The main reason I use nova launcher is the gestures. For some reason I can't expand quick settings or notifications with Nova gestures on this phone. Anyone else able to do this?
Yes this is known. Can't do it on my S5. I think it's a Lollipop or Samsung Lollipop issue wit Nova.
For some reason you can't do this with the stable Nova Launcher. However, if you download the latest beta and you try it will tell you to turn on accessibility for Nova in settings and then it will work.
THANK YOU 0dBu!
My pleasure.
Broke in L.
They are aware though and it will be in the next update.
Same one her on the apex launcher

Glad it's know...not glad I have to wait for a full-on update.
The beta is super stable. Just download that and get your gestures back.

Same problem
I am using Xperia Launcher. It also has the same problem. But far better than others. Only the widgets blacks out
Its an MIUI bug
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? I would really like to run the Google Now Launcher but it is too glitchy.
Thanks!

None, I guess.. Its a problem with RAM management of MIUI that causes third party launchers to redraw so often.. You can either use Nova launcher with above mentioned setting to keep it in memory or try updating MIUI to latest version... I had the same issue with GNL in MIUI, I rooted and am using wilson's CM12.1 ROM now
Is it possible to remove the date and weather area on the pixel 2 home screen? It takes up a full row!
I also want this defeated.. maybe via substratum???
Nope, you will need to switch to another launcher, like Nova.
Nova has been sluggish for me. I'm not sure why.

Yeah that's odd. Nova has been perfect for me. @upperbladez There's also Lawn Chair Launcher on XDA that's a modified Pixel Launcher. You could try that. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/lawnchair-customizable-pixel-launcher-t3627137

I haven't tried that one. Personally I use Nova and have been for years. It's always been stellar for me.
My main complaints with Pixel Launcher was that clock app as well as the inability to remove the Google bar at the bottom. I took people's recommendations here and tried Nova Launcher. No complaints...I even decided to pay for Nova Prime so I could enable the gestures and love the 2-tap screen off, using the home button to launch settings, and the swipe down to pull the quick settings. I haven't noticed any notable lag and it doesn't appear to use that much more memory than the Pixel launcher did.
Second Nova. I bought the full version years ago, and it's fantastic.
Well I've been using Nova for years with prime. It's my go to launcher. But lately for some reason. After a day or two. There's this Nast y stutter when I open apps. When I use pixel launcher, it's smooth like it's supposed to be. Even if I close the app and open it right after it still does it. Those things bug me..lol no oun intended. So I'm just waiting for the next update. I was gonna set it up right now without the beta. I'll report back.
Anyone know a launcher which will hide the navbar. I know lineage OS has the option to hide status and/or navbar.. I don't feel like using the adb hack to go immersive mode, would be nice if a launcher offered the option
I wonder if they'll allow you to remove it in Android P. Some things they do are so illogical I don't get it.

I have DP-3 and it is still there. Things will change with the final 9.0 release but it looks like this is here to stay.
Lol why do they do that? I don't understand
Is this still unale to be removed on android 9? I need to update but have to root it so I'm being lazy.
It's there permanently by default, though of course there are many apps that allow you to toggle immersive mode without root so if you want to hide it it's very simple to do so.
Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to put Nova launcher on their Honor 8? I have recently decided to change the look of my phone a bit so i downloaded the Nova launcher (prime). I managed to modify it to my liking but there is one problem with it - i think that it is slowing my phone down a bit. App opening seems to be slower and even scrolling through pages in apps is a bit laggy (facebook, instagram, chrome, etc..). I think that my phone is working better on stock emui launcher. I really like the google feed which is not available on EMUI 5.0.1
Is there anyone else who encountered the same issue? Is there any way to fix this? I tried to change the animation time in phone and nova settings and it is not helping...
Thank you.
I have Nova on mine and it doesn't run slow at all. Maybe try turning off App Animations in the Look and Feel section?
I've been running Nova on mine for over a year, and can say that I have never noticed any slowdowns at all.
Same as the person above have been running nova launcher since i bought it back in september and havent experianced any slowdowns
Ok then the problem seem to be with my phone only. Maybe i should restore it to factory settings as i haven't done that yet. I guess i will just stay with stock emui launcher for now. .. Thanks for help

Hey just convert NOVA LAUNCHER to system app thats it. It runs flawlessly
Ran it on my Honor 8 and never noticed a slowdown with it.
Thank you for you help regarding it. I wouldn't say that the phone is lagging with Nova launcher. It just seems to be slower than with EMUI launcher which is what i don't really like. Maybe it is just in my head. I think i will stay on emui launcher for now.

How do you do that sir?
Try removing the spyware and resource hogs 'facebook, instagram' and I am sure it will run much faster its certainly not Nova.

Using magisk module!
Some tips I discovered. It starts to run smoothly after I granted acces in advanced settings security device administrator, then Apps- Special settings - ignore battery otimization, draw over the apps, write system settings
Been using Nova Classic since I got my phone. Since I love the old Holo look I prefer this version. Never looked back. Works great.
Still using my Honor 8 on Android 6 and EMUI 4.1.
See no reason to upgrade.
Is anyone else having issues using any custom launcher from the Google play store? For example, when Nova is installed and set as the launcher, when going home from an app the animation leads to a strange overlay with both the Nova and stock launcher on the display. I've attached a photo to illustrate the issue. It's worth mentioning that I'm on the latest stock China rom, nothing done to the phone at all.
I had the same issue. It was resolved after I did a reboot.

Delete data/cache of miui launcher from app menù is better
You guys should try the pocophone launcher on play store. It works great
Pocophone launcher is nice... but it lacks the Google feed integration. Otherwise I would use it.

Action launcher is good and has the Google feed, smooth and good customisation
Never had this issue on any Rom and I'm using nova launcher since I got the device.

I have never had that issue. However, using a custom launcher and trying to change the lock screen background doesn't seem to work on custom launchers unless you are using a theme. If you change the lock screen background though on the default launcher and then switch launchers, it does stick.
Hello, I recently had on my poco F2 pro european version, the update to android 11. Since this update (12.2.1.0) gesture navigation on nova laucher bug while on android 10 there was no problem. Gesture bugs occur on all alternative launchers. Only back gestures work, and Home and Recent App only works on the Home page. It is impossible to go to home when I am on facebook for example. I don't know where it comes from, after the advice on xiaomi after-sales service I carried out a factory restore but without success. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Same as you, only I'm on the global version. Tried the factory reset as well.
For me just recents don't work.
Read the link for more info
MIUI 12 issues still exist with Nova, Lawnchair, & other 3rd-party launchers
Xiaomi's MIUI 12 still casues issues with thrid-party launchers like Nova, Lawnchair, and more as per the latest user reports.

Same here, 'recents' don't work with Smart-Launcher'
Okay, from what I can see I'm not alone. Do you think this will be resolved with future updates or is android blocking this?

It's probably MIUI issue, because it works in AOSP ROMs.
Ah okay I thought the problem was similar to that android 10 at launch. What surprises me is that miui 12 under android 10 did not have this problem ...
same, i'm using lawnchair launcher. need to use default launcher for the time being.

I don't know, some say it works
Just don't update to latest "stable", it's not worth it.
In addition to lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers (a huge annoyance, since if they don't restore these, I'll probably ditch F2 and move on to something more useable, besides Poco's launcher is a proper eyesore with that big bar at the bottom). Also I've been having issues with performance, lack of smoothness & often times Youtube crashing for no reason (when I'm not using it etc.).
Holy ****! So it's not just me.. Guess it's time to root my phone
ok, i have not found a working launcher! (i have tried 12x different apps!)
btw:
Nova 7 beta has the same problem!
no way out!
btw.
i have written to nova dev. They have answered they could not do anything against that behavior because xiaomi have to do that.
Must be a Poco F2 Pro specific issue..
i have seen, that the size of newer versions of poco launcher (>v. xxx.10) was reduced more than 10mb against older versions. No wonder, that we got problems.
no differences in behaviors if miui optimization is switched to on or off. Same result!
so wie have to wait for newer firmware fixes.
I have same problem, i cant open recents, and cant use gestures with other launchers.
Can some of you recommend custom rom with "swipe gestures" and "wake up on taking up" the fone features?
