneAlarm Touch v2 clock running on the home screen of the device, as a static image... with UL displayed below. I first attempted to include it in the UL fields... and it DID load, much like MATT19's HTC Home clock did... but portions of it would get cut off from the bottom, and it would stat stationary - even though the other panels behind it would/could spin or rotate. So, I opted to keep it stationary - as a stand-alone, and simply make UL load below. As it is... it takes well over two minutes to load UL... despite the amount of frantic and annoyed thumb sweeps across the screen to activate and rotate the "cube" effect. I currently have about 12 icons in 5 hidden panels... none are Today Plug-ins, just shortcuts... so they aren't "running behind the scene". My Storage Memory is at 126MB and my Programs Memory is at: 16.86MB... so it's not as if it's bogged down. I'm finding the overall speed of this untweaked device is even slower than my previous VX6700...!

IS there a way to speed up the device - without over clocking it?

(I'd flash a new and updated ROM kitchen version of 6.1, but - I need to keep MMS and SMS ability - without any issues, as we use it constantly at work... sending the attending ER doc photos of the damage sustained to the interior of a car, for example, so he can better understand what kind of closed fracture and soft tissue injuries our patients have that we're sending him. You have no idea how vital a roll the images play in the care and treatment of the patients... until you can't send anything.)

Do you have ANY suggestions...?

Your kind attention is greatly appreciated!
