View 6 RepliesI'm wondering if it is possible to just remove the search bar without disabling Google now? I use the swipe to the right feature on stock launcher and would like to retain that functionality.

Any way to add a shortcut to the home screen to quickly toggle this GPS location based settings so I don't have to go into the main menu settings and talk to it that way?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi remember seeing something like that on this forum before. it was a nice, clean looking home screen and it didn't have the google search bar on the top.
is this possible? if so, does it require rooting?
Just got my nexus 5 yesterday and was playing with it. I decided to remove the favorites tray, thinking i wouldn't need it. It is the icon labeled Google on the left lower corner that contained the stock Google apps like Gmail, Google drive,etc.
So now i want to restore the tray to my home screen, but i cant find it in my app drawer.
How to remove the google search bar from the home screen?
View 10 Replies View Relatedhad to switch back to Hangouts from Textra and miss the emoticons Textra had. Hangouts emoticons seem...rather crap. I've tried different emoticons apps from the playstore, but they want to replace Hangouts. While I don't particularly like Hangouts, im just going to settle for now. So, is it possible to keep using Hangouts and just add the emoticons to the current keyboard?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt does it intermittently, and I suspect it's because the whole phone is lagging - too many little background things running I suppose.
Assuming it's the lag problem (making a single press lag so long it seems like a long press), what are some strategies for clearing out less necessary tasks the phone is doing?
First and foremost I'm a new Android user coming from the iPhone and I absolutely love everything about it. My one problem isn't Android; however, it's been this N5 wifi connection issue. I cannot connect to my home wifi whatsoever.
I do have unlimited data with my plan but still, the use of WiFi is obviously important. Has Google stated they are working on a fix for this?
I'm at the point of possibly returning my N5 for a different phone as much as I love everything else with this phone.
It all started on 5.1.1. I flashed a new build of carbon and suddenly it was searching for WiFi constantly and not finding it at all. So I did a clean install of exodus and then cm 12.1. So I went back to stock locked my boot loader on 6.0.1. The WiFi issue still persist.
Twrp 2.8.7
1 and radio/modem for mmb29k.
I normally have my Nexus 5 phone WiFi connected to my home network and have Data turned off.
If I move out of range of my network obviously the phone's WiFi connection drops.
When I return to within range of my home network my phone doesn't automatically reconnect to my home network. I have to press the power button on the phone to wake up the screen and within a couple of seconds the phone connects to my home network.
When I first got the phone I never had this issue. The phone would reconnect to my home network even though the screen hadn't been woken up.
When I got the phone it was on an older version of Android .. before Android version 5.
I have run the phone in Safe Mode and the automatic reconnect still doesn't occur.
So on Lollipop 5.1.1 should the reconnect to WiFi be automatic ?
Nexus 6 periodically not automatically connecting to established wifi connections? When this happens I have to power off and then when powering back on the connection is resumed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a Nexus 5 about 15 days back. I am very happy with the phone - except for the fact that I face difficulty connecting to my Home Network in particular. My Windows Laptop, My wife's iPhone and iPAD connect to the same WIFI almost instantaneously. However, my Nexus 5 phone keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address" endlessly. At times, it says "Weak Signal - Cannot Reconnect" and gives up. However, all other mobile devices show that the signal strength is good. the phone does connect to the WiFi after sometime by itself.
I do not have this problem when I am at my office. It connects immediately to the WiFi in my office.
The Router setting at home is as follows :
Mode : AP
Band : 2.4GHz (B+G+N)
Channel Width : 20/40 Mhz Auto
Channel Number : 11 - 2462Mhz
Broadcast SSID - Enabled
WMM - Enabled
Authentication - WPA-PSK
Cipher Suie - CCMP
Basically I was streaming a video on you tube the other night, until my Nexus 5 froze up. My phone was taking way too long to respond, so I decided to hold the power button until the device shut off, and I held the power button again to turn it back on. (duh) As soon as it turned back on, I was no longer able to connect to my home WIFI. So now whenever I try to connect to our home WiFi, I get an "authentication error" and the WiFi network status just comes up as 'saved" instead of "connected". My mobile Data works fine, it's just my WiFi that isn't working anymore. Did I accidentally fry a component within my Device that allowed me to connect to a WiFi network?

However, I want to add more icons to the home screen other than the 5 that are currently on there.How do I do this? I am currently using the "Widescreen HD 9700 O550" theme (which looks really nice).I just switched over from the G1/Android OS so I am still learning my way around the Blackberry.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was sitting down with my nexus on my leg with about 40% battery left when it suddenly turned off and then flicked to the google startup page before going blank. After attempting to turn it on again (to no avail), I resorted to plugging it in, which resulted in the phone looping on the google page then vibrating before repeating. I tried to get it into the bootloader menu, but it appeared and then reverted to the google page after the phone vibrated.
I've tried looking up solutions, but the only plausible situation for me seems to be returning it so the warranty can take over. The only hitch with that being that the bootloader is unlocked (not rooted, just the bootloader). I really am stuck, and do not know what to do
I am inordinately happy about this, but also annoyed that I didn't know about it earlier. It was in the Google Settings app rather than the phone's settings, so I missed it! This was the one feature I envied on the Moto X and I had it all this time!

Any 3rd party app that can do the same?
So one thing I do miss from my Note 4 was the ability to clip screenshots. You could just take out the S Pen and it would take a screenshot and you could crop it and draw on it, etc.
Then you could easily share it and it didn't save it to your device.
Back when I had the LG G2 it had similar functionality, but it was via a built in app that was easily accessed from the Notification tray.
Is there a Play Store app that would offer similar functionality. Ideally I could swipe down on the screen, and access an app. The app then would allow me to crop or draw on the pic and send it.
When I look for them in the Play Store they seem to be more focused on screen recording or something.
the google search box has always been at the top of my home screen. it no longer resides there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I enjoy doing a little theming as small projects. Currently, I am working on changing the app drawer button and animating it once it's pressed. I have the stock launcher decompiled (Velvet.apk) and have found the app drawer image therein that I need to modify/change. However, there are four of them listed and each with different sizes/dimension. The dimensions found were 84x84, 56x56, 112x112, and 168x168. Which one of those dimensions portray the actual size of the app drawer button on the home screen?
Side note, I have Xposed installed which modifies my framework. I was surprised I was able to install my framework-res.apk in Apktool and decompile the system app without issues. If I edit my velvet.apk and replace the stock one with my modified one will I encounter issues since Xposed is installed?
Definitely a hardware problem as it does it on recovery. It is getting progressively worse.
Used to be when it was hot, bit even doing it at normal temperature now. Took phone apart and remade all connectors, still the same.
Occasionally, my phone screen will turn as I take it out of my pocket. It only stays on for about a sec. This just started happening about 2 weeks ago. I'm running 6.
