Apex performance issue

I bought Apex Launcher because it does everything I want in a launcher but I'm finding sporadic poor performance.
the most noticeable one is when I press the home button sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds to "redraw" the icons on the home screen, and the only icons I have are the 5 in the dock. (no widgets either)
From what I seen about other people praising Apex they don't have similar issues, so does anyone have any idea why my install of the "pro" version is like that?
(otherwise stock ICS LPY with root Note N7000.)

same issue encounter previously ... moved to other ROM now...
compatible issue perhaps?

Why not try convert Apex to system app (using ROM Toolbox for example), it does make a different.

how to resolve this pb ?

I had the same problem (I flashed LPY twice using Mobile Odin Pro and did a factory reset in an attempt to solve the problem ) and it seems like TouchWiz launcher is in the way.
After I froze TouchWiz launcher using Titanium Backup, Apex works just fine.
@tw15tr:
I did that at the time and it didn't solve my problem so I unticked that option (and still is today)

thanks i go to test

To fix the lag issue just go to advanced settings and select "keep in memory"

Thank you so much. This was happening to me on all ics roms and I was pulling my hair out.
Edit.. I think Yucko was right about tw. What a hero.
Btw required reboot after freeze tw.. Without reboot the issue still happened.

Idea.. The only thing I can think of is that maybe 280dpi on ics is causing this problem? Seems to be the only common denominator...
Update: tried rocket rom ics and this is still happening. Looks like it's gonna be nova launcher.. performance definitely not as good =(

same pb with this grrrrr
i am hungry ollol

so what's going on with jellybean and stuff

i have revolver and the 22.6 kernel by guevor and it is bloody fast, love it at 1.6ghz
no sleep problems, no quirks to worry about, great battery life. i started to see JB betas but the GPS doesn't work. among other things like the screen not turning off when you close the lid.
at this point will jellybean just break more than it fixes if i'm already pretty happy with my TF? honeycomb was pretty slow so i didn't care what broke during a transition to ICS. but now i'm actually very satisfied with ICS.
thoughts? just wait a few weeks for the devs to iron out bugs before switching? the "butter" thing seems to have mixed results

well since i dont use dock and gps. everything is working great. im on eos jb. project butter does bring smoother animation but not stutter free.

I've gone back to ICS for the time being, just too many times freezing in sleep or just plain old screen freezes. I love the heck out of what works, but I'm getting tired of rebooting all the time.

flashed to JB (AOSP #2) since gps was fixed and i love it. sd card has no write permissions though. no sleep issues.
believe it or not it IS a lot faster. a LOT. never would have believed it unless i tried it myself

The problem seems to be in the apps though. Many of the apps keep FCing especially the browsers.
The roms seem to be working great..

Mine was good for a while but steadily started freezing up more often. Looking forward to the new effort.
I did roll back to 7/22 with the new gapps (7/26). Found the voice search feature was not working (it comes up and acts like it wants to work, but never returns results unless you type the question). Anyone else experience this? I changed back to the older gapps (7/15) and it's working again.

First thing I would do if any app acts weird or force closes would to go to settings.. Apps ..find the app.. and clear data. If that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall.
For freezing issues I set my background processes to 2 in dev options. I changed vm heap too. Doesn't completely fix problem but helps out alot for me at least. Settings reset to default after a reboot. I read about this in the Captivate forum I believe and applied it here. I think there having the same issues too with freezing.

I am running the 7/23 ROM with 7/26 GAPP. The longer I am using it the better and longer it is going with out freezing.
When it locks up now it feels like when Windows runs out RAM. It will get slow and choppy if I keep pushing it the phone will freeze. If I exit the app and not push the phone it goes back to normal. I went 5 hours with out a lock up today using about a dozen apps. After the reboot I have played 3 games so far and 3 other apps. No lock up. Exited the one game when I got choppy.

Clear and reinstall of both 7/22 ROM and 7/26 gapps took care of it. (** and once again stopped working... something about this combo... went back to 7/22 JB + 7/15 gapps ...and patiently waiting...)
Also I noticed my Beautiful Widgets were not staying on my home screen after each reboot. They just pushed an update and now it's staying.
So this tells me the Swiftkey keyboard problem (mentioned earlier and nobody responded I believe) will probably be alleviated when they push an update. I am sure a lot of apps are pending Jellybean fixes.
I would go back to trying the 7/23 ROM but as Scott said, ultimately the code is the problem, so usage habits only go so far. Not waking up from a screen off was too much for me to stay with though.

Running cm10 7/23 butter with jbgapps 7/26 background processes 2, VM heap 128. No GPS for me though. Maps opens search works.

Can anyone briefly confirm what's working and what's not? That tends to change based on build/gapps combo, but a brief change log/feature list here would enable Scott and all the other great devs stay focused on their more important things to worry about lol
I would flash it myself and do so if I had time to flash Gingerbread boot loaders. Thanks

In summary...
7/22 ROM + 7/15 gapps - Pretty stable, but definitely slower in all ways (missing Youtube).
7/22 ROM + 7/26 gapps - Voice search broken with this combination.
7/23 ROM + 7/26 gapps - Definitely faster in every way (background process 2 - must set again on boot). Still slows down/freezes for many (mostly with maps/web browsing). Personally experienced lock up after screen off on more than one occasion. No GPS.)
Hope that helps.

Voice search definately not working with this combo. I wonder if its gapps or the combo rom and gapps. If I could get my daughter off the computer long enough to get back to ics I'd check.

I have 7/23 with 7/19 gapps. Will my phone blow up? actually it's butter smooth sans the GPS.

Anyone else having data issues? I'm on 7/22 rom and 7/15. My speeds dropped from roughly 4MB download to less than 1MB download after installing this.
*Also I came from the Yuma Porn Build (40) if that helps or makes a differnce.

Its an I/O error with butter when trying to call the GPU into play while processing graphics request seems to cause looping then a freeze as it runs out ta resources to function.
Just my thought ....

Scott says he should have a build up soon. I am guessing it will be unbuttered.

It has to b something with that combo bc I'm running 7/23 build with 7/26 Gapps and it works perfectly. Really quick at recognizing speech and bringing up the cards.
His summation of the different combos is accurate IMO. 7/23 with 7/26 definitely the best but does still have the occasional freeze. The snappiness of Google Now and that combo in general makes it worth the occasional freeze for me though.
Hoping that Scott's new build that he said is coming soon will have working Voice recognization with the 7/26 Gapps. I'm sure it will bc he seems like a pretty amazing dev from what I've seen.

Butter = insanely smooth
no butter = smooth
The release with butter has a bug that freezes your phone, which is being worked on. The butter release was taken down because of this. The release date of the butter version was 7/23. Install the no-butter one that Scott just uploaded and the 7/15 gapps and you'll be good.

Any tricks for getting Play Music to see the MP3s on my SD card? (7/26 build)
Edit: apparently you have to wait a few hours. They're finally showing up this morning .

Coming from 7/22 CM 10, GAPPS 7/26. Wiped cache, wiped davlik then flashed 7/26 cm10 then 7/26 gapps, no problems after boot.
Google voice search not working. Search works if typed in.

[Q] Keyboard Lag on JellyBean

Hey everyone,
I noticed right off the bat when i upgraded to JellyBean, that there is SIGNIFICANT keyboard lad input when typing in text messages and really everything. this was almost non existent in ICS, at least for me. Now lag I mean at times, I'll type out a message and its a full second delay and ill watch the phone catch up and type all my letters. This occured on the OTA, figured it was crappy stock firmware, So I rooted and ROM'd over to CLEANROM and still hasn't changed. Does anybody else see this!? Its driving me bananas, especially for a galaxy that's the most powerful yet. Any suggestions and or input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Why not use a different keyboard? I have zero lag on swype beta.

When I rooted and rommed my wife's Rezound she also got a lot of lag when typing on her cleanrom. So I paid for SwiftKey and never looked back. SwiftKey is awesome and it elimated the keyboard lag and the word prediction is way better than stock. I would give the free trial a shot and see how it goes.

I had the same issue.
Solved it by installing setCpu and changing governour.
Afterwards using Greenify and Autostarts to Freeze and Hibernate.
My Launcher is Nova Launcher Premium.
Last thing I did, was Installing LagFix Premium and everything was fine.
My Phone runs smooth and everythings fine.

Does this really worked for you? I reseted my phone but still hsve some lag in JB 4.1.2 and I only have used 1GB of the 8GB usable, so I don't understand, no App is causing the issue. I think this is the software, JB 4.2.2 run smoothly. But I'll try this steps, thanks man.

Does it lag anywhere other than the homescreen? The stock launcher on my phone was super laggy.

All of that, when it is more noticeable is when I press the home button to get to the homescreen (it almost takes 10 seconds to show all aps) If I happen to be able to take a screenshot, I will post it here.

I was able to get a screenshot and here it is. You can see the lag on the clock, temperature and battery widget

I remember reading another thread and there's a widget in the play store that is fully customizable into looking like the circles widget. I believe it's called uccw.
Make sure you reboot your phone every day or two, this solved a lot of my lag issues. Other launchers never helped me.
