Just curious, how many you have installed?
Mine is 68 in Google play market and the total is 215 with Titanium Backup Display (include system apps.). Not sure that many of apps are slowing my Note down.
26 user apps, 169 total including system apps. I'm running TPC v2, Da_G's PC kernel @ 1.83 GHz, and all bloat removed. No lag whatsoever, my phone is fast as hell.

According to Appbrain..

TiBu says "384 elements" whatever that means.

Mine is stock rooted, I have no lag... I switched to Launcher Pro though, although I was kind of liking CheeseWhiz's launcher, it's not really that bad but the fact that folders in the apptray and folders in the launcher desktop were completely separate pissed me off.. In hindsight if I really wanted to use CheeseWhiz I could have just put all of the apps I want to hide in one folder and not otherwise had folders in the apptray, but I spent 30 minutes or so organizing apps in folders in my apptray only to find out you couldn't put those folder on the desktop then. WTF?
40 apps not more!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm using ADW EX for my launcher as well, which can do a lot for reducing lag if you have any. My phone didn't have lag anyways before I went away from stock, I just like being able to flash stuff and mess with my phone. Also, more importantly than the national increase in performance, rooting allows me to mod my phone's theme much more with custom status bar icons and such using UOT kitchen. Any reason you're staying stock?

No lag in ADW EX? You must have very few icons, folders, and Widgets on your device. I found ADW EX really jittery, especially with the fancy folders on. Even disabling that, it was jittery. I eventually just went back to Launcher Pro.
300+...been keeping since my Evo days
have try thousands but most are junk so i uninstall
just need one more app to make perfect.....that app that makes your camera flash when you receive a text or call....does anyone know of any that works for the note?

I only ever use one home screen with 5 apps and one minimalistic text widget. That being said, adding more screens and populating them did not show any lag still, and my app drawer is totally smooth and opens instantly as well. Who knows, maybe your device doesn't like ADW EX?
I don't like having more than one home screen, because I don't use a ton of widgets, and I only have a handful of apps I use often. everything else can go in my app drawer.

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

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.

Hi Guys,
Quick question out of Adw launcher and LauncherPro or Go Launcher Which is the best to use??
I want Photo Widgets But it seems theses Home replaceMents Dont have them
Launcher pro and ADW use to have Photo widgets but not anymore
do you guys have any ideas or should i just stick to Sense
KiK me at username CellOo
thanks​
I just tried Go Launcher Ex for the first time yesterday and I must say I am in love. Hands down the best launcher I have used to date. There are so many options and I love all the cool transitions. The Touch Wiz skin is pretty cool as well...It also has it's own free widgets that you can download.
I thought I was going to miss the Sense launcher but I do not see myself going back anytime soon.
The 3Evo was born to have 5 rows in it's launcher. It just fits perfectly. Add that with some Beautiful widgets, and it just can't be beat!

D. None of the above.
Spb 3d mobile shell is the only other launcher I use. Go back and forth between it and stock. It's widgets are by far the best in my opinion. It's not quite as smooth as sense and it costs... But well worth the money if you ask me.

I like that one a lot too. Use it intermittently. Only thing I don't like about that one is that when you go to "all apps" and you scroll fast, when you touch to stop the scroll, the apps crawl up or down for a second or more (to lock on to a row) and if you try to touch an icon to start an app while the scroll is still crawling, it ignores it. You have to wait until the crawling scroll is done and then tap again. So I've gone back to Sense just because the fact that it scrolls all apps a page at a time is nice.

I can't use any of them, because none of them (without root) will give me a simple 1x1 widget that will display my unread exchange emails. (I can't use k-9 because my work uses Exchange 2010).
15 BUCKS FOR A FREAKING LAUNCHER???
bwahahahahahahaha joke right?
I also like Go Launcher but the sense is really fast and go Launcher has a lag when changing pages.
I see that spb has experimental stereoscopic built into it. does that do anything on the evo3d?
Personally, I have tried all that you've listed... Also GDE.
I have stuck with Go ever since I really figured it out. It gets my vote!
I tried Go for a little bit. (Few hours) Unless I missed it in the options I didn't see where I could get a full screen app drawer. I just felt like I was missing a lot if real estate when I opened the drawer. Got in my nerves :/ Small I know, but that's me.

I switch between ADW EX & Go Launcher....I like to keep things clean looking, so Go Launcher I set up with the scrolling dockbar hidden (revealed with a down swipe). With ADW EX I use basically a dual dockbar & toggle between the 2 with a downswipe on the screen. 1 home screen and lots of real estate to actually enjoy my wallpaper.

I am enjoying my 3vo. But being my first real android, I do miss having quality apps from winmo days. They do cost more, but worked and looked better to me. Every one seems to be used to free mediocre apps that no one tries the pay apps. Unfortunately if no one pays there won't be many quality apps. I used SPB MS in winmo and will now try it here. I miss Agenda One as my calender also.

Been using Launcher pro for a while now, never looked back.
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'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 have spb, its good but uses lots of memory, sometimes, it lags speed to load, and slows down, it only has one theme so you either settle with it or once you get bother you regret spending $15.00 dollars as I did. otherwise its good launcher.

Nova Launcher Prime is an excellent launcher.
Only problem I've been having, I can create a folder and put several apps in it. However, after about three or four apps, when I try to add another app to a folder by dragging the app to the folder, the folder and app simply swap locations! It's absolutely maddening!
I've written to the developers, and they've responded by telling me how to add an app to a folder. I KNOW how to add apps! It isn't WORKING! The app and folder simply change locations!
Other then this one issue (which is kind of a biggy), Nova is bug free and a pleasure to use!
I love nova launcher. Worth every penny. Sbd always ran very smooth for me by lacks features. Kinda like the stock android launcher. What you see is what you get.

I've used Next Launcher it's buttery smooth. They are able to achieve 60 FPS consistently which is very rare for a launcher. Is it worth $15, hell no! Maybe $5 at most but I have used so many of Go's products which are all free so I figured the $15 went to support continued development.

Folders are for noobz. Take advantage of the tabs I have mine set like this. General, Games, Tools, Media, Misc
Seeing as the "General" tab is first I have allocated it to be for any app that I access all the time.
When Eclair and Froyo were around, I used Launcher Pro Plus. Once Gingerbread was released I was on ADW EX until it was destroyed by Go Launcher EX. But then came along ICS and changed the game, I felt like Apex Pro was the best for a long time. Once Nova and Apex both launched "Extra Tabs" I started the tabs on Apex and it SUCKED so I switched to Nova Prime and I feel like it is the best Launcher experience to date.
P.S. I have tried SPB Shell on my SGS 3 and it was slow and buggy. It felt too bloated for me. If you want to try something completely different, I would recommend using widgets and multi picture livewallpaper. You can create some awesome effects.
There is a video on youtube right here going in to detail on how to do some of the stuff (this is over the top for me) but you can play with it. *Note you don't have to use Go Launcher, have a play*
I hope this helps

This error has nothing to do with Nova. It is most likely because you are running a 3rd party Message app or simply a bad mms.apk install. I would clear the cache files or reinstall your messaging app

Probably getting notifications from both stock sms app and 3rd party.
As far as Next Launcher and SPB they are gimmicky crap in my opinion. They might look cool for a day or two but that wears off and you are stuck with a cheap toy-looking launcher that you spent upwards of 15 bucks on. Get ADW EX or Nova or Apex.

Yeah, the 3rd party message app causes the duplicate unless you disable the notification.
I have played with SO many launchers at this point it makes me dizzy. All the 3D stuff/fancy frills are battery kills. I love the stock launcher, but Nova really takes the cake for me.
Yea I did have 3rd party apps but I uninstalled them for that reason cause of the double notifications....still get them though don't knows what's up don't get me wrong I love nova SPB definitely not worth the price and Next was eh I'd rather use nova or EX...still running Nova right now love the gestures to pull up an app!

This.
It actually sounds like nova is getting unloaded from memory. Just use the stock launcher. It's perfect.

yea i'm using nova launcher cause i like the look of aosp rather than sense and i get some lag sometimes...i just want root and cm 10.1 ^_^
I'll try sense. I like nova cause I can change the icon themes. Any other launchers that work well with the DNA??

I am using apex and love it. Im also running beastmode at 1.8 and its super smooth.
Coming from Sprint's network and the EVO Shift, this phone rocks stock. It's the first phone I don't feel the NEED to root (But I do want :victory: ). Smooth and fast and beautiful. But HTC Sense is a preference, and the camera is great. I forgot what I was saying...
I'd love to root but it has the latest software, boo!!!
I put sense on and its much better. I'll keep it this way til I get bored and I'll try something else.
Much faster though!!! Thx.

That's strange about nova and speed. I am currently running nova and its faster than sense for me. I am using viper Rom though so that may make the difference.

With nova, make sure you change the animation and transition speeds to fast or fastest..

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

That does make it feel a little faster but i was saying that nova launcher made my phone unresponsive once.. The button clicks would take few seconds to register.... A reboot fixed it... Thank you. I am trying the faster setting and i like it
I tried adw but went back to nova cause I just am familiar with it.
I changed the settings to faster than light and its way better so far!!

Check if you have kill all apps when leaving in the developer options. This doesn't play nice with the launcher.

I don't recall seeing an option like that.

there is an option like that (dev options -> advanced -> "Don't keep activites") but i don't have that enabled...idk. i cleared cache with nova launcher and it oddly seems more responsive..
Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.
