This is strange. I did compare my sister's n4 too mine, both running stock 4.4.2. My phone did have the home button lag but her phone didn't.

Why isn't everyone effected by this? My phone is from November 2012 and her is from summer 2013, could it have to do with when the phone is produced?
[Nexus 4 General] raul6:
The only solution for me was to use Art. Getting rid of lag was worth extra space taken by abandoning Davlik.
[Nexus 4 General] The Zel:
Is there a way to get rid of the home and multitasking buttons lag without switching to art? I see that some apps (gallery, setting, etc.) load a tad slower on art...

[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
i think using a fast kernel/rom is a good solution.. i'm flying with twistedkat/ AK kernel / ART mod

[Nexus 4 General] beenja:
I'm using the volume button to power the screen, and no more laggy. Only change the button, funny

My lag started since 4.4 versions
[Nexus 4 General] davej23:
Yup all buttons are laggy, probably just the kernel though.

I'm using franco kernel r199 on stock rom and the lag is still here :(
[Nexus 4 General] jocke_lulle:
If it lags, try close all running apps and open just one app and hit home button. Does it still lag? For me the lag disappeared for the moment but after a while it returned. Can it has something to do with ram management (I have no idea, I'm just guessing)?

[Nexus 4 General] spydertony:
in my case lag was due to presence of more than one launcher installed. for some reason kitkat takes longer to choose a default application for a certain function...remove or freeze other launchers.
[Nexus 4 General] max4wdc:
Wow his right , i'm using nova launcher and now just deleted the stock launcher from system and reboot the device now home button lag is gone.

thank you so much spydertony

Edit : oh no , sometimes working without delay and sometimes like older :( but it's better now ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jocke_lulle:
Wow, so far this seems to work :) A couple of hours ago I uninstalled action launcher and nova launcher and until now everything works as it should. Hopefully it continues this way! I'll let you know

Edit. It seems like the lag isn't as bad as before but it's still there :/

Confirmed, home and recent buttons are much smoother, but lockscreen slide animation is still create some lag if you happen to pull down notification bar, interesting though.
[Nexus 4 General] jocke_lulle:
Now I got it working as it should. I tell you how I did. I flashed factory image again but this time 4.3. Then I updated to 4.4 and 4.4.2 via OTA. After that I made a factory reset. When I finally set up the phone with the setup wizard I didn't let Google restore my apps and data (it was probably this step that helped me). And now the home button is snappy again:)

If using a custom rom, assign nothing to home or recent app button on long press. Some improvement is seen.

I have a little lag on all 3 navigation buttons since i switched from dalvik to ART

[Nexus 4 General] kveikur:
I can confirm the home button "lag" (veeery slight lag) on my Nexus 5 (stock rooted, optimized dalvik+bionic libs, franco.kernel).

I'm using Nova launcher, removing/disabling the stock launcher seemed to help at first, but after a while the lag came back.

Example:

Start settings app; go back to homescreen by pressing back button - no lag what so ever

Start settings app; go back to homescreen by pressing home button - slight lag

However, exiting Nova's app drawer (or Nova settings, or anything that is part of the launcher) with the home button also has no lag. What could that mean?
[Nexus 4 General] RASTAVIPER:
I tried this settings example and its the same for me, no matter if using back or home button.

i have found out that the lag is gone if you switch to art instead of dalvik runtime. Now the buttons work lagfree for me.
[Nexus 4 General] sabbyj:
I've found a fix for the home screen button lag/delay

I've been toying around with the Moto G for about 2 weeks now, and it has been working super fine. Till today, that is.

It started lagging in all the places. Most noticeable was with the menu button and the task switcher button. There was a 1 second delay. It was pissing me off, so I started tracing my steps and actions since the morning.

I remember turning on the "Magnification Gestures" on my Moto G.

Voila! Turned them off, and the lag was gone.

Fyi, my Moto G was already using the ART. So it wasn't a Dalvik related issue.

Give this fix a try!
[Nexus 4 General] nakuk21:
Just found a solution for the home button lag i just added this line to build.prop it worked for me !!

[Nexus 4 General] BassBlaster:
2? Probably placebo effect. Tbh I have never noticed home button lag, but maybe that's because I use LMT Pie.

You can flash factory image and still save data, anyway it has to be a rogue app then, try another wipe and don't install any apps right away and see what happens

Lockscreen notifications lag "fix"

For those who are facing severe lag when accessing notifications from the lockscreen, merely enabling Lockscreen Widgets under the Security Settings panel seems to have fixed this for me, even with the stock clock widget.

It doesn't look like Dashclock is required.

Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOLghNoqbKw
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Can't confirm, didn't fix it for me. However DashClock did to some extent, so thanks for that :good:
[Nexus 4 General] ashwathravee:
That's odd. It's 100% reproducible on my device. Every time I uncheck the Enable Widgets setting, the lag resurfaces. When I enable it, it goes away completely. I have no 3rd party widgets installed right now.
[Nexus 4 General] thephoneguyusa:
Had one random reboot this was my only issue so far. Other than that it has been great!
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Actually you're right. Tried it again several times and it worked. Good find.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny.ns:
I tried and tried, and for me it's laggy either way (maybe a tiny tad better dunno).

Its when i "flick" down the shade that the lag/stutter happens. If i drag it down slowly it looks smooth enough. Darn it.

I should note that i dont have the GEL but stock 4.4 nexus4 image stuff.
[Nexus 4 General] ashwathravee:
I'm sorry that it didn't work for you :( Try using Dashclock instead of the stock clock widget. Some have reported that this fixes things for them.

For the record, I'm using ART.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny.ns:
Wow, I tried dashclock before and it didn't seem to help. But I installed it again and it seems to be working better now?! Not sure if its as smooth as 4.3 was - but ALOT better than with the stock clock widget.

Thanks!

PS. I am still using Dalvik.
[Nexus 4 General] crazyjimbo:
Scrolling seems to be choppy to me, and so does pulling down the status bar while on the lockscreen and launcher, though the launcher isn't as bad. I was running the N5 port for a bit and this just doesn't feel as smooth. I'm on stock OTA ROM and kernel, rooted
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
For me it seems to be smoother with stock clock and widgets enabled, but only if I have at least one other widget set (I use the messaging widget). For some reason when its only the stock clock widget, that's when I get the pulldown lag
[Nexus 4 General] AlderCass:
Nope, more like image ghosting where I can see a very subtle ghost of the previous light interface still on the screen. Though it's stopped happening again since my other post.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

I just took a screenshot and when I went to view it the Gallery app gave an error along the lines of "no access to local storage" and closed, and when I reopened the Gallery app it happened again. Clearing the app's data fixed it but I've never had that problem before.
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
OK. I haven't seen much of an improvement enabling lock screen widgets (its not a huge issue for me...or maybe I've adjusted to the lag) but what I did observe is that its linked with the change in the icons on the navbar - when they change, thats when the lag happens.

For instance, once the drawer has been pulled, you don't witness a lag (I don't) after the initial jerk. Move it up and down (not all the way up) and it'll be smooth. BUT - once you bring it all the way to the top (don't release it just yet), notice how the navbar icons change - that change introduces the stutter.

Anyway, that's what I think the root cause is. I could be wrong, since its 1.15 am here and I don't want to go to work tomorrow (we had a curfew for the past few days, and I was enjoying the holidays lol).

I've noticed some problems with light flow. Sometimes, randomly, the notification light doesn't work when receiving messages. Never had problems on 4.3 or 4.2.2

I disabled the "reduce wakelock" but the same problem persisted

Now i've put the task to "Run in foreground". Maybe this will solve, but i doubt.

I have used this app(on 4.3 and 4.2.2) with "Reduce wakelock" checked and "Run in foreground" unchecked and everything worked like a charm.

Reflashed stock everything, and this still happens.

I realized Android OS is showing up with the most data usage, so far 20mb in background data, 0 in foreground. I have no idea what is causing this, but I noticed it seems to stop when I shut off Auto Sync.

Turn Auto Sync back on, the data starts climbing slowly again and my phone gets really hot. Battery starts draining fast.

This has happened on stock KitKat twice (completely wiped/factory reset) but I did not experience it on the Nexus 5 port.
