After I close an app the home screen lags and takes a second to load all the icons is this a common thing?

[LittleWing]

Checking:

Settings -> ADWLauncher -> System Preferences -> System Persistent

will likely help if you don't have it currently selected.

This is a release candidate that is why

Welcome to owning a Dream/Magic.

This has dramatically dropped, but will always be an issue with these.

I actually believe that cm6 is slower in this regard and do not think it has anything to do with owning a dream. The lag is quite obvious and is, in my tests, persistent only in cm6. I'm not complaining though, it is just an RC.

It's working fine on my MT3G with Launcher Pro.  Even with a live wallpaper it's pretty good.  The only time I see a lag is the first time after booting, something very intensive is going on during the initialization that wasn't happening in CM5.  Last night I saw the SD card notification icon stay on for a couple of minutes.  Once that's done, though, it's very snappy with no lag on the Home button.

There is a little lag on my Dream but nothing compared to CM5 or Stock. this is a dramatic difference! My wife notices the difference on her phone also.

[Bill Chen]

This happens when the home app (acore) is killed to make room for other apps.
The system persistent setting will reduce the probability this happens, but it can't prevent it.
On small memory devices like Dream, the home will be killed when launching almost any large app or launching 2 apps in a row.
The only solution is swapping, but the new memory management system seems to make decisions according to remaining physical memory instead of total memory (i.e. including swap spaces), so the home app still gets killed quite often...

I fixed the problem by creating a swap and using it. Nothing lags hardly at all.

thanks -stevo-

then I used adb to initialize it

adb shell bootswap90

reboot your phone and all should be better.

enabling swap has removed the lag in cm 6 for me. also i see an increase in performance when i keep the commonly used apps in the internal memory.

Is this a different swapper ?  Does it run in place of Swapper2 ?  If so, is it your opinion that it's better (more efficient) than Swapper2 ?

Actually I never used swap till CM6 cause of the incredible lag. If I understand it correctly CM6 handles the swap at boot, 83swapon which turns on the lunux based swappiness. in my case a rather high value of 90 so that I can run the browser after clicking a link in a n email and still be able to return to the ADW Launcher without it reloading into memory.

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=90;
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo "Swap at boot swappiness:90..."
cp -f /system/bin/swapon90 /system/etc/init.d/83swapon
chmod 700 /system/etc/init.d/83swapon
mount -o remount,ro /system
echo "Done."

I saw the exact same lag in CM 5.0.8 and judging by the threads, a large amount of others see the same thing in 5.0.8 as well.

Thank you for this - I was driving myself batty looking around for "Spare Parts"

[el_smurfo]

Sounds like the Spare Parts Lock Home in Memory is coming back in a future build, so this lag might get a bit better.

LittleWing's first post (Settings -> ADWLauncher -> System Preferences -> System Persistent) is the equivalent of the Spare Parts option. Works like a charm.

It helps but definitely not equivalent. You'll see a big difference when they bring it back in the next build (or a nightly soon). The ADW setting helps me a bit but i still get some home lag. When i installed a spare parts from another build it was night and day difference.

You can do it from a terminal session as well.

su
swapon30
bootswap30

Works on RC2 as well as RC1.

I haven't used a nexus one yet but I was wondering does the nexus one has this kind of issue? like going home takes 4 to 7 seconds? or is just in my mytouch3g??? I expect it not to happen since it has more than double ram and almost twice as fast processor but just asking to those that have used a nexus one full of apps.

[yone187]

cool launcher pro+bootswap helped tons!
