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.

I have found the following:
Under Manage Applications if I select an application then return to the list it sticks on loading.
Every once in a while on Wifi the network will stop working until I restart the wifi.
LauncherPro will not find apps moved to SD (developer issue)
Stock launcher seems much slower and widget take longer to load.
Thats all so far....anyone else noticing any bugs?
Still no way of clearing downloads in the Browser without also deleting the actual download.
Still no .com key on the keyboard when there should be (Browser).
Neither of these were a problem in 2.1, I can't believe they cocked these up in 2.2 :-S
I reported them to Google here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9300#c0
The update killed Swype, told me it was for a different device.

No problem with the manage applications list.
No wiFi problems so far.
Launcher Pro finds all of my apps (I think...) RE-EDIT: LauncherPro finds apps put onto the SD after FRF85B was loaded - the apps I had on there before (just a couple) were dead anyway, as I'd crashed the SD card and reformated, and never put my backup in place.
I don't use stock launcher.
My battery does not last the promised 2 1/2 weeks though !

The manage application one doesnt do that for me.... So it must be on your end...
overall this seems smooth...
If Launcher pro dont find your apps, go to settings force close it and hit home, then itll reboot itself and find apps...

Bah, I was hoping they'd fix that!
I agree on the stock launcher being slow. I mean it's not sluggish, but you'd notice that in Eclair it was so much smoother. I can't believe this is the official build.

i hope you are kidding.
FroYo, that was supposed to be 2-5 times faster, has a sluggish Launcher compared to 2.1?
The funny thing is: the launcher was ALREADY sluggish on 2.1 so i'm wondering how bad it will be on froyo.
It's a bad joke, especially if you take a look ate the HTC Desire launcher which is scrolling PERFECTLY fluid.
I'm using launcherpro currently, but i can't believe how google can't get such a basic thing as fluid scrolling done...
The launcher is incredibly smooth and fast for me. Night and day difference from eclair. Love it.

I have this problem since day ONE, even with the "old" 2.1 firmware version.
When android is rebooted it has to check all your SD apps. Therefor Launcher Pro sees them as being uninstalled, give it a minute, then go to preferences and scroll to the bottom and press restart Launcher Pro.
launcher is smooth after a wipe cache and the other option in recovery
all of my setting and market application was downloaded and restored automatically

Really? I've used a few Desires here, and I think that they are all molasses compared to even the stock launcher with transitions maxed out.
LauncherPro smokes 'em all, though, even iPhone / iPad / etc.

So wiping the cache uninstalls all of the apps and wipes the settings? What about widget placement, ringtone and notification settings? Ate they ask restored too?
Launcher pro - I believe its a matter of how fast it loads and the fact that the SD card isn't fully mounted on the device
for downloads just go to manage applications/all tab and clear data to remove the list. unfortunately no way to remove specific items from the list.

This happens to me depending on the Wifi access point I use. At home, it works great, but at my in-laws', I have to restart constantly.

The rom hasn't made any difference with this issue, but for the sake of information, I'm currently running GalaxyTask 14 full with ADW ex launcher. I love this launcher, but every time I restore with titanium after changing roms, all of my widgets break. I have to delete all of them off the screen and then re-add them. Is there some type of fix for this issue?

Mmmm...It's always been like this for me both on my phone and tablet. I'd feel like an idiot if someone posted here saying that there is indeed a way to restore widgets properly because I've been using ADW for a loooong time. O.O
Ive never tried it since I like to re install everything clean, try using the backup and restore settings in ADW, backup ADW settings and backup desktop configuration, they get saved to the SD card though so make sure you have a copy on your puter or on your external SD
When you make a backup to adw settings you get a message which says "due to android limitations it is not possible to save Widgets" or something... so there is not a solution. Been using adw since 2.1, but never used it on the tab though...

And there goes my suggestion
just put this line at the bottom of build.prop file (under /system/)
Code:
#force launcher into memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
reboot -> profit
the redraw/lag basically caused by Android auto kill program to free memory, when memory is low android kills the idle tasks/apps.
This line basically just force your launch in memory, prevent the auto kill process accidently killed the launcher hence the launcher don't need to redraw/reload after you exit some memory hog apps.
enjoy this simple fix
If you experiencing anything you don't like after this fix/tweak, you can always delete this line and reboot to revert back the original state.
I just posted today about this issue. God it bugs me. I'm not rooted, so I can't do this. But I really don't think I SHOULD need to do this with 1 gig of ram! The funny thing is that this has ONLY happened on LB1, I didn't have this on ANY Of the other ROMs I've used. Strange.

maybe you consider rooting ? Zerg root don't increase count nor yellow triangle and easily undone.
roots really open up the possibility in Android but it's personal preference tho, so it's all up to you
Note has 1GB ram but only has 800 something after OS and stuffs and usually left 300-400MB free ram after cold boot.
if you have A LOT of apps installed and running in background. really doesn't surprise me left 1xx MB of free ram after few hours of use.
I didn't have any launcher redraw before ICS leak + nova launcher too but it does have now ,so needed the solution
I use GoLauncher and there is a setting that allows the launcher to stay in memory called "System Persistent". I believe ADWLauncher and LauncherPro also have a similar setting. It sounds like your tweak would not be necessary for these launchers.
After I edit this and reboot, the build.proc seems to be reverted to the original file. Does anyone know why it's doing that?
I have CF-root with AbyssNote 4.2 kernel if this matters.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to edit it in the beginning. I also double checked that it's been saved by reopening it. But somehow it gets reverted back when I reboot.
Wow!!!
This worked for me on both Adw and Go Launcher.
After adding the script, no more lag or redraw with the launchers.
Thanks.

have you other solution ?
Same problem here, fix didn't work sigh..I have posted in apex thread and emailed dev for advice. Any other help would be appreciated! (only happens with APEX and no other launcher)
I have been having serious lag in Apex when screen rotates..seems worse lately and it looks like im gonna have to find another launcher
I have just tried FTL Launcher, it is extremely fast !
I had the same slowdowns when I was using an app (like Gtalk for instance) and then used the home button to return to the desktop. I fiddled around and also "Keep in Memory" option of Apex and although it seemed to work, the problem came back.
In the end I decided to freeze the TwLaucher and I never had the problem again. Octavian90 tried this but so far didn't help
So no clue on what is buggin' Apex

worth considering as a replacement if only it was possible to use 7 icons in the dock (I know, I only have been using it since Apex, but I love it! It will be hard to go back to 5, just as it would be hard to go back to a phone with <5.3" screen )
Weird thing is, Apex launcher is keep itself in memory just ok, but widgets seems to be reloading and redrawing every time i exit from other full screen aps.
Is there a way to fix it?
After applying this..i got soft brick.. Can't boot. And someone said its because of Wrong permissions on the file.

I know this thread is old, but this might help others who, like me, have come to it late.
I had the same problem – rebooted and the line wasn’t there. Fix it by installing Build Prop Tweaker (I have Pro, but should be OK with Lite), get to the prop tweaks (icon, bottom right) and scroll to Launcher Tweak, open and click ‘Add’
Seeder and Optimus for Root are pretty useful apps for this issue.
Cheers to Darkinners

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 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

Video pretty much shows the problem. It doesn't seem noticeable but the delay is starting to bother me; especially when i'm multi tasking. I'm not rooted and using stock rom with Nova Launcher.
I deleted the many folders that were on my screen, tried all app animation speeds (from 'relaxed' to 'quick') and still get the same result. Weird thing is, this even happens when I tried the stock launcher.
never noticed it until now, or was it always there?

This happens sometimes in Kitkat when you have more than 1 launcher installed (Including the stock one). You need to uninstall the ones you don't use, maybe rooting and using Titanium Backup in case you want to uninstall the Stock Launcher (Make sure to make a recovery backup and a Stock Launcher backup in case you uninstall it).
Yes, i know, this should not happen, but it does... Btw if you disable or uninstall the stock launcher, you will lose the Guest Mode, since it's part of it.
I hope i helped, Durocks.
I can't seem to solve this issue myself. Tried several roms without luck.
