Strange touch related issue with homescreen - LG V20 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I somewhat recently got an LG V20. (H990DS)
Quite soon I became aware of the following issue:
Several times per day, when turning on the screen, either through fingerprint or pattern, the homescreen doesn't respond to touch.
I've activated "show touches" in the developer menu, and it show that the touches are being registered by the screen, but nothing at all happens.
Horrible stuff caught on camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I first press the home key, then everything works as it should. It's like there's some kind of invisible overlay on the homescreen that intercepts the touches. It's also possible to pull down the status bar while the homescreen is non-responsive. Selecting anything in the notifications resets the homescreen to a working state.
Swiping the notifications up without selecting anything preserves the homescreen in the non-touch-responding state.
Things I've tried:
Factory reset
Rooting/downgrading ROM
Other launchers than stock: Nova, Next Laucher 3D Shell
Checking accessibility settings
Why u do me this horrible thing, Android?
So I'm all out of ideas. I've held off on using this phone as my daily driver because of this horrible nuisance.
I'm hoping that someone here has an idea about what's going on.

Launcherpro

It's by far my favorite launcher but has anyone else noticed instability in the last few updates?
I have noticed it. It's really screwing up my phone. It lags so bad now. What have you been noticing?
Tons of lag, but it's fixable if you go to advanced settings, memory settings, and turn off cache. Restarting the phone into recovery, going to other, and then fixing uid mismatches after turning off cache fixes it. Hopefully the dev will fix it completely and let us still use cache.
Turns out it was just my phone. I went back to just the sense and the phone is still extremely slow.
Verizon is sending me my second replacement.
huh... I'll try vanilla.
Really love it so far, especially the landscape view on home screen, and not to mention the multiple docks(3). I haven't noticed any lag at all, but that could be because it's running off the sd card. Also, the 3d app drawer is pretty cool, a nice change, and a refreshing way to browse the app drawer.

HUAWEI Ascend G300 Lower Touchscreen Issues

The part with red doesn't work on my phone anymore, i can't acces the apps in the app drawer because when I press there nothing happens, also home button, menu button and back button don't work anymore. Could it be the screen digitiser?
I disassembled and assembled it to check if a cable or something wasn't right, but everything seemed ok, but even after that it's still not working.
I did a factory reset and the dock buttons worked but the 3 menu, home and back buttons didnt work and later on the dock buttons didn't work again, should i flash a ROM again? Maybe it would work then, but I'm not sure if the home button is going to work in CWM Touch.
BTW, I went to developer settings and enabled show touches and that area which is affected can't be touched at all but sometimes if I bend the phone, it gets ghost touches and even the dock gets touch inputs.
Factory Reset doesn't solve the problem.

[Q] Weird dock shortcuts issue on LG Optimus L7 [SOLVED]

A friend of mine recently got this weird issue where the shortcuts on the bottom would overlap on top of each other.
See the screenshot below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, only the app drawer shortcut appears to be available as it's label is bright while the others' is dark and tapping on them does nothing.
Has anyone encountered such issue? I am aware that a hard reset might fix this but we do not want to do that. I was thinking of wiping data of the launcher but I am not sure if that has any risks of crashes. I've done data wiping of the launchers on my Samsung phones without any issues but I am not sure how LG's things work.
Just curious, isn't that a screenshot of phone before you changed the launcher?
I ment, you took screenshot and put that as a background.
That's because it IS a screenshot set as a wallpaper. Similar to the popular desktop pc prank with the "frozen" desktop. Just change the home screen wallpaper from Settings(Настройки).
Well that was weird. I never would've thought of that he would have such image applied. You guys turned out right.
Thanks for the help.

How to hide the "Full screen display" bar on EMUI 8

I'm writing this as a guide for my future self (and for the people who find nothing when searching).
If you're like me, you're happy with your Huawei experience (except for them nerfing the bootloader unlock thing), but one thing I hate is this bar.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When it shows up, I usually click it, then click OK, and the game or app I'm using becomes full-screen most of the time. It doesn't really bite me until I open an app like DuckTales Remastered, which doesn't work in full screen mode. This is when you notice that the bar can't be hidden or dismissed, and you will often touch it by accident, making the confirmation dialogue pause the app and break your immersion, or worse, the app restarts in full screen and you lose all your progress.
If you have this problem, download hide full screen by huawei by kaipochi, and open it. Permit it to draw over apps, and you will have a bar display over the full screen bar. You click the number to cycle through three sizes depending on your phone, you can click the bookmark to change the size settings and create shortcuts that open the app with the bar, and click the X to close it.
Hope this helps EMUI 8 users!

lock screen flashlight shortcut toggled by tap

This is too specific for googling,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you go into settings > lock screen > shortcuts
and then place flashlight as one of the shortcuts (which I recommend by the way), and lets say, place camera on the other side..
For some reason, the flashlight is (also) toggled by tap rather then swipe like the other widgets.
(same thing for the Do Not Distrub mode)
This causing a lot of accident toggles from edge palm holding and I find my flashlight on by accident multiple times..
I couldn't find any way to change the way the flashlight is toggled, swipe is perfectly fast enough for me and secure enough to avoid accidental toggles.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!
I had the same issue and after the last update, it went back to swipe.
