Odd unresponsiveness with LOS/mG 21 on the FP4

Help Fairphone 4
1

Hey all, I just got my brand new FP4 set up with my ROM of choice, Lineage for microG, and I’m pretty happy overall. The touchscreen isn’t quite as responsive as my old Oneplus 6, but I’m getting used to that.

What puzzles me is that periodically, the recents button in the navigation bar will just… stop working. When I tap it, it will highlight as usual, but the recent apps screen doesn’t appear.
It takes a reboot for it to work again, for a while. I worry it’s the actual process, not the button that’s at fault.

Is anyone else experiencing similar or have ideas about what can be done?

Thanks in advance!

That sounds like this FP5 issue,

maybe try the described workaround, even if the stock launcher is not Quickstep

There are a lot of workarounds in that thread, not sure which one you give more credence?
One of them is installing a diffferent ROM, and here I am, with the same problem on Lineage :person_shrugging:

Edit: I’m going to suppose the gestures conflict is the issue for now, and disable those.

I was only/mainly referring to the post I linked and if this does not help the post linked by k3dAR… I was surely not referring to installing another OS

Edit to your edit: yes sure gestures might also be broken

My bad, I read on through the thread and forgot you linked a specific post.

K3dar’s workaround doesn’t really apply here, I think, as I’m not using the stock FP launcher? But like I said, there are lots of suggested solutions in the thread, and I appreciate you pointing me there!

Yes as I said

So just do this with the LOS launcher

Got it. Will test that :+1:

To get to the root of this, I trawled through the previous thread that @yvmuell pointed out:

The cited workaround didn’t work for me, but several people noted that turning off gestures in their launcher(s) helped at least temporarily, so I did that for a start.

The launcher issue made me consider the different launcher apps I had installed: I prefer KISS launcher for its simplicity and small fooyprint, but I also had Lawnchair installed as well as Trebuchet, Lineage OS’ stock launcher.

I uninstalled the former and disabled the latter to avoid conflicting settings, and I haven’t had this persistent problem with the recents screen since.

Thanks to @yvmuell for pointing me in the right direction!
