Issue:
With Android 10 gestures enabled and using a third-party (non-LG) home screen launcher, swiping up to go Home causes a flicker showing the app being closed at the end of the close animation.
Environment:
LG V50 Sprint Unlocked (LM-V450PM)
Microsoft Launcher
Detail:
This is a rather minor issue, I know, but after upgrading to Android Q yesterday, I was excited to finally use native gestures as previously I was using a third-party app (Fluid NG). Most animations are very smooth.
When using the default LG Home Screen, the swipe up to Home animation is nice and fluid. For example, closing an app which is on the Home screen has the app screen collapse and spring into the icon.
However I prefer using a more productive launcher--the animation seems to glitch momentarily before going to Home. The app screen collapses into the background, but then briefly flickers and shows the full app screen before showing the home screen. This happens on all apps, including Settings and from the launcher settings itself.
Reverting back to standard buttons (or gesture + buttons) does not have this problem.
Things I have tried which didn't work:
Rebooting
Disabling and uninstalling Fluid NG
Using a different, non-LG launcher (Microsoft, Nova)
Disabling Developer mode (have .5x on all animations)
Disabling all animations (window, transition, animator duration) within Developer mode
Swiping slower or at an angle (animation changes but behavior persists)
Anything else I could try, or is this problem inherent to LG's UX?

Is anyone else having problems with wallpaper on Launcher Pro? Using the default launcher, the wallpaper scales down to the size I set. Launcher Pro keeps it HUGE and cannot be adjusted no matter what the resolution is.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem, it happens basically with any launcher that is non stock. theres apps that can fix the problem, but seems like a quirk that we're stuck with

So I was having the same problem and figured out what causes it, and a way to generally avoid it.
what seems to be causing it: Allowing home screen rotation. It appears that as soon as you rotate, Launcher pro resizes the wp to that pixelated mess, and will not revert it back once returning to portrait. I've had it happen also while going to the home screen while having the browser in landscape
to prevent: from home screen click menu / preferences / behavior settings / -> and make sure "enable auto rotation" is unchecked. (don't worry you can still rotate in apps by activating the rotation setting in the notification bar, unchecking that box just prevents the home screen rotation)
to fix your current messed up wallpaper: click menu / settings / applications / manage applications / -> click launcher pro / click clear defaults.
this will allow you to activate touchwiz again. So hit the home screen button and select TW to complete that action. after it's done try setting your wp again. Go ahead and reset launcher pro as your default now and your wp should still look good. You should now be able to crop new wp's and have them look fine too.
you shouldnt have to do this again
all set!
That did the trick. Thanks!
I tried that but it didn't work on my evo 3d
there is another work around
open the pic you want to use
rotate your phone to landscape mode
set your wallpaper using the landscape square, not the narrow one. Let it finish.
rotate your phone back to normal
your WP should now not be that pixelated mess
Hi,
Just got HTC One X today and immediately updated to JB. After installing my apps and setting it up, I noticed that certain widgets would disappear from my home screen (Nova Launcher) and from lock screen (WidgetLocker). Only certain widgets - Battery Widget Reborn, Power Toggles, Smooth Calendar. After a reboot, they show up as grey boxes and I would have to tap and setup the widget again. Also noticed that SwiftKey would no longer be set as default keyboard and I would have to disable/re-enable to be able to choose it again.
Messed around and it's the same behavior with the stock launcher but with that, they the widgets just disappear altogether.
I did a system erase and pretty much nothing installed, same behavior. I've played with every setting to see if that had an effect but no different.
Has anyone encountered this or have any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
I have the AT&T 32GB variant.
I noticed that sometimes (actually, somewhat frequently) the animation to open the app drawer is a little choppy and laggy. And then the actual app drawer (swiping left and right) also has slightly choppy animation as it moves from each page of apps.
This goes away if you press home, and then return back to the app drawer.
Is this just me?
Nova and say good bye to any notice of lag. If you want to stay with the stock launcher then turn on developer options and turn down the animations.
Sorry for my noob question. How could you turn on the developer options?

Settings -> About Device -> Then tap Build Number several times to enable Developer Options.

I'm seeing the same symptoms. Compared to my wifes Samsung A5 (4.4.4 tw) animation in and out of the app drawer (which is really smooth on the A5), the S6 is "stuttering" regardless what animation scale (currently) I set in Dev. options. Setting 2x makes other system launcher animations even more smooth than before, hence the app drawer in and out looks like a specific issue.
I have a brand new Nexus 5 (not refurb, not 5X) that runs beautifully under 4.4.4. It runs even better under 6.x.x, except for one serious problem. Upon unlocking the phone, maybe 4 in 10 times, the launcher is unresponsive.
- notification shade still works, I can pull down notifications, tap a notification to launch an app, etc...
- navbar buttons work fine
- power button menu works fine
- no launcher functions work. Icons don't respond to taps, can't swipe between pages, nothing works.
- problem has occurred with Google Now launcher, Nova Launcher, Arrow Launcher, and CM Launcher. Doesn't appear to be a launcher bug.
- hardware/screen problem seems unlikely as well since the notification shade and navbar buttons work
Any suggestions as to how to further troubleshoot this? I've search high and low and have found nothing indicating this to be a known problem.
I've been using gesture navigations on my old P30 Pro and enabled it for the S22 Ultra. I've noticed that when navigation is set to "swipe from sides and bottom", it introduces special animations when minimizing apps/going back to the homescreen, that is different from the animations when using "swipe from bottom" gestures or when using navigation bar buttons. With "swipe from sides and bottom" selected, whenever I do the home gesture which is slide up from the bottom of the screen, it plays the return home/minimize app animation and I notice that I have to wait for the animation to finish before I could perform my next swipe gesture. For Nova, Apex, Microsoft and several other launchers that I've tested, I notice that I need to wait for the animation to finish before I could do another gesture like opening the app drawer by swiping up. This apparently happens to all launchers except for the default One UI launcher - where even if the animation is not yet finished, I can swipe up and open the app drawer. This delay does not happen to any launcher when using swipe form bottom gestures or navigation bar buttons. Is there a way to fix this?
Also, is there a way to use edge panel in landscape? On my old Huawei, their version of the edge panel works in any orientation. Basically, I just need a way to open apps in a popup window in landscape where I can choose which app i could open instead of opening the app first, and then choosing to open it in a popup window using the recent apps/task manager button.
I was thinking the same from a couple days, but too lazy to start a thread
With third part launchers, sometimes when I return to home, if I try to open an app or make some gesture, the phone open an app himself, casually...
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who noticed this nuance. TS explained everything what I had in mind for a loooooong time.
Is there any way to make 3rd party launcher "act like the default" when it comes to animations?
Note: I'm using Motorola Edge 30 Ultra so it doesn't matter whether it's a Samsung phone or not. Animations and gestures behave differently in any 3rd party launcher.
