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: Set Niagara Launcher as default launcher Open any app (e.g., WhatsApp or Outlook) Press Home button / use gesture to return 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

Unable to Add Widgets to Home Screen/Favorites

Description A critical issue where the option to add or create widgets on the home screen/favorites list is either missing, non-functional, or results in no widget appearing after selection. This prevents the use of both Niagara’s built-in widget features (like the clock/calendar replacement) and third-party app widgets. System Information Android Version: Android 17 Beta Steps to Reproduce Long-press on the Niagara "Clock" or an empty area in the Favorites list. Select "Add custom widget" or navigate to Niagara Settings > Features > Favorites > Add widget. Select a widget from the list of available apps. Observe that the widget fails to appear on the home screen, or the configuration screen closes without placing the item. Expected Behavior After selecting a widget (and completing any necessary configuration prompts), the widget should appear at the top of the favorites list or replace the default Niagara clock. Actual Behavior The widget does not appear after selection. In some instances, the launcher returns to the home screen with no changes. The "Add widget" button may occasionally be unresponsive. Troubleshooting Already Attempted Restarted Niagara Launcher. Restarted the mobile device. Verified that "Niagara Launcher" has the "Display over other apps" permission enabled in system settings. Cleared the launcher's cache.

[Bug] Widget stack rotation stops at final widget instead of looping back to the first

Device Information: Device: Google Pixel 8 Pro Android Version: Android 17 Description Previously, widget stacks supported continuous rotation. When scrolling through a stack, reaching the last widget would automatically wrap around back to the first widget in a seamless loop. Currently, the stack behaves as a linear list with a hard stop. Once the user reaches the final widget in the stack, they are unable to continue scrolling forward to return to the start; instead, they must manually scroll backward through every widget to reach the first one again. Steps to Reproduce Create a widget stack with 3 or more widgets on the home screen. Swipe/scroll through the widgets until you reach the very last one in the stack. Attempt to swipe one more time to return to the first widget. Expected Behavior The stack should utilize infinite scrolling/wrapping. Swiping "forward" on the last widget should immediately display the first widget in the stack, allowing for continuous, one-directional rotation. Actual Behavior The stack hits a "wall" at the last widget. The user is forced to reverse their scroll direction and go back "one by one" to get to the beginning of the list. Additional Context Regression: This feature was previously working and appears to have broken in a recent update. Impact: This significantly slows down navigation for users with large widget stacks (4+ widgets), as it triples the number of swipes needed to find a specific widget.
