    Huh, I’ve only ever used Nova Launcher since full screen gestures were introduced, and I’ve never had a problem, but maybe I’m missing a feature the stock launcher provides?

    The only annoying thing is the useless unhidable navigation pill, but there’s a Magisk module to hide it.

      The only thing you are missing is smooth animations while minimizing apps or triggering the app switcher, swipe between apps works fine.

        That seems to work pretty well for me. Predictive back doesn’t work but I think I can survive without it.

          If your device has more than 60 hz, perhaps that feature might mask this a bit, but definitely stock launcher will always have smoother animations than third parties if you are using full screen gestures, I am currently in MIUI (I was on AOSP before) and well, I can’t even install another launcher here, but I can confirm it is as smooth as it can be.

            No, I wish I did though. I have a Pixel 6A currently running Android 15 The stock launcher might be smoother but I have pretty much only used it for 1 weeks time in total before I get frustrated as hell and switch back to Nova my beloved.

          They are quite annoying to me, especially if I am multitasking fast, it will kinda get stuck in the middle of the usage… And that is not nice.
