One BUTTON Nav Freezes - Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers

Hello, any one know of a solution to get OBN to not freeze with alternate Launchers (ie: Nova)
The quick switch to previous app, freezes when using non-stock Launcher.
Yes obviously I could just use Moto Launcher, but I am a fan of Nova Launcher.
Looking at Motorola's forum, I see this is also a problem with other launchers.
Thanks.

[Q] Home screen cascade with stock launcher?

Is there anyway to enable a cascade home screen menu when you're already home and you press home again (like in HTC's Sense UI) on the stock launcher (or an alternate launcher that has a stock UI) on a rooted n1?
I'd really prefer not to run a third party launcher if at all possible.
I tried searching but only found results for fixing broken screens. :-\
Thanks for your help.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by cascade homescreen menu but I doubt what you want is possible in the stock launcher. Regardless I suggest you install something like Launcher Pro for added features but above all else, for the massive improvement in speed and smoothness. It was really a night and day difference on my phone and you can make Launcher Pro look exactly like stock. It was like buying a new phone.

Motorola widgets on 3rd party launchers??

Hi All,
I am using holo launcher hd, as it supports app hiding .
I like the moto widgets, and unfortunately, they dont seem to work on 3rd party launchers.
Is there a way around this?
If not, can i hide apps in the stock launcher?
Keeping in mind, i havent rooted my phone (and would like to keep it that way for a while).
Thanks in advance,
Unmukt

[Q] Nova launcher installed, Sense still pops up

Hi. I recently purchased the Nova launcher, and from time to time the HTC Sense launcher rears its ugly head. It usually happens if I access the settings menu and return home, and I have to launch Nova launcher manually.
I don't plan on rooting or installing a custom ROM yet, and would like to know if there is any way I can keep the HTC launcher from appearing ever?
Thank you

Hi.
You should make/choose a Nova as your default launcher.
You can do this in : Nova/Avdanced Options/Set Default Launcher.
Should work.

If you have titanium. Freeze sense.

What Launcher for my Xperia Z3?

What Launcher you suggest for my Xperia Z3 Compact ?
I don't like the normal one it's a way too big for the compact.
At the moment I use APEX launcher but the drawer does not give me all the apps I installed weird bug.
Which one you suggest me ?
I use NOVA Prime, no issues so far.
Nova Launcher is the best!!!

For completeness Solo Launcher should also be mentioned, it's prettier than Nova Launcher, though a tad slower. Personally, I use Nova Launcher Prime.
Aviate in my opinion is the best looking and smoothest! I use aviate or nova depending on my mood
I quite like Action Launcher. Has everything I need...
Nova Prime [emoji106]

I'm using it myself and love it.
No such bug for me, but you might check Apex Settings -> Drawer settings -> Hidden apps. Maybe you've hidden some apps by mistake.
I'm using Aviate, if you prefer smart launchers.

Oh hell that was the problem ! Thanks emwu for helping me out now I got the App also in my menu It was hidden by default
Lightning Launcher - I've tried them all (yeah, who hasn't!).
It's not as fancy and a bit more complicated to set up than others but seriously there is simply none that is as customisable as this one.
Features I like the most are that on the main screen you can both scroll horizontally and vertically and you can also put widgets in folders, supercustomize the app drawer, change each folders' appearance.. you name it, you can customise it all.
Links to play:
Pro version, Free version
Nokia Z Launcher ftw.
Once again... Nova Prime.
Customizable in very many ways but not bloated (love the 1/2 grid). Fast as hell. Easy on battery (there are quite a few launchers which aren't and who wants his launcher to drain battery...). Most icon themes are made for Nova. There are launchers which are laggy even on high-end devices (tried Aviate recently... lol) and use a lot of resources. I think those should be free for your apps, not your launcher.
Use it for 2 years now. From time to time I try other, also new, launchers (to watch the progress) but there is none that wouldn't make me wish to go back to Nova. Imo it's the best launcher ever.
Used to only use Nova... but for some reason have been sticking with Google Now. Seems to be the quickest, most stable, and I don't have to worry about constantly tweaking (not that you have to with Nova, but if it's possible to tweak, i'll tweak). Guess I'm just boring nowadays!

well you can tweak it with xposed + xposed gel settings then it gets much better
have always preferred apex over nova. similar, but all the features I need are in the free version, while to get the same important features for me in nova I would have to get the paid version...so why should I if I have them for free in apex?!
and actually, there were a couple of features in apex that I didn't find in nova.... not even in the paid version... apex all the life!! :good:
KK Launcher Pro, xposed and mods
Nova here, too. But I do find the phone is slightly more laggy with it. Or maybe that's some other issue.
I use Smart Launcher 2 Pro. I got tired of rows and columns of icons, so I have it set up with a circle of icons and I'll dig into the categorized drawer if I want to run anything else.

Alternate Launcher anyone, Pixel Launcher?

Has anyone got any alternative launcher working on this, I don't like the big icons filling up my home screen and the app drawer.
Thanks in advance.
I have Nova installed and running for the same reason but as soon as I try to add a widget it crashes and reverts to stock launcher
Why not try Nova Launcher it has a lot of customisation options.
First thing I did was install Nova Launcher
Nova for me and I have not experienced any crashes with widgets.
Just installed newest Version Nova Prime and Tesla Unread. Works perfect
Using Action Launcher .
originally using Action launcher using an imported layout and it kept crashing, but since resetting layout it seems stable.
worst thing about huawei phones is how they manage launchers and keep forcing their launcher on you
try also the microsoft launcher...it's amazing... used nova before but it's so cute and minimalistic. I like it.
I'm using nova (prime) and a android p theme. I had a crash when adding widgets once, but now it works fine.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a paid version of Nova but it never occurred to me to try it first. I am using it now and I like it, will give the Microsoft launcher a try also.
cheers

It seems to be Huawei specific widgets that bork Nova.
Weather Underground is fine, the Huawei Weather widget really upsets Nova, I've had to wipe the app data just to get Nova to restart
I've submitted a crash report and dump to Tesla Coil, so let's see what happens
I think for emui, you need to use third parties widgets if using nova launcher. Some of the emui widgets will cause crash....
anyone using magisk could try and flash the pixel launcher, thats what i plan to do once i get the phone
really love the pixel launcher on my 5T

Hi there, did you do anything specific to get Action Launcher to work in the first place ? i installed and it just crashes immediately when i try and run it (i've sent a bug report to AL dev team).
No not really.
I reset cache
Completely uninstalled and then reinstalled
Been stable ever since
Sorry I can't be of any more help
I have been using Nova Launcher for years but have switched to Microsoft Launcher as of recent and I have to say that I really enjoy it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
P.S Just make sure to change default search engine from Bing back to Google and desactivate Cortana

Did the same for me no matter what I tried! Using nova now which I'm more than happy with
I use Lawnchair Launcher + Lawnfeed
Nova is pretty awful on the P20 looks like I will be changing away for the first time in years. Previously had on all my phones including the Pixel 2XL.
3rd party widgets just aren't auto-updating. Another Widget, was stuck on yesterdays event, Agenda Widget doesn't display my full calendar and just says "Loading" guess it's time to find something else. Looked at Microsoft Launcher but don't like the way you can't hide the homescreen indicator taking up space at the bottom and not looking clean like I want.
Pixel Launcher works great.
