I have TF300 with Katkiss 7.1 recently installed. All seemed to be working fine. Last night I wanted to try 'night mode' . Not seeing it in settings, I installed a bluelight filter app.
Right after installation and turning it on, I found that the navigation bar changed from on the left: 'back', 'home' and 'overview' , to having 'back' on left with an up carat to left of it only when on home screen, 'home' and 'recent on left, and on right: 'overview' and 'previous app'.
Also, I have lost the ability to go to apps drawer by swiping up from bottom. I don't know any way to access any apps other than those on home screen!!
Uninstalled the 'bluelight filter' but that didn't change anything.
I have used the 'system UI tuner' to move all buttons back to left, but still have that carat to left of back button.
Tried powering down and restarting, and booting to recovery.
I installed Nova launcher. Swipe worked once, then failed next time I tried to use it.
1. What is the carat to left of back button about?
2 Is there no other way to access app drawer then 'swipe up'? Is there a way to get 'swipe up' to work again?

Seems like the app corrupted something in the system, best thing to do now is to dirty flash your current rom, just flash and wipe cache and Dalvik cache only then reboot.

I sort of thought I might have to reflash. unfortunately, it hasn't helped. I flashed the 7.1 ver 20 over ver 19, along with supersu and gapps pico. still can't access apps drawer, and carat remains next to back button.
i have installed Nova launcher. set it to use desktop icon to access app drawer . this seems to work. and the carat is gone.. what is the carat about?
any idea what the carat to left of back button is about? just curious.
Unless someone has a better idea, I guess i'll have to wipe, format, etc. then have to reinstall all apps. that's a pain.

I've just this minute flashed the latest CM11 zip file on my SIII through the CM update in the settings and I was surprised to see that it was relatively slower than other updates and there was also a lot of screen tearing and juttering when going from app to app and scrolling down the screen.
Anyway, the problem occurred when I tried going to back to an older version, it successfully installed the older version without a hitch but the problem is that the home screen UI crashes every time I press the home button. I can do everything else on my phone, I can pull down the notification pane and gain access to all the tiles there and if I get a facebook notification for example, I can load up facebook but as soon as I press the home button I get a message saying 'Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped.'
I know there are always problems when reverting back to a previous version but I was wondering if there would be an easy way to fix this without having to factory reset my phone.
EDIT - I just updated back to the latest version and the home screen UI is back but I don't really want to be on this version as it is laggy so if there's a way to use an older version without the home screen error then I'm all ears.
As you can see with the screenshot, I have the settings open which I opened through the tiles pane but trying to press the home button will result in that message popping up every time.

Just go back to a nightly where it didnt crash and you have a smooth UI. There is no problem with that. Dirty flashing works in both directions

That what I did do. I was using cm-11-20140131 then I updated to cm-11-20140202 which was laggy so I reverted back to cm-11-20140131 which was working before the update and this is where I encountered the home screen UI crash

Clearing the date and cache actually worked thanks although now I have to put all my apps back on the screen XD
Im having exact same problem, I can access to apps from my lock screen but when I go to homescreen, thats when "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped"... I went to recovery mode to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache and same error and tried to reflash old nightly and nothing is working. I cant access to setting from my homescreen.. any other ideas?

Same, with my GS4. Tried going back a few nightlies and back to the M release, but Trebuchet (or Launcher3) keep crashing even after wiping caches. I'm actually looking under Settings > Apps > All and don't see Launcher/Trebuchet anywhere...

I got it figured out, try to swipe notification bar down From messaging or even on homescreen and then go to settings with other icons and then when your in settings go to apps then all apps and go to trebuchet app info and clear out data and that should work!!! I fixed mine

This worked for me: Clearing data and cache
Pull down power menu and select settings
Method 1: Clearing data and cache
Go to system settings >> Apps>>Open “All” tab>>Select Trebuchet
Click Force Close>>Clear data and Clear cache of Trebuchet
Restart the phone
Using: EnSec Enhanced Security + Operative w TWRP. WP8 Launcher
I checked the "Always show statusbar" option in Swipe Status Bar. It works, shows the status bar constantly, BUT... Now I can't launch any applications except for the ones that are linked in the main launcher screen. When I swipe right to the drawer, tapping any app has no effect. It seems like it's blocking applications from either detecting screen taps or opening at all.
Even in the few I can launch, like Settings, it doesn't detect when I tap any of the menu options. I can scroll up and down, and pull down the status bar, but I cant make the SSB control panel open again to disable the option.
I tried booting into safe mode, but it still launches SSB so the problem persists. I tried changing to Smart Launcher, same problem.
Is there any way to prevent Swipe Status Bar from starting up?

Same problem here, except I stayed in the SSB settings long enough to discover that unchecking that check box again is one of the things that having it checked prevents you from doing. Long story short, I think this has probably made the decision for me whether or not to switch from EnSec+Operative to Loki's new ROM...because I am not sure there's any way out of this without flashing.
I had the same issue,
Only thing I could do was open up play store and uninstall.
It took forever to figure it out and took many tries till it finally registered my clicking.
If all else fails, you may need to wipe the watch via recovery and start over.
I have since stopped using the app as I never want to go through that nightmare again.

Should have checked the app's page when I saw that feature though:

...Granted, it doesn't mention anything else not working, but that would probably have been enough to keep me from experimenting, even though it still wouldn't have led me to think that checking the box would make it impossible to uncheck the box...

Found another way!
...For those who are remotely comfortable with adb, anyhow.
adb shell 'pm clear cz.chladek.swipe_status_bar'
This is essentially a force-stop and clear app data on Swipe Status Bar. Only works if you already had usb debugging enabled or find a way to enable it, of course.
Thanks for the tip Kilroo, but it was too late for me. I went TWRP and wiped it. Yeah, it cost me a lot of customizations gone, but at least I didnt hand anything there that wasn't backed to the cloud.
One silver lining: Now I get to rebuild the launcher, icons, widgets etc in a bit more usable form. AND I'm staying away from that SWB setting until is out of beta! Thanks for the help, all!

I was afraid of that. Well, maybe if anyone else makes the same mistake it will help them.
I'm still trying to figure out whether I want to go from EnSec+Operative to the new Unified Rom doohickey or not, since I no longer have to redo everything regardless.
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!
All you have to do is install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.home.button.bottom and set it up. Even survives a reboot. Only thing is you push it, not slide up. All other gestures stay the same.

Hi Justin, thanks so much for all the help so far on this forum. But whole installing this app you suggested, I might have stumbled into a native fix for the "third party launched breaks swiping home button" thing.
Like you, I went into adb and deleted stock Oppo launcher in favor of a custom one (I'm using nova), and I too encountered the swipe home button problem where the phoje just goes to this greyed out screen. But while fiddling with the navigation settings, I chose the other swiping method (the one where you DON'T swipe up and hold to bring up multi task), aka #4 "back to the left" option. And after choosing that, my swipe navigations work normally even when running nova. Home swipe works fine.
Maybe the bug is just for the "back at both sides" swiping options?

Thanks a lot for that. Makes everything so much better.
You are the hero dude!
Hi, I have changed my default launcher without using an app, or using adb to remove the default launcher.
After installing the launcher, I've gone to settings, app management, default app management. The option to change my default launcher is there.
All the gesture options, and navigation buttons work, with no black screens or anything. I'm pretty chuffed.
Thanks

That's only available for the global model us fools who purchased the Chinese model are screwed and we cannot change this in settings.
How do you change the type of gesture navigation, I can't find those settings
How?

How do you do this?
So, a week or so ago I've been forced to install an OTA update (despite disabling these in settings, because see this thread), and now my navigation is screwed up.
Swiping right on the pill from any regular app correctly switches to the previous one. Doing the same on a home screen (tested with Nova 6 and Total launcher) *seems* to be doing the same, but in reality it enters a fullscreen version of "app carousel" that you normally enter swiping up on the pill.
The easiest way to spot it (and mostly how it screws me up) is that the next pill swipe right won't switch to the next app, but instead smoothly scroll over multiple of them. Another thing is that because it's the carousel and not actual app (despite being properly fullscreen), any iteraction enters the app, showing the fade-in animation. And only then you can normally use it, so it basically eats the first input you do. Except swipe up, which, like on the proper carousel, kills the app.
This DOES NOT happen with the stock Asus launcher, but I don't want to use it. It also was working well before the update, I swipe to get to the last back from home constantly.
In the attached video, you can see me demonstrating the problem:
- [00:01] First there's a regular "swipe pill up" to open the recents carousel, scrol it back and forth, start swiping up some app, this works as expected
- [00:06] Then, back on home screen, I swipe right on the pill directly, entering the bugged state despite it looking like if it just entered the Reddit app
- [00:08] But another swipe right, instead of swapping to the SCP Reader app, just scrolls thorugh a bunch of them
- [00:13] After swiping back to the first on the list, clicking a post makes a weird "pop-in" animation
- [00:15] Because now we're out of the bugged state and entered the app properly, only the next click selects a post like it should
- [00:17] Back home again, swipe right to enter bugged state like I usually get back to an app after unlocking the phone
- [00:19] Click to exit bugged state again
- [00:21] Swiping right on the pill *from an app*, which works as expected
- [00:22+] Swiping sideways on pill a few more times to show that it's *not* in the bugged state and changes one app at a time, also entering these properly right away
Does anyone also experience this? Obv I tried restarting the phone, disabling/enabling the pill and in general messing with as many settings as I could to try and poke it, but nothing still. It's SUPER disruptive in everyday use, I'd be very glad to try any suggestions/fixes.
This has been happening for last 3 updates if I recall correctly. I have switched to stock launcher until it's fixed.
Really sucks, A13 finally fixed issues with 3rd party launchers but after an update this issue appeared.
