When scrolling through my app launcher, a bunch of apps get highlighted. I have no idea why this is happening. Its been happening on ever nightly and rc for CM7. I apologize if this has been brought up already so please no flaming.

WTF, never seen it like that and I am CM7 vet since you say this been happening in every nightly are you mounting new build on top of old builds? or have you done total system wipe by formatting /system? In any case if you have and you still see it then this maybe related to some app you have installed. Did you modify/remove ADW? and install any other launders?
Is that even ADW? looks odd.
lol yeah thats adw. using the honeycomb theme that works with the theme chooser. ive also done several full wipes with fastboot erase system -w. never tried formatting system from cwm. No other launchers either.
im using the honeycomb theme as well.
Does your touch screen respond as normally as it should? You should only see the highlights on areas being touched, I believe.
yeah thats the thing. when i scroll down or up and i linger on an app for a second or 2, thats when a bunch of apps get highlighted instead of the one app im holding. It's not hurting anything, just looks real odd.
EDIT:
Did some testing and it seems the issue only shows up when im using the new icon selectors in adw ui settings.
Maybe try resetting adw setting? thats very odd, I wish I had a better answer for you but I've never seen anything like it.

I posted this in Cyanogen's main thread but it got pretty much overlooked. So I'm posting here
So I've been using Cyanogen builds for quite a while now and absolutely love them them. One problem I've had consistently with every build since the beginning is that window animations are pretty much non-existent. The transitions are fine though. Animations are enabled in settings and in spare parts, any setting i put it on other than very slow makes it seem like window animations are off. The very slow setting just makes it super choppy. I've searched and not found anybody else having this problem or at least not like me. I don't have apps2sd or swap going. Just the straight fat32. Tried it with the three partitions and same thing. Transitions are fine but window animations are crap. Other non Cyanogen builds work fine. If anybody can point me in the right direction or help me out that would be awesome. Fortunately the Cyan builds are so awesome that I can look past crappy window animations but it would be nice Thanks guys
anybody?
So no one has had or has even heard of this happening? Surely its something simple that can just be fixed through the terminal or something...
I remeber seeing ur post in his main thread. It works for me on normal speed. Have u tryed wiping and reflashing?

Oh yeah for sure. Countless times. I've used tons of different roms and wiped almost everytime I switch. I always end up coming back cyanogen though. The more I think about it though its not all window animations that are bad. Like when a menu pops up from the bottom or when the volume fades in and out. Its really only when I press and hold that whichever window it pulls up doesn't animate well. Such as pressing and holding the home screen.
Have u posted this on cyanogenmod.com under the issues tab, its worth a shot. If cyanogen can reproduce it he will most likely fix it.

You know what? On second though, I actually have no idea where the Android lockscreen is stored... Silly me. The HTC Lockscreen, however, is stored in /system/app/HtcLockscreen

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/
ok so this is kinda weird.....I have my messager icon on the bottom and occasionally it will open up a different app.....not sure if it's entirely related to launcher pro.....but I am running it along with Bonsai ROM 3.0....anyone experience this?
On on bonsai to.with launcher pro and never had this happen.before. maybe your phone is trying.to tell you something. Lol

Sure you aren't accidentally swiping it and your swipe gesture is set to another app?
^
I'll wager $947 on that one.
I've tried almost every launcher and have never seen (random) behavior like that.
While it is highly possible the problem is what was posted above, I have seen elsewhere that people were having their sms app open something else. It doesn't seem widespread though.
Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
You sure you don't have it set up as a different app, with the messenger icon as it's custom icon?
I had some funny behavior like this when I had restored /data after flashing a rom. Some apps were being launched with the wrong icons and a lot of contacts were linking to the wrong info. I wiped data, reflashed and then used Titanium to restore everything and the problem went away.
It's only happened once and I restore /data a lot, so maybe that was it, maybe it wasn't. I was quite glad to have the problem disappear.
I've had this happen to me before too a few times. For instance, I'll hit the browser icon, and it'll take me to messaging.
I cant offer an explanation though.
You'll lose that bet cause I had that issue too ... lol

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

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
