Hey Everyone,
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime on my Nexus 7 (unrooted) and for some reason stock apps, such as the clock and calendar, aren't showing up in the app drawer. They haven't been disabled and still appear when using the stock launcher so can anyone explain why they don't show in the nova drawer? Is there a way to make them show up?
Thanks
I use the free version and don't see a way you could have mistakenly hidden any. On the paid version there looks to be a way or at least group the apps differently.
Go into App drawer and into Nova Settings (three dots). Click on DRAWER. There is a HIDE APPS section.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: I noticed you're using PRIME version so editing my comment.
Did you accidentally switch to the "downloaded" view for the app drawer?

wow...turns out I must have hidden them (don't remember why I thought that'd be a good idea). thanks for your help
What's going on guys? Seeing as to how this phone is super fast and snappy, I thought I'd create the first "Themes and Apps" thread for the Razr M
Almost as soon as I got the phone, I downloaded and installed Go Launcher, Go sms, go calendar, go task, go note, and go switch because thats what I'm used to and those apps/widgets kick ass...
but I know that the "circles widget" is supposedly really cool and the stock launcher wasn't too bad...so I was wondering, what launchers are you guys having success/fun with? Go launcher runs super fast with all the animations and whatnot, so I can definitely imagine the other launchers probably run great too
Stock Moto Blur Jelly Bean launcher!!!

A lot of people are either running with apex or nova these days. IMO they're pretty similar except the fact that apex has gestures included for free (which is one of the main reasons people use it) while as nova does not have gestures included. IMO I thought Nova was a little snappier but that's just one guys opinion. I recently switched back to the stock launcher because I missed the circles widget. Plus I might upgrade to jellybean soon but I'm waiting because there was a couple articles online that said the official version might be released this week! Prolly not... but better to have hope than none at all lol.

I'm just addicted to themed icons, I think that's why I'm stuck on go launcher

Go launcher because of the themes also, but then went back to the stock because I also miss the circles widget.
I'm using Go Launcher also. Not really in love with the circle widgets, so that's no loss for me.
Personally, I'm not into themed icons at all. Or any theming for that matter. Prefer a stock (or close to) look. Using Nova Prime and the JB icon pack.

i know!! its so lame we cant use circles widget on 3rd party launchers.....itd be awesome if someone could create a hacked APK that if we sideloaded could let the widget be accessed by any app
+1 on hacked circle widget not a big fan of it personally, but good too have options
And I'm rooted on JB leak, debloated running blank all black lightning launcher with swipepad
Saves RAM saves battery works great no lock screen either
Nova Prime with JB leak. Pretty much installed that right away when I got the phone but I'm kind of curious to use the stock launcher, however I got Prime on sale and I love the gestures to add another 5 app launches from the dock.
I am using the razr m launcher in my inspire...

Hi,
I've just gone though the ROMS-CM 10 and Eclipse, but found that CM 10 has really bad speaker problems for incoming calls, which I could not, nor others users could not, work around. Although its the most interesting ROM and quite smooth, and allows for themes from Market. The Eclipse is very smooth and I think built better, but frankly boring. Neither of these allow for the Moto 3 rings, which I noticed nearly everyone in this string has missed or gone back to. Also, I'd hoped to be able to allow for the larger screen in a ROM, where the soft device tools at the bottom are eliminated (using changes in Build.Prop and the app: "Button Savior" as replacement-which is a fabulous app), and while CM 10 allows for their elimination, except for "menu" still the black area remains. Eclipse doesn't allow for this at all. Making the changes in Build.Prop works in CM 10 re: the screen but the speaker issue turned me away after awhile along with losing all notification alerts and signal strength meter.So back to stock moto and found that Nova launcher, with root, allows for, what seems, at least a %60 transparency on the bottom of the screen as well as the elimination of the top notification bar, but the alerts occur and incoming emails can be seen in the Lock screen-works well. So, I'm now back to stock w Nova, although the Moto 3 ring app cannot work on Nova.
Using Action Launcher. I love it.

Stock most of the time but occasionally Nova prime. If it weren't for the ugly Motorola icons I could probably live with the stock launcher all the time. One more clock widget free is certainly close enough to the circle widget to live with (except the text messages not showing up in it) on Nova and I enjoy the options of Nova but the stock launcher performs as good as any and is pretty close to stock android save the left most quick settings I could take or leave.

Well I just came from rooted mytouch 4g and loved the endless possibilities of being rooted! But I don't want to root this GN2 yet because of warranty but enough said I want to change my dpi or just change the size of things and love a good launcher with lots of themes but not any launcher IV tried has abilities to change icon size or dpi...
Any one found a good launcher besides nova prime, or go launcher

I hate Go Launcher. It used to be great. Then they switched over to GetJar to download themes, and they have Free to download but pay to use themes. It's a huge mess. I personally like Nova or Apex. Although now that ADW has updated their app, I've been using that. I have to say it works pretty well, though each time I reboot I have to reset it as the default launcher.
I love the stock launcher with a few exceptions; I don't understand why they made the pages a 4x4 grid. The Note fully justifies a 5x5 grid. I wish that the other launchers gave you the ability to quick-scroll between pages in the homescreen and in the dock like the stock touchwiz launcher does.
I changed my DPI to 280 and use Go Launcher with a 6x6 grid and works very well. Now the stock Samsung keyboard and dialer did not scale correctly, but I use Swipe and the Go Dialer.
Adw has gotten as lot better and after a haitus from it I'm back and it's better than it had ever been

Lovin this LauncherWP8. Very neat and customizable. This phone is otherworldly.
Not finding that on the play store. Are you referring to a theme or an actual launcher?

Still stuck on Nova launcher. Fast, stable and the backup feature is in the free version. $4 for the pro, gives you message and email counts on the icons, just like TW.

You could simply use one of the toolkits. And if something happens you can use it revert back to complete stock.

Well, I finally invested the time in learning enough about Lightning Launcher. It's really COMPLETELY different than other launchers I've tried, which is what I like about it. I've tried Apex, ADW, Nova and briefly touched GO -- they're all pretty much the same -- all pretty good. Lightning is kind of a big pain to figure out and it doesn't give the option for a scrollable dock, but you can pin, resize, rotate and arrange all icons, widgets and folder labels in whatever way you want, all on a zoomable, scrollable page. You can't really apply themes, but you can make up whatever you want. Your screen is really like a window onto an infinite desktop that you have full control over. It doesn't have the fancy animation options that the others do, so there's not a lot of "Wow" factor for others to see, but I have everything accessible from a single screen that doesn't feel too cluttered with icons. Lightning is free from Play and doesn't require root.
FWIW, here's a screen shot of my home page -- The two rows of icons at the bottom are pinned as well as the Google search widget at the top. Everything else moves and zooms in or out behind the pinned stuff. If I want, I can place other items above, below, or to the sides and just scroll to them. Lightning does support other pages that you can switch to with a two-finger swipe, and I use them as sort of a sandbox for trying things out, but everything I want is on my main home page.
I've been using atom launcher for a while first on my s2 and now on my note2. It will let you create folders which is nothing new but you can scroll with your finger or with the S Pen. Also you can vary the opacity of the icons on the home screen if you want to keep some what of a clean look. I'll post pics to better explain.

I am using Apex. Great launcher. Fast scrolling and screen transitions. You can install some nice themes and change the icon packs.

I'm pretty sure I've tried them all, and seem to always revert back to Nova Pro. Its fast, stable, has nice features without be gimmicky like Go and some of the others. Bottom line I want something that works that isn't at burden on system resource, Nova fits that bill.

Root modifies your devices's firmware, so...no :/
I tried the other method on xda and notice that Google now was freezing up on voice command. Here is the method that got it fully working on my Verizon Galaxy Note 3
1. Download and extract the two files.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j8h0siy229ixsni/4.4 launcher.zip
2. Install both apk files
3. Enjoy
Update: If you are having trouble getting the "Ok Google" voice activation to work, here is something to try.
1. In the Google launcher, go into settings > voice > offline speech recognition.
It may say there are no language packages installed, but in reality, it just needs to be updated. It seems to be buggy, but this is how I got it updated.
2. Select the "all" tab.
3. Install the English (us) package if it will let you.
If it doesn't, download English (UK), select the "installed" tab, and the us package should now show up as installed. To make sure the English (us) is updated, simply uninstall and download it again.
Once this is updated, you should be able to press the home button and see "OK Google" in the Google now search bar. Hope this helps!
Does this include Google now on the home screen like on the Nexus 5?

If you move an icon or widget to the next screen, it will add a screen. To have additional screens, you have to have something on it. If they are blank, they are deleted.
Awesome ... thank you for the info. Great find this launcher is butter

I certainly see this being a love/hate thing. I like more control of my launcher, so I am sticking with Nova. I do like the swipe to Google Now and the "Ok Google" options, though. I setup a gesture in Nova for Google Now, but don't know of any solutions for the "Ok Google" option. I would LOVE to be able to get the "Ok Google" to work with the phone on or off.
I like this launcher, it does run very smooth but I ended up going back to Nova. I like a little more customization with my launcher and Nova Prime gives me everything I could need and more. It is still a nice launcher though, to bad it doesn't have some more options.
Love it. Had some problems with it crashing or google search crashing randomly so I tried some of the version on the market which are quite good. Some little stability fixes for devices and such but for the most part 100% AOSP.
I was able to install this on my note 3, but I wasn't able to install the 2nd APK. Also, the notification bubbles no longer show up on my email, messages, Facebook, etc..... Does anyone know what could be wrong? I am not rooted.
Notification bubbles are a touchwiz feature that's why they don't show up

Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,
Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.
