That is to bad :( I don't use any of the tsf Widgets so not sure if that's it.. It actually seems smoother since the update maybe after next update it will work better for you

I think it's the RAM usage but I'm not sure.

Well the thing is that tsf is quite heavy on ram compared to other 2d launchers, nova, apex, etc. I had problems with reloading previous on gnex but it had low ram so ok. Now I'm on n4 and it doesn't reload itself almost never, unless I ran some heavy ram game. This problem is because tsf doesn't lock in memory, imo it should have that option. In your case I guess it's the sammys bloatware which consumes most of the ram, because gs3 has the same amount as mine n4, or maybe you are using more ram consuming apps. Check what's eating your ram.

I wrote long time ago to the devs that it is neccesary to have an option to lock tsf launcher in memory, it would be very helpful especially for low ram devices.
[Android General] rexboy:
Actually running a non bloated CM Rom but yeah I get what you're saying. Everything comes at a price so the more fluidic and feature packed it is, something has to give :(

I agree with the locking in memory though, next 3d has this option which forces it as a priority.

Don't play games but run allot of themes which I'm sure is eating my RAM.

Still love the launcher though and look forward to using it again soon

Tsf shell performance

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum but a long time owner of TSF Shell so please excuse me if I have posted this wrong. I find only since around July has it been usable again. Since moving to Android 4+ over a year ago it was unusable on any phone I tried but now it runs perfect.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini with androd 4.1.2 only which I got around June this year and was very dissapointed with it's performance out of the box even with some of the other paid launchers but since the latest updates to TSF Shell I find the phone is excellent, super smooth running and never once has it reloaded

I have been following this thread for TSF Shell for a while now to see what the latest news is and I noticed a lot of people complaining about performance or default launcher issues prior to Android 4.3 and thought maybe I should share some of my phones set up to see if it helps anyone who at least is still on Android 4.1.

my phone is not rooted and only some bloatware is disabled such as Chrome and the Yahoo apps, I dont use facebook or twitter and only the stock apps for everything else. The only widgets I use are the stock digital clock and Google Now for weather and the only TSF widget I currently use is the Message.

I use Dr. Web for security, although I think I dont need it really. I also use Norton Halt but not actually as a security app. I find with Norton Halt installed it prevents me having to use TSF Shell Patch for default launcher issues and it seems to prevent your launcher reloading all the time after a heavy app is running because Norton Halt set's itself as the default launcher but loads your preferred launcher for you. It seems to keep your launcher on in the background all the time.

Norton Halt also frees up your Home Button when you have an app that misbehaves and doesnt allow the exit button or force closes properly if you try to stop it from the settings menu, the Dumb Ways to Die app is the best example. When this app won't close you only have to hit the Home button and it immediately goes to the background and puts TSF Shell back up on screen, from there you can stop Dumb Ways to Die and uninstall it as it is riddled with full page ads anyway.

My colleague has a Samsung Galaxy S3 proper and he finds this set up helps him with his phone as well, although he uses Go Launcher for his launcher instead.

Anyway I hope this might help anyone with a similar phone to my own so that they can enjoy TSF Shell without some of the problems that I have'nt experienced in a long time now.

Any chance for an official guide to compile themes for TSF Shell in the future?
[Android General] zolah:
Used to love tsf when it first came out but there's a few niggles that have stopped me using it over the last few months.

There is STILL a problem with the weather clock widget where if you resize it the second bar freezes and you have to restart the launcher to fix it.

This launcher also slows down your phone in terms of how quick it opens apps due to the animation when you press on an app.

It's pretty severe if you open an app on your stock launcher and then open the same app on tsf you will know what I'm talking about and let's face it opening apps is pretty much everything you do on your phone...

As it stands I don't think this launcher warrants the money paid and I got tsf for half price when it was on offer.

Just my opinion though
[Android General] Ricky Divjakovski:
yeah this WAS great, unfortunately they discontinued for a while, i emailed the company to use a beta version in my rom as the launcher and they said i could but there releasing a lite version soon with a massive UI update!
[Android General] catman51:
While everything is working good, there is one problem. I own the Platinum and II Luxurious Multi Theme's by SLCMotor. These themes worked prior to the update, now only 1/2 the icons get skinned. I've worked with SLCMotor to try to correct, done every setting possible to no avail.

TSF, is there some fix for this??

Here's a link to the platinum theme:

I'm also having this problem with 1.9.9.7.6 on my Galaxy Nexus with the Pac rom - worked fine on the Believe rom. Once you move the dock anywhere close to the bottom of the screen it jumps behind the navbar and you can't even get at anymore it to move it somewhere else. Anyone have any ideas?
[Android General] tool_king:
Who needs the dock, if you can use the sidebar? ;)
[Android General] hobbes105:
That's true & that's what I'm doing for now, but there's a few things that I can't do with the sidebar that you can with the dock - like (unless I'm wrong) you can't add shortcuts to the sidebar.
[Android General] tool_king:
Adding shortcuts to the sidebar works for me. Just create them on a blank screen and move them later, cause otherwise they can "hide" behind existing widgets.

I had to uninstall next because I was getting mini launcher spam, which is one of their other launchers, every other boot up even when I wasn't using next. Those ad check apps couldn't track it down. When I uninstalled the problem vanished. I think it all had something to do with weather themes that they con you into downloading for 'free' but only after you download other apps. What a racket.

I don't think it will be 2.0

It will be only 1.9.9.8, because they still introduce new features/widgets (Calendar). This may introduce some new bugs. So, 2.0 will take some more time as it will be the first stable release for TSF. Let them take time as it should not be like the Next/Go launcher. Even though they say their launchers are stable, it has tons of issues and they don't seem to fix them. STUPID GO DEV TEAM.

I know update come in 2 or 3 day with a lot of new effect (transition, shortcut effect, icon effect; etc...) something like next but better like always. Hihi...:)

1.9.9.8 will be the number version.

share this one with everybody here. Those icons look better if you find the way to use only theme icons...Try to apply manually if you have too much icons not theme.(icons not theme look really bad). And play with the shadow in the icon designer.

Nov 03:

"The update will be published Next Week" - by TSF on facebook.

Now its 21st. Come on... There is a limit for making someone wait. This time its way tooooooooo late.

i am not saying there should be updates every week and i am happy with the current version. But when you say something publicly

you should stick on to that. Too bad TSF

Well it's nothing new, it happened before. We all like TSF very much (although I've betrayed it for stock kitkat launcher, don't laugh :) ) but the comunication was always a shi... I guess most of us got used to it here...

Well, I kind of like it's simplicity :) I'm not using many apps and widgets so it fits my needs. Looking at my themes you can say that i like the desktop rather to look clean and simple and by now i want to experience something way more simpler than tsf.
