Morning All,
as described this is annoying for nova launcher users. So is there a button remapper that works with the note 20u? I can skip the gesture navigation for now if needed. or is there an actual solution for this?
TIA
Could you please elaborate? What do you mean "launcher won't stick? You cannot set Nova as default launcher or what? I'm using Nova Prime and it's working just fine, haven't noticed so far anything unusual. Even the new gestures works with it...

I'm with @Rapier on this one we don't have enough information to help you.
He probably didn't set Nova as the default launcher and it defaults back to One UI every time he restarts

It is set as def launch, when I swipe up it deselect the def launcher so it defaults to the one ui(samsung junk)
maybe more clarification is needed, goto recent screen then gesture the 'back" it will revert to one ui. Or with nav bar press home button and it will continually ask if you want to set as default launcher. Also when you goto default launcher nothing is selected. Hope this clears things up a bit.
That's strange. I have Nova Prime working perfectly since day 1, never faced the issues you're describing. Have you tried to reset to factory then install Nova first thing and try again?
Using Nova also and no problems here.

Check if you installed any new apps.
I faced this issue, when I installed cenlar (bank) app. Once I uninstalled it, it all good.
Did you ever find a writing result for this? I'd really love to know how to fix this issue.

I had this issue on the new update. What I did as a workaround is to first go to app settings and set One UI as default launcher. Then clear its cache. After that, I go to Nova Launcher and set it as the default launcher. As long as you don't restart or turn off your device, it will stick.

I prefer to use Nova launcher however there is one big problem that I am experiencing while using it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon version. The dock divider disappears at random. It happens far too frequently to just ignore. It happens on the play store version and on the beta as well. I would like to buy Prime, however will not do so until this is fixed. It will only return after I enter and exit certain apps or if I restart Nova Launcher. I have switched to Apex until someone can find an answer to this.
Stupid question, but did you accidentally uncheck the option to show it?
Look in dock settings. There is an option for it to be off, in addition to an option to have it fade.

I do not have it set to off. It comes and goes without changing any settings. For example, I go into the play store to update an app and when I back out to get back to the home screen the divider disappears. it does not happen all of the time which makes it harder to pin point where the bug is coming from. If I enter messenger and back out of messenger then the divider comes back. What does the fade option do? I thought it might be the beta version, however it happens on the official version as well.
It just fades away after a few seconds. Uncheck that and test.

That was not checked. I do not see anyone else reporting this issue and I have done a good amount of searching. I am starting to wonder if it is a setting or app in my individual phone that is causing the bug. It is too bad because i believe Nova to be a smoother experience than Apex.

I switched from Apex which I have used for a long time on previous devices to Nova in my G3 (I have the paid version of both apps) & I tried everything I could think of & could not duplicate your problem.
I prefer the dock divider to be hidden, but when I set it to show it works perfectly for me.

What are your desktop height and width settings? Interesting, maybe I will pick up the paid version and see if that helps and return it if I can reproduce the bug quickly.

Try going into facebook and looking at someone's photo that they had posted and then back out of facebook. That produces the bug for me.
I believe I found out what my issue was. I realized that this only occurred on one of my homescreens. This particular homescreen had many app shortcuts on it as it had two folders with 6 apps each on it along with the other apps taking up the rest of the space on the homscreen. I reduced the amount of items on the homescreen and upon the launcher reproducing the screen after entering an app, the divider no longer disappeared. I believe that there was just too much going on with this particular screen.
That's cool that you figured it out, I agree 100% that Nova is better than Apex for this phone.
I thought I had it, but it has returned. I know what the issue is as I can recreate it every time. I do not know of a fix yet. If infinite scroll is off and you scroll to the homescreen on the far left or right you get a blue animation basically telling you that you can scroll no more. I personally like this animation. If I do that, and then click on my messaging app in my dock and then exit the app, the divider disappears on my galaxy s3. It does not happen every time, but I would say that it happens more often than not. If you change the dock height to large, it does not happen. It only happens when the dock height is on it's default which is medium. Once again, this is using nova launcher prime and it occurs on the official and on the beta.
Hello everyone
Yesterday Nova Launcher 5.0 has arrived and comes with pixel like swipe to open drawer and dock backgrounds to draw under navbar.
When I apply to draw under navbar first it works then when I use the navbar it switches back to black background? I hope you understand what I am saying
Can Anyone who tried the new Nova Launcher help me please?
It only works on the home screen
I know that. it was black background at the home screen too. But I solved the problem you need to turn on the transparent notification bar. Now it looks as it should be
Thank you though
Anyone using Nova 5 on B320? Each time I set Nova as the default launcher and press the home button it reverts back to EMUI and I get the Smart Recovery message telling me my phone has recovered from a serious error caused by Nova. Anyone know of a fix?

Set Nova as your default launcher.
Black background or u got the stock launcher again ? if u got back to stock then set default if u got black background might be an issue with the app update .
Reverts back to the stock launcher. As for disabling Huawei Home it isn't listed under Apps so how to disable?

This is weird. I never had this problem with Nova.
Maybe something to do with the fact I'm running beta firmware. I've emailed the developer to see if they can can up with anything. Thanks all for your input.

not related to beta or any thing just try to reinstall i download the nova 5 and was awesome ! ...
Hi all, was there ever a solution to this? Using an honor 6x and experiencing same issue. I downloaded and set Nova launcher as default. Works for a while only to revert to home launcher after a warning message "smart recovery- device recovered from a serious failure...".
Previously i had disabled the home launcher and it rendered my device useless until I restored a backup through twrp...
Forces me to uninstall and reinstall Nova to be able to use it.
However this time around I hid Huawei home launcher in magisk and it seemed to last longer without the warning.
Hello friends,
So i am using nova launcher prime -latest version as default launcher.
I am facing issue in double tap to screen lock method in nova launcher. As i give permission in accessibility, it works but after few hours or a day, it resets the feature and i have to turn off/turn on the accessibility permission given to nova launcher.
Can anyone guide as to why is this happening and how to resolve this??
Thanks in advance buddies.

I have the same setup with no issue. Try to remove Nova as the default launcher and use Oxygen launcher that the phone came with. Press and hold an open spot from the main screen to pop up the screen settings. From there toggle off the double tap to lock screen. Re-set Nova as your default launcher again. In Nova setting reactivate the the double tap to lock screen

In settings/battery/app launch make sure Nova is not set to manage automatically and make sure it's set to stay running in the background.

I'm having the same problem with Greenify. The accessibility setting turns off. Funny thing is Nova works fine! And Nova's battery is optimized! I have de-optimized Greenify and, for good measure, I have locked it in the resent apps. Is there something peculiar to greenify here? The phone is unrooted.
If I buy a brand new S22 Ultra (12/256, Snapdragon) and install Nova Launcher as my default launcher, then go to phone settings and change navigation to gesture navigation, will it work decently or will the phone not work with gestures and force me to use the nav bar?

I have the same phone and gestures work great and have on many other phones. All the standard Android gestures work plus Nova allows many more gestures and taps that are completely customizable.

I'm using S21 Ultra with Nova 7.0.57. While the gestures work it is definitely laggy when it returns to home screen. There is a slight delay when you return to home screen from an app before you can launch another app or go to a different home page. Is there a fix for it?

I see 3 animation settings in Developer Options in phone settings - Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator Duration scale. I tried changing all three to 0.5x and I still see the lag. After I swipe up to get to home and immediately touch another app icon nothing happens. There is clearly a delay before I can do anything. Am I missing anything?

No you're not missing anything that I know of. Are you using the free version or prime version? I have the prime version.
Also, keep in mind, I have the S22 Ultra, so my results will be different because of a newer device with a newer faster processer.
Nova Launcher 8 is in beta, maybe you can snag that and see if that helps any.

This isn't a bug. Google changed the way Android handles gestures and the recents screen in Android 10 I believe. 3rd party launchers will have this delay on home and recents swipe. Neither the app developer, nor Samsung can do anything about it until Google decides to change it
Zero lag for me....been using it forever now on all my devices. Nova pime.

I would not say a lag but there's a delay if you use gestures with 3rd party launchers when swipe and hold for recents. It happens in my S22.

I wouldn't call it lag either, but gestures definitely work differently with 3rd party launchers now. This is a well known change that Google made.

It's technically not quite as fast as stock. My guess is that they don't notice it because they have been using it for so long. It's definitely real, you can Google the documentation on it. I deal with it on custom rims all the time

Are you sure you're on Nova prime? My Nova doesn't give me the option of having the stock single navigation bar . Also, the animation of swiping to go home and it goes to the app is not available on Prime.
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.

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.

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.
