[Q] Holo Launcher is very choppy? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of stuttering/lag on holo launcher? I have the player 4.2 and it is extremely slow, but I see that people with lower spec devices than mine, and similar spec devices have little to no lag at all. Does anyone know of a solution to make it at least look not as laggy? I've tried changing many settings involving scrolling cache and stuff like that for scrolling, but it doesn't help much. If there are any tweaks I can do then please let me know, thanks

Holo on GB is slow. Use apex or adw

Tweak the settings within holo launcher. That's what I did and it runs fine.

What settings did you tweak? And I'm guessing since our devices are different then each launcher runs differently

I just tweaked the scrolling speed to 80 and set scrolling cache to high. I also kept the launcher in memory. I got this app called auto memory manage and set it like this going down the six options 40 70 100 160 170 180

Maybe it's stupid for you but clear ram does not give a boost of performance always. Can do the opposite because lots of apps (like facebook, gmail, messenger, whatsapp...) will restart after the clear making a very high cpu consumption and filling ram another time. You can try an app called greenify to prevent that user apps could restart without you allow them. If you're more experienced user tou can try autostarts.
But anyway, holo in gb with our hardware is not so fast, I think it requires a lot of cpu/gpu rendering.

Greenify only works starting android 4.x. Also in android 4.x, the OS requires gpu acceleration if it want to operate normaly.

No problem and you are welcome.

Oh I didn't know that greenify don't work with GB. Anyway I used to use autostarts with gingerbread. But without hardware acceleration holo don't works so bad.

Alternatives to stock launcher or stock apps?

Hi...just interested to know if people are using any alternative launchers or alternative apps such as the messaging app as opposed to the stock stuff and WHY?

I use QuickPic instead of Gallery. Because you can hide folders and you don't get the network folders showing up.

ive been running nova for over a week now, and it runs like a champ
I tried to deal with sense for about 4 hours yesterday... App spacing is atrocious and that dock is fugly and you can't change it to anything remotely attractive... Installed nova and doubt I will look back until maybe a desense Rom is developed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I got mine today and set everything up before loading nova back on. Nice and smooth as always.
Best thing is, the locksreen shortcuts are what is on the sense dock. You can set those to anything, then go to nova.
Anyone able to get wallpapers to scroll??
I'm trying Nova, but many of the Sense widgets are missing. I wish there was an app that would allow 4x5 layout on the stock setup. Does anyone know of anything like this? 4x4 just looks silly on such a large display.

ADW EX is my choice for this phone... I'm not willing to sacrifice features just for a little more ram. I have about 150 - 200 ram free consistently even with ADW.

I have to agree. ADW in general is much more feature rich and as far as ram goes, my phone still performs as well using ADW as it would a lighter launcher.
Another vote for adw ex. Very fast for me and I like the customizable of it.

Hi mannyvinny, fixed the launcher by flashing note 3 launcher. Keyboard works properly on on landscape.
See screenshots.
I realized that when im on portrait, spen works, and also the first time i open keyboard, a and z are far and not everything fits, ane if i close and reopen, i realize a and z are good but keyboard becomes bigger and doesnt fit the screen at all! Any fix? I really want this keyboard
