Hello,
I've come here to ask your help on an issue that occured with my recent app menu (in which I mean the menu to change apps when pressing the menu button)
I've always had the stock Samsung multitasking bar, which was black and only came up in a small bar, overlapping my current app partially.
But after trying to fix something that had to to with google play (some app dependencies and patches), I noticed that the multitasking screen had disappeared and instead, it was the normal app switch screen.
I've already tried factory reset with a titanium backup restore from when it worked, but now I'm out of suggestions and I miss the functionality of the bar.
Does anyone have advice or help.
The device is a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1, rooted, stock rom (using nova launcher)
thanks in advance,
Durneztj

So I noticed this unfortunate message one day....and it was hard to try and fix it. First, there was no home screen and menu buttons didn't work....and no one online Knew...well this is my short story how I fixed....the problem I made....
First, I was rooted and custom ROM.....but those weren't the problem....I had Titanium Backup and I had Frozen some Apps that I shouldnt have.....PLUS I had other Launchers
SO, when I turned my phone on, the wallpaper was the ONLY THING WORKING!!!! and everything else was not, despite the message....
What you must do is
1. slide down the notification bar
2. press QUICK SETTINGS
3. scroll to the bottom and press ALL SETTINGS
4. Scroll and press APPS
5. press the Home button and you should be sent home.....
5a. If that didnt load up the home screen, Repeat steps 1-4 (sorry)
5b. Click on ALL APPS and find your Default launcher and remove it from default.
5c Once you don't have a default launcher, press HOME...again....
6. go to your apps and open TITANIUM BACKUP
7. Find HTC WEATHER and DEFROST the Weather related apps that are frozen....
8 If the Message keeps coming up....Find more apps that you froze and defrost them.....keep a list of them because the one that stops the message is the app that must not be frozen, and you can use your list to re-freeze the apps again...
This was my story, yours might be a little different but I hope I helped you a little bit....
This doesnt belong here.
Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.
Have you done a factory reset after the system update??

Yep factory reset fixed it, thanks!
I have micromax canvas juice 4 q382. It has built 5.1 lollipop.
Quad Core, 1.3 GHz Spreadtrum SC7731G /1 GB RAM. Also I like to mention my device has been rooted.
After update from micromax the system was hanged. So I have done factory reset using Factory reset option.
But after factory reset the Lock screen appear, but when I tried to unlock then the “Home screen “open with no app launcher or app drawer, nothing is there only the wallpaper. And within a few second the “Home screen” also disappeared and screen get black and no light.
Then I press the power button which take me to the lock screen and from there I open settings (using small gear icon on top status bar). And from there open all apps and select any Launcher (like launcher3 or other installed launcher).
But I can install any app from play store and can update. Also new launcher when started working fine. But the problem is when I restart the pone the same Home screen appeared and no launcher invoked at startup.
I tried different launcher but same issue persists. I have reset the phone and rebooted many times, but the same problem appears. I tried to set different launcher at “Home” option in settings but nothing happened.
If there is any way to put any launcher at startup then this can be resolve, but I am not very much familiar to Android OS and its tricks.
Also the keyboard sometimes didn’t invoke.
Please tell me how to start Launcher (any) and Keyboard at startup (after restart) ?
Is there any APK available which can resolve this issue?
I am being tired by Factory reset, that has not served any solution.
Thanks in advance…..
So I noticed something I find odd, I installed Nova Launcher as my default launcher, and I like to disable unused/uneeded system apps so I froze the 'Moto App Launcher' with rooted method. However I noticed upon freezing it that I can not bring up the recents menu (the one where you can view and switch between apps, far right button in 3 button nav).
Defrosting Moto App Launcher immediately makes the recents menu work again (in any launcher). So I'm wondering if this is normal behavior for this phone (SOFIA - Android 10 stock - magisk rooted),
...and why does the Moto App Launcher seem to have this effect, how is it tied to the resents menu? I have not observed this type of behavior on other phones when disabling/replacing stock launchers.
Not a real problem but I am curious as to the explanation, would anyone care to try it out and see if you get the same effect? Thanks.
So is this not happening for anyone else, or no one cares to try? Just freeze it in Titanium Backup or something like that and see if you can still bring up the recents menu, it would really ease my mind, thanks in advance I know someone will find it in their heart to do the right thing.
Why do you need to freeze the default launcher? Just wondering. BTW, I haven't rooted my phone yet, which means I can't freeze the launcher like you ask. But I'm thinking it's like freezing the default file manager, which causes some problems.
Hi! I received my Oppo Find N in the mail a week ago and with the help of all the information on this forum I've been able to pull all bloatware, install Google play store, and replace the default launcher. I am using the Microsoft Launcher and everything is working great aside from one function, I can't seem to get the recent apps button to work. The home button and back button work just fine. I've checked access, accessibility options, restarted, cleared launcher cache, cleared phone cache, turned off animation scale, installed 3rd party apps and to no avail, the recent apps will not come up. If I hold the recent apps button it does go into split screen mode as it should. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Any ADB commands I can throw at it? Help will be much appreciated.
This may be related to Android 13, which my phone was upgraded to before I bought it. Looking for options to downgrade. Will post a separate question about that.
Is there still anybody using buttons in navigation bar instead of gestures?
