Hello,
I would love to have a Fix for the Transparency bug with 3rd party launcher. For the SIII there was a Fix.
Is anybody able to do this?
You can use the latest beta nova 1.3.2beta1!
Fix included.
Do you know where I can download the beta from? Thanks.

Through the Nova update settings itself, in the launcher settings. Hit the Menu icon on the update box and put a tick in the Beta box, then check for new updates.
Oh ok, thanks

I tried reverting to original lib file from LIB with the issue and used Nova with its own fix... terrible! Laggy. back to dry ICS with no lubricating butter feel. Back to the patched lib and apex. Silky smooth like hummus (You don't mess with the Zohan!)
Edit: the fix is on the SGS3 forum but should work as the hardware is similar enough..

I have a couple of icons that I have to keep adding back on my widgets because they r disappearing!!! Does anyone know why this is happening and what can I do to fix this issue? I am not rooted, just got the device yesterday!!! Pls Help
Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab
PRL ver:60674
HW Ver:SPH-P100.08
Firmware ver:2.2
It's probably a bug with Touchwiz and froyo. If your app is installed on the SD card,(which happens automatically if the program has the api) the homescreen shortcut disappears after a reboot. My initial workaround was to move the apps back to phone, but I noticed that the problem went away when I installed LauncherPro. I suggest you install a different homescreen launcher as a fix. You're not going to miss anything from Touchwiz anyway.
I'm using ADW Launcher EX and I'm having the same issue every now and then. I might try Launcher Pro.

You can always have an alternate launcher in you rom,try launcher pro,from the market it works perfect.
Cheers.!
The fixes posted here did not work for me. However, I found this:

And it seemed to work for me.
Note: I couldn't post the link correctly as I am a noob.

I've noticed that in the leaked 2.3.4 firmwares, putting the Task Manager widget on the homescreen causes it to stutter when you're shifting through the homescreens. Never had this problem with KF3. Has anybody found a solution to this?
Nope no stutter here using KH3.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Hmmm that's weird. Wonder why I'm getting this stutter with every 2.3.4 version so far. And it's only when the widget it there, otherwise its perfect.
Im having the same problem too but not because of the task manager widget! I get stutter even with some icons and a couple of widgets!! I dont use task manager widget. BUT when i use live wallpaper then theres no stutter or lag and it becomes smooth as silk.. I have this on every 2.3.4 firmware i installed.. Now im back to stock kf3 and it rocks!!

If you have root access, then try using new touchwiz launcher from epic touch 4G. I had similar issue but now phone doesnt show even slightest of stutter.

Oh is it?? Actually i was thinking about that new launcher today that it would probably reacts better on 2.3.4 but i dont know if wanna go into the procedure of flashing KH4 again to test the launcher's lag!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I thought I was the only one, now I am enlightened. It only happens on my stock 2.3.4 KG7 ROM. I am on Cognition and they removed the widget it seems. Hope to see an update to the TouchWiz firmware soon!
When you mention it, yea it looks like the task manager widget for Touchwiz is making the home screens stutter a bit, hmm weird.
i have used apex before on the s3 but didnt really get on with it but the new beta is like lightning on the s3 or is it just placebo ?
It's using Jelly Bean code, so probably it's not placebo.
confirmed.
can confirm its fast as f!!k now. been using since i had a galaxy ace with ics kang and my oh my it's improved. one tip is no animations or transitions. buzz lightyear on my fone lol:cyclops::good::cyclops:
Yep really fast now, didn't realise there was a beta version out so thanks

My only problem with apex is the small lag when opening folders with a lot of apps. I just can't stand it and the beta still have it. Using nova until them fix it.
Where can I download it from ?

If you have Apex installed just check for updates.

you should try Holo launcher HD, based on jelly bean and zero lag, folders open instantly

To get the new Beta you have to have Apex launcher installed then go to Apex settings>About Apex Launcher>Automatically Check for updates> click Beta then search for updates.... It should now find and install the Beta version.
I'm using the beta as well, before that I was using Nova for a long time. Both are great and both have advantages and disadvantages. I'm going to stick with Apex for now. They are so similar but these are the major difference I have noticed using both
Apex:
Smoother Screen Transitions than Nova
Now has JB widget placement/resize
Nova:
Smoother scrolling in folders(apex folder scrolling is more jerky)
Ability to add and view multiple drawer tabs at once. With Apex it seems you can only have 3 tabs visible at once(2 app and one widget) with apex you can have as many as you like all visible
Other than that they seem pretty much the same
Go launcher us better than both for features.

That dinosaur? Lol. It'll do more harm than good.
Newbie question : what's the advantage of using newer ICS / JB specific launchers? Speed?
using Nova Launcher because Apex transition from homescreen to apps list isn't very nice. instread of homescreen fading back it just blacks out. On Nova it fades in like on the original ICS launcher.

You also can do this with apex, ppl should play more with the settings.
Drawer settings - drawer animation and choose fade in. This is NOT the swype animation.

Just curious, what launcher do you prefer? The stock one or another one?
This regarding speed and performance.
Thanks.

To me the stock launcher with stock keyboard ran a little sluggish to me. I went and installed nova prime and stock keyboard slugishness went away.
I'm hoping LG would polish some of bugs on their launcher to improve some performance as I kind of liking stock launcher.
Meanwhile I'm sticking to nova launcher.

Compared to Nova, the stock launcher is terrible.

Info
NOVA Launcher on all of my phones
Nova Prime here. Wasn't happy with the default launcher.
I have been using Apex for a couple of years now (on mulitple devices, of course) and haven't had any issues. Seems to run smoothly enough with the VS986 variant.
I just tried using nova prime but when I go to use the stock messaging app it says it isn't installed. Any thoughts? VS986
I have a VS986 as well and apparently, when you agree to start using the message+ app, it ignores the stock one and pretends it isn't installed. I'm not 100% positive of that, but that seems to be the case with mine.
I use Nova prime for all of my devices as well as SwiftKey! They are super fast on the G4 and allow the amount of customising I need.
I found the stock one was OK, but Nova has much more configuration options, and is a little faster, so I'm using Nova Prime.
Today I'm using the stock launcher. It's OK for now, but I like Next Launcher. I see many here uses Nova, so I'm going to give it a try.

Go to the app settings and clear that particular app's cache. And also restore/import apps do crash on some apps. So might want to reset the nova launcher settings of everything else fails.

I would try going into the app drawer and see if it works there... it could just be an icon on the desktop that doesn't know where or what the official name of the apk is. Then I would try the other suggestion that someone else posted before me.

Tried clearing cache, restarting nova, restarting phone, restarting messaging... No luck... I just downloaded textra and that works fine.
Nova Prime here too! Love it!
