Animation issues

[ImagineRetro]

There has been a lot of improvement but there are a few animation glitches/delays yet. Swipe up to homescreen sometimes shows the app tray but the apps are greyed out so its a carousel of gray cards which one can't interact with. Sometimes the homescreen animation becomes the same ones as boot. Secondly, when switching to Picture in Picture mode from a video-streaming app (PiP), the homescreen doesn't appear until a few seconds and the screen only shows the wallpaper (without status bar). (Issues on a Pixel 6A with Pixel launcher stock).

Hi @ImagineRetro, Thank you for reporting the issue. It's important to note that the gesture navigation and animations are handled by a sub-module of your system launcher, and it's the responsibility of the phone manufacturer to optimize them for third-party launchers. Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do here. It's worth mentioning that Pixel devices tend to handle these animations quite well, so it's unclear why you are experiencing such issues.

Gesture Navigation Issues

I would also like to inform you that if you are using a beta build, there are known issues with gesture navigation on third-party launchers. As a temporary solution, I recommend switching to the 3-button navigation option until Google addresses these issues.

In addition, I would suggest trying the following steps:

1. Ensure you are on the latest version of the Niagara launcher

2. Restart the device
3. Clear the app data of your stock launcher and force stop it
