App Drawer animation from top of screen - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I use nova launcher and i have a Google Pixel like homescreen setup.
When I swipe up anywhere on the screen the app drawer expands from bottom to top. I want to know if it is possible to make the app drawer expand from top to bottom? Any mod or app?

[Q] Apex Launcher - New/Old App Drawer

Running CM9 (coffeebeans 4/30 build with latest pershoot kernel) on wi-fi 10.1, using Apex Launcher Pro.
I really enjoyed the old app drawer that didn't eat up the entire screen. In the new update, the apps in the app drawer take up the whole screen (similar to Nova Launcher, very different from Trebuchet). This is annoying because I love tapping the left or right of the screen to fast-switch app drawer screens. Yes I know technically the feature is still there, but more often than not, I hit an app instead of making the screen change because the space is so small now (beefy thumb syndrome).
Anyone here know if there's an option to go back to the old app drawer look? I posted at the Apex forum, but that place is a ghost-town filled with pr0n

[Q] Transparent icons for certain things (app drawer, settings, etc)

I'm trying to figure out how to get some transparent actions on my nova homescreen so I don't have to have the icons in the corners of the screen showing. Right now I just have the icons for the settings, app drawer, nova settings and camera shown in each corner but it looks kinda bad like that.
Anyone know any app or way to do this?

Favorite launcher (home screen)

What's your favorite launcher? Nova seems popular, and I use it, but my favorite one is total launcher currently full version unlocker is on sale for about a day.

It's not super user friendly because it's so customizable. Just an example with my screenshots you tap "net" it opens my web browser Firefox, but when I click on the flashlight now when I tap "net" chrome opens.
I've started using FastKey launcher and I'm loving it. Fastest launcher available right now.
I started using evie launcher. Replaced nova. Not as customizable, but very smooth. Low resources.
I like nova because gesture swipe screen up/down to open apps and notification. No need to tap app icon or swipe status bar, you can do it everywhere on the screen.
Is there any other lighter launcher than nova that have similar gesture?

Try FastKey, it's not pretty but it's brainless and crazy intuitive.
I tried fastkey, then i tried KISS launcher, KISS is better
I also use KISS launcher for a long time and satisfied with it

Yes, fastkey is the best launcher for people who have 100+ apps, I have 684 apps installed. But the dev of fastkey isn't active now.
I like Nova with swipe gesture.
- Swipe right to open Google (using google companion addon)
- Swipe down gesture everywhere at home screen to expand notification
- Open apps by swipping up
- and badges
- popup menu
KISS is the best for me

Same setup here and I've tried all the popular ones, but nothing comes close to Nova
Meh, I still think Nova is superior
Try lawnchair launcher it is customisable pixel launcher with blur option and supports icon pack ls and has swipe gestures
Been using Apex Launcher for ages. For me the key points are the ability to modify the grid on the home page and to be able to hide apps in the drawer. Would like to switch to a more modern launcher (and one that's actually maintained) but haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Tried Nova a couple of times but have always returned to Apex...
Nova all the way. I don't think I've ever used another launcher. And the weird part is I think most people prefer Nova for its gestures but I don't. For me, Nova's best selling point is convincing me that it isn't even there.

Nova is the best! I use it since my sony xperia S, bqck in 2012

I've used quite a few launchers before but now I have Meizu and I love their native interface so I stopped using another launcher

How To Enable Swipe/ Pull Down Notification Bar From ANYWHERE at Homescreen?

Any one here able to swipe/ pull down from anywhere at homescreen to access notification bar? I mean i shouldn't have to reach the top homescreen? I am using Mi A3 Android 10
Thanks
You can't with the pre-installed launcher, only with third-parties like Lawnchair
But, when you use any third-party launcher, you can't use the gesture navigation, so it's one for the other

App icons in Recents screen. Possible to disable?

I just upgraded from the V30 to the V60. I noticed there is a dock of app icons in the bottom of the recents screen. Is there any way to disable this?
I use Nova launcher with custom icons, but the icons in the recents screen are all stock. It looks really out of place and inconsistent.
