trackpad laggy between home screen transitions - Desire General

hey guys, sorry if this has already been posted, I've done a quick search and nothings come up.
When using the track pad to scroll through home screens with a normal wallpaper, the transitions are really jumpy and laggy. but when using a live wallpaper it's fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
and if so, do you think there will be a possible fix for a rooted desire without having to flashing a custom rom?
Thanks, Brandon

Why use the trackpad at all?

same 4 me. trackpad on desktop lag.
i don't use it but anyway it's boring.

[Q] go launcher ex - screen sensitivity problems???

so, just got my phone looking and feeling pretty much how I wanted it using go launcher but I am noticed that either i have a problem with screen sensitivity or there is a problem with go. I am finding that i have to click some icons several times to launch them, seem worse in drawer.
Anyone else finding that the get the audible click but nothing happens?
EDIT: switched back to ADW and everything is back to normal, gotta be an issue with GO..
No. The only problems I've had with Go Loauncher EX is that there was a lag between the start of a horizontal swipe and the homescreens starting to swipe - resolved once I stopped the wallpaper from scrolling too, and in the app drawer sometimes a long press doesn't launch "edit mode".
Other than that it's all gravy...
odd, my problems disappeared when moving back to ADW. Cheers anyway though.
+1 haha i thought it was just me that was having this issue.when you select something on launcher it indicates the touch with the glow but nothing happens?press couple times and it will open.that is what i was having.was making think i was having lag.went back to touchwiz not a issue.
+2 Hot damn, I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I emailed them about it but it definitely goes away with a different launcher
cool hopefully they will have a fix in no time.those guys work hard.its hard to go back to touchwiz after go.i also use there go pro messenger.built in backup etc like the laucnher.
Having the same "lag" problem.
So, we're all NOT crazy
Cant say I have had this issue and I have been using GO Launcher for quite some time now.
Yes, I noticed this bug also.
I'm using go launcher ex for some time and this came out since 2-3 weeks.
I hope they will fix it soon.

I am having the same issue here. Gestures are disabled but that didn't help (even after restarting phone). Used to have Launcher Pro Plus which didn't have this kind of behavior.
Sent dev an email though.
Same observations. Especially bad for icons in the dock. I have always disabled gestures.
+1 I also have this problem from time to time. First I tought it was me missing the right spot on the screen, but it must be a bug.

[Q] Notification drawer lag

I have a lag issue with my device and its starting to drive me crazy. Lol.. But anyway when I'm using the touchwiz launcher and drop down the notification drawer while on the home screen the animation is really choppy and laggy. But as soon as I open an app like gmail or even settings menu the choppiness is gone. The home screen lag will go away if I use another launcher as well like launcher pro or go launcher. But I prefer the twlauncher.
Another strange thing is the twlauncher has no home screen lag when using cm7 so I know the device is capable. Just was wondering if anyone else has this issue or found a way around it, thanks!
Just wanted to note that this didn't occur on my epic touch 4g

Just root the device and flash a rom, I think Samsung didn't spend enough time optimizing the Snapdragon with the Touchwiz skin.

Wallpaper problems

Hey. Just a quick question, does anyone else have problems with there wallpapers bouncing around after the phone is being woke up. I have tried numerous different tasks but still the same. It happens with the standard wallpapers that come with the device. I have tried my own picture from gallery, also does it with live wallpapers. Usually I do the built in task manager and clear the RAM then I have to do that 3-4 times a day. It's just pretty annoying.

I have noticed this also. When it goes from the swipe to unlock screen to the pattern unlock screen the background shifts down. Not a big deal but annoying.

Would you say it sounds similar to this?
"Also adding that lock screen and home screen wallpaper are the same. I don't recall seeing this prior to my factory reset, but now when i unlock my device, the wallpaper shifts upward a hair, but enough to blur when doing so. Distracting and annoying."
Just gathering info right now. You are the only on eI have seen with what seems to be the same or similar issue. Thanks in advance.

Sounds similar. It's more like my wallpaper is trying to recenter when unlocked. I have tried the same backgrounds still the problem.
I got my SGN2 from wirefly.com.

Solution for laggy homescreen and systemUI in 4.2.2 update

As we all know that the 4.2.2 update made our phone as fast as the 4.1.2. But it has a bug, at least for Maguro (not happening on my N7). Do you ever get a laggy scrolling on homesceen, when entering app drawer and scrolling in recent apps? I believe everyone has it. But only few people notice it. I have tried all 4.2.2 ROMs. AOSPA, AOKP, PAC, etc and all of them has this bug (I have done a clean flashing). And I have tried all launchers, Nova, Apex, Holo, Action Launcher, Stock, but the lag is still back!
The (systemUI) lag has to do with rendering (static) wallpapers. This can be solved by:
1. Setting a live wallpaper
2. Temporarily, by pressing the app switcher button, rotating the screen and pressing the back button
3. Disabling system autorotate
4. Making the launcher (instead of systemUI) handle the rendering of wallpapers. In Nova launcher, use the 'force scrolling' option, in Trebuchet (CM) use the 'wallpaper quick render' option
5.. Using an app to set static wallpapers as if it were a live wallpaper
Also, emptying cache for all user and system apps using Titanium Backup seems to affect the issue positively. Please note that this might result in some settings being set to stock (like the keyboard, snooze duration and some other minor things).
Well, this is only for temporarily solution for those of you that getting sick of this bug. Waiting for the fix from Google.
Thanks to Butter Smooth for summarizing
Tiny Kernel and Crossbreeder Mod = No lag for me.

AW: Solution for laggy homescreen and systemUI in 4.2.2 update
I've noticed the choppy transitions in 4.2.2. too and I'm glad I'm not the only one
Another finding is that changing the wallpaper makes the transitions smooth again. But the choppiness returns after a while. I'll try your tip tomorrow and report...

using xperia z live wallpaper with water ripple and it's free
I have notice this as well. Static wallpapers cause app drawer lag for me and when I use phase beam its lag free! Weird considering live wallpapers usually slow down the system..

To me 4.2.2 seems the most stable version so far, it's very much consistent, and scrolling in the recent apps menu gets laggy after I scroll a certain amount, and ofc when removing the process it lags, but this was present in 4.2.1 as well, i would have to say that as far as performance say, it's much more consistent than previous versions,
Static wallpaper or live, i see no difference

im using latest pa (4.2.2) with apex launcher with a few widgets and have no lag whatsoever. i use a solid black color as backround.

There's actually a lot of truth to the live wallpaper trick. Back on the Photon forums, we would use this technique to smoothen out the UI on our ICS and JB releases since we did not have a proper kernel and drivers, thus terrible onscreen performance. But this fix has existed since ICS! And it works!
Regarding the live wallpaper being smooth. It might have something to do with scrolling wallpapers too. How is everyone's feelings on a static, non scrollable wallpaper? Or is that what we are talking about?
I've had the choppyness too.
I am now using plasma beam and will report back. I also am going to try it on my nexus 10.
I'm telling you guys, try out the combo I posted in post 2. It really removes lag.

i use it like that(single homescreen no scroll)and i noticed the same lagging issue after a while
but i think it has to do with how you set the wallpaper, when i used zedge or image2wallpaper to set them the issue stated on the OP appeared
but if i use the stock gallery to set them and the problem is mostly gone
something else ive noticed is that the status bar lag only happens when on the launcher screen, open any app and pull the SB and its smooth, go back to the homescreen and pull it,its choppy
EDIT
still happens even after using the stock gallery

Using plasma live wallpaper. So far so good.

I've noticed the same problem with 4.2.2 ever since it came out. I usually use Phase Beam so I never noticed it. Only when I switched to a static wallpaper (one of the stock ones) for a day did I notice that the transitions into and out of app drawer and scrolling through home screens gets choppy. I never did find a way to reproduce it reliably, but I do know that if you use it long enough it will start to happen.
Immediately fixes itself by setting to any Live Wallpaper as OP had suggested.
Problem only started to occur with 4.2.2. Never had it happen in 4.2.1 or 4.1.x.

Then try to swipe on lockscreen between widgets if you have some. You will notice that the lag is still there, but atleast its a better deal to have it on lockscreen then on homescreen.

I don't know man. I'm either lucky or just not as picky but I don't even notice lag there. I have a few screens of widgets on my lock screen too.
Set a static wallpaper, go back to home screen or lock your device. Then, swipe down the notification bar and notice how choppy it appears.
Now, go inside an application, like Calculator - swipe down the notification bar and notice how smooth it is.

I don't get it...

[Q] Nova Launcher: No home button animations

Hey everyone. I just got a M8, like today, and I'm loving it. I've been happily getting all my apps and everything sorted, but I've hit a bit of a problem with Nova Launcher. It's installed, set as default, I've ported across the settings from my old phone (HTC One X, Sense 5, 4.2.2) and everything looks good, except..... For some reason, when I hit the home button I get no animations. Just a little bit of lag and then the screen just switches to default. The Sense 6 launcher, however, does the nice scrolling thing back to my home page, which I want, but Nova doesn't.
I've hit google, found nothing. Tried all the settings I can think of and nothing jumps out at me (the App Animation setting seemed the obvious, but that didn't seem to help). So, has anybody else had this problem? Am I missing something incredibly obvious? Or is this just the way it is with the M8 and the current version of Nova? It's not enough to really annoy me, but the lack of animation is a bit jarring.
Thanks!

Tried that, but does nothing
It really is weird, especially when I can't find ~anybody~ having the same problem on this device. It's almost like Nova freezes up slightly when it would normally be running the animation, as if it's conflicting with Sense 6 or some way the home button is rigged up.
Bizarre.
Right now, my options are either live with it (it isn't that annoying after all, it just bugs me) or go back to Sense (which runs lovely, but i can't get on with the vertically scrolling app drawer).

Are you on Sense or GPE or another ROM?
I use Nova and leave the app animation on system default. The animation works just fine (not to say that you don't have an issue but just to let you know that it should work). Do you have animations on your stock launcher (sense/google now launcher)? If not, then perhaps there is an issue with your device that may require a reset and reinstall?

Thanks for your reply.
I'm on Sense, completely stock. Nova was one of the first things to go on when I got the phone too. To be honest, I've just been using the Sense launcher in the last week and I'm getting used to it. Not as nice as nova, but pretty smooth and simple. Now, there are other things about KitKat that are annoying me even more. Really starting to consider rooting, althoughI've never done it before and I'm a little nervous. Maybe I should practice on my One X?

Um. Okay. I just switched to Nova and now the animations are working..... No idea what I did. Only thing I can think of is maybe turning off fastboot last night before a reset, although I'm sure I tried that last weekend......
Whatever. Happy now ?
