[Q] Question regarding recents and OPLauncher - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hello,
Since the first moment I have my OP 6T, I clear all my recents with a white rounded button located at the bottom center of the screen (no screenshot sorry) using as default launcher Nova in it's paid version.
Now I decide to root, using the boot image patched method (do no TWRP yet, waiting for official version) and delete OPLauncher with some other apps that I never use. Now I only have the option to clear all if I swipe to the top right edge of the recents screen (a bit annoying IMHO) I can't go back or activate again my old white rounded button located at the bottom center of the screen.
I download OPLauncher from PlayStore but when I install it and try to enter in the recents menu, using either OPLauncher or Nova, OPLauncher crashes and can't enter in recents until I uninstall OPLauncher.
So my question is, how can I get my old clear all recents button? With my actual root status without TWRP, can I factory reset or similar and repeat the process of rooting?
The fact that I can't get the old button and the fact that I must swipe up through a lot of recents apps to clear all it's driving me totally nuts.
EDIT: Also seems like I also lost the ability of block apps with my fingerprint. Totally annoying.
It's a really small problem but I need some help here
Thanks in advance.

CM7 launcher has gone missing??

I have no idea how it happened, but my launcher icon (4 square looking thing) has disappeared! Now there is a star in that middle spot that prompts me to drag something there...
I am running the stable 7.1 build of CM7 booting from the SD card. I tried a reboot to verify...it is gone.
How do I get it back?
Where the launcher was, swipe your finger up (if holding vertically). You can hide the launcher by swiping down to give yourself a full length dock.
I found it. I think my kids must have played with it. I was able to add it back using the menu>+add option (still learning here!)
Occasionally mine disappears just from quickly tapping for the app launcher (Yes my screen is clean ). Just have to swipe it to make it return, or just use the dock function instead.

[Q] Navbar customisation on stock KK

I've recently gone back to stock after flashing the latest factory 4.4.3 image. I have xposed and gravity installed, however I miss the option to assign different icons to the navbar buttons.
I like to have a permanent menu button in place of the recent apps button, but with gravitybox installed I can only make the recent apps button become a menu button, however the icon remains as a recent apps icon if that makes sense.
Is there a mod available that allows a much wider ranging option for editing the navbar?
Thanks.

P8Lite lockscreen issue (magazine)

At the bottom of the (magazine) lock screen there is a bar with some quick access buttons. I wonder if there is a way to link some buttons to specific apps, rather than the ones phone came with.
In my specific case, I would like to replace the app that opens when I press the Calculator button. To add a app that I installed (and added it as system app).
Please see attachment for details.
You can't replace the apps. The one thing you can is to install another theme that has different apps but you can't replace neither.
Just install a new lock screen where you can do a lot more than the stupid stock huawei lock screen.
Good lockscreen from microsoft:

[solved] 2 side panels appears since Pie update

Hello,
Since PIE update I have an annoying problem.
2 side bars similar to edge sidebar (when its closed) appears on my screen (see screenshots).
Theese two bars don't have any actions and can't be swiped., but make little vibrate on swipe.
The main problem is the right sidebar is too close of the send button (messages/whatsapp & messenger) and make half of it don't react (and send message on click).
Here is my observations :
- it's shown over all elements (desktop, app list, all applications)
- it's not visible on lock screen
- it don't show up in Android safe mode
I've dig for hours, and try several methods without success :
- reboot (look stupid, but must be said )
- disable the real Edge sidebar
- disable Samsung Pay
- remove autorisations for ALL apps to overlay on other apps (screenshot)
- change default keyboard (with swiftkey & Gboard)
I've turn my display to night theme to highlight these sidebar, but they're still there in day mode.
I'm now out of idea... the fact it don't show up in safe mode would orient me to app issue. But due to overlay settings no apps are supposed to being able to do this (except secure folders that can't be disabled)... I have many apps it would be painful to remove /reinstall them...
Did anyone already faces similar issue?
Any idea on how to fix it, or where to dig for?
Thanks a lot in advance for your feedbacks, any help will be highly appreciated

I have the very same problem. By using instragram, I have noticed that I cannot click the like button when the like button is near the white bar. So I am thinking that the white bar shows where the edge of the display is disabled to block "unwanted" touch. I also find it very annoying. Help?
Resolved. Before the Pie update, I have installed here from XDA a package of various apps ported from Pie I think. I had to uninstall the one called something like "one hand +". Once uninstalled, the two bars got removed.
Ohhhh Thanks for your fix !!!!
I've dig around Good lock features yesterday, but forget this one.
Problem solved!

How to remove back and recents gestures?

I'm trying to emulate Android 10 gestures and I'm pretty close to that - back gesture from the sides is there, swipe up from home button for recents also can be replicated. The only problem left are the stock back and recents gestures. I would like to get rid of them (and their bars on the hint navbar) and leave only home button with it's bar. And that's the problem, I don't know how to do it.
I can remove home and recent buttons on the regular navbar using ADB, but this method doesn't affect gestures, I guess it stores the setup for that somewhere else, any ideas where is it or at least how to find it out? I don't have root unfortunately.
I don't want to use third-party apps for that because they all seem clunky for me, I have to disable the navbar by resizing it to 0 which breaks the hard press home button which I want to keep
