Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. After the latest Sense Home update, my phone has slowed down when returning to the home screen or opening the app drawer. When I unlock my phone, it takes about two seconds before before the launcher or home screen widgets appear. They used to appear instantaneously. Also, when I go to open the app drawer I see the spinning circle for 2 or 3 seconds before app icons appear. Did this happen to anyone else?

It seems that every few days my Sprint Nexus S gets hung on the home screen, and I can no longer swipe to change screens. If I hit the bottom right and left buttons, I can manually change the screen, but swiping left or right changes nothing.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's getting too bogged down with open apps. Coming from the Epic, I was constantly closing apps from the Program Monitor, which isn't on the Nexus S.
Twice now, out of the clear blue (that I can tell) the ICS Launcher crashed, so my entire desktop disappeared.
I couldn't find a way to restart it, so my only choice was to reboot the tablet, a pain.
Any suggestions...? Or, at least, a way to re-launch the Launcher without rebooting...
Thanks.
Tap the clock in bottom right corner, tap the setting icon, go down to apps, select all, tap on launcher, tap force close, tap the home button a few times.
Desktop should then reload, may need a while as this restarts launcher from scratch including widgets and app drawer.
Happens to me from time to time since ICS update, hopefully a patch will resolve this soon.
So since I can remember, whenever I first launch Blinkfeed launcher after a reboot, it shows up very faint. I have to exit and then hit app drawer button again and then its back to normal. Any ideas on how to disable this? It also happens randomly, but I can always make it do it after a reboot.
I had this issue before root and after.

My Samsung unlocked S7 just received a Nougat update. Looks ncie but one big issue I am having right away (and feel stupid I cant figure out):
I can no longer remove App Shortcut Icons from my home screen (using Apex Launcher). Used to be I long press on the icon and have an option to drag to "Remove".
Now when I long press I have option to Uninstall the app, but not to just remove the icon from my home screen pages. Any help?
EDIT/UPDATE: Totally weird. The "Remove" option has not reappeared and I can again delete icons from the home screen.
Hi Guys,
I just recently bought the U11 and I noticed that when double clicking the power button to launch the camera, the camera would launch, then dim, then un-dim.
I thought this was odd, and I eventually realized that it's due to Sense Home launching in the background as well.
So when I double click the power button, launch the camera, then tap the "Recent Apps" view, I see Camera, and Sense Home open in the preview.
When I tap Sense Home, it just brings me to my home screen with all my icons and whatnot.
Weird thing is that when I launch the camera by tapping the camera icon I don't get the dimming/un-dimming, and Sense Home doesn't launch.
I occasionally see it in the "Recent Apps" view, so it's being launched by other apps as well.
The minor annoyance is that when I close the open Sense Home window in the Recent Apps, it takes maybe 2 seconds for the icons on my home screen to load up, and they load bottom to top individually.
Usually, when I don't see Sense Home open, then go to my home screen, all apps load instantaneously as if they had always been there.
I'm assuming it's like ending the process on explorer.exe on windows and running it again.
So I'm looking for a solution where I can prevent Sense Home from being launched as an app.
