How do i change the new tab page?
On my last phone i could make it so new tabs opened blank but in my nexus chrome browser i dont see that in the settings

In one of the chrome versions they revamped the new tab page. There was a way to revert it I don't remember it on top of my head but it was on a secret page.
Do a Google search and you can find it, somewhere between the lines disable new chrome tab view.

If I add another bookmark, other than thoose in the list allready.. How do I give them a nice thumbnail, like the preinstalled bookmarks has it?
once you've added the bookmark, navigate to it in the browser using the link in bookmarks (not from just typing the url) and allow the page to load fully.
If it still doesn't show up try removing the widget and reinstating it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think this does the trick....
But I tryed choosing Menu->"Windows" and hit the "+" then it looks like it updates the bookmark thumb.. but im not sure

[Q] Is it possible to replace folder icons with static text?

First off I have tried searching for anything that does this for a bit now, and at least as far as threads on XDA go I found one from 2011.
Basically I just want the text in the attached screenshot to act as a normal home screen folder but display text instead of the folder icon or the app icon previews. By act as a normal folder I mean being able to drag apps into it and be able to expand it with a tap.

I've tried minimalistic text, simple text, and desktop visualizer with no luck. Additionally I've tried using the settings in Nova Prime Launcher but the options it has does not support this idea.
I haven't used it in a year or so, but sounds like something ssLauncher could do.

[Q] Bottom Home screen Icons shifted

Hi..
I am wondering if anyone can help me with this, the bottom row of icons that comes by default on the phone and are supposed to be fixed (dialer, Google folder, play store and messaging) have somehow came to be exactly behind the Home back and recent apps icons, where as they are supposed to be slightly above them. It is really irritating, I can't seem to be able to change their location.
Why dont you for example change launcher(Nova) and then go in Nova settings-desktop-desktop grid and change number of rows to 4 or 5.

Thanks !! But what is the reason
Hi..
Thanks for the advice, nova launcher is just fine and did it, but it is still strange that the default launcher behaved like this. It would be interesting to know what is the reason.

Question concerning Stock ROM..

I recently went back to stock from Cloudy G3, and under voice actions under Google Now, I have the option for From Google Search app, From Any Screen, and From Lock Screen. With just run From Search App checked I use to be able to run a search from the home screen on the G3 ROM, as long as the Google search widget was there. Does it not work from the stock G2 ROM this way? The only way to get a Ok Google to work from the home screen now is if I have both From Google Search app checked, and From Any Screen checked.

OOS 4.0.2 telephone link handling

Has anyone else noticed that ever since OOS hit nougat, the way it handles linking phone numbers has changed and become a pain in the butt? Now, when I click a phone number, I'm only given the option to add a contact or to close out and go back to the app I was using before. There's no option to actually dial that number... See attached screenshot.

It works for me . Did you add the permission to phone to your browser?
