Lag when returning to home screen from apps (OnePlus Nord 4)

Device: OnePlus Nord 4
Android Version: 16

Using Niagra Free version

Description:


When I open apps from Niagara Launcher, they work normally. However, when I return to the home screen, there is a noticeable delay/lag before the launcher becomes responsive.

The transition back to the home screen is not smooth and feels slightly delayed compared to expected behavior.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Set Niagara Launcher as default launcher

  2. Open any app (e.g., WhatsApp or Outlook)

  3. Press Home button / use gesture to return

  4. Observe delay in launcher loading

Expected Behavior:
Home screen should appear instantly and smoothly without lag.

Actual Behavior:
There is a delay or stutter before the home screen becomes responsive.

Frequency:
Happens consistently

Additional Notes:

  • Issue happens mainly after exiting apps

  • Not sure if related to system optimization or background restrictions

  • Feels like launcher reload or redraw delay
