eOS 2.0 system navigation and navigation button broken if Bliss launcher was replaced with KISS launcher

  • /e/ version:
  • e-2.0-t-20240507399779-dev-dubai
  • e-2.0-t-20240507399779-dev-a52q
  • Device model(s):
  • dubai
  • a52q
  • Developer mode enabled: no
  • Device rooted: no
  • Trackers blocker enabled: yes

issue

Since eOS 1.16 I installed KISS launcher, set it as my home app, and uninstalled Bliss launcher with adb.

I updated the system regularly ( 1.17 ... and so on) but for the first time, after updating to 2.0t, the navigation square button (recent apps) and changing the system navigation mode from 3 button to 2 button do not work. (Settings > search “system navigation” or “2 button navigation” or “3 button navigation”)

expected behaviours

updating the system that has a different launcher other than Bliss does not break the system navigation / gestures

workaround

reinstall Bliss launcher with adb, set it as home app, switch again to KISS launcher

if user uninstalled the blisslauncher app he can run

adb shell pm install-existing --full foundation.e.blisslauncher

if user has disabled the blisslauncher app he can run

adb shell pm enable foundation.e.blisslauncher
