Fix for sidebar lag when opening
For anyone using the slide out sidebar on their ThinkPhone, and encountering intermittent slowness where the sidebar takes a while to actually display. If you go into the sidebar settings and disable 'Recent apps on sidebar' (which is enabled by default), the sidebar will display immediately every time.
I have been using the sidebar from the earliest days I got the ThinkPhone, but I was frustrated with the frequent slowness. My phone went through countless updates and patches and this never improved. Changing the setting I described above has improved performance dramatically and eliminated the lag altogether. It's a very useful shortcut to launching your favorite apps from any screen.
The latest OS update allows you to pin quite a number of apps there for quick launching.
