[FIX?] apex launcher redraws/black screen issues - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

Hello, this morning i have found some build.prop tweaks for launcher,ofcourse i have tested it and my conclusion is: using about 2hours and it is working a bit smoother and without redraws.
here are those two lines which i have added to build.prop
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
ro.HOME_APP_MEM=40960
i have chosen 40960 because apex launcher uses about 35mb so i reserved 40mb for safety ;D 40*1024=40960 ;D
would be cool if you would test and leave feedback, lets try dennis to improve apex launcher for galaxy note users
edit: even force stopping it through settings/applications/running and going back to home screen it doesnt give any redraw

So anyone tested?

Thanks your posting..
I applied this method to my phone..
I hope that this method is working well.

also mine feedback is positive

Unfortunately, I experenced redraw situation with this method.
But its frequency obviously decreases.

atleast it decreased btw the main thing was- to get rid of black screen issue (which means the screen goes completely black and it takes a long time (sometimes > 5 seconds) to reload everything) have you got it?
i dont have redraws a lot because i made cpu up-treshhold 60% which gives better/faster cpu increasement

so far so good
so far so good, before this fix i was having atleast 10 blackscreens a day now after i did this fix it seems much much better.I am running Apex on KingDroid v2.0 with XLR1 modem and SpeedMod kernel.
Thanks, I will report if something goes wrong.

hi
as i am new to this but facing similar issues with apex launcher.
getting several redraws and force closes(crashes) on my galaxy note.
Please help me in understanding how i can follow the steps to fix the issue or maybe reduce the force closes.

To fix launcher redraw, read the second post of V6 Supercharger thread and get your services.jar supercharged!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276

"Whatcha talking about Willis?" Sorry, showing my age.
I have not really noticed any issues with Apex. But then I am running Paranoid, checked keep in memory, upped the transition speeds, set transitions to none, turned off dithering and turned on 16 bit transparency. I'm sure the rom has some memory modes to.
When I was running Rocket Rom or some other GB Rom, can't remember, I do recall seeing redraws of a few seconds occasionally. Since I have gone to a CM9 based rom I have not seen it.
I'll give it a try, more memory could not hurt the app.

V6 Supercharger. This will make your SK4G smoother and get rid of launcher redraws!

Saw this while reading my rss feeds and decided to give it a try. Overall the sidekick was slow when switching between apps and when going back to home screen(screen takes time to redraw-icons and widgets)
This script was pretty easy to do/apply and is supposed to work on stock and custom roms. Obviously its working for me on ayoteddys gingerclone with root.
I suggest you all try this out. Multitasking has become more satisfying.

Yeah, the instructions are very thorough and it's not complicated, only thing is in script manager (free) it's hard to see the full menu and when you touch to scroll it inputs characters but all that takes is a little deleting

Lock screen lag still seems to be there for me a bit, better than it was for sure but I have only tried one setting which I posted earlier, there are a ton of tweaks and hopefully over the next few days we can figure out the best setup for our device. Landscape to portrait is smooth as butter for me

I followed this visual step-by-step tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940. For speed I chose 1 (fast). Then I chose #2, aggressive 1. Then I reboot. When I check if the script is working it prompts me to choose all the stuff again rather than showing the screen as shown on Step 8. When I repeat the same process anyway the current and previous minfrees are different, Current being higher.
Are the settings sticking after reboot? Did I do something wrong? Because when I switch orientation in GoLauncher EX widgets still refresh at the same speed before applying the script.
I've noticed a huge change in lack of lag after running this on aggressive 1 (option 2) there's barely any lag between exiting apps and returning to home now or switching between them its soooo nice hehe
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
So far I'm happy with Agressive 1. There's still that slight lag on the lock screen, and the Jump Menu is still laggy, but it's definitely a big improvement over the pre-supercharged performance.

This is a low risk script, you have more of a chance of screwing things up from rooting/flashing roms and the dev is trusted. Just make sure you read instructions and are confident when taking the steps and you will be fine. I've only tried one setting "aggressive 1" but so far so good and I will be testing another later and reporting differences.
Dunno what 3g turbocharger is, I might give it a shot but if it has to do with internet connection I'm in a wifi or 4g zone 99% of the time so a 3g booster wouldn't do anything for me.

I didn't use the visual tutorial, but it sounds like you used the same method I did. You should DEFINITELY notice a difference so it sounds like it's maybe it didn't work. I am on gingerclone with launcherpro so it could possibly be a golauncher issue, is anyone else running with golauncher?

I just tried golauncher and it seems to be working just as fast as adw and launcher pro when using this script. Do u have that task manager widget that comes with golauncher? try taking that off.
What about returning to home screen after running a couple of app... does your go laincher still take time to load?
Performance should be noticeable after running script.

I will try uninstalling the Go task widget. Returning to the homescreen has always been fast ever since running the script. So that I did notice.
As for the minfree keeping their settings after reboot, I ran that 99-whatever.sh file as a script, found in root-data, and ran as root and boot as troubleshooted in the help html file in the sd root. But I took that off and will unSuperCharge and SuperCharge again just to start clean.
EDIT: Btw, having task managers will interfere with the script, that's you asked about the Go Launcher task manager, right? If so, I'm using ZD Box, which is a multi-feature app, such as task killer, password protection, 3G monitor, battery status, and more. Will having this installed interfere much with the script?

Phones performance decreases significantly after about a day of use.

Hi all, so far I've repeated this process with the same results about a day later multiple times with vahalla 1.2 and latest FTW.
Procedure: kc1 clean up with odin, odin GB boot loaders, flash kg4 kernel with cwm, flash vahalla 1.2 through cwm, disable voodoo, let boot and sit 15mins, reboot recovery, factory reset, enable voodoo, boot and hear linda, let phone sit for 10mins, reboot recovery, flash sasv7 and kh2 modem, reboot and let sit for 5mins, reinstall all apps plus data with titanium backup, remove tw4.5 and add launcherpro, then restore launcher pro settings and homescreen layout, then dsextons* uv settings with tegrak, finally I use mobile terminal and run the the command the keeps lp in memory and therefore stops homescreen redraws.
-These are the steps I take to install a new rom from a clean state. Everything runs super smooth. Quad scores around 23-2400. No lag, very responsive.
-The problem is after about one day, the phone becomes almost glitchy/ laggy. It freezes from time to time and is overall not very responsive. Quad scores drop to 11-1200 overnight.
-My question is what could be causing this on a rom that everyone seems to have such positive results.
-My thoughts are its the script that I ran. But then how do I stop homescreen redraw. I get it a lot with launcher pro and adw. I dislike tw very much.
-or it could be restoring all my apps with TB
-or maybe the order in which I'm installing the rom..
-I'm at a loss, and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
Edit: The script used in terminal.
$ su # echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop
SOLVED-------------
-So for about a day now I've been playing with my phone and can attribute the problem to launcher pro and my settings.
for those interested I had turned up the home screen scrolling speed from 5 to 9 and the same with the app drawer opening speed under launcher pro. I think this, plus my ultra low UV settings caused my phone to be unstable. this is honestly just a guess. but ive had no problems for about a day now. the script provided, not running the UV so low; although still UV, and not messing with LP settings are the only things that ive changed. so far so good, but only time will tell. thanks for all the help everyone. Oh and no redraws either =]

do you get homescreen redraws at stock voltage? I don't get any kind of homescreen redraw with TW4.5 on valhalla 1.1 I'm also undervolting, but using my own settings, which are not as low as dsextons, which didn't work for me since I didn't flash his SAS.
I had frequent issues with LP when using one restored through Titanium - freezing after every boot etc.... Deleted (wiped caches too), and re-downloaded from the market and the problem went away. Makes no sense that it should do this, but it did make a difference for me. Same issue and solution on my wife's SGS4G.
I love LP so was very happy when it started behaving itself.
May or may not work for you but worth a try.
Edit: I am running Valhalla 1.2 with Dsex's undervolt settings and V7 Tweaks.
yes i still get homescreen redraws on stock voltage. but not nearly as often
with my above configuration minus the script, it redraws if i use any heavy app for more than a minute (navigation, emulator, ect.)

[Q] Lag with new 4.0.4 ICS?

I'm suffering lag on my Nexus S i9020a after the OTA update to ICS. Most of the time the launcher lags when switching from page to page. However sometimes it will be completely fluid. It's strange... It goes away after boot but then it comes back again. I noticed that I don't get lag on the stock wallpapers..? Anyways, it's very frustrating. For example, right now my phone is running smoothly, but in a matter of minutes it will start to lag again..
Also I was rooted before the update and when I updated I lost root but still had the superuser app.. Could that have something to do with the lag or something?
Any help would be GREATLYappreciated.
THANKS
Anyone?? Please??
I never noticed stock 4.0.4 is smoother than 4.0.3 ... And 4.0.4 potentiolly slower a bit .... But for sure 4.0.3 was god damn smooth for me and no lag at all...BTW I don't keep too much stuffs and apps because I don like slow systems ... A reset to factory and wipe everything can be useful ...
And to tell you the truth , I am started to feel that this Nexus S is dying for me for its very inferior data capability , rediculus 200-300ms pings and awful DL and UL speed compaired to SII or the T mobile blaze 4G

I did a reset twice and deleted the superuser app and it's much smoother. I also stopped killing processes and that helped a lot too. (when you hold down the home button and swipe to get rid of the task)
From my research, I concluded that killing tasks actually slows down the phone in the long run.

Hi! Android has a method to kill processes when it's necesary but installing programmes like "Task Killers" just slow down the system much more (because it stays open in the background) and contradict with the method of Android!

I didn't download a task killer, however I used the built in task viewer to kill the apps and instantly I received lag. Had to reset my whole phone because the lag wouldn't go away.
Frankly I think it's an ICS thing, I get a bit more lag with ICS on the screensaver and such for a brief second or two. It tends to go away pretty quickly though, and scrolling is usually pretty smooth.
xda<3 you seem to be a guy who likes to complain too much...You wanted ICS and now you got it ... Nexus S is a 17 month-old phone,thank god you have it and remember many similar devices or even better didn't...
Here I'm using Steve Garon's kernel, for my phone was the best choice. I'm also switched the original launcher to Apex, there is no lag when tapping the apps drawer and you can set landscape mode in homescreen, I really like it!

Yeah hopefully.. hopefully it's not my phone acting up or anything. The worst lag I receive is when I open the app drawer. It's such a pain. It lags intensely for a couple of seconds and scrolling through the app drawer is a pain for the first few seconds. Hope this will be fixed in updates.
Try Apex launcher, quicker than stock and comes with tons of settings. I'm a perfectionist too and the lags when oppening the drawer and scrooling menus where gone.

Screen sensitivity adjust in clockworkmod recovery will cause MAJOR lag

I discovered that if I adjust my screen sensitivity under clockwork mod recovery from "default" to "sensitive2" it will cause my captivate to seriously lag. It makes almost everything go hay wire. This is just a resource for anybody else who might have stumbled onto a lagging problem.
I am using the corn 7.06 kernel(thanks mtcarey) and the legend 3.7 ICS ROM(thanks crt60), I have my governor as smartassv2 and my I/O scheduler as SIO. My LMK is at 70mb, instead of 48 default (this will probably change depending on stability).
My captivate has run smoother than it ever has on these settings, with lots of the bloat removed as well.
Can anybody else confirm this?
Corn 7.06 has CWM v5.1.0.7
Yes, I don't think it's lag, but rather that the sensitivity is just messed up. I would check the corn thread, as others may have had this reported.

Thanks, I checked all through the thread corn development thread and couldn't find any posts... I can't post there yet cause i just joined and nobody has thanked me, otherwise I would've posted this there.
I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but the boot time was much longer and every interaction was super slow, like homescreen transitions and such.. I just called it lag, there may be a better name for it...

Are you interested in going into clockwork mod to try and see if you can re create the issue? I'm curious to know if it's just my phone + tweaks/setup...
I can agree, at the moment I want a stable phone, I use my phone too often for school and stuff to be worrying about errors, besides finals week is next week for me so i need less distractions... I'll wait till I see a smaller bug's list on the ICS rom threads. I want to try it out, but i'm gonna wait.
I don't seem to be getting any lag after setting that tweak. I also have my LMK set at 78, but my governor is set to ondemandb because I found that smartassv2 would be slow to wake up from sleep and ramp up the processor.
Hmmm.. That's interesting.. I wonder what was causing my issue then. I'll try some of the other sensitivity settings later today when i have more free time.
I also tried changing the init.rc tweaks to the system corps tweaks and i got a similar lag which was immediately fixed by switching to no tweaks... I wonder what I'm missing here... If i don't have, any of these tweaks on my captivate is super smooth
Thanks for all your help!
At the moment i seem to be good at finding problems... As time goes i should get better at fixing them on my own and then i wont post silly questions.
Again thanks.

I think those tweaks in tandem with screen sensitivity may be doing something. I had maladroit.tweaks on when this happened

I wasn't using both at the same time, i used them separately. I'm just going leave it be for awhile i think. I'm so happy that it's running so smooth compared to before it was rooted and de bloated.
I'm probably just gonna wait till ice cream sandwich is more stable, or i have a new phone, then I'll mess with that.
Maybe I'll just wait till the galaxy S III. Anybody else excited for the possibilities of this new phone coming up? I guess that would be something for the questions forum though.
If you've got the time, can anybody give a brief description of what these init.rc tweaks are supposed to do as a whole? I read the system changes of each in cwm, but I'm not sure exactly what they do. It's fine if you don't answer, i know it would be a long post, i just wasn't able to find an explanation. I'll thank you if you do give a good explanation though.

ICS is pretty darn stable. It's been that way for months almost. Anyway, I can't really describe exactly what the tweaks do, but I know that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556013 uses some of those tweaks and explains it sufficiently.

By any chance are you running the Thunderbolt tweaks too? I noticed legend seems to run better without the extra tweaks

No, i just now found out about thunderbolt...
I'm pretty stock, i'm on RFS, legend 3.7, corn 7.06, the only tweaks I've kept were the LMK and changing the I/O scheduler and governor.
Thanks again for all your input, i'll hit the thanks button for you guys. You're great for helping a beginner learn for the first time.
I have Thunderbolt tweaks in my ICS ROM. Not sure if they help. AOKP and kernel developers added their own support of these tweaks thru ROMControl, NSTools and Semaphore app. SQLite rebuilder is nice I guess. Zipalign is useless - all apps already zipaligned.

[ROM][MB1][5/28] ZERO v1.2

Completely developed on the device for the device. Not one computer was used.
IF YOUR BATTERY LIFE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU IN THE WORLD THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU!
Battery life hasn't been thoroughly tested and not expected to be great.
Welcome to ROM ZERO.
ZERO was developed for one purpose. SPEED! You will open apps, download, install apps, and browse the web faster than before. This rom is based on USABILITY SPEED and may not show in benchmarks. It's two totally different things. Battery life is not expected to be great but hasn't been tested so please Don't complain about your battery life. I would like some feedback on the battery life but as I said, don't expect much.
This is a stock rom lightly debloated with a few nice tweaks. I have added my yamato performance edition tweaks and some scripting in the frame buffer to help speed things up. This will give you higher frame rates in games and overall speed. Lean kernel is preloaded and completely over clocked including the GPU out of the box. There is no need to lkconfig. The GPU governor is also automatically set to performance mode. There are alot of adjustments made to this rom for speed. It's FAST.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
De-odexed system with ODEXED apps.
Lightly debloated.
Black & white toggles.
Black status bar.
4.2 keyboard.
Menu to kill.
Holo & stock TW launchers.
Adjusted Bluetooth for quicker connections
Complete rewrite of the build.prop and included all of my HWUI settings for speed and a better visual experience.
Frame buffer speed adjustments.
Full HW rendering.
GPU over-clocked.

READ CAREFULLY!!!!
I am NOT responsible for you device. Flash this rom at your own risk!
*ISSUES*
Setup Wizard not loading properly. Hit home button to bypass.
INSTRUCTIONS...
1. Flash in recovery
2. Let the rom settle after it boots. Don't touch your phone for a couple of minutes.
3. Spend your 15 minutes and set your settings and whatever else you usually do after you flash your rom. THEN REBOOT. Things will get even better.
4. Enjoy.

Yes I have always wanted my very own Internet. .lol
Installed this a few hours ago, been playing with it nonstop since then. I love it, but the native wifi tethering does not work. Is there a workaround for this that I'm missing? The wireless tether apps on the market don;t seem to be working, even with changing some settings. Thanks!

I'm going to guess I got a bit carried away with de-bloating. I will check it out. It's something I just never used but I will make it work. Sorry bout that!
Ok I just checked out native tethering but couldn't find any problems. What kind of issue are you having with it?
Not having any luck downloading through the link in the op. Keep getting a downloading error. Is the file hosted anywhere else by chance?? Thanks!

I just posted a dropbox link in the op. See if that works better for you. The original link is working fine for me though.
I can start the hotspot from the status bar on top, but when I connect to my phone, get either a Limited Connectivity error or no connection at all. I can take some screenshots when I get home if that would help, maybe the app has an error log that I can find.
Just flashed, had no issues. Everything seems nice and smooth. Its also visually very smooth. Coming from clean ROM I would say as far as "speed" at least opening apps and such Clean ROM is faster, but Zero is very fluid. No issues with lag. I havent tested much else. So far so good though. Nice work and thanks! Its been kind of quiet on the forums since the S4 came out.
Unfortunately I found an issue this morning with some of the scripts loading. This rom is currently not running as I intended it as far as speed. The update tonight will be a huge difference in performance! Sorry about the bug.
Version 1.2 released.
Fixed scripting.
This will be a noticeable improvement!
Thanks for your patience.
I would love to know what battery life you guys get with this.
Downloading now. I have a gorilla gadgets battery 4500mah idk if that'll be much help tho.

Crap thats a big battery. How much time do you usually get out of that?
Nice! Could you possibly remove Backup Assistant from settings? Always bothers me.
EDIT: Also, it's not allowing the setup wizard to complete. This is the only way to get my apps to auto-restore so could you look into it?

Well it's obviously easy enough to remove the app itself but removing the tab from the settings menu isn't something I have ever dove into yet. For me it's a bit complicated and over my head right now. I'm going to have to read up on setting tabs and learn a bit more about it. Probably in version 5.0 lol.
Edit @Your edit..
Darn another flaw! Ugghhh! Yes I will.
