Awesome

I'm using the stock launcher too, despite using Nova for years previously.

Stock launcher paired with Good lock works great for me.

Me too. I love Good Lock.

Yeah, unfortunately I think my days of using Nova may be over. Animations and unresponsiveness is annoying.

Btw the new Lockstar with the new AOD only works on S23 lines, it won't appear on the S24 lines if update

Samsung blew the AOD always on display settings up! Where in the hell are all the customization settings? I can't find auto brightness/brightness level or the on/off schedule for the AOD. A rare example of Samsung making something worse. I found the widgets and clock under wallpaper which is not intuitive and took me some research to find. If anybody knows where the brightness level for the AOD and the schedule for AOD is, I'd appreciate if you could help me find it.

This is in addition to text being too small on AOD and a glitch where notifications are on top of widgets.

I agree completely! Can't see it at all! No notifications or the time and date. I wish I hadn't updated it at all.

Hmm. When I updated I switched back to the stock launcher for a couple of days just as an experiment. Then went back to nova. I haven't noticed any lag with nova or any other issues. Nova does something that the stock doesn't. I use Google calendar. On the default the icon is a calendar page with 31 on it. With nova it's got the actual number. Saves me a step. It's the little things. Lol

It's telling you use Samsung calendar

Even on the stock launcher, swiping away notifications is sluggish or delayed. I'll swipe down to see the notifications, then go to swipe right to dismiss one and it's like the gesture won't register until I swipe a second time. It was doing this on Nova as well. I'm wondering if uninstalling Nova or trying a different theme would fix it. I'm using a just a custom theme that I created because I wanted the quick toggles to have a color to them on dark mode. So I doubt that it's causing the lagging.

I think for the time being, I'm going to turn off all animations in the developer mode. I have always used .5. I'm going to turn them all the way off.

So far it's quite jarring to not have any animations at all.

Try without the theme you will be surprised sometimes they can cause these glitches

I switched back to the stock launcher. I don't know. My phone just doesn't feel as snappy as it did before I updated it. The touch responsiveness seems slower.

I'm absolutely not doing a factory reset.

There's a world-wide Update Conspiracy.... against us all, I tell ya!

I lost approx 1 to 1.5GB of my S23+'s 'available' 8GB of RAM (that had showed constantly in 'available' memory) — when I foolishly updated from v.13 UI 5.1 -to- v.14 UI 6.0 ! As well as approx 35GB of storage! The equivalency of 1.21 Jiggawatts !

I've seen posts and articles about how it's supposed to actually be better for Android OS's to be using all or most of the available RAM, all the time, or something or other like that. But how could that be better? And if better, then please do explain why the phones don't come that way when they're new, with a preponderance of the 'available' RAM lower and/or already being used, if it's supposedly a good thing!?

If it's good for Androids to be using more RAM, with less RAM available, then why didn't my phone come that way? And if so, then why did my phone come [new, out-of-the-box] with an approx avg of 4.3~4.5GB of 'available RAM' always showing, (after the full data transfer from previous phone), as opposed to the approx avg of 2.8~3.3GB of 'available RAM' that it now has, since I foolishly updated to v.14 UI 6.0 ?!?!??????? As well as the loss of 35GB of 'available storage'? Why does there have to be such RAM & storage losses?? Why aren't there Flux Capacitors in the 'Updates' that prevent such losses?!

Those seemingly inexplicable losses really piss me off about Android and Apple.
Because since 2009, every single so-called firmware and/or UI 'Update' —has been nothing but a huge negative, in many ways, always incl losses of 'available' RAM, losses of 'available' storage and losses of overall speed— for every iPhone & Android phone that I've ever owned! Rant over.

I think keeping the most apps in the background is supposed to save battery life. If apps have to constantly reload, then it's theoretically using more processing power and battery.

But why should firmware or UI updates suddenly start keeping more apps in the background?
And why the often simultaneous affect of noticing slower overall speeds? To me, it seems like each update continues to over-bloat the OS.

Because apparently people want more features and system apps. I honestly don't give a rip about AI or the new features that 6.1 added.

They're finally updating Lock Star to enable manual brightness controls.

Yes that update was 2 or 3 days ago i posted above.

Ahh. I see that. I just got the update today.

I actually found the stock launcher to be slower than Nova. I can't stand the slow app opening and closing animations on the stock launcher. I'm still getting a delayed touches on swiping away notifications on both Launchers.

Have you cleared your cache partition (I always do this after an update). Shut your phone down completely. Then hold the Power button and the VolUP at the same time until you see a menu popup with several options (Android Recovery)

Use the volume buttons to scroll down to the one called Wipe Cache Partition (make sure you don't accidentally choose wipe data/factory reset like I did once). Select it by clicking the Power Button. Confirm and once complete, select Reboot

May not solve all your performance woes, but may help as I have found many times in the past that this helps lag especially after updates. ymmv but good luck
