Evening all.
My recent apps have suddenly decided to display in stack mode, not the swipeable horizontal page mode.
No idea why, don't like it, and haven't found a way to restore/change it back.
Many thanks for any help.
*EDIT* - Solved. I'm using Nova and had frozen the OP launcher in TiBU. Defrosting it (but still keeping Nova as my default launcher) fixed it.
I also use Nova and don't freeze OnePlus Launcher in Titanium Backup just because I want this recents horizontal style. It's a shame Nova doesn't have this feature natively.

Don't freeze/uninstall Oneplus Launcher. Or you could install quickswitch magisk module and install lawnchair change the recents provider to it which will give you back the horizon pages.

Ok, So I use Go Locker, and i disabled the homekey during lockscreen for security. But I have a problem that I use Nova Launcher, and sometimes when i have apps i sometimes swipe away the launcher, its a bit annoying is there a way to stop the launcher from getting in to recent app list where you switch apps and stuff. I am running 4.2.2. My launcher is Nova. I tried Keep Alive thing in romtoolbox pro app but that doesn't stop from launcher from appearing in the list.
To see the list of recently called (active) apps - I have to long-press "Menu" button, which is not very comfortable. How to make it work with swiping on screen upward? Are there any configuration settings for that in kitkat?

If you are rooted you can try with xposed framework and gravity box or some other modules that allow you to change your navbar settings or your hard keys configuration.

I do have root, but xposed - or rather its modules, but it's almost the same - does not work at my phone (Alcatel Idol X+).

You can have this gesture, but not while using an app. That's because this would interfere with scrolling or possible app gestures.
I have the exact gesture set to open recent apps with Nova Launcher.
Install Nova launcher, go to Nova settings, gestures and buttons and set the swipe up gesture to open Recent Apps.
This will work when you are on one of your home screens, but not in apps, like I said.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi, thanks. The matter is that I use the launcher, which I don't wish to change. I've been using it for a while and I find it the most suitable for me. It's Launcher Pro. Mostly because it allows to make a bottom bar of shortcuts scrollable, fitting there more than 4-5 icons. Also it's quite fast and does not drain battery.

Nova launcher does this as well. It's incredibly light and fast. Very customizable. Give it a shot. You might like it.
It's considered by many the best android launcher.
I have the paid version and nova launcher is always my first installed app after flashing any rom.
To activate the dock (bottom bar) pages, go to nova settings, dock, dock pages. You can also set the number of dock icons and a lot of other stuff actually

Thanks, the launcher itself is good, but as to swiping action - it seems does not solve my problem. The swiping works if it happens on blank zone. On my Meizu firmware, when I, for instance, had some PDF opened full-screen - I could swipe from bottom of screen or side - if being in landscape orientation - and recent apps bar appeared, so I could call dictionary or encyclopaedia, whatever, and the same way back. It was fast and comfortable. Here it does not work...

Yep. Like I said, it only works from one of the home screens. Don't know what else to suggest unfortunately

In case someone is interested, more or less normal way to do it - "All in one gesture" application. It adds a small "hot spot" zone to drag from.
I have installed and configured the Nova Launcher, primer version, and everything looks fine but the phone keeps resetting to the default launcher.
I have tried changing the default launcher in EMUI and from the settings in Nova Launcher, but it always goes back to the default launcher after a while.
Is anyone else experiencing the same annoying issue? If yes, any suggestions on how to permantly fixed this?
i had the exact same issue when i first installed Nova. So i uninstalled it(just Nova, not Prime) and reinstalled and all is good.
Only if I have some live wallpaper set up and I uninstall it. Then the Nova will crash and emui resets back to original launcher

I'm using nova from the beginning and no issues at all.
I think I've read somewhere that you cannot use Huawei's widget along with nova launcher.
So maybe remove any widget that came with Huawei? Including the time widget.
I used to have this problem until I turned off all the optimisations for nova launcher.
Do you like the One Plus Launcher ?
I always use Nova Launcher I like the Google integration which I think you can not do with the native launcher ?
Lean launcher or Lawnchair are both better than either.
Nova is better but if the op launcher had the search in the doc like the ones in pixel then i would gladly use op launcher till then Nova ftw.
So, what about the 1+6 launcher? The title of this post brought me here, hoping to get some info on it. Never tried op1 launcher, anything exciting? I see their icon groups in my phone apps, very colorful.
I like the side drawer for widgets on the 1+ launcher, but the search and icon packs in Nova
I use Apex because I prefer a minimalist shell. It is one of the first things I load on to a new phone. I was so glad to come back to that after spending a (horrible) year on an iPhone 8+. That was a Truly Awful Experience. I couldn't even tell you how malleable the OnePlus shell is- I just never tried. Can it be made rather simplistic- removing the search bar, full monochrome icon branding, etc.? Apex is skinnable like Nova is- same skins work for either I'm told.
I prefer to use Nova due to its customized gesture features. I only have 8 folders and no dock on my home screen, so Nova is the only 1 that allows me to dbl tap the home screen to open up dialer, or anything else that i set it to. Something i do often when driving.
Definitely Nova Launcher. By far the most customizable launcher out there and very theme or icon pack works with Nova. Smooth, snappy and if you sing up for the beta program, you get fairly frequent updates with newest stuff all the time.
Nova...
still not replaceable for me

Evie launcher over Holo, Nova and basic oneplus launcher
Try the Evie launcher, if you are like me and want to have most important items on the main home page.
in comparison to the oneplus launcher, you can remove the bottom row icons, which take too much space.
I'd rather have a newsfeed in the bottom to stay up to date, above that a smaller app drawer with more apps to reach quicker with my thumb, and above an agenda and todo widget, with on top time and weather.
And in the upper left a moon phase widget, to know when there will be full moon with all the water in our body getting all over the place making most of us feeling funny
here is a screenshot:

what would you prefer on your home screen, and left and right screen(s)?
Nova Prime...ftw
Lawnchair v2 CI on PIE (rooted). A lot better than OP.
OP launcher is awesome: fast and clean but with some useful features added. I just get nervous about the fact that I can't hide the app names
I am a big fan of Nova Launcher Prime and have always installed this launcher as my first app on my new phone. Since I updated to Pie, no matter what scrolling/App animation I select in Nova, it's not smooth. What I mean is switching/closing the apps are "jittery" and/or bouncy. I have tried switching to different animation speeds in Developer option. The only setting that gives me acceptable animation is at 1.5X which I have never have to use to tame the animation. I tried even switching the animations off but no go. Anybody else feeling that switching from one app to another is not smooth. For example, if I open chrome browser and switch to Gmail-the first screen (with chrome) sort of bounce before Gmail opens. I have tried switching to stock animation in Nova as well but no effect on smoothness. I do use gestures only for navigation. and not navigation buttons.

I've always used Nova in the past on every phone I had, but since I've changed to OnePlus in May, I have to say I haven't missed Nova for a second. OnePlus Launcher is very smooth and everything I need.
Nova Launcher Prime. Can replicate same config between different phones.
NOva since ever....
Must be the first thing i do after buy or flash a phone...

Hey guys, I was trying to use my good old pal Nova launcher on my Poco f2 pro (stock, not rooted) and ran into some problems. In order to enable "double tap to sleep" function, I need to enable accessibility service for Nova launcher. It works perfectly, until I clear my recent apps. Then it asks me to enable accessibility service again, but it's already enabled in settings. I tried enabling/disabling the service and it does not make any difference. When I reboot my phone, the service is off and I can enable it and use the double tap, again, until I clear my recent apps... I removed any kind of optimisation for Nova and I'm out of ideas? Any suggestions how to make it work?
Same issue with mine.
did you try to lock nova launcher in recent app list?
did you remove nova launcher from battery optimization?
did you add nova launcher to autostart list?

Hey, thanks for suggestion, I haven't thought about autostart! it's been around 24 hours and it's still working, so I assume the issue is fixed! Thanks man!:good:
Did you manage to fix it? I just got a Note 9 Pro, same issue.
Hi everyone, same issue here with Edge Gestures and MIUI 12.0.2 :-(
Same (or similar) issue with Stock Android 11 and Nova Launcher and Smart Launcher.
Cannot access 'recent apps'
on poco f 2 pro with miui12 /A11...
...the problem of missing taskmanager was fixed after installing last poco app update v 19!
...nova gesture problem is solved after installing app "fluid navigation gesture pro"!
...nova launcher can now be selected as the system launcher without getting more problems if last poco app was installed too.
