Hi all,
I have a rooted Nexus 4 and I come from CyanogenMod (Android 4.3). The bottom half of my screen is crached so I heavily used the pie controls. I recently switched to OmniROM with LMT Launcher and I have to following questions :
The Pie is not accessible when the notifications drawer is open, is there a way to get the pie working here too?
The CM pie display the "Menu" button only when needed, just like the stock navigation bar. Is there a way to have LMT display the Menu button more intelligently?
Is there a way to shrink the Menu button from the pie to something really small, just like the real navbar ?
I've searched around for the solutions (Pie Launcher from the Play Store isn't better), but either the solution is not out there, or I don't have the proper keywords. (I can't post in the more relevant LMT*Launcher thread as I'm new here)
Maybe there is a way to use Paranoid Android or the CyanogenMod pie in Omni?
The notification bar is horrible, i like the stock android one where i can turn off wifi/bluetooth etc - i downloaded an app that tries to emulate these things but its not the real deal.
I already use a custom launcher -how can i replace the notification bar ?

I think root with xposed framework will do. But I dont touch that, because I always semibricked phones with it.
Personally, I only miss the brightness in there. Mine is clean showing only the clock and my push notifications. The stock multitasking feature is full of the Features you want in the notification bar and also customizable. I like the idea as the multitask switching itself on the most roms is very "empty". Just your windows and thats it. In EUI its like a "quickbar"
Hi guys, I would like to know if there is any app that change recent like blackberry priv style, it's easier for me to do multitasking.
Thanks a lot
I'm using RR Marshmallow btw
I think there is a couple different options for the BB Priv recents menu. Which one are you referring to? I think RR has the Slim Recents option. I find that one a little handier than the normal recents for most things.
the swap from bottom screen then grid menu appear as recent
im bored with slim atm haha
Is there any cc9 launcher apk files for mi a3?
Nova launcher pro, everytime on every phone ? Swipe up gesture to turn screen off, swipe down to show notifications. Widgets can overlap and resize freely. Has app drawer. I am not aware of other launcher with these (and many more) features.

You lose pie/Android 10 recents with Nova though.
For Android 9 I use Hyperion launcher
For Android 10 I use paphonb quickstep port (or lawnchair v2 early Android 10 release which is pretty buggy but usable)

I wasn't even aware that recent menu has changed with Pie. Just tried it and to be honest, I prefer the Nova recent menu. But maybe I'll give a chance to and try some other launcher with system recent menu support.

You will also need quickswitch magisk module to enable the recents view on custom launchers that support it

I have also nova pro. it really has cool features but i m looking for a launcher which without app drawer.
Stock launcher is good enough for me i like it, i use to use pixel launcher in my old phone, i already have pixel launcher in mi a3 so no need for 3rd party launcher

Nova settings -> app drawer -> gestures -> swipe to open/close. You can remove app drawer icon then. It's pretty close to the stock launcher behavior. Or, Nova settings -> home screen -> new apps -> add icons to home screen. Then you don't need to use app drawer at all, all new app icons will be on your home screen after installation (you will need to add existing apps manually though).
Nova since 4ever.
Swipe up for drawer, drawer have one page and everything in folders, double tap to turn off, swipe down for notifications , counter clockwise for settings.

Still like I said above you will lose the Android 9/10 recents view on launchers that don't support it. Nova being one of them
I'm a huge fan of Nova. It's the best launcher for Android ever made. But recently I've switched to Hyperion. It's really awesome. I really like the blur effect a lot. Immersive mode, gestures, screen lock-everything is there. It's the second best launcher imo.
I'll probably switch back to Nova eventually.
Another launcher I really like is Lean launcher. Super lightweight, super snappy launcher with not many customization options. Has Google feed & screen lock with double tap though. Allows you to hide apps & change the icon for individual apps.

Just wondering, what's so good on stock recent apps menu? I use it only to switch between apps. The omnipresent Google search bar irritates me, can it be disabled?

Just how fluid it is being able to open the app drawer from the recents menu by just swiping up on the dock and the way it fits with the gestures of Android 10 now aswel it's just way better in my opinion. But it is completely up to the person and what they prefer themselves. I can't tell you it's the best coz each to their own.
Also thats pixel launcher that has Google search. Aosp quickstep launcher does not have Google search in dock

I see, thanks for the explanation. So you basically like features which I prefer not to be present. Nova launcher with "old" recent menu seems to be the better choice for me. Anyway, going to try Hyperion, it sounds nice I'll give a chance to the quickswitch Magisk module too, maybe it'll grow on me.
Mine is Niagara, best simplistic launcher, best one handed launcher ive ever used.

I suppose you mean recen apps, because recent in general is the same.
+1 for Niagara and Lines icon pack.

Ya and the way you can access the app drawer by simply swiping up on the dock. It just all fits seamlessly with the new gestures
I have been using an app called Granular Immersive Mode that does not require root to hide the status bar on selected applications. You do need to grant permission through ADB but the instructions are fairly clear and straightforward. After the update today the app stopped working as it used to, it no longer hides the status bar, just changes color to black, I have tried other immersive mode apps and they are all working in the same fashion. This is a big bummer for me...be aware if you are running the update today and any tips or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have this phone but Fluid NG gestures doesn't hide the navbar since android 11. I have to use a magisk module to get rid of the navbar.

LG put a backed-in option to hide the navbar now but there is no way to hide the status bar which bothers me the same.

It's because Google nuked overscan from Android with Android 11. Overscan is what allowed pretty much every third-party app in existence to "push" things like status bars and navigation bars offscreen. When asked about this, Google admitted that killing overscan is a feature, not a bug, so sadly, it's here to stay. It blows.
I loved FNG, but I've since had to revert to LG's gestures (which, to their credit, are WAY better and smoother than they were in Android 10, IMO). I can't root my phone, so it is what it is.
