im sorry is someone already posted this just couldnt find it

Don't run virus protection or live wallpaper...download launcher pro...you wil speed up significantly

its all about settings for battery life, and sometimes the phone needs a reboot

Slow? This thing is speedy.

Don't see much difference between launcher pro and sense UI

Tell your friend to join the forum and ask the question himself. That way we could ask him other questions that might reveal the cause.

Froyo made mine faster and the battery life is arguably better (possible placebo).

"Slow" is subjective.

ok well he says it laggs and my batter life on mine sucks and what the difference with launcher pro

 

[novox77]

launcher pro has smoother animations, for sure. But it doesn't "speed up" anything. Sense is still running in the background, so it doesn't help out the CPU at all simply because you're running a launcher app on top of sense's launcher.

oh alright

2.1 is where it's at!

And also consider controlling animations by using Spare Parts, free in the Market.
