Lock Stock Launcher in memory?

I'm sure I saw someone say they have locked the stock launcher in memory by editing the build props, but i can't for the life of me find that post.
I tried V6 Supercharged but either I couldn't use it or it doesn't work. Is there anyway to lock it?
Thanks in advance.

Locking it to memory, is that the same thing as "freezing" it using Titanium Backup? If not what does locking it to memory do?

It 'locks' it into RAM. These means that Android's low memory task killer function will not kill the home launcher.
Have you ever played an intensive game, or hopped between applications using a lot of RAM and then pressed the home key and watched as the homescreen has to be loaded again? Icons slowly appearing, widgets loading and the homescreen sluggish until the system clears enough space in the ram for it to sit comfortably again.
This build prop fix THEORETICALLY fixes this issue by not allowing the allocated ram for the launcher to be cleared for another application.

Oh wow that would be awesome! I hate when i hit the home button and my clock widget part of it is were its suppose to be and the other part is towards the bottom and half off the screen untill it finishes loading. Or my icons are all little green droid shopping bags.... lol
would there be a way to modify the string to work with GO Launcher instead of the stock home launcher?

I assume it would apply to whatever is set as the default launcher so the launcher used is irrelevant.
Go Ex Launcher is such a god damn annoying pile of crap to lock into memory. I've tried using build prop tweaks, using the built in "lock to memory" feature in it, I've even v6 supercharged my r800i to try and "bulletproof" or "hard-to-kill" it.
The supercharge is the only semi-consistent way I have found.
It only works sometimes. The others work 5% of the time for me.

I've tried both, and find Ram Manager to be superior. But ymmv

I'm probably just a sucker for the nicer ui tbh

I was under the impression that Ram managers of any sort were bad news past the Droid1 era. They interfere with androids own task killer and actually cause a loss in battery life overall.

Task killers are bad news, yes. These, however, edit Androids default minfree values, giving more strict or liberal handling of tasks using Androids own 'task killer'.

What values would you recommend for ram manager
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

I use the "balanced more multitasking" profile for day to day, and the "hard gaming" profile for playing games.

What's a good replacement launcher preferably one that is being developed on xda
Sent from my R800x using xda premium

Adw launcher
Sent from my R800x using XDA App

GO Launcher Ex is another good one, lots of customization and well made Widgets. Updated weekly like most GO apps are.
I use it on all my devices, including a rooted Nook Touch.

Nemus Launcher is great, the folder system looks so nice, and App drawer will auto highlight your recent used Application.
But, after using so many launcher, i often miss my stock Play launcher, i miss Timescape widget, music widget, FB inside xperia, etc... which i cant get if installed with 3rd party launcher

I'm sticking with the Sony Ericsson default Launcher that comes with the Play.
The reason I don't use any other Launchers is cause it uses some ram memory and I do quite a lot of gaming so I need that extra 10 mb ram.
I don't know if it makes a difference but I just like to keep it that way
Who's with me ?

[Q] CM 7.2 lag in menu

When i operate with menu with Cyanogenmod 7.2 (by Phiexz) then my menu lags. It has to be like that? It isn't smooth.

No.
Set clock speed higher if possible..
Alsouse less background apls, they eat RAM
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

My clock speed is 806Mhz and no background apps are running.

your using the adwlauncher that comes with CM7.2?
try rebooting to recovery and clearing cache?

The stock ADWlauncher that comes with CM is laggy. Try any other launcher like Launcher Pro

Yes, I am using the original launcher. I will try something different then.

Xperia T home launcher not smooth and few lag

I used JB adreno drivers on my arc, and I used Xperia T home launcher. speed of animation is ok when I swipe an desktop page but when I pinched this into floating widget, It wasn't smooth and very lag. What should I do now ?

Is the stock home or Xperia s or gx home smooth?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

I modded with auto rotation
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

yup, when compared with xperia s or gx launcher, the xperia t launcher is laggier especially in swiping between the app drawer. It is weird since that others are saying that the launcher is faster that xperia s launcher.

try the xperia gx or xperia s launcher on your phone. if they're smooth, the issue is probably with the xperia t launcher (as what kaz has mentioned). if the gx or s launchers are laggy as well, the problem lies probably within your phone. try to delete some apps or kill background apps more often or something.

[Q]Trebuchet launch waiting?

If I do hard work with my phone or enter some apps when I press home button.I wait for widgets loading [3or 5 sec] and enter apps list I wait for 3 or 4 sec.it won't happen on my friends s3.why it happen.because of ram or CPU it can happen when 150 Mb free ram and it can won't happen on 50 Mb ram.I think it happen cuz of CPU.how to solve it I just use amop and nova launcher.
Sorry for bad English

thats a problem with most launchers on our phone, some launchers solved by locking the home in memory or caching every this (like launcher 7 or launcher pro). Go Launcher somehow solved this problem without anything. i've been using Go launcher for quiet a while because i have tried many launchers and they all have this. and if you want the ics look you can download a Go launcher theme or customize your own.

You can try using "V6 Supercharger" script.
