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

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.

Is there any secret to making this work better to wake up the phone. I cannot seem to hit it right to get it to unlock. Sensitivity adjust?
I like the phone otherwise.
Tap the screen quickly and firmly in the same spot two times. I have no problems with it using that method.
Train wreck for me. Double tap is horrible! I started a return through Amazon, wondering if I should try a replacement first though. I have huge lag issues too on this phone.
I am having the problem with tap to open too. There are many reviews on Amazon detailing the same thing. I sent an email to Alcatel support asking if they would be addressing this issue. I am still deciding if I want to keep the phone.
Last couple of days I have had more instances of misses with this than I had the first couple of days. But still I feel I have had better luck with the double-tap.... than many others over here so far. Usually a firm tap, with your fingers bent and the fingernails almost hitting the glass, works pretty well. But at times, even a firm tap will not work, and I have noticed that un-setting the option ( in Settings -> Gestures ) and then setting it back again gets it going again. This and the lag with loading apps may be related , and I hope Alcatel release a 5.1 update soon.
I've only had an issue with this once and a reboot fixed it. I think in some cases people are not hitting the screen firmly and quickly. Also the may not be hitting the same spot as well. I have seen other phones that use the knock unlock gesture but with a knock code and maybe some people thought they could hit the screen where ever they wanted between the 2 knocks. I'm just guessing here.

I believe I have found the root cause of the problem. Right after I got the phone I installed Nova Launcher. I started playing around and tried switching back to the stock launcher. Immediately the double tap feature started to work consistently. Hopefully it will STAY working and Nova will update their launcher to support the double tap feature fully.

I doubt if the launcher is the issue. When the screen is off the launcher is not in control of the phone, the OS is in control. Also, I use Nova Prime and have only had 1 problem with Double Tap To Wake in the past 8 days.

I partly agree with your statement. As I understand Nova Prime includes support for double tap. The free app does not. Using the free app I can double tap to wake the phone, but not to sleep. Using the stock launcher, both functions work perfectly. I tried installing the Google Now launcher and it was the same as the free Nova launcher. No double tap to sleep.
I am new to Xda (or forums in general), but I had tons of issues with the double tap to wake feature not working. This was a shame because everything else I loved about this phone (only other thing I would change is a slight processor boost; a Snappy 801 would be perfect). Anyways, I finally got around the issue by performing these steps:
1-In Settings, navigate to Gestures and make sure 'Turn over to mute' is unchecked and 'Turn over to activate' is disabled.
2-Don't know if this is mandatory, but I also disabled the Func shortcuts in the Lock Screen Settings as well.
3-Reboot the device and don't touch these settings again
For some reason, I think Alcatel's software was not appropriately tested with all of these functions enabled. I am not sure, I just know I am having much higher hit rates (works almost every time) after performing the above steps.
Hope it works for you guys.
Lastly, if the double tap starts having issues again, just run a reboot and it should fix it (I just had to reboot after 30+ hours of standby).

Nova has it's own double tap gesture. If you want it to turn off the screen then you will have to have it call a program like "screen off" to accomplish that. DT to wake is still handled by the lockscreen.
believe me i been looking for a way to make this double tap in look screen to work better, by accident i find out that tapping very lightly wake the phone all the time.
Double-tap not working for me. Running all stock, stock launcher.
Same here I can't get the double tap to work for anything, I tried turning off the features and func but nothing, my phone has its days where it works fine and other days where it just doesn't.
Sent from my 6045I using XDA Free mobile app
My original suggestion to fix the double tap was to reboot, but I found a much quicker way. Go under gestures and turn it off and on again. Seems to work every time it gets wonky.
i notice that D2W work almost perfect while the phone on charger ...so it may be power saving mode that make the digitizer off after several minutes???!!!
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.

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.

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 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?

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.

I am so used to my OnePlus 9's AOD that I'm kind of surprised how terribly it seems to be implemented here and I'm hoping it's just being buggy...
First off, the AOD doesn't seem to work at all if I don't choose to have it displayed all the time (which is the first hint that this may be a bug as even the preview for tap or lift seems to suggest that the AOD should be popping up, not the lock screen as is happening right now).
Second, if I do have it displayed all the time, incoming notifications bring up the lock screen. My OnePlus shows a preview of that one specific notification while still on the AOD screen and it seems silly that Google isn't utilizing something similar. It is extremely handy to have a text come in, say with a 2FA code, and have the entire screen black besides a large preview that shows you that code. The way that it is working now, it wakes the lock screen, which is fine, except the message gets truncated so it often requires me to interact with the device even further to be able to see the full message.
I also tried turning off wake the screen for notifications to see if that triggers the AOD and... it just adds an icon to the AOD...
This is a huge downgrade in user experience if this is the normal expected behavior. I could have sworn my 3 XL handled it better than this but I haven't used it for awhile and I'm not at home where I could check it. Maybe I'll have to look into third party options.
Im not quite sure and your whole post. I as well had the Oneplus 9 pro. My Pixel 7 pro AOD works just fine. I double tap screen and goes directly to the AOD, which displays the Date(top left corner), the time that is big, the fingerprint icon and battery percentage. a tap of the screen brings up the lock screen. Face unlock and pin works directly to the home screen. Now I do have to say im using Nova Launcher as i can't stand that the dat and google search bar can't be removed.

Thanks. Sounds like I have a bug after all right now.
When you get a text or something, does it show an AOD notification with a preview like the OnePlus did or does it just show the lock screen?
I turned off screen on with new notification, I will have to check
Without screen on with new notification, I still get the notification and AOD stays on. Lock screen does not come on. So in other words, AOD works as it should.

The AOD on my Pixel 4a works just like you describe the OnePlus AOD, it stays on the AOD but displays the message at the center for a few seconds, sounds like a bug (unless this changed on the 7 and 7 pro for some reason).
Interesting. Thanks to both of you. Hopefully it gets resolved at some point. I'm in no mood to factory reset and set everything up again so I'll just deal with it for now.

Do you have the wake screen setting toggled? It's possible that's why

I have tried messing with all four settings in all sorts of configurations to see if I can get it to work properly and have been totally unsuccessful. It seems I have just stumbled on some kind of bug.

Hey, I do have the same bug. Did you manage to fix it ?
I am rooted + I use Kirisakura kernel
I don't think this would be the cause but we never know ...

It was resolved after I did a factory reset and restored only SMS and apps (but not settings) from my Google backup.

Thx ! Damn it ...
I didn't restore anything ... I'll try before resetting (it's been only 2 days I have it ready XD)

Im not quite sure and your whole post. I as well had the Oneplus 9 pro. My Pixel 7 pro AOD works just fine. I double tap screen and goes directly to the AOD, which displays the Date(top left corner), the time that is big, the fingerprint icon and battery percentage. a tap of the screen brings up the lock screen. Face unlock and pin works directly to the home screen. Now I do have to say im using Nova Launcher as i can't stand that the dat and google search bar can't be removed.

Don't know if I understand you correctly. Do you have enabled AOD all the time (always show time and info)? If not, you double tap to show AOD and it's working fine? Do you have any other settings enabled (tap to check phone, etc)?
I have disabled AOD (always show time and info) and when I tap, it goes straight to lockscreen. Not sure but that change may have been introduced in one of the latest updates.
@EtherealRemnant same question to you
In my case as it works right now:
When I enable AOD (always show time and info), it is showing all the time. When I disable that, it's not. When I tap on the screen (when AOD is disabled), it goes straight into lockscreen. When I receive a notification, AOD shows for a short moment.
What I would like to achieve (dunno if that's possible) would be to have tap to show AOD instead of lockscreen (with AOD not showing all the time).
I understand what you would like to do( tap the screen to have AOD appear first. I cannot find anything like( temp AOD) in settings. The show time and info toggle is basically the master AOD switch. Either AOD all the time or disabled completely, nothing in between.
Same for me, after reading topics on reddit, I was thinking I wasn't a bug and I might misunderstood what op was saying.
@trawel to add to your statement, if you move slightly your phone, like lifting one side, the AOD should come, most of the time (sometimes screen stays black)
But yeah I also would like to be able to "tap to show AOD" so it won't unnecessarily unlock when it sees my face.
AOD = Always On Display...it's in the name...ALWAYS ON. I understand what you're looking for but then it would NOT be called AOD, but SOD = sometimes on display.

We get the semantics but the point is that the AOD used to function differently. You used to be able to tap to get the AOD to come on and lifting the device used to always go to AOD FIRST. When I made this thread, I was not seeing the AOD at all most of the time. A factory reset has set it to such that if the phone gets barely moved, the AOD comes up, but tapping or picking it up quickly will almost always go to the lock screen (but then sometimes it will go to the AOD too when picking it up quickly) so it's clearly bugged somehow as the behavior is inconsistent, whichever way that Google intended for it to actually be.
Going beyond that, the AOD is pretty useless anyway. Any incoming notifications light up the lock screen. Why can't they just make it like my OnePlus where the notification shows up on a black screen with a full preview when AOD is enabled? This is so much more useful, not to mention battery friendly.
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.

spot-on thanks!
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.
