Only see Google Now / QMEMO on home swipe menu - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I only see Google Now and QMEMO icons on my LG-D885 but I've seen screens where there's the voice app and another on it.
Can I add options to it somehow?

have you disabled or frozen the voice app?

Nope, I'm rooted but I've not used titanium or xposed/xposed apps as yet for tweaking etc.I did flash a new build of firmware (10f) and can't recall if the other apps were showing in the swipe menu prior.
It's no big deal, just a curiosity. I don't even use the apps that are missing either.

[INFO] Fast app switcher erasing Launcher default? Uninstall Qik!

First of all, I didn't figure this out but got the resolution thanks to a post by vaelek. Thanks vaelek!
If you have to reselect your launcher when you press the Home button after using the fast application switcher (long press on Home button), the problem is not the ROM you're using... it's the latest update of Qik.
Simply uninstall Qik and the issue goes away. Simple as that.
Thanks!!!!!!!! It worked like a charm
Why not just uninstall any home apps that aren't going to use... I remove everything except LauncherPro Plus. It never asks for a default because theres only 1.

If you're on a rom w/ sense and you would like to use Launcher Pro, I'm guessing that isn't an option. My brother was having this same issue and after he uninstalled Qik everything is fine. He's using a ROM that has 2 launchers pre-installed.

because even if you do uninstall home apps that aren't used, you still get asked if you want to use the stock launcher or launcherpro. also, not everyone knows how to remove the stock launcher.
To uninstall any system apps, I suggest using Titanium Backup. and going into the Backup/Restore tab and just find what you don't want, and just uninstall.
I can also verify that installing qik does indeed fix this...
I was wondering what was causing this. Issue resolved after Qik was uninstalled, thanks for posting that.
i just removed launcher pro.

[Q] Google Now launcher and missing icons

I've just installed the Google Now Launcher but some icons, like calendar and notes, are missing, showing only a green android.
Is there a way to fix this?

Please use search, this topic has been discussed before.
The icons for certain built in LG apps do not appear to show up in third party launchers. Some folks have found icon packs that you can install to work around the issue (this only works with certain launchers).

Got it, thanks..
Another question (I've just found out).. How can I disable google now launcher (to use again the LG launcher) without uninstalling it? If I go in the app menu the disable button, the one to delete the preference for that app, is grey..

Go into settings and clear the defaults for the Google now launcher in the app menu

That's not working as I said, the button is grey, I can't clear the defaults like I do with the other app!
Okay I misunderstood your first post on this. The LG launcher is called home. launch that and it should ask if you want it as the default.

[Q] Disable/uninstall Google swipe up

Hi there
I have a rooted HTC ONE M8 running 5.0.1 and I have uninstalled all those apps I do not want.
However I really want to completely delete or disable the swipe-up from the home button that opens Goggle Search. I find it really annoying.
I do not want to install a custom ROM, ideally I am looking to see which app listed by Titanium Backup I can delete/freeze.
Cheers!
I haven't found any way to completely remove that annoying thing. But I've been using this app to at least disable the shortcut to Google Now, so swiping up does nothing except for the little animation.

Thanks.I tried it and its ok but surely someone here knows how to rid my phone of this
Okay I finally found an Xposed module that totally removes that annoying swipe up! Check out Xtended Settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=richmondouk.xtended.settings
It's under Button Settings > Enable Glowpad (set it to off) Works perfectly

Assist & Voice input

Hi to all!
Simply question: I want to remove the google assistant in the bottom corners of the homescreen, so i go settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app and i select none and till here nothing to say. The problem is that everytime i reboot or switch off the phone, google assistant return as default app instead of "none" and it's a lot weird. There's a way to definitely remove the app? i don't want to uninstall or disable it, only remove from the corners. Maybe a fake app to put there instead of google. Thank you!

If you're rooted, just freeze it with titaniumbackup. If not rooted, use adb to disable.
Edit... N/m Check the launcher settings? I use nova launcher so never seen it.
Which os are you on?
when I follow that route (settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app) I just have Google, no option for "none".
i use the MS launcher and I've never had the Google assistant on the home screen, switched back to the 1+ default and it wasn't there either
I'm on stock oos 10.0.12, I've taken a screen.. and I'm using Nova launcher

I've said I don't want to disable it because I think it could give problems
EDIT: See now from PC that your sentence was crossed out. I'm using nova too, is there a setting inside launcher that i don't see?

I'm not sure.. I have mine set to 'none' as I don't use the assistant. I haven't had any issues. In fact, it's been that way since I set up the phone some 9 months ago.

Question Disable news on left most home screen?

Has anyone found an option to disable the news on the left most home screen? I looked at the home setting and feel like I'm missing something.

Just goto settings -> Apps -> App management and Disable Google app.
That also disables the assistant which I want to keep.

One solution is to Disable the Google app and re-enable. This will fix your Google Assistant not working issue and news will be disabled untill next root.
