Moved to ICS and found anone annoying issue which i cannot fix:
if application crashes then everything freezes for quite long time(may be up to 30 sec) before show notification about crash.
On Gingerbread it happened instantly.
Probably, it's because Samsung ICS firmwares are still experimental (dispite being called as "release"). But... Is there any solution to eliminate such long freeze time?

I'm not really using any huge widgets or a ton of home screens, but lately the system has been killing it. I have it set to be persistent in the app settings and in CM settings. Is there any way to monitor its memory use?

Got it not to o long ago and having same prob, just thot it was unstable
It needs a lot of work. Although I've finally got things set up in such a way that ADW EX plays nicely with everything else, runs very fast, and never crashes on me. The only remaining problem is that it occassionally gets dumped from memory, even though I've got it set up to "Keep home in memory." So I have to watch it reload when returning to the home screen one out of every ten times. Other than that, it's beast.
Ive been using it for a couple months thru most of the nightlies upto rc2 and for me I was always able to fix every problem by switching to ADW stock and just giving up on the EX I't contantly froze up after more than 20 or so minutes in lock, no matter how long I gave it to setup after coming off lockscreen it would often still Fc or just freeze, there has seemed to be a lil less problems with rc2 though, most of the FCs I was getn could be avoided by not having any screen transition fx other than the stock scroll, this was killing me constantly, when I disabled it it almost ran smooth, almost! With the theme chooser now im so tempted to just toss it.
I think I found out what may have been causing it. I was also using Multitasking Pro, and I had it mapped to a double-click of the home button so the system thought it was my home app and kept it alive instad of ADW. Re-mapping MTP to the genius button and having ADW as my home key app fixed it. No crashes thus far.
Mine just recently started doing this and it was after i flashed RC2. I remembered this thread so I came over. It force closes constantly on a reboot until it seems to settle itself but I also get a force close on every phone call which blocks the caller id until i force close it. It's getting annoying but I love the design of my homescreen so i'm kind of torn. A fix permissions did nothing to rectify it. I guess i'll try to reinstall it and see what happens. Maybe Titanium Backup messed with it, I don't know.
My Thunderbolt is rooted, and I have tried several different ROMs (some AOSP even) and different kernels, and still I get this strange problem... I use WidgetLocker and fairly often when I go to unlock my phone, the touch screen doesn't work. I have to turn the screen on and off several times and sometimes that works, but it may take up to several minutes for it to finally register my touch. I even sometimes have to pull the battery because after ten minutes, nothing is responding. At first, I thought it the ROM/kernel - I used BAMF in the beginning and that is when I noticed it. Then I switched to ShiftSense, and I barely noticed the touch screen ever failing on me, but the lack of GPS locking and accuracy made me switch to NonSense, which I enjoy but again the touch screen not working at the WidgetLocker lock screen comes up again. My other theory was maybe the HTC Ring Lock Screen gets in the way, so I downloaded NoLock and disabled it, but that didn't work. Then I tried use the WL HomeHelper, but that didn't work... I tried different settings, but no avail. I really enjoy WidgetLocker and I want to try to keep it, but I am not sure what other things I should try to fix this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
widget locker did that to me several times so I gave up on it. Its definitely a problem with widget locker and not your phone or ROM. It freezes. I even set it to unlock with long press of back button and that would freeze as well.
my phone does the same thing, i think its a problem with our phone and gingerbread. it happens less with froyo. I believe its a radio issue.

I have used widget locker on over 10 different android devices I've own. I've never had a freeze issue with it. Reason I've had freeze issue starting with low RAM device. Then voltage to low or cpu frequency to low.
Is there a good alternative with Widget Locker? I just love the use of my own custom slider/widgets/custom background... Does any other app do that? I sort of want to try another app and test to see if it is in fact my phone/RAM/ROM/whatever or Widget Locker.

take off or freeze widget locker for a few days and see how your phone does. If it doesn't freeze, then you know its the app.
As for the guy that has used widget locker on 10 devices without problems, I call BS, I tried it on stock, and several customs and always had problems.
I sort of like the features of WidgetLocker than my default lock screen doesn't have and the look of it, so if I turn it off, I sort of want to try to find a replacement app in the meantime.
I just wanted to chime in and say I have this issue with my Thunderbolt and Widgetlocker as well. I've found that it usually freezes if I let my screen turn off by timing out. I'll turn it back on and the screen doesn't respond at all. I've found that if I let my screen timeout again while on the Widgetlocker screen, my touch screen will be responsive the next time I turn it on again.

Same problem here, I stopped using widget locker and just use the sense 3 lockscreen now.
I just wanted to put in my two cents - I was have the same problems with WidgetLocker on BAMF Forever (1.0.7 & 1.0.9). I found another thread on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151269) that someone with a BAMF Sense 3 ROM and a custom kernel was having the same issue. Someone else suggested upping the voltage on the kernel to 368 or changing the kernel. It didn't work for him, but it did for me. I'm not using a custom kernel, but there is an option to change that in BAMF Settings. I've been running it at 368 for several days now and I only had one lockup (but that was shortly after bootup and the phone was probably busy doing other things in the background). HTH
I am currently running rooted MJ7 (Verizon Galaxy S4) and have window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animation duration scale all turned off in developer options. I hoped that this would reduce screen and lock screen lag, however, I am getting pretty pissed about waking my phone and have to wait for 10-15 seconds for any touch response. This happens about once or twice an hour. It also occurs every so often once the screen unlocks and I will wait 10-15 seconds for anything but the wallpaper to load... I have hard reset multiple times hoping to clear the issue. I use zero widgets to avoid load time (however the hardware in this phone should be able to handle pretty damn much anything), and I manually clear cache and kill apps regularly....Nothing has helped... Any ideas or anyone else experiencing this?

Do you have lock screen effects turned off (light and water)? Turning those off really helped with the stutter I used to get when unlocking. It wasn't nearly as bad as what you're describing though... are you running any performance tweaks? Any 3rd party apps that change system behavior? I would freeze any non-stock apps and mods for a day and see if you still get it.

Haha, I actually feel quite noob at this point. Immediately after creating this post I went through my running applications in rom toolbox and noticed one little thing... There was a system cleanup tool running a total clean at every system lock, thus killing all running/background apps. The lag was simply the phone restarting the necessary applications... After eliminating this procedure I no longer experience the severity of lag. Whoops.

All,
My S4 non-rooted stock Mk2 has recently started playing the notification sound and vibration without there being an actual notification in the bar. No New e-mails or texts are coming in when this happens and nothing new in the apps being updated.
How can I track it down? It appears at random times not on any discernible pattern.
I'm pulling my hair out looking for what is causing this. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? Is it app related? If so what app?
I have Facebook notifications turned off, and I've not installed any new apps around the time this behavior began.

I've never experienced that myself, but I'd probably start by assigning different apps to different notification colours. (assuming the issue also causes the notification light to turn on)
I think TouchWiz roms don't have that option, but an app or xposed module may be able to do it like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager
Depending on how many apps you have, you could start by e.g. assigning half to red and half to green. Then when it happens you'll know which half contains the app causing it. Then you can split that half in half again, etc...

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
hi
first problem that i don't know how to solve. i was searching but didn't find that problem or solution for it. so here it is.i make some test shaking app (random numbers). after few shakings ui dies. restarting it doesn't solve the issue. dead ui behaves like very slow opening status bar, very slow sim unlocking (and typing in that dialog too). apps are running ok. folder openning is ok. i tried to play with ambient display, live display, and similar display options but issue is still here. i tried to restart ui but issues stays. when this happened background become black. changing background...issues stays. playing (changing) with themes...issues stays. rebooting...soft...hard...you name it...issue is here.
this happened with Resurrection Remix MM latest version and with Beanstalk MM latest version.
i am not sure where is the problem. my app? device sensor? CM 13?
anyone have something like that?
new rom flash....no issues...until i run my app
and from time to time i get err dialog (working or not working) saying that UI stopped functioning, and then UI restart but issues stays...
thanks
