Issues with Nova Launcher - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

I have never faced this issue on any of my devices till now.
On my Mi 9T whenever i open an app and try to swipe up to go back/close app, I always gets redirected to Nova settings page instead. However if I swipe from left or right to go back things works normally.
Need to know if this behavior is fixable?
I have also attached a screen recording video showing the issue.
Edit: not sure if Video is visible to anyone, will try to upload somewhere else and share the URL here.

Gestures? See if you set some up in Nova

it's under Nova launcher settings> Gestures and input> Gestures> swipe up. But I don't think it's an options to swipe up to go back/close. You can disable going to settings by swiping up tho

Gestures are not the issue here. I have already tinkered around that before posting here.
It's something else, maybe a Nova launcher bug/compatibility issue with MIUI.
Can any of you install Nova and test the same thing for me? Would really appreciate!
Thanks in advance!

I have nova launcher prime and I have no such problem.

i dont have this problem but i have encountered it on a friend's poco. if i recall, the way to solve this issue to go to settings > full screen display > full screen mode > nova launcher
let me know if that helps!

I was having an issue with the nova app drawer or app search accidently opening instead of the MIUI recent apps, when on the main screen.
This is only relevant with MIUI gestures ofc.
The solution was to disable the nova floating app search bar.
Works flawlessly now.

Problem with third party launcher?

Is anyone experiencing this with a third party launcher, Nova launcher to be exact?
When I click the multi-task button (say, to adjust the brightness), I can't get back directly to the Home screen. If I press the Home or Back key, it takes me to the last app I was using (even when I came from the Home screen).
I went back to the Stock launcher and did not have this issue.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Hello, you are not alone. I have experience the same thing. I submit the feedback to leeco and they cannot reproduce the problem you and I have. I even attached the video and show it to them. Still nothing. Are you also experience red screen when power to turn off the screen? You can see it on light background or app is running in front of you. Just wondering. Take a look at this thread I have talk to le engineer about this. http://bug.letv.com/us/ue/feedback/detail/A20165FC11YTC20

You're also having this issue with Stock launcher? I only experience this with Nova.
And for the red screen issue, I just tried a few times with light background apps and did not see it.

Yes, it was weird at first. Now it is fine. I still have problem with nova. Take a look in this thread I post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-red-screen-occur-t3511080 I attached the slow motion video zip in there, you will see what I am talking about.
I have the same problem as well but I can confirm its from having nova as a greenified app.

Mine is also on 5.19 US. I may try to reinstall Nova and see if it resolves the issue. Can you please confirm something for me? Do you have the Uninstall button activated when you go to the App Management for Nova? Mine's grayed out so I can't do a normal uninstall from App Management.

Go to open by default and clear default. The uninstall button is not grey out anymore.
That's strange. I don't have this issue with nova launcher or stock launcher.

I did this and the uninstall button is still grayed out. I even set the launcher back to the Stock one.
I went to the Play store and try to uninstall from there, but instead of Uninstall button, I see a Deactivate. I clicked on it and it says "Nova is a Device Admin and must be deactivated before it can be uninstalled". Any idea on how I can deactivate it?
Nevermind, I found it.

Go to system setting. Click on fingerprint & password. Then tap on Other security options. Then Device administrators. On it, you should able to see nova launcher on the list and deactivate it.

Guys, he has given the solution long ago. Make sure Nova is being able to run in the background. Disable it on the app protection list and this problem should go away.
Nova Launcher 5.0 breaking recent apps
Updated to Nova Launcher 5.0 (released Dec 13) and it looks like the launcher is now disappearing from the Recent Apps menu again on the Pro3. Did the usual setting checks - enable run in background, disable app cleaning, uninstall/reinstall Nova, reboot etc.
Checking if anyone else has this problem and if there's any new Nova settings that might cause this.
Thanks.

Curious. Have you rebooted your phone since the update from yesterday?
Fair warning - I think mine started to happen after rebooting.

At previous version i didn't notice trouble. On 5.0 I notice. Try to solve.
I notice the difference when looking at recent apps but I don't have any issues with Nova working properly.

Action Launcher

I got my M3 today and like it a lot. However I don't like the EMUI launcher / interface and installed Action Launcher 3 instead but cannot seem to make it the default and it keeps reverting to EMUI. In Action Launcher settings there's an option to make it the default launcher but this doesn't seem to have any effect. Has anyone had this issue and, if so, how did you solve it?Thanks.
Hey there,
I'm using action launcher myself, here is how to make it stick as default.
1. Home, settings, apps
2. Advanced -> default app settings
3. select action launcher

That will work with any launcher that you want to try too. I think it's funny how they seem to hide that feature in settings and it's usually the first major change that people do to EMUI.... I found out from my Honor 5X so I had a slight had start on it. Hopefully they will have the New launcher in the N update that still use EMUI launcher but give you the option to change to an app drawer. That way we can still use the EMUI themes. Once you use a different launcher you can't apply any of the themes.

KnockON

Anyone else having problems with KnockON not working? I have it enabled but tapping on the phone isn't turning phone off.
Using the stock launcher?
No issues here. I'm using Nova. Not sure that launcher matters though...

Do you have nova setting an administrator account? Nobody else has been able to get knock off in nova to work without either hitting the status bar or setting an administrator account which overrides the fingerprint sensor.
To turn the screen off using the KnockOn feature, I double tap the status bar. (using Nova launcher)

I knock the status bar. I thought that's how it works. But I never even tried the stock launch so maybe it works everywhere.

Ok thats why I asked if he's using the stock launcher. In that one you can knock anywhere.
Go to Settings > Display and scroll down to make sure the Knock On feature toggle is turned on.
Good luck!

Thanks but I have that turned on and I'm using Nova Launcher.
I use Nova Launcher as well and have had no problems with either knocking on or off. You probably already know this, but just in case....
There is also a setting in Nova Launcher that assigns what Nova does when you double tap. It's in Nova Settings > Gestures & Inputs. Mine is set to "screen lock" when I double tap. Good luck!

Wallpaper Motion Effect Option Gone

It seems for some reason I don't get the motion effect option toggle anymore when I set up a static wallpaper.
When I first set up the phone, the option was there. Then after a few hours I tried another wallpaper and now the option is permanently gone. No restarts, clearing theme cache or resetting settings manage to bring back the option toggle. Not even using the same picture.
Anybody else experiencing this?

You're a friggin genius!!! Thank you. That was bugging me to no end.
Thanks, I was wondering where the option had gone! It must have been cleared when I tried the Pixel launcher.
I had the same issue today, where I couldn't understand why the motion effect was gone. Then I remembered it had something to do when I installed Nova Launcher. I tried the launcher but I didn't quite like it so I deleted it. I went to settings and checked if touchwiz was checked on and it was not. Always Make sure touchwiz is your default home screen. Simple little thing that can really make you go nuts. It's working great now.

Motion Effect Issue
Hi everyone,
I called Samsung technical support and they told me within 2 mins now to fix the Wallpaper Motion Effect Issue.
These are the steps to follow..
1- Settings
2- Apps
3- The top right hand corner has a tab with 3 dots, hit that and go to "Default Apps.
4- Go to "Home Screen
5- Final step is, after going to "Home Screen" make sure "Touchwiz Home" is selected. If it's not Select it and that will fix the "motion effect" issue.
??
Hope that helps.

Nova Launcher Prime Homescreen issues

Hello,
I have been using Nova Launcher Prime for months, and the only issue i am experiencing is that, it cannot add icons to the homescreen from the Google Playstore, and most especially, the shortcut to the Facebook groups i am managing.
This is the only setting in Nova that I have found and as you may see, it is already active but i am still having the same problem. Any help, please?

Is the setting is ticked in your Playstore app ?
If yes untick it, because if not, the icon is added to your Huawei Launcher instead, even if it's not your default launcher
Hi,
Yes indeed it was ticked. But now, i already unticked it.
The thing that I am also trying to figure out was about the Facebook groups that I am trying to share at the homescreen, but like what you have said exactly, it goes to the Huawei default launcher, and not on Nova.
Thanks for replying to my query btw ?
