I stopped using third party launchers since they began to suck because the full screen gestures, I think since A11.

Short unresponsiveness to other inputs when you return home while having gesture navigation turned on. It's very annoying.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this pretty much.

[–] ijeff 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Has this been fixed in more recent versions of Android perhaps? Not experiencing this on the S21U or S23U.

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm using a Pixel 7, so pretty sure I'm on the newest version.

QuickSwitch used to be the perfect fix for this but basically no launchers other than Lawnchair wanna integrate it and Lawnchair is kinda dead πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Yeah I know, I think Pixel Launcher Extended uses it, that's why it behaves so great.

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're a lot better in Android 13 from my experience

[–] theredhood@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Exactly, the small lag from multitasking on home that many people were complaining about is gone in A13. Not many people talked about that though.

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just checked. It's still there

[–] theredhood@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's weird, maybe it's a pixel issue. I've had no lags ever since updating to android 13. Here's a video of it https://giphy.com/gifs/KzsTFd0JIvCc9MWI52

Not for me mate, nothing beats smoothness of Pixel Launcher, or whatever stock launcher that comes with the ROM... Or that uses Quickswitch for custom ROMs.

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.film 0 points 1 year ago

Yea no 3rd party launcher is as smooth as the default ones still, but it's noticably better than it was when I tried a couple years back

Not being able to remove the Google search bar on the pixel launcher is a dealbreaker to me
