A week or so ago I posted a thread on my phone lagging in and out of the text app. I decided to try go sms. It seemed to be better but not completely gone. Also Ive noticed that when I would go into my contacts and select one the name would pop up but not have any info. I switched to Go contacts and the problem went away. So i thought id give GO launcher a try. WOW is all can say. Id been a LP guy for a long time. This blows it away. My phone actually feels like it got supercharged. if your thinking about trying a new launcher give Go a go!!
So im the only go launcher user?!
Trigger 3.3
I've tried it and got the most part I thought it was nice. The only issues I didn't like was the slower opening transition when using the app drawer and the setup of the app drawer. Other than that, I thought it packed a lot of features.

Hmmm. I thought the opening speed was pretty fast. Plus I like the windmill setting when opening and closing the app drawer.
Its all I use.love go launcher

Im using LP right now, but i admit that i like Go Launcher more...its justs that mosts of the themes are designed for LP these days...anyone can point me to some goods Go Launcher themes?
It's the Best Launcher I've used so far. Sticked with it from Bionix 1.3.1
I been using Go Launcher for a while now and I'm running trigger final. When I go to my contacts and choose a contact to dial, it takes forever to finally dial the number. I've noticed that if I hit the back button or the home button it helps a little bit. I've tried deleting old text messages as well as clearing my call list, but it's only temporary and not enough to fix my problem. Does anyone else have this issue or found a fix for it? anything would be appreciated.
Try using ex dialer.

ex dialer rocks, but it still doesn't solve my lag issues when dialing a call. The screen still freezes and I have to wait as much as 30 seconds for the call to finally send.
Did you try clearing the cache for Dialer?
System Settings -> Applications -> All -> Dialer -> Clear Cache
I haven't really had lag problems, but that's helped when the dialer force closed when entering a number.
Yeah tried that too. I'm actually really starting to think it's go launcher. I deleted it and it made my phone real zippy and responsive. I'm just not a fan of the stock launcher. But getting rid of my custom launcher seemed to solve it. So I figured, screw it and jumped on zenwich. I can live without GPS.

Go Launcher used to be on of my favorites, but it's getting way too flashy for its own good regarding the Vibrant. Too much going on for the old girl as far as I'm concerned.
If you haven't flashed to ICZen yet I highly suggest the Holo launcher if you're still on Froyo. Ice Cream Sandwhich looks and a good portion of the functionality; absolutely love it. Grab that with something like Ex Dialer and I think you'd be good.
I been running icszen for s while now. Very pleased with it as you said. No more lag with the dialer. It's got a couple bugs, but I'm up for upgrade now.

Sense 4.0 is smooth, but I've noticed that the app drawer consistently lags whenever I open it. The only time this doesn't occur is when I open it multiple times in succession. It happened on both stock and rooted roms, even with the dual core mod, power saver off, and charlmeleon Rom ultra smooth Rosie. It's annoying the crap out of me because the rest of the phone is so smooth.Has anyone else experienced this?

Yep, happens to me too, and totally agree. It definitely takes away from a mostly very smooth sense experience.

Weird..I have had mine now since late May and never any lag what so ever. But now I am running fresh 1.0 with Nova launcher, maybe try that setup, I have used the crap out of mine, running hard every day and never a hickup except for last weekend but that was due to east coast storm that knocked out the Telco.

try settings/developer options and uncheck animations
Yeah I've used apex launcher before, and there was no lag, but I want to have sense. I found a partial fix though. If you change the animation scale to .5x then opening the app drawer is a little more smooth. Hopefully jelly bean will fix this, but I don't plan on waiting for htc's ota update so it probably won't matter to me by then.

Trebuchet is the stock ics launcher, not a third party application.

Try unchecking don't keep activities, then check 2 app process limit...all under developer options in settings

I thought Trebuchet was CM9's modified stock launcher?
i noticed this when using chameleon as well...very frustrating. i also noticed a strange lag when opening settings and battery usage. i really liked the chameleon rom because of the options, but yesterday a mostly functional AOKP dropped and ive been using that its SO much better even underclocked to 1ghz.

sweet worked better for me also.. thanks manG!!!
:good:
I have a feeling it has to do with the CPU ramping up to par for the system to use it. I know someone said it still lags with dual core mods etc.etc. but isn't our phone running the ondemand governor by default? The CPU could be at 384 on the home screen and then shoot up to 1.5 during the little stutter moment of opening the app drawer. I could be way off on this but that's how I'm understanding it

I just got a DNA coming from an s3. I don't know if its me but the phone just feels sluggish at times. For example when I close an app sometimes idyll close and then itll be a few seconds before ally icons pop up. I'm using nova launcher btw.
Just wondering if its just me. Is there anything I can do to fix??

This.
It actually sounds like nova is getting unloaded from memory. Just use the stock launcher. It's perfect.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

We already have a few threads on this issue but I believe I finally resolved my lagging issues by going under the display settings then home screen and changed the "screen swipe effect" to layer or just change yours to a different one from the one you currently have and see if that resolved your lagging issue.
Report back with your results because my results have been positive so far, I'm going on two hours and no lag.

nope. the lag people are reporting is REDRAWING for the most part, which can't be resolved by changing the swipe effect. it's a memory issue.

Yeah I guess so cause after a few hours the lag came back.
Another thing I notice is if you go to the app settings and choose "Home" and clear cache, the LG launcher will run smoother.

I've been using layer as my transition effect since I like the look of it the best. It also seems to be the smoothest.
For the record, I never have experienced launcher redraw on this phone.

The lag that bothers me the most is when the apps don't show in the app drawer right away, then....bang! Oh, there they are...then if you go back to home, and back into the apps it's smooth. But the first time is rather a jolt...
