920 is way faster with the old Tile scaling size.

So I was bored and changed everything to the wp8 style, really noticed that the device is faster.

I like the speed so far, I hope this impacts battery in some way or another.

You mean with two columns instead of three?

 

[hs k]

he means that, even on my 720, going from 3 to two, the phone has become fast in rendering the start screen

 

[taymur]

Yup. Two instead of three. I really missed my phone at this speed.

Uhhh... time to start playing with my start screen....

 

[btbam91]

It's so much sharper!

Lol. It will feel really weird. Like those tiles kinda look idiotic now hahahaha. But I think I can get used to it.

Yep, can't wait for a higher res screen!

 

[btbam91]

I don't know if it is just me, but my whole phone seems faster!

No matter how fast it'll be, I won't get back lol.

I'm feeling that too, but I think its a placebo. But I even feel apps are faster.

I just did it, but my 920's screen looks stupid. I dont know why, but i feel like my phone is a dumb phone when i did it. I WILL NEVER GO BACK FROM 8.1!

Agreed. Mine really isn't that bad anyways. they can have my extra tiles when they pry them from my cold, dead phone.

 

[EauRouge]

can anyone post up a side by side screenshot comparison?

 

[loofmodnar]

Interesting. I turned on 3 columns briefly but decided the small tile were too small and since they're about 3/4ths of the tiles on my screen, I pretty quickly went back to 2.

 

[btbam91]

Keeping with the big tiles. Seriously, my entire phone (including apps) seem snappier. Even if its a placebo effect... I'll take it!

Seriously? I never noticed any slowdown from doing 3 columns on my 920

Actually scrolling up and down is way smoother with 2 row of tiles instead of 3. Realized that on my 920 a little while back. I kept switching back and forth to be sure but i thought it was a placebo effect. But it's really butter smooth with 2 row of tiles while you can feel the tiny stutters with 3 rows. It's not laggy per say, but you can feel it.

Thought the old layout was weird at first but the tiles look sharper that way. With 3 rows, the tiles are too small and are a little blurry. The background image looks nicer too with 2 rows. It really feels like a "window". Keeping the old layout as well, until i buy a newer wp.

After a reset I don't get any lag while scrolling the 3 columns.

I don't get a lag so to speak, but the tile redrawing issue was becoming ridiculous and i was tired of hard resetting
