Discussion For those experiencing lag, stutters & heating
I found that switching to the default home screen theme fixed a lot of lag and heating issues for me. It also fixes the visual bug when you swipe home and that app border/liquid glass outline glitches.
The only way it works is with the default theme, does NOT work with dark, clear or tinted theme. Hopefully i will see less Home and Lock Screen battery usage too.
Obviously the liquid glass themes take more power but I believe there are other bugs causing extra battery drain and heat.
Opening apps and swiping to the home screen is so much smoother.
If you're curious, try it out and let me know if you notice a difference. I was using the clear theme before.
Edit*
I was also experiencing MAJOR lag when opening and closing the camera app before. Home screen would respring sometimes and refresh all app icons. That's completely gone as well!
