Hi,
I am not sure what is the issue, but recently I am noticing that my application drawer keeps adjusting. The apps keeps moving from different screens, the last screen comes in between any two screens.
I am on 2.3.6 stock firmware from Samsung.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Vishal

I read somewhere in another thread (probably findable via search...) that the data files of the TW launcher can get corrupted. Try clearing the data for TW launcher in Manage Applications. You'll have to set everything up again though.
I have the same problem. I have stock 234.

Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.

the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

Not sure but what is the build number? LF2?
Yeah LF2, solved my issues straight away even with a different launcher

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Been looking in the forum and found this issue under another heading. I fixed it by rooting and changing the davlik VM heap size from 256 to 128mb. How did Samsung manage to screw this up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

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.
So everytime when I open the contacts app and press the bar with the lettres on the right side it freezes the app for about 1-3 seconds and then the app continues to work like normal. This behaviour occurs everytime I re-open the app.
Is this common behaviour?

I've also have an issue with accessing the dialer.. Dialer takes 1-2 seconds to launch and then when switching from dialpad to contacts, there's also another slight 1 second lag. It has occured on both my stock TW rom and my current - Wanamlite+Siya kernal. Have rebooted and cleared memory many times, but same results.
Cold wakes on the phone also develops a 1-2 second lag to power on the screen.. but turning off/on right after is instantaneous.
Other applications and menus launch smoothly and I don't experience any low memory problems.

I don't even have that much. Looks like it's just some kind of bug.
After a factory reset it's still present. Guess it's a software bug.

Yea, when I used CM9 there wasn't any lag.. only TW based roms as Omega rom seemed to exhibit it too for me.
It seems to be present in the music app too. Really annoying. Samsung should fix this.

Are you on the latest XXLG8 update? I just updated it and it seemed to have improved the lag quite a bit. I also cleared the phone data in the application manager. Still a bit present but usually more so only on the first run..it seems much more bearable now.

It's not yet released in my country. I'll just have to wait for it I guess.
after flashing a rom i got this issue too
but after a while its gone :silly:
i have the exact same problem too, ive tried over a dozen roms including stock, but the contacts app still lags sometimes for a second and up till 3, currently on clockwork mod recovery, siyah (latest), checkrom v4.
i guess it could be a problem if you have linked contacts to facebook, whatsapp and skype, but i dont know i would have to do some testing before i can tell for sure.
anyone come across a script/fix/modded contacts.apk file yet?
I have the same issue. having such an issue in the latest phone of samsung is very annoying. hope this will be fixed in jelly bean update.
the problem appear if you have contact with a lot contact image..try to disable media scanner
Check out "Rescan Media ROOT" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot
above app work for me

Hi,
I have installed the AOSP gallery onto my phone to sort the super laggy gallery app on the GS3, but
my final issue is with the 2 second load time on the Phone and messaging apps when they have been
killed and reloaded in the phone.
I have seen the multitasking fix mod thread, but it doesnt work.
Anyway way to keep those apps in memory so they don't take ages to load? OOM Priority maybe?
Many thanks,
Biff.
Why do you keep killing them from memory?

He doesn't, android does it.
ExDialer would solve the phone and contact issue.
It keeps the phone in memory.
As for message, try Go Sms Pro.
It's launch time is very fast.

Yeah I was using those but themes don't usually have icons for those apps and gosms is pretty laggy
I had hoped devs would be able to lock those apps in memory like the homescreen but doesn't seem so
which is why i'm on AOKP rom now, the messaging app and phone app are far superior.
^
set the GO sms to run in LITE mode. pretty snappy for me
Edit build.prop and add line
sys.keep_app_1=com.example.app(replace com.example.app)
and sys.keep_app_2=com.example.app for the next app. Hope it helps
Okay so I like touch wiz out of all the launchers I have tried, but every time I exit to the home screen it reloads everything. It never used to do this, I have tried restoring my device but the same problem occurs. What can I do about this without having other launchers?- Teardrop
I think it's the insufficient RAM problem. Try locking touchwiz in memory
Welcome. Take a seat next to the other thousands of people also experiencing the same thing with the S3.
