Hi All. I've got a pixel 3xl (A12 and Nova Launcher 7) that split screen is working fine. My problem is that I can't get it to work on my Pixel 6 Pro A13 stable and Nova Launcher 7. I open recents and long press the icon above the app and choose split screen, then I swipe right to pick another app and it just goes to home screen or it pops up pixel launcher has stopped. Any ideas? I've tried doing split screen with chrome/gmail/titanium backup/file managers.
Update. If I use pixel launcher as default home it works, I tried freezing Pixel Launcher in TB and then Chose Nova as home and I am unable to bring up recents. I defrosted the Pixel Launcher and I can now access recents (Nova) but still cannot get split screen to work. I'm stumped. I don't want to use Pixel Launcher as home because it doesn't compare to Nova customizations. Thoughts?
I just tested this on my Pixel 6 Pro using Nova Launcher Prime v7, using the exact same methods you described (recents, long press icon, et cetera). It worked fine for me. Try rebooting?
Edit: I'm on Nova v7.0.57 - the most recent v7 release (I'm not updating to v8 if I can help it).

rebooted, no joy. I'm on Nova Prime v7.0.57 as well. It's a head scratcher for sure. I am rooted, running AOSP mods v2.

I'm running AOSP Mods v2.0.1 Full Stable as well. I just tested again - no problems here. You probably have, but have you experimented with some other apps? Most recently, I tried Reddit at the top and GMail at the bottom.
Tried Hwy Radar and firefox when I long tap on the icon in recents and select split screen, the app I selected first doesn't move up to the top of the screen. When I tap on another app it just goes to home screen and a toast pops up stating the pixel launcher keeps stopped. I've tried clearing cache and data in the pixel launcher, rebooted again. Nope!

Do you have "Force activities to be resizable" enabled in Developer Options? If so, try disabling it. Not sure if you have to reboot or not.

Me off-topic: Gotta love the Settings search for quickly finding this "obscure" stuff. I wish every app and program (Windows) had such a feature.

It wasn't enabled. I tried enabling and rebooted = not working. Disabled and rebooted = not working
Tried enabling 'enable non-resizable in multi-window' and rebooted = not working. Disabled 'enable non-resizable in multi-window' and rebooted = not working

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)

D'OH I thought I had activated that. Working now. Thanks
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.
Alt of times it freezes and I have to press back or home to go back to the home screen the swipe up again. Anyone having this issue
Not with DP3. DP2, yes it happened a lot.

I am. Animations are on too. Doesn't seem as prevalent as on DP2 though. Still definitely happening.

Haven't noticed on dp3. Dp2 yes I remember it happening. Dp3 seems really good from my experience. But I always clean flash, even beta updates...I factory reset everytime.
Neither with me although animation's are all set to Off.
I got a screenshot of when it does it. When youswipe up the icon for the recent app page is missing. That's how I know when it will have this issue

Did you clean flash? Just for the sake of bugs running betas I always clean flash. I experience less bugs that way I have found.
I've never seen that occur. Stock Launcher right? Nova Launcher doesn't have the suggested apps below the cards which I only noticed several days ago.

Switched from Nova launcher to stock pixel and it never happens now
Yeah I'm waiting for Nova to get updated to support all the new stuff and I'll switch back. I'm really missing the swipe down on the homescreen to pull down the notification menu though. More convenient than the swipe down on the finger print scanner for me.

Yeah, it happened a few times a day using Nova it was enough that it bothered me.
One last thing, I wish I had found this out before I wiped my phone lol
Hasn't done it one time since beta 4 good job Google
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.
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 used to use FNG on Oreo but I moved to Vivid NG on Pie. It works better for me.
I might keep on using it on my Pixel 4 XL but I want to give the stock gestures a chance. Only if I can use them with Nova though.

I upgraded to 11 yesterday but my recent app screen is still like it was in 10.
I don't get the screenshot option in the bottom left corner only way to take a screen shot is holding the power button and the volume down button.
Also the recent app screen no longer launches from my home screen only if I am inside another app.
What do you guys think is going on? (Stock Pixel 3XL running Nova Launcher)
Thanks,
Rodney

You need to be on either 3 button navigation mode or full gesture mode, it does not show on 2 button mode.

That was it! Thanks!!! I was on 2-button!
I had the same issue on gesture, I disabled/enabled it in home settings and it works.
Did they just break 2-button navigation but leave it in? I've been on it since getting my P3xl 2 years ago, and now I can't get a recent apps screen at all. I swipe up on the home screen and nothing happens. Is there another way to get to that that I'm unaware of?

How do you change to 2 or 3 button navigation mode? I'm on full gesture mode but don't see a option to switch.

In Settings search for "system navigation".
So after I wrote that comment, my phone froze, and after rebooting it would freeze after like 5 seconds every time. I had to reflash with wiping and since then I can swipe just like before.
Is the chat bubbles only on full gesture mode too?
They never show up for me (on 2 button navigation).
