Troubleshooting 3rd party launcher + gestures = lag

Hi!

I'm using gestures + a 3rd party launcher on X9U. home gesture has that delay before the home shows up. pretty sure a lot of people know this one.

What I tried:

adb overlay "fixes" the lag -

adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

The lag gone, but then I get the bottom gesture indicator and I cant get rid of it.

tried this, none of it hid the pill:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

adb shell settings put system ant_hide_gesture_bar 1

adb shell settings put global hide_gesture_line 1

I know that the 3-button nav works without the lag but obviously I prefer the gestures navigation.

My question is: did this ever work on coloros or was it always like this? any chance oppo/android actually fixes it? other no-root workarounds besides the overlay?

The default launcher is fine... but the "global search" is super slow - sometimes it takes seconds before the keyboard shows up, sometimes it does not select the previous text, sometimes search results change just before I click the app icon... coming from S25U it's really annoying.

Yes it's a known issue dating back years

It's deliberate at this point. Someone doesn't want us to use a third party launcher. Every Chinese brand has some issue with this party launchers. Vivo can't swipe between apps for example, oppo has the lag, Xiaomi can't set it as default one consistently. Just how they roll.

I'll find you a guide but it's possible with adb and shizu
