[Q] Task switcher went to "old school"?

Hi,
stock Note 2 with root and Nova launcher.
Now the app switcher went to old school mode? When long pressing the home button I get this kind of switcher: http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites...10/05/thumb_tall_android-froyo-app-switch.png
I have set up in Nova that when pressing home button when on homescreen launches the app switcher - this is the normal one where you can swipe ur programs off.
I cant find any setting about this - heeelp
Thanks

try to reset the Nova settings

Hi,
thanks for the answer. I tried resetting the settings via settings -> application manager -> clear all cache etc. -> no help.
I also tried resetting the settings -> removing the Nova launcher -> tried with TouchWiz -> still same problem. Longpressing the home button still gives me the old-school switcher.
I can launch the "new" appswitcher manually from Nova by assigning any hotkey for that.

Gotta bumb this up a bit!

[Q] can nova launcher long press override cm11 long press?

I haven't seen this particular problem anywhere on the forum. Is there a way for NOVA Launcher long menu press to override the CM11 long menu press? I'm trying to use the long menu press to hide my dock but have not been successful. My Tab 3 7.0 running Rocket Tab will let me do it. I'm still not getting rid of NOVA and CM because it is just a minor issue but I'd like to know if anyone has been successful with it.

Can't set default home launcher any more !

Hi everyone,
I was using Buzz launcher as my default launcher, up until a few days ago. What happened then is that pressing the Home button caused an exit from Buzz and the default Huawei Home was shown !! To get back into the Buzz launcher I have to click on the app icon. I can navigate within it as before, until I press the Home button which switches me out to the Huawei Home launcher !
If I remember correctly, there was a Settings entry where you could choose your Home launcher. It seems it is not there any more (or I don't remember correctly and there was never such a settings entry). I tried:
* Manage apps-> clear defaults. Same behavior.
* Factory reset, install Buzz launcher. Same behavior
* Install another launcher. I installed Nova and still, I could not set it as the default launcher: every time I press the Home button, I am back to the default Huawei launcher !!
I am on plain vanilla B708. Any ideas anyone ???
Thanks and regards,
Karl

Which version of Android are you using ? If you are using Android 6.0, Settings -> Home set your default home launcher.

Go to "Manage Apps" > "Default app setup" (icon at the bottom of the screen) > Home
Hope this helps!

Awesome. I started with this problem about three weeks ago. Last night I softbricked my phone and have had to do a stock install and re-install all apps. Same behaviour. Home button goes to the Huawei launcher. This fixed it in seconds.
Weird thing is, I hunted high and low for that setting, and there it was.
Thank you.

Question How to use Nova launcher as default launcher? Please Read

Hello here are my current issues:
1. Settings the launcher to Nova in the settings will only work with button navigations.
- Using gesture navigation take you to nubia launcher if you use the home gesture on any app/screen
2. Even if you use the button navigations, whilst in Nova,
when going into recent app button, no matter if you clear or press back, you will be returned to nubia launcher
Using the CN model flashed with global ROM.
I want to use Nova launcher with gestures and have heard some in the thread mentioning they have this working.
Can someone lend me a hand please?
Thanks!

Don't know if you're still having this issue or not but how I somehow got it to work is going into the settings, app info, hit the 3 dots in the upper right and select Default App Settings. Tap on Desktop and change it to Nova Launcher. Sometimes though, when I exit a couple of particular apps, it resorts back to the Nubia Launcher. So what I did was keep the icon for Nova Launcher on the main desktop of the Nubia Launcher. This only happens rarely but still a pain when it does.

anyone know is this bug fix on 4.23 update?
