Homescreen is blank on 2.2 Droid I have a Motorola Droid on Verizon, and a lot of times when I unlock it, my homescreen will be blank; no icons, no widgets. Nothing in my app tray, either. I have to wait for about a minute for everything to load before I can launch anything (unless the app I just used was one of the 6 most recent, in which case I can long-press Home with no problem).

I think the problem is a lack of memory; my phone is probably auto-killing the launcher constantly. When I use an option on a third-party launcher to avoid closing the launcher, I don't have this problem anymore, but I'll often be kicked out of the app in the foreground!

Now for my system details... I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1, but it was doing this before I rooted (in fact, I mainly rooted because I thought it would fix the problem). I'm using ADW.Launcher as well, but again, it was doing this with the stock launcher. I'm also not using any task killer apps.

Has anybody else had this problem? I haven't talked to any other Android users who have mentioned this.
Try this from the CM forums:

If you use ADW or LauncherPro and if after using any memory intensive application you hed back to your Homescreen... you know the drill.....lag, lag, redraw, redraw, then finally you are able to function again.


MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
In your terminal application on your phone (if you have to ask what this is, Google it, download it from the market) enter...



su (enter) 
echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 &gt;&gt; /data/local.prop (enter)
reboot (enter)



If you want to undo what this command does, simply remove that toggle from: /data/local.prop, or if you did not have this file (like I did not) prior to the mod...remove it entirely

This is also from Bryan Denny's Answer to this question.

You'll probably still have a problem with foreground apps closing when you keep your launcher in memory but I think that's just an issue with trying to use too many memory intensive apps with a phone with 256 MB of RAM.

You can also try to take the memory priority management into your own hands with AutoKiller Memory Optimizer.  It allows you to set your own custom minfree priorities for Android to follow.
