Lollipop 5.0.1 upgrade added 'delay' to transition between home screens - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I unlock my phone for use, upon attempting to switch between my home screens I noticed a one second freeze between the home screens before it changes. Once this initial freeze is gone the transitions are smooth once again. Is there anyway to correct this? I have tried clearing cache (via Storage menu) and it did not help.

Nobody?

Weather Animation Lag

Is any body else experiencing lag for their weather animation on the Home tab? I don't have this problem on my Weather tab, it looks great. Only when in my home tab, it looks like it runs smooth for half the time, then it gets really chopppy and slow.
I've already tried messing with my shortcuts, and removing my sd card, but those aren't the problems. I also have BSB Tweaks installed, and tried disabling the power saver option, but that didn't do anything either.
Mine does that as well sometimes, not always.
You could try disabling "V-Sync" on the device. Or instead of having the HTC Sense userinterface allocate resources "as needed", you could increase the minimum and maximum amount of resources it is always guaranteed to be utilizing at any given time.
Try searching the forums for those minor registry tweaks and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Just did a hard reset, that seemed to do the trick. Also using a 8GB class 6 SD card now, with not too much performance increase. May go back to the stock 16GB class 2 card for more storage.
check ur task manager.
you could be using up too much memory. if you have applications running in the background when the home screen weather animation is loading it could slow it down.
i noticed this with my touch pro 2 as well.
I have noticed the HD2 is lagging terrible when The wifi is trying to connect or the data connection changes. When the signal changes it even lags the device. I am not sure if this is a radio problem or what because all roms so far have this issue
Any updates on this issue?
I've discovered that when I hard reset my HD2, it turns out pretty nice. No lag at all, clouds and screenwipers really smooth =)
But then the breaking point, I install the cookie's tabs, it installs .net framework, immediately the weather animations start to lag..
I don't wanna uninstall the cookies tab (and .net) because I'm using pretty much every application from those quick links. the winter is coming, I wanna enable the weather animations, but I can't do it right now because it's too irritating and slowing the quick link screen changes. they become laggy too.
oops.. just came here with google search and didn't notice that its t-mobile thread. hope it's not a problem.
So far,
I've done every performance trick mention in these forums, but nothing has changed.
This thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629388
has specific tweaks supposed to increase the performance but no, nothing has changed. VSync is disabled, SENSE memory is increased, but still lagging in the weather application.
Should I just switch to a custom ROM? Makes me think that this'll not solve it since it was running just fine before .net 3.5 as I mentioned before.
Weather is annoying me now because it refuses to update. When I click "update now", the little arrow moves in a circle for a few minutes then nothing changes. It's been doing this since I had my stock 2.13 ROM...I did a Task 29, hard reset, formatted my class 6 SD card, and installed Spike's ROM and it still does the same damn thing...
If I disable phone altogether and turn on WiFi, it will update.
How can I just disable Weather altogether on my home screen without disabling Sense?
Oh yeah, and the stuttering does seem to be related to the data connection trying to sync after coming out of sleep...
You could try installing Cookies Home Tab and using the editor to turn off the animations all together. As far as I know you can't "uninstall" weather from the home tab, but you can turn the animations off and just make it a static image.

Slide to the weather tab tap menu/settings and uncheck update.
hi,
I just figure out the BSB tweaks make animation lag, (since Im new user to HD2) I notice it after installation yesterday, right know after uninstalling the bsb tweak, the cloud motion is not lag anymore....
im on duttylacreme
That annoyed the crap out of me also. When I flashed a new rom it smoothed out. I get stutters when I turn the screen on and it immediately does a check to update the weather, but every other time it's smooth. I'm on miri and dinik's anastasia one from the non tmous roms page. It also fixed any sms lag I had too, if you're experiencing that.
So there's no way to remove the weather app from the phone?

I suppose if you're using cookies home editor you could choose a different weather app to associate with the weather tab of sense and that would not update unless you chose it manually.
you do not need to install or tweak anything to turn the animation from the home screen off, simply select animated wallpaper and choose any wallpaper you want from your sd card or device just as if you were choosing a weather wallpaper

Huge thanks to the one who can help me solve this issue! (Home button delay)

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.

[Q] TouchWiz home app: App icons disappear in Lollipop

After my S5 (non-rooted, official, knox 0x0) was updated to Lollipop, I've been facing the following problem:
Every few days all the app icons disappear from the apps menu. However, all the tabs that should contain them are still there, but are empty! Additionally, I cannot open any folder that contains app icons on the home screen. To add to that, when I click on the home-screen menu settings that should display the widgets, options etc. the screen does the zoom out effect but no icons/options appear; only an empty screen .
When that happens, I've tried switching to the "Easy Mode" interface option, which still works and thus I can access apps and settings again. If I switch, back to normal mode everything disappears once again!! :cyclops:
I've been able to fix this problem by going to the Application Manager and clearing the data/cache of the TouchWiz home-screen app, but every time I do that (second time today) I loose all home screen settings, widgets, icons order etc. and this is getting annoying!
-Edit 1-
Just found another way to solve this that seems to work:
1) Switch to Easy Mode
2) Restart phone
3) Switch back to normal mode and everything is back in place
-Edit 2-
OK, the above is only temporary; after a few minutes the problem came back!
Now added screenshots...
Anyone, with the same problem?

White overlay on home screen

Edit: figured it out.
I downloaded a bunch of apps last night that required screen overlay (draw over other apps) permission to operate. I uninstalled all of them, but now when I scroll horizontally on my home screen of Nova launcher, this white transparent overlay pops up on my screen except over the status bar. It’s most apparent when reaching the far edges with infinite scroll turned off, where I can hold it in place. I have a screenshot, but I can’t post it yet. It’s on the Lgv20 subreddit though. It also flashes intermittently when I swipe anywhere horizontally. Swiping vertically to open app drawer doesn’t seem to trigger it. It disappears when I’m not touching the screen.
I had Flynx, Amaze browser, Flyperlink, chromer, Link bubble brave (from apks), Trine browser, Hermit, and swipe for facebook downloaded. I’ve since removed them but it’s still there. I’ve tried restarting a few times and ran the smart cleaning. I’ve also tried redownloading the apps, clearing data, force stopping, then uninstalling, but no dice. I’ve gone to the Special access>Draw over other apps section and disabled all third party apps I’ve ever downloaded, and I’ve also restarted Nova a few times. This hasn’t accomplished anything, either.
Other screen overlay apps I have installed include Simple Pie, Status, Directchat Pro, Lastpass, Airdroid, and Screen Filter, but these haven’t caused problems before.
Help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. The flickering is driving me nuts!!

Go into safe mode and see if it still happens. If not, you missed something.

Thanks for the reply. The effect doesn’t occur on LG’s default launchers, even outside of safe mode. Or at least I couldn’t get it to trigger. This is why I suspect this might have something to do with Nova, but I wasn’t sure. I’ll try reinstalling instead of just restarting. I rebooted into safe mode, and the effect wasn’t present, but I couldn’t test Nova.
figured it out. sometime in the process of installing/uninstalling apps and fiddling with the settings of the apps (some of which added icons to the home screen which was locked), some of my nova settings were altered. One setting I saw was that infinity scroll was turned on even though it supposedly isn’t compatible with the nova google now companion. Probably why it was glitching a ton and caused chromer to crash repeatedly when opening links from there (unsure). Some animations were also changed for some reason. I reloaded a nova backup I had and all was well.

Swipe gestures don't work from the bottom on my S10+ screen

When I enable full screen gestures I can't swipe up from the bottom for any action. It doesn't matter if I use nova launcher or one ui. Swipe from the sides for back works fine. Swipe up to open the app drawer in nova launcher works fine. Nav buttons work fine. It was working until I restarted my phone. I did a factory reset and it worked until I rebooted the first time. Has anyone found a fix for this? I need to be able to restart my phone without worrying about losing swipe up nav gestures. I also have tried doing a settings reset and that also fixed until I rebooted. I also have this issue on fully stock One UI and after rooting stock One UI and on BeyondROM.
TYIA!
I have you tried flashing your current stock ROM with Odin?

Yes I have tried that. As soon as I reboot I lose swipe gestures from the bottom of my screen. It happens even if I have nothing installed on my phone and I skip all of the initial setup or not
I found the issue. I don't know why I didn't notice this earlier but the problem for me was caused by disabling one ui home in Package Disabler or Titanium Backup. I thought I checked that but maybe I missed it. Hopefully this is the final fix and it won't come back again.
