It's not you, it's the stock launcher it's crap. You could always try a diffrent launcher, I think Go Launcher lets you customise app placement on the applist, but i'm not sure

It's because some of the apps from sd card loads up later when booting up.. don't think there's any solutions unless you put them into internal memory

I actually prefer the stock launcher to the others ( i've tried launcher pro,go launcher and adw) ... But yea the sd card apps being removed is annoying - it happens osmetimes when i connect my phone to the comp ... ended up just putting the small files i need onto dropbox.

I tried the go launcher but its not really my sorta thing it only happens to me when my batt dies which isnt that often, i suppose ill just have to bare with it an maybe there will be a save option eventually so knowone has to deal with it.

I second that. With other phones I have always relied on GO launcher, LPP, SPB Shell or whatever.
Now when I bought my first Xperia I found to my surprise that I love the stock launcher! It looks good and is very smooth so I have found no reason to switch launcher. Has all the functions I need without being bloated like GO launcher for example.
Props to SE for keeping the launcher simple and fast.

my problem when I use Black hybrid 2nd generation

Hi Rio
First of all, thanks for your great job.. and because I still cannot post at development section, so I create this topic.
I just want share my experience after use it for couple hours.
1. I tried for HD games, and it work smoothly.. nice job dude.
2. Nice appearance.
3. But I got big problem, i always find it become very lagging if I run for the first time (sometimes it will be force close) but after reboot, this issue will be gone. Am I the only one who got this issue?
I will use for more days, and I will comeback with some feedback.
Thanks anyway man..

Hello dude.
I'm also facing this problem. what i'm doing is kill all running program with Advance Task Killer or Advanced Task Manager or use the built in task manager. Mostly its work before play the game.
Maybe lag caused by full memory.
CMIMW.

I'm also facing this problem too, and the ways I found to solve it were the same of climbatiz3. I try to free memory using the built-in Task killer application. If it still lagging, reboot. Sometimes happens to freeze my touchscreen too. In that case I just force reboot.

Same problem with me...huft..
Mana nih om rio? Kasi solusi dong...

Try these :
1. Do not restore any apps using TB.
2. In CWM do a Fix Permission.
If you need to restore it back....wipe all system..cache..data folder except ur ext. SD card where you keep this ROM.
Don't forget to do the usual wipe......format cache etc n delvik....
Let us know.....
Sent from my GT-I8150

or maybe can try this method also.
1)restore using TB
2)un-supercharge by delete the script in \etc\initd\
3)flash adrenaline v3.0(not 3.1 , but if u have reboot loop,then flash v3.1)
then try again. cause i'm facing same problem with my w(bionic cow2). now it running very very smooth.
try and let the forum know.

I did all the format and wipe .... but still getting some FC after installed some new apps ....... now back to 1st Gen. again

There are lags everytime I try multitask with my music running. The delayed music was exttreeemeeeelylyyyyyy annoyyyyying
Considering to return to gen 1

I flash the blacknote 2nd Gen, no problem encounter.
perharps is because I re-supercharge it?
cause default SUPER UL 125mb free ram is too high, many apps cannot run at background. So you might face some apps always slow to active might due to killed by the LMK so they didn't run at background.
So I re-supercharge into multitasking 75mb free ram, and games and apps run smooth, and multitasking also better off. Everything goes smooth and can't wait for 3rd gen with latest kernel??
(better than sammy default 50mb?? haha)

[Q] Having issues with launchers...

Just got my galaxy s3 today. Been messing with it sense. Unfortunately i've had issues with some launchers and I don't know why. Apex/Nova/Holo have all been giving issues in the terms of putting down Widgets at the home screen. All three will tell me that there isnt enough room on the page for the widget when that same page is completely blank.
Another issue i had was super lagginess. I haven't rooted yet because im still kinda noobish and i dont want to do anything derpy to the phone. And i wanted to give touchwiz at least a little bit of time. Aside from that though ive been installing and un-installing launchers like mad and im still getting a bit of lag from switching between pages for an example. Ive got scroll effects turned off and speed nearly all the way up (or low in Apex i think) and its still feeling sluggish.
Was wondering what recomendations you guys could give. Like i said i want to stay stock for a bit...at least until cm comes out

When you reboot the phone, do you get the prompt that asks you what program you want to use (for the launcher)? Select your desired launcher, and press Always.

Yea I get that option and ive placed it for my holo launcher but for whatever reason apex and nova were giving me issues like lag and starting to fc things. Was just curious if any one knewbl what was up. Any good launches you would recommend?

Don't quote me on this but I believe you have to make launchers a system app if you want widgets to work correctly.
At least, that's what I heard. I could be wrong.
Its worth a try?

I use nova on my phone and tab and have no issues. Might want to try and do a full wipe and start from scratch

Yep, full wipe is my suggestion as well.

Going to ask something slightly noobish but how do I make one of the launchers a system app? Im still stock at the moment so im trying to figure out whats going on.
I did a full wipe just now and its sill giving me issues that there isnt enough room on the page for the upload of the widget. All im trying to do is upload a stock digital clock widget and its giving me issues in both apex and holo. Is it because they might be touchwiz widgets and the launchers aren't recognizing them? I dont know if that could be the issue but like I said im still stock. Now that i look at it though I may have to root my phone sooner than I wanted. Been on battery for three hours and im already discharged at 51% grr..:crying:

Q: I can't add widgets to my homescreen from the Widgets tab of the drawer. Help!
A: In order to use the in-drawer widgets feature, you have to either enable the Root Helper from advanced settings or install Apex Launcher as a system app (instructions below), both of which require root on your device. This is due to limitations of the Android framework, so there is no way we could change this requirement. If you have just installed it as a system app and still cannot add widgets from the drawer, please reboot your device and try again. If you do not have root access, you may still add widgets from the system widget picker. Just long press on the homescreen and choose "Widgets" from the popup list.

[Q] Anyone else notice some lag after the first few days? need help if you have!

So i've only had the phone for a few days and started noticing lag mainly in the settings yesterday.
It was buttery smooth the first few days until yesterday. I'll try to create a clear description of what is happening.
Everything in terms of hitting applications, sliding/switching pages, and browsers seems smooth but I'm getting doubts since settings have started lagging. So as of now, the settings menu is where I really notice the problem. What happens is I would press any of the choices such as display, sound, storage, etc and it would light up blue as a sign that I pressed it. Basically, the blue lighting stutters/lags as it turns into a deeper color and fades away proving that there is some lag. That itself is very irritating on such a powerful phone. The page also lags a bit as it's opening so it's obvious that it does lag. I don't understand why something as simple as settings might be causing this?
have any of you guys noticed this? I tried clearing ram, restarting phone, messing with dev options by changing animation and something else to .5x while enabling "force GPU rendering." I'm running stock touchwiz on baseband T889UVALJ1 if that helps. Keep in mind i'm not really tech savvy so try to suggest things in an easy to understand way please.
Any help is greatly appreciated and I hope you guys can help me fix my problem!

Been using it for the past 1 month plus and I do not have any lagging issues. I am on stock rom as well.

No lag either, been using the Note 2 for 2 months now. Check your apps with BetterBatteryStatts (too many backgroundservices runing).

No lag either. Did u install some crappy apps that run backstage

Thanks for the replies so far and before I spend some money on apps or what not, is there any way I can post a 5 second animation of what is happening? Kind of like a 5 second gif of my screen? A mix of a screenshot and video so like a screen vid? Are there are any apps that can do that(preferably free). I'll try to find an app that can do that in the meantime and will edit if I find something useful.
Edit: No idea what this is or how it ended up on my phone but could this be the culprit? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgrape.android.radar
People say it's bloatware and s-suggest from samsung but i'm not sure why it would be shown as an app on the play store website

I have noticed the phone can lag a bit if you have a heavy live wallpaper running.
Just sharing my thoughts on this

did you modify anything? no lags on my N2.

normally i'd say if you leave your phone on for a few days in a row, clear the memory every once in a while (press and hold home, go task manager, ram tab, clear memory) or reboot it, just so you dont have anything residual in your ram.
when android sees that you have 2gb of ram, it doesnt auto kill as many apps as it would if you were to have only 1gb of ram (my note 1 autokilled sooooooo frequently that it was annoying), so your ram ends up getting filled with some apps that you only used once in a while.

I wrote that I tried clearing ram and restarting phone but it didn't help. Thanks for trying though

Yeah, I get a bit of lag here and there, specially if I haven't cleared running/background apps in a while.
I just do it from the task manager, and also check out what apps are using the most battery, and possibly therefore are some of the likely culprits.
I actually use this app called Carat, which is an "Energy bug detector app" (whatever that means), but it helps identify apps that are draining the battery, and incidentally, partially contributing to the lag.
Also obvious thing like live wallpapers or touchwiz in general (including all the 'special' Samsung features like smart rotate, smart stay, smart motion) probably add to it to. Nova launcher and a static wallpaper might help.

I'll try to post a video sometime soon showing the lag. It's not serious lag, but it does stutter and lag a decent amount compared to my first few days which is what sucks.

Make sure that power saving is turned totally off in settings to avoid UI lag.

Yeah that was one of the first things I tried, didn't help.

This happen to me..If surf net lag this could help..check your network setting.
if your SIM card is 3G,set it to "GSM/WCDMA AUTO MODE" instead of LTE..
Hope it help

Well I have a T-mobile Galaxy note II. It should be the 4g LTE variant but lte is not available yet. I think it is the n7105
Under the settings, I only have gsm/wcdma, gsm only, and wcdma only.
I'm not sure what I have to do

You can try enabling Force GPU rendering in developers options. That usually helps with that, or at least it seemed to in my case. Report back if it actually helped

quick update:
I found a vid and my lag basically looks like this http://youtu.be/0qyijcTeHcU?t=2m27s
Look at when he clicks on display, there is clearly some lag even if it is half a second - 1 second. I'm almost certain that my lag is even worse than that, but not by too much. It's just a pain in the ass after the first few days. Would flashing a custom rom like jedi X 7.2 help out with this since it's running a bravia engine?

Text Messing is lagging???

Hello all been a min since I've posted last, but here goes. My text messaging is the only "app" that lags when I use it. Every other app is running fine and is smooth to navigate through. When I goto text someone it starts lagging and is behind quite abit. Itl take sometimes 5 6 seconds to type the word I just swiped. It is the stock messaging app and I have already ran it into safe mode. It does not lag nearly as much there and is pretty fluent. I can only assume its a bad app or something but idk what it could be. I'm rooted stock and every mod I have came from drippler like the multi tasking so I can have every app in the multi tasker, I have xposed frame work titanium back up, Nova launcher and some others. Whats my best hing to do here?

You might have too many messages. Try deleting messages.

try backing up the data for your messaging app with TiBu then going into your system settings and clearing the data for your messaging app. how long have you had the issue. was it like that when you bought it? after you rooted it? after using some of drippler's tweaks?
always post as much info as possible when asking for help.

Thanks guys and no its has just been happening in the last 2 months maybe 3 it wasn't doing it after I rooted, I slowly started to notice the decline in performance after a couple of the tweaks from drippler. I've uninstalled a few apps and cleared cache but not for messaging. I need to back the data up like you said. Ill try that. it will not delete my txts I have saved will it? They are very very important to me and can be used in court so its that kind of importance lol. Ole baby momma drama. Thanks again guys. This forum s always so helpful.
