It happens on all third parties launchers. Try fluid navigation gestures with nova launcher.

That didn't work. Point I'm try to make is after swiping up from bottom, it should go straight to the home screen, instead it briefly goes to recent then home screen, it may be a bug

Yes I know... It happens to all third party launchers on m20p with the stock gesture...
Fluid navigation gestures is a Google play store app. You can use it to replace your currency stock gestures.

I've noticed that swiping from left or right always works but swiping up doesn't and have open Fluid N.G. to getting working again any way to solve this?
Did you put fluid Ng on manual at app launch in settings? And also you need to switch off Google's battery optimisation for fluid ng

No & how do I set it for battery optimization
1. Settings > battery > app launch > Set to manual (I also set the 3rd party launcher to manual. not sure if that's needed, but you need to do it for fluid ng for sure)
2. Settings > in search type "battery optimisation" > select "all apps" > set to "don't allow" for fluid ng

but no longer work in s6 (not sure if it's a know TW issue)
tried both Nova and Apex , both not working
Anyone get it to work? Am I doing anything wrong with setting ? or there is a alternative way to overcome the issue

go to accessibility in settings, scroll to the bottom and turn Nova on. that allows Nova to access notifications.

you don't have what is in this image?
weirdly no, I cant find it, I even use the search function
And i noticed there a some little different in design layout as well, such as no "more" button on right top corner as well as no "off" on the switch button
I'm holding the SM-G925I version
This issue is fixed in the beta version of Nova
Just wait for the newest update when they release it and it will work, or download the beta.

I was annoyed by nova (and other) launchers delaying the launch of an app. There was a noticeable delay whenever I'd launch from the home screen.
For those that want their phone lightning fast, but also want a better launcher than the pixel launcher, here is an xposed mod that fixes it. The thread explains the how and why, but I assure you my phone has never been so fast.
Enjoy.

It's subtle. I use a swipe launcher and when I'd use the pixel launcher with it, the apps from the pixel launcher ran immediately and the apps from the swipe launcher delayed, or vice versa. I started messing with it and found it somehow related to the home screen. It also exhibits when running shortcuts.
So I ran into this - (pretty sweet nav bar replacement) https://www.xda-developers.com/navigation-gestures-update-app-launch-android-p/
and the author says if you run into delays use thatx xposed module. I did and all the delays were eliminated.
I'm not on something - you might not notice it until it's gone. Unless you don't run xposed, then maybe it's more work. Give it a try... or don't. Made a difference for me.

This is amazing how useful this Exposed module is with gestures navigation. Unfortunately Exposed affects Safety Net and I'm unable to use my banking apps even with Magisk hide on. Can someone make an apk file instead of Exposed module???

Everywhere launcher is a gesture based navigator that uses the accessibility service to bypass the 5 sec delay. Navigation gestures (sweet navbar replacement) also bypasses the delay.
Beyond that have no idea.
Does this happen on rootless pixel Launcher by amir?

I didn't know Navigation Gestures bypasses it. Thanks. Currently I'm using Edge Gestures app. Works flawlessly. I wrote to it's developer to implement this solution. If not probably NG will be my choice.

Edge gestures is pretty nice. Way simpler than everywhere launcher. I set left to home, right to back, and up to recents.
I launch from the launcher, so no delays regardless. I went to a completely launcher only solution when I went to pie, as no xposed.

Looks like you find a sweet spot. After I contacted Edge Gestures Dev I downloaded Navigation Geatures app and after setting it I can find it is convenient and works great with no delay as you mention before. Now my Galaxy S8 with Renovate Ice ROM, Substratum overlays and a few additional mods it's a flagship killer ?

Sweet . I'm hiding my nav bar completely using navigation gestures (pill is hidden too) and using Edge gestures as my nav. Swipe right for home, swipe left for back (hold for previous app), up for home (hold for recents).
So nice to have 0 real estate for nav.
Cheers :good:

Since available I'm on permanent immersive mode. In RICE I have 0px for navigation bar height too. Also for about 3 years I'd prefer only gestures navigation method. Since I switched back from iOS (almost 5 years) and BB10 OS (dead) I can't imagine using my phone without gestures. Of course as a die hard Blackberry user I had a never ending ROTFL when Apple "reinvented" gestures navigation for iPhone X. My phone needs to be MINE!
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?

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 do this?
System navigation gestures problem on other launcher.
On Poco or Nova launcher phone will vibrate and show multitasking after swipe up form bottom screen to back home.
how can i fix this?
I think that the latest nova beta works fine with gestures.
Give it a try.....

I'm using Fluid GN with Nova right now and am having some issues. First, if I close the Fluid GN app from task list, the gestures stop working. For some reason, the service doesn't seem to persist. I used Tasker to fix this, but it sporadically keeps stopping anyways. I have all the power saving etc features turned off for Fluid GN. Any idea how to get it working 100% on the M10P?

Did you disable the Android Battery Optimisations as well? That's separate from Huawei's app battery manager.

Open settings and search for Battery Optimisations. Then find Fluid NG and make sure its "Not Allowed". Generally you need to do this for any app you need in the background.

I also found you need to activate "home action compatibility" under "advanced"
Is this an issue only Huawei can fix or is it possible for Nova Launcher to eventually work around it? Fluid is a nice stopgap but it just isn't as good as the phones native gestures.
I find fluid a lot better, actually. Much more customisable and more actions to be set.
Agreed, I actually like the functionality fluid a lot more than the stock one. It's just a shame the animations aren't as good though. It's fine for now though.
maybe disable the huawei gestures and use the xda navigation gestures app or an other not native app
Did you guys use ADB with Fluid N.G. or did you just install it as is?
I had problems with fluid and action launcher... since 9.0.0.146... Working perfectly.
All options set off in advanced and both emui and android power management disabled
Still have the emui gestures on as I don't want the bar showing and it then allows back at the top of your screen too

No ADB needed. You can just switch on gesture navigation in phone settings and then run fluid ng

Can you enlighten that step by step of disabling powermanagement features, cause my accessibility keeps turning off automatically. Altoug I already have battery optimizations off (System > Settings > Apps > Apps > [three dots menu] > Special Access > Battery optimization : Fluid N.G. - Not allowed.
I didn't like how the stock launcher only gave you only a few applications to choose from on the top screen when you were in 'T' mode. I played around with Nova Launcher and changing the options to auto rotate seems to work pretty well.
Let me know how you did it. And if you came up with a better solution.
1. Too screen
2. Bottom screen
3. Top screen (app drawer)
@kaluna00
Same here.
I always select auto rotate for any phone w/Nova Launcher.
Another tool I use is Ultimate Rotation Control (Pro) from the Google Play Store. It has a basic default selection & you can customize on a per-app basis.
Been a good while since the app was last updated, but, it's still 100% functional.
This phone would be a perfect candidate for having Nova Launcher as the default home UI, as Razer has with their two phones. Naturally, it'd need a bit of tweaking for the 2nd display,but,anything other than the stock Launcher would be an improvement.

It allows for orientation on a per-app basis.
Basically, you select a default orientation, whatever that may be (say, automatic). Then, if you want certain apps to remain in something else, say, portrait mode, you can select that app to ignore the default orientation & remain locked in portrait mode.
So, the app isn't really necessary for Nova Launcher, but, a nice tool to have for the rest of your apps.
After a factory data reset. I was playing more with the stock launcher. Hi believe it is a little bit snappier. I'm not a fan of the carousel on the top screen. However, you can swipe up and get into the app drawer on the top screen. You also still can double tap to turn the screen off. Without going into an administrator lock where fingerprints do not work (you need to use the pattern or your code)
Microsoft Launcher is good and feels native if you aren't a fan of carousel mode. The icons will just rotate in landscape. Worth checking out.

Testing out ruthless launcher. Mostly like it. I'll play with it for a few days and let you know how it sticks.
I liked ruthless launcher, but it would not allow me to double tap off the screen unless I gave it elevated rights. I did so, but after you double tap the screen off it locks the phone and you can't activate the fingerprint sensor without hitting the power button. I also noticed that if you double tap to lock the phone and then swing it open the second screen is still unlocked and you have access to the phone. That was the deal killer for me. Back to the stock launcher.
To get out of Carousel mode when you winging the phone open. Just swipe up and you will get to your app drawer

KLWP and the Wing launcher

Allow ruthless to be set as a second screen app. On the second screen select ruthless launcher. Then, swipe up and hold to bring up recent apps. Then pin the ruthless launcher. You should be set after that
