How to get Oreo style vertical recent app switcher on Android Pie (9.0).
Using Nova launcher does not help as App Switcher is now bulit into the default launcher now.
I read that one can disable default launcher using ADB and then use 3rd party launcher which will then allow recent app switcher to be changed, but that was on Google Pixel forum, I'm not sure how it will go for Zenfone 5z.
If anyone has tried it then do specify here.
Many thanks for your time.

I saw in a post (OnePlus Community) that one of the users suggested using a different launcher.
Try NovaLauncher or something else.
Where is the home option in nougat update? How can i switch from default oneplus launcher to any other launcher and vice versa
Probably the next million dollar question.
New horizontal app switcher makes me feel I'm using my old S7 edge 'cause its soooo sloooow (and also not always accurate).
It's been found that freezing pixel launcher turns back to vertical app switcher but hey ... I like pixel launcher.
Let's elaborate here on how to achieve this.

Any update on this using Pixel Launcher?
I've always used Nova for the tabs/sorting in the app drawer but since pie has been released, I switched back to the pixel launcher because gestures just aren't the same using Nova.
I'm still missing that app drawer customization of Nova though.
Does anyone know of a process (custom ROM/root/module) that will allow the best of both worlds? Or a module that will permit the pie gestures to work with Nova? Ideally with the dock in overview.
I haven't rooted or flashed anything on a phone in several years so I'm not sure what's possible.
Thanks.
The system gesture are not working with Nova.
The support from Nova can't help.
Gestures dont work with any of 3rd party launchers (miui 12 android 11). You can change to custom rom when be available or use fluid gesture app here Link to xda thread. I tried without root on Xiaomi Pad 5 and work but not very well.
So I updated to miui 14 and the option to lock apps is not available anymore. In previous versions you would just hold the app down in the recents list and then the options would come up to to lock the app or not.
I have two identical phones and it is the case in both of them.
Ok it seems the option has just gone in Nova Launcher if I revert back to the normal system launcher the options are there!
So a temporary work around until Nova Launcher is updated is to switch to the system launcher and lock apps there and then switch back to to Nova Launcher.
I have now contacted Nova Launcher to see see whether this can be implemented
