Recently my launcher and homescreen have been really twitchy. The it's almost like the entire screen moves a couple pixels diagonally back and forth but it doesn't affect the apps. I'm not positive but so far it seems as though it may only be when docked to the keyboard.
Anyone else experience this?

are you using a custom launcher at all? im using Nova Launcher and every time i open my homescreen my background picture unloads, loads, unloads again, all widgets lose their images, and then everything works fine. probably an issue with the launcher though.
Something similar happened to me while I was on stock WW .28 after very long uptime (300 hrs+) on stock launcher. Rebooting fixed it. On custom Rom I haven't had this issue.

Stock launcher. The issue was real bad on Androwook and Virtuous so I went back to the stock .28. I've only seen it once so far on stock.
I'm using CM10 unofficial and isn't this problem. (But there is occasional SOD)

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 recently upgrade my Prime to ICS, and it works fine except that I get a weird pixilation and lines that go through certain screens. Any thoughts on why it does this? It's not consistent, but happens enough it's annoying. I tried wiping the tablet, but I haven't tried reinstalling the update. Thanks in advance.
Your not alone with this problem. I get the same effect alot
I called ASUS and they said they are working on a fix for it. Who knows how long that will take. haha. Although, I have noticed that using NOVA launcher seems to help a lot opposed to the stock launcher. There's a post about it in the Nexus app section. I use it on my Galaxy Note with ICS and it's way better than any stock launcher. Check it out if you have some time.
I've had this a couple times. I then changed to a static wallpaper, from a live wallpaper, and it seemed to not give occasional horizontal "staticy" lines.
By any chance are you using live wallpaper?
I've never had the vertical window blinds effect from two posts up though.

I have used GO Launcher for Prime and love it as much as I love it on my phone. I am being turned off since I read that GO Launcher is a battery hog on the phone. Personally I had not paid much attention to the difference in battery consumption between different launchers. I wonder if anyone has used GO launcher on the Prime and what they think of it? Is there a noticeable difference in power consumption between GO Launcher and the stock launcher?
when i used golauncher for a bit i didn't notice any extra battery usage from it.
i only used it for about a week before going back to the stock launcher and then to nova launcher, which is what i'm currently using.
i did like the go widgets that were offered, but didn't like the app scaling button that was added since it wasn't natively made for tablet resolutions.
is that still there? i'd give it a whirl again if it was gone now.
Hmm, I've always used ADW specifically because it improved by phone's battery life drastically.
I can't say the same for my tablet because I didn't install ADW on the Prime until after ICS, and ICS seems to have increased battery consumption.
No difference for me. Still getting 13-20 hrs of use with Go laucher. I use it on my EVO I'm gettin a full day.

If you are taking about the button on the status bar for ZOOM or STRETCH, yeah, it's still there. I searched on the market fr Nova Launcher with no result. how do you get it?

i just made all the shortcuts invisible, couldn't find a way to disable it completely.
also, i think if you make the orientation fixed to landscape the drawer works right...
Can sm1 get go launcher prime fr free?
Since most launchers are geared towards phones instead of tablets i was wondering what launche rs work well with the prime?
Stock launcher seems very laggy on the home screen, any fixes for this?
NOVA/Trebuchet and I've also heard ADW and SPB although SPB cost is a little on the insanely high side.

I've used adw ex and it was pretty good but doesn't work nicely with wizz widget. Very laggy scrolling in Facebook and twitter Widgets.
I don't have any lag with stock launcher if I set to normal mode(3rd icon in power management options)

i use Nova launcher, works great with root access and the only few problems I had with it were fixed in the last two updates (less than a week apart)
my main problem with the stock launcher is that with all my icons (like, close to 30 total) switching between screens laggs dramatically. to the point where switching is not smooth at all. I have continiously checked running processes to see whats eating my processor, nothing extra aside from the basic that i can see.... if anyone has ideas why my stock launcher is lagging please let me know :/
Rooted, oc to 1.83, supercharger 1000hp..only launcher with zero lag is TW.. Currently using Go with occasionally bearable lag on app drawer and general usage.
On all other launchers though (esp LPP which I'd like to use), the app drawer is very laggy on open and close, but and changing opening speed doesn't help. Everything else seems perfectly smooth with LPP, but the app drawer itself is frustratingly laggy and prevents me from using it.. Any advice?

Bad optimization, abstraction layers, visual complexity, the number of objects.on the screen...among other things, can all cause the sputtering and stuttering we love so much.
People just care too much about visuals and they'll keep buying and using stuff even if it doesn't perform well.
Btw. SPB Shell 3d didn't lag when i used it...anywhere. But its so funky and limited that i found myself back at the stock launcher...and quick.
Have you tried SS launcher?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Haven't tried ss.. I'm worried because everybody is reporting that LPP is perfect on ATT note, I and my app drawer is very laggy.. Not sure why mine is unique.. Everything else about launcher pro is buttery.

for me, when i use horizontal scrolling (left/right) in my app drawer, there is lag. when i switch to vertical scrolling (up/down) it is lag-free.
i use Zeam launcher.
That's strange--with these other launchers, I have very smooth operation EXCEPT for when the app drawer is opened.
Can someone comment on why there is such variation between i717's? anything we can do to rectify?
I use adw ex launcher......make sure you turn off all animations off in system.....and in launcher......turn off anything that maes visual effects.....I have 0 lag... try spare parts app...they have a couple good edits in there for turning transitons fast and faster scrolling options...also there is a build prop I believe max events should be 200....helps as well

Thats crazy, Launcher pro has 0 lag, and on a high end phone like this, no launcher should have lag at ALL!!
TSF works well no lag, sometimes it will reboot upon unlocking the screen which takes about 4-5 seconds. However there is 0 lag, and lots of eye candy, with updates HOPEFULLY on the way. The customer support is terrible though, I emailed them a few times with no reply to date.
Mine is stock not rooted.
I had good luck with ADWex with vertical drawer and transparent background.
TSF launcher is a bit wonky but ultra smooth. Hoping it gets some updates to make it really killer.
Edit-completely stock GNote still. No root, etc.

I've used the stock launcher, SPB Mobile Shell, ADW Ex, GoLauncher and Launcher Pro on my Note I717. I HATE to say it because I've been ADW for a long time, but Launcher Pro has minimal lag compared to the others. I'd say SPB was a close 2nd but you can't customize that one much. Try and you'll see, promise.

My app drawer is very laggy as well, and its jittery switching between home screens.
Coming from an Epic Touch GSII it is a bit tough putting up with the slower speeds even though I have overclocked. I decided to rebuild the phone from scratch, NOT restoring from titaniumat all and limiting the number of programs I installed. It HAS helped but it is still not as responsive as my GSII. I noitce that the memory on this phone gets eaten up and I often only have 40-50MB for running programs. On my GSII I seemed to always have over 120MB free easy. Without getting into the discussion of using app killers, I do notice that if I kill the apps the phone (app tray, home button etc) start responding more quickly. Side by side I also notice that the amount of memory available on the GSII vs Note when all apps are killed via Advanced Task killer is about 100 to 300MB less for me on the Note vs my Wife's stock skyrocket. Once Killed I am lucky to get over 250MB available where her skyrocket gets 497MB available. Not sure if there is anything I can do about that or if it is even related to the lag on the Note, but it is a pain for sure!
Still in my 30 days and I am Loving most things about the Note. However the Lag is heavy on my mind when I considor if I want this phone for the next 2 years.
