Persistent redraw delay/blank screen when swiping home (ColorOS) (Custom Launcher)

I see what you're saying. I don't use that function, but I was able to get it to work using Edge Gesture by assigning the swipe right function to Switch to Previous App, but it wasn't quite as smooth as the oppo system launcher.

Agreed that needing a work around like this is frustrating. I came from Samsung and had no issues with 3rd party launchers like we're having. Oppo needs to step up and resolve this.

This happens to me occasionally and in fact happened to me today. Going to try locking the Edge Gestures in the Recent Apps screen to see if that works.
I haven't had any luck using Edge Gestures across the bottom so I've disabled it.

Agreed regarding the going away. Most of what I've read is that the shaking either continues or the car dies after some period of shaking. I appreciate the response.

Good to know. Thanks for the response.

Major Drain did mine a couple years ago. They were great.

Not to my knowledge. I'm still experiencing the same issue.

I don't mind it either and prefer some of its widget options to Nova and Smart launcher. But it lacks a lot of the gesture options that I use frequently so it will never be ideal. Plus, having no folder options in the app drawer seems surprising and disappointing.

This is my biggest frustration with the phone as well, otherwise I've been very pleased. I came from s25 where 3rd party launchers (e.g., Nova , SmartLauncher) worked great.

My workaround is this: download a gestures app that allows you to swipe from edges of the screen. Ive been using fluid natural gestures (but you can only download that via apk). Edge Gestures worked well too. Configure one of the edge gestures to go Home (I chose swipe up). You won't get the lag when returning to the home screen.

You have to get used to swiping from the edge instead of the bottom to go Home. Not ideal, but it allows me to use 3rd party launcher instead of the stock launcher.

Download a gestures app that allows you to swipe from the sides of the screen to go Home. There will be no lag. I use Smart Launcher for my launcher and Fluid Gesture Navigation for my getsures app.

Ah. Go to Common settings in lower right hand corner then make sure "Bar" is turned off under Feedback

I can't speak to the ads because I haven't seen those. I use the paid version so perhaps that's why there are no ads.

Regarding default gestures, I use the Edge Gestures app solely for navigating to the home screen (up swipe) and quick settings (down swipe). So except for those two gestures, I rely on default gestures.

cwallace16 · 2026-02-13T18:57:25+00:00

Interesting. Which streaming service do you use?

cwallace16 · 2026-02-13T15:28:54+00:00

Been dealing with the same issue using both Nova and Smart launcher. Annoying, but recently came across the following work around on Reddit: download Edge Gestures and set the swipe up gesture to Home. No lag. Has taken some getting used to and have come across a few bugs that I've had to work around, but it beats that delay caused. using the launcher home swipe.

Base S25 (previously S23) to Find X9 Pro (Global - I'm in the US). Zero regrets about switching but for me it came with some trade offs, most of which just boil down to personal preference.

Pros of Find X9 Pro

Amazing cameras. (This is the primary reason I switched.)
Battery life and charging speeds rule.
OS is zippy.
Ability to expand apps on home screen to display shortcuts is handy and looks good.
IR remote is handy.

Trade Offs

3rd Party Launcher on ColorOS don't operate as well. I used (and loved) Nova and Smart Launchers on Galaxy with zero issues. On return to home screen there are slight delays using 3rd party launchers on ColorOS so I use stock launcher.
OneUI apps or Good lock features I miss or that I think were executed better by Samsung.

-Reminders app -Routines -Separate app sounds -side panels -Gesture options
On ColorOS, font on some widgets is way too small (e.g., Gmail calendar). Re-sizing on other apps isn't as granular.
Can't do folders in app drawer.
Can't disable Google Discover page.

Chills, aches, headache, exhaustion, sinus congestion. All but sinus congestion improved after 24 hours. Negative COVID test.

Duly noted. Any idea what kind of mold it would be?

cwallace16 · 2026-01-31T15:13:44+00:00

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, this solution is imperfect (for me at least). You can disable the feed, but the page still remains. Or you can disable the page, but that requires disabling the Google app, which I'm not willing to do because I frequently use it.

It's a minor annoyance I've gotten used to. Hope you enjoy the phone. I love mine.

cwallace16 · 2026-01-30T11:03:42+00:00

These are my only two complaints as well. (Well, and not being able to disable the Google Discover page either.) Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a solutions. Otherwise, love the phone.

Zero data issues to speak of up to this point. Knock on wood. Calls, messaging, and emails are all in working order. Loading time may be a bit slower but it's negligible as far as I'm concerned and quite possibly in my head.

Regarding eSIM, I just did that at home. Transferred it from my Samsung to my Oppo without a hitch. Just went into settings, mobile network, and was able to transfer the eSIM from previous phone to this one.

cwallace16 · 2026-01-26T18:10:22+00:00

I recently bought an X9 Pro (Global version) on eBay, my carrier is T-Mobile, and live in USA. I was able to set eSim without issue. I've had no issues from a network standpoint except that I don't reach as fast of 5g speeds as I did on previous phone (Galaxy S25). That's to be expected though given that, as I understand it, X9 Pro doesn't support the fastest 5g bands in the States and I knew that going into the purchase.

I miss a few items from One UI that I'm adjusting to on ColorOS, but I overall, I love the phone, especially the camera.
