Instant Fix for Launcher Stutter - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

If you're on AOKP (possibly other ROMs...haven't used them), you have the option in ROM Control > Navigation bar > Button glow animation to turn off the receding glow animation on the navigation buttons. With the glow turned off you can scroll to a far home screen, hit home, and watch the animation smoothly slide you back to the center screen. It also fixes the stutter in the animation when leaving the app drawer and may improve the speed of the multitask button (I think it does, but that might be placebo). One last fix I've noticed is going back between graphics-intensive screens in apps such as in the Market seems much smoother than it is with the glow enabled.
For those concerned about losing the feedback that the glow provides, the bottons will still flash blue when pressed; all that changes when you remove the animation is the receding glow.

This was already known like weeks ago and AOKP is the only ROM you can do that on.

works but weird how entering the app drawer is slower than exiting it

I still see complaints about it scattered about various forums so I don't think the knowledge is as common as you seem to think it is. Thanks for clearing up the other ROMs question though.

People need to use the search function that's why!
Its a common issue on XDA, clutter.

Laggy accelerometer?

Sometimes my screen rotate when in browser or an app that supports rotation the accelerometer lags behind a bit
Anyone else had this ?

It has to do with the animation speed mostly. You can adjust that in developer options.
I have them all off.

I'm pretty surprised to see people saying that they have not experienced it. It's one of the worst bugs with the phone and lots of people are experiencing it:

I'm on 4.0.3. Maybe that is why.
yeah I know that problem. experienced it mainly allot in the browser

If you need to tap the phone to get the accelerometer to work, then it's probably faulty and you should ask fro an exchange/repair.
But if you are just experiencing a small delay, that's apparently a feature in ICS to prevent accidental rotation. At first I found it incredibly annoying but it actually works in preventing unwanted rotations.
Galaxy Nexus CDMA stock 4.02 here. It has definitely been a problem for me. It takes a good 2+3 full seconds to rotate for me. Lucky for me i spend 90% of my time in portrait.
VZW GN and yeah I got the same thing. Its really annoying but I cant tell if its more or less annoying than having the screen accidentally rotate...
Either way this should be something we can control in the developer options, like give us a time delay before screen will rotate.

Opening the app drawer lag

Hey guys, something has really bothered me lately. The whole OS is so smooth and all, but everytime I leave an app or leave the app drawer then opening it again has a very nasty lag that is a very big turn off. I searched for this issue and saw that I wasnt the only one who had this problem.
Here is the same lag on the Nexus 7:
http://youtu.be/cK8n54YiabE?t=4m55s
and on the Galaxy Nexus:
http://youtu.be/qN3EXAFRxKQ?t=4m23s
Could anyone tell me how to why this issue is found on Jelly Bean and how to fix it? I'm on stock 4.1.1 btw.
get apex launcher and turn off the app drawer fly in animation.
i noticed this too,but only in the first page of the app drawer...

Dude, how can you even count that as lag? I run Ubuntu 12 on my laptop and it lags like ****. I run Windows 7 on a high-end desktop.. it lags like **** sometimes. There is seriously about 0.1ms of lag there, get over it.
Does it bother you that it takes several seconds for your web browser to open XDA? "Damnit, this bothers me!!! The interwebz LAGS!!!"
At first I thought you were running ics which does have lag, then I saw the nexus 7 video. I watched it and started laughing my ass off, there's not even a slight bit of lag in that. And my device doesn't lag neither.

Maybe my eyes are lagging, I missed it.
I can't believe people are so obsessed with micro lag that is not even visible to 80% of people. Suck it up already, no need to tell the whole world about how your app drawer launches 0.1 mill second slower. Its not the end of the world.

Yes, but not when opening the drawer, but switching to the next page.
And I wouldn't call it laggy, it just reacts with delay to the swipe. The swipe itself is perfectly smooth.
SMH.
I saw it!
Oh, no wait, I didn't. You crazy, bro.
Have you tried setting window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale in settings --> developer settings to 0.5x or 0x at all?
I know exactly what you're talking about, so don't worry about everyone else. Unfortunately I don't have a fix for it either.

Even that lag is nonexistent if you wait a split second to scroll after opening the drawer. It's called the launcher has to populate the apps and widgets on first launch/scroll. If you launch the drawer and go for the first scroll "as fast as you possibly can" then you're just purposely looking for a microsecond of lag to complain about.

[Q] Jellybean 4.1.1 Status Bar and Navy Bar burn ins?

OK, so ever since I've been using the stock ROM for jellybean, I've been noticing a burn-in on the screen when I view media, play games, or anything that hides the two. I've never seen this happen on any other Android OS. I was wondering if maybe you guys had the sane problem and some way to fix it because its getting really annoying. I was thinking about it and maybe its because of the new Project Butter and how the display updates a lot and since the status bar and Nav bar never really change their position on the screen it would cause a burn in. So, I was wondering if you guys have a fix for this? Thanks in advance

There are so many threads on burn in I am not sure where to start...
Some people have experienced what you are calling burn in and others like me have not noticed it at all. You could try getting a screen wipe app and see if that clears it up.

PSA: Fix for slow Google Now (YMMV)

Google Now was very slow on my Galaxy Nexus, I've tried everything. Today I was playing around with custom launchers and dpi settings and voila I found a fix. It works for me but hopefully it should work for you. If you are using a custom launcher, make sure "Persistent Search Bar" is set to always. I've disabled this since the ICS days as I've only wanted a search bar on one screen, so I assume a lot of you have as well.
I set this to on and Google Now is flying. Almost instant.
hmmmm interesting....i din think that would b the reason...thx
I see no reason that would have any affect on Google Now.
I was surprised at first too. I spread this fix on a different forum and about 20 people or so have confirmed that it made a difference for them.

That makes sense it keeps Google search in the back ground. Google now is Google Search
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Correction. Doesn't affect Google now. I m on rasbean. G.now used to load in about 1.5 sec,still takes the same time. If I keep g.now off,search loaded in 0.5s from swipe up. Same with this.
THIS. IS. NEXUS.
I'm running Liquid JB with Nova Launcher.
I did noticed the HUGE slow down, as it would almost take a good 10-15 seconds for GN to fully load up.. And even then the voice search was horribly slow.
Just tired this little tidbit and it works like a charm now.
Yeah, dingokevin's got the right idea.
Having the "persistent search bar" basically keeps the QuickSearchBox.apk in the background memory. Google Now is run off of that same .apk, so it is also run in the background. The search bar in the launcher is an app that has to be called by the launcher, and thus keeping the search bar keeps Google Now.
Unfortunately, I'd like to find a way to do this without the search bar. I feel it ruins the look of the desktop.
Great find! I've been battling this problem for a long time. I'm using paranoid android running nova launcher. Thanks!!! This fix should be stickied!!

Honestly.....

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am
