I'm running civato's cm10 and my transition animations are very laggy and at times the screen just flickers whilst the animation should be happening. I first had this problem when I tried out Thor's Cornerstone ICS ROM ages ago, which I then moved on to his non-Cornerstone version because I didn't like it. Those problems persisted after removing Cornerstone however. I only just recently installed the ICS bootloader, did a full wipe/factory reset and installed cm10 in the hope that it'd be fixed but it seems that my animations are still very laggy. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
The flickering occurs mainly when using the app switcher, whilst opening and closing apps seems to cause a stuttering animation and opening the notification panel is very slow.
Edit: It seems ticking 'disable hw overlays' and changing the window, transition and animation scale to 0.5x has hid the lag a bit. Disabling HW overlays makes the big difference but it still stutters a fair bit when animations are set to 1x. The flickering does stop. Wouldn't expect this of a JB ROM though, so I still think something is wrong.
Edit 2: Did a full format, installed civato's ICS rom and everything works fantastic now.

I find on the rom that the menus seem to lag when scrolling they dont appear to be very smooth is there any fix for this or is it something that needs to be worked on.
I had a lag in the menu. It is now pretty much gone as I have disabled the window animations in spare parts. So no lag, but also no animation. My CPU settings are the performance governer and 176 / 691
lag
I get the lag to. It think it will get sorted.
I installed the rom and a few days later it started to lag on the menu. I tried optimizing to no aval.
I went back to 2.2 but 2.3 is so much better i re flashed the rom and it been so fast for a couple of days and now it's lagging again.
Launcher pro kept crashing to. Using go launcher which i think is better anyway and free.
Still is a great rom and sure it will be sorted soon.

I had this too. In CM settings / performance settings I ticked 'lock home in memory'. Definitely improves lag when resuming from screen off. Still a bit when navigating around but i'm running launcher pro with animations between 7 screens packed with live widgets, so the hero is forgiven!
I've installed the exact same ROM on my MT4G as well as my girlfriend's (both after a complete factory reset) and I've noticed that hers has this really smooth gliding left-to-right transition effect when entering and backing out of certain menus. I thought it was because we were running different versions of the ROM so I upgraded mine to the same version as hers but she still has those effects while my screens just appear without any gliding or transition. Seeing as these are both fresh installs, no default settings were changed. Is there something I'm missing? Is this related to the ROM or is it a stock option that hers had enabled that mine did not?
The ROM we are both running is Energy (Sense 3.5) July 26 Update.
Figured it out
I know I'm tooting my own horn here but in order to do it, you have to go to your "Display" settings and then under "Animation" make sure it is set to All window animations are shown.
I hope this helps anyone else who had this concern.
An explanation of the issue:
When I press the home button, the home button lights up, but there's a lag between the phone registering my touch and actually going "home". This video sums it up nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45J4dbN0mXI
Occurs almost every time, it's more prominent with 3rd party apps but there's even a delay when going home from "settings".
What I am running
Currently on OptimusG3 1.4 with Dorimanx 8.5.2.
What I've tried
Changing ROMS. The only ROMs where this issue doesn't appear are on AOSP roms.
Disabling G3TweaksBox and Xposed in general
Tried Nova Launcher (which I now use as my primary ROM)
Freezing the Default LG launcher
Uninstalling the default LG launcher
Speeding up animations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE!
The issue seems to be apparent on Nexus 4 too, found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/home-button-lag-android-4-4-kitkat-t2527703/page17
Switched to ART And now it's smooth but now I don't have xposed. Damn.
Still searching for a fix that doesn't include switching to ART
UPDATE:
I flashed the nexus 4 qualcomm dalvik libraries and I'm seeing a massive improvement. It's not entirely fixed, however. I still notice the animation stuttering, but overall it's much more fluid. If anybody knows how to eliminate this issue completely, let me know.
Hi all
Has anyone got a fix for the slight ui stutter that seems to happen on nova and apex (and most launchers) ? is only a little but enough to annoy me have tried turning on GPU rendering , disabling hardware interface and loads of different launchers.
Its only a small issue for an otherwise great tab ! but just feel it shouldn't happen. everything loads at lightning speeds so makes no sense ... guessing its poor software optimization.
The Lenovo launcher is terrible and its clear they sped up the transitions to hide the choppiness.
Next launcher etc work very smoothly but the wallpaper bugs if i rotate the screen.
Would rather not root the tab as it will stop me watching NOW tv etc.
Ps tried super touch but no use
I discovered the same issue - switched to Action Launcher 3
I have a Yoga 2 830, manually updated to Lollipop 5.01 using the Intel tool. I always immediately replace the stock launcher with Apex. It was with Apex I saw saw the little graphical glitches. There appeared to be no pattern, occurrence or reason for it.
At any rate, I switched to Action Launcher 3. You get all the same features and functionality, plus it has a smaller memory footprint.
For the record, I'm rooted using the Intel FBRL and also used it to install the current Xposed Framework ZIP. Everything is peachy so far!

Hi guys,
I've been running CM 13 for a while on my moto x play. I've had no problems with it until this last update and installing some themes.
After updating it, I downloaded some themes, applied them and received the "system ui has crashed" or something message on screen.
After this the wallpaper has turned black (no change if I try to change it manually), the animations for the lower bar (triangle, dot, square) are not showing, dragging the upper status bar takes several seconds to show, when my cellphone is unlocked the response of the system is extremely extremely slow. If I drag my fingers up to unlock it, it will take a long time. The funny thing is besides these, there are no problems apparently. If i go to settings, things run smoothly, chrome, facebook, whatsapp, etc. but any interaction with: status bar, lower bar, locked screen is extremely slow.
I mistakenly thought it was an update bug or smth and reinstalled a past update, but issues remain.
What happened and how can I correct this?
Well you said it yourself that the problems started after applying a theme. Did you try to reset to the system default theme?
Also never downgrade CM versions because that will only cause more problems than solving them.
If nothing helps I would recommend a clean installation because I don't have any problems with CM13 and any themes. Also some themes require a restart after applying.
Same thing happened to me as well. The status bar was not to be seen and there was no wallpaper. Did a clean installation and it was all ok. I am not sure which themes were installed back then.. But if you could share the ones that you installed, it might help!
