The stutter/lag effect I see when I have my home page mostly filled with apps. Is this impossible to reduce? It's also the same with the app list, as I scroll through apps, the frame-rate seems like super low. So they stutter across my screen.
Any good fixes?
I had this happen a few times and had to do a fresh install to get rid of it.

I don't believe it is an instal issue, it seems to occur if the screen has a good bit of widgets and apps on it.
This happens to me when scrolling sometimes, like when on tapatalk. Kinda annoying but I'll live.

It could be the launcher you are using also. I was having the same problem until I switched to the ADW Launcher EX. Its wicked smooth and worth the price IMO.

The times I had it happen it was after a fresh install with no apps installed and no widgets on the home screens. Everything would be slow and stutter a lot, I tried multiple things to try to fix it but the only thing that worked was a fresh install.

Im on stock rom and I realized their is a lot of lag when going through the home screen. I only have a couple widgets and icons..does anyone else have this?
what launcher are you using? mines is smooth as butter using ADW EX.
Im using the stock launcher
Yeah I also started to notice it. Very heavy lag too. I switched back to Launcher Pro Plus and no problems yet.

I'm on the stock rom stock kernel stock launcher. My homescreen is good even with the. nexus live wallpaper. I've always found adw to lag. This is y I always return to stock.
i only get that problem when i have a live wallpaper on. that will slow down the screen big time. other then that im all gravy baby
The only lag I have is when I first boot my phone. If I try and move anything on my screen I get told that launcherpro has stopped responding... I click "wait" and 15 seconds later were gold. Annoying yes, deal breaker...no

I've been doing it a bit lately flashing new nightly's and showing off the CM7 3D boot animation to people lol. But yeah it's whatever I suppose
I Used to have the same issue, regardingless if I'm ussing ADW/LIVE-Wallpaper/GO Launcher or something like that. After reinstalling my device on Saturday it works smooth as a new car
On the boot the media scanner slows the phone to a crawl that last longer the more on your sd card you can improve the speed by deleting the folder android from the root of your sd card then reboot. Sometimes the gallery thumbnails get corrupt

I get it sometimes. The best temporary fixes are to use a different launcher like ADW or LP or change the CPU governor.
ICS should enable hardware acceleration of the home screen, which will eliminate this problem, but we won't be seeing that for ~6 months.
I've been using various launchers, Launcher Pro is really quick, ADW Ex is rather nice and stable, but Go Launcher is the best (combination of horizontal app drawer with folders does it for me).
My problem is, Go Launcher grinds to a halt after about 2 hours, goes from being really smooth when flicking between homescreens and using the app drawer to a mess of force closes and broken promises (ok, not the last bit!)
Anyone else getting this issue? I've kept it on the phones memory (even going as far to turn it into a system app in titanium backup).
I'd really like to continue using Go Launcher, but it's not cool having to reboot the phone a few times a day to get it working properly.
Go Launcher is laggy as hell.
Using Launcher Pro Plus. Best Launcher.
I've used Go Launcher for a long time, and for me it's only been the last couple of updates that have made it laggier. My Gmail notification in the dock is messed up, and I've had a few force closes. The Go Devs are pretty quick about updates so I'll send them a tweet and send the data after a force close, but I'm definitely feeling the lag and stuff with the recent updates.
I've been using go launcher for 2 months now with no problems at all

Same here, fast as lightening for me, although sometimes the app draw has to redraw
Just installed it last week and have had no problems.
I just got it a few days ago or so and I love it. I'm finding new stuff all day. I need to get more themes though. I need a good Superman or Batman theme. I prefer Superman though.
Not green lantern?
I've uninstalled mine to, it does become very laggy in certain situations where more memory is required.
Mine has never lagged and I've been using a heavily configured and themed go launcher for about 6 weeks.
Did you make sure the default sony ericsson home service is shut off, and go launcher is set to default? I did it with a home screen manager.

ADW launcher crashes in all cm 7 build like stable,nightly and rc.I have tested all.
good solution for this problems so far?
Replace with another launcher if it bothers you so much. I don't get any ADW Crashes except when I restart the device and I am too impatient and start scrolling around / open the app drawer before it completely initializes. Once that's over, I am yet to see a crash.

That happens with other launchers too,Go launcher, adw, launcher pro they all crash on startup sometimes if your impatient (I am too btw).
If your getting random fc's after the systems settled try reinstalling adw from the market or using a different launcher.

I know I'm not the only one with the problem of the laggy app drawer. When you first open it, it's perfectly smooth. Then, if you leave it alone for a second and use it again, it's extremely slow. It happens on any Acer-based rom, including unrooted stock.
Well, here's an interesting fact: This only happens with a static wallpaper. The issue goes away with a live wallpaper.
Why is this happening? Is it a problem with the launcher or the rom?

Wow, that is interesting.
I have noticed that some people experience this issue, and some of them don't. My app drawer does get slow and laggy, but its more just a bit choppy than anything else. It doesn't really bother me so I never worried about it too much.
To be honest, I hadn't noticed that either. However, based on your description, it sounds like the live wallpaper prevents the cpu governor from underclocking (by virtue of the fact that it's more cpu-intensive, thus requiring the cpu to operate at a higher clock), thus preventing initial lag. Just hazarding a guess, though.
finally a thread about this. Here's what I know. I don't think its the CPU scaling because I've tried to fix this. It still happens even when I force it to 1.4 ghz+ the only rom without this problem is virtuous xoom. And it doenst seem to be the launcher. I've tried swapping them around
stock rooted 3.2 and cant make it happan, using reg walpapper. Did not see on previous versions.

looks like it is hc 3.2 issue - i wasn't experiencing this on hc 3.1 roms
i was trying as well find out the reason...
only thing what i found out - when the lag is there - killing any of running apss will kill the lag for some seconds as well and the app drawer become smooth again.
tested with quick system info pro.
Its the otherway round for me.......the app drawer lags a lot when i use live wallpaper and lags a little less when i use a static wallpaper....i think it depends on the kind of (live or static) wallpaper used on the device.....

It just always lags for me, but as I said earlier, it isn't enough to piss me off or anything. It's only a slight lag.
Everytime I see lag I just tell myself ics will be open source and one of our fine devs will make this awesome

Curious
I dont have a app drawer that lags but out of curiosity would someone with a laggy app drawer plug in a mouse to their unit and scroll the app drawer using that mouse. See if it makes a difference.
app draw lag
Could you explain app draw lag for me please?
Ever since it was introduced no phone has been able to quickly swipe through it without lag. I thought that the galaxy S3 had lag in the drawer because of lack of ram but its shocking to see that even the nexus 4 widget drawer has lag if you swipe very fast.
Whats most puzzling is that the widget drawer is only showing static widgets so I dont understand why it is so demanding. Seems like its not handled properly in the framework or something.
Top it that with live wallpaper
It's totally fine on mine and a lot of others phones. The reason the S3 lags is cause of the touchwiz skin weighing it down. Touchwiz sucks. That's why nexus-es with stock roms FTW!

Try to swipe through the widgets as fast as you can and you will see lag for sure....
i'm using nova launcher with vertical drawer. scrolls fast with no lag or stuttering for me.
just switched it to horizontal and it's fine also. mind you, it stops at each page so i'm not sure if that might be what you're mistaking for lag.

I don't get why people purposely try to lag down their phone by doing something they would never do in daily use (opening and closing as many apps as possible as fast as they can, swiping around as fast as humanly possible, etc) and then complain about lag? Just use the phone then see if it lags

Nah, that's too logical for the internet
@OP, I see what you mean and I experience the same thing but only if I actually try to make it lag. It's probably due to some sort of lack of optimisation, but tbh I just sorted out my homescreen once and don't really go back and reorganise it so I don't see any issues. I know that you're not complaining but just asking about it, so I thought I'd confirm that I have the same experience.

For some reason the widget drawer is much faster with vertical scrolling.
Nova launcher just delays the animation in the widget drawer if it can't show it fast enough but on stock launcher it will actually cause a stutter. The developer of nova launcher is an absolute genius.
I still don't see a technical reason why a nexus 4 can't just blaze through the widget drawer.
The guy talking about the xperia Z launcher well its handled very differently and mind you more efficiently in Sony launcher.

Actually this isn't true for this case. When I want to select a widget that's at the end of the drawer then I would swipe as fast as I can to get to it. Infinite scrolling causes even more performance issues with the widget drawer mind you so that's not a better option in this scenario.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
It does lag, it's true.
I run stock now but have tried all different roms and kernel combinations. And then all different governor/scheduler combinations. Swiping quickly through widgets always produces lag after a few pages. Even using nova/apex.
It doesn't bother me anymore (used to when I was a crack flasher), but it's undeniable.
Just install a different launcher like Nova lag free.

Yeah this.
Logically this is a non issue for me. Mine lags (4.2.2) but I'd never noticed it because that's not the way I use the phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Ok, so my phone is normal. I thought it was my phone. I see the hesitations and stutter only in widget draw running completely stock.
It doesn't bother me that much, but I am curious to know why that is only in widget section.
I can't reproduce this lag in my widget drawer. Using a CM based rom (modaco cm kang r9) with Trebuchet. Just saw a slight lag / stutter with Buzz launcher but I can't see it with Nova

I'm experiencing this too. Thought i was the only one!
It happens occasionally on mine though when i swipe real fast. Sometimes it lags terribly, like, i could see the pages stutter and struggle to load the widgets. And sometimes it's just super smooth.
Don't know for sure, but maybe it has something to do with some of the apps installed. Because the lag always happens on the exact same pages i swipe through. Mine is on the first 3 to be exact. And that's where all of my google widgets are placed, strangely.
Maybe it's just an issue with my device though. Running rooted stock 4.2.2 btw.
No lag here. I turned off animations and am using Nova launcher and I am underclocked to 1.2ghz.
No lag in widget drawer for me even when I swipe it unrealistically quickly. Stock 4.2.2, Franco kernel with default settings.
