I have noticed going from iOS 5.0.1 stock(silky smooth) to iOS 5.0.1 jailbrokem springboard gets really laggy and choppy swiping between screens. is this normal? i don't have that many tweaks installed.

also, i cannot get the iOS 5 gestures to work. i have the option enabled and they just don't work :-/
 
No, its not normal. I have never noticed any performance issues on a phone jailbroken on 5.0.1, try doing a fresh restore.
 
It is likely to be one of the few tweaks you have installed. List them and we'll see if there is a problem. Remember not everything is 5.x ready.

thanks for the reply.

Cydia tweaks installed:

-SBSettings
-Browser Changer
-NoNewsIsGoodNews
-NoSpot
-WinterBoard
-a SMS theme
-the tweak that disables the "No New Notifications"
-Activator(came installed with Cydia)
-SafeMode
 
What are safemode and nonewsisgoodnews? Ive never heard of those. The rest are compatible with iOS5(assuming all are up to date and your sms theme is iOS5 compatible)

installs a shortcut to put into safemode and the other uninstalls the Newstand. and yes, all up to date and it was choppy before I uninstalled the SMS theme :-/

Agree with jmills87. Something ain't right and you don't have a lot on your phone at all. In this case, a restore and re-jailbreak is probably in order... It really shouldn't be choppy with that config.

Really? You uninstalled Springboard, a core component of the operating system, not just the jailbreak? How did you manage that?

Nah brother. I think I wrote the wrong words. What you do is open cydia. Go to the packages you uave installed and uninstall winterboard. That should take care of the choppy/laggy swiping.

yeah I uninstalled winterboard after the untethered JB just released. theming would be cool, but it's not worth t to sacrifice the performance and smoothness of iOS. until winterboard works well, I'll be theme less ;-)
