I run tsf shell and next launcher and adw ex 99 percent of the time though so far I've only run tsf and next on my g2. I have experienced the exact same issue while running both launchers. I'm rooted and have over 30 apps frozen including the stock launcher.
I'm having an issue where after running my phone for awhile my launcher will lock up and refuse to do anything, or it will run so slow that it's impossible to use. The strange thing is I can still drag the notification window down and go into settings and do whatever in there and everything functions fine and is smooth, so I know there's some issue with the launcher. A reboot fixes it for awhile but it has come back several times. Another weird thing to note is the launcher isn't force closing. It will continue to run and never force close.
This thread isn't about me having a buggy phone and need to return it (though anything is possible) but it's about me thinking I have caused this issue myself by freezing something I shouldn't and now I'm getting this. At first I thought it was tsf shell so I downloaded next and froze tsf and it happened on next so I know it's not the launcher itself. Based on my thinking that it's something I froze I have since defrosted the LG home app and after a couple hours have yet to have the issue. But I'll keep this thread posted on what happens.
If someone else has had this and fixed it please post...if you are having it and didn't know what to do and you froze LG home try defrosting it and post your results. I know from experience that sometimes these phones on the stock roms can bug out when you freeze certain stock apps so I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thanks.

You obviously missed the point of my thread but thanks for the feedback.

Sounds like you froze the stock launcher and the phone bugged out. Just leave the stock launcher unfroze.. No telling how many lg system enhancements depend on it.
As for me, I never freeze apps. I just remove them using root explorer. Usually isn't hard to find out what apps are safe or unsafe to remove.

I also think it's a UI function that uses the launcher. I have not used a shell and a launcher together before but I'll try it later w/out freezing. The LG launcher.

I also find using the stock home switcher causes less problems.

Launcherpro is the only app on my phone that keeps force closing.. I keep getting launcherpro.xxx.acore or something like that saying it has force closed even when I'm not on the home screen. I could be on xda and it will close. Anybody else having this issue

I haven't had an issue with it yet. Actually I haven't seen it crash once.
Perhaps another application is having a conflict with it? or try reinstalling.

second to you, never experienced fc from launcher pro
It has never happened on my G2, however I have noticed that it force closes a lot on my friends G2...

I am using LauncherPro on a G2. It crashed on me once. But that was after I had set up 5 homescreens and then changed it to 4. It crashed, and then restarted. It has been okay since then.
Yeah I'm using 7 homescreens on launcherpro maybe its too much I also use a ton of widgets

I had the same problem constant fc's i eventually uninstalled and started using adw. I'll switch back eventually because I had the plus edition
So I finally found out the problem, I installed an older version of launcherpro and all my problems are gone

I ended up clearing all the data for launcherpro and restoring to defaults and then looking at my nexus and reordering again and it works perfectly now
Try a different version of Launcher PRO.
The version I'm using has been great. Check my signature.
Launcher pro plus works great on mine.

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.

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.

I upgraded to ICS through Kies and after some time of usage the home button won't exit an app unless I press again a second rime.
At first I thought I might had not pushing it hard enough but this is not the case and it happens with every app.
I haven't installed any new apps besides the ones I've always used without this problem.
My phone is not rooted and I'm using the default touchwiz launcher. No mods of any short.
Anyone else who has come across this problem?

I have the same issue, on stock 4.0.3 rooted, using Nova launcher.
It is more apparent right after the device wakes up. It seems like it's struggling to load fast enough core OS elements/parameters or user input.
It's a joke.
They need to prioritize certain user commands, and suspending or exiting an app is way more important than weather update for example...
