Double tab for screen off not working in Nova Launcher - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to shut screen off with out the power button.

double tap on the statusbar to put it to sleep in Nova launcher. Its an extra step to unhide the statusbar if u have it set to auto hide in nova..but its easier than finding the power button.

Install Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store, assign double tap in Nova (Prime) to use that app et presto :good:

I can't get the recent apps to come up with a gesture on nova. I really want to make it so I can swipe up for recent apps

Set the gesture to a shortcut, choose Nova activities, scroll down System UI, then choose one of the two actives for recent apps. One is the old KK recents, and one is for Lollipop recents. Not sure which is which. I think the top option might be Lollipop.

There's only one thing under system ui that would have anything to do with recent and it's recent screens but it doesn't pull up recents

There's two.
Edit: didn't realize I was replying to a G4 thread... Uh, this is how it looks on my G3. Maybe LG broke something if it's no longer working on the G4.

G4 Looks like this.

That SHOULD be it. If it's not working, then it's not working, though.
I'd trouble shoot by trying that gesture on Action Launcher. It had a native "open recents" gesture that worked with the G3 without having to do this workaround that we used in Nova. If it still works in AL3, I'd message the Nova dev and point out that accessing recents on Nova with the G4 is broken. I should hopefully have a G4 this afternoon (going on my lunch). If you don't have a paid copy of AL3 to test yourself, I will if I can.

News:
Now Nova (prime of course) offers the knock off feature without any other app needed.
Look on gestures!

Simulate ctrl+tab to get Recent Apps

So I was watching this great video on youtube and I noticed at around 3:06 the guy brings up a "recent apps" menu by pressing ctrl+tab (cmd+tab) on his keyboard. Frankly I prefer this simple interface to the one that you usually get when you use the multitasking button.
Does anyone know to bring this up without using a hardware keyboard?

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's the old version of the multitasking menu from 2.x versions where you long pressed home. I believe some custom ROMs offer this option instead of the 4.x style of multitasking.

Couldn't tell you (I've not even rooted yet), but I remember for my other devices with ICS ROMs, it offered either the recent apps from 2.x or the original multitasking 4.x version.
Hopefully someone else can chime in.

Do you where in ROM Control I can find it?
I can only find the option for WebOS style recents menu.

Tried it but it only brings up the same menu that the dedicated button does.
I am looking for something similar to the picture in OP.
I'm giving this a bump in case someone knows the solution
This recent apps style is still present in ICS, it's just not the default. When some people over in the Nexus S forum were trying to reassign the hard search key to make it trigger recent apps in ICS, they were successful but their recent apps looked like the pic above (they have since fixed this "problem"). If you could find the command that triggers the above style of recent apps, you could reassign our recent apps button to it. Hope this helps.

HOW TO ENABLE PIE
1. Press and hold the power button
2. Enable "Expanded Desktop"
3. Press and drag finger up

HOW TO ENABLE PIE WITH STATUS BAR
1. Go into Settings
2. Scroll to Customization
3. Select Hybrid Properties
4. Select Interface
5. In workspace slide Nav. bar to "0%"
6. Click Apply
7. Exit to home screen
8. Press and drag finger up
WoW! I think I actually might like this!
FYI: AOKP MR3 just released a way to hide the nav bar and a quick swipe up enables the nave bar to reappear. Just like WebOS!
My problem with PIE is when I have it set to either right side or bottom (easiest to access) it cuts off half of my backspace button on my keyboard as it is reserved for swiping in and PIEing from the right or its hard to click my space bar or punctuation marks if I have it set to the bottom.
Is there anyway to avoid this? Like preferably have it set to force swiping from the bezel, rather than allowing a majority of the finger to be on the screen when swiping up. I've messed with all of the launch setting sizes to no avail.
I have the same problem with my keyboard when pie is set to the bottom. I do not know of any fix. In a few days or so there will be a new release of PA with some impressive fixes that they have done. Take a look at they're (PA) Google+ page.

What about on the right as well? I'm actually running Xenon HD on a recommendation (there's soooo many roms idk what to do with myself) so I'm not sure if the updates will run through to xenon right away :/ might have to try paranoid android then haha

Home from app drawer?

I'm new to Nova Launcher, and to be honest 3rd party launchers in general. And the only question I have so far while using Nova is that once I'm in my app drawer hitting my home button closes the app drawer and zooms me out to see all screens I have with the option of wallpaper, widget or app to add to a screen. Rather than just taking me to my homepage like the home button does from any other screen.
Is this normal? is there a way to have hitting home from the app drawer just take me to my homepage?
You can turn that off in Nova settings. Its in gesture and inputs

Thanks all, that did it. :good:
Actually, in doing that I lose the option to double tap the home button to bring up those options such as apps, widgets and wallpaper. Looking under gestures though the toggle is on that says "return to default page on first tap, action on second" but there is no thing from the second.
The only time it seems to work as the settings suggest is if you have more than 1 screen. Once I created a blank screen to the right of my default page then it worked as it should. With just one it doesn't.

This is how I have it set. Edit: it works better if you set home button to go to default page
Well my initial problem was fixed by setting the home button to the default screen. However if you have only 1 screen you then lose the ability to add screens and widgets, even if the toggle is 'on' that says double tapping the home button will still give you that option. But once you add a second blank screen that toggle switch enabling the action of double tapping the home button then works. So it has to be a bug, I just don't know if their aware of it or not because I suspect most people use more than 1 screen and have never noticed it doesn't work with 1.

Ok, let me start then. Pretty basic and clean.
Using nova launcher because I needed more customization.
Pretty simple so far, haven't really played around with much on the screen
Nova Launcher Prime, and Wallpaper Changer by XDA's @j4velin (not still around? "Last seen Jul 16, 2020" "Inactive Recognized Developer" ) to change wallpapers every time I unlock, and I can double-tap in an empty spot to manually change to the next random wallpaper (of my selected album full of them). Nova Launcher Prime Even restored data via Google in this v7. Most of my wallpapers are fantasy/sci-fi paintings by Jim Burns. I have my camera "app" set to open Google Photos if I swipe down on it, and open the camera folder if I swipe up on it to show all my camera-related apps. Similarly for "Phone", "GPS"/Google Maps, "Messaging", and "Internet". I have Nova set to lock the screen using Accessibility permissions when I swipe down with two fingers. Works great! Swipe left, I still have it go to Google Discover/News.
^like your Weawow weather widget which I use on my OnePlus devices. Still waiting on Pixel delivery to start rocking... Cheers

Question Getting rid of a home screen

Hello
I just bought my op9p, and so far we get along.
On my home page, there's a page with Goggle news and things to the left that I do not want.
Does anyone know how to get rid of it? I've looked at many settings.
It is symbolized by 3 little lines, like a menu bar, on the home screen.
Thank you

Tap and hold on home screen and when it changes tap on settings, you can disable it in the settings.

i tried that option, and I only get the options to add widgests, wallpapers, and I see a MORE button, but no settings.
I'm using another launcher for now, but there must be a way to get rid of it.
