Nova Launcher 7 completely broke how I access my app drawer.
My home screen is just widget that goes all the way down to the bottom without dock.
After updating to NL 7, swipe up to access app drawer is broken. I have to either turn on the dock or make my widget not touch the bottom of the page.

I'm on MIUI's latest and sometimes I long press on something and the whole dock disappears. I don't know how to get it back and if I press Menu I don't get any options for ADW EX. I have to reboot my phone to get my dock back. Does anyone know the shortcut to get the dock back?
I had the same problem using CM7, at times when I was landscape, I swyped or did something and it disappeared. Best thing you can do is long press the home screen, shortcuts, apps, and select your app drawer [just incase]. Otherwise you have to reboot. I switched to launcher pro plus and haven't had that happen to me anymore. [You can google search and download the full paid apk for it...just saying]
Swiping the dock up hides it. Swipe up and back down in one motion brings it back. The swipe is quite short in length.

awesome ron, thanks!
I always operate my tablets in landscape mode. But on 4.3, Google have moved the softkeys from the left hand side of the screen to the centre, and I keep hitting the home key accidentally. Does anyone know of an app please that will get them back where they should be?!
The default launcher does not give the option to choose where the softkeys should be placed. You should install a more customizable launcher. In my memory, "NOVA launcher" or lightening home launcher should do it. Smart Launcher has the keys on the left by default, at least in older versions. Yet, the placement of the softkeys can be enforced when running apps: installing a customizable launcher will allow you to change the default placement, but they can move when the screen displays an app.

Thanks for your reply. I actually already use Nova, but I can't find an option that does this. I'll have a look at Smart Launcher..
Seems with the stick LG launcher you can lock the phone by double tapping the screen which is very nice. Downside is you cannot put widgets on the bottom row where I usually put my sms and phone icons at. I've always used Nova Launcher but now with Nova Launcher the tap to lock does not work which means you have to lock the screen by the button on the back which is a majour pain since I always hit the volume buttons by accident. Anyone have any suggestions on this? I'm open to other launchers and also haven't rooted yet but plan to over the next couple of weeks. Thanks a bunch.
Double tap the status (notifications) bar
Install program screen off and assign double tap shortcut to it.

With LG Stock Launcher you can double tap anywhere to lock the device. When using nova just double tap the notification and it will lock.
That would work on screen that is showing.
As someone above said, install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Then in Nova Launcher go to settings and select the gesture for Double Tap to launch the Screen Off app.
Also, gestures are only supported in the paid version of Nova Launcher as far as i know.
Thanks a bunch guys. This solved the problem.
Can you double-tap for screen on as well? I'm loving this feature on stock.
G3 Tweaks also lets you turn off the screen by double tapping the navigation bar (or at least the blank portions of it). It makes for a bigger target than the notification bar.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I'm trying to use a custom launcher on my device (currently Hyperion, but tried others) How do I fix the app drawer opening when swiping for recents from the home screen, using gesture navigation? Like when I'm on the home page and swipe up and hold to open recents menu, it keeps opening the launcher app drawer.
Peace...
I'm using Nova and I'm having the same problem. I do think there used to be an app made by Jawomo to customize gestures..hopefully someone has a workaround for this as its frustrating

Tried using a third party launcher and had the same issue. I think it's a one ui issue. Even when using good lock I tried switching the recent style and every time I swipe up to go home it brings up recents instead of going home
I'm using lawnchair2 and i had the same issue.
I fixed it by disabling swipe up gesture action on the dock
Try using the 3 location Samsung gestures instead of the Android 10 one. It's way smoother and doesn't have hiccups with 3rd party launchers. You can also get rid of the indicators so you have a completely clean screen, no bar at all on the bottom.
This coupled with onehandedgestures from good lock is way better than stock gestures imo.

Strange ,
i have Nova launcher Prime and have no such issues .!!
My swipe up from bottom ( middle ) opens Recents ..every time .
i think it could be wrong combo of settings ..or something like that ,you have configured it ?
My setup is ,I'm using Device /Settings /Navigation bar option "Swipe from sides and bottom "
My Nova Launcher Prime settings "Gestures " Re the swipe up action is set on" None"
Further my Nova /settings / Gestures ,Home button is set to "Default page ".
So i have no conflict in gestures .
( Samsung navigation , swipe up conflicting with Nova swipe up gestures ????)
I use pinch in gesture to open App drawer .
I also use Samsungs Good lock module, Tasks Changer ,which actually gives me an "animated icon "when i swipe up and hold for Recents .
good luck
Into nova settings/gestures& inputs/home button choose "none".
I think this will fix the issue you having.

Ummm....ive ALWAYS had my set up like this (see image below). But nevertheless, I'll just try to be more focused and careful during swiping upView attachment 5106819

If you use HEX select this. It worked for me.
Hi,
I come from Huawei P10 and just got a S20. I am not a fan of the Samsung One UI, particularly the horizontal page by page scrolling in the app drawer.
However, switching to Nova means that the swipe gestures won't work as expected (at least there are some known issues with Android 10 and 11, e.g. redraw home screen)
Any idea if I somehow can get horizontal scrolling in the app drawer and swipe gestures?

I just installed Nova launcher and it works well with One Hand Operation +
