Question Nova launcher Problems and floating windows and other bugs - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

Hi I have a new poco F3 8/256gb and it comes with Miui 12.0.2 but I have problems with nova launcher, the buttons recent app doesn´t work and only shows a blanck screen without any of the app. I tried with Apex launcher with the same resul. Then the icon for floating windows only apears on the control center icon and not on recent app, so the usability is very poor. Another problem I have is the bar of gesture on the botton of the screen sometime disapears and sometimes not. I search on the net and a tried, developer option miui optimitation with no positive results, hope Xiaomi release a new update soon.

It's a problem with poco launcher that broke recent apps if you install another launcher.
See here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...12-2-2-4-eu-version-android-11.4215795/page-2
I have installed the new version and it's ok now for me with Microsoft launcher

It's not miui, it's android 11. when i was using mi9t with PE, no third party launchers work really well. lawnchair and shady launcher do release their alpha versions and it's usable, not perfect, but, yeah, usable.

Lawnchair Alpha doesn't work, it's the same problem. The moment you enable Lawnchair gestures are disabled.

I had the same issue on my F3 with Nova Launcher
Thanks to @stevejc, I just installed Poco Launcher v2.20.1.26 and got back the recent apps in Nova !

But I have also lost floating windows !

thanks to @stevejc for his answer I update the poco launcher and my nova works perfect but I still have no floating window options in a recent panel. anyone can help me with this?

The only working tip is to use the quick settings button for each app.
I don't have also the icon in recent panel too.

Full gestures don't seem to work for me if I use custom launcher only traditional Dock navigation bar works. Even if you still insist using full gestures restart brings back old navigation. However I tried this app it seems to make full gestures work? Restart old navigation does still return but we can continue use full gestures. Can anyone confirm? If it works more than just me I might buy it.

Pls ignore the app I recommended. When it works it works but it can suddenly stop working. I am going back to poco launcher until there is a fix or someone recommend a working gesture app.

I installed FNG for gestures with poco launcher

sorry I can´t confirm because a I use the poco launcher now

I got a reply frm an xda developer. He develop gesture app for earlier androids. He said he can't help us. So I am guessing other gestures might not fully work either?

Guys more of you need to submit feedback / bugs complain I get the feeling xiaomi will not fix the full gesture with custom launcher issue. This their respond despite telling them oneplus has no issue with nova on android 11. I got a oneplus 7t pro.

Hi I'm using microsoft launcher and the app my gesture and it'working.
You can turn off or not the nav bar with setup gesture on miui setup page.

You have any issue of it suddenly stop working? I did. Its same with all others I tried they can suddenly stop working if I don't have 3 dot at bottom it be an issue. Mygesture suddenly stop working according to app accessibility stop responding I need to restart. Turning accessibility on off for it didn't work only restart did.

You need to avoid stop the app in recent apps screen (first icon).
Also I give the app the Start automatically authorization and no battery optimisation.
I have the same problem if I kill the app but with the previous settings it's OK.
I can hide the nav bar, only after reboot they come again.
To hide them add gesture in Miui settings

I have managed to use nova launcher with gestures combining it with the FNG app to hide the navigation bar ... it is not the definitive solution but at the moment it is working for me, I hope this info is useful

Nova Launcher - Slow redrawing

For those using Nova. Have you also noticed slow redrawing of the home screen when from any app you go back to home screen using gesture?? It doesn't happen on Oneolus launcher
Yes. Same here. Annoying as hell. Ot happens on all launchers except the OnePlus launcher.
Any solutions?
Sent from my GM1910 using Tapatalk
I have noticed this, also, sometimes I end back on the OnePlus launcher and have to press the home button to get back into Nova Prime.
Gesture support was only recently made available to 3rd party launchers on Android 10. Hopefully it will get better with future updates when Android develops better support for 3rd party launchers.
The delay in loading Nova only happens when using the gesture navigation and using the gesture for home screen. Using the back gesture has no delay in loading the Launcher. Similarly using three button navigation has no delay.
I have reported it as a bug to OnePlus using the OnePlus community app and you should do the same.
Yeah, I had the same experience with Nova (or any other 3rd party launcher), so I made some workaround:
I downloaded Fluid Navigation Gestures app from the Playstore, it works without any problem and flaws...I am using three button nav panel in system settings, but Fluid Navigation Gestures app can hide that nav panel with simple ADB command and the result is you can control your phone with gestures with 3rd party launcher, but without any slow redrawings or any other bugs.
are there any solutions? i was hoping with the new update it would work...

At the moment the only one solution is Fluid Navigation Gestures.

Pull down the notification bar from anywhere on the screen?

Hi, have a rooted phone!
And i haven't yet found solution to enable pull down notification panel option from anywhere on screen.
I am able to enable this option by installing Nova launcher and similar apps.
But i am looking for other ways, like modules, guide or something else.
Thanks. Whish you all the best
Shouldn't the notification panel already can pull down from any screen already?
Or I misunderstood notification panel?

Use the fingerprint gesture in the Settings.

yeah this seems like a way to go for you
Tried the gestures with 2 and 3 fingers and on Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite they don't work.
Checked Google and Pixel launcher is the only stock launcher that can do it stock... at least from the first page of Google results.
I have this function on Resurrection Remix rom on another phone, but I mostly find it annoying. It's a better option to use the fingerprint to open notifications.
It looks like OP solved the issue just for the record also Lawnchair and Poco launchers can do it fine.
Nova launcher does the job too

One UI 2.0 new navigation bar gesture

Previously, double tab recent tab will switch to previous app.
For Android 10, I need to press and drag from center to bring up recent apps. However, I can't find faster way to switch to previous app.
Any one know how?
If you do that motion (for recents) and flick it to the right in just one motion switches back to previous app.

I switched back to the original one. Double tap is so much easy. I use One Hand Operation+ which can go back the same way.
And I use Nova Launcher. New gesture is not compatible

I don't have the Android 10 update yet but from what I see in the new Oneui2 you can just swipe to the right at the bottom to go to your previous app. Doesn't get better than that. It's just about the same as iPhone gesture.

Also, you can swipe to the left and go real quick to original app you were on. Try it!

I tried this method https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...ova-launcher-and-other-third-party-launchers/ but it always seems to go back to the nav bar at the bottom after a while.
I don't know if anyone else is facing the sake issue in regard to the navigation gestures. But when I type faster on the screen keyboard I sometimes end up in the home screen or launching another application as if I hit a hidden home key or recent key.

I still haven't received the Android 10 update but I will definitely look for that when I get it. Thanks q
I recently found out that good lock does not work on android 10, and I rely on it very much, I use one handed operation because I hate the nav bar, I can not tolerate having all the space it takes being wasted, so I have it hidden and I use gestures, but I am seeing that gesture nav is a nightmare on android 10, I think I will stick on blocking the update, as I did since day one, precisely because of these things

I'm on Android 10 and have Good lock installed, One Hand Operation+ works fine. Not all apps are available in Good lock yet but should be within a couple of months, like when One UI originally came out.
One hand operations+ works also on Android 10, with that you have granular customizable gestures including switch to last app, recents and a comfy lateral quick switch for all app opened! OHO+ works also without good lock app installed, you can sideload it from apkmirror or here in the xda forums taking advantage of nicelock. Nicelock also integrates an information tab with all the modules working on Android 10
Hex installer is working
On andriod 10. Hex installer fixed the weird nav bar issue when set to swipe. I set the nav bar size to 5. Swipes work without the huge black bar under the keyboard.
One hand operation still works. I use nova but one hand operation is my preference anyway.
Also, I cannot hide the carrier logo or move the clock. I tried systemui turner. It doesnt work for clock or carrier. Some other functions work though.
For now I just set the weather consistent notification to get rid of the AT&T on statusbar.
Hopefully goodlock will fix this when updated.

Good Lock is updating to be more compatible with Android 10. It is not finished yet. When all capability issues are resolved and updated, that's when we will get our update.

Lag when using Nova Launcher?

I just noticed there's some lag in Mi 10T when using Nova Launcher as the default launcher. For example, when changing apps in multitasking or going back to homescreen.
Also, when Nova Launcher is set as default, you lose the gesture to go to the previous app swiping up from the bottom and then right.
Any solutions?

Gestures don't work at all in custom launchers, that's a limitation of android 10, and 11, and without rooting there is no solution for now. As for lagginess that's again using other launchers. Try and find one that doesn't lag (nova doesn't lag for me, but I'm using classic 3 buttons navigation because gesture nav doesn't work...)

You have to find the way to get nova launcher to behave like system launcher (delete miui launcher and put nova in its place) to get gestures working. Check on internet, there's tons of guides on how to make system launcher, or maybe there is some magisk module that does that...

I just tried that and made Nova a system app, then I deleted MIUI Launcher. It behaves the same. Switch between apps from the bottom (Android 10 native gesture) is not working. I'll just have to stick with the MIUI Launcher then, though I hate to see icon labels in home screen...

I feel your pain.
Same deal on my Note 10+... those damn white labels. That's all I wanted to change.
Nova Launcher does slow it down as do many others if it already has a good stock launcher as the 10+ actually does.
Nova used a lot more resources/battery than stock too.
Take any launcher instability seriously.
After hyperion boot looped me twice, yes two full reloads worth of fun, I decided I could live with the white labels.
My need for speed and system stability is much greater...

Question System navigation with gestures not working with alternative launchers

Hi all
I've tried a couple of alternative launchers, Nova and Microsoft, and system navigation with gestures does not work in both cases.
Anyone with same issue? I'm on global 12.0.8.0
Really strange, again, because on my Poco X3 with MIUI 12 (Android 10) and Nova Launcher everything works fine...
Thanks
PS: I didn't know, but I just read that on Android 11 MIUI 12, Gestures are only available with stock launcher and it seems that Xiaomi is not going to solve it.
Very bad, also because if I try to use any side app to obtain same effect (Fluid n.g or Gestures control), every time I reboot I get the system navigation buttons again...
Hope that Xiaomi will fix it or that some launchers will find a solution.

I was able to get around this problem with an app called Fluid N.G. It works very well for me, of course after setting up autostart, unlimited battery access etc. Besides, it has a ton of extra options to apply custom gesture settings. After a reboot, just switch from buttons to gestures - not ideal solution, but better than none.
