I just did a clean flash of the pre-rooted stock Jellybean ROM found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37735669&postcount=297. Everything works fine so far with the exception of the Nova and Apex Launcher (tested both).
Whenever I tried to pull down the notification bar at the top, there was a 2-3 second delay and there wasn't any animation of the menu being pulled down. When I hold my finger mid-way on the screen, the screen keeps on flashing between the notification bar and the Nova (or Apex) Launcher. It was very glitchy till the extent I went back to the stock launcher.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem too. I tried clean install and it was fine at first then it went all glitchy again. Since it has been a while since you posted, have you came up with a solution or figured out what causing it?
Nova/apex laucher was installed as a system app?
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel

Ya, I managed to find a solution. Go to Settings > Developers options > Check or Uncheck (can't remember which) the "Disable hardware overlays" option. This worked for me.

on my hero, after loading something like google maps and then pressing the home button... my screen is blank, then the dock, iconless, redraws. eventually icons and widgets appear.
going into the app drawer then, that too builds itself out as apps get discovered during what seems like a full launcher reboot.
how can i prevent this?
Which Rom and launcher?

cm7.1 stable, which comes with adw launcher. i have also tried zeam launcher and it's the same story.
Oh omg, didn't notice the thread title
Have you tried reflashing Rom with cache and dalvik wipe? Or check keep launcher in memory in cm settings -> performance?

i have yes. still get the problem.
Yeah i had the same issue with this rom, i also had difficulty signing in to my google account, it kept asking me for the details every time i restarted my phone.
Switched to CM_hero_full-230, which is a nightly build, no problems so far
for the record i have given up on this. i am trying a nightly or just another rom.
Hey,
My i9300 seems to be slightly laggy. Especially things like scrolling through the launcher etc. My friend (SGS2 stock user) noticed it instantly that the phone is sluggish. :/ It looks like its dropping some frames during the scrolling.
I'm currently on OMEGA 8.1 with stock kernel, but I've tried 7.0, 7.1 and Siyah kernels before. I've tried underclocking, overclocking (1500), undervolting. I did a wipe data/factory reset yesterday and again today, but the issue remains. Although, even after the wipe, most of the files (photos, apps) stay on the SD card. How and should I clean it completely? Can it be caused by some cracked apps? I have literally installed like two which I don't use anymore. It is okay after rebooting for some time, I guess. It was lag-free after installing jelly bean animations on 7.1.
I think I'm going to try out CM9 or paranoidandroid.
Stock launcher works fine by me, no lags.. With apex I have lags to. So now I use Nova launcher, I think its perfect.. No more lags over here.. Hope this works for you..

- I tried both enabling and disabling cache from omega kitchen files
- Im currently on default 8.1 OMEGA kernel. I was using 1.3.5, 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 before
I was using the PARANOID rom paired with Siyah 1.3.8 for the last two days and I enjoyed it. No animations issues anymore, tablet-like UI was pretty cool too. On the other hand, battery life wasn't as good, GTA3 was stuttering sometimes too. Really cool rom anyway.
I installed the OMEGA9 + Siyah 1.3.8a today. I did a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset -> wipe cache -> wipe dalvik -> format /system) but the laggy animations issue persists. Everything works fine besides the animations in the launcher (both nova and twiz)
Should I completely format the SD card? All the applications data etc. are still there, maybe that's the issue?
Seems like it was an OMEGA issue. PARANOID was lag-free and so is the FoxHound ROM. Going to stick with this one - great performance, battery life and looks really good.
Try turkbey or checkrom 3.5 runs quite good..
if u wanna go for cm9,then try insanity rom. Only 86mb and insanely fast and stable
Edit:Ooh as u can see in my sig i recommend siyah
Does anyone have an SGS3 that's actually faster than an SGS2? I'm itching to ugprade but everytime I demo someone's SGS3 it sucks big time. Nothing but lag and stuttering EVERYWHERE.
i installed cm9 a while back for my friend but know she wants the continous or loop home screen scroll that is present on the stock SII rom is there a way to get this without haveing to install anothe rlauncher??
if not is there a way to get a launcher that wont modify so much of the trebuchet launcher that cm9 uses??

Must be somewhere in Trebuchet Options at Settings (not sure, cause CM9 is a long time ago). If this option isn't available, try Nova Laucher or Apex Launcher..

If it's not there, you will have to try some other launcher I'm afraid... But both Apex and Nova have a stock Android interface (but you have to set up your homescreens again).

ok tahnk you will try those and a friedn also recomended spb shell 3d which changes the interface but can do pretty cool stuff for a price.
any way do yyou all know if CM10 for the i9100 has it?
I go to the app drawer and I cannot long press add widget to home screen, even though I can long press the home screen to change wallpaper
Any suggestions?
Do you get any messages? Did you try rebooting or wiping dalvik and cache or also try to fix permission? Stock launcher or third party launcher?

Yeah, all my connectivity is fine, and If I download new apps with their own widgets while waiting in the widget drawer, I can drag a single one out, which is quite annoying to be honest. I thought it was the launcher at first too but maybe it's just the build? flashed an earlier nightlies and it works fine.
I got this with Trebuchet too. I just switched to Apex (which is much better in my opinion anyway) and widgets can be placed normally.
Hmm

I Enjoy Trebuchet.. runs nice on the tiny cm10.1 roms... Allows me to do all that I need
Hello guys,
I newly installed Android 4.4.2 with Cyanogenmod 11 on my s2 and I am facing some problems. First to say is that I use the PhilZ Kernel v5.15.9 and Cyanogenmod-version 11-20140418-NIGHTLY-i9100. The Trebuchet Launcher is making some problems. Every time I restart the device some widgets and shortcuts on the home screen are removed and the screens are reset to a shortcut order of a certain time. Same with the app drawer, if I want them to be arranged by date installed, the setting will go back to sort by name after a restart. In addition the music player is having some flaws and will not start a song, or just completely crash. I know these are just minor problems and I am happy in general about 4.4.2 on my S2, I just want to know if these problems are normal, and if, when it can be thought that they will be corrected? Do you recommend me using a other launcher, as I have read that the trebuchet launcher in cm11 is not done yet, while the launcher from cm10.2 had much more setting options.
I have another question regarding "Snapshot". Is it a rom, similiar to the nightly kit kat versions? What advantages/disadvantages does it have?
Best regards,
Haris

I also had problems with Trebuchet, but they are different and major. The launcher suddenly stops working and I have to reboot my phone.

I didn't have any problems with the music player, but I recommend Google Play Music app.

I installed Google Now Launcher because it is almost the same, but then switched to Nova when I found it even better (in my opinion).

The snapshot is supposed to be a more stable version of the nightly. But in this case specifically, I flashed the snapshot yesterday, and I didn't have except problems from it. I don't recommend installing it. I don't get a single notification, something is wrong with the power button (doesn't get all options, only reboot and power off), and the Home button doesn't work at all, not even a long press. If the nightly version you are on now is good, don't update.
