I use CM 7.2 ROM. There are 3 "buttons" at the bottom of any home screen. The one in the middle is for showing all the application. Apparently, my kids deleted that icon action and I don't know how to put back the previous action.
Done it before mate, all you got to do is long press the home screen, go to launcher actions, then open/close app drawer
u try rebooting the phone?
So since I can remember, whenever I first launch Blinkfeed launcher after a reboot, it shows up very faint. I have to exit and then hit app drawer button again and then its back to normal. Any ideas on how to disable this? It also happens randomly, but I can always make it do it after a reboot.
I had this issue before root and after.
Screen shot attached
My Samsung unlocked S7 just received a Nougat update. Looks ncie but one big issue I am having right away (and feel stupid I cant figure out):
I can no longer remove App Shortcut Icons from my home screen (using Apex Launcher). Used to be I long press on the icon and have an option to drag to "Remove".
Now when I long press I have option to Uninstall the app, but not to just remove the icon from my home screen pages. Any help?
EDIT/UPDATE: Totally weird. The "Remove" option has not reappeared and I can again delete icons from the home screen.
Anyone else who is using the stock launcher experiencing this (already submitted issue)?

1. Have "Back, Home - swipe up on the home button -" activated in the "navigation bar & gestures" settings of the device.
2. Open any app on the device
3. Swipe up on home button or on the right side of the Pill navigation bar in order to access recent apps. In short, try accessing the recent apps screen by swiping up fast.
4. Observe that it doesn't work and after swiping a second time, it takes you instantly on the home screen without accessing the "recents apps" screen

Happens to me randomly with stock launcher set as default. With Nova as default it seems to be resolved.
Hi, as a really fast user that needs quick actions im suffering a bit from these weird touch delay after closing apps or overlays... I tried different launchers and different apps, tried safemode and tried disabling animations nothing worked, video attached for example
Your browser is not able to display this video.
I use Xposed edge pro for system gesture and it's fast AF

I'm not seeing much of any delays in your video but maybe its because it's too small on my screen. If you want to speed things up navigating between apps go into developer options and there are 3 parameters you can play with (top 3 in screen shot)
I'm having different issues after updating. I'm on a Verizon S22 Ultra, using Nova Launcher with gestures and power savings mode enabled.
I'm having an issue where, after I use the pull down gesture (swiping downward) on the home screen (for example, if I'm just trying to switch from wifi to mobile data, or trying to turn off Bluetooth, or trying to turn on location) a lot of the time I'll have a delayed and or almost immediate ghost touch input, without touching anything.
Sometimes, even if I don't touch anything and I just swipe down to bring down the pull down ui, it'll act like I used the swipe up gesture and clear the pull down ui and return me to the home screen. Other times it'll act like I pressed the home button icon (there will be a soft white glow that shows up around the home screen icon), even though I never touched the home button icon.
Other times, on the home screen, I'll use the slide down gesture. The pull down comes down, and almost immediately it'll act like I have pressed the recents button and my recent apps pops up. It's like someone else is controlling my phone, but only on the homescreen, very annoying.
This only seems to happen when I'm on my home screen and trying to use the pulldown gesture when power savings mode is enabled. Although, it did happened a couple of times in Samsung Internet Browser Beta when power savings was enabled and prior to the recovery cache clearing. Randomly, the settings ui popped up on me while trying to type in an internet address, but I never touched the hamburger menu icon in the lower right.
This doesn't seem to happen in the Samsung Internet Browser Beta anymore after performing the recovery cache clearing. When it was happening in the browser, I'd try turning off the power saver and the ghost touches seemed to stop.
On the homescreen, once the pulldown comes down, even when pulling down for a second time to fully expand the ui (sometimes almost immediately and or even after a few seconds of not touching anything), it'll either take me right back to the home screen (like I pressed the home button icon or it'll pull up the recent apps ui and I never touched anything). It is wonky.
I've tried clearing cache through the recovery method and it's still acting up when power saving mode is enabled. The only thing that seems to have caused it to stop, is turning off power saver mode.
Anyone else experiencing this issue of ghost touches with power savings enabled along with Nova Launcher's gestures (or on any other 3rd party launcher and or even the stock launcher perhaps?) on the home screen? I haven't had time to record this yet, I'll have to get some video of it, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this or knows of a better workaround perhaps?

I use Nova with power saving mode enabled and have no issues with ghost touches. Are you using the latest version of Nova 7? How did you migrate from your old phone (backup and restore Nova settings)?
I used to have this problem with Dr. Ketan's rom but not on samsung's.
March update

That's known issue with Gestures and launchers on almost all android phones. I have that issue on Pixel too if I use Nova or other launcher

Okay, cool. I appreciate your input. I'm using Nova 7.0.57. Yeah, I loaded Nova on the phone from my old Note 20 to the S22 Ultra. Things have been fine, no ghost touches. I noticed it happening right after I downloaded and installed the April security patch.
At first I thought it was me going too fast through everything like usual and maybe I was hitting the back button or home button or just off the screen by accident and closing out of the expanded notifications ui. But, it has continued, just not in the Samsung Internet Browser Beta anymore.
Now it's only when I'm on the home screen and I try swiping down to expand notifications, then it acts all wonky and either closes by itself and or takes me to the recents ui.
I don't use nova, but have picked up phantom touches in certain apps....this is after the April update. I would open ambivision app...in the settings menu it would exit out of settings or sub menus in the app...thought it's an app bug, but sometime when swiping down the notification bar I also get phantom swipes closing the pulldown as if I swiped up....few other appa also random swipes/gestures

Yup, I thought it was just some apps that had bugs but it's happening on the pull down notifications bar and expanding the notifications too. This all happened after the April security patch update. I didn't have any of this at all prior.
I noticed it immediately after the update, I opened the Samsung internet beta browser, started browsing and had the settings ui popping up and the recents ui pop up. I thought I was just moving through things too fast and hitting buttons. Then on the notification pull downs, they started rolling back up right after I'd pull it down.
It still happens quite a bit and the only thing I've found that seems to stop the phantom touches is turning off power saving mode. Dark mode also seems to slow it down, but it doesn't always stop it. It must have something to do with being in 60hz mode instead of 120hz as power savings reduces the refresh rate to 60hz.
I also picked it up after the update. .also with the pull down of notifications etc
I also started seeing phantom touches after the Apr update - especially with Google News app. I turned off extra dim feature and now I don't get any phantom touches!
