Unable to return to home screen - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
This is a minor irritation, but if anyone has any insight, I would be most appreciative.
Rooted Sprint Note 4 (N910-P) , 6.0.1 , Nova Launcher (paid).
Used to be, wherever I was on my multiple screens, if I pushed the "home" button on the phone, I would return to the home screen. Now, if I press it, I simply get the screen of the moment. I can't recall having done anything to change things, but I suspect it has something to do with the launcher, in which I perhaps simply can't see a check box for "return to home screen". Any suggestions? I KNOW there must be an incredibly simple answer
Thanks

Try this. It's one of my favorite things about Nova. Goes to default home on first press, screen lock on second press.

But you have plenty of other options too.

(Q) Can't save scenes?

So I just noticed that I am unable to save scenes on my phone anymore. It's not a huge deal since I don't really use them, but it's bugging me knowing that it's not working. I'm running redemptive 2.2 with Viva azul 1.1 and more mods than I can fit on this page. But it was working fine as of a week ago so I know it's neither the rom nor the theme. I've tried wiping data on rosie to no avail. So the question is, what controls scenes? I still have the standard ones listed, but my current one is unsaved. When I hit save I can type whatever I want and hit done on the keyboard, but then I get some kind of default wallpaper with a line through it instead of the losing box, and it just sits on that screen until I hit home or back, but it never saves.
I'm at a loss and don't know where to look for a fix for this. Any ideas?

That is the screen that I see when I hit done.

unlock screen to check time.

I reflashed the Stock UAMDL rom and then reflashed TWRP and root. (after trying a few roms and having strange behavior in the Gapps, specifically).
How do I get my screen to unlock and show the time when I swipe my hand over the screen/sensor, when the phone is locked?
It does not seem to work now. All the other hand gestures/eye-gestures works fine, it just do not want to unlock the screen to show the time anymore.
Ideas? Am I missing a setting, somewhere?
Thanks
Go to Settings > Motions and Gestures then click on air gestures and make sure quick glance is on

DUH!!!!
Thank you! I feel like an idiot, after flashing stock twice in a row, thinking it was corrupt or something.
Just wondering why TMO/SAMSUNG turns this off by default.
Again - Thanks
Probably off for default to have better battery life

Device administrator?

Is the attached a Huawei app or something?

I have that on mine as well.
If you long press on the home screen and go into your widget selections, there is a system widget that can power off the screen. I'm guessing it needs administration privileges to be able to do that???

I think that widget is independent of the administrator query I mentioned. Since holding my home screen down doesn't show that option like yours. Either way there was, is a widget for screen lock that I activated , it locks the screen regardless of the administrator option being active or not.

Anyone know what these markings are?

Everytime I go to my launcher these pop up for a couple of seconds then disappear. Curious what they actually are as I've never noticed then up until recently after updating and doing a factory reset.

You are using a kind of layer on top of the default launcher (kind of like KWGT walpaper) uses to create interactive objects on the main screen, and those are remnants of the default placeholders for Phone and messages or whatever the defaults you had set on your phone.
Those are the Google assistant triggers indication, as you've mentioned, they'll disappear after a while

Question Bottom Edge Stroke Switch Application feature does not work.

Is anybody else having issues with the slide left or right to switch apps feature not working on Red Magic 8 pro? I seem to remember it worked for me when I first bought it but at some point it stopped working and hast since. I've been updating regularly and I'm currently on the latest version. (I just noticed that the word application has a typo in the settings )
