Hi guys,
So I installed Nova Launcher, my to go launcher.
However, what I noticed is that if I disable Samsung One UI through Package Disabler, Nova Launcher wont do anything when Recents button is pressed . Home and Back buttons are working fine though.
The only way of getting Recents button work is to re-enable Samsung One UI but in this case it works on the background and consumes battery.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? Thanks.
You will lose other things too, like notification badges, etc.
Not much you can do but leave one ui enabled.
You can disable background data, remove all widgets and such from one ui so there isn't background updates happening tho.

Same issue here... it's been bugging me for months now ... it's hard to use MFA apps as I can't switch to recent apps ..
is there any app I can install that will give me the ability to call recent apps some other way? This is my work phone .. if it was mine I would toss it in a blender and get a google phone these god forsaken carrier apps,work apps and phone providers apps make my blood boil!!!!
I almost miss the days of having two non working rooted phones....at least it was MY fault they were not working because I had control of what apps!!!

Just wanted to say.
I have been using Nova Prime launcher for many years.
Who knows how long 10...15 years maybe?
From my Note 2....3. 4. etc.. upwards!
Nova was and is, always my default launcher.
I have left Samsung launcher, to run in the background.
Never ever disabled it.
Never ever, have I found that Samsung launcher using excess /noticeably, battery .
or that it was an issue for me.
It's your choice, but why create problems for yourself.?
Good luck.
Also, try Nova gestures to bring up recent apps - see if it works using this way
Same issue, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel Launcher, Nova Prime, Android 12.
Nova's gestures don't call up the recent apps either
No way around it, even being rooted?

Hi all,
I've had a strange experience recently where at least once or twice a day whenever I close an app the phone defaults to stock launcher rather than Nova ( Nova is selected as default launcher)
I then have to manually go into settings and reselect Nova as default launcher.
Anyone having this issue or have any idea how to fix?
Thanks.
Me. mAny many many and many times. I give up of using nova launcher and I am using the horrible native launcher. Completely annoyed.
I am using nova for the past week. The only time I had this issue was when I tried to add a widget that is specific to the native launcher. I supposed you have added the launcher to ignore optimization?
I've got the same problem. Do you have the MHA-AL00? On the AL00 I definitely have this problem, but I don't remember having this problem on the L29. Yesterday, I set it for Nova to ignore battery optimizations, and it's been okay since then, though. Not sure how much that matters.
Edit: Literally ten seconds after typing this message, my phone went back to default launcher, so that's not how it's solved unfortunately.
There is a Nova setting called "Agressive Desktop". Enabling it seems to have fixed the issue.
A day later: Confirming that it works!!
===
This is Chinese model MHA-AL00
I've selected the aggressive desktop option...Will see what happens. I think this is specific to the Chinese ROM ( my handset is Chinese )
As an aside I dont see an option for a daydream clock in my ROM?
Smart Launcher here, no probs!
Didn't work for me. Still switches back despite enabling aggressive desktop.
There is one thing you can try, and that is to lock it in the recent apps list. Nova launcher settings won't show up if you are currently using the launcher. So set the default launcher to Huawei Home first. Then open Nova launcher and goto nova settings.
Press the home button, which should take you back to Huawei Home. Press recent apps. Nova settings should now show up in the recent apps. Press the little lock icon and lock it.
Not sure if it will work for you. So far it is okay for me.
Have tried the recent app lock mate... Thanks for the tip!
I just find all the Chinese android versions have super aggressive app kill properties, even after you go through all the optimisation and turning it off it still does it. The final jigsaw always seem to be locking the app into memory in the recent apps list. I had a xiaomi previously and that phone used to kill things even locked in recent apps -.-
Also was using the phone with Assistance & voice input setting changed to launcher 3 and trusted agent set to Smart Lock (Google). Today Smart Lock randomly popped up with my home address.
So right now I also have it auto unlocked while at home (not via bluetooth only). Now the problem is I cannot access the setting again
I agree. I did stop buying their phones for this reason but couldn't resist the mate 9
Hmmm... This was an issue that really bugged me, but it works now. Nova stays as default, and it's solid. Besides the Aggressive Desktop, I gave Nova all the possible permissions, so re-check that.
Tried aggressive desktop as well as locking in recent but nothing seems to work. Any other ideas?
Still no fix for this, can't use it it crash and returns to stock launcher already try agressive Mode and lock from the recent apps. I own the chinnese model

No problems with nova on the l29 usa one.. Open nova launcher then go back to home then Try opening ur recent apps and hitting the lock on nova launcher. Also make sure nova launcher is set to not close on phone lock.
No problems with nova. L29 western Europe model.
Must just be a Nova setting you need to check....
I have the AL00, and it works just fine. Did you install it from the play store? I have found some of the widgets from EMUI clashes with Nova, but if you stick to widgets from Google play, you should be fine.
Yes, do not use any of the widgets of EMUI. I have had no issues since doing that.
That's it. Stock weather widget was the problem.
Thanks everyone

I have the same problem. I give to nova all permission but The problem persists.
Also, if I use the emui the hot word ok Google does not work. someone help me
I have nova latest version running on AL00 without any issues even after restart nova continues as my default home also notification are working with no issues. I did give full permissions to all nova apps and full notification access.
The issue is Bluetooth bug. Toggle the Bluetooth connection with another device resets the default home. If you don't use bluetooth then you won't have that issue.

I've been using Bluetooth with my car, my fitbit and echo without any issues and still nova stays as default
if rooted, use titanium backup to freeze the "launcher" the stock one. hit the home button and set nova as the default.
Inscribed via LG v20 (iOS 11.1.0 Aplha)
Do you know if there is a fix for Bluetooth bug ?
I have the same model. You have to ensure nova has all the relevant permissions activated under settings. Storage, voice, etc etc. Nova works fine on my Mate 9. It initially kept crashing then I had a look at the settings and it's worked flawlessly since.
Hey All,
Running Android 7.1.1 on my Google Pixel with Nova Prime. I'm experiencing an issue where if I use the back button to escape an app, or if I swipe my messenger app away to close (signal 3.3, specifically), the Pixel launcher opens instead of Nova Prime. I'm always having to hit the home button to get back into Nova after closing apps. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes?
Thanks,
SC32a

I use Nova on my PureNexus NOF26W Pixel, but I didn't notice any problem with home returning, when I hit the button. The only issue I have seen is when I open recent apps menu, if I tap on "erase all" then my Pixel automatically go back to Pixel Launcher's home.
But this issue never happens again after first rebooting (after Nova installation).
Don't forget to set correct gestures in Nova's settings, and set Nova as defaut launcher on "Application informations"
Hey thanks for the reply. All I had to do was restart my phone and that fixed the problem! I tried everything else but didn't think to restart, all good now though.
Hey all, I'm hoping some of you experts can help chime in on something here. Periodically, Edge Lighting and the pill-box notifications on my S8+ will stop working. If I go and disable EL and then re-enable, then it works fine again....for a few days and then out of nowhere stops working again. I never had this issue for a few months when I had my phone until I started using Nova Launcher. I ran into another user on Reddit who also has this same issue using Nova Launcher. He also has the latest updates on his phone, and I do not have the update, and my phone is completely stock too. I emailed Nova Launcher support about this, and this was the reply they gave me: We don't have API access to that kind of stuff because Samsung doesn't allow it. Contact them and ask them to open up their software. So that's where I'm at. Anyone know anything about this?

I personally don't think it's Nova launcher.
I use Nova Prime and have the latest
software and updates. etc.
Edge lighting and the pillbox notification
is working fine. No issues.
If Nova was causing issues, I'm
sure (by now ) the dev of Nova
would known of the issue.
Did you disable any system apps?
If not and you cannot
trace/solve issue i would
rather then do a factory reset.

Hmm interesting, I have Nova Prime too. I have AdHell installed and only disabled Software Update (com.ws.dm) so I wouldn't get forced to update my phone and have the annoying icon.

Bottom line
Edge lighting and the notification should
work fine, with Nova.
However there could be other culprits apps that you either installed or uninstalled
that could have "broken/corrupted"
Edge lighting /system apps
I had this recently when my A O Display
stopped working.
I tried everything i could, to fix AOD.
Could not solve issue.
Did n factory reset and the Always On Display
working fine.
So it must have been a 3rd party app
of mine that i uninstalled ..? that broke
my AOD.
Good luck
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not Nova or AdHell. I use both and still edge lighting works for me...
If you disable packages using any of the apps do not disable these two or else Edge Lightning will not work:
-Samsung Push Service (under bloatware)
-Always On Display (under system)
Edge Lightning is dependant on these two to work. However that might not be your issue.

Yea both of those aren't disabled for me. I was talking to someone on Reddit and he says he had an update to Edge Screen and Nova Prime. Do you by any chance know what those versions are?

Nova and edge lighting works here.
Has anyone had any issues with blackscreen after unlocking with finger print, only status bar and nav bar are visible to get everything back I have to press the recents nav button, even the keyboard is black until I hit recents. Same issue on two different OnePluses 12gb and 8gb. Everything is fine when using OnePlus Launcher or not using finger print. I've tried trouble shooting this in many ways but can't seem to get rid of this bug, disabled all gestures and substratum. Seems to be a bug with Nova, but even if I unlock not to home screen the app that was open is visible but keyboard will not be. I've tried multiple keyboards and all experience the same issue.
It's a Nova thing, had the same issue with my previous phone LG V30. OP7 Pro is the only phone where I have not installed Nova and I like it so far. You should try ditching Nova for a couple of days and see if you like it.

Do you recommend any other launchers that can customize widgets, such as removing the padding & the ability to add Google Feed?
im on nova latest beta but never seen that issue
I'm using Nova Prime and have never had this issue.
Same here. Nova Prime Beta and never seen this yet and I've had it since the 21st. Stock, Stock Kernel, Rooted with TWRP.
No issues here on 9.5.6 GM21AA and Nova Launcher 6.1.8 Beta, I have mine installed as a magisk module I created though.
Uninstall through PlayStore and install this as a magisk module (recommend backing up in Nova Settings if you already set everything up)
here it is if you want to try it.

It's not a 'Nova thing'. This is happening ubiquitously across all launchers for people. it's a bug that's wrong with 9.5.6. And ambient display is causing it. Several threads have been created for this already.
disabling ambient display, and enabling double tap to wake in system settings will alleviate the issue entirely

Wow, ok I was unaware that was the issue, it did fix the problem but sucks that I'm going to lose the wake feature when picking up the phone.
