I normally use Nova Launcher as my default launcher but wanted to try Pixel launcher. As you can see in screenshot, I am not getting the Pixel home button, but the one from Nova Launcher.
Settings > system > Gestures > "swipe up on home button"
The new nav bar is not tied to the launcher. I use the new pill navigation on Nova launcher
Thats also the one from the Pixel and not from the nova launcher, as the nova launcher hasn't softkeys intgrated. I assume you mean the gesture-controll button, you have to activate it in Settings/system/gestures/"swipe from homebutton" (or so)

D'OH I thought I had activated that. Working now. Thanks
has anyone using Nova noticed that the back button shows even on the home screen? I believe it should show only when there is a need for it right? I switched to the stock launcher and it doesn't show there.

Yup lol. I got the same response. And something as silly as the back button always showing is keeping me from using it. For now I'm using pixel launcher.

Currently using Nova Launcher and I can't find the lockscreen orientation toggle. Do I need to get Ultimate lockscreen app or whatever thats called?
Am I the only one that gets annoyed by this?
I think, you can try the Nova Launcher setting.
1. Click the menu (left of the home button)
2. Nova Launcher setting (not sure any, but it should be in there)
Good luck anyway.

I am using NOVA as my daily launcher. Whenever I open any app and press back key, instead getting Nova launcher home and I see stock touchwiz home. How Do I fix this problem? I can get Nova launcher home by pressing home button.
Mine is not doing that. I used an app called homesmack to set nova as default. That may fix your problem. Sounds like every action isn't defaulted to home. Just the home button.

I had that problem with Nova and sslauncher but only when I had backed out of gmail!? Really strange. Do as Aranen_Zen suggested and install a home switcher to see if it helps.
Thank, I will try home switcher. Does anybody know how to fix without installing any other app.

Not sure if you tried this yet, but go into NOVA settings and scroll to bottom...there's a setting called "set default home". It will show what you have set and can set NOVA as default there. Also, in Manage Applications you can clear defaults somehow if step above didn't work.
I have a Motorola Razr M HD (XT926) and am running into the same issue with Nova.
Pressing the "back" button to leave an app takes me to my default home. However, if I leave an app by pressing "home" I am taken to my Nova home screen.
OP, did you figure this out without installing another app?
Doctor, I did as you said to no avail.

I am not sure but with Nova update (or Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update ??) that problem has gone. I had setup Nova as default launcher but still was getting error.

i am not facing that problem now. No idea what fixed it, update to Nova or Firmware upgrade. But I am glad that it has gone.

I have the same problem with my Note 8.0 but it seems to only happen for the Gmail widget, which I use very often. I've tried Nova, Apex and GO launchers and they have the same results. I've tried the suggested home-switching apps but to no avail.
Getting exact same problem
I have a Motorola XT925 RAZR HD. Just installed Nova and set it as default launcher using the Nova settings... made sure the Home Launcher has no defaults... but yeah, backing out of Gmail or Text Messaging would show the default launcher home screen. Rebooting seems to have cured it, but I'll report back if it comes back. Kinda annoying but glad to see others having the same problem, means a software issue, not my phone! heh.
Been struggling with this lawnchair, nova, and pretty much every launcher i tried disables the gestures and reverts me back to 3 button navigation bar..
Any suggestions?
Funny thing is, it works fine as long as i don't set nova\lawnchair as a default - i can continue using those launchers + gestures.
Why would this funky behavior be?

My guess is it has to do with the way the new gestures and their animations integrate with the launcher (the app minimizing to the icon on the home screen when swiping up, etc.) and they're working on 3rd party support for that. They said it'd be in a post-launch update, but there's no ETA on that yet.
Don't know if everyone has this issue, but I've installed Nova and every time I rebooted my first home action went to the pixel launcher instead of Nova. After each reboot I was having to launch Nova, go into settings and set it as the default launcher again to make it work right. Freezing the pixel launcher disables the recent apps.
Doing some digging I found something that solved this for me. It has something to do with the broadcast receivers the pixel launcher is requesting.
I used SD maid to disable all of the pixel launchers broadcast receivers and it works great.
Hope this helps someone save some time as it wasn't straightforward to search for.
Never had this issue and I've been using nova since day one. And gestures work perfectly
Doesn't Nova break QuickSwitch recents though?
I've not had issues using the native gestures together with Nova Launcher. QuickSwitch works too. What I did was set the default launcher as Nova Launcher from the Pixel Settings app, doing it from Nova Launcher settings doesn't seem to make it stick for some reason.

I went to the receiver manager, clicked the three dots in the upper right, checked other and they showed up.
I also found that if I wait a bit after the home screen comes up before using it it doesn't have the weird launcher behavior. So it might have been a matter of waiting long enough for initialization too.

If your using Nova with root, you likely didn't wait long enough. Had the same issue as you here and there. If I waited a minute, was fine :good:

You too bruh! I don't hide root from Nova. I use it for the lockscreen swipe up gesture, and other accessibility features
What about lawn chair with quick switch and gestures?

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea my friend. I don't like gesture navigation whatsoever. I'm a 3 button fan. Sorry I couldn't help
@Badger50 Oh I see, that's unfortunate! I guess I'll just give it a try and see what happens. Thanks anyway.

I used to use FNG on Oreo but I moved to Vivid NG on Pie. It works better for me.
I might keep on using it on my Pixel 4 XL but I want to give the stock gestures a chance. Only if I can use them with Nova though.

I upgraded to 11 yesterday but my recent app screen is still like it was in 10.
I don't get the screenshot option in the bottom left corner only way to take a screen shot is holding the power button and the volume down button.
Also the recent app screen no longer launches from my home screen only if I am inside another app.
What do you guys think is going on? (Stock Pixel 3XL running Nova Launcher)
Thanks,
Rodney

Don't use Nova. Those functions are specific to the Pixel launcher. I have them both on my 3XL.

You need to be on either 3 button navigation mode or full gesture mode, it does not show on 2 button mode.

That was it! Thanks!!! I was on 2-button!
I had the same issue on gesture, I disabled/enabled it in home settings and it works.
Did they just break 2-button navigation but leave it in? I've been on it since getting my P3xl 2 years ago, and now I can't get a recent apps screen at all. I swipe up on the home screen and nothing happens. Is there another way to get to that that I'm unaware of?

That is interesting, I am on two button and when I swipe up when in an app I get recents.
How do you change to 2 or 3 button navigation mode? I'm on full gesture mode but don't see a option to switch.

In Settings search for "system navigation".
So after I wrote that comment, my phone froze, and after rebooting it would freeze after like 5 seconds every time. I had to reflash with wiping and since then I can swipe just like before.
Is the chat bubbles only on full gesture mode too?
They never show up for me (on 2 button navigation).
