[Q] Disable Google Now - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I am wanting to disable the swipe up from the bottom action that opens Google Now. I want to be able to disable to soft buttons and instead use Pie or gestures to control everything. I am not able to do that though as long as the swipe up Google Now is enabled. Any ideas?
Also, does anyone know of a way, if I swipe up, the current screen I am on will literally slide up and return to the home screen? There was a tweak for this on iPhone and it is about the only thing I miss from ios. The ability to swipe up and return to the home screen is very quick and doesn't require pushing the home button.
Thanks for the help!

Anyone have any experience with this? I'd really like to get this figured out. Thanks!

these are the options i get when i swipe up. if i choose nothing, for always not just once,, then nothing will happen when swiping up.

I don't want to disable the swipe up gesture entirely though. I just don't want it to engage Google now. I want it to slide up the current screen and return me to the home screen.

now just need an app or maybe a tasker task / other intent that invokes the home screen.

Thanks I'll have to check that out. At the very least I think that would allow me to reassign the swipe up so it opens Pie.

How Do I disable...

First of all I have searched for this on Google and XDA and canot find answer so I appologize if its been made and I over looked it.
I don't know what the screen is called but after you unlock your phone it shows this annoying screen with recent calls contacts and the dialer option everytime I unlock my device. Is there away to disable this screen?
Are you swiping from left to right to unlock? If so that unlocks into the phone app, you will see the icon in the bottom left corner and it glows and gets bigger to indicate it is opening into it. If you swipe from right to left you get the camera. Simple solution is to swipe up to unlock.

I have only had the Nexus 6 for two days now, went through the settings and dont see anything for this option.
Sorry for the LARGE photo, I have no idea why its so large.

No there is not, not with stock lockscreen anyway. Look in the corners. Bottom left is a shortcut to the phone app, bottom right is a shortcut to the camera app. If you swipe from left, you open phone, and right will open camera. Swipe up unlocks.
All you can do is change your lockscreen app if it bugs you, or get used to it.

Thank you, I just flashed Chroma so hopefully there is a option. Sorry for such a stupid question.

Some custom ROMs do allow you to change the shortcuts, or set them to none. I would imagine Chroma is one of those, but I am not sure about that.
Chroma doesn't have that option anymore. The dev said no one used that option so he took it out. I always used it...

Full screen mode stopped working

Any idea why the full screen mode suddenly stopped working? Is there some hidden setting for that what Bixby changed etc. etc. when using a ton of voice commands :victory:
I have enabled full screen mode in "settings->display->full screen" and all of my programs are allowed to use full screen, but none of them do. And if I disable eg. Chrome and then launch Chrome it asks whether I want to run it in full screen or not. I press "run in full screen" but the navigation bar still persist

App switcher bug & Poorly designed navigation bar?

I've been using the Mate 20 for the past 24hours, being first time Huawei/EMUI user, there are some weird experiences going on.
1. Bug - App switcher:
Open recent apps, I'm not able to switch apps by clicking the partially visible adjacent apps (will go to home screen)
The only way to switch apps is by scrolling to the desired app and make sure it shows at the middle of the screen, then click it.
2. Navigation Bar Experience - EMUI? Android 9? :
The navigation keys' positioning is kinda bad. The icons are too packed at the middle of the screen, instead they should be placed more evenly, and the clickable areas should be widen. (I drawn an image below to better explain this)
I'm not sure this is an EMUI thing or Android Pie thing? How to make a suggestion to Huawei?

This is not solution
I agree, the current nav button setup is stupid.
Hope they fix this issue. Until then I'm using Fluidng.

The nav button is controlled by Huawei, or Android 9?

It's controlled by Huawei, btw it's shifted like that because there's a "rotate" button that appears on the nav bar when you tilt your phone and auto rotate is off, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWOp1b-5thQ

I see. But that is rarely used. It shouldn't affect the main navigation keys that are the basic function of a phone.

Weather on Lock Screen & AOD

This seems like it should be VERY simple, but I can't figure it out... I just want to have weather displayed on my lock screen and always on display.
I went into Settings - Lock Screen - FaceWidgets - selected Weather, and the "show on Always on Display" option -- no luck.
Suggestions? I must be missing something...
S10 on TMobile
Would also like to know... haven't been able to find out how.
Their implementation blows. On AOD, you have to double tap the time then scroll. On Lock screen, you have to scroll the time. Makes it pretty worthless.

I was trying to figure this out. Thanks.
You can change the order.
It's kind of in a strange settings under lockscreen-face widgets.
At least then you don't have to swipe 5 times

Google Assistant popping up on Power-Button Long Press

Hey there,
is there a way, to remove the behavior that a long press on the power-button first starts the google assistant instead of getting directly to the "power menu"? I've tried to disable it in the settings which gives me then the option to activate the assistant and unless we gain root, i assume all the bloatware can't be uninstalled
Would another Launcher (https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-home-10-0-0-40-t3369220) fix it?
Edit:
In the System Settings under "Intelligent Support" (or something like that) there you have "Shortcuts and gestures" there you can disable this behaviour.
Best regards
Seel

Thanks a lot for the tip, I thought this was a bug and not a feature.

You're welcome! Unfortunately you have to press the Power Button really long until the Power-Menu is seen... but this is a first world problem But atleast the Google Assistant isn't nagging around...
Anyone know of a way to remap this functionality? Eg, get holding power button to open the camera instead? I know there's the double-tap volume down shortcut, but that only works when the screen is locked and if no media is playing.
Yes, You can customize Volume button on long press behavior for example with button mapper app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton . I'm using this app to remap Netflix button on my Android powered TV's remote control and here on P30 Pro to launch camera app.

On the subject of Google Assistant, can anyone confirm this bug on their device?
Place phone in airplane mode, 'accidentally' activate Google Assistant, screen will stay on forever. I noticed this as I often leave my phone face down and plugged in on the side (it's my second device) and I came down one morning to find the screen lit. I'd obviously activated assistant by catching the power button. Luckily I don't seem to have any screen burn.
No Launchers do not change power button settings
