    How? I tried, but 3rd party launchers work worse because they load up after you close an app. Pixel Launcher has privileged permissions and can have smooth animations

      I use Lawnchair and don’t have this problem. I also didn’t do anything special, just set it up as the default launcher.

        Do you use the legacy three buttons navigation?

            Okay, so that’s why it’s working fine for you!

            As soon as you enable the new gesture navigation, 3rd party launchers will “break”

      It sounds like the launcher app is killed while in the background. Make sure that the app is allowed to run in the background and not have any battery optimization enabled.

        It’s not killed, it’s that gesture navigation expects the launcher to be already rendered behind the foreground app, and 3rd party launchers can’t do that

      They (kinda) work on Samsung now if you turn off the animations. Regardless, the custom launcher on Android is dead.

        Well I don’t prefer gesture navigation but to suggest custom launchers on Android are dead is some of the most absurd shit I’ve read in a while.
