Hi, I really need some help now, I tried every launcher but I always seem to get FCs over time. Does anybody know what seems to be the problem?

The problem is that your phone sometimes runs out of memory so it closes the launcher to make up for it. What launcher are you using?
when i check my free RAM, i always see more than a hundred.. I actually tried ADW, ADW Ex, Launcher Pro Plus, and Go Launcher EX.. all the same.. it just randomly hangs up and FC..
EDIT: I think I solved the problem. Probably because of the script conflict. hehe I had Lagfree and at the same time the SDcardSpeedFix. I just deleted the SDcardSpeedFix. My phone became fast (I guess).
You are on custom or stock rom????

Have you updated to 1.5.1, and if so, are you sure the issue is with ADW and not another app you have installed as you say it lags without it as well?
Yea bt i dnt knw which app is causing so much lags. ;(

Yup, chances are it's not ADW causing the lag...
In fact I'd be willing to say it is definitely not ADW. Throwing away your box of tissues isn't going to make your cold go away...
Review what you installed recently... 1st step would be to remove the porn streaming app. I know it's a necessity, but it's also a likely candidate.

Hey guys
I've noticed if I'm in an app for a while and hit the home screen or go back to the launcher it refreshes. I see a blank screen (wallpaper only) and I can see the icons and dock get redrawn. I've had the galaxy note before this and that phone never did it. It takes between 2 and 3 seconds to redraw.
It happens with other launchers too.
Anyone know why? It's quite annoying.

Confirming. Maybe a software issue.

My best guess would be that the system is low on resources and kills off the launcher. The launcher's OOM value might be too high.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
So best hope at this stage is a custom Rom which addresses the issue??
Sent from my GT-I9300T using XDA
Yeah, some sort of "keep launcher in memory" would be nice to have. We won't get this until we get better custom roms though.

This post solved the problem for me. Haven't had the Launcher reload since (Requires Root):

Try using Apex as that has a "keep in memory" option, Im on Omega v3.0 aswel which I advise all of you to do!
Good luck guys
Post to confirm im facing the same issue

Does anyone know if the Custom ROM 'Omega v4.0' for the Galaxy S3 has the option (like Apex Launcher) to KEEP IN MEMORY..?
The ONE and ONLY reason i want to change ROMs is because my homescreen widgets and icons are CONSTANTLY re-drawing whenever i exit an app, and its WINDING ME UP!
Does the same for any other launcher!!
Apex launcher (whilst kept in memory) seems to be better, but i would prefer the stock launcher so was thinking of changing to the Omega ROM.
Can the Omega v4.0 ROM be 'KEPT IN MEMORY'..?
No, it does not include a keep in memory function. You could try the SuperCharger script though to make your launcher hard to kill.

This works for me.........
Faster home screen scrolling; change value 256m > 128m ;
dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m
Force launcher to stay in memory; add to build.prop
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
Doubt it's placebo, but seems to be working Very little redraw with TW Launcher
Edit: Just make sure you still have ONE clear space as the last line after editing with the in-phone text editor and reboot for changes to stick.

Made these changes, been going for half hour so far and FINALLY noticing a difference! Time will tell obviously but for once things like exiting the Market (Play Store) arent making my launcher need to re-draw widgets and icons!

No problem at all.
Credit though to whoever first discovered the tweak, just sharing and trying to help out. I've previously cooked these tweaks (and others) into personal ROMs, and also found in allot of custom public released ROMs I've flashed on various devices here in XDA.
I don't think its placebo, and can see greatly reduced TW Launcher redraw. Clock/weather widget is much better.

I started a thread based on this tweak and later came to know that those build. Prop tweaks won't work on ics and hence deleted the thread. Personally I felt the redraw reduced to some extent,may be a placebo effect

Personally only tested with TW launcher. Seems to do a better job than without, but not always.
Were you using with TW or market launcher?
Secondly, did you use capitals (where required) and reboot after?
Placebo, who knows, all I can say it appears to lessen redraw on TW, never implied eliminate.

Confirming I also have this issue.
I've read some people saying the new firmware update should fix this issue. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
If not, then I will probably have to look into rooting my phone, getting a bit tired of freeing up RAM every 1½ day.
Perm solution is to increase the ram
That should be the reason why they increase the RAM from 1GB to 2GB
I will be doing it as soon as i can source the 2GB RAM from eBay.
Anyone know this?
1. firware upgrade does not fix this issue
2. if this doesn't happen on the S2 then there is no way this is a ram related issue. it's a software related issue maybe not managing ram correctly. but it can be fixed with a software solution.
Is anyone else experiencing the Touchwiz launcher rebooting after being in an app and coming out if it for a period of time. Really bugging me that I can't find anything reporting the same problem?

There's loads of threads on this. Change dalvik cache size or just use Nova launcher. IMO it's better.

There have been loads of reports about it.
Use Nova as the poster above said or go to android.mimic.ca and upload your services.jar and it'll change the oom priorities so the launcher isn't killed.

I really think I need a lesson in how to search properly. So if I use another launcher will Touchwiz lay dormant or still be running in the background?

You could try checkrom's latest release, they have tweaked tw to reduce redraws, I haven't noticed the problem since I flashed it.

Any reason why you recommend nova as to apex. I read they are so similar. I wanna know the best so I can pay for the full one

Still does it whether on custom roms or whether you apply any and all the tweaks on the forum, it also happens with all the launchers.
Serious problem that needs to be addressed.
You will also notice multitasking is a complete no no as all the other apps reload too.
More ram is needed or many many less running apps.
Go launcher doesn't seem to redraw if you can stand such an old launcher.
Peace.

You're doing it wrong.
Go launcher is ****.
I NEVER get redraws with Nova.
Use my phone constantly, on 5hrs 12min screen on right now and not one redraw all day.

Couldn't disagree more, I don't get any redraws using checkrom. And when it comes to go launcher, it's probably the most bloated and clunky browser there is albeit highly customizable. Nova and Apex are probably just a good as each other. Touchwiz seems to use less resources than other launchers but it is lacking in features.

To be fair not one re draw from nova as yet. The card scrolling effect of home screens is probably my favourite bit

I don't think so.
The only options would be to flash newer firmware manually with Odin (may our may not help) or use market launcher such as nova or apex. They have option in settings to keep launcher in memory. It can help, but not always prevent launcher getting killed off.

I've trialed and tested a number of different ROMs but find that regardless of the ROM,
TOUCHWIZ WILL ALWAYS CRASH AT SOME POINT!!
Doesnt happen all the time, but it will happen, and it is a pain!!!!
Does anyone know of any ROMs where touchwiz has been removed and is not the default launcher in the ROM.
Many Thanks...
Just change launcher! Try nova, to clear default go. Settings/applications/manage applications/tw launcher and clear default

touchwiz crashes? What do you mean by that? I hope you are not talking about launcher reloading?
I would normally agree with you, and theoretically you'd think that would work! But it doesn't.. Touchwiz, because it's running in the rom still in the background, still crashes and no matter how many times you click "ok" it constantly crashes and freezes up the phone, regardless of the alternative launcher I'm running over the top..
So I was Hopi.g for a rom that had the touchwiz launcher completely removed! Either that, or is there away to completely stop touchwiz from running once I have another launcher open. Other than "force stop", cuz that doesn't seem to work either..!

Well, obviously the widgets etc redraw every now and again, but no, what I mean is it crashes!! And no matter how many times you click "ok" to restart it, it will never restart, just keep getting the popup "touchwiz has stopped, restart" or sumthin like that...
The only way to stop it and make it run again is to restart the phone every time!

I have never got a force close on TW launcher. If you are getting it on multiple roms (even stock) then there is a chance that you are restoring system data?

I would like to think that i'm not a noob when it comes to flashing etc.. I am aware and clear on what needs to be done / and not done, when flashing new roms, so i'm 99% sure that accidently restoring system data is not the issue..

Can you just use Titanium Backup and Freeze Touchwiz Home? That should stop it, although I find it really strange that it's crashing in the backup if you're using a different launcher, it shouldn't even be running if you're on another launcher.
