Does anyone else have an issue with losing the new 4.2 task switcher animation? It's the animation where the current app minimizes and the name of the app swoops in from the left. Could it be an app or ROM issue that disables the animation? The apps/ROM I'm using which I think may interfere with the animation are:
CM 10.1 nightly
Nova Launcher
LMT
Anyone else notice the same issues? It's just a cosmetic annoyance (firstworldproblems) but I would like to get it back. With the settings above, I had a few times where the animation was back until I rebooted the phone which I then lost thereafter. Seems kinda random so it's more of a "bug" then just a direct incompatibility.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I am on stock and for me the current app minimizes and the new one zooms in.
Now I am noticing that the JB animations actually used to bounce (kinda from top) in the new app from top but now it just zooms in from middle of the screen.

Hi there.
After the last big update to Nova some weeks ago, this started (see attached SS).
Have anyone tried it before? Sometimes it just appears; this time after I played on N64oid. Another weird thing is that sometimes I can just press System Settings (top right corner) and then press the Nexus 7 home button, and then it sends me back to the home screen, like nothing was ever wrong.
Some one know what to do? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have tried removing the widgets and replacing them afterwards! It removes the problem, but it returns after a while again.
EDIT: I'm on Paranoid android 2.56, Franco kernel, btw.

Hi. We recently upgrades two phones to the s4. One black and one white. Both are basically setup the same with GO lockscreen and launcher. The black one doesnt aeem to have problems but the white one will ´hang' or freeze on the lockscreen for about a minute every other time. Already tried hard resetting and wiping cache to see if that would fix anything...oh and also the white one will display the message no room on home screen (?) On the bottom and the oddest times even when im using the xda app
If anyone could let me know how ro fix this or if at this point I should just exchange this one for another...

I'm having the same problem with my GT-I9500. When I lock the screen and then few seconds later when I press the home button the lockscreen freezes for like 30 seconds and then it starts working again. I'm with the Stock ROM.
There shouldn't be any difference since they are the same model with same framework and only the color is different! Are you on stock ROM or a custom ROM? Just asking because maybe something went wrong during the custom ROM installation?
Anyway, I don't see a reason for the problem, and I would just recommend to try restoring the phone to it's original status (i.e. re install the latest stock framework and wipe everything off the phone). It might just work!
All the best!

I had this problem on the Galaxy S2. It seems to be a problem with Exynos since I don't have this issue on i9505.

I'm using android version 4.3. I noticed that the 'back' key in the navigation bar does not work in some apps. Especially go sms pro and EX dialer. Is anyone facing similar problems as well? Or is it the app itself is causing the glitch?

I have had the same issue in Slimbean rom and crDroid too. Dont know what causes it but I have got this issue rarely.. I just press home and clear the recent apps..nothing to worry though.
Press thanks if I helped you
Installed Android 4.4 via adb sideload onto 2x Nexus 4 and 1x Nexus 7 (2012). Installation was smooth as the rom is stock (un-rooted).
While trying to change the wallpaper (which I used earlier in 4.3), the wallpaper does not center anymore. Tried with multiple wallpapers meant for Nexus 4 and 7 respectively.
I later launched airdroid and saw --> com.android.wallpapercropper running in the background and consuming anywhere between 33-44MB of RAM.
The cropping tool to select the wallpaper no longer appears in Android 4.4. Anyone else facing similar issues?

Glad to know . Wonder if a bug is already reported.
In the same topic, even when I manage to center the wallpaper after reboot it get distorted (like zoomed in), do you have this to?

I got the exact same problem. The wallpaper looks stretched and real ugly.

Has anyone raised a bug with Google on this? If not, any idea how to submit a bug?
Wondering if the wallpapers are the proper res for nex 4. Possibly a small detail that needs to be corrected in the build env.

solved?
ok i figured out how to center my wallpaper image on the lockscreen.
using the oem launcher, on the desktop, swipe from left to right, to the last screen on the left...
hold down finger on screen till choose wallpaper option comes up, pick image from gallery and save as wallpaper....
shut off screen via power button press, press power button to wake device to lock screen...
image should be center on lock screen.. if its not, you didn't do it right, try again.
default screen in stock launcher is the screen all the way to the left... lame but whatever.
now you can set your default launcher to your choice, ie NOVA - APEX - WHATEVER and your lockscreen wallpaper is aligned

My friend also have this problem on 100% stock kitkat and after factory reset, so i guess everyone have this issue but i'm very suprised that no one talk about this... don't you ever restart your phone?

The problem happens when we set any photo as wallpaper, after restarting the phone, the picture appears as if it had applying a zoom.
have the same problem
I have the same problem with Nexus 7 2013 on KitKat.
Because the photo wallpaper will automatically zoomed in, now I'm using 3rd party wallpaper apps.
I'm just wondering how the app set wallpaper without being zoomed in. If the logic of setting wallpaper is the same, it should be zoomed.

That works for the centering, but after the power cycle the image (if a huge res is used) is blown up to a section of the picture and not how it was originally set as.
It's crazy that it lets you use a whole image for the wallpaper yet when the device rotates or power cycles it buggers it all up..
I had the same problem on stock 4.4.2. I even f-reset my nexus 4 but uh it didn't worked. in wallpaper cropper, if you choose it as is (positioning), it will be positioned in the hard left screen, so choose the half of the image like this
