Soo as you all know by now I keep my tablet in some form of disarray trying to make it better.
This time i was reading on another forum and noticed that someone said they were having success with zeam again. Well i didn't i was still getting all the crazy FC's and what not. They didn't go away after removing it either.
Another wipe and reload of market ensued.
This time i decided to give Helix a Try. It's a lightwiegh launcher doesn't have alot of bells and whistles but i don't need all that from a launcher really i just need it to work and to SORT MY APP DRAWER!!!!!!! (sorry but the stock launcher on this tablet just IRKS me)
So Helix was nice and responsive but it still seemed like on startup that the default launcher was some how loading in the background. A closer look with Android System Info and sure enough there it was eating 25 mb of ram even though helix was set to default.
After asking in a couple of android IRC rooms i decided to use root explorer to remove the stock launcher all together. Using root explorer i mounted the /system/app folder and then with a long press on launcher.apk i was able to delete it. A whole mess of FC's followed and i thought ohhhhh great yet another wipe and reload but much to my suprise after i had powered the tablet down (pushing and holding the power button for 10sec then release)
I hit the power button to start it back up and now usually i can walk away from this tablet before it's got everything started and ready to use. not this time. It booted much faster than normal. So i put it to a stopwatch. 55 sec from powered off to wifi connected ready to use.
You mileage may vary. If you find any other launchers that are smaller or improve performance any more let me know.
