Question Recents button not working

Question Recents button not working - Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro

Hello, I uninstalled POCO launcher through ADB, now my recent button isn't working. Reinstalling it fixed the issue
earlier, but is there a workaround to fix this? Without installing the launcher? Currently using Nova launcher.
The default POCO launcher freezes(6-7secs) with no icons but wallpaper when returning from other apps(not always but it's irritating). So I want to kick this rusty nut out completely.

Did you try to deactivate the poco launcher insteat of uninstalling?

How to deactivate? You mean? Disable?

Thought it should be: Settings=> Apps=> "Poco Launcher" => deactivate, i'm running AICP, so i can not tell you the exact way, but with AICP you can deactivate (because the launcher is a System App, System Apps are diffcult to uninstall, only with root ) AICP Launcher, and this should be able with stock, too

You might want to update your Google app to the latest & make sure the Google Now Launcher standalone app is properly installed.

May have to do with Google syncing data. You could try removing your account from the phone and then trying the above mentioned things again.

Thank you very much to all, I finally discovered what was happening: google now launcher was NOT installed on the device... it didnt come installed by default and i did not realized. I'm an idiot!
Thank you all and sory for the time loss

[solution] How to solve the buggy gesture on 9.0.2 or OB6

I guys, due to the impossibility to use gesture and keyboard normally both in 9.0.2 and ob6, i find a solution to solve this problem.
Which is the problem:
in OOS 9.0.2 or open beta 6, the new gesture system has some problems that really affect the user experience. The gesture system is managed by the stock launcher (oneplus launcher), and if you don't use this laucher but onother one (nova for example) you encounter a lot of problems such as:
-if you lock and unlock your phone, after unlock the app that you are using is in background and you are brought to home screen.
-if you try to write in some applications (telegram and whatsapp first), after some time and after an unlock of the screen, after some taping on the screen the keybord will close and appear a buggy interface of the recents page.
Requirements:
-root privileges
-An app that can unistall the system apps, and change theyr propriety (for example titanium backup Pro)
As always, i'm not responsable for any damage on your phone or data loss, take a nandroid backup first.
1) Switch from the system settings from gesture to navbar
2) Unistall as system app oneplus launcher. Is important that you unistal and not freeze; to do this you need root privileges
3) Reboot
4) download a version of oneplus launcher without the buggy interface. for example this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl...auncher-2-3-0-2-180928222207-6ee6566-release/
5) install it
6) with a root application convert oneplus launcher from user app to system app.
7) reboot
8) switch back from navbar to gesture
Now you have the old gesture system and no bug. :good:
EDIT of 9th November 2018:
Oneplus finally solves the bugs.
To solve the problems you just need to update (manually or from play store) the original launcher (OnePlus Launcher) to the latest version.

is it required to reinstall the OnePlus Launcher? Can't we just delete the buggy one and leave it like that?

What works for me is removing the stock OP launcher then the home and recents gestures don't work. Install OnePlus Launcher from the Play Store then reboot. After rebooting uninstall the OnePlus Launcher that you just installed from the Play Store. Then reboot again and the gestures will start working like they should. I did this on OB6 and 9.0.2 Stable pie and can confirm it works for me. I use Nova Launcher.

Ok thanks
Thanks for the solution

I tried deleting the OP launcher using titanium backup but it doesn't work. Also tried to delete the folder from /priv-app/ using TWRP but it came out with an error. Is there anyway I can uninstall the launcher?
My phone is rooted here.

You may want to try Uninstaller app from play store if you are rooted.

Already tried this and when i reboot to uninstall magisk the original version of OnePlus Launcher is back... Anyone with the same problem...?

By using lower version launcher, do we loose something? Personally im kot using stock launcher, using nova. But if the bug related to the launcher if we wull change it I think something will be missing. Gestures are working? New animations?

If you read the first post you will find I'll the answers to your questions.

You don't need root for any of this. Install an old version of OnePlus launcher over current version and you get old gesture animations back and old recents.

Except it doesn't. You can't install older version on top of the newer version. You can't disable it hoping to uninstall the updates because the new version comes with the OS update itself, not via play store.

It didn't uninstall it the first time but reboot go to this uninstaller app again and uninstall again for me it took twice, restart but if you install the playstore one that's orio and will give you orio style recents , I installed the launcher from the apk mirror link in op, hope this helps, and every time you install or uninstall do a reboot, cheers

So mate, nothing is written ir your first post about what I've asked.
I tried this method. It helps those bugs are gone. But.... Older version of launcher removes new gestures swipe right for previous app, and design of recent tabs a bit changed in the latest launcher tabs were bigger. But its not a big deal, when annoying bugs are gone. Thanks

This worked for me. **** yehhh!
Thanks!

[Root] EMUI 9 QuickStep Recents Screen mod (Lawnchair v2/OnePlus Launcher)

Hi everyone,
After installing EMUI 9 (.241) on my P20 Pro & switching to Lawnchair V2, I was happy with pretty much everything except EMUI's default app switcher (Recents Screen). It's bug ridden & lags way too much for usability. That was when I decided to try QuickSwitch Magisk module from @Skittles9823 & @paphonb . Unfortunately, it didn't work for EMUI 9 & I decided to dig further into it.
Background Info:
In Android Pie, "recents screen" feature is handled by the launcher & is no more part of the OS itself. Android OS triggers recents screen by starting an intent "android.intent.action.QUICKSTEP_SERVICE" which is bound to the default launcher. What this means is that only the application specified in the intent can receive it. Now, in case of most OEM roms, this value is defined inside an XML resource in "/system/framework/framework-res.apk" (the file name can be different for different roms) file. QuickSwitch Magisk module apparently replaces this value using "Runtime Resource Overlay" technique to setup any launcher of your choice as the default handler for recents screen or QUICKSTEP as it's called.
Huawei, you bad boy
In EMUI 9, instead of defining this value inside some xml resource, Huawei decided to create a jar file instead named "hwServices.jar" & hardcoded EMUI launcher's package name in a "String" variable to be used for triggering the QUICKSTEP intent. This effectively kills the approach taken by QuickSwitch magisk module & us Huawei device owners are left with no other option but EMUI 9's bad implementation.
The way around
There are couple of options in this case:
Patch "hwServices.jar" file to point so some 3rd party launcher
Remove default EMUI launcher, create an application with the same package name to relay QUICKSTEP intent between system & third party launchers
Remove default EMUI launcher & replace it with a third party launcher that's modified to have EMUI's default launcher's package name
After spending the entire weekend trying Option 2 with limited success, I decided to go for Option 3 as modifying "hwServices.jar" itself seemed like too much meddling with the system's functioning. And so I removed default EMUI launcher from my system, took the latest Lawnchair v2's alpha build, patched it to have EMUI's default launcher's package name & installed it instead with system permissions. This works like a charm!
Instructions
You need a rooted device with Magisk installed
Install (QuickSwitch Magisk module v1.1.2)
Delete "/system/app/HwLauncher6" folder's contents using some file-manager like ES explorer with root permissions ( Create a backup if you want, it can be restored by copying the files back in the same folder if needed)
Reboot phone
Install patched Lawnchair V2's apk attached to this post on your phone.
Using QuickSwitch app installed on your phone, select Lawnchair V2 as the default home app & QuickStep provider. (We are using QuickSwitch only to give our patched Lawnchair v2 app system privileges. If you have any other way of doing this, feel free to do so & you can ignore installing QuickSwitch & it's steps above entirely)
Reboot & everything should be setup correctly.
Note
The patched version of Lawnchair v2 attached here is based on the latest alpha build at the time of this post& although everything seems to be working just great, there might be few bugs here & there. I'll update the attachment as & when more stable versions are released.
Credits
Special thanks to both @Skittles9823 & @paphonb for interacting with me while I was trying to find a way to get this working on EMUI. Much appreciated!
Update 1
The patched version of Lawnchair attached isn't entirely perfect, I'll wait for it's source code to be released to refactor everything properly. Until then, you can use this to replace your existing recents screen & even use a different launcher along with it, as long as attached Lawnchair V2 is a system app.
Update 2
Have also added OnePlus's Launcher ported by Paphonb with patch for EMUI 9. You can use this one instead of Lawnchair V2 too, if you like. Kindly note that these might be unstable due to my patches.
Update 3
Have updated the attached Lawnchair v2 apk with patch v1.1 (Fixes crashes)
Latest build download for Lawnchair V2
You should find fairly recent builds of Lawnchair V2 patched for EMUI here: (To be updated soon!)

Hi. Thank you for the tutorial. The problem is that when I try to install the lawnchair apk I get "app not installed" error.
My bad. I had to remove huawei launcher first.
It works perfectly. Thanks so much.

With this method definitely not. Maybe in the future huawei will do a better implementation for this, but not today.

With lawnchair, the apps and folders have different fonts. The folder font is my system default. Why is this?

Easiest way: In Android Manifest file, replace package name to "com.huawei.android.launcher". This works so far for Lawnchair V2 & ported OP Launcher.
Proper way: Download source, refactor code with new package name & compile. This is tedious and am not sure how reliably can be automated.

Should work with any Launcher that provides QuickStep functionality as long as it works without crashing before it's package is renamed.

There is no tool that'll do it automatically for you. I use apktool to dismantle the apk, change values & repackage it. You'll also have to sign the package using "jarsigner" which comes along with JDK.

Recent Apps feature does not function on Poco X3 Suyra V12.0.8.0.RJGEUXM

I finally decided to 'upgrade' my Poco X3 Suyra (EEA I think, even though it says 'global' in the settings) to MIUI-V12.0.8.0.RJGEUXM from V4
The upgrade went smoothly. However, now the recent apps feature when pressing the menu button does not function. When I press the button nothing happens at all. I went to 'button shortcuts' in the settings and double checked the the menu button was set to open recent apps. I switched the menu button to the other option, to open the menu on keypress. That functions just fine. I set the menu button back to open recent apps and again, nothing happens on keypress.
I'm at a loss here.
I debloated the system and removed a lot of the MIUI, Google, and misc software that came preloaded. I also went through and restricted permissions for the remaining system apps that I have no use for, but could not remove or disable.
I am unrooted and on stock ROM. Bootloader is not unlocked as I put my phone in airplane mode frequently. Also Mi Account shows my sim card as not inserted no matter what I do.
I've also noticed that my battery life is absolutely terrible now... Is it possible to roll back this update? I'm guessing no..
Thank you in advance for your help!

Does anyone know the package that handles recent apps?

To use menu button again just install Poco launcher and don't uninstall it. I assume you are using some other launcher now and in debloat process you remove poco launcher. In Android 11 launcher which come with rom must be here.

Yes Poco Launcher was removed.
I used ADB App Control to run this command on firmware V4
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher
I then attempted to use
Code:
pm install --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher
to reinstall Poco Launcher.
Unfortunately this did not work.
Do you happen to know the package name on the newest firmware?
Or can I just goto the Play Store and grab the Poco Launcher from there? It wouldn't be a system app, so Idk if that would fix the recent apps issue? I notice the package name is the same as listed above.

For those that also run into the same issue. I found the launcher listed in ADB App Control under the "deleted" section of the applications window. From there I was able to restore the Poco Launcher and the recent apps are back

General ZUI 12/13 Notification Fix (ROOT)

For those who have problems with notifications using ZUI here is a possible solution that I found in one of the XDA forums.
Need: Root (Magisk)
(I think there is no way to revive notifications if they are not root)
you'll need magisk then flash this 2 modules;
1)quickswitch
2)shady launcher
(Both available here)
1)flash those 2 & reboot.
2)open quickswitch app & choose shady launcher then reboot.
3)go to setting>apps>default app>home app>shady launcher.
4)open security>autostart>enable for *your apps*
5)security>acceleration>setting>protection list>add *your apps*
side notes : setting>notification>notification management>*your apps*>allow
this fixes should/might be working for other device running ZUI CN too.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With that all (I think) notifications will work
But since not everything can be good, it has its bugs.
Bugs:
(Only using third party launchers like Nova Launcher, Smart Launcher, Microsoft Launcher, etc))
1.- Screenshot option not working
2.- Delete backround not working
3.- Tap to back to apps not working
Solution= Use Shady Launcher xd
Edit: Probably some are saying: "This works with any installable launcher as a system"
And correct, if it works with any launcher systemless xd
If you don't like Shady Launcher because of how dated it looks then I'll also give you Lawnchair Systemless (With this, unlike the previous one, if third-party launchers work)
Edit 2: Quickswitch is not necessary, you can skip it if you want.
Edit 3: Excuse my english, I use google translate xd
Edit 3: If for some reason it doesn't let you choose a default launcher when you go to startup, then go to the following address:
Settings > Apps Management > Defaults Apps > Home app > Select launcher systemless

This would be all, I hope it works for you and again, sorry for the lousy writing.
