Swiping left or right on home to switch apps doesn’t work.
Swiping up on home to bring recent apps works so so. It’s slow to trigger or have to swipe almost at top of the screen.
Going back to home is also slow. Wallpaper is immediately show but icons take 3/4 seconds to appear. With buttons it’s instant.
With other apps no problem.
I am using nova latest beta on Android 14 with a OnePlus 12. As it is fairly recent maybe it still need optimization.
I’ve had to give up on KISS launcher recently because of this. 95% of the time it works fine, until it scrolls right to the end of the lost and won’t allow you to scroll back. Swiping left and right then also breaks and the only thing to do is force stop quickstep.
EDIT: Just tried with Niagara and got the same issue almost immediately. (Seems to be triggered by opening recent apps from the launcher itself)
For reference, I’m on a Fairphone 5 using the stock ROM
Nova Launcher (7) works without problems on my Pixel 8 Pro. On my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gestures with Nova were broken somehow, but now with the Pixel it’s fine again.
huh interesting currently using two pixels one with stock with Niagara and one on graphene with kiss I haven’t had that seemingly it’s phone based which is weird based on comments
Use nova for years, but never found an of the features beneficial. I’ve been using One UI since moving to the s24u and I have noticed no real difference in functionality.
folders, grid size, customising badge notifications, dock size, multiple docks, multiple tab pages in app drawer, hide icons in app drawer, drawer groups, etc. those are some of the things i like in nova :)
I don’t know what’s required for KLWP support in a launcher, but KLWP is a live wallpaper with touch interaction. Don’t know if stock support that on my phone. But some cool setup like media player functionality, time and such, in the font and size I want. And some other disguised shortcuts.
But for me in actual Nova, it being able to style app icons individually, swipe actions on app icons, and the dock at the bottom being able to slide to have more apps. And pretty standard now, but swipe up for app drawer and down for notifications. It works especially well with OnePlus gestures that I’m still holding on to.
I’m on Nova, but I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. Also played with it abit, I think I just wanted to tweak the pull down gestures a little more then default.

Am I the only one that uses lightning launcher? I think I should switch.
Yes they are still needed
I mean no, I don’t need a third party launcher, but I really don’t want to use the stock one.
Yes!
Yes even though android gestures are not working correctly with them and it’s best to revert to 3 buttons navigation.
Works fine with Niagara. What exactly is it not doing right?

On Niagara and I’ve never experienced any of those issues at any point.

It’s been years since this was an issue for any launcher still actively being updated, at least on the Poco and Fairphones I’ve had in that time.
Yes.
Yup.
Yes.
Yep.
Yes.
unless you want android to turn into ios then yes
there’s so much i can do in nova that i can’t do in one ui or the pixel launcher

Grid size is the big one for me, it’s so nice

“Do you still need to be allowed to decorate and modify your own home?”
Yes.
Yes.
I’ve been using Niagara launcher. This launcher is has been great for larger screens and I can use the phone one handed.
i fucking love niagara.
Although i’ve started to use Kvaesitso instead in recent times.

I don’t think it has any customizations for pull down gestures. Would be nice to have for certain people.
Yes and KISS
This is a gross violation of Betteridge’s law of headlines.
I agree
