I flashed 5.1 and it's kind of OK (although a few app stopped errors happen) but the home button only works from the task switcher screen. It doesn't work from any app. Tried with Launcher, tried with Nova Launcher. Also, setting Home in Nova Launcher to an app doesn't launch that app. Something eats my home clicks. But what? I do not use a custom keyboard.

You should probably wipe everything and do a fresh install of the latest factory image. From the force closes, it sounds like you flashed all all positions besides data... Or you're having issues with the touchscreen drivers, which is a widely known issue on flo... Look around in the general section, there are about four threads with good information annoy the touchscreen if that's your issue. You could also collect a logcat of the touch fail, limit the output so it's easy to find the error and determine the source of your issue... Just some ideas.
I'm on OOS 5.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader and un-rooted. Lately I've been having issues with the Google Now Launcher where it would "blink" like it does when the app is updated and from time to time my app drawer would be empty except for the Google app (see screenshot).
Last night I found that the launcher was completely gone and the phone had defaulted to the OnePlus launcher. I went to the play store to try to reinstall it but could not find it. I then went to the play store on my desktop and searched for the launcher and it was available. I tried installing it from the desktop but nothing happened on my phone. Any ideas on whats going on?
Please help, I don't have the stock Pixel 3 launcher installed or something anymore ?
Ok, I rooted my 3 XL last week, all working well, but I have done a ton of tweaks here and there, tried different launchers, uninstalled them, then go back to them, etc... Nova always being my main, but I wanted to go lightweight and stay stock, but stock doesn't allow swiping down on the screen to pull the notification shade down, whereas every launcher has that most basic option baked in, it blows my mind Google doesn't have that as default yet, but anyways.
I tried Rootless Pixel launcher with Magisk, but then there's also Rootless launcher on the Play Store. But they need you to install that companion app or bridge or something to get the Google Now Feed on the left panel, which I did, and all good.
But the way Swift Dark themes work, I didn't like any of the launcher's Google Now Feed panel, I only like the stock stock Pixel 3 launcher the phone comes with by default, it's more up to date looking, or better, than the outdated looking ones that come with Rootless Pixel launcher which is only 3.7 on Magisk, and like 3.9 on Play Store or something ?
Anyways, I uninstalled Rootless Pixel Launcher, and rebooted, and then the phone freaked out upon restarting, immediate stating some error " At the top of your All Apps list " keeps flashing and I it only goes to this setting screen, pressing home button does nothing.
I rebooted several times, tried a bunch of things, and somehow was able to get my to my web browser luckily, and did a quick install of "lean launcher" to get something going. I rebooted and I have Lean Launcher as my main and only launcher now, all working well. But I don't really want this launcher on, as it's a major battery hog and system hog. In Developer Settings, Running Services Lean is always at like 400mb, and in Battery settings Lean is usually at the top of the list. This is based on my Pixel 2 XL using Lean Launcher before, it works great, and is smooth, but for some reason it was always a battery hog.
So if I uninstall Lean Launcher, I get that same error again, and only options listed in the Default apps - Home app - two options "At the top of your All Apps list" or Lean Launcher, which is selected now.
My battery life sucks all of a sudden.
Unplug this morning 100% charge. I'm on home WiFi, I surf the web while eating breakfast, then do my workout in my basement, listening to YouTube Music. Took a short phone call, did some texts.
Battery life down to 66% now, after about 2.5 hours of use.
I think maybe it's Lean Launcher ? But in Running Services it shows only 2%. I just wish I could go back to the stock default launcher the phone came with. Bit it seems to have been wiped away or something.
At this point I'm ready to do a factory reset, but I'm rooted, and out in the field today no computer. So not even sure if possible to reset while rooted and have the phone go back to everything default ?
For the moment grab a different launcher, Nova, Action, Evie, are three I know are not too bad on batt. Once you've got something else, uninstall lean, I haven't used it but it sounds like you've got something hashed with it in at least the current installation.
Lean Launcher is really good, it's like the stock Pixel launcher, just more options. It's super smooth.
But I'm worried it's a battery hog ? Any know if it's known to be ?
If I went ahead to do a factory reset, but I'm rooted. Will the phone do a full system reset, and start over fresh with the original stock launcher ? Or does being rooted mess that up and not work ?
So I had some app updates in the Play Store, and one of the apps that had an update ready as the Pixel Launcher. I was surprised to see that, and when going to the Read More section it showed latest update Apr 17, 2017.
Anyways I updated, and then went back to Default apps, and now finally I see both options. Lean Launcher and Pixel Launcher. Whereas before it was just showing me Lean Launcher and At the top of your All Apps.
Hmm, enabling Pixel Launcher now looks weird. It's some old school like Pixel 1 style. Version # 7.1.1-3862848. Why would the Play Store update me to an older launcher version ? Oh well, guess back to Lean Launcher for now.

Had exactly the same issue with Pixel 1.
Replacing "NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk" in module zip with the original apk from system image and reinstalling module did the trick.
And now magisk replaces my original NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk in /system/priv-app with the same original NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk and everything works fine, but if i disable the module i get this error again...
What fixed it for me
I had this exact same issue on my Pixel XL (1st Gen rooted with Android 9.0) and did the same install of the Rootless Pixel XL Launcher. I did end up getting the spam of "At the top of your All Apps list". My fix was to download the original pixel launcher from the google play, then uninstall the updates to it, to which it would revert back to the stock pixel launcher, but after each restart it'd go back to the "at the top of your All Apps List" problem, so I used Titanium Backup to make a backup of the app (after updating & uninstalling updates to the pixel launcher from the google play), and I restarted the phone, ran titanium backup, restored the app (make sure you restore it as Pixel Launcher and it'll show back up as At the top of your All Apps List when you go to restore it), and I've had the stock launcher with no other issues since.
I know it's an old thread but I just solved for me on Pixel 3 XL
So, first I deleted the original Pixel launcher with root and Total Commander but didn't help at all. Lean Launcher (apk) installed, all OK but still I can not install Glance module since somehow, the Pixel Launcher is still active even if I deleted ....and do not appear on Apps tab. The main reason is Pixel Launcher have a name, and without this particular name, the Glance function doesn't work on Pixel. So, Glance module MUST have THAT name And, you can not install it with Pixel Launcher installed... (bad Google!)
Ok, after that, I reinstalled Pixel Launcher from Gplay, go in Apps, unistalled from there and voila! Glance worked and now I have the full Lean Launcher working. Ofcourse, you will have an update on Gplay for Pixel Launcher, but just make sure you cut out auto update for it and all OK.
Now I really enjoy my Pixel 3 XL without that stupid search bar on my screen and with more options from Lean Launcher!
Hyperion launcher is snappy as hell! Its a new launcher made by the dev or devs of substratum. So i trust it and i like. Give it a whirl!
I noticed that every 3rd party launchers I tried (nova, rootless, hyperion), I will have 2 following issues with app switcher: 1. Random blue tint 2. Unable to switch to nearby app (I must select only the app at the center otherwise it will quit). Anyone found solutions?
Uninstall Huawei Launcher with adb. No issues here. Nova Launcher.
Yes and u Can too uninstal hiboard and hivoice and fully replace it with Google. U dont need root only Pc with Windows
I agree uninstalling Huawei launcher solved my slight issues. Does change the recent apps from left/right to up/down scrolling.
I like the Nova launcher, particularly that is displays the apps drawer icon, displays the apps alphabetically and allows backups but every day or so I wake up to find the widgets and same few app icons have disappeared from the home screen making me need to reload or restart them.
Nova weren't particularly helpful in saying it's a known Xiaomi issue and contact them direct. The Xiaomi launcher doesn't allow backups and they seem to have removed the app drawer. Anyone know a launcher that Xiaomi can work with? Many thanks.
I've always used nova with miui roms and i never noticed any strange behavior. But i don't use widgets.
