using Open Desire and i'm getting quite bad lag when I pinch the home screen to access other screens. It only seems to have happened since I started adding Launcher pro plus widgets.
Anyone else having issues with this?
Any advice?
The same here. Homescreen preview with low fps.

the same here!
the same issue on my desire running Leedroid 2.1
adding the plus widgets to homescreen makes launcherPro lag like crazy....
but i don't need those widgets that much, so i just remove them.
i really hope that the author of launcherPro can have more concern over the stability and speed of it, not just keep adding some heavy widgets...
I think in the release notes for the latest update he/she said that no new widgets would be added for a while, instead concentrating on what has been added already. I guess that is a good way to go. I assume speed and stability will improve if this is followed.
Maybe I'm just lucky. I'm having no lag at all. Leedroid 2.1
Only using the calendar widget.
I had the same, insane lag. Fixed it with setting vm heap size to 24M, rebooting and clearing dalvik cache + cache partition and setting heap to 32M again.
LPP lags when you add too many widgets. Yoiu can improve speed if you restart it but it doesn';t last long.
I'm using 3 LLP widgets (Friends, Messaging and Agenda) and widgets for time, battery and Doubletwist and its perfect. If i add anymore it slows right down.

Try adding a local.prop file ino /data containing a line that forcelocks the launcher into memory. It was echo.ro.something ADJ=1. Try googling, never had lp lag since

had same problem with too many widgets.fixed by doing these settings:
keep in memory - unchecked
memory usage preset - very low
use home screen cache - checked ( otherwise app drawer is too laggy)
Unfortunately nothing's working for me .. I don't want to remove widgets.
I have version 0.82 and the lag is horrible! But only the first time.
If I scroll through homescreens and then pinch - the lag is big - nothing happens for a while, and then previews apear. But when I click then on any of previews and pinch again it's smooth. I can pinch and choose any of homescreens and it stays smooth, but when i scroll to left or right and then pinch - the lag is back!
Same here no lag on leedroid
one more bug..
try dailng *123...
first time, it will erase "*"...
the second time, you are able..
I also had a terrible lag.
Do a clean wipe and reinstall your ROM from scratch.
Ok heres the problem: I set my background to a Live Wallpaper (For example Galaxy (Default L-WP)) and am running ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro with 3D AppDrawer enabled.
When i now open the AppDrawer and scroll up and down, its VERY LAGGY(Not fluid). It isnt the CPU, its set to 1,3ghz and it still lags.
PS: It's not only the 3D Drawer.. every drawer lags.
Would you test this aswell and report, also does anyone know how to fix this its very annoying?
I don't know if this issue is related to yours but I often find that MS2's screen has a delay of fractions of seconds. I am pretty sure it is not the speed of CPU which matters, as such lag is not found in DEFY. So I am thinking this (and probably yours) is the problem of the optimization of the software (well we all know Blur sucks).

This is what I think. Sometimes my 3D Appdrawer with ADW Launcher EX is not fluid even without running any 3D Live Wallpapers.
And some games lag as well when they should not CPU wise.
Does MS2 require some kind of lagfix like the Samsung i9000 to make it more responsive?
I dont know.. would be interesting to know
I found the most recent version of ADW Launcher EX to be a little laggy, the prior versions were perfectly smooth for me.
If I have a LWP running then scrolling is generally laggy and not fluid, I experienced the same effect with all prior versions of ADW Launcher EX and launcher pro. (LWP = laggy scrolling)
When I say "laggy", I mean, the response to my touch is fine, but the motion is laggy/jittery
Thanks for repeating what i have said....

Hi.
I noticed that my Fancy Widget and other clock-widgets doesnt update anymore when i open apps, documents or other services. Example:
Clock shows 19:21, Widgets shows 19:21. As long as my phone stays on one of the 5 homescreens, the time updates as usual. But when i open an app (browser, mail, gallery, or any other app) or game and return to my homescreen i can see the time didnt update since i opened the app or game. Lets say i open my browser 19:22, i visit some websites, and switch back to my homescreen 5 minutes later (19:27), the widget didnt update the time within these 5 minutes. When i stay on the homescreen and wait for next minute, the widget updates the time correct.
Whats wrong?
I dont have any task-killers installed. I have 2.3.3 rooted. I didnt remove any bloatware.
I take it you haven't moved the app to the SD either?
What app you mean? Widgets cant be moved to SD, because they wont work when placed on SD.
Are you using SE launcher or a 3rd party one? Try installing https://market.android.com/details?id=com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock&feature=search_result and see if its the same. I am using that clock/weather/battery widget with no problems.
I am using SE Launcher again. I used ADW Launcher EX, but got to many errors, so i went back to my stock SE Launcher.
Edit: I tried simiClock, it happens too. It doesnt matter what clock-widget i am using. It doesnt refresh/update when apps/games are running and i switch back to the homescreen.
Most clocks do not update if you have moved them to the SD card.
Make sure it is installed on the phone.
My stock weather widget never updates the location in the background, only when launching it manually will it update on the home screen.
@dsswoosh
As i posted just before....clocks/widgets dont work at all when moved to SD. I install all my widgets on the phone!!

You mean Go launcher ex? try launcher pro, i have tried Go launcher ex, Adw and launcher pro and cannot seem to replicate the problems you are describing, also not had any errors or force closes on any. Do the clock widgets that come with SE launcher do the same? or just 3rd party clock widgets you install? If the stock clocks dont work then maybe reinstalling the fw will fix it.
I tried ADW Launcher EX again (yes, its ADW EX ). Time updates in the background as it should. It seems that its only an SE-Launcher issue. Can someone try?
Maybe it is always like this and i never noticed this before while using the stock SE Launcher?! I think i can live with it, but maybe there is a way to fix it without using a different launcher?

Indeed your right its ADW Launcher EX ive always just called it adw. Well using the stock SE launcher my clock widgets update in the background so im guessing its a problem with your SE launcher. Possibly reinstalling the fw will fix the SE launchers bug? Worth a try i suppose.
I've been experiencing this on my Xperia Arc too. It has nothing to do with launchers or task killers in my case (I use neither). I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, I noticed a new clock widget wasn't updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the above widget types wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock shows the same problem.
So for me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. I would guess this must be happening to a few other people, as it's the same symptoms as the OP described.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
I found this fix on a another forum here:

This problem was driving me nuts so I tried it on my Epic and it's worked great so far. Give it a try if you're having similar issues with Launcherpro or other memory intensive launcher like ADW. You'll be glad you did!
Thanks for the tip!

Didn't seem to do anything for me. Though this issue was really apparent in ef02. Back on ec05, not so much. Anywho TE didn't give me any confirmation. So I don't even know if it worked.

When TE doesn't give you an error message after hitting enter, its usually a good thing I actually did not have the issues w/ redrawing of the homes screen on EF02, but the EXPERIMENTAL 3D App Drawer does give me an issues on GB, were it doesn't scroll properly, it kinda jumps from the top of the drawer to the bottom, not allowing one to select any apps in b/w. I was hoping for this to fix that issue, but it did not....thanks anyways!
There are some additional tips on this forum like setting memory usage and home screen caches to light. Also, disabling auto rotation helps a lot.
http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2652&hilit=Redraw
I attached a picture of my settings. I also have 3D drawer enabled, droid hack disabled, auto rotate off, memory usage preset and home screen cache type to light. I have five 6 column, 7 row homescreens loaded with widgets and shortcuts, and static wallpaper. I have easily 150+ apps on my phone. It used to redraw 50-70% of the time when exiting an app, now it's smooth as butter. It's totally changed my phone experience for the better.

On EC05 I actually didn't have any issues at all, but its on EF02 that Im having the 3D issues. I duplicated your settings but it seems to be an issue w/ GB cuz its still no good...thanks anyways, again lol
I'm confused about the memory usage settings and which settings are best. Wouldn't higher memory usage yield better results?

This seemed to work for GoLauncher as well, it is nice not to have to wait 5 seconds for the launcher to reload every time I browse the web with multiple tabs or play a game for a while.
I'm not sure if it is my imagination but I think my battery life has gotten worse.. I will give it some more time to make sure.
I had this problem and my phone constantly vibrating like something was Force Closing, on stock Launcher. Before I rooted I went to Samsung recovery, and cleared all caches 5 times. And everything was fine, even when I redownloaded LauncherPro using LauncherPro widgets like friend feeds, and calander. Youtube widget and sence analog clock.

Even Go sometimes has this issue. The problem is the memory management is killing the background cache. The only real fix I found was to not have as many constant apps running in the background.
thanks for the fixes.
People still use Launcher Pro?
Go Launcher EX surpasses it in every way and its free,Zeam launcher isnt bad eather but not as rich on featureas and themes.

Agreed, the primary reason I use it is for the app drawer folders, makes it much easier to organize/find apps.
The only problem with Go Launcher (other than the previous reloading issue) is with the car dock, it restarts every time it is plugged/unplugged from the dock.
Agree with using Go Launcher EX as well. I jumped from LauncherPro too and never looked back. The devs of Go Launcher EX are constantly updating it and squeezing out the bugs.

I never tried those memory settings. I am definitely trying those settings and seeing if it makes it any faster
Hi, I recently installed RandomROM 2.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190337) and so far I like most of what it has except that pretty much all launchers have a lag when I switch to the them. I have tried the default Launcher Pro that it comes with, ADW, Go Launcher, Zeam, but they all seem to lag whenever I switch to the home screen. I have also tried messing with Launcher Pro's memory settings without any luck.
The following video shows the lag that I am experiencing. I am currently sticking to Go Launcher since I prefer it and since they all exhibit the same behavior.

Bump.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is very annoying.
Try the v6 super charger ( option 6 or 9)

@SwimDrewid Thanks, I went ahead with Agressive profile and that seems to have fixed the issue.
@Zeinzu I am guessing that is exactly what V6 supercharger did. Thanks!
