Hi It's officially a week that I've had my Oneplus 7T Pro. So far loving it, had some hiccups rooting and found out there's no working Twrp for us yet but was able to Root through Magisk.
Ok down to the matter does anybody no how to disable the wallpaper scrolling ? I really find it annoying and all my other phones in settings you're able to do it so far no luck with the OnePlus unless I'm blind. I've read that in order to do that you need to use another launcher like Nova.
I did, it worked but I liked to have that function on OnePlus Launcher cause to transition from app drawer to notification I can just swipe up and down, on Nova I have to from the very top for notification and for app drawer I have to swipe from the arrow. Anybody else experiencing this? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Never Settle Peace.

There's no option to disable wallpaper scrolling on stock launcher. But you can add gestures in Nova to support swipe down for notification panel and swipe up for app drawer

For the Wallpaper scrolling thing, if you select an image the correct dimensions for just one screen, I think it stays where it is. Only when you have wider images does it paginate I think.

Big Nova prime fan here. Updated to lollipop and find that it broke expanded notifications gesture. This is a deal breaker for me. Way to far to reach with one hand. Swiping down for notifications should be a standard feature for big phones nowadays. I'm sure it'll be fixed but need to try something different for the time being.
Can you all help me with a new launcher?
Must have: expanded notification gesture.
Wants: similar features to Nova but I'm willing to try something new and expand my horizons, as long as notifications come along for the ride.
Thanks!

Have you tried apex launcher or I think it's called lucid both have gestures, I use nova as well and have used the other two when nova is having issues apex more than lucid, hope that helps some
I rarely use 3rd Party Launchers, but I know Solo isn't horrible and supports gestures and has a free notification add on.
That's one of the main reasons why I downgraded back to KitKat. There was no app being able to expand the notification bar anymore. A little, but absolutely horrible thing. Samsung, what were you thinking?! As long as this doesn't get fixed, I don't even think about upgrading to Lolliflop anytime soon.
Looks like Action Launcher is our only option for expanding notifications. There are others, like those listed above, that support gestures but just not notifications. At least we know it can be done and may be a sign that it won't take too long to fix.
Don't really hate Action Launcher but not sure I am ready to pay $5 to test. Will settle for a few days and see if it grows on me.
Works perfectly for me in latest Nova Launcher Material Beta. It prompts you the first time to enable Accessibility Service when using the gesture.

Is that under nova settings out accessibility settings under system settings of the phone? I'm using apex and I don't see anything under system accessibility.
It works perfectly for me, I have Nova on in accessibility. I'm pretty sure it worked before I turned Nova accessibility on too
keep nova, try my gesture control
MyHomeButton is the only app I know of that works at the moment. But as a stand alone app? Nada. It's unbelievable!
Try the beta version it's fixed and working fine now!
Hi all, this is my first post on here (ever) so go easy!
After owning 3x Mate 9's (MHA-L09 & L29) over the course of the last year, I decided to treat myself and have just received my shiny new Mocha Brown Mate 10 (ALP-L29), imported to the UK from Singapore.
I've noticed one or two "teething" issues however, most niggling being the size of the icons/home screen grid and notifications on the pull down menu, they're all huge!
I have view mode and text size set to "small" in display settings though it doesn't help.
I think, could be wrong, that EMUI 5.0 on the Mate 9 had a "smallest" setting?
Anyway, I was able to shrink the icons, widgets etc to a much smaller size.
Can anyone help with this or am I going to have to hope (and pray) for a software update that addresses this?
It's such a big, beautiful display and is a shame filling it with giant icons....
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks.
When both view mode is set to small on mate 9 and Mate 10, yes the mate 9 icons are slightly smaller.

I thought so, must be a coming fix for this?
Just feels like the fantastic screen real estate is wasted.
There should really be a 6x6 grid option built in to stock Emui don't you think?
I know Nova can provide it, but really want to stay stock for now with phone being so new!

With the last nova update, no crash anymore dude
I tried to persist with the stock launcher but it got the best of me. It just lacks so many features.
I've used alot of launchers but obviously Nova is a good starting point ( it didn't crash for me) and also evie is another one. My every day launcher is action launcher and it is excellent on the mate 10. Launchers come down to personal preference but in my opinion there are plenty out there that are better than the stock one.
Also pixel 2 launcher apk on this great forums is very good and smooth

Same here. BLA-029 .119(C636). Latest version of Nova launcher. Can anyone confirm if they are NOT having this problem? Thanks all.
Same problem here. Seems like view mode doesn't affect the size of the icons on the home screen and the size of the notification toggles. I've had the phone for 2 hours and its been bugging me ever since. I hope someone can fix this. I really hate my icons looking so big.
For smaller icons in stock launcher you have to find an icon pack with smaller icons size. I did it in app Huawei Themes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.deishelon.lab.thememanager You can install new theme from this app which is called "card", and then apply icons from this theme in the native Huawei's theme app. For me icons from card theme look nicely and are smaller than original ones. Give it a try.
Currently using Pixel Launcher and icons are smaller now but the notification toggles are still huge.
When choosing one of the launchers mentioned in this thread, can you still use the navigation dock?
I have disabled the stock launcher since I installed Nova Launcher for my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. After updating to 9.0.0.183, the animations seem to be working fine already.
Anybody else have the same experience?

I just disabled the Launcher. It's working fine now after updating to 9.0.0.183
The only thing that's annoying me now is the front facing camera's stubborn beauty mode that cannot be disabled.
I have loaded the update 182 (yes 182 not 183) from funky Huawei about two weeks ago and that has fixed the one minor issue I've had with Nova Launcher.
It has been working perfectly fine since then.
My only issue now is that the Nova Launcher support has sent me an angry reply to my request because I own a Mate 20 Pro.
Those guys are pretty angry because of the accusations of Huawei intentionally sabotaging them.

I use nova launcher.
you dont understand... can you install newest pixel or lawnchair launcher and set it as default, and give all permissions (and since you disabled the launcher you have to use the navkeys right? ) then reboot.... and look if the new pie gesture ui kicks in.... the recent overview and pill navbar.
get the. apk from xda or apk mirror
because the launcher is responsible for the navigation gestures in android P.
realy hate the emui gestures and wish to use stock android P gestures
this will take max 15min. of your time but help me forever.
thanks in advance

Really? So when swiping up to go to home screen it doesn't show the recent apps for a split second and then go home? It's definitely a bug others have experienced when using gesture nav on emui.

No it works like stock launcher
The gesture navigation works ALMOST perfectly with nova launcher. This is the best I could ask for. But just let me point out some scenarios that it stutters a little bit.
1. The animation when close an app is gone. You can't see the app fading into its position on the home page.
2. The gestures are a bit more sensitive on nova than stock EMUI. For example, swipe up and hold for recent apps. On EMUI launcher, it is about 0.5 seconds. However on nova, it is more like 0.3. Thus I often hold for too long and end up on recent apps instead of home page.
3. Under some special circumstances, the background picture for recent apps screen is the previous app you used. It looks extremely weird. I didn't manage to get a SS of it. Will upload once it happens again.
Having said all of that. I feel this 183 update improved the gestures navigation by a huge leap! Just need time to get use to it.

Hi folks,
Bored of stock Xperia launcher?
Here's the best alternative, Lawnchair.
Google play version is outdated but you'll find latest update here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/delet...627-ci-q-merge-android-apk-download/download/
You will need Lawnfeed to enable Google left panel: https://lawnchair.app/lawnfeed/?ref=lawnchair
Enjoy
I like the way that Lawnchair Launcher looks overall, but I do not like that I can not hide the dock. I prefer having a full screen look where possible.
I like it but I don't like the clock, I wish you could get rid of that and use your own..

I went into the Dock settings and I saw nothing that said "Hide Dock".
I have Nova Launcher now and I can Peek a Boo the dock with a swipe gesture so that it is not always present and disappears when not needed.
That is what I am looking for here. Am I missing something here?
Hey great, thanks for pointing that out...have a look at what I've done...if Lawnchair 2 did a clock like that I would be happy...or if you could mod the clock, colour it, resize it, change the padding around it, and the icons for the weather....so I could make it look like that..
Either way, it looks a million times better than the Xperia launcher so thanks for the advice...
Happy to be able to create folders in the app drawer.
Anybody knows how to get rid of the white line below the dock?

Via adb, you could try:
wm overscan 0,0,0,-30
And to revert:
wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Bear in mind that this simply moves the nav bar below the bezel, some full screen apps react differently to this. Good luck.
I also like the Lawnchair Launcher a lot, but it cannot work with gestures navigation without quickswitch magisk moudle， which is pity like all other launchers

I got my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday and opened it up today and a few things initially that are driving me crazy. I cant change the app drawer to 4x5 or 5x5 or the home screen. I found how but the options are not there. Also, how do I get rid of the massive clock on the lock screen to show a normal clock?
Hi @GrandMstrBud
You can change to 5x5 home app grid by
long pressing the screen,
select 'Wallpaper and Style',
scroll down and select App Grid - to select your choice
Just to confirm I have the Pixel 6 (non pro)

If you transferred your stuff from another phone it may have bugged out and need to clear cache/data to fix the problem.

The only fix for this for now is to have a persistent notification running. That will reduce the clock size and move the clock to the upper left corner. I use Today Weather for that. The Persistent Notifications app works too.
Hopefully Google will add the option to resize the lockscreen clock in a future update. I hate it too.

Myself and my uncle had the same issues with our P6P. The option to change the grid didnt show up. We discovered that for some reason Nova launcher was messing with this option. Deleting Nova from the phone and rebooting and this option should appear. Not sure why this is happening with Nova installed.

Strange, I do have the option. It's not just that you didn't scroll down?
When I got the Pixel 6, that option wasn't there either. I checked again the next day and only then did I find it. I think I started the device once in between.
Edit:
As mentioned before: I had Nova installed on an other device, which was transferred to Pixel 6. Maybe I fixed it with deleting Nova.
Maybe I got it after the november update was installed.
I don't have/cannot find the NFC quick settings switch....
