Hey guys!
I've got a problem with my launcher (GO Launcher EX)...when I use another app, which needs more free RAM, it freezes for about 3 seconds and I have to wait for about 10 seconds when my all apps are shown in App Drawer...
Where's the problem? (sry for my english)

What ROM?
What ROM are you using? There's a setting in Cyanogen Mod that forces the launcher to stay. You can also use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940 , which is a mod that changes the way the RAM works for performance and to keep the home launcher application running.
I'm running on Mur4ik's RC1 ROM....I'm checking this option right now, I gonna try if it helps
I read about V6 script, but I don't want it. Instead of it I'm using Autokiller Memory Optimizer, which I think is same as V6 script
Yes, it's the same. CyanMod 7 has an option to lock home in memory under "Performance". Also, GO Launcher may also have such a feature. I don't know, I use LauncherPro. Good luck

Now I'm using LauncherPro, too and it works! many thanks for both of you

I happened to like sammy TW but I was wondering if I install LauncherPro, would it affect the performance in general? I know that they do not run at the same time but would it have any negative effect to have multiple launchers at a time?
extra launchers run in the background, but there shouldn't be any negative effects

you can force close tw if u think it's running. Just go to manage applications and select it from the list.
From my understanding though, when you install launcher pro and assign the home button to always use it, tw doesn't run in the background or even start with the phone.

Not only does twlauncher always run, it runs as a foreground app 100% of the time.

Yep, I'm trying systempanel lite from the market as a way to monitor processes & it always shows TW running & you can't keep it off unlike senseUI.

there is a way to do it, you have to put the Launcher of ur choosing into the system/app folder and if u change the tw30launcher.apk file name to tw30launcher.old(this way u dont have to delete it and u can just change it back to .apk when u want to start using it again) it will not let tw run in the background cuz it wont be able to read the file. When u first change the file name tw will fc like crazy all u have to do is restart ur phone and it will just boot into the other launcher by default. I'm doing this with LauncherPro and LP seems to run faster being in the system folder than in the data folder anyway =D. this all can be done with Rootexplorer
I suggest you try that before reccomending it.
already done it, it was done already some time back I can't remember if the thread is in dev.or themes but it would be one of the earlier post. I said it causes fcs at first until restart so I did give warning on that but it works with no problems and I'm not the first to do this
edit: it is in development and the thread is called "Replace stock launcher"

This was my thread actually, and your statement is correct. You will fc until reboot, then all will be well. The running launcher integrates, and moving it results in bedlam for a second.
Just make sure you have the replacement launcher in the system/app directory before you move touchwiz out.
This is an old trick, just a new phone.

What happens when you move LauncherPro to system/app and then try to update it from the market when a new version comes out?

The work around is to pull down the update and pop it into the system/app directory.

I've played with a few different launchers for my Epic (currently running CleanGB ROM), and keep running into the same issue. I've used Touchwiz, LauncherPro, ADW Launcher Ex, and Zeam. I have the same problem on all of them -- frequently when I hit the Home key, it takes me to a blank screen and I have to wait a bit for all my icons to reappear. I'm using LauncherPro now and it happens infrequently but still enough to be aggravating.
I'm guessing this means the launcher is either out of memory, or has crashed silently and need to restart? I've used the "keep in memory" setting but that doesn't seem to help. Happens most often if I've been using Navigation.
I want 7 screens with 4x4 icons and 5 buttons in the dock, that's it. Don't need anything fancy, just a lot of screens and icons.
Any recommendations, either for alternate launchers to try or a fix?
Do you have a lot of apps moved to your sd card? If so you may need to reformat it. Back it up, format, restore.

Supercharger script will keep your home in memory. I reccomend googling supercharger script and download and install that, your phone will thank you.

Probably not my issue... I just put CleanGB on my phone last week, and when I did so I reformatted both the SD card and on-phone data storage. That said, yes I do have a lot of apps on SD.

Oh well, it was worth a shot. I have been using Zeam and it is real fast on my phone. Have you tried clearing memory after using navigation with Memory Booster Lite or even the stock task manager?
Think that would be nice to we all share twik that we apply to new instaled rom. After flashing rom i remove boot animation, set swapines to 25, ring delay to 2sec, set vm heap size to 25. Install old market, remove live wallpaper, galery, tts, voice search, etc with tb, an clean startup app with autostarts app.
What you do after rom flash?

the apps with titanium backup and bootanimation with root explorer.
but you can delete system apps with root explorer too:
/system/app/nameoftheapp.apk
and sometimes
/system/app/nameoftheapp.odex
too
bootanimation is in /system/media
(not 100% sure)
Thanks.Where can i find old market ? Are you using any theme on theme chooser and what theme are you using on launcherpro ?
Old market http://db.tt/vP1ME94F
Abouth thema, every thema will slow app, system down.

I just want simple icon pack,i found illest icon pack for launcherpro
I don't use any theme chooser themes or launcher themes because it slows system down. I don't use any locker replacements or SMS apps because of the same reason

Can you wrote how did you get 100mega free? I get ~80 with smart keyboard, android weather and sms app runing in background.

you see i dont have any of that running at all i use stock keyboard and sms app. i removed weather and other stuff (its intended for a backup phone no frills) still thinking of other ways so speed up a already fast mod... i removed theme chooser too so do u think i should odex?
Not shure, i experiment before with odex deodex rom and not notice any speed or performance gain.

it should gain ~ 5 mb ram and a faster boot -> i would definitely try it
hmm faster boot ??? if yes then il do it!! cus the turn off time is very fast! click the off option in the menu and it off in less then 5 sec maybe 3 ?

Hi Guys,
Just joined so this is my fist post, just watched the noob video before joining so please be gentle, my post maybe repeated, so here goes.....
So I followed this path in getting my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 on Jelly Been:-
1. Updated to the latest firmware XXJW4
2. Installed the custom rom from the following link [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820578]
First off, hats off to the developer, this is a very good rom, it's fast, responsive and very easy to use. The rom is built with the function to update it with OTA which is a huge plus. The developers last update of the rom [v1.4.0] is even better, however in the latest update he removed the trebuchet launcher .
The reason why I prefer trebuchet launcher is because unlike the touchwiz launcher when you reboot the phone, apps that are stored on the SD Card, their icon do not revert to the andriod icon (something that keeps happening when I have touchwiz launcher as my main launcher). Also apps that are on the home screen, that are stored on the SD card, appear on home screen after a reboot if you use the trebuchet launcher but not with the touchwiz launcher.
Now the workaround I implemented when using touchwiz launcher (only launcher the developer provided) are:-
1. Once the device is up after a reboot, connect the device to a computer, Turn on USB Storage, then Turn off USB Storage.. This causes the phone to re-scan the SD card of Apps, Music etc... But this option isn't very practical
2. Install the app Appkik [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.diune.appkik2&hl=en], and kill TouchWiz Home process, this will cause the launcher to reload again and then display the apps icon correctly.. Now this option is quicker, but could cause the launcher to become unstable, saying that, since implementing this option, the launcher has crashed 5 times today..
So The question is:-
1. Is there an alternative way of fixing the issues with regards to displaying apps icon correctly when using touchwiz launcher? e.g an app that can restart the touchwiz launcher safely
Thanks

P.S Please guys don't offer the solution - move the app to the internal storage. As you guys know the internal storage isn't very big and I want to avoid storing apps in the internal storage as much a possible. Also I know that I can probably install a different launcher, but I wanted to keep the rom I installed as close to as possible to the developers release.
If it is cm10 based, it probably has the hold back button to kill app. Kill launcher with that and it will restart it. Also for media scan I think you can use dev tools to re scan.

That hasn't been implemented in Jellybean yet (to my knowledge) due to some issues. I hope it gets added soon though, there are a lot of times when an app starts making noise/using data that I want it immediately killed.
1. I set thumb keyboard as default keyboard but after restarting nook color the keyboard defaults to stock one. I tried swiftkey but having same problem. Please help, it is very annoying it select the keyboard everytime I reboot the device.
2. Another prob is I cannot get some widgets working.They install correctly but do not show up in the add widget menu. Btw, I currently use nemus launcher.
Few widgets that don't work are sense analog by factory widgets, minimalist text widget, and a few other battery level indicatiing widgets.
Is it only me or anyone else having the problem?
I am running cm 7.2 from sd.
No rep
At least someone tell me if minimalist text widget or sense analog is working on cm 7.2 or not?
So that i can consider reinstalling the rom or try another rom.

First thing I would try is using a different launcher... see if that is your issue... I'm sure not many use the launcher you are, so it is hard for us to provide feedback/information.

I personally don't use any of those widgets... but I know others use minimilistic text without issue... you might want to fix permissions before you resort to a clean install.
Thanks I will try it

You probably have those Widgets installed to SD. Widgets do not work if installed to SD. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, and choose the app and see if on SD. If it is, choose move to phone.
You might see if those keyboards are also on SD.

I suggest you install CM10 Beta. It is far superior to 7.2 now. I'm using SwiftKey and can report excellent performance. My signature shows my Nook's configuration.

Thanks leapinlar it worked after moving it to phone.
Do I have to do this every time? Or is there any way to make apps to install on phone by default.
