Permanently setting 3rd party default launcher with gestures
- Thread starter madscribblerz

Be aware that people on here (and reddit) will claim it works perfectly but conveniently leave out the fact that the animations still aren't 1:1 and never will be without a quickstep compatible launcher.
Your swipe up for home will just have the app disappear into a fade, not back into the icon, and swiping up for recents from the home screen has no animation at all.
I guess I see different launchers behaving differently as a given. Nova has lots of animation options - so yeah, not stock.
By perfectly I mean you don't have to set Nova as the default launcher after rebooting anymore. It works as designed, transparently, albeit not the pixel launcher but that's kind of the point, right?
I see what you meant now. I was hoping I could get Pixel launcher animations with Nova but it's not a big deal.
I wonder if it's up to Google or Nova's devs to fix this?
Dunno - but if you want pixel animations I'd look at rootless launcher or action launcher - they are both based on pixel launcher.
Closest you can likely get is Lawnchair with quickstep. Gets you a middle ground of customization but with native pixel gesture support and animations
Now that I'm (finally!) using the P4XL, I can confirm animations with Nova aren't as smooth as with the Pixel launcher. It kinda sucks but I'll take Nova customizations over nicer animations any day, if we can't have both!

I went to the receiver manager, clicked the three dots in the upper right, checked other and they showed up.
I also found that if I wait a bit after the home screen comes up before using it it doesn't have the weird launcher behavior. So it might have been a matter of waiting long enough for initialization too.1
Thanks Badger, happy to see you here.
You mention root being a factor - does hiding root from Nova help?11
