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.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 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.

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

Yeah, this pretty much.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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’«

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

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

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

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

[–] 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
