That's not true. I removed mine since the beginning, have the latest updates and still use Nova. Something else is wrong.

Really shame on huawei
that s make me make a decision i will never buy a huawei or honor chinese version
by the way i will never buy international version also because must of the time the international version has a lower specification than the Chinese one
the boring huawei launcher is the cause of changing the default launcher if they do well with their em ui 9 launcher who will thing to change it !
poor customization of huawei launcher mean to me poor software poor and make it as no benefit device even if it has the gaming pc specification

OnePlus 3 and Daydream VR

Hi all,
did you see this? http://www.daydreamdistrict.com/run-daydream-vr-oneplus-3/
This seems to be the only way to have the OnePlus 3 ready for Daydream. I still tried this customization (comment).
Has anybody did this, too? What can be the reason for unsuccess?

Was this a question or a hint? Yes, actually I do not have any Daydream VR Controller. But I didn't have any Icons in my Launcher.
By default the line "<feature name=”android.software.vr.mode” />" is set. The other has to copied in. And after reboot no nothing.

after adding those lines you have to go to the playstore or use APK mirror and install daydream app and daydream keyboard the line
"<feature name="android.software.vr.mode"/>" just enables the support but you still have to install the apps

If you start the device it first asks for PIN's (unlock SIM) and then the PIN (unlock device) or fingerprint or what ever ... and then there is nothing. You can open the taskmanager. In my case with the message "No recently opened Items". First I thought is is an error in OxygenOS Launcher but as I installed Nova (install apk through adb install, because no icons -> no Google Playstore) there was no icon, too. No screenshots from me ... if I do it again it will take me another 1 hour for repairing.

Unfortunately i don't know what to say as when i added the lines in my device booted normally and no crashes anywhere it was just useless for me as i dont have a second android device with gyroscope free lying around but i can assure you Google Daydream works flawlessly on oneplus 3

Did you set the correct permissions after editing the file? (Check the screenshot.) I suggest you use 'root browser' from the play store, edit the file and then set the same permissions as in the screenshot. Just long click the file and tap 'permissions'
As You can see Daydream VR is working perfectly with Oneplus 3 just need a second droid device with gyroscope or buy the actual daydream Vr headset and controller
FYI i am using daydream on lineage OS the New official one

MIUI 10 - swipe up - enable Google-search instead of MIUI-search?

Since every aosp Rom (last was Pixel Experience) gets laggy after some time, I decided to go to miui again, since I never had lag problems with miui.
My GF's RN4 was faster than my RN5 running PE 9.0 so I said it's time for a change.
On miui I only hated the notification lag (or no notification at all) and the, for example reply in statusbar not working like in aosp.
So, since they changed it in miui 10.3 (maybe even before?), I was quite happy with almost everything.
What I am missing is the "swipe up" to Google search, or swipe right from home screen to Google search.
I managed to deactivate the App-Vault (swipe right from home) but I dont know, how to set Google search instead of that miui search at "swipe up from home screen".
Is there a chance to do it?
Or set Google search to "swipe right from home screen"?
I haven't found an option to change the swipe gestures.
I still miss some other stuff from aosp Roms, since they are all "Google based" but miui is miui and I guess you can't have everything.
I'm on Xiaomi.eu 10.3 MIUI, Magisk installed.
Thanks!
EDIT:
With Google search I meant the Google assistant / Google Now too. I mean, it's standard feature with aosp Roms so I guess you know what I mean.. The Google search with some news underneath the search bar.
Goggle feed is impossible to put in miui launcher
Somebody has manged to put in poco launcher but without solution

Aargh, too bad.
And is there a chance to disable that search or set anything else at that place?
That "feature" is just not necessary for me.
Actually you can enable swipe up to google search back. You just need to clear default of the mi browser in setting > installed apps > browser > clear default. You may notice that the browser doesn't have any default. Just tap on it and the swipe up gesture will open google search again.
How i notice this? Cause everytime there is mi browser update. The swipe up gesture revert back to that xiaomi browser.

Sadly not working for me.. Maybe you don't use the same version?
Also, another question.
If I flash global beta, am I going to get Google search?
If so, what are the benefits (if any) of global beta Rom if you compare it to Xiaomi.eu?
I think, Xiaomi.eu Roms are bit more optimized and debloated or?

Global beta is more stable than the stable channel (which i use currently - build 10.0.6). While there isn't any big difference between xiaomi.eu and global beta since they use the same build except for ads (which can be disable by unistalling msa apps with adb debloater). And yes, you get all google apps in global beta
Btw, can you clear default for google apps and google chrome to see if it working?

Nope, still not working.
Well I guess I have to live with it. It's not that big problem, since I can start the Google feed with the widget.
It would be good though, if you could disable the miui-search but if you have no idea how to do it, then it's alright..
thanks though!
Hey, I had the same problem and solved it! (sorry for digging up an 8 months old thread)
Get xiaomi debloater and uninstall Browser and Search (com.android.search), and voilá. At least it did work for me, on Mi 9, Xiaomi.EU rom.
chorba69 said:

actually You can enable swipe up google search if you r a root user..
you have to follow some step
step 1: reinstall the rom
step 2: root
step 3: immediately install lucky patcher
step 4: uninstall the system app browser
done!!
google swip up gesture will enable for forever until you reflash the rom.
if you follow step 3 and 4 now without reflash rom the swipe up gesture will show app not installed..
I done this before I am using swipe up google...

You can do it without root, usb debugging adb allows you to uninstall system app without root, and please do not mention L* P* here, it's against the rule to mention that app on xda.

Gray/White NavBar after Android Pie Update

Hello!
This is my first post here. I am just wondering how to use Black NavBar just like I did in Android 8. After I updated my Moto G6 Play to 9, NavBar is now white/gray, just few apps use the black one. I tried to use some apps in the store but had issues. I tried some Galaxy S8 commands using ADB, but not worked. Are there specific commands or something like root to roll back my black navbar and use it in all the system?
Thank you!
Did you find the solution? I have the same problem with ROMs from Motorola, I have not found anyone but you looking for the solution :crying:
It's just a stock thing. Sad, but it's how it is. I suggest using Fluid NG

You cannot use Gestures in any launcher other than the default MIUI launcher.

To further this: it can be done if the app is a system app and supports providing recent apps (built for android 10+). Maybe try rooting and converting the Poco Launcher to a system app?
My Mi 11x is rooted and running Xiaomi.eu rom stable Miui 12.5.4.0. Strangely because of altered file structure in android 11 root files cannot be altered. My device is rooted with Magisk.
If anybody can help about how to overcome this problem it will be greatly appreciated...

How is this related to the full screen gestures thread?
to paste nova launcher app into /system/app in order to convert it into system app (to enable android gesture with nova launcher)

Well I tried this by moving Nova launcher apk file into system/app folder and changing permission to rw-r-r. But still full-screen gesture support is disabled every time I set nova as the default launcher. Any solution that u know of?

Question Oxygen OS 13 Custom Launchers

Hello everyone,
As you should already know Oneplus released the stable update of A13 for Oneplus 9/9 Pro, as some of you i installed on my 9 Pro and everything works ok.
But i wanted to install custom launcher so i can have more customizations, i was able to but all Google Apps including Play Store stoped working, does anyone have a clue why is that?
Also i would like a launcher with recents support, i also tried quickswitch but for now lawnchair is not compatible with a13.
Thank you for all your answers.
By the way i installed Systemless Pixel Launcher from Team Files, i will leave the link bellow if someone is interested:

Yes that does work but i wanted something with recents support.
I'm looking for the same thing, it's agonizing not being able to choose the apps grid from the drawer, and I also don't understand why Lawnchair didn't add support even if it's experimental to android 13

without quickswitch the launcher is poorly integrated into the system, it is preferable to use the stock launcher than a launcher that is blinking because it is conflicting

thanks! Just tried it out but seems like lawnchair crashes when tried to swipe up from nav bar (have an OP11) and opening app animation are really stuttery. I might have to wait till things are a bit more polished before hopping back on this.
