1. Go to Settings, Display, and uncheck the Double-tap to wake option.
2. Go to Settings, Buttons. and make sure Enable on-screen nav bar is selected. After that go to Settings, Interface, then under Navigation Bar select the Buttons and layout option. from there you can customize the icons.
Just got my OPO too, upgrading from Cyanogen 10.2 on my last phone so I'll add a couple questions.
1. Where is the default Android browser? I only see Chrome (I like to use both for different purposes)
2. Where is Google Now? I thought it should show up on the left hand home screen by default but I don't see it.

1. Chrome is the default browser of kit kat. If your rooted u can install the AOSP browser with an app from play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller
2. Google Now works off the on screen buttons as usual. For swipe left use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
Also check for a setting on stock launcher for it, I use Nova on mine and can't check my phone now.

Thanks, yeah I figured out the stock browser was dropped in KitKat after I posted that question. I like having a second browser so I may try Firefox, Next and/or UC Browser as an alternative to the AOSP one.

Hello,
In Lollipop I would like to get the feature back where in ICS I would go into recent Apps and long press on an app and a dialog opened offering App Info and stuff.
Is it possible to get it back?
ps. I prefer running stock rooted android, but have no problems with patches
I miss that feature too. I was always used that for uninstalling recent installed apps.
More quicker IMO.

That's TERRIBLY inconvenient and TERRIBLY non-obvious.
I see exactly zero reasons why App's info cannot be shown just by long pressing the entire preview.

Wait, it didn't work for me. Using N5X 5.3. What I do is click recent apps and click on most below app icon for 3 seconds.
You have to hold the app icon and then it opens

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.
Anyone install it yet ? Experiences ?

Installing now
Seems fine on my PH1 but then I never seem to have all the weird issues others have. Stock unrooted.
Maybe a placebo, but I've noticed a marked improvement in touch and scrolling.
Edit: I've had it running the latest beta for. 12 hours, and have noticed the standby battery drain is much improved for me compared to previous betas.
Also feel faster so far. When I was travelling with maps and play music on it got painfully slow, hanging all the time. Now it looks better. But banking app still not working :/ not sure how I'm going to get it working.

My beta 4 has been working flawlessly besides the screen studder when I swipe home from within EVERY app. Getting great battery life, 6.5hr+ on screen time with every charge, with 4hrs+ of them being streaming videos. If I don't watch videos, this phone will easily last at least 3.5-4 days. All this at 60% screen brightness.
With that said, I'd hate to install beta 5 and have new issues and worse battery life.
Beta 5 has been good for me. Good battery life about as good as beta 4 was but the only issue I have is even after going full gesture navigation. It seems to go back to 3 button mode randomly and I'll have to change it back. Also I don't see the option to enable the side peek feature that was supposed to be a part of beta 5

Are you using the stock launcher? Supposedly Google added a "feature" that blocks you from using full gestures if you're using a 3rd party launcher on beta 5.

Hmm na I'm currently using rootless pixel launcher because in beta 4 on quickstep with dark theme the app drawer apps had white letters on white background unless you changed your wallpaper to a dark one.
So your saying if I use the quickstep I can also enable the peek feature?

I'm not sure about the peek feature (to be honest I don't know what that is), what I was getting at was about the navigation reverting to 3 button. If you're using something other than stock launcher, it's supposed to force you to use the 3 button navigation according to Google, so that might be why you're seeing that behavior.
Also, beta 5 fixed the dark theme issue.
Edit: Peek is working.

Hmm I still can't find the place to enable it. As I though it was supposed to be a settings button to the side of the gesture navigation

I didn't have to enable anything, it was just working. I had full gestures as my default when I flashed, and I didn't change anything after that. Looked in settings as well, no option there. I'm assuming it should be on by default.
If you're having trouble with it, disable grip rejection, that could be conflicting with it.

My beta 5 runs perfectly, besides the studder to home when I exit an app. Same issue I had on beta 4. No big deal to me because thats the only issue I have. Maybe its just because I'm using Nova launcher, idk

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.
