I own a SM-G925I with Android 5.0.2 and am facing major scroll lag when having widgets that can scroll in the TouchWiz home screen. I was wondering if anybody is facing the same issue and if there is any fix I can apply to mitigate this problem. The lag appears only when scrolling the widget content and not the home pages or anything else.
The issue will not be there when I use a different launcher app like Nova or ActionLauncher. And I'm looking for a way to fix this while still using TouchWiz since this time around I really want to give TouchWiz a go rather than just swapping it out for a better launcher, since I feel that Samsung is at least trying to make their launcher match up to the competition.
Steps to re-create widget scroll lag:
1. Add "Music" app widget into a TouchWiz home screen page.
2. Touch and hold the "Music" widget and let go to get the resize lines enabled on the widget.
3. Now resize it height-wise until you can see the songs in the scroll pane on the widget.
4. Apply changes and try to scroll through the songs using the "Music" Widget to see if you have any lag.
This will happen no matter what widget I use, which has a scroll panel.
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi!
Im wondering why i cant place a 4x1 snowstorm widget on my home screen?
Its all empty but it says "there is no more space on this startpage" (translated)
Im using launcher pro för my menubar in the bottom.
He just downloaded the app to try out, it works fine on stock touchwiz. so id guess it is a launcher problem.
try loading TW and see if you can install it on that homescreen.
i dont have launcher pro installed but i would check its options for something like home screen grid and check that it is set to something like 4x4, a quick way to check if you dont want to dig though options is to see how many apps you can place on the home screen in a line, if it is only 3 then you know you are in a somethingx3 format.

I've searched around and am unable to find a report of others having this issue. When I try to add a shortcut it closes the add to Home Screen and does nothing else. I am using Folder Organizer and I can add using the widget for this, but I cannot change the icon as it is a widget and not a shortcut. I cannot change the default icon.
The shortcut adding issue occurs in multiple Launchers including ICS+ Launcher and ADW Launcher.
Any tips for how to resolve the Add Shortcut issue or a workaround for it?
You might try AnyCut and see if it can add a shortcut from Folder Organizer to the home screen.
Otherwise this is a common problem with shortcuts not being enabled on the NT. Hopefully someone will find the way of adding this back, the way other functions have been restored. (For example, live wallpapers)
Running CM9 (coffeebeans 4/30 build with latest pershoot kernel) on wi-fi 10.1, using Apex Launcher Pro.
I really enjoyed the old app drawer that didn't eat up the entire screen. In the new update, the apps in the app drawer take up the whole screen (similar to Nova Launcher, very different from Trebuchet). This is annoying because I love tapping the left or right of the screen to fast-switch app drawer screens. Yes I know technically the feature is still there, but more often than not, I hit an app instead of making the screen change because the space is so small now (beefy thumb syndrome).
Anyone here know if there's an option to go back to the old app drawer look? I posted at the Apex forum, but that place is a ghost-town filled with pr0n
Someone has got to have made this but I can't seem to find it. I'm using a "hubs" layout (one screen for social media, one for productivity etc) and I'd like to essentially have a horizontally scrollable launcher widget on each screen with apps that make sense for that hub.
Currently using simi folder widget which is cool, but I'd prefer the launcher bar that is activated by clicking on the folder to live in a widget right on the home screen.
Could anybody point me to a widget app like this? I'm pretty sure I saw a video where someone had this but didn't see details on what they were using. Thanks!
Edit: sorry if this would have been better posted in themes and apps. Please move if necessary.

If I'm understanding you then what you're looking for is a dock that can display icons that are specific to the current page? Something close would be Nova launcher which provides a scrollable dock. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

Thanks, I'm currently using Apex and I really like it. I don't want just 1 dock (no matter how many pages on it you can scroll through). I want a different set of apps in a horizontally scrolling launcher bar widget. Then I could put an instance of this widget on each of my homescreens with different apps in each one. Then when I swipe from my "Office" homescreen to my "Photo" or "Video" homescreens this "launcher" widget has the appropriate apps for that hub. Hopefully that makes sense.
Like I said, simi folder widget is pretty good for this kind of setup, but I thought there might be a better solution out there.
When I try to add a zoomed widget in the same area as my weather widget, the weather widget was pushed off the screen and I can't get it back. Sure I can just try to make a new one but it's still running somewhere off the screen. Is there a way to list all widgets you have on screen? And delete them in that list? Or from a list default them to center of screen? I know the themer widgets can stack so why are they moving on their own? This is especially true if I try to edit a theme I download. As soon as I press configure or resize or add something the theme goes ape **** and everything just moves. Not using a custom dpi. Stock Rom galaxy note 3.

Hi vitessex,
We're not too sure how this happens, as testing it now reveals that a widget cannot push another one off the screen. However in your unlucky case, we suggest going into Themer's main settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Allow overlapping Widgets. This should then just cause the widgets to overlap instead of jumping around.
Which downloaded themes are causing this? Most new themes should have the overlapping widget setting enabled to prevent this issue.

It seems to do it with all the themes I have downloaded. And even happened on the one I am making myself. But currently I will show an example with the theme "Coordinate." The overlapping Widgets option is enabled and this is what happens when I add a widget or edit in any way really.

I see. There might have been a bug during installation. Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Let me know how this goes.
