HELP with ADW Launcher?? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched around but doesn't look like people even bring these two problems up, maybe you can help?
1. Whenever my phone is locked for over 2 minutes or so, and I unlock it, it seems to lag when i swipe to another home screen for just about 1/2 second after i swipe my finger. It runs fine after that. I've tried tweaking some settings but it doesn't seem to go away. Didn't experience this on a non-sense rom. Anyone with help on that?
2. Also, I noticed that if you open the keyboard when in the home screen, it moves the entire screen up with it. Is it possible to not move the screen up? It causes problems when I'm in a messenger and press the home button with the keyboard open because the entire screen flickers. Not much of a problem, just didn't experience this before either.
Thanks for any help at all guys.

If it's the original ADWLauncher then it isn't that well optimized and with Sense, I get that little like stutter as well. Sense is just a massive ***** to load up.
I don't know how your getting your keyboard on your homescreen. By default, the keyboard moves everything up no matter what with no settings really. You can have a look in Language and Keyboard but I doubt it.

half blank home screen???

okay so I've had this problem a few times on 2 different G2s
not sure what happens but the phone seems to trick it's self into thinking its still in landscape mode even though its in portrait and I end up with a black screen though I can see the notification bar and can even drag it down and see it so I know the screen isn't turning off and if I open the keyboard i can only see the very right side of the screen or what would be the bottom if it were in portrait mode yet the notification bar seems to work. It usually happens when I close the keyboard. It's not a huge problem as I can just hold the power button down to bring up the "power down, airplane mode, silent mode" screen up and that fixes it. I managed to get it to happen and was able to grab some screen shots. Anybody else have this problem?
I used to see that same issue on my G1 with ADW Launcher installed
ya it happens to me using the adw launcher... i think it is just a rendering issue. also if you use adw launcher you notice the pull down shade doesn't cover the very top when pulled down? just launcher glitches still runs like a champ now that i use temp root. beautiful thing about temp root is that unlike the g1 you don't have to reboot this thing every 8 hrs lol.... i do it just cause i feel like i'm still using my g1.. autostart kills all those damn google apps that run. setcpu is running great. no oc obviously but now you can throttle it... wireless tether plus they have it on a 3 click apk that you can use. SDk/adb knowledge needed though for it...

[Q] Lag when switching to Landscape mode?

Hey guys,
Love the G2. Anyone notice that there's a 3-4 sec lag sometimes when switching over to landscape with keyboard out?
Anyone have this problem?
Yea it really depends in how much stuff you have on your screen.

No not me. It could be that you have too much things running in the background and its eating your memory. Try killing things running in the background or restart your phone.

I notice a little lag with widgets on the screen. And sometimes the home screen is blank when backing out of apps, but shifting the screen left or right brings it back.

i get the same thing when i have alot of things running.
Yah I get the same... blank empty screen for a while when exiting certain apps and going back to home.. kinda annoying sometimes
Anyone have a work around?
Basically I notice it happens if:
- Screen is off
- Open/Close keyboard (orientation change)
- Screen turns on, if I'm in an app, i.e. messaging I then
- Press home key
- LAG, blank home screen for 4 seconds...
Really annoying, I think it might be something I installed but I haven't done any serious modding (only root, S-off, unlock... installed visionary and setcpu but running stock ROM)

[Q] ADW EX issues

I bought the new EX ADW launcher and threw it in CM 6.1.1 before I flashed it. This thing is great, well worth the money and by far the best launcher out there. My main issue though is that for the life of me I can't get my phone to lock now. I can press power and the screen will time out like normal but when I 'unlock' it the screen just comes back on - no lock screen or anything. Even tried setting a pattern and got nothing. Anyone else have this issue or figure out how to fix it? I figure I just did something wrong
The second issue is I can't get my home button to do anything. No previews and it won't take me back to the home screen - in fact aside from vibrating when I touch it, it doesn't work at all. Could it be conflicting with the cyanogen settings or something else?
Any ideas would be appreciated and helpful.

Hmmm...I'm using adw launcher ex and I don't have either of those two problems you mention. I'm running 6.1.1. I'm using lock screen gesture to unlock the phone instead of pattern lock. For me, turning off screen and immediately waking it shows the lock screen. As for your home issue there is a home binding option in the settings, maybe there is your problem? I have mine set to default screen/previews when I press the home button.

Lockscreen issue has to be due to CM because ADW EX doesn't mess with that.
Check the input settings in CM Mod to make sure you don't have the lockscreen disabled.
I ended up re-flashing the ROM and it works now. It does it randomly - the last time it occurred after running a fix permissions, kind of strange. No sure if that's what caused it or not.

Keyboard disappearing lag - when in a message then pressing home

Even before flashing a new ROM I was getting this lag. When you're in a message with the keyboard showing then press home, the messaging app clears but the keyboard stays up for literally like a full second then disappears. Yet, if you are within a message and go back out of the message (press upper left) it has no issue disappearing as it should.
Any way to fix this, it's really annoying.
Had the same thing. No matter which rom

Yep same here...
Its about half a second lag if you actually time it. But it never bothered me at all, i'm surprised it bothers so many people. This issue was posted before too.
I dont think its a lag but more just a transition type effect issue.
It is because the keyboard is its own application. The way android runs is it shuts down the messaging app first then the keyboard second thus the lag. Manually close keyboard before exiting if it bugs you. It bugged me a lot coming from my iPhone where the keyboard is a UI element and closes at the same time. I've just learned to close my keyboard then go home.
I've had it with every Android phone I can remember having. It's not remotely an issue for me.

This. I now always press back, then home or my OCD kicks in.

Yeah, I'm having to do that too. Pretty bootsy if you ask me. Doesn't make sense why the OS can't close both applications at the same time though. Actually pressing back in the upper left closes the message and the keyboard at the same time.

When you hit back in the app it doesn't have to close the messaging app itself and just closes the keyboard app
Also, the way Android is written, is when you hit home it has to draw the launcher which is why it doesn't simultaneously close the two apps. Downside of the way android is programmed.

[Q] Gestures taking me to the wrong home screen?

This is my first post here. I searched but didn't find anything like this. I posted on another site and nobody could help.
Ok so I just got my M8 yesterday and so far love it. However I have found a small issue that really bothers me. For some reason when on the lock screen gestures, if I swype left to go to home screen it always takes me to the screen just to the right of blinkfeed. I have changed my home screen and reset it so that my home screen is in the middle of two panels. (Blinkfeed is two to the rignt). However regardless each time I swype left on lock screen it takes me to the (what was the default) panel where the home screen used to be.
Anybody else experience this or know how to fix?
