I have been using launcher pro app for a while since i got my atrix. But i feel like ever since we got the update its been having an error, and it always comes up with force close/wait and report app.
And it causes freezing on my phone i was wondering if anyone else has been having this problem.
im using LP for 3 weeks now and no problems here.
works like a charm.
hmm thats interesting, maybe i should remove and reinstall. Cos it happens like 15 times a day, like after you unlock the phone or try opening the home button. you can back up your setup right?
I also used it for quite a bit with no issues. I installed it after the update, though. Maybe a reinstall would help.

Same for me, no issues
Been using LP since the day after launch without these issues.
ad and launcher pro gave me crashes and lag.
Go Launcer EX has been extremely stable for me. And I believe less 'catchy' of how it works, i.e., small glitches that are annoying/difficult to work past.

Many people have offered using Launcher Pro instead of TW for a fix to the lag issues. Personally, I experience terrible lag when using Launcher Pro and only moderate lag when running TW. I have tried this under a variety of different wiget, homescreen, and application configurations.
Any perceivable reason for this? I would prefer to use Launcher Pro...but the lag is so bad that I have to give up. TIA
That's really odd man. I can attest that my phone flies with LP (and TW is rarely feels laggy to me).
I'm starting to wonder if a lot if people talking about lag just have an app(s) that are ready poorly done and the cause of issues. I think it's easier to blame an app than assume an issue with the phone you know?
Random, but how many apps do you have you think installed? Any that you question? Using a task killer?
i can also say that LP has made my phone virtually lag free. I was hesitant to try it out but glad i did!
I havent experienced any lag yet since I got this phone on launch... Maybe I keep my system clean too much coming from a n1 with hardly any App storage space.
I dont see most bugs people post... Im either lucky or less picky.. Maybe both.
Been using LP since the first day I got my Vibrant. There's no lag whatsoever on my phone.
Factory reset.

Yeah, I would try resetting your phone. As others have said.... no lag here.
Or do the method that moves your apps to make the phone faster. Look for the thread on vibrant lag or vibrant stutter.
Sent from my Vibrant
I have reset the phone, downloaded roughly 75 apps, no task manager.
This thing still struggles when running LP, but it is better on TW. I'm baffled.
try ADW Launcher?
there are settings in LP that will make the icons appear faster or slower. I have mine set at a 4 because I like to watch them fly onto the screen. try setting yours to 10 it should eliminate the animation and potentially your lag.
I havent had any issues with LP. I didnt really have any with TW either but now that I'm running LP the phone has a little more snap.
After resetting and reinstalling, you say issue is still present. Like my earlier post, I'm calling acrappy deigned app.
I run adw and experience no lag from what I can tell.
Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
I think it was an app issue. Bought a task kilter from the market and kill everything but my eidos when the screen turns off and the issue has stooped.

Be careful with stuff that you're installing. With that many apps, you're bound to find a couple that either A) didn't get installed properly or B) are poorly designed and cause problems.
You shouldn't need a task killer as your phone is designed to multitask and take care of things you aren't using, but glad you got it figured out!
I find it concerning that I need a task killer to get it to run smoothly. From what I can tell all my apps are are legit. How would one go about troubleshooting a potentially harmful app?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
for me TW and ADW were very laggy and LP was super fast with option to keep it in memory, that was before RESET. After reset, I havent tried others, but I dont even need to keep in memory, its still very fast. I am using Autokiller as a task manager....
Some users experienced lag issues on launcher pro and the support forums at the official site suggested not using live wallpapers. So if you are using one disable it and see if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. Not using a live wallpaper. I also don't keep LP "in memory". Should I?
Ok, so stock Vibrant "lag". What does this mean, precisely? I'm a rooted but otherwise stock JI6, and I don't see any lag anywhere on the phone.
If I were to be experiencing this lag, what would it look like?

Get Xscope V5 (V6 is buggy) browser for free x-labs.net and use it for a day or two. Notice how slow it loads webpages sometimes. Or try Miui Browser (not in market) GUI lags a little too
The LAG that most people are talking about is when you switch windows or open a new app. Sometimes when doing this, the phone will seem to freeze for a moment before going to the new app or page.
With Voodoo lagfix, I have not seen this happen once, where with stock it happened all the time.
If you have rooted your phone and gone down the mod rabbit hole, lagfix is well worth it.
I installed a LagFix recently like I did months ago and saw no huge change in performance (barely any change really) This "lag" problem is about as overblown as it could be. Firefox runs as smoothly as it can (it's not that smooth, beta and needs 40MB of ram on my phone. JFD firmware was did have some lag issues though that we're a problem. Some serious lag was solved by a factory reset or by reloading the OS. The lagfix isn't worth the reduced app space or lesser reliability. If you have no problems with how your phone is running, don't bother with any hacks like that.
Some people randomly got major lag when updating from JFD to JI6. A data wipe solves it.. and they couldn't be happier.
The 'lag' that you see people complaining about does not happen on all phones, all the time.
And I need to remind you to be careful about installing any lagfix. Read up on what it does and how it may affect your phone BEFORE installing it.

Agreed, you might think the phone is fast now but when you install the lag fix you'll definately notice a difference.
It amazed me when I had to go back to stock (after soft bricking my phone) and I had to install rom manager from the market while everything was stock and it was crazy how slow it was.

Gonma take our two vibrants to tmo and use my camcorder to rexord us using different phones after fresh reboots soon to shut up idiots like u.
The lag issue is far from overblown.

Am interested in seeing said video.
Here is a video I took a while back. I'd be interested in seeing the lag. I know someone with a DROID X, behavior is exactly the same when opening apps. It was the same when I installed the lag fix.

I'm on stock JI6, non-rooted.
I think what I'm experiencing is considered lag.
It doesn't happen all the time but it is annoying when it does.
Sometimes it'll take 10 seconds for an app to launch.
It's especially bad if I have more than a couple of apps going at the same time.
Some of this can be worked around, keeping as few apps going as possible. I don't use a task killer, I just back out of apps instead of switching home and keeping the app in memory.
There are certain apps where it seems to be worse in.
The Facebook app is horrible to the point where I don't use it but I'm not sure if that's the app or the phone. I can't scroll a page without the phone locking up for 3-4 seconds. Clicking on anything takes about 3-5 seconds for it to register.
I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung in general with their software. The hardware is great, the software just sucks.
One of these days I'll get around to installing another ROM.

You obviously have something else going on here.. Facebook runs with no problems on my phone. If you flash another rom everything will be wiped, just the same as what I said above. The FB app taking 10 seconds to load and locking up the phone is NOT normal behavior.

I think you're right. It doesn't make sense that facebook would be so bad.
Everything else is pretty much okay.
I think I'm going to try one of the other ROMs. Just need to find some time.
Also, I'm dreading having to go through the whole process of reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. I might have to try titanium backup so that I don't have to do that.
I see many threads mentioning that they have a delay when rotating (fixed by calibration) but I do not have that issue.
My phone rotates quickly but it seems to take up to 15 seconds to refresh the icons on the screen in the new view.
Is this something unique to my device or is anyone else having issues? This began with DK28 and continued with EB13. Stock for both as well as with a ROM on DK28.
It may be app related, but with everything on my phone, it'll take more time to troubleshoot one by one than I have right now. That'll have to wait a few days, so until then, I'm just seeking general information/commiseration.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Me.
I loaded eb13 from samsungs site, which of course wiped my phone, and I have the exact same issue. Very frustrating.

Anyone else run this app.? It seems so great at first and I really want to like it, but it seems like everytime I go back to my homescreen I'm missing widgets. Its been a problem from earlier version which is why I stopped using it. I really want this to work because it has some excellent features. Anyone else have any of these issues? I'm asking herr because I want to see if its epic related because I don't see anyone else complaining about it.

the only issues i had with it was that two of my homescreens would always be missing so i went back to launcher pro.

I ditched Launcher Pro for it a month ago or so and have been very pleased (running stock EC05, rooted). No problems like what you're describing at all.

Yeah - an update just hit that is causing this old bug to pop up again. Only happening on one of my screens though. Just so happens to be the one with the XDA and PPCGeeks apps on it!
Love the new TV animation for the App Drawer, and the cylinder icon animation is bad ass.
Try going into Prefrences -> Advanced -> Clear Rubbish Data.
They implemented that when that problem started arising.
ill try again..
Yeah I've used ADW and LP for about two months each. Switched to Go Launcher about 3 months ago and haven't looked back. Never had any problems with it at all.

I use Go Launcher Ex and have had no problems with anything at all. The only issue I had ever had with widgets was with Elixir but that was an Elixir problem, not a Go Launcher problem.
I had major problems w/ GO Launcher
GO Launcher used to be useless on my phone (I'm running stock) in the sense that I couldn't customize anything. I really wanted to see how it felt fully functional so I factory reset my phone and now it works flawlessly.

With recent updates, GoLauncher's customizations are pretty awesome. The TV off animiation, Being able to use one theme with the icons from another etc... Love this launcher.
First and most importantly thank you jackpot and all the other devs working on the ICS rom for the kindle fire. I'm having some issues though. Is anyone else experiencing a lot of lag when opening the app drawer? Or anywhere else? I've flashed plenty of phones but this is my first tablet

I recommend to install an application from market to monitor your system resources such as Android System Info application. Kill unwanted applications and how your system performs

Just flashed today, and I'm not experiencing much lag when opening the app drawer. I have to press things a couple times before the touch registers, but that seems pretty normal with the KF.
I did perform a full wipe before installing the latest ICS rom.
It is performing perfect for me with 0 lag and grey touch response. I only notice the touch in gaming really not sway to day things. Might want to try reflashing it cause mine runs smooth as silk. Using 1/19 release forgot to mention

Yeah I would reflash mine runs fine I had one minor SOD issue the first morning I flashed it and never looked back . I have ran this since it was released with sound for the past two days with the only issue is battery last a little less time and it could be a little faster but its just alpha build its why its in the development forum. Jackpot will have this thing screaming when its released stable let's just flash it and report issue
