    Can you clear the Nova launcher‘s app data and see if that helps? Or you can try the Nova Launcher Prime APK and see if that helps otherwise!

    siba, this version is not a beta testing build, for later to propose it to the stable channel ?

    lineageos 16 has been out since 5 months why mi mix 2 still does not have update android lineageos 16 ?
    is there a bug or compatibility issues?
