That's weird. Did you need to update the app? Try deleting it then drag it back from the widgets page?

the Att version has the rounded/smoother looking search bar., but use nova then you can make anyway you want.

This happened to me with the S8 once and it took forever to get it back. I think it was something with a certain theme messing with it. It took a factory reset to actually get it back to normal.

I had once updated the google search bar to round and once I reset my phone I have the same old rectangular Search bar again ! What do I do to get that round shape ? **** , I want that man .Someone hear me out !

For me, i faced the same issue at the first Start Up. DBT/Exy Version. I get rid of it with delete the widget from homescreen and replace it. I mean i put it on the Homescreen again, i dont delete the Google App itself. Since then, my searchbar is rounded. Hope this may work for you.. Good Luck !

OP are you using any themes?

Haha no it's not a great price!! Bought it anyway and I'm loving it.....super smooth!! The video has more options than the actual launcher but I'm assuming it's because it just came out today. I think there will be plenty of great updates. The widgets are pretty awesome!!!

Looks great but I would never pay that price for a launcher app, or any app for that matter.

I have played around with this launcher cause my friend has it on his phone. I dont like the fact that there is no dock on it. Other than that it is an awesome launcher except for the price of coarse. I bought SPB shell and never use it.

Are the themes available for all carrier branded phones? I'm on AT$T. I know on some other phones only the TMobile branded phones had theme chooser to let you change the theme, so I figured I'd ask.

on a side note any idea where one can find a Hello Kitty theme, my wife has a tmobile LG G-Flex
I'd be willing to pay,
I don't really want to run a custom launcher and messaging plugin and everything that if possible,
thanks in advance.

[Q] Auto hide nav bar??

anybody working on something for this??...like when in youtube and when you watching videos?? i tried the gmd app but i dont like it!!
I've been using Ultimate Dynamic Navbar (UDN) as I also had issues with GMD. I don't think there's a way to auto-hide the default nsv bar (at least not yet).

I've got zero issues with it. It starts when I power on the phone and gives me zero problems. I've got it set to where it is invisible, I tap the very bottom edge of the screen and the soft keys come up.

You should get used to play with this new UI but I would not say it's awful.
BTW Tapatalk has now access to your position and accounts (I saw these requests through Xprivacy).
Subscribed didn't show any forums
You couldn't tell what was read and unread
You couldn't mark forums as read.
When you finally got to the forum you subscribe to and went to a topic, going back takes you right out of the forum.
In my opinion definitely awful is the best description
Are there any alternatives?
The new update really is ****.

Yes that's the problem, Tapatalk is the only app, forum friend is to slow and other i don't find. I use Tapatalk since years but it's getting more and more horrible and the last two updates are the biggest crap i ever see. The XDA App is nice, if you want a app for more Forum you are lost
Tapaltk is orrible now....
Have someone found a decent alternative for it?
Just go back to 4.9.5 from the link in post #3
