T-mobile 6t + Nova Launcher + swipe gesture question - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Does anyone else get a strange redraw/flash on the screen when using the mentioned combination above? It doesn't always happen but a couple times a day when swiping up to go home the animation looks jittery. I thought it was changing the animation speed in Dev options but it still does it when setting it to 1x. I am using the latest Nova beta build so maybe that is my issue. I never noticed this on my P2XL.

Simple trick to remove lag on Home screen after exiting an app, using Nova launcher

I think this issue started only after Jelly Bean.I'm not sure though.
THE LAG:
-> After exiting an heavy app using Home button, such as Facebook if you swipe left or right there is a minor shutter for 2-3 swipes.
After that the UI becomes fluid.
-> If you are updating/installing many apps and your notification bar is constantly being updated, navigating in home screen is very laggy.
-> If you get a message like "Wifi Connected" or "Message delivered to XYZ", during that brief moment the UI lags.
THE SOLUTION (Using Nova Launcher):
1) Enable Labs in Nova launcher.
How: While in Nova's settings menu, hold volume down for 2-3 seconds. You'll see a toast notification letting you know that Labs was successfully enabled. Similarly, if you wish to disable the new menu for any reason, just hold volume up for 2-3 seconds.
2) Go to labs.
Tick the following two settings:
a. UI Lock
b. Widget Image Cache
That's it. Enjoy the UI smoothness like iOS.
I've tried it for whole day and the battery isn't affected at all. No sacrifice in performance either.
Quick bump!!
Does it work for any one else or is it just a Placebo for me?
It didn't work for me. I still have the stutter.
If you are on nova launcher prime goto advance settings in nova and click on aggressive desktop. No more lags.
Note : nova version should be 2.0 for this

I'm running the brand new Nova beta (2.0.1 beta 1). UI Lock and Widget Image Cache were already ticked/enabled. So it looks like these might be enabled by default in future builds.

[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

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

I do agree the update from the Play Store on the new OnePlus launcher fix my issue. Thanks for pointing this out it was getting really frustrating.

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

ok clear cache from recovery didn't help but hard reset did help.:good:
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.

Slow animations with Nova launcher

Anyone noticed slow animations for app closures when you are using Nova launcher? Any fix or work around?

I notice it. I have been using nova launcher since day one on my 6T. The only slow animation I am facing is if I swype from the bottom centre to go to the home screen from within an app. If I am pressing back or swyping up from bottom right or bottom left, the animations are quick.
I mailed Nova Devs about it, and they said it is not to be fixed from their end but from Oneplus' end. As if you are in another app, Nova does not play any role then. According to them, all third party launchers should be having this. I have not tried any other cuz Nova is just too good otherwise.
Third party launchers do not support OnePlus's gesture animations. Only the stock OnePlus launcher will have the proper animations

I had the same problem with nova and decided to try another launcher (lawnchair) but this has the same issue.
I have noticed with this launcher that the 'ok Google' always shows up in the pill widget where on nova it would often be blank. Don't know why that is.
You can speed up animations in developer options. I set .5x for Window/Transition animation scale, as well as Animator duration scale. That's usually the first thing I do
on a new phone. I can't stand slow animations, and Nova feels so much better with those set

I will be getting my 6T next week...
On all my previous phones (there are many) I have always used Nova Launcher - I really like it particularly the TeslaUnread notification add-on as its great for showing unread message count and on other apps also.
Whats the unread notification like on the 6T ? (I have never had a OnePlus phone before so not sure how they handle this)
Also how is 6T in general with stock launcher - I just find Nova so customisable and it will be hard for me to not use it but I would like to try not to...
Cheers Frosty

No problems with nova
Working great ..animations are fast & smooth
Tesla unread working properly...
Same "problem" with Evie launcher, it's not laggy but compared to oos it's slower, using .5 animation speed fixed it.
Perhaps oos has a 1 in animation that is in reality 0.5 in equivalence to other launchers. Sort of small cheat from oneplus?

Android 11, oxygen 11 final, default launcher won't stick

I noticed on the android 11 final version, and with a fresh install that when setting a home launcher that ain't the OnePlus original launcher. after different amount of time the when going to home, the phone keeps asking for the "what app to set to default"
So with the OnePlus launcher it sticks and won't ask ever again for default launcher.
But with 4 different launchers, Microsoft, Nova and more, after second and more, up to 20 times going to home screen, it asks for what app to set to default launcher?
Any one more than me experiencing this issue?
It's quite annoying to keep seeing the default launcher.... So please write here if you having this issue.
There's another thread regarding that issue and I've posted an answer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83684893&postcount=5.
I had this problem too. I solved it by setting Nova Launcher as default in the Nova Launcher settings... Afterwards i can see it in my OP8pro standard apps as well...
Cheers
Clark
I did that too. However, sometimes the machine switches to the OP Launcher - it must be some kind of error in the system.
Have Nova as default and still watching 11 behavior...
Deliting the launcher and reinstalling, then first time it says would u want nova launcher as default say yes and solved at least for me. Hope messages from developers
I don't know what happened to my phone, but since a few weeks I didn't experienced this issue anymore.
