3 Small Screen after pushing home button

Hello, My wife's phone is all of a sudden showing 3 small screens after the home button is pushed. They are the home screen and her other two screens. She is using ADW Launcher. They way she wants it to be is press home button and it goes to home screen. That's the way it used to do. Thanks for the help.

Change what the home button does in ADW Launcher settings
If that option is not there, because it has not been updated for years, install Nova Launcher instead, much better

ADW has been updated, but I can't see where to change what the home button does. Any help?
Thanks

Last update for ADW was 2013

You can't say 'ADW Aside' when ADW is the problem
If there is no setting in ADW settings to change what the home button does, you are stuck with it unless you change the launcher
Those 4 little screens you are seeing, are all the homescreens set up in ADW, when you swipe left or right, each one of those screens is one of the swipe pages

Pixelfying 3T

So I have managed to install SR4 and get Xposed/Gravity Box going. I have installed the AndroidN-ify Module and get Google Assistant going and have installed Pixel Launcher. Only problem is that the long press on icons does not pop up the menus. Now is this something that is only part of N or is it part of the Launcher? Also Google Now Cards do not pop up when I swipe home screen.
Thanks for any help.

I believe it's system integration, nova however have it included as you can see in my screenshot. Did you download the apk or flash it? I found flashing the launcher gave me the swipe to Google.

Forgot

I installed all. 7.1.1
Hmm maybe try and flash it. Dilemma is I like both the swipe and the long press. So it would seem that I have a choice to make. Oh and how do you enable the long press function in Nova?
I am having trouble getting Google Assistant unlock the screen but if screen is on it works fine.

It's the nova beta
This is my finished setup pixel my way haha.
This is my Z3+ pick up my 3T later today :victory:

Just like official n not all apps support it yet. XDA labs recently updated to support it. Even the usual Google apps still haven't implemented it

OK so you and @ram4ufriends are confusing me.
Yes I have Nova Beta, Nova Prime as well and XDA Labs. But when I press on icons do not get mini menus.

How did you guys get the new google pixel persistent search bar uptop on nova launcher? I thought that was a pixel launcher exclusive? Also, if you have the widget, can you change it to display weather rather than just the date like on the pixel?

Nova has it as a widget and you can chose whether you want date or weather

Oreo - widgets don't work on 3rd party Launchers

I just updated to Oreo, and I noticed that Huawei widgets don't work on any 3rd party launcher. "App not installed" pops up whenever I try to use them. Is there a solution for this?

The Huawei clock didn't work on Nougat as well.
The Huawei Health widget works for me on Nova and MS Launcher.

I posted the problem with widgets in another thread. I think there is some aggressive power saving going on. I downgraded to Nougat and my phone is good again.

Attached is what Nova Launcher and Huawei told me thru email. Meh.

You can make the lock screen work by adding Nova Action -> Lock Screen. Then go to Nova Settings -> Advanced -> Screen Lock Method (it's at the bottom). Chose Timeout and follow the instructions to enable it.

I don't like any of Nova Launcher's screen lock methods for unrooted phones. So I'm asking for help on how to enable P10's screen lock widget on 3rd party launchers.

I rooted my phone and disabled huawei widgets. No solution found.

This is really annoying! After Oreo update I can´t use the screen lock widget with nova launcher, but it´s working fine with emui launcher.

Does this phone only work well with stock launcher?

Hey guy's I've purchased this phone today and I was curious if this phone only plays ball with its own stock pixel launcher, I ask because I'm using nova launcher and when I lock the phone and unlock it again there seems to be a black screen for about a second before it goes to the home screen and also double tap to sleep gestures don't work smoothly
Can anyone shed some light on this for me please and sorry if it is a noob question ?

I've used Lawnchair on my Pixel 4 XL and it ran smoothly for me, none of the issues you mentioned.

I've been using Nova from the get-go and no issues like you've described. Have you looked thru all of Nova's settings? Nothing to do with Transitions? What about trying to change the phone's animations all to 0.5x?

I love the animations on 1.0 lol I'm just gonna try a different launcher and hope the problem disappears

I too have been using Nova since October and never had any lag issues.

It's not lag per se it's more clunky animations plus I hate that you can't use gestures with another launcher hopefully this gets fixed in Android 11 I love the swipe right from the bottom to switch between recent apps

Google made it possible for 3rd party launchers to work correctly with Android 10's gestures. I am using Action Launcher atm and the bottom right swipe works correctly along the test of the gestures.

Guys, only the pixel launcher fully works with gestures nav on the pixel 4... yes 3rd party launchers kind of work but they are not fully working and glitchy. That's why there even is a magisk module called quickswitch that make lawnchair fully working with the gestures and animations.
Hope that helps...

I think if I've learned anything from these threads... it is that there is no consensus for this topic. My opinion is that Nova is working fine. This opinion conflicts with what feels like half of other opinions.
I think anyone making/reading these threads will need to try it for themselves and form their own opinion.

The only thing in Action Launcher that doesn't work is the apps at the bottom of recents. Everything else works just like pixel launcher. Gestures, animations, copy/share any text on the recents/overview screen. It does everything that the quickstep/quickswitch module can do without it.

I use Nova with all the gestures and animations with no problems, either.

Question Nova launcher

Hello!
I just recently got my OnePlus 10 (exchanged for S22U) and couldn't find any answer to it:
If I choose number or dot for notifications, it will only appear a dot and if I choose only number, no notification will appear on the app icon at all.
Nova Launcher is unusable, and I don't want only dot on the icon. For my workflow, I need to see the number on the icon.
Can you help me please?
Well thank you

Why is Nova Launcher unusable?

on android 12 is there a glitch when opening a home right?

I don't know what you talk about, sorry.

Since android 12 there is a problem with Nova launcher. Do you use another launcher?

No problems using Nova prime launcher with android 12!
Cheers

Thanks for you reply,
do you use gestures or 3 buttons? The problem should only be when using gestures.

its a bug reported from months in all phones under A12....change launcher makes glitches with native gestures.the only solution is to be root and flash quick swich or a modded launcher frrom magisk

I know. The whole discussion on this arose because people told me that their Nova launcher is working properly
Thank you

Nova ftw

When I switch between home and recents, especially when closing an app or moving from one app to the homescreen, you get a little pop up of the most recent recent app flash up, it's not the end of the world but it's annoying.
I'm using lawn chair but noticed the same with pixel rootless, not sure what other launchers exhibit this issue, maybe it's just oos11 being a bit crap
