Menu(s) and Nova Launcher - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Have used Nova over klast 5 vphones. I have always had the ability to add a longpress to back key to get a menu including System Settings and Nova settings. I have accessibilityy and device control both on for Noba.
I'm sure I just forgot something. The back and preview button do not have entries under the Nova Gesture & Inputs settings.

[APP] QuickDesk Pro and LauncherPro - A Double-Tapping story

Hello,
I have an annoying behavior with QuickDesk and LauncherPro. It's kind of hard to explain, I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I'm using QuickDesk Pro [QDP] as the default Launcher and LauncherPro [LP] is set as the Favorite Launcher in QDP. I want to launch QDP by double-tapping the Home key and LP is set to single-tap. Doing the other way QDP as single-tap and LP as double-tap does the same thing.
When I tap "Home" a single time, it doesn't do the set behavior settings, which is "Open/Close screen previews" in LP. As a test, I set the Home key action, in LauncherPro, to "Hide/Show status bar". Then, when I press Home, the bar disappears at first. If I press it again, it appears and disappears immediately.
QuickDesk Pro's "Double Tap Timing" is set to 150ms, but I've tried to 1000ms, 750ms, 500ms and the same thing always happens.
It was as if the "Home" action was conflicting with both apps. I've tried many settings in both apps, but I can't seem to find a way to fix this (if user fixable). I've also tried to add LauncherPro to the "Translucent Exclusion List" in QDP, but it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else is using QDP and LP? And if you don't have this strange behavior, what are your settings please?
Thanks!
try checking the "Home button hack setting" or some thing like that in QuickDesk Pro, maybe it'll get what you need
This topic really needs to be labelled [Q] rather than [APP].
I have seen this behavior personally and not just with Quickdesk but any app you set as the default home app and then set LP to be your favorite launcher within this app.
The result will always be the lose of a few LP functionalities, most notably one tap on the home key.
The issue is definitely a conflict when setting LP as the favorite launcher and another app as the default Home. Only the developers of these apps can make them compatible, not something likely to happen.
I am using Enom's ROM which allows me to select what app to launch when double tapping the home key. So I set LP as the default Launcher and set the double-tap home key action and selected LP Activities and then launched Quickdesk's actual functionality, this worked nicely.

Nova Launcher Frequently Used Apps Menu

I'm using Nova Launcher 5.5.1. On the bottom-half right edge of the screen is a line, if you touch it this menu appears. I don't know what this menu is called in Nova Settings. Does anyone know how to completely turn this off? I keep accidentally pressing it.
Its from Sesame Shortcuts. Go in to settings and turn off screen edge.
Thanks!

Issues with stock launcher and swipe up from home

Anyone else who is using the stock launcher experiencing this (already submitted issue)?
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-not-working-properly-when-in-an-app.1020737/
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.

Tethering shortcut?

Hi,
New to oxygen. How do I add a wifi tethering shortcut to the top drawer?
Currently it takes 6-7 clicks to get to the menu.
Running 9.5.7.GM21AA
Hi, you can do that by following these steps
1) Install Nova launcher. Don't need to use it as default launcher.
2) Once installed, long press on home screen and select "widgets"
3) Scroll down and tap and hold " Nova launcher Activities”
4) Scroll down and expand "Settings"
5) Once Settings is expanded, scroll down and tap "Hotspots & Tethering".
Now you have a shortcut straight to Tethering saving you 3-4 taps.
You should be able to add the icon to your QuickSettings labled "Hotspot"

It worked perfectly on MiUI 12. There was a "Tethering and portable hotspot option"

Question Just got a J716F, how can I change launcher?

Just trying to make my new tablet with China ROM feel like home, and want to use my normal launcher "Action Launcher" couldn't figure out how to override the gesture, so turned on the navigation buttons, but the home button does do anything. Anyone know how I can fix the home button, or override the home gesture?
Also the quick tiles, I notice that it doesn't use standard android quick tiles, so the apps that usually have quick tiles don't show up. Can I add more tiles?
Tablet did OTA update to 13.0.364, and I do have L1 windvine. Anything else I should do?
Nova Launcher works great for me. You can then set it to the default launcher. I keep the Lenovo gestures and have added a home button to the home screen.
