[How To] Enable Vertical Scrolling Recents w/ Alternate Launcher - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I'm sure a lot of people know about this but some may be unaware. I really don't like how Android 9.0 changed the scrolling of Recents to horizontal rather than vertical. This can be changed if your device is rooted and you're using a different launcher like Nova. Once you have your favorite launcher app installed just freeze, remove or rename the stock launcher and the recents will change back to vertical scrolling. I simply go to system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt and add .bak to the end of the apk name then reboot.

[Request] Miui Style Icons

Whoever is or has used the MIUI Rom knows that all the Icons are similar, they look the same whether they're custom made or not.
Has anyone tried make a MOD for that, so that when a APK is downloaded, the ICON comes out like a style like the other Icons?
If you don't understand, look at this picture

}
Look at the Facebook Icon and the Calculator Icon on the left side.
The Calculator is a Custom Icon, yes, but the Facebook Icon is the normal Icon with the Squareish shape around it. Anytime you would download an APK that didn't have a Custom Icon, it would still get the shape around it.
Again, has anyone attempted to make a MOD like this, or is it even possible outside the MIUI Rom.
I know in ADW EX launcher there's an option to add backgrounds to the icons just like in the MIUI ROM. However, outside of using this launcher (which is totally awesome and I highly recommend) you're just going to have to create custom ones and replace them yourself (still using either regular ADW or Launcher Pro). Hope this helps!

Does Anyone Know What Theme This Is?

I saw this in the home screens thread. The user who posted this photo doesn't seem to be that active on the boards, so I want to see if someone else may know. And also where I can get this theme from.

Is Go Launcher the name of the theme? Or is it Beautiful Widget as the other guy mentioned?
Go Launcher is the home screen application

I have the launcher and the widget
but
how did he get so many icons on one screen? I can only get 13 but there is lots of room for more
You can adjust Home Screen greed size in the Go Launcher options and than add as many icons as you prefer.
Isn't so tricky.
found it and it is fixed. thanks
You're welcome.

Layers Manager

Seen it, tried it to the point of changing the look of third party apps like Instagram and you tube.. Curious about possibility on changing the system ui layers and some other stuff.. But before that, wanna know how to revert to stock layers ? I know they are kept in system/vendor/overlay but can't copy/paste to that directory since explorer says it's read only..
OK, the layer manager got uninstall func, so that's solved but the question about changing ui still remains..
Some thoughts?

Nice

I tried the Layer and seem to work but not on all menus. For example, the menu settings by selecting color black for the background, remains white while submenus change color completely and work well. Perhaps the problem is that the layers are not include the menu "cover" and "safety", which is used on our terminal.
If any user is able to create layers would be great thing.
Yes, the same happened to me. For apps it works great but UI makes a problem.. For now I personally use it for Google play store, and Android keyboards to get dimmer layout.

Add Edge more Gestures to Android 10 stock gestures.

Hi
I'm loving the Evolution X rom and I really like the Pixel experience this gives me on my Oneplus 6T. I like the app animations with the pixel launcher / recents.
However the back gesture on Android 10 is awful. It is really unreliable whether it actually goe back, or opens thehamburgere menu or swipes something on screen. I've tried changing all the options in the ROM and it is just bordering on unusuable. The OnePLus gestures were much better.
I tried Fluid Navigation Gestures, but this fully replaces the Android 10 gesture system compeltely and means you lose the smooth app closing animation and the app switching animations.
So here's my question: Is there a way I can just add some additional gesture areas without switching the entire gesture system? So basically leave the regular gesture system in place, but just add a couple of 'swipe up to go back' areas like Oneplus?

Showing last phone screen on launcher bug

First of all, sorry if this isn't the right place. It would not allow me to post in question/answers.
I am experiencing a bug (Note 20 Ultra N9860, HK version but being used in the States) where I end a call and the last screen from the phone app is permanently overlaid over the launcher screen. This is not the app itself... It's not actually there and I can still launch icons that are beneath the overlay as if it wasn't there. It does this with several launchers. Nova is preferred but it does not go away when I switch back to the Samsung launcher. It's also visible when I go into the app switcher... Not sure if this is a coincidence but the overlay is the exact same size as the app previews in the app switcher.
I've attached some photos... Including one with the pop up view to show the difference as several people I've told about this bug think it's that and I'm dumb lol. There's also one of it showing using the app switcher.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? The only thing I can do it restart the phone everytime I hang the phone up.

Oh and BTW I am on stock firmware.
did you experiment with call display when using other apps under settings? In case it makes a difference.
was the issue always there, since you got the phone?
try with Google phone dialer?
