Custom Launcher Lag on OnePlus? Try This Fix!

Once I got my hands on the OnPlus 13, I tried a custom launcher [yes, you guessed it right, it’s Nova Launcher]. Surprisingly, there were quite a few lags, especially when using the gesture navigation pill. Tried a few tweaks, but unfortunately, none of them worked in my favor. Then I gave a shot at some of the other launchers, but they were all plagued with the same issue. So this cemented the fact that there’s nothing wrong with the launcher; it’s definitely something wrong with my device.

Turned out, it wasn’t just my device, but infact all OnePlus devices had the same problem. This is because I used a custom launcher on the Nord 5, OnePlus 13R, and even the latest OnePlus 15, and all of them faced the same problem. So it seems OnePlus has done something deliberate on their end so that the users don’t ditch the stock launcher in favor of a custom one. So what can be done to address this problem? Well, I did some research and found a nifty workaround that will help you rectify this issue. So without any further ado, let’s check it out.
