I thought there used to be an option not to have newly installed apps automatically placed on the desktop screen.  However, I’ve looked through the v12+ menus and can’t find it.  Can someone remind me?

I love the flexibility of LL…second to none. However, one issue has always stood out. I recently compared it to Action Launcher to confirm this issue is not present in some other launchers.

When selecting an app, there is a brief delay before the app launches. In this time I usually see the selection effect rendered (holo versus plain). In Action Launcher, for example, as soon as I touch an item it is launched (no detectable delay). I find it most noticeable when bringing up the app drawer in the two launchers. I tried to set the tap event to launch the item, hoping to avoid the selection effect, but I’m not sure it has made a difference.

Is there something causing the delay? Should thr selection effect be optional? Is it something to do with waiting for a long tap to see about editing mode? It makes me think of programs that wouldn’t react until the mouse click up event instead of acting on mouse click down.

If it can be fixed by setting the tap to launch the item (as under event/gesture), maybe there could be a global setting to enable each item to launch its respective item on initial tap down event?
