Nova Launcher bug on Android Pie - Honor Play Questions & Answers

Just updated my device (COR-L29) to EMUI 9 (9.0.0.156). When using Nova Launcher, swiping up to return home (gesture navigation) first opens the recent tasks screen, moves it one app to the right, then goes to the home screen. On EMUI 8, swiping up returns to the home screen immediately.
The default launcher works without a problem, but its interface is significantly more cluttered than Nova so I'm hoping that I could keep it.
Does anyone know how to restore the swipe up gesture to directly go back to the home screen?

Default Huawei Launcher

Hello,
Does anybody have or know how can i install the default huawei launcher that comes with this tablet into a huawei phone? What is the launcher name?
I saw some pictures, and when it is in landscape mode you have a big clock on the top left corner and some nice black buttons at the bottom with shortcuts to some apps (i think).
thanks in advance.
If you had the original Android 2.1 firmware, the only way to do this was to side load a launcher and then remove or freeze the Huawei launcher.
This was fixed in Android 2.2, where you can use any launcher you want.
I'm currently using Legacy Launcher because it lets me up the font sizes...

Launcher that allows Portrait hub layout without screen transitions

I'm looking for a portrait "hub" layout of sorts for my nexus 7.
I've been reading through XDA and other forums for the past few days checking out the different tablets and homescreens.
I have found some fantastic ideas from others, but they all use either ADW EX Launcher or Launcher Pro Plus.
Launcher Pro Plus doesn't play very nicely with Jelly Bean.
ADW EX works decently, but I cannot get the show/hide status bar to remove the top bar on ADW unless I take my DPI back to 160dpi to kick my notifications bar to the bottom of the screen.
I don't like the tablet UI b/c I use my device 99% of the time in portrait mode.
Unfortunately this makes neither LPP or ADWEX viable options for me.
Is there a launcher that allows to 100% disable transitions and you can jump to page 'X' without seeing any of the other screens, the same ADW and LPP do?
Thank you in advance! Any and ALL help is GREATLY appreciated.
I read that twice and I still have no clue what you are talking about. Maybe you can post a video.

Could you please guide me to where I might find those settings?

I guess I am aware I can Set the screen transition to none, but that still shows the screen as I move from one screen to another. I am hoping I can click directly on a shortcut that will take me to the desired screen (jump to screen x) without any other transition showing. Instead I see the other screens pass by even when clicking on jump to screen.
Does that make sense?

Blue shade in recent apps?

Anyone else notice that when viewing the recent apps the screen takes a blue shade?
These screens are in the recents screen and the home screen.
Bug with 3rd party launcher. Don't even try to use split screen, you will have to restart launcher.

You can uninstall huawei Launcher (if you have another one) it solves the problem.

Looks like the latest update has fixed the blue shade in 3/4 times LOL but the split window is still a mess. I use Nova launcher anyone found one that works that is NOT the pre-installed home?
I use square home launcher and it works well.
I have the old multitask screen but, it's not a problem for me.
I've uninstalled huawei launcher.

Third party launchers not working?

So I've tried both Nova and Lawnchair launchers on my Pixel 5, and both have the same issue, when swiping up to go back Home, it resets back to the default Pixel launcher.
I looked in settings for both launchers, as to why it's doing that, but can't find why?
Is this a known issue, that launchers don't work on Android 11?
I use nova and have found that if I set default to nova and the then go back to the settings/apps/pixel Launcher and force close it, it keeps it from happening. Also when I'm in there I disable all notifications and permissions as well.

I'm on the November security update of Android 11 and I've had zero issues with Nova launcher.
Still no issues with Nova here.

How are you setting the launcher as the main launcher?
Go to the main settings, apps, default apps. Set the home launcher you want here. Sticks everytime for me.
No issues with Nova here. I do use 3 buttons navigation instead of gesture navigation, but i've just switched it and tested, "home" swipe works fine and opens Nova.
Make sure you've set it as default launcher.
I absolutely set Nova as Home launcher in the App - Default -Settings, and when I swipe up from home gesture it resorts back to the standard Pixel launcher.
Just tried to reproduce again. Set the system yo "gestures" control. Fired up a "google keep". Did a "home" swipe (from the bottom edge up, without holding at the end). Got Nova!

Manually start Nova. Don't play with anything else. Go into Nova Launcher settings. From there you can set Nova as the default launcher. No issues, it will stick.
I had a bit of weirdness setting the default launcher from Android settings, and if I recall correctly, from my 4 XL as well.
I would venture a guess that's why the Nova folks put that setting in their application.

Nova Launcher / exit app homescreen bug

I'm not a fan of having huge app icons so I've made Nova my default launcher. very occasionally, maybe 5 or 6 times in the 5 days of having this phone hitting the back key to leave an app or settings has taken me to a homescreen that wasn't mine.
it features apps that I've definitely installed and looks to be the example of how my wallpaper will look in settings / wallpaper.
it's no biggie but it is weird, wondering if anyone else had this ?

ota updated to 11... not rooted yet

			
				
Yes I have the same issue. Than when i go to Nova settings the radio buttons on default launcher are both cleared (Nova & One UI). Seems like a bug. I am using as well Nova Google Discovery Companion. It's crashing from time to time and than I lose Google Discovery feed. The only workaround i find to work i to reinstall companion app.
there's also this weird bug where an icon in the draw at the top vanishes but it's space is there and you can click and open it.
still had to delete and reinstall it to bring the icon back.
Anyone else having problems with "Home" setting?
