Anyone else have alot of lag when you open/scroll in the app drawer? I got alot of lagg and it doesn't look very nice. Anyone got this and found a solution?
I only have this problem after I updated to 2.1 like 3 weeks ago.
Yes i also have the same problem but that is only when using live wallpapers. Switch to normal one and see if it still lags.

Hey thanks that worked. What a stupid add-on to use Live Wallpapers if you can't use them properly.
Try launcher pro (free in the market) its much more stable and has tons of options! Pretty much everything is customisable...
You might have a lot of applications running on the background. Check the running application page in the settings. When I restart my phone I always go there first and shut down what I don't use, like the face recognition, etc...
Yea just turned off live wallpaper and no more lag on menu screen thanks just wish there was a way 2 live wallpaper on am not have that lag there

Doom LW is the one that gives me less lag in drawer, all the others give me a lot of lag in the drawer, a shame we don't have a good implementation for the gpu or the thing that give us that crap performance.
I get lag using the stock launcher and Launcher Pro, but not with ADW.
That's even with a live wallpaper, and I have ADW set to a transparent drawer so I see the live wallpaper there too.
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.
I have seen this on other 3.2 tablets... I assume its a gpu thing or just a bug in 3.2

Sounds like the problem is on Acer's end. Email time!

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?
Hi all,
So far km loving the tab apart from three thing:
1. It takes more than 1 second to turn the screen on after lock, why?
2. Rotation of the screen and swiping homescreens is jerky and slow
3. Gmail keeps crashing
Anyone else noticing this?
My desire s phone is more smooth on transitions and quicker to unlock.
Makes the look a bit cap when trying to show why it's better than an ipad

Non of those problems but I am using adw ex not stock launcher
I also suffers wake delay and laggy rotation. My single core phone with ics is way faster.

I think delay is normal as this is the systems problem but I never experience laggy rotation.

adw launcher solves the rotation and swipe homescreen issues but not others points ... I have same behaviour, including occasional gmail fc
The Note was/is the same way. Custom ROMs usually fix these two issues, but there are only a few 6800 ROMS out and NO 6810 ROMs
The wake delay exists for all the touchwiz devices as far as I know, occurs with my galaxy S2 when it is on battery due to the fact the cpu is throttled down to save on battery. When plugged into the wall the delay is absent.
Thx all for the replies, glad I'm not the only one suffering this.
Just wish a nice plain Google only ics rom would hurry up and appear!

i am using adw but i still have to wait for the wallpaper to refresh everytime i rotate the tab.
Wait a little for ICS and you will be in heavens
Btw I have the same problems but a democracy has always a lot of problems but it is democracy....thank for that
And not so bad problems...
I've never had Gmail FC on me, for those who claim or will claim they dont have any wake up delay.. post a video.
My phone seems overall kind of laggy. I'm on stock 4.2.1 with stock kernel. Just started noticing the lag today. Minimal but annoying and seems to exist on almost all the kernels I have tried.

It's cheap and dirty, but I always set animations to half speed (.5x) and use Nova launcher with the animations cranked to fast. That makes me feel all warm inside.
My advice would be to root and flash a custom ROM such as Parandroid.

How exactly are you defining 'lag' though? I'm on a rooted stock ROM and stock kernel with no issues whatsoever, speed is much faster than any phone I've used before.
I have tonnes of apps installed on the stock ROM. Runs okay at the moment, beautifully smooth
there is definitely lag on the touch gestures. i see it and it's been commented-on in reviews.
eg. when you gesture to scroll or pinch expand there is a momentary delay (fraction of a second) before anything happens. just long enough to be annoying. it's not instant.

That's because of the poor touch screen sensitivity of the phone.

That's not lag, that's just the lack of sensitivity in the touch screen. It's hardware related but if you look at this video from oode (definitely subscribe to him for quality tech videos) it appears that this issue isn't there in Firefox for some reason. As of now I don't know of any solution as such.

Just the occasional freeze for a second on opening the keyboard or apps, seems slower than last week when I got it.

OK, I installed the touch increase mod and the lag is better

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.

Running like a champ here. No lag, but I'm running the xperia z launcher so the widgets are set up differently in the widget drawer

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.

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.

Works perfectly fine here also with CM + Nova + Franco kernel.
No lag at all.
