Anyone else use Nova Launcher? Seems the phone does not like to keep Nova Launcher as default after a reboot. (Haven't tried others)
Is it a launcher problem or a phone problem?
[edit] OK. Got a response from Nova. Apparently it's a Google/Samsung thing that needs to be worked out. But, trying to restart and keep setting Nova as Default at some point may stick.
Another issue I was having was not being able to press anything right after returning home. That's also a Google issue that can't be fixed on Nova or any other launcher's part.
I see the same thing on my T-Mo S21+. After I reboot the nova home screen comes up as expected but a default home application is gone in settings (none are checked). Using "Close All" takes me to the Samsung home screen instead of the Nova home screen. Setting the default home back to Nova seems to fix the problem (until the next reboot). Fortunately, I rarely reboot...
No idea why.
I had this start on my S20+ after One UI 3 update, I mentioned it on Reddit and someone said it was a known issue and would be fixed in January. Obviously not fixed yet as I too still have this problem, it seems intermitent though, hopefully they will fix it soon.
For what it's worth Nova (6.2.18) works fine for me. Have probably rebooted phone 10 or so times.
Had my S21 last monday, this problem happened during the first hours of use, and has completely disappeared from now on. (Nova 2021 here)
I'm an Action Launcher user, and I haven't had that issue with my device (S21+).

So probably a Nova issue. Guess will have to wait for an update.
as mentionned above, I don't have the issue anymore with Nova 2021...
What about this other issue? Upon going to home screen from any app. When you immediately press any other icon or do any gestures, nothing but a flash happens.
Upon further inspection. There are little marks on the both lower corners. They disappear after about a second. I think that's what's causing the screen flash. When they disappear, no flash.
Is that a Nova thing or One UI thing? I haven't deviated from how how use/setup the launcher last few years.

I use lawnchairway better than nova for my needs
I didn't have any issues with Nova on my S21 Ultra. I'm giving the stock One UI 3 launcher a try after using Nova for almost 10 years.

The little white marks is google assistant, if you swipe from the corner it will come up. But it's not the cause of the problem unfortunately. Try going to the app switcher first and then going home & pressing something quick. The screen flash doesn't happen on Niagara launcher for me, but the google assistant indicator still comes up. Wish there was a way to fix the screen flash though.
> Another issue I was having was not being able to press anything right after returning home.
This is a gestures + custom launcher issue, it's not solvable by the vendor (Samsung) or the launcher developer (Nova dev) unless Google does something about it.

This is no longer the case for me. My T-Mo S21+ (NYC) updated the firmware yesterday (AUAG), and Nova now remains the default home screen after reboots (and anything else).
fwiw
Nevermind. I just rebooted again, and the default home was no longer set to anything. After resetting it to Nova, it stuck, but whatever the problem is, it still exists. Sorry for the false hope.

I feel like this is something that is an issue in some third party launchers, but this is constantly happening in the leaked TouchWiz Honeycomb build for the Tab 10.1. I think this was happening to me before on the stock OS as well. I am not using ADW or LPP, just home launcher, and even if I am not rotating the display, the widgets and icons are always reloading/redrawing when I come back to it from an app. WHY??
I see no options or settings relating to this and I have done nothing to cause it.
Anyone else having this issue?? It happens to me like 7 out of 10 times when reverting to the homescreens.
I'm seeing the same thing on an Epic running ACS (Froyo). It tends to happen when I rotate the home screen. I've had the phone about 3 weeks - I only noticed it happening within the past week or so. It may have had something to do with an app I installed, but I have no idea what. Any ideas anybody?
Happening on the pre touchwiz stock rom. I use ADW and Stock Launcher. I also can't seem to make the default home setting start set. I repeatedly get prompted to choose a home screen when. K press HOME.

I think my issue may just be a performance problem with Touchwiz when there are a lot of icons in the home screens. If I clear the data for TwLauncher, it rotates pretty quickly. As I add my icons back, it gradually gets slower. Once I have them all back (I have about 70 icons), it takes 15-20 seconds to redraw. LauncherPro doesn't seem to have that problem, so I'll just use that for a launcher instead.
I'm having some trouble with my launcher of choice, Apex.
Every now and then it will crash, leaving me with a black screen. The screen will remain black and the phone unresponsive for around 10 seconds. Then I'm thrown back to my home screen.
I'm assuming that it's Apex crashing, but there is no error message or dialog box of any kind, so I can't be sure.
This often happens if I click the back button multiple times to get out of an app, or when I am using an app and then click my home button. It does this with many different apps.
Is there any way I can start troubleshooting this? Logs of some kind? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using apex (pro) and it works fine, maybe you clicking back several times is just making the app FC or just brain-farting android.
I have the Pro version too. And yeah at first I thought it was me causing it, since the last Android phone I had was running Eclair and I thought that maybe ICS doesn't like back button mashing... But the black screen also happens if I background an app using the home key.
It's really a shame because I'm loving Apex.

Hmm well that's really weird. Do a backup in apex, then force stop, clear data, uninstall and then reinstall it. See if you still have the problem. Also, see if the "keep in memory" option is checked, this should prevent things like this, or it having to load again when coming back from another app.
I had the same issues with apex, couldn't figure out what exactly caused the problems...for that reason I'm on go launcher for now.

It seems like this has solved my problem! It was unchecked, so I checked it and now it seems fine! You the man!
Didn´t solve it here, as said above, it is already checked. Maybe an update will solve these problems in near future, it is really sad that apex suffers here.
It appears I spoke too soon, Apex still crashes/freezes for me.
I also tried Nova Launcher and it does the same thing.
I keep very few apps backgrounded, and I have removed a lot of bloatware. My phone should be a lean, mean machine... I guess I just have to live with it, maybe in the future a custom ROM will solve it.
If you guys check your logcat logs, you'll see evidence of apex crashing. I already contacted the developers and they said it's a known issue but are still looking into it. For now I'm using go launcher.. not so smooth, but lots of features
Had the exact same issues, switching to Nova solved the problem for me.
Yup same problem, back on touchwiz for now.

Hi there.
After the last big update to Nova some weeks ago, this started (see attached SS).
Have anyone tried it before? Sometimes it just appears; this time after I played on N64oid. Another weird thing is that sometimes I can just press System Settings (top right corner) and then press the Nexus 7 home button, and then it sends me back to the home screen, like nothing was ever wrong.
I have tried removing the widgets and replacing them afterwards! It removes the problem, but it returns after a while again.
I'm on JB - Paranoid android 2.56; Franco kernel.
Someone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem on Note 2 with stock Image, but rooted.
Did you find any solution for this?
I think the problem could be to many widgets or a specific widget that makes the problem.
A reboot solves the problem for me but just for a short time. I did not find any way to reproduce the problem, it seems to be coming up by chance...
I have 22 widgets at the moment, the most are coming because I am useing "App Quarantine" a lot...

Just wondering if anyone here has tried using Action, Apex, or Nova launcher with HAM2? I've installed both Action and Apex launchers and neither one will run reliably. With Action, it did run for about two weeks, then just stopped. I re-installed it but it never ran properly again. Periodically the app drawer would disappear, and the apps on the home screen would re-arrange themselves. The list of apps that can be accessed by swiping from left to right also disappeared. Apex launcher worked for a short while (meaning a few minutes) and then the widget that I have on the home screen disappears and the apps on the screen re-arrange themselves. Some apps show up on a different screen. If I leave home page and open an app or if I open an pp on the home page, it depends on how I return to the home page as to whether the widget disappears and the apps re-arrange themselves. If I return to home page by pressing the home icon, then everything is changed when I return. If I return to home page by pressing return button, then everything remains the same.
My Ascend Mate 2 is Model MT2L03 with 16 GB internal storage and a 32 GB SD card. It has Android version 4.3, Emotion 2.0 Lite, and Kernel version 3.4.0. Apart from the launchers mentioned above and hiding the notification bar to provide more space on the screen, I have not made any changes. I'm not sure whether the problem I'm having with the two launchers is unique to my phone or whether it's a problem with all HAM2's. Would appreciate any feedback.
I have been using Nova since day one with my HAM2, and I have had no issues at all. Runs super smooth, and everything works as it should. Maybe give Nova a try.

It's possible the power saving modes in the HAM2 are causing issues. Try using the phone on regular power mode, not endurance or smart.

make a backup of your current rom before you try the following:
1) reset the app data for your launcher and redo it
2) try a factory reset.

I'm using a MT2L03 on 4.3 and have been using Nova since nearly day one myself, haven't had any issues. Sometimes I forget I have a launcher and that it's not stock built into the phone, haha I had issues with Apex at first too, + it was lagging, guess it doesn't like to play nice with our phones.
Been using Nova since the first day... It's solid and no issues

Problems With Action & Apex Launchers in HAM2
Hi guys. After reading the replies to my original post here, I installed Nova Launcher and have had no problems since. Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm an Apex user and have had zero issues.
I'm sure some of you have experienced the Recent Apps button (3 button navigation) not working with 3rd party launchers (Nova, Microsoft, etc). The only fix I have been able to find is to switch the default launcher to the Pixel Launcher, and then back to your 3rd party launcher of choice.
Luckily, I have been able to replicate this problem consistently. While using a 3rd party launcher (Nova launcher in my case), open any app (and only one) and press the Recent Apps button 3 times quickly. The Recent Apps button should stop working. It does not break when there are no recent apps or when there are 2 or more.
Hopefully, this information might be helpful to minds smarter than my own.
If anyone else is experiencing this or is able to replicate the issue as well, I'd like to hear what your setup and experience with the issue is.

I've been using Nova on my P6 since I got it, until 2-3 days ago anyway when I decided to try Gesture Navigation instead.
I've never had the issue you're showing, not a single time. What I DID encounter a few times is that instead of the proper Recents overview when tapping on Recents I'd only see a weird view of my homescreen, like when you longpress anywhere on the homescreen, except that it was ONLY the homescreen and no settings/wallpaper or other options. That happened randomly and was hard to reproduce, but I've never seen the issue you're showing in the video
Did you import/restore any apps/settings, esp. for Nova, when you set up the phone? That seems to cause a lot of issues when coming from a non-Pixel device. I hard a weird glitch were the display would briefly light up every 10-20 minutes when the phone was just sitting there untouched, a factory reset and fresh install of all apps fixed it.
Maybe try that too?

This is a fresh install of Nova. I Imported all my apps from my Galaxy S10+, so I'll try that and report back with results.
Other than that, what do you think of the gesture navigation? I pretty much wrote it off as soon as I got the phone.

I've never been a fan of it, never used it before and still don't like it. The only reason I'm trying it again is because I'm still not rooted and simply can't stand looking at that ugly white navbar (yea yea, I know I'm weird ). It works I guess, but getting to Recents for example is a hit & miss with gestures, navbar is much more reliable for me.
Whatever your issue is I hope you get it sorted

I can replicate this on my P6 also, 3 taps and recents is broken. I have to change launchers or power cycle (reset) to get it working again. I originally imported settings and apps from an LG V35 10 days ago.

FIX!!!!!!
Settings > System > Developer Options > Animator duration scale
Turn to 'Animation off'
The Window animation scale and Transition animation scale has no effect on this.
After changing this, I have not been able to replicate this issue.
My best guess is that the recent apps button is pressed while the animation is still going, and the phone has the electronic equivalent of a mild stroke.
Can anyone else confirm that this corrects the issue? I haven't seen a solution like this on any of the many threads about this.

Turning animation off prevents the 'recents' button failure, but I wouldn't call it a fix since then animations won't work. Personally I will keep animations set to .5 and try not to press 'recents' too many times. The lack of animations gives the Nova UI a flat and amatuerish look.
This is a Nova bug, probably due to Android 12 incompatability, since it doesn't happen with the Pixel launcher. I guess we can hope that they correct it eventually.
Thanks for identifying the cause, I had this happen multiple times before I read your post and didn't have any idea what was causing it.

I have some shaky hands so I end up pressing the button a few times fairly often.
I think the issue is with Pixel Launcher. I have confirmed that this issue happens in other launchers as well (Microsoft Launcher). I also found that killing the Pixel Launcher fixes it too.

This. I have this problem where the recent apps don't show, and instead I just get a zoomed out version of my homescreen. This happens CONSTANTLY and is the most annoying thing about this phone. It happened to me on the stock launcher as well as on Nova.

I did tick that, because I couldn't open my recents menu to close apps. I just unticked that option, and still have the same issue happen when I hit the recents button.
It zooms out to a smaller version of my homescreen, and if I swipe up it will close the most recent app, then show the rest of the open apps, if I just swiped to the right to go to another open app, the smaller homescreen slides to the right off my screen but it doesn't show the other running apps. It's almost as if it's having an issue drawing the image of the open apps.

Not sure I'd call it a "fix" but since I switched to Gesture Navigation instead of using the navbar it hasn't happened once. Maybe the P6/A12 does something odd with the Recents button that needs to get fixed through an update, no idea.

I thought that would fix it as well, so I switched to navbar (which I prefer anyway) and it is happening there too . A12 is just so buggy, it's annoying, I hate that companies use the public as their beta testers nowadays
Just noticed it today had it since launch day. Only change was the fingerprint reader update I did yesterday.

I'm coming from an LGV30, running Nova. I was planning to just import settings and apps to my P6Pro when it arrives. Did that ultimately work for you, or did you end up doing a fresh install of all your apps, including Nova?

Actually it worked very well, I was surprised. I used cable method that google recommended with the usb-c cable that came with the phone.
I have done LG to LG imports and Samsung to Samsung but never tried LG to Pixel.
I still had to do a lot of setup steps like passwords, set the home screen to Nova and handle the widgets. Be sure to go the play store and do an 'update all'. But it was much easier and quicker than doing a clean install. I figured I could always do that later if I suspected something was not working.
There are issues with the phone and Android 12 but so far I don't think any of them have to do with the install (of course I could be wrong).
Great! Thanks for the info.
Chiming in with a stock unrooted Pixel 5 using Nova Launcher. My Recents also becomes randomly unresponsive, and I am able to reproduce it using the method in the first post (press three times rapidly). I also get the weird zoomed out blank menu as others have mentioned fairly regularly.
