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.
I have an issue with wallpaper scrolling on every ROM I flash on my device. When using Nova launcher the wallpaper scrolling will work for a small period of time, but then it will randomly stop working and restarting the launcher / device does not fix the issue. Any ideas on what might be the issue? I'm currently on Jedi Mind Trick JB
i have an odd issue which I couldnt find anything on. Since updating to MOAR v7 and using touchwiz 5x6 launcher along with stock launcher, any app I put on my home screen with a name that takes up two lines will show the name cut in half. Im also not able to move an app anyway right above my Launcher dock. It will only go two rows up.
Any ideas to the problem/
I am trying to finish phone setup, its a Note 3 unlocked from att and rooted. Kept having touchwiz problems and found this great launcher but it keeps crashing when trying to add widgets like a clock or sound/mute and others. When I add a widget it comes up 'nova launcher stopped working' and any earlier widgets added are corrupted or messed up.
Really want to stay with Nova prime as the grid setups are very good. Thanks for any reply.

For some reason I do not see work profile widgets with the default oneUI launcher, however Nova Launcher does. My only reason for not using Nova is because of the cover screen not being able to be separate for the layout. Has anyone found a workaround?
