Keeping launcher in memory? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I have the stock 4.3 launcher (on Cleanrom 2.1), and sometimes the launcher will redraw. It's almost 2014. Can this please stop? It ruins the experience.

Use "App Settings" xposed module.It has the option "resident" wich will keep your desired app in memory.

First of all...your phone should have Xposed Framework installed.Guide and downloads here.After that you should check the "Downloads" section and download & install "App Settings" module.After that go to your desired application and click on it.Check the "resident" option and save your configuration.I did the same thing with Nova launcher on my Galaxy S4(i9505).I didn`t have redraw problems but i want to keep the whole experience smoother.

You`re wellcome.You know that if you use Nova Launcher it has the option to keep in memory?In Nova Settings check the box that is says "Aggressive Desktop".

Apex launcher has that feature as well.

So true, I had 'Aggressive Desktop' checked in Nova settings and recently started to get lots of redress and got really irritated with it.
Did a little research and found this thread. Since I already had the Xposed network and the 'App settings' module installed I simply opened it up checked the 'resident' and restarted the browser. Not a single redraw yet

Update: Go Locker Lock Screen APP- (V 1.06)

Just to inform in case you've missed. Go Devs have released a new Lock screen app usable with Go Launcher called Go Locker. Just 4 lock screen patterns/themes for now, surely more will be coming in future. Those four lock screens are damn smooth. Also a Custom Wallpaper isn't supported yet, as well as Date Format is fixed at MM/DD for now, other than those its great.
Using the Sense LS for now.

Anyway, thanks for the information. It seems to be a nice app.
Very nice app but it would be great if the app allows more customisation just like jkay.

I also have this problem. It totally closes when doing it from voice search. If I say okay google from google home, and then make my request, it will force close with the results in the background. Using google home "ok google", If I say "What time is it?" It will read the time outloud to me at the same time the force close message comes up. I am running Pacman rom with faux kernel, but the same problem happens on my S3 also with pacman rom with ktoonz kernel. Anyone not have this issue so we can see if its just us?

The left page is always Google Now. To make new pages to the right take an icon, hold it, and drag it to the right edge. A new page will be created. Took me a bit to figure that out too

The icons are supposed to be bigger I think, but what is showing up is probably larger than they "should" be because the Launcher is built for the Nexus 5. (It may be more than that)
It's not the GEL, but I posted a version of Launcher3 which is the new Launcher w/o Google Now integration here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514426
(It has smaller icons to fix the landscape issue that is also present in the AOSP version which is the "It may be more than that")
I'm having an issue where the keyboard opens whenever I hit the home button. I'm assuming it is thinking I want to make a search when the launcher opens

For some reason, I've lost the pens.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I only have wallpapers, no pens.
To update, it seems that after my update to NK4, it reverted back to the stock pens on its and I simply had to re-enable Mont Blanc as the default template.
Thanks for this I can't believe it would cost $200 to get some themed S Note pens.
