Hey guys my friend is actually having a problem with his vibrant. Mine works perfectly but his kind of stutters when you switch home screens and such. Its not lag but its kind of a lag spike.
Should he reset it?
anyone know what he should do ?
your friend can try to do a factory reset and see if that helps... if not tell him to try downloading an alternative launcher (ADW Launcher or LauncherPro) and see if it spikes on that launcher; if all fails, swap the phone with another one?

Has anyone been able to get these two to work togeather and be stable? I am having issues when you lock the screen then unlock later it will be black and have to reload the launcher. I have tried several different launcher versions and noth seems to work.
I tried that too
Haven't tried the Nexus launcher, but I had a very similar issue with the Sense launcher yesterday when I had set my process management settings too agressively.
Not sure if that would be related to your problem, but it might be worth taking a peek at.

Tried that. set it at default and would still reload.
I was on LauncherPro when I was running Darky Extreme Edition V9.5 and have a lot of problem with crash and hang. I thought it was the problem with Darky Extreme Edition V9.5. A few days ago I upgrade to Juwe's Smart Edition base on GB and install launcherpro and have the same problem. It crash and rebooted once, and I have message from Launcherpro everytime I reboot my SGS telling me that LauncherPro has crash and I have weird problem like widgets not starting.
I am on Darky Extreme Edition V10.1 and decided not to use LauncherPro and try out Go Launcher and so far i haven't have any hang or crash anymore.
Anyone having problem with LauncherPro crashing and hang? Might want to try out other launcher.
I´ve used all the roms that you mention plus a lot more, and never had a single problem with LP.
Same here. Latest LP hangs on my XWJVH. With TW I have no problems at all.
I have used LP forever but now it hangs.

First of all, are you using legal / free, market copy of launcher pro?
Did you try to clear data in LP?
Is this is the only launcher you have?
What widgets do you have on your screen?
For me it's just a corrupted data problem. Fresh install (with no data / no backup restore) should solve the problem.
Absolutely. Go Launcher EX includes all the features you're used to from LP and ADW plus a bit more. Also it's free and really smooth. I don't regret the swith to Go EX, although I paid for LP and ADW EX. The only thing that was missing is LPs Bookmarks Widget but I installed Colorize Widget instead.
LP has given me problems for months now. Fresh flash, fresh install, clear data and cache. I've had problems with the dev quite alot on multiple issues. Zeam and Go are what I switch between now. No problems, just miss lp's widgets.
I find it hard to believe, that we all have the same phones, same copy's of app, and yet not for all of us it works. Well, maybe not that hard to believe, but after fresh flash mentioned above? Srsly?

This just confirms that issues are not generated by hardware. And I don't believe that app don't work on fresh rom with clean install from market. I'm trying to imagine all the noobs that have no issues...

This is my first android phone. I didn't know there was a lag with efs until I switched to ext4. Example of noob naivity
I've had the same problems with LauncherPro, however in my case they were surely caused by some of my "optimization"-attempts.
This weekend I decided to play around with my system again (Tweaky ROM 4.1), thereby surely reverting some of the changes I have made before and voila! No more lags.
Unfortunately I no longer recall what exactly I have changed (mostly I did app-housekeeping), however the bottom line is that the the lag is gone without flashing a new ROM.
been using LP with darky's 10.1 for like 3 days and no probs so far....
will keep you guys posted if something comes up
Possible solution
Hi guys, I think I found the solution (for me). I had the same problem, after restard, force close and I had to wait for like a minute for Launcher Pro to respond. I have TitaniumBackup Pro so I used the "make system app" for the LauncherPro and uninstalled the included in the rom one. So it worked. You could give it a try, because for me clearing cache and other propositions didn't work
There is somewhere an fix for that. I could not find it anymore.

Hi,
is anyone els having lags opening the ICS apprawer?
is there any chance to resolve this "problem"?
ICS realy feals smooth, except starting the appdrawer...
Yup - It's the only lag I experience, nothing I've tried has an effect including forcing 2D acceleration, limiting background processes, changing animation and transition timings and not keeping activities.
For me it's a slight stutter rather than lag, the app draw itself would load much better if the launch animation was turned off. I believe it's related to a bottleneck in the systems memory bus.
Yep! I've experienced lag on the App Drawer with every ROM I've tried for my NS4G. I'm starting to wonder if the NS can handle ICS properly.
Agreed. Its one of those things that really puts me off and i would REALLY want a fix for this
I had really bad lag on my i9023 until I did a factory reset, after that it's a different phone. Know of quite a few others that found the same so may be worth a try (if you haven't already that is)
Not many responses to this thread, but I can honestly say that I do not experience any app drawer lag at all. i9020T 4.0.3 stock/rooted.
i got too... with stock and alternative launcher, really annoying thing.. had a fade to black effect even when i close an app...
and I know is off topic... but why my phone has rotation disbled??? all check are flagged!! why why and why!!!
edit 2: rotation issue solved just rebooting.. how noob!!!
I definitely get the stutter.
I even went as far as giving the launcher process higher priority but it made no difference.
Specifically I tried
renice -15 `pgrep com.android.launcher`
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm pretty sure it has to do with loading the widgets as they are connected to the apps in the new drawer. Cm9 has an option that disables the connection between the apps and widgets, solves 99% of the problem. Glad this thread was made as I was getting crucified by delusional members over this issue. Blind allegiance ftw I guess
Sent from my Full Android on Crespo using XDA App
Yes, CM9 launcher fixes the issue for me too as long as you tick to have widgets separated from main apps.

I did try factory reset, and after that ive done some testing, launcher still lag...no change...maybe at the begging i thought its better, but when you run for example browser than exit from it and press menu it lags again...
so i believe for people that have lag in launcher (like me) factory reset is not solution...
we will have to wait for community fix or google fix ...

I have the exact same issue. The closest I have gotten to getting rid of it is what I have now.
Peter Alfonso December 20 nightly with glad os 2.2 with lazy governor. Its almost completely gone.
And I completely wipe everything and restore manually EVERY TIME I install a new ROM .
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I also do experience a small lag when I launch it the first time, but that doesn't bother me too much, to be honest. I'm having more of a lag when I want to return to the app drawer from an application, it takes a two or three to close it.
Even using Go Launcher HD I have a couple moments where the ROM hangs after I hit the Home button. Anyone else get this? I'm tempted to just completely remove the TW launcher. Anyone done it? A list of safe to remove bloatware would be nice, but I haven't seen one yet. I tried uninstalling some of the VZW apps and it caused a boot loop. Scared me, but luckily I had enough time in between reboots to install an app at a time.
Anyone removed TW completely?

You should be able to use any launcher you want with no issues. I wouldn't just simply delete TwLauncher though.

Not easily to my knowledge. I mean, anything is possible, but the sad truth is that we have very little development for this device, so all the things you would like to do with it simply have not received attention.

Install HideBar to hide the quick launch bar.
SGT7.7 is supported.
my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

i tried to use less widgets... but doesn't really change much...
it is very random, but in my experience it appears more often when battery is low
do you feel the same?
i hope it can be fixed, i'm seriously thinking to sell it because of that (but who will buy it..?)

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...
as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

Did you go full stock no unlocked bootloader..? Not just run a stock rom.

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see
It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?
To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader
After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb
