Recently I purchased Mi A2. For every new app installation that newly installed app is being added to home screen.
previously in my old mobiles like Mi A1 there was an option in Play Store settings to disable this.
Now I cannot find this option in Play Store settings. Is any solution to disable this?
try another launcher app
for me I use rootless launcher from play store it seems good

Click and hold on your smartphone desktop, a few options will appear, click "Home Settings" and disable the "Add icon to Home Screen" option.
Thank you very much..It worked.

For every app I install, a shortcut is automatically added to a home screen. It's not a huge deal since it takes a second to delete, but I'm curious if there's a way to prevent this happening and just have the shortcut in the app drawer? I cannot find anything in the settings to turn of the "feature".

why don't you check google play settings ? there is a checkbox for that (checked on by default)

Go to the Play Store -> Settings and uncheck Add icon to Home screen.
Duh... I totally forgot about the play settings! There I was looking in the phone/launcher settings. Thanks.
Is there anyway to replace the lockscreen

I tried to do this a week ago (non-root) and could not find a standalone lock-screen app that would actually replace the Amazon one. Some wouldn't run at all, and the rest would appear only after the Amazon one, which of course defeats the purpose.
I did find one thing that works though. I use Smart Launcher 3 as my launcher, and Smart Launcher 3 has a built-in lock-screen option. I enabled that and it has worked perfectly ever since. I never see the Amazon lock screen anymore and the SL3 lock screen is very nice.

Yeah I have tried the same thing, the one thing I usually run across is the fact that amazon has a modified settings app and lock screens can't be enabled. I really just want to disable the amazon one completely if I can and replace it. I have root and Xposed installed.
Can root be used here to replace the amazon settings so we can use a custom lock screen?
I really want to use google now when the device is locked and be able to switch songs from google play without having to unlock the device?
EDIT: Oops! Miss-read this!
Root device.
Install TWO launchers for safety (I used APEX and Google Now).
Save a copy of the fire launcher and then delete the fire launcher using root.
This will leave your tablet in a buggy state. REBOOT.
Then pressing home will let you chose your default launcher. I used Google Now.
Check the end of this video for a play-by-play:

I attempted to search for something obvious through pm list, no specific apk file, probably integrated into system UI, I suppose a more experienced member will have to look, as I am in no way an expert.

With nova launcher you can add an 'activities shortcut' to settings.
On my phone this lets me get to settings options that are not usually visible in the settings menu.
Has anyone tried this with the fire? ( I don't have a fire 7 yet)
Hi guys, I'm new using Samsung phone. Is there any way to lock the screen without press power button? I saw an app called "Good lock" but it's server down
You can use Soft Lock Screen from the store

Firstly,
it depends what "Samsung phone" you got.. a Note 9 or what?
Secondly,
as far as i know ? ,
if you use a 3rd party lockscreen app, you canot use Fingerprint etc to lock/ unlock and certain other apps eg like some banking apps.
You have to use a stock (Samsung) method.
Good lock 2018, is only available to certain markets,
worldwide.
I do not have option to install Good lock 2018.
I have installed standalone, NavStar app (Samsung)
(ApkMirror website)
which i believe is part of Good lock 2018.
It has navbar lockscreen option.
Works fine, no issues.
I'm sure there is other Samsung options also. eg Edge panels etc.
See screenshot
If you don't mine an onscreen floating button, you could use the Assistant menu found under Accessibility, Dexterity and interaction to get a floating always on button. You select the features that you want or turn off all the features except the lock one.
you can just set it to lock after 5 seconds when the screen goes off.
Nova Launcher Prime is another option - You can use gestures to screen lock by double-tapping screen or double-tapping the status bar.
Sorry not mentioned , it's Samsung Note 9. I tried install Good lock 2018, but can't use.

Then you are in same boat as me.
I couldn't install Good lock 2018 directly, due to market restrains, etc.
I had to separately in install each standalone app
that's included in Good Lock 2018.
I downloaded these standalone apks.
from ApkMirror website, also i had to download
Activity Manager (free) from Google Play .
It's an app to create shortcuts, to enable you to access each standalone app settings, as it the apps
won't appear in app drawer.
See screenshot, for
some of standalone apps (Good lock 2018) and Activity Manager app.
I have a Note 9 and use a screen lock app from the store. It lives in the notification area and you just tap to turn screen off.
I use Nova Launcher Prime gestures to lock screen by double tapping screen...

Use the Navistar "add a button".
Just on screen lock put the nav bar with the off button.
Hi everyone,
I've been install AA on my mi 8 device, but I can't find the app icon on home screen and there is no option to open app on play store (the option just Uninstall). I'm running on Android 10 with MIUI 11. Please tell me how can I open the app. Many thanks for everyone who answer.

This is system app and is hidden. Use activity launcher app to add shortcut.
