Laggy TouchFLO and keyboard

---

Ok i love my hero, but im starting to get a bit fed up of the laggy touchflo, and whats annoying is it completely random? one minute i can flick through the homescreens fine nice and fast next minute its lagging like crazy and skipping screens?

Also im finding that sometimes some buttons or keyboard fucntions will lag like mad, and i think i just didnt touch it properly and end up typing a load of rubbish or going back and forward thru the same menu lol,

Ive tried taskiller and the other task manager apps and make sure i have nothing running that doesent need to be but i still get random lag, and it always shows up when im trying to show how nice the phone is to people, its like its trying to show me up!!

mine was the same, removed the twitter widget helped a bit, but i switched of touchflo and just use the default android home screen, very smooth now.

I suspect this is application-specific

For example, if you go to Facebook Mobile and try to input into a text box (not to be confused with a text FIELD), you'd notice that the keyboard seems laggy as heck. Now open AK Notepad and try to enter a line of text into a new note -- notice the performance difference between browser and AK Notepad? The latter is MUCH faster, no idea why.

Turning off Sense UI seems to defeat the purpose of getting this phone. I have to admit that the widgets do work well for me, especially Mail and Messages, otherwise, I might as well go back to using my HTC Magic or my G1

Yeah. lol!
i sold my 288MB Ram HTC Magic to get the actual Hero device. im getting it today and i will see about performance. However i hope its not that bad cuz if it is then ill just go back to my Magic and install Hero as it will run about the same and or even better since developers seem to do much optimization to files.

How do you remove these widgets completely?

I don't think he means deleting the Twitter app, just removing the widget from the Home screens. To do that, tap and hold on the widget until it vibrates a bit, then drag it down to the bottom of the screen onto the big red Remove button

Ok, so i've actualy done this with previous android devices such as the G1 and HTC Magic, so i believe it should be the same here...

adb shell rm r- /path to whatever you want to remove..

Example:

adb shell rm -r /system/app/Camera.apk
adb shell rm -r /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
