Hey guys,
So I recently started using go launcher ex and I really like it with the exception that whenever the keyboard was used, going back to home screen makes it flicker for a second.
The screen basically resizes but it's a visible hiccup and I dont like it.
Anyone else experience this?
I tried different keyboards but they all do it...
Any idea how to fix it?
I don't have that problem. However I did using adw launcher

I'm experiencing very slow screen rotation when I re-orientate my Tab, especially on my main home screen.I have two widgets and a bunch of icon on there, and if I turn my Tab 90° it takes around 3-4 seconds to react, then I get a black screen for another second or two, then the icons re-appear, then another second later, the widgets.
I get the impression that the rotation is quicker on a homescreen with no widgets but full of icons, but it's still rather slow.
The original launcher also isn't really amazingly fast on rotation, but it's a good deal faster than adw. In the (native) browser, screen rotation is almost instantaneous, btw.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to speed up the rotation on the homescreen? It's annoying like this, because the Tab is often in landscape orientation when I take it out of my coat pocket, then I have to wait several seconds before it'll react to anything.
Is it using alot of cpu in taskmgr?

Not really. It's using quite a bit of RAM (~24MB) but only about 0.9% CPU.
Btw, here's a short video to illustrate what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjpum75xpZk
(Sorry for the bad quality, shot with my trusty old G1 - btw, I'm rotating Portrait -> Landscape in the Video, but the video is rotated 90°)
I'm currently using adw.launcher and my rotation is perfectly fine with lcd density changes and widgets stretched and multiples on single screens.
It's odd that yours is so very slow. Did you root it and do the lag fix? Or do you have a scrolling widget active and have it forcing draw on orientation? Maybe use ti backup and check your running processes.

funny, I tested 2 widgets yesterday (1 clock + 1 bat) and i notice rotating screen would be sluggish, so i checked ADW cpu usage was jumping around 50-80%
i ended up removing both widgets, and have not experienced it again..
And if u go thru the adw-settings and turn off all the eyecandy and restart what happens then?

Rooted yes (z4root) but no lag fix...which one would you recommend?
Also, I just notice that it gets quite a bit quicker when I use one of the stock wallpapers instead of my own 1200x1024 image. Looking into that now.
Have u tried switching back to stock launcher to compare if the same issue apears, or ex. Zeam launcher?
i recommend no lagfix...never testet it.

Ok, so the wallpaper seems to be the main culprit. When using a stock wallpaper, both adw and the stock launcher perform about equally. I've also applied the OCLF, but don't notice any difference.
Did u notice the dpi for your custom background, maybe scale it down to 72dpi if its higher..
those who tested the lagfix on the tab did not notice anything either, but higher bench scores..
There is often a considerable amount of lag when switching from portrait (my main use) to landscape (mostly used for reading PDF or EPUB text, and sometimes for web-browsing). Clearly the refresh of shortcut icons and widgets appears to be the culprit, it doesn't seem related to background rendering. I tried various combinations of graphical settings, to no avail. I am running 200 LCD density, but I had the same problem with the original value (240).
Note: I use ADW.Launcher mainly because of the "categories/groups" feature, which makes it a *lot* easier to organize my 200+ applications. The other features are pretty much the same as all the other launchers.
People say the lag fix is unecessary since stock tab is quite snappy, but i recently uninstalled it and noticed a slow down with redraws on my screens with adw.launcher. Agreed though any launcher will slow down with more icons/widgets. Especially those that have been stretched by adw

ADWLauncher - I turn off the animations and turn the delays and
overshoot down as far as they will go. I also make the drawer
background flat black with no transparency. Makes for a VERY fast
launcher. I also set the "System persistent" option in "System
Preferences". That seems to help keep Android from killing it off.
Returning to home is dawn near instant now.
System animations (Settings->Display->Animation) is set to "No
Animations". Again, makes things faster and I get bored watching the
redraws.
First: I know it's standard for the home screen not to rotate or go into landscape. I'm not asking how I can get it.
Second: I am NOT looking for suggestions on how to get it, so please don't say [this] launcher can do it, download it [here].
Third: There is no third.
So I've got a Thunderbolt and so does a friend. She really wanted the home screen to rotate and I told it it won't happen. Well, she just came and showed me hers rotating! She said she kicked the stand out, set it on her desk and it rotated to landscape! Mine definitely, as it's supposed to, does not rotate.
I did a quick Google search and could only find on thread on the Android Central boards with people saying it's rotating for them. Then a bunch of people starting blabbing about other launchers that will let you. That has no relevance to the situation at hand, we all know third party home launchers usually give that option. Others also mentioned bringing the keyboard out, but holding down menu on the home screen doesn't even do that, so that's a no-go either. Plenty of stupid people on the internet...
They did however mention the stock background may be a common thing, and also the mention of widgets got me intrigued. However, I don't have any non-stock widgets on mine. I have however changed the background and the skin. She hasn't. We both have auto-rotate on in the settings.
Other than that, I'm at a loss! Is anyone else able to get the home screen to rotate?
some launchers such as launcher pro and ADW launcher allow the homescreens to rotate into landscape mode. so you very likely saw someone running launcher pro.
[Mod Edit] Did you read? I hate to come across like an asshole but I made it VERY clear that it's NOT a home launcher. It's stock as I said, and I am VERY aware that 3rd party home launchers allow rotation.
Great attitude to have when asking a q on a forum.
Ot: my homescreen rotates but I'm using launcher pro.

My stock home screen rotates when docked in the car dock. I think this is how most that say theirs rotate are referring too

Yeah, that could have been what they were referring to as well.
From my understanding it's just a magnet in the dog that enables the dock mode. My friend didn't say anything about the dock app launching up, or anything other than she just popped out the kick stand, set it on it's side and the homescreen rotated. It is possible it opened and she backed out of it without thinking about it.
But even after she picked it up and closed the stand it kept doing it. Maybe her phone somehow got tricked into thinking it was docked the whole time... ?
Default
Do you mean that when she turns the phone on its side the screen also rotates to landscape? If so, this is just an option in the settings menu. To auto-rotate the home screen.

that only rotates the screen in menus and not the physical homescreen as if you had a keyboard present and slide it out

I'm having with my brand new transformer where like half the screen appears black when I set up a background for it. It works perfectly fine when I'm using a live wallpaper but any other wallpaper even one of the ones that came with it doesn't work. I just started having this problem today. I've done a couple regular resets and they didn't do anything. Would prefer not to do a hard reset as I just set everything up the way that I wanted it. Any and all help is appreciated.
p.s I'm not rooted or anything. This is a completely stock Transformer running android 3.2. I've only had it for like 3 days.
I had that same issue when I used Perfect Viewer (comics app) and told it to set my background from a screen capture in the program. After that all new backgrounds I tried were cut off.
Solution for me was to uninstall perfect viewer but found out later that there is a scaling and cropping check box in the app that causes this to happen when checked. Maybe that's your issue?

Peace All,
I have the paid version of Nova Launcher and I have noticed when orienting screen (changing it from vertical to horizontal or vice versa) the launcher crashes by either freezing or displaying a pop-up saying "Unfortunately, Internet has stopped".
Has anyone else seen this when switching from vertical to horizontal (or vice versa)? Is this a known bug in Nova? I also notice it does this in Apex as well. In regular TouchWiz i dont get this error....smh
Nobody else is having this problem? I'm trying to troubleshoot to determine if there's something on my end.

I have a slightly different issue with nova launcher, I too have the paid version. I don't have issues with changing orientation however, when I connect Microsoft's new Bluetooth wedge mouse and try to navigate the home screen using it, it crashes every time. I tried it with Samsung's launcher and it works fine.
Not sure if the two problems are related.
Hi,
I just got my OPN and overall I'm very happy with it. One thing is bugging me: the grid size on the home screen limited to 5x6 with OxygenOS. I therefore installed Nova Launcher and configured the grid to my liking. But Nova introduces a not so smooth animation when going from an app to the home screen (swipe up gesture). With OxygenOS the animation is smooth and quick, with Nova some delay is added.
I have tried to override animations with Nova, but it doesn't seem to work, it's stuck on the system default animation.
Anyone else noticed that behavior in Nova?
Bonus question: Since that animation is really annoying me, is there a way to add grid sizes to OxygenOS?
I use Lawnchair, no issues...

I've just tried Lawnchair and the closing app animation is definitely not as smooth as with OnePlus launcher. It's way slower and there is a screen blink/refresh.
Hmm, what refresh rate do you use? Might it be because of it? I use 60Hz, and I have no issue...

Let me guess: you are using gesture navigation and the problem does not occur when you switch to the onscreen buttons?
It's a Android 10 thing, not OnPlus' fault.

That's correct Piotrekk! Switching to onscreen buttons and the problem disappears. I remember now that I had the same problem on my Mate 20 Pro and that I removed a package via ADB to solve the problem...
