Loop in home screen - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

so,
anybody know how to set loop in the home screens?
is it possible?
tnx.

When say loop are you referring to continuous scrolling? If so, I don't think that is possible with the stock launcher. You can do it with some of the other launchers like Nova which is what I use.

[Q] Getting Easy Home after back button use?

Hi,
Using Nova Prime. I'm noticing the phone going to the cartoonish Samsung Easy Home a lot when I back out of certain apps or widgets.
Example - insert a Gmail 3x3 widget. Tap a message (which loads the Gmail app). Now try to back button out to your home screen. You get Samsung Easy Home and not your actual default launcher. This happens even with the stock TouchWiz Home as default too.
Anyone else seeing this?
I'm using Nova Prime also and that has never happened to me.
Have had the same thing happen even though easy home is turned off in settings. With Stock launcher

Unlocking phone brings me random apps

Okay so recently upon unlocking my phone instead of going to the home screen the first thing will be a random app -- sometimes the browser, sometimes Twitter ,sometimes another app, any thoughts?

Are you using the Samsung way to lock your phone ? With the power button ? Don't you use any third-party app to lock it ?

is it possible your launcher crashed/closed?
it sounds very much like the behavior of Android when there's no launcher app running in the background, and can be replicated by updating your launcher through the play store.

Weather and Nova Launcher

Does anybody know if the Pixel style weather widget on the Nova Launcher home screen works on the OnePlus 5? As far as I can tell I have everything enabled correctly but the weather won't show up. I've read that this feature doesn't work on Samsung phones. Does it also not work on the OnePlus 5 or am I missing something?

Works for me. You have it enabled in the labs menu under Nova settings?

Yes I did. The option to choose to display the weather on the home page doesn't show up unless you enable it in labs first. Maybe I'm missing a permission or setting somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Are you running stock unrooted?
Restarting Nova Launcher from within Nova Settings immediately fixed the issue. ☺

OOS 9.0.4 After update 6T unlocks to Homescreen everytime

Anyone else exhibiting this behaviour ?... reboot does not resolve the issue for me..
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/co...home_screen_almost/?utm_source=reddit-android
Edit:The best way to recreate this behavior is using recents to go into any app then turn off the screen using power button,...then using power button (faceunlock) or tap and fingerprint to turn screen on again, ......phone reverts to homescreen instead of the app.
I believe that it's by nature.
I have the same thing happening with the OP6 on Open Beta 6.

If its happening with the OP6 too then I would say they both have the bug, It can't be normal functioning for the unlock to revert to homescreen only when you happened to have used recents to enter an app.
To be clear when you open an app normally, then lock and unlock you stay in the app, however if you use recents to go into an app that you recently used or even the one you are now, then lock and unlock, you are taken to the homescreen.
No, mine happens when I lock the device with power button or have the screen time out, I unlock it and it goes back to the home screen.
This started with open beta 6, which is loosely based on 6T (9.0.4).
Hey guys, was experiencing the same issue on my OnePlus 6T as well. As it turns out, the issue is with the custom launcher.
If you use a custom launcher such as Nova or Action, the issue persists.

However, with the stock OnePlus Launcher, there is no such issue.
New OnePlus Launcher update fixes the problem.. OP Launcher 3.1.2.181109163305

Do we still need to use oneplus launcher for it to work? I am using nova launcher.
Update. Nevermind the update fixed my issue too and I am using Nova.
I’m having the same issue on 9.0.5 no matter using stock launcher or Nova.
When unlocked goes straight to home screen for example using double tap.
Only when using fingerprint sensor and use double tap does not go to straight to home screen but to lock screen(both stock launcher or Nova)
With my 5T when used double tap to wake never went straight to home screen when not had fingerprint active.
OnePlus launcher 3.1.2 9th of November released.
Nova version 6 beta 5.

Make sure you have the updated OnePlus Launcher from PlayStore (Version 3.1.2.181109163305) (sorry didn't read the last part of your post)
If issue still persists I would recommend clear cache from recovery and Clear Storage and Cache from OnePlus Launcher app.. (this did it for another person that was saying updated launcher didn't fix issue straight away)

Clearing cache from recovery would be faster, and maybe it'll work ...who knows...give it a try before the whole reset thing

Now both Nova and stock launcher when pressing double tap to wake go to lock screen not straight to home screen
What a mess and bizzard issue was
Never mind problem solved and that's matter at the end
Nope using Nova and not happening here, locking any way and unlocking and the last app left open is still open.

Nova as default Launcher not sticking after Android 10 update.

I am a Nova Prime user for 5 or 6 years now. Everything was working fine with Nova as my default Launcher on Android 9 on the S10+.
This morning after the CSKP OTA update I have to validate the default Launcher every time I press home after the phone went to sleep. If I press home multiple time in a relatively short period of time it will work as intended, but after the phone goes to sleep (left unattended for 15 min) then I will have to revalidate the default Launcher
I try to set the default in Settings/app/default app or in Settings/app/Nova/Set as default but that do not fix it.
I have seems multiple people with this issue online, but no fixes for it.
I rather not have to factory reset...
Thanks for your help
Go in settings- apps -one ui Home and in
Home Screen set Nova as default.
It worked for me
Working for me too.
Hi,
Nova prime user also, have had no problems all the way through the 7 betas with Nova as Launcher,

I've abandoned Nova with the UI 10 update, poor

Did you guys come from the beta? I came from Pie and Nova has been so smooth. There's also a new Nova beta out this morning that might help.
