How Do I disable... - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

[Q] Disable Google Now

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.

maybe this will get you part way there?

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.

LP 5.1 :: 2 locks screens?

So I just factory reset and there is (swipe) lockscreen in addtion to my pattern lockscreen. I changed the security to "none" which removes the pattern LS but doesn't remove the swipe LS. How do I get rid of the swipe lockscreen?

No, this is the moto lock screen with moto notifications. some times after unlocking it, I get another "lock screen" which I can simply swipe up and get the home screen back.
I started receiving the swipe to unlock before the PIN unlock screen after installing GravityBox LP and a few other xposed modules but haven't researched a fix yet.
Try

Try turning on Ambient Display, under Settings/Display. I have mine set for pin lock but that specific lock screen does not turn on, either by the power button or waving my hand over it.

my understanding is that is the notification lock screen. That's where you'll see the cards for whatever you have set for the notification screen. Swipe up, and you can unlock based on your method. It's also the screen where you'll have the music controller if you're playing some tunes.
I thought I would hate it, but I am totally used to it now, easy to get a quick look at what's happening without having to unlock. Just be sure the "show all content" on your notification options..

I agree that it's nice, I just like Motorola's smart display better where waving my hand over the phone shows me the time and icons of notifications I have and touching these icons show me their contents. It's more a more private way of seeing what's happening without unlocking your phone.
If you are rooted and have xposed you can install gravity box. Go to lock screen settings and under direct unlock choose standard.

left aligned launcher?

Is there a way or am I searching it wrong to put the launcher on the left side when in landscape mode? Looking for an app mod or anything? I'm not sure where else to ask this question and I didn't see it while searching.
What do you mean launcher? Launcher is all your home screens and app drawer.. Did you mean dock?
He means nav bar...
Never seen one myself, but perhaps try pie controls? Not the same but let's you swipe you nav controls onto the screen from top/bott/left/right depending om settings.
Again, not directly what you ask for but will let you operate nav buttons with that left hand.
Easiest would be to lookup lmt pie controls 2.5 here on xda, or Google and look for the xda link. You will need root.
Oh, I forgot about nav bars. I've used pie for so long, I forget nav bars even exist. Nasty, screen real-estate grabbing, pointless buttons of crap
Sorry guys im an idiot... II did mean the dock/nav bar where your app launcher and such are. Pie is great but not really what im looking for.

Sorry, dock and nav bar are 2 different things.. Which one do you mean? Can you screen shot?
..or do you mean both?

Ok that is dock.
Again, this might not be something you want but I remove my dock and use glovebox to swipe in from the left.. It's always left though even in portrait.. Then it auto hides.
I'm not aware of a mod to change the dock in stock launcher. I'm not aware of any 3rd party launcher that does it. Can't see a setting on nova.
Hmm good stuff, I wonder if there would be a way to make it persistent but that just might do.
Turn your phone in the opposite direction so the volume/power buttons point down?

No Multi window option in OOS 4.0

Hi all I updated my OOS to 4.0 but could not found multi window option in setting page.
Any help is appreciated
For multi window got to recent apps view and simply drag one of the apps to bottom or top part of the screen. It will take the respective screen half and leave the recent apps view in the other half letting you select second app.

Thanks. That works. Seems you need to long press before dragging the app to top or bottom of the screen.

I've tried software buttons and can't figure out why I would want to use them... Anyhow, for those use hardware buttons:
Go to Options > Buttons
Here, pick which hardware button you want to use. I think the Android norm is the "recents" button. Regardless, pick the button you want to use and whether you want tap, long press, or double tap. Then you will get the menu that was posted above by gbroon where you select the "open/close split screen" option.
Now you can launch the split screen mode with that button action.

Help! Weird Nova Launcher "widget" on home screen - can't get rid of it.

So I was playing around with some widgets a couple weeks ago and somehow got this Nova "thing" on the side of my screen and can't figure out how to remove it. Seems it's always right in the way, lol. Screenshot below, but a few points:
a.) It's on every page of launcher home screen
b.) I can drag it and keep it anywhere vertically on the side of screen
c.) I can drag it to the other side of the screen but not drop it anywhere in between.
Hope someone can help me here, I feel pretty stupid on this one, thanks!

Usually you can drag any widget all the way to the top and a "remove" X will appear to drop it on. If long pressing doesn't give a menu option to remove or delete I would look at my backups. Even if your backup is weeks or months old, restoring it will get rid of the widget and you can quickly arrange things the way they were before. If you don't have any backups, make one and uninstall Nova. Then reinstall and restore to see if the widget is gone.

Ah, good point about the backups, I'll check to see if I have any - I may have some on my cloud drive that I backed up after reset as well. I had looked for the droppable to delete it but wasn't there, was kinda hellbent on figuring out what exactly it is or is supposed to do but I'm just happy to get rid of it at this point. Thanks for the help!
Ever solve this? I have same issue
I have no idea why no one has responded to this but it's actually quite simple go into settings then go to accessibility then choose Nova launcher and you'll see the option to turn off Nova launcher shortcut
