Are you using the official or the beta? I would try the upload on the lawnchair cl telegram. Its what I'm currently using.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
Had to uninstall and go back to stock Pixel Launcher. This app was top of my battery list and was using over 400mbs of active ram consistently. Hopefully we can get some battery and performance optimizations instead of bloated features.
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Yea. Blur isn't optimised ATM if you used it.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
I had a Huawei P8 and P9 and only got the error message a few times. You can set back again any launcher to default.

But I also add them to the ignore list of optimised apps to prevent EMUI to kill them.

Did you try to uninstall the EMUI launcher through a adb?
[Android Apps and Games] Jamestdd:
I have Huawei p20pro and using the stable v1 from play store. Smooth as hell. No msg whatso ever. Maybe because the alpha version is not stable yet.
[Android Apps and Games] razorfancy:
Very good launcher but please add an option to turn off the search bar in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] 20degrees:
Agreed. I'm sure it will be in the future. This is still in beta (V2).
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
That error message is nothing to do with lawn chair or V2 being an alpha release.....

It's simply Huawei trying to discourage you from using any third party apps, including launchers like lawn chair .

As had been pointed out several times, Huawei users are reporting this on many other launchers, not just lawn chair.

Huawei have been criticized for doing this as this policy of trying to scare its users into removing third party apps is against the spirit of android, but Huawei refuses to take note of any complaints about this.

Some newer Huawei users have indicated they have no such issues (as yet) so maybe Huawei might have changed their policy...

I'm simplyly trying to help and inform users who may not know that this is a very well known problem of Huawei's own doing - heck it's posted all over the internet and I'm surprised some Huawei users still don't know or understand what or why this happens.

I know why it happens after speaking to many other Huawei users - it's seems Huawei don't want you using other launchers and try to scare you into removing them, but there is no reason for Huawei to act that way, unless their EMUI does send usage data back to China, as suspected for quite some time.

That allegation lead me to stop using my own Huawei and change it to something else that does not Interfere with my choice of third party launcher or secretly send user data back to China, but that is of course, only my own opinion as a former Huawei owner.

I can confirm after using devices from Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola and Nokia that none of those devices ever once gave me an error message telling me a third party launcher had caused a serious error on that device.

Make of that what you will......:p
[Android Apps and Games] Jamestdd:
I understand that but maybe I explained it's wrongly. I use V1 without any problem, but I do try to install the alpha version here and the msg your system just recover from a serious.... pop out. So I wonder maybe Huawei is given that msg to any apps install outside of play store.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Nova launcher installed from playstore, flick launcher installed from playstore and ASAP launcher installed from playstore have also given Huawei devices that error.

Can I suggest you look at the lawn chair Google plus community?

You will see reports of this error from Huawei users of the playstore version.

Here's a link to a post from a Huawei Honour user of lawn chair from LAST YEAR.

Same issue.

https://plus.google.com/105687598266521064887/posts/PwvTvxG7WNn

And here's a post from the user of a Huawei P20 using Evie launcher with the same issue.

https://plus.google.com/+KateMallatrattUK/posts/1ttvkoX6QeE

I can understand your own and other Huawei users not wanting to hear their devices software are actually the problem, but it has been confirmed after investigation many times that there is no technical reason for Huawei devices to give this error or any warning about battery usage / ram usage whilst using third party launchers or apps.

It's been seen simply as a scare tactic to discourage you using any third party launchers and apps and use the Huawei default ones.

It's mentioned in many places (including here on XDA) that these messages can be and should be safely ignored and users should seriously look into removing the EMUI launcher from their devices to avoid these messages.
[Android Apps and Games] Jamestdd:
I not defending Huawei or anything, just that based on my own experience using mate 9 and p20 I didn't face the same problem. I use nova fr play store before. No problem on my side. Maybe just me or different software version or region. Or I just got lucky.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Could be the phones software version.

Mine had that whilst it was on the UK B131 software for the Y6, it was crashing like that all the time, but then I updated to EU 137 version and it was a different device, very enjoyable to use and very fast, until I started using Nova and then I got those errors all the time.

Nova support told me it was a known Huawei issue which was one of the reasons I got rid of my Huaweu Y6 pro and Honour P9 lite, which I gave to my wife.

I've got a Nokia 3 now on android 8.0 and version 2 works brilliant.

No issues at all ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Of course the issue comes from Huawei. The only issue of Lawnchair is the lack of customisable folders (and maybe some préformée issue when moving folder pages). ^^
[Android Apps and Games] stezzanator:
Should probably start a new thread specifically for the Huawei issue. Is there any way to create folders in the app drawer? Also when performing an app search a list of recent apps would make navigation a bit easier. Love lawnchair launcher. I

Tap-tap to lock screen:

1. Use time out. Asks for permission to change system settings. Locks immediately. Other such implementations dim a few seconds first.

2. Use root. Not necessary. Ask for device administrator permission. That is how others work.

WIdget resizing problem still prevents my using this as daily driver.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkiinz:
I've a bug.

When i force for rounded icons, I still have some square icons.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
What device? What android version?

AFAIK for round icons only works on devices with Android 7.1 and higher, and doesn't work at all on certain devices.

If certain apps don't have round icons, the launcher can't force round icons because round icons are provided by each app, not this launcher.

So not necessarily a bug, but a device or app limitation.

I wish I could disable swipe down notification on lawnchair 2 because I use that for another gesrgure.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
One of the biggest mistakes users make is assume the launcher controls what shape your icons are.

That's not correct and you are reporting to the wrong person...

The icon shape is determined and controlled by each individual app.

Some devices are very good at it.

Others, like your One plus are known not to apply icon masking to each icon and give you a bad homescreen where some icons are round while others are not.

You need contact one plus as this is an issue of their doing - please also check previous comments here, as one plus devices have been constantly complained about since the very beginning of this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] RayRay10:
Long press on snippet to apps please?
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

If you mean long press for app shortcuts they work fine on my device but only work on android 7.1 and higher and only if you have lawn chair set as default launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] RayRay10:
Sorry, long press on little arrow above dock to start app search. Thanx
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
You can't long press on the arrow, AFAIK only Nova currently allows that, but you can set gestures to start an app search, by going into lawn chairs settings.

See my screenshot, if there is already a gesture to open the app search the developer isn't likely going add another, but who knows?

It's already there look.....:eek:

From V2 alpha
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Latest and greatest 212:

Wooooeeee! Widgets resize correctly.

BUGS: Moving widget can crash.

Placing widget now a two-stage process. Move to lower left, then place. Not necessarily bad, but ... why?

I believe that lawnchair (All versions!) can sporadically trigger an Android-wide glitch removing all widgets. Note that the Microsoft widget and Overlays get them back. So should impliment.

There is an edge screen homescreen overlay. Does not work over Lawnchair V2.

What is at a glance supposed to accomplish? Just date or (when working) date time and weather can be better served with chronus.

Double tap to lock with timer: Reset after exercising. Otherwise screen wakeup disabled for a times. Best not to set to zero, use 2-5 seconds.

At a glance options are in the main menu!!! :eek:

Turn it off in the at a glance options:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Turning at a glance off from that menu does remove it from the desktop.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
At a glance in the menu controls Lawnchair placing its widget.

Placing Google's or somebody else's done like any other widget.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I know, acknowledge and fully understand that :good:

I can place the at a glance widget from the Google app betas on my desktop (V2) the same as any other widget.

I replied to a comment that a poster could not find the option to turn off the at a glance widget, which I'm very surprised about seeing as the at a glance options are in Lawnchairs main menu! :eek:

Google page open sensitivity need fix to get more responsive. Edit: maybe more to do with velocity, or just my phone. And mine still won't show weather when Google app's widget can show it just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I just wondered if you have the weather turned on, weather is working fine on all my devices and people have been posting here complaining the weather doesn't show when they have it switched off in their at a glance settings.......

Just a suggestion, but if you have your weather switched on and it's not showing, it may be "your phone" as you said.

I have Samsung/Sony Xperia/Nokia and a couple of older Archos derived devices here, no issues with Google page sensitivity or weather not showing.

Take a look at my screenshot (Nokia 3 android 8.0)
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
I always wondered what does this weather option actually, since nothing happens when the switch is on (Note 8, Lawnchair v1).

I can confirm this is an issue with the lawn chair widget as the one on Paphonbs pixel launcher works, as does the Google app widget.

I'm not sure why it worked and now doesn't, maybe I was too quick to try to confirm its was working ok.

Nice. Just tried. How do you get it to show the weather? Mine is only showing the date.

[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
I use the default one from the launcher, but AFAIK, if you want the weather you need to have also the location enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] RoccoN4:
Ya. Have location enabled. Still nothing. Oh well. Will keep using Another Widget until this gets sorted out.

Just curious, DT2S works fine for me, did you check if it is in your root manager app? When I tried it first time it didn't work, but Lawnchair was only not granted in root section of Magisk Manager, so I granted it and now it works fine.

As for the DT2S, I did check magisk and gave root permission to lawnchair. But when I double tap the home screen nothing happens
[Android Apps and Games] ParallaxY:
Is it just me or this lawnchair v2 is lag and stutter sometimes ?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
That's expected from an alpha version on some model phones. Other devices it might work well.

Give them time to work on it to make it stable or at least a beta and performance will be increased in your device
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
I'm suffering no lag/stutter at all, multiple Oreo devices / several nougat devices as well.

[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Are you running nougat?

AFAIK The Google wallpaper app can only change BOTH homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper if the device is running android 7.0+

Obviously the wallpaper picker Is a separate app to lawnchair.

I can confirm I can change home and lock wallpaper on a 7.1 xperia device using Google wallpaper app with no issues.

But as you have a Huawei, who knows? They do some pretty strange things when you try to use third party launchers on them......

How in the world have I not heard about this launcher?!? It's exactly what I've been looking for but didn't know it existed. I've searched for pixel launcher apk's before and never came across it.

It works perfectly on my Nexus 6 with LOS15. On my Nexus 5 with LOS14 the "Google app", left of the home screen, doesn't show the "Dark Theme" but everything else is dark themed. I'm running today's most recent release of 2.0-269 on both devices.
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
Glad you found lawnchair but just a littke fyi

AFAIK the dark theme for the Google feed doesn't work on android nougat (or lineage 14 based on nougat) - as the dark and light theme feature is for Oreo devices only.

I know I have a 7.1 device laying around and it doesn't work but works fine on my Oreo devices.

Might be an idea to check with the development team via telegram about that, they are a great bunch, very friendly and always having a laugh.
