I am personally not that taken with the Nextbit Robin native launcher, and have decided to go with Nova Launcher instead.
If you want to see the basic cloud functions of the phone and what still works on Nova take a look at the article on my blog here which includes a youtube video walkthrough:

Just so you know, you can pin apps and unpin apps very easily in Nova. While in the stock launcher, you can enable debug settings in the Smart Storage by tapping on the version. Then enable Smart Storage in Launcher. Then when you switch back to Nova, when you want to pin an app, go to the Smart Storage app and select Pin Apps in the menu. Profit.

Hi,
I have one Problem with Apex Launcher / Nova Launcher on AOKP 37.
Everytime if I install some Market Apps there are automatically shortcuts on my homescreen.
How can i disable this?
Thanks
It's not just Apex, it's every launcher. Go into your Google Play app, hit the menu button, then click settings. You should see an option there that says Auto-add shortcuts. Uncheck that, and you're golden.
Big thanks dude
When certain things happen like when i close an app while its loading or smt like that my app drawer shrinks and icons not fitting the whole page and i can see the next and previous pages app icons a bit. I have to force stop the launcher in order to fix it but is there any other solutions ?
try to clear the cache or restart the phone, if that doesn't work you can still use another launcher like Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher..

Since they dont feature the double tap to sleep i am not interested in them. But thanks for the advice
Nova launcher actually has a "double tap to sleep" feature under gestures-> double tap you can set "lock screen" which will do the same as LGs launcher

Hi, you need to add nova launcher and tesla to automatic app launch at advanced options from apps.
Hello,
This is a known issue on several brands of devices and you can try this to see if it helps fix the issue.
Fix For OnePlus:
System Settings -> Battery -> Menu -> Aggressive Doze & App Hibernation(Turn these off completely)
Also under that menu High Power Usage Apps, if Nova Launcher/TeslaUnread show here, disabled them
System Settings -> Advanced -> Recent App Management -> Normal Clear should be set, not Deep Clear
Once you have that set, it should work properly and stop turning itself off. However, if you're not using a Samsung device then it's probably something very similar that you need to do. If you can't find anything similar then you will need to contact the manufacturer of your device.

I find the solution for my self for this issue, i also been frustrated with this issue in Oxygen OS 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 both. So what i did...
Follow the below steps....
Take your Nova Launcher settings "backup" from Nova Launcher settings.
1. Uninstall Nova Launcher prime
2. Uninstall Nova Launcher (I am Using beta, if you are not using beta it's oksy...just remove the nova Launcher)
3. Unistall Tesla app
4. Install Nova Launcher Prime
5. Install Nova Launcher
enable all the permission (do not open)
6. Install Tesla app
Enable all the permission including Notification Access permission also.
7. Open Nova Launcher and select your backup
8. Open "count and read" option in Nova Launcher and enable and disable that toggle for 5-6 time, at last just enable that
Bingo, it was worked fine for me.
Hope it will work with you also.
Oneplus3, fan boy ?
Hey all, I have a bit of a conundrum. Today I was digging through some hidden activities with activity manager, and I noticed that several functions from the g4 and g5 are found in the settings activities (for example, the smart cover, notification LEDs, and a few others). Activating most of them provide no effect, as I'm assuming they were disabled from use. However, looking in the LG home 4.0, I saw an activity called smart bulletin. And for those who don't know, it's the equivalent of the Google now page for LG apps. However, I cannot access any of the features, but it does appear on the home screen. Is there a method for enabling the use of this( perhaps through all sideloading or other means)? Also, as far as some of these hidden features go, is there any way to activate those? I have the k425 on 7.0 nougat.

Download Nova launcher and add an activities widget, when the screen to select activity appears, expand the selections for homescreen and long press on smart bulletin, when it's launched, activate it and then you can close Nova launcher. You don't have to select Nova as default homescreen though.

I didn't have to use nice to activate it; as a I mentioned earlier, I use activity launcher instead. It's activated, and it appears, but there's no options for it. It's as though LG simply removed the apps to make the feature work, and didn't fully remove this feature
Is there any way to enabled gesture on nova launcher? It's automatically switch to Poco launcher when I'm using gestures on nova launcher.. My Old phone don't have this problem... Is this MIUI 14 new problem?
It's been a few years since Xiaomi blocked this functionality with third-party launchers by integrating its launcher into the system.
try to use:
fluid navigation gestures or
Gesture navigation - Android Apps on Google Play
Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
play.google.com
Work's fine on my device.
I use Nova launcher with gesture on my Poco F5.

OGestures work in any launcher, however you should not set it as system default launcher
