I've been using Apex launcher for a few days and noticed that the phone has occasional lag/slow downs. While the stock launcher doesn't lag at all.
Both launchers are set up the same; number of screens, widgets, etc.
Just wondering if anyone else is using Apex launcher and how well it performs compared to stock for you
I'm on Elite 10.1 with midnight kernel.

I've been using Apex Pro for some weeks and also experienced some occasional little lags: wasn't completely satisfied with it and changed to Nova, resulting to be more fluent for me. (i'm on slim+semaphore)
You should try different launchers and see if it gets better with them
Just tried out Nova. It seems alot faster than Apex so far!
Only problem is a the homescreen is overlapping the dock rather than sitting above it. Can't find anything in the settings to fix it either...
Update
Never mind I fixed it.

Yep, got the same issue with Apex. For me Nova is better in terms of smoothness, but honestly, I kept comin back to Go launcher ex (it's more of a "habit" issue )
Apex us as fast as nova for me, strange. Make sure apex is a system app, or convert it with titanium backup, and check the keep in memory option in apex settings.

Apex launcher works well for me. Try the newest version.
I keep search for best launcher for OB
Used launcher pro,nemus,go launcher,sslauncher,xperia
Go launcher is good but consumes much battery.
I liked sslauncher. It's the most customized launcher. But now it's giving fc

I have adw launcher ex. Its very smooth and good for the battery life. Go Launcher is also good, but i think adw ex is smoother so i prefer adw ex :thumbup:

that depends on your taste
i like adw, xperia s(one x style), lg home
the others i've used but i dont like them this much (go launcher, launcher pro...)
tsf shell no doubt. you actually get a fluid experience. it's the best launcher in terms of fluidity.
I use Go Launcher because of full personalization and very smooth.. adw launcher seems not very smooth on my OB.. One of most smooth is tsf shell, but i don't like it..
Nemus Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher Pro.

tsf shell is fluid yes but i dont like it
The launcher i like the best is Holo launcher, very smooth, ics like, you can customize folders and you can chose icon packs form apks so it makes it kind of compatible with other launchers themes
Holo launcher is good and adw launcher ex

For me Go launcher best..

IMO Go Launcher installs so much useless crapware and since all their apps intertwine, i wouldn't be surprised if they 'anonymously' took information to 'better' their services.
I use Holo Launcher for realistic ICS look and plus its FREE!!!!!!
For me Xperis s launcher is the best because you can manage place of the application in application drawer... and all launcher pro and adw launcher icons work.
Holo launcher has lags, Go Launcher uses many ram. Launcher Pro is fluid and lighter. Xperia launcher is ok to use.
MiHome Launcher (MIUI)
I use the MiHome Launcher from MIUI and for me it's good to have widgets and apps all in one place
been using adw free since day one hehheheh i bought the paid one to support but still am using the free one cos i like the hidden dockbar thing =P
Xperia +1 I like it

Apex
Hi all, i like the nemus launcher. I used LauncherPro for years, but it will not be updated anymore and the functionality is not "the state of art". Nemus is very smooth, small and you can use the go launcher themes on it.
Give it a try.
Greetings
xperia launcher
I prefer xperai s launcher :good:
I have trying to find launcher for my note for a while, but every launcher I tested lag when I open folder and/or scroll.
I want launcher like apex or nova, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to share.
Thank you in advance!

I had apex pro and i dont have lag.
Buy Pro versions of Nova/Apex or TSF shell and you will never regret your decision
BTW i use Nova Launcher Pro
Odd, got massive lag with apex (stable and newest beta)
My folders contains usually more than 20 apps

I'm currently running ADW EX. It's working well but it gets laggy. Also I know task killers aren't need e d anymore, but with the lack of a recent apps menu I'm wondering if I should install one.I'm on the KFHD 8.9
No opinions on this?
I'm using go launcher HD, it seems more smooth than adw, try it. Greetings! !

Using Nova Launcher here set up with only one home screen and it's buttery smooth.
APEX Launcher
I like the free APEX launcher, is customizable, stable and is not consuming a lot of resources...

This is the "correct" answer.
I've tried ADW, Go, and Nova, and Nova is the smoothest and the lightest (in resource usage) of those 3.
Thanks for weighing in. I'll give Nova a go. Now it's there any way to get task switching going?
AW: Which launcher uses the least resources?
It's not real task switch but still you can easily switch from every app to another.
Called 'swipepad'

I wish nova had a tablet mode. That would make it perfect.
Ive gone from Samsung devices to lg to Nexus.. Never really gone with a 3rd party launcher.

Nova Prime...no matter how often I try others, I keep returning to it. Constantly improving, intuitive, lean and fast.

Me too. I gave up looking about a year ago.
Nova prime. It so flexible yet so much like stock launcher. I love it. I use it on all my android devices
Nova Prime as primary and Apex Launcher as Secondary
Nova launcher prime because it has the coolest name.
Nova Prime is the way to go! Respect to the Dev for constant updates and beta's!
Nova Prime, it looks like stock google now launcher, only with the best options and customizations.

Nova Launcher Prime. The best launcher I've ever used. Simple, Minimal, Heavily Customizable, Smooth, looks very close to GNL.
Did I hear someone say Nova Launcher Prim?:good:
Nova Prime!

Google Now Launcher.
The only gripe I have with Nova Prime is that the Google search bar is just so damn slow to use, takes a long time to open (as it opens the Google app) and the Google now launcher has (obviously) a much faster access to Google search and Google now.
