Eversince i got on CM7 this issue happens 100%.
Soon as Phone boots up, launcher pro is stuck- the notification bar everything is good, i can slide down everything, but launcher pro is just frozen. Then after a while, it either starts working... or FC comes up and soon as i click FC everything is back to normal, smooth and all that good stuff.
anyone know why this is?
Never happned on another ROM, just CM7... OFC im not leaving CM7 because of this, but i'd like to know what the issue here is and hwo i can fix it or if it's happening to anyone else
I have Launcher Pro Plus, latest version.
I asked this on another forum, so before someone says it, no this is not a pirated version, this is a real LPP, i love fede, i'd never betray that damned good dev!
got it working, a guy from the Nexus S forums helped me out.
For CM7
Settings>CM7 settings> Performance> VM Heap Size> change to 48M
reboot.
you're good!
Try GO Launcher. It's a free download, has been more reliable for me. It has a very similar look to Launcher Pro and is more customizable.
Happens to me in all roms guess its all the apps

Anyone else notice that the app drawer within ADW is EXTREMELY laggy on the EVO 3D? I've tried messing with all of the settings and none of them seem to have an effect. I've even made the app drawer as small as possible (minimum amount of vertical and horizontal apps per screen) and it's still incredibly slow and laggy.
Tried uninstalling it and no change. Haven't tried using ADW Ex because I didn't want to have to pay for it if it isn't going to fix my issue, but I will if I have to.
Anyone else experience this?
I went ahead and just bought EX and the lag is completely gone LOL
I'd still like to know why the free version lags though, and I'm sure if others would too if they are having the same problem. I doubt the solution is simply "buy EX"
Wish I would've caught you before you wasted your money! GO Launcher EX is far and away the best launcher out of all of them. It takes the best bits of launcher pro, adw, and miui, rolls them all into 1 flawless experience and it's free... Check it out and tell me I'm wrong please! Lol

Well, I'm having a frame drop or some kind of lag when im scrolling in application list too fast, sometimes it happens when im scrolling slow. And the same goes for homescreen, sometimes i get like 1 second lag which is very noticeable i don't know if this is normal or Galaxy S2 shouldn't lag like this at all.
I've tried Factory Reset, Change firmware, Data/Cache Wipe.
Im currently running 2.3.4 XXKG2 i got this lag in KF7 and KG1 too
I don't know if everyone is having this problem or only me, even ADW Launcher and Launcher PRO lags a little .. I don't have any heavy application open that can cause this i only have Facebook and eBuddy open.
Do you guys think if i tick Partition and load a .pit file will fix this? Or mabe a Dalvik Cache wipe? :/ Im sad even the iPhone has smoother scrolling u_u
iOS is all about it's interface. You can't compete to it with Android. Never tick partition, why would you think that'd fix it? Are you running a lot of widgets or anything? Because I cannot reproduce this lag you have.
If you do all those clean installs and wipes and flashes, the cause just can't be your phone itself. After the flashing, do you restore your apps using some titanium backup or something? Maybe the settings or apps are a little faulty.
Try using a CPU monitor to see if anything sucks up CPU power, because I can't imagine the phone lagging from nothing.

You're not going crazy buddy. My HTC Sensation 4G exhibits the same problem when scrolling through lists. This is annoying as hell while my friends Nexus S flies all over the damn place!
Note to HTC: You don't know how to code. Stop with it! You can make merry in your wet dreams but give us the option, as users paying $500, to kick sense to the curb like the dirt it is.
PS I am using GO Launcher EX which is awesome.
I was in stock KF3 --> NO LAG Installed KH3----->LAG when scrolling between homescreens Went back to KF3--->NO LAG Installed KH4----> LAG when scrolling between homescreens. BUT this LAG goes away if i choose Live Wallpaper! I dont wanna have Live Wallpaper cos it drains the battery...I use stock wallpaper with only few icons on 1st and 2nd homescreen and BOOM here's the lag!!

I had the same issue. Went from original 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 and Lag'd, so went back, now on 2.3.6 and still lagging.
The live wallpaper fix does actually fix the issue as well, which is weird. I only run 2 widgets on my desktop.
If anyone has any ideas it'd be much appreciated.
EDIT: Just had a quick play around with it. It seems if I remove the Program Monitor widget that samsung use initially, it removes any lack. Stupid TouchWiz.

thank!!
i just upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6.
i was wondering why is the home screen scrolling so choppy, its like 3 fps only.
i did a full wipe and clear cache, but its still the same.
after reading your post, i tried to remove the program monitor widget and my scrolling is back to normal.
why program monitor widget cause lag in this 2.3.6 version?
it was smooth in 2.3.3, unbelievable, samsungs own widget causing lag.
Has anyone noticed their homescreen has gone laggy when moving from screen to screen?
I like the default launcher, so I'm in no position to change it, but it's developed alot of lag since I first bought it exactly a week ago today.
Only plays up on the default launcher.
had mine over a month, and I find it to be the fastest android tablet in terms of switching screens...very smooth experience over here so far.
Thanks for the response - I wonder if a data reset would do the trick.
agreed that it is one of smoothest tablets on the market. I sometimes experience lag if I have a live wallpaper active. perhaps getting a task killer with a widget on the home screen could help quickly kill anything running in the background that could be the culprit of the lag.
Everything is running smoothly except the home screen and I don't really want to have to do a reset.... hmm
Have you loaded up your screens with tons of shortcuts? If I remember correctly it made my homescreen animations jerky but I then switched to Launcher Ex.

theres nothing on my homescreens lol
I agree with the OP, the launcher's performance is sub-par. I don't have any live wallpapers, or hardly any icons, no widgets, and I can see it's not perfectly smooth. I installed ADW Launcher which is clearly significantly faster and what I would consider perfectly smooth and fluid. Anyone that thinks their launcher isn't choppy probably just needs to compare against a trial install of ADW.
I like the look of the default launcher though lol
I find this very strange that people are experiencing this lag. I am using the default launcher, a few incons on main screen, and at least one widget on every other screen, some 2 or 3 widgets, and still super smooth... way better than samsung tablets, asus, motorola, etc....
Should I do a reset in the short term?
I don't have much experience with any but the stock launcher. In fact, being relatively new to android I didn't even realize that you could change launchers until I flashed MIUI which had three diff ones. I'm using Apex now and I like it. Any others that you prefer?
I started with Stock, LauncherPro, then ADWLauncer (which I liked), then Coffee Bean theam. Phone would sometime freeze and I got pissed and put it entirely back to stock.
Personally, with a little time and effort, stock is not that bad to me.
I am using QQ's launchers lock screen
With ADWLauncher EX. Have used SPB Shell 3D also.

I forgot, I had SPB Shell 3D originally too. Not ready for Primetime. Lots of freezes, I would flick my finger to change screens, up to a minute later. Sometimes it would lock and not let me make phone calls!
Here is the real kicker why I dumped them. I go to call my brother, nothing happens so I return to home screen. I go to call my mother, same thing nothing. I go to call my girl, same thing. I go to call my brother again, nothing. Geting frusted I put it down. 15 minutes all the calls that did not go thru, it would recall them back in order. If I caught it, I would just hangup. If not, brother picks up and finds im not there, hangs up, then my Photon would call my mother...............Agh! Then they all call back later and asked why I called them!
I had the 3D shell on Evo, AT&T Fuze, AT&T Tilt and did not have a single issue (then again, it was not a rich and flashy as now. Just did not work for me!)
zeam is the one that I use. (lol, is that long enough?)

This exact scenario use to happen to me when I used Go Launcher EX. Problem went away when I went back to stock. Months later, I loaded ADW (free version) and did NOT experience this problem. Purchased ADW EX a few weeks ago and the problem is back! ARGH!!
Anyone else having this problem with ADW EX?

I have had this same issue, most frequently with Go Launcher EX when coupled with my Cardock. I have periodically had the issue with ADW EX, but much less frequently.

Well, I am glad to know it is not just "my phone" that is having this problem. I'm also curious as to why it does not happen with the free version of ADW.
I've tried ADW Launcher, SPB Shell 3D, Nemus Launcher...The best one in my opinion is Go Launcher EX, easy to use and customize.
I've been having this problem for only the last month or so...prior to that never had a problem.
It started with Launcher Pro and mostly seemed to happen when the phone had been inactive for several hours. Switched to Go Launcher and still have the problem, just not as often...
Tried factory reset, then SBF, switched from 198_6 to 198_7...same problem.

For me, the problem generally occurs when I hang up with one person and then immediately attempt to place another call. I run my entire business through my phone so I am making and receiving calls literally all day. This problem definitely causes some inconvenience.
Ive been using launcher pro plus about a week now and no problems with.
Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme, and ICS themed icons.
Used to use Launcher Pro Plus all the time but got fed up with the lack of updates. Ran SPB Shell for a long time and had no issues with it. Not sure why peeps say it is not ready for primetime cause it works good on the Photon. Most that say that are probably using an older/hacked version of it. Now I am using GoLauncher EX because it has a lot of themes/widgets available and I like the amount of options however it does lag some when scrolling between screens depending on the animation used. When on ICS I was running Apex launcher and recommend it for that. Works without issue and keeps that ICS interface feel.
Since I switched from running SPB on my phone I loaded it on one of my tablets and actually like it better with the tablet interface. It really works well when in landscape unlike a lot of the other launchers. Don't like having the launcher bar on the side when in landscape on a tablet.
Hello,
I use ADW Launcher EX and cannot be more pleased. I got it during the Android Market Xmas Promotion when tons of Apps were $0.10 or whatever they were.
Cheers,
JJ
Go Launcher Ex!
Hands down the best (IMO).
Its the only one which has the ability to re-size icons & widgets irrespective of the original size.
I've used ADW EX and Launcher Pro Plus, while ADW has a few more features and is still getting updates, I love the features of Launcher Pro Plus even though it hasn't been updated in a while, every time I switch to a different one I always go back to it. Never had an issue with it, no lag no nothing. My phone is always super fast and it's only rotted
I like adw ex the best, never had any problems and usually crappy phones in general can run adw five times faster than their stock, ive tried go launcher, its very similar to adw but it glitches up a bit(not as smooth and snappy) adw also has resizable widgets and overlaping widgets(i do photos behind apps its kinda cool) never had any major problem with adw always been reliable and my favorite from the start!

I've been using ADW launcher now with no theme for quite a while. It's been really stable and a vast improvement over the stock blur UI. I like that I'm able to achieve a level of consistency between all of my android devices so switching between them isn't a pain at all.
Golauncher ex. Folders in the app drawer, resizing widgets, the new power manager (which rocks btw), and awesome transitions.
