I am having an issue when I hit the home button, my home screen wallpaper shifts back and forth. Almost like it spazzes out for a sec. From then on, if i am on the home screen, I hit the home button it does the same thing. Sometimes shifts the wallpaper to the right or left, so the remaining half is black, or it will zoom in on the wallpaper.
It doesn't seem to matter if i am using a stock wallpaper or custom. I do not have that many apps installed. All of them are apps that I have used before. This is the odd-er part, A hard reset will stop this issue for couple of days. It then starts ups again. Nothing else will even temporarily solve this except for the factory wipe. I can kill all the running apps, uninstall all downloaded apps, sketchy wallpaper still present. The other issue Ive noticed related to this is when I am in the gallery or quickpic menu, the menu itself is very "glitchy"
I am stock and not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Simple solution.. Root it =0)~. I haven't seen the issue (been rooted since i got phone) My best guess would be to restore (Odin) to factory.
Mine does it as well and I am rooted. I don't know what it is and only happens when it wants and does not do it every time. I noticed it a few days ago when I pressed the home button or unlocking the phone, the wallpaper jumps a little in one direction and then another and stops. Weird, haven't really looked into it as it really isn't a big deal.

Even after I restore to factory, the issue still comes back. Thanks for the feedback.

No worries.. I don't know Tbh.. I've been rooted on the peoples rom since day one lol.
Wallpaper Wizardrii appears to be the culprit. Added apps one by one until the problem came back. Uninstalled wizardrii, problem has stopped. Too bad because I liked the app.

I thought that was the problem as well, never individually tried them. Really liked that app too.

I've been a longtime iPhone user, and got my feet wet a few months back with my first Android device, a Samsung Galaxy S3. I immediately rooted it, and tried CM 10.1, but I was in over my head, and I hadn't even used my phone enough to know what I wanted to do with it, so I went back to stock.
However, I've run into a few issues with Samsung's stock 4.1.1 ROM, and there doesn't appear to be any definitive answer to if and when they'll update to 4.1.2 or 4.2.x. So I decided to revisit Cyanogenmod.
I installed CM 10.1 (cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M2) last night, and I'm making my way around the system, learning a few things here and there, but I've run across two possible issues. I don't know if it's a bug, or if I'm just doing something wrong:
1. I can't seem to add the camera to the lockscreen as a slider shortcut. In the settings, it gets added just fine, I can see it there, and it saves. But when I go to actually use the slider shortcuts on the lockscreen, the camera isn't there. It doesn't matter which position it's in, either. There's just a blank spot where the camera shortcut should be.
2. The battery light -- I can change the color easily enough, but the option for pulse length is greyed out, and the option for pulse speed doesn't seem to save. When I tap "Test", it works, but once I tap "ok", it goes back to "custom", which seems to be a steady color, no blinking. Again, is this a bug, or just something that I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
The lock screen shortcuts I think you have to save before you exit that screen. There will be a floppy disk looking thing you need to press before backing out. I dunno about the notification pulse, it should be set once you've put in the value you want. Unless the ROM just doesn't actually have that functionality.

Ok, I just double-checked to make sure that I did, in fact, tap that save button. I did, but it's still not showing up. I tried blanking it out, saving it, and re-adding the camera and saving it, but it still won't show up.
One other "issue" that I just remembered, too... is there any way to get a counter of unread emails on the email icon, like the standard ROM does?
D'oh. You don't need to set the camera app to your luck screen shortcuts because all you have to do is swipe to the left from the right most border of your lock screen and it goes to the camera app.
I don't think there's an unread counter function in cm, but you can try googling it. I know nova launcher has that, but I've never seen anything like that for trebuchet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Oh, I see that now.
Anyway, it seems to work after I reloaded CM 10.1. Originally, I was using TitaniumBackup to restore all system and app data from my stock Samsung 4.1.1 ROM, which I believe was causing problems (email was crashing constantly, for example). Once I restored only the non-system apps/data, everything seems to work as advertised (except for the counter badges, which seems to be limitation of Trebuchet).
Now that that's solved, I have another question....
When I go to make a photo a wallpaper image, I get a weird "plus" shaped resizer, which prevents me from using the whole image as a wallpaper. See the attached image. Is there any way to discard the side pieces, and just resize the wallpaper for a single screen?
A very strange thing happens to me today.
My Pixel XL 128 (never rooted, with bootloader locked and running the lastest official Oreo) suffered a soft reboot when I clicked a YouTube link in the notification shade. After that, I ended up with home and recent buttons, not performing their actions. They still vibrated and the Home button kept the animation. The status bar did not showed notifications, even when they arrived (notification sounds continue to ring), and notification shade pulldown stops working. No mobile network either.
Has anyone else faced this thing?
I had to factory reset (through settings) to use my phone again.
The exact same thing happened to me today. I too am not rooted, all oem, 128gb too, have phone since January, upgraded to oreo several days ago.
Today, I was about to open an email from the notification shade, then the phone rebooted itself on its own, now after the reboot I am limited and can only use the back button. Home and Recents buttons are registering my touch (they both vibrate when I press them) but they don't do their jobs. And what's also strange is that before this happening I had 'vibrate on touch' off. Furthermore, I also can't bring down the notification shade past the first step where it shows the quick settings icons,and notifications no longer show up in the notification shade - it's always clear at the top. When I go into settings>developer options, it says 'this user has no developer options (something like that).
I went to Google's support chat via phone and they couldn't help me either, the same behavior in safe mode, only back button works. I asked support if they could help me troubleshoot the problem without having to do a factory reset and they ended up going down that street and said it's the only thing they could recommend to do.
Any recommendations?
Yep same thing has happened with me as well. I didn't factory reset but I did have to do a reboot for my buttons to work again. Also I get a lot of reboots when I'm using PiP for about 5 mins.

Exact same symptoms for me on a Nexus 6P with Oreo.
Same happened to me. Stock Pixel XL, 128GB, Oreo. Even applied the latest September update but no dice.
Do the "Nova Launcher" fix.
1. Install Nova Launcer. nb. Play Store not installing anything for me, so downloaded the apk with Chrome (google for Nova Launcher.apk).
2. Allowed from unknown Sources
3. Opened Nova from App drawer (or can set as default launcher).
4. Hold down on empty space -> Widgets -> scroll the bar across to Activities. Hold down and drag onto home screen somewhere.
5. Scroll down to Setup Wizard and hold down on "SetupWizardUpgradeActivity".
6. Complete the setup options and candy!

Interesting. That's fixed the UI issues in their entirety, and Developer Options are now available again too. And apps are once again downloading and installing/updating from Google Play. I wonder what on Earth got wedged and how? Bizarre.
Thanks again.
I got the same with my stock XL 128 seemed to just happen for no reason, after messing around with none of the bottom buttons working the square changed to two rectangles on top of each other as the screen went split screen again for no reason after that I could press the "recent" now split screen button to get the options up to select what I wanted on the second half of the screen when I canceled out of that everything was normal.
seems to be a problem with the picture in picture or the split screen, I don't know how I got into it or out of it but just messing around eventually did it for me. it did have me worried at first as at the time I was in google maps and couldn't get out or even use google maps, the bottom buttons reacted as if they worked but ultimately did nothing until the recent button changed.

Apparently it thinks initial setup is running (or maybe it is in background). During setup it stops you from pressing home, or switching apps, or doing anything of significance. I guess running the setup to completion clears that flag.

Same here: Needed reboot to get "recent apps" button working (although it did "light up" when i used it).
THANK YOU!
I've had a lot of Google phones issues lately and woke up to this and was getting ready to be annoyed all day. Super easy fix as I run Nova Full anyway!

You my friend are amazing. Google were absolutely useless, this fixed the problem and introduced me to Nova, double bonus
Thank you - Just the solution that I was looking for.
Thank you! I registered at xdadevelopers just to say that. I too did not want to do a factory reset and the change User to Guest option was not available. I also tried the enable screen lock to Pattern and rebooted.
Going to Nova Launcher and following your instructions to a T fixed the issue.
Grateful for your effort and time.

Hi, I've tried downloading Nova and Nova Prime, so desperate with this issue, I paid for it. Of course, it won't download, when I hit install, I get "install pending" or "downloading" this is going on for 4 days now. Please help!!!!
had my screen freeze again today with it being non responsive, it seems to be every time I leave chrome open and chuck it in my pocket, forcing the phone off and turning it back on fixed the problem this time, no clue what is going on with it as it only seems to happen with chrome.
You need to download the apk file through chrome, not through the google play store.
I have to say, thank you for posting that solution! I had this exact thing happen to my phone today, no idea why, but it sure was annoying!
All the same stuff happened to my Pixel XL original. Even lost "ok Google" spoken activation of assistant, and the night light failed to operate even though turned on in settings. Followed Google's advise and did the factory reset. Worked for about 3 days then bang, soft rebooted on its own while switching apps, and then all problems returned. Had the phone for just 6 months so Verizon sent me a replacement. Will see if it holds up. I told Verizon that if it fails again I want a Pixel 2!!!
Hi,
Does anyone has this issue that after December security update Pixel launcher kept crashing and stop responding?
Thanks!
Just installed. Not happening to me
Edit: i'm seeing a lot of people reporting this issue, did u get a workaround?
Yes. the pop up "Pixel launcher keeps stopping" appears, eve rebooting the phone in safe mode.(Pixel 2 XL)
Saw a bunch of reports about this. Clean flash or factory reset fixes it.
Helpful hint... When the toast message pops up, hit app info. Tap the 3 dot menu and hit uninstall updates. That fixed it for me.
You have to be quick with the fingers, though. It's kind of like playing Whack-a-Mole.
Happened to me, this happens because of gesture navigation i guess went to settings changed navigatio. To 3 button and crash disappears didnt try to revert back to gesture system
Edit: reverted back to gesture system, crashes returns, so did like what @omniatic said above and it works now, also to mention i remember before i installed a modded pixel launcher apk which enables pixel 4 swipe down to show notification settings but now in dec. update it already brings this feature
I couldn't get to uninstall update that fast...and message persist in safe mode.
I ended up factory reset the device and issue was gone.
Sort of disappointed, but finally rescue the phone.

I did update yesterday and so far I don't have any problems. Hope it stays that way. BTW Google finally added swipe down to open notifications. ??

Thanks man! Saved my day.
I updated my OnePlus 9 Pro(LE2121_11_F.16) to Oxygen OS 13.0. But after the update, my home and recent apps gesture completely stopped working. I've rebooted the phone multiple times. I've also updated all my apps. I've cleared data for the apps - System Launcher, Gesture_motion Services and Gesture&motions. But none of it worked.

Have you solved it? I also encountered the same thing. Home and recent apps (gesture/button) as well as Setting button on notification bar are not working.

It was solved as the 2nd answer. Factory reset and everything works. Had to do the same, and no issues since.

Thanks for your reply. Factory reset isn't always ideal. Really hope there is any other solution.
I had this on the second day of upgrade. Before that I had edited the quick settings tiles and frozen some OOS bloatware using Titanium. After clearing cache and rebooting multiple times, I tried undoing all the changes (restored the tiles to the initial state and thawed all the bloatware). Nothing happened immediately, but after an hour or so it was fixed, I don't know how. Maybe just coincidence. Anyway mentioned it here in case it works for you.

likewise, I think its because we edited the tiles as I clearly remember I just did that and the next day it stopped working the notification settings icon, back and recent apps. So if we factory reset and edit the tiles again will it reappear (the issue)?
I had the same issue but mine happened after finishing the setup. I lost internet at my house an couldn't compete the setup it said it needed wifi. So I went on with my day and that night I finished it and had this issue. After that I couldn't fix it. I had to do a factory reset and then everythings been working fine. I think it's an issue with the upgrade.
May 2023. OnePlus 8T f16 update.. it's still happening. Anyway to get it to work without factory reset? Ive tried Nova launcher trick, clearing settings, clearing data from apps for gestures launcher etc, reboots, reverting the tiles. Any other methods to make it work?
Hi,
I have the same issue with my OP9, but strangely enough, it only happens with third-party launchers. When on the system launcher, everything's peachy, but if I use another launcher as default (regardless of what it is, Nova, Microsoft, Lean, you name it), the Home button starts acting out again.
I can tap the Overview button, or the Back button, though, and with a third-party launcher, Gesture Navigation will work OK, more or less.
Maybe OP/Oppo don't like us using third-party launchers after all...
There's a new system update based on Oxygen OS 13.1 (LE2115_13.1.0.5..(EX1)) that seems to have solved the problem somehow.
Security Update dates back to April 2023, though...
EDIT: using Hyperion Launcher, the issue is still there and seems to occur when you are two levels or more deep in an app. For example, if you open the Play Store app, go to your apps and try to update them, you can close the app with the Home button. However, if you open Settings and dive down into the various menus more than three times, the Home button stops working.
