Nova Beta 7.0.24 - Pixel 3a - Nova Launcher

I have a Pixel 3a with latest original android FW and I have installed the latest Nova Beta 7 after being with 6 for very long time.
The scroll between pages is very laggy compared to v6 and also today after reboot almost all apps were crashing and the widgets did not refresh, I had to "restart" the launcher from the settings in order to be fixed.
I have a ton of settings set , is there any safe way to revert to v6 without losing everything?

Update: Apps crashing was due to web view problem that occurred to everyone.

Lag in Pixel launcher Google page

hey guyz, did anyone noticed lag while opening google feed page in pixel launcher? i felt lag everytime i swipe right on the pixel launcher to go to the google page. can anyone fix it?
it wasnt in oreo but yup noticed it when i switched to the beta builds
It lags in every ROM I have tried
I have the same problem on beta 5
lag on all Beta Versions
Yes ! It was still manageable and didn't catch my attention with the previous beta versions but with OB5, it's way too laggy.
No problem, cr droid, flash kernel, ruthless pixel launcher (magisk module)
YEs I have the same Lag also, trying to install rootless pixel launcher and I have that terrible Lag, only in beta version. Could you try uninstalling one plus launcher app, if that helps ???

This lag is specific to OOS and not android. The lag doesn't exist on AOSP 8.1 roms.
Any news about a fix ?

Yes, that's the saddest thing.. I was waiting for a stable release ??
So I shouldnt update to 8.1 then
I have the same issue.. Now I'm forced to use OnePlus' launcher instead od Nova (pro), because it doesnt work as it should after update to Oxygen 5.1.
Same here.... Is it the same after a clean install?
I contacted One Plus support, they told me to hard reset... but it's not fixing anything! Can anyone try too ?
Same problem even after Factory reset...

How's the RAM management after December update?

Hello, been following the Pixel 3 for quite some time and contemplating changing to the Pixel 3 from Pixel 2. But the RAM management issue is holding me back and since the December update claimed to have solved the RAM management issue, I am wondering how is the fix, any more random closure of spotify and other apps?

It is for the most part eliminated. I've only seen it happen if you have a gazillion apps open and not like before where you had 3 or 4 and it'll refresh or close the first one. I use Spotify on daily basis at work for several hours as I deliver and never had it close on me even after having a lot of apps in the background.

I haven't had any issues on the December build, or previously. The security blog was pretty vague about the depth of the fix. On Spotify, have you checked the size of the cache? It can get really huge depending on which settings you select. Try deleting that cache from within Spotify settings. Mine had grown to over 2GB and I had no idea. It's worth a try. You may already know there were a ton of functional improvements on this last update, even for the P2.
It's definitely better. I haven't had Spotify close on my when playing a game or taking photos like it was previously.
I'm still having ram issues when having YouTube playing in picture in picture mode and taking a picture and typing in Snapchat. That's one of the only problems I've been having. Spotify and Snapchat works a lot better after update. I replicated it with all background apps closed and still same thing.
Doesn't work near like the note 9 i will tell you that. Lets say I have a game 2 apps back and i switch to text or messages and boom i go back and game restarts. On the note 9 i could put it 15 apps back and boom still holds progress

Snapchat just sucks on Android plain and simple. It's terrible and unusable.

I second this. It's better but not to the level of Note 9. The Note 9 does have 2 extra gigas of ram so it's not really a fair comparison.
Having no issues whatsoever on mine. What little issues I had before are gone now.
Still closes Pokemon Go when you have more than two apps open, especially the camera.

Yeah mine actually has 8 gb so it is double the pixel but still would like to see things a little closer in top tier devices
I find that the Dec update fixed a lot of problems with smoothness. It was even smoother after I did a fill fresh install/wipe through the official full rom. Battery seems better too.

Question Weird scrolling behavior / inconsistent scrolling acceleration moddable?

I got my OnePlus 9 Pro yesterday and instantly noticed that they modified the scrolling behavior / acceleration with the OnePlus 9 Pro. Scrolling now feels really slow, compared to the OnePlus 8 Pro, and the biggest problem is that it is not consistent between different apps. While on Chrome it is nearly as fast as on the OnePlus 8 Pro it's pretty slow in Google Play Store, Twitter, Google Feed etc.
Here is a screen record comparison between the two: OP9 Pro / OP8 Pro
Do you guys know if there is a way to mod that? I am also going to root my device, so if I need root to fix it that's not a problem.
Is there anyone else that noticed the same?

How did you root?
At the moment I am not rooted, but it still works like it worked on the 8 Pro by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a Magisk patched boot image.

Oh, when you said "I am also rooted so that is not the problem." you meant on the 8 Pro?
Sorry, I rephrased it, I wanted to say that if I need root that it is not a problem.
I don't have a solution for you but my experience is the exact same. The slow scrolling is a big issue for me, but I'd imagine it's a small tweak or update away from being fixed.
I noticed it to. I thought I was going nuts. Glad to see it is not just me. Hopefully this gets fixed because scrolling through my Google News feed is really slow now compared to my OP8 pro.
-Frank
This happened when the 8pro was released, they eventually fixed it after a few updates but for a month or so scrolling was janky.
Just installed the recent update and scrolling is much improved!
Build number
Oxygen OS 11.2.1.1.LE15AA
I've got the same scrolling weirdness on my 9 Pro - only in certain apps, like Outlook and the Google discover feed. Chrome and Gmail are fine. I got the latest update today and the scrolling hesitation is still there.
I'm sure this is one of those things that they will tweak over within the next couple updates they do. I personally haven't noticed it. Going from my oneplus8 pro to this phone now, but something to look out for.
It seems to be tied to the screen refresh rate. I enabled the Dev option to show the refresh rate and the apps I notice it the most in are the ones that run at 60hz
I was setting up the 9 pro next to my 8 pro and this was the first thing I noticed. But now, a day later it is as smooth as on the 8 Pro.
I have seen this too and for those that have do you all still have the factory fit screen protector on?

I'd just like to add I have receive my OP9P and experience the exact same, coming from a 6T it does feel slow and hesitant.

I have no problem on scrolling. have you try these setting: 1. in display setting -->profesional setting,set to 120Hz and resolution to QHD+ and turn off smart power saving at QHD+setting 2. turn on the overclock response tap
3. go to developer mode and set all visual effect to 0.5. Then restart your phone you should see the difference

Question OnePlus Launcher

Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

I'll give it a look.
Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

And if you're rooted with lawn chair just use quick switch in magisk and you'll have all you need.

Eh, I charge it enough. It really is more of a psychological visual decluttering for me. I know, it's really best to let Android manage your open apps.

I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.

Question Why does my At A Glance Weather not update?

title says it all.
weather only updates in the widget, when i click on the weather directly and it opens in the weather app.
then it gets outdated again until i repeat.
it never updates automatically in the at a glance widget from google.
tried the beta, cleared cache. placed the specific google weather widget also on the homescreen, nothing helps.
any ideas?
thanks guys!!

worked like a charm from the beginning for months and just stopped working like weeks ago (but i dont know if it came with an os update)
I wish I knew what to suggest besides starting from scratch. Mine on my home screen updates fine by itself. Have you checked in the Play Store to see if you're enrolled in the Beta and might've forgotten? I'm not on the Beta and I'm currently on version 13.18.7.29.arm64.

It's probably something with that version, then, since I too am on stable but yet the older 13.18.7.29.arm64. I just manually checked for all updated apps and I'm still on this version. Hopefully, they'll release a stabler Stable version soon for you.
And hopefully, that truly is the cause.
Did you try rebooting?
You on the Android 13 beta? Or was it a different beta that you had tried? I am on the Android 13 beta and have been having the same issue since I updated to the latest beta build earlier this month. Granted, I always update beta builds ASAP and so perhaps this issue is occuring due to me disabling verity and verification this time around
I am also experiencing the same issue with the May update and Google app version 13.19.7.29. Battery optimization is disabled for the Google app and Play Services. I updated the Google app around the same time I installed the May update, so one of those two updates seems to be the issue in my experience.

That's the version of the Google app I'm on, while on the May update. I'm on the May 1, 2022 Play System update, as well. My At a Glance is updating automatically fine (using Nova Launcher Prime).

I'm using the stock Pixel Launcher. At a Glance updates fine with upcoming calendar events, status of connected Bluetooth devices, etc. Weather just refuses to update on its own, and eventually disappears if I don't update it manually for a while.
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post: I also began using LSPosed and AOSP Mods around the time I installed the May update. AOSP Mods hooks into the Pixel Launcher, which makes me wonder if it could be part of the issue.

Could be. I use AOSP Mods also (but with Nova, not the Pixel Launcher). Temporarily disable AOSP Mods, reboot, and test it for a while.
