[Q] Download system apps?

I updated to lolipop, rooted and unlocked BL and some things are missing, most notably the nvidia power control. Pretty sure my tab is stuck in low performance/battery saving mode and the settings page to go to performance or whatever is no longer present.
So I was wondering if there was a place I can get the apps, or if any rooted users can pull them off theirs and share them.
I have the 16gb wifi.

Did you hard reset after updating?
Need to ftr.
Also, menu has changed on L5, add a settings widget to your home screen for power saving, there is soc menu.

I have only done normal reboots since updating, it did not freeze or restart during the update if thats what you meant.
I don't know what the issue is, but lots of apps broke across the update. Things like facebook give me -506 error not installing but the apk is still in /data/app.

I've heard FB has some kind of issue that some recommend to uninstall for time being.
I mean a hard reset, not a reboot. Go into settings, back up & reset, wipe all. You will lose everything, back up what you want save.
Always a good idea to wipe when doing a large update such as L5, and especially L5.

So no one is willing to share I take it...

Power Control is hidden on Lollipop.
Go to Home Screen and add a witget for settings, then select Power Saving for the option. That should bring you the original Shield Power Control.

Nova 5.0

Hello everyone
Yesterday Nova Launcher 5.0 has arrived and comes with pixel like swipe to open drawer and dock backgrounds to draw under navbar.
When I apply to draw under navbar first it works then when I use the navbar it switches back to black background? I hope you understand what I am saying
Can Anyone who tried the new Nova Launcher help me please?

It only works on the home screen

I know that. it was black background at the home screen too. But I solved the problem you need to turn on the transparent notification bar. Now it looks as it should be
Thank you though

Anyone using Nova 5 on B320? Each time I set Nova as the default launcher and press the home button it reverts back to EMUI and I get the Smart Recovery message telling me my phone has recovered from a serious error caused by Nova. Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks

Set Nova as your default launcher.

Black background or u got the stock launcher again ? if u got back to stock then set default if u got black background might be an issue with the app update .

Reverts back to the stock launcher. As for disabling Huawei Home it isn't listed under Apps so how to disable?

This is weird. I never had this problem with Nova.

Maybe something to do with the fact I'm running beta firmware. I've emailed the developer to see if they can can up with anything. Thanks all for your input.

not related to beta or any thing just try to reinstall i download the nova 5 and was awesome ! ...

Hi all, was there ever a solution to this? Using an honor 6x and experiencing same issue. I downloaded and set Nova launcher as default. Works for a while only to revert to home launcher after a warning message "smart recovery- device recovered from a serious failure...".
Previously i had disabled the home launcher and it rendered my device useless until I restored a backup through twrp...
Forces me to uninstall and reinstall Nova to be able to use it.
However this time around I hid Huawei home launcher in magisk and it seemed to last longer without the warning.

Accessibility services keep resetting

Hi,
I tried to remap my Jovi button using the button remapper app but it stops working after a while. I have it locked in recent apps, set up as an exception in battery saver, I even ADB uninstalled the i Manager app but without success. Then I figured out my accessibility keeps resetting from on to off for all apps (not just the button remapper). Do you have any ideas how to stop it from doing so?
P.S. I don't think factory reset will help as this was the problem from the very beginning, before any modifications were made.
Thanks a lot!

I've had the exact same issues but have no idea why it's happening.
Also, from the sounds of things, a number of other people have had similar problems in the thread explaining how to re-map the button.

Same issue here. Except with Nova Launcher. Accessibility keeps turning off.

still no soultion for this issue? im getting frust already. huh

I fond a solution for the accessibility issue
STEPS
1. Open the app enable accessibility
2. Go to the recent apps menu and block it (with the lock)
3. Then reboot and DO NOT CLOSE IT BEFORE U REBOOT
4. When you boot up you will see in the recent apps menu the app will be not there and your good to go

The Launcher Wont Stick Bug

Morning All,
as described this is annoying for nova launcher users. So is there a button remapper that works with the note 20u? I can skip the gesture navigation for now if needed. or is there an actual solution for this?
TIA

Could you please elaborate? What do you mean "launcher won't stick? You cannot set Nova as default launcher or what? I'm using Nova Prime and it's working just fine, haven't noticed so far anything unusual. Even the new gestures works with it...

I'm with @Rapier on this one we don't have enough information to help you.

He probably didn't set Nova as the default launcher and it defaults back to One UI every time he restarts
Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

It is set as def launch, when I swipe up it deselect the def launcher so it defaults to the one ui(samsung junk)

maybe more clarification is needed, goto recent screen then gesture the 'back" it will revert to one ui. Or with nav bar press home button and it will continually ask if you want to set as default launcher. Also when you goto default launcher nothing is selected. Hope this clears things up a bit.

That's strange. I have Nova Prime working perfectly since day 1, never faced the issues you're describing. Have you tried to reset to factory then install Nova first thing and try again?

Using Nova also and no problems here.

Check if you installed any new apps.
I faced this issue, when I installed cenlar (bank) app. Once I uninstalled it, it all good.

Did you ever find a writing result for this? I'd really love to know how to fix this issue.

I had this issue on the new update. What I did as a workaround is to first go to app settings and set One UI as default launcher. Then clear its cache. After that, I go to Nova Launcher and set it as the default launcher. As long as you don't restart or turn off your device, it will stick.

Question Nova Launcher or Android 13 OS problem?

I'm rooted and have mods installed, so they could be part of the problem too.
Anyone else seeing this? Every once in awhile, I'll press the "home" button on the navbar.
And instead of showing me my home screen with icons & such, it only shows my background.
I have to press the home button a second time before my icons and folders show up.

Plenty of people have this issue, some launchers don't work properly, I'm getting others issues as well like folders showing up in recents.
There's no real fix at the moment, you either change launcher or keep the issues.

Darn. Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not just me.

I haven't had any issues with Nova Launcher. I'm using the Prime version. Perhaps that makes a difference?
Have you changed the settings within the config utility?

Yep, I've had Prime Nova for many years.
I change a TON of settings in the Nova settings.
It doesn't happen often enough to make troubleshooting easy.
I guess I could try resetting it back to factory defaults for a week or so.

You mention that you're rooted and have mods installed...I would definitely look there first. I say this because I use Nova Prime on my 7 Pro and have zero issues. In fact I have been using Nova Prime on all my phones for years without any problems. YMMV

Every single third party launcher and device has this issue (and more) ever since Android 10 came out and tied Recents and Launchers together, it's worse with gesutres but can happen with navbar too.
Those who claim to not have it either ignore it, don't use their device fast or don't mind lag

Lawnchair alpha 4, no issues

Not rooted, qp beta, nova prime, no issues like that on mine.

..certainly no one can have accessibility function for gestures in nova launcher, this is due to google - android 13 security,
double tap would be a bless, so i don't understand why google is providing double tap on the back of the phone, but only strange single tap (lock screen) on the front of the device.. ?

I ran into a similar issue with Android 12 & 13 - it's a little tricky to get the gestures for Nova to work on the lock screen and provided a couple of screen shots to make things easier for you.

To enable accessibility, go to 3 dot menu in app info and bypass the restriction there.

spot-on thanks!

I followed this advice and Nova is still broken. Oh well. I guess I could try another Rom, but how do we launch the default launcher?

No problem with Nova 8.0.3 here. But i dont use navbar.
And accessibility is working as well. I use it for double tap to sleep.

I only have that occasional issue if I have a **** ton of memory hungry apps running. And I think it started with the January update

Using total launcher and something similar happens to me. When I use gestures to pull up recent apps, I'll just see my homescreen instead of the apps themselves. Very weird but the behavior still works in that I can press the screen and it goes to the last app, which is what I want majority of the time.

Nova gestures work for me via Accessibility - but only for a few hours. Then, I can't see a note in Accessibility menu for Nova non-malfunctioning. Turning the Allow toggle off and on resolves the problem, temporarily.
