Every once in a while my phone will have to "redraw" all the icon and Widgets and icons on my homescreens, which is annoying, but not a dealbreaker since it takes like a fraction of a second to redraw.

Earlier today though my screen got "stuck" like this and wouldn't redraw it. I could slide between homescreens and open/close the app drawer, but it still wouldn't redraw everything. I ended up rebooting my phone. Anyone else having a similar issue?

I haven't had it happen

How often does it happen ?

Can you reproduce the issue to make it hapen or is it completely random?
 
There is a fix for it.
Go into Nova settings, long press volume down. That opens up labs, go into labs, uncheck preload widget layout.


Cool. I didn't know that. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
 
I was just about to ask this. It's a know issue with the latest version of Nova Launcher.

I'm using Nova Prime Launcher and havent heard of this issue

Go into Nova settings, long press volume down. That opens up labs, go into labs, uncheck preload widget layout.

I still applied that fix tho :)
 
I'm using the stock launcher. I can't seem to replicate it. Just happens randomly. Haven't had another "redraw of death" since my screenshot though. Weird.

I have noticed a redraw that sometimes happens when I turn the phone on. The home screen displays, but wifi is not fully connected, a few more seconds and the screen redraws, then wifi is connected and usually I get incoming breaking news from some of my news apps. Startup is the only time a have a redraw and even then it doesn't always happen. I figure it is being triggered because the system even though it is displaying the home screen, isn't really fully initialized yet. After startup - no redraws so I am not concerned.

I've been seeing the same issue with AOKP build 38 running the latest Nova Prime. After applying the fix earlier today, haven't seen it happen again.
