The thread title says it all. This is driving me absolutely insane. On reboot, probably about 70% to 80% of the time, OnePlus launcher gets magically put on default status over Nova on reboot. The same problem would occasionally happen on my 8 Pro as well, but it happens more frequently on my 9 Pro.
Of course I have set Nova as default launcher under the settings menu. This simply does not stick on reboot the majority of the time for some reason. I've tried everything, even moving Nova APK to system app folder. OnePlus launcher sucks so bad. I even tried freezing the OnePlus launcher, but it screwed up my gesture navigation, so I unfroze it.
I'm not sure what's causing this bug, but if anyone knows how to fix it would do cartwheels of joy.
Unfortunately I've had this same issue since my OnePlus 5T. It's likely an Oxygen OS thing cause I never had this issue when I used a custom ROM on my 5T or 6T. I haven't been able to find a fix for this on Oxygen OS though
I've have this occasionally, not often though. I usually set OnePlus launcher as default, then go back into settings and change it back to Nova. Holds for me through many reboots or sometimes if I flash something in Magisk.
I have no fix, but it happens on Pixel 4a android 11 roms too. Not on my Pixel 3, or 3a. Weird.
I've had this issue 3 or 4 times so far. The frustrating part is after it forgets default launcher I can't get it to stick again. When I go to default apps and select Nova, it just goes back to None & home takes me to OnePlus launcher. I always manage to fix it but never in a consistent way.
After setting nova launcher as default, also turn off battery optimization for nova launcher. This is my 3rd OP phone, and i didn't face this issue as you guys
Happened to me too.
I just once selected one launcher as standard, then Nova again.
And it stuck.

That happened to me only once on my 8 Pro. Did the same thing and never had the problem. It ha snot happened with my 9 Pro.
Run Nova on two 9 Pros without this issue, what version are you running? Have you moved on to Nova7?
I would check under Settings>Apps and notifications>App Permissions and also Special app access and ensure you've given Nova everything it's asking for. As above, try turning off battery optimisation for Nova too.
Also, obviously, check under Settings>Apps and notifications>Default apps and ensure Nova is listed as the "Home App"
I haven't had this issue since jumping to the latest Nova7.

This is totally unnecessary to join the discord server. All you have to do is go to apkmirror.com and all the 7 betas are there. (Unless there's a beta ahead of 7.25)?
I think I figured out what's causing my issue! I had an app installed called 'screen balance', that draws over other apps. It changes the tint/white balance of the screen. Man, with it on, the screen looks so much better. But I guess I'm forced to keep it off for now.
This started happening to me about a week ago (august 15), and since this is a "kind of old" thread I don't know what your problem was, but in my case I tracked it down to an update of:
* Device Health Services
* Digital Wellbeing
If I go to the Playstore and uninstall the updates to those two apps the problem goes away.
I also unchecked the Auto-Update option to avoid the issue in the short term.
Best regards

HA ... It is so annoying that I even reinstalled my ROM to try to fix the problem, so when (after flashing the ROM) I reinstalled Nova everything was OK, but when playstore started to auto-update everything the problem returned, that's how I KNEW that it was something from a Google update!!

I was up to 4 factory reset since mid august , trying to understand what was responsible for this mess while scouring the web for an answer.
Until I ended on this topic. Trully, thank you. really.
muck like you, I apparently somehow cannot remove/uninstall that "Digital Wellbeing" crap either ( most likely forced by my phone provider, since it was always back after every factory reset. ) , but at least I can also disable the auto update to hopefully fix the problem. Finger crossed.

Guys. Wondering if anyone has the same issue ?
I have organized the apps in my app Drawer into folders.... however after I restarted the phone.. the app Drawer does not memorized it... all the apps that I put into folder now no longer organized... however the folders are still there , just with out the apps...
I tried this on both mine and my wife ...
In my app drawer I put all of att apps in a folder. Then I restarted the phone. The folder is still there with all the apps in it. I do know, if an app get updated, sometimes they move out of any folders. Recently my note4 did go though a bunch of app updates, do you think this is what may have happened?
app drawer bug
I checked mine.. some of the apps are in folder but some other folders become empty with no apps in it.... this didnot happen with my note2 eventhough there is app update..
Happened to me as well. I found a reasonable workaround though: in the app drawer, open the settings menu, select Sort By and then select Custom (not aplhabetical). This fixed the problem for me.
Thanks i will give it a try
It does not work. My apps still come out from the folder...
I'm having the same issue. In addition, some TouchWiz settings are not sticking through reboots. It's starting to become really, really annoying... I shouldn't have to reorganize 80+ apps every time I reboot the phone. I've already done a factory reset, tried clearing data on the launcher, and neither have worked.
I hope there is an update to fix this soon... i am surprised we are not seeing much feedback on this..

Darn, was hoping to give TouchWiz a fair shot before I replaced it, but with this and a few other glitches, I'm going to switch to Nova also until it gets a few bug fix updates.
Smart Launcher here. I like simplicity and it groups apps into categories for you. You can edit and add of course.
I have had my 10 for some time now & have of course charged it several times. Well last night for the first time when I plugged my 10 in I was presented with this new screen I have never seen before? Enclosed is the screen shot. I have used nothing but the orginal cord & charger it came with and nothing else. Before this screen started doing this it would just show the red led light and that was it. Can someone tell me what this is and if I can modify this somewhere in the settings? If I do change anything will I still be getting the fast charging that I have grown to love? Iam still stock running next launcher & a few zooper widgets is all. There is nothing within next launcher or zooper settings regarding this? Anyone have any idea?
Iam also wondering where the ads within this new screen come from as well if someone could answer that as well?
definitely a third party app adding lock screen ads. Es file manager or something.
Delete an app or two and keep going until it stops.

Are their any Pixel 3XL owners who are on the Google Beta Program? My weather information continues to disappear in the "At A Glance" section. If you've experienced this are there any workarounds aside from unenrolling from the Beta program?
my understanding was this was a server-side issue last time it occurred....but I could be wrong.....I am in beta program and yes have lost weather as of yesterday afternoon. When this happened last month it was all Home devices but my other ones are showing weather still...
If you uninstall the update the weather will come back. If you reinstall the beta update it will work again only for a short time and then will disappear again.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yeah. On a different, yet related note, I noticed that when in the current Google beta program, long pressing my Pixel Buds and asking for the time or what the weather's going to be like didn't illicit a response, yet asking to play the next track or tell me what's on my agenda would work just fine. When I unenrolled from the program and used the regular Google app everything worked fine. Weird, huh?? I wanted to stay in the beta program so I could use and listen to the Google Podcasts app on my wireless Android Auto Pioneer Nex4400 Unit. I can't do that on the regular Google app
I was on Beta of Google app and my weather disappeared 2 days ago. Funny, I was just searching about this very subject. I had to uninstall the beta version and install standard version then weather showed right away. You can always put the weather app on your homescreen but it takes up more space.
Left the beta today because of this. I want my weather to be there for easy access on the main screen. If and when they fix it, then maybe I'll come back to the beta. Not that they care...lol.
i just added a shortcut on the homescreen until it magically comes back good enuf for me.

Really? "Not that they care". It's beta for a reason. Some stuff isn't going to work correctly. If they didn't care they wouldn't release beta's. It's how Google figures out what if any adverse effects any changes they made have in the real world.

I believe the new beta that just came out today, v9.0.3.21 solves the weather problem.

Yeah, that's what I did. I joined again after hearing there was a new update, but it seems like it did not fix according to those here. Mine is still showing weather, but the bug usually causes it to leave after some time. Guess we'll see. If it goes away again, I'll leave the beta again I guess. I like being a member of the beta and getting the new features first, but I do like having the weather there as well.
Edit: Nope. Weather went away again. Oh well, leave the beta again...

Is the beta rootable thru the usual method? Or did I need to download a beta or canary version of Magisk?
Rooted the beta thru canary version of Magisk. The beta is definitely not a daily driver at this point. Almost all Google apps won't stay open. They just close, even in safe mode. Also, getting lots of random reboots.
Edit: Removing canary magisk has caused most of the issues I was experiencing to stop.
Yeah, get rid of that app or keep that app and use mirror versions of the Google Apps and manually update those as they come available. Google Play once it detects any one app on a huge list of "risky" apps Google will shut it down for "security " reasons, they have been known to blacklist accounts and or devices and completely wash any account attached to it for violation of "their piss poor security provisions") not sure how that's legal and it's completely b.s but whatever. There are all kinds of ways around it, it all boils down to, knowing what your doing, what to look for and basically manipulating the Google Apps or play store, it's really about how important is it to ya, because all the work around are time consuming and a pain in the ass at best, hope that helps?

I've been rooting my phones since I first got a Razr. I have never had an issue with Google's security. My guess is since we have to use a canary version of Magisk, it has got some bugs that need to be squashed
A majority of the issues is Google, it started around the first of the year, they are playing I'm your daddy and you will comply games. Samsung is getting ready at some point in the future to wash their hands of Google/Android and do their own thing over it and other issues. Google has gotten to big for their pee pants and all of us have started feeling the backlash of Google and their big daddy fight

Using beta Android and rooted it using the canary method. It's behaving pretty stable. On the first beta my phone was crashing and bootlooping (at lockscreen) as I had enabled the media resumption feature. But I was able to disable it from safe mode. But since beta 1.5 (June 17 update) it's working fine too.
Only issue I'm seeing (not necessarily to this update) I'm unable to have more than 2-3 apps in memory. They reload everytime. I guess 4Gb ram is too less

Just simply go under settings to "Network & Internet --> Advanced (Or "More Connection Settings" on other phones) --> Select Private DNS mode --> Private DNS Provider Hostname --> type the following: dns.adguard.com and hit save. You are done! Now you have system-wide Ad blocking on all apps. It's that simple. No need for root or anything else. I've tried this on my Note 10 + 5G and my Pixel 3 XL and it works like a charm.

I had already added adguard in the private dns settings. While it does block ads, using energized pro with root is much more effective at blocking ads.
I did a clean install of Android 11 Beta and rooted again thru canary Magisk. Same issues with Google apps closing or acting sluggish. I decided to turn on Magiskhide for all things google and that fixed the issue. Looks like Google is clamping down harder on Magisk users

It's great for me. Signal strength took a bit of a hit, but otherwise no real issues that I can see.
For what it's worth to anyone wanting to try the beta 2 root, it doesn't work. After fastboot flashing the canary magisk (app-debug.apk) the digitizer stops working on boot. I'm guessing topjohnwu removed the other apk for that reason, but save yourself the effort until he gets the other apk out.
Edit: I was able to get past the "beta warning" popup, by plugging in a mouse, but outside of that workaround, the digitizer still doesn't work. Root DID take, but only with the digitizer caveat.
So all of a sudden the large version of the Google weather widget no longer takes me to Google weather when tapping it. The small version does. I have cleared the Google cache and rebooted.
Thinking this was just me a pixel 4a has the same problem...
Confirmed here also. Tried removing old widget from Nova Launcher and put a new one of the same widget. Tried rebooting. I made sure all my Play Store apps are up to date - I got them all updated, and checked for a Play System Update (none there).
No change in behavior.

Just an update. . Uninstalling the Google app/ back date fixes the issue for now.

Thanks! Maybe more people use the smaller one than the larger one - or don't even realize there's a larger one available. I actually only use it as a backup to confirm my main weather app's reports, and I have a third weather app installed as well since sometimes two are just as (occasionally) unreliable as one.
Slight necro, but I just realized today that the larger weather widget is working again. I have the widget two screens to the right from my primary homescreen, so I don't look at it too often. I assume it started working with one of the February updates, although I don't know for certain when it started working again.
