I see everyone saying launcher is fixed but when ever you clear recent apps it backs to default launcher and then I need to lock and unlock to get nova back.
Yep, that's still an issue, but we're getting there.

After using the Recents, it will return you to the Nubia launcher, but if you've set up the home button to default to Nova (or other third party launcher) it'll return you to your chosen launcher - no need to lock/unlock, just hit the home button.

2 months 1 update

I now have 2 months with this phone and I love it. Some small issues tho. The update fixed the fingerprint sensor dramatically and added battery to the settings with a few other things. I'll list a few bugs I've encountered.
YouTube at times gets stuck with the control buttons as the video plays it won't leave the screen until I restart the app. Also it fails to resize the video to full screen at times. I've scaled a video to full size then left the app came back tried to resize it to full screen and no luck.
Gamepsace shuts down my last used app. After the update whenever I enter gamepsace and close gamepsace it also closes my last app. Example I'm using YouTube I enter gamespace after I'm done i go back to YouTube and it relaunches the app rather than pick up where I left off. It does this with any last used app and only the last used app. (Also it doesn't matter if I enter gamespace from the home screen or from an app same thing).
Lastly at times scrolling becomes jam. It tends to happen during web browsing. ( Google Chrome/ Brave Browser). It won't smooth scroll as you swipe up or down rather you have to drag your finger in taps to move up and down the page.

Usually a relaunch of the app fixes this. Would be nice if they fix it. So far tho I love the phone blazing fast charger and fast between apps.

You mentioned scrolling becomes jam. Please see my post https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1091133#c_ts1591638084 and star it so it'll bring more attention to this Chromium bug. It doesn't appear to be a RedMagic OS bug, but a Chromium bug. When it happens, you simply can do back gesture or hit any of the buttons on the 3 button nav bar (if you're using that instead of gestures) on any app and the scrolling will go back to normal. Anyone that has noticed this scrolling bug, please kindly star the reported bug. I would really appreciate it!

How often does the Chrome scrolling get messed up for you? One other thing that I recently noticed is that the display will not timeout when the Chrome scrolling goes crazy. Very annoying bug and I'm really surprised more people are not reporting it. It happens to me at least 2 to 3 times a day.

I'm on 4.11.
The other issue still remaining is the AOD does not accept custom picture. It asked to be set but then just shows the default logo.

adb shell cmd appops set --uid com.android.systemui android:legacy_storage allow

Use this command, it will be fixed.

It actually hasn't happened to me anymore. What does happened now I think its my device since both chrome and Brave are having this problem.. when I go to a site that has their video player it seems to just freeze the entire browser/device. I have to go to the home screen back to browser to see the playback. Happens to me a lot in news websites or sports sites that have videos playing in their page.

Hi everyone
I'm facing a huge battery drain! Specially on stand by mode as its loses 30% or more in 6hrs!? I was wondering if thats AOD has to do with all this?
Thanks in advance

Battery drain on this phone is ridiculous

I routinely will lose 25-30% overnight without AOD
