Use native Pixel 4 launcher or Nova??

It really comes down to personal choice. Like @Hadron mentioned, the Pixel Launcher does (currently) integrate more fully with the gesture-based navigation than any third-party launcher (currently) can.

I was an avid user of Action Launcher for years, but with the Pixel 3 I actually found that the Pixel Launcher was quicker and more responsive. It may not be as flexible, but I haven't looked back.

So yeah, up to you. :)

Help No Google notifications when phone is off

That sounds like it's getting a connection, then showing alerts it couldn't when there wasn't one. I know you don't have Data Saver on, but check your settings for anything that blocks a communication-type action when the phone is sleeping.

Also, see if changing your 'override do not disturb' settings helps. For Calendar, it's kind of convoluted getting there, but start in System Settings, and then Notifications. If you can't find its DND setting, post back.

Can't seem to find any setting that would affect Google when phone is off. Not able to find any override do not disturb setting for Google app either, although I don't have do not disturb on.

Recurring email notification fix?

Thank you for your suggestion! I was unable to find any sort of a reminder feature anywhere in the settings...

I have noticed that, if there are notifications from other apps also present when this happens, the email notification shifts rapidly to the last place in the notifications bar and then resurfaces back on the first place and at this time, notification sound can be heard. This all happens very quickly, 1 second is the max duration

Unfortunately I am not open to using other apps, everything else with this app is completely fine and I do not want to clutter my phone with apps

skystream

I need to know how to get pluto tv onto my skystream box. I live in Canada where it's not available but I heard there's a way to do it. I've moved myself to Detroit through a GPS emulator but it still doesn't show up on google play

You'll more than likely need to move your IP address into the US as well, using a VPN, once you've got the app installed. Pluto TV will only stream to IP addresses in the US.

How to Root Galaxy J3

Welcome to Android Forums, Asif Ahmed Taiyeb!

Please follow the link @James L posted. Do not--repeat, DO NOT--use any one-click root method. :eek:

At best, they may root your phone, but you won't learn anything from the experience. At worst, they can do devilish things you'll be unaware of. Do it yourself or don't do it at all!
Amen!!!!!!!!

I concur. One step methods ate not the way top go. Learning how to root is key and will provide you with skills that you might need later on when things go wrong.

Create an app to access and external exported activity

Hi! I am new in Android development, I would like to ask how would be the code for an app "A" with a button to call an activity from another app "B" that is exported. If this activity give you access to sdcard files, how can I download those files or modify those files from the app "A". This would be for hacking demonstration purposes

You'll be using Intents. Google has guides to teach you how to do that and there are other sites on the web with tutorials.

Read the last sentence in the first paragraph, which is what you described that you'd like to do.
