Pierre Hébert​​​​ On my Nexus 7, Lightning Launcher has a very prominent bug that is extremely annoying.

When in landscape, the App Drawer will lag while scrolling. And the problem is, it only happens sometimes. If I go into Lightning settings, open the ‘Configure Desktops’, and exit (without doing anything), the issue usually (but not always) gets temporarily fixed. But then I open an app, or something, and the issue reappears.

This only happens in the App Drawer, but a few days ago, I reset and reconfigured Lightning Launcher, and before that, it only happened when NOT in the App Drawer.

Also, the lag occurs in settings.

Only happens in landscape. Please look into this.

    Nice.



    Since you’re the first person to report this “bug”…



    Maybe you should calm down.

    Anything somebody pays for should have support, though I probably shouldn’t have said that (don’t know what I was thinking, I was just really irritated, sorry.)



    However, even if it’s device specific, I would hope he tries to fix it.

    Josh Gray By the way, the passive aggressive thing was actually because I used my email to reply, and that’s my signature. Not on purpose.

    Aashish Bharadwaj​, apologies accepted (by me).


    I just want to let you know that you will not find a more helpful and responsive dev ANYWHERE. Pierre is in France. There is a time zone thing. He deserves sleep. Respect that and you will be respected.

    Chris Chastain I don’t expect a fixed release in two seconds, or even two days.

    Aashish Bharadwaj​​, fair enough. So stop the demanding attitude and all will be well.



    There are MANY people here willing to help with any issues you may have, whom you didn’t pay. I would suggest that alienating them is probably not helping your cause.

    I’ll take your word for it, but I couldn’t see a problem from the video.

    Chris Chastain Both the main screen and app drawer are lagging in the video because of the screen recorder, but the app drawer lags significantly more. And for some reason, the rest of Android lags while in the app drawer (you may have noticed lag of system UI when pulling down notification shade).

    Try to enable ‘minimize memory usage’ in general settings, maybe it does nothing, or maybe it helps


    (I noticed you have a dynamic wallpaper, if you temporarily set a static image does it works better? )

    TrianguloY I’ve tried a static wallpaper, and I’ve tried both memory related settings in all combinations possible. Nothing worked. I’ve actually spent about a week troubleshooting.

    oh oh, it seems it was a hot conversation…


    (Yes I need to sleep, I wake up at 4:30 during the week, and it’s Sunday)


    Which N7 is it, 2012 or 2013 ? I had a N7 2012 but it is now broken (hit by the crappy touch connector failure) so I cannot say for this device. I didn’t notice any issue in the past but this was in the past. I also have a N7 2013 (working until it fails too…) but I don’t notice any issue in landscape in what seems to me the same configuration as you, with the standard bubble LWP.


    It’s difficult to notice the lag in the video, but if the System UI is lagging, then maybe this is not only the launcher fault…


    One thing to know: all devices will have a performance penalty when displaying a rotated screen. Pixels don’t get rotated just by magic. And since the natural orientation of a N7 is portrait, I wouldn’t be surprised that the normal orientation of the surface flinger is portrait, not landscape…

    Pierre Hébert My device is a Nexus 7 2013. I know that the Launcher most likely causes this because it randomly stops doing this. For some reason, if I open Lightning Settings, and then “Configure Desktops” (but don’t do anything), and then go back to the App Drawer, it’s perfectly smooth, until I open an app or something.

    Aashish Bharadwaj​, just curious, are you running the stock ROM?


    Seems like there have been several reports of crashes lately involving CM 11.
