suddenly crashing today

So I updated a few apps (colorize widget, Go Launcher, and a news app) shortly after, I start having crashing issues. when the lock screen comes up, it gives me the message to swipe one direction to start using the phones, or swipe down to adjust settings, as if it was the first time I turned on my phone after buying. problem is, after I swipe either way, it freezes halfway through the opening animation, then the screen goes black for several seconds, then I see my home launcher restarting, reloading widgets and all. shortly after that, I re-receive the most recent text message i'd gotten. this repeats and repeats, I've tried a few times now.
I thought the Go Launcher update was the problem, but it happened after switching to Launcher Pro as well. any ideas what's causing?

Having different launchers and a lot of widgets can bog down your system, especially GO launcher. I would suggest heading over to the development section and rooting + custom rom. You can check fawkreview's bible thread for eveything you need to do, it will make your phone twice as fast and you shouldn't have issues like that anymore.

Newly downloaded apps installing strangely

Okay this is a strange problem I am having. After a newly downloaded app from the Play Store completes the install, my phone automatically slides over to the Google Now page to the left of the main home screen. And then, after I reboot my phone, the new app/s that I have downloaded show up on a new home page to the right of the last filled home page.
This is in contrast to how my Galaxy S4 did things. After a new app installed on my S4, the phone would automatically slide over to the new home page (assuming my other pages are full) and would automatically place the new apps there.
SO I guess my question is, is this supposed to be happening? It seems odd that it is automatically bringing me to the Google Now page and not placing the app icon on my home pages until after I restart my phone.
I hope this question makes sense to someone. Thank you.

Notification Menu Lag

Whenever I receive a text or Google hangouts message, I normally pull down the notification Menu and tap the message to take me to the chat (within Google hangouts app). I've noticed when accessing a message from the notification panel, there is very long lag/delay until the actually message opens up. Anyone know what might be causing this ?

I've noticed this too, it was also happening to me on the s6 edge.
Its the way that Samsung has its memory management set up. It basically closes the app and when you relaunch it, it has to start up fresh. Same thing happens if you start up an app normally, hit the home button and try going back into the app. Especially if its a larger app like a game. The phone closes it out to keep the system memory free. If you are rooted, try this, will probably fix the issue for you guys http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-note-5-t3189907

With hardware like this I'm shocked that it has this issue. My nexus 5 blazes through app switching and notifications with no lag, maybe a software patch will come in the future.

I totally agree. My Nexus 6 had no issues either.
This is actually caused by the 5 second delay built into Android. Basically, there's a 5 second window after pressing Home (from another app) that the system won't launch/open an activity (opening Hangouts after pressing Home and then tapping a notification from the drawer). It goes as far back as 1.6: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4536
Here's an Xposed module to prevent the 5 second delay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/stopswitchdelay-remove-5s-delay-to-apps-t2688574

Apps slow to load

Has anyone else had an issue with apps being slow to load from the home screen?
Y'know, how when you click an app, it'll immediately go into the animation and start loading? Well with a few select apps for me (mostly browser apps like Chrome and Brave, but sometimes with Facebook and others) there's a slight pause between when I click on the app and when the animation starts.
It's almost as if there's a latency issue, but it only happens when opening those apps from the home screen. If I'm clicking open a link in facebook, or loading from a google search, or toggling apps from the recent apps page, the delay isn't present at all.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? It's kind of annoying as the S7 and S8 are the only devices I've used in years now where this has been a problem.

Location problem

Over the last views days I've started to notice that when I unlock my pixel 2 the location icon appears in the notification tray when I start a app like XDA or Facebook the icon disappears and when I press the home button to go back to my home screen it comes back straight away. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I've noticed the same since yesterday. Location icon shows up every minute or so. I ended up disabling advanced location.
I've disabled location completely. I'm guessing it's a Google app that is causing it but not sure which, the only ones I've updated recently are YouTube, health services, play music, Google and keep.
Edit
Looks like a issue with the Google app. I uninstalled it and the went back to normal, when I updated it the problem came back.
I had the same issue, turns out it was the Google beta app for me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled the stable version
