Hello everybody,
I am using Android Oreo beta in my Nokia 8 and One thing i have seen is the inability to place icon for apps in home screen.
Normally this is present in either play store settings or launcher settings (long press home screen > settings > Add icon to home screen)
After the oreo beta update , it is missing ! Is anyone facing the same issue ?
Already mentioned quite a while ago, this is a bug. Nokia did not include this button in the Homescreen Setting.
Google moved this setting there with Oreo.

Hi,
I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 in my Sony Xperia SP and since Trebuchet is the default launcher, wanted to try out Google Now Launcher. However, after installing it from the Play Store, I'm unable to switch from Trebuchet to Google Now. The main reason being:
1. There is no Settings > Home options (where I can switch the launchers).
2. Tapping on the Google Now Launcher tells me to clear defaults in Trebuchet and then press home button, however, the clear defaults button in inactive.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem will be a great help!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Neither on stock there's. Have you tried to locate in settings > apps, the active launcher you have?
In its info should be a voice to reset "its default state" and then you could choose your favourite launcher pressing home
So, I finally updated to Nugat last night, and now Android Auto 2.0 has a few annoying 'features' I needed to fix. I figured them out, so I'll share here.
I could no longer get to my main home screen. This used to be really handy, as I could plug in my phone, get everything setup, tap recent apps and then home to get to my regular home screen. I need to be able to do this to arm my home alarm and to launch Waze.
SOLUTION 1 - 1 Tap Quick Bar
There are a lot of apps like this, and I tried this one first, did exactly what I wanted it to, but it left too much going on in my notification pane. Basically this creates an additional notification bar that you can add settings or applications to. I added Action Launcher 3, Waze, my home alarm app, and two others to it, worked fine.
If there were a way to have a notification bar like this be active only when Car Mode was enabled, it would be my preferred method.
SOLUTION 2 - Custom Quick Settings - (PREFERRED)
This works perfectly, takes up almost no space (one quick settings tile), and looks like it is built in.
I installed this, added a quick settings tile to go directly to my Action Launcher 3 home screen (my wife set it up to go to Nova Launcher), and now I just pull down on the right side of my Nexus 6P screen, tap on the Quick Setting Tile that says Home, and bam, back at the home screen. Tap on the Home button in the Android Auto overlay and I'm back in Android Auto (I just leave it in Waze).
Hope this helps others.
Hi, I recently got my p20 Pro and have some gripes if someone can help.
1. I like to use blue light filter. I want to use it all the time. Problem I have is, phone seems to turn it on and off depending on ambient light. I don't want this. There is some setting in display about automatically adjusting display based on ambient light and I have switched it off but no luck.
2. I installed nova launcher (prime version) and am struggling to use it. I want to add apps to homescreen and also to the bottom of screen. I cant do that. When I long press on home screen, I get option for setting, wallpaper and widgets but I can't seem to add apps.
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
Any help please.
Edited to add 4th question..

I don't think there is a way to do this, other than use a third party app that does the same thing.

For Nova, you go into your main drawer and just hold down the app and then you can drag it to your homescreen
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
No notifications on the ambient display, unless EMUI 9.0 as fixed this. However 8.0 and 8.1 do not have this function.
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
The only quick action button you have for the camera is to go into its settings and choose the "ultra snapshot" option right at the bottom of the settings menu. This will give you the option of double pressing the volume down to take a quick snapshot and gets the camera activated.
Any help please.
In some if my apps a settings option of 3 dots would appear in the nav bar. Since installing Android 10 those options don't appear so I can't change app settings nor back up data in those apps. I use Nova but that doesn't affect nav bar.. Any idea how to get settings dots back?
Please help if you can!
Not sure without a screenshot what exactly you mean but it might be an issue with the apps not upgraded to 10.
Another idea, have you try a clean install of those apps if you didn't already.
Is it possible the settings have moved since android10?
It is legacy apps that haven't been updated and never will be
I can't take a screenshot of where the menu used to be since it isn't there now. These apps originally used the Android menu key. Then went to 3 dots in nav bar in the right side. There is an app that creates a floating menu key by fooling Android 10 that it is a keyboard.
A real keyboard with a menu key or a menu key in Nova would be the best solution.
Hi everyone,
trying on MIUI 12.5 to enable Microsoft Launcher with Gestures instead of the 3 Bar Bottom Navigation.
Installed "MyGestures" App - which enables gestures - fine.
But still having the 3 buttons bar on the bottom.
Have tried FNG which is recommended by many people, but it only hides the 3 bar bottom - still having a black bar.
Some months ago (before I wiped my phone) I have enabled the gestures in the MIUI menu, and it hid the navigation bar.
But now I get the following chinese info (seems like a message to activate the default launcher, as it gets enabled after right clicking the button)
see screenshot.
Any idea how to activate it without auto starting default launcher?
well for anyone with the same problem, I got a workaround which is quite embarrasing but at least it works to remove the 3-bar navigation.
You need the "LADB" application from Playstore which sadly costs some money.
Then in short:
1. Developer Options - > Wireless ADB enable
2. start LADB and connect it (you have to use dual window feature, because otherwise the port+pin will change)
you need to do this once, after setting up - it will connect next time automatically.
3. insert in LADB command line: settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1
It works good. But you have to do it again after a reboot.
