Anyone else having these problems w/ 5.1? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i just picked up the 6 yesterday! Finally! It's a sweet phone and I'm glad i went w/ this over the note 4 for sure!
So a problem I am having is listed below. note that i am using Solo launcher and still have encryption enabled.
- When I click on any app in the app drawer it just kind of turns a shade of gray but nothing happens.. . the app won't open up! I have to drag it to my home screen first where I can then access it no problem. update: it appears this is a problem isolated to solo launcher, just emailed the dev.
- Chrome only lets me have one tab open at a time, it is not like normal where i can open multiple ones at the same time. i may be missing something here.

[Q] Only shortcuts of apps in 4.2.2 ?

In android 4.2.1 , if you moved app to the bar at the bottom or directly on your homescreen, you MOVED IT from app drawer. Now in android version 4.2.2, you just CREATE A SHORTCUT, so apps in the bar at the bottom are duplicated with apps with the app drawer and same with the apps on home screen. Is there any possibility to switch it back like in android 4.2.1 ?

on 4.2.1 if you moved apps from the drawer , they disappeared in the drawer. Now they stay there and only shortcut is created. Its really annoying for me because all apps i have on home screen or in the bottom bar are duplicated also in App drawer and my layout in app drawer is now messed up because of this. I can live with that, but i liked the way in 4.2.1 better

What do you mean? Apps on both places or both options ( move/create shortcut) available?

You can always hide the app in the drawer. Doesn't that work for you?

^ This.
Also I lol'd at this thread a little bit. Not because OP's gripe isn't legitimate, mind you, but because there were scores of threads when the HTC One first came out complaining about the app disappearing from the drawer when it was put on the dock. I found the irony chuckle worthy.

Personally, i like this on my Nexus 7 , but on HTC One, where you can switch to "custom" in app drawer and have folders there , it seems weird to have same folder in app drawer and also in the dock. But i'll just have to live with that.

Sorry I didn't remember that as I use Nova Launcher where you can hide them and still have the shortcuts.
Why don't you gather these duplicate icons in a folder then ? They will take less of your space.

Yeah, already tried that. But folders has limited capacity so i would need a number of folders, which is quite contraproductive.
Nevermind, it looks like i'll have to deal with this as i dont want to create any other folders or use any other launcher.
Just wanted to know, if there is any possibility how get switch this to the 4.2.1 behaviour.

New 290 themes nav-bar and walls not working together

I thought the transparent navigation bars were supposed to be able to show part of the wallpaper through them, but it isn't working for mine. Whenever I press the home button it snaps the wallpaper around like crazy, it zooms it in and for a second you can see the transparency working, but then it snaps back and the image starts from right above the bar, leaving an ugly dark space in there.
I haven't modded the phone or anything, I'm hoping there's a setting somewhere that messes it up for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Why my 290 doesn't have a pre-installed theme like that?:-o

No, you go to where you set themes and press the plus-icon in upper right. Takes you to where you can download them from Sony Select.
That's a weird issue, mine doesn't have this
Try clearing data for the Sony launcher

it is not preinstalled, you go to themes and click on + in the upper right corner to go to sony select and choose a theme that you want and then install it from play store.

I would like to know how did you make your navigation bar transparent? or if you didn't, what do you mean by "transparent" in your post?

Ok, the problem is temporarily solved.
I don't know how it fixed itself though. I had been using both the Album app and Quickpic to set wallpapers when I was having the problem, but when I used Wallpaper Wizardrii it worked like it should. Weird thing is, now afterwards it seems to work with the album app again.
Anyone else who would have the problem should try Wallpaper Wizardrii I guess. It's an app for optimally setting wallpapers, it has a cumbersome interface but it does what it says it does.

Not the entire bar, but part of it. It's just a feature some of the new themes have. See the attachment.

Understood.
Try uninstalling the theme, reboot, reinstall and see if it works.

Pixelfying 3T

So I have managed to install SR4 and get Xposed/Gravity Box going. I have installed the AndroidN-ify Module and get Google Assistant going and have installed Pixel Launcher. Only problem is that the long press on icons does not pop up the menus. Now is this something that is only part of N or is it part of the Launcher? Also Google Now Cards do not pop up when I swipe home screen.
Thanks for any help.

I believe it's system integration, nova however have it included as you can see in my screenshot. Did you download the apk or flash it? I found flashing the launcher gave me the swipe to Google.

Hmm maybe try and flash it. Dilemma is I like both the swipe and the long press. So it would seem that I have a choice to make. Oh and how do you enable the long press function in Nova?
I am having trouble getting Google Assistant unlock the screen but if screen is on it works fine.

How did you guys get the new google pixel persistent search bar uptop on nova launcher? I thought that was a pixel launcher exclusive? Also, if you have the widget, can you change it to display weather rather than just the date like on the pixel?

Question Nova launcher

Hello!
I just recently got my OnePlus 10 (exchanged for S22U) and couldn't find any answer to it:
If I choose number or dot for notifications, it will only appear a dot and if I choose only number, no notification will appear on the app icon at all.
Nova Launcher is unusable, and I don't want only dot on the icon. For my workflow, I need to see the number on the icon.
Can you help me please?
Well thank you
Why is Nova Launcher unusable?
on android 12 is there a glitch when opening a home right?
I don't know what you talk about, sorry.
Since android 12 there is a problem with Nova launcher. Do you use another launcher?
No problems using Nova prime launcher with android 12!

its a bug reported from months in all phones under A12....change launcher makes glitches with native gestures.the only solution is to be root and flash quick swich or a modded launcher frrom magisk
I know. The whole discussion on this arose because people told me that their Nova launcher is working properly
Thank you
Nova ftw
When I switch between home and recents, especially when closing an app or moving from one app to the homescreen, you get a little pop up of the most recent recent app flash up, it's not the end of the world but it's annoying.
I'm using lawn chair but noticed the same with pixel rootless, not sure what other launchers exhibit this issue, maybe it's just oos11 being a bit crap

Question Dynamic Calendar Icon

Is it OP launcher or Android 12 issue that calendar icon only displays 31 rather than the actual date. I tried different icon packs but no go. If I am not mistaken, I had this feature on my OnePlus 7 Pro on android 11. I understand this feature works with 3rd party launchers but was curious to know any fix to make this feature work with the default launcher. Thanks
Install Google calendar
Google calendar is the default calendar on this device. I did further research and it appears to be a known issue with this device. Hopefully, next iteration of firmware might fix it. It's a step backwards imo. Not a big deal but annoying for sure.

I have the same issue as well but others report no issues with stock/system launcher. Dynamic Calendar icon works fine with 3rd party launchers like Nova, Action Launcher, etc. I am hoping NOVA will come up with a way to smooth the gesture hiccups. Action Launcher recent update did make the gestures much smoother (although not perfect). So there is a hope
I use business calendar for work, has a tonne of options, think there's a free version, widget looks better then Google calendar too.
I think if it's to be a dynamic icon, wouldn't that essentially be a widget.
Think I've been under a rock. Haven't noticed dynamic icons before
Edit: I've never noticed that lol. Just spotted it now

Hi all, One of the things that was missing for me was the center clock. The void in the middle needed to be filled so here you have a module to place the clock smack in the middle, it's not off center like previous mods, this one is as it...
