Also, I found a way to enable the clipboard on gboard and enable the sand theme & it actually sticks. (For some reason just setting the clipboard to true and the sand theme to true won't work normally)
Use root explorer, go to
data/user/0/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
Then shared prefs & long press "exp_config.xml" & change the SE context to "u : object_r : shell_exec:s0"
You don't have to manually input that you can select it from the list. Then edit the "exp_config.xml" file & change clipboard to true and Sand theme to true. Since you changed the SE contex it'll actually work and the clipboard and theme won't disappear. But if you're using Smurf kernel for some reason it doesn't stick. The the sand theme is so dope looking

Hey, you can just edit the name in the url for another app url name & join their full beta program too, I joined about 50 full beta programs last week.

Can this launcher be used on a pixel 2xl? Desperately want to have the new gestures, and I don't think there is an oxygen os port available for my device. (Lineage has a lot of features but I'm not sure it's compatible neither). It'll be a couple months before I get a OnePlus 6t
Thanks

I'm still busy cleaning up the cyber week deals. I actually was browsing a website that was so run through they had pixel dock & pixel buds listed for 0.00 . I was like that's a great deal. So I ordered them . I paid zero for pixel dock & buds ?. Then Google fudged up some of my shipments so I got 25 Google play credit & 50 Google store credit. Then I tore up Google Express with promo codes & made best buy do some hefty price matchs. I'm almost done. Just got to get my pixel XL 3 fog case ordered with a promo code then I can finally see?Wait what I'm I testing out again. This thread is about the beta launcher sign up even know it's full. Ok and you want me to test it on my pixel phone to see if it works. If I can put my OnePlus 6 down I'll try

I realized, the new launcher requires you to enable the gestures in the settings app (native to oxygen os?)
I wonder if the apk could be modified to enable the new multitasking UI gestures? I wonder if it could be added to an existing custom rom?
Just spitballing, it seems people have the new launcher working on some asop pie roms, however I'd like to see the tmobile version of the launcher (i think some with root are swapping or using modules etc on international versions) with the google feed, and the new nav gestures to boot.)
cheers,

Bro if the devs get onePlus launcher working on the pixel rom, Thatd be hella cool. OnePlus gestures are the biz
OnePlus has gone all Hollywood now though. They some tryN to support the Devs no more, accept blu Sparks. He fixes what they don't. First they got rid of the OnePlus girl who knows what's coming next, that's why I ain't getting rid of my OnePlus 6 it could be the last of the best OnePlus devices
What thread is this what is going on is this future or past.
I'll see you again in 25 years ?

Ok, I meant 25 minutes, my bad my Gboard gots the clipboard set as shell sporting the same theme in beta and I was watching twin peaks the return so Google Assistant entered years and did the Lara Palmer hand thing, not me. But the Gboard is so dope work sand theme.. I tried to type to type a tutorial on how to get it to stick, but my gboard and my teaching skills I guess they ain't that good cuz no one think me. You see you can't get the clipboard and the sand thing to stick especially on Smurf kernel. But it probably got buried. No one likes me on XDA. Cuz I'm getting up to get down. And I don't if OnePlus launcher works in the pixel XL 3. Cuz I just try to download it and then I just was like, forget this, I'm signing up for the free month of project fee right now that just started a couple hours ago. Pixel lunchers is the biz ,I was like OnePlus who. This phone is the business the pixel 3 XL. The OnePlus 6 way too fast for me, I'm already fast enough and then you had all that ran and speed and quick charge I stopped sleeping. So I think the answer is no I don't know I got to go hit up the pixel 3 XL forms. That's where everyone's going. OnePlus went Hollywood and stop the dev program

I'm so sorry about so the post. My friends unlocked my phone when I passed out in adb mode with face unlock and did that. I didn't spam my own thread.. I'm already got about of write ups. Don't be like that guy that works at the bank as a teller.. don't tell mr. Wizard good thing he's on Christmas break

[Help] How to Reduce Lag in P20 with EMUI 9

Hello all, happy new year 2019!
I just bought the Huawei P20 4/128 (Malaysian Set - Midnight Blue). I directly updated it to EMUI 9 after finished all initial setup, factory reset it and the setup everything from scratch. The EMUI 9 itself is fine, as I previously owned a Honor Play for 1 month before I sell it because of bad camera quality.
However, I find this phone is occasionally lagged or not so smooth as I expected for such a phone with Kirin 970 processor, especially when navigating inside 3rd party apps. Coming from Xiaomi Mi 8, it's no brainer that Mi 8 with MIUI 10 is way more responsive and speedy. But, the performance with 3D games such as Asphalt 9 with highest graphics setting is no issue at all.
I already tried to:
- Uninstall bunch of useless Huawei's bloatware such as FB, preinstalled games, etc with adb shell method (since I don't have root access)
- Change the windows animation speed to none in Developers Options
- Clear the cache in EMUI Recovery
It helps a little bit to make this phone smoother but not as smooth as Mi 8 or Honor Play (which is weird, considering the Honor Play is positioned below the P20).
Do you guys here care to share about your experience with your P20 and EMUI 9? Do you also experience what I just described above?
Thank you

Try to enable performance mode in battery settings, it helped me to reduce lag a little bit

I would suggest you to enable "force gpu rendering" under developer options. I'm on emui 8.1 and mostly lag free. However, i agree about the responsiveness issues, I own an OG Pixel, and used to own an OP3T, they are both more responsive. I'm probably not gonna buy Huawei again!

I'm sure it would reduce a lag a little bit but I have to sacrifice the battery life and I need to carry the supercharger everywhere I go :crying:

I tried to enable force gpu rendering option as suggested and yes it helps to reduce the lag a bit (thanks!), but still not so smooth as Mi 8 or Honor Play that I owned before this P20. I think the main issue was the EMUI itself or the kernel isn't really optimized by Huawei's dev.

It's emu9. I have a honor play and updated to emui9 and couldn't use it because of the lag so I downgraded back to emui8.

I think it's the P20 phone overall. I'm in EMUI 8.1, and there is noticeable lag unless i turn down the screen resolution to hd+, Huawei is pathetic!

i remove most of huawei ****ty apps.
my launcher is nova and no lags in emui9

Interesting.. my battery life and performance is better with emui 9.0 than with emui 8.1.
Maybe do a factory reset?

Got EMUI 9 today. I think it's a bit faster than 8.1, lags less for sure. I am not a big fan of the new look tho!

yes, message app, preinstaled facebook, launcher, weather... really was a lot of huawei ****, dont rememember

I also removed/disabled most of Huawei's pre-installed apps using the ADB Shell methods, but only the non-essentials such as Facebook (and all of its inheritance). I choose to keep the Huawei's gallery app, app market, etc because I think these apps was baked into EMUI itself and I afraid if I disabled them it will make the system unstable.

Yes, I would also reccomand this, not to delete essentials apps which are deeply integrated into EMUI.

Does anyone here regularly enjoy the fun contents from the 9GAG app? I noticed that this app is lagging so much, the strange thing is, this does not happen with my previous phone. Navigating the maps in Google Maps also resulted in lags.
Anyone here experienced the same issue? Honestly, I don't want to part ways with my beloved P20 (especially after I bought the RhinoShield SolidSuit Carbon Fibre case, it's expensive but really worth the price), but my honest opinion is the performance for day to day use sometimes is not acceptable anymore for the phone in this price point. Now, I'm thinking of selling this very pristine condition P20 and get the second hand Galaxy S9 since it's getting much cheaper now
*EDIT:
I tried to disable all Knuckle Gestures and Advanced Visual Effect in Accessibility. Sure, the animation effect is a little bit off now. However, I feel the overall system is much responsive now.

Want to buy a vivo nex, couple of questions

How bad is the os? i understand i can only install a third party launcher in the global version. I saw this one in amazon https://www.amazon.com/Snapdragon-A...C6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= could anyone tell me if it's the global version or not? Also, could i use substratum on it?. Also, is it possible to modify the swipe from the bottom for settings ? is the screen as good as the note 8? (phone i currently own). How good are the cameras? does the assistant button trigger google assistant on the global version? thanks everyone

Hi. I am using vivo nex s global and first thing i installed was nova launcher. It's more comfortable for me. I can't compare display with note 8 but i heard it is very similar. AI button can be set to Google assistant. And to that cameras: selfie camera is good but not the best and main cameras are somwhere between iphone 7 and iphone 8. Especially in low light

I don't have any problems or complaints with Funtouch. I have yet to use other launchers, but if I did, I'd probably would have complaints as I would've conformed to the other launcher.
The picture below shows the bottom slide up menu using gestures. The red circle shows settings icon when you slide up to access this menu. You can't assign a gesture for settings, but you can switch gesture location from left to right.

Reading the questions about playstore, seller says it can be installed. Global version comes with it pre-installed. Also seller says nova can't be used. I think it's Chinese version and not global, I'd avoid.

Vertical recent apps Android 10?

Is there any way to get vertical recent apps on Android 10 open beta? The horizontal recent is pretty much useless as it only shows one app on the screen.

Normally you install another launcher (Apex Classic as an option) and you have it (back).

Hmm try using an alternative launcher and freezing/disabling the oneplus launchers

If freezing / disabling is what it takes, that is a pity for bon-rooters. That would really be customer unfriendly. I hate this whole gesture based thing because I use my fix gestures since 2014 when I started using Apex launcher. It would mean I need to reprogram my brains.

Freezing also breaks gestures

Perhaps soon it'll be introduced:

Here's hoping anyway!

I disabled the horizontal recents in pie.
Now after the update to 10, I don't have recents at all.
I reinstalled the oneplus Launcher. Still no recents.
Any ideas?

Is there any solution for this, the recent apps on the oneplus 7 pro is just horrible
Although the 7 pro is a brilliant phone, Oxygen isnt that great : I come from a Samsung with goodlock and i have to say that i am disappointed at the lack of options in oxygen.

Not that I know of, unfortunately. I've actually just forced myself to get used to it....

There is no vertical recents provider in Android 10.

I have looked all over the playstore for an app that can do something like this but sadly nothing.
As an alternative i am using Jina sidebar and sort the apps there by last used.
Everyone complains about samsung's UI and raves about oxygen, but now that i have it i feel very much opposite
Oneplus 7 pro hardware is fantastic certainly for the price i paid for it, but the software leaves a lot to be desired. Sadly the country i live in has no possibilities for returning your purchase, otherwise i would run back to samsung.
Come on oneplus, make some software !

Any updates on this matter ?
When hell freezes over I'll get used to this stupid horizontal app switcher
If at least I could remap that button to one of those third party recent apps, but not even that.
Once ago (android P) I could freeze the default launcher, and things went back to normal. Now, if I freeze the launcher, nothing comes up.
I think back then the default provider was replaced by an alternative provider, which I would gladly download again if I remembered the name. Something with "quick" on it.

Oppo find X2 launcher

Can third-party launchers now be used on color OS 7.1
Oppo find X2
And does Android messages working group texting?

Here i am using Nova Launcher, seems to work perfectly

OPPO also blocks third-party Launcher, at least in the CN version. You can only deactivate the original launcher.
gestures no longer work

I installed nova launcher first and then used abd to uninstall com.oppo.launcher .
Nova launcher started, but the task button and gestures did not work.
How did you switch without problem?

Not sure how you'd do it without the oppo launcher being installed. I just made Nova Launcher the default when asked. Try App Management, Default Apps

Thank you for your reply, but sorry
My find x2 pro is probably the Chinese version.
On default app in app management, i can't show choice for system apps.
So I'm looking for other way to change it with adb etc.

Hey guys,
I had the CN x2, but the restrictions were too big and I sold it again. 1. I hope that there will be a root as soon as it falls below 1000 euros in Europe and is therefore affordable for more people. Had my search, because of Nova, found this and it went pretty well. Only important for the CN version

Did you ever manage to figure out how to get the task button to work?

Hello,
I contacted Oppo's support about third party launcher. They seems suprised it is not possible to use another one. They will look deeper in this issue as , for the moment, it is not possible to select another launcher as homescreen in default apps, for chinese rom.
I hope they will deploy a fix for it

Finally, Oppo's support just answered me that this feature is not supported by this device.
I am quite disappointed and think about selling this great phone in order to go to another brand ( maybe oneplus 8 pro )....

It's supported on non-CN models. Only CN locks out launcher switch. Same with the 5 autostart Apps.
