Homescreen and recent apps actions don't work. It's an uncommon issue I face. Right now it's snapchat in the way (as an image; it is frozen, forced stop, and even uninstalled. I can only live through this error (until i reboot) since xposed allows me to select running apps anyway; and shortcut app dialer to open apps. It's an annoying bug because it's happened more than once. A system ui reboot does nothing. https://1drv.ms/v/s!ApNgVfDFD6LnhM9t4PJNjFp8nvIwWw

It's been about a month since I updated to 4.1.1 and before the update I was able to hide whichever apps I wanted from the app drawer and was able to toggle hidden apps on and off. After the update all of my apps that were hidden are gone from the app drawer. And if I try the same tactic of hiding an app it disappears all the same. I can still navigate and open apps through a launcher but how can I get things back to normal. Any help? Thanks!
Hi Folks
Sometimes when some apps update from the play store their shortcuts disappear from the home screens (if I have paced one there), the app itself will still be present and correct in the app drawer, but there are empty spaces on the home screen where their shortcut was before the app was updated.
Their seems to be no rhyme or reason to when or which apps have there shortcuts removed. Some will go several updates with no change then suddenly they're gone, others do it every time they update and some never do it.
Is there a reason for this behavior? Is there a way to prevent it or at least understand when it will happen?
Sometimes I don't realise the shortcut is missing until sometime after several app updates and then I'm flicking through my home-screens and there is a blank where there shouldn't be and I'm wondering what app I had there...
This is with a stock HOX with the most recent android/sense.
Thanks
As far as I know it should not remove the icons from the Home screen if the app is just updating. It's possible some update actually remove the original application and install the new update such cases it may remove the shortcut from the Home screen since there is an uninstall process happening after the installation.
Hey guys,
I'm right now facing some issues on my D-HD phone, which runs CM 12.1 custom ROM from this forum. Also I'm on the 12.1-20151201-unofficial-aceopt (!) build.
Issues:
a) The background of the untouched Lock screen is blacked out, as soon as I swipe to unlock the intended wallpaper is showing for a sec, then the home screen.
b) The status bar, if swiped down, blacks out the whole screen, popup messages aren't stuck to the bar and are hiding behind it.
I can't do a screenshot of it, due to the behavior of the screenshot option, that is killing the expanded status bar.
c) On the screen for recent apps (by button), ALL app preview screens are empty, only the head bars with the app names are appearing.
My phone was bug free, until I started to test an self-programmed app through Android Studio on it (per ADB, app wasn't complex nor corrupted).
I'm using the standard Trebuchet launcher (though I tested others, to see if it causes the problems), and the "Euphoria Dark Theme for CM12" ,which was also installed before the problems appeared.
I also did several reboots.
I did the full forum and google search, but wasn't able to find issues or solutions that are like this.
Do you have an idea, what am I able to do?
Thank you!
Which i have understand with your issues is that,
1)your are not getting transparent status bar, right?
2) after pulling down your notification panel you get black background in that, right ?
3) your lock screen's background is black , right ?
4) and after all these 3 issues you were also facing no animation in you window/scroll etc, right ?
For those all problem just go to settings>about phone and tap about 7 to 8 time on build number then go back you will see developer option there now tap on that find the option some thing like "force high-end graphics" switch on that and reboot your phone your problems will be solved.

I am new to Nova. In my playing around and setting up, I switched back to Google Now Launcher. When doing so, most my icons on my home screen disappeared and my app store totally disappeared. Switching back to NOVA revealed the same situation. I recovered with a TWRP back up, but is this action normal when switching between launchers?
Did you check to see if Nova hid the app store? Long press a blank space on a home screen in Nova and select 'Settings' in the overlay that appears. Navigate into 'App & widget drawers', then 'Hide apps' (under 'Drawer groups'). Confirm that 'Play Store' is not checked in the list that appears.

I will check for that if the problem happens again. So I should be able to switch between the two launchers without any ill effect? I have been afraid to try ever since.
Somebody else might chime in, but I've never had a problem with multiple launchers installed on the same device. My G4 has the Google Now Launcher, Nova, and the in-built LG Launchers and I can switch between them or assign a default without issue.
Hey guys,can anyone help me to find LP Theme from Percy921-last version?
So recently, I'd say maybe since getting the Sept update last week here in Canada on my s20+ (g986w). I've been noticing my recent apps screen changing the way it looks and behaves while running Nova Launcher on OneUi 2.5.
Using gesture navigation, I'll swipe up and get my recent apps screen which I've always seen since getting this device and always running Nova Launcher. Grey background with apps as tiles. Current app as first tile, swipe left for other apps.
But sometimes when I swipe up my recent apps screen shows my current app in full screen, swipe right for other open apps. Search bar and close button are transparent and sometimes hard too see.
Anyways see pics. (apologies for the open apps and subject) Just finding this odd.
