help roGridScreen fast open

and to have it load faster This is what I use to get content

Function InitShowFeedConnection(category As String) As Object

    conn = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
	
    conn.UrlPrefix   = Url()
    conn.UrlShowFeed = conn.UrlPrefix + "/movies.php?cat="+spaceEscape(category)

    conn.Timer = CreateObject("roTimespan")

    conn.LoadShowFeed    = load_show_feed
    conn.ParseShowFeed   = parse_show_feed
    conn.InitFeedItem    = init_show_feed_item

    print "created feed connection for " + conn.UrlShowFeed
    return conn

End Function

It's not entirely clear what you're asking. The GridScreen will open as soon as you call screen.show(). In your code, you're not calling screen.show() until after you've loaded the data. If you call screen.show() immediately after calling screen.setListNames(categoryList), it might do what you asking, but the speed of the show will still be dependent on how long your getCategoryListMovies() takes.

how to make speed the getCategoryListMovies() is fast

You'll probably need to address that on the server side. Building the list itself shouldn't be that bad on the Roku, so my guess is that it's the request to the server that's taking the longest time.

I have on the server side a pager but not as part of roku do I have no idea
