I've been using Rootless Pixel Launcher since Jan without any issues. Yesterday I noticed the Nav Bar is always active on the home screens. This happened at some point after the oreo update.
I tried to see the most recommended solution to change the App scaling, but it's not even on the list. I uninstalled 3.0 and tried with 3.2 and 3.3 but still the same. I've erased cache and restarted but still an issue.
Apps can go full screen just not launcher. Tried the dpi and resolution but no change.
Anyone have another solution?

When I first got the tablet installed Google Now Launcher and everything was fine. About a month ago I decided to check out an update to the Nova Launcher and when I came back to Google Now Launcher both the Navigation and Notification bars are no longer translucent (transparent). I get these ugly black bars that I can't get rid of.
Here's what I've tried to fix this.
- Clearing Cache + Data for Google app, Google Now Launcher, and Google Play Services then rebooting. (Didn't work)
- Uninstalling and reinstalling those same apps. (Didn't work)
- Reapplying the Wallpaper. (Didn't work)
I'm haven't rooted my tablet and don't plan on rooting it either. Does anyone have any other tips or tricked they could share? This is getting very frustrating, and I don't want to do a factory reset. I have games that don't save data to the cloud. And again I'm not resorting to root. Thank you for your help in advance.

Nova has an advanced option to enable/disable status bar transparency. Check that. Also, maybe the fact that Nova is installed messes with the status bar? I'm using Nova and don't have the issue.

I uninstalled Nova a few minutes after I installed it. I just wanted to check out a feature that it got new at the time. Haven't used it since.

Maybe try installing Nova again and mess with the setting I mentioned? I have the feeling it left something behind, messing up the transparency of your status bar.

Idk why it would do that cuz I didn't mess with any of the Nova settings, but I'll give it a shot.
I am using Poco Launcher and installed Pixel icon pack. However after some time, some icons revert back to the default Poco icons while the rest stayed as it is. Why is this so?
I'm having the same issue. Mostly happens with the facebook & messenger app icons.
Same exact problem, Facebook, Messenger and Google Podcasts
It seems it has something to do with the recent release of miui 10 . .
Same thing happens with themes.If you apply a non pre-installed theme.After some time it reverts back to stock
Is there any icon pack confirmed to work fine with poco launcher? i tried borealis and h20 , they all have some icons reverting to default
Got the same issue. Tried it with H20 and Viral and it seems to be happening solely with the Facebook and Messenger icon.
Has anyone found a fix yet?
Got the exact same issue. Anyone else?
It's not just Facebook and messenger, I've noticed Google play store reverted back to original as well.
annoyingly, over time they all revert back to stock.
I'm having the exact same issue with pixelful icon pack, but I've noticed that the gallery icon also changes back to stock sometimes, it also happened with the play store once.
i have same thing with icons and themes , all back to classic , even the poco theme
looks like im not the only one here hahaha have the same problem too
This seems to happen when an app updates from play store. Bug in the launcher.
Poco Launcher was updated recently to version 2.6.3.7.
This bug should be fixed.
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

Using action launcher as well but having issues on camera, sometimes it forced closes would not open unless phone rebooted but never happens in stock launcher..
Hi,
On the EMUI 9, I bet there's some of you who wanted to have properly functioning recent apps through gesture navigation when using any custom launcher. And I bet you resolved this issue by disabling/uninstalling the stock launcher through adb. On the EMUI 9 it used to revert back to EMUI 8 style recent apps.
But on the EMUI 10, if you disable or uninstall the stock launcher, the recent apps WON'T EVEN SHOW UP.
Has anyone else had this issue?
PS: I'm using Mate 20, but from what I've seen, there's more traffic on the Pro version forums, and this case is mutual for both versions. That's why I posted it here.
Hello,
the same for Honor View20. I found no solution
Same issue. I'm going to try reversing these steps but don't know that I have a copy of the launcher.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/themes/how-to-enable-android-oreo-style-t3864229
This fixed it for me:
Code:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.huawei.android.launcher
If you're using gestures you'll just need to reboot before they work with apps and third party launchers.
On my Nova 5T I also lost Recents (and swipe up for home). I solved my issues with Fluid Navigation Gestures and Swiftly.
I now have sort of "Tap for Recents" in the middle of my Nova dock on home screen AND also in every other app.
Same issue with no resolution
I have the same issue on Honor 8X I uninstalled the Home EMUI 10 as it was annoying me every hour with "Smart recovery issue" I was using Nova launcher and Microsoft launcher.
Now after uninstalling the recent button is not working. Please anyone to support.
you can reslove this issue disappeared recent app by
setting>system&update>reset>reset all settings
Hi to fix this issue I had to use adb to reinstall the huawei launcher
look at this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81163467&postcount=24
Hi, same issue here.
But I hope there is another solution instead of reenable huawei home launcher. Because I want to have the vertical apps, not horizontal.
Does anyone have an idea how to get vertical app switch back?
EDIT: I did a rollback to EMUI 9.1
Hi,
i have a little problem with the (quickstep integrated) oneplus launcher in a custom rom (aosip10):
when i swipe up anywhere in any app i go back back to launcher - of course standard. but when i short swipe up in launcher again it should me get to the first/primary page - which does not work, launcher page stays where it is. the same on with stock system launcher (Quickstep launcher).
now, i switch custom roms sometimes. there a custom roms, like revengeos, in which this works with oneplus launcher. on aosip atm not.
so i guess this is a system setting, not a launcher build in behavior.
does anybody knows, if this is just a setting anywhere in the internal settings-db's (global/system/secure) or something?
thanks in advance.
