Live wallpaper has been having a lag issue on the stock launcher. Recently, I installed Nova launcher on my GNex and surprisingly the lag is gone and almost every live wallpaper runs smoothly like butter on the Nova launcher!!! NICE!

360 Launcher (translated version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601
Why not make it a poll? That'd be easier to see with more and more people voting.
I use Nova Prime. Sometimes a little laggy, but the fact that I can hide aps plus the gestures control is a huge plus.
nova prime is awesome bt sometimes it reloads the widgets which is a pain...but 360 launcher is one awesome stuff!
Trebuchet & Apex are both nice. Apex causes little bit lag in my Arc, but works great
ok.. i looked for this APEX launcher that ppl recommended and... i can't download him in google play?~~ they said this application is not for my phone?! wtf? i need flash him or what?
do you like apex launcher ?

Trebuchet for me too.
-Trebuchet launcher has a nifty feature: A google search bar that sticks on all screens without wasting any widget space.
-Samsung Touchvis S3 is very smooth on ICS compared with stock.
-Go Ex is also good, lots of niffty extras (but a bug with Xperia bookmark widgets on ICS.
-Apex and Nova almost sama same, nice also but not so smooth scrolling on LT15.
PS. all lauchers can be used with on-screen-button (from 22dpi to 45dpi but the hang-up button will be covered on .431 firmware, so I went to settings in the phone (ICS) and chosed "hang-up with hardware button" and now its GOOD.
Hello, I was planning on changing the launcher on my HOX but all the launchers I've tried seem to be lagging when switching panels on the home screen(jittery animation when switching panels). The launchers I've tried were:
Nova Launcher
Apex Launcher
Go Launcher EX
Holo Launcher
Zeam Launcher
The only launcher that runs smoothly is the stock Sense one but I want a launcher with a scrollable dock! I've googled this and all the results were about lag on the Sense launcher, which I have no problems with. I doubt that my phone's hardware can't handle a launcher. Any ideas as to what causes this problem or a fix?

The HOX has some incredible hardware. So its surely not the hardware.I myself used the pro version of apex launcher for some time and it works smooth. I think you have a lot of background apps running. Disable some background apps.. that will free some memory.

How much RAM do I have to have free for it to run smoothly? I Currently have 300 megabyte free worth of ram and it's still lagging! The only running apps (according to the task manager) are:
Android core apps
Apex launcher
BetterBatteryStats
Battery Widget
Package Access Helper
FlexNet
SmartcardService.
Also, whenever I end the processes of some apps (like settings, dropbox, calendar and some others), they re-open themselves a few minutes later, what's up with that?
Update:
Oh, I doubt that it's memory related, the menu screen switching is super smooth, if it was RAM related it would be affected too
Anyone?
If menu screen is working smoothly then it's an app problem. Try reducing the number of widgets you have kept on each screen and see if that helps.

Funny thing is, there are no widgets on any of the panels, is there by any chance that I have a faulty hardware? (which still sounds kind of impossible since the Sense launcher runs smoothly)
Same here with my HOX+. Sense runs smooth, but there are too many limitations, so I run Apex.
I've only one widget on the screen. I think, it's a Apex problem.
So I updated my note 8 to mc1 (still 4.1.2) and for some reason scrolling wallpapers don't work on nova/apex launcher plus apex launcher runs like Crap stutters, anyone know why this would be?
Really wish I never updated issues like this plus the screen stopping for a sec every now and then, tried update through kies because I was hoping for 4.2 Arrrgh lol serves me right.

Under nova settings go to desktop and wallpaper scrolling and then force. I run nova and have no issues except for the wallpaper scrolling.
Hope this helps.

Just wondering what you guys use as your launcher.
I'm trying to find a launcher which is as smooth as the stock launcher, but the popular ones such as Nova and Apex are not "butter smooth" on my G4. Has anyone found some launchers which run completely smooth like the stock launcher?
Hmm that is weird because I have used nova launcher on stock settings for 2 months already with zero lag and even when I clock my governor to powersave on lowest freq. If you want for sure smoothness and what not then get action launcher 3, for sure it will not fail you.
I have nova Prime, have used Nova for years of phones. The one issue I have with it is no shadow feature on the stock icon them.. You simply can't have a colorful or brighter style wallpaper if you don't have shadows !
Does anyone else use nova launcher and agree/disagree and if not nova, what do you use instead of nova for shadow enabled icons ?
I use Nova..
And honestly I stopped using it as the oneplus home is sufficient for me.
I also have Nova Prime. I mostly use it because I paid for it but I do prefer the look of Nova compared to the OOS Launcher and I like being able to remove the google search bar from the desktop. Also the App Drawer is not to my liking in OOS. I have never worried about shadows for Icons but maybe you could message the Nova Developer and make a request for that feature. Peace
I use Nova Prime for one simple reason. I like the OP3 launcher fine myself, and actually like the shelf widget.. however, if you remove the google search bar, the space can't be used and causes the widgets to sit lower on the screen. No bueno.
Installed Nova and setup and after a couple of performance adjustments, am finding its every bit as speed as OP3 launcher with widgets able to be adjusted as I'd like.
I use Nova Prime but the main reason is the ability to change grid the way i want it and have lots of costumisation. I use Cobalt icons and look great. Have used LG G3, Zenfone 2 and now OP3, and even tried the stock launcher but Nova win all the time... For me is the best launcher in market (there are lots of other lauchers that are also great)
I use nova and use custom icon sets so I don't run into this issue
