Give Nova Launcher a try. You can get rid of the Google bar and almost every other thing you want to tweek.

thank you guys. Used Apex Launcher and now i've found my peace

I have always used GO Launcher of Nova, Apex and many others. I dig the Stock Launcher. I agree though, why have the bar there when all you have to do is say, ok Google, and it does waht you need. bar there or not. Hell I would be ok if it were just on one screen but, its on all of them

I'm using nova because I have the ability to use double tap to sleep, so never have to use power button unless I have or want to reboot

Custom Launcher bug in emui

I have searched about it a lot but couldn't find anything. Is there a way to fix recents app switcher animation on custom launcher. It's really annoying. Any method like using adb, etc?

I couldn't resolve with Nova but on Microsoft Launcher don't have the issue

I use gestures and have no issues with Nova.

Several times a day I had the error where swipe up gesture would get stuck showing the apps and the X and couldn't respond.
Changed to MS and don't have the issue.
I had it both with Nova as a fresh setup and restore from a backup, not sure what else to try to resolve it so changed launcher for now.

Was this the standard swipe up to open app drawer or a gesture you had assigned?

Standard swipe, only additional things I have is swipe up on folders to open certain apps so everything is based on EMUI gestures.

Strange. I use the exact same set up with no problems at all.
Do you use gestures it on screen buttons for your phones navigation?

I installed MS launcher still not fixed. I am talking about the animation when using gestures and using app switcher. It works fine on stock launcher but not on custom launcher.

gestures works fine but it's the animation when switching apps or going home.

Ah now I know what you're on about. Yes I get that sometimes, I just swipe back. It's hard to replicate and so infrequent I never put it down to just Nova even when I use Smart Launcher. I'll have to have a play then see if Kevin can't figure out the problem. Having said that in hoping to be on EMUI 10 soon. 7

Guys are you talking about something like this?
When i slide it for recent apps screen, right before showing apps preview, a plain white preview also shown.
So its seems like it flashes, not every time but mostly and its annoying. (There is video inside rar.)

Yes but also the animation of app switching. Like when you swipe for switching app, unlike in stock launcher where there is a transition to app switcher.

I think, i didnt notice the problem with swipe, but even if i disable Nova Launcher and return back Emui, i have still the problem that i mention.
Probably its not caused because of 3.party launcher at least in my case, something else causing that.

Hi guys,
I have a same Bug. I found temporary solution in dev mode. I had all animations to value "0". I changed it to 0,5 and Bug dissappear.

one ui 2.0 new Google navigation gestures not available

I updated my phone today but the option for the gesture navigation option stays grey and I can't get into the menu. I want to use this nice looking and smoothly working Google bar that I've seen in the beta one ui 2.0 Videos. Is it just for me like this or are there more people with the same problem... Really don't want to reset my phone. I already reseted my settings

It freezes right? Its still updating. After a reboots ita back to normal

Select full screen gestures (the second option of your screenshot) and go on "other options" (the button immediately under it), from here you can choose Google gestures. ?

I tried but the option stays grey and I can't select it

The more option tab stays grey, I deleted cache and restarted the phone so many time already. Don't know what it is. Before the update I had a lot of unnecessary apps disabled with adhell. After the update my multitasking window wouldn't open no matter what. After uninstalling adhell it worked again. There could be a connection but I don't know which it it

Samsung seems to of broken something there. It is good news for me for whenever my carrier updates my S10+ to Android 10 as I don't like the gesture crap at all.

On Reddit there is and adb command to get it work, but didnt on mine. I used lawnchair, but Samsung one is raster imo.

In Nova Launcher settings there's a message that the new gestures aren't supposed to work with third party launchers, cause Google implemented a barrier for this in Android 10's source code which checks if the launcher is a system.app or not. Maybe it works on rooted phone with systemized Nova.

That’s a shame... Would love to use Google-style gestures with the Rootless Pixel Launcher.

Rooting does nothing. But the new security patch allows for it to work on pixel phones, check xda news, we’ll eventually get it

Got a link? I'm on Lawnchair too.

On Nova's Discord they said that this won't happen on Nova and even with Lawn chair it doesn't work for everyone. We just can hope and wait...but I have to admit that I tried the old and the new gestures for a couple of days but switched back to the classic navbar because it's easier if using just one hand and also when the phone is mounted in my car.

I'm using Nova and it's fine

You could try following the tutorial here:

It seems to work for me, but has to be redone after a reboot...

Unfortunally it's too glitchy!

Didn't work for me, using Lawnchair here.

Update
Gestures as normal work, not the side to side feature which is annoying

Any way to use 3rd party app for gestures?

Hi!
I just upgraded to android 11. On Android 10 I used Vivid NG for gestures but because overscan has been disabled on Android 11 it's not working.
Has anyone found a way to get around it? I want to keep using gestures but I don't care for goggles side swipe too go back - it interferes too much with the apps I use

If I change to 3 button the navbar is still visible both in immersive and fullscreen. Also chrome keeps closing a few seconds after opening. I guess I'll just have to do with google's gestures for now ?
Thanks for the help anyway ?

In my thread I have a mod available via substratum to remove/hide 3 button navigation bar. You just need to have a 3rd party gestures app already setup before enabling the overlay. If you don't care to mod the pixel launcher (the purpose of my mod), then just install the apk in the second post and just build the top overlay. The last post on the thread has a picture showing what it is.

Thanks! Just tried it but I get a build error when I try to compile. If I select a grid size I can build the overlay but the overlay overview is still empty. What am I doing wrong?

I've always had issues with the regular substratum in Android 10 and have since been using Substratum Lite. That's what I recommend my users to use. Give substratum lite a try.

Question Question regarding custom launchers

Hello, I just got me a Y700 yesterday and after updating to ZUI 14, I started having a annoying bug that I was wondering if it's my update that went bad or if someone else has it too. If I try to use a custom launcher, the swipe up action to go to home or open recent apps, the default launcher's icon bar appears partially but the action doesn't work. Only happens with custom launchers, on the default one the bar appears fully and doesn't block the gesture. Does anyone else have this problem? Just asking before I do a factory reset if it's a problem only with mine. Attaching video showing the behavior. Video showing the problem

I have the global rom and I had issues with nova so I just use the stock launcher.

Yes, this tablet has issues with third party launchers -- any flavored Android ROM really starting Android 11. However the issues on this one is more pronounced since you are unable to use the swipe up to home gesture at all. Either stick to buttons or use the default launcher.

So I'm not sure if it's the rom or nova, but after flashing to the stock chinese rom, I can now use Nova launcher (beta) and it seems to function correctly.

Ahh yeah that’s worked for me for a while with alternate launchers. The gesture controls makes that floating dock come up. I wonder if we can disable it somehow or disable the entire launcher?

Ahh yeah.. makes sense. With the nav buttons, there's a fourth button for the dock on the right hand side that you can't get rid of, whether you're using the stock launcher or a custom one. Not a big deal.

They (Lenovo) probably didn't modify the stock chinese ROM too much since AOSP doesn't have problems with custom launchers, or the Nova beta launcher took care of the issues.
