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

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:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...ova-launcher-and-other-third-party-launchers/
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

How they work?

Recent Apps (square) button not working AFTER upgrading to EMUI 10

Hello
My "Recent Apps" button isn't working so I'm unable to use it in order to cycle through the apps I have open.
Cant do it also with nav button or gestures.
This happened after upgrading to EMUI 10 yesterday.
Long press on square button works.
I am using NOVA louncher.
(I also uninstalled default louncher few mounths ago through ADB shell. And after update to emui 10 there is just NOVA louncher.)
Any idea?

Yes, use stock launcher.

Can't use it on other launchers. See my post here on how to reinstall through ADB Huawei launcher

Had the same problem, the only solution for me was to reset the phone

So basically you can't use 3rd party launcher if you want to have access to Recent Apps?
Is there no way around this. I don't want stock EMUI 10. But I really want Recent Apps.....
God damn Hauwei.

Recent apps works fine with other launchers, probably if you disable the stock huawei launcher it causes problems, but if you leave that alone and just set a 3rd party as default it works fine

You can't with Chinese EMUI installed. There's no option for another launcher - you have to remove it.

Question Default Home Launcher Bug

Is anyone experiencing an issue where the default home launcher reverts to One Ui for no reason?
Also google discover being inconsistent in third party launchers?

Yep. Mine would even switch back after setting my default launcher to my custom one... But with that said, I also had so many other problems with every custom launcher that I had tried....so I just stuck with the stock, OneUI launcher (and I love Google News, so that's a good thing for me lol).

Yea I really like Google discover, but hate the sideways scrolling on One UI menu. Currently my work around is Nova with a button for google

Ahh, gotcha. But wait, doesn't just about every launcher scroll sideways between pages and then allow you to swipe up to view all apps?

Yea but they all either a) keep reverting to One UI for no reason, or the discover page stops working until you restart the phone

and when I want add remove home page/widget by using gestures,

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.
