Nova as default Launcher not sticking after Android 10 update. - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

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,

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.

[Q] right app icon from app drawer missing after restart

Hello all. Just installed omnirom on my nexus 7 flo and everything works fantastic. There is a little problem whose solution i couldnt find even after hours of searching. My right app icon in app drawer disappers everytime i reboot. It doesnt matter which app icon i put in there. Only the right icon deappears.
Details
Device: nexus 7 2013 16gb
Firmware: omnirom 4.2.2(official)
Recovery: twrp 2.6.0
Gapps: pa gapps( stock 270 mb)
Launcher: omnirom default
anyone help
Please anyone help. This bug is killing me its so annoying
Disappearing icon
My last icon on the right also disappears. I'm using an Xperia tablet Z, SGP311.
I love the ROM. Android development is completely alien to me but when I have time I'll start over on the XDA university site. Now I just have to build one of those signatures that says what my device is and all that.
Your right app icon? Can you screenshot or something?

Here is a screenshot
For what it's worth, this affects all users (at least on flo) and not just the primary or last accessed one.

I'm having the same problem on the Nexus 10.
Great rom apart from this minor annoyance!
FWIW, I'm using Nova Launcher on Nexus 10 with dock set to have 6 icons and I'm not having this problem. Could be an issue with a specific launcher or setting, hard to know without more information from those having the problem.
New quick settings tile editing option is great!

Stock launcher. Ie the launcher that came when i installed omnirom. I didnt install any other launcher, but now i am considering to switch to other launcher. I have tried many free launchers before but didnt like most of them. Care to suggest a simple launcher without any annoyances(like ads and pay to unlock certain feature)??

Nova. It's brilliant. There are some features which are only available in the paid version but nothing that affects the use of the launcher.
Oh, and the disappearing icon is not an Omni problem - its a problem with the GEL itself.

+1 on Nova. I had a low-spec device a couple years ago and tried all the popular launchers at the time. Nova seemed fastest, easiest to use, and has useful features. As far as I know the free version doesn't have ads and has plenty of good features. Nova Prime has some additional gestures that can be set to open favorite apps, which I love, because I like a clean home screen.

Disappearing Widgets (all of them)

Hi Everybody,
I'm stock unrooted and still waiting for the 6.0.1 update.
Starting yesterday, all of my widgets began just disappearing. I put them back, and and later in the day they're gone again. Three of them on two different home screens.
Anybody experience or heard about this?
I've been having this exact same issue I don't know why but I'll set up my widgets and then at what seems to random times usually days apart the widgets just disappear and I can't readd them to the home screen as they are no longer in the widget selector in the Google launcher. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot and then the widget appear in the selector again and I have set them up again. I'm on 6.0.1 and still getting this issue
Me too. I had the same issue after the 6.0.1 update.

Google Now Cards Disappearing Too?
I am experiencing the same phenomenon with my widgets randomly disappearing on my Nexus 6P running rooted but stock 6.0.1. I thought it might have had something to do with me having Gravity Box installed with Xposed Framework and enabling the "resize any widget" function.
Additionally, all of my Google Now cards disappear and won't reappear unless I disable cards and then reenable them. Anyone having issues with their cards disappearing as well?
Stock 6P on 6.01 and someone keeps swiping my widgets too! Sometimes it's just one other times it's a couple and others it's all of them.
Seriously anyone have any insight into this??
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Any update, anyone? This is driving me crazy!
I did a factory data reset and thought this problem was fixed. But then it happened again shortly after I plugged into Android auto. Anyone else using Android auto? Maybe that is the (or a) trigger.
Sounds like a launcher issue to me. I have been using Nova launcher most of the time since I have had my 6P, and I have not experienced it. Sounds like a bug in Google Launcher. If you guys are using Google Launcher, switch to a different launcher, set it as your default, set your apps and widgets up, restart your phone. See if it happens any over the next couple days.
Downloaded Nova launcher and they haven't disappeared since and it's been a day. Fingers crossed. It was happening up to three times a day before.
Update: It is definitely the Google Now launcher causing the issue. It's been several days now and not one widget has disappeared since switching to Nova launcher.
Sent from Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Mine still unpredictably disappear. Sometimes I'll go weeks without incident, and then sometimes I'll have to replace them days in a row. Sometimes just one goes, sometimes all at once. However, without fail my Google Calendar agenda widget remains unaffected. It's always there. I actually switched to it from Event Flow because I don't have to worry about it disappearing, even though the Event Flow widget is way better.
Maybe N will fix this when it finally hits.

I get this on my moto x pure too. Drives me insane. Any stock widget stays, third party vanish
Same issue

No way mate, really, just this??? I tried and it worked, also removing the SD card was giving the same result, but better uninstalling nova that to have issues with the sd card. Your great man, thanks
Nova isn't causing this for me on the beta :S weird.
I ran Nova fine with the reader
Had the same delayed fingerprint unlock issue. Went away after replacing Nova which has been my default launcher for years.

Uninstalling Nova didn't actually get rid of
the fingerprint delay. I eventually figured out it was my immersive mode settings which causes issues on open beta. Changed the settings and the fingerprint to wake works great.

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This just hides the navbar but replacing navigation with full will hide both navbar and status bar with no fingerprint delay.

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

Nope using Nova and not happening here, locking any way and unlocking and the last app left open is still open.

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.
