Google search widget not working properly with launcher pro

Running dc3.5 with launcher pro. I've got the search widget on my home screen and after the first time I use it after a reboot it jumps to the top of the screen and doesn't work at all anymore till I reboot. The search key will bring up the keyboard to enter text but won't actually enter anything into the text field. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm sure it's an issue with launcher pro because I was having the same problem when I was running the widget and lp on dc 3.2.x before I lost my old evo (rip )
Swyped from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm currently running the most recent Fresh ROM and using LP Plus and don't have any issues with the Google search widget. I can enter text and also the voice to text works almost flawlessly on it. HTH

lucky you. I'm gonna try to uninstall and reinstall both again.
Also, I've switched roms to Ava6 and i'm still experiencing the same problem.

fixed
I had the same problem and finally came up with an easy fix. I know its going to sound weird but bear with me.
First hold down on the searchbar and drag it to the trashcan. Now go to another page, yes it does have to be another page. Clear a desktop row that is not the top row. Hold down on the blank row and add the Google search widget there. Now hold down on it and move it back to where you originally had it. And fixed......
Hope it works for you.

Google search brought me here... I can confirm that this does seem to work; I'm using LP v0.7.6.0 on a Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 running leaked froyo build

I had this same issue, reinstalling LP fixed it

Im also having this issue. Ill try those strategies. So far moving the bar around hasn't helped. Running leaked Froyo on Samsung Captivate.
Edit: Problem solved by using "Google Search" widget rather than "Search" widget. They look and preform the same. Why I have two of those and what the material differences are, I'm not sure! (maybe one is an updated form and one is legacy)
Do you guys think when you re-installed LP you may have switched with search widget you used?

youre crazy widget moving black magic method worked!!!!

I can also confirm the work-around. The new widget no longer animates to the top.

[Q] Setting the default homescreen on the One X

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is something really silly and simple that I'm somehow missing, but I'm unable to change the default home screen on the HTC One X. Is this not supported on the stock ROM without installing a 3rd party launcher? I'd really like to be able to change the default homescreen. When I say default, I mean the one the stock launcher takes you to upon pressing home.
I've tried looking all over but haven't found much. I'm guessing the feature exists because when I zoom out of my homescreen, one of the homescreens has a home icon on it, but I don't know how to change it to some other screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

have you tried to get all the homescreens on the screen together and just press the one you want and move it around? what i mean you get all 7 of the homescreens together. if you press on one you can move it in the order you want..so you have the homescreen the main one in the middle the one with the home icon well you can move it to the top and that will be like page 1 starting from left to right.. hope that helps

I understand what you are saying but I think you are misunderstanding his question
if I have 7 screens and say for instance I want to make screen 6 the home screen how does one do that (so that when you press the home button it will go to screen 6 and not to the middle screen [current home icon])
I have searched for this feature as well to no avail

Move all the features that are on screen 6 to screen 1. Duh. You're thinking in reverse. Think forward. Best o luck to ya.

I think you got it backwards that is alot of PT simple put how do you make another screen the home screen
it was simple with my Moto Milestone you just selected "make this the home screen"
I am thinking this is a limitation in Sense 4.0
not a biggy, but fundamentals are missing

Solution?
I might have a solution. I accidentally changed my home screen so everytime I pushed the Home button on the bottom it went to the wrong screen. The way I fixed mine was doing a restart from the screen I wanted to be the home screen. Once the reboot was complete, my home screen was set correctly.
/update Nope, somehow it randomly got changed again, tried what I thought fixed it above, doesn't work. This is stupid, obviously there is a way to change it, shouldnt be this difficult. I have exactly 9 days to return this phone, I am considering it with all the issues I've had.

I just saw on the SGS3 review that the home screen can be changed easily….
Each screen as an icon on it when in fan view. One is designated as home, to change, just click the icon on the screen you want to be home. Whatever tiles/widgets/apps are on that screen, its still home.
With the One X, you can have any of the 7 screens as home but the tiles/widgets/apps move with the home page (by dragging the home screen around and changing its order)
The only way to do it would change home screen and then manually change all the icons/widgets after

ultra noob question

Hey guys just got an internation note 2. loving it so far!!
My favorite thing was this little grey half circle on the right edge of the phone. When you click it it gives you several quick shortcuts to common apps. Now it is missing though? Where did it go and how do I reactivate it, also what is it? Is it a samsung thing or just an android 4.1 feature. Any help in understanding this new feature would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

It is multiview option ( to open 2 apps at the same time). It is activated by pressing the back button for 2-3 seconds. You can drag 2 apps from the sidebar to the screen and have 2 running apps then.

It's the multiscreen dooda. Hold back arrow to make it come and go.
You can drag any of the shown apps to the top or bottom screen along with the another from the list. Maps and email at the same time for example.

Switching what a capacitive button does

I know there is a thread on turning off capacitive buttons. But, I would like to change the behavior of them. I have a Note 4 and the Tab S 8.4 I'm running Nova launcher on both of them. On the Note 4, when I press and hold the recent/open apps button (left of the home button) the settings menu comes up (both for the phone and Nova). But, this same behavior does not happen on the Tab S. How can I change that? I've tried looking in both the phone settings and the Nova settings and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks.

I have the same question I need the same buttons changed. I'm using apex launcher and in the settings you can set what you want that left button to but it ha no effect on tab.

Just to make you both aware im working on this for you right now and nearly finished possibly, it involves moddyfying a keymap file in system/usr but im having some issues saving changes as the file is in use presumably...so im trying to find a bootloader that will let me navigate to it to copy it first so i can edit it and copy it back...i say bootloader but i mean a filemanager in a bootloader, coz the aroma in philz touch is pants lol....will let you know how it goes

Right nearly there mate the hard work is done...ive succesfully as a test that i was modifying the correct file turned my app switcher button into a "menu" button...as in if im in uc browser and i press it it will open the menu of it....or
If im viewing settings and press the button it clicks the 3 dots in the corner...so just so i dont spend my time and it turns out i misunderstood...you want it so when you press the button the main system settings menu opens up?
My long term plan is once ive modified the file correctly ill upload a copy and tell you where exactly to copy it and how.
Please reply soon m8 laters
EDIT
In other words i think its become a "more options" button lol unless thats what you were after?
Im now on a new challange to make it so when you hold the center button you get the running apps instead of google now which would be nice, cheers for sending me on this road its an interesting one...although i accidently disabled all my buttons at one point so its a bumpy one...lucky i made a backup

Ok ive realised ive misread slightly what you asked, your wanting to change the long press action on the recent apps button and not the single tap option, im already half way there , theres a jar file in the system/framework folder that effects long press actions...its a mibe field of text though and im not having much luck so far, it would be good if we were in 4.4.4 as theres simple options for this .... been spending an hour comparing apparent entries you can change in other samsung phones to the entries on the same file in our tab s......but there are differences that make it harder in our file and i cant see the same entries...it might explain why nova launcher isnt doung the job....ill keep working away though

what rom are you using and is it t800 or t805

I am also having the exact same issue with my S5 and Tab S 8.4. Hope pdolton2000 will post a fix soon. I am running BlissPop ver. 2.0 (Lollipop) on my Tab S. I tested on Google Now Launcher and Launcher3, both works. FYI, I did set left hardware button to be the menu key via the Bliss setting. It does work on other apps. Just not on Nova Launcher. Nothing happens when I tap on the left hardware button. thx in advance.

Root your Tab and install xPosed Additions (after installing the xPosed Framework). Upgrade to the Pro edition and it does everything you want (or should!)

anybody hear about the re-release of Goodlock?

It won't work on the tab S3 from what I can tell. But has anybody who's rooted given it a stab?

I'm using the task switcher on it currently as that's the only thing that I liked from it.. I'm not rooted (anymore) by the way

How did you get it to work?

One handed operation
Have this on my note, installed it on my s3 from the Galaxy store, slide out home/back button. Can't bring myself to hit the home button with the stylus.

How did you get it working? It says it's not available for my device/region.

This is how you install good lock on the Tab S3 the good lock app itself will not work so you have to install the bits of it separately they will all be different applications there is 9 of them all together but instructions are in the screenshots below
1 download from site
2 unzip and install all app files within the folder
3 ready to go enter all the Apps and start tweaking your device
4 . Download Nova Launcher from the app store the rest of the instructions are at the bottom of the webpage with the download on
https://www.androidsage.com/2018/06...-install-good-lock-for-samsung-galaxy-phones/

I have tested it all and it works some bits obviously don't apply to the Tab S3 like always on display functions etc but most of it will edit things and work it seems pretty cool but personally it's a bit too clunky at the moment for me as I like using the stock launcher you can switch back to stock after editing the settings but every time you want to change a setting you will have to re make Nova Launcher your default change the setting and then go back to the default home launcher I'm hoping they will release it for the Tab S3 at some point as it seems to work perfectly so hopefully one day soon it will be compatible with this device but if you want to give it a go and check it out the above instructions should do the trick
