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
Weird?!?! I just tried this and I don't have that issue.

That's strange, have you tried different kernels?
are you using a custom launcher?
Launcher to blame, use Nova Launcher so far the smoothest for me.

Yeah I tried pretty much any kernel I could find, I was using Franco but it was making my device very hot (no idea why) so I am now using Fancy

I've tried Nova launcher but I really don't like it, it seems tacky compared to stock launcher. Is there any other alternative launcher that is different perhaps?

There's Apex, GT Launcher Prime, Atom Launcher. What launcher were you using while getting this lag?

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?

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...

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 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......
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
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.
Is the stock launcher not very fluid in its tasks? Switching between menus, settings and apps isn't always smooth. I'm not saying the phone isn't fast but the transition between one thing to another tends to be jerky for me.
Not be anal, just doesn't seem right for a high end device.

Not this again..... there are like 10 other threads asking what is the best ROM/kernel.
Look at all the roms in dev forums and find which one best suites you.

Good! Sorry im a bit snappy im tired . No i think hes planning to release somewhere else, modaco probably. Yeah i saw this aswell, knowing him he will have a fix though, it may even be an option in CM9 to have tablet UI or not
phone is not finished yet.. it was released so soon only because of MWC in Barcelona. Give it few weeks and phone will be probably best on market (fck i hate samsung)

This is interesting. I am still stock but this is the smoothest Sense out of the box for me.
Are you rooted? If yes, did you port stuff from your phone? This would create problems especially switching from another version of Android.
If you aren't, it could be stuff that you have installed also.
Just a guess.
Could you specify where you get lags? I didn't really notice any lags. There are slight delays sometime (for example when you open the clock (defaults to world time, which sucks)) but that's to be expected. Other than that it seems very smooth to me.
You can download Apex or Nova Launcher from Play store and you don't have to have root. I prefer Apex because it just fels more smooth and has more options. And who thinks that Sense is not lagging should give Apex a try and than compare yourself
By the way Sense gets disabled by itself if you set Apex as default launcher. That's a 100 MB pure win on RAM.
Just by scrolling between homescreens, i only have clock/weather widget and contacts widget and calendar widget + some icons on my homescreens. Sometimes it runs totally smooth, and sometimes it lags when scrolling to the next screen.

I have gone from 2.1 to 4.0, in between using all kinds of launcher.
It's true in the earlier version the difference can be quite obvious. But I don't think so for 4.0. Sense may be slower, may be not. It is no longer obvious.
But I don't use fancy background, just a static picture. And I always turn off animation.
The OP is talking about smoothness and not response which I agree that sometimes sense causes some delay. But that split ms is harmless to me. I am not going anywhere in that time span anyway. But for the OP to notice such a difference is abnormal.
Apex launcher made me love and buy the device again lol
Sense fan since the early days, but not 4.0 i don't like the taste or will tolerate the lagginess on a quad core hot chip

With all due respect how can you honestly be okay with a half-baked phone? I am a galaxy SII owner and I've had my HTC one X for one day. I love the phone but sense still appears to be more of a memory hog and hindrance than anything else.
I know lots of people who are happy with SGSII's because the software largely functions as its supposed too (I still put vanilla ROM on it because touchwhizz is ugly) but I am already experiencing my htc rebooting the launcher everytime I press home after opening a few apps.. I also noticed that something like 650mb of the 1gb ram is being used when I turn the phone on... Sense is seriously a memory hog. Multitasking doesn't appear to be functioning how I'm used to on the S2. HTC should make sure they iron out kinks like this before they rush to market, after-all their USP is the software...
Even before I received my HTC one X i was reading weekly about bugs and problems people were having with it, which unnerved me a bit.
Thing is, I actually like some elements of sense and it's a vast improvement from my desire but the fact is I can see sense really dragging the performance down over the life of the handset. Even if I use Apex launcher, sense's launcher still drains memory.. I'm removing sense asap

make sure you tick the correct settings. there is no lag with the H1X. Believe me, see my other posts if you need further instructions

What do i have to do to make it not lag without rooting ?
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

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.
