Well, I this bought this cellphone a few months ago, and today I tryed a new Launcher. In the Android Market I downloaded the Launcher Pro (free version) and the Zeam Launcher.
So, after install they, I long-pressed in TouchWiz homescreen and selected the "Actives", with a home icon. I selected this and appeared a black screen. I just used 'back' button and for my surprise the TouchWiz was in landscape view!
I don't know at all, but isn't possible, right?
Now, everytime I put the phone on horizontal in TW the screen become in landscape.
It's a bug or it's normal?
P.S.: And sorry for my english lol

I installed the launchers, just it.
I think Launcher Pro caused this.
Hello all. Just installed omnirom on my nexus 7 flo and everything works fantastic. There is a little problem whose solution i couldnt find even after hours of searching. My right app icon in app drawer disappers everytime i reboot. It doesnt matter which app icon i put in there. Only the right icon deappears.
Details
Device: nexus 7 2013 16gb
Firmware: omnirom 4.2.2(official)
Recovery: twrp 2.6.0
Gapps: pa gapps( stock 270 mb)
Launcher: omnirom default
anyone help
Please anyone help. This bug is killing me its so annoying
Disappearing icon
My last icon on the right also disappears. I'm using an Xperia tablet Z, SGP311.
I love the ROM. Android development is completely alien to me but when I have time I'll start over on the XDA university site. Now I just have to build one of those signatures that says what my device is and all that.
Your right app icon? Can you screenshot or something?

For what it's worth, this affects all users (at least on flo) and not just the primary or last accessed one.

I'm having the same problem on the Nexus 10.
Great rom apart from this minor annoyance!
FWIW, I'm using Nova Launcher on Nexus 10 with dock set to have 6 icons and I'm not having this problem. Could be an issue with a specific launcher or setting, hard to know without more information from those having the problem.
New quick settings tile editing option is great!

+1 for the Nexus 10 with the GEL Launcher. Doesn't effect Nova Launcher regardless of # of rows/columns.

Stock launcher. Ie the launcher that came when i installed omnirom. I didnt install any other launcher, but now i am considering to switch to other launcher. I have tried many free launchers before but didnt like most of them. Care to suggest a simple launcher without any annoyances(like ads and pay to unlock certain feature)??

Nova. It's brilliant. There are some features which are only available in the paid version but nothing that affects the use of the launcher.
Oh, and the disappearing icon is not an Omni problem - its a problem with the GEL itself.

+1 on Nova. I had a low-spec device a couple years ago and tried all the popular launchers at the time. Nova seemed fastest, easiest to use, and has useful features. As far as I know the free version doesn't have ads and has plenty of good features. Nova Prime has some additional gestures that can be set to open favorite apps, which I love, because I like a clean home screen.

Thanks. Im using nova launcher right now without any problems. Backups and restore is an important feature which I liked very much. What the hell is wrong with google, not fixing this bug till now
After I updated to Oreo I noticed that most of my apps were missing from the app scaling list, and the scaling button on the nav bar is not there when I open the app.
Whereas on Nougat I could force any app to go fullscreen from this menu, I seem to be stuck with black bars now on some apps, e.g. fruit ninja.
Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks.

Hello. Today I updated LG G6 via LG Bridge to Android 8.0. Well, 1 app (Angry Birds Epic) has wrong aspect ratio. The edges are cut off. I check option "app scalling", but there is option for that game. I use Home and app drawer launcher. What else can I do ?

? Wonder how the drawer background could cause the app not to scale properly
I am using evie launcher, I have tried to force all app scaling to 18:9 and still cant get the launcher to have the home group buttons transparent. It used to work but not with oreo. Any help?
I think we're helpless unless LG releases an update or some dev makes a workaround.
Just in case anyone else likes using evie launcher but has been annoyed by it not scaling properly. (Or anyone that just likes the search feature of evie) I found an app called Fast Finder that I bound to a swipe gesture in Nova Launcher. It's a pretty good app, could use more customization but I'm hopeful that the dev will improve it.
Basically, I gave up on trying to get it scaled properly.
Does anyone have a work around or. apk for Task Changer (Good Lock)? After update to One UI 3.0 Android 11, it is not compatible.
Wich item is that? Every item on Goodlock seem to be working for me.

Not OP, and I have a different phone (n10+), but I have the same issue.
Task Changer is the Good lock app that lets you customize the recent apps screen.
Good lock still shows is as installed, but trying to open it just shows a messaging saying "Congrats on updating! Task Changer isn't compatible, please wait for an update."

It's nice that some form of Task Changer is working on One UI 3, but the one in Home Up only works when using One UI Home, so it's no good for people using alternative launchers.

Actually it is working with 3rd party launchers (tested with Nova, new Lawnchair alpha and Ruthless). You have to use stock launcher first, then set radio changer up for the first time. Then switch launcher and don't deactivate/uninstall the stock one in the background. Now you can use it with custom launcher and also make changes without switching again. But the features of the app are still pretty limited. I am disappointed with 3.1 so far. Samsung has screwed up for me. Performance/animations are horrible. I went back to 2.5 a few times now and am really annoyed with that. When using a 3rd party launcher I also have the issue that when opening recent apps there is a latency and the background same as the recent apps are popping in after a second. Can anyone confirm this? Plain ugly... There is definitely an ongoing issue with 3rd party launcher integration.

Ah, I hadn't tried swapping back to the stock launcher temporarily.
I'll have to try that out then, anything is better than the default recents screen.
I do agree though, it's lacking in options compared to Task Changer.
While I'm not going to rollback to 2.5 over it, I really hope it gets 3.0 support soon.

wait, how did you manage to go back to 2.5, didn't you change the bootloader when you upgraded to 11?

This is now a long time ago. But if I remember correctly there have been a few oneui3.x versions that didn't change the bootloader so it was easy to get back to 2.5. Unfortunately there has been a later update which changed the bootloader on a 3.x version and a downgrade wasn't possible anymore. So if you're on the latest software update I guess it's not possible. At least not the easy. I don't know a way that would allow it.
Hello,
I'm used to Nova Launcher and physical buttons for many years. Since I switched to the OP8P I use on-screen gestures and OP launcher.
Today I tried Nova and opening the recent apps screen takes more time than the stock launcher and it's not smooth.
Is it a known limitation?
Thank you.
Demo: https://drive.proton.me/urls/Q2J16AZKNG#EyyLTmEtkOYW
Works flawless on my device
Do you use 120hz display settings or 60hz?

It only happens when I open the recent apps from the homescreen. No problem from Firefox for example.
Did you tweak something in Nova to improve the gestures?
As a workaround, I now open the recent apps screen with a swipe up from the homescreen.
No I didn't change anything,
I normaly use the 3 buttons but I tested it with the gestures earlier and it works super fast.
Thats what it looks like

Same as Deavy already said, I also don't have that delay. I am still on OOS 11 though, so I can't speak for any newer versions.

OK so it seems you have the same problem.
With OP stock launcher, you can swipe up then hold to the left to directly switch to another app.
With Nova launcher, you cannot hold and directly switch to another app. You have to release your finger then press again to select another app.
Ok than it´s normal behavior in nova launcher i would say.
Im not familiar with gestures, but couldnt you switch between apps with a swipe from the left or right side directly?

Sure I can. Not a big deal to press again the screen to select an app but it's not as good as OP launcher.
