Nova Launcher Frequently Used Apps Menu - General Questions and Answers

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!

[Q] Need help with ADW setting

Hi all,
I have a purchased version of ADW Launcher. (ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3)
I cannot figure out to get the home screen button on my NS to show the 5 screens all at the same time, then I select the screen I want to go to.
Right now, when I press the home screen button, it just goes straight to the middle screen.
I used to be able to do it with the free version of ADW.

Pinch to zoom on the home screen. You can modify pressing what does what in the ADW settings.
Edit: Menu -> ADW Settings -> General Behavior -> Gestures -> Home button binding

where is the menu softkey

I'm trying to acccess apex launcher settings from home screen and I can't do it
The menu softkey is usually a series of 3-4 dots stacked up. Either in the lower left next to the recent apps softkey, or sometimes in the upper right.
Oka..
I have seen this and I noticed that with apex and nova the menu button does not show when on home screen.. I have been using aokp and manually enabled menu however once pressed it does nothing.. This would indicate to me that when in tablet mode these launchers disable the menu.. Most likely have to open the application draw then press the menu in top right corners.. OR put a shortcut to the apex settings on your home screen

Locking the home screen with Nova Launcher

Hi. I'm new to Nova Launcher. I have a Samsung phone and I'm using Nova to replace "Samsung Home Experience" which I guess used to be Touchwiz. One of the things I don't like about the Samsung Launcher is that my home screen is sensitive to long presses to the very edges of the screen. I can't disable that. So it's easy to long press by accident at the edges of the screen with your hand when holding the phone. When you do, the home screen switcher mode is activated. Then you have to press screen to bring home screen back to top. Annoying.
One of the the reasons I became interested in Nova launcher is because you can lock the home screen. So I did that. However, whenever a long press takes place on the home screen, a message stating the screen has been locked pops up... Can I disable this notification since I know that the screen is locked since I set it this way? This way my hand won't set off the notification, just like it did with the home screen switcher? 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.

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.
