Recent apps background overlay not reaching to bottom of screen - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was playing around with some of the Nova Launcher settings, and I noticed that this occurred. I tried reverting my settings in Nova Launcher, but it hasn't fixed it. Does anyone know how to fix this little issue? Thanks.
EDIT: I solved it. Just had to reset the DPI back to default.

[Q] Nightly Pac Man Rom Build with Trebuchet issue

I am running pac_scorpionmini-nightly-20131017. For the last few nightly builds, starting a couple of builds before the few days of failed builds, I have been having an issue with trebuchet. When I go to my home screen, all of the icons and widget disappear. I go to recent apps and clear trebuchet and then press home again and everything shows back up. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

It sounds like you're getting a conflict with another launcher. It seems like a different launcher is trying to work when you press the home button. I would go into Trebuchet settings and make it your default launcher. I would also use TiBU to freeze any other launchers that might be included in the ROM.

I had a launcher for my Car Home Ultra app. I removed the defaults for it. My issue has improved but instead of closing trebuchet and pressing the home button again I can now go to the apps menu and back to home and everything shows back up. I may do a factory wipe to see if that helps. As far as I can tell there are no other launchers except the one I mentioned.
Thanks for the help.

Yeah, Same problem here. I went to the trebuchet settings and ticked "Hide icon labels" and this stopped the problem but I'm not sure if it for sure works or if i managed to get lucky enough for the icons to not disappear Thats all i know to do to fix this, Hopefully someone will find a a REAL solution!

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.

Haven't had any issues whatsoever with Nova launcher. I actually have app cleaning on all my apps. Weird

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

I notice the difference when looking at recent apps but I don't have any issues with Nova working properly.

Status Quick Setting Icons Gone?!?!?

I have no idea how this happened. Running 7.1.1 Nova Launcher with KLWP background.
The quick settings icons are all gone besides wifi and carrier data.
Any ideas on what may have caused this? Any solutions?

Not sure where those are gone...
Maybe a workaround:
Tap on the pen between your photo and the gear icon, you can edit: add/remove quick tiles from here.
Are all your icons here?
Good luck...
I had that happen to me on Nova Launcher when I enabled Dark Icons for the Notification Bar under look and feel when I was using a dark theme or night mode, don't remember which. The icons were still there but I couldn't see them until I disabled dark icons.
Thank you guys, I was able to get the icons back by going through the pencil and re-adding them.

Nova Launcher switches to One UI when i clear recent apps

Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James
Did you perhaps got sd card installed? Usually if the app installed on sd card, it will revert back to default launcher whenever you restart.
I have also had this happen to me recently, happens generally when I have recently restarted the phone for a couple of hours and then it won't happen, really odd. It started happening after the November update. And to @Zac3 I don't have a sd card installed.
Same here !!! It bugs even out sometimes, switch automatic to One UI Launcher, and i can not open sometimes my recents Apps, i had cleared so many times data and cache, but nothing seems working.
Also when i got Nova immersive in settings, it shows me the black bar at the top of the screen, that also doesnt seem to work.
