Maybe it's just Marshmallow but should my FB messenger icon not have the number for the amount of messages I received? Same with texts, missed calls etc nothing shows. Ok I'm reading a thread that someone had the same question and it mentions Nova launcher. Do I need a new launcher or is there an app to add it?
the n6 does not do that by default. the lg phone is also running lg software on top of android, that's where your numbers are coming from.
I'm happy with asus zenui launcher, it shows what you need.

The Asus launcher is fine if you happen to like the iCrap look.
There are multiple third-party launchers that have an unread counts notification. Most require you to download a separate app to provide the functions. Many will require you to purchase their "Pro" version to get it. Best of the bunch is Nova, hands down.
Cool thanks everyone. I'm gonna try the Zenui launcher and see how I like it
How do I uninstall Zenui? I'm googling but my "uninstall" button is greyed out in the apps section

In settings under security there is a device administrators section. If an app is set as a device administrator it will cause the uninstall button to be greyed out. If you uncheck the box so the app is no longer a device administrator you will be able to uninstall it.

ok cool yeah I see that would have been the easiest. I went to settings - apps - and unchecked some things in the app and then was able to un install. I'll try nova, thanks

Thanks to everyone much more adept than I am and who write clear directions, I've been able to root my NC and load APK files onto it using ADB. But, being the relative newbie that I am, here's my question--how do I REMOVE applications that I either don't want or that don't seem to work once I install them? I don't see an ADB command for that, but maybe I'm missing it. Thanks!
If you haven't already, install LauncherPro. Then to uninstall apps all you have to do is drag the program icon icon that you want to uninstall over to the the trash can on the homescreen. Hold it over the trashcan until the "drop to unisntall" comes up and then release the icon. Done and done.
I installed Launcher Pro, and dragged the icons to the trash can. But the apps still show up in my list of apps (in Launcher Pro) and in the Extras of the NC. I want to get rid of them entirely. Should I use Terminal Emulator to do that? And if so, what's a good apk file for that?
Thanks!

If you follow my instructions carefully it will uninstall the app. You have to hold the icon over the trashcan until the dialog pops up. Then release.

adw also does this. just as a note.
Additionally, using task killer, open the program, and then open ATK. long press on the app in the list, and select "details/force stop". There's an option to uninstall the app from that list.

I thought I had replied that I had realized I hadn't followed your instructions to the letter but that on re-reading, I recognized you had given me the answer. (I also clicked on thanks). Apparently the "quick reply" didn't get the job done. Chalk it up to my inexperience.
Everybody should be using Titanium Backup. It is probably the single most useful app I have.
You can uninstall, "Freeze", and back up. Its one of the few apps I've paid for and its worth it. The free version is fine too.

It is THE best app out there..hands down! Especially for r00ters!
It was VERY worth the $3.00 MANY times over...many many many times over.

Hey,
After switching launchers I've stopped using samsungs taskmanager, so I've deleted it.
but now when hitting the shortcut to the taskmanager in the 'recent apps' popup my phone crashes.
So now I'm wondering, is it possible to redirect that button to boot something else?
(A task switching app, for example)
I've already tried the obvious, renaming an apk and put it in /system/app but my phone'll still crash.
thanks in advance!
Don't no if it is the easy way but perhaps you can try to do a factory reset on the phone and then, with titanium backup, delete the unnecessary apps.
If you're not using the Touchwiz Launcher, shouldn't there not be a link to Samsung's Task Manager on the recent apps list? Maybe the recent apps pop-up isn't done by the launcher though, I could be wrong.

There is indeed a link to samsungs taskmanager, but my goal is to configure my phone in such a way I can make the button boot an app I set it to.
For example, I would like to boot my internet browser when I'd hit the button INSTEAD of the task manager.

Maybe you misunderstood, read my comment on the other reply, I'd like to set the task manager button to an app of my own choice.
Any ideas?
Uh... you'd have to edit the actual APK file. But beyond that, I have no idea.

Okay, that sounds clear.
Is that practicially possible without the source code?

I haven't a clue. But surprisingly, by opening it like it's a .zip file, there's a bit you can change. I have no idea if you'll be able to accomplish what you want though. I'm not too experienced in this area.
I have rooted and installed Null, with Nova launcher however i much prefer the touchwiz interface because the watch face i like is full screen.
Anyway, I have google voice search installed and would like to add the app to the favourites list. Is this possible as it doesnt show on on the gear manager on my s3
Thanks

i don't know which watch face are you using, i never had problem with watch faces being full screen.. but if you really like touchwiz (yuck!) best you could probably do is to remake it all using desktop visualizer plugin. that's like 15 minutes top i think.

Its just that there is a small border going all around the clock face, it doesnt go right to the edges.
Im not really clued up on coding or designing, so unless there is a setting to make this happen I'd be pretty clueless
I notice all apps that installed with null show on my gear manager and can be set as a favourite. Anyway I can do this for apps installed myself, like the google search app?

I think they need to be system apps and you need to wipe/reconnect gear before they turn up in gm

Sorry I don't understand... If I wipe my gear that will remove the google search app? How can I then add it as a favourite?

System apps stay on device and don't get wiped (I think you can use something like titanium backup to convert app to a system app or move the apk to /system/app). Then once you wipe your device and reconnect to gear manager, gear manager will add it to list of installed apps. Just click the plus sign to add to favourites

Thanks, I don't feel confident enough to start messing with system apps just yet.
Funny enough, When I installed google search it installed two widgets, google now and google search bar. They appear in gear manager and can be added to the favourites screen. How's this possible.

Right, plucked up the courage to try this and it worked - google remained installed.
Problem is, it is the widgets that show up in the gear manager, not the app. Any ideas?
If anyone has a solution to this problem please please help me.
It's the one thing I want to make this device perfect for my needs. I just cant seem to get the google voice search icon on my favourites.
I've moved the google search app to a ssytem app and it just gives the options in gear manager for the widgets not the app icons.

Soft boot should achieve it as well as a power down and restart.
As I remember it's always been like that, not a bug per se. Installing an app that has widgets needs a reboot to see them in the widget menu.
I am screwing with widgets, especially Zooper, all the time I guess I've never seen this issue because I run Apex or Nova.

I use GNow exclusively as well. since right now I'm stock and unmodded, then it would be a 5.1 issue to me ... but let's clarify, one installs an app, and you then go to the widget listings, and you see it? I've seen some that do get included right away, and some I have to reboot to then get to to place on a homescreen.

next time it doesnt show up in the widget menu, go to the developer options in the main settings and press restart system ui.

just got my x2 pro and i am having trouble in turning on "swipe left for google now feed" feature. have never used color os before so i am clueless. please help me out.
It is very possible the Feed is not on that launcher. You may need to install a third party launcher to do that.

i got it working perfectly but it took some time to get it to work right.
i am using nova/nova prime and downloaded the nova google companion apk from teslacoils website.
this is what i did in this order:
download nova(and nova prime if you have it)
use adb to uninstall the stock launcher(com.oppo.launcher)for swipe gesture controls to work you can only use the back on left or right bottom selection
use adb to uninstall the oem browser (com.nearme.browser)
use adb to uninstall athena (com.coloros.athena)<--- once you remove this when going to recent app you will have to swipe them away manually to close the X will not close them
use adb to uninstall (com.oppo.quicksearchbox)
then go to google and type in nova google companion (should see a link to download the apk) install it
give nova/nova prime/companion all autostart/background running permissions
it should work after those steps are followed. also the good new is once the athena is removed notifications come through without issue for 3rd party apps (facebook/instagram/snapchat etc) just have to give all permissions to display (autostart is only allowed for 5 non system apps) bust since athena is gone even the apps that i dont have autostarting are coming through without delay.
hope this helps!!!
