If you install Nova launcher there is no autodimming in apps like Chrome, try and check it out. For me it's solved. If I return to stock launcher bug is there again, but on nova launcher no problems.
I'm using nova launcher prime but still with Chrome and some other apps the autodimming is there.
If you really want this annoying dimming bug to stop, you'll have to root your phone, and freeze this system app: Power Genius
It's possible to do with this free app: App Quarantine

I am running Apex Launcher Pro and have started to notice a problem. When I uninstall apps that I have in folders in Apex Launcher Pro, the icons for those apps are not being removed when i uninstall the apps. I uninstalled roughly 30-40 apps not too long ago and they are all still present in my app folders on my desktop. Is there a way to have Apex remove these icons when uninstalling apps? Currently I have to go and test icons to see if the apps are installed or uninstalled in order to test them, which can be quite annoying if you have a large number of apps.
I am running the latest Apex on a Verizon GS3 running Synergy ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Still looking for info on this.

Try restarting from apex settings

Nope =/
They are not cleared out after a restart. Restarting phone, installing Apex updates, restarting the launcher, or having Apex crash and reload all fail to clear the uninstalled apps.
I am intentionally leaving these in my folders for testing purposes, but I have failed to find a fix. I have paid for both Apex Pro and Nova Pro and have been an Apex user for a long time now. I may have to switch to Nova if I can't figure out what is causing this, but I would prefer to find a fix as I enjoy Apex.
Hi. I have a strange problem with Nova Launcher. My wallpapers just stopped scrolling with Nova Launcher without changing any settings, and its just with Nova Launcher. If try any other launcher even stock its scrolls without any problems. I tried checking settings and the scrolling i on, I even tried force on but same thing. If I reinstall nova its starts to work again but until I do launcher backup. I don't understand whats wrong with it... Does anyone have ideas what could be wrong? It pisses me off...

Nova wallpaper scrolling problem
A simple cure works for me. I use ES File Explorer (free on Play Store) to select the image via the Nova wallpaper option from the menu button. Hope this helps.
For rhkendrick56, how would you do this? I have ES File Explorer downloaded but I am not sure how to select an image via Nova Wallpaper.
I wanted to install and use the Google Now Launcher in my Moto E... But the fact is, After I set it all up, I have noticed 2 things:
a) It takes up a huge amount of RAM
b) The transition from the app drawer to the Home Screen is really, really choppy (laggy)
My question is : Is this a problem with my device or some problem related to the launcher itself?
(I have also used the Nova, Aviate and Apex Launchers before... But they have all been smooth like the stock Launcher)

Install Link2SD app and move some apps to the SDCARD to free up space, then install the google launcher now, I did it and ran well, to make this you need rooted.
Google Search version 4.0 doesn't have this issue, as the transition from home screen to app drawer and vice versa is smooth. But the only catch is that, as Google Search version 4.0 is only released with Lollipop, installing it in 4.4 unrooted ROMs would make your OK Google search hotword not working anymore. So have to disable OK Google hotword or it keeps crashing. If you don't mind that, then its a prefect launcher.

ya those transitions are really laggy..but those will be fixed in lollipop.!
BUT WHERE IS THAT UPDATE MANNN..!!AM FRUSTRATED NOW
I am downloading Google Search v4... along with the L Launcher...
But the catch is, my phone is not rooted...
So I'll try and disable "Ok Google" and find out.
Thanks everyone
I am using google now launcher w/o OK google and average 450 mb free ram.No lags.
Hello,
I have a problem with Greenify. I don't have Nova Launcher added to the hibernated apps and when I try to hibernate it launcher is crashing. I've tried to wipe the data, reinstall and so on and the problem still remains. Can you help me somehow?
I have LG G2, stock 4.4.2.
If it's not on the hibernate list, it shouldn't be interacting.
If you have Titanium Backup, the simplest thing would be to restore an earlier backup of Nova - see if the problem goes away.
If you don't, maybe uninstall Greenify and see if the problem goes away.
If it doesn't (so probably a Nova issue) uninstall/reinstall. Before you do that, though, back up all your nova settings so you don't have to re-do everything
I'm not a Greenify expert, but that's how I'd approach it...

In my opinion, if you greenify/hibernate Nova, it will crash. Nova controls your UI, so that may be the reason.
But I don't have Nova added to the hibernated apps

You are not clear about what you are trying to do. If Nova is not among the hibernated apps, then what crashes and when?
Why do you want to hibernate the launcher that controls your UI? I don't understand...
Wonder if anyone else has this issue.
Since 01/01 Nova Launcher started crashing every time I tried to use it.
Tried clear cache, uninstall, reinstall etc. but every time I select it and go from Settings to Home screen I get an error from "Smart recovery" saying Nova caused "fatal" crash and I should uninstall it.
Nova Launcher beta was last updated on 21st December and EMUI over Christmas to 153 version, I can't recall changing anything that could've impacted Nova.
Then I got Action Launcher, which works fine until I try to create and save folder, when I get the same error from "smart recovery".
I'm puzzled by this, really getting tired of EMUI bugs and issues.
I'm having the same issues with any launcher I try to use, as soon as I change the Launcher in the default app the phone crashes and asks me to uninstall the launcher.
Strange and i can imagine frustrating. Here no such problems. Using Nova launcher beta on .153 with fluid navigation gestures without any issues. Did you try factory reset?
manually grant storage permissions and you should be good to go

Both Nova & Action have storage permission, switched it off & on anyway, but didn't make a difference.

I wanted to avoid a factory reset, was hoping Nova beta update might be released soon, and somehow fix it.
Using Fluid NG since I got the phone and everything was working fine with Nova.
I guess this is what happens when manufacturer interferes with how launchers work(ed) on all other Android devices for years.
I also had problems with Nova crashing but Action Launcher is working with no problems
