Hi so I know that if we use an app that takes a lot of memory right before going to the home screen, it redraws (for alt. launchers mostly). ive fixed THAT problem but I have a phone that has a portrait qwerty slider and even though it doesnt need to change orientation, the homescreen redraws and so it takes a good 10 secs until its ready any way to fix this?

Hey, guys! I've just been wondering if any of you other guys have been getting the same odd behavior as me with the latest stock ATT FUZE ROM.
It deals with the phone display switching between portrait and landscape orientation when you flip out the keyboard. For some reason, the Windows taskbar appears every time I flick out the keyboard to type something while using full screen apps such as YouTube. It irritates me because all the other ROMs I've tried don't exhibit this issue. I can make it disappear by tapping the Start menu and exiting it, but having to do that every time I flick the keyboard out and flicking it back in is quite annoying. I was wondering if any of you know how I could disable this behavior.
It appears that any orientation switching without flicking out the keyboard (ex. Opera rotating using the accelerometer) doesn't make the taskbar pop out, but switching between portrait and landscape with the keyboard always triggers the taskbar to pop out in full screen apps. Again, it's easy enough to just tap the Start menu and exit out again to make the taskbar disappear, but I would LOVE to just have it not appear altogether, like all the other builds of WM that I've been using.
Anyone out there that can duplicate the issue I'm having? Furthermorem anyone know how I can remove the behavior?
With stock ICS, I am bad at typing messages with the vertical keyboard, so I always have to turn it first so that the large keyboard appears (and sometimes it takes a while for it to register). I was wondering if there is a setting for it to automatically always select the horizontal way whenever possible...or perhaps there is an app out there or a way for it to register much faster.
Use holo launcher hd plus or any launcher in the launcher settings there is always an option default orientation change it to landscape then u can have a permanent landscape view not sure abt the option being there in touchwiz havent used it in a long time

I use Set Orientation from gPlay, allows you to set (and force any app into, even it doesn't want to support) the orientation you want directly from the notification area.
Maybe that'll help you too.
Hey,
I've been playing around with my Z2 now for around two weeks and It's all good excluding the screen digitizer reflections that are visible in bright lights.
Anyway, to the point. The home launcher seems to be rotating only when connected to the docking station and not while in hand. I heard that there are mods or apps that make it auto rotate when holding in hand too, but some how i couldn't find any proper apps for the 4.4.2 launcher.
Other thing that is bothering me a bit is the responsiveness of the launcher. When i press the home button it takes like a second to respond (actually show the launcher). Same goes with the open apps button. Takes a while to open. I wonder if this is a software issue Sony is going to fix or not.
I don't see any real reason why it takes so long for the home launcher to open since switching from other apps to apps is instant.
I get this randomly. It seems to happen the most when I have SwiftKey open and it always happens when I search within the app drawer. I switched launchers (tried lawn chair and rootless pixel) and I see the same thing.
The buttons are there, I can click them but they just vanish and it looks horrible.
Pic attached.
I guess I should also say that enabling full screen gestures works around this but that has its own set of problems for me, namely that I keep missing the space bar when using the keyboard and that the back gesture doesn't scale up from the keyboard so I keep going back when swiping.
Edit: I've confirmed that the problem is Swiftkey. The default Google keyboard doesn't have this problem but it isn't nearly as good. It'll do for now I guess...
I have the same issue. I tried installing navbar apps, but it doesn't work. Is there any way to set gboard to add a space automatically after a period or a comma? One of the many tine differences I prefer SwiftKey over Gboard, but this navbar bug is making me make the switch.
Ive been having this problem for about a month or so but the actual UI is very laggy. Its very noticeable on my home page. When i swipe accross it doesnt swipe smooth and instead becomes laggy with slow animations. Sometimes its smooth like in working order and alot of the times laggy. When i open a app and use it for a second or so the lag disappears from the home screen. Another issue is apps randomly moving or disappearing
Help is appreciated thanks
