Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.

the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

Not sure but what is the build number? LF2?
Yeah LF2, solved my issues straight away even with a different launcher

Yeah, I'm on fl2? Oddly enough I only got one firmware update though. Is that correct? My build number is IMM76D.I9300XXALF2

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Been looking in the forum and found this issue under another heading. I fixed it by rooting and changing the davlik VM heap size from 256 to 128mb. How did Samsung manage to screw this up?

Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

God knows but as with any phone there are always issues at first. As long as they are resolved then it's not a big deal

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

If I have time, i will try to compile AOSP 4.3 for our hd2. That is just a MAYBE, since i DON'T really have much of free time.

I have been developing on a less known manufacturer based phones, but i didn't get much attention, so i have quited. Then i was searching for another device, and got hd2 from someone(for free ). Currently im using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126053 .
Most stable i could find . Maybe (if i DO have some time) It won't be the best jelly bean rom out there xD
in my op they have a working version for us (alpha version). just a heads up to those interested

So which one do we download (if we're on a stock 4.2.2 ROM).... v1.4 or v1.5alpha2 ?

I'm on the 1.5 and its working. but SMS does not work if you are using the stock touchwiz sms. this is because it wakes the screen when you get a message so that ruins it. but hangouts, emails, instagram, etc work fine for me
I disabled Stock SMS notifications and I'm using 88SMS for stock 4.2 look

For the TTS problem, did you uninstall Samsung TTS and Talk back? The voice-over is really annoying

mine never had the problem but I'm not sure why yours did though. the Dev may respond on the thread from my op. he seems pretty set on keeping it updated and fixing bugs.

I think the talkback is just an accessibility bug for samsung devices. Only happens when an app is using accessibility.
dev claims to have fixed the Samsung SMS bug. haven't tried it yet.
added several new options. most notably (for me) was the option to use this as the lock screen. went ahead and went premium!
The solution is simple and just install Dynamic Notifications Aap from Google Play Store.
Check out the video to find out that how you can install the app and what does it do.

Hello
I rooted my Sony xperia Z ultra (c6833) a couple of weeks ago, I now have a problem with my wallpaper?
My wallpaper keeps reloading when I push the home button! Has anyone experienced something similar to this? If so, please help!
Thanks
Sent from my C6833 using xda app-developers app
That's probably launcher redrawing, and I've noticed it happening a couple of time on mine too. It's pretty much Android that kills the launcher at one point, which it shouldn't do, so I guess Sony will have to up the priority of the launcher in an update.
I believe I read a post somewhere here that mentioned a way to temporarily fix this issue, but I'm not sure if it was @hamdogg or @blueether

Wasn't me so you will have to blame @hamdogg
Yeah I always blame my dog too...
There is a way using build.prop to keep the launcher in memory, but with android 4.*.* it is anyway so that won't help. You could try it, but theoretically it shouldn't help.
Add the following line into your build.prop file:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
Could the problem be fixed if I were to unroot, or wipe and reset my device?
I have attached a picture of the wallpaper issue (the black line down the lefthand side)

That's not even close to what i thought the problem was. Have you updated to the newest Album version (which was released yesterday)? Also, try using QuickPic or something to set your wallpaper. Lastly, go to Settings -> Apps -> Home -> Clear Cache and data (this will clear all homescreen widgets, app sorting etc.)

woah... yeah thats not what I thought you meant either.
Umm... never seen that before.
I guess flashing the FTF again and then rooting. Then test drive it a few hours before installing apps.
My guess its an app or something thats doing that. Shouldn't happen. Never seen it before...
(Oh actually.. on my custom ROM it did that. But that was when i was mashing two basebands together to get the best of both worlds. my own frankinstein so to speak. ran like a dogg to... )

I'm fine, thank you! You haven't really missed that much around here. Things are running as usual, and the latest "hot new thing" is of course 757 and Doomlord's kernel. I also read 20 minutes ago that a new ZU firmware (761) is certified, so we're probably getting yet another bugfixer soon.

You could make the "OOM" (out of memory) higher. Several root apps give the opportunity to do this. You could also add an exception for the launcher in one of those apps.

Yeah, I'm doing OK, work has slowed down, but still busy enough. As LordManhattan said you haven't missed too much except 757 and doomlords kernel for Stock roms. I've just ported @Androguide.fr's pimped kernel, and if it's stable today I'll probably post it publicly tonight - only had one reboot when playing with cpu governers and off line cores.
Back On Topic...
Not seen anything like that except when I badly deodexed the 290 firmware
I have managed to rectify the issue. The problem resolved itself after deleting a wallpaper app.

My home screen tab is greyed out. Can't seem to find a setting that allows the home screen tab to be accessed. I have not gotten any UI updates, and galaxy apps did not have any updates, I checked it several times. Maybe they will push it soon to VZ Note 8's, dunno.

Are you saying you installed the .apk and don't see a change? Maybe a reboot? I installed it and it works fine, T-Mobile version.
