Yup! First thing I did! Scrolling wallpaper is the only thing I've found that doesn't work. The Edge screen is it's own entity, so it plays just as well with Nova, although it means Nova can't dictate different Icons for the Edge.
Hi guys,
I'm new here and this is my first post, but I'm hoping maybe one of you can help me.
I just bought the 16 gb with 2 gb of ram model, and I'm having an issue with the home screen (EMUI "launcher") reloading. This happens mostly after using Chrome and it takes 1-2 seconds to reload/re-draw the home screen. I'm guessing Android closes the launcher because of low RAM, but I have never had this on even lower spec phones.
Any of you experienced the same or have a fix? Factory reset didn't work by the way.
Thank you!
You protect the launcher in settings. It happens to me on another phone and launcher.

Thanks for replying! I can't find a setting to protect the launcher in the setting. It's the whole EMUI interface that's reloading. Have you experienced this on your Huawei MT7?
Sometimes I do get but I am using another launcher. You are right that the default launcher is not present in the list of protected applications. Right now I am using zero launcher which looks very good. Give it a try and see if reloads occur or not.

Hi all. ...I'm having an issue with my AT&T Note 8 since the other day when it applied the April security update. Since the update, my home screen wallpaper no longer rotates to the landscape position. It's strange in that the icons do rotate.........BTW,I'm using the Apex launcher but I also tried the Nova launcher with the same outcome.
Any help would be appreciated. ....
P.S. Mods feel free to move this to the proper place if this isn't it ........LOL

Thanks for posting this. I have the same issue on Sprint since the April security update. I thought I had bumped a setting somewhere or something. It's been driving me nuts. Although I have no fix, at least I know it's not just me
I've contacted Apex and Nova.... we'll see what they say and I'll update....?

I just got the May update for the Sprint Note 8, but the problem was not fixed.
Hey I didn't see anyone else ask this and hopefully I won't get chastised for it... But I love the pixel launcher. The S10 can use the Google one in the app store, but the 10+ can't (says it's incompatible). Does anyone know of another way to get it? I really like being able to swipe right and see the Google feed. Before it gets said, not a fan of bixby. Thanks in advance!

Download Nova Launcher and make your launcher however you want it to be
try lawnchair alpha launcher, works pretty good and gives you the pixel-y look.

I've used Nova for a while back in the day but can't figure out if/how to be able to swipe right and bring up the Google Feed. Is it possible?

Download nova companion app and in gestures select swipe right to show Google feed and you are done.
Download lawnchair alpha. Almost identical to the pixel launcher. Came from a pixel 2xl and missed the launcher. This perfectly replicates it.

Nova was nice but MAN I didn't know there was a secondary Lawnchair. Someone else said it but I thought he meant reg for a min till I looked it up.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ITS PERFECT
I currently use cpl launcher and also installed cpl Google feed. Feels just like the pixel.

Try this Follow Lawnchair – Releases on Telegram: https://t.me/lawnchairci
It's the lawnchair 2 based of the pixel launcher. It's really good.
I want the real pixel launcher can that even be ported?

If you like the Pixel launcher, you probably need to get a Pixel phone, not a samsuing

Lawnchair version 2 alpha will probably the closest you can get to the pixel launcher on a Samsung device, and it works very well with a lot of options.

Such an ignorant thing to say. So someone can't buy a phone simply because they like the hardware? Do you change the launcher on your phone? What did you use? Nova? Action launcher? My guess is you do know most launchers are trying to mimic the pixel launcher, right?

Is there anyway to get folders in the app drawer? I couldnt find anything when I quickly was trying to set it up. Thats what is keeping me on Nova right now just because I like to have minimal icons in app drawer to find the stuff I use a lot
This lawnchair v2 is so much better than the first version. I didn't even have to sideload a lawn feed app to get Google feed. The customizations are great. Google should take a hard look at this work done with their launcher and integrate these features.

Thanks for the useless comment. I had a Pixel 3 XL. Went to an iPhone for work, then got to go back to Android and chose the S10+.
Not sure why people can't just be helpful instead of making snide comments. Anyway.
This Lawnchair v2 is perfect. Loving it and it's updates have been great. Thanks for the info peepz!

Sorry about that, I did try it once, but I still enjoy the original launcher
Hey there, first time posting here.
Recently bought this phone, great piece of tech ( the only smartphone under 6.5" worthy of spending money on)
At the beginning the battery was performing poorly, but after the latest July update it has been quite a pleasurable surprise to get great battery life and not having to charge the phone every day. Everything alright till now, untill the phone occasionally started to freeze straight after unlocking it without the possibility to interact with, unless I would lock\unlock it again (really annoying especially when in a hurry).
But the most frustrating (for some weird reason) is the Home app refresh. I'm currently using Nova launcher Prime, and if I return home, it randomly refreshes the launcher looking like there's a memory management issue. Feels like having a really old android phone...
Anyone else having the same problems?
Any fix? (Please don't tell me to switch to the super boring stock launcher).
Thanks for the attention.

how about rooting your phone removing the stock launcher and install the third party one as a system app
