Hi, I recently noticed big slowdown in built in task manager. I have to wait about 15 seconds before it kills process/opens/closes. Also I noticed that it consumes about 10%of battery. Anyone had such problem?
EDIT: It feels like it's because of ADW Launcher Ex... Anyone can install, use it for a while and confirm it?
Yes I can confirm the same behaviour, after not seeing anyone else report it - I thought it was just me.
Recently I was so fed up with Task Manager almost locking up my tab that I completely wiped it and put Overcome ROM on there, I haven't experienced it since however from reading your post I just realised that it was ADW Launcher all along, that's the only thing I haven't reinstalled since the wipe.
Good find.

I've found temporary "fix" for it. Just frozen task closer in titatnium bakup, and I'm using Advanced Task Killer now. but I hope that developer will fix it, I've already send him an email.
I only have this issue with the task killer widget so I don't use it. Longpressing home or swiping the tqsk bar works just fine for me with adw EX.

If you had that many on your G1, to be fair they weren't on the phone... they were on your EXT partition of your sd.
Also, the Vibrant has more than enough memory, so that is not the problem.
what launcher are you using? Using a task killer? what else are you doing?
Mine is ultra zippy... no TK, using ADW EX. You are not restoring system apps, or apps that were included in the rom are you?

You have to keep track of how many of your apps run in the background, use background data, or both.
not everyone needs a task killer, but generally speaking, people who have large amounts of apps are eventually going to need one. Only because, statistically i would guess probably 30% or so of the third party apps you have installed stay running in the background. therefore, potentially slowing down your phone by chewing up RAM, while also consuming more battery.
when it comes down to it, this is a RAM issue, not a memory issue. i have a lot of third party apps as well. a lot of them like to open on there own and try to run in the background.....not happening. I use a healthy combination of a conventional task killer, auto-ram optimizer, and autostarts. it may SOUND like a lot, but each one of those does a specific job that helps me control my apps and what they do.
I have that overstock kernel that has more ram
Let me see how a taskiller does

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I get lag with both ADW EX and the standalone version when I have scrolling of wallpaper enabled. Once I turn that feature off, it goes to be as smooth as LauncherPro. Another problem with ADW EX is that with caching turned off, you get color banding in some widgets (facebook, twittet, etc) - LP handles all widgets fine, no color banding whatsoever. ADW EX on the other hand has lots of themes to offer, I get to choose icons for any of my apps on the go.
I'm gonna try the no wallpaper scrolling so thanks!

4D app drawer is a bit slow compared to Launcher Pro...it speeds up with some use, but overall I prefer the vertical new drawer due to the speed of the 4D option.
Edit: turned off transparency and all is fine
How do oyou turn off transparency
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I had to turn it on, it's off by default...app drawer options -> background color
On color selection screen make sure the bottom slider labeled "alpha" is slid all the way to the right.

Don't use 4D Drawer
I use ADW Launcher without 4d drawer and it works like butter. But 4d drawer needs more resources. I have LG Optimus Net with CyanogenMod 7.2, ES Task Manager and it has a bit to non lag with 4d drawer. Try a newer version of ADW Launcher. Hope it helps
A week or so ago I posted a thread on my phone lagging in and out of the text app. I decided to try go sms. It seemed to be better but not completely gone. Also Ive noticed that when I would go into my contacts and select one the name would pop up but not have any info. I switched to Go contacts and the problem went away. So i thought id give GO launcher a try. WOW is all can say. Id been a LP guy for a long time. This blows it away. My phone actually feels like it got supercharged. if your thinking about trying a new launcher give Go a go!!
So im the only go launcher user?!
Trigger 3.3
I've tried it and got the most part I thought it was nice. The only issues I didn't like was the slower opening transition when using the app drawer and the setup of the app drawer. Other than that, I thought it packed a lot of features.

Hmmm. I thought the opening speed was pretty fast. Plus I like the windmill setting when opening and closing the app drawer.

Hi guys was wondering if there is this app out there that can do the following...
You know when you swipe left or right you go to different windows from the home screen. Is there an app or something that wil allow you to swipe up or down from the homescreen to go to the window to the left x2 or to the right x2. I'm basically trying to find a way to get to my other windows in just 1 swipe as opposed to 2. It might not be much but I would much prefer it that faster if possible.
Anyone know of anything that can do this for me?
I use the "pinch and pick" method. (At least that's what I call it.)
Or hit the Home button twice (or just once if you're already on the Home screen).
That's an interesting idea but I would assume it would have to be built into the launcher you're using. Like home screen replacement Apps have swipe up for this and down for that but I haven't seen them have an option for swipe up for page x.

Try an app called Wave Launcher. It's not exactly what you described as what you're looking for but may be another solution, it's a fantastic app! Here's a link for you:

Go launcher, set it to show previews on swipe up (you can even make it so it only does that when you swipe up on a specific dock icon, too!)

Will that all eat up my battery a lot if I'm running stock everything non-rooted?
I'm really enjoying being non-rooted because surprisingly everything just WORKs. Battery life is great as I can get an entire 12-13 hour day out of it before it goes red.
Also...why Go Launcher? When I use to have it on my old Evo 4g whenever I would press the "home button" it would close Go Launcher and go back to the stock launcher...also...I have to use their own Friend widget (people widget) if you use it right? Or has that changed? When I used Go Launcher before the People widget I use to use from Sense disappears.
I'm completely stock.... Just download Wave Launcher and try it, if you like it then excellent, if you don't then uninstall... It's a free app so you lose nothing trying it. Good luck!

Stock unrooted, too. GO Launcher (like any alternate home app) doesn't allow the use of Sense Widgets but they have an alternative to most of them and the widgets are themeable. Battery usage is no more than usual and if you REALLY wanna squeeze all the juice you can from a charge, check out Juice Defender. And why GO Launcher? It takes the best parts of all the paid launchers (ADW, Launcher Pro, etc), improves on them, adds in even more functionality, offers tons of themes or the ability to create your own, and it's free! I use GO SMS, GO Contacts and GO Dialer, too. The GO Weather is borked though lol dunno why

Hey all, whenever I would open an app from the drawer and then hit back to go to the drawer again, the scrolling would be horrible. I noticed that the lag went away when I deleted my HTC peep app. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if anyone else has had their app drawer become laggy as hell with peep installed.

What ROM are you on? I've use Peep and I've never had any form of lag since I've had the device. I'm on any new SteelROM. It may not be the app, but the ROM. Make a nandroid, install a different ROM, do the same thing you did to make the ROM your on lag, and see if you have the same problem.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. The funny thing is that I used to use Steelrom and that's when I first noticed the lag (peep was kept on that ROM). So when i went to stock everything was fine for a few hours till it lagged again. I noticed that as soon as I deleted peep my lag went away

Okay, so this isn't the worst launcher I've used, I can think of ones I hate more. But I do have an issue with it. My home screen always winds up all weird, or everything disapears off of it after a reboot. The other pages are fine and retain their apps and such just fine. So I can't figure it out. Anyone else have any issues? Yes, I'm rooted, unlocked, running Joker Skinny ROM version 0 (Haven't had time to upgrade yet) with the 1.3 ghz kernel for now.
That sounds really weird. I haven't had any issues with go launcher except that some times i want to go to landscape mode and it won't...but i think that's just my settings...it ain't for everyone, but try uninstalling ,wiping cache/ dalvik before trying to reinstall?

I had a very similar issue with GO Launcher as well. See link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332813
I am rooted and running stock ROM. I performed a factory data reset, removed the battery and all went well. My widgets started loading perfectly. Widget Locker loaded perfectly. It was like nothing was wrong. I know it sounds very simple but it worked for me. Qbking77 pm me back and he said that he experienced some issues with GO Launcher as well.
Hope this helps!

I'm gonna try Launcher Pro and see if I like it better...and as it turns out, there are some trade offs it seems:
1) Max 7 homescreens - You can get 18 in Go Launcher EX (9 screens x 2 sets) I think, but I've never gone past 8
2) Can't uninstall from homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
3) Can't change icon/name of app in homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
4) Less screen to screen animations available - There are about a dozen in Go Launcher
5) Faster than Go Launcher - Though still laggy straight off of lock/screen off
6) 3D app drawer is a nice touch - I almost prefer the side scrolling pages
7) Doesn't seem glitchy - Widgets and apps sometimes would have to be replaced on homescreen in Go Launcher
8) Can't drop multiple apps onto homescreen - Go Launcher can...
I guess if you're all about customizing, Go Launcher might be the way to go...but performance-wise Launcher Pro seems a bit better.
I actually had the best luck with gingerbread launcher.

Wow! I can't believe the problems you're having. I've never experienced any of those. I agree with ktt16 on the universal suggestion. Also delete any widgets created during setup so you start with any empty desktop.

I'm running cybiks CM7 port and I'm using go launcher ex with no problems. I think I did have an issue once while on stock but go launcher got updated and had no problems since. I do know that go launcher had a good update cycle so I wouldn't be surprised if your issue gets fixed in the next app update.

In launcher pro, you can uninstall stuff from the home screen if you hold it over the trash can for a second or two.
