Earlier today i accidentally bumped the screen while i was cleaning the back side of it. The car home screen had started up and was in landscape mode, however when i closed it my home screen using the default touchwiz (i think) was also in landscape.
when I tilted it upright it went back to portrait and back again to landscape after. No idea how it happened but once I restarted it was gone.
I realize I can do that with launcher pro or any other home screen replacement app, but I'm wondering if there's a way to always enable it with the default touchwiz?
No i don't think so :/

I've been experiencing slow home page icon when I'm in landscape mode (keyboard).
When I close the keyboard, it takes about 6 seconds before the icons show up. Before the icons you see the background only.
Don't know if it may be a program I installed or an app using the memory?

same here, any luck?
Still having the same issue. I check appls running in background but couldn't see anything out of norm. I can't believe no one else is having this issue.
Help!

i just use adw and make it system persistent meaning it will not rotate, for some reason the home screen was the absolute worst application to rotate and so i decided it shouldn't need to. try it out and see which bugs you more, slow rotation or no rotation
mine rotates to home screen completely fine and fast. The issue is when I am in landscape mode (with the keyboard) and I close the keyboard to go back to portrait, it rotates but the icons/widgets does not show until 5-10 seconds later. it shows the background only.
On Froyo whenever I use an app for a bit like the browser then retun to the home screen, it doesn't show any icons and appears frozen for a few seconds untill I shows them again about 5 seconds later. Is anyone else expierencing this issue?
Yes, happens to me sometimes too, kinda annoying.
I can get it to happen every time i send a text with the keyboard then while the text is sending, pressing the home button will yield a blank launcher for 3-4 seconds.
Its happened to me occasionaly. I just pressed the home button and they reappeared. Also, sometimes my Samsung widgets disappear and i have to readd them

Happens to me also. This also happens when you pull out the keyboard, it takes a few seconds for all the icons to show up on the landscaped screen.
Stuff like this makes me wonder if this isn't actually a finalized release of Froyo...
I agree. With all there bugs it makes.you a bit weary about whether or not this is official.
If it is, there better be an udate soon

Does the same for me. I don't have many of the problems everyone else is having, but I hope this isn't the official release.

Guys, did you flash froyo using clockwork? I just flashed froyo onto my sisters epic using the .tar and odin. Hers isn't having these beta issues my phone is having
I think this is due to the Epic 4g getting a Touchwiz update (3.0 now, I think) with the Froyo update. Originally, the new Touchwiz wasn't included because it didn't have a landscape mode. Now, it's got a slow landscape mode. I think it's the phone trying to recache the home screen or something.
Perhaps someone can figure out how to lock Touchwiz into portrait mode or something
I also have had the blank home screen... That and the horrible lag switching from portrait to landscape (when it switches) and the apparent lack of landscape unless the keyboard is extended or I'm in the "settings" menu are the only problems I've seen so far.
I use launcher pro... no home screen lag at all
Getting this same problem with Froyo, incredibly annoying. Any fix?
well, one of the fixes is to go with a different launcher, like launcher pro, as said in a post above
Can I remove the Touch Wiz Launcher and use launcher pro instead? Will anything stop functioning if I remove TWLauncher?
when I tried to add a picture frame widget I noticed that it was 2x2 instead of the normal 3x3 the YouTube widget also shrunk to 4x1 which just makes it look squished. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix them? Rebooting didn't help
I don't know if it'll help but sometimes a couple of my Widgets go smaller and all I have to do is rotate the tablet to portrait and then back to landscape again.

worked!
Wow thanks that actually worked. I always have mine locked in landscape mode so I wouldn't have thought of that.
I have 2 questions that despite a lot of searching has not yielded anything, and I just want to find out if I need to stop looking:
1. I like to open the camera app when double-tapping the home button. I can't find any setting in CM9 that would allow me the same thing - am I missing this?
2. Is there a setting somewhere that would change the screen rotation delay? I type texts horizontal screen and the wait for the screen to respond and rotate after I turned the phone sideways, is annoying. It would be much nicer if the screen rotated immediately when I rotate the phone, synchronously. I notice in the CM9 camera app, this rotation is much snappier, so it seems possible.
I can suggest this on your first question. I use Apex Launcher, and it's configurable right in behavior settings.

Thanks, I also found that item after I installed Apex last night. In other android OS's, this is a setting which is independent of the launcher.
So I liked it when the home screen didn't auto-rotate, now with the recent update it auto-rotates. Is there any way to revert back to where only the Home screen did not auto-rotate?
I’m not talking about the locking the rotate function as this locks it for everything not just the home screen, I want to restore the original function that only locked the home screen in portrait mode and auto-rotated to landscape when using any other apps such as the browser and what not.
Thanks!

An option would be to install a launcher like apex, which is nearly the same as stock but with a few tweaks. Then force portrait orientation in its settings. This is what I have done
Holo launcher or trebuchet are more similar to stock launcher and have the possibility to disable auto-rotation

Thanks guys. So I take it there is no way to revert the default launcher back to the way it was? What a bummer.
Nova launcher seems to be the only one that works on JB but its based on the ICS launcher and not JB. Not really a solution.

All of these launchers are optimized to run with JB, you can feel comfortable, if you want to return to the original home just go to settings-applications then open the launcher that you decided to use and press the button "delete default"
