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.

Just wondering if any of you switched over to Nova or if your sticking to the stock launcher.
Ive noticed some lag with stock but I enjoy the widgets touch wiz offers.
Stock or aftermarket launcher?
I'm currently using aviate by yahoo and I like it a lot especially with the transparent setting
I pretty much switched to Nova Launcher right away. Didn't even bother playing around with the Touchwiz launcher
Nova, latest beta. Looking good.
I'm using TW with no issues at all.
nova all the time.

As soon as I got all my apps installed, switched to Google Experience.
This is clearly a question - it belongs in Q&A, moved. Please post in the correct sections.
Thanks.

That's the Google Now Launcher? I use a lot of different lauchers in my Note2 but Go Launcher is the one I have the most setup due to the extensive customizability-gestures-3D effects but it wasn't as impressive when I quickly installed in on a Note4 in Best Buy perhaps because I hadn't customized it yet but I also like the Google Now Launcher & Nova & Themer.
I generally immediately get rid of TW but it wasn't as bad in the Note4 but still not ultra smooth or interesting as the other lauchers. I really like the ability to change launchers which is another reason Android is & the next time I play with a Note4 I'll go through more launchers as it could definitely look cooler & be more functional.:good:
I switched to Nova Launcher beta instantly. TouchWiz isn't bad, but I can't stand the grid spacing as I like to keep a few widgets and apps on my main home screen.
I've already switched to Nova, phone should be here Friday. ??

Agree grid of icons gets old fast like lame iOS & I also try to keep icons to a minimum (Go Launcher lets you program 5 base hideable icons to launch additional apps with gestures like swipe up as well as scroll swipe across to another 5 icons & another 5 icons (5x3=15 x 2 including the programmable gestures upon a long press menu = 30 apps-shortcuts-functions) & I use a lot of widgets so I don't even have to click icons to access some data. I don't think non-Prime Nova lets you customize as much as Go Launcher but there are more & more cool launchers being developed & still setting up other launchers I previously mentioned.
Switched to Nova pretty much immediately. As mentioned above I can't stand the spacing between icons. Also I need gesture support, especially with such a large phone. Why that still hasn't been built into the touchwiz launcher I'll never know.
First thing I did was install the ADW launcher. I've been a fan for a long time.
What launcher are you using on your OP6T ?
and what do you think of the oneplus launcher ?
I usually use Nova Prime, or Action Launcher Plus, but I'm actually really liking the OnePlus launcher.
I'm using Nova. If the default launcher had more grid options and didn't chop off long app names I would use it plus with Nova companion I can get the Google feed by swiping right.
Lawnchair v2.
But nova doesn't work properly on my T-Mobile oneplus 6t it laggs and sometimes i have to press icon twice to respond
This launcher would be perfect with google feeds, but I'm substituting it with google news until an implementation comes.
I use nova, pixel like launcher, but since the last version of navigation gesture, I have to use Oneplus launcher...i love this, but google feed misses me a lot ...and also the search bar at the bottom
Happy with stock, coming from pixel myself
I always use Nova - have done for years. But today I decided, "Screw it" and factory reset the phone and I'm trying it au naturel. Sure the OnePlus launcher is way behind Nova in terms of features, but I'm not particularly missing anything.
Usually use the Google Now launcher but the stock one on T-Mobile is pretty much that at this point.
I've been using lawnchair. It's been around a while, also opensource, on the play store, and has all of the customisations you might want.
Nova launcher, I tried the op launcher in the beginning but I like nova more. Way more features and options
I started off using Oneplus's launcher, and then a realized I can't re-arrange home screens. That and the spacing of apps icons was terrible. So I switched back to Nova

It's in "alpha" status, but is very stable. The only real bug I've had is sometimes it locks up when changing the wallpaper and doesn't reload after changing it. (50/50). In that case the quickest thing is to reboot. It takes no time at all. Sometimes if you wait a minute it will load anyways, but like I said, it's just quicker to reboot.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/deletescape/lawnchair/
Latest version was built about a month ago (Oct 18th). Comes with all of the Google feed goodness built in.
I would like to use CPL but I'm noticing that third party launchers don't use the close animation that the OnePlus Launcher uses which is smoother. Third party launchers just close screens with the drop down animation (which is the worst animation ever) but the OnePlus Launcher uses the same animation the Pixel launcher on the Pixel devices uses which looks much nicer. This forces me to use the OnePlus Launcher even though I would much rather use something with more options -- in particular CPL.
I use nova and it's works flawless,very snappy and smooth

The Google feed is there in stock Launcher. Unless I'm misunderstanding you.
Not on mine, I can't use magisk module because I have the latest version of OnePlus launcher one OnePlus 6 that is not compatible with this.

On my Pixel 5 the behaviour with third party launchers (tried Nova and Microsoft) is terrible. If I swipe up to go home then often the launcher has to seemingly redraw/refresh before I can do anything. If I use three button nav there is no issue. It's annoying as I hate being stuck with the search bar and 'at a glance' weather in the standard launcher, but much prefer gesture nav.
Is this a common thing or anyone got any ideas to fix?

You are welcome to try this if all you want is "at a glance weather" and search bar gone on standard launcher. However, you cannot use the space vacated by the weather. This is as high as you can go.
If you root your device, I'd suggest using the 3 button navigation, then remove it using Tusladiver's mod and then using FNG navigation, its customizable and a lot better then google's implementation I think.
Using Nova launcher, I noticed if I chose another animation, under "Look and feel", then "app animation" the blank refresh went away. I just chose zoom.
EDIT: It started again. But, not as much

Clock Mods - Remove Navbar or Battery etc. Mods
I don't have this phone but I thought I'd try a couple of clock options if someone is interested in trying them. Root required. Flash in magisk manager. Most of these are SystemUI mods and might not be compatible with any other SystemUI Mods...

I love microsoft launcher. I had the same issue with the redraw. I set it to only a single row on the nav bar and it seems to have to figure it. It's almost like the launcher was fighting with the OS for swipe up control.
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!

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

Is it OP launcher or Android 12 issue that calendar icon only displays 31 rather than the actual date. I tried different icon packs but no go. If I am not mistaken, I had this feature on my OnePlus 7 Pro on android 11. I understand this feature works with 3rd party launchers but was curious to know any fix to make this feature work with the default launcher. Thanks
Install Google calendar
Google calendar is the default calendar on this device. I did further research and it appears to be a known issue with this device. Hopefully, next iteration of firmware might fix it. It's a step backwards imo. Not a big deal but annoying for sure.

I have the same issue as well but others report no issues with stock/system launcher. Dynamic Calendar icon works fine with 3rd party launchers like Nova, Action Launcher, etc. I am hoping NOVA will come up with a way to smooth the gesture hiccups. Action Launcher recent update did make the gestures much smoother (although not perfect). So there is a hope
I use business calendar for work, has a tonne of options, think there's a free version, widget looks better then Google calendar too.
I think if it's to be a dynamic icon, wouldn't that essentially be a widget.
Think I've been under a rock. Haven't noticed dynamic icons before
Edit: I've never noticed that lol. Just spotted it now

Hi all, One of the things that was missing for me was the center clock. The void in the middle needed to be filled so here you have a module to place the clock smack in the middle, it's not off center like previous mods, this one is as it...
