Apparently after updating the oneplus laucher app, the navigation gesture home action stops working and my system update page crashes. Flashing Oxygen OS and not updating the launcher in play store fixes the problem. But it is still not the updated app. I use Magisk and Substratum on Oxygen OS. I've cleared cache both app and phone. Any idea how to fix this ?
Im running the latest pixel launcher with QuickSwitch. Over night, all the functionality relating to app suggestions disappeared from my phone. This includes the row in the drawer, recent apps and google search using the widget. I suspect this was server side as non of the google services were updated overnight. The app suggestions toggle is also missing from the "Home settings" menu. App suggestions is one of my most used features and I would appreciate if some you guide me in the right direction to get them back.
Sidenote: The suggestions option in lawnchair q beta/leak crashes the app (not sure if related).
What I have tried:
Clearing data/cache for all google related apps.
Downgrading to an older version of google/pixel launcher app.
Modifying build.prop to appear as pixel 3
Pulling pixel launcher apk from a pixel 2 with working suggestions
Trying the same setup on a s10 (also missing suggestions)
Device: OnePlus 7 Pro
Oxygen OS 10.0.1
Google 10.82.8.21
QuickSwitch 2.1
Pixel launcher v10 (28 sep)
Update: solved here is the guide
Nevermind
It seems that I can only theme system apps. WhatsApp, Google home, Google translate... Etc. stay as they are even though the theme is installed and active.
10.5.7.IN21BA
Magisk 20.4
No major issues with Swift Installer, here. But thing is, a certain app can't be themed until an update provides a proper overlay for it.
I'd stay away from substratum, however. One wrong move, such as an incompatible overlay, could be problematic. I've found that out the hard way.

Even when they're updated, user apps don't change for me. System apps like Google Chrome change theme just fine but user apps like Google translate don't.
Pixel launcher has the annoying search bar on its home screen which is irremovable.
Nova launcher is arguably the best for customizability. But there's something that ticks me off when using Nova. Whenever you open recent apps the transition isn't smooth as with Pixel. It has a small hiccup.
(See https://imgur.com/a/lewvZu3 for what I mean)
I tried almost every launcher on the market and they all had the same problem.
So I contacted Nova's development team to give them my feedback. This is what they had to say:
"Hello,
PLEASE READ THIS RESPONSE IN FULL!
You can read Google's official statement and our statement about the issues you and anyone else using Android 10 and Android 11 are experiencing. Please take note that Google admits to this being broken on their end of things and that a fix will be coming in a future update to Android(Stated March 2019.).
However, it's now well over a year later and there are still many issues with full system gestures and 3rd party launchers on both Android and Android 11. These issues will remain for the foreseeable future as Google has no plans to completely fix their full system gestures.
This includes things such as the CLOSE ALL/CLEAR ALL button not showing up when you access the Recent Apps screen. As well as a delay of being able to tap on app icons when returning to the home screen from another app, from viewing the Recent Apps screen or anything similar.
These problems will still be there when Android 11 is released in its final form as Google has made it clear it's not going to fix/change things any time soon.
Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING WE CAN DO TO FIX OR CHANGE THIS IN ANY WAY! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as contacting any launcher developer isn't the correct thing to do and isn't going to accomplish anything.
SAMSUNG USERS: Samsung has enabled full system gestures to be enabled within 3rd party launchers with their One UI 2.5 update. This means you can enable those gestures, but things are still very broken, especially when it comes to animations and how smooth the gestures work. This is NOT something Nova, or any other 3rd party launcher can fix. Only Google can fix it.
In the end, none of this is something we(Nova) can fix or change in any way and neither can any other 3rd party launcher for that matter. It is ultimately up to Google and only Google to fix full system gestures completely. Though they have made it clear that full system gestures will remain broken even with the final release of Android 11 and likely well beyond that.
We understand that this statement was made during a beta version of Android 10. However, as is stated in the below URL, this issue will remain broken even after Android 10, and now Android 11, is released in its final form. What this means is that Google knew well ahead of time that they had no plans to fix this until much later so it's still a relative issue today.
GOOGLE'S STATEMENT:
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/07/android-q-beta-5-update.html
OUR STATEMENT:
https://help.teslacoilapps.com/faq/gesture-navigation
As of the December 2019 Security Patch from Google, you can now enable full system gestures within 3rd party launchers. However, please note, there are still a lot of issues with the gesture system such as animations not working, Close All button not showing up and several other things. This is not something any launcher developer, including us here at Nova, can fix or change in any way.
This is still all up to Google to fix at some point in the future and to get things working 100% the way everyone expects them to be.
If you experience any issues at all while using full system gestures, it is highly suggested that you contact Google directly and/or file bug reports with them directly so that your voice can be heard by them directly.
ACTION LAUNCHER'S FALSE CLAIMS: Action Launcher made an announcement back in late December 2019, is actually misleading and 100% incorrect. They are referring to the back swipe edit zones and similar stuff. Full system gestures are completely controlled by Android and not something a launcher can just suddenly add support for or change in any way.
If you actually try to use the full system gestures in Action Launcher, you'll see they are still as broken as they have been and will remain that way until Google fixes things themselves."
Edit: uploaded an animated gif of the example but XDA converted it to a still image, so I had to upload on imgur.
I'm using Nova as well. Have you also had an issue when swiping up and holding to access recent apps, the apps fill the entire screen instead of showing the smaller preview window?

Just updated to A11 beta and the bugs are gone. It's working smoothly now.
The gestures work fine if you're willing to root and use QuickSwitch with a supported launcher. (No third party launchers support A11 with QuickSwitch yet though)

i have this problem on a oneplus ,Do you have enable the navigation with gestures?
when i use navigation bar this issue solve it most of the times its a common problem on nova for not having all the code for android 10 as nova tell that navigation gestures on android 10 are not totally compatible with the launcher

Search bar can be removed and more options.
See this thread
Just make sure you get the right files for A10, I have not tested on A11 yet.

Awesome! Thanks!
Hello there,
I just updated the Oneplus Launcher (to version 5.0.2.3.210107152713.2314693) via the PlayStore and since then it immedately stopps working as soon as i press home / recents. This happens also when I switch to an alternative launcher like Nova. When I try to uninstall the Oneplus Launcher from the PlayStore, the phone is not responsive when opening home / recents. With Nova the OP launcher no longer crashes, but looks kinda weird:

I am having the same problems with older versions of the launcher from apkmirror. It either does not respond or immediatly crashes.
I am running stock OxygenOS 10.3.7 on the OnePlus 6.
Any help is appreciated :3
Hey there!
I'm currently going through exactly the same, also on a OP6 running OxygenOS 10.3.7. After I uninstalled all launcher updates in the app settings I now get the same weird-looking recents menu as you do. At least it works again.
I tried installing several prior versions from apkmirror.com but all of the 5.x versions lead to a non-working menu and home button. All 4.x versions result in this ugly recent screen.
I'll let you know as soon as I find a solution.
Greetings, hundertzwoelf
Edit:
Oh my..I figured it out. The problem was caused by an overlay I had installed via the Swift Installer. After uninstalling the theme it all works very well for me.
Uninstalling all my Substratum themes solved the issue for me too, thanks.
