I feel the same.

I'm using reg Nova Prime. What is your phone? Perhaps shaggyskunk is right about the device/rom. I am on an older Note 4 compared to his newer S7.

I just tested Nova app drawer on a different Note 4 5.11. It isn't launching instantly, but much quicker, like under a second.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
It's pretty much as quick to launch the app drawer on my Note 3 running Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 5.8.4 as my S7.... It may have something to do with RAM?

shaggyskunk is almost never right - except for when he thinks that he's wrong - lol ?

[Android Software Development] burntrat:
Doesn't the note 4 have the same or more ram? I'm starting to think it's a MM thing.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah it could be MM - but I don't have any devices running MM - They're all running 7.1.2 - So I can't compare..

I just tried on my other Huawei running CandySix 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM and its fine. Has 2GB RAM like my other phones and same Nova Launcher Prime. :confused:
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Check the available RAM on both devices - Also it's possible that one device has more apps running in the Background than the other - I'm not familiar with CandySix but if it's got Privacy Guard (or something similar) You can check to see how many apps are running in the Background and disable them from doing so (except for apps that you choose to allow).

[Android Software Development] burntrat:
My rom is MM Touchwiz based. Could that be a reason?
[Android Software Development] divineBliss:
My Huawei ROM that sometimes did sloooow opening of Nova Launcher app drawer isn't the same as your ROM, so I doubt it's the cause.
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
I could be wrong, but all the roms that it run smoothly are AOSP based? I wouldn't be surprised if it was cause of Samsung's horrible software. Makes me want to switch over to Google phones.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Maybe just Flash a Custom AOSP Rom? (Nandroid your current Rom first of course) ?

Is there anyway to make the pie control have a click feature instead of having to swipe and keep your finger down...instead swipe to open pie then take your finger off and click the slice you want??
[Android Software Development] divineBliss:
What would be the advantage of doing it that way :confused: Seems like it would be slower.

Usually have 500MB or more free RAM. I already use Greenify to limit apps :)
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah Greenify is a good start - I also use Greenify - But look at How many times Chrome or G+ Try to wake up or keep running in the Background and that's with Greenify!

[Android Software Development] burntrat:
I tried an AOSP rom mannnny years ago, while it was fast and light, it had many flaws. I'm sure it is much better now, but I think I will be missing features from touchwiz. I may look into AOSP later on, but I just want to play it safe with touchwiz for now. Also, with my phone, I do not have the ability to downgrade to older OS. I have a fear of being stuck in something I might not like.
[Android Software Development] divineBliss:
Opening Nova Launcher app drawer from LMT pie doesn't sound worth the effort of switching ROMs if you otherwise like your current ROM :)
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
Yeah. I hope I do not sound whiney about this issue. I am grateful for LMT. If it could be sped up a little, I'd really appreciate it. If it can't due to being too much trouble or breaking other functions, I think I can live with the 2 sec delay.
[Android Software Development] divineBliss:
Not at all :) . LMT is great :) It would be good to understand what's causing the delay.

Maybe try experimenting with older versions of Nova Launcher ONLY after you save your current configuration.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
2 seconds - Almost enough time to take a sip of coffee ☺️

[Android Software Development] burntrat:
I remembered I used a separate app drawer app with a diff pie app when I couldn't use LMT. Tried that, and app drawer pretty much loads up instantly. Bad part is if you kill it from memory, it takes 2-3 secs to load back up again, so back to square one.

I was playing around with the settings, and turned off/on Aggressive desktop under Advanced section. I don't know if it was some placebo effect, but feels like it loads up a bit quicker.
[Android Software Development] live2playloud:
There may be no advantage but I just prefer it that way..i use another app that does it but it's not as nice as lmt
[Android Software Development] kkuhle:
Has anyone come across a way to use screen brightness controls on apps like (mx player, moon reader, newpipe) while enabling lmt on the lockscreen? The lockscreen isn't a deal breaker for me, but I really miss having the ability to interact with notifications which seems the lockscreen option is necessary, but of course breaks the brightness control in apps that allow it.
[Android Software Development] partridge79:
This maybe redundant But have you tried Installing LMT as a system app? (It's prerequisite for me) and it definitely speeds up launch speeds noticeable beyond any placebo effect (hint) when installing as system it will FC so simply install the apk again (without uninstall i.e. as updating) to get Libs installed as well (I noticed my custom Icons are retained when switching ROMs ..ahem flashaholic here..when using this method. [MENTION=1864347]noname81[/MENTION] previously you mentioned you had a 2.9ver. any chance we could get access to this? Even if it's a Alpha/beta WIP I'm sure it will be amazing. Thx for your work LMT FTW!
[Android Software Development] scoobyjenkins:
After installing as a data app, I copied the libs so I could add them to a flashable zip along with the apk, so I just have to flash that
[Android Software Development] chopoLet:
Can you share it with us sir? :)
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
Can you elaborate more on installing it as a system app? My placebo effect only lasted 10 mins. If I remember correctly my rom came with an older version of LMT. I just froze it and installed v2.8. I just opened the .apk with root explorer and let it install that way. I'm not too sure on how to install it a different way.
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
Any was to DISABLE (no hide/immersive mode) the stock nav bar? (Using pixel).... Immersive mode with PIE on bottom causes obvious issues...swipe up just triggers nav bar, not PIE control.

PN has a feature to disable nav bar, but stock (DP4) does not. Any way to manually do it? Much thanks.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
If you have a Pixel I would recommend to hide the nav bar with the rro layer theme from the OP. It has been working flawlessly for me the last year.
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
Are you sure this will not cause a boot loop? I am using Pixel, but last time I tried this with latest security patch, placing anything in /vendor will cause a boot loop. It's my understanding that the prop file needs to go there, yes?
[Android Software Development] duttyend:
Dear Dev,

Do you know how to make the theme work on stock LOS 14.1 ?

I tried to install the apk from the OP and to move it to /vendor/overlays but it doesn't do anything...

Maybe LineageOS isn't compatible with layers engine.

Anyway, I can use the build.prop hack to hide the navbar, the only downside is that some apps don't show their menus, thinking the device has hardware buttons.

Have a great day and thanks again for your fabulous LMT Launcher!!!
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Hm, I'm still on may patch level. So perhaps someone else can comment here? Are rro layer themes still working with latest patch level?
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Normally you don't install the APK but just copy it to that place, change file permissions and restart.
[Android Software Development] duttyend:
It's not working unfortunately but it doesn't matter.

Thanks again!
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
Alternatively, is there any way to hide navbar with substratum?

Update: figured I'd give it a shot. Placed framework in /vendor/overlay, rebooted. No ui crashes or reboots, but....nav bar is still there. What am I doing wrong? Really want to be able to use PIE on bottom w/o nav bar....the whole point for me using pie is to add screen real estate by getting rid of nav bar.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
You have to change the file permissions of the apk to e.g. 777.
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
I did this. Set to 777. Do I need to do anything with "Framework-res_auto_generated_rro.apk" ? That's the only other file in /vendor/overlay besides Pixel overlay.

Note: using pixel running ODP4
[Android Software Development] MrMarques01:
If you have issues with the rro layer, you could alternatively try to put the following line into you build.prop:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

That should deactivate the navbar
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
I've tried that previously, just results in constant UI crashes. Unusable lol.
[Android Software Development] TR2N:
Is there any fix for navigation not working on Paranoid Android?
[Android Software Development] xSilas43:
You'll have to ask the pa team about that.
[Android Software Development] duttyend:
It finally works on LOS !!! :good: I just needed to change permissions to have it work, thanks a lot :highfive:
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
Anyone have any ideas? Placed rro framework apk in /vendor/overlay with 777 permissions and rebooted, but navbar is still there. Using pixel. Any ideas are appreciated.

Hello. I used to run lmt on my rooted nexus 4. Great app, thanks To author.

Nexud 4 (nova launcher) is broken and lmt has some problem To run on my non rooted a3 samsung 2017 (under last nova launcher): nothing happen when i use lmt to start stock Phone app, direct call contact and S-voice.

Thanks in advance for anyone who help me to resolve this problem.

I'm very disapointed. I dont want root my A3 because i need knox.

[Android Software Development] dakunesu:
ideally, either a swipe or long press that doesn't eat the touch while the keyboard is open. I dont know how to do this but with GMD, it may require as much as adb debugging to do this.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
No need for adb. I'm already supporting that feature for the gesture recognition. But it doesn't play nice with the pie atm...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Android Software Development] noname81:
fyi: I implemented now another approach: When the keyboard is visible, the activation area for the pie is moved upwards, so that it's not interfering with key inputs. When the pie is activated and the keyboard is still open, it will be closed. Will be part of v1.6...
[Android Software Development] dakunesu:
awesome, good work
[Android Software Development] noname81:
I wrote a pm but he didn't answer. But today I also found a way to get the keyboard state as a service. It was not so easy to find out... :D In v1.6, gestures and swipes will be blocked when the keyboard is open...
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Finally: I implemented today all features on my list for v1.6. Some requested features are still missing, but I'll start working on v1.7 right afterwards... :) Give me some days to check if everything is working as expected and then I'll push the new version...
[Android Software Development] Youngunn2008:
Just started using this on my atrix HD in conjunction with fullscreen toggle app.

[Android Software Development] noname81:
Uploaded v1.6 to the OP. I don't expect that all new features are working without problems on every device (I tested the version only on the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7). I also don't like, that you have to configure the touchscreen to screen factor for the new invisible swipe areas manually, but I wanted to push out the new version. I'll implement a (auto) calibration in v1.7. If you find any problems. please report them here in this thread. Thanks!

Enjoy!
[Android Software Development] sykomaniac:
Great update. Only thing is single touch swipes still triggering when I have the keyboard open. As I'm using 4.2.1 and swipe input it's a little annoying :)

Using 1.6 and 4.2.1 AOSP for VZ gnex.

I was a long time lmt user until I tried Button Savior.

Anyhow I am back and wanted to give it another try.

Does anyone notice two things:

1. Recent apps seems choppy.

2. When using full screen mod qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 the camera app aspect ratio is off.

Anyone else notice this about lmt and 4.2.1?

[Android Software Development] maflin18:
Thanks. Do I need to do anything with the other rro apk?
[Android Software Development] Atomregen:
I don't no, there is no other APK inside my overlay folder.
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
That's interesting....anyone else have this in their folder? Do you think it's safe to delete? (Or rename ....bak)?

Edit: are you using Pixel?
[Android Software Development] Atomregen:
If TWRP works yes.

I'm using a pixel XL.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
The name of the other file implies that whatever theme it might be it is theming the same file as the one from me for the zero height navbar. So there could be conflicts. Try to remove the file from the folder if you have e.g. TWRP in place to restore it in case of problems.
[Android Software Development] maflin18:
I think it has something to do with SuperSU. As soon as I cut the file and placed it elsewhere, I got 'supersu has stopped' followed by an instant crash of SuperSU app and root checker app if I tried to open either. This was before a reboot. I put the apk back, root checker launched and asked for root privilege. Everything works as before, but root apps need to be granted access again. Never rebooted.

Edit: Welp...accidently deleted that file without a backup...rebooted to be greeted with a lovely "factory data reset" screen, with no way around it. After the factory reset, upon booting to the setup screen, it was getting constant ui crashes...could not even get through device setup. Ran the DP4 flash-all file and everything is ok now....
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Just googled a little bit and it looks like Google is starting to theme android via rro layers with Android O. So the rro layer from me might conflict with it now. I'll check it again once O is out. Perhaps it can be fixed.
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
Can you please explain how you install LMT as a system app? I researched it and looks like you just move the LMT folder from data/app to system/app with the proper permissions. I did that, but the LMT icon goes away after a reboot. When I install the .apk from system/app dir, icon comes back and is usable, but it makes another lmt folder in data/app dir again. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
[Android Software Development] partridge79:
I install my system apps via twrp.(recovery) simply mount system in twrp then find lmt.apk copy it to system app give it 644 permisions then reboot then once I'm booted I reinstall lmt via any filebrowser (this has to be done to get libs installed) ...so package installer tells me I'm updating it. Then your good to go (FYI if you want it installed in privapp just create a folder with the same name as your apk (not package name) place it in privapp w/755 permisions and place the apk inside it with 644 perms. That's what I do and has worked everytime
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
I just tried it, but I keep seeing the lmt folder in data/app after install. Is that supposed to happen? I thought it was supposed to stay in system/app. I'm on android 6.0.1, is it supposed to go in privapp folder or does it not matter?
[Android Software Development] partridge79:
Yeah that's totally normal you'll notice your other system apps have folders there as well to be sure if it's installed as system go to settings apps and find lmt and see if there's a uninstall option (user app) or Disable (system app)
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
I guess I had it right the first time. I cleared my settings for nothing. Even after making lmt a system app, I'm not seeing that much of an improvement in opening nova app drawer shortcut. Still opens up slower than 5.11 stock which opens in like a second. It just might be slow with 6.0.1. Thank you for your help though.
[Android Software Development] partridge79:
Have you installed Nova as system? I'm using 5.4-beta3 installed as system also and to me it's opening just as fast as I could swipe up on my home screen but maybe it's Rom related too idk. running RR 5.8.4 (7.1.2) on op3. there are so many variables to consider but GL. have you got the keep in memory/cache setting applied in nova "aggressive desktop" it could help as I keep it engaged as I've got 6g of ram there's no reason not too
[Android Software Development] burntrat:
Nah, I haven't tried system install for my nova 5.3 yet. I usually install through play store 99% of the time. I'll try later maybe.

I originally left that on, but turned it off, and noticed a slight speed increase. After like 10mins though, that placebo effect wore off.

To hide the navbar on Oreo, framework layer doesn't work yet, as mentioned above. And when I tried to used the classical method (build.prop edit by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1), the phone crashes at boot and prompt a factory reset (which can be fixed by re-running flash-all.bat with -w removed). Seems like any edit to the system partition will cause a crash...

Anyone have workarounds yet? If not I guess I have to stop using LMT for a while.

[Android Software Development] noname81:
I updated to Oreo and checked the navbar problem. Rro layer themes in general work fine and you can even switch themes at runtime via the settings app's display section. But somehow the navbar size modifications are not applied. I checked the AOSP sources but did not find any obvious reasons.

Since the build.prop approach is also not working the only way to hide the navbar right now is to force immersive mode for the navbar in all apps. This works nicely but has the problem, that pie at the bottom will not work.

Let's see when someone fixes the rro layer navbar themes.

I've tried with immersive mode/pie turned on, turned off. LMT moved to system, tried different permission settings. I've made sure accessiblity and usage access are yes, and it's set to draw over other apps. I've reinstalled fresh. I've tried using the keycodes for back and home. Nothing works.
