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:

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

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)

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.
Ever since loading the beta on my phone, it has become really slow, to the point where I have to reboot it about 2-3 times per day. This never happened before and it's very frustrating. I am on DP4 and it still happens. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any tools to use to see what might be causing this if it's an app?
At the DP3 I also had the phenomenon from time to time with Nova Launcher. I haven't noticed it yet with DP4.

Actually, I think this may be a Nova Launcher issue. I switched to the standard launcher and so far no issues. I will continue to test and see but so far it's running so much better.
Yeah I stopped using Nova with DP3. I'll wait for official full support for P by them before I install Nova again.

Using ActionLauncher on dp4 and dp3 and no issues. Nearly same or even better possabilities to configure as nova (changed from nova years ago).
No problems with Nova for me on dp3 and dp4. Works great!
Well I didn't necessarily problems but Nova had the constant back button showing while on the homescreen with gestures on. It also didn't have the new Pixel Launcher features like app suggestions on the bottom of the multitasking or the "next step" (can't remember what they call it) within the app drawer. Lastly, it didn't have the matching dark theme with Google Feed. Just few little things.

Sure, I chose Nova over Action because of the double tap to sleep function.
I have both launchers and have always tried Action Launcher when new features came out but then kept switching back to Nova, mainly because I like the drop-down menu in the app drawer that shows recent and new apps, makes finding things easier. However, Nova has been causing my phone major slowness issues on DP4 so I went back to the stock launcher for a few days and everything has been much better. I'm going to try Action Launcher now to see how that works.
157 update allows you to change default launcher here's how I've not messed much cause I'm happy with huawei launcher let me know how others get on with other launchers.. Always force stop huawei launcher when you clear default to begin as on video
Screenshot i missed
You could always try to reset settings so you can choose your launcher , I'm sure people will mess about with it for those interested in using a different launcher
I don't use ADB but I'm sure if you delete huawei launcher you can then set any without any bugs if any

Progress, but I'm still seeing the launcher switch back to The Huawei home launcher every time I try to access recent apps. In Nova I set a gesture to "pinch out" and I get to the recent apps list, then when I swipe up to go home it crashes back to Huawei app. Maybe in the next update this will be fixed. These updates seem to be coming out pretty rapidly.

Yep - nice that /i can see the default launcher option... Not nice that I can't change it.
Hope that it gets a FIX (yes, Huawei, it is not cool at the moment), before I get my break over December and can have NOVA or other launcher before then - I guess, otherwise, it will be looking at ADB option and deleting the HOME app as per suggestion.

On the plus side, i've had my EVR-TL00 for only 9 days and in that time had THREE updates from Huawei. They must have sold millions of these things in china to get that kind of update frequency. This could in theory be fixed in less than a week.

There is definitely an upside to this phone. I am extremely happy in almost all other aspects of it. As a user in China, my battery life suffers massively form using a vpn constantly. I have never had a phone that could last a whole (real) long day - ie from 7am to 1 or 2 am.
This one delivers. The camera is also a massive upgrade form S8+
It is awesome!

Was weird, it was working for me initially for like half a day after switching via Twist - but I managed to break it. Ha ha - so XDA of me. Despite it sticking and working in NOVA, the swipe up gesture wouldn't take me back to the home screen and I really liked that. So I then went into gestures on nova settings... and the rest is history, I guess I probably updated some permissions or so forth... changed the gestures through NOVA. Bing-ba-da-boom. No longer works
PLEASE HUAWEI - READ THIS AND GIVE ME MY LAUNCHER FOR XMAS/FESTIVUS/HANUKKAH/DIWALI/HALLOWEEN/ETC.
Well as for me. I removed stock launcher via adb. I like Apex launcher, it's simplicity and the things that it can do. I don't use the default gestures and nav bar. I use Pie Control and I'm happy.
Hey all!
I've been doing some searching and can't seem to find an answer to my question: is there a proper Pixel 3 modded/alternative launcher.
I'm looking for a launcher that is identical to the stock launcher (same app drawer, home screens, gap between the search bar and dock etc) but with some extra features like app hiding and custom icons. I've looked at CPL and Rootless Launcher but they don't seem quite right.
Does anyone know if anything exists or is this something I'm going to have to do without (for now) or try and create myself?
As always, TIA!
I believe that's exactly what Lawnchair Launcher is meant to be.

These were almost perfect except setting them as default launcher gets rid of the suggested apps dock and search bar from the regents/app switcher.
Also, I can't seem to get the Google Feed (swipe left) to install/work properly either.
At this rate I feel I'm leaning more and more likely to root to get my perfect Pixel but doing so within the first six month voids my phone contract Toss plus my s/o is a bit of a technophobe and doesn't want me "breaking a new phone".
Root also kills my banking app and a few games I play so...gah!

Suggested app dock when swiping up is something i miss as well. Just recently began using DU Rom again now that active edge is working. That is really one of the things that i miss while using the included launcher.

I'm using Lawnchair 2 and I have to say that it's the most similar launcher to the original one at the moment.
Pie recents, feed, even actions in the app drawer, plus all the customization. Usually when you change icon pack you see the original icon in the recents screen, with lauwnchair you have the new icon pack everywhere, even in the recents.
I too want a launcher I can
Hide Apps,
Folders in the launcher itself or groups like Nova.
That's really about it . i'm using nova right now but sometimes i feel it's too heavy

Try the latest alpha of Lawnchair V2. I'm happy with it albeit without the recents dock but the only fix for that is root which I'm not in a position to do at the moment but I guess I can live without of the trade offs. Sesame Shortcuts just got integration too which is cool as well as grouped app drawer like Nova.

There is a Magisk module I think called QuickStep that will enable the recents dock and you can get Lawnchair Launcher from either APK Mirror or I follow the Telegram channel.

As much as I want to use Nova Launcher, it's just not as smooth and quick as the stock Pixel Launcher. Anyone else feel this way? At the same time, I have a love/hate relationship with Pixel Launcher because I love having the icon unread notification numbers on Nova as well as being able to change the home screen grid size. In the end, though, Nova is just not as quick loading apps and the app drawer.
I agree Google isn't making it easy to use another launcher on Pixel phones. It's a shame.
Nova is definitely not as smooth as the Pixel launcher. But Nova has so many advantages for me that I'll take its options over overall smoothness any day.

Same here.
U guys can use one plus launcher, one UI launcher and a custom pixel launcher as well with More customizations. There's a thread on telegram.
Action Launcher does pretty much everything Nova can do and it does everything stock pixel launcher does too. Including copying from recents screen and using Android 10 gestures.
Launchers can add the ability to work correctly on Pixels, Google opened up the ability for 3rd party launchers in December, Action Launcher is only one I know of that can do it without using quickstep or magisk.

I keep seeing these threads where at least one person claims Nova doesn't work correctly. Last year, I would have agreed... but I've been using Nova for months and I have forgotten about any drawbacks if there are any. The only differences I remember are a couple animations and the recents menu doesn't have suggestion icons? (which never suggested apps I wanted to use, so I don't miss it)
What's the smoothness that people are complaining about? The animations run as fast as my finger pushes things around... Is it just the quality and type of animations? If so, I want functionality far over such things. Having to use substratum/magisk to customize the Pixel Launcher was way worse than recreating my layout in Nova. If only things like TeslaUnread were still officially supported... but Google likes killing off useful things.
Feel free to help me understand what I'm missing.

Nova says in the settings that Google has not made it possible for Nova to use Android 10 gestures correctly. Google has made it work, but Nova hasn't been updated to allow it yet.

In my opinion, the warning is wrong. Back when I first got my phone, like half of the gestures didn't quite work. Now everything works for me.
At Nova's homescreen...
Swipe from side: Isn't triggered because you can't go back from home. Just flips pages.
Swipe from bottom: Opens app search. I'm not sure if the gesture is doing this or Nova is.
Swipe from bottom & hold: Opens recents.
Swipe from corner: Shows assistant overlay.
Everything basic works. I don't have palm swipe screenshots enabled.
My issue with Nova is the delay going back to the home screen. I can't immediately open another app. I always have to wait an extra second or click on app twice before it opens. I want the full pixel experience and it seems that Nova doesn't always deliver on it. I do occasionally go back to it until I get annoyed with my first statement.

Honestly, I've never noticed this. I guess I go home before I know what I want to click on and so I'm never quick enough to see it.
The way it's acting, it reminds me of a paused activity that needs to refresh when the app gets restored. I tried to disable battery optimization for Nova, but it didn't help. I'm not sure how to solve that.
I tried the same test on my old phone and pressing the home button actually does nothing for a split second, then Nova shows and responds immediately. But when you gesture, you want it to happen immediately... not a split second later. So in that way, Android 10 and Nova do the sensible thing and shows the paused activity.

I was using Nova Launche a lot of time ago! let's going to check how does it works now!
I have no reason to use any other launcher than pixel launcher. It works just as I need.
not sure what the hoo-blah is. I have been using Nova prime beta with no issues. No problems returning home... No speed issues. The warning that is in there is talking about the gesture navigation system wide not inside the launcher. So this means you have to use the classic 3 button method to navigate (back, home, recent). IMHO this does not affect the experience at all. Definitely prefer Nova and the customization over the stock launcher. :good:
Edit:Actually just changed the nav settings and Nova is working with new gestures.

I just switched back to Nova from Lawnchair on both my S20+ and Pixel 4XL. Nova works beautiful now and Nova Google Companion works with dark mode.
I'm on Android 11 Beta and am running Nova with no problems with gestures at all. For some reason on 10 they were not working as smooth and I would get some lag going back to the home screen. On 11, those problems have seemed to disappear.
While that's true, the closing app animation is not there and feels weird. ( Using gesture navigation )
