Having a strange issue with ADW.Launcher. From time to time, I will get a white dialog box in the upper right hand corner, almost like it is announcing a notification of some sort, but it's just an empty write box. I think it's triggered by me moving an icon around, but letting it "slip" and not moving it enough, but I'm not really sure. In any case, once that one dialog box appears, nothing short of a reboot will get rid of it. Moreover, I notice that the tablet will freeze up for a few moments at a time as well.
This is on a stock tablet with the Enhancement Pack. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm having it too with stock+enh pack 2. It looked as you said like a dialog box, so I tried to press anything that would usually make one - turning the wifi off seems to fix it. Don't ask me why. For now I think I'll switch back to LauncherPro until this is worked out.
This happened to me as well. I currently have adw.launcher EX 1.2.2 running on Tntlite 5.0.0
There is a launcher action called "open notifications" that is the default action associated with one of the launcher gestures -- either up swipe or down swipe (sorry, i don't have the gtab in front of me at the moment). I just made sure i changed that configuration to use a different action.
I have found that when the empty open notification window is there, weird things happen. Setup seems to not work consistently for example.
Also, I swear that I have seen this issue on previous versions of ROMs and not just tntlite 5.0.0.
I don't have a reasonable fix for this other than "don't open notifications". I did try the latest ADW Notifier but that didn't work.

I've seen this too. That's a great explanation of what it is.
Turning off that gesture makes perfect sense.
Hi there, anyon knows how to get rid of that message? it's frankly driving me nuts...
Thx
Its in the settings.
I dont have my phone yet(will by tonight) but from the reviews i say there was a setting to add the normal app drawer icon and disable the swipe.

Yes there is. You can either have no drawer or a drawer icon. I'll let you discover how in settings.
Go to settings then display and turn on easy stand
Easy stand? Haven't seen that yet...
I think I didn't explain myself correctly, I want to get rid of the Text message that scrolls from time to time and keep the swipe...
same issue

I remember that it's some built in "help and tips " app but I don't remember what it's exactly called. In it you can disable all these annoying hints.

after my first reboot and a night on the charger it is gone. maybe a number of uses gets rid of it.

Hello, I have figured this out after searching and coming up empty. It was annoying me too.
Press and hold on the home screen like you're going to add a widget. Click 'home screen settings'. Click apps button and choose 'show apps button'
The swipe motion will still work to open the apps.
Take care

Use the Samsung members app. Log in and use the device management in there to clean ram and storage. It stopped for me after using that.
Just enable and apply the Apps Button, then disable and apply the Apps Button and it will go away.
use nova launcher,done,never appears.
Just got a new replacement device after a cracked screen and the "swipe up Or down on screen for all apps" won't go away on home screen. Never an issue on my old device. Does anyone have any new details on this besides a work around?
I will go away in a week or so. Mine was driving me nuts and it went away without me doing anything.
Just scroll up or down through the app/home screen 20-30 times in a row and it will go away. It was driving me nuts and I found this discussion. Saw it was going away after a certain amount of time so I scrolled through it a ton and it was gone. Lol.
Reboot
I went through the swiping up and swiping down and it still showed the message after. But then I shut down the phone and powered it on and it was gone. Just like another user mentioned.
Hi guys, I recently updated to 10. Stock rooted, TWRP. 70 and Magisk 19.4, no more no less.
I don't use stock launcher (deleted). Used Apex Launcher every since my first OP3T. On Android 9 I could open an app, double tapped the backbutton twice (set that commando as "Split Screen") go back to home screen, open a second app and ... Boom ... 2 apps on screen.
When I do this in Android 10 (set back button double tap to Split Screen, it does show two horizontal stripes, but literally EVERY app I open gives feedback: "This app doesn't suppory split screen" (although they did in Android 9).
Anyone to help please?

Did you trie this?
This option comes from pie. Do you have it on Android 10th?
In developer options select Force activities to be resizable
Hi guys! I did not have this option turned on, did it right away. Now things got even stranger:
- in portrait mode it still does not work
- in landscape it DOES work. And if I place 2 apps next to each other in landscape and turn back to portrait, they stay
But since I use this feature mainly in my car (in a non-turnable phone holder) - it wouldn't be wise to keep doing it with this crazy workaround.
So did your tips help: definitely. Did they solve it? No. Very funny but nothing to laugh about.

Ohh boy...
Im still postponing with Android 10 update.
I like Android 10 futures however split screen I use a lot. I use even kodi in split screen.
That's not good that you can't do it.
Maybe it's just a hick-up on my device. Let's wait what others have to say. I made a Nandroid, thinking I could go back, but I believe it doesn't work that way. Since a clean install is not an option, I stuck in 10.

Btw.. I use tiles app to make split screen easier to pop up. It is very handy.
I attached pic of in kodi in split screen using tilrs app. There is no way I could do it without it.

I tried Tiles (purchased that years ago) and unfortunately have to confirm that it is still the same. I CAN choose a second app but ONLY in landscape modus. Ridiculous.
Can any one else confirm how this is on their Android 10?
just tested it on the Android Q CB and split screen is working fine for me without having enabled the resize stuff in the devopts

Does all apps work for you in split windows?
I have the exact same problem, the splitscreen option does not seem to work whenever I used one of the buttons (long press or double tap) set to open/close splitscreen.
splitscreen does work in the recent apps window, opening it by the 3 dot menu... but this takes me a lot longer.
I'm rooted and have mods installed, so they could be part of the problem too.
Anyone else seeing this? Every once in awhile, I'll press the "home" button on the navbar.
And instead of showing me my home screen with icons & such, it only shows my background.
I have to press the home button a second time before my icons and folders show up.

Plenty of people have this issue, some launchers don't work properly, I'm getting others issues as well like folders showing up in recents.
There's no real fix at the moment, you either change launcher or keep the issues.
Darn. Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not just me.
I haven't had any issues with Nova Launcher. I'm using the Prime version. Perhaps that makes a difference?
Have you changed the settings within the config utility?
Yep, I've had Prime Nova for many years.
I change a TON of settings in the Nova settings.
It doesn't happen often enough to make troubleshooting easy.
I guess I could try resetting it back to factory defaults for a week or so.

You mention that you're rooted and have mods installed...I would definitely look there first. I say this because I use Nova Prime on my 7 Pro and have zero issues. In fact I have been using Nova Prime on all my phones for years without any problems. YMMV
Every single third party launcher and device has this issue (and more) ever since Android 10 came out and tied Recents and Launchers together, it's worse with gesutres but can happen with navbar too.
Those who claim to not have it either ignore it, don't use their device fast or don't mind lag
Lawnchair alpha 4, no issues
Not rooted, qp beta, nova prime, no issues like that on mine.
..certainly no one can have accessibility function for gestures in nova launcher, this is due to google - android 13 security,
double tap would be a bless, so i don't understand why google is providing double tap on the back of the phone, but only strange single tap (lock screen) on the front of the device.. ?
I ran into a similar issue with Android 12 & 13 - it's a little tricky to get the gestures for Nova to work on the lock screen and provided a couple of screen shots to make things easier for you.

To enable accessibility, go to 3 dot menu in app info and bypass the restriction there.

I followed this advice and Nova is still broken. Oh well. I guess I could try another Rom, but how do we launch the default launcher?
No problem with Nova 8.0.3 here. But i dont use navbar.
And accessibility is working as well. I use it for double tap to sleep.

I only have that occasional issue if I have a **** ton of memory hungry apps running. And I think it started with the January update
Using total launcher and something similar happens to me. When I use gestures to pull up recent apps, I'll just see my homescreen instead of the apps themselves. Very weird but the behavior still works in that I can press the screen and it goes to the last app, which is what I want majority of the time.
Nova gestures work for me via Accessibility - but only for a few hours. Then, I can't see a note in Accessibility menu for Nova non-malfunctioning. Turning the Allow toggle off and on resolves the problem, temporarily.
I'm using this nova launcher, and whenever I attempt to use split screen I receive the error "pixel launcher has crashed." Nova is set as my default launcher though. I'm on a p7p latest update.
Yeah, I'm on Nova 7 and split screen is working just fine for me.
It's working fine on my P7Pro as well...

Works fine as we speak
I really loved split screen when we had the three button navigation. You could double tap the recents button and then split your screen immediately. I wish Google would make it easier than it currently is. I really wish if you went into recents by swiping up to your right from the bottom and it was an option below like screenshot. This is one of the things that drives me nuts with Google and there horrible human factors
Here's the log.

I agree. I've wondered for a long time how Split Screen went from being so easy to no longer anything I think about anymore
I just went back to the pixel launcher to see if it would do split screen. It does. Whenever I go back to nova it crashes and split screen doesn't work. What are the motions/ gestures to get it to work on a13 on a p7p? I've read on some older threads where people had the same issue that they had to find a way to make it work with seemingly "secret" gestures.
You have to swipe from the bottom up to the right to access your recent apps. Press the app icon you are currently using in recents. A selection menu will pull down and you select split screen. The current app will move to the top of the screen and allow you to select another app to split screen with.
With split screen in the past, you would have a three-button navigation at the bottom. The button on the right was recents. If you double pressed the reasons button, the app you are currently on would go to the top of the screen and allow you to select another app to split screen. It was easy and one of the best functions of Android. When they move to gestures, they took the function away and now it takes three more touches to get to split screen.
At the same time, Android has not worked on this function and over time it has become bug laden mess. I find it crashes often.
Have you tried nova launcher 8 beta? Split screen works fine with that build. Also the prime if you have paid from it works too.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I updated to 8.0.3 last night and I still have the same issue. I think aosp mods through lsposed is causing me trouble. I'm asking for help in that tread. Others have similar setups to mine, so idk what's going on. Anyone here in a13 with nova launcher on a p70 and have split screen working?
I use nova on a13 but I'm fully stock and there is no issues. So it might be the some mod. Typically if searching for the culprit of a bug you would first disable all the mods and go from there testing one mod at a time. It's very hard to find a solution when you have a modded environment. Basically since on stock android with no mods it's not having issues most likely it's one of the mods you are using that is perhaps causing the issue.

Split screen breaks when you disable animations in developer options
Specifically you can't turn off Animator duration scale

Wow. You got it. This was it. I DESPISE animations though. They make the phone feel slow like an iphone. Disabling animations is always the very first thing I do with a new phone. So is this a nova launcher problem? If I go back to the pixel launcher with animations totally disabled there is no issue.
I typically use split screen at least once a week, and sometimes it's more or less. I've been using nova for almost a month it seems. Maybe I really hadn't tried split screen prior to making this post, but that seems odd. What I'm getting at here is that it seems even nova had to have functioning split screen while animations were totally disabled. I have all animations disabled except for the "animator scale." Now I have animations when swiping back from apps to go home. Popping a new app open still doesn't have an animation.
The lowest animation scale I have is . 5x. On past phones and older android versions I think there were even smaller options. Anyone know of a root or Xposed module to give me more options? If I can cut this down to .1x or even . 25x I will deal with it.
At . 5x animations and only using split screen 1x/week or I might just deal with not having split screen. I despise animations.
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/animations-set-scale-set-to-25.4365695/
Will those adb commands through my on-device terminal work? Can I use other scales like . 1 instead of just . 25x? Will this add animations for everything? Currently I only set the animator duration scale to . 5x. All the other animation options are still toggled off.
I also found a scaleR magisk module, but the last activity in the thread was in 2020, and I don't wanna message round with bootloops, wiping, and restoring my phone this weekend.
EDIT 2: I issued the command "settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.01" in terminal (had to use SU /root command) and the command itself works, but anything below the menu options of . 5x makes the nova launcher behave as if you have animations off, ie split screen doesn't work.
I also turn animations off first thing. I'll rather pass on the dual screen feature than turn animations on.

So the limitation is on the nova side? The feature still works on the pixel launcher with animations off. Any suggestions on overcoming this? So I just need to email the nova team or report it as a bug? I would consider it a a bug- flip a switch (animations) that has nothing to do with the functionality and that functionality then works? That's a bug. I wonder if a magisk module could do this or if through tasker the animations could be toggled on only when the split screen option was selected. Whenever split screen was exited another shell command ran through tasker would turn animations back off.
Guess a bug report is always good. For Tasker I think autoinput can do this

Collect a bug report through android system?
I have autoinput, but have never used it a single time. I was understanding that it actually had to do its tasks in the foreground. If I use it to toggle the animation scale does that mean I'm going gto see the settings app flash to the foreground, an automated button click on the animation scale toggle, and then have things revert back to where I was in trying to split screen something?
I don't know how Nova launcher devs can receive bug reports. They probably have some support link somewhere.
My idea was sending the command via Tasker as soon as you open the recents view which can be recognized with autoinput. And then you can come up with an idea for an exit task condition. Just play around with it.
