I have the G.O.T 2.2.1 installed and CM6 mod on my Milestone. I have removed ADW Launcher and installed Launcher Pro Plus as default home.
Many times when I'm inside an application and hit the Home button in order to get onto the Home default screen...the icons and widgets are not there and it takes 10-15 second for them to appear...It's kinda frustrating and I have to say that I was using the same Settings under the 2.1update1 stock and the launcher worked without these issue...
Does anyone know how to fix this?Thanks!

If you'd search for "lag" "launcher" in Motorola Milestone forums, you would have found this:
If you use ADW or LauncherPro and if after using your browser, email or any other apps for awhile, then if you press the 'HOME' button, if it takes forever to redraw your home screen, and you are sick of that HORRIBLE LAG, then try this: In a terminal,
type su and enter.
Then type echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop and enter.
Then reboot.
Now evaluate whether or not this fixes your lag.
If you want to undo what this command does, simply remove that toggle from: /data/ local.prop

I have also tried every fix I could: Disabling Window Animations, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ hack, low memory profiles for LauncherPro, but it ultimately boils down to the fact that the Milestone/Droid's RAM is the issue, as I've actually had this very same issue affect ADW launcher as well, and I'm sure it would creep up on other Homescreen replacements too
GOT 2.2.1 might make the issue worse because they might have baked in some things that take up a lot of memory, and when android reaches a point where it needs to kill stuff, it forces the widgets out of memory.
There's apparently a complete re-write of LauncherPro coming in the next few months, but even then I'm not sure it will be much help.

L.E.
Fixed: For those that are having this issue... Just disable "Keep in memory" from Launcher PRO "General Settings" and it will work just fine

Yes...As you can see I have deleted my "Later Edit" because after a reboot...the problem came back...
I'm having the same issue with watching live stream in the browser and some flash contents...It plays for a while...then it closes the browser...
I guess these things will be fixed when the final version of FROYO for our Milestone will be released...
Until then...maybe somebody is wise enough to help us! Thanks!

try enabling in adw settings>system preferences>system persistent. If you enable this Android will take some another witness for his killing process.

Tired of your widgets redrawing and lagging when you come back to the home launcher? Well then enter this into your data/local.prop file
Code:
ro.home_app_adj=1
Just put that into your /data/local.prop file and then reboot
You should be good to go!
How does this work ?
Does it keep them the widgets and homescreen elements in memory thereby increase memory usagE ?

Yes it keeps them in memory. However, the X has plenty to spare. No performance issues whatsoever, just a faster redraw.
Its almost like the checkbox in LP that say "Attempt To Force into Memory", only this way actually works.
Is this just for the Blur Home or will it effect things like ADW.Launcher?

Happened to me also on Fission 2.1
fantastic! I use it.. in fact, I used bees' other mods for awhile. Love 'em!
I'm running Fab's ApeX ROM and after doing the edit and rebooting the edit is gone. I've tried deleting the backup file prior to rebooting but it still does not stick.
I used text editing the local.prop file with fission rom v2.1.RC2 through root explorer. The setting seems to stay after a reboot. However, I did not notice any improvement at all.
didn't survive reboot
local.prop just went back to how it was before
I keep on changing launchers on my N1, recently found Go Launcher Ex and installed it. It's impressing me except one weird problem that whenever I select Settings>Preferences it' shows the preference screen for about half a second and disappears and I am back to home screen. Means I can't change any launcher settings.
I googled a lot but can't see anyone else having any such issue. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes... i had the same problem, so i uninstalled the launcher again. If you find a solution whould be really nice if you could post it here.
Thanks..

Well, you do have very little internal space. That normally causes me problems (with other applications)
I don't know if it could affect your launcher but try clearing up some room. I don't have the issue either but I'm on GB CM7. Even if you have time, try backing up your current rom/settings and then start fresh, see if that helps!
You can contast GO DEV Team OR message me!
The team Email is：[email protected]！
Guys, sorry for the very late reply, the problem was fixed after I did a factory reset
Thanks everyone!
I'm also facing the same problem as the OP is facing, I have Spice MI-410, So as it is posted I think Factory Reset is the only solution, too bad
New launcher I been using this morning on my tablet, it uses adw coding so that means adw themes can be used from the market.

Xoom now wont boot after install of VTL
Hi, installed this launcher earlier.. had a play then turned off xoom. Now when I turn it on, it hangs at the flashing m logo. Any ideas? Even to just boot would be nice!

You my sir are going to have to wipe (or restore your backup)! Boot into recovery by rebooting device and 3 seconds after red M shows up hold volume down button until lettering is displayed on top left of screen. Navigate with volume down button until Android Recovery is displayed then hit volume up. Navigate to wipe date/factory reset.
This launcher is for the most part ADW, but its missing the screen switcher under custom shortcuts. It has all other features but that, and thats the one I want.
Also on the far left screen and far right, the screen freezes and won't fully turn to the screen until I scroll back. Rather annoying. Back to ADW. And no swipe up/down to open/hide ANY dock bar.
There are some nice features though and am sure someone will enjoy it.
I tried that but as soon as i go into Android Recovery i get the green android with a triangle (From desire work i know thats not right - not rooted as yet!)
I cant believe that i have to wipe simply after installing an apk! - Not impressed and wife is gonna go ballistic when she finds out that she will lose 2 months of "My Country" work!
I dont think VTL launcher will be on her shopping list! Will start a new thread in Q&A as might as well root now if gonna lose everything! Cheers
I have rebooted many times with it instaled and have no issues... I didnt set it as the default launcher because its not completely readt for honeycomb devices. but other than that it shouldnt have had anything to do with the boot process of the tablet.. im just as confused as you are on that. ... What rom are you running? I have tiamatt 2.2.1 hammerhead..

I used this launcher a few months ago and ran into the same bootloop issue. As strange as it may sound I was able to pull it out of the bootloop by giving it time to boot up and then repeatedly tapping the screen (boot xoom, wait until you feel it should be operational, start tapping screen, uninstall vtl). Worth a shot before wiping, hope it works for you. I dont know what caused it, dont know why tapping fixed it, DO know it hasnt happened again!

Was thinking about trying this...any issues with it? Are you still using it? Comments/thoughts?
I used it for a month or so and really liked it, but it wouldn't work after the 3.2 update, as I recall. Tried for a long time to reach the dev, but it seems he disappeared. The website he/she setup for it was (maybe still is) totally stagnant for a long time. Its a shame, because I really liked the VTL launcher, but I think it is dead (at least for now). Was hopeful when I saw this thread it had been resurrected, but I guess not.
To bad, I was a little leery of trying it after hearing about the boot loop issues. Really want a decent launcher for the Xoom, launcher pro looks to big for me.

you could try editing build.prop file yourself (which is what v6 supercharger does when making launcher "bulletproof") by using this method:

Jar files in the framework need to be edited for this to work on jb.
In the v6 supercharger there's a tool to do it all automatically, you only need root and terminal emulator.
Maybe I did something wrong but it did absolutely nothing...launcher is still reloading itself and I chose "bulletproof launcher" ....I used the "ultimatic_jar_patcher_adb.bat" file.....
I'm using Nova Launcher with One More Clock as my Clock\Weather widget. I've noticed that the widget does not update the time regularly - i.e. it'll stop updating after some time and it seems to be fairly random. Once it stops, I have to refresh the widget in order for it to update again. I've tried a couple of other widgets and the behaviour is the same, so I'm pretty sure it's not the widget. I've also gone and ensured it is a protected app, but still the non-refresh behaviour continues.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I don't see it with the stock widget on EMUI...
That happens with emui launcher too. All widgets which are not stock stop updating after a certain amount of time.
Works fine for me. Make sure the launcher and the apps are "protected" in the battery settings. If you want regular android behavior just hit protect all in that menu. This allows apps to keep running and update while the screen is off.
The battery saving options are turned on by default with this phone. Under settings/apps/advanced you can also allow apps to ignore battery optimizations.
If you are rooted you can also just freeze the phone manager and powergenie all together to get stuff to update etc (that's what I did)

I've done everything you mention except rooting the phone. I want a phone that works without rooting, so I guess the P9 isn't really suitable for me. Too bad, as the hardware and general design of the phone is really good, but EMUI really lets it down. Additionally, I'm not happy with the software update strategy for it either. I'm on build 134 for the P9(EVA-L09) and I've seen builds 136 & 152 in the wild for my device variant and geography, but there seems to be no update for my phone. And I have the green garbled images for a lot of the photos that I take, for which I've been waiting on a fix.

I had this issue on FutureRom which i guess waa based on l09.. reverted back to my L19 and the issues don't exist.. might be a buggy PhoneManager is to blame..
But why if you don't mind my asking? I've never used non rooted or non jailbroken phones. You get some nice additional features for free. Every company had phones with broken updates or other issues, if you wanna take things into your own hands and not be dependent on them, you know what to do
Wow that became quite the speech. Sorry :angel:

It's been working for 24 hours now updating every hour. Protected under battery settings + ignore battery optimizations under "Apps" wasn't enough, but when I also changed CPU from Smart to Performance it seems to be working. I also re-added the widget on the homescreen afterwards to make sure settings worked.
what should I do on kitkat?
