Stock launcher freezing sometimes - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I am un-rooted and have keep my N7 2 stock since I have had it. A few weeks ago I decided to try the free version of the Nova launcher. I decided to stay with the stock one after several days of trying it out, and thus uninstalled Nova from the settings app list.
Now on occasion the stock launcher freezes after swiping home screens back and forth...or exiting an app....or like things. Usually it just freezes and after 10 seconds or so it unfreezes. Sometimes I get a warning that the launcher stopped responding with the "quit/wait/cancel" popup.
So it seems installing and then a few days later uninstalling the Nova launcher has left some fragments or affected the stock launcher process.
Is there some sort of app/system clean up I can do without doing the system reset? I do not want to loose app settings.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have the freezing issue even when I DID NOT install Nova.
It's a known problem this freezing thing.

[Q] Resourse issue?

my question is sort of two part: when I return to the launcher (Trebuchet) from an app, almost always I return to a screen with no icons and just the wallpaper. After a second or two, the icons reload and everything appears normal for that screen. Is this because I have too many apps running and Trebuchet is running out of ram?
second part to the question is that if an app is running, and it pretty much doesn't matter what app I'm running, and the screen times out and goes dark, almost always the app that was running stops running and I'm returned to the desktop when I push the wake button. This is a fairly recent issue - anyone have any ideas?
I'm running CM10.1.3-RC2-toro.

Delay when closing apps?

I have been having this minor problem that when I don't use a web-based app like Chrome for a couple hours, there will be a clear delay when closing Chrome. So basically, I don't open chrome for a couple hours, I launch it and it has to reload back into memory, and then when I go to close Chrome, there is a pretty bad delay between when I press the home button and when the animation starts. This also happens when using websites through the Google search bar at the bottom of the launcher. I am using the pixel launcher, on 8.1 stock with root, no kernel or TWRP, no themes. This did also happen with 8.0, and because it is still bothering me, I figured I'd bring it up. Is anyone having this problem too?

Slow Recent apps popup

I re-imaged the phone with the latest (Oct '19) Factory Image.
Cleared cache of every single app.
Force stopped most of the non-system apps.
Turned off all animations in the Developer Mode.
When I open a several (less than 5) apps and try to switch between them, it freezes for a few seconds when I click on one of them.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue?
How long since you flashed?
My phone usually takes about a day to level out after clean flash.
Was your flash clean with a wipe?
I flashed my phone on Friday with -w. Started noticing a day or two after that and the lag hasn't gone away (once I clear cache for each app, lag doesn't exist for a (very) small amount of time, but after that, the long lag issue creeps up again).

Did you restore from titanium?
Were you coming from Pie when you plashed 10?

I came from Oreo and flashed it using the Oct 2019 factory image.
Good news is that the issue is resolved. The fault is with the 3rd party launcher (Goog needs to provide support for 3rd party launcher). Switching back to Pixel launcher fixed the issue.
Thank you for your feedback.

After Beta 3 update recents no longer works

Was on open beta 2 no issues using nova prime launcher also with no issues. Went to open beta 3 now recents no longer work and even the home launcher will not load, it just crashes only nova works but without recents. Also not seeing crashing in settings when doing things like change wallpaper. Anyone else having this? Or know a solution short of downgrading and reinstalling everything again.
Weird mine works fine

Working fine here on beta 3..Cannot tell anything about Nova though as I'm not using it. I can suggest you clear the cache,data of both the launcher apps.. It might help.
Ended up having to do a full reset.
Have been using nova, and I did a dirty install, worked fine for me
something went south, reset got phone up with buttons working but ALOT of app crash freeze, etc, a lot of android errors mentioning timeout issues. About to use the msm tool and go clean from the get go. dropbox wont go past start screen, home camera app works until you view video then shuts down, time to wipe it all I think.

Strangest thing occurred

It first started with doing an update all to all apps in the google play store. I clicked on update all then the google play store crashed. I tried to open the application, but kept saying google play store keeps stopping. I then cleared data and cache from settings and that still didn't work. I then rebooted into Safe mode to see if there where any rogue apps. Found the issue then rebooted. Upon rebooting. My settings all went to default. This included my hex builds being completely wiped, default keyboard was changed to Samsung, wallpapers went to the default, my launcher was set back to ONE UI ( currently use nova ). This really isn't a big issue since it took me less than 5 minutes to bring everything back to normal. Is there any logical reason to why this would happen? Did Safe mode trigger something?
It is the incompatibility between some of the hex build(a) and latest updates. You now know how to recover from such occurence
3rd party launchers
Hyperion boot looped my Note 10+ twice, full reloads.
Prior to that it was less than stable... trashware
The native Samsung launcher is faster and stable than any of the 3rd party launchers I tried including Nova.
One UI is AOK.
No more crashes or boot loops... no more 3rd party launchers for me.
The only thing that annoys me is the white icon lettering. Everything else I can mod with the Good Lock apks and such; stable, low resource usage and the work/look great.

What was the original issue? Without knowing that it is kind of hard to guess what would have caused everything else.

I think it was safe mode that caused the other "problem." I booted my Verizon Note 10+ 5G into safe mode, then rebooted back to normal. I use Microsoft Launcher (Preview) and when it rebooted it was set to OneUI. I opened up Microsoft Launcher and set that as default and everything was back to normal.
Since this is the first time I booted into safe mode on my phone, I can't tell if that is normal or not.
P.S. There were a few other things I had to fix after rebooting into normal mode. It reset the defaults to a few other things like the default browser and dialer.
