Hi ,
I found the stock Home launcher always Restarting after a certain period of time - Obvious Reason being that it ran out of memory.
I then installed Launcher X after trying LauncherPro also - Both of them re-start pretty frequently.
Is there a way to keep the launcher always in memory??? I never had this problem in galaxy S... So wondering it is not a android issue but how SE Xperia OS has been designed.
Tried checking - Keep in memory setting in this Apps - Did not work!
Please help!

I have the same problem... It happens also with GO Launcher EX. I tried everything (v6SuperCharger, changing ROMs, changing Kernels, changing Launchers, adding the line "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" to local.prop and build.prop files and at the end I also changed the location of my GO Launher to system/ apps) and nothing really solved the problem. With changing location of Launcher did the best but it still restarting now and then and it drives me crazy. Did anybody solved this permanently?
Thanks in advance for any advice...
LauncherPro Plus is the solution

Thank you, but I just tried it and it's the same. You do not have that issue with Home Launcher restarts? What Home launcher do you use?
No issues.
LauncherPro Plus with 7 screens and a lot of stuff on them.

I was so happy when I upgraded from a T-Mobile g2, but now I'm thinking it wasn't worth it
Everything was smooth on the g2 even if it was single core at 0.8ghz
When I use apps the scrolling isn't smooth at all, everything's so laggy, especially go launcher which I was using on the g2 without any problems
Do you guys think a future update will fix this?

I think it is a problem with Go Launcher not being updated for ICS..

I would say that there isn't many apps updated for ics yet.....only a few and that's why they don't run smooth....but I would guess that as more and more phones get ics, more and more apps will be updated too......at least that's what I think and hope......

The built in live wallpapers aren't optimized for ICS except phase beam. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of others weren't either. Also.. if you are using a live wallpaper not optimized for ICS.. well there's your problem.
I'd bet, like most, that it hinges on the optimizations for ICS.
Keep in mind, ICS was a HUGE update (maybe not coming from 3.x but y'know) and app-devs have a ways to go before they're using the newer configs on all their apps. It'd be entertaining to see GB ported back over to the GN to see how well it ran.
way back in the days of GB, adw was at the top, but lost its top spot due to lack of updates. But now its updated and i have to say, im impressed. Its not as smooth as nova yet, but i bet that will change in a future update since this is its first major release in forever (plus, if you install v6 supercharger script the lag dissapears). But its performance is so good i can defiantly use this over nova. I particularly like its widget picker, its different in a good way.They have an action bar feature thats new (to me anyway, dont know if theres something like it on other launchers). And theres also a resize screen option thats also neat, especially if your running paranoid android.
Unfortunatly i already found a bug. The dock dissapears into thin air at some point, and the only way to get it back is to reset adw settings. Im still investigating which option causes this bug, but i just thought i would put that out there.
Im also interested in knowing is this update enough for old users to love adw again
I'll just leave this here...

Hey cool, I was always torn between adw ex and launcher pro plus (LPP was a just a bit little smoother) before I got on ICS. Judging from the comments in the play store, it looks like the update ticked a lot of people off and is somewhat buggy, but I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out promptly. Good to see it's not dead

yea it is buggy. the app drawer is a big laggy with any transition and the dock bar likes to vanish, but i still find it useable and i love it. I havent gotten the chance to install v6 supercharger script to see if it helps with the drawer lag (i assume it will, since it did wonders to adw on ics). And im sure it will be updated regularly now, at least i hope it does.
Got the update this morning. Bought EX version a while ago. Tried it and yeah, new version is a little buggy. Hopefully they'll get it right.
I was using it on GB and JB builds up to FI03 then it got goofy. Had to switch to Nova.
Hopefully they can get it working right.

To fix the disappearing dock just simply go into settings and disable the secondary dock or its called hidden dock I think... then you'll be good to go..however u make it disappear is beyond me but I remember having this issue in the evo
I don't see options for he second dock..installed do like it.. but
Don't see the option

Was my launcher of choice on GB and below. When ICS launchers came out I started using those but they never allowed me the amount of customization I wanted, not until recently have they finally caught up.
Now that ADW is back, it is my main launcher again. It allows me so much customization and since I change screens and setups alot it's perfect for me.
It's very buggy. Since the update my widgets keep disappearing at random times, and my settings revert back. It's frustrating.
Hello all.
I have my Xperia S for one month now and I am becoming more and more frustrated with the frequent lags and slowness of the system in general.
On the same day I bought it, I discovered that I was with a locked bootloader and from then on, despite my attempts to improve the system by rooting and trying several Roms I am about to give up hope.
I am now with KA25 ROM but already tried XZXperience 2 and Turbo ROM. From all of these I must say that sooner or later the system becomes laggy and starts to have strangely large access times to some actions or apps.
I notice this in the contacts app a lot, in the messaging app, on the in-call and after call screens, slow loading times while performing normal tasks, like in the album scrolling and accessing images, hiccups and annoying sounds within the Walkman app. Don't know where to even start or stop.
Sometimes I feel that it must be something related to ICS but I would like to have your opinion on these issues.
Also, I am having thoughts about going back to basics and just factory reset the whole phone. Would this clean all of the "debris" the rooting and appliance of several Roms could have done to the phone?
How would I do this? Just flashing with flashtool a clean stock image?
Any advice or any second thoughts, or even the sharing of similar experiences would be great and I would be grateful.
Looking to hear from you soon.

Thanks for the feedback. When you mention tweaks what do you precisely mean? Because I have tried some tools like Pimp my ROM which state to have entropy generators and other speed tweaks but up until now it is pretty much of the same...
However I must agree that waiting for Jelly Bean is the most straightforward solution however I am surprised that a good device like Xperia S has this difficulty dealing with ICS or any usual tasks.
I came from an HTC Sensation XE and with ICS ROMS these issues were not so frequent.
However and I must address this in the topic I have been restoring the apps from ROM manager when changing ROM. Would this have any influence in the short term to the system stability and general speed?
Many thanks.

Thats it now you will have a very smooth rom.Not to mention you can always install the sony widgets for this launcher

Yup entropy works but the zip i mentioned to you doesn't clashes with the rgnd files in snapdragon devices.Also it generates entropy as per device requirement & not high or all the time

Thanks for the clarification. Nice to understand these things.
Regarding your advices I am only having trouble with Mr. Nice Guy app as it is a paid one and reviews are not very convincing.
However I am having up until now a very smoother experience, nevertheless I am considering changing the launcher as this one is not allowing any changes with the icons and also my favourite widget (Walkman) still does not appear.
Any advices?

Hey guys, im not sure if this has been discussed before and I have googled the issue but no one has seemed to have pointed it out.
I am currently using ATOM rom on my GSM Maguro Galaxy Nexus and I have noticed a slight delay when flicking from page to page on my apps but it only happens upon opening the app drawer... I'm not sure if explaining it in words is the right thing but its the best I can do without recording the problem with a camera as I do not have a separate recording device to do so.
I'll go into more detail however, say for example I open my app drawer and I immediately swipe across to show more of my apps, there is a 1 second delay before it decides to acknowledge what I have done. Does anyone else have this issue?
Also I would like to point out that it is not the custom roms fault as it does this on every rom I have used, including stock rom.
Its not a huge deal of a problem but it is quite annoying as sometimes i'll swipe again and end up on the widgets page of my phone because I think my phone hasn't registered my finger correctly.
Thanks for reading guys

I was using Stock launcher, i've tried all of them launchers and they're all nice but just don't feel 'right'. I'm so picky . The ROM I am now using (installed last night) is Android Revolution HD and it seems to have solved at least a little bit of this delay which is strange because last time I had this rom installed I remember the lag still being there. I can also recall that 4.1.2 and below didn't have this random delay but 4.2.2 does?
I have tried changing the font on Android 4.3 via Rom Toolbox and I just get stuck in a bootloop. Is it happening to anyone else? Is there a new Method to Installing Fonts on 4.3 as Opposed to 4.2.2 cause I never got bootloops using it.
Also, I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.2
Thanks in Advance.
This is a great question actually, made me forget to change mine as well. I believe they can be pushed into system, I'll double check and post back!
