Something weird just happened to me. Before I was on Gingerblur and when I press the home button, the screen would go back o default screen. If I started off from the default screen and then pressed the home button. then the Dub screens would appear. Now that option is gone. The only why I can bring up my sub screens is if I press the app drawer icon in motoblur. If I press the home screen, nothing happens. Is this a bug or can this be easily corrected in the settings. Please advise. Thanls
Once you install gingerblur you get the stock gingerbread launcher which does no support that function. Try installing ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro from the Market.

I reverted back to stock so now all I have done to the phone is aRoot. It worked in the beginning, but now it doesn't.
So I liked it when the home screen didn't auto-rotate, now with the recent update it auto-rotates. Is there any way to revert back to where only the Home screen did not auto-rotate?
I’m not talking about the locking the rotate function as this locks it for everything not just the home screen, I want to restore the original function that only locked the home screen in portrait mode and auto-rotated to landscape when using any other apps such as the browser and what not.
Thanks!

An option would be to install a launcher like apex, which is nearly the same as stock but with a few tweaks. Then force portrait orientation in its settings. This is what I have done
Holo launcher or trebuchet are more similar to stock launcher and have the possibility to disable auto-rotation

Thanks guys. So I take it there is no way to revert the default launcher back to the way it was? What a bummer.
Nova launcher seems to be the only one that works on JB but its based on the ICS launcher and not JB. Not really a solution.

All of these launchers are optimized to run with JB, you can feel comfortable, if you want to return to the original home just go to settings-applications then open the launcher that you decided to use and press the button "delete default"
I changed to 305ppi working fine
then I revert back to 149 (the device's native) now my launcher would force close all the time.
Now I can't launch anything, can't even change back
what could I do.... please help!!!
I had a problem where the launcher would crash repeatedly and I'd have to hit Ok or something. The system did work though so I was able to navigate to settings, while constantly hitting OK (to accept my launcher had crashed again).
In settings I was able to remove the Set as default option from the launcher and so the next time I hit Home I was asked to select a launcher - Here I chose another one and all was OK.
I installed ADW launcher and it launched just fine, but the stock browser, holo, go, and the likes are not, ADW is the only one
Also I couldn't get Chrome to run anymore, constantly crash, just like the stock launcher....
The icon in ADW is also 75% smaller, which I have no clue to fix or reverse this
grr
Hey so the Android Pie recents is total utter crap. Is there an easy way to get an alternate recents? Maybe a build.prop edit? I'm rooted Btw so can try many a thing. Thanks!
P.S. Gonna probably go back to buttons too because the gesture for recents drives me nuts.
I would like to know also, but I'm not rooted. The scrolling in it is terrible. If i swipe too fast, it goes through several windows at once. If i scroll too slowly, it bounces the same window back in. I can't use navigation bar because i use long-press of home button to turn off screen.
If you guys are rooted, install a second launcher and Freeze the Oneplus Launcher. You will be back to the old recent. Enable the buttons as well.

It's a pie feature that is built in in the default launcher
On the odd occasion a launcher can go whack, if you have another it will automatically go to it or bring you a toast to go to it.It's a rare occurrence but for this reason it's good to always have two functioning launchers, you don't need to set the spare up, it's just there for an emergency till you can get home or whatever and figure out why your launcher is hung. I've diabled the stock launcher myself and use Action but picked up a spare on the play store just in case.
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.

Works flawless on my device
Do you use 120hz display settings or 60hz?

120hz
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.
