Hi all,
I added the Google Experience Launcher after the last search update. While playing around I added a home screen. Anybody know how to remove it once it's added?
Thanks,
Lenny

Shure go to settings, find "apps" there you can find your GEL browser, delete it and your back to stock

Ah, sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not trying to remove the launcher apk, I added a home screen to the right when I was playing around with the Google Experience Launcher, I just want to remove that extra home screen so I have the main one and Google Now to the left. Adding the extra home screen was easy, but I can't figure out how to remove it.

Pull everything you have off of it, and it'll disappear.

Thanks, that worked. I originally had nothing on it, don't know why it stayed before. I added a widget though, then removed it and the screen was removed too.

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:
We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...
Has anyone had problems with the lock screen widgets. I apply a widget but my phone won't unlock. When I swipe to unlock it just go right back to the lock screen. It just loops over and over. The only way to unlock the phone is to swipe on one of the shortcuts on the bottom of the screen to go to app from the shortcut but not the home screen.

No problems here....which widget did you use? I just used Google Now Cards and its working for me just fine.
Yep, happened to me too with dashclock widget. Will download a new lock screen to try. Probably a stock android one on the play store.

Looks pretty bad yeah, I used the analog clocks instead, still doesn't look good. But the problem is the widgets are not clickable. I read something about them not being scrollable too, which may explain why they're not clickable. I'm looking for a lock screen replacement that allows for widgets but no dice yet. Only that ugly lockscreen widget app.

Yep, that's what I mean. That's the problem I'm getting. They offer like 7 different lock screens yet they don't offer the stock android one. Still looking for a replacement lock screen. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

To add lockscreen widgets, go to settings > personalize > lock screen and change it to widgets
Any widget I used gets stuck in a loop and I can't unlock the phone. I had "battery widget reborn" and when I try to place it even on the home screen it locks the screen and it gets stuck. Maybe it's a bug in "battery widget reborn"?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4
I noticed to get the widgets to work, you have to drag down on the widget (you'll see a blue box being dragged down,) then you should be able to use it.
I ended up getting widget locker. It's actually pretty awesome. Thanks to HTC's 25 bucks haha. 3 bucks ain't so bad either. Now I have a stock lock screen with better widget support.

I figured out the problem. I had to uninstall "battery reborn" app. It was causing a glitch in the lock screen. My widget now works like it should.

Hey everybody. If you hate BlinkFeed like I do, here's how you can get it out of your way, this info came straight from HTC.
To turn BlinkFeed off on your HTC One M8, check this out: http://s.htc.com/1lrBnbX. To turn it off on your One M8, slide two fingers together while on the feed and tap BlinkFeed On to toggle it off.

You can also go in to settings/personlize/manage home screen pages and remove it completely or touch and hold to add widgets and turn it off there in the top left corner you will see a little blue square that lets you toggle it on or off. I think this is a NEW feature in KitKat . Because I am running the stock rom ust bootloader unlocked and rooted is all I have done so far.
I use the Google Now Launcher, so no issues for me.

How did you get the Google now launcher to work?
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I followed the instructions on the first link when googling "Google Now Launcher digital trends" Sorry, about not linking. I'm a new user here so I can't post link.
the PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and Velvet.apk seemed to fail install, but the GoogleHome.apk did install and everything seems to work. All in all, I've been enjoying it. I liked the Themer launcher too, but the Google Now Launchers always listening "OK Google" feature has been too nice to give up. I'm not positive but I think the Google Now Launcher is burning through a little more battery life.

You'll have to do a Google search for it, it will be an .apk file.

not seeing a blue box, just the edit box which merely removes the page

I highly recommend Google Now Launcher for which you need to download the apk and side load it, as well as Xposed GELS to completely customize your screen.
I use the Google Now Launcher, so no issues for me too.
Hello. This is a screenshot of my girlfriends s5. Trying to figure out what this red film icon is. It's stuck on her screen. It is almost like it's part of the wallpaper because if you move between screens, it stays where it is. You can't click on it or long clock on it either. Tried changing wallpapers and it did not fix it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
She is using Nova launcher, FYI.

Not sure what caused it. It was the same icon as play video or whatever it's called. Got rid of it by restarting her phone. Very strange.

I use the layers theme Textile OS
Oh right looks good. I'm using sky blue night layer theme.
Managed to find that app drawer icon though which I'm using ATM. Where did you get yours from? Thanks.

Try no icon and use gesture (depending on the launcher). The rest of your screen is six icons across except the dock. For example I use down swipe gesture to expand notifications, up swipe to open app drawer (with animation set to open app drawer from bottom of the screen), double tap to sleep, two finger swipe for quick settings.

You can take just the app drawer from Textile OS (Named finger) and use sky blue night, in the options of Layers Manager.
I like the ones in the Min icon pack.

I downloaded that app, and even got SkyBlue. but it doesn't seem to be sticking once it asks me for a soft reset.
I just noticed that it themed my setting, but not my icons, background, etc.
NOTE: I seen somewhere I might need BusyBox?

Don't use the soft reboot. I always do a full reboot and it works and you shouldn't need busybox. I don't have it installed.

I use the advanced reboot in gravitybox but that requires Xposed. I don't know how you feel about that cause I know some people just hate it. You can also get an app like terminal emulator and type su to grant superuser then type reboot. There might also be an app in the play store that could do it but I don't use those. Someone else would have to suggest one of those.
Is using Xposed a bad thing? If not I will throw it on this phone...

It depends on who you ask. I say research it and try it if you want. Just make a backup right before you install it and you can restore that if you don't like it. But personally, I don't think it's as bad as some people say.
