Android is Starting... pop-up in the middle of screen - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys i might be needing your help. I just downloaded Package disabler pro and disabled most of the unuseful apps specially Bixby related apps. After that I went to home screen and it says "Android is starting..." in the middle of the screen. I can still access notification panel and settings. I just cant make it to my home screen and app drawer, it feels like forever to load.
In-case this will not stop, what are the steps I should do to make it work again? Thank you in advance! :good:

Did you happen to disable the home launcher? If so then you can either send yourself an launcher.apk file by Bluetooth and install. Then access the package disabler and enable the main launcher.

[Q] OmniROM No App Remove or Uninstall Option

Recently installed OmniROM 4.4.4 which works great on Motorola Xoom however there is no REMOVE option for icons on the homescreen or UNINSTALL option for completing removing apps that I've downloaded. Whenever you longpress on an app to uninstall it, it makes a shortcut to the homescreen I've checked all the settings and cant find a solution, has anyone else experienced this issue?

I haven't... Remove should be at the top of the screen.
Xoom is not an officially supported device though.

Keeping Upday or Hello Bixby screen when using nova launcher

So I recently installed the s8 launcher on my s7 edge and am enjoying all the new style and bixby functio ality, however most of the icons are still from the s7 edge, the easiest way around this is to install nova launcher and customise it so it looks like the s8 but then you lose the bixby screen, is there anyway to get around this?
The other way to get the icons would be to download a theme, but i have no idea how to root my device and am scared to do it just incase something goes wrong.
1. Install activity Launcherhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
2. Open It and select All Activities
3. Scroll Up to Hello Bixby and Create shortcut for it to your homescreen
4. Enjoy ! Nova + Bixby
If design is so important check out the S8 theme in the Themes, Apps, Mods section.
Problem with using an activities app is that you dont get the full screen app like in standard touchwiz so is there anyway of making the app into a widget so that it can be made fullscreen?
Ive tried to download the theme,* but it keeps saying that the download failed? Is that because of my account status or the download link?

S8 unlocks to home screen each time instead of opened app

No matter what app I have opened, my S8 unlocks to the home screen. Using action launcher beta. Could they be a launcher problem or phone issue?
I'm not sure, but mine doesn't do that and I'm using Nova launcher. Can't remember on Samsung launcher. Try Nova and just see if it does it. That will rule out ether the phone or launcher

I have the same thing, I've been using Waze lately and whenever I unlock it goes straight to the home screen.
Haven't had the chance to install Nova on my S8, not that I need it too.
Uninstalled action launcher and installed nova prime and its still doing it across stock and installed apps. Trying another restart.
edit: so right now it seams to work 50/50. pattern doesn't open up to the last opened app. It almost always opens to the launcher home screen. fingerprint sensor almost always opens to the last used app, but sometimes doesn't. this is after about 20 unlocks on different apps (messages, audible, samsung browser, play store)
edit 2: so I uninstalled adblock, adhell, and then deleted all folders that were not in use from the "my files" app and then did a restart and that seems to have fixed my issue, at least for now.
Do you use BxActions or any similar apps?

Replace Google App (to left of home screen) with SmartNews?

Question is in the subject.
I'm running a custom ROM (Syberia). I'm glad I can turn off the Google App, which by default shows up to the left of the home screen, activated by a swipe.
I'd like to replace in this space the third-party SmartNews, which I prefer to the info I can get from Google App..
Does anybody know how to make this happen?
I'm also running Magisk, so if there's a Magisk module that does this, I'd like to know.
Thanks.

I think there was a way to do this with root but as I'm on stock I just use Nova Launcher so I could add a widget to left screen & set home screen to right or center screen

Recent Peloton Update on 1/7/21 Blocks App Launching

Hey guys! First post here but long time lurker.
Recently Peloton updated their software and it has apparently blocked app launching using the "About Us" "cheat code" by rapidly pressing the corner of the pop up.
What happens now is that the only app that shows is the WebView Browser Tester-

Any ideas on how to get the other applications to show in the launcher?
Right now I am using a work around by customizing the bottom bar to launch Plex via the back button :|
Thank you!
Ok I found a work around to use nova launcher, which you can access after installing by clicking the "P" button on the lower nav. Once you do, you will be prompted with whether or not to launch Peloton OR Nova. Then later on in Nova settings you can change the default behavior of the home button.
This works for now but super lame that Peloton blocked this :\
I'm running into the same problems. Do you know a method to bring up the home screen without logging into the Peloton app? I've attempted to send specific key events to launch the home screen but that appears to be re-mapped... do you know the app and activity name for the Home Screen launcher?
I'm not able to launch any app even from nova launcher. Nova launches just fine. Any app besides that seems to start and then closes as if something is blocking it.
Any hints for that?
As a workaround, I launch everything from chrome link. Chrome seems to be launching Netfix etc appropriately.
Hitting the P doesn't give me the option for nova launcher on the tread. Is there a trick to getting it to show to ask to change default launcher? Which version of nova launcher are you using?
