I'm new to launchers and I'm giving apex launcher a go. One thing that has been annoying me is whenever I click a notification and exit the app that opens it reverts to the stock launcher. Is there anything I can do about that? Is it the same with other launchers?

Maybe the default launcher is set as to default. Try going into settings and finding the default launcher app and click clear defaults. There should also be an option somewhere in the Apex Launcher settings that allow you to make it your default launcher. That way it'll stick. I've been using Apex on my galaxy SII and nexus 7 since I got them and it's been working great for me so if you can figure it out, stick around for a bit, I'm sure you'll like it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I already have it as default launcher. The home button works fine and goes to apex, its just literally when I've clicked on a notification.

Thats weird, maybe you can try uninstalling and reinstalling if you haven't already. Also make sure you're using the most recent one since anything that is 1.2.x isn't really compatible with jelly bean (the current version is 1.3.1). But like I said earlier, its been working fine for me and I'm sure there would be complaints in the review section in the play store if many others also had this problem so perhaps it just doesn't play well with your nexus. If you're rooted and running custom rom maybe you can try reflashing with a full wipe to make sure to clean up any remaining problems. Thats all I can think of. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Good luck
PS. Nova is pretty good too as well as go launcher so if it doesn't work out, maybe try those to see if the problem continues.
Ah, figured it out. The tablet just needed a restart. It's all working fine now.
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?

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!

+1 for the Nexus 10 with the GEL Launcher. Doesn't effect Nova Launcher regardless of # of rows/columns.

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.

Thanks. Im using nova launcher right now without any problems. Backups and restore is an important feature which I liked very much. What the hell is wrong with google, not fixing this bug till now
Hello.
I'm using PA 4.4.3 RC1 and the GEL is built-in.
I installed Apex launcher and set it as the default but the phone keep asking me which launcher I want to use almost everytime I press the home button.
No matter what I do.
I also tried to disable the GEL with Root Uninstaller Pro and It's still working and keep asking me which launcher to use.
What can I do?

Make sure you have set Apex launcher always and then delete the GEL launcher from root,done. Keep a nandroid just in case

I did set the launcher to run always, and disabled the GEL.
I don't need the GEL right now and I can uninstall it.
If I uninstall it and then dirty flash the Gapps it will bring back the GEL?

make a video of what you are doing because honestly its nothing more than choose home screen and hit always. I understand you may be doing that but it may be difficult for others to fully understand your issue and some visual will help.
or download another launcher and see if it still happens

If it will happen again I will just uninstall the GEL, can I flash Gapps and it will install the GEL again if I want?
Is anyone experiencing this with a third party launcher, Nova launcher to be exact?
When I click the multi-task button (say, to adjust the brightness), I can't get back directly to the Home screen. If I press the Home or Back key, it takes me to the last app I was using (even when I came from the Home screen).
I went back to the Stock launcher and did not have this issue.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Hello, you are not alone. I have experience the same thing. I submit the feedback to leeco and they cannot reproduce the problem you and I have. I even attached the video and show it to them. Still nothing. Are you also experience red screen when power to turn off the screen? You can see it on light background or app is running in front of you. Just wondering. Take a look at this thread I have talk to le engineer about this. http://bug.letv.com/us/ue/feedback/detail/A20165FC11YTC20

Yes, it was weird at first. Now it is fine. I still have problem with nova. Take a look in this thread I post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-red-screen-occur-t3511080 I attached the slow motion video zip in there, you will see what I am talking about.
I have the same problem as well but I can confirm its from having nova as a greenified app.

Mine is also on 5.19 US. I may try to reinstall Nova and see if it resolves the issue. Can you please confirm something for me? Do you have the Uninstall button activated when you go to the App Management for Nova? Mine's grayed out so I can't do a normal uninstall from App Management.

Go to open by default and clear default. The uninstall button is not grey out anymore.
That's strange. I don't have this issue with nova launcher or stock launcher.

I did this and the uninstall button is still grayed out. I even set the launcher back to the Stock one.
I went to the Play store and try to uninstall from there, but instead of Uninstall button, I see a Deactivate. I clicked on it and it says "Nova is a Device Admin and must be deactivated before it can be uninstalled". Any idea on how I can deactivate it?
Nevermind, I found it.

Go to system setting. Click on fingerprint & password. Then tap on Other security options. Then Device administrators. On it, you should able to see nova launcher on the list and deactivate it.

Guys, he has given the solution long ago. Make sure Nova is being able to run in the background. Disable it on the app protection list and this problem should go away.
Nova Launcher 5.0 breaking recent apps
Updated to Nova Launcher 5.0 (released Dec 13) and it looks like the launcher is now disappearing from the Recent Apps menu again on the Pro3. Did the usual setting checks - enable run in background, disable app cleaning, uninstall/reinstall Nova, reboot etc.
Checking if anyone else has this problem and if there's any new Nova settings that might cause this.
Thanks.

Having the same issue after update Nova Launcher 5.0 and rebooted. But also face this issue since beta version. I this happen only the EUI rom because on CM13 its working fine without any issue. Im using X720 on TARS 5.9.20S rom.

At previous version i didn't notice trouble. On 5.0 I notice. Try to solve.
I notice the difference when looking at recent apps but I don't have any issues with Nova working properly.
Does anyone have a work around or. apk for Task Changer (Good Lock)? After update to One UI 3.0 Android 11, it is not compatible.
Wich item is that? Every item on Goodlock seem to be working for me.

Not OP, and I have a different phone (n10+), but I have the same issue.
Task Changer is the Good lock app that lets you customize the recent apps screen.
Good lock still shows is as installed, but trying to open it just shows a messaging saying "Congrats on updating! Task Changer isn't compatible, please wait for an update."

It's nice that some form of Task Changer is working on One UI 3, but the one in Home Up only works when using One UI Home, so it's no good for people using alternative launchers.

Actually it is working with 3rd party launchers (tested with Nova, new Lawnchair alpha and Ruthless). You have to use stock launcher first, then set radio changer up for the first time. Then switch launcher and don't deactivate/uninstall the stock one in the background. Now you can use it with custom launcher and also make changes without switching again. But the features of the app are still pretty limited. I am disappointed with 3.1 so far. Samsung has screwed up for me. Performance/animations are horrible. I went back to 2.5 a few times now and am really annoyed with that. When using a 3rd party launcher I also have the issue that when opening recent apps there is a latency and the background same as the recent apps are popping in after a second. Can anyone confirm this? Plain ugly... There is definitely an ongoing issue with 3rd party launcher integration.

Ah, I hadn't tried swapping back to the stock launcher temporarily.
I'll have to try that out then, anything is better than the default recents screen.
I do agree though, it's lacking in options compared to Task Changer.
While I'm not going to rollback to 2.5 over it, I really hope it gets 3.0 support soon.

wait, how did you manage to go back to 2.5, didn't you change the bootloader when you upgraded to 11?

This is now a long time ago. But if I remember correctly there have been a few oneui3.x versions that didn't change the bootloader so it was easy to get back to 2.5. Unfortunately there has been a later update which changed the bootloader on a 3.x version and a downgrade wasn't possible anymore. So if you're on the latest software update I guess it's not possible. At least not the easy. I don't know a way that would allow it.
